A •Ito how Important that Meek Looking In Camp Macon, Ga., Sunday Dec. 25.1898. Christmas day with the sun shining bright and a warm soft breeze blowing. Tbe people here celebrate Christmas some­ thing like we do in Michigan on a fourth at July. Laat night at midnight tbe bells aad whistles begun ringing and blowing aad the sound of exploding firecrackers, cannons, etc., have been kept going since. It is quiet, however, in camp and I have taken my tablet and strolled to a secluded spot within a group of trees upoq the bancs of the Oclamulga river, which flows by bur camp. It Is a very pretty nook, surrounded by vine wreaths of mistletoe, which grows very plentiful here. As I eon not have the pleasure of a sleigh ride or go skating, I shall attempt to write a modest little article about tbe Army Mule “Skinner” of whom volumes might be written, if 1 should repeat half or open be goes around bulldozing raw re­ cruit mules with shaved tails, or putting up jobs on rivals waom be hates and fears. And then be keepe up an occas­ ional kick up with joy and run around with glee till his driver corners him, and be is led dejected and crestfallen back to the wagon tongue or picket line and hal­ tered to bls place again. Tbe government does not permit tbe tails of its mules to be shaved or clipped. In winter they stand rear In. front to the wind, and tbe long heavy tails prevent them from getting chilled. A long switch tall mule is a regular veteran and a hero of many hard services, a shave tall Is a re­ cruit not long In army service, with all his promotions and honors to win. The citizen teamster is not required to wear a uniform, be buys at his own ex­ pense whatever kind of clothing he pleas­ es. He is not a bird of paradise, but a bird of another feather. Off or on duty he is a good fighter when necessary. Like average meu enduring rugged out of doors life be very often-soothes bis sufferings with whiskey. And I have heard that be would eat bay were liquor poured over it. When “full” bls nature as a “good fellow” or “bad man’* crops out In fuli blossom and runs riot. It he Is a good fellow his drunken antics will force a laugh from you. If ha Is a bad man, you’d better steer clear of bion. His belongings are usually what he bus on bls back, what he has in his pb^ket, what be has in bis grip or “turkey sack” and wbat he has In tbe “Jockey box” in the wagon. Tbe contents ot bis “turkey sack” are usually a tew clean pieces of underwear. Tbe contents tbs stories which they tell. The average citizen who is astonished at the magnitude of trains necessary to transport a regiment by rail, would be as­ tounded at the colossal requirmenta of transportation for an army in the field. Thia is accomplished by pack trains, from the “base of supplies” behind, right up into tbe Jaws of death In tbe firing line in front of bis “jockey box” are, a curry, a horse neve myriads of vehicles, men and mules brush, some extra mule shoes, a monkey all transporting tor tbe army.-in their sever­ wrench, a box of axle grease, an extra al departments. To every regiment in tbe whip (borrowed), an ax. a wagon jack and fleld is assigned a wagon of 25, six sometimes a bottle of whiskey. Tbe con­ mute teams, or 30, four mule.

Tba unenilsted wagoner calls himself a ’’government teamster.” that sounds selfrtspecting and dignified, or “citizen team­ ater.” that distinguishes him from tbe en­ listed teamster with whom be prefers to have no affinity and little association. Tbe soldiers who are opposed to titles and who know tbe “citizen team*ter” Intimate­ well call him familiarly a “government mule skinner” and that fills tbe bill exact­ ly. Six mule teams are not driven with reins but a single line called a “Jerk itoe" which leedh over tbe backs of the other mules to the tett “nigh lead mule.” The bite of the twd lead mules are conBfeted by • Ughl wooden or Iron rod M*ed« “jockey stdk“ to tbe “ott leader” aad thus the teams are guided.

Tuesday was a day of great importance at tbe State Capitol In the biatory of Michigan’s polities, and tbe members of the House of Representatives put their stamp of disapproval upon the idea of a Dictator In republican polities. For the pasttar or more the power of Pingreeism In state politics has been getting more and more pronounced, until it bad readied that stage that caucuses and conventions were but tbe approval of Mr. Pingree’s Ideas Seizing popular issues, issues that have appealed to tbe prejudices of the masses without hope or expectation of ever being able to carry them Into effect, Mr. Pingree rode into power on a popular tide and at once deliberately set to worjr to build a machine, Io perpetuate himself, so strong that It seemed for tbe present that nothing could break tt.

We were spurred to renewed effort and such new success, as ■we fondly imagined. Our leader told us to make one more bold stand, one more mighty try, and victory would be ours. We obeyed.

The extreme agita­ tion of the appeal may be accounted for by the practice of all these good demo­ crats In giving all their gold to the poor. Here Is a sample of Prof. Coin* Harvey’/calamity froth: "The selfish ayatem of greed that has mothered the gold standard, special privil­ eges. and monopoly Is destroying the op­ portunities for the enjoyment of life, liber­ ty. and the pursuit of happiness! It is con­ fiscating our homes and reducing the peo­ ple to tenantry! It !■ quartering among us the agents of English money lenders, who are coming Into the possession of the title to our lands and the business indus­ tries of the nation! It is destroying human character and lowering the standard of morals and religion! It respects neither sex nor age! The babe in the mother's arms, the aged and enfeebled, the boy just budding int* manhood arc, all alike, through poverty existing or threatened, the victims of Its rapacity! Hoaor and pat­ riotism. a decent self-respect and love of country demand its overthrow! Our future and that of posterity is involved! Our cause appeals to the manhood and woman­ hood of America!” . If Coin Harvey would reflect a little he would discover that the real cause of poverty, misery and crime is tippling, drunkenness, soaking, boozing*—which, leads to idtenea®, loafing, worthlessness and insanity in various degrees, and. which usually ends in poverty, suffer­ ing, suicide or murder. Coin HarTey never speaks of the alcohol habit or raises his protest against it. That to not what he is employed for. He sees no wrong or harm or injury in the hor­ rible practice of drinking away wealth and prosperity But after a man is in the gutter and his family in rags^then Coin Harvey see* him a victim of the horrible oppressor, the goldbug, who is “confiscating our homes and reducing.thepeople to tenantry.” Coin Garvey’s remedy for all human ill* is debased money, the violation of contracts and the dishonest scheme of limits of presidential dandidacy as Bai­ paying debts with half the m$ney bor­ ley and Cleveland have done.

Free sliver will be dropped to 1900 and antl-expanston promise* to be tbe dominant Issue. It Is getting to be impossible for the democrats to fight two campaigns on the same Issue. Tbe United States has a population of ' Italy about 28 people to the square mile. B&gland has about 540 and Belgium 530 to tbe square mile and neither are bad places to live in. If toe population of this coun­ try was as dense as tost of either of tbe wMBtries named tbe United States would kmve a population of two billion. General Jacob Oosey, of Ohio, has corraked and prosnnlagated three great truths, vis: That the election of Presi­ dent McKinley was tbe best thing that wver happened to the country; that the Tree silver Issue to dead; that J. W. Bryan Is a back number. General Coxey knows jest where he Is at last.—Lansing Repub- «fcan. might be for sone large campaign contri­ butions that Mr. Pack, tbe street railway magnate, Is said to have made to the Pin­ gree fund. It hardly seems possible that tbe 12 views of Mt. Pack, tbe street car magnate, could have been unknown to bls chum and political God-father Gov. Pin­ gree, but perhaps they were. If they were it woald seem that this act of du­ plicity on tbe part of Mr. Pack, In ptelLg as a $1 man when be at heart was a 82 man would be enough to cause Gov. Pin­ gree the lover of “the people,” to with­ draw all support from tbe cause of tbe street car magnate, but no. In an Inter­ view In Grand Rapids Gov. Pingree said fb*t be would still support Mr. Pack, tbe millionaire. If anything were wanting to show that Michigan’s governor is a sham pretender, whose only purpose is to deceive “the people” whom be pretends to love, bls sap­ port of Albert Pack, tbe millionaire street railway magaate and 82 tariff man ought to supply “tbe missing link.” Gov. Pin­ gree will find that “tbe people” are not fools, and that they can easily distinguish between an honest purpose to serve, and a studied effort to deceive, for tbe purpose of building up a state “macblpe” that will perpetuate him In power.

We hav? ft!0*1R(l’I'irc miles of territory, with 8,892,788 population, not including Cuba Bo much of the time of congress was taken up by the discussions which preceded the wsr and tho legislation which It neces­ sitated that It did not have much letaire for other subjects. Of the war measures aside from the joint resolutions demanding the evacuation of Ctiba. which were fol­ lowed by the declaration of war by Spain, were the war revenue law and the act for the temporary increase of the army. That war revenue law. with its stamp taxes and its Increased beer tax, will remain on the statute books for a year at least Under that law three per cent bonds to the amount of 8200,000,000 were sold. The other notable events in congress were the annexation of Hawaii and the enact­ ment of a bankruptcy law. The necessary two-tlgrds vote could not be obtained for the ratification of th^ treaty for the an­ nexation of Hawaii but after the war with Spain began no difficulty was found In adopting a joint resolution whb-h made the islands a part of the United States.

The value of domestic exports in 1897 was J1.08S.714.000. Lam yeft r it was 11,250.000,000. The silver exports will add about 830,000,000 to that Imposing tntal The value of the imports was lean than tn 1M7. This was due partly to the heavy Im portations in the last-named year in antici­ pation of the passage of the Dingley tariff law. But aside from that tbs fact la ap­ parent that this country Is making for It­ self more and more of the goods It used to buy abroad, and that the Importation of foreign manufactures must continue to de­ crease. The exporta were so large last year because the demand for American wheat did not decrease materially, thia countrv supplying over 80 per cent, of the European demand for foreign wheat; because the Eu­ ropeans who began purchasing American corn In 1897 found that it was a most de­ sirable commodity and kept on buying it tn 1898 to the extent of 800,000,000 bushels­ and because the newly-discovered ability of the American iron and steel manufactur­ ers to undersell the rest of tho world en­ abled this country to sell half as much again of those metals and their products last year as In the preceding year. The supremacy of tho United States In the manufacture of ths world’s chief motels is conceded now.

While the sympathy of your milliner or maker might be appreciated and be jart as beneficial, if not more so, than «ynijmthy from a stranger, yet it can not effect year cure if you arc an ailing woman. It is loudly proclaimed through the press that “a woman can best understand a woman’s ailments,” and on thisground sick women are invited to "write to a woman ■nd get the benefit of a woman’s advice. The sort of ‘ ‘understanding of her ailments” wanted<by a sick woman is a trained medi­ cal understanding. If a woman has this trained medical knowledge she understands woman’s ailments not as a woman, but as a ^iyrsiaan. If she is not a doctor she cannot smderstand the ailments at all, and cannot treat them successfully, because she lacks the necessary training. As far as known, there is no regularly qualified woman physician connected with any proprietary medicine especially de­ signed for women—no one, therefore qualiffed by learning and experience, to advise on questions of disease and its cure. It is certain that there is no one. man or woman, connected with auy "put-up” medicine for women, excepting only Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, who, like Dr. Pierce, is a regular graduated and quali­ fied physician, and who has, like him, de­ voted more than thirty years to the special study and treatment of diseases of women. For more than thirty years Dr., H. V.. Pierce, a regularly graduated doctor, lias been chief consulting physician of the Invalids* Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y.

The injured are: Engineer Goff, badly but ooh fatally cut on "the head and bruised, and Fireman George BuKkisson. badly burned and may die. Maxey. Reddy, Hoover and Dillon were burned to death or killed undeneath the ruins of three engines and a num­ ber of cars and coaches of the two wrecked traina.

There were a number of married men among the recruits and others who hud promised to marry Wichita girls on their return. It is the women who un­ willingly allowed their sweethearts to go to Cuba that are moat worried. They are afraid their ^men” will fall prey to the attractions, of the tropical amorettes and never come back to them. The letter says that it is probable that f the colored troops remain there a year almost one-half of them will marry natives and remain there. The reason assigned for the whole­ sale slaughter of soldier hearts is that when the troops went there almost all of the boys were homesick and down­ hearted, and about the only relief they could find waa in the smiles and charms of the beautiful native women. Then as they learned something of the lan­ guage love’s charms were working and soon the soldier boys (some of them) forgot all about being homesick, so much were they enamoured with their new sweethearts. ▲ cordial invitation to aU. 10 votes.

United States Consul Mahin writes to the state department from Reichenberg: “Bohemia ia one of the most populous countries on the globe. Ito climate ia relatively cool, with rather severe win­ ters. Therefore, much fuel is used, and it is largely taken from the forests which cover the mountain sides. Yet, after the many centuries during which these forests have furnished fuel and build­ ing material for a dense population, they retain nearly their primeval arrnk. This is due to the forethought of the government in ordaining that as trees were cut down others should be plant­ ed to fill the vacancies. Vast stretches of dense forests cover the mountain slopes of this district. The wood is ing cut, but wherever a clearing ia made, small trees are planted the next spring.

He and Frank Tborp went to Mr. Goodyear’s bouse along about seven o’clock tn tbe evening. No one was there. They went around to the back door and found it un­ locked, and on going in found tbe next one unlocked. They then went through the house, stealing 12 knives, 12 forks and 12 spoons, all solid stiver, with Mrs. Good­ year’s name engraved thereon. They also tcok Mrs. Goodyear’s gold watch and chain, some napkins and other things and left, They hid their plunder under an old house across Fall Creek. They went to the bouse one night, some time after five persons have been arrested in connec­ this, and brought tbe silverware to Mc­ tion with tbe well known larceny cases Omber Bros, store and sold It all to them. in this city.

An account of tbe arrests was given In tbe Banner last week, the trip to Belle­ vue, the recovery of some of tbe clothing stolen from tbe Jew last May. and tbe re­ covery of two or three dray loads of goods from the residence of D. McOmber on West Green street A full account of tbe testimony taken at the examination will be found In this issue. . When Thorp and Grace were taken to tbe’jail they were given separate apart­ ments. and orders were given to allow do visitors to see them without the presence of an officer. Alone by themselves, depriv­ ed of liberty and tbe association of friends, they were given plenty of opportunity to meditate upon what they had done. Solitude Is a poor companion, especially for a man with a guilty coosclenee. Friends wbo visited Chao. Grace soon commenced to notice that tbe air of boast­ ed indifference, displayed at his examina­ tion. was wearing away and tbe strong will breaking down beneath a guilty knowledge and the damaging evidence against him. Monday a friend called up­ on him and advised him to confess, if be was guilty, and own up like a man. Grace still maintained his innocence, but when tbe time for parting came the ae- yon to ootne.'” Monday evening be sent word to Prosecutor Thomas that be would confess. He was taken to Colgrove A Potter’s office and there freely and frank­ ly told of his connection with all of the robberies. seen. He (Grace) and Frank Tborp pawned the watch in Detroit laat fall for 910 and sold tbe chain in Ohio last fall for 50 oents. Asked If tbe hired girl at the bouse had any knowledge of, or con­ nection with tbe robbery, he said “no.” Jew Robbery.—At the time of tbe robbery of tbe clothing store of H. D. Mlnoee on May 27th last, be was working at tbe Cedarine factory. He came up to McOmber Bros, store one evening and Tborp and McOmber Bros. proposed breaking into the- Jews clothing store. They intended to break in on Thursday night. They waited in tbe back alley. Intending to break In after the night watch made his rounds. They waited from 10 o’clock till 3 o’clock In the morn­ ing and tbe nightwatch didn’t show up. As It wm getting so late they put it off untn tbe next (Friday) night. May 27th. Tbe next night they succeeded, getting Id about 10 or 11 o’clock. At one of tbe back windows a long stick held up tbe upper sash of tbe back window by resting upon tbe lower snob aad extending up- It to reported that some of the tools were found in Grace's bouse and some in Thorp’s.

John Mc­ Omber wanted the blankets and be pro- ' posed going and getting them, so on tire evening of Dec. 17th (the same night that Frank Blaek saw a couple of fellows, with large-btfndtes. In the alley near bia marble shop) they want to tbe old bouse and thought they got all the blankets they stole. It happened that they only got four of tbe five pairs. John MeOmber carried two pain and Tborp and Grace one pair each, and carried them Into MeOmber Bros, store, hiding them in tbe basement. John packed them in a box and carried them out to bte father’s farm in Baltimore. Grace told tbe officers where they secreted the blankets, and there they would find tbe pair that waa left Officers went to the spot Tuesday morning and found them just as Grace had said. They also found a bicycle wheel which, we understand, was taken from W. H. Goodyear’s. They also went and looked under tbe steps back of tbe Baptist chnrtfh and found a lot of empty shoe boxes. . • In regard to tpe systematic robbery of W. H. Goodyears drug store Grace said that be and Tborp are innocent. Ee said that A R. McOmber and Burke Campbell agreed to steal the goods and they were to be shipped west, where Campbell was to open a drug store. After taking goods for several months Campbell’s conscience commenced to prick him and be told Me­ Omber that be was going to back out and quit. But McOmber, threatening to use tbe knowledge be had of Campbell’s guilt, scared him into giving htan (McOmber) everything he asked for. Concerning the robbery of Dr. Johnson’s dental office one noon several months ago, Grace denied all knowledge, and said that Of tbe robbery of Mrs. W. H. Powers’ residence Grace said that | be and Thorp are innocent, and that they knew noth­ ing about it Tbe 310 pairs of shoes that they tried to sell Will Young, of Bellevue, were odds and ends from McOmber Bros, stock, and were taken to Thorp’s to “scoop” Will Young into buying. Grace says thaf his downfall commenced, when be commenced to travel around the country with gamb­ ling machines. He says that be wishes that his arrest had been made a year ago and that the end would have come sooner. He seems to be glad that he bad told everything be knew, and. tbe fact that officers found plunder justi where he told them he and Tborp had hidden It, would go to prove that be was telling tbe truth. Two boxes and one trunk full of plun­ der, taken from Goodyear’s store, were found in D. R. McOmber’s residence Tuesday afternoon In one of tbe rooms where officers secured a box of stolen goods when tbe house wm first searchedv Tbe officers claim that this room waa thoroughly searched the first time, and. that these boxes and tbe trunk have been, placed there since then.

The Administration of tbe Affaira of This Great Institution Is No Small Matter.

The constitution of the state of Mich­ igan provides for the university, thus placing it on an equal footing with the state legislature, the supreme court and the executive machinery of the com­ monwealth. The constitution gives the management of the institution,- save providing an income, into tbe care erf a board of regents. The state legisla­ ture, however, has kindly come to the assistance of the regents in financial matters and has made liberal appropri­ ations for increasing the income of the institution and for aiding in bringing about permanent improvements, such as erecting new buildings or enlarging the present structures.

It baa steadily declined until it is now slightly under 26 per 1,000. In the last 16 years it has fallen more than 12 points. Population Increases, •cb, but the number of births remains i j>er 1,000 ainka. The births numbered between 18,000 and 12,000 in 1882, and they numbered be­ tween 18,GOO and 10,000 in 1896. If the rate goes on falling it will in a few years be on a level with that of Ireland, if not of France. Two things save the colony from an arrest of the growth of pop­ ulation. First the death rate—0.3 per 1,000—is tbo loweat recorded of any country in the world; second, there is a mall but appreciable immigration.

If the writing is dark this shows a love for outdoor life and sports. If the letters are slender and faint the writer is reserved and rarely shows emotion or becomes con­ fidential.

In all methods of incubation the prime requisites are effective means for the regulation of heat and for the supply of fresh air. Heat by its ac­ tion arouses life in an egg: pure air furnishes the oxygen, by means of which necessary chemical changes are produced. Ooate Grove/ HssmrGS.... •Stop co signal only.

S N In natural incubation the bird, under normal conditions, maintains the eggs -the constant temperature required in hatching out the chicks, says the Scientific American. When this tem­ perature loses its uniformity and the eggs are subjected to extremes of heat and cold the embryo dies. The con­ ditions under which a bird can suc­ cessfully hatch are therefore limited. In endeavoring to effect by artificial means what a bird accomplishes by natural means it is of the utmost im­ portance to provide some mechanical device by means of which a reason­ ably uniform temperature can be au­ tomatically maintained. It is further­ more essential that the heat be uni­ formly distributed and that the proper means qf ventilation be provided. The old systems of incubation requiring supplied moisture cause many chicks Na.

By tbe use, therefore, of two horizon­ tally rotated thermopiles, the two heat collecting funnels pointing in two op­ posite directions, it is believed that not only would the proximity of a vessel be shown by Its heat radiations, but the nearness of an iceberg, and even of land or of a sunken wreck.

McOMBER BROS. EXAMINATION Held in the Court Room Last Monday. THE COURT ROOM WAS PACKED WITH EAGER SPECTATORS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTY. rt ■ ' ' I..- Some More Goods Found in D. McOmber’s Barn Friday, Consisting o{ a Couple of Boxes of Fluids and Some White Lead. GOODS FOUND IN A PLACE THAT HAD BEEN SEARCHED BEFORE AND NOTHING FOUND. TESTIFIES THAT YEAR A. R. W. H. GOOD­ McOMBER WANTED TO SETTLE THE MAT­ TER UP. Friday tbe officers again searched the premises ot D. McOmber on West Green street and for the third or fourth time, found some goods that bad been stolen from W. H. Goodyear’s drug stock. These goods were found under some straw in a shed on the McOmber premises, and a place that tbe officers bad searched before ud found nothing. There was a paste board shoe box with some perfumes and other liquid goods; a keg of white lead ud uother box of goods. of McOmber Bros, commenced Monday morning at 10 o’clock before Justice Kenaston. Owing to tbe crowded quarters elsewhere the proceed­ ings were held In the court room which was packed with people an hour before the examination commenced. Tbe prose­ cution is represented by P. T. Colgrove ud Prosecutor Thomas and the defense by Loyal E. Knappen, of Grand Rapids, and Sullivan A-Nagler of this city. Shortly after 10 o’clock Justice Kenas­ ton announced thaKcourt was In session was the Saturday after the arrest that saw. tbe goods in Colgrove’s office, and think the cost mark was cut out judging by tbe hole in tbe wrapper. W. D. Hayes all my goods. Pint bad a talk with Allen McOmber In his stpre and be asked to see me privately saying that he could explain about all the goods found at bis father’s house: we went down to my store and be said that be knew that ail of the goods In bis father’s bouse were stolen, except some that bad been left from the old Hotchkiss stock. When Allen and 1 were talking In Mr. Colgrove’s office we stopped talking when Mr. Oolgrove came In and have never bad any talk with McOmber since then; have read over the bill of complaint and all of the goods specified in the list belong to me to the best of my knowledge and belief; Mr. Evarts helped me to take an invoice of the goods and we were very careful about it. We took each box separately and 1 took out tbe goods, called the names and quoted the cost price; after going through box, calling off names and prices, we pnt tbe articles back In tbe same box and it was nailed up and put away. In this way we went through with tbe entire lot. Think there were 34 boxes In all be­ sides several “lota,'’ such as white lead, paints, varnishes, oils, whiskey, alcohol and tbe like which were in separate pack­ ages. At this point a long list of tbe con­ tents of several boxes were read off and Mr. Goodyear identified them ali as being missing from bis store: also gave a list of tbe contents of some of tbe paper boxes. Many articles in these boxes were identi­ fied by the cost mark which had not been erased, and many of them bad on bls printed lable; found several articles that no other druggist in the city carries: there seemed to be an effort to erase my cost mark and substitute another; the articles found would form a very complete assort­ ment for a drug stock and in the 84«boxes was a little of must everything carried In my store; found large number of fluid ex­ tracts and oils. Here a long list of fluid extractsand oils were read by Mr. Colgrove. all of which were missed by Mr. Goodyear. One article, oil of Cade, was bought years ago for Dr. Upjohn and don’t think that any other druggist in Has­ tings carries it In stock. The fluid ex­ tracts were all found In one box and was a very complete assortment; the assortment of soaps was also very complete; think testified that be bad resided in Hastings all of bis* life; that be had been Cashier of tbe National Bank for 15 yean;4bat he bad known tbe McOmber Bros, since they were boys. Thought It was tbe next day after the goods were found at tbe McOmber residence that be had a talk with Alton McOmber about hta knowledge that tbe goods were stolen; Allen said that he waa innocent of any knowledge of taking tbe goods; be said Thorp and Grace came to blm and wuted to store some goods in his store, ud be consented, and let them have some boxes in which to pack tbe goods. Some time later be (Allen) said that W. H. Goodyear there was more soap than I carry in stock; told blm that be was missing goods from they had more soap than I did.

The first talk had with Allen McOmber was in tbe store tbe same day that the goods were found at tbe bouse. Of the three boxes I saw at the bouse one had tbe top off, a board was off of the top* of tbe other and tbe other was nailed up. From Colgrove’s office went down to McOmbers Bros, store; Mr. Minces was with me. and Alien talked with me at tbe back part of bis store; don't think that anyone was near enough to bear our conversation though several were In the store at tbe time; Alien said be could explain every­ thing. In my Store he said that when tbe goods came in that he didn’t know where they came from, and that be lent boxes to pack them In and that be was in tbe power of two fellows; said that be bad come Into my store twozor three times to tell me that they were my goods after he began to suspect where they came from bnt that •his heart failed him;” said that he wanted*tbe thing settled, that be didn’t want to have to go to tbe expense of hiring a lawyer. ”1 asked him who tbe parties were that be lent the boxes to, and be said that be was in the power of someone else and couldn’t tell until after the matter was all settled up. He said that he first kept tbe goods for storage and that l^ter they came to blm; be didn’t go Into detail much. In Colgrove’s office be said that the matter ought to be settled; that be knew the goods were mine, except some from tbe Hotchkiss stock, and be suggested that they all be brought to my store and what was from the Hotchkiss stock should be separated from the others; Allen did not say when be found out that they were my goods. Our conversation in Colgrove*.’ office was broken by Mr. Colgrove, who aame in and said that we could not compound a felony and that the matter coaMwot be settled; there were no marks on some of tbe goods but they were all of the same general character as from my stock. There were 34 boxes in all, seven or eight pasteboard boxes, and others were original packing boxes—shoe boxes. Here Court adjourned for noon, to meet at 1:80 o’clock. Alex Christie . Am a constable of this city and have re­ sided here for many years. On Thursday, June 12tb, a search warrant for searching tbe premises of D. McOmber on West Green street was given me. Went there with Marshal McElwain and Lee Cooley, constable. Warrant for arrest ol McOm­ ber Bros, was served that day. We went to the bouse and told Mrs. McOmber what we came there for, and we went np stairs; Mr. McElwain was left below with Mrs. McOmber and Cooley and I up stairs. We went Into a room in the south weet corner and found a box under tbe bed' full of books, diaries, etc. Told MsElwaln to get W. H. Goodyear as some stuff was found there with his name on; we next went to a closet on tbe west side of tbe house and found three boxes; pulled them out and opened them; next went to,tbe room In tbe northeast corner and in a closet got four boxes, one being piled on top of another: next went to the girl’s room and found nothing. Next we went to Allen’s room and saw a trunk and bis mother said that there was nothing in it but stuff of Allan’s; saw a trunk In John’s room and bls mother said that there was nothing In It but high priced shoes that could not be sold at the store. In the at­ tic over the woodshed we found cans of paints, white lead, etc. In tbe cellar way, under tbe cellar steps we found several boxes in which were white lead; also found whiskey, varnishes, oils etc., tbe boxes under tbe stairway were covered with pieces of old carpets so that they could not be seen. In a partition by tbe furnace we found five or six boxes of per­ fumery- A part of the stuff was loaded on a one horse dray that bad oome up to the bouse and was taken to Colgrove’s office. Think there ware three loads in all; after this we went back and got Al­ len’s and John’s tfnnks. On January 17th we again searched the premises of Mr. McOmber and In a closet in tbe south­ west room we found a trunk and three boxes that were not there when we searched tbe first time. These boxes had Bibles, packs of cards and a variety of things tn tb»m; took these boxes to Col- grove’s office. The third search of tbe premises was last Friday ud was made by Constable Mullen. Under Sheriff Harry Rlteble and myself. Found nothing In the bouse and went to tbe barn. On tbe vreat aide of tbe barn to a shed, or lean-to, wed far stabtes of cotes kted. Iwontnp over tbe bam ud threw over aesne stalks, gHE] while Mullen went into tbe shed and pitched over some straw and found a box. John reached his bud In under the straw as if hunting for goods and said that these was nothing more. Mullen said “bold on” and pitched over some straw and found some white lead and sense cans of paint; also found a paste board box With some perfumery in; the lable was partly off the box ud Allen took tbe box and tore It off, and said, °1 wonder bow these goods cams here,’’ and said that be didn’t know. I also helped to search Grace’s ud Thorp’s bouses; after Goodyear ud Evarts completed tbe inventory of tbe goods tbe boxes were nailed up and stored Away, and I have them in my pos* session now. Cross Examinatloiv John and Alien were not at tbe house the first day that a search was made, nor was Darwin McOmber there; beard that John came there the first day for a few moments but did not see him. On tbe first search in tbe attic over tbe shed we found paints and oils; on the second search, Ju. 17tb, Cooley was with me, and neither John, Allen or their father were at home. Last Friday at tbe third search Under Sheriff Ritchie, Constable" Mullen, Allen ud John McOmber and myself were there; tbe goods last Friday were found over a shed on weet side of the barn, ud .under the straw; we found five cans of paint, three cans chlorate of lime and a pasteboard box with some bot­ tles of perfumery etc. in, and Alien tore tbe lable off of tbe box. We searched all through this shed when we first searched the premises but did not find anything. John Mullen Live in tbe city ud am a constable from tbe third ward; was with Christie and Ritchie when tbe search was made of tbe McOmber premises last Friday, ud I found tbe goods in tbe shed. We went up over tbe shed or stable, Christie went into tbe east part overhead and 1 went in tbe west part over shed; saw some straw there ud prodded Into it. John McOmber and Allen were with us; John said, “jiltch It all over, if there is uytbing there we want to know it.” A sort of a box had been made by putting a board np against tbe studding at the side of the building ud I looked down into It ud saw some­ thing white; reached in and pulled out a pasteboard box. Allen took bold of tbe box ud tore the lable off. John said, “who could have put it in there;” tbe goods were tied op ud Ritchie took them to Colgrove’s office. The box contained per­ fumery and essences; also found paints under straw. Cross Examination. Friday was my first visit to tbe premises; tbe box ud cans were all in tbe same en­ closure; think tbe board was nailed to tbe studding. A. D.

Then we made a list, of all the principal items from each box and grouped them to­ gether under one head; much of tbe pat­ ent medicines bad do cost mark on; on the articles that were marked the' cost mark on muy of them had been erased or scraped off, ud in muy cases other marks were substituted; on all tbe Biblea bnt one, the cost mark had been removed by clipping a piece uff of tbe upper right hand corner of the first page, where the cost mark was; on this one tbe Ink bad. soaked through and showed the^eost mark very plainly on tbe coyer.

Would tbe peo­ ple of Barry county expect any Prosecutor to fight this array of legal talent sluglehanded and alone? The Idea Is prepos­ terous We give Prosecutor Thomas the credit of being a sharp, shrewd, rising young attorney. To even think of asking blm to fight the best legal telent in the state, In one of tbe most Important cases that has come before the bar of Barry county In years, would simply be foolish Id tbe extreme.

Said Mr. Lincoln: “1 do not pretend to know iaueh about the Tariff question, but we care importing from Europe a great deal of (railway rails and paying gold for them. If we buy say fifty tons of foelgn rails at 890 g>er ton, for a mile of iron rails we pay tbe ^European workmen $25,000 of gold and get <he metal. That Is tbe Democratic plan^ Tbe republican plan is different It is for ihose rails tojbe made In Pitts\)urfcb. Then favor of Protection to American shipping engaged In foreign trade are almost Iden­ tical. For example, Protection to manu­ facture means Protection to labor, because it insures tbe continuance of higher wages paid In this country as against the starva­ tion wages of the European workingmen. According to tbe last report ot our Commlsloner ot Navagatlon, the wages paid on a ship of 4,000 tons under tbe American flag are $7,000 greater In a year than on a ship of tbe same tonage under the British flag. Again In the construction of such a vessel we can furnish tbe material, thanks to the Protective Tariff which baa so won­ derfully developed our Iron and steel in­ dustries, as cheaply as It can be furnished to any shipyard abroad. Indeed, we are already exporting shipbuilding material. But the American shipyard pays higher wages than does tbe British; so moeh higher that the difference In the cost of construction of a vessel of 4.000 tons on tbe Clyde and on tbe Deleware amounts to about $60,000. Protection to the American merchant cur workmen get tbe gold and we have tbe Trails besides and tbey pay out that money to other Americans for food, clothing and either necessaries and comforts of life. Which policy, gentlemen, do you think is fcest for tbe good of this country, the Dem­ ocratic or Republican? For my part, I pro­ ffer tbe Republican policy.” In tbe past five years about $200,000,000 lias been sent, out of the United States In Vhe purchase ot coffee.

About four or five minutes later John came, unlocked tbe store, and we went down cellar and looked over our blankets and found three blankets miss­ ing; John went out and found one blanket that was caught on something; tbe blank­ ets were then spread out aad put under some other blankets on a mattress In tbe basement; later John packed tbe blankets in a box and put in some moth balls. The next morning after Thorp and I were arrested Allen came to the jail and told Mr. Ritchie that Colgrove had sent him to see us; be told me tbat the blankets bad been burned up; he told us to “stand pat; and to swear that tbe Sheenies bad put tbe dotblng out of the store for Thorp and I to take.” He said that “be had fixed it so tbat the load would all be taken from John, and If we (Thorp and Grace) would stand it all, be (Allen) would get us out on ball; tbat be would get us a good lawyer, and then If we were convicted and sent over tbe road be would have plenty of money for us.” After Frank Black came out and saw us that night we expected to be arrested. Before taking tbe blankts to. McOmber Bros, store Frank wanted to take them back to Jesse Townsend's and leave them on tbe back step. Allen said “not by a d----- d sight, you are getting too chicken hearted.” I have seen Allen McOmber go behind tbe counters In Goodyear’s drag store, help blmself, go to bis store aad unload, and come back and take more stuff; I heard Burke Campbell tell Allen “be wanted to quit tbe business,” but Allen said “we are In tbe business so far, and there’s no use to quit now.” One time Allen stole a Jarge can of palnL too large to put In his pocket, and just then WIU Goodyear cami in tbe back door right close to where/Allen was; he chuck­ ed the can under bls ooat and walked out without saying a wbrd, but Mr. Goodyear apparently didn’t 'see him. Tbe silver knives, forks and spoons tbat we slo e from W. H. Goodyear's residence we sold ta McOmber Bros; the watch we pawned io Detroit for SlO. (The watch has since been found where It was pawned and will soon be in Mrs. Goodyear's possession, tbe pawnbroker charging >i& for It.) The napkins were barned, except one that was found at my house.

Many have for years vainly Bought relief from this disabling disease, and are to-day worse off than ever. Rheumatism is a blood disease, ■and Swift's Specific is the only cure, be­ cause it is the only remedy which can reach such deep-seated diseases. . A few years ago I was taken with inflamma­ tory Rheumatism, which became so intense Chat I was for weeks unable to walk. I tried seven! prominent physi­ cians and took their t reatment faithfully, but was unable to get the slight­ er relief. In fact, my con. di lion seemed to grow woroe, tbe disease spread over my entire body, and from November to March I suffered agony. I tried many patent medicines, but m>ne relieved me. Upon the advice of a friend I decided to cry 8. 8. 8. Before allowing me to take It, how­ ever, my guardian, who was a chemist, ana­ lysed the remedy, and pronounced It free of potash or mercury.

The treas­ urer of Livingston count) ambled into the office and announced nonchalantly that he waa prepared to make a pay­ ment on the state taxes apportioned to his county. The officers expected a draft or a check, but the Livingston county man stuck a hand into a pocket and brought out a bundle of one dol­ lar notes. From various places about his clothing be kept drawing packages of one-dollar, two-dollat, flve-dollar and $10 Mils. The pile kept growing until $20,000 lay stacked up on the table. The office force was simply paralyzed with astonishment, but the county treasurer got a lecture he will probably not forget in a hurry. The elty attorney a of the fourth-class cities of Michigan in reuion in Lensing appointed a committee composed of Hodsail, of Owosso; O’Hara, of 9t.

Stanley’s expedition as baa been caused by the arrival in London of a young and hitherto unknown EngHahman, Mr. Albert Bushnill Lloyd, from Central Africa, after a record journey of three months from the heart of Africa to London, traveling over Stanley’s route down tbe Congo to the west coast His journey waa in one re­ spect more remarkable than Stanley's, inasmuch as Mr. Lloyd traveled quite clone, so far as Europeans were con­ cerned, and was only accompanied by two native servants, and a small num­ ber of carriers. Moreover, although he marched three weeks in the pigmy forest and then traversed the whole length of the Aruwimi river, the banka of which are lined with warlike canni­ bals, he never once fired a shot in self­ defense. On the contrary, he was on cordial terms with both pygmies and cannibals. Of the pygmies he says: “I found not one over four feet in height. All were fully developed, the women somewhat slighter than the men. I was amazed at their sturdiness. The men have long beards, reaching half way down the chest. They are very timid and will not look a stranger in the face, their bead-like eyes constantly ahiftr ing. They are, it struck me, fairly in­ telligent. I had a long talk with a chief, who conversed iritelHgen.tly about their customs In the forest and the number of the tribesmen. Both men and women, except for a tiny strip of bark, were quite nude. The men were armed with poisoned arrows. The chief told me the tribes were no­ madic and never slept two nights in the same place. They just huddle together in hastily thrown up huts. Memories of a white traveler—Mr. Stanley, of course—who crossed the forest years ago, still linger among them.” Mr. Lloyd then proceeded through the cannibal countries to the coast. He found the cannibals warlike and fierce, but open and straightforward and had no difficulty with them. At one place he put together a bicycle he had with him tind rode around their village. A remarkable scene followed, thou­ sands of cannibals—men, women and children—rturnlng out, dancing and yelling at what they described aa “A European riding a snake."

In the quarrel Toohey was slain, and “Peg Leg” escaped across the frontier into tho United States. The character of the crime was well defined, having been witnessed by a number of persons, and the evidence waa dear that the negro had been the assailant and had pro­ voked the fight which ended fatally to the policeman. Upon this showing an indictment for murder whs found, and the necessary steps were taken by the domininon authorities to secure the de­ livery of “Peg Leg” into the hands of justice.

One of the most important of the re­ cent acquisitions of the Field Colum­ bian museum at Chicago is a large col­ lection of article* illustrative of Pueblo Indian life. It waa bought from n mUalonary, who made the collection while residing among the Moqui tribe otf the Pueblos. The funds for the purchase, amounting to U,000, were given by Stanley R. McCormick. The collection includes everything the Moquis make uae of in their present mode of life, as well aa artidea of con­ siderable antiquity, which are no long­ er manufactured. It furnishes a com­ plete illustration of the history of the tribe zince it became known to the pioneers and registers the advances that have been made towards the adop­ tion of civilized modes of Mfe. Every feature* of the domestic, political and religious economy of the tribe baa been pursued. A portion of the collection has been unpacked, and is being placed on die­ play in the Moqui room. The final dis­ position of the entire collection will be determined later. It will be kept to­ gether as far as the demands of space ists and cm gure you.

A plant at Indian Head on the Potomac is nearing completion where thhr pow­ der will be made. Of course one plant will not be enough to supply the army, but experiments will be made there, and the beat powder will be manufac­ tured, which will be the standard by which all used by the army will be measured. Besides this it is hoped to show tbe manufacturers tha-t the gov­ ernment is not helpless in this direc­ tion, and this plant will be held over their heads to force them to furnish powder at a reasonable price. If this is not done the product made at Indian. Head will be used to demonstrate to congress that*' the army can make ita own powder, and other plants will be asked for. ■ G MORTGAGE BaLK.

Catarrh is one of the most obstinate disease*, and hence the most difficult to get rid of. There is but one way to euro it. The disease is in the blood, and all the sprays, washes and inhaling mixtures in the world can have no permanent effect whatever upon it. Swift’s Spe­ cific cures Catarrh permanently, for it is the only remedy which can reach the disease and force it from the blood. Mr. B. P. McAllister, of Harrodsburg, Ky., had Catarrh for years. He writes: •‘I could eec no improvement whatever Shough 1 waa constantlytreated with sprays and washes. and differ­ ent inhaling remedies— f in fact. I could feel that / each winter I was worse Ki ' brought to my notice that Catarrh was a blood disease, and after think­ log over tbe matter, I : / W7 remedies which onlj reached the surface. I then decided to try S. 8. S., ana after a few bottle* were used. I sotlced a perceptible Improvement. Continuing tbe remedy, the disease was forced out of say system, and n complete cure was the result I advise all who have this dreadful disease to abandon their local treatment, which hasnevai tone them any good, and take 8. 8. 8., a rem­ edy that can reach the disease and cure it.” To continue the wrong treatment for Oatarrh ia to continue to suffer. Swift’s Specific is a real blood remedy, and euree obstinate, deep-seated diseases, -which other remedies have no effect whatever upon. It promptly reaches Uatarrh, and never fails to cure even the most aggravated cases. i S.S.S.%Blood ia Purely Vegetable, and is the only blood remedy guaranteed tacontain no dangerous min^-rals.

Th. govern­ ment was originally asked to make 4 fight for extermination on the ground that the plant was a pest, as clearly as the gypsy moth in Massachusetts, and that It impeded the uavigation of rivers. It now transpires tbat the farmers of Florida think the water hyacinth a pretty good cattle food, and that they are even propagating it in places where it bad not before existed. In the hot months thr cattle like to go down into tbe shallow water and eat the hyacinths floating on the sur­ face. and while not a food of high su­ periority. it constitutes a decided addl lion to tbe bill of fare of the Florida cow. ‘ This strange development in the case baa made it impossible for the de­ partment at Washington to continue a war of extermination against the plant, as bad been purposed, and efforts <re now directed toward keeping it out of tbe great paths of navigation, and letting the rest of the water surface of the state take care of itaelf. Since tbe hyacinth haa become a ’problem of navigation it haa appropriately been transferred from the department of agriculture to the engineer’s office of the war department, and under a $5,000 appropriation from congress a party of engineers has been studying the sub­ ject This problem is of general interest as showing wt\at a tremendous strength in combination harmless lit tie ornamental flowering plants come to posses*. When a large stenmer at full speed strikes a bank of hyacinths It comes almost to a standstill. A screw propeller finds it impossible to pene­ trate a very large mass of the plants, as they become so entangled about the screw as to prevent it from revolving. Faddle-wheel steamers are able to pen­ etrate masses of the plant much better, but they are frequently entirely blocked. The plants collect between the wheel and bulkheads, packing in so solidly that it ia almost impossible to reverse the engine. This makes it very difficult to approach a landing. The steamboat becomes like a train oi cars without brakes. Steamers with low-pressure engines are troubled by the injection pipes becoming clogged so that sufficient water cannot be se­ cured for tbe condensers. In parts of the river which are very wide, it some­ times happens tbat steamers are blocked between floating masses of the plant, carried out of their channel and stranded. The timber industry has also been severely crippled. Where logs were formerly rafted down the St. John's to the mills, they now have to be dragged by tbe strongest kind of tugs through these beds of water hya­ cinths, and at a very great expense. Fishing by net has. of course, had to atop. But perhaps the worst feature of ail is the effect upon bridges. In case of a flood the hyacinth banks up Against the piles of the bridge and makes of the structure a dam which holds the water back until the pressure becomes great enough to force away the obstruction, bridge and all. A new construction will have to be adopted if tbe plant te allowed to continue ita It is less than ten years ago since the flower was first introduced into the St. John's river, and that was at Edge­ water, abdut four miles above Palatka. At that place it had been grown for some time in a pond, and to clear It the plant* were thrown into the rivex. As an ornament about tbe faabionable ho­ tels H has for many years been under cultivation. When it first began to grow lb the river no one supposed that it would ever become a nuisance, and settlers up and down the stream car­ ried bunches of it to beautify the slug­ gish places. It was not until 1894 that people began to think the charms of the hyacinth had been overestimated, and tbat perhaps tbe St. John's had had enough. It then appeared much harder to stop the thing than it had been to start it For a distance of 200 mile* of the St. John’s river it is now very abundant, and on the Qcklawaha river it line* the shore for about a hun­ dred mile*, and there is no telling how far it may spread. It will not grow in brackish water or where the current is strong. The effect of frost upon the plant is not all that might bd desired. A single frost cuts it down only to tbe surface of the water, and ths great frees* in Florida a few years ago, which kilted off th* oranges, did not se­ riously disturb the hyacinth. On ths other hand. It is believed that th* re­ peated frost* of a river as far north aa the Potomac would be too much for it. Sine* the project of exterminating ths hyacinth haa been abandoned th* present achem* ia to construct a serie* of booms, made of floating logs, which will mark off such a part of th* stream as is ncosasary for navigation. Within these limits a boat spacially construct­ ed for th* purpose might ply back and forth clearing out tha weeds a* often aa they grow. The material gathered by this "hyacinth-catehar” might b* used as a fertiliser on th* tend, or fad to th* oows and hogs, or burned, and perhaps the most profitable disposition of it would depend upon the locality in which th* boat wm at work.

The fact that Buffalo has had an earlier start and has secured heavier subscriptions for her exposition planned for the same year, atlmulated the civic pride of thoss present, aud the subscription! for stock which had reached but $71,001 at the first meeting, were increased Wednesday evening to $807,900.

Harrisburg, Pa., Jan. 3G. — Andrew Carnegie haa offered to donate $100,008 for a library building- for the Stale eollege at Bellefonte, providing the state will appropriate $10,000 annually for the maintenance of the library and museum to be connected with it The trustees of the State college have ap­ pointed a committee to present a me­ morial to the legislature setting forth Mr. Carnegie's offer and urging the w eesaity for such a building. , Richard T. Sumner is just back from Cuba with a native wife. She is all the reward he got for two years’ rough work with the insurgenta, but Sumner considers himself well paid. A*he owes his life to the lady'a courage and devo­ tion, bis estimate of her is probably none too high. ‘ Sumner is the son of a cattle breeder north of Alliance, O. He is of an adven­ turous disposition, and when the light in Cuba began warming up resolved to go there aad cast his lot with the reb­ els. He Joined a filibustering party al Tampa and was soon at the center of hostilities. Welcome recruit though he was, the Cubans had no money to pay him; so all he got waa his food—and sometimes not too much of that. Shortly before the declaration of war between the United Statesand Spain he was captured by a party of Spanish guerrillas. The leader hoped to learn something from him concerning the strength and location of the Cuban force from which he had strayed, and did not immediately kill him, although of hla ultimate execution there waa no doubt. The party stopped at the plan­ tation of Roque Boaz, a native Cuban, but a Spanish sympathizer. Sumner succeeded in winning the favor of Ca­ milla Roque’s 18-year-old daughter. With her aid he managed to make his escape on one of her father's horses. He stayed with Gomez until after Torsi’s surrender; then began a search for his benefactress. By that time her father's place had been sacked by the Cubans and tbe old man and his daugh­ ter had taken refuge in Havana. Sum­ ner knew that to aak Boas for the girl’s hand would be worse than useless. Bo be persuaded her to fly from Havana and join him in Santiago. There they were married about six weeks ago. Boaz took no notice of an invitation to attend the wedding. The young couple expect to settle on a ranch which Sum­ ner's father has promised to give them aa a bridal present.

In tbe letter waa also a request for tbe remit­ tance of 831 36 for funeral expense attend­ ing the burial of deceased. Below we give a copy of the letter. Mr Williams made diligent Inquiry about tbe city lu an attempt to ascertain if anyone knew of a resident of this county by tbe name of Bettis, and was unable to find aujone acquainted with such a peroou. Anyone in the county knowing a person by the name of Evart BetUs as a resident of the county will confer a favor by in­ forming Mr. Williams. It goes without sajlng tbat tbe claim of 821.36 will not be paid without it Is shown conlcuslvely tbat the deceased was a resident of Barry Coun­ ty.

The best we have done Is 51 be­ low zero. Tbat kind of weather lasted one day aud then moderated a little (10 degrees only) and then began to storm. Storm, well I should say it did. Mercury stands at 36 on an average. Snow Is not very deep this winter, about 30 inches in tbe woods. Bald woods cover nearly all of this (Forest) county. Although It has been so much colder here. I don’t think I have suffered as much with tbe cold as you people do there, for it Is a very dry wind when there is any wind at all. . This is a very nice farming coun­ try, what is under cultivation. The work here Is mostly lumbering. This Is a very lively town here for business, there being a large lumoer mill and a barrel beading factory, which turns out 3000 set of beads per day. I think that any parties wishing to run a furniture factory would do well to look around here, for tbat Is what they need here, and would be a pajlng business, the timber being birch, elm, maple and basswood.

The president and his cabinet on Sunday decided that inas­ much as the trouble, waa the choosing of the natives, the American policy must be shaped to meet tbe emergency. The surrender of the insurgents will be demanded, and Gen. Otis and Admiral xjewey were Sunday ordered to proceed against the forces of Aguinaldo with a view of demonstrating to the in­ surgents the hopelessness of their cause. The president Is determined that the majesty of the United States shall be respected in the Philippine* whether the islands are annexed to thia country or not, and it can be stated on authority that there will be no more temporizing with the Filipinos, what­ ever may be the action on tbe treaty.

HioiooraDiiu Saeeea* 1b Ctambatla* In a recent lecture delivered at Rome Dr. Bizzozzero made a deep impression by bis summing up of the argument for vaccination. He said: "Germany stands alone in fulfilling in great measure the demands of hygi­ ene, having in consequence of the ca­ lamitous smallpox epidemic of 1870^71 enacted the law of 1S74 which 'makes .vaccination obligatory in tbe first year of life and revaccination also obliga­ tory at the tenth year.’ What waa the result? With a populaUon of 50,000,­ 000, having in 1871 lost 143,000 lives by smallpox, she found by her law of 1874 1 the mortality diminished, so rapidly I that to-day the disease numbers only 115 victims a year. These cases, more­ over, occur almost exclusively in towns on her frontier. “If it were true that a good vaccina­ tion does not protect from smallpox, we ought to find in smallpox epidemics that the disease diffuse* itself in the well-vaccinated no lesa than in the non­ vaccinated countries. But it is not so. In 1870-71, during the Franco-German war, the two peoples interpenetrated each other, the German having its civil population vaccinated optionally, but ito army completely vaccinated, while xhe French (population and army alike) Work finished promptly No experiment No cbanoea Sore ot beet wort satisfaction No pay aatU puturea an finished.

Office at HBBtlngs National Bank. JVNERAL DIRECTOR A story of a hero undone by excessive adulation is this unhappy tale of the rise and fall of Frank A. Kinne. But a brief whileagothepetand idol of sentimental women, the enemy of his fellows, today Kinne finds himself forgotten and an outcast from the service in which be was so recently a shining star. Thebe­ ginning of Kinne’s skyrocket career, as told by Lieut. Col. Huntington, of the marine corps, dates back to the break­ ing out of the war. Kinne was then a private in the First battalion of the marine corps, stationed at the Brook­ lyn navy yard. Lieut. Col. Huntington, commanding the battalion, was ordered with his men to Cuba. The battalion landed at Guan­ tanamo from the transport Panther, and took part in the several engage­ ments with the Spaniards at Camp Mc­ Calla, the first land flghtingof the war. The marines who faced the Spanish bushwhackers were brave fellows all. but none excelled in valor and fearless­ ness Private Kinne. His bravery was so marked that it attracted the attention of Lieut. Col^Huntington and Kinne was speedily advanced to the rank of ser­ geant. He was transferred to the cruiser New York, and, as he spoke Spanish fluently, he was detailed to im­ portant duties by Admiral Sampson, and acquitted himself in a creditable manner on each occasion. For his bravery and general excellence in his duties Kinne was promoted to the grade of lieutenant. \ When Admiral Cervera and his offi­ cers were sent north on the St. Paul. Lieut. Kinne was assigned to special ’duty on that ship, because of his knowl­ edge of the Spanish language. When the St. Paul reached Portsmouth, N. H., with the Spanish prisoners, Lieut. Kinne had become a great favorite with Admiral Cervera and his officers. The handsome young lieutenant be­ came u sort of popular idol with the young people of Portsmouth. He was diued and feted by the girls until the excessive praise bestowed upon him. it appears, quite turned his head. That was the beginning of the decline of the star of Lieut. Kinne. One day the manager of a theater at Portsmouth, at which was running a melodrama of which heroic Americans, unhappy Cuban beauties and hissing Spanish villains were the stellar fea­ tures, wishing to add ft little realism to the show, requested Lieut. Kinne to take part in the play with a sqaad of marines from the navy yard. Lieut. Kinne. it seems, was by that time ripe for anything in the public posing line, and he readily consented to appear in the Cuban melodrama. He asked per- | mission of Lieut. Commander Meade to appear on the stage with a squad of marines, but his request was promptly refused. Then, it is asserted, the young lieutenant openly defied his superior officer by taking a number of marines to the theater and appearing in the play. It was a great night foi^Lieut.Kinne; the girls simply went wild over him. But the next day there was trouble, and plenty of it, too.* For the one night of foolish posing Lieut. Kinne. brave and dashing, sacrificed his whole fu­ ture in the navy. He was ordered to be court-martialed, and. rather than be degraded, be resigned from the serv­ ice. After that Lieut. Kinne. hero of Guantanamo, dropped out of sight. ^Several days ago a handsome young fellow appeared at the Brooklyn navy yard and applied for enlistment in the marine corps as a private. The appli­ cant was Kinne, but a Kinne greatly humbled. In filing his application he gave an address-on the Bowery. Lieut. Col. Huntington received the fallen idol of Portsmouth coldly, but forw ard­ ed his application to Washington. The navy department denied Kinne read­ mission to the service.—N.Y. Times. Two more miserable men, it is said, cannot be found in all Europe than the sultan of Turkey, who cannot enjoy a moment'* peace because he expects to meet the same fate as his prede­ cessor; and the king of Set via, who is also haunted day and night by the fear of assassination.

Door openers have the most un­ healthy ja„, on the list of occupations. During the holiday rush all the big stores have from two to a dozen such employes. They run principally to boys. In the great office buildings men* do the work. Door openers are on their feet from seven o’clock in the morning till business closes at six in the evening, and it ia pull and push on the heavy doors all fitly long, al­ lowing persons to enter or leave the stores and buildings, without physical effort or without coming into contact with tbe cold latch bandies. The wprk is poorly paid for. The wages are lower than those given to the ordi­ nary laborer, and the men and boy* engaged in it are supposed to keep themselves neatly clad and immaculate in linen. In some places uniforms are* provided for them. .Door openers ’are frequently miss­ ing from their posts. New faces smile on the regular frequenters'or tenants of buildings, who, passing in, inquire: “Where’s John,” or “Tim?” or what- i ever the missing door opener’s name may have been. “Pneumonia” is the general an­ swer, and sufficient explanation. • For the doer opener is exposed to the coldest blasts of winter and the com­ fortable heat that comes from within.

No matter what her features, do sickly woman can be attrac­ tive. Sallow skin, sunken cheeks, pimply face, hollow eyes, lifeless lips—these are repellant And they can nearly always be traced to the one cause—womanly weakness or disease. Almost all the ills of womankind are cured if you put the feminine organism into healthy, vigorous condition. All sickness of women seems to involve these delicate organs and so no matter what the symptoms may be it is best to look there for the real trouble. All such disorders are completely and permanently cured by Dr. Pierce’s Fa­ vorite Prescription. It is designed for just this one tiling and is the only prep­ aration of the sort produced by a regu­ larly graduated physician — a skilled specialist in the diseases of women.

"In the Judgment of the commission there was lacking In the general administration of the war department during the con­ tinuance of the war with Spain that com­ plete grasp of the situation which was essonttal to tho highest efficiency and disci­ pline of the army." I S Mrtj. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, the command­ er of the army, is censured for concealing for months the charges and complaints regarding the meat. It Is stated that al­ though he claimed to know the soldiers were being fed meat which might Injure their health, he permitted the matter to pass unnoticed for months, until he waa called before the Inquiry -board. Gen. Miles Is also found to have retarded the work of the Inspector general's depart­ ment by claiming to himself the sole right to order Inspections. Dr. Daly, of Gen. Miles' Htaff. is also scored for delaying offi­ cial reports on what he claimed to have found In the beef. In its* review of the camps, the com­ mission finds that Chickamauga park.

In the face of, all this it says there have been very few complaints against this department. • The commission finds that the depart­ ment of the Inspector general. Brig. Gen. J. C. Breckinridge, was not as efficient as it should have been. There seems to have been question as to the authority by which inspections were to be ordered, and In one case the instructions of the secretary of war were Ignored. The medical department comes In for a share of reproval, for lack of supplies and shortage of nurses. Suggestions are made of precautionary measures to avoid such eondltfons in the future.

Mich., Feb.8.—Last week wa's a stirring one at the University of Miufiigan. On Monday evening Prof. Taussig, of Harvard university, spoke before the Good Government club on a phase of taxation. He opposed the taxation of securities and advocated as a substi­ tute the federal taxation of incomes. The following evening Eugene V. Debs appeared before the same organi­ zation and spoke to a crowded hall. He took up the subject: "The Labor­ ing Man’s Interest in Good Govern­ ment.” His main thought was that al­ though we enjoy a free political gov­ ernment we are oppressed by a despotic industrial governmept. aud that as economic conditions control ail others in order to free ourselves we must cor­ rect these troubles. On Friday evening occurred un en­ tertainment in the Choral Union ritusicul course. The week’s series of vis­ its from distinguished men closed Sat­ urday evening with an oration from Hon. W. Rourke Cockran on "Militar­ ism and Wages.” It wks a discussion of the subject of expansion. Among others that visited the uni­ versity during the week were Prof. George Coe, of Northwestern univer­ sity. who addressed the Philosophical society, and Prof. Robert L. Fulton, of Ohio state university, who addressed the Oratorical association. Examinations for the first half of the collegiate year tire now in full force. Students of ail departments and classes are grinding away day and night in the hopes of mastering a few more facts, fixing this or that principle in their head, or are busy getting their labora­ tory work closed up before the hour of trial. Regular recitations have ceased and everything points towards tbe “ex­ ams.” The students who are success­ ful in tbe examinations will be “passed," ‘those who do not do quite as well will be “conditioned," and'those whose knowledge of the particular sub­ ject on which they are being examined is a minus quantity will be "plucked."" Mr. and Mrs. Stuart E. Perry, of Pon­ tiac. the former an attorney, the latter a magazine writer of distinction, and both graduates of the University of Michigan, left for New York en route to Europe. They will spend six months on the continent and in tbe British Isles, and nearly all of their traveling will be done on wheels, which they will take with them.

The students in the literary depart­ ment have a week in which to decide what studies they will pursue. During this week they will spend no little time "sampling" courses to see if the work is such as they desire. But with the commencement of the second week of the semester, as the half year is ceiled, work in real earnest will begin and it will be one steady pull to the end of the year in June. R. H.

Michael Finn, of Hancock, is the holder of a record which cannot prob­ ably be equaled by anyone else in the state. He has been township clerk, vil­ lage clerk nnd justice of the peace con­ tinuously for 33 years. Of late years his reelection to these offices has been looked upon as a matter of course, and such a thing as opposition to him on election day is not thought of.

Labor Commissioner Cox in bis an­ nual report will include a chapter on negroes in tbe state of Michigan, pre­ pared by A. A. Owens and Harvey C. Jackson, two very intelligent citizens of Afro-Ainerican origin. The article is the first ever contained in a stale re­ port on this subject, and is of consider­ able interest. The negro population of the state, as shown by the (census of 1894, was 16.240, being little less than three-fourths of one per cent, of the total population. In 1870 tbe negro population was one per cent, of the to­ tal population, but there has since been a continual decrease in the percent. It is shown that a large portion of the negroes are engaged in agriculture, and in Calvin township, Cass county, th^re are 847 negroes, nearly all of whom are owners of farms. Doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, dentists and other professional men are to be found among the negroes of the state. Modern Science Recognizes The Rush tor Gold.

March 17th, 1882, being tbe eldest of a family of five children. When only four years old be came, to M chigan with bls parents who joined tbe great movement at that time towards Michigan, which was then almost an unbroken wilderness, foreseeing tbe advantages that tbe territory then offered for one of moderate means to locate.

WAGNER. Cock-Flchtln* In Porto Bleo. A Descrip­ tion of the People and Resource*. of the laland. Ponce, Porto Rico, Jan. 21,1899. Editor Banner: Many times 1 have been asksd to send a description of tbe island. Its people, and Its climate. I will try and write you a truthful description as seen by myself, though tbe questions asked of me have doubtless been covered many times by those better qualified to give an inter­ esting description. It Is a well known fact that many accounts have been sent out for truth, which have been far from such. Tbe first then, Is the island. It has an area of 8.550 square miles covered by a population of about 900,000 Porto Ricans and Spaniards. Tbe population per square mile averages about 230, which makes It crowded. Tbe chief advantages of the Island will be reaped In* the future when It will certainly be a great winter resort and a Mecca for people In ill-health. Tbe tropical vegetation, tbe healthy cli­ mate, especially in the winter time, the well bnilt roads leading across the island to the principal*cities are very Interesting and seem to help In restoring health. The fine plantations are unique to all new comers and seem to hold out silent induce­ ments, or temptations to visitors to **stay a little longer.” There are opportunities here but It re­ quires a cool, clear head to take advantage of them when offered. Land is very ex­ pensive In Porto Rico on account of the large population and It is becoming more expensive every day. Tbe best land is found around the island between the mountains and tbe sea. which seems to be more suitable and better adapted Tor rais Ing sugar than auy other product, and is worth 8150 a cucrda. A cuerdt is a piece of land equal to 69 square yards. Secondclass lands are located In the Interior, and are worth 8150 a cuerda it they are planted the states. They have acme tae eattln here, bat toe meet wbieh we have been eating antll a week ago, is very tough, an< tastes entirely different from toe beef that we are getting from Swift's Paektoc House tn toe Halted States. Tbe people here all smoke either eiflaxa or cigarettes, women and children as wei> as tbe men. It seems strange to go down od the Main street and see the women smoking big, black eigars, and little “■»dressed kids” smoking native eigarotta which would cause toe stomach of a strong and healthy American to be turned upsidedown If be.should smoke them*. This may seem strange but tt te tros^ The only clothes worn by cbHdrera under 10 years of age Is a hat, and mere, often that Is dispensed with. Theirmothers, sisters and brothers are ateo very immodest, but I suppose it is the. way they have been brought up. Tbe principal produets of tbe Island are sugar cane, coffee, tobacco and fruits, of which there is an abundance, fine oranges and bananas being only five cento a dozen. All other fruits are of < correspondingly low price, except “hen fruit,” which are worth from 40 to 8G> cento a dozen, and are aoaree at that. Tbe Porte Rico mail we had seems ta have died a natural death, and been buried with due honors according to hwrK However, a new one starts In a few dayjh, which baa a firmer foundation and amca. capital to tide it over toe rough wavea, of critictom and unfavorable comment I expert to soon take a trip over to the other side of tbe island, and will write. you upon my return.

There are also other | things in connection with tbe city of with coffee trees. If not so planted the land is worth from 815 to 830 per cuerda. This Is not a new country by any means, as Americans well know, but it is an old one, where everything has been done ex­ cept probably the opening up of tbe min­ eral belt, which extends all around the Is­ land. Labor is very cheap.

Tbe funeral was held from his late home Sun­ day morning at 11 o’clock, tbe services be­ ing conducted by Rev. Woodin, pastor of Baptist church of this city of which tbe deceased was a member.

Tbe natives are somewnat ignorant but are very quick to learn and sometime will probably be a credit to the island for in­ telligence when given tbe advantage of education. At the present time they are Inclined to be quarrelsome, especially when they have a little rum, their favorite beverage, in them. They do most of their fighting among themselves, having due re­ gard for tbe American soldiers, which a little experience has taught them. Tbelr favorite weapon In a fight is a long knife, which tbey use with deadly effect. There was a dance in a low, tumble down shack about two weeks before Christmas. We were cn guard at tbe city jail to prevent tbe soldiers from the 1st Kentucky Volun­ teers from breaking in to lynch a native policeman, who shot one of their com­ rades. As everything passed off quietly and it was getting along towards' morning, we expected nothing unusual Bnt soon we noticed some natives carrying a native on a stretcher to the operating room In the jalL He bad been stabbed in tbe stomach. He was laid on the table and a doctor sum­ moned, when five more were brought in, ail of them more or leas cut up. Wa watched the doctor dress tbe wounds. He used a small probing Instrument, and a common needle and thread to sew up the cute. One of the men died later on. Tbe natives are great people to gamble, but their favorite and most popular sport is oock-fighting, upon which tbey bet hundreds of dollars, and grow very ex­ Ponce that might prove Interesting to your readers and 1 will write of them later on.

Feb. 17.—President William McKinley arrived in Boston yesterday to be the guest of the Home Market club at a buqquet lu his honor at Me­ chanic’s hall. Messrs. Long, Alger. Bliss, flage and Smith, of his cabinet, accompanied him, together with Con­ gressman Grosvenor, of Ohio. The ar­ rival of the presidential train at ten o’clock was the occasion of a great out­ burst of enthusiasm from the thou­ sands of citizens who lined the streets on the line of the procession from the station to the hotel. At the banquet in the evening at Mechanic's hall the president spoke as follows: "Mr. Toastmaster and Gentlemen: The ----years go quickly.

Much has happened to the Intervening time, issues which were then engaging as have been settled or put aside for larger and more absorbing ones. Domestic condi­ tions have Improved, and are generally sat­ isfactory. We have made progress to in­ dustry, and have realized the prosperity for which we have been striving. We have had four long years of adversity, which taught us some lessons which will never be unlearned, and which will be valuable In guiding our future action. We have not only been successful in our financial and business affairs, but have been successful In a war with a foreign power, which added great glory to American arms and a new chapter to American history. •'I do not know why in the year 1899 this republic has placed before It mighty prob­ lem* which II must face and meet. They have come and are here, and they could not be kept away. Many who were impatient for the conflict a year ago. apparently heedless of its larger results, were the first to cry out against the far-reaching conseSuencea of their own act. Those of us who readed war most, and whose every effort was directed to prevent It, had fears of new and grave problems which might fol­ low its Inauguration. The evolution of events, which no man could control, has brought these problems upon us. Certain it 1s that they have not come through any fault on our own part, but as a high obliga­ tion. and we meet them with clear con­ science and unselfish purpose, and with good heart resolve to undertake their solu­ tion *CUE “War was declared in April. 1896. with practical unanimity by the congress and, once upon us. was sustained by like unan­ $13.00 imity among the people.

Tbe entertainment given at the opera house:last Friday evening by Mrs. Bessie George Webb and ber pupils was one of tbe best ever given In dur vintage and was enjoyed by a large crowd. Each number on the program was rendered in an excel­ lent manner and was beartiy encored, especially tbe singing of Mra. Smith of Rockford. Mrs. Smith possesses a fine voice and rendered ber selections In a very pleasing manner. ' Tbe manner In which Mra. Webb’s rendered their selections is certainly a credit to her.

An OI* Caajarer’s Triek That la Jh Martin. Mid,. To hold down to a lecture platform light-iron object by means of an elec­ tro-magnet underneath, out of sight,. and thus appear to multiply its weight many times over at will—to make it impossible even to lift the object in question, providing the magnet be pow­ erful enough—is an old conjurer’s trick which has served on many occasions to mystify the public, says Caaaier’s Maga­ zine. Its principle, however, has been ap­ plied to several more useful purposes, and one of these, of recent date, is em­ bodied in a magnetic chuck for mis­ cellaneous work, for surface grinding, principally, but adapted, also for the planer or the lathe. The magnetic effect in this chuck is produced by an electro current circulat­ ing in a coil in the interior of the de­ vice, and, as thia coil is wound, pref­ erably, for 110 volts, the needed cur­ rent can be taken from any regular electric lighting main in or about a shop. The convenience of the device, especially for small work, ia obvious A magnetic bolder for au electric incandescent lamp is another electric shop convenience. The holder ia sim­ ply a lamp socket containing a small electric magnet, which will make tbe whole contrivance stick to any piece erf iron .or steel with which it may be brought in contact. The coil through which tbe magnet ta energized is within the base of the holder, and the lamp current supply­ ing the energy passes through it on its way to the lamp. scare at the foliowilt “ ‘ : Yorker* THE PLATFORM WOMAN.

Saturday tbe straggling remains of tbe democratic-peoples-- union silver - fusion party met in convention in this city for the purpose of nominating a County School Commissioner, and eiectlng.il delegates to tbe State convention to be held tn Kalama­ zoo, and the same number of delegates to tbe Judicial convention to be held la tbe city of Charlotte. A fusion convention doesn’t amount to much unless there can be a scrap of some kind, and In this re­ spect Saturday’s convention was amusing. As in past conventions it was very evi­ dent that there was a purpose to leave tbe Jonrnal out in tbe cold, both In the organ­ ization of the convention, and later In the election of delegates to the conventions, but John slipped In. on the latter deal, while the air around tbe ‘‘Boss’* Immedi­ ately assumed a sulphurous hue. The convention was organized by elect­ ing Thos. Sullivan as Chairman, and H. H. Snyder as Secretary. The routine work of tbe morning was completed by tbe appointment of the usual committees, on which Hicks, Walker A Co. were quite conspicuous, and tbe convention adjourned tin 1:30. It was nearly 3 o'clock before the con­ vention met in the afternoon, and tbe first committee to report was that of Perma­ nent Organization and Order of Business, through its Chairman, the “Boas” himself. Next came tbe report of tbe Credentials Committee, and it was ascertained that tbe townships of Rutland, Maple Grove, Johnstown. Oraugeville, and one or two others, besides the first ward of the city were not represented in tbe convention, all of which goes to show that the present prosperous conditions have their effects even upon populist conventions, and bat his name.

Tbe announced tbe candidacy of Miss Min­ ute Kepiogle, of this city, calling at­ tention to the fact that the only sucocm the fusion party ever bad In this county with School Commissioner, was with a lady candidate. The ballot was taken, and It was found that Dorr Stowell, of Woodland, and Miss Replogle each had about 35 votes, while Mr. Webb bad something over 50.

In tbe opinion of many naval offiodrs it looks as If a plan has at last been found to protect ships’ bottoms without having recourse to tbe sheathing method now in vogue In the English navy. The cost of applying copper to the hull by tbe electrical process Is said to be about three dollars per square foot. The cost of sheathing Is estimated, in round num­ bers, at fire dollars per square foot.

Every mill is overcrowded with orders. Chicago, Feb. 25.—In a speech belore Havana, Feb. 25,-Gen. Maximo Go­ mez, the Cuban commander in chief, en­ tered Havana Friday afternoon, escort­ ed by G«u Ludlow and his rtaff and troop L, of the Seventh United State* cavalry.

He further defended the canned roast beef, explaining why it had been sent to the troops, and when Col. Davis, the recorder, asked him if any food had been used as an experiment, or pre­ tense of experiment, suggesting Gen. Miles' famous allegation that precipi­ tated the Eagan court-martial, the former commissary general with great dignity and emphasis replied sweepingly in the negative. HOT A POLITICIAN.

In order to make sure of success, the Incendiaries planned to start the con­ flagrations in three different quarters of the city, believing that the flames would soon get beyond control, and that they would then have a chance to kill the foreigners here and pillage their property. Santa Cruz. San Nicolas and Tondo were the quarters selected for the starting of the fires. Those who were chosen to apply the torch did their work only too well. In a short time after the fires were dis­ covered the flamer had •iprvad to such an extent that tbe destruction of the city was threatened. The troops and foreign residents worked manfully to check the fire*, but it wa* not until this morning that the flames were under control and the city out of danger. Dprtoiaa • Fallare. The native rising which was planned to accompany the fire proved a fail­ ure. Many of the rebels were detected and arrested. There wa* considerable firing upon the troops from native houses. All such houses were raided and the inmates imprisoned. The first fire wa* in the Santa Crux district, and after an interval of quirt fires broke out Id the other native quarters named. During the confusion attendant upon the work of fight tng the Are armed rebel sympathizer* concealed in bouses in the vicinity of the burning quarter* fired upon the troops. In the Tondo quarter seven members of the Minne­ sota regiment were wounded. Including Capt. N. C. Robinson, of company C. It is estimated that tbe loss will be very heavy. About 1,000 native house* and several hundred native shops were burned. The fire, originating in the Binrthdo quarter, threatened at one time to reach the wharves, but was checked. The property of European residents generally escaped. Manila. Feb.

Manila, Feb 24—With daylight Thursday morning the enemy com­ menced worrying tactics at various parts of the American line, apparently for the purpose of withdrawing atten­ tion from affairs inside the city. An attempt was made to rush through our extreme left, near Calooean, but it was promptly checked by a hot and effec­ tive musketry and artillery fire. The American* killed a large number of- their antagonists and scattered the remainder. Two of our men were kilted and several wounded. The killed are Oscar Felton, private, company C, First Dakota, and Lieut. Eugene S. French, company L, First Montana.

Formal po*ses■ion of the city was taken by the gun­ boat Petrel, which wa* recently aent from this station for the purpose. No opposition was offered by the natives to the American move.

The firemen having the one in charge at Gruenewald, a suburb of Berlin, re­ cently covered a mile, made the hydrant attachment, and were at work in something less than five minutes. The bicycle engine carries a lot of tools and implements, stowed, snugly away, and each held securely in place. The weight of the bicycle itself and all it carries, is 377 pounds, and the price of the entire outfit is 900 marks, or about 2275. ■ In other particular* of fire equip­ ment, also, the Germans are ahead of us. In Berlin the firemen wear water­ jackets, with a double skin, which they, are able to fill with water from’ the hose. If the space between the layers becomes overfilled, the water escapes through a valve at the top of the hel­ met and flows down over the fireman Hke a cascade, thus doubly protecting him.

It is reported in London that the colonial office ha& completed a plan for the relief of the British possessions in the West Indie*, the details of which will shortly be made public. It is said that the rehabilitation of the sugar industry of the islands ha* not been left entirely in the hands of Sir Thomas J. Lipton, although Mr. Chamberlain has accepted the general scheme pro­ posed by that well-known merchant and financier. There are four groups of financier* who will work at the sub­ ject along distinct and separate lines One of these group* is directly under the control of Mr. Chamberlain and wiU confine it* efforts solely to Jamaica. Two other groups will confine their work to Barbados and St. Vincent, while St. Lucia, it is said, will be con­ fined to the special care of Sir Thomas J. Lipton. Sir Thoma* will also have general charge of refining the sugar and selecting market* for it. It 1* re­ ported in tbe colonial office that as soon a* tbe plan* are made known the gen­ eral public will be allowed to join two or more groups, which will become stock companes. It is expected thaVthe foresight and business capacities of Mr. Chamberlain, combined with govern­ ment guarantees, will insure a hearty response and a financially successful is­ sue for all concerned. The combined capitals of these several undertaking* will not. it is anticipated, exceed £1.­ 000,000 in all. MICA FOR~SAFETY LAMP. Deic< Tried la Sever* ■a** Collieries. To speak of a color blind artixt sound* like joking, said a London 00culist, but, strange aa it may seem, there are several persons so affected who can nevertheless paint extremely well. Numbers of color-blind people there are, of course, who draw perfect­ ly in pencil, ink and crayons, but I my­ self know a scene painter attached to a provincial theater who, though ‘‘color blind,” paints all its scenery, and has quite a local name, not only for his “interiors” and oak chambers, but even for landscapes. I can tell you also of two London ladies who have consulted me for color blindness, who paint real­ ly beautiful pictures. One is the daugh­ ter of a late famous artist, and yja* taught painting by her father. She ia quite unable to distinguish red from green, but her colors are labeled with the names, and she has been taught which to use for certain effects. Pos­ sibly her painting may se^m to her eyes, as it were, drawing with a brush and “shading” with the colors. The other is a lady artist of some celebrity who has for-years exhibited annually in London. The public are not aware that she is color blind. She painted “The Wedding. Group” for a certain noble bridegroom a year or two ago, and also several public men’s portraits, and one of an eminent physician fetched 500 guineas. There is a gentle­ man residing at Kensington who, hav­ ing years ago left the navy through finding his advancement hopelesaly barred by his coloi blindness, is at pres­ ent making several hundred a year by his brush as an artist, designing most artistic and brightly colored picture “posters" for advertisement boards. GLAMOUR OF THE STAGE. An arrangement made by Herr Max Raphael, of Breslau, Silesia, is now be* ing tried experimentally in several Ger­ man collieries as a substitute for the gloss cylinder of safety lamps. The cylinder is constituted by two tin plates of mica united, and also kept in place at the top and bottom by being inserted in two brass rings, the section of which resembles'that of a channel iron, the edges of the two channel rings being turned) toward one another. As the mica plate* are perfectly fitted to the rings, air tightness is insured, and an additional safeguard may be afforded by bedding the edges of the plates in red lead cement. This double mica cyl­ inder is inserted in the lamp cage just like an ordinary glass cylinder. The principal advantage claimed- for thia arrangement—lightness—specially des­ ignate* it for use in officials’ and under? ground surveyors’ lamps, which are now largely made of aluminium, with DIRECTORS: Dm.

The dogs have had the dread disease for some time, and have communicated it to the coyotes, which, in turn, have bitten ponies and steers until they, too, suffer with it, says the Denver Times. Thia news was brought to Denver by Jim Brady from his ranch on the White river, not far from Rangeley, and he says the malady has already attacked much of the stock. Several cows have died, and others will not live over a few days. According to Brady, all the symp­ toms of rabies are present-frothing at the mouth, glassy eyes and aversion to food and drink, especially the latter. Several cows have become so crazed as to jeopard the lives of the cowboys, and a revolver or rifle crusade has been inaugurated against .all animals whose actions betray the presence of the germs. Brady, who is a frontiersman of wide experience, says that in all hi* life on the range* he never encountered such a state of affairs, and thinks that un­ less a sharp fight against the coyotes, dogs and infected cattle and horses is waged, it may spread) to human beings.

Wrapping a piece of carpet about the lamp, which had Ln justice to the Women’s Club will you give the following article a place In this week’s week’s issue of your paper? There seems to have arisen in the minds of som4 people a gross miscon­ ception of the motives which prompted the Hastings Women’s Club to take the Initiatory steps in the matter of reducing the number of the members of the School Board of ibis city. For several years past frequent complaints have been made both by members and ex-members of the Board, by leading representative men, and by thoughtful, intelligent women, having in mind the best interests of our public schools, that our system was faulty—that the Board was too large and unwieldy—no business could be transact­ ed with less than seven members present; ' that it was easier to procure five capable, efficient men to act in that capacity than twelve. All of this is corroborated by the experience and testimony of many cities, who having tried both systems, dedare unanimously In favor of the smaller number. At a regular session of the Club, a resolution was introduced which received the unanimous support of its members, that this organization wewed a proper one to take the initiative in this work, and committees were ap­ pointed accordingly. Upon consultation with several men, whose opinions were regarded as desirable, it was thought ad­ visable to make the first dlort toward know that Dr. EL B. Gammon, a graduate of the Literary and Medical departments of the State University, has located in this city, and has secured offices in the Has tings City Bank bnllding, in the office formerly occupied by C. R. Blabop. The doctor comes highly recommended, both as a talented young man and a skillful phy­ sician. During the past year he has bad an experience accorded to but few men. He was in the Spanish war and all through the Cuban campaign, being on Dr. Nancrede’s staff of physicians and caring for the sick and wounded soldiers in the fight around Santiago, and later on having charge of one of the Hospitals at Siboney. While tn the discharge of his duties he was stricken with yellow fever, typhoid Carer, malaria and all of the other pot dis­ eases common to that climate, from the effects of which he has only recently' re.^Daring bis illness he was re­ duced 65 pounds to weight, and came home only a skeleton of his former seif. After looking over several cities with a view of finding a suitable location, he ee­ lected Hastings ana we believe that he will have no occasion to regret bls choice. If these measures do not receive the support of a majority of an intelligent public, the Club has not the least desire or purpose to be aggressive in the matter, and this is written not by way of apology, as the Club has do apology to offer, but a few plain words of explanation. It would seem, however, that a Club <** tent of tbs representative women of the city, many of whom are the mothers of the sons and daughters dow being educated in our public schools, would have an unqualified right to engage in any honorable, laudable purpose, recom­ mended by precedent and experience, without bitter criticism or keener insinua­ tion. The Club, In this measure, has been Instigated by no individual or fac­ tion, has no personal or political ends to gain; simply an honest effort in the best interests of our Public Schools, and if, The editor deslree to express his person­ al thanks to his brethren of the press through the state for the many kind ex­ pressions they have given concerning his acquisition to the postoffice.

All THE APPROPRIATION BILLS PASSED. Washington, March 6.—The Fifty­ fifth national congress was adjourned at noon Saturday after a session which marks a memorable epoch in American history. All of the large appropria­ tion measures, over which a battle royal had been waged during the clos­ ing days of legislation, were passed, compromise on the more important features having been effected during the all-night vigil of the members of both houses. The senate was adjourned at 12:08 o’clock, the house at 12:10. There was no demonstration what­ ever in the senate. There was general handshaking among the senators and many expressions of regret were heard that many members whose terms ex­ pired were not to be here when the sen­ ate met again. The closing scene* were of more than usual interest. After all the bills had been passed there followed the usual resolutions. That offered by Mr. Bai­ ley, thanking Speaker Reed, and the remarks of the minority leader were of a character to lend a dramatic turn to the proceedings. The action of the house and the speaker’s reply aroused the house and spectators to enthusi­ asm. After adjournment members and visitors joined in singing patriotic airs. Washington, March 6.—The presi­ dent expresses himself as well pleased in general with the outcome of the session of congress just closed. He takes a hopeful view of conditions, be­ lieving that the failure of congress to meet the requirements in several in­ stances will not operate to embarrass the government seriously.

[Special Correspondence.] Ann Arbor, Mich., March 1.—The bookroom of the general library of the University ef Michigan is a big three•toxy flre-pnoof vault. It occupies all but the top Boor of the long box-car shaped structure that, tail-like, pro­ jects from the main, portion of the bbrary building. Thia department is entered through steel doors, which, when closed and locked, shut it off from all other por­ tion* of the building. The floors are of cement, save between the stories, where they are largely glass, to permit of a better diffusion of light. Iron stairways at either end of the rompsrtment connect the several floors. Raeka and Shelve*. On each floor there are two sections of iron racks for holding the book shelves. These racks, of which there are nine in each section, are arranged very much M pews in a church. Them is an aisle down the center, and one at either side. Each rack has two faces, however, and reaches from floor tocrilfag. As each face ia divided into five sub-faces, and each of these contains seven shelves, there are 630 shelves in each section, 1,260 on each floor, and It is probable that Eaton county the necessary number of voters have pe­ titioned for an election.

But this is not all. Besides the shelves in the racks, there are many cases fastened to the sides of the walls, between the windows, under the stairs and in other convenient places, so that the grand total of shelves is fully 4,000. Taking big books and little, the aver­ age number that will go on a shelf is 30. Multiplying this number by'4.000. the number of shelves, we have 120,000 as the number of volumes the book room will hold. tion in English literature. The Geu* xnan-American Goethe library com­ prises 948 volumes. The Fdch histori­ cal library, besides containing 2,500dnplicates, numbers 1,368 volumes. This collection is particularly valuable be­ cause it, to a Urge extent, deals with American history, and thus furnishes facilities for advanced study of that subject. Another collection is theMorris philosophical library, which is con­ stantly used by the students pursuing work in philosophy. In this compartment are shelved the general library, the medical library, and tile library of the homeopathic medical department. The first consists of 98,222 volumes,'16.952 pamphlets, and As the library is constantly growing, about 7,000 volumes being added each year, preparations are being made for more shelf room. An addition to tire bookroom which will double its pres­ ent capacity, is being pushed towards completion. In this new part will be stored the more valuable volumes and those less frequently celled for. Here will also be placed the 1,200 maps. Li­ brarian R. C..Davis, in referring to the maps recently, said: “Our collection has grown to quite re­ spectable proportions to tbe lart few years. These are the maps of the coast and lake surveys, of the land office, maps otf spe­ cial surveys of the government, and mil­ itary maps. These are in frequent demand for Illustrating the political changes that have taken place In modern history, and the progress of geographical discovery.

But it is certain that afterward, both with the Hudson Bay company and its great Canadian rival the names of factors, traders and prom­ inent partisans, with scarcely an excep­ tion, were Scottish. The story of trade and discovery in the northwest reads like a muster roll of the clans, and main­ ly of the northern clans of the second order.

If you ask him for liquor he will say he has none. But 11, you tell him you want sherry he will hand over the liquor bottle, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. “Sherry" is the passwoA, and is known to everyone who has occasion to visit the house bar. Beer in bottlesb dispensed to the thirsty on both aides of tbe capitol, but on the senate side it is not possible to get “sherry." The result is that tbe bouse bar does a hand­ some business. The government furnishes every-: thing in the senate restaurant save the eatables, the silverware and linen. Ice, coal, fuel and illuminating gas are paid for out ofthe government funds. For the house' restaurant, however, the lessee buys ice and fuel. The charges in the senate restaurant are nothing short of exorbitant, while more moderate prices prevail in the' house. The more select crowd of repre-1 sentatives, however, usually adjourn to the senate restaurant at lunch hour, preferring to pay a little more for the privilege of being in the company of tbe grave and reverend senators.

At the ’ast bicycle show, reports a wheel paper, this fallacy wan taken advantage of by the shrewd sales­ men of several manufacturers who. rec­ ognizing the effect this balancing had on some of their customers, adjustted the wheels shown by them accordingly. Now, as a matter of fact, this balancing has nothing at all to do wjth tbe run­ ning qualities of the wheel. , It means nothing. It is the way a wheel runs when under a load that shows itsqualltiea. and experienced dealers and riders have long appreciated this fact. J^ast summer there was a coasting conteb*. near New York, and among the con­ testants were two men of exactly the same weight. One rode a wheel which would oscillate for four minutes when it was free of the floor, and the other bicycle, no matter how hard it was siprung, would come to a standstill in half that time. In the contest the lat­ ter virtually ran away from Us oppo nent. A perfectly adj tutted whe^with out a tire or valve hole does not oscil­ late at all. Place a tire on the same wheel and it will awing backward and forward for some time. The gyroscope top, which is so perfectly balanced that it will spin at any angle, dots not oscillate after it has expended itsforee. If a small shot be soldered on the edge of the rim of the same top it will wing until that part of the top is at the bot­ tom, but at the same time will not spin long. Paste graphite as a lubricant for chain or chainless gear may affect the oscillating power of a wheel, but when you are on the wheel it will run away from anything else. / ”<>*t rCTn*rk‘b‘e lectures, of the picture.- .

The fact is, however, that this im­ portant addition to the railroad facili­ ties of South Amerioa is .not yet com­ pleted and is not likely to be for some years to come. According to Mr. E. A. Fits Gerald, the explorer of Mount Aconcagua, the road has been advanced on the Chilian side of the Andes up to the mountains and some way into them on the Argentine side, but in March last there were still 44 miles of the most difficult part of the road to build and further progress will necessarily be very slow. At that time the road had been com­ pleted up to Punta de las Vacas, in the mountains on the Argentine side, and to Salto del Soldado on the Chilian aide. The part yet to be built includes a tun­ nel under the Cumbre pass, the summit of which is 12,795 feet above the sea. The roa£ through the mountains is 31-3 foot gauge/ with rack and pinion for the steeper grades. Even greater diffi­ culties are involved than had to be over­ come in building the lines into the Peruvian mountains.

He was a big, loosely-built man, a_typical Yorkshireman in length of bone, hard-headedness and grim hu­ mor.

In February, 1892. a merchant arrived at an inn there and took a room for the night. In the morning he was found dead in bed and had every appearance of having died a natural death. The "boots.” Ivan Pscha-tka. and a servant, however, both swore that they had seen the innkeeper. Oazek. strangle the merchant, take money from his pockets and bury it near a certain tre^ in the garden. Their evidence was con­ firmed by the discovery of 50 ruble* buried at the spot mentioned by them. Tbe Judge held that Cazek’s guilt was now conclusively proved and vemtenced him to death. Oazek was shortly after­ ward hanged in spite of his protesta­ tions of innocence. Ivan Pschatka married tbe servant and Cazek was almost forgotten, when Pschatka and his wife recently quar­ reled and made accusations againrt each other, which led to Investigations being imide. It hasnow transpired that Oazek was in tbe habit of hiding his own saving* near the tree in the gar­ den. Pschatka and the servant dis­ covered the hiding place and stole all the money except 50 rubles. They were, however, terribly afraid of being detected, and when the mer­ chant happened to die in the inn just at the opportune moment for them they concocted the dtory of murder and caused the innocent Cuzek to be found guilty of murder and hanged. The two unscrupulous perjurer* are now await­ ing trial for their awful crime. • •N FtaD.LAr. *■ “ irjZ^andBaplds............... T » 3 3*1 i" oil........ 7 00 and novel interest.

She waa occupying the exalted position of sponsor for a little girl baby and. never having served in such a proud capacity before, she was slightly nerv­ ous and perplexed, reports the ffhicago Chronicle. "What is your name?" demanded the clergyman performing the cere­ mony. “Mary, sir,” she replied at once, and "Mary” waa accordingly written in a tiny book and the minister passed on to the next applicant for baptism. The worried sponsor listened eagerly to what was demanded of her next neighbor, and to her horror she found that the question was not at all in­ tended to learn the name of the sponsor, but was solely concerned with the name to be bestowed upon the infant. The agitated godmother hurriedly ap­ proached ths clergyman. Interrupting the ceremony to exclaim: at all. It’s mine. I thought you want­ ed mine. Tbe baby’s name is Rebecca Elizabeth.” And amid the irrepressible laughter of all assembled the baby waa rechris­ tened Rebecca Elizabeth. “I should never have dared to face its mother,” the sponsor said later, "but I think the baby would have for­ give* the mistake and blessed me for tor 384 yean the rulers of Dsn mark lave been alternately a Frederick and * Christian.

His private secre­ tary, the clerks, doorkeepers, mesaeu* gers and steward and three other serv­ ants cost us $33,865 a year. Then there is a coiitingenU'fund of $8,000 a year which the president may use according to his discretion.

A story of Lord Rueeel 1 of Killowen, aa told by himaelf the other day. shows how risky a thing it may be, after all, for a prisoner to speak in his own defense. One such, who seemed to be really making out his innocence, the lord chief jtastioe, who had missed a mumbled word, interrupted with the question: "What did you pay? what was . your last sentence?” ‘Three months, my lord," said the crestfallen prisoner-pleader. It ia hardly neces­ sary to add that the lord chief justice forgot his admission, or remembered it only in the prisoner’s favor, when that particular sentence had to be The German army dogs are so trained that when they find a dead body they set up a prolonged howling.

Only a painstaking, plodding German Investigator would go to the trouble of trying to find out by statistics on what day of the week most accidebte occur .and at what hour of the day. This is what has been done by Dr. Wolff, ot Strasburg. He bases his conclusions on 1,<H1 eases of accidents among the working elasses. It thueappear* that Monday is not les* unlucky than Friday when it comes to accidents, and for this fact he accounts by tbe statement that the drinking shop* are most frequented by workmen in Germany on the days pre- j vious, viz., Saturdays. Sunday* and Thursdays Fewer accidents happen on Tuesday than on any other day of the week, be­ cause on no day are drinking houses sc empty aa on Monday. He has also discovered the remak­ able fact that tbe hours after breakfast, dinner and the afternoon rest, are sig­ nalized by most accidents. He attributes thia to the lassitude caused by the work of digestion, and to tbe use made by men of intoxicant* during meal time*. He also establishes the fact that in factories where the meal hour* are greatly curtailed there is an excess of accident* over the * factories ' ‘ ‘ * where the liberally treated in this Regardless of Age.

Nichols of Eaton, secretary. Tbe following committees * were ap­ rltt Hamilton, of Battle Creek, and L. E. Stewart of this city. As no other names were presented it was moved that the Sec­ retary cast the vote of the conventton for Judge Smith and the motion was carried with a whoop. Concerninc Marriage. The series of sermons by Fr. Baart, tbe Catholic prleet at Marshall on “Marriage” are attracting much local attention. In his last sermon among other things be said: “Sometimes young men are the con­ stant company of young women for years without proposing matrimony. This is neither just nor fair to the woman. Par­ ents should insist on a declaration or a quittance. Long engagements as well as courtships are trying to the parties and also their friends. Bnt triflers are not al­ ways men—women may also be at fault “It happens, too, that parents some­ times dlejonrage the sOn or daughter from marrying because they wish their assist­ ance. This is neither right nor just. People should marry young as they need to do; not loo young, but between 20 and 25 years. Then they ean easier become adapted to each other’s character. “But one chief reason why people do not marry is that they know each other too almost every boy’s eyes. This is tbe well and become tired of each other.

AMOUICES TIE TOTAL APPROPRIATIONS >**t m «i3a*3eo,oio aad Coat *4MO,OGa,OH>—Dl- Washington. March 11. — Availing himself of the privilege accorded by the house of representatives previous to adjournment, Chairman Cannon, of the committee on appropriations, has pre­ pared for the Congressional Record a more extended statement of the ap­ propriations made by the Fifty-fifth congress than he made the day after adjournment. He places the total ap­ propriations for the entire congress at $1,566,890,016 and th* appropriations authorized for future congresses under, the continuing contract system for bat­ tleships, river and harbor improve­ ments and public buildings at $70,000,­ 000. The total appropriations made at the last session Mr. Cannon places at $673,658,400, showing an apparent re­ duction of $219,573,214 below the ap­ propriations of the preceding session. Mr. Cannon attributes this reduction to the extraordinary war expenses of the preceding session. Of the total ap­ propriations for the congress he says that the sum of $482,5624)81 is directly chargeable to the war with Spain. He thus shows that the ordinary expendi­ tures for the two years covered by the congress were $1,044,580,273, and this sum exceeds the total appropriation of the Fifty-fourth congress by $39,­ 746,658. This excess is accounted for aa'fol­ lows: For payment of pensions, $3,­ 875,200; for the postal service, to meet increased demands of commerce, $16.­ 619,581; for river and harbor improve­ ments, $3,401,128; for constructing new ships, $6,080,838; for beginning the work of the twelfth census, $1,000,000; for the Paris exposition, $1,210,000; for new public buildings, $5,000,000; for payment of judgments against the government under the Bowman act and for the French spoliation claims, $3,100,768; total, $40,287,516.

March 11.—Unable to keep Mr. Kipling in ignorance of his favorite Josephine's death, the news was broken to him Friday night by Dr. Dunham. The blow waa a heavy one, but the father bore up bravely. “How long was she ill?" he asked. He was then told as much aa the attendauts thought wise. Tears stood in the poet’s eyes and he murmured half to himself, half aloud: “Poor little Joe." It waa thus he al­ ways cslled the little one. The doctors believed it was best to break the news, as the worry and the distrust he seemed to have in all the replies given to his queries about the little one would have probably been more harmful than to let him have the truth.

GOMEZ. day received numerous visitors, all of whom fissured him of their affection and loyalty and that the declarations by the assembly, on whatever subject, could not represent even the army, as the elections which gave ita members their present positions are really void­ able for illegality and political jobbery. There is no doubt that a majority of the people support him as against the assembly. The local press will proba­ bly attack the assembly, urging its dis­ solution as the best thing that can hap­ pen, and insisting that there is no rea­ son why the United States authorities may not continue to treat with Gen. Gomez in the matter of the payment to the troops. Havana, March 13.—Gen. Maximo Gomez ha* issued the following stater ment to the Caban people and army: “By the use of tbe supreme faculties with which It i» endowed the assembly, repre­ senting the army only, ha* deposed me aa commander in chief of the Cuban array, which grade It conferred upon me during the last war.

Ann Arbor, Mich., March 10.—Situ­ ated at the eastern side of the campus of the University of Michigan is the power plant. The building is a low, flat-looking structure of freestone with a slate roof. At one side of it, towering 152 feet into the air, is the large smoke stack. The inside diam­ eter of this is eight feet and its outside diameter much greater. Inside of the power house are the boiler-room, the engine-room and the pump-room. The boiler and pump-rooms are sunk well into the earth, so that even the top of the large boiler is several feet, below the surface of the ground. This is the reason the building looks so low and small from the exterior. COLD KILLS GAME. Here is generated the power for heating and lighting the entire camps with its 17 buildings; also the power to operate the machinery .in the several buildings. The heating is accomplished by steam, and the light­ ing by electricity. Power is trans­ ferred to points whfce wanted in the form of electricity and then trans­ formed into practical fqrin by means of a motor. Michigan has not only suffered * great loss from the killing of fruit and frpit trees by the severe cold weather, but- sustains another loss that has not been noted.

That was a most disastrous era for the woul Inter­ ests of this country. American flecks had been gradually increasing under the McKinley Tariff. On January I, 1893, there were 47.378,553 sheep in this country, according to tbe records of the Department of Agriculture, as compared with 44,336,973 on January I, 1890. But in March. 1893, an anti-Tarlff National Administration and an anti-Tarlff Con­ gress came into power In Washington, and American flocks straightway began to dwindle with significant rapidity. On January 1, 1894, tbe total number ot American sheep had fallen to 45JM8.817; 00 January 1, 1895, to 42,294,004; on January 1. 1896, to 38.398,783; on Janu­ ary 1, 1897. to 36,818,648. 9 In other words, our free wool “tariff reform" experiment of 1894 had eost this country tbe loss of more than ten million sheep, or between one-fourth and one-fifth of the entire flock of American farmers and ranchmen. But tbe decrease in numbern, disastrous as it was, did not begin to be so overwhelming a calam­ ity as tbe shrinkage in value. By tbe returns of tbe Department of Agriculture tbe total value of American sheep fell from 8135,909,264 on January 1, 1893, after two years and three months of McKinley Protection, to 887.020,942 on January 1, 1897, after two yean and four months of tbe free wool of Gorman-Wllaonlsm. Tbat Is, The economic change for which tbe election of Mr. Cleveland and an anti-Tarlff Congress ras rosponsible had wiped out almost one-balf of tbe wealth contained in the sheep flocks of the United States. But no sooner was thia economic blunder remedied than the number of American sheep once more began Increas­ ing. Tbe 88.818,648 of January 1. 1897, bad advanced to 37,656,960 on January 1, 1898, and again to 89.114.453 on January 1, 1899.—Bagton Journal.

MICHKAR LEGISLATURE. COOK BROS., PROPRIETORS. Cheek Waa Dae. HARRIED happiness is dependent upon the health of the wife mor-thau on any otirer oae thing. If a woman is troubled in a distinctly feminine ww the most delicate ber body are jp 4 state of chronic irritation. She has headache and tack­ ache. She is Itotless ■ nil spiritless. She is cross and blue. She frels that life is not worth living and her temper reflects the condition of her nene«. Poor, suffering wife—poor, di»tracted husband. If the husband is a cheerful, good humored man he will svinpathize —if he is nervous, tired and irritable himself, he will probably go off the clnb ot seek elsewhere-more con­ genial company. \ sick woman is to be pitied because rhe is miserable and because she has not vet learned that Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Preiription will make her well. rhe "Favorite Prescription’’ was de­ veloped over thirty yean ago in the reg­ ular practice of Dr. R. V. Pierce who ia and was then, chief consult­ ing physician to the Inva­ lids’ Hotel and Surgical Insti­ tute, at Buf­ falo, N. Y. Since then it has been used by millions of women and has brought 'health, happiness and contentment to as many homes. Mr wife was sick for over eight years," writes Albert 11. Fulte. Esq., of Altamont. Grundy Co.. Tenn. " She had uterine disease and was treated bv two physicians and gut no relief. At last I read about Dr Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I sent to the drug store, got one bottle and the brat dose gave ease and sleep. She had not slept any for three nights. Being sure that it would cure her I scut far fire more bottles and when »hc had taken tbe sixth bottle she was sound and wefi. We now have a fine bay St onr house." The " Favorite Prescription ” contains ao alcohol and no opium or other narcotic, and is perfectly harmless in any condition •>f the system. The Parisian papers are variously commenting on an incident that lately occurred in the garrison at Ton Ion. A soldier named R------ , while among his comrades at the bamcka, said t tango which Ooporal Delhorbe deem• an in­ sult to the French flag. The corporal ordered the man to be punish, d. The colonel, when he heard of the rase, waa horrified and straightway reported the matter to Gen. Coronnat, oom minding the Fourth brigade of marine infantry. The general was also horrified, and ad­ dressed the following letter ■ to the troops under his command: “Private R . of the Eleventh company, Eighth regiment, has been punished for hav­ ing wantonly said outrageous thing* concerning the flag. It is with sadness that tte general brings to the knowl­ edge of the troops thia incident, which is a veritable crime against the country. * * * Ae this soldier had deplorable antecedents, insults coming *rom him cannot soil the sacred emblem. Butaa he regrets his fault, we shell confine ourselves thia time to the following By the death of John Brady, who choked to death on a mutton chop late­ ly, the Bowery haa lost one of ita typ­ ical characters. He was known-to shop and hotel keepers from Chatham Square to Cooper Union. Brady bore the repu­ tation of an honest man who loved horses and reveled in races,who thought the Vanderbilts “up to the limit," and who was a faithful follower of Tam­ many Hall. For several months he had lived at a hotel at No. 7 Bowery, lu the last day of 1898 he went into a restaurantand with friends ordered drinks and mutton chops. While eating one he became purple in the face and fell to the floor, where in a few minutes he died, reports the New York Times. Since Brady came to this country from Ireland, 50 years ago, he had con­ tinually hung around race track sta­ I bles. His favorite story was how he saved the life of a Vanderbilt, and he 4 , « . .

Anent the proposition to make our newly-acquired dependencies, self-gov­ erning, itls interesting to note that par­ liamentary government has invariably proved a flut failure in semicivillaed countries. Tbe negro republics of Liberia and Hayti form the most glaring example; but it would hardly be correct, after all, to describe their government as parliamentary. With the exception of Chili, which, thanlur to a very large ad­ mixture of English and Scotch *bldod in its best families, stands far ahead of the rest, nearly all the Central and South American republics are pitiable paro­ dic* on popular government. The grossest corruption and incapacity are thinly veiled by paper constitutiona and clouds of high-sounding verbiage. In nearly every case they are ruled by political adventurer*, who govern really by force, and will rather plunge the country into the horrors of a revolution than forego the spoils of office.

New York, March 18.—Flames which originated from the igniting of a lace curtain burst forth from the second floor of the Windsor hotel at Forty­ seventh street and Fifth avenue short­ ly after three o’clock Fridlay. after­ noon* just as the St. Patrick’s day parade wm passing the building, and in a few moments they had leaped up to the roof and enveloped the entire Fifth avenue and Forty-seventh street front* of the hotel. Ten minutes later the flames were roaring through the interior of the hotel and all escape by means of stairways and elevators was cut off. There was the wildest scene of excitement within and without the building. Hundreds of gueertaand em­ ployes were, in the hotel when the fine broke out, and for many of them es­ cape with safety was impossible. Prob­ ably from ten to fifteen lives were lost within a half hour, and 30 or 40 per­ sona were Injured in jumping from win­ dows and in rushing through the roar­ ing flames in the corridors and on the stairways. Mrs. Elisabeth Leland. wife of Warren Leland, proprietor of the hotel; burns of body: died at R^ower hospital.

IPARKER1 which at that time was read by many of the farmers throughout the country. A. C. Wales, a Quaker neighbor, had a library which he placed at the young man’s dis­ posal. and It was not long before the con­ tents of every book on the shelves were mastered. In IMS he bought the Coshocton Whig, which he renamed the Republican. It was a free-soll whig paper. In 18S3 this journal was consolidated with another tree-soil pa­ per called the Fre’e Democrat and re chris­ tened the Leader. Its office was in Cleve­ land. About the same time Mr. Medill gave material assistance In founding the republican party In Ohio. In the winter of 1864-55 Mr. Medill sold his interest in the Leader to Mr. Edwin Cowles and coming to Chicago In May bought a large interest In the Chicago Tribune, a paper which was then almost bankrupt- It was placed on a paying basis by the new owners. In 1874 Mr. Medill secured full ©onrtol of the paper and through it made a fortune. __________________ The prince aS Wale* ia greatly exor­ cised over the recent accident in the English channel. As a peer expreaeed It, “hi* royal highness does not like to feel that be to living upon aa island defended and barricaded like the feudal barons of old. by high seae that da*h to pieces friend and foe alike.” Tbe crown, it to asserted upon the beat authority, will shortly offer a prise to be tried for by oom petition which will be opened to all ciriL engineers of the world. The prize offered will be no less than a fortune sterling for a plan by which the English channel can be reduced from a rolling torrent to a ealm, peaceful sea. Crossing tbe channel for years has been tbe dread of tbe transatlantic journey. Tourists who travel aa far aa London in safety are unable to cross the channel to France without suffer­ ing untold tortures of seacickneas. Traffic.across the channel at certain periods of the year to absolutely dan­ gerous, and at times commerce ia great­ ly delayed by tbe uncertainty of the voyage. Hie journey, -which, under ordinary circumstances, ought to be taken in a little over a night, is some­ times prolonged 30 hours, and then upon the very beat steamers. Upon slow-going freight steamers It is almost indefinite. The highest type of machin­ ery 1* required to make the journey on time. At times various schemes have been proposeiLJor stemming tlfe current or undertow from the North sea and the North Atlantic ocean around the Brit­ ish isles. The tales act m a dam to the water, which, sweeping southward by a mighty undertow, is caught by them only to break and sweep through tbe channel with incredible rapidity. Many of the schemes have been al­ most unique, notably one advanced by a Danish civil engineer for building a breakwater north of Wales. Thia, which was to extend for many hun­ dred feet into the water, was to be constructed south from Denmark and north from Wales, leaving a small open space through which boats could aaiL This, the engineer claimed, would have a tendency to allow less water to sweep through the channel, and would thus calm the tide. Other schemes of break­ water have been proposed, the most extravagant of which was the filling in of the channel by means of mud scows, so that, instead of being a deep pas­ sage, it would be in places very shal­ low. Modern engineering has become such a highly developed science that noth­ ing seems impossible to it, and It is thought that some engineering genius will have a remedy by which the Eng­ lish channel can be made calm. Prominent englneera in this country shake theit heads at tbe suggestion and say “impossible!" but English engi­ neers are more sanguine. At present one of the features of the channel is the life-saving service, which is the strongest in Europe.—Philadel­ phia Press.

The loss of the ves­ sel, which had much to do with this war, took place on February 16. Figures obtained from the New York bureau of vital autistic* of the board of health show an increase in the rela­ tive number of males born since then. SUted generally, there ore supposed to be 53 per cent, of boys and 47 per cent, of girls, when the noses of all the youngsters born since the beginning of the war are counted. Tho relative per­ centage of each sex born in other years is 51 per cent, of boys and 40 per cent, of girls. This looks like a gain of two per cent, in favor of the babies who will take delight in tin war ships, lead sol­ diers and the din of mimic battle. It cannot be controvertedi that in New York city there is an increase in the number of male infanta. In the rural districts the disparity is aaid to be even more strongly marked. There’s Oswego.N. Y.^forinsUnce, which sends in the report that of 46 children born since November 1,30 were boys. The in­ crease has been noted since the country was filled with the call for arms, and Americans were Ulking of the fighting traditions of the race. Dr. Roger S. Tracy, who looks over the reports of births and deaths in the bureau of vital statistics, and makes table* from studying them, is not pre­ pared fully to indorse the war theory. He says, however, that it is worthy of further Investigation. There has been an increase in the relative number of boys, and there has been a war. There are a few missing links in the chain of reasoning, if you use the synthetic process of reaching the conclusion of the theorists. X ed a Virfinian of a story. "The c|vil war,” he said, "did not eng as I had hoped, and when it was over 1 found myself tbe owner of my father’s plantation and half a buadred niggers who refused to acknowledge Mr. Lin­ coln’s emancipation proclamation. But I had no money. I decided to sell out the old place and go into a new conntry. If some ot you care to look it up you will find in the files of a New York newspaper in 1865, I think, an adver­ tisement of a southern plantation lor sale at a bargain. There was one happy idea in that advertisement—at least I thought so. It was that the plantation was one on which the sun never set. It was not an original idea, of course. I had often beard my father speak of the plantation in that way. He meant that every foot of it was under cultivation. And it became known in our county and the region round about as the planta­ tion on which the wn never set. In ad­ vertising it for sale4 used the descrip­ tion, knowing that some one would recognize it and talk abdut it, and that ' is the secret of successful advertising. THE BEST TONIC As winter passes Away it leaves many people feeling weak, depressed and easily tired. .This means that the blood needs attention and sensible people always take a tonic at this time of year. Purgatives are not the right medicine — they weaken instead of strengthening. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are the best tonic medicine in the world and do not act on the bowels. They stimulate the appetite, enrich the blood bloody strengthen the it, active nerves and make people | and strong. Do not accept a substitute..

There ia Dothln< In the world Maier than to lay out the work of ether peo pie gyatemfitically, according to act rules and method, and there are A1 great many people who foolishly em­ ploy themselvea in thia manm to „ the ~ neglect of that work which (. »a been given them to do on their owr. <-eoonL It ia doubtful if the world \ as ever benefited much by the theorio of peo­ ple without practical experience to guide them. The woman who has never cooked, who has never catered to the needs of a family, cannot teach cooking to others or give lessons in household economy which will be of practical value. All the knowledge of chemistry und of physiology that can be learned Is not worth the practical experience of one intelligent woman who has tolled successfully, however humbly, in her kitchen, solving these problems. Invaluable as science is in solving the problems of the household, its chief value is as an assistant to practical ex­ perience. The good sense and instinct of true motherhood, when guided by experience, have proved a far less falli­ ble method of dealing with.household problems than science has yet given us. There are reasons for this. If men and women were machines it would be quite possible to serve their needs by exact methods. Households are composed of individuals, sensate be­ ings whose needs and whose condi­ tions often vary infinitely from each other. The problem of each household is to meet these individual needs, and it must be forever a problem which must be solved individually. Science deals only with the average irian, and fails to touch the needs of some individ­ uals. What improved to be the correct food for the average.man may be some exceptional man’s poison. It has been repeatedly proved that established the­ ories of food must be abandoned before practical experience in individual cases. There are persons to whom strawber­ ries are poisonous, and others who find wholesome meat, and even milk, na­ ture’s so-called "universal food,” indi­ gestible All household problems, like the problem of food. are also more or less individual ones. It depends largely upon the moth­ er of the family to decide whaf is best for her own. She knows by long experience, the individual needs of each child. She remembers that this one has a dplicate throat, another, perhaps, a weak digestion. It is the fact that, she treats her family and selects their food from her knowledge of their individu­ ality that will always render the home table superior to that of a hotel. .The home table may be a plain one, but love guides the caterer andrdictates the ex­ penditures. It is arranged to suif\he needs of the individual family, not on any set theoryr It is for that reason it is the most delightful and most whole­ some table in the world. One shudders involuntarily over the physical degradation of a family fed by theory, each day on just the correct scientific allowance of proteids. starches and fats, as-at the thought of the table of the young bride of the (comic song, who cooked food by .“chem­ ical formulae.” . Men are not willing to be treated like machines in a matter ro vital and so individual, though there are a great many well-intentioned peo­ ple who fire forever attempting to solve the. problems of’home by some rule that will apply to all. The fact is be­ coming more and more apparent, after years of foolish experiment to the contrary, that men and women are un­ willing to give up the individuality of home to meet any theory of what is best for them. The day is further away than ever when they will be willing to be fed, housed and clothed on any cheap universal plan.—N. Y. Tribune. A PRIME FISH CHOWDER.

Gold bracelets are in big round bands, as large as the jade bracelet, set, at regular intervals, with big knob# formed of jade, amethysts, or effective semiprecious stones. They are stylish. Little collars of fur are made sailor shape, round, and are fastened in front with velvet tied in a sailor knot; chin­ chilla fur, with blue velvet, makes a pretty combination. * A pretty white scarf for the nedk is of the finest and sheerest mull, hem­ stitched across the ends and down the aides with a narrow hem. On each end, for a few inches up. is a pattern of con­ ventional violets, lightly embroidered, all in white. A striking gown of brown, made with the plain back, and fastened across just below the waist, wfyh two oblong but­ tons or pins of gold, bad orange velvet Jet into the front of the jacket in a square, zigzag pattern. A bit of orange velvet waa in the brown hat. A handsome chinchilla collar has a straight round cape of blue velvet, em­ broidered with cut steel, for a founda­ tion, while the chinchilla falls over it in points, the standing collar being of the fur. It is a handsome collar, though no one pretends that any combination could be more beautiful then ^.simple fine fur. However, the combination is a fad of fashion, and makes for change. A pretty gown worn by a pretty girl the other day bad the bodice of idove gray silk tucked lengthwise with fine lucks, the sleeve* were tucked across. The gimp was of pale yellow velvetf, the silk below it was edged with a little shirred gray velvet ribbon, which ran down the opening of tbe blouae, which was at the §ide. The gimp was appliqued with white lace. Around her neck the girl wore a string of big gold beads. Fur toques, which are so popular this yeaj, have the rims and sides solidwith fur, the soft crown in many sbowihgso little that it is hardly noticeable. Many of them are trimmed with etlher one or two ostrich plumes passing from the front to the back of the hat. They are usually of some shade of soft gray or brown, those indescribable shades neither light nor dark, but dull in eftect, and which have new names each year, which this season blend with, the fur of the toque, which seldom has flowers upon it to brighten it. Mademoiselle, who is tired of pulling her watch out from the inside of her gown—usually pulling a bunch of un­ derwaist ribbons with it—who objects to a clumsy bracelet, and is afraid of losing a watch set in her purse, and doesn’t believe in having a chatelaine, now wears a buttonhole chronometer. It is really too tiny to be called a chro­ nometer. for the watch part is about the size of the small compass once popular with men as watch charms. This is the button part, which she putsthrough the buttonhole.of her coat, while be­ neath it the under side of the button . is as large.as a quarter dollar, and pre­ vents the little watch from slipping through. A pretty gijrl who wears a bright red ribbon high and tight .around her throat. wears over it a pretty piece of Jace which she ties in a bow at the front. The lace is softening, and the whole is atylish and prejty. Thia lace is white, but different effects can be made with black lace. The woman can now get out her short, narrow lace “barbs" that she wore some years ago and utilize them in this way or loan them to her daughter. There are a good many pretty pieces of real lace, in the form of “barbs.” neatly packed away with the family lace, which it has been thought from the ugly, conventional appearance could never be utilized. -Now is the time for them.—N. Y. Times; Anyone who has upset all her ribbon baskets, trinket boxes and dressing ta­ ble drawers in search of tbe nar­ row ribbons which she uses as draw­ wrings for her lingerie would hail with delight a dainty little box designed ex­ pressly for such as she. The box it­ self is just big enough to hold two large spools, on which are wound satin rib­ bon. The box is covered with in verwoven ribbon of two or more tints and lined with white soft silk; on the inner aidb of the cover an ivory bodkin is fastened. The two big spools are wound with be be ribbon, one in blue and one in white or one pink and one blue or both white, according to one’s fancy. Not until one has tasted the joy of hav­ ing a place especially designed for those tagliag, elusive, narrow ribbons and a bodkin that- can be found when wanted can the comfort and conven­ ience of these pretty trifles be appre­ ciated.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. tKUInc.

March 20.—Capt. Erwin, acting superintendent of the Yellow­ stone National park, has reported \° the interior department thnt the un­ precedented fall of snow in the park this year unquestionably will lead to the death of very many ahtelope. deer and elk before the winter ia over. In places in the park snow ib over 12 feet in depth and is firmly crusted every­ where, which prevents these animals from digging through and obtaining their food underneath. This condition of affairs, it is expected, probably will last all this month and perhaps niwrt. A small appropriation from the park revenue for buying hay is asked. Many deer are now in the immediate neigh­ borhood of the military post picking up bits of hay. The scouts rej>ort the elk very weak and believe that unless steps are taken to feed them the deaths among them will amount to thousands. The main herd of buffalo, however, .be­ ing in a region of hot- springs that melt the mow. are getting along fairly well.

THE JUDICIAL COMMITTEE ISSUES Voters are asking for fitness both of bead FOR CIRCUIT JUDGE AN ADDRESS. eot Smith Bhoald be Be elected to the PoalUon He Now Hold*. . Believing that tbe duties of the Judicial Committee do not end with fixing tbe time arit p.-ace ef holding the convention for the Domination of a Circuit Judge, we wish to call the attention of tbe electors of the Dibtrict to some important facts and potential reasons why the nominee of the Convention should receive the hearty sup­ port of tbe voters. Nu man can be judged as to his capabili­ ties to discharge the duties of a Circuit Judge until he has been tried. Judge Clement Smith has demonstrated beyond question that be is tbe right man in the right place. His splendid legal attain­ ments. his judicial qualities and his abso­ lute fairness to litigants of all classes speak In no uncertain tones of hte eminent ability as a Judge. Tbe Circuit Is tbe most populous one in the state, presided over by a single Judge. There are up­ wards of five hundred cases com me need Id this Judicial Circuit every year, all of which require attention and many of4 them ooaupy days and weeks In their trial. Be-' sides these there are a great number of motions, many of which are Important, and require time in their presentation and consideration, making upwards of six hun­ dred matters to be eared for by the Court in a single year. There are from three to four hundred contested matters of all kieds in this Circuit each year. To do this work requires health, experience, a love of the work, and an abil ity to grasp legal questions involved, and a keen sense of the right, that tbe cases may be dis­ posed of on tbe law and facts with equal and exact justice to uli concerned. These qualities we believe Judge Smith is in possession of, as demonstrated by his work upon the Bench. Tbe fairness, jus­ tice and Impartiality of his rulings and opinions is acknowledged generally, but tbe best evidence of these elements is In tbe fact that only about five per cent of tbe contested matters to this Circuit are taken-to the Supreme Court for review. While it Is no evidence of tbe ability of a Judge that bis cases are affirmed or reters depending on a variety of reasons, many of which tbe Court Is In no way re­ sponsible for, yet Judge Smith’s standing in the Supreme Court Is considerably abate tbe average. He bas some -ot tbe ■east important matters to deal with that have come Into the Courts of this state. Aside from important criminal matters, and there bave been many of them, there are a number of civil causes, which in tbeir relation to the business world are of far reaching magnitude in tbeir effect up­ on the business relations of the country, la these matters requiring a broad, oomprebeuslve view of the rights and privi­ lege of Individuals and- corporations to Mhers, Judge Smithl bas shown a re markable grasp of legal knowledge and in them has nearly always been sustained by tbe Appellate Court Among tbe more important of these In which his rulings and opinions have been sustained by tbe Supreme Court of the state are the following: In Barry county: People vs. Eaton, Involving the law appli­ cable to the placing of telephone poles In .'treats and highways. Hilbert va. Barry iavolving the right of corporations to in­ cur indebtedness. People vs. Ferguson, involving tbe right of a church socie^ In tbe protection of Its property. In Calhoun county tbe following: Bat­ tle Creek i Sturgis R. R.

The Importance of the election Monday goes beyond thp matter of mere party supremacy in that It will serve, first to emphasize the fact that the majority of the people emphati­ cally endorse the administration of Presi­ dent McKinley and second it will have a direct Influence upon the Presidential campaign which will be upon the country again next year. Aside from this the direct results of the issue of Monday’s contest are very important.

For tbe head of tbe ticket but one name was proposed and that was Philo A. Sheldon for Mayor, wbo was accorded tbe honor of being nominated by acetamatlon. For recorder a cloae contest wm made between tbe friends of Wilbur McDonald and Matt Erb, tbe informal ballot being very close. On the formal ballot however Mr. McDonald was nominated, be re­ ceiving 80 votes to Mr. Erb’s 78, and 6 scattering. For Treasurer Charies Hampton and John Maad were candidates tbe former receiving so large' a majority that the tetter moved that the ballot be declared formal and Mr. Hampton be declared the unanimous nominee.

Sheldon, tbe republican nominee for Mayor. Dur­ ing tbe past two years be bas most faith­ fully served tbe city as Aiderman. He bas given freely of bls time and worked honestly, zealously and faithfully in the city’s interest. He assumed tbe duties of bls office when tbe city's finances were in a deplorable condition and when tbe City ball scandals were exciting public attention, and tbe “Bear Dances” were arousing public interest. In tbe City hall contests In tbe courts be fearlessly championed tbe cause of the city, and, with tbe assistance of Mayor Waters and several alddermen, was instrumental in saving hundreds of dollars to tbe city, and shutting off all needless expense, and to them te largely due tbe credit of bringing tbe city through tbe Slough of Finan­ cial Despond, and placing it on a firm basis financially, as can be seen by tbe Financial report and tbe communication of Mayor Waters in this issue. As a citizen be bas always been liberal and progressive and worked for tbe best In­ terests of Hastings. It te bte proud boast that no subecribtion paper has ever been placed before him that be bas not sub scribed and paid bte full abare. He was largely instrumental In raising tbe bonus to get the Oedarine factory to locate here, and was foremost in raising tbe money and doing tbe work incident to tbe wel­ come accorded tbe returning soldiers by tbe city of Hastings. If elected be stands pledged to a continuance of tbe conserva­ tive management of the affairs of tbe elty, and tbe citizens can feel and know that all moneys will be carefully expended and accounted for, and at the same time tbe improvements noted during the past year will be continued.

In the county of Escambia in Alabama is the little town of Flomaton and there fives Mrs. Mollie Grimes. She was a rood wife and mother but several years ago she found her health slipping away from her. She realized that this meant ti e inevitable nervousness and irritability that would surely lose for her the affec­ tion of her children and husband, and that os her health declined discord and misorv would appear in her home. She was filled with tne loving motherly in­ stinct, but two miscarriages in succession almost broke her heart. She had almost Jost hope when the clouds rolled away itixi the light of health and happiness returned. She tells her story in these words: ’I was almost heart-broken to think I could not raise »ny more children and had to auffer as xml I fully expected to Tnoe another when, in ■errption and took it un­ til after baby wm born iu Ntnrtnber. With my ether children I had suf­ fered everything that fieah could suffer but thia only • abort time.

Ann Arbor, Mich., March 22.—The Targe collection ol musical instruments which was recently given to tlie Uni­ versity of Michigan by Frederick Steurna, of Detroit, is being arranged in the university museum. The entire third floor of the north wing ot the museum building ha* been set apart for the collection. As rapidly as pos­ sible the pieces are being mounted, and arranged in cases. The collection comprises upwards of a thouwand instruments, and In­ cludes almost every suund-product ng device known to savage or civilized man. Many of the pieces were collect­ ed by Mr. Stearns during his travels in Europe, Asia. Africa and South Amer­ ica. Others were secured from those who had gathered them. The collec­ tion, besides requiring a period of years lor its accumulation, haa cost thousands of dollar*. There are single piece* which have cost hundreds. Some of the instruments are of great value because of their antiquity, some be­ cause of the hours and hours of labor required for their production, others because of their complex mechanism, and atill others because of the great expense incurred in getting them from the far-away countries in which they were used to Ann Arbor. Mr. Stearns ha* been a great traveler and at the head. This stand is an elaborate and beautiful example ot oriental cloisonne work. Another valuable piece ia a Mich., have been married sixty-tight horn made of an elephant's tusk. It is T«r« and are MUI ll.tn, happily toother. beautifully carved it* entity length.

Tbe tube is of glass, with silver stop*. Another rare specimen i» a cane violin. This is a la^ge, hollow cane which, when taken apart, becomes a violin. Among the collection of harps is one representing the type before the introduction of the modern Erard style of harps, which occurred at the beginning' of the pres­ ent century. This ancient harp is of either French or Italian make. In a esse given over to curious musical in­ struments is a complete octave of mu­ sical glasses. In the same case are also A number of miniature instruments. One of the most interesting exhibits is a large parchment chant book. The leaves of this are nearly two by three feet in size and are of very strong hide. Tbe pages are highly illuminated with initial letters and color designs. The covers are of wood, over which tough, leather ha* been stretched. It is sup­ posed that the volume belonged to a cathedral at Santiago, Spain. The collection, besides being a mostvaluable addition to the university museum, will be of practical u«e in il­ lustrating the courses in the history of music. The larger instruments will be so arranged that Prof. Stanley, of the music department, can demon­ strate their workings to his students as occasion demands. R- H. ELSWORTH.

COOK BROS, PROPRIETORS, I ----------- Mataafana, Conxtitating the Tempo­ rary Government, Commence the Fighting. UPSELB BY BOSE, THE GERMAN CONSUL Apia, Saipoan Islands, March 23, via Auckland, N. Z., March 30.—The troubles growing out of the election of a king of Samoa have taken a more se­ rious turn and resulted in the bom­ bardment of native villages along ths shore by the United States cruiser Phil­ adelphia, Admiral Kautz commanding, and the British cruisers Porpoise and Royalist. The bombardment has con­ tinued intermittently for eight days. Several villages have been burned, and there have been a number of casualties among the American and British sailors and marinea. As yet ifls impossible to estimate the number of natves killed or injured. As Mataafa and his chiefs, constitut­ ing the provisional government, con­ tinued to defy the treaty after the ar­ rival of the Philadelphia, Admiral Kautz summoned the various consuls and the senior naval officers to a confer­ ence on board the Philadelphia, when the whole situation was carefully can­ vassed. The upshot was a resolution to dismiss the. provisional government, and Admiral Kautz issued a proclama­ tion calling upon Mataafa and his chiefs to return to \their hoifies. Mataafa evacuated Mulinuu, the town he had made his headquarters, and went into the interior.

As a result of this the Mataafana assembled in large force and hemmed in the town. The British cruiser Royalist brought the Malietoa prisoners from the islands to which they had been transferred by the pro­ visional government. The Americans then fortified Mulinnu, where 22.000 Malietoans took refuge. The rebels— the adherents of Mataafa—barricaded the roads within the municipality and seized the British houses. Malteaw An ultimatum was then sent to them, ordering them to evacuate, and threat­ ening them, in the event of refusal, with a bombardment to commence at one o'clock on the afternoon of March 15. This was ignored, and the rebels commenced an attack in the direction of the United States and British con­ sulates about half an hour before the time fixed for the bombardment. The Philadelphia, Porpoise and Royalist opened fire upon the distant villages. There was great difficulty in locating the enemy, owing to the dense forest; but several shore villages were soon in flames. Oylaloa la WaahlsgtoB.

Barrett, for the pqst office department, holding them in certain cases to be violations of the lottery laws as dependent on chance. One scheme officially declared to be illegal was where a trip to the Parisexposit ion, with J200 for expenses, was offered as a prize. Each person en­ tering the contest is required to pay 30 cents, then send to friends two let­ ters, requesting them to send their names to the original promoter and i send duplicate letters to two of their friends, the operation to be repeated in­ definitely. Each person writing to the original promoter'was to receive an of­ fer allowing him to start a chain on his own account on payment of 30 cents, the trip and money going to the one whose chain brings put the largest number of letters. The ostensible ob­ ject was to secure names for employ­ ment at the exposition. The other enterprise barred offered an eight-doDar kodak to the person starting a chain which runs to comple­ tion, when operated in the following manner: The starter was to send cards to ten persons, each to pay the operator instigating them ten cents. Each re­ cipient of a card is requested in turn to send the operator ten cents, for which he receive* ten cards. These cards are to be sent'to ten other persons who are in turn to send them in with ten cents for ten other cards. If the ten cards sent out b(y each of the ten persons ad­ dressed bjj the starter of the scheme are sent in to the promoter an eight-dollar kodak is tK* be sent to the starter.

They are now in full re­ treat toward the north, where Aguinaldo and the cabinet have been for two days. Alter three hours of desperate flghtingthe natives, realizing that further ef­ fort was hopeless. set fire to the city and fled in ‘disorder. A large portion of Aguinaldo’s army managed to break through the lines and the men scattered in every direc­ tion, leaving guns and swords behind. The American loss was comparative­ ly small, considering the severe nature of the combat. Rapid-fire guns had been trained upon the city and spread consternation among the native troops. MacArthur began the attack at seven o’clock this morning, having'the city practically surrounded by-his forces. Line after line of intrenchments was stormed, the defenders falling back into the town. At last the natives found that they could do no more, sc they applied the torch to buildings in every direction and began the retreat. Aguinaldo E«rapn.

In spite of this, it ia said, there was no panic on board. The coasting steamer Lynx, which brought the news of the disaster here, picked up four boats and 40 persons belonging to the Stella. Late estimates of the number of Uvea lost range from 70 to 120 persons. The last thing tbe survivors saw was the figure of the captain o/ the Stella standing calmly on the bridge and giv­ ing his last instructions. The captain perished with his vessel, owing to the suction caused by the sinking steamer being very great indeed. Many pathetic incidents are reported. In several cases men lifted their wives and children into the boats and then perished themselves in their presence. One wife who was'thus bereaved lost her reason. A hirgc'^iumber of the survivors arrived here without any clothing, clad only in blankets. The passengers nil agree that perfect order and discipline prevailed on board the Stella. The crew promptly took up their stations when the steamer struck, served out the life belts and lowered the boats. The scene at the moment of the sinking of the vessel was heart­ rending. Those who hud succeeded in getting into the boats had a narrow es­ cape from being engulfed on account of the suction caused by the sinking vessel. 'Hie voice of Capt. Rooks, from the bridge, was frequently heard, urg­ ing the rowers to pull for their lives. TO WORK HAND Tn”HAND. New York.

C-, and who is generally identified with the Axnraphel of Genesis 14. We have al­ ready been made acquainted with the existence of a system of letter writing in use among the kings of the east at au early period, as illustrated by the famous Tel-el-Amama tablets. These, we know, present the diplo­ matic and private correspoadence be­ tween the kings of Syria, Mitanni, or northern Mesopotamia, and Babylon, and may be dated about 1450 B., C. The valuable serie* of tablets which ha* just been secured for our National museum belong to a period ot 1,000 years earlier, and are certainly the oldest known let­ ters in the world. The position those Babylonian letters in oriental literature is of extreme importance. They reveal the existence of a regular system of correspondence between ruler* and their subordinates, and that writing was not only used to record event* in royal annals, bytfor ordinary purposes. They are, besides, manifest­ ly the models for all aft er-time, aa in the case of the diplomatic correspond­ ence in the Tel-hJ-Amarna tablets. We can now see how overshadowing was the influence of Babylonian over all western Asia. During the thousand years which elapsed between the time of Khammurabi and the date of these later letter* discovered some years ago. Babylonia became the educational cen­ ter of the oriental world. TJie great library at BorsippU was the school and university not only of Chaldea, but of Syria, North Mesopo­ tamia, and Asia Minor. Fragments of the Deluge and Creation tablets, dated from a period more than 1,000 years before Moses, have been discovered in Babylonia. It is therefore clear that il the scribes of Canaau were taught to write and use the cuneiform script, through these influences, there must have been some among them who were acquainted with the traditions stored in the Chaldean libraries. The present find is indeed a great one; but one can only regard it as a prelude to still more important discoveries which will prob- . xbij put a new repret on the «x«t nnestifln of Hebrew origin*. oriPiM. To possess nossefw question letters contemporary with the time of Abraham is certainly an astonishing result of oriental exploration, and one which far exceeds the wildest dreams of those who first revealed to us the buried cities.of Assyria and Babylonia —Scotsman. SOURCES OF RUBBER SUPPLY.

Of this amdunt Brazil produced 34.750 ton*, or a. little more than half the entire supply. Africa's share was 19,­ 800 tons, leaving only 2,200 tons to be supplied by the rest of the world. In­ dia furnished 495 tons and the balance of the supply, 1,705 tons, from Cen­ tral America and parts of South Amer­ ica outside of Brazil. When the export of rubber from Bra­ zil began about 50 years ago, the quan­ tity shipped in a year was only 495 tons. The British minister in Brazil estimates that the area of rubber pro­ ducing territory in Brazil that is still untouched amounts to 961,000 square miles, or nearly a third of the area of the United States, exclusive of Alaska. The great difficulty in developing these rubber regions is the scarcity of pop­ ulation and the consequent necessity of carrying food supplies everywhere. In all the vast rubber regions of Bra­ zil it is estimated that there are only 140,000 inhabitants. The rubber dis­ tricts that thus far have furnished the supply are becoming exhausted andtKe total production last year was less than in the preceding year. In- Africa there wa* until recently only one region which had been very conspicuous aa a rubber producer. This was the Portuguese colony of Angola, which In 1889 sent to the market 1,728 tons, while the Gold Coast and Lagos together furnished only 912 tons. In that year the Congo basin appeared in the market as a source of supply. Its progress since then has been rapid, and in 1897 1,600 ton* were exported from the upper Congo, though the rubber had to be carried a long distance on the heads of porters. The present prospects are that the Congo will some day be Brazil’s nearest rival in the pro­ duction of rubber.—N. Y.

He had the place and half the money to j f i offer. “Some of the aihxrenrtrit* of this gold-brick de*ler weri, ** I viewed them, enumerated in the following or­ der: No competition, unlimited credit, * social position at the jump and no questions asked, immediate member­ ship in the club< the acquaintance of the leading men. To these were added the possibilities, namely, chance to get in on the ground floor of the business and matrimony in a rich family. “To a man who had been keeping in a. hall room, third floor, b*ek, and eat­ ing an occasional meal under the same roof, in the bouse of a Hungarian over on the east aide, this pictured the New England man looked like the sweet field* beyond tbe swelling flood. “I reached the New England town, or city a* you call it, Sunday morning. If any of you are going to a New England town on trial don’t go in on Sunday. If. the forecaster can locate a tornado in the place select that date. In that case you might find things -lively. Of course all depends upon whnt you are going for. I lived in the house of one of the descendants. 1 could no* have stopped at the tavern on the salary I bed accepted. This was the first awak­ ening. My venerable landlord and his good wife were frugal indeed. They had family prayer and retired early. 1 had been drilled in both. 1 might have changed my quarters, but inquiry brought information about other places .which made them uo more desir­ able. Whenever I left the hduac in the evening I was requested to ret urn early, so as not to be a nuisance. They didn’t call it that, but that was what they meant; and on the following morning I was interrogated much closer than I had ever been at my home. “The man wbo bad le<3 me into thU beautiful dream life said to me one day luak as SAMJU US the (Ue season Wabel) opened ODCDCU he DC that soon as |Btrodu„ me U,. . .... . . said society would be home in about two mouths. I asked him if there were no people in, town on whop I could re­ hearse, as it were, until tbe cleet re­ turned. But I learned that there were no rehearsals. There were but two classes in the place, the aristocrats and the commoners. Any associatioxx-with the latter cut off approach to the circle? of tbe former. ‘ “Finally I was posted for member­ ship in the club and was blackballed But that turned out to be a mistake. The man who did it apologized. He thought I was another man of the same name. I was afterward accepted, but I think there were some who nevez quite understood it. Whenever a game became interesting to me the other fel­ lows had engagementsand went to ful­ fill them. “I had some friends to dinner at the club one Sunday. It was a dry affair in spite of my attempt at bribery, for which' I was lectured by the officer* of the club. When the season opened 1 found some invitations and accepted them. The same rule applies to accept­ ance* in a New England town that ap­ plies in other town*. To accept create* an obligation. The obligation is can­ celed only by reciprocity. I like the recprocial dea. But the obligations were created mote rapidly than I de­ sired, or, to be honest, than I could af *>rd to reciprocate.

I trust you will feel that whatever the Court does Is done because he feels It his duty to do it and not out of any feeling of revenge or malice and I do not want you to think that I have that feel­ ing at all.

That the task of Imposing a sentence in this case is a diffi’ult one may well I* imagined, and that It would be meet with criticism, no matter what it might be. was a certainty. It will be observed that Allen McOmber was given the more severe sentence, be­ cause be was recognized as the ring leader, in passing the sentence Judge Smith said: Have you anything to say why the udgment of this Court shall not be pro­ nounced against you? A. I do not think 1 have. No sir. This Is a matter of great importance aud if It appeared to you, and I think It must have, as it does to the Court it is a pretty Important moment for you., I think that In all my experience, possibly barring one or two matters. 1 have never been pained so much, as I have been in passing sentence upon you. It does not make so much difference about pronounc­ ing sentence upon one when you do not know him well, but to pronounce sen­ tence upon men with whom I have as­ sociated, who are respectably connected, whose relations are respectable, who are received in good society, business mem Is to me a .very serious matter. I say to you that if I enuld avoid It and do what I think I ought to under my path of office, standing between the peo­ ple and the people who commit crimes, i -vntiM L? werv clad to save you from imprisonment. It does not seem to me that 1 can do IL I have given it very careful consideraatlon in view of all the circumstances and In view of all the surroundings I feel the -entence 1 am called upon to place upon yon is a very lenient one. But 1 realize, as you realize, that a prison sentence to either one of you is a very serious one. Of course you have been in good society and are respectably connected and it will mean more to you than to some men. I have talked with yon in. my room and how much of what you have told me Is troth 1 cannot say. it may be all truth, but if it is as you *ay that you, a couple of business men, knew that some one was interfering with the personal property and personal rights nf another, and doing it all the time, and depriving a friend of his property that you would have done what you now say ypu ought to have done and had you done it, you would have undoubted­ ly saved all this trouble. If yon are tell­ ing the truth about iL Now while I say this sentence will be a <»evere one, I mean It will be severe to yon .because 1 know, at feast I think 1 know, something about the feeling of a sentence upon a person, but I again say I think the sentence Is a very lenient one. With your age, experience and business ability, and what you might be !n the world, ami what you are, I make it light, and J make It just what it is In view of the fact that you have promised you would reimburse the count/ /or the expense they have been put to and are to save the expense of a long and tedious trial and close the matter up, but I think I ought to take into con­ sideration the fact that there are others here that must stand up In court and re­ ceive their sentence. 1 have tried to think that I could relieve John from imprisonment and it la possible that I could do so, as I have been requested by his friends but as ’ think of the other men connected with this offense 1 do not see bow I can. While fl lq not for me to determine the degree of your offense, yet from my knowledgde of the circumstances, which 1 understand pretty thoroughly, I do not think John Is as guilty as Alien. Allen is the leader and I would like to make * distinction, on that account, because 1 think it Is right to make IL Now there has been something said to me by your friends that you could not over it when you came out I feel that you are men of dense, and think that you should feel that you are paying the peualty for the offense fad whan that ,s done you will come back^to citizenship, citizenship, and take ypur ptoee among citizens. While, 1 know, yoa will have something of a stain «poo you, i'l TioTeraamf Meonun JV S ■. rriniMMM>Ml VQL. XLm. NO. 50 fine is paid, not exceeding eighteen months in all, from and including this day. The passing of the sentence was accom­ panied by many heart-rending scones that moved the strongest to tears, as may well be surmised. The news of the sentence passed around like wHd fire and soon mo­ nopolized all talk and gossip. The prison­ ers were taken to Jackson prison Thursday evening, and are now paying the penalty of tbelr wrong doing. Both have been put to work, Allen making boxes and John working a drill In the iron department Gr»ce and Thorp Sentenced. Q. Mr. Thorpe, have you anything to say why the judgment of the Court should not be pronounced against you? Ans. No sir. Q. And you, M r. Grace? Ans. No sir. • I have bad a conference or conferences with both of you, separate and apart, to-day, and I have also had a conference with some of your friends. The probabilities are that I know as well as anyone can know without a trial, the circumstances involving the entire transaction and what was going on be­ tween yourselves and the MeOmbers and Bert Campbell. It is a pretty serious matter and it makes it all the more serious for the Court because, In such cases, there Is a disposition to charge more of the guilt upon others, than the one with whom I am talking, and It Is pretty difficult to tell where the truth la in a matter like this.

X Two years aft^r the visit‘of 1893 the legislature was again at the university. The evening reception was held in Uni­ versity hall, a concert being given by the Choral Union and the Glee and Banjo clubs. The usual meeting with 'the students occurred on the following noon. ’ At this time Kpeeches were made by Senators McLaughlin, Kilpatrick and Janies, and Representatives Waite, Fisk and Donovan. With the president and regents for guests the legislators inspected the gymnasium, which had been completed since their last visit to Ann Arbor, and the other buildings be­ longing to the university. . MARRIAGES ,TOF TO-DAT. D^r^ai-r i. U There are fewer marriages in propor­ tion to population than formerly; fam­ ilies are smaller; they are less coher­ ent; they are less lasting. In England the'marriage rate fell from 17.2 per cent In 1851 to 15.2 per cent in 1881, and from 1873 to 1888 the ages of men and women who married rose respect­ ively from 25.6 and 24.2 to 203 and 24.7. The rise In the number of di­ vorces, 1860-1885, was universal. In 1871 England and Wales show 1 divorce to 1.020.4 marriages; In 1879, 1 In 480.83. From 1867 to 1886 divorces In the United States Increased 157 per cert, while the population Increased 60 per cent. One of the causes of change is the whole modern movement of lib­ eration—of subjects from sovereigns, slaves from masters, wives from hus­ bands and children from parents. A more special -cause has been the growth of large cities, which complete. !y alter the environment of the organ­ ism. Men become less dependent on wom­ en for their home needs, and women have resources and Interests which the simple life of the country denies them. Then. too, attachments __ ;______ formed wai on slight acquaintances of underlying traits of character are less likely to prove lasting. The number of mar­ riages among women of higher educa­ tion is less • than among the uneducat­ ed. Of 1.486 ex-students of the chief women’s colleges of England only 208 married. The new economic opportunities for women of the middle class rival the domestic anil social life which mar­ riage offers and also brings into the In­ dustrial market a class of competitors with whom the standard of wages is simply what Is sufficient to support the individual. Among the working class marriages am not less frequent, but the home is apt to be less comfortable on account of the tendency of women to go out to work. • The little town of Eucla. which Is the junction of the South Australian aud \\ eat Australian telegraph sys­ tems. has a newspaper of Its own. the first number of the Eucla Recorder having made its appearance Iasi month. The editor. In sending a copy of bls Journal to an Adelaide contem­ porary. says: "The paper haa been written and prlntwl without any pro­ fessional assistance by the members of the South Australian apd West Aus­ tralian telegraph staffs nt Eucla.

So many people die from Cancer simply oeMFRF PIMPI cause they do not know just what the disease is; WILIIL I HTH LLu< they naturally turn themselves over to the doctors, ' and are forced to submit to a cruel and dangerous operation—the only treatment which the doctors know for Cancer. Tbe disease promptly returns, however, and is even more violent and destructive than before. Cancer is a deadly poison in the blood, and an operation, plaster, or other external treatment can nave no effect whatever upon it. The cure must come from within—tbe last vestige of poison must be eradicated. Mr. Wm. Walpole, of Walshtown, 8. D., says: “A little blotch about the size of a pea came under my left eye. gradually growing larger, from which shooting pains al intervals ran in all directions. I became greatly alarmed and consulted a good doctor, who pronounced it Cancer, and advised that it be cut out, but this I could not con­ sent.to. I read in my local paper pf a cure effected by Jk 8. 8. 8., and decided to try it. It acted like a charm, the Cancer becoming at first irritated, and then discharging very freely. This gradually grew leas and then discon­ tinued altogether, leaving a small scab which soon drop­ ped off. and now only a healthy little scar remains where what threatened to destroy my life once held full sway.” 1 Positively the only cure for Cancer is Swift’s Specific— 8. 8. 8. FOR THE BLOOD . —because it is the only remedy which can go deep enough to reach the root at tne disease and force it out of the system permanently. A surgical operation does not reach the blood—the real seat of the disease—because the blood can not be cut away. Insist upon 8. 8. 8.; nothing can take its place. 8. 8. 8. cures also any case of Scrofula. Eczema, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, Ulcers, Sores, or any other form of blood disease.

Havelin. an old resident of Grand Rapids, has presented the uni­ versity museum in Ann Arbor with a curious collection of instruments that were used for disciplining incorrigible slaves before the civil war. The collec­ tion consists of a number of heavy iron collars and handcuffs, and some ma­ chines that were used for stiffening the legs of the slaves. One of the collars re­ sembles those worn by the slaves that were known to Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, and which are described by her in her novels. The collection has been in the posession of Mrs. Havelin for a n umber of years. ‘In many of the stores of Havana,” says the Times of Cuba, “signs are dis­ played announcing that English Is spo­ ken within. In this way: 'Inglis spo­ ken. Our very good friends will come 4n aud received many excellent treat­ ment.' "Another example of Havana's new English Is shown on a card which a Cuban shirtmaker has been sending out, and which rends as follows: “ The Cuban Tailors made shirts are made to order. Our friends who find tonse houses tbe most nwluced prices that can lie obtained at the pres­ ent Great stoke of p<*cket handker­ chiefs under shirts of all kinds good which belong in our stock.’ “A saddler with a large stock of Spanish saddles on band has hung out this sign: ■ “ ‘Good friends Americans this is tbe saddle much used by the patriot Cu­ bans and esjieclally the great general Maximo Gomez. Of the true Cuban saddle, in black leather, it Is more serviceable and handsome as any sad­ dle In Cuba.’ ” The homesteaders of the state now hold 179,$19 acres of land in the north­ ern counties and are cultivating a large the visitors.

Given h Hearty Reception by the Cltlxene Hollowed by a Banquet at the Opera House. Thursday last will be a day long to be remembered by the boys ot_ the 85th Mich. Volunteers of this county, who were entertained by the citizens of Has­ tings. The occasion was made all the more pleasant for them by the presence of their popular aod efficient Colonel, the Hon. E. M. Irish, of Kalamazoo. lu honor of the event the business places were decorated with flags and bunting, and the event was enlivened by the city band and that of Middleville, bleb arrived with a large delegation of citizens from Middleville in the evening. The day was given over to a general meeting of the boys and their friends, the G. A. IL hall being open all day for the reception of visitors and friends of the boys. At 3:45 the boys formed in line and marched to the C. K. dt S. depot to meet Col. Irish, and bis popularity among the soldiers of bis regiment was attested by the hearty reception that he received. Forming in line the procession marched through the streets to tbe Hastings house where the party disbanded. At 5 o’clock all marched to the opera house building where an elegant banquet was spread by tbe ladies of the Relief Corps. Here many ,of the citizens of the city repaired and refreshed themselves, and joined in the welcome extended the returned soldiers. After tbe banquet a reception was given the boys in tbe office of the opera house building, and citizens availed themselves of again greeting the soldiers. About 7:30 all adjourned to the opera bouse where the program of tbe evening was carried out, Hon. P. f. Colgrove acting as Master of Ceremonies. A male quartette, composed of Messrs Chas. Lewis, Dr. Gammon, J. C. Ketcham, and Wm. Sbulters sang ••Michigan” after which Rev.1 Geo. Bullen, pastor of tbe M. E. church, offered prayer. Judge Clement Smith delivered the “Address of Welcome” and complimented the boys upon tbe fact that during all oMbeir service he had not seen a word in \the newspapers tending to discredit their behavior, but on the contrary had HASTINGS.

In behalf of the company he thanked tbe citizens of Has­ tings for their kind reception, which was highly appreciated. He gave some in­ sight Into army life and told of a practical joke played upon one of the officers of tbe company. It seems that the camp, or at least a portion of it, had become in­ fested with the proverbial “graybaek” and some of the boys had taken pains to American rifle, also made a smoke so deuse that shooting through it with ac­ curacy was impossible, and it at once disclosed to tbe enemy the exact location of the American soldiers, and made them targets for tbe Spaniards. Tbe Colonel closed bls remarks with many amusing Incidents of army life that brought smiles to tbe faces of tbe boys, and especially as the name of one soldier by the name of "Plunkett” who spent the most of bls lime lu the guard house, was mentioned. He also complimented the boys of the 35th very highly on their good behavior, BY FIVE PERSONS AROUND GUN LAKE. many of the boys of Cq.

Only two or three years ago an assault, very similar in many ways, was committed upon Peter Jackson, of Maple Grove, an inoffensive old man, who was supposed to have a large amount of money about the house, to the one committed in Assyria Thursday last John Haverstraw is an old man over 70 years old, living in the southwest corner of Assyria township, within 20 rods of tbe county line. His wife is dead and he lives alone in a little one-room frame house. His children live in that locality we understand, though not at home. . The old gentleman' has 80 acres of land, and In addition draws a pension. Thursday evening about half post seven o’clock three fellows called at his bouse and asked for a drink of water. The old gentlemen taking them at their word and oonsiderlBg ’ that they were In earnest, told them that tbe water in the pall was warm, but that he would get some fresh. Taking the pail and starting to tbe well, back of the bouse, tbe fellows following him until out of the building. While his back was tamed one of the fellows grabbed him around the waist and arms, putting his hand over his mouth at the same time to prevent any outcry. Having the old man In* this position^ tbe brute that held him spoke to his accomplice and said. “Give it to him.” A second Invitation was not needed, and the brutes commenced a most das­ tardly assault upon their aged victim. One of them struck him in tbe face and on tbe head with bls fists, making the blood flow freely, and dazing him, while another struck him in tbe face with a club, cutting a long gash across the fore­ head, and duwn across the nose. They then commenced to kick him in the stomach and on the body. After they did all of this they threw him down, and commenced to jump on him, and kick him while prostrate. They then tied his bands with cords, and bound his legs together with a shawl strap. All of this happened out of doors, near the well, the ground being covered with blood. More dead than alive tbe brutes carried him into tbe house, where a towel was stuffed In his mouth, and two pillow cases were tied, over his head, after which he was thrown under a table in tbe little room. Tbe villains then pulled down the curtains, lighted a lamp, and commenced a search of tbe bouse for money. They ransacked the bureau and found $25 In cash, after which they searched the body of the old man and found $5 more. After making quite a thorough search they came back to their bruised and bleed­ ing victim and asked him where his money was. He told them that they had all the money that was in the house, but instead of satisfying them, It only served to enrage them, for they again commenced their dastardardly treatment, by pounding and kicking him unmercifully. Again they searched, and again they in­ sisted that he tell them where his money was, only to meet with tbe reply that they had all of his money, and again he was kicked and jumped upon. This kind of treatment was continued until after 9 o’clock, and for over an hour and a half tbe old man was tortured by these brutal fiends, who finally gave up, believing that they bad killed the old man. and that further search was useless. are ve.-y conflicting. .

Nottiing ID It. y A very sensational article appeared tn tbe Kalamazoo paners recently in reference to a ward of the State Public School who had been left in the depot of that city. Tbe circumstances briefly stated are that the agent of Barry county was to return * ward to the State School, and was Inrortoed that Mr. Slinger would be in Kalama­ zoo at a certain date and take charge of tbe child. But Mr. Slinger came home by an­ other route. The Barry county agent sup­ posed Mr. Slinger would arrive op the 4 p. m. train, and wishing to take the 2 p. m. train home asked tbe station agent to see to tbe child tor the next two hours which he readily promised to do. Tbe child waa furnished a goud dinner by tbe Barry county agent When Mr. Slinger did not. arrive at 4 p. m. train the station agent telephoned Mr. Merrill, who bad formerly, been tbe county agent for Kalamazoo, but Mr. Robinson is tbe present agent. Mr. Merrill took tbe child home with him and the next morning Mr. Robinson was In formed about tbe matter and wired the State School, and Mr. Slinger went to Kalamazoo the same day and brought th*, child home with him. Tbe child was well taken care of all the time, andltbe sensa­ tional article Caused much expense and * good deal of anxiety when there was really nothing in the whole matter to amke * particle of trouble. Mr. T. A. Bllto^ spent two days In looking Into tbe matter and found out the above facts.—Coldwater Courier Republican. Blowing out tbe light, they took the lan­ Frob.t.

Washington, April 12.—The complete restoration of peace between the United States and Spain was effected Tuesday at 3:34 p. m. The ceremony of ex­ changing ratifications of the treaties of peace occurred at the executive man­ sion, when the president handed to M. Cam bon, the French ambassador, the American copy of the treaty, and the ambassador in turn gave to the presi­ dent the Spanish copy of the treaty, properly attested by the queen regent and premier of Spain. This ceremony ATTORNEYS was devoid of all display, but made an impressive closing scene in the nego­ dward a taggert tiations which again bring the two na­ LOYAL E. KNAPPBN tions together. ARTHUR C.

Washington, April 14. — Admiral Kautz’ actions in Samoa, as far as they are set forth in the official dispatches, are approved. He was instructed by the lust mail steamer from Auckland to avoid needless collisions, but tp protect property and life until the three treaty powers decided how to deal with the situation. No further instructions have yet been sent to Ijim, and if any go for­ ward by cable within the next 24 hours, which is the limit of time available if the outgoing steamer ft to be caught at Auckland, they will be simply a rep­ etition of former orders. Department officials point out that from accounts so far received the admiral appears to have acted in conjunction with the British forces only in pursuance of the policy of defense of foreign interests. It is expected that he will not abate bis efforts to secure the restoration of peace, and it is probable that when the high commission arrives at Apia it will find its work facilitated through the suppression of the rebellion. Washington, April 15.—After hearing Friday morning from the British and German embassies, the state depart­ ment was enabled to announce positive­ ly and finally that the three parties to the Berlin treaty had agreed upon the instructions to be given their Samoan commissioners, and that it was certain that the commission would leave San Francisco on the 25th Inst, for Samoa on the Badger.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon­ don Stationery Journal says that Pariala»8 are using a-new kind of writing or drawing paper, which Is the inven­ tion of an Italian, and is called Panmetallophlle.« The peculiarity of this is that no pencil Is needed, but it can be written on with any pointed instru­ ment of any metal except one of iron. No blotting paper is required if ink is used Instead of a pencil. Hence, there is, the Inventor declares, a double source of economy, since neither a lead pencil nor blotting paper Is needed. $100 Rcwanl |IOO.

One of the moat gratifying features of tbe 'Chicago election was the overwhelming vie feat of that arrant anarchist and trou<ble-bceeder John P. Altgold. The revolu­ tionary Chicago platfom of 1896 was inspired by him and in his canvas for -mayor be emphatically endorsed that platform and appealed for votes. He -plead for support for himself as an enxlofsement of W. J. Bryan, and his dismal 'defeat was an emphatic expression from Rhe people of Chicago that cannot but (have a dampening effect upon the future. ’ It is stated, with how much truth we do mot know, that it cost tbe state of Michigan ^almost as much to put five regiments in the ffietd for the late Spanish war as it did to 'equip tbe 80 Regiments for the Civil war, umder Ex-Gov.

The trouble for them te that the tariff te doing 'precisely what Dingley, the maker of the law, said it would do—It te Increasing tbe Govern­ ment’s income enormously. On the Item of usual receipts there will be a surplus for tbe month of more than SS,000.000. Tbe customs revenues are 85,000,000 more than they were for March a year ago. Except for the months of March, April and June of 1897, when importers were rushing In goods to anticipate the ’ new Tariff law, the customs receipts for March are larger than for any month of tbe Wilson law. At present tbe internal revenue war taxes are paying tbe ex­ penses of the war, so the increase of customs receipts applies directly to clos­ ing tbe deficit gap on other accounts. It te an just as it was predicted by Mr. Dingley. A Protective duty does make revenue. It puts our wage-earners to work and it gives them money with which to buy not only home products, but im­ ports. This te what disturbs tbe appe­ tites of the Free-Traders. They dread to see the approach of tbe day when Chore will be no more deficits, for then they can have no hops of a Democratic Con­ gress victory in 1900.

Question sur to Its Being; * Head Cover Raised in a Hartford Courtroom. The propriety of spectators wearing skull caps in sessions of the court* ha* been somewhat discussed by attaches of the courts in the county building and others during the last few days. The discussion was brought about by.an in­ cident which occurred in Judge Case’s court recently. Inquiry shows that the officer of the court had good precedent for preventing one of the spectators from wearing a skull cap during the session. It was on one of the days recently when the jury was in attendance that a tall and aged man walked into tbe courtroom a few minutes after a case had been taken up for trial. As soon as he got inside the door he took off his overcoat and sat in one of the seats without the bar. He had no sooner* seated himself than he put his hand in the pocket of his overcoat, which was lying on the seat beside him. He took from the pocket a skull cap, placed It upon his head and then gave his un­ divided attention to the witness upon the witness stand. The court officer waa surveying the spectator all the time and presently left his station and told the spectator that he would have to remove the cap from his head. “I am a clergyman,” said the spec­ tator, ‘‘and I wear this cap in church. I think I should be permitted to wear it here.” “All heads must be uncovered in co^rt,” said the officer. **If I am not permitted to wear the cap I shall have to go out,” said the tall man. “I can’t help that,” said the officer. "“You must uncover your head if you •tay.” Tbe man left tbe courtroom in haste and hurried from the building. He seemed to be a stranger-to everyone, and he has not made his appearance in the courtroom since that time. Although skull caps are quite gen­ erally worn in halls and other public places, they are seldom noticed in •courtrooms. Judge Case said, when a*ked of the propriety of spectators wearing skull caps in court, fthat he knew of no rule against it. He said that if a man was in the habit ot wearing a skull cap and his health de­ manded that he wear it, be did not know why it could not be worn under each conditions. If a man wanted to |wear a cap in court through fancy, {Judge Case thought that would be dif­ iferent. He did not know of the inci­ dent regarding the skull cap In his coart until aftendt bad happened. Had be known he would have allowed the mn to remain and wear the cap. Another member of the judiciary, when, spoken to of the matter, said khat he saw no impropriety in the [wearing of a skull cap in court. He cot know that he had ever seen a ■hull cap worn in court. If he had he could not recall it, but if a person’s mealtli was such as to demand the wear­ ing of one he. could see no objection to IL—Hartford (Conn.) Courant. GALEJWG. CO. fferenee of Opialoa Between the Two Generals—Lawton Say* 1OO,OOO Men Are Needed—Insurgenta ConcentrnSinv—Otla Resnrdi the Sltnntlon aa Hnconrrarln*. Manila, April 17.—Gen. Lawton’s ex­ pedition returns to Manila from La de Guna province by the express command of Gen. Otis. Santa Cruz and the other villages taken by the expedition under the old Indian fighter are being com­ pletely evacuated. There is a decideddifference of opinion between Gen. Otis and Gen. Lawton over the evacua­ tion of these villages. Gen. Lawton claims Santa Cruz at least should be held with an American garrison. In his judgment the possession of Santa Cruz is most important strategically, as it commands the entire La de Guna dis­ trict. With the Americans in control of Santa Cruz, he says, they would be in a position easily and effectually t© intercept any communication between the insurgents of .the northern and southern portions of the island of Luzon. Gen. Otis defends his order for the evacuation of the captured villages by declaring he considers it impracticable at present to spare a sufficient number of troops to garrison Santa Cruz, He says the plan of campaign he has adopted contemplates a continuation of the fighting in the northern portion of the island, and that every man of the available force will be needed in that locality. Says 100,000 Men whl Be Needed. Gen. Lawton made a statement Sun­ day, the publication of which he au­ thorized. He said that in his opinion it would be necessary for the United States to send 100,000 troops to the Philippine islands if the natives con­ tinued hostile. He said that it was es­ sential to garrison all the cities cap­ tured or that are to be captured in the future operations if the insurrection was to be put down. ’ Insurgent* Concentrating. Manila, April 17.—During the ab­ sence of Maj. Gen. Lawton's expedition to the Santa Cruz district, on the south­ eastern side of Laguna de Bay, the in­ surgents have been concentrating at the northern end of the lake, near Pasig and the American scouts report that several thousand are already there. Gen. ‘Lawton’s expedition is now on its way back. Two hundred and fifty Chinamen from Santa Cruz have ar­ rived hertf. They left the town owing to their fear that the rebels, on reenter­ ing it, would wreak vengeance upon them for favoring the Americans. Well. April 11-D. C.

AN IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL Manila, April 17.—Gen. Otis regards the situation here cheerfully, and feels that with the work already done and that which he expects certainly to ac­ complish, the rebels will eventually be subdued forever. He said: "The Insurgents are moving eastward, and will soon be In the mount.! Ins. There they will become merely bands of robbers and will tight among themselves. They have no united army anywhere, yet they will be troublesome, and we he/0, a strong force to deal with the robber gloups. We shall not atop our operations because of the rainy season. The rebels are counting upon a cessation of hostilities on our part, but we intend to keep right on. We shall wedge the army between them and the north, as well as cutting jhe island in two here by our forces. The problem the government is now facing is that of destroying the pow­ erful bands of robbers that are scattered in all directions. We have smashed the insurgent government, but I believe that it will be a long time before we pacify the whole of Luzon." Gen. Otis said that he could not dis­ cuss his plans in detail, but it is known that a large force will soon go by sea and disembark north of Aguinaldo’s forces. Then Aguinaldo will be be­ tween the two lines and will find him­ self in a most unpleasant and dangerous position. Lut Rltr« Over the Remalni of Late Justice Field Are Held in Waililngton.

To live on exactly the same food, without the slightest change from day to day and. year to year, would seem to the average observer a very monot­ onous proceeding indeed, but, never­ theless, this course has been adopted, by several eccentric people, who, strange to say, have thriven wonder­ fully on tjte same. A certain Frenchman dined for 25 years on the same dish every day of his life—namely, “Boeuf a la mode,” the meat being accompanied by pota­ toes, bread, and a flask of claret Throughout tbe whole‘of the thne mentioned, except when sick and dif­ ferent food was prescribed by the doc­ tor. be stuck to this regimen, and, cu­ riously enough, never appeared to tire of It The same extraordinary method was adopted by a resident In Bristol dur­ ing the early part of the century, though in his case a beefsteak was substituted for the. other dish. Tbe number of steaks which he must have consumed in the 45 years during which he persisted in his eccentricity must have amounted to something stupend­ ous, and one may conceive that at tbe end ot 'his life' he was more like an ox than a man. A gentleman known to the writer has sifoslsted on nuts, and nuts alone, for a considerable number of years. He avers that a great deal of nourish­ ment is derived from these articles, and that hr has never had a day’s ill­ ness since he adopted his remarkable regimen. Nuts are excellent things in their way, and perhaps the best part of a good dinner is the “walnut and wine" section; but walnuts for break­ fast, supper, lunch and dinner will strike the average man as slightly monotonous. The writer himself would certainly not undertake such a course of food “for nuts." Among the many curious specimens of the vegetable kingdom found In South Africa is a plant, known to the botanists as the auragia albens, which Is easily acclimated wherever there is no frost. This valuable plant Is culti­ vated in New Zealand with great care and on a large scale, for it has the singular property of destroying the moths that infest vegetation. It pro­ duces a large number of whitish flow­ ers of an agreeable odor, which at­ tract Insects. On a'summer evening may be seen bushes of the auragia cov­ ered with moths, which by the follow­ ing morning have quite disappeared. Tbe action of the flower Is quite me­ chanical; the calyx is deep, and the nectar for which the moth risks Its frail life is placed at the base of the tube. Attracted by the sight and the powerful perfume of this nectar, the poor moth penetrates Into the calyx and pushes forward its proboscis to get the precious food, but as it reaches the goal of its ambition it is seized by two solid jaws that guard the passage and that keep the insect prisoner until it dies. About Sir Henry Hawkina. The resignation In England of Sir Henry Hawkins, one of the wittiest and most noted judges of the day. has given rise to many anecdotes. He Is a man who believes In stern justice and always sentenced criminals to th6 full extent of his power. “Oh, my lord," whined a swindler whom he had just given seven years. “I’ll never live half of that time." The Judge took another look at him and answered: “I don’t think It Is at all desirable that you should." On another occasion the usual formality was gone through of asking a prisoner who had been found guilty if he had anything to say. -Striking a theatrical posture, and with' his right hand Ln the air, the man exclaimed: “May the Almighty strike me dead If I -don’t speak the truth. I am Inno­ cent of-this crime." Judge Hawkins said nothing for a minute. Then, af­ ter glancing at the clock, he observed, In his most Impressive tones: “Since the Almighty lias not thought fit to Intervene I will now proceed to pass sentence." _____________________ , 1,1 Trains will be run at the couvenlenc to the Company. who reserve the right to chants the time al such trains without notice.

They lived together as one family until afterward, leaving an Infant daughter Sa­ rah. In 1849 he married Rebecah Flin of Ohio and unto them were born eight children, six sons, Edgar, Fred. Walter. Herbert. Frank and Charles and two daughters. Cora and Nettie. He helped to organize tbe first township In the southwest corner of tbe county, which comprised the now townships of Barry, Prairieville, Hope and Orangeville. It was named Barry and from all that territory 17 votes were polled at the first township meeting. He was often elected to the office of clerk in this township and afterward in tbe township of Prairieville and Orange, vllle, before they were divided, and was elected several years as supervisor of Orangeville. It may be said of blm truthfully that patience bad wrought her perfect work In him. I was intimately acquainted with blm for tbe past sixty years and never saw him show the least exhibition of impatience or utter a profane word, but was one of tbe kindest of fathers and most acommodatlng and agreeable neighbor one could wish to be associated with and the Golden Rule was exemplified in bis daily life. Hie funeral was well attended by a large circle of mourning friends, all his child­ ren being present. Those from abroad were Hon. B. A. Nevins. Arthur and Chas, Nevins and wives of Otsego, A. E.

Tbe letter was sentont with a prisoner that bad just been released, but before he was let go tbe officers searched him and found the letter written by Sllgh. As seen as the assault was made on the old man, tbe officers In Battle Creek at once recalled tbe letter written by Sllgh, and this fur­ nished the clue that led to tbe arrest of the brothers. They were brought back to Calhoun county, and now languish In jail at Marshall, One of them claims to be 30 years old and the other 20 years. It will remembered that last week the officers arrested three men, and held them for.this erime. The Sligbs heard of it, and safter reaching Chicago, this fact led them to “boasting” as to what they had done, as they felt secure after the other parties had been arrested. In Chicago they told the particulars of the robbery, saying that the old man refused to tell where bis money was, so they “gave hint a free pass” meaning that they had killed him. They supposed that they had killed the victim of their assault.

MICHIGAN, three years ing up or annexing odd, out-of-the:way corners of the world, and setting them­ selves up as independent sovereigns. Only a few months back attention was called, through the medium of a con­ sular report, to the case of a French­ man who had purchased a small Island near Newfoundland and built thereon a fort He also. It is said, hoisted the tri-color, and enlisted under its folds seventeen men and a boy. Some of the London dallies seemed inclined for awhile to treat this little burlesque au serleux. Of course. It all mattered not one jot. Indeed, there must be hun­ dreds of these baby empires scattered about the globe. There is one off Malta. An Italian count bought a tiny rock islet, built upon It a handsome castellated resi­ dence, constructed a bastion, mounted four rifled cannons, and proclaimed himself monarch of all he surveyed. The Maltese military authorities ob­ jected. however, to the cannons, and these are now represented by painted wooden dummies. They look very for­ midable, though, seen from the sea. Although it is not officially recog­ nised by our government. It is never­ theless a fact that a Uny British em­ pire exists almost in the very center of German East Africa. It is only three square miles in extent, and is administered and governed by a Scotchman named Macpherson, who obtained it by a treaty from the orig­ inal owners of the soil. Subject only to the nominal approval of the Ger­ man Imperial high commissioner, the Gaelic monarch makes his own laws, punishes evil-doers, and even coins his own money. The latter, however, does not pass current outside his own “do­ minions." Curiously enough, the above is not the only Macpherson who is a “king" in his own right, for another of that name rules over Ducie Island, an Iso­ lated atoll in the southern Pacific. His “subjects” consist of bls wife and daughters, and some twenty coolies, all of whom are engaged in the prepara­ tion of copra. From here to Inacces­ sible island, a rugged wave-lashed, storm-rent rock in the southern Atlan­ tic, is a far cry. Yet even here an "empire” has been founded, although its head and chief, an Englishman named Collins, can boast of but four subjects all told. They are his wife, two grown-up sons, and a sailor who was shipwrecked there some years ago. and elected to throw in his lot with the islanders. The little colony gains a living by harpooning the seals and sea-elephants that visit the place in large numbers at certain seasons of the year. Even Europe—military-ridden, blood­ stained Europe—can boast of more than one baby-empire. There is, of course, first of all, Monaco, on the Mediterranean, between France and Italy. It is s about three miles long by one and a half broad, and the whole available space being occupied by pri­ vate residences, boarding houses, and hotels. It presents the curious specta­ cle of a country without either agricul­ ture, trade, or manufacture. Never­ theless, It manages to support a pop­ ulation of some 13,000 souls, and an "army” of 126 men. Andorra and San Marino are miniature republics. The first-named nestles among the Pyre­ nean mountains, and has an area of 175 square miles, and a population of about 6,000. The latter, beautifully situated in the hills near Riminii. on the Adriatic. Is governed by two “regents” and a council of sixty. Al­ though the area is but 33 square miles, and the whole opulation barely exceeds 8.000 souls, there is an army command­ ed by several “generals.” and titles and decorations are freely bestowed for a consideration. The capital also boasts of a “fortified" castle, with a two-feet-deep moat and “property" dunge< ns. Liechtenstein, a tiny prin­ cipality on the upper Rhine, another nominally Independent state, between the Tyrol and Switxerland. is probably tbe only country in the world -whqse Inhabitants pay absolutely no taxes of any kind, either directly or Indirectly. They are also free from the bugbear of conscription, which overshadows practically all the rest of contlental Europe. Luxemburg, created au Inde­ pendent state by the treaty of London In 1867. , Is less fortunate that her neighbor in this respect, but her stand­ ing army only numbers 325 men.

Poplar City, III., April 10.—Tbe peo­ ple here are talking of tbe remarkable case of Mrs. J. S. Murdock, wbo has been brought from sickness of long duration to good health. They regard It as nothing short of a miracle. But a short time ago they knew her as a frail, helpless, suffer­ ing woman. Now they see in her a most wonderful change. Her suffering is over, she is rapidly regaining her lost strength and she is able to help herself. Life was formerly a burden, now it is a pleasure to her. Mr. Murdock, speaking of tbe case, said: “My wile was for four years unable to raise her bands to her head, and could not dress or undress herself without aid. She was in constant misery. Nothing that she took for her trouble helped her, until one day I brought home two box­ es of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, which bad been highly recommended by persons who bad cured themselves of kidney diseases with IL After she bad taken the first box she was able to raise her bands to her bead and twist her hair. She is able to dress herself and perform house­ hold duties, and life has again taken on a bright hue for her. It Is certainly a miracle, and Dodd’s Kidney Pills are responsible for It.” Every form of Kidney Disease is per­ manently cured by Dodd’s Kidney Pills. This great remedy has never been baffled. It has cured hundreds after they have been given up by tbe doctors to die. Dodd’s Kidney Pills are sold by drug­ gists at 50 cents a box or six boxes for 82.50.

The difficulties experienced In carrying the rend across the Oxus river were great, for tbe river is nearly three miles wide nt the point of crossing. A series of bridges resting on dams was made, the first 5,470 feet, the Others from 200 to JWO feet long. The bridge is of wood, -estlng on piles, and the whole of the material had to be brought from Rus­ sia. as there is no timber in central Asia The caustant shifting of the sand in the desert the road runs through was dangerous and disheartening.

The line is already be­ ing worked at a profit, for in 1890 3 pei cent was the amount it paid, and to­ day that sum Is probably doubled.

More than a dozen of the injured will die. Although rescuers have been searching the ruins ever since the storm spent its fury, many are still missing and it is thought that a considerable number of the unfortunates were con­ sumed in the flames that broke out soon after the storm ceased. The work of rescue continues, but it may be days before the total number of victims is known. Chillicothe, Mo., April 29.—Scenes of utter distress and desolation were pic­ tured Friday in the little tornado swept bnrgof Newtown, 40 miles north, on the St. Paul railway. A day of ceaselesi search among the ruins and work for the injured and suffering followed a night of gloom and despair. Fifty fami­ lies are homeless. There are about 15 dead and over 30 Injured, while half oi the place is in ruins,\ A complete list of casualties will not be known for several St. Louis, April 29.—According to the best information, the storm which caused so much loss of life and destruc­ tion of property in northern Missouri originated in Nebraska. Its course was southwest through western Iowa to the Missouri state line, thence through Harrison, Grundy, Sullivan, Linn, Ma­ con. Shelby and Marion counties, north and west through Lewis, Knox, Adair, Sullivan and Putnam counties. When the storm retraced its course it was al­ most. parallel with the other track traversed, and it was then that Kirks­ ville and Newtown were struck.

Hutchinson. M. D. Manila, April 2U.—Col. Argueile* and Lieut. Bernal, member* f>t insurgent Gen. Luna** staff, arrived yesterday and consuilted with Gen. OU* regarding peace fiegoUationa.' •- „ The rebel colonel informed Gen. Otis that he had been directed by his chief to say that he desired to end the war. It was necessary for Aguinaldo, they said, to bring the matter before tbe Filipino congreas, and that body had been called tameet on May 1 to consider terms of peace. It was desired that the American commander should direct that there be no further aggreaaive measures on the part of hi* force* for two weeks, in order that the congress could be brought together and the im­ portant matter discussed. Gen. Otte Replies. Gen. Otis heard the statements of the native soldier* with the greatest cour­ tesy. When he replied it was with an impressive sternness. He said: “Tell your general that he must lay down hl* arm* without any reservation whatever. I cannot recognise the Fllipinc government or it* congress. If you wish peace, surrender. You will be allowed per­ fect amnesty. There will be no punish, ment for acts already committed. America forgives you. The proclama^on issued by niy government Is sincere, and you shall share with our own people tbe fullest lib­ erty. But now you must make a complete and unreserved surrender. You are com­ pelled to admit that you are defeated. the way from the United States, and there is nothing for you to do but surrender. This la absolute.” Col. Argueleses and his coxnpanior listened with rapt attention to tht words of the American commander. Il was plain that they were seriously im­ pressed. The colonel, in reply, said that he was not in a position to make a defi­ nite answer to the demand. He saic that he would return to his leader, anc that he and the lieutenant might be ex­ pected back with another proposition With that the interview ended. Washington, .ipm 29.—The end ol the Filigino insurrection i is in sight, in the opinion of anny and pavy officials. A telegram received from Gen. OtisFri day announces that Aguinaldo hac taken what is regarded as the first step towards surrendering — namely, re­ questing a cessation ol hostilities. Sec­ retary Alger said as the department closed that while it could not be said that peace was amured, he regarded the prospects as of the brightest and felt confident that the end-of the insurrec­ tion was near. To his mind there would be a repetition of the negotiation! which were had before Santiago. DENTISTS R.bl’HNSON,D. D. S. I •Hastings, Mich. (fffice over the National Bank. f’ U • E.WlLLlbUN, D. D. S.

ONLY TWO-BARRELED C AHRON. •• The old double-barreled eannon of the Mitchell Thunderbolts is now owned by the city, and is on the city hall Jot. i Capt. Barnett has been instructed to have the cannon mounted at the head of the park on College avenue, nearthe confederate monument. There is a history of unique interest that goes, along with this old cannon. In the first place, it is the only double­ barreled cannon in .thfe world. In the next place, it was invented with a pe­ culiar idea in the mind of the in­ ventor. It belonged to the Mitchell . Thunderbolts, a company of old men organized here in 1863 purely for home defense. One of the company, Mr. John ' .Gillejand, invented this cannon, and had fit east at the Athens foundry. Thfc idea of Mr. Gilleland was one of considerable ingenuity. A 50-foot chaii with the ends attached to two caunpn halls was the charge, and the idea of the inventor was that when the cannon balls came out of the muzzle of the cannon they would have a tend«ncy| to diverge, draw the chain taut .and mow down an entire company. The •company took the cannon out into the country near Athens one day to test it. 'It was properly charged, and was touched off with great ceremony. One of the balls got a little ahead of the (©the#, and then the mischief was to jpay. It had a kind of circular motion ■and plowed up about a quarter of an •ere of ground, the members of the .company in the meantime scattering dn all directions to keep from being hit Iby the flying chain. The old cannon was never used after that except at an occasion al democratic jubilee, when charges of powder would .'be ffred. About five. years ago the •old cannon disappeared, and not until a few days ago did our people know where it was. Last week it turned up in a Junkshop, but it was promptly pur­ chased by the city. Mr. Neumyer, who owned the cannon, had been offered $30 lor it, but when he learned that it was a rare old relic and our people Whnted to keep it he promptly turned down ■the offer and swapped it to the city for an oil bell.—Athens (Ga.) Banner. P > r * - 1___ ______»----------------------- It 18 a well-known fact that no man IMBg •• delights in rigging hluwelr out In new costumes and uniforma as bis majesty tbe German emperor, and It Is even maliciously said that his satis­ faction ujHJn being made an admiral or a general in a foreign service hns more to do with the trying on of the new regalia than with the honor Itself.However this may be, says the New York Times, It Is a fact that Kaiser Wilhelm Is the most photographed man In Europe, not alone by the “wap-shottUts*".bnt by the numerous court pho­ tographers, who are commanded to ap­ pear at certain times and places and for whom tbe kaiser poses with great gusto. While at tbe chateau of Wilhelmshohe. near Cassel, this summer, his majesty was measured for his new tropical uniforms, to be worn during the much-talked-of trip to < the Holy land. The newspapers state that over 60 different poses were taken by Pho­ tographer Teligmtnn in the courtyard of the chateau, one of which represents the emperor In the tropical uniform of a Prussian general. Ws majesty’s known predilection for the picturesque is well exemplified by his clioice of a bodyguard for his trip, a portion of which consists of a company of colo­ nial troops.whose gala uniform Is gray, with a rakish slouch hat with a large feather In it, and high ytllow boots. The ostensible object of the journey to Palestine is the dedication of tbe German Protestant Church of the Re­ deemer, which will be performed with great ceremony in the presence of their, majesties. Behind this, it is generally conceded, lurk many other considera­ tions of a political and commercial character. That a high official of the railway department is to accompany the expedition Is looked upon In polit­ ical circles as significant, and in the opinion of most people there can be no manner of doubt that his majesty of Germany intends to bring back advan­ tages that will corer tbe vast expenses of the Journey a thousand times over. T- 4--, «-* be on the safe aide, there art several who hare a “claim" in that direction, gays the Sum But not all of them are able to sense the joke when it happens to be on t^em. Thia woman, however, ha& this ability and proves it by telling this story about herself: “AU on« time," she says, "we had a colored butler who stayed with us for years, and who admired my husband im­ mensely. He thought that Dr. H—— was a marvel of manly beauty, as well as the embodiment of all the virtues, domestic, professional and otherwise. Of course, I quite agreed with the but­ ler on this point, but the fact is, I some­ times pined to have him pass his en­ thusiastic compliments around to the family, and not bestow them all on the doctor. Bo one morning, when Dr. •H------- had just left the breakfast table, and was even then to be seen, an impos­ ing picture, as he stood cm the front steps drawing on his gloves, I remarked to James: “ ‘Dr. H------- is a handsome man, isn’t her “’Yes, ma’am! ’Deed an’ he is, ma’am!’ with gratifying enthusiasm. “Then, hoping to get a rise from James, I added with an absent-minded air as if I scarcely knew what I said tut was just uttering my inmost thoughts: “ ’How in the world do you suppose that such a handsome man as Dr. H------ever happened to marry such a homely woman ns I ami’ “Well, James just stopped abort and rolled his eyes and shook his head as if he gave it up. Then he ejaculated: “ *Gawd knows, ma'amL’ ” Happy Chaaee. “Your money or your life!" cried the robber. “Ha, hal" laughed the artist, and he drew a pistol.

We have ail heard the old wheeze of taming a lion dr tiger by steadily keeping your eye fixed on him. Ac­ cording to one of the keepers at Bar­ num’s a more effective method is a cigar or cigarette. “Nearly every wild beast that I have ever come across,” said this offi­ cial to the writer the other day. "Is fond of tobacco in some shape or form. I made this discovery quite accident­ ally. Once, when I was in America with this show, one of the visitors who was smoking a cigar puffed some of the smoke into the lion’s face as he lay asleep in the cage. I expected to see a real riot, but instead of that the lion, after giving a couple of sneezes, moved quietly up to the liars and raised his nose sniffingiy as If asking for a second dose. I have tried the exp^tmvnt on all sorts of wild ani­ mals sipce, and I have found that mostv of them enjoy thoroughly a big sniff' of tobacco. We had a bear here once that used to nab his nose and back against the bars of his cage, just like a cat asking to be stroked, whenever any one smoking a cigar came near him. Antelopes and wild'goats aren’t satisfied with the mere whiff. If you give them a cigar of cigarette they will swallow it eagerly, and. what is more, seem to suffer no bad effects from their meal.’’ Mre. Crabshaw—-Woman is at laat having her day.

Acetylene Gas I Business men often express the opinion that there, is one thing which will prevent women from completely filling man’s place in the business i//l world — they can’t be de­ ? pended upon because they are sick too often. It is true that many women are compelled to look forward to times when they are unable to attend to social or business duties.

The property damage is known tc reach the thousands, though the only lives lost, so far as known, were thost of Mrs. Rolla Livingston and her fiveyear-old boy. The woman saw the fire coming and ran to a pasture to release the family stock. The boy followed her and both were knocked down by the terrified an­ imals. The fire passed over them be­ fore they could get out of the way. The body of the boy was almost consumed, and Mrs. Livingston lived but u few hours. A number of large bunches of cattle were overtaken and consumed in the path of the seething mass carried along j in the teeth of the tornado. A largt number of families escaped only by racing beyond the limits of the track of the storm. The path of the fire was nearly one mile wide and the farmers beyond tht | fire belt managed to put out tiie flames along the bottoms after the tornado ’ had passed over. " The Niagara 'Falls Route” Some of the losses are: Raila Living-, ston, home nnd stock, $15,000. Stanley Martin, home, granary, stock and farm implements, $20,000. * Stations.

A reporter who spent Christmas among the Pennsylvania Germans of Lancaster county discovered what will probably be to most people a distinc­ tively new use for sauerkraut, a native production of old Lancaster and a staple article of food, says tbe Pitts­ burgh Times. He had ea’.ied to see an old friend who keeps a dairy and found the dairymen. In the act of taking great bunches of succulent cabbagcutrom a barrel in the cellar. The odor prevailed the neighborhood and made glad the nostrils of every true and loyal Penn­ sylvania "Dutchman” within a distance of about half a mile. The reporter waa astonished when the dairyman picked up a bucketful of sauerkraut and carried i‘- to his cow stables. The second animal In the long row of stall* was a big, strong-horned cow. Her head waa hang’ng low under the manger, although there was a plen­ tiful supply of hay in the rack above. Her ears had a dejected droop and her eves were half closed. She was evident­ ly a very rick cow at a time when she should have been In good spirits, for among the Pennsylvania Germanail is still a popular belied that on Christmas eve the cows in their stalls may be heard to talk to each other of the great event the day commemorate*. Tbe bucketful of sauerkraut was dumped into the manger. The cow, by some peculiar system of feeding, first gave evidence of her appreciation by slowly switching her tail, which had be­ fore hung limp end lifeless. Then she raised her bead, poked her great muzzle Into the kraut and slowly began to xntinch the stuff. Fifteen minutes later ft' looked quite happy. She had eaten all the kraut and was taking great mouthfuls of the hay.

There is not the slightest doubt that the doctors do more harm than good in treating Contagious Blood Poison; many victims of this loathsome disease would be much better off to-dav if they had never allowed them­ selves to De dosed on mercury and potash, the only remedies which the doctors ever give for blood poison. . 4 The doctors are wholly unable to get rid of this vile poison, and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the disease—the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the system, and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash and mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out into Sores, and the fight is oontinued indefinitely, the drugs doing the system more damage than the disease itself. « MtrH. L. Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark, N. J., says: “I had spent a hundred dollars with the doctors, when I realised that they could do me no good. I had large spots all over my body, and these soon broke out into running sores, and I endured all the suffering which this vile disease pro­ duces. I decided to try ST 8. 8. as a last resort, and was soon greatlv improved. . I followed closely your ’Direc­ tions for Self-Treatment,* and the large splotches on my chest began to grow paler and smaller, and before long disappeared entirely. I was soon cured perfectly and my skin has been aa.clear as glass ever since. I cured my­ self at home, after the doctors had failed completely.” It is valuable time thrown away to expect the doctors to cure Contagious Blood Poison, for the disease is be­ yond their skill.

FOR THE BLOOD —acts in an entirely different way from potash and mercury—it forces the Soison out of the system and gets rid of it entirely.

Di*aih This Season. Marquette, Mich., May 15.—The schooner Nelson, in tow of the steamer Folsom, sprang a leak Saturday 35 miles below Deer Park, and sunk with all hands on board, except Capt. Andrew Haganey, who floated ashore on top of boat's cabin. The captain’s wife and baby, Fred Haas, a sailor, and six other sailors are reported lost. The schooner was coal laden for Lake Linden. When fou>d to be leaking the crew cut the tow line and turned the boat for shore. She went down in 300 feet of water. All was done so quickly there was no time for the steamer or the schooner Mitch­ ell, also in tow, to lower the lifeboats. This is the flrat loss on Lake Superior this season. Not a vestige of wreckage was left on the surface to mark the spot where she disappeared, and not a single strug­ gling man showed his head in an ef­ fort to keep afloat on a piece of wreck­ age. The nine persons on board had gone down with the schooner. The Nelson is owned by the Mitchell Transportation company, of Bay City, Mich. She Was formerly one of the crack vessels of the lake fleet, and when she first came out, in 1866, was con­ sidered an extremely large schooner. She measured 766 gross tons, and was 163 feet long by 32 feet beam. Many years ago the span were cut down, and since then the Nelson has formed one of the Folsom's tow. AM AWFUL CRIME. Howard City, Mich., May 12. — Joe Harvey, 20 years old, employed at the sideboard factory, Wednesday night killed his wife, uncle and grandmother, attempted to kill his baby, wounded his father-in-law, shot at his sister-in­ law and a teacher named Miss LaBar, and finally tried to kill himself. Har­ vey lived with his uncle and grand­ mother, who had brought him up from childhood, their home being one mile north of town; The uncle’s name was Robert Pierson, and Harvey’s grand­ mother was 70 years old. There were no witnesses to the tragedy, which took place after Harvey returned home at seven o’clock. Harvey was brought to town by Sheriff Underhill, and is close­ ly guarded. As yet no motive for the crime can be given. The young man has always borne, a good reputation. —- ------- a,a -­ incomes of corporations were included so as to reach nonresident stockholders....The house passed a bill making it a felony for a person to deal in stocks, grain or other commodity unless he is prepared to ac­ tually receive and deliver the commodity.

COOK BROS., PROPRIETORS. TO SHIP GRASS SODS. B ■ ■ . | James Bradford Olcott, of South Man­ chester, has originated a new idea in 3his turf-gras* culture propaganda. With • foot of snow on the ground it would seem to the average observer that progress in groa* culture would be brought to a halt, not to be stimu­ lated uatil lhe bud’* warm rays had melted the snows and encouraged the tender shoots of a new grass year. But to a man like Mr. Olcott, who gives all his time to the subject of gras* culture, it matter* little what the season is. His desire to manage a grass garden in California is still a dream of the fu­ ture, as legislative wheel* move slow­ ly. So he has been stalled at his splen­ did ranch in South Manchester, his car­ pet of grasses being covered deep in •now. He has not been idle, however, and perhaps his time has been spent to better advantage than had he bee* . testing grass growth under strange conditions. His new scheme is> cns that will recommend itself to the man of practical ideas. It is nothing more nor less than to make of pure grass a commodity, capable of being trans­ ported like coal or brick. The scheme Is a variation on that of transplanting *od, as it is frequently seen in the sum­ mer time when a new lawn is being •odded. This is the basic idea, and Mr. ^Olcott has busied himself.in improving and elaborating it. It is also apparent that in these sods, a* fine a* velvet, he has a valuable ob­ ject lesson in turf grass culture. For use at agricultural colleges, in the pub­ lic schools or in the lecture room, he has a thoroughly interesting and unique collection. In these cold, bleak xztopths of the year how‘often one sighs for tbe summer skies and the green turf of summer. Well/ Mr. Olcott can furnish the green turf, as downy to the touch as a piece of silk; and with the •oft touch and fragrant smell of the eod tbe imagination ca.. easily do the Mr. Oloott was seen by a reporter and asked to talk^about his “object les■dni” He was very free to discuss the subject, and in his own pungent way •aid: “This is what a friendly and instructled eye may consider a close imitation of 'business.* ‘It is nigh enough!* as Chet.

He will be told that while the Unitrtl States will not recognize him or his congress as gov­ ernmental factors, the amnesty to the insurgent army will be complete. The rebels will not be punished by loss of life, liberty, property or political rights. Such of them as prove capable may be taken into the civil service on proof of loyalty, but there will be no guarantees as to the employment of either Aguinaldo or other individuals. It is believed the proposals from Aguinaldo will be really to this effect. The details of the negotiations will nil be left in the hands of the commis­ sion. They are fujly authorized to pledge the president to the fullness and fairness of the amnesty offered. Aguinaldo has been given to under­ stand his present rebellion, having been inaugurated before the ratification of 1he treaty of peace, entitles him to treatment as an unreconciled Spanish subject, whereas continued rebellion against the.

There wa, something about tbe sergeant that made it impossible for his comrades to treat him flippantly, as seafaring men usually do each other. The cruise was drawing to a closeand the ship was lying in a tropical port on Christmas day, with a broiling sun overhead and a sea of glass about her. Christmas trees rose above the mastheads, and bunting decked the vessels fore and aft, while the men be­ neath the awnings on the cold-white deck were enjoying their Christmas sports of athletic games, with the first sergeant as referee. A Christmas din­ ner laid on tables on the forward deck awaited tbe ending of the sports, and 300 jolly faces watched the fun and mode bets upon tbe results. “The German consul is coming along­ side. sir,’’ reported the quartermaster 00 watch to > the officer of the deck. “Four side, boys,” sang out the latter, and the boatswain’s mate piped the aide as the German consul came over the gangway. He was escorted to the cabin. and the interrupted sports went on. The prizes were awarded and the Christmas spread duly enjoyed at the various tables, and nowhere more than at the table of the master at arms’ mess, of which the first sergeant was a member. Permission to smoke was granted, and the first sergeant had just lighted his pipe when the messengerof the watch came to him and said: "The officer of the deck wants to see you, sergeant.” Dropping his pipe he went aft to the mainmast, where he was surprised to find awaiting him uotonly the officer of the deck, but tbe captain and a civilian, who ^.proved to be the German consul. , “Sergeant." said the captain, “this gentleman has something to say to you.” and while the well-drilled marine stood at attention the consul said: “Baron von Schrader. I bring you n Christmas gift.” The first sergeant did not forget he was a soldier, and. al­ though his face expressed the utmost rurprise^she saluted and said, inter­ rogatively) “Yes, sir?" “Your father, the old baron, and your elder br-jther,” continued the consul, “have both been dead for six months, and we have been all this time trying to find you—a diffi­ cult task, since, as ft proves, you en­ listed under an assumed name. How­ ever, we have accomplished .our task, and it gives me much pleasure, to hand you these papers, which prove your right to the title and the estate of your late lather.” The Tirst sergeant took the papers mechanically, but stood at‘attention, a soldier still. “Now, sergeant,” said the captain, “of course you will want your dis­ charge. How much longer have you to serve?” . , “Four mobths, sir,” answered Baron von Schrader, the first sergeant. “Well, I think it can be arranged," said the captain, “and, now that you are so great a gentleman," he added, smilingly, “of course you will not care to take your place among the crew." The first sergeant hesitated, then sa­ luted and said: “Sir, I do not think I am a greater gentleman now than I have been, and, if this matter can be kept from the crew, sir, I would rather serve out my enlistment." The captain thought a moment, and then said: “Very well, sergeant, you may go forward." And serve out hia enlistment be did. refusing thia strangely offered Christ­ mas gift, and no one forward was a whit the wiser, nor did they learn that their sergeant was a baron until he had put aside with honor the uniform of Uncle Sam and entered into his new es­ tate in his Rhenish home.—Cincinnati Hc^Hugo6 t^10*e to whom they have to Happineim is reflective, like tbe light of o eaven,—Irviug. u C?n’?1* i* a tex man pays to the pubJic for being eminent.—Swift.

Dinwiddle goes on to answer these ques­ tions by a most interesting account of tbe three chief cities of Puerto Rico, San Juan, Ponce and Mayaguez. He de­ scribes their social life, tbelr manufact­ ures, and comes to tbe conclusion that Mayaguer is tbe most attractive town, and that Ponce will, with American en­ terprise, become the greatest trade center of the island. ri»hc Board of Review, and LbU for .. h Dr. T.

Tbe Bannxb has maintained that “Re­ form” comee high, and that tbe people would know it when they come to pay Xheir state taxes. It la an open aeeret that the atate of Michigan paid an enor*90008 price to put her few regiments in the field, and that outlandish prices were ■paid for goods. It was feared that noth­ ing pertaining to tbe investigation of the affaire of the state military board would become known, as there was a desperate attempt on the part of the Pingree push to keep the facts becoming known to the public But last week the report of the investi­ gating committee wu made, there being both a majority and a minority report The majority report contained a mild re­ proof, bnt the minority report was less lenient . Tbe report shows that some articles, were bought at a reasonable price, as the vurehasero went out In the open market and bought This was true in the pur chase of tents, blankets, clothing and mi­ nor things. It was for meats, groceries, bakery goods and shoes that the most fault is ■found, blds aot even being asked, and the prices charged being all out of reason. A few pets of the administration were al­ lowed to supply the whole business, and us to the reasonableness of the charges, the prices paid will best answer. When the call was made for troops Lib- • l>y A Co., of Grand Rapids, was ordered to Be on hand with groceries; the Western £eef A Provision Co., of Grand Rapids, reoeived a like order as to meats, and F. L. Blake A Co., of Grand Rapids, was orxlered to supply the bread. From the evidence It seems that Blake -A Company at first charged five cents per Jnaf for bread.

Tbe state was to pay for the rifles as fast as delivered. No rifles were delivered under this contract, and no min­ utes appear on the records of the military board’s meetings of any further action by them in tbe matter. But Gen. White testi­ fies that 910,000 of tbe national guard fund was placed to the credit of W. E. Sutton in a Rochester N.. Y., bank and that a bill of sale of the Blake Rifle Oo.’s plant and patents was taken aaaecurity for tbe money. No record of this payment of 910,000 appears on the cash book of tbe fund from which it was paid. Gen. White also testifies that a new contract was made, in which the rifle company agreed to furnish 1,800 rifles, the first 50 to be de­ livered In three weeks, This was In Aug­ ust and but 20 rifles have been delivered up to this date, March 90, of which Gen. White testifies, “received 10 of them some time ago and 10 about two weeks ago, I guess.” These are a few of the things referred to in the report and while It Is not known that any members of the military board di­ rectly profited, yet it shows a very lax way of doing business by an admlnlstrap tion that was elected od the cry of reform, and one that always looks after the “peo­ ples’ interests.” That “the peoples’ ” in­ terests were “looked after.” depends very largely on who are considered to be “the people.” > EX-BENATOR PEFFER.

They DJ ui Oi 0i are a severe drain upon the system, and are con­ stantly sapping away the vitality. In every case the poison must be eliminated ir m the blood, and no amount of external treatment can have any effect. There is nch uncertainty about the merits of S. 8. 8.; every claim made for it is backed up strongly by convincing testimony of those who have been cured by it and know of its virtues by experience. Mr. L. J. Clark, of Orange Courthouse,Va., writes: _ ____ “ For six years I had an obstinate, running ulcer on my ankld, which at times caused me intense suffering. I was so disabled for a long while that I was wholly unfit for business. One of the best doctors treated me constantly, but did me no good. I then tried various blood remedies, without the least benefit. S. 8. S. was so highly recom­ mended that I concluded to try it, and the effect was wonderful. It seemed to get right at the seat of the disease and force the poison out, and I was soon com­ pletely cured.” Swift’s Specific— 8. 8. 8. FOR THE BLOOD —drives out every trace of impurity in the blood, and in this way cures permanently the most obstinate, deep-seated sore or ulcer. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed purely vegetable, and con­ tains not a particle of potasn, mercury, or other mineral. 8. 8. S. cures Contagious Blood Poison. Scrofula, Cancer, Catarrh.

MMHIL InJared—The Those Killed 'Waterloo, la., May 29.—The most ter­ rible wreck in the history of Black­ ' kawk county was that which occurred Saturday night on the Burlington, . Osdar Rapids & Northern railroad, about four miles northeast of this city. A. passenger train of seven coaches, toxduding the mail and baggage cars, ■was wrecked with a terrible loss of life and great injury to many living. The are of the disaster was a washout, ed«e to a waterspout or cloudburst in '■Orange township. Crossing the .rail­ card track where the wreck occurred i*a little stream called Sink creek. The r sand and gravel was washed out from ^mder the track, leaving it unsupported ifor stretches of from ten to twenty feet. The rails and ties held stoutly together, --•and there was little to indicate to the •-engineer the insecurity of the road be-tfcre him. All at once a lurch of the ’-•Dgine warned the engineer of the im­ pending disaster. He and the fireman leaped from the cab, and by good fort»ne that can be counted as scarcely less than miraculous escaped with but nllght injuries. > Cars in a Coefesed Heap. ” Freed from the track, the engine ' plowed its way deep into the earth along the side of the track until its momentum could carry it no further, • and it stopped. Lying on one side in ’ttar ditch behind it cars of the train Were piled up in a confused heap. The xnail car rolled over close to the en­ gine; the baggage car partly telescoped the mail car; the first coach partly telescoped the baggage car, and the second coach jiartly telescoped the ttsat coach. The third coach telescoped ■'the ■first sleeper, the floor of the coach Treating just about on a level with the ■lower berths in the sleeper. 'Here is "where the greatest casualties occurred.

In tin- qjnnx l'( 1827 the Mlsslou was amoved to Grand Rapids, where it reniined untd the fall of 1886. when it was removed to Prairieville, Barry county. The Mission ground In Grand Rapids was located the north side of Grand riv. r. ab«»u*. a tulle south of Bridge street. The Mtsalou numbered about 350 Indians 01.1 and young. The Mission was re­ moved ftom Grand Rapids on account of the liquor traffic up and down the river. Tbe was located near tbe base line go the Indians could be near the lakes. At that time Barry county and Kalama­ zoo count; were undivided. Mr. Slater bought eleven iota of land of the late Lu­ ther HUI for the Indians. Our neighbors were Messrs. A. 3. Varker. Orville Barnes. Spaulding, Otis, brothers. A man by the name uf Peck kept a tavern on or near CapL Earle’s farm. Mr. A. 3. Parker built the first frame house and barn tn Prairieville. The barn was struck by lightning abont three years ago. and burned to the ground. Tbe bouse, or part of jt. is still standing, owned aad occupied by Mr*. Sarah Dorr Blum. About two and one-half miles south of is the little settlement ot_ tbe Mission "as Richland, wherr the post office was kept by Col> Hames at Barnes' Corners. Be­ fore the Mission was moved to Prairieville Mr. Slater had the mail brought from De­ troit on horse back. He owned a horse by thr name of ‘ Old Jack” that carried the mail for three yeafs. It took one week to make the tfp to Detroit and another week for thl return trip, so iu those early days mall was received only once is two weeks, I do not know how often mail was re­ ceived at tbe post office at Barnes Corners su Richlipd at 'hat time, but I know it cost tw0fy-five cents for every letter that came throng’ the post office (or a number of years. The first school Mr. Stater’s children at­ tended was held in Foster Gilkey’s bouse, taught by Miss Harriet Gilkey, Foster’s sister. 1 think it was in tbe fall of 1837 the first school house was built. It was large aud commodious, serving a double puruusv, religious services were held in it oa Sunday and school during the week. Four posts were put in the ground with cross pieces on the top, and the first bell in Prairieville was hung thereon until the Mission chapel was built, when It was hung in the belfrey and rang out tbe glad tidings of our Savior, as long as the chapel remained. The bell was purchased In De­ troit in 1830 by Rev. L. Slater, was ship­ ped around the lakes to Grand Haven, then to Grand Rapids In a canal boat. When tbe Mls-lon broke up in Prairieville Mr. Slater sold tbe bell to the school district of Prairieville, now village of Prairieville, where it still calls the youths to a broader and higher life ?n education. Mhs Susan Parker was the first female teacher. Rev. L. Slater teaching tbe winter terms In this newly organized school district. The next one was Rev. Slaters daughter Frances. The Mission chapel was built in 1840 43d in the winter of 1855 and ’56 was re­ moved to Kalamazoo on Water street where Tyler & Tamer's planing mill now stands, was rebuilt with an additional story, and served as a dwelling bouse for • number of years. It was removed in its ^ond dight to Den Bleyker’s addition on Portage street, where It now stands as a tenement *nd may do duty as a dwelling house for thirty years longer. The Indians belonging to this Mission *ere not warlike but like all Indiana loved to hum and fish. They loved “firo- water” but perhaps not more than their white brethren. H Was characteristic of their race for every Indian to own a dog, a «««» and a pony. They were generally as °ne®t as the average white man.

I asked her what she went so far for to wash. She said “much water there, me like lake.” I do not know whether she ia living or not, but ahe waa a noble woman of her race. A man called “the Indian farmer” was hired to teach them how to do farm work and to keep the tools in order and so forth. There were several places where they burled tbelr dead but moat of them, per­ haps about 120, were buried about 40 rods west of John Holden’s tenant bouse; but nothing remains to mark the spot where the cemetery used to be. Tbe Indian payments came yearly, tbe first of October. The amount paid them being from eight to twelve dollars per head, according to the number of blankets they received. At these payments, which lasted three or four days, a great deal of property would change iu There were always more or less band with their whiskey and other mer­ chandise. At one of these payments Mr. Slater was so indignant toward the rum­ seller, be knocked in tbe beads of several barrels of whiskey and spilled It on the ground, rather than have it sold to his Indians. Mr. Slater always preached to the Indi­ ans in their language, with which he bad made himself familiar. He had early sought Instruction from tbe chief of the tribe In their language. He would first deliver his sermons to the chief in order to get his criticism as to its correctness be­ fore he preached it to the worshippers in tbe chapel. Tbe chiefs name was Nahgua-gee snick, translated in English, Noon­ day. He was six feet tall, broad should­ ered, well proportioned, with high cheek bones, piercing black eyes and coarse black hair, which bung down bis should­ ers. He possessed great muscular powers. He was an old man when he came with his pastor and friends to this new Mission ground. He was converted to Christian­ ity in 1830 and never failed to bold family consequences of keeping bard cider about ones premises were clearly made evident tising a refectory pnpil for the teacher. by this case, and laid particular emphasis He was looked upon by all bls people, not upon the moral responsibility of the man Hard cider only as their counselor, but as a wise pa- who persists in doing 1L trlarcb. who was to look after tbelr tem­ causes as much trouble and starts nearly poral and spiritual wants. >. as many boys on the downward bill Id the Though the settlers ndw and then talked' country, as the saloon and whiskey does with the old chief through an Interpreter, in the city.

It Is a well known fact that both tbe Chippewa and Ottawa tribes fought with the English in the war of 1812. Noonday witnessed the killing of Te­ cumseh at the battle of Thames. \ He was directly on bls right when he fell, and Col, Richard Johnson, of Kentucky, afterward vice president, killed him.

The convict Is Charles Smith, who murdered an old woman in Barry county. The nature of the crime was rape and he pleaded guilty to murder In the second degree. The Judge gave him a life sentence.

Washington, June 5. -- Diplomatic relations with Spain, broken off April ■1, 1898, were formally resumed at 11 o'clock Saturday, when President Mc­ Kinley greeted Due d’Areos, the newly accredited minister to the United States, in the blue parlor of the white house. Simultaneously, in Madrid, Bellamy Storer, the new United States -minister to Spain, was being presented to Christina, the queen regent during the legal minority of his Catholic maj­ esty Alphonso XIII. It was a notable occasion in the world’s history—the reamnptiou of friendly relations between two nations which had beer at war and in the brief struggle had changed the map of the world. The speeches were especially notable. They were plain spoken and devoid of the usual haxy diplomatic phraseology. The minister said: “Mr. President: I have the honor to place te your excellency's hands the royal letter by which her majesty, the queen regent of Spain. In the name of her august son. King . Don Alfonso XIII., accredits me near this government In tbe capacity of envoy ex­ traordinary and minister plenipoten­ tiary. "I have come to renew the relations of friendship which have existed from of old between Spain and the United States, and which were interrupted by the war of last year. The treaty of peace which Spain has atgeed put an end to that war, and now. looking only to the future. Spain desires that her relations with thia republic may be as friendly as they were in times past, and from the days in which this country waa struggling to gain its Independence. It la my task to contribute to the renewal •f these relations, to strengthen them, and te draw them closer: and, in tbe discharge of it, I hope to be aided by the kindness and cooperation of* your excellency and of poor government." The president responded as follows: «at gratification the letter by which her asa*eaty, the queen regent of Spain, in the •asM of her august son, King Alfonso XIII., has accredited you near this govern­ ment as envoy extraordinary and minister •iealpotentlary. "Tou will find. Mr. Minister, a cordial welcome In this country, not only from those whoso friendship you acquired dur­ lag your former residence, but from all geople. wbo rejoice as I do at tbe renewal of the ancient bonds of amity which, with a brief interruption, have united our nattons for taore than 100 years. That these friendly relations may be confirmed and atrongth'ened, to the advantage of both poodles, is my earnest wish, and I can as­ sure you that every member of this gov­ ernment will heartily cooperate with you to that desirable end." At the conclusion of the ad dress the president stepped forward and shook hands cordially with the new minister and they engaged in conversation in a low tone for a minute or two. The president gracefully inquired after the health of the queen regent and the Mayville, Mieh., June 1. — George Stalker, aged 23, late Wednesday shot his father twice, bis mother once and then sent a bullet into bis own head.

Washington, June 2.—The monthly statement of the public debt shows that at the close of business May 31,1899, the debt, less cash in the treasury, amounted to $1,168,891,407, a decrease as compared with last month of $3,695,­ 857. This decrease in the debt is ac­ counted for by an increase in the cash on hand. THE PRESIDENT B STROHGLY INDORSED Columbus, O-, June 3.—The republic­ an state convention on Friday nomi­ nated Judge George K. Nash, the fa­ vorite of Senator Hanna, for governor, and ex-Congressman John A. Caldwell, the favorite of George B.

The Nichols-Shepard Nothing that helps to make a perfect road and thresher engine has been left out or slighted in the construction of the Nichols-Shepard Traction Engine. Everything has been done that science, skill and experience could suggest to add to its effectiveness, power, durability and safety from explosion and fire. The boiler is of the very best selected steel, thoroughly well made and provided with every approved safety appliance. The fire-box is surrounded by water—top, bottom and sides. The draft-damper is so made that pparks and ashes can't drop out, and tbe smoke-stack is fitted with patent bonnet and spark-arrester. Every part is strong, durable and is thoroughly tested.

It indorses President Mc­ Kinley as follows: "We earnestly I nd one the great admin­ istration of William McKinley. It la dis­ tinguished to a remarkable decree In the history of national administrations. Un­ der hls splendid republican administration public credit' has been restored, the pros­ perity of the people has developed, our commerce has grown great, our trade, domestic and foreign, has increased to a degree nevAj; before known, and the peo­ ple are looking with confidence for greater Chings to come. “The magnificent achievements of out army and navy In the war with Spain for the liberation of the downtrodden and op­ pressed people of Cuba from the domina­ tion of Castilian despotism, accomplished under the master guidance of a republican administration, are necessarily subjects for highest encomium by a convention of Ohio republicans. "To the same master guidance, con­ trolled by the great principles that have shaped the high destiny of the republican party, from -Lincoln to McKlnlety. the people can safely commit the solution ot momentous problem ot the tuture-of Cuba, Porto Rlcu and the Philippines. Their wise solution will vastly increase our foreign trade, spread American civilisation abroad and add to the honor and power and glory of this great nation, ' “We commend the president for the ju­ dicious modifications of the civil service rules recently promulgated. “For the national defense, for the re­ enforcement of the navy, for the enlarge­ ment of our foreign markets, for the em­ ployment of American workingmen In the mines, forests, farms, mills, factories and ahlp yards we demand the immediate en­ actment of legislation similar to that fa­ vorably reported to each branch of the Fifty-fifth congress at Its last session so that American built, American owned and American manned ships may regain the carrying of our foreign commerce.” In reference to state matters the gen­ eral assembly is commended for the pas­ sage of an anti-trust law and such un­ lawful combinations are denounced as inimical to the interests of the people, and the party is pledged to such further legislation os experience may deter­ mine necessary to prevent the forma­ tion and operation of such iniquitous and dangerous combinations. A pro­ test is made against lynching and the Ohio centennial at Toledo in 1902 is Btrongly favored.

Charles King, who returned, home on the transport City of Puebla, owing to ill health, in an interview said: •The situation In the Philippines Is most serious. The people of those Islands will keep up a guerilla warfare and there Is no telHng when the hostilities will cease. They retire to the fastnesses of their mountain retreats when they are-whipped and hide in the jungles. Subsisting on practically nothing, they have no need for a base of supplies. It will necessitate a large force of men to subjucate them completely. The war In the Philippines is by no means ended. Their Intrenchments were works ot military engineering and construction, equal to the best that the most civilized military nations have pro­ duced. Under the Spanish regime the Filipino luarned something ot war. and we are receiving evidence of this every day. "The volunteers who fought in the Phil­ ippines are a splendid lot of men. capable and accomplished lighters. They behaved like veterans when under fire and there Is no limit to their courage. Their record In that awful country will adorn pages of American history recently made and yet unwritten."

The decision says that the prisoner is to be retried on the following ques­ tion: -Is Dreyfus guilty of having In 1894 prac­ ticed machinations or of having had com­ munication with a foreign power or He agentN with a view of facilitating acts of hostilities in the case of a war with France, or having furnished the means therefor, by furnishing notes .or documents retraced on the bordereau?” Paris.

Cancer is a deadly poison in the blood, aud an operation, plaster, or other external treatment can nave no effect whatever upon it. The cure must come from within—the last vestige of poison must be eradicated. K PIMPI FS I Hill LLui Mr. Wm. Walpole, of Walshtown, 8.

I became greatly and consulted a good doctor, who pronounced it Canrsir, and advised that it be cut out, but this I could not con­ sent to. I read in my local paper of a cure effected by 8. 8. 8., and decided, to try it. It acted like a charm, the Cancer becoming at first irritated, and then discharging very freely.

' The Nashville News last week rather endorsed the position taken by David Harum in a boss trade:—“Do unto tbe। other fellow as he would like to do unto you—only do it fust.” The News com­ plains of the “rooters” at the ball game at tbe fair grounds recently between Nashville and Hastings. Only a week before In speaking of the VermontvilleNashville game at Nashville the News said that If It hadn’t been for tbe “rooters” that Nashville would have lost. It would seem that “rooters” are all right when they root for Nashville, but for anybody else it Is au act of discourtesy and suffici­ ent cause to “drop dlplomotlc relations.” Get even with Hastings Brother Felghner, even time they come to Nashville to play ball, or engage In sports, but don’t com­ plain of others for adopting tbe same tactics that you have. ■ M.

Tbe geaeraL program, as Is usual, was furnished by. the board of education of the cbareb,. and this was used by nearly all th«v churches of this denomination through-? out the land. The first half was give*, over to songs, exercises and recitations- ft by the juvenile portion of the school, and i. tbe remainder of the program to an exerelse called Peace or War? Young Ameri- . ca’s Verdict, in which a number of youagr ladies and gentiemen took part. The- . music was an especial strong feature of ■ tbe program, the Instrumental part being furnished by the organist, Mrs. Margaret Townsend Troxel, at the piano, Mr. Troxel, violim Dr. C. H.

Tbe church waa decorated most beau­ tifully, tbe large platform being used, and covered with flowers and palms, while a cross, bayonets and flags, devices appropriate to the program were scattered aboat. Tbe decorating was under tire supervision of Mrs. Charles Mixer, and was very effective.' Mr. Mealley told of what tbe collection on Children’s Day was used for—to aid worthy young peo­ ple to get an education, the money form­ ing a fund which was used by tbe various church colleges to loan to these young­ people, and thousands bad been able ta finish their education by this meana. Baptismal service for children was held by the pastor. Rev. Bullen, and several were baptized. Tbe collection amounted to over 825. This observance of Child­ ren’s day was one of tbe most successful in tbe history of tbe Sunday school, and while this was due, of course, to the individual effort of each, Its success largely must be credited to the painstak­ ing work and watchful eye of the super­ intendent, Mrs. Walter A.

He went on with some more farewell words, and I calmed down a little bit because I happened to think that he might be going to Europe, or Manila, or jail. But I didn’t stay calm very long. As soon as he had finished his good-byes, he started to tell his chil­ dren that they would never see him again, but that he would be watching them from above, and he waited them to grow up to be good men and good women, an honor to themselves and to their dead father.

The pay of authors, their privileges, the charms of the literary Ufe-tWs well-threshed theme la attacked agahi in n recent umber of the Idler. The freedom of the profession is what most enchant# Robert Barr: He writes: “In the first place let us consider the advantages of the literary profession. Au author, even if only reasonably successful, can live where he pleases. He Is free from the compulsion of being that dreadful city pendulum, with Its swing into town every morn­ ing and its swing back to tbe suburbs every evening—the business man. Other Britons, who are not authors, sing hilariously that they never, never, never shall be slaves, and next morn­ ing resume their slavery; up by the 9:15 and down by the 5^20, if they are prosperous; earlier and later if they are not Poor devils! Is the million­ aire adequately remunerated? I Ray he Is not If he is to go to bls pUtce of business every day. But an author may live as far away as the South Sea island8. and carry on successful deal­ ings with his wares in the markets of London and New York.” Qulller Couch grows enthusiastic on the same subject:* “My calling ties me to no office stool, makes me no man’s slave, compels me to no action that my soul condemns. It sets me free from town life, which I loathe, and allows me to breathe clean air. to exercise limbs as well a« brain, to tread good turf, and wake up every morning to the sound and smell of the sea, and that wide prospect which, to my eyes, is the dearest on earth. All happiness mus t be pur­ chased with a price, though people seldom recognize this, and part of the price is that, living thus, a man can never amass a fortune. But as It is extremely unlikely that I could have done thia Id any pursuit, I may claim to have the better of the bargain. But we have to go back to Thackeray to get the genuine article, For example “Ah! how wonderful ways and means are!

Hastings, Mich. $22.50 NET iMntka Signature of Bean ths Signature of Conan Doyle Is blmselt the hero ota story In a little Irish town. The town possesses a convent ruled by a mother •uperlor whose eyes have seen their best days. Going lately Into the local bookseller's shop, she picked up a vol­ ume which she thought was written by Canon Doyle, a dignitary of renown in those parts. She bought It and had It read aloud for the edification at the midday meal of the community. The: edification in the first chapter seemed far to seek. Never had love making been so freely alluded to with­ in these secluded walls. The novices were thrilled. “Well, well,” said the mother supe­ rior. “the dear Canon is preparing us for a miracle of grace. The frivolous flirt, by the -mercy.of heaven, no doubt ends by taking the veil.” Then came the awakening. Some one eagerly peering into the volume per­ ceived that the title page bore the word “Conan" Instead of “Canon." The dis­ covery reached the ears of the mother superior. •— "Very well.” she said, “the booksell­ er where we bought the book Is a pious man. and now that we have paid for It we should be wasteful not to read It to the end." What'She decreed was duly done, and’ It is Conan Doyle’s fault If all succeeding l»ooks chosen for'commu­ nity pCnisal have Beemed to be exceed­ ingly dull.

I like your preaching, but when I go to your church and see such men as okl_S------ and others, grasping skin­ flints and hypocrites to the.core, sitting there in full membership, why. the thing la Just a little too much for me. And really." he added, “I cannot join.” ‘•Well, you’re right,” said Mr. Beech­ er; “everv church has such -men. and I fancy Plymouth Is not free from them. And until you spoke T have al­ ways wondered why the good Lord permitted It Now I understand.” “Ah." gurgled the young fellow. “I am ghtd I luive thrown light on the question.

COOK BROS., PROPRIETORS. enth Round ud Become* the MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE Washington, June 9.—The French government has taken steps to renew actively negotiations for a reciprocity treaty with the United States, and to that end has appointed M. Chapentier as special delegate to assist Ambassa­ dor Cambon in conducting the negotia­ tions. The negotiations with France were begun Home time ago and then came to a complete halt. The disposi­ tion of the French authorities is very fa­ vorable towards securing a treaty, and as a basis for this they are ready to con­ cede the minimum tariff list, which is about 20 per cent, below the minimum list now levied on American goods. The . concessions desired from the United States are those under section 4 of the | Dingley tariff law. A partial reciprocity ! arrangement was made with France some months ago, but a much ihore ex- I tensive treaty is desired. Lansing. Mich..

Here we have Illustrated two conceptions of tbe lawyer. Tbe estimate that tbe Irishman’s language Implies to perhaps a little exaggerated, but it is tpyical ut tbe opinion of a large portion of iue groeral public, for it cannot be doubtt-u that many people look upon lawyers, as a class ot men, that It is not safe to en­ counter in a business way. It is known that many persons are not content with tfar rights that tbe law gives these, bat enctoacfc upon tbe rights of oth­ ers whenever, and as tar as they can. with ■ofety. Theis only solicitude is to eseppe tbe punishment of the iaw. The lawyer Is tbe roar, who helps them to do It. A man fading that his business te going wrong, concludes that his creditors are better able tn stand the loss than himself. He looks t<> a lawyer for advice, and bte proper.;, is disposed of in a way that acOMBpIlsbes the object A man’s horse runs away and breaks his wagon, or caused a personal injury, or he is struck by a rail­ road train upon a crossing. One may be caused by defects In tbe highway, and tbe other by negligence of the engineer, or both may arts* from the fault of the per­ son injured, in the former case tbe town­ ship or railroad company may justly be re­ quired to recompense the injured party; •o tbe other they should not be. Yet, 1 think the general public has tbe impres­ sion that suits and recoveries are not liml- UkI tn the former class of cases, and that clients are prone to lay tbe blame for acci­ dent upon another where they can, espec­ ially when there is a chance to obtain a few hundred or a thousand dollars from a persoa or corporation who is able to stand i!- in such cases the lawyer may act in tbe best of faith fully believing in bis cll<ni, and bis base, but the uncharitable public will be likely to suspect that he parUdpates in the fraud, especially if be takes the case ou shares.

He Is tbe defender of human rights, He steps Into the breach, and by the potency of fate own unaided effort, stays the tide of calamity which threatens, or he compete the sordid to divide up with his brother tbe patrimony that belongs of right to both, or he compete the obdurate corpor­ ation to minister to tbe unfortunate, who has become a cripple for life In its service. It Is not our province to criticise unduly the public. The more important question for tbe lawyer pertains to his own duty, and his own good. It te for him to ask himself how far the criticism of the public Is just. ancLto what extent such adulation is desirable. It brings up the old vexed question, bow far should a lawyer go in de­ fence of bis client’s interest. All will agree that be should DOtjco to tbe extent of suborning witnesses, or manufacturing testimony, but what is he to do with tbe case of a client, which be suspects, but does not know, rests upon false testimony, and bow far assist in tbe manipulation of prop­ erty which may have tbe effect to defraud creditors of their honest dues, how far shall he aid In accomplishing Injustice. It la a matter ol conscience, and as in many other questions of life, it may be advisable to avail ovrselves of the side lights afford­ ed by public criticism. Tbe sober thought of society desired the suppression of vice and crime. It tolerates tbe criminal and the vicious whom it does not respect, and it will not look differently upon tbe lawyer, who by his life or conduct evinces sym­ pathy with these classes, and a disposition to protect them or condone their crimes. It te suflclently just to recognize tbe right of these classes to have professional ser­ vice and of the lawyer to render them but will look with a somewhat scrutinizing eye upon tbe conduct of counsel, and will not approve practices, which bis own con­ science will not approve. We should doubtless all agree that tbe average criminal should have counsel. The Constitution gives him tbe right, and professional ethics require us tv defend him if appointed to do so. So does the sober second thought of society which de­ sires the conviction of no Innocent person. But society understands that a large pro portion of those put upon trial for crime are guilty, that they expect to escape by a denial of tbe'truth, that the exigences of their cases are such as to require lawyers who will push every point of fact or law to the extreme limit, who will brow beat witnesses If necessary, and accuse others of improper conduct, if not of the crime it­ self, to screen ,the client; who in tbe se­ lection of a jury will challenge the best men and keep the worst, and society does not approve but merely tolerates these things. It suffers by all of them. Society would draw the line at a defence which re­ sults in justice, but the defendant’s neces­ sities go much further. He needs a repre­ sentative who wlU stop at nothing to in­ sure success. We cannot much wonder at that, for be wants to be acquitted, and if guilty.

The con­ templated building was to be 50x120 feet, with a 85 foot stage, cloak rooms, ladies’ and gents’ dressing rooms, wash stands, water closets etc. The building in mind waa to have a truss roof, with no pillars or posts reaching to the floor to obstruct the view. It waa to have a balcony or gallery all around the building, tbe galleries being capable of seating several ^undred people in case of a crowd. A fine floor was to be put In that could be used for drilling or dancing if desired; tbe building was to be finished in natural wood, and overhead was to be a steel celling, or celled with a good quality of lumber and tastily painted or decorated.

A Very Interesting Paper Read Before the Old Pioneer Meeting. Written by U. J. Wolf. ROBERT IRONSIDE KILLED THE CAVING IN OF DIRT. While Digging >r at Intersection in the First Ward, Tuesday afternoon about four o’clock, while workmen were engaged in digging a 1 trench across Michigan Ave where it intersects Thorn BL, about 20 rods north of the Michigan Ave bridge, a caving in of ' earth led to the death of Robert' Iron­ side about two hours later. A large tile drain Is underneath Mich. Ave at this place, to carry away tbe water from the east side of Mich. Ave. Of late there has been such a filling up at the mouth of the drain that the water could not flow out, so It was decided to raise the tile a little. There were four men in the trench at the time besides Mr. Ironside. These were Steve Content, Claud Clifford, Art James and W. F. Hicks, the latter, stand­ ing next to the unfortunate man just be­ fore the accident The trench was down abont five feet, and Instead of coming down to the Hie straight it seems that they got a little to one side, and In digging around to get tbe tile out, it left the walls almost perpendicular on tbe north side. It commenced to cave a little and Contant took bis shovel and dug away some of tbe dirt. A large crack in the earth was discovered further back and all were warned to get out, which all of them did with the exception of Mr. Ironside.

BANNE» b-4e tortw We are assembled here to-day to discuss and relate pioneer reminiscences, and I am Indeed proud that my father, Ell Lap­ ham. struck the first ax of civilization In what te now known as the township of Maple Grove. These sturdy men and women but little knew what tbe future had in store for them, but each felt that a new era waa beginning and the fulfilment of a great hope, the hope of a home and a competence for them and theirs. Many of the old land marks have disappeared and the time te dow but short when tbe last survivors of tbe pioneer army shall have passed away. Indeed, but few remain who by actual experience know of the joy and woes of pioneer life, and few at tbe present day can comprehend the strength of the bond of friendship which united these first dwellers In tbe woods. The settlement of the township of Maple Grove began in May. 1837, when my father, Eli Lapham, accompanied by a son and daughter, Leander aged 17, Sophroma 15, Journeyed from Wayne county, a distance of 125 miles, a portion of the way through an unbroken forest with an ox team. Upon arriving at Cleveland Elite’ In Assyria father was very glad to accept of his hospitality which was cheerfully giv­ en, my ateter remaining there while father and brother cut a road through tbe track­ less forest to bls location, and erected a log cabin which in 24 hours they con­ sidered sufficiently completed for my sis­ ter to begin housekeeping in. This bad a bark roef with neither window, floor, or door. There was an opening left for a door in which a blanket was hung, and her cooking was done by a log heap; later on a bark floor was laid which had a tenden­ cy to curl up and had to be turned over every day in order to keep it flat My sister remained here for three months, tbe only white woman in Maple Grove town­ ship. At this time father journeyed back bringing mother and five younger children. Mother being much afraid of the wolves which bowled in close proximity to tbe shanty would at night roll a flour barrel in tbe door. Before winter set in father split logs with beetle and wedge and made what he called a puncheon floor and a rude door and window was also construct­ ed, and a huge fireplace built, which ad­ ded much to their cheer and comfort. This first summer they chopped and cleared five acres, which was sown to wheat Father being called to Detroit at this time on business, Leander was left to nrepare the ground and sow tbe wheat, which was dragged with an A drag among stumps as thick as they could stand and tbe last of December 2% seres of this wheat was sown and dragged in one way and left to finish in tbe morning, but the morning found the ground frozen bard and covered with snow and remained so till February, when there was a thaw which lasted long enough to prepare the ground and sow tbe remaining 2X acres, which was barely accomplished when another heavy fall of snow covered the ground and remained until spring, giving this last sowing no chance to sprout, con­ sequently the first sowing went 30 bushels to the acre, while tbe last made a rank growth of stalk, but never matured a grain. This was subsequently cured and used as bay. I remember bearing mother relate an incident concerning her Indian neighbors; one cold night after dark tbe door was opened and four Indians with two squaws walked in and made it understood that they desired to stay over night. They had killed a bear which they also brought in, depositing it on mother’s new floor, then they signified their desire for a kettle and water, which waa hung over the crane in the fire place, and large pieces of meat placed therein, which they merely al­ lowed to come to a boll, when the meat was taken out held In their hands and de­ voured much as a dog might perform the same feat. The greasy water in which It was scalded waa drank as a broth with evident relish; then the .kettle was re­ filled, placed on the crane to be ready for service in the morning. During the night a number of crickets, which Infested the stone and clay which formed tbe hearth, fell In tbe kettle, but this was in no way detrimental to tbe soup making for the morning meal, which was carried out In tbe same manner as the previous night, excepting mother added a loaf of bread to the morning menu. After breakfast they left for their wigwams some distance north ot ns. During tbe year of *36 William Bntton located on Sec. W-23, and tn *38 be made a small clearing, built a shanty and married ■y oldest sister, Bophronta Lapham. Her with a bow under her chin. This hut; named article of apparel was considered exceptionally fine. Their oldest daughter,, now Mrs. Annie Tattle, of Decatur, wafttbe first white child born in Maple Gxovm township. I well remember bearing father relate si little Incident which will serve to illus­ trate bow bard It was for them to abtaim money for postage, which at that time war. 25 cts. paid on delivery. Father bad sa married sister in the state of N. Y. whaaebusband was very much incensed at fath­ ers moving to such an out ot the way­ place, and never lost an opportunity cfi telling him so in no very flattering terms* Our nearest post office at that time wa» Bellevue and father was notified that there was a letter In the office for him uponwhich there was a quarter due. Nowwhere this quarter was coming from was debatable question which took father sev­ eral weeks to solve, but at last tbe money was obtained and father went for his let^ter, which read as follows; This letter leaves us In the same opin­ ion of thy foolish move as we have enter­ tained from tbe beginning. El, wham next thee writes pray tell what mode thee,takas to kill a massasauga snake. % . Elisha Roberts.. And in reply to this father writes: This letter leaves us In tbe same state of health tbyne found us. Thee asks what A stick we take and mash his head and. then we aay this snake la dead. Ell Lapharn.*. Not long after this father receivedr another letter giving a detailed account of all affairs which would interest him, with a dollar inclosed which uncle said waa K conscience prick. Father brought with him a horse wfflahv was subsequently stolen by tbe Indiana. . This lots the family felt to be almost Ina- parable. However she was not beard front■ for two years, when a wandering band of Indians camped at Bellevue and among their ponies our horse was seen and recog­ nized by Mr. Woodbury and a man aentr to inform us; father being absent from home a family consultation ensued in which it Was decided Leander should go to ■ Bellevue and, if possible, recover the ■ horse. This, with the assistance of MrWoodbury, be succeeded in doing, bring— * ing her home a distance of 12 mlte&through a dense forest with no road but a. path. Luckily the Indians did not molest / him, but several Indians presented them­ selves tbe next day, fully armed, and de­ manded tbe horse, which they claimed be­ longed to their chief, but the big hour, was blown, which was a signal for help*, and a neighbor a mile distant Immediately, responded, and tbe Indians finding they, could not obtain her except by force, leftz with many threats of vengeance. How­ ever but a short time had elapsed before they resorted to their former expedient and stole her again. Some years after she was again brought to Bellevue but waa then considered to be worthless and no at­ tempt was made to reclaim her. In politics father, like most Quakers was a rabid abolitionist I have often* heard him say he was never tanned ot sued, and never sued anyone. He moved* from Maple Grove to Calhoun county In tbe year of *65, where be died at the age of 78, Mother then removed to Maple Greve to be near her children, and died ah tha* home of her daughter, Mrs. Abram at the age of 77. Abel Hallock, tbe second settier tn order came with father in *37, but remained in. Assyria a short time, then erected a shanty, on Sec, 26, now owned by J. C. Dillon* but a few years later became dissatisfied*. sold to John Baldwin and removed to, Ypsilanti. William Sutton, whom I have spoken or as marrying my sister, when a bachellor erected a shanty, but ln tbe winter of *38 removed to Battle Creek, living with bla parents through the winter of that year;. Richard McOmber, arriving at this. time and finding the Bntton shanty unlnhaMtated, took possession, erecting for them­ selves a bouse during the winter, and thefollowing spring four scree of grain wa> sowed and planted, the work being done entirely with a hoe. In tbe -fall their.wheat was also hoed in, do other impto-;ment being available among the’ stumps and logs. . With Mr. McOmber came four sons and one daughter, which added materially tn the social ellment of the little settlement. Of this family there are still living Dexwln MoOmber, now a resident of Ha»tjngs, Amanda, now Mrs. Aaron Durfee* of Baltimore, and Pliny, whe since hie marriage with Mias Emily Santort la 1854, baa resided on tbe old boms fam. Both Pliny and wife are prominently Iden­ tified with tbe social and religious circtea of tbe township. They have alromBjr ‘passed the three syore and ten allotted to. humanity, but being of a social and enter­ taining nature their home la still the aeeoe of many pleasant social gatherings. Thia terinn Richard McOmber the fourth pio­ neer in order of arrival He came from Wayne county, New York, with a wagon and team to Buffalo, then croeeed the toko to Toledo, and from there again travelled by wagne to the locality above mentioned.

This service marked a new era in the railway world in the Hue of passenger accommodations. At a cost of a quarter of a million dollars that progressive company furnished the travel­ ing public, in Its Pioneer Limited train, comforts and facilities tbe best ever pro­ duced.

S20.Q00.00 DETROIT. Lansing, Ml^k., June 15.—The senate yssterday. by a vote of » to fl. refused to re­ peal the special charter of the Michigan Central Railway company and passed the houae bill providing for a commission to negotiate with all railroad companies hav­ ing special charters, to ascertain and re­ port to the next legislature on what terras they will surrender their charters to the state and reincorporate under the gen­ eral laws of the state....A bill providing for submission to the people of any city of tbe proposition to assess city taxes upon the land values, upon petition of JO per cent of the taxpayers of tbe city, which had passed the senate, waa defeated by a vote of 60 yeas to 41 nays. 51 being a majority of the membcrs-elect Lansing, Mich., June 15—The house yes­ terday 'passed the Sayre anti-trust bill, which was passed In the senate several weeks ago. If constitutional the act will very effectually shut out of the state all trusts and combinations. The special com­ mittee appointed several weeks ago to In­ vestigate charges of cruel treatment of in­ mates of the Industrial home for girls re­ ported that all the charges bad been sus­ tained. These were extreme corporal pun­ ishment, paddling, solitary confinement, requiring girls to wear badges marked •'Liar," ••Thief," etc., and giving hot baths as means of punishment. The committee recommended that Mrs. A. T. Bliss, of Sag­ inaw, and Mrs. A. H. Smith, of Flint, mem­ bers of the board of managers during the time punishment charged was Inflicted, be removed by the governor and that the re­ organised board appoint a man and his wife as superintendents to succeed Mrs. Lucy M. Slckels, who has been superin­ tendent for the past eight years and under whose supervision the alleged punishment was Inflicted. The house adopted the re­ port. Gov. Pingree has vetoed the bill limiting to 17.50 a week the portion of the wages of a householder that shall be exempt from garnishment. Lansing. Mich., June 17.—The legislature ceased doing business at 11:30 p. m. last, night. Final adjournment will be June 24. Tbe prlnlcpal business transacted by the senate yesterday was the passage of the Oren permanent tax oommlwdon bill and the bill reorganizing the state militia. Both houses passed a bill creating a commission for the Ohio centennial, and also a substi­ tute sugar bounty bill, giving the factories <25,000 a year each, but the senate added an amendment to the effect that the provi­ sions of the bill shall not become operative until 1904. The bill so amended did not reach the house in time for action and con­ sequently the present bounty of one cent per pound stands. Both houses also passed the Sayre antl-tru?t bill recommended by Gov. Pingree. A bill appropriating 340,000 for a state building and exhibit at the Pan­ American exposition at Buffalo was vetoed by the governor.

At the age o, 1« I waa following the plow on tpy father’s farm lu Franklin county Pennsylvania. That was In the spring of IMO We took a weekly paper, and on,, night 1 read a story from a New tork pajier about the discovery of gold In California. At that time’ we had . rude notion, about gold mine, or placers, and the mention of the dis. covery ot gold meant to our innocent minds Vast deposit, of virgin yellow metal ready to the hand of any one who was on the ground to scoop It up. "The whole country was wild on the subject, and the farmer boys.and men probably on account of their Ignorance on tbe subjects were a trifle more de­ lirious than the city folks. Mercijants sold their stores and farmers their lands to join In the wild rush for the gold fields. I begged my father to let me join one of the expeditions, but he said *no’ with a snap that shut off all argument "Then, of course. I decided to go. I tramped It for 20 miles, and joined a company -that came from Venango county. I was a husky boy. and they took me along, because, as one of the leaders said, I would be handy with the horses. "We took the overland trail and reached ‘the coast.’ the land of prom­ ise and of gold. In the fall of the year. We went to the American river, and drifted through Calaveras county, and —well, there’s no use going into de­ tails. I struck It, and I lost it. and any old gold seeker knows that means. I panned out $20,000 on the American river in three months and lost the last ounce over a faro txank In ’Frisco in less than three days. “I drifted from one diggins to an­ other for years—striking It here and losing It there—the old story. Then came rumors of a grva^ discovery of gold near Pike’s Peak. That was In 50, 10 years after I bad }>assvd over th? trail to the coast. By that time I was a confirmed prospector, who is a human feather on tho wind of for­ tune. 1 followed the drift of tlie wind and landed in California Gulch In the winter of 7»9. “They had struck It. sure enough. Th,' sluice boxes lu that gulch panned out as hlg lumps as I ever saw taken out In California. I was early enough to get into the game, and got a claim above what is now called Iron Hill. I cleaned up about $40,0G0 in a few months, and concluded that I would go hack to th? farm, raise the mort* gage, and marry the little girl that Uvvd down by tbe mill. They all do that lu novels, but they never do It in real life. "As a matter of fact. I went down to Denver, had my whirl, and was broke tn less time than It took to make it. That Is what gold hunters real life when they strike IL” The California Cycleway company is to build a cycleway that will be a floored bicycle ]>ath 10 feet wide and nine miles long, extending from Pasa­ dena to Ix>s Angeles, elevated above the ground from three to fifty feet, ac­ cording to grade and Inclosed on the sides for safety with a wire netting. Tbe whole path will be practically on a level. The steepest grade in the whole length will be only 3 per cent, and that for a distance of but 2,000 feet. Elsewhere tbe grade averages 1% per cent. The floor will be as smooth as a cement sidewalk (a short ride on which costs $5 In the munici­ pal court), and the cycleway will be wide enough to permit four bicyclists to ride abreast. At night it will be brilliantly lighted from en dto end by Incandescent electric lamps, placed 200 feet apart over the center of the center of the wheeling space. Among the most attractive features of the enterprise are the plans for Merlemont park and casino, qnd up-todate resort and pleasure ground about midway of the line. The company has secured 115 acres of desirable land tor this purpose three and a half milt's distant from the plaza In Los Angeles, and will here create one of the most beautiful pleasure grounds in Califor­ nia; On one of the highest points of th? park will be built a spacious and artistic casino, with all the appurte­ nances of an ideal bicyclists’ retreat. Th? building will be 200 feet long and encircled with a wide veranda. It will contain a reception ball, cafe, kitchen, offices and every provision for the en­ tertainment and camfort of guests. Half of tbe basement will be devoted to a Swiss dairy. The ladies’ reading room will have Turkish decoratlons.Los Angeles Times. thT'Sl^*1<-J“n^“*A Killed. 8fapatch'to the Dally New, from Poo Chow Uyi «riou, antl-forelgn trouble, have oe. nLT’u*1 province of hgan-Hwel.

Tho operation Is often performed In ordin­ ary surgery, and a man who was. say 5 feet 8 would look very different when only 5 feet <». But he could be changed beyond recognition by work on the face alone. Hls forehead could be made high and bold by the electric, needle. Hls ears could be made to stand out or lie flat, just as desired, and his nose moul­ t'd Into any shape from a pug to a high Roman. The entire expression of the mouth can be altered by putting a deep Wrinkle In each corner, and the eyes equally transformed by modifying the general direction of the brows. All the operations would be, of a minor char­ acter and two months would be suffi­ cient for the job. At the end of that time a man’s own mother wouldn’t know him, and he could revisit the scene of hls crime with Impunity. The thing is perfectly feasible theoretically, but fortunately a few little things stand in the way of Its practical oper­ ation-such things as time and money and the difficulty of finding, secluded quarters and a skillful surgeon willing to lend himself to the scheme.”—New Orleans TImes-Democrat. A man is In a bad way when he can’t sleep at night. When this hapl>ens a good many people resort to some drug, but this is a most perni­ cious habit, and will lead to terrible trouble If persisted In. But there are harmless remedies. Three or^ four dandelion leaves chewed before turning Id. will gener­ ally send the most nervous and wor­ ried man to sleep, and without any harm to him. They can be picked at any time, and dried • ■ - ready - • use for when wanted, They are best fresh, however. A sort of tea made from boiled bay leaves—not laurel—also soothes the nerves and conduces to slumber with­ out hurting the patient’s system. It Is largely used In many parts of the country, and Is pleasant enough to take. A teacupful Is enough. Care should be taken not to confuse laurel leaves with bay. as the former are very poisonous and contain the sub­ stance of prussic acid. Don't make tbe bay-leaf tea too strong. Another very fair mild narcotic can be brewed from lilac leaves, dried before the fire and boiled. AH these Items are per­ fectly harmless and far better than laudanum or other powerful drugs. The Budapest Hirlap tells a curious story about the way some owners of great estates manage their own Inter­ ests. Countess Bzapary owned, with a number of other estates, a small coun­ try house near a fashionable resort in the north of Hungary, with but little land under cultivation, but a large tract of unimproved woodland. She had inherited It with other property and had never seen It. A leaseholder took care of it for her. paying a small rent One day the countess hears of hls pres­ ence In the city. She has him called, and addresses him: “Say, Lajos. I want taoney. I'm invited to a court ball and must have a gown.” “What cijn I do for you, madam?” he queried. "Loan me 10,000 florins!* “I’m sorry, but I haven’t got that much." "I'll sell you the whole place for 10,000 florins!” “Seven thousand is the most I can scrape together between now and to­ morrow!’’ “Well, bnng me the 7,000 to-day and tbe place Is youre.” That af­ ternoon the man came with a notary and the money, and the sale waa made perfect The countess bad her gtreru and the tenant hia estate, which during the first year brought in for him 13,000 Many women suffer untold agony and misery because tbe nature of tbelr dis­ ease Is not correctly understood. They have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for tbe many ills that be­ set womankind. Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under tbe eyes, rheuma­ tism, a dragging pain or dull ache in tbe back, weakness or bearing down sensa­ tion, profust* or scanty supply of urine with strong odor, frequent desire to pass it with scalding or burning sensation, sediment in it after standing in bottle or common glass for twenty-four bouts, are signs ot kidney and bladder trouble. Tbe above symptoms are often attribut­ ed by the patient herself or by ber physi­ cian to female weakness or womb trouble. Henoe, so many fall to obtain relief, be­ cause they are treating, not tbe disease itself,- but ■ reflection of tbe primary cause, which Is kidney trouble. In fact, women aa well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder trouble and both need tbe same remedy. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root Is tbe great discovery of tbe eminent kidney and । bladder specialist, and Is easy to get at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar. To prove Its wonderful merits you may have a sample bottle and book telling all about it; both sent absolutely free by mail. Kindly mention tbe Hastings Banner and send your address to Dr. Kilmer &.

Manila, June 16.—Evidences accumu­ late that the demoralization of the Filipinos since the defeat of the insur­ gents at Zapote is widespread. Yester­ day the mayor of Imus walked into Bacoor and formally surrendered his town. He was sent to Gen. Lawton at Las Binns. The mayor told Gen. Law­ ton that the people of Imus were glad that the Americans had come. He said that the Filipino army consisted simply of Aguinaldo's “band of cutthroats." The mayor told Gen. Lawton that the insurgents passed through Imus in ut­ ter confusion, carrying with1'them 100 dead and 300 wounded. "I would stand perfectly still and let you akin me alive, never speaking a word nor uttering a whisper, if ft would turn me white." The speaker was a negro about 44 y*am of *£*• age, w who was wafting waiting at tho ths J**™ ^o waa Union depOt for * traln " oarr? hirc tO U* backwoods home in northers Michigan. He was a black Apollo, six feet uU’ ma^lflcently proportioned, ^r^-'ormed^urea * of 77 yearn. foriorn.. neglected ' ' ------by even himself. He moved to a hut on a small lake ten miles from Ta was City to be out of the way of the painful reminders °rou<ht him be a white “earning with happineos. Heoecasionally meets passing “lumberjack*," but their appearance does not annoy him so very much, for he realizes that they, too, are a forlorn'people. Mean­ while he waits for death with a welcome ready. In the next world he believes all men will be as one race, and there will be no two colors. He has seldom seen the reflection of his own face in the last ten years. He cares for no happiness that money can purchase, and says he would give bis wealth with his hated skin if he could/ thereby purchase the miracle for which he has so ardently prayed. lie says he would sooner die than mar­ ry a woman whose skin is dark. He would, however, marry a white woman and put up with the constant reminder and painful contrast in color if he could have one of his own choosing without being obliged to mingle with oxherslto discover her. He would not propose to a woman, being reasonably certain of a refusal in advance and feeling that he would not soon recover from the wound 8 refusal would inflicton his over-sensi­ tive nature. TO CURE WITH ELECTRICITY. Are to Be Destroyed by Mil- A dispatch to the New York Mail and Express^from Washington says: A wonderful discovery in electric force is announced, whereby the inventor claims that he can send a million voita through the human body, kill all forms of bacilli, including those of tubercu­ losis, without incidentally annihilat­ ing the patient. It is said the inventor proposes to take advantage of the fact that glass is not an absolute resistant or non-con­ ductor, but that a tremendous eJectrical current striking against a glass case, in which. Is inclosed a human body, is diffused over the wide expanse of glass plates, and hence permeate* all parts of the human body inside the glass case. Tbe inventor asserts that ones charge of such a current would vitalize the countless tiny electric batteries com­ posed of organic cells and give energy to the wornoutbody and to the wearied brain. Every bacillus, he says, will be killed, and the patient on emerging from his glass case will be like a new man. Dr. F. S. Kolle, who is in charge of the electro-therapeutic department of the Electrical Engineer institute, was asked what he thought of the discov­ ery. He said: "In the first place. I do not know how the million-volt current is to be pro­ duced. There is no apparatus known to me which will produce more than a 50,009-volt current. "In the next place, I do not see why a glass case is to be used- Any man can take into his body a million volts di­ rect, if it can be produced, and not be injured by It in the slightest. "I am not aware that any expaalments have been made showing that even a million-volt current, if it could be produced, would kill bacilli."

In many cases where the wrong treatment has been relied upon, complicated glandular W swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that a dangerous surgical operation is necessary. Mr. H. E. Thompson, of Milledgeville, Ga., writes: “A A bad case of Scrofula broke out on the glands of my neck, . which hod to be lanced and caused me much suffering. I was treated for a long while, but the physicians were unMKjMMyMk able to cure me, and my condition was as bad as when I JB began their treatment Many blood remedies were used, but without effect.

This service marked a new era In the railway world In tbe line of passenger accommodations. At a cost of a quarter of a million dolian that progressive company furnished tbe travel­ ing public, in Its Pioneer Limited train, comforts and facilities tbe best ever pro­ duced. This train has been described many times in newspapers and magazines, but should be seen and examined to be ap­ preciated. In beauty of finish, richness and elegance of furnishing nothing equal to it has ever been attempted by any other road.

Experimenting on the air from the lungs of healthy persons and of con* sumptive patients, and noting the characters of the air and vapors of clay soil, sandy soil and town soils, he obtained a liquid in each case. The liquids were sterilized, and In them were soaked pieces of filter paper and of ordinary wall paper. The papers were. Intended to form breeding grounds for the bacilli of tubercle, and when the microbes were sown on the paper they multiplied and flourished in each case. The outcome of these experiments proves that the germs of tubercle pos­ sess a wonderful elastic constitution. They multiply, grow In the lungs and other organs of the human body, but they thrive equally well In the organ­ ic matter which Is contained In the air breathed out of the lungs, and In the vapors that arise from unhealthy soils. They Inculcate tbe great lesson that dryness of soil and light (and plenty of It) are the natural agents for the .de­ struction of the microbes that convey tubercle. Long ago Sir G. Buchanan and Dr. Bowditch of Boston also showed that according to the dryness of soil produced by good drainage, the cities in which such sanitary works were carried out presented a marked decrease of the death rate from con. sumption.

There are two or three cases of mar­ riage tbe sixth time/ and one caae where marriage was entered into the seventh time, but she discounts that record. Young Benson Eggers of Hen­ dricks county, however, is in fair way to attain a similar'distlnctlon. He has just passed his 10th year, and is pre­ paring to contract his fourth marriage. He was married the first time when he was but 14 years of age and his wife but 12. The marriage was upon consent of parents. He treated his wife as a plaything, but when he grew tired of her he slnng her around like she was a doll, and scared her to*death by draw­ ing razors across ber throat and throw­ ing her on the floor and bolding a redhot poker over her. 8he got tired of this and went to her borne.

The insurgents are active all aroufid the town and can be seen working in the trenches to Strengthen their position. Day and night forces are at work. It is esti­ mated that 3,000 men were seen march­ ing in the road north of the town Fri­ day morning. The Americans turned out and manned the defenses, expecting an attack. The soldiers sleep in their clothes and breakfast at four o’clock in the morning so ns to be ready for an­ other daybreak assault, Gen. Oven­ shine is in the hospital suffering with fever. Gen. Grant is commanding his troops on the south line. Washington, July 1.—One of the members of the cabinet, speaking in connection with the campaign in the Philippines, said: ’The president has given Gen. Otis to understand that he is to have all the men necessary in the conduct of the operations against the insurgents. Gen. Otis has been told this in so many words, the president having said to him in effect that if he (Otis) did not have enough men it was his own fhult. The president also realizes that the better the men are cared for and their health preserved, the more capable they will be of doing effective work, and before the rainy season be­ gan Gen. Otis was instructed to nrepare for it. and in various ways was given to understand the president’s desire that the soldiers should be well cared for and well fed.” v There will be nine regiments raised at once for service in the Philippines. The president discussed the matter Fri­ day morning at the cabinet meeting. Over a week ago it was suggested to the secretary of war that nine regiments, or about 12,000 men, would furnish the additional force required by Gen. Otis in the prosecution of the campaign against tbe insurgents. There were counter propositions, and it was sug­ gested among other things that the maximum strength of the 35,000 volun­ teers be utilized. There is a difference of opinion among the army officers as to the force which Gen. Otis should have by the end of the wet season. July 3'“°OT- Pl»gree baa dispatched a letter to Secretary Albrought out by criticisms of the "ecr-tary and the numerous comments ntly published concerning the tmtneot made by the governor to •npport Secretary Alger In hl. cam­ Pa gn for the United State. oenator•h'P.

I voted tor Mr. McKinley, and I nave had no cause whatever to regret It. It he is a candidate again I will take pleas­ ure in giving him my support. *'In"°far a* the alleged ‘alliance* with you is concerned. I can freely and frankly say that none has been made. As you are already aware, I simply proffered you my support in your candidacy for United States senator, atfd only wanted to know whether, you were In favor of an amend­ ment to the constitution permittint jhe election of United States senators by direct vote of the people. I was glad to be advised py you that you favored the restriction ot trusts.* but neither of these things wa« made the condition of my support. In com­ mon with thousands of other Michigan peo­ ple. I merely offered to assist you. If any­ thing. I have profited by It politically, be­ cause the American people detest cowardly methods of fighting. •‘The language which Is attributed to me tn the false Interview. In which I am made l? criticise and abuse the administration, should have condemned the interview as a fabrication at once. But even more ab­ surd Is the statement made by the press that I am an avowed candidate for the re­ publican nomination for president at the next national convention: that you have made an alliance with me, and that there­ fore you have practically declared your op­ position to President McKinley, and should retire Yrom his cabinet. Of course, such a statement Is too silly to be entitled to seri­ ous attention. It la sufficient to say to you that I have not and never did entertain the • remotest Intention ot becomings caniTldatt for the presidency. The story is only an­ other invention of Michigan newspapers. "I think the time is not far distant when public opinion will compel newspapers to be fair and decent In their treatment of men in public life. Until It does. I am convinced that the only course to pursue Is to. ignore tbelr malicious attacks. Attempts to cor­ rect their reports only result In provoking a more liberal outpouring of editorial ven­ om. After all. It is well to remember that a newspaper represents the opinion of ortb one man. and that that opinion is usually Influenced by every motive except a desirt to do full justice. The time Is not far dis­ tant when the people will awake to thh fact, and when they do. there will be a rad­ ical change in the policy of conducting the newspapers of the country, and especially In their treatment of public men. “Regretting if the unwarrantable lib­ erties taken with my name have caused yov any embarrassment. I am. yours very sin­ cerely. HAZEN 8. PINGREE."

Manila, July 3. — The rebels made a demonstration at San Fernando Friday evening. They took advantage of the darkness and rain to make a sally against the north line, seemingly only for the purpose of annoying the Ameri­ cans, as they failed to push their at­ tack. The American lo»s was a private of the Seventeenth regiment killed and lour men wounded. Manila, July 3.—Prof. J. G. Schur­ , man, of the United States advisory com­ mission for the Philippines, returnee to .Manila Sunday from a three-weeki tour of the southern islands.

"One of my liveliest experiences In connection with snakes," ^aid Mr. R. L- D’.thnara, formerly of the Natural History Museum, who was one of the chief exhibitors at the snake exposi­ tion, and who is a well-known expert, "took place in an elevated railroad car. I keep a large collection of snakes at ni.v home in Harlem, and I was bring­ ing hoiue a l»x of live rats to feed them ou. It was about six o’clock in the evening, an.i the car contained many girls, typewriters, shopgirls, and the like. I had put my box of.rats un­ der the seat and was absorbed in my newspaper when I heard a faint pat­ tering sound l>eneath me. J look 4 down and saw a large rat slowly emerging from under the seat. What bad happened was obvious. The, box had got open somehow or other and the rats were at liberty. "The situation was once that de­ manded prompt action. The rat I had seen wtia the pioneer. There were a dozen in the box. As yet none of the girls had become conscious of the pres­ ence of theft novel traveling compan­ ions. but their period of ignorance must be brief, and when It expired I new that I had little mercy to expect at the hands of the enraged women. The course I chose was rather prudent than heroic. I changed my seat to the opposite side of the car. and proceeded with the perusal of my paper, await­ ing the upshot of tbe adventure with trembling heart. "As I exp<*cted the first rat was fol­ lowed by another and another until there were a dozen of them strolling up the aisle. The scene that ensued beggars description, shrieks and screams and whirling skirts, women scrambling over the seats and one an­ other in the last extremity of terror. This excited the rats, which rushed hither and thither squealing and seek­ ing asylums. As for myself I joined In the burly burly apparently as start­ led as any of my companions. The pandemonium, of course, attracted the attention of the conductor, who rushed In to see what happened. In a few hur­ ried sentences I explained that, somebase-hearted villain had secretly intro­ duced n box of live rats ito the ear doubtless as a cruel practical'Joke. The language of the conductor was vigor­ ous. and I indorsei! It all. He never sug]>ected the full truth, aud at the next station the car was cleared of its human occupants and left to the exclu­ sive occupation of the rodents, concern­ ing whose ultimate fate I am Ignorant to this day. "Indeed, ants are awkward costomcq^wiiatever way you take them. They ttTe the favorite food of mapy of the larger snakes, but great care lias to Im* taken in administering them. A rat is always game and will not hesitate to attack a rattlesnake. It will jump on the reptile’s Imck and attack Its spine. On one <M*casion I put In a rat with a big water snake aud left It there. The snake was not hungry, but the mt was. and when I hapiM>ned to examine the cage a few days later I found that the order of events I had contemplated had been reversed. The mt had eaten off several inches of the snake’s tail. Now 1 always take care to cut off the sharp jloints of the rat's teeth before introducing them Into the snakes' -cages." Circniz Hrlped Editor. When the advertising agent of one of the "greatest shows on earth" visit- ed a town in Kansas last summer he called upon the editor of a local paper and asked the price of a double column display advertisement in the next two issues. ‘Two hundred and eighty dol­ lars." was thb reply without a mo­ ment’s hesitation. "Great Rcott! Are you crazy?’’ queried the agent. "What will you charge us for a full page?” "Two hundred aud eighty dollars. Just the same." "But how do you figure it?" expostulated the circus man; ‘’haven’t you any settled rate for space adver­ tising?" "See here, mister.” earnestly replied the editor, "I don’t pay any attention to si»ace in this deal, but I do know Just what an advertisement in this pa­ per will cost you. You can have a col­ umn, page, or the whole blamed paper. Just as you like. There’s a mortgage of $280 on this blamed shop, and your circus has got to help me out of it If you don’t I’m a goner, that’s all.

With the present talk about Ameri­ cana buying the lakes of Klllarney the following will be ot timely interest, and, anyway, the famous words of the charming old song are well worth reading. The beautiful lakes of Klllarney are three In number, called the Upper, Ixjwer and Middle Lakes. They are In County Kerry, Ireland, and at pretont owned by an insurance company. They form the moot famous of Ire­ land's , lovely scenery. Thackeray, when asked which of the lakes, te thought the moat beautiful, raid: •"Hia finest Is the cue in which yen find youroelf." The lakes are studded with pretty Islets. It hz« been said: “Ireland Is the jewel of the West. K1Ilarney is the jewel ot Ireland and Innlsfallen is the jewel of Klllarney.” Here Is a song about them by Balfe, which Is known the 'world over aud delights the sons ot Erin wherever It Is sung: fey Klllarney'e lake and fella, Em'rald isles and winding bays, Mountain paths and woodland dells, Mem’ry ever fondly strays. Bounteous nature loves all lands, Beauty wanders everywhere, Footprints leave on many strands, But her home Is surely there!

And the straw will be handled easily, without the slightest trouble and almost no litter, if you use the NicholsShepard Swinging Stacker. This takes the place and does the work of an independent stacker. It oscillates automatically, is easily swung to right angles with the separator to carry the straw to either stack or barn. This stacker has been demonstrated by thorough and practical tests in the field to be the handiest, most efficient swinging stacker ever attached to a thresher.

It weighs about sixteen pounds, and It's long, richly, colored fur is ex­ ported In great quantities to different parts of Europe, though not often used In this country. A trapped “fisher” will attack any one who comes within reach of the trap chain and when free will beat off any dog of twice its slxe. Perhaps the most striking example of the courage of the smaller species yet recorded is that shown by a small variety of jungle cat known as the fishing cat. which, though no relation of the Canadian “fisher. Is quite as courageous. One of these, which was kept in a menagerie, broke through Into the next cage aud there attacked and killed a leopard which was three times its own size. As most of the other small animals know how hopeless is a contest against the strength and vindictiveness of the weasel tribe, instances of resistance on their part must be classed as courage of a high order.

Teitns re­ Residence three miles west of Millar'* CaUfcralaa Can,,M„a> ‘Blood Letting Doni Why does a man wear two buttons on the back of hia coat? This Is not a companion riddle to "Joe” Miller's celebrated conundrum. "Why does a hen cross the street?" But it ’Is a pertinent Interrogatory. Habit—that’s the answer. Unquestioning, unreason­ ing custom. Your father wore two buttons in that same position. So did bls father. So did your earlier ances­ tors. So do you. Adam didn't. There wasn't much call for sartorial iplendor in the Adam period, and Eve wasn’t the author of the "nine tailors to make a man” theory. About the time men began wearing clothes and developing differences of opinion in which the sword was the usual arbi­ trator the two buttons came to be m evidence. They held the sword belt in place. When the coffee and pistol fad superseded the rage for rapiers the custom of wearing the two buttons was continued. Ever since then the but­ tons have been worn. No use to any one. No advantage except to the but­ ton manufacturers. Yet your tailor and mine had better not leave those buttons off, or we’ll start an account at another tailor’s. Look at the hairdresser’s shop. Thli isn’t for baldheaded men or Infants. There’s a pole that looks like a sta­ tionary pousse cafe, or half a hundred rainbow colored serpents all climbing up and down In different directions, according to your condition. In the good old days when the giants were on the earth there were also barber sur­ geons seeking whom they might entice. The varicolored pole was the sign of their profession. We don’t have barber surgeons now. The surgeon lives In a fashionable quarter, and If you planted one of those poles In front of an office the owner would have you locked up. The barber hangs on to the old custom. The pole means "Blood letting done here.” Come to think of it, the pole Is not so appropriate, after all. But if I were a barber I would not adver­ tise my specialty that way. When you write a business letter why do you write the name of the per­ son who is to receive It at the top? Haven’t you written the address and name on the envelope? What's the advantage of the double system? When the world was younger the scribes and Pharisees were not ac­ quainted with envelopes, and conse­ quently knew nothing of the mysteries of the "envelope game" as It flourishes to-day. The address was therefore written qn the letter Itself, and the sheet was then folded In such a way as to bring tbe superscription only to view when the sealing wax was ap­ plied. The window custom is one which al­ most every builder knows by heart. These gentlemen are in the habit of putting up houses with windows on all sides, and this is all right where there is a use for these apertures. But your ordinary builder doesn't confine him­ self to the utilitarian. When he strikes a corner house where there are not so many windows required as in other lo­ calities he does tbe best he can to give that bouse the appearance of be­ ing nothing but windows. Look at all the corner houses you pass. Most of them have "blind" windows. Imagi­ nation windows are placed on the side walls, with lintels, ledges and sills, and the builder feels he has done his duty. Elver notice your dog walk around and round in a circle before he lie« down? Yes, of course. Why does he do that? Know-of any reason why he should go through that unvarying No. Well, that dog's foreform ? fathers and the forefathers of all the dogs, big and little, started that prac­ tice. They had to beat out a hole in the snow or grass before they could get a comfortable bed. Then. too. your dog sits with his nose on his paws. You don’t know why. Neither does your dog. But he's simply following Instinct. His dog parents away back in the dim dog ages had to keep their noses clean for the scent, and they never let them touch the dust or snow. There’s the cat. Clean beast, the cat. Always washing herself. That's because cleanliness rups m the cat family; The first cat had to be a mighty immaculate feline, physically, or her prey would have scented her and kitty would have gone hungry. And so It goes throughout The man and the brute beasts are on an equal­ blind ity in the matter of following * “ * custom. Oilers thorough courses in all branches or music­ study.

T- and klodly „Mkm S yon rred tbla Bbernl citer in the Baamea Baars are now being worn, perhaps none are more popular with the ladies than theturquoise.” said a leading wholesale dealer.In precious atones In New York to a writer tor the Washington Star recently.* "The demand for fine tur­ quoise Is largely in excess of the sup­ ply. owing to. the fact that only n few perfect specimens are at present pro­ duced where they were once a bund­ nut. Some of the best turquoises are found in the Los Cerillos and Grant county mines in New Meglco. but the finest gems come from the Nlskapur mines In northern Persia. There are five or six of these mines, but thefllofet productive of nil la the Rush mine, which is situated at‘the top of a mountain that rises to an altitude of fl.000 feet above the sea level. The turquoises are found at a depth of from 70 to SO feet below the surface, aud the miners descend first by menus of a diagonal tunnel, and then by lad­ ders fastened to the side of the shaft. "At the mouth of the mine, which Is on a precipitous hillside, half a doz­ en men stand oh a ledge, and with small hammers break up the rock that is wound up to them with a windlass. When a turquoise is discovered It is placed on one aide In the rough state, incased In stone, and sent to market at Mesked. There the precious stones are separated from the fragments of rock and the good specimens are sort­ ed from the poor ones. Although in­ ferior stones are plentiful, turquoise of fair size and good r are seldom found. Many of tl___________________ look excellent when taken from Jhe mine, but the col­ or soon fades, or a green tinge Is de­ veloped or white spots appear on them. Some of these white spots are so small that they can only be detect­ ed with the aid of a strong glass, and even then they appear as mere specks, but In time these specks increase, and may spread right across the stone. These defects spoil the stone fpr the European and American markets, and they are sold to orientals, who are less IMirticuIar about such flaws. Tur­ quoises are worth from $1 to $50. and sell according to the size and quality of the stone.” FOR BLOOD POISON. Beware of the Doctors’ Pstnhwnrks rdlCnWurK, Ynil Pan lUU ban CUIS Yourself at Homo, their appetites and would disdain to shrink from a live mouse, are much too )ej<‘1-headed to be glamoured by fine names.

Plain Johns and still plainer Samuels an* quite as suc­ cessful in affaires de eoeur as Monta­ gues or Claude* or luincelots. But In fiction ail Is different, apparently. Heroes must have heroic niimes and heroines are uninteresting unless they bear some cognomen which goes trip­ pingly on the tongue. One would have supposed, however, that In th*? modern novel considerations such ns these would have no weight. That It is fiot so is very good evidence that the spirit of romance Is even yet alive and that deep down in the heart of the modern maiden, though she may not be aware of it herself, are cherished the very same ideals that were worshiped by gushing young ladies of the early ’GDr. Om* iaglad to find this the case. It Is a relief to know that an end-of-thecentury girl ean be romantic and silly, even to this extent. When.she can no longer endure heroes and heroines of novels with "lovely names" then we shall Indeed realize that there is noth­ ing more to hope from her. The best playwrights venture to be more realistic than our novelists In christening their puppets. Is not the heroine of Mr. Henry Arthur Jones’ new play a Jane? And not so long since It was a Susan he set before us ■In the same capacity. Mr. Pinero 1s equally reckless in naming his charac­ ters. but If he or Mr. H. A. Jones dubbed a hero William Blogg or a heroine Matilda he would be j»erfectly certain that the popularity of these persons would not be effected, because William Blogg and Matilda would be shown in the flesh and would prove quite as interesting as if they had been respectively Aubrey and Gwendoline. The novel-reader enn, of course, only imagine what He and She are like and apparently it greatly stimulates the imagination to read that it was be­ tween a Clarence, a Noel or a Lionel and a Brenda or Viola or Cecily that the course of true love ran with its customary turbulence. It has for some years been confident­ ly asserted by scientists that, owing to improved sanitary condition* and more reasonable modes of living, the average length of human life is steadfly increasing. An English investigator of eminence states thal this Is espe­ cially observable in noting the age at which one-half of any number of per­ sons born at the same time are dead. To Illustrate, a. half-century ago of 100 persons born at a given time the sur­ vivors would be in tbeir fortieth year when 50 of the number had died. Now, he says, the turning point has been ad­ vanced to the forty-ninth year. This, If correct, indicates quite a gain in the direction of longevity. selves to be dosed on mercury and potaah, the -^^■’^‘hedoetorxrvergiv.tor The doctors are wholly unable to get rid of this vile poison, and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the disease—the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the system, and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash and mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out into sores, and the fight is continued indefinitely, the drugs doing the system more damage than the disease itself. t Mr. H. L. Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark, N. J., says: °I had spent n hundred dollars with the doctors, when I realized that they could do me no good. I had large spots all over my body, and these soon broke out into running sores, and I endured all the suffering which this vile disease pro­ duces. I decided to try ST 8. 8. as a last resort, and was soon greatly improved. I followed closely your ’Direc­ tions for Self-Treatment,’ and the large splotches on my chest began to grow paler and smaller, and before long disappeared entirely. I was soon cured perfectly and my skin has been as clear as glass ever since.

Was troubled witl^ backache, headache, pains in the shoulders and dizziness. Through my mother I wm induced to try Lydia E­ Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, ond it has done me so much good. Ism now sound and well." Mrs. Harry Hardy. Riverside. Tows, writes to Mrs. Pinkham the story of her struggle with serious ovarian trou­ ble, and the benefit she received from the use of ‘Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege­ table Compound. This is her letter: “ How thankful I am that I took your medicine. I was troubled for two years with inflammation of the womb and ovaries, womb was also very low. I was in constant misery. I had heart trouble, was short of breath and could not walk five blocks to save my life. Suffered very much with my back, had headache all the time, was nervous, menstruations were irregular and painful, had a bad discharge and was troubled with bloating. 1 was a perfect wreck. Had doctored and taken local treatments, but still was no better. I was advised by one of my neighbors to write to you. I hare now finished the second bottle of Mrs. Pink' ham's Vegetable Compound, and am better in every way. I am able tn do njl my own work and can walk nearly a mile without fatigue; something I had not been able to do for over two years. Your - medicine has done me more good than all the doctors. fJCOBATK ORI»EH Bute of Mkhigao. County ot Harry -J’- thousand eltht hundred and ninety ninemaaat. Janwa B- Mill.. ■>»««« M g.

POSTAL & MOREY*, PROPRIETORS Qtlcura r«r*l«he« a Very Rc I can vouch for the truth of the fol­ lowing interesting case of clairvoy­ ance, says a London Mail writer: On August 12 a young man named Livio Cibrario. belonging to one of the moat ancient families of Turin, while at­ tempting to climb the peak of Rocciamelone, in the Maritime Alps, loat his way, and on the following morning a search party found his body, terribly crushed and bruised, at the bottom of a deep crevasse. Count Cibrario,, the unfortunate young man’s father, who was at Turin and knew nothing of his soo’a expedi­ tion to the Rocciamelone.lon the night of the accident aroused the rest of the family, announcing with tears that Livio was dead. He had seen him dis-' tinctly, be said, blood flowing from hia oattered head, and had heard these words spoken in a voice of terrible anguish: “Father, I slipped down a precipice and broke my head, and I am dead, quite dead." The other members of the family tried in vain to persuade the poor count that the ghastly vision was nothing but a nightmare, and the bereaved father continued in a state of anxiety border­ ing upon distraction till the morning, when the official confirmation of the terrible accident reached him. This case of telegraphy, or whatever name may be given to similar phenom­ ena. is considered all the more remarkaable, as Count Cibrario is a very quiet, matter-of-fact person, and- has never suffered from disorders of the nervous system or dabbled in spiritualism. □K&Wtf CUTICU1A SOAP, to dace (te sttkccncuu OtatDaL to ted tte sktetei Ikrtr ttM. so*, at IM inn. ana.

Don’t study too much. Av change of scene, a change from the ordloary mode of life, sets the current ebbing aud flowing in new channels. Swing In a. hammock, bask in the sunshine, sniff cedar, and balsam, take plentiful doses of swim­ ming. fishing, boating, romping; read "Seats of the Mighty,” "David Harum,”Peter Stirling ” Study some, think some, meditate, eat and sleep. Some people think this is wasted time. When will w» learn that energy is as great a factor in life as time? The same person can accom­ plish twice as much whea in.good trim. We’ll do just as much good and have lots more fun. Remember, we paw this way but once and will be a long time dead.” M. C. Excursion*.

This little Insect, or bug, has received sny amount ot good free advertising during the past few week,, by perching upon the rosy Ups ot fair young maidens—never the men— and doing tbe osculatory act In a way that Is not at aU appreciated. Tbe little peat picks out Its victim generally when she Is In tbe hammock or on tbe ground. Stealthily it creeps’ np to her lips and does the kiss act unknown to the victim; and with a low, base ha: ha! like the deep. dyed villain In a play, makes a sneak. The maiden awakes with ------ pains shoot­ ing all over her faee. Her lips and cheeks commence to swell and as the realization passes over her that she bay been kissed of course she swoons. The bite of the bug Is said to be .. extremely poisonous, and In some instances Is said to be fatal, especially so In eases of “sweet sixteen.” Old maids are In­ variably exempt from tbe onslaiwhts of tbe new aspirant for current gossip. It Is peculiar that the first supposed entry of this little bug Into the hallow­ ed precincts of Hastings, should have been in tbe home of tbe Judge of Pro­ bate, who may be called upon later to look after tbe estates of some of tbe victims of its ravages. \ Monday after­ noon Judge Mills, while unpacking eome furniture at bls home, came across a most peculiar looking little bug. that from descriptions received may prove to be tbe celebrated Kissing Bug.

They are not for sale everywhere, and are not to be classed among the won­ derful bargains, but for the amount ot work that la put on them they are cer­ tainly cheap and effective. ] Whlte waists are fashionable- this year, and perhaps the coolest and pret­ tiest of all are the unllned white silk ones. made, of course, with a great many tucks and considerable insertion. 1 he difficulty is about "doing them up," for It requires careful laundering to prevent their turning yellow, and by rights they should be sent to the cleaners. The same style of shirt is sold in all the delicate shades In linen, and even in black. It is another ta<S to use the thin wash materials In the waists, and many are made up of dot­ ted Swiss muslin. These look cool and dainty, especially when worn with skirts of wash material, but they look badly when worn with heavy skirts or for street wear. The silk ones, on the contrary, are not Inappropriate, even in the street. ' | 6HRISTMflS' STUDIO, ’ I well curved la to the figure. uvrf Uiytaan Bfm.

She was in k-Bl^wbesnt prlclous mood, says _ ... . pleased her to convert a Dublin shop asaistaxt Into a man of fortune and the founder of a noble family. Luke White, the father of the first Lord Annaly, was a poor Manxman who had drifted to Dublin to serve be­ hind the counter of a bookseller's shop. In the hope of adding to his scanty earnings he bought a number of lottery tickets for sale, but found himself un­ able to dispose of them all. At the last moment he decided to send the unsold tickets to Belfast, In the hope of finding a belter market there; but when the coach had been a day on it* journey he received a letter Informing him that the*despised tickets had won valuable prizes. Although the news came In the dead of night, Luke White got up immedi­ ately, saddled a horse, and raced madly in chase of the coach. He rode through the night and the whole of the following day, and overtook the coach within a few milgs of Belfast. He rescued the bundle of tickets and, re­ turning home, exchanged them for prizes of the value of |100,000. An amusing story is told of a wicked trick which fortune played a short | time ago on a lady. The lady and her husband, who were traveling, called at the shop of a country draper to make a few purchases. They, were about to leave the shop, when an at­ tractive bonnet arrested the lady's at­ tention, and she induced her husband to buy It for her. When it came to payment, however, the husband found, to his dismay, that he bad not sufficient money to pay for it. In this dilemma he offered the draper an eighth share, ticket in a Ger­ man lottery which be had in his purse, and finally Induced him to accept it in part payment. A few days later the lady learned, to her disgust, that the lottery ticket had won an eighth of >75,000. and that her "darling bonnet’’ had thus cost her the record price of nearly 19,500.

UmL With the appointment of the com­ missioner of the census of 1900 specu­ lation begins as to the population the enumerators will find In the country when they finish their work next year, ks usual large figures are being made and a great Increase I* claimed over the population given in 1890. One estimate now1 going around Is based on the guesses of the governors as to the population of the different States and territories January 1. 1899. Tbe total 6n that date I* placed at 77.983.­ 363. and, adding the proportionate in­ crease between now and June. 1899. It 1s claimed that the Unl’ed States prop­ er will have In 1900 about 80.250.000. Adding tbe estimated nopnlstlon of Hawaii. Porto Rico and the Phlllnnlne Is’ands and a grand total of 89.250,000 is found. This Is a masnlflcmt end alluring figure. If realized ft wou’d show a growth of nearlv thre»fn’d since 18«n. nr in forty years. It !s extremely doubtful, however, if any enr»' to**! Is reached. The additkn of Aftn for tainnlr*ion of Hawaii. Portn Rico and the Pbillnn’res in probnblv not too large. Tt rives 1.000.000 1rte people to the Phlllnnlne islands m^ny rood authorities claim, and it would not be 8urorfsln< |f the total addltfon* to the nopulatlon of thia en,'wtrv made by the war with Spain wnuid arr’-pmte 10.000.000. But the estimate of 80.250.000 as the population of the Tnited State* proper In 1900 ta un­ doubtedly foo large by several mil­ lions. It would mean an Increase of 17.400.000 since 1890. or about twenty­ seven per cent, a much larger in­ crease than was shown by the last census. . Such an Increase ta Improbable. There is no evidence to show that the coun’ry has grown at a more rap'd rate since 1890 than !t did during the de­ cade between 1880 and 1890. The growth which ft was expected the cen­ sus of the latter year would show waa not realised. Expectation had been based on the percentage of increase between 1870 and 1880. But the large Increase shown In the latter year. It Is now acknowledged, was due to tHF defective census of 1870. The more ac­ curate census of 1880 gave a large increase over the pr*v!ous census and created the popular dissatisfaction with the census of 1890. But no facts have since come to light to show that the last enumeration was not full, accurate and complete. Every census mad? by States during the past eight years has tended to prove the correctneea of the census of 1890. Some light Is thrown on the size of the population which will be found in the country in June. 1900, by the State censuses taken In 1895. The fol­ lowing table gives the returns from nine of these States: Population. States 1890. 1895. Massachusetts .... 2.238,943 2.495,845 Rhode Island .. .. 345,506 884,758 New Jersey 1,444.933 1.672,942 Michigan 2.093.889 2,241,454 Wisconsin1.686.880 1.981.905 Towa1.911.896 2,058.069 Minnesota1301,826 1,574.910 Kansas .. .4 .. «. 1,427,096 1.334.668 Oregon 818,767 . 862,762 It will be seen by this table that Minnesota and Wisconsin are the only Western States which made large gains between 1890 and 1895. The first State gain* about twenty per cent, and the latter about fifteen per cent. Mlchlgan’s eensua was taken In 1894. but Its gain ta only seven per oenL, and lowa’a ta about the same. Kansas loset a^d prefftm yalns about eleven per cent The most surprising gain made ta In New Jersey and Masaachusetts. The former State increased about fifteen per eent between 1890 and 1895 and the latter State over eleven per cent In the same time. Rhode Island also showed an Increase of eleven per cent In Its population. The average growth In these nine States in the five years from 1890 to 1895 was about ten per cent. If It ta the same between 1895 and 1900 the average per eent of growthoover tbe United States proper would be twenty per cent for the de­ cade betweed 1890 and 1900. or an In­ crease of about 12,500.000. This added to the 62.622.250 population In 1890 would Indicate a population of about 75.000.000. Adding 9,000.0b0 for Ha­ waii. Porto Rice and the Philippine Islands and a total population of 84,­ 000.000 appears, or 5.000.000 less than the sanguine prediction*. This will probably be the extent of the growth In population the next, census win dteclcse. The real sur­ prise the enumeration will make to the country will probably be the dis­ covery that tbe East. South and middle West have grown more rapidly than th? trans-Mississippl States. The per­ centage of gain In the latter, with the exception of one or two States, will probably be found to have fallen off. This is not a discouraging fact, and it will not be surprising if the same ten­ dency ta ahown in the censuses of 1910 and 1910. The far West will have to wait until the waste places tn the East and South are filled up. wonderful At drutftete SfTJ oenn or om ▲ London bookseller has just been sentenced to nine months* Imprison­ ment for selling Indecent French books, fa spite of his counsel’s plea that a book to a foreign toncue could Common Council met in regular ses­ sion Friday evening.

PARIS IMPREGNABLE. '3 .hall never fofget th. Ont tine I wm under Ore.'' Mid an old soldier to a party of veterana who were lighting their battles o’er again in the rotun­ da. "We were aupporting a battery and lay down on a stretch of ground as level as a ball-room floor. The Confederates were beyond rifle-shot, but they opened on us with artillery, and they did everlastingly plow up the ground with shot and shell. Every old soldier knows that artillery fire at long range is not half so mu^h to be The French have been taught dom by past experience and aa a re­ sult have planned, and a few years ago finished, a system of fortifications round Pari* which are probably un­ equaled for the purposes for which they are intended by any similar fortificatlons in the world. A well-inform­ ed military writer, a member of the general staff of the German army, has given it as his opinion that a success­ ful seige of Paris would be. under present conditions, an impossible un­ dreaded as the rattle of rpusketry, which, sounds on a battle-fipld like Chinese firecrackers In a ^thunder­ storm, hut it Is a good deal more ■skeery’ to a novice. There we lay for half an hour, never moving a finger, watching the puffs of flame from a doten cannon and the shells come tear­ ing through the air with their fiendish shriek, apparently headed directly for our faces. I tell you. a position of that kind tries the very soul of your raw recruit. Give him a chance to shoot back and he is all right, but fighting Is one thing and waiting to get killed without striking a blow is quite another. But there was more ahead of us. After the artillery duel had raged for some time, a regiment of the enemy’s cavalry Issued from the wood with all the deliberation and precision of a dress parade. They were tall, athletic fellows, who sat on their horses like centaurs. They halt­ ed and dressed ranks, while the bat­ teries behind them hurled a perfect rain of shell over their heads. Wo could see their colonel riding down the line and pointing with his sword to cur hattery, which was plunging shells in nmnng them with frightful rapidity, but little effect. They advance a step or two. every horseman seeming to choose his ground. Here they come, Blowly, steadily, Hk«t a great gray wave, conscious of irresistible power. The bugle rings out sharp and shrill, they break into a quick trot, eight hundred sabers leap into the air. On they come; eight hundred yards, seven hundred, six hundred! Has our bat­ tery gone silent? Five hundred, four hundred! Charjge! Every spur sinks deep, a yell rises from every throat, and the column leaps forward like a thunderbolt, into the face of which craahes the canister from our four sixpounders. Great ragged holes are torn through deep columns, but they close instantly and come on unchecked. Now it is our turn! We are in front of the battery, in the pathway of the avklanebe. We pour a volley into it at eighty yards! A hundred brave men reel out of their saddles, a hundred horses go plunging to their knees! The line wavers! Another volley end an­ other! The line breaks, and suddenly retreats. While we swing our caps and cheer and hug each other for joy. And that was war!” dertaking. The new fortifications that surround the French capital, says Pearsoa’s, are some fifteen or twenty miles from the city, and are connected with Paris and with each other by a railway system which would enable the French com­ mander to quickly mass at one point a very large body of men, while the gen­ eral of the besieging army, if he wished to prevent the city from ob­ taining supplies and thu> shut up the people and the army that was defend­ ing It, would have to occupy a line ex­ tending more than one hundred miles and hence could not by any possibility collect a large number of his force at any one point to resist with even a shadow of hope an attack of the enemy. It required a German army of. ap­ proximately 500,000 men to lay siege to Paris from September 19, 1870, to January 80, 1871; but the authority we refer to irof the opinion that Jo re­ peat the same operation a German be­ sieging army would have to number more than 2,000,000 men, and the work of maintaining such a force and prop­ erly handling its parts would be some­ thing which few governments would care to undertake and few military commanders would be able to efficient­ ly perform. The French have spent upon these new fortifications an amount variously estimated at from >30,000,000 to >50,000.000, and hence ran well afford to sell the land occupied by some of the now obsolete fortifications of n gen­ eration ago.

D.. ISO* at ten o’clock When the young Laplander Is in love with a girl he and she run a race. He is heavily handicapped, so that she may win if she chooses, and if she out runs him he cannot propose again. Of course she suffers herself to be overitaken if she cares for him. but the iconsent of her parents must be ob­ tained before she can be married. The law of the land, says Woman's Life. Is very strict on this point, and in olden times the man was subject to capital punishment if he married without the consent of the girl’s par­ ents. After a Laplander has chosen a bride he sends her a present of a gir­ dle-,ring and a quantity of brandy. He goes as far as the door of her hut. but remains outside until invited to enter, when a bumper of brandy Is of­ fered to the girl’s father. If he drinks it it is a sign he consents to the mar­ riage, and the young lover then prom­ ises to give the girl some clothes and pays a sum of money down on the spot. This, of course la a remnant of mar­ riage by purchase, which in primitive times succeeded marriage by capture. Banns are published once in Lapland and the marriage ceremony is very short. The bride wears her hair loose and has a gold band round her head. Her presents and her dowry are gen­ erally reindeer, and she and her bridegroom remain with her parents for a year after marriage.

With charming Innocence the New Ydrk -'Staata-ZeltuDg says that the "reason why tariff receipts under tbe Wilson bill were। not so high as now was because of the, -business depression while the Wilson bill tasted.” This la a very true and very frank statement—possibly more so than -was Intended. There are now almost 250 million yel­ low “plunks” in Uncle Sam’s cash*box, worth 100 cents per plhnk. Such a condi­ tion would never have been possible bad Bryan and his anarchistic platform been successful three yean ago. This country, or any other, was never In as prosperous condition as It to to-day. A reciprocity treaty has been made and entered into between France and the United states, whereby tbe products of this country can enter France on tbe same terms as those from Great Britain aud •Germany. This means much to this country, and will give another outlet for American goods and products. During tbe last democratic administra­ tion tbe papers were filled with reports of factories closed, wages' reduced and an ■ever increasing army of unemployed Now they are filled with reports of new enterprises, voluntary advances of wages mnd constantly improving relations be­ tween employers and employees. A Canadian correspondent, writing on the trade between Canada and America, ways: "The policy of tbe United States toward Canada since 1867, with the brief tntamisslon while the Wilson act of 1894­ 189" was In force, has been one of grab all and give nothing.” Of course. It to no ■longer fashionable In this country to dis­ criminate against Americans. There to a faction of the democratic party that wants to use tbe tariff as an Issue to kill off tbe 16 to 1 fallacy. Any attempt to do this will prove disastrous, as the people are pretty well satisfied with a protective tariff after four bitter years under the Wilson bill, and would readily -vote that the remedy was worse than tbe disease. Tbe people of this generation . are well satisfied with a protective tariff. '"An American civil engineer, returning ■^from Manchuria, makes lhe Important an­ nouncement that before tbe close of tbe year 1900 through trains will be running Between Tort Arthur and Vladivostok and UL Petersburg.

Michigan will be solid Cor Me- another. The politicians dare not meddle with tbe existing status. The settlement of that question against tbe drift of Mr. McKinley’s administration would require a national uprising, of which there are at present no very significant signs. Until there to a clamor which cannot go unheeded, no politician, democratic or republican, Bryanlte or McKinley Ite, would dare tbe mysterious fate involved in “hauling down tbe flag.” And if such an uprising shall occur, both parties will tumble over each other In their eager baste to obey the people’s “mandate. Mr. Bryan will naturally be opposed to the tyranny of trusts, but he will be in favor of replacing it by the tyranny of socialism. There to a strong feeling against trusts also developing in the re­ publican party, and there to no doubt that Its movement against them will be safer and better for the country than tbe socialistic designs of the Bryan party. The truth to that the political wisdom and character of tbe country, so far as they are to be found Id any P<rty, are republican. All tbe character and ability of the democratic party have been driveo out of it by Bryantom. and such leaders as John G. Carlisle, Chas. 8. Fairchild, Grover Cleveland and their consistent associates in Mr. Cleveland’s two admin­ istrations are out of politics. They can . do nothing for the country except as private citizens. They have no partyTbe democratic party as It was when they were at tbe head of it no longer exists. Their places have been taken by men of small abilities, possessed of the intense egotism of Ignorance, and In­ spired by the narrowest bigotry and demagogy. On tbe other hand, there are many men>f excellent capacity and char­ acter remaining in the republican party, and they have large constituencies to which successful appeals for good gov­ ernment can be made. There are, too, some republican states which are not dominated by machines or by dangerous economic fanatics. In other words. It to in the republican party alone, of tee two political organizations on which tbe fate of tbe government rests. In which a contest for good government can result lu any success for those who wish to see tbe American genius for business, order, and Justice re-enter the domain of politics. It to true that there has been a defection from tbe republican party, but that was twenty-seven years ago. Incalculable good might have been accompllsht-d, many a grievous scandal might have been prevented, If all tbe courage of revolt bad not departed from the republican organization in 1872. In tbe twenty-seven years that have since tbe liberal republicans assembled at Cincinnati, the republicans party has suffered from the control of Its worst elements, because of tbe unpatriotic timid­ ity of its personally virtuous members. We have In tbe republican party, among other honest politicians. Senators Hoar, Lodge, Spooner, Allison, ex-Speaker Reed. Representative Henderson, Gov. Roose­ velt. and Secretary Hay. These names occur to us at once, and we mention them as Indicating tbe kind of men w# mean when we speak of those to whom tbe fortunes of the country can be safely trusted.

August 7.—A score of persons were killed Sunday by the collapse of the gang plank of the Mount Desert ferry. The Maine Cen­ tral Railroad ran excursions to Bar Harbor from all sections of Its line In Maine, the attraction being tbe war­ ships which were expected Sunday. The train, which left Bangor at 825, consisted of twelve cars jammed with people. At Mount Desert ferry, the ter­ minus of the line, the train is left for the boat, for an eight mile sail to Bar Harbor. When the excursion train from Ban­ gor arrived at the ferry there was a rush for tbe steamer Sappho. The first few passengers had crossed the gang­ plank safely, and It is estimated that 200 people were massed upon the plank. Suddenly they fell, the plank glvlug way beneath them. The long timber supporting the plank broke in the mid­ dle. The hinges held up one end and tbe chain the other, while th? broken ends of the plank dropped, and a strug­ gling, screaming mass of humanity was plunged Into the water fifteen feet below the wharf. A few clung to the Inclined sides of the plank, but at least 150 were struggling In the water. The piling of the yharf partially penned them In on three sides and the boat lying at the wharf closed the outer end of the opening. By noon seventeen had been recov­ ered. Three other jiersons were taken on board tbe Sappho and died on the way to Bar Harbor. The exact number of dead will not be known for some time yet. as a strong tide sweeps under the pier, and some bodies may have been carried away by it. A diver, who was set to work without delay, was engaged in his search until 5 o’clock, but only seventeen bodies were found. TITMAN.

It formed. ell would have been well. But Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, former presl dent of tbe Iowa State college, who through travel and direct correspondence has gained personal knowledge of tbe recent past and present conditions in the Philippines, says that tbe auomption that we are trying to impose a govern* meat on the Filiolnoe witboat their con­ sent cannot be maintained in tbe light of tbe following facto, perfectly aa then tic and easily proved:. Agulnaldo and bis voluntary following repreaented at tbe commencement of hostilities lees than one-tenth of the territory of the Philip­ pine Islands, and never had even nominal control over more than two-sevenths.

Tbe allegation that the Philippines have been acquired with the Intention to govern them with­ out tbe consent of their people, is a pare assamptioD, as unjust as It is unpatri­ otic. All tbe froth of turbulent rhetoric about violating tbe principles of Wash­ ington and Jefferson arises from tbe false asaumptlon that the Insurgent govern­ ment, under Agulnaldo, represents tbe people of all tbe Philippines. Onee con­ cede tbe fact that it was ibe purpose of Agulnaldo and bls adherents to use tbe arms provided by tbe United States to force Tagalog domination upon tbe peo­ ple of North Luzon and upon tbe tribes whlpb inhabit tbe other islands, and the situation is revealed aa It actually exists.

Mr. Bruce served twenty-five years of experience in Henry County, Kentucky in the breeding of fast horses before going to Kansan He finally decided to go where he could have aweae to a large range and higher altitude. that his stock could develop more thoroughly, an idea which he and a great many others have since learned to be a very conservative one. While these horses were reared in one of our Western States, there is not one drop of pony blood flowing through their veins. They are a cross between the Kentucky mares and French Canadian stallions; also Tennessee stallions for saddlers and drivers. Some of our stock is thoroughly broken for both double and single harness, some for double teams only, while others are merely lialter broken. Anyone in need of a driver, saddler, delivery horse or an all purpose animal should take advan­ tage of this unprecedented opportunity. We extend ■ to egch and every one a cordial invitation, and es­ pecially all speculators.

WE WILL COMMENCE SELLING PROMPTLY AT TWO P. M. REGARDLESS OF WEATHER. In his latest preserved speech, which was removed from tbe cannery and open­ ed on the occasion of Gen. Alger’s re­ turn to Detroit, Governor Pingree solemn­ ly declared that In his Judgment one of the greatest if not tbe greatest menace to our Institutions was tbe press. We are sorry we cannot unqualifiedly endorse tbe newspapers of this country. Many few of them of them are unwholesome, brutally wicked. But the great majority are In morals and decency so far above tEe chief executive of this state that com­ parison Is Impossible. And to think of Hazen S. Pingree calling tbe press venal and bad! this man, who when Mayor of Detroit over and over declared that tbe street railroads of that city never cost to exceed >6,000,0000. and yet who lately urged upon that city the giving of a 48 yean franchise to tbe Detroit street railroads, and then recommended that, after that was given, tbe city pay 117,000,000 for what had cost but $6,000­ 000! Think of that kind of a man. de­ nouncing anything. To their everlast­ ing credit be It said the press of Detroit opposed this monstrous outrage. They defeated this pet scheme of this dema­ gogue and sham reformer.

When writing kind­ ly Bientlan that yon read this liberal offer In tbe Hastings Bajtee* It will be remembered that Queen Victoria spoke a message of friendship and good will to the Emperor Meneiek, of Abyssinia, after the recent vic­ tory in the Soudan. The message cre­ ated a marked impression on his. Ma­ jesty. The royal words were delivered on a Sunday, the phonograph working excellently. The tones of her Majes-ty’s voice were reproduced with re­ markable clearness, and Menelek was so pleased that nothing would satisfy him but to hear the message at least a dozen times. First he would listen to the words as they came from the trum­ pet of the phonograph, and then he would use the ear tubes. When his curiosity and delight had been satis­ fied. he relapsed Into solemn silence, and ordered the royal salute and re­ mained standing while seventeen guns were fired. Menelek himself.has tried to send a message by the phonograph, so that he appreciates the difficulty of securing a satisfactory record. Mexico's Stun Ijingnac*. Mexico is a land of many tongues; but above the Indian dialects and Spanish, there 1b one universal lan­ guage, the language of signs. It ia the most expressive of all; the Mexican eye and hand are eloquent members. It Is capable of infinite variation; its shad­ ing and suggestions are beyond all translation. But there are certain ges­ tures that have a fixed meaning, a signification well understood by every nation and every tribe from Guatemala to Texas, says Modern Mexico. A general upward movement of tbe body, shoulders shrugjred, eyebrows raised, lips pouted and palms out­ spread, varies in meaning from "I don't know and I don’t care,” to a most respectful, "Really, sir, I do not under­ stand you." The index finger moved rapidly from right to left, generally before the face, means, "No more.” or simply "No." To move the right hand palm outward from the body toward another person means "Just wait; I’ll be even with you yet." The Index finger on the temple, moved with a boring twist, means “He's drunk." The right hand held to the lips, three fingers doubled, thumb and little finger erect, varies from “He drinks” to “Have one with me " To move tbe open hand over the cheek In Imitation of a raxor has ref­ erence to the idiom “playing the bar­ ber," and means "to flatter.” All four fingers and the thumb held points together and moved toward the mouth means "to eat” The right hand b»id before the fade, the two middle fing'-ni moving rapidly, is a familiar salutation. What Is said to have been the first cantilever bridge In existence is the Kintal bridge, near the station of Iwakuni, on the Sanyo Railway in Japan. This bridge was built some 240 years ago by Daimlo. the governor of the province of Swo. The bridge extent1* across the Nlah’klgawa river and is famed throughout western Japan. It consists of five aereri-circular wooden arches of 150 feet dear span ench. The piers of the bridge are 33x18 feet m plan, the stoneji being cemented by poured lead. Each span la formed of five wooden girders imbedded In the masonry of the piers and extended length by length toward th{ centre and held together by iron bolts." The spans at centre are eighty , feet above the water In the repairing of this bridge It has been the custom to renew one of the arches thoroughly every |ve yei-< so that once in twenty-five years the whole structure has been renewed The atruetnre ia attractive from an engineering standpoint and many travelers go each year to view thia sacieDt but durable pieoe of bridge buBdlag. • Torturing Disfiguring Humors Eruptions of the Skin and Scalp with Loss of Hair CURED BY CUTICURA.

A strong police force now guards the office of the Anti-Semitic League, where a crowd numtiering thousands completely blocks the traffic. Win­ dows in the vicinity are (filled with people anticipating the storming of the building. Shopkcepera nearby have closed their shutters. While a general officer in uniform was riding along the street the crowd pressed up around his carriage crying “Vive 1’Armee” and "Mort a Julfs.” Paris papers, without distinction, express indignation at the outrage of which M.

The Temps deplores the "state of disorder into which the Dreyfus affair has dragged thie country,” and says it is “high time for us to stand up and be ourselves a$raln.” The Libre Parole, which attacks the government, says: "To-day we have only assassins. To-morrow it will be civil war." The Figaro says: "Thlsjpistol shot marks . the culmination of the crisis and will restore us to the path of good sense.” The Liberte says: "The outrage is only an incident in the era of catas­ trophes toward which the i country is rushing.” Tbe Journal des Debats snys: "The revolver shot is bound to be the emi. and oue fine morning It will be closely followed by the horrors of x*ivll war.” Thj Mluiteur Universal ^tribute? the outrage to “the excitement caused by the government’s efforts to save Dreyfas” and “to the arbitrary acts that have been committed In the ab­ sence of the chamber of deputies.” P • t TEXT OF THE BORDERAU. • WITHOLT INSURANCE B.

Not more than one of the four towns have been yet heard from, but enough is known to warrant the state­ ment that one-fifth of the dwellings in the Island are totally destroyed and their owners are without any shelter whatever or any food beyond what has been saved from the debris. The coffee crop and most of the trees are ruined, and thus reliance for support Is gone. Fully one-third of the people subsist entirely on fruit and a small degree on tubers. .All the former 1* destroyed and much of the latter are rotting lu the ground. Many thousands of cuttie are drowned and the debris carried down by the rivers is strewn over the ocean with the wreck of the storm and the dead bodies of animals. The deaths from falling walls and drowning wil 1 number more than a thousand and may be several times this number. The state of distress is very great and when green fruits saved from the debris are consumed the suffering will be very great. THE SCHOOL OE MUSI6 Cbjcago. Evanston, 111. r°t' P. C.

He had a long consul­ tation Tuesday with Adjt-Gen. Corbin relative to the army, its strength, equipment and supplies, these being considered in connection with ths statements which have peen furnished by the heade of the different bureaus. The question of enlisting and the se­ lection of officers for additional volun­ teer regiments also was under consid­ eration, but it was stated that no de­ cision to call for more troops was con­ sidered. While It is said that five reg­ iments will be organized, the number has not been definitely determined upon. Neither is It settled whether all shall be Infantry regiments. It has been suggested that another cavalary regiment or two may be of great ad-, vantage in the Philippines. The only objection to organizing two cavalry regiments Is said to be the great diffi­ culty and cost of transporting horses to the Philippines. Tbe recruiting now going on will continue.

In this year, however, the Sta­ tion mycologist made a series of ex­ periments in combating-these diseases especially the mildew, or “blight,’’ and found in Bordeaux mixture, 1-to-U for­ mula, an almost perfect preventive. The sprayed plants returned their own­ er I163H per acre net profit after the unaprayed plats bad ceased yielding. In 1897, early cucumbers, sprayed with the same mixture, gave twice as great weight of fruit as unsprayed plants beside them; and an acre of late cu­ cumbers yielded 101.960 pickles while the average for the year on Long Island was less than 20,000 pickles per acre. In 1898, spraying on three farms in different parts of the Island showed an average gain of |4M2 per acre from spraying. To produce these last results re­ quired seven or eight applications of Bordeaux mixture (1-to-U), beginning about July 20 and repeating every eight Dr ten days until frost.

A New Cm' for Barnyard Manure. A French authority states that farm­ ers are wasting their lime in using barnyard manure or refuse as a ferti­ lizer. The contention is that the chem­ ical constituents of manure, which alone are valuable, form such a small part (about 1.62 per cent.) that there is a -treat waste of time and labor in putting it on the land. The rest con­ sists of water, of unassimilable woody fibre and mineral matter of which tbe -Abil has always a plentiful supply All In brief reply, I asked this farmer if these gases.

Baying that he needed them. Harold Leeney, a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, of England, says he has discovered a new science by which the rules of hu­ man phrenology can, to a certain ex­ tent, be applied to horses. He Hluatrates his opinions upon horse phre­ nology by diagrams, which are repro­ duced herewith. . Figure 1 shows a horse of the high­ est grade. It is that of an intelligent Irish hunter. The' pointed, sensitive and ever-moving ears and the gentle curvtj of the profile marks this animal as one who would be a family pet and would nose in his master’s pocket for sugar instead of trying to eat the baby. Figure 2 te one of those double-backaction horses that can only be success­ fully soothed with a length of lead pipe or a few feet of a log chain. According to Mr. Leeney when any one asks you to buy a horse with a dent in' the mid­ dle of its face like that tn the illustra­ tion you had better refuse. If you have recently become possessed of such a horse you are recommended to take out accident insurance at once. A.horse which has a skull configura­ tion like that of figure 2 will kick, balk and bite. A horse with a skull like that shown in Figure 3 is a pretty good sort of ani­ mal. but he Is apt to be scary of circus parades and traction engines. If he shines it will not be from vice, but be­ cause he is honestly ecared. If this sort of horse balks you are not advised to build a fire under him to start him going. What he needs Is coaxing.

During the eighteilnth century a school was estabp. i '-j Robert Raikes, a reformer, in Great i’.riia " tor instruction In the Bible, ( were organized and paid teachers srie placed over them. At first tbe movement was not successful, but after sei-.e changes the full benefit of tbe plan began to be recognized. It was found that diderent principles must be applied for th- nntrol of the Sunday school than for the day school. Throughout Its history the Sunday school has been really efficient oo y when the teachers have worked for love and not tor money. Sot -uuthe end of the- eighteenth oentnry were Sunday schools generally estab­ lished in Great Britain and this country bat w rapid has been the growth and so greatly has tbe enrollment Increased that new A’e Sunday schools gather together children of every nation and teach them tbe tieautifu!

Ho'.v Scriptures in tbe capacity of Sunday schools, a mighty army that may we.l influence the destiny of the nation. What has been tbe purpose of this great agrocy in God's.work? For it Is acceded without question that the Sunday School is -A God. What has been the primary aim of this institution that has grown so rapidly? ‘ Our subject a.-ks for ibe true aim. This lead? jtu the sopposit on that some other aim wan the true one i nay be accepted by the people as that governing the Sunday s:n,.'oi. mranuisno 'longer, as it may have breo once, simplj to catechise childr?n and hear them rec te memory verses, nor is It to furnish amusement for them. There is a higher purpose than either ver.-e reciting or amusement Again, we tnnst not think that the Sunday school is a substitute lo children for church. This will krep the young people from the cbureh where they should be taught to go ■ x earliest childhood, and from those bscebts fur which the Sunday school can- uot br a substitute. It -will also cause the cider people to leave tbe Sunday school to children, thinking it is designed for iheiu only. a» many falsely Imagine now. T'.r Sunday school Is not for tbe children oalj, i! is tor all ages and all classes: but wt "peak of the a.-tn as it respects them cr.H.y because they do, in fact, form the me. -rhy of attendants. The Sunday school is not for the amuse­ ment of the scholars, nor fur their instruc­ tion exerpt mat the Instruction be to a cer­ tain md. The Sunday school grew out of God’s great purpose and man’s great need, •’fni's purpose was to establish an effective agency for the salvation of the world. Ibr fact Is not recognized as much as it should be that tbe chief alm of tbe Sunday fchon). if it |5 in harmony with the Great ’’it l that originated it. is to bring souls to Christ. We look to evangelists and epeeial services of the church to gather in those who are seeking tbe Saviour. This work ®hould net be foreign to tbe Sunday setrnor, but irshould be set before it as a ■u<h aim and purpose. And In seeking to carry out this purpose, patience and hopef Jlne‘v should be exercised in the greatest tlegrte. for results of a spiritual nature are often slow in showing themselves even ■Her the most faithful ministration of the Word, a long step has been token tow«’< success, however, when the superlnUnden: and teachers recognize that tbe real aim Of (heir endeavor 1* tbe ooover’*on of tbw young people. 1 he Bible has been called tbe ofralvatica. text-book If od every Sabbath of tbe year one-sixth of the population of our ■“d is gathered In the Sunday school for с purpose of studying this text-bonk, s uuld we not see results from tbe lessons <re learned, and should not the Sunday Mhool be tbe means in God’s bands of tbe wnreralon of many of It* scholars?

And that is not because the claim would be morally culpable as a lie. but because it would be legally pun­ ishable as a fraud. The law permits you to masquerade as a doctor in an advertise­ ment. just so long as you don’t actually -claim to be a doctor, or put M. D. after your name. That’s why the advertisement is worded "write to a woman ” Instead of -write to a doctor. Common sense has brought more than ' half-a-million women, afflicted with some form of female disease, to Dr. R. V. Pierce ms one of the most expert physicians in the United States in the treatment of female diseases. Dr. Pierce is a specialist. He has given more than thirty years of active practice to the treatment of female dis­ eases. Dr: Pierce is not a " physician ” by ’courtesy. He is a physician regularly gradmated, legally empowered to practice and with thirty years of experience iu the treat­ ment of diseases of women, which he has made his specialty. The offer of free consultation by letter made by Dr. Pierce is a real offer, an honest offer. It is an offer backed by a medical institution, with a world-wide reputation, a staff of nearly a score of regularly grad­ uated physicians, a practice which reaches every state in the Union and a record of more than half-a-million women treated -■and ninety-eight out of every hundred perfectly cured.

SCENES a os 11 40 12 30 COMMISSIONER OF POLICE STABBED •Y THE RIOTERS. Paris, Aug. 20.—Paris was on Sun­ day the scene of most serious disturb­ ances, recalling some aspects of the commune. In response to an appeal of the journals Le People and Lu Petite Republique, groups of anarchists and socialists gathered about 8 o’clock In the afternoon in the Place | de la Republlque. The police had taken pre­ cautions and there seemed no danger of disorders. Sebastian Faure and Faberot, wellknown revolutionary anarchists, were the ringleaders. Faure, standing on the pedestal of tbe statue which rises in the center of the Place de la Republlque addressed the crowd. Among other things he said that the ‘anarchists should be masters of tbe streets. Tbe police then interfered and dis­ lodged Faure and Faberot, making three arrests. The crowd at this point dispersed, but a column of demonstra­ tors, headed by Faure and Henri d’Horr, made for the Place de la Na­ tion. The police broke through the column and a struggle for the mastery fol­ lowed. Shots were fired and M. Goulller, commissary of police, was twice stabbed with a knife. This threw the police into moment­ ary confusion. The mob reassembled and ran toward tbe Place de la Na­ tion. The police, reinforced by a squad that had been held In reserve, made another attempt to stem the cur­ rent, and fresh, tierce lighting occur­ red, three constables being Wounded. Faure and d’Horr jumped into a passing street car that was going to tbe Place de la Republique and the car driver on arriving there gave a sig­ nal to the police, who immediately ar­ rested them both, together with two other anarchists, Joseph Ferrier and J van Pwrln. All were conveyed to the Chateau d’Eau barracks. Only d’Horr was found In possession of firearms. Meantime tbe anarchist mob at­ tacked the Church of St. Ambrose, smashing windows, breaking statues, chopping furniture and tearing down the crucifix and statue of the virgin, endiug by setting fire to the pulpit, when police succeeded In gaining the mastery, arresting 25 anarchists. Guerin Still Holds the Fort. There is no change In tbe situation at the building In the Rue de Chabrol, where M. Jules Guerin and his anti­ Semite companions are entrenched in a state of siege against the police who have orders for their arrest. ' Crowd* Dispersed. Paris, Aug. 21.—Shortly after mid­ night noisy crowds began demonstrat­ ing In the Rue de Chabrol, but they were soap dispersed by the police. Up to"the present hour fid persons have been reported Injured, Including several policemen. No one, so far as known, waa Injured by firearms. Near-' ly all were hurt by being crushed or trodden under foot. A body of rioters, who had taken refuge In the court yard of the Gare de 1’Este was expelled by the police, who made 25 arrests.

Why should we begrudge tbe Democrats tbe pleasure and profit they anticipate from digging up the tariff Issue? For tbe last three years they have grown thin and worn sitting up nights with the corpse of free silver, .and they now only seek a ■tnueh-needed rest The trust issue comes as a sort of god­ weed to the cowed tariff reformers. They can now talk about doing away with pro­ tection as the first step towards getting rid •of the trusts. Everything is grist which •comes to the democratic mill, but no man knows from day to day what is tbe next is­ sue to be fed in. o Tbe wicked Dingley tariff is working -havoc. Ln tbe fiscal year just closed all the countries of tbe world, with the excep­ tion of four which reduced tbelr Imports •of breadstuffs. largely increased tbelr pur-chasea in tbe United States. The sales of •manufactured articles to all parts ot tbe world has been beyond all precedent democratic leaders have gotten beyond trying to “explain." Mr. Henry O. Havemeyer*e Intemperate declaration that “Tbe mother of all trusts Is the customs Tariff*’ has been so com­ pletely disproved since the declaration was made that it is unlikely that even Mr. Havemeyer would venture to repeat it even If be should be provoked to make a retort discourteous by criticisms ot the Sugar Trust and its methods. Tbe customs Tariff Is not tbe mother of all trusts; neither Is It tbe mother of any trust, in the sense of fostering such combi­ nations, or Indeed In any sense whatever. Tbe genesis ot trusts Is greed. Greed was the origin of the most gigantic trust ever farmed in this country, tbe Standard Oil Trust The Sugar Trust had precisely the dame Inception, and Mr. Havemeyer and hts associates.

A few years ago this wideawake Pa­ risian was an assistant in a provincial museum of natural history, and while there he learned and saw a great deal which has since been of much use to him. So much, indeed, did be learn that when he lost his position he went to Paris and determined to start in business for himself.

WHITE. Like nearly all of the men of his race wbo bare risen to. prominence. Mr. White owes his success in life largely to himself, to his own perseverance and his ability to conquer difficulties. His early studies were much interrupt­ ed because of the necessity he was un­ der to do manual labor on farms and in tbe forests, and il was not until be was seventeen years old that his seri­ ous education was actually'begun at what was then known as a "subscrip­ tion school.” He finally came to Wash­ ington and entered Howard University, where he was graduated with honors In 1877. paying from bls own earnings all of his college and personal expensSubsequently he began tbe study of medicine, but finding this uncongenial, he returned to North Carolina, where he began tbe study ot law under Judge1 William J. Clarke, and was admitted1 to tbe bar. Later, when admitted lo! practice In the Supreme Court of this state, be was the only colored man inJ a claai of thirty-two. To meet tbe ex-! pen sea of bl* law course Mr. White’ taught school, and was then, as be i*i now. an enthusiast on the higher edu-i cation of hi* race, believing that Its development will come through this means only. He is remembered a* & remarkable teacher in that be inspired bi* students to their best efforts, and gave them new ambition* and a wider point of view.

Indeed, he to cred-' lied with having done more to advance' education in North Carolina than any utber man in that State. Mr. White waa nominated to fate' present place by acclamation, aud at1 tbe election worsted his opponent byi more than four thousand majority. He* baa all of the attributes that go to make a politician; an understanding ot human nature, a deep knowledge of public queatlona. and he Is rarely gift­ ed as an orator, logical, forcible and convincing.

Born In Kent, Knglud, ot quaker pannu. he scarcely knew what a theater was un­ till he had nearly reached his majority. His boyhood was spent practically In a boat. Rowing from morning to night he strove to become the best oarsman in his oounty. Finally, how­ ever, when 19 years old, his father, who wm one of the queen’s judges, died. With the money left him he went to London, plunged Into specula­ tion and soon found himself penniless and compelled to support himself. One evening while visitlag a family, pne of the eons ot which was connected with a theatrical company, he learned that the London Geyety Company needed a man to play tbe second part. It was a oaee of neceeeity. His living had to be earned, no Mr. Kelcey applied for the position, wm accepted and soon made his debut on the stage. Off the stage Mr. Kelcey leads a life supposed by tbe general public to be far removed from the actor’s world. He is quiet, does not smoke, is not a club man, does not drink—in tact, he passes a very placid, prosaic existence. Books are a hobby with Mr. Kelcey. and so are dogs and cat*. He revels In books, and his substantial private library contains many treasusM.

He Stole It And the Latter Perhaps some trace of the bicycle be­ longing to Louis Greusel, which was stol­ en Saturday night, can be found by apply­ ing at tbe Aldrich hardware store at Hick­ ory Corners. Monday a stranger called at the hardware store leading a bicycle and asked Clare Aldrich if he didn’t want to buy a wheel. Purely in a joking manner Clare looked at the fellow and then at tbe wheel and asked: “Where did yon steal it?” That was enough. Tbe fellow turned pale, hesitated a moment, and then made a hurried departure, leaving tbe bicycle behind him. Soon tbe news spread around tbe town. Kalamazoo and Battle Creek officers were communicated with but at first tbe officials reported “no wheel missing.” A little later, however, report was received from Kalamazoo that a wheel had been stolen and 810 reward was offer­ ed for tbe arrest of tbe offender. Then everybody commenced to hunt for tbe fel­ low that tried to sell tbe wheel, but all in vain. Tbe last seen of him was in Eben Pen­ nock’s cornfield about a mile north of Hickory where be had hidden his coat. Mr. Pennock got a good look at tbe fol­ low and asked him what be wanted and received the reply that “be was bunting for bees.” Nothing has since been seen or heard of tbe young man though there is a suspicion as to who he is, and be suddenly disap­ peared as completely and effectually as though tbe earth bad swallowed him. About two bouts after tbe yonag fellow called at tbe store tbe sheriff of Kalama­ zoo county was at Hickory and hot on tbe trail, but up to Tuesday afternoon no trace of him could be found. From all appearances it would seem that be came into Hickory from tbe north, inasmuch as be left bls coat in a corn­ field north of there. We were unable to get a description of tbe wheel or its color or name. The employees of the Wool Boot Co. and the Table Co. repectfully request that tbe business men of Hastings close their places of business on Labor Day in order that all may embrace tbe opportun­ ity of attending tbe annual picnic given by tbe above named employes od that dale at Cole’s landing, Tbornapple lake.

This is true because it works directly at the roots of all disease —the digestive system, the blood, the nerves. Keep these in healthy condi­ tion and you cannot be sick. Many of<the'cures of the “Golden Medical Discovery *’ seem almost mirac­ ulous. Its effect is almost immediate. It takes hold at once. It tones up the atomach, invigorates the liver, regulates the bowels. It gets right into the blood and carries ttrength and comfort to every fiber of the body. It nourishes and invigorates the weakened, irritated nerves and puts Che entire system in perfect tune. It is a safe medicine. Safe for adults —safe for children. It contains no sugar, Vmp, whisky, alcohol or dangerous opiMea. Therefore, it does not create a •kving for stimulants. It is distinctly •temperance medicine.

August 28.—Lan­ sing police officers about 3:30 o’clock Sunday morning succeeded In arrest* ing throe men wbo gave-their. names as Joseph Wilson, Michael Donovan and Frank Reed. They bad committed a bold robbery and perhaps murder Saturday night. Four Grand Rapids boys who were stealing a ride on a D., G. R. & W. freight train from Grand Rapids to Detroit were held up on the train by the three men and robbed of a silver watch and what lit­ tle change they had in their pockets. Joseph Popixhisky, one of the la<)p, stated that he did not have any money. Tbe robbers Informed him that if he was not telling the truth they would kill him. Upon taking off the lad’s shoes they found thirty cents in his stockings. After taking the money the men grabbed Popizlnsky and threw him bodily off the top of a freight car while the train was running twenty miles an hour. This occurred In the vicinity of McCords and the other boys, at the first opportunity, jumped from the train while It was running slowly and catching on the caboose Dotitled tbe trainmen. When the train reached Grand Ledge the conductor notified the Lansing po­ lice officers of the occurrence by wire and the men were arrested when the train pulled into this city. The plun­ der taken from the boys was found in their possession. The boys who are being held here as witnesses against tbe robbers are Jesse Delosh, Orril VauHelden and David Sparks, the latter a colored boy. No trace has been found of their com­ panion who was thrown from tbe train and it Is feared be was killed. On account of the desperate character of the robbers, two of whom were armed with revolvers, the trainmen did not dare to molest them. Ne. 70 Lady's Belt Buckle. . No. 72 A School Bag.

Be pinched himself two or three times t? be sure that he wasq’t dreaming, and then after getting tbe money he didn’t know what to de with it. There were 32*4 o» tte >20 gold pieces, between 8300 and S400 in silver, besides many coins ut smaller denomination, tbe total amount ot which was 57,483. Not knowing what to do with tbe money, and fearing to disclose the secret to others lest he be robbed, be buried the money |„ another place on tbe farm ‘until he had completed hto spring work. After thl work was done be dug the money ng- again and moved It into hla cellar where he bld it under tbe potato bin. The money was covered with a sort of verdigris of green coatiog, and Chas, spent bis spare time in looking at his find \ ana cleaning off th? coins. As to just how the money came to be ' z buried where it was found is a matter of ■much speculation. There to a tradition that yr-ars ago an old Indian Chief sold a traet <•! land, got the money, and took it to bis wigwam, wheh the other Indians tbongla that they ought to come in for a share of it. and Insisted upon his dividing ii among them. This the old Chief re­ fused to do. but buried tbe money. For doing this it Is said that the Chief was tor­ tured almost to death in order to make him reveal tee place, but he refused to do ad an ecured ch are e perbelDg Imltatettefs r imi, aysand things n the good tanner rengih o the eount- ss. and the secret of its hiding place died with bitn. It is said that old settlers around Morrison lake have long known of treasures being burled In the vicinity, though none knew just where It was, and some have gone so far as to institute starcL for the same, but always without success, it is thought that there is other buried treasure in the neighborhood some­ where, as one uld resident says that the old Chief received two gold watches with tbe niouey. and that these were buried with the cash. For this reason it is thought that other treasure is buried there. There are some who think that the money was buried by robbers, but the con­ dition of the kettle and the coins indicate that both have been in the earth for a long letrmt quiet- time, and the majority favor the Idea that the coin was burled by the Indians. This route nner* seders Part of tbe^ question doubtless, could be more readily settled by knowing the dates oo the coins but these we understand that Mr. Dillenbeck refuses to divulge. , H was a lucky strike to say the least *nd Mr. Dillenbeck Is to be congratulated tarkst OWiEX Frond.

After a brief illness of two days, Miss Susie Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, W. J. Smith, died Saturday, September 2, In Grand Rapids, the cause of death being uncertain.

Last evening John MeOmber returned from Jackson, the time ot bls sentence having expired. Daring his confinement his conduct has been highly commendable enabling him to somewhat shorten his sen­ tence by reason of good time. It is the opinion of many that be Yrsp more sinned against than sinning? The punishment to him haj been great, and It is tbe wish of all that he will profit by tbe bitter lesson and become a useful citizen and a good member of society, and in doing this he should be given a helping band rather than a cold shoulder. The object of pun­ ishment is not for revenge, but for refor­ mation: if the object is attadned tbe aim of the law In protecting society has been fully/rfet.

Evidence has accu­ mulated which is incontrovertible, of which the following is a specimen : Cancer is hereditary in our family, my father, a sister and an aunt having died from this dreadful disease. My feelings may do imagined when the hor­ rible disease made its appearance on my side. It was a malignant Cancer, eating inwardly in such a way as to cause great alarm. The disease seemed beyond the skill of the doctors, for their treatment did no good whatever, the Cancer growing worse all the while. Numerous remedies were used for it. but the Cancer grew steadily worse, until ,it seemed that I was doomed % to follow the others of the family, for I know how deadly Cancer is, especially when inherited. I was advised to try Swift's Specific (3. S. S.), which, from the first day, forced out the poison. I continued its use until I had taken eighteen bottles, when I was cured sound and well, and have had no symptoms of the dreadful affliction, though many years have elapsed. S. S.

In keeping with tbe expressed inten­ tion of making this column as practical as possible, it has been thought best to continue tbe discussion of government. Special emphasis to laid upon government not because it to the sole end for which a teacher should strive, but because it must exist before anything else can be accomplished. “The teacher should feel that control lost, all to lost** In the “good old days’’ good order was consider­ ed the end and alm of every teacher. The school that came up to tbe "pin-drop” or “clock-tick’’ test was termed ideal regardless of tbe quality of the instruc­ tion imparted. A little later the element of instruction came In to command at­ tention, and then the ideal school was made up of students who were orderly and who applied themselves diligently to their work. Good order and application In study are two very excellent condtttons but they should not serve as ends. In­ deed these conditions may be secured by means that are directly opposed to the right development of character. Prizes and rewards will sometimes accomplish this result, but one could hardly say that such methods taeufeate right Ideas upon the student's mind. The ideal school should train Its pupils ta self­ application and self-control so that they may become good citizens without think­ ing that the world to under some special obligation to them simply because they are good citizens. With most schools tbe responsibility government Is thrown entirely upon tbe teacher, the patrons not co-operating as they should. This1 being tbe case tbe teacher should make hto personality as strong as possible. On page 10 of the Manual are given ten rules that may be of assistance ta attaining this desired end. Last week we spoke of tbe need of em­ phasizing rules 4, 5 and 6. A short dis­ cussion of each one of these may be bene­ ficial. Distinctive Feature* New Farm.

Through tbe process mentioned (the carbon, or manifold process). tbe order and the advice are produced simultaneous­ ly. By tbe Mme operation the essential particulars of name of payee, date, amount, and place of payment, as written ta the order, are duplicated, or repro­ duced, and made to appear, in tbe adviceprecisely as in tbe order. The liability to mistake to thus greatly lessened, and a saving of time effected. Discrepancies between order and advice, which, by en­ tailing additional correspondence and causing delay In payment, have hereto­ fore been a source of annoyance to the Department and postmaster, as well al­ to remitters and payees, are prevented, and absolute uniformity between the order and advice Insured.

This they do by driving the poison into the system, and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash and mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break oat into sores, and the fight is continued indefinitely, the drugs doing the system more damage than the disease itself. . Mr. H. L. Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark. N. J., says: “I had hundred dollars with the doctors, when I realized that they could do me no rood- I had large spots all over my body, and these soon broke out into running sores, and I endured all the suffering which this vile disease pro­ duces. I decided to try S. 8. 8. as a last resort, and was soon greatlv improved. 1 followed closely your 'Direc­ tions for Self-Treatment,* and'the large splotches on my chest began to prow paler and smaller, and before long disappeared entirely.

Since the days of Adam, who is said to have Invented laughter when he awoke and saw Eve by his side, no two people have laughed alike. Tbe laugh la as distinct as the voice. Wo­ men laugh differently from men. chil­ dren from women; Indeed, even the laugh of a full-bearded man is differ­ ent from that which he laughs when he has shaved. The Abbe Damascenl thought he had discovered in the various enunciations of laughter a sure guide to the tem­ peraments of the laughers. Thus he said “Ha! ’Ha! Ha!" belonged to a choleric perhon; "He! He! He!" to a plegmatic one. and "Ho! Ho! Ho!” to the sanguine. And it Is a scientific fact that while men commonly laugh in A and O, women usually laugh in SUe Gfwu. the centre." Great men have often fancied it a part of greatness to refrain from hilar­ ity. Philip IV. of Spain is said to have laughed only once In his life. That; was when his bride. Anne of Austria, ■wept at hearing that the Queens of Spain had no feet. She took with Ger­ man literalness an old piece of Spanish courtesy. As she was journeying to­ ward Spain some German nuns met her and desired to present some stockings of their own knitting. Tbe worthy princess was about to accept the gift when a Spanish grandee of her suite interfered with the remark that it would be against etiquette, as the Queens of Spain were not supposed to have any use for stockings, whereat the princess began to weep, under­ standing, poor woman, that on her ar­ rival in Spain her feet would be cut off. . Lord Chesterfield said: ’’Nobody has seen me laugh since I have tome to my reason." and Congreve makes his Lord Froth in the "Double Dealer" say "When I laugh I always laugh alone." Young people and fools laugh easily, says an old proverb, which often has proved true. NeyerfihelbsB. the singer Robert gave lessons tn laughter in Paris and in London in 1805, and. so far at least as filling bls own purse went, with suc­ cess. He held that men and women could not laugh “decently and syste­ matically’’ without proper training, and said that a person who could laugh only in one tone seemed to him like one who co'bld say only oui and non; but that a trained laughter should ex­ press many things. It Is a curious fact that it is only among the French and among the ancients that we read of people laugh­ ing themselves to death. We, in our days, must have either more jokes or a duller appreciation of wit. Zeuxis is said to have died of laughing at a painting of an old woman, his own handiwork. Philemon expired laugh­ ing at a donkey who ate so contented­ ly the philosopher’s figs that, with his last articulate breath, he sent out his last glass of wine to the beast, who drank it with equal enjoyment, and thus proved himself, it would seem, not such a donkey after all. It remains true, however, that laugh­ ter is good for the health. “Laugh and grow fat” is the old proverb. Sy­ denham maintained that the arrival of a clown in a village was as wholesome aa that of twenty donkeys laden with drugs. Tissot, the famous French physician, cured consumption and liter complaints by causing his patients to laugh, and Erasmus, through immod­ erate laughter at the rude Latin of Kutten's "Letters of Obscure Men," broke an Internal abscets which had long plagued him. “When a man smiles, and much more when he laugha, it adds something to his fragment of life," said Sterne, who wished laughter enumerated in the materia medics, holding It as a cura­ tive of the same kind as coughing, sneezing <nd perhaps vomiting, only much pleasanter than any of these.

E and L Those who practice laughing to any extent have been -divided wittily Into dimpl er s—and to know how charming they can be, one has only to go back to Charles Reade’s "Simpleton with a Dimple"—smilers, grlnners, horse­ laughers and sneerera. This is to lay down a science of laughing, fur which there might have been need had our generals in the late war taken un the idea of old Dulow, who proposed to ___ ________ form troops, in face of tte enemy, in line of battle, and order them to ad­ vance with their arms at a shoulder and salute the foe with ringing l-urslt of laughter. "Be sure,” said Bulow, “that yonr opponents, surprised and dismayed at this astonlehlng salute, would turn about and run off.” Perhaps this scheme would not work now, while the present long range ar­ tillery Is used; but, as a matte'- of fact, !t te related that the Mamelukes once turned tail from an assault upon the French in Egypt dn hearing the roar of laughter with which Napoleon’s veterans greeted the command "Form squares, assess and men of science in SJJSl receipt ofi A OMt cut from wrappers of Axbuckiee* Razor made by J.

One of the most potent factors re­ sponsible for this condition has been the false or under valuation placed upon real as well as personal,property. For instance, a manufacturing plant worth between $40,000 and $50,000 is assessed at’ a valuation of $1,500, for no other apparent reason than that : the assessor wants to help along his ' own particular locality as against tbe ’ other townships of the county. Ani other factor has been what tbe natives ! call laud robbers, and they complain । that these large land companies have 1 done more to Injure the prosperity ot ( this section than'anything else. i Large tracts of land rich with tlmbers have paid little or no taxes for years, the result of which has been | that assesstlug officers have kept the i valuation of all classes of property below nil reason. This has had the effect of increasing the rate of tax fully five times what it should be nor1 mally. In St. Ignace the rate for city, ( state and county taxes Is 10 per cent, I while in Wayne county it was less i than 2 per cent last year.

"You just ought to see them; they’re the funniest things you ever saw. "Well, I should say they were,” says Fritz.

Big Tom Thomas, recently dratted by tbe Cincinnati team, occupied tbe slab for the visitors and served such a variety of lightning twisters that the locals either fanned the air or knocked the ball directly into a fielder’s hands. Miller was the only Hastings man who connected safety, that being a two sacker towards tbe pump. The Hastings team would have received a shutout had it not been for Dougan's wild throw to Dillard in tbe third inning, allowing Barber and Miller to score. However, the visitors were compelled to keep in tbe game every mbment, and tbe score would have been very dote had it not been for tbe one error, which allowed three men to score in tbe seventh inning. Barber and Ketcham made a neat double play In tbe tbtni inning, preventing tbe leaguers from seorlng. After striking Popkay out Miller gave Katoll a ticket to first Thomas batted a swift grounder straight at Barber who threw the runner out at first and fielded the ball tn time to put Katoll out at second. Neither side scored until the third when Baker opened Hastings' half by flying out to first. Miller landed on tbe leather for a two bagger to left. Barber drew four wide ones and stole second. At this point of tbe game Eddy approached tbe umpire and began issuing Instructions. Miller saw his opportunity and made for third.

Baker made a beautiful catch of Dungan’s fly, Eddy scoring before the ball could be fielded. Dillard sent a grass-cutter for two bases past short stop, and scored on Buelow’s two bagger. Gaston closed tbe Inning on a high Infield bit to Barber. Detroit broke the tie In the fifth. Eddy went to first on four balls and went to third on Clymer’s single to center. Her­ bert made a good running catch of Dun­ gan’s font Dillard raised the sphere in­ to tbe clouds, which Wcoten got, Eddy scoring on tbe out. Buelow died at first. Eddy opened Detroit's half In the seventh by bunting to third. Clymer, who bad been the object af a great deal of joshing by the rooters, duplicated the act. Sam Dungan dumped tbe ball to­ wards Damotb, who threw tbe ball high over Ketcham’ ahead, allowing tbe three men to score. Dillard reached first on Goodycar’s fumble and stole second but was left, as Buelow and Gaston went out In succession, and Miller put a quietus on the run getting by striking out Popkay. Not a Hastings man reach­ ed first base in tbe eighth. The spectators were treated to an ex­ hibition of fireworks In tbe visitor’s half. Big Jack Katoll, the BL Paul twirler, sent tbe ball to right tor three bases. Miller extinguished Thomas’ liner. Eddy fanned, Clymer went to first on Baker's muff, which allowed Katoll to score, took third on a passed ball. Dungan walk­ ed, Dillard sent him to second, and scored Clymer, with a single.

Not satisfied with tbe results of former base ball contests tbe Knights of Pythias of Kalamazoo came to this city Thursday afternoon on a special train for the pur­ pose of retrieving some of their lost hon­ ors. They did not forget to bring along a first class team, all of whom were exper­ ienced on the ba«a ball diamond, and a good sized delegation of “rooters’’ armed with tin horny to urge their friends on to victory. - It was very noticeable however thai the tin born delegation did not make much use of their instruments after ..the third Inning, and by the time tbe game ended there was not a horn to be beard. A special carrying about 40 Kalamazoo K. P’s. arrived in the city shortly after one o’clock. They were met at the depot by a delegation from Barry lodge, and escorted to tbe Armory where they were entertain­ ed until tbe time for hoetilltiee to begin. Tbe game was called about 3:80 with Kalamazoo at tbe bat A bit and a wild throw allowed one Ceieryite to cross the plate. The Kazoos scored no more until tbe fourth inning when ah error, a stolen base and two outs scored another. In the fifth one more ran was made on a pretty home run drive by Hale, the Kalamazoo twirler,' In the seventh one more run was made on two bite and an error. In the eighth the K«lamazoos made their fifth and last run on an error and two outs. * For Hastings McKevitt was hit by a I ball in tbe first Inning, stole second and camq home on Herberts scorching single to center* In the third five more runs came In on Damotbs three bagger, a base on balls, and singles by McDonald, Mo­ Ke vitt and Baker. In the fourth two more runs were netted on a base on balls to- Wooton, Damoth’s slagle, Herbert’s double and a passed ball. With three men on bases In tbe fifth Damotb came to bat and tried to put the ball out of the kK by knocking it out of the east end of tjie fair ground. By tbe time that It was fielded back he bad made tbe circuit of tbe bases as well as the other three ahead of him. No more runs were made until the eighth Inning when McKevitt made a pretty home run.

The government bae been endeavoring to prevent the news from reaching the ports, but it was un­ derstood at La Quayra that President Andrade would change the composi­ tion of his cabinet and proceed to take command of the government troops, which had sustained two severe de­ feats, losing quantities of munitions of war, camp equipments and prison­ ers, suggesting the desertion of the government troops and collusion upon the part of the government generals with the insurgent forces. The populace of Caracas and La Guayra is apathetic, but the whole in­ terior Is reported to be rising behind the banner of the revolution.

MOB AFTER HIM Battle Creek, Mich., Sept. 19.—A telephone message was received at police headquarters Saturday uight from Bedford village slating that offi­ cers were wanted at that place be­ cause of fears of the mobbing of a medicine vendor by the name of W. A. Densmore by the enraged people. Under Sheriff Hamilton and Deputy Sheriff Elliott drove over there in great haste and found that the neigh­ boring farmers had surrounded the hotel and were after the medicine man, a^ they alleged, for swindling them. Tbe officers ascertained, how­ ever, that friends had helped the man out of a back window and secured for Mm a carriage and that he had driven to Battle Creek. The man appeared upon the streets of the village aud of­ fered for sale a blood medicine and a headache medicine. The first men who stepped up and paid a quarter for their bottle of medicine had tbe money refunded to them, although the man did not agree to do so. Others supIK>6ing that they were to have their money back also and be one bottle of medicine ahead pressed forward and bought of the healing medicine. Their money not being returned, the crowd began a demonstration, when the man drew a revolver and liastened to the hotel with his stuff. The crowd fol­ lowed and began a noisy demonstra­ tion in front of the house while he made his exit from the rear. The medicine upon being analyzed by a chemist in this city was found to con­ tain clover tops, grass aud oats, while the headache medicine consisted of mustard oil and gasoline. A cliarge of of getting money under trtlse pretenses will be made against him, the man being found at a hotel in tills city Monday, was arrested. Densmore is from Lansing and is wanted at Grand Rapids for burglary. ---- Minute, ot meeting ef Sept. Ut reed I I I ’ I ' 1 1 which contains the greatest copper Sropeijdes in tbe world.

In tbe first place the commissioners are not at all famil­ iar with tbe values of such properties and the conditions surrounding them. Even before reaching tbe copper country the commissioners learned that the supervisors had anticipated their comipg by holding a meeting In order to obtain a legal opinion as to whether they would be obliged to anSver such questions as the coinmlsoners might think fit to' ask and whether they, as supervisors, would be obliged to enforce the provisions of the aot under which the tax commis­ sioners are working. Tbe two lawyers who were consulted agreed that the supervisors would have to toe the mark, so to speak, which information was not at all welcome and the result was that the supervisors tacitly de­ cided to let the tax commissioners shift for themselves. The significance of the action of the supervisors is apparent when the foci Is known that they are also tbe men who are Interested in all the big mines in‘this vicinity. Supt John Duncan, of the Calumet & Hecla, has been chairman of the' board of supervisors for years, aud tbe mine representative has had and now has control of the board. In all min­ ing localities there seems to be'a gen­ eral understanding that the mluM shall pay from seven-tenths to nine* tenths of tbe taxes, and with this factor in and it only remains for the supervlsors to keep down the assessed valuation as low as possible in order that they may be in a position to pro­ test in rase the equalized valuation of tbe mines is raised too much by the board of review. Tbe mining corpora­ tions care nothing for the rate of tax­ ation. as they have to practically pay everything, and as mining settlements are not costly to run they are only concerned with the amount bf the state tax. It puzzled the commissioners for several days to find out how the dlffereut mining companies fixed the valnation of the different mines so that each would i»ay Ito proportionate share, but they finally found out. In Houghtoa county, where there are copper mines only, tbe supervisors keep a record of the stock quotations every ddy and at the annual meeting these are added up and an average for each mine taken. For practical purposes this gives the va*Ue of all tbe different mines as compared to each othur and it Is upon this basis that the assessed valuation is made. For instance tbe Calumet L Hecla is quoted at $790 a share, which is an average quotation, which would make the mine worth $79,000,000, but as a matter of fact tbe mine last year was assessed at $18,837,000. The supervisors claim that a certain amount is deducted for fluc­ tuation. but they also admit that they do not assess on a full valuation. Some of tbe representatives of mines which are making money have a penchant for pointing out mines that have failed, thinking to distract attention from their mint and then they talk about the enormous expenses.

No matter how black the night or how stormy the river, tbs vessels thst are going constantly to and from the port get tbelr mall with regularity and precision. Hundreds of letters and packages are delivered to ships every twenty-four hours, and all is dcr.c without slacking the speed of Lho vessel. This extension of the free delivery system Is the work of Postmaster Dkkerson of Detroit, cne of the bright­ est seen in the business. He noted how tbe free delivery system waj be­ ing extended to the rural districts. By this means the farmer la enabled tn get lils mall from a carrier twice a day without the trouble of riding five or ten mllea to the nearest post office. This saving of time and money Im­ pressed Postmaster Dickerson, and tbe Idea was suggested to him to apply the same system to the vessels which pass tn and out of the Detroit river.

There Is mall for all of these, and many times It Is of the first Importance that this mall be received as soon as possible. The de­ lay of a letter for a day or even an hour after means loss of prospective ^profits by the vessel owners and conse­ quently it is of the first importance that they get their mail at the earliest possible moment. City, town and epunty received their mail promptly on time, and Mr. Dickerson deter­ mined that the shipping interests should be equally well served.

Darkness added more danger to the task; but week after week the service grew and became a success. It is pro­ posed now to ask Congress for an ap­ propriation to build a swift and strong vessel for boarding purposes: one that will be fast enough to catch any ves­ sel that passes through the river, and the shock of contact when the mail­ boat is made fast to the other vessel. The code of signals used by the let­ ter carriers and the ships Is perfect. In tbe daytime a series of wigwag sig­ nals with a flag brings to each the de­ sired information, while at night a series of flashes and lantern swings takes the place of speech. An abbre­ viated code is used so that the signals occupy the briefest space of time, and then action follows at once. The service Is continuous, of twentyfour hour? a day. during the entire season of navigation, no matter what the weather may be. During the bus­ iest months of the season these large vessels sometimes pass at the rate of one a minute, and it is almost impos­ sible to believe thst none of them is ever missed. Upon one occasion last year fifty-fcven boftts passed during the apace of an hour, three hundred and thirty-six pieces of mall ware de­ livered and ninety-eight pieces col­ lected during that time wltb reuela both waya.

We can get along without -men of enormous wealth, but not without men of brains.” Dr. Hillis says: "Men talk about making millions In business. They ought to make millions to repay them for not being clergymen. 1 had rather go to the rudeat country church to speak to men crude and rough and ig­ norant, and keep that little band point­ ed toward God’s shining city, than to do anything else in the universe or sit upon any throne.” CONDENSED SMILES.

The Boers are massing artillery. *°d the British are showing unusual activity in tnaking war preparations. Tbe witbdcawal of Gen. Alger from tbe senatorial fight Is early expected by ad annoaooement from blm to that effect. While Gen. Alger has hosts of friends in Michigan who would like to see him honored, yet being loaded down wltb Pingree’s support success was Impossible. Latkr—The Gen. has formally with­ drawn urging personal and business mat­ ter as tbe reason. So Pingree Is going out of politics. As we understand it be hasn’t been in polities very much of late. Pingree has made tbe most of a demogogue’s course, but like all who follow such a course, the end ta In sight. During bls political career he has accomplished absolutely nothing, and the money of tbe state has been spent In a most reckless and foolish manner. Trusting tbe leadership of any party to a men of tbe Pingree stamp is not only foolish and unsafe, but mighty expensive. For tbe past three years the republi­ can party has been in control of national affairs, and every pledge made has been faithfully carried out During those years business has never been as good, surpassing even the phenomenal years ander President Harrison, and labor has been actively employed at good and In­ creasing wages. Wbo would want to return to tbe times under Cleveland and the Wilson bill? Can any man regret tbe great change, or fall to note the splendid Improvement? .And all of this has, been broagbt about without any change In our monetary standard, con­ trary to tbe doleful forebodings of our free sliver friends three years ago. Add­ ed to this, there never was a time In this country, nor In tbe history of any country, when there was as much gold in tbe treasury as there Is in Uncle Barn’s strong box right now. f bls great change can be due to no other causes than wise economic policies, carried out wltb tbe extraordinary administrative ability ef President McKinley, whose statesman­ ship will rank with that of any man that ever graced the President chair. Tbe Bannkr has several times called attention to a paper published in Manila called -Freedom," one of tbe editors of which is a former Hastings boy Mr, C. H. Faller. It is doubtless true that be knows as much about tbe Philippine situation as «aay writer in this country, wbo is removed *tiOG. aad we print an editorial that reoently -appeared in Freedom.

X? Sickly moth­ ers cannot bear healthy children. The prospective mother should use every precaution to preserve and foster her health. Not alone for the sake of the little one to come but for her own sake. A perfectly healthy woman is in no danger and in very little pain at her time of trial. Thefe must be due preparation for this time. Nature makes the prepara­ tory period three-fourtlis of a year and women who take the hint from nature and Use the time properly need have no fears of the outcome. Dr. Pierce’s Fa­ vorite Prescription is a medicine designed to cure all distinctly feminine ailments and taken during the period of gestation it renders childbirth easy, safe and com-, paratively painless. It is the invention of Dr._R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., a regularly graduated physician and skilled specialist in the cure of all diseases of woman. Mrs. Orrin Stiles, of Downing, Dunn Co.. WU., writes: “I cannot praise your 'Favorite Pre­ scription ’ enough, for I have not been as well for five years as I now am. In July last I had a taby boy. weight n lbs. I was only sick a short time, and since I got up have ncA had one sick day.” Sick women can consult Dr. Pienje oy letter free of charge. Every letter is-held strictly private and sacredly confidential. Designing men work on women’s feelings, by advising women to "write to a woman who understands woman’s needs. ” It is useless to seek advice aboat disease of any woman who is not ajpnysician. So far as known no__ ified Z.2 woman physician is connected with any proprietary medicine establishment. Summering Plga. Let pigs run with the dam until twelve weeks old, provided she Is fed liberaMyK with a warm, well balanced ration of shorts, oats, corn meal and screenings, says Farm, Stock and Home. This last mentioned food for hogs, of which the Northwest has an immense bulk, is lost to the farmers and being utilised by sheep feeders at the Twin Cities and other central points. To the above list of foods add a ration of oil meal, bran, and even corn on the cob. Let the little pigs also have access to whole oats. Care should be used so as not to overfeed the sow. Once off her feed she. will fail to produce milk, and it is difficult to restore good digestion and milk pro­ duction. The clover field must go hand in hand with this good feeding, but on stormy days they are much better cared for in their pens with an abun­ dance of freshly cut clover. By July there should be a field of peas, where the pigs will grow and do well. The field of peas is next in value to the clover field. If not convenient to pas­ ture the peas, then cut and feed to tbe young pigs. To this method of feed­ ing upon clover and peas, add regular feeding hours for concentrated feed. This is of vast importance. Pigs should not be allowed to stray all over the farm. When confined at night In ' well-regulated stables and in well-lit­ tered yards, there is made a large re­ turn for food consumed. The pigs should be promptly returned in the morning to the pasture after feeding. By this method little if any manure is lost, and a steady increase In the fer­ tility of the soil‘Will be the result By such methods of feeding during the summer and finishing or ripening the animal on a mixed food of squash, shorts, oats, peas, meal and corn, the previous feeding of bulky clover and FalU Raui».‘ peas will have distended their stom­ achs and put them in ! le form to EfilEa&ilsr ripen rapidly into the desl ible hog. |a.m.rp.m.|a.m. a.^ .1 7JJ2| 6.25112.40 2.25 Sncceu Depend*.on Management. qmI * Lx When the market quality is consid­ la.m.|p.m.lp.m. p • |4_3O | l.tHVaO 1.23 ered we find many desire size, says D.

Italy Exporting Butter and Cheese.— According to the Italian trade returns It appears that the quantity of Italian butter exported to Great Britain in 1897 was about 31,500 cwts. and of cheese 42,900 cwts. These commodities are for the most part exported overland through other countries, chiefly through Belgium, and consequently the annual statements of trade of the United Kingdom for 1897 show only 1,349 cwts. of butter and 1,892 cwts. of cheese as having been imported into that country from Italy. The total ex­ ports of fresh and salt butter from Italy in 1897 were 93,600 cwts., and of cheese 173,400 cwts.

It is a common mistake to tion of • humor in the blood—of terribla Ecxema—which is more than akin-deep, and can not be reached by local apptf* Mtionx of ointment*, salve., etc., applied to the rarface. The diaeeM itaalf. the real cause। of the trouble, is in the blood, although all suffering Is produced! through the skin; the only way to reach the disease, therefore, is through the blood. Mr. Phil T. Jones, of MixersriUe. Ind., writee: I had Eczema thirty years, and after a great deal of treatment my leg was so raw and sore that it gave me constant pain. It finally broke into a running sore, and began to spread and grow worse. For the past five or six years I have suffered untold agony and had given up all hope of ever being free from the disease, as I hare been treated by some of the best physicians and have taken many blood medicines, all in vain. With little faith left I began to take 8. 8. 8., and it apparently made the Eczema worse, but I knew that this was the way the remedy got rid of the poison. Continuing 8. 8. 8., tho sore healed up entirely, the skin became dear and smooth, and I waa cured perfectly.” Eczema is an obstinate disease and can not be cured by a remedy which is only a tonic. Swift’s Specific— S. S. 8. FOR THE BLOOD —is superior to other blood remedies because it cures diseases which they oaa not reach. It goes to the bottom—to the cause of the disease—and will cure the worst case of Ecsema, no matter what other treatment has failed. It is the only blood remedy guaranteed to be free from potash, mercury or any other mineral, and never fails to cure Ecsema, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, Cancer, Tetter, Rheumatism, Open Sores, Ulcers,. Boils, ete.

In tbe press rega^toc the information sought by tbe board of tax commissioners from registers of deeds and county treasurers, and it would seem that con­ siderable misunderstanding exists re­ garding the object of the information sought and the motives actuating cer­ tain officers. Unfortunately the legislature did not provide specific methods for compen­ sating township and county officers for the time required in giving informa­ tion to the tax commission, but it did provide by a mandatory statute that such information should be given by such officers when required by the tax commission. Every register of deeds is asked to fill out a blank prepared by tbe tax commission, showing every transfer of real estate in his county by warranty deed in which tbe consideration ex­ pressed was $100 or more, covering one year ending July 1, 1898. This blank will show a description of the property and also the consideration for which It was sold. Three columns fol­ low, to be filled by the county treas­ urer. In these three columns, oppo­ site each parcel of land sold, is to be placed the amounts for which the same pieces of property were assessed for the years 1880, 1884 and 1888. It will be observed that tbe years 1880 and 1884 were years in which the cen­ sus was taken, and comparisons may be made •with existing records. The year 1898 is the last year for which the county treasurer now holds the tax rolls. x During the years selected for sales the revenue laws of the country have required that the consideration should be expressed in the deed and that a stamp covering the same should be af­ fixed. A meeting of the registers of deeds and county treasurers has been called to meet at Lansing on the 28th of September to confer with the mem­ bers of the board of tax commission­ ers.

Port Port Huron, Mich., Sept. 25.—The charges preferred against Special Cus­ toms Inspector Charles A. Bailey by John W. Gardener, ot Clyde, and re­ cently investigated here by Special Treasury Agent Burton Parker, have been dismissed by the treasury de­ partment as too trivial to warrant the officer’s removal from his federal berth.

It ia proposed to make the nm payment on this outlay in 1901 and tbe balance consisting of twp or IhrAn„kr»^l0ore Pay?ent«. to extend the two or three years follow-, so it cannot be considered a burden. «.??-eua<%TantageB of Permanent roads must be apparent to every tax-payer. It is not too much to say that the city has expendea fifty thousand (150,000,00) on its streets, and for all this vast out­ lay it vnll be questioned if it can show fifty rods of good roads, such as would be accepted as such by any one com­ petent to speak. It is believed a wise economy to slop this kind of expendi­ ture now, and that no better time than now can be selected to begin the work of making permanent good road«. Such an outfit as the Common Council are considering will cru»h at least from h“pdred(10°) to one hundred and fifty (150) tons hardhead rocks in tenhours. These can be secured in Hast,"£*nowiti» believed at two dollars '2,00) per cord, which would make the cost of one rod of road forty (40) feet wide, covered to a thickness ot from four inches on the edge to six inches in the center of readbed, about eight dol­ lars ($8,00). This would make tbe ex­ pense about two hundred dollars ($200> for a twenty four (24) rod block of street. As this city usually expends about two thousand dollars ($2,000,00) per annum on its street, this sum would therefore make two hundred and forty rods (240) of crushed stone roads a year. Every tax-payer in this city knows how much money has been expended in graveling Green street, and every tax-payer who drives over that thoroughfare knows that in a very few years tbe gravel cuts through br is washed away, and in a short time Green street is but little better than any other. There has been money enough expended on Green street in the past twenty years to buy a stone crosner and thoroughly macadamize the road. In other wwds, gravel will not make a lasting road. One advantage of the crushed stone road is that no cross walks would be necessary. There would need to be built only the approaches from the side walk to tbe macadamized part of tbe street, and this would effect a great saving in cross walks, which, as our cit­ izens must know, is already a very heavy burden of expense. Last and final’y.by securing the stone crusher and roller the city will have a practi­ cal method of making tbe best kind of road and it cannot be doubted that this city is in urgent need of it. As a matter of economy it must appeal to every good citizen that it is much bet­ ter to make even 100 yards of good road a year than lo make any number of rods of such roads as we have had made, and which in a short time be­ come almost unfit to travel over. Enclosed is a postal card addressed td tbe Chairman of the Street Com­ mittee of the Common Council. It is requested that every tax-payer ex­ press his sentiments on this postal. If you are in favor of having tbe Common Council purchase a stone crusher and other appliances named, write your name on the postal with tbe word "yes”; if opposed, write your name and the word "no” on the postal. In this way tbe Council hopes to get at the sentiments of ths tax-payers of this city. 1 Respectfully yours, Street Com­ mittee of Common Council of the city of Hastings. Mich. ~r 1 Joseph Babjtett.

Sept. 25.—The execu­ tive committee of the Civic Federation of Chicago has authorized’ its presi­ dent. Franklin H. Head, to appoint a committee of twenty-five to organize Civic Federation. This committee is to l>e composed of men representing different sections of the country and different phases of social, economic and political questions of the day. Tbe object of such an organization Is stated to be to provide for a thorough discussion and consideration of ques­ tions' of national Import affecting either the foreign or domestic policy of tbe United States; to aid tn the crystalization of the most enlightened pub­ lic sentiment In the country in respect thereto; and to promote necessary leg­ islation in accordance therewith. Tbe leaders of the Chicago federation hare contemplated this move for some time, deeming it sentlal If a national work were to become any tiling more than educational. In January, T898. the Chicago Civic Federation called a national confer­ ence on primary elections and munici­ pal reform which was held in New York and was attended by representa­ tives of over forty of the largest cities of the United States. Tbe impetus given by this conference to primary, election reform agitation resulted in both New York and Illinois securing new laws at the following sessions of their respective legislatures. But boyond this and the publication and dis­ tribution of proceedings the Chicago federation has found It impracticable to go.

I was unable to do any kind of Work and had to be turned in bed. I made up my mind that I could not be cured as I had used all kinds of medicine and had tried many doctors. I was ad­ vised to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and com­ menced their use last September. Before I had finished my first box I felt better, and by the time I had used aix boxes the disease had en­ tirely disappeared, and I have not been so free from pain since I was a boy. The paralysis also disap­ peared, and although -two months have passed since I finished my last box, there has been no recur­ rence of the disease.”—From Utt GOOD SAPOLIO MORTGAGE SALK RheumatUn Cannot Exist Default baring been made In tbe conditions When tbe kidneys are kept healthy and ot a certain mortgage made by Charlee H Rey­ vigorous by the use of Dr. A.

Au Organisation of Thirty Piero Was Effected Composed of Some of the Beet Musical Talent in the City. Nothing speaks better for a town than a good band. People are tlwiji inter­ ested In good music and will come from a long distance to listen, lu some towns smaller than Hastings “Barxi Concerts” are a regular feature every week during tbe summer, and are a means of drawlog large crowds together. We admire the independent manner in which tbe new organization fected in that the business men did not have tbeir “legs pulled” to buy lostrumeuts and uniforms. Each member will purchase his own instrument and mer­ chants will be put to no expense what­ ever, all nf the usual this spirit redound to which Is very different from procedure. We believe that of independence will greatly tbe benefit ot tbe band, be­ cause the members will take more pains to learn for the reason that they bought and paid for their instruments, and mer­ chants will feel more liberal towards it because they bave not been asked to bear any of the expense. Following Is a list of tbe members together with tbe instru­ ments played: Cornet—Dr. Gammon. Cornet-Geo Stowell. Cornet—Sterling Bogie. Cornet—Clyde Button. Cornet—Burdette Sutton. Cornet—Arthur L.

The Battle is painted upon thousands of yards of canvas, and is so true and realistic that the participants in the battle of life and death seem to be hurling themselves into the fierce carnage, . The arrangement of the interior has the effect of show­ ing the GREAT BATTLEFIELD stretching away to the far distance. The painting is historically correct, every position of the Union and Confederate forces being brought out with due regard to accuracy. The battle occurred July 1st, 2nd and 3rd 1863, but many are alive who took an active part in the contest Who has not heard of Pickets famous charge? And yet how few have drawn from history an accurate picture of the incidents surrounding the beginning and eud of the battle. Not a single detail has been omitted from the Cyclorama. In brilliant coloring and clever perspective are pictured such well known points as Cemetery Hill, Round Top Mountain. Blue Ridge, ‘the historic "Stone Fem e." Devils Den. the “Valley of Death,” the strategic positions of the 8th Ohio, the Louisiana Tigers, the Pennsylvania buck tails inaction: Gen. Hancock and his staff, positions of the different army corps in the midst of battle; Gen. Meade s headquarters; "John Burns,” the hero of Gettysburg in the fight. These and a hundred other interesting features are brought out vividly to the gaze of the beholder, and so realistic that the spectator forgets for the time that he is looking upon canvas, but seems to be carried to that field of carnage, the decisive battle of Gettysburg, in reality. A lecturer is on hand to call attention to the different positions of the armies. The “Battle of Gettysburg” should be visited by/everybody. The admission is 25 cents, just half what is usually charged.

Since his arrival Admiral Dewey bas entered a fiat denial of the statement at­ tributed to him that "tbe Pbllipinos are capable of self rovernment.” Thus are tbe yellow journals disconsolate again. Senator Vest says that the Dingley law benefits Canada, and yet oar neighbors across the line are clamoring for a repeal •f that law. It’s strange, bat the Cana­ dians don’t seem to snow what is good for them according to Senator Vest’s idea. poise. The selection of Pingree for gov­ ernor was a foolish concession to tbe dis­ cordant element. It was known that be was not a thorough bred Republican. .He and bls following might quit tbe Republi­ can camp at any time, and be w*s really made governor for fear he might other­ wise afford aid and comfort to the enemy.

Naw Tom, Sept M.—Tbe Eyenlnc Poet prime tbe MlowlM Interview with Admiral Deweyt^ "They area splendid lot,” the admiral said, speaking of his men. “The very pick, tbe finest in our navy, and that means tho best in the world. Before I got to Manila, tbe archbishop, with whom I afterwards became very intimate, said that tbe American sailors were tbe scum of the earth, a blood-thirsty lot of cut­ throats, who would destroy everythlng4n their path. ••Later on, when I did get there," said the admiral, with a knowing smile, "tbe archbishop came on board one day while I had a battalion at drill, tbe very same battalion that will parade In New York. Tee archbishop went on tbe bridge and watched them cloeely. 1 knew he was admiring them, and I said to him: 'Well, what do you think of our American sailors?’ “ 'They are splendid,’ he said. *1 bave seen the men of most navies, but never anything like these. They are magnifi­ cent. 1 cannot understand it—such splen­ did young fellows. How does it happen? "Well,” said tbe admiral, “we look for the best men; we come closer to our men; we treat them better than other countries do, and we pay them better. Luaa Waa Murdered. "Here 1 have a picture of General Luna, which was given to me by tbe arch­ bishop.” The admiral then sent an orderly for the picture of the Philippine general who was ‘‘murdered by order of Agulnaldo,” as he said. Tbe picture, waa that* of a negro iu a sort of military uniform. On tbe back was the inscription In Span­ ish, “To tbe archbishop of Manila, Fr. Bernardino Nesalano.” It was signed by Lnna. Admiral Dewey then said that Luna was tbe best man the Phllipinos bad. “It was a pity,” be said, “to assassinate as him. A crack swordsman was plaoed — sentry, and when Luna appeared he sfmply stabbed him. But these fellows al!.’’ said that tbe admiral, ••are a queer lot. They were simply servants and stablemen, and Agulnaldo was a ,junior clerk in tbe navy yard. He is a pretty smart fellow. 1 knew him very well Id fact, we were great friends and are, for the matter of fact, but he bas not the brain. There are people behind him, some of them lawyers and able fellows, wbo make a tool of Agulnaldo. Here, by tbe way, is a cane which be present­ ed to me,” and tbe admiral produced a thick black stick carved and resembling Irish bog oak more than anything else. “I thought,” said the admiral, “that this thing In tbe .Philippines would be over long before this, as It should bave been. 1 can’t Imagine bow they stood out nntll now. Of course, there was the rainy season, and I suppose little was done. “One great trouble out there has been that General Otis has tried to do too much, 1 told him so. He wants to be general, governor, judge and everything else, to have hold of all the Irons. No man can do this. This is the great trouble. It la enough for a man tn do one thing, to be one thing, but when a man tries to do everything It Is easy to Imagine the result. “Tbe fight In the Philippines should be easily ended. Tbe people had been so badly' treated for such a length of time by tbe Spaniards that they are dis­ trustful This is the great difficulty In dealing with them. Where we bave met them and they have been In such con­ tact with us to learn that we mean to treat them well; where they bave seen that we nr can what we say, there Is no trouble. They stand by us all tbe time. All of them will learn this in time. They will get from under tbe Influence of Agulnaldo. or rather those people who are behind Agulnaldo, who, as I said before, Is a mere tool. Not Capable of Self Government “Do I think tbe Flliplnoe are fit for self-government? Well, no; not just now. They probebly will be in a little time. They are a very queer people—a very queer mixture. Many of them are quite civilized and good people, but 1 do not think they are fit for self-government Just yet But when I say that, I must add that at the same time It is my candid opinion that they are more fitted for it than the Cubans—that they are better people than tbe Cubans in every way. I do wish, however, that the whole busi­ ness waa settled and I think that after a little time tbe Filipinos will take kind­ ly to us.” It was suggested to tbe admiral that tbe Democrat slate had been settled with Admiral Dewey for the presidency ano General Whaler for tbe vice-presideLdy. “Well,” said the admiral, "we should make a pretty mess of it. General Wheel­ er, of course, has bad some training In tbe political school Bnt then be is a West Pointer. I bad forgotten that. He would want to run everything as be would a regiment, and, of course, would make a splendid mesa of it.

The Olympia, with the sailor hero on the bridge, was greeted with a great fluttering of handkerchiefs aud flags as it arrived off Castle William, aud after salutes had been exchanged between the shore battery aud the war ship tbe crowd followed the vessel along the shore and remained watch­ ing it until it had disappeared up the North river. After the Olympia came the armored cruiser New York, flagship of Rear Ad­ miral Sampson with her big turrets and guns appearing like a moving fort­ ress as she followed in the wake of the admiral’s flagship. The Chicago brought up the rear of the column. Following the New York were the two first-class battleships Indiana aud Mas­ sachusetts and Texas with the cruiser Brooklyn astern. In the rear of these modern engines of war came the Lan*’ castor, the tyi>e of tbe old navy ves­ sels of the Hartford class. Then fol­ lowed the gunboat Marietta, small by comparison with the Lancaster with the auxiliary cruiser Scorpion behind. Abreast steamed the torpedo boats Porter. Dupont, Ericsson, Winslow ami Cushing and following them came the natty revenue cutters Manning. Al­ gonquin. Gresham. Windom and Onon­ daga. Next in line were the transports Sedgewick, McPherson and McClellan and after them came alone the hos­ pital ship Missouri. Last came the civic part of the pa­ rade, consisting of hundreds of craft of all descriptions, gaily, decorated for tbe occasion. The illuminations at night were of surpassing Jbrillian<*y and tbe great crowd continued In tbe vicinity of Brooklyn bridge until after midnight Pro*ramme for To-day.

A flank movement was exe­ cuted and the insurgents were driven from the trenches, the marines wading through rice fields in turning tbe flank of the enemy, who retreated to strong sand forts across the creek di­ viding the peninsula, destroying the bridge a cross the stream. Tbe marines waded through more rice fields, forded the river in water, to their shoulders and carried tbe forts, meeting with feeble resistance, tbe first encounter having disheartened the enemy. Squads were sent to Noveleta and burned the town and the huts all along the road, from which the enemy com­ menced tbe firing. There a junction was formed with the scouts, who had been sweeping the swamps and thick­ ets. Thence the marines returned to Cavite thoroughly exhausted. Lieut. Wynn, with a three-pounder, did good execution during the advance. Gen. Lawton was not in personal com­ mand of the movement. • Capt. Cowles’ battalion of the Fourth Infantry while reconnoitering found a body of several hundred insur­ gents near San Nicolas. After a brisk fight, lasting three-quarters of an hour, the enemy was driven off. lu this en­ counter the American casualties were four men slightly wounded. Six of tbe enemy were killed, but the number of wounded is not known. The bad con­ dition of the roads made the progress of the artillery slow. YACHT RACE A( R IEMENT. ••top on signal only.

Irtem and Waah-Slnk* for Bertdencea.' Good Field Open. For some time past the proprietors of the Hastings Engine & Iron Works have had to mind the enlargement of tbelr plant, and branching out into a new in-' dnstry. Owing to the fact that busineea in tbelr Hue has been curtailed by the different factories in the city putting In their own iron-working machinery; the fact that the' saw mill and threshing huk chine business has greatly decreased front what It used to be; these facts coupled with tbe further fact that tbe manufoctw& of plow points and repairs has been oom* meneed by many other concerns made it necessary to either run a large plant with, a few hands, which isn’t profitable, or la branch out in some other lines. The proprietors ot the Engine A Inna Works. Messrs. D. 8. Goodyear. EM I\>wers. P. T. Colgrove and Sylvester Grease!^ at a recent meeting decided to put In more money and enlarge the business. Tbe line of new business will be tbe manufaetnre* of warm-air registers, stove pipe eeilinit registers, and wash sinks for residences. A lot has been purchased from the EH Bechtel estate, adjoining tbe factory, and the office used by the late Mr. Bechtel*, will be moved to a foundation being built adjoining tbe machine room, and used foe. an office. The present office will be ased^ as a storage room. The old buildings will be remedied andi. Axed over and new floors will be put faa, for the register business. As the new. class of business will require a high finish^ and will be enameled, a trick enamel fans* aee will be added to tbe plant. Tbe Bear, furnace will weigh 4,000 pounds and wll^ ceatlfioe. ▲ new brass furnace will also be added' to the plant. The designs for the new­ line of goods must be made of brass and are very expensive. It is expected that the new line of goods will be on the mar­ ket by the first of January, and the foreo of employees will be Increased to 35 or 4O_ and this number will be added to according: to the demand for the goods. All goods of this kind are now beingmade by a trust, with the: exception of one small factory In Grand Rapids. We are pleased to state that the new concern will also be numbered among the Independent companies and we wish them every suecess possible. Epworth League Lecture Course.

"The Boers have cut. the railway at Belmont have seized the Spytonteln railway station snd constructed forti­ fied earthworks.

Tbe railway telegraph of­ ficials have abandoned Maribogo. Tbe nearest British communication to Ma feklng. therefore, is understood to be Zetlagolo, 00 miles away. While it is the general belief that the Boera are attacking Mafeklug, there is still no confirmation of tbe reports. If tbe Boers had met with any success it would surely have been announced, as the only telegraphic communication is. in the hands of the burghers. Boer tents have been discovered eight miles southeast of Kimberley. Great clouds of dust seeb ten miles to the eastward of Kimberley this morn­ ing seem to Indicate the movement of a large body of troops with wagons. Two Imperial officers at Bid-dajr also discovered a cvlutnn Of 4U0- Boers go­ ing in the direction of Modder river bridge from Johannesburg.

Flowerdew, the engine driver of Capt.

AUBBICfl CLP WBIL Or.rrAOED nV TUB WRITE FLYBB. ' New York. Oct. IT.-The cup which the old schooner America won so com­ mand ingly against nil comers over the course around the Isle of Wight In 1851 and brought back across the seas, will probably remain here another year. In a glorious breeze’ ovef a windward and leeward course of 30 miles* the Columbia scored against the Shamrock in the first race of the 1899 series for the trophy. She bound­ ed across the finish line fully a mile and a half ahead of the challenger, defeating her by 16 minutes and’ 14 seconds In actual time, or ten mln-’ utes and eight seconds corrected time, after allowing the six seconds handi­ cap which fhe Colbtobia must concede to the challenger on account of her, longer water line. It was a decisive contest, a magnifi­ cent ract*. inagDlficently sailed and magnificently won. Although the preponderance of expert opinion never? wavered In its loyalty to tlje wonders ful spee<l and ability of the while flyer, no nautical sharp expected iShe Sham­ rock would be so overwhelmingly van­ quished as she was in the royal strug­ gle. The, Yankee boat outgeneraled her at the start, beat her hopelessly In windward work terthe otter mark anil gained 22 seconds In the run home before the wind. The rare was a magnificent duel and made up for thie repeated disappointments tlie sight­ seers have suffered. There was some lively Jorttlfying behind the line before the start and Columbia got the better of It. She clearly outmaneuvered her rival, eventually forcing her over the line first by half a length, but leaving Columbia in the weather position. Close hauled on the starboard tack, tbe yachts plunged seaward, heeling to the 12-knot breeze. . The first few minutes of the race were liu? most in­ teresting. They made a lunwitiful pic­ ture as they raced away like hounds. Their sails to the nautical eye were perfection in fit. They looked as If they might have been enrved out of alabaster, so firm and faultless were the lines. It was soon apparent that the white flyer was forging ahead. The clear water began to show be­ tween them. The Columbia not only seemed to outfoot the challenger, but the experts saw that she pointed high­ er. It was astonishing how she sliced her way up into the wind. Within 15 minutes «h* had a lead of five lengths nnd from that tlm<- on tne race Vu hers. A quarter of a mile from the home run tbe Columbia crossed ihe poth pt the Shamrock still beating to wind­ ward. and robbed ter of tlie wind for a minute as she went past. It was nine minutes and forty-nine seconds later when the Shamrock swung round the mark and squared away for the finish. From that time it was simply a procession. There was u amri-stir* ring same as the Columbia approached the finish. The excursion boats had gathered there to a semi-circle to give her welcome, and as she swept across the finish, bedlam broke loose. The steam whistles shrieked, the sirens walled, the Corsair' the flagship of the New York Yacht Club, and several other yachto flung their powder into smoke, and the multitudes on the decks of th? side-wheelers cheered. The Corsair hauled down all her pri­ vate signals and set Old Glory at each masthead and gaff an fl taffrail. TOLEDO'S PAVING SCANDAL I.friinject yoc. >i.onoiwfsH . ere.

Relict of Soldier*. Huron. Mich., Oct. 17.—Tbe sol­ filers relief commission, of this coun­ ty. in Its report to the board of super­ visors calls attention to the etirivexhanation of the soldiers’ relief fund, due to increased demands from indi­ gent soldiers and soldiers’ widows, .rhe Increased calls upon the fund, the commission attributes to the Increas­ ing age and Infirmity of the old vet­ erans, and the greater number of deaths among the pensioners leaving widows requiring assistance. The com­ mission reports that the disbursements during tbe past year had exceeded the estimate made a year ago, and that a •balance of only $269.81 is on hand, as against above $6<>0 at tls* time of mak­ ing the last report. Th© amount of relief allowed in a great majority of cases is only $4 per week. ■ but even at this small amount the demands for aid have been so great that it will be im­ possible to continue the payments dur­ ing the next two months. Ishpeming, Mich., Oct 17.—One of the two Finlanders suspected of mur­ dering James Cashen here, was arrest­ ed by Deputy Sheriff J. 0.

Bloodstained clothing ■worn by the Finns that night was found in the boarding house. The pris­ oner was taken to Marquette county jail, as it was feared he might be taken from officers if brought here, so bitter is the feeling among Cashen’s friends. Officers are now after the other criminal, who Is hiding some­ where in the county. teamsters employed by the five local coal yards refused to go to work Mon­ day morning unless their employers raised their wages from $1.50 to $1.75, with 25 cents an hour for overtime. It happened that tlie weather, was as warm as in summer and there was no rush orders on the books, so the em­ ployers did not accede to the demands, although one company made the ad­ vance in tlie afternoon. Another an­ nounced his readiness to raise wages if tnh rest will do so. It is likely a settlement will soon be reached.

MATTER HAS BEES BROUGHT TO ATTENTION OF OFFICIALS. Promptly Reaches the Seat of all Blood Diseases and Cores the Worst Gases. A Detroit, Mich., Oct 17.—There’will probably be a sensation in the marine postoffice department to-day or as soon ns certain sworn affidavits have been made public. It Is stated on unimpeachable au­ thority that affidavits have been made which will make some of the members of the department face some questions which they may or may not be-uole to answer. Capt. Nelson Hlllger, who has fnr. some time been master of tlie govefnrfieut mail boat Florence B., has re­ signed hik position. His resignation promises incidental­ ly to bring ulKHit an investigation of the doings aboard Um*' Florence B. The matter was brought to tbe attlon of Postmaster Dickerson yester­ day afternoon and he* requested Capt. Hlllger to present his charges in writ­ ing. It is understood that Hlllger present­ ed the matter in writing last evening and that the postmaster has the mat­ ter under ronshteratlon. Assistant Postmaster May worm stat­ ed at midnight that the attention of the department has been called to the mat­ ter and that the department had. in­ formed Capt. Hlllger that th© matter must be submitted in writing. Capt. Hlllger appeared before Notary Henry K. Oakes and swore to a lengthy typewritten affidavit, making charges against the carriers of the ma­ rine postal service and against tlie gen­ eral department. A marine man of good repute who read the document through states that it Is very spicy. Aluong other things, it is said, the carriers are charged with selling newspapers, earning passen­ gers and bundles. II ni ■ demons crate® its superiority over other bkiod remedies.

Mrs.T. W. Lee, Montgomery, Ala., writes: ‘‘Some years ago I was inoculated with poison by a nurse who infected my babe with blood taint. I was covered with sores and ulcers from head to foot, and in my great extremity I prayed to die. Several prominent physicians treated me, nut all to no purpose The mercury and potash which they gave me seemed to add fuel to the awful flame which was devouring me. I was advised by friends who had seen wonderful cures made by it, to try Swift’s Specific. I im­ proved from tbe start, as the medicine seemed to go direct to the cause of the trouble and force the poison out. Twenty bottles cured me completely.” Swift's Specific— S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD —is the only remedy that is guaranteed purely vegetable, and contains no mercury, potash, arsenic, or any other mineral or chemical.

NURSE IN COUNT’S FAMILY HIRED TO POISON CHILDREN. Who Actuated tlie murder of the Little One* la Not Kaown-Tbe 11 nngenmm Public Thoroughly Arrutiood—A Wicked Revenge Wrought. A great senbation has been caused in Hungary by the discovery which has just been made that the two children of tbe rich and widely known Count HadlkJ-Barkoczy, who died last year, were murdered with poison. At the time of their death last October no su­ spicion of any kind was felt by th© parents or the physicians, and it was believed that the little ones had died from eating poisonous mushrooms. But after a few months the Chief of Police of Budapest heard stories about Laura Heins, a handsome young wo­ man who had been nurse for the Count's family, and investigation led to her arrest. It was then that the first sensation was caused, for after a rigid investigation that lasted twen­ ty hours the girl became involved, so much In contradiction that the author­ ities felt justified in announcing that ohe had murdered the children by giv­ ing' them poisoned sweetmeats. Now the second sensation has been created by the charges of tbe policethat some rich person had hired the girl to do the deed for an unknown reason. Count Hadik-Barkoczy has' not made public the names of any ene­ mies who could be suspected of so das­ tardly a piece of revenge^ but the po­ lice have made the postive dclaratlon that the murder was inspired by a per. son or persons who had plenty ofi money.land it is understood generally that they know to whom suspicion points and what reasons impelled the commission of the cruel crime. The Chief of Police has admitted that he has evidence that the nurse has been receiving large sums of money and that he knows the locality from which lb comes. The nurse, to add to the mystery, has made a confession which, accord­ ing to the police, is more compliment­ ary to her talent for romance than to her reputation for truth telling. She has admitted what is true, that she had served a term of two years for killing her own child. Of course, when tbe Count engaged her nothing was known of this episode in her. life. She says that the reason she gave poison to the Count’s children was that she wanted to make them ill. as she knew that in case of illness in the Count’s family It was customary to go to Bud­ apest to be near the best medical help, and she wished to visit that city, hav­ ing tired of living in the country. Therefore she cooked some plums in a copper vessel until she found, by tast­ ing them .that they were in condition to cause violent Illness. Then she gave the preserves to the children, not ex­ pecting that they would die. Trains will be run at the eouvenieno pan?, who reserve the right to change DETROIT, GRAND RAPIDS AND WESTERN.

The more wives a man has the higher his social importance. The number which a man In private life may have is limited by his ability to purchase and support them: but the number which a king may have Is limited by law—limited to the modest number of three thous­ and and thirty-three, and it is said that he usually does not exceed that limit. At any rate, he must have more wives than any of his subjects, or his respectability will suffer. The present king has actually tbe allotted number, and he has six hundred children. All the king must do to get a wife is to choose any female he pleases, no mat­ ter how young she may be. Girls are often chosen when less than ten years old, and in such ease* they are left with their mothers until of a mature age, at which time they are taken to join the rest of the three thousand three hundred and thirty-three. No man is ever allowed to see any of the king’s wives, and should he even accidentally see one his punishnHD't is death. These wives during the workJflfc season attend to the king's plantations, but the rest of the time they live at Commassie, the Ashantee capital, where they” occupy two longj LUU1X CUEEEE and you will never usr Accept no substitute I Insist on LION COFFEE, in 1 lb. pkgs.

Frequently a good crop of millet can be raided under con­ ditions which would not admit of growing corn for Ensiling, and in such instances it becomes of especial value. One of the b$st methods of preserving this crop is by the use of the silo. Those who have tried this method have obtained excellent results. A fine quality of ensilage may be made by using barnyard millet and a legum­ inous crop like soy beans or clover. The seed of the foxtail millets Is wide­ ly used as food for fowls and birds but is seldom fed to stock. It has, however, been used in feeding young stock, such as calves, with a fair degree of success. The seed is an cellent food for laying hens. Economical Feeding.—An economi­ cal food is early-cut hay, silage from mature corn, oats and peas. An un­ economical way is to give the herd late cut hay, silage from immature corn, roots, new and untried crops. The reason for the early cutting of hay is because you get more digestible pro­ tein or milk forming food than In a late cut Mature corn only should go into the *allo; otherwise it causes an expensive watering of stock. Corn has proven to be more digestible when it is cut just as the kernel begins, to glase. Experiments have proven that the silage of everything is the most economical way of handling the grain crop, owing to the amount of milk given and the amount of butter pro­ duced being more on the food from the silo than in other ways of harvesting 1L—Frot J.

The speak­ er dwelt upon the Physical. Social and Spiritual features o’ the Island. Rev, Brown aiked bis audience to imagine a little island about 90 miles long and '• miles wide .about tbe size of the state of Conheeticer ■.

The moun­ tain tops are covered with forests.of ebony and many other vajliable woods of com­ merce. The land Is practically undevel­ oped ‘ Of\be one million population, 550,000 are of pure Spanish descenL 400,000 are mixed, and 50,000 are negroes. As the latter are clustered in the cities tbe cunal visitor'is Impressed with tbe idea that the population of Porto Rico Is colored, but this idea is absolutely wrong, as tbe above classification of the people will show. Social distinctions are drawn as finely in Porto Rico as in this country, the wealthy class comprising about 10 per cent of the population. This class h not unlike the old Spanish aristocracy, ’ery hospitable and its members well tdueated, being educated mostly in the roUegei and universities of Europe. Tbe great middle class, the class upon which ihe future development of tbe Islands depends. Is as a class very hospitable, kind and generous. For tbe unfortunate and tbwe in trouble, the people have great symP«tty. amt they will even “divide the ■ast dollar" with those in trouble.

Cook on “Some Suggestions for tbe Literary De­ partment’’ Dr.' Graham, the presiding; elder of tbe district, added much to the> morning’s enjoyment and profit by his. timely remarks and words of wisdom. The Social Department came in for first consideration In the afternoon session. Tbe League Social was considered from, two standpoints, “As It la” and “As It Ought To Be,” the paper being written bp Miss Irene Baker, of Iron Mountain, pres­ ident of this department. Young people need entertainment, and tbe queetkna naturally arises; “Who shall furtffeb it— the church or the world?” We say tbe church—then what shall it be. The writer then went on to depict how many socials are conducted without system, and bow far they fall from assisting tbe fourth department in accomplishing its mission. She suggested what might form material for a delightful social evening once a month during the year simply by taking what the various months offered. Dele­ gatee from the various chapters present told what had been the most successful feature of this department in their league during the past year. Much Interest was manifest In tbe next department, tbe Juplor League, Mrs. C. &. Wheeler, superintendent of this work in tbe district filling this position In a manner that would be bard to excel.

Women who are nervous and snappish are to be pitied. Their homes are uncomfortable; their dis­ positions grow constantly worse. Such women need the coun­ sel and treatment of a woman who understands the peculiar troubles of her sex. Mrs. Anna E. Hall, of Mill­ dale, Conn., was all run down in health and had completely lost ' control of her nerves. She wrote to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn. Mass., for advice. Now she writes: “I wish to thank you for what your Vegetable Compound has done for me. It has helped me more than anything else. I suffered for a long time with ner­ vousness, pains in back and limbs and falling of the womb* Also had neuralgia in my head and could not sleep.

Two days later the board of health of the town­ ship fenced in seven roads and no one was allowed to pass lu or out under penalty of prosecution. It is now stated that there have been forty-two cases In tbe quarantined dis­ trict. Rumors are also that three children have died and were buried In the night. This. Is disputwl by others who claim there has been but one ser­ ious case. '* The peat has spread Into adjoining township of Chesaning, where It is said there are eight cases. The dis­ trict Infected Is quarantined for a dis­ tance of six miles one way and two another, yet people who live in the neighborhood of the quarantined dis­ trict visit surrounding villages. On Friday u woman said to have been exl>osed visited Chesaning and traded at different stores. It is said also that l>oople who have been exposed have visited New Lothrop and Oakley with­ in a week. It would seem that so»e stronger (tower than township boards of health should take charge of the matter and if possible prevent the fur­ ther spread of the (test.

Hence, so many fall to obtain relief, be­ cause they are treating, not the disease itself, but a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact, women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and bladder trouble and both need the same remedy.

Limited DORCHESTER, MASS. Hastings Banner. Wool la 33 Per Cent Higher Tlum In Free Trade Tariff Time*. Thun day, Nov. 2, 1899. The Omaha “World-Herald” bas sud­ denly dropped tbe woee of tbe Sultan of Sulu and the establishment ot slavery In his dominion as tbe newest Issue and fallen back on tbe Tariff en wooL It says that tbe wicked republicans imposed a Tariff on wool and in consequence of this outrageous measure wool bas dropped from 15 to 12 cents a pound in a year. The woes of the Nebraska farmer who used to get 15 cents a pound for unwashed wool last year and has to take 12 are set forth with an eloquence and pathos that melts tbe reader to tears. However, 12 cents a pound is better than 9, which was tbe price in 1895 under tbe Wilson-Bryan-Gorman Tariff of '94. Nine cents a pound was tbe average price of wool In tbe United States for the year 1895, the first full year of the Democratic Tariff. And a fluctuation between 12 and 15 cents tbat followed Che passage of the Dingley act Is a vast Improvement. Let tbe “World-Herald” consider the matter from that standpoint and restrain Its tears. The fact that the farmers of Nebraska and other Western States all want lumber now, under McKinley prosperity, and want it quick, bas certainly raised tbe price of lumber aud they are buying it just as fast as it can possibly be got from tbe lumber camps and landed ar tbe sta­ tions. But few of ’em were able to buy a thousand feet of lumber under Democratic conditions for four long years, though tbe price has dropped to oorreepend with wheat and pig sliver and other drugs in the Democratic market. Don’t weep about wool so long as it is 38 per cent higher even during this temporary fall, than It was In tbe palmy days of cheap things and the Wilson-Bryan-Gorman Tar­ iff.—Lincoln (Neb.)

Free trade England has 186 Trusts, one Wf them capitalized at *56.000,000, and yet democracy insists tbat “protection Is tbe toother of Trusts.*♦ More than 40 per cent of the Iron proxittet of tbd world Is made in tbe United States. Sorely no one can deny tbat this torantry is coming to tbe front fast. American free traders continue to Insist that tbe laboring men are in no way beneHtted by protection, but with tbe increase of wages that Is being reported In many iwte of tbe country it is plainly evident that the facts are against them. Twenty-five American engineers have left for-Burrnah to erect an aqueduct 2.300 Tree long and 320 feet high. Four or five ^ean ago this would have attracted a great detl of attention, but it doesn’t now. X*eople are to busy filling orders. bondTrusts, millionaires, bloated holders, and plutocrats are all right for democrats to denounce in their platforms, tmt when a candidate for office is wanted •It is observed tbat tbe democrats invariably nominate a “pintoerat” for tbe place. Sewell and McLean are notable examples nut of tbe many that might be selected. 'Senator Tharsten, of Nebraska, called to> the president recently. When ques­ tioned as to political conditions of the west, ire said*. “Silver is as dead as last gear’s flowers. The democrats may put that issue on their platforms but they Will not discuss it tn their campaigns. On tbe question of foreign policy our r people are all in favor of putting down tbe present insurrection and restoring wrder, and then deciding what is best to vie with tbe islands. Some favor annexa­ tion, others think * protectorate would be ’enough, but very few can be found who think the United States should retire al­ together. Tbe returning soldiers with Whom I talked, while not desiring to go back te tbe Philippines themselves, are waited In wishing to see tbe rebellion ■crushed?’ Admiral Dewey has been relieved from wea duty, smd for tbe present at least will aervtf In -an advisory capacity concerning 'PMttppine affairs. Naturally, bis presi­ dential availaWHty Is urged In many xanartera. but, speaking from a parely per­ sonal pointofwiew, it would be a regret'•Me thing if tbe Admiral should yield to nay each pressure. He stands already far higher In public estimation throughout tbe nation than be ever could should be ■deoeed to tbe strife and animosities of a •partisan contest and become a candidate. ’To-day be stands without an enemy, prac"ticatiy without s crjtic, the hero of tbe whole nation, tbe typical American. This 'Is far better and will assure him a stronger *«od safer place in history than to be tbe ^successful leader In any political campaign or identified with anytbing less than the -mtional character.—Gunton's Magazine. ^Boucle We are In receipt of an 80 page pamph­ let entitled “Letters from Michigan Sol­ diers in the Spanish-American war, giving tbelr opinions of tbe manner In which Michigan troops were cared for at Camp Eaton, equipped and sent to tbe front.” The letters are from officers, who are not supposed to have been improperly cared for. Tbe book Is printed doabtlees at state expense, and Is a most arrant waste of money, and a foolish piece of business. What tbe people want to know about, and what they are entitled to knew about, is where and how tbat half million of dol­ lars was spent. Any 80 page book, or any 8.000 page book of letters from officers cannot take tbe place of tbe minute Inves­ tigation of expenditures that tbe people would like to see made, but which for some reason or other, bas not been done. Mr. Frederick W. Holls, who did so much at Tbe Hague to give credit and effect to tbe wort of tbe American dele­ gation at the peace conference last sum­ B«mL New York, OoL 83.—In a copyrighted Interview published in tbe New York Journal, Admiral Dewey says in part: •T am not a candidate for president I never will be. It is an honor no man can too deeply appreciate,” he continued thoughtfully, “to be considered as a worthy candidate for this great office, but a naval officer sbould be content with tbe honors that come to him in tbe exercise of his professional duties, ••Politics should be less a matter of party than principle. I’ll confess to desire to see the best man win, always. 1' r An officer in the nayy, however, should avoid politics. I don’t mean by that be should not have opinions. God forbid! He must be satisfied when tbe age limit is reached to be placed on tbe shelf with credit. . ‘•The real reward lies In tbe knowledge of duty performed successfully. If tbe man who is receiving the applause will only stop to think be will see for himself that in tbelr hearts the people are net applauding him, but only results. “What policy would you pursue with Agulnaldo aud his followers?” •One straight from tbe shoulder snd with plenty of force behind it. It is always bad policy to try to avoid neces­ sary responsibilities. In the case of the Philippines there Is mercy In force and untold misery in procrastination.” “What, exactly, were the circumstances which led to your famous order, “You may fire when ready, Gridley?” Tbe admiral smiled broadly and ans­ wered: “I am sorry to spoil a good story, but I never said anytbing of the kind. The truth Is tbat Gridley was In another part of the ship and I did not have tb$ chance to say It to him. There was no particular command given. Tbe signal Was set tbat we were going into action, and no other orders were given than would ordinarily occur at such a time.” Free-Trade In Coal. When tbe Wilson Tariff bill was pul through Congress, It will be remembered tbat William C. Whitney and a number of other prominent Democrats were de­ sirous of securing a free coal schedule. Subsequently it was discovered that these gentlemen were Interested very largely In Canadian coal lands, and tbat free coal meant large dividends on tbelr property at tbe expense of American mines aud miners. When tbe Dingley bill was passed the Democrats moved heaven and earth to prevent tbe reimposition of a duty on coal, but they failed, and a duty of 67 cents a ton was adopted. This duty was Imposed only on bituminous and cannel coal and left anthracite free, but as anthracite is not mined in Canada,-the effect ot the Tariff was to keep out the foreign product and create a larger de­ mand for the American, and especially the Pennsylvanian, produet. Had bituminous and cannel coal re­ mained free, Canada would have supplied tbe whole New England coast, while re­ cant shipments from this port show tbat the Tariff has acted exactly as lu con­ trivers desired, and tbat almost tbe whole of the trade has remained with as. On last Monday we shipped one of tbe largest, if not the very largest, single consignments of coal tbat has ever gone from this port. Thirty thousand tons In barges, schooners and colliers were sent to New England ports which the Democ­ racy had planned to turn over to the Canadians. This coal was all mined right In this State, and tbe money paid for Its production has kept many a family In the coal regions. This Is a direct result of the DIogley bllL—Philadelphia -Enquirer.” mer, contributes to tbe American Review of Reviews for November a carefully prepared paper on “Tbe Results of tbe Peace Conference In Tbelr Relation to Proeperlty keep* op lu nit In Ibis tbs Monroe Doctrinp.” Mr. Holls clearly conntrr, and like tbe great recto, yaebta shows that tbe declaration of tbe Ameri­ fulfill* tbe expectations of lu bonder, tbe can commissioners on July 25 was the republican party.

EXHAUSTED SERVES Are Reslotcu Re Itallzed, and the Body Hied with New Life and Vigor, by Using Dr. A. W. CHASE’S SERVE ARD BLOOD PILLS. If nervous exhaustion were better unralood, tbe numbers of insane and epileptic persons would be greatly re­ duced, and there would be less paralysis and nervous prostration. R s’ness aud professional men would not be overcome by brain fag, nervous dyspepsia and headache; teachers and Mncents would not be exhausted by their work, aud women would not be pale, weak and nervous, and suffer the I miseries caused by derangements of their peruliarly feminine organism. To get at tbe cause of these troubles you must nourish and restore the wasted nerve cells. Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve and BlooJ Pills are tbe greatest restora­ tives kuowu to modern science. They are not purgative, nor have they the weakening effect of a purgative, but re­ store by building up tbe system. Dt. A. W? Chase’vNerve and Blood Pills are prepared from the favorite pre­ scription of Dr. A. W. Chase, the fam­ ous author of Dr. Chase’s Recipe Book, and have proven the greatest cure of the age for d’seases arising from thin, watery blood aud exhausted nerve*. A few weeks* regular :reatuient with ^lis popular remedy will completely re­ store pale, weak, nervous .men, women and children to robust health. By in­ creasing tbe corpuscles in the blood, and creating new nerve force, they flit .tbe body with new life and vigor, aud banish qiseaae from tbe system. There is no guess work about the results of Dr. Chare's Nerve and Blood Pilis. You can rely absolutely on their restorative and curative properties Fifty cents at all dealers, or by mail on receipt of price, bv Dr. A. W. Chare Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

Whether you buy1 B it of a big coffee dealer or at a little grocery store ’ around the corner, you get the same coffee, the same good­ ness, the same value for your money. ; You can’t t deceived if you buy ARBUCKLES’ Roasted Coffee It is prepared by an individual firm who value their reputation too highly to endanger it by lowering the standard of their coffee. It is hermetically sealed and put up in packages by people of many years experience and utmost reliability. It is not ground because ground coffee loses two-thirds of its flavor before reach­ ing the consumer. It is not sold in bulk because of the possibilities of adulteration. It is not sold at a high price because it is better to sell millions of pounds of coffee at a small profit than hundreds of pounds at a large profit. Every package of Arbuckles’ Roasted Coffee con­ tains information about many valuable articles that the consumer is entitled to receive. Ask your grocer for Arbuckles’ Roasted Coffee.

Their house of worship is located 750 feet underground, constructed entirely by the miners themselves in the heart of a coal mine at-Mynydd Newydd, near Swansea,, in West Glamorgan. The walls of tbe chapel are formed of rough pine logs and loose scantlings and the roof ot hard, smooth cllft, whitened with lime. The ’’house.*’ as It is called, la tlmberrd with pit props on either side and there are two rows ot benches along either wall with hundred seats for one men. on either side Circular seats of the high desk which serves as a pul­ pit seat about twenty more. The ch- p. el Is an unattractive place in appear­ ance, but It has served its purpose ever since 1845, shortly after the mine was opened. A* It 1* safe to work the colliery with naked light*, the little chapel n Illuminated with candles, stuck on pil­ lar* and pitted vault* all around. There being no regular, minister, a volunteer is called upon for each occasion, nnd there Is no lack of willing voices. Ser­ vice la held every Monday morning at b o’clock, before the men begin their day’* work. Tbe service opens with a hymn given out by the conductor and the religious chorus ring* out through the modern catacombs. All the seits are occupied and a row of menXplt outaide with their lamps at their sides. The service is entirely In the Welsh language and consists of a chapter from the Bible, two hymns and two qxtempore prayers.

Grand Rapids, nMich., November 7.— A suit which promises sensational de­ velopments has been started in the United States court by Mrs. Helen ilackley Llttell. of Chicago, against Charles H. Ilackley and Thomas Hume, of Muskegon, in which cemplainant asks for an accounting of the assets of the estate of Porter Haekley. The latter was a brother of Charles H Ilackley, the well-known Muskegon philanthropist, and he was an uncle of Mrs. Llttell. naming her in his will ,ts tlie sole legatee. The inventory which was flliHl by Charles H. Hackley after the death of hiq. brother ou June 2, 1884. placed the value of the estate at ?125,oo<i. hut the complainant now al­ leges that its real value was nearer She charges fraud against Mr. Ilackley ami accuses Mr. Hume of complicity, and the details in the bill are recited at great length. The complaint Alleges tliat Mr. Hackley acted as executor until 1887, when he stkcofed bls discharge withopt ever having made a final accounting to-the court. She says that she was Induced by him to sign the petition fi>r his dis­ charge upon the claim that It was for her interests, and that she did not really know anything about the condi­ tion of affairs until later. Then sue made discoveries upon which this com­ plaint ix based. Her charges are sen­ sational in the extreme. Grand Rapids, Mich.. November 7.— At the regular monthly session of Un Pastors’ conference of this city, the Christian Scientists were given tome of the most vigorous roasting possible. The matter came up over a report by one of the ministers about two persons having left his church and asked for letters to join the Christian Scientists. Other reported similar applications nnd the clergymen all took turns at the faith cure people, some calling it a mild form of insanity, others denouncing it at? a fad. and others advocating the re­ fusal of letters to persons who took any stock in the "crazy notions." No action was taken, but the subject will 1m» more fully and formally dlscuaaed later.

Scores and Thousands Have Been Convinced by being Cured—a Baptist Minister Tells How He Was Cured by DR. CHASE’S 01NTHENT There are so many preparations recoinmended to cure piles, and so many that utterly fail, that most people who suffer the tortures of this loathsome disease become discouraged and despair of ever being cured. It is just such people who, when once cured, most strongly recommend Dr. Chase’s Ointment, because they recog­ nize in it the one absolute cure for itctiing piles. The evidence published here is con­ vincing ; the oulyrbetter proof is a trial. The first application of Dr. Chase’s Ointment will convince tbe most skep­ tical by stopping the terrible itching and burning. It is very seldom that more than one box is required to absolutely cure any case of blind, itching, bleeding or protruding piles. Rev. W. N. Edwards, Baptist minister, 109Trinity Place, Buffalo, N. Y., writes: “* can most heartily recommend Dr. A. W. Chase’s Ointment as a positive cure for itching piles. For over 15 years the piles have been a Source of constant annoyance to me, and frequently the suffering has been most intense. The benefit! derived from the use of Dr. A. W. Chase’s Ointment have been magical and lasting, and I feel it a duty to my fellow-beings to recommend it and use my influence to make its ’wonderful merits known. ” Dr. A. W.

KEIL'S DREAM OF JUSTICE AMONG MEN. EUm Old Mlasourk Colony Memory—Prepared W»« Finally Killed^ by of Vass Wealth. lx for a Only a While but Acx-umulatloe \ (Special Letter.) Few of those who read the books of Bellamy and who dream of an’ideiri commonwealth, where each citizen is equal to every other citizen and all are alike rich with discommon fund, are aware that those ideas embraced in the maxim—"eqttal rights to all and special privileges to none"—were once Actually applied Tn the establishment and subsequent existence of what is historically known as the Bethel Col­ ony, founded and operated on the wind­ ing shores of North river, in Shelby county, Mo. Several years ago Dr. D. R. McAnally (now deceased), the eru­ dite editor of the St. Louis Christian Advocate, in an editorial on the sub­ ject of communism, asserted that the Oneida community in New York, the Bethel Colony and its off-shoot, the Aurora (Ore.) Colony, were the notable Instances of the . application of the • theory of communism upon American j soil. Aside from this slight mention.} tie fame of this singular experiment has been confined to fireside narra­ tives, as the historian of its achieve- 1 rigidly enforced. Each Sabbath morn­ ings the inhabitants were zealously rounded up by the primitive policeman or burgomasters, and this may in part account for the Immeawe attendance, of the famous old church. East of Bethel and down the pictur­ esque North river was erected the man slon house of Dr. Keil, where he lived and dispensed tbe hospitality of a feu­ dal monarch. The house, with ite numerous appurtenances, was called "Elim," was built by the common la­ bor, and was a part ot the possessions of the colony, but it was designed and used as the residence of the leader or governor. A commodious banquet hall served its purpose, and there is a tra­ dition chat Dr. Keil lived and regned here in this western wilderness after the fashion of the^ great King Solo­ mon. with perhaps the major portion of Solomon’s wives and’concubines left out. ' ‘ The colony was founded in the year 1845 and prospered until the departure of its leader in 1858, though to the student of social problems the result would seem a leveling of human hopes and aspirations rather than that tri­ umphant achievement which adorns so grandly the successful struggle of in­ dividual life. Around the departure of the founder there is a story that almost baffles human credence, though It is a well-attested fact. Dr. Keil, like Joshua of old, had sent ont spies to view the realms of the distant west, whether he hoped to ex­ tend the influence of t’iw communistic project: some had returned; , others remained enchanted will the marvel­ ous scenery and enraptured, with the promise of the morning*flawn of that wondrous empire. "Where roils the Oregon, and hears no of Good Begins in the growing. Anywhere between the plantation and the coffee pot' the flavor may be changed,-the quality spoiled by care­ lessness, inexperience, or unscrupulous methods. From the time Arbuckles’ Coffee leaves the hands of the grower until it reaches the user in a sealed packet, it is handled with the same watchfut"care, the same thought for cleanliness, thatAou would give any article of food that goes on your table. The house of Arbuckle is the largest and oldest coffee house in the world. Its employees have grown up caring' for this great business; the business has grown great under the care of its employees.

Perhaps the crowning work of these industrious people, from an architec­ tural standpoint, was the erection of the colony church, which until recently stood In simple grandeur as a memory of better days. This edifice was con­ structed of brick and stone, after the type ot churches in the fatherland. It was paved with tiling, provided with an organ loft. It was crowded each Sunday with the colonists, who, in the zenith of their power, numbered per­ haps a thousand souls. The type of relltfon can not be well defined or classified, as Dr. Kell was the leader In things spiritual as well as tempo­ ral. From the information that is at­ tainable he seems to have preached r sort of polyglot utilitarian doctrine difficult to describe, but if all accounts are true there were many pious souls among them, even though their leader held and preached tenets of faith that must hav^ boon a cross between tht apostles* creed’and the teachings of the Koran.

Cancer can not be cured by a surgical operation, because the disease is a virulent poison in the blood, circulating throughout the system, and although the sore or ulcer—known is the Cancer—may be cut away, the poison remains in the blood, and promptly breaks out afresh, with renewed violence. . Ti1© wonderful success of S. S. S. in curing obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases which were considered incurable, induced a few de­ spairing sufferers to try it for Cdncer, after exhausting the skill of the physicians without a cure. Much to their delight S. 8. 8. proved equal to the disease and promptly effected a cure. The srlaa newre spread rapidly, and it was soon^ demonstrated beyond doubt that a cure had at last been found for deadly Cancer. Evidence has accu­ mulated which is incontrovertible, of which the following is a specimen : • “ Cancer is hereditary in our family, my father, a sister and an aunt having died from this dreadful disease. My feelings may be imagined when the hor­ rible disease made its appearance on my side. It was a malignant Cancer, eating inwardly in such a way as to cause great alarm. The disease seemetl beyond the skill of the doctors, for their treatment did no good whatever, the Cazicer growing worse all the while. Numerous remedies were used for it but the Cancer MRS. 8. M.

Tbe foregoing shows some of the condi­ tions which prevail throughout the coun­ try. Tbe prospects are that those condi­ tions will not Improve but that many of the other districts that contain a sufficient number of pupils to profitably employ a teacher’s time, will diminish iu school population. It is a matter in which 1 think everyone will agree that something ought to be done to equalize the schools and place them more thoroughly upon a uniform basis that will secure the pupils a better education and to the taxpayers a greater return for their money.

Almost everybody who reads the news­ papers is sure to know of the wonderful cures made by Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder remedy. It is the great medi­ cal triumph of the nine­ teenth century; dis­ covered after years of scientific research by Dr. Kilmer, the emi­ nent kidney and blad­ der specialist, and is wonderfully successful in promptly curing lame back, kidney, bladder, uric acid trou­ bles and Bright's Disease, which is the worst form of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root Is not rec­ ommended for everything but if you have kid­ ney, liver or bladder trouble it will be found just the remedy you need. It has been tested to so many ways, in hospital work, in private practice, among the helpless too poor to pur­ chase relief and has proved so successful in every case that a special arrangement has been made by which ^11 readers of this paper •who have not already7trled ft, may have a sample bottle sent free by mail, also a book telling more about Swamp-Root and how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble.

One offthe men shot and killed three of Rank s chickens and despite hlsp rotests bag two of them. Then the men ran away with Rank in pur­ suit. One of the men escaped In the di­ rection of Zilwaukee. The other, who ran toward Sherman street, was fol­ lowed by Rank. Tbe fellow pointed his gun at bls pursuer, threatening to shoot, and did actually fire three times, .but Rank fortunately escaped serious injury, though the first discharge lodged three shot In his jierson, one be­ low the right eye and two In the left hand. He dug the latter out with his jack-knife and pluckily continued the chase, but without success. There were aosw men In Manila, who crazed with beno, a drink wane than alco­ hol, committed a dastardly deed.

Chicago, Nov. 13.—A gpccial to tbe Chronicle from Omaha. Neb., says: A long lost will has come to light and with It the prospect that the Imniense estate of the lake Andrew J.

Davis was one of the most conspicuous of the wealthy men of Montana, and when he died on March 11. 1800. he left an estate val­ ued at from >5.000,000 to $7,000,000.

During the trials of the various cases that greyv out of the coutest. affidavits were filed to'show that other and later ■wills than the one of 1864 had been made by the decedent, but none of them appeared. The document that has now turned up purports to have been executed In October, 1880, some five monita prior to the death of An­ drew J. Davis.

William Reany. whose parents reside In Detroit Last EDITORIAL NOTES. Agulnaldo is getting in a mighty tight place and doubtless appreciates that he Is not dealing with Spanish soldiers now. The American troops have captured Tarlac, his seat of government, taken several hundred prisoners, several hundred thous­ and pounds of rice, salt and supplies, be­ sides stacks of rifles, ammunition, clothing and blankets. Among tbe prisoners was Agnlnaldo’s secretary, and despatches in­ tercepted by Gen. Lawton show that the Philippine rebel is in sore straits. What a gloomy outlook tbe free silverites-.have tdward tbe future. In 1806 they were saying that prosperity could never come without free coinage of sliver 16 to 1. Last year they denied that prosparity was here, though it was tbe biggest business year the world ever knew. This year, which is still better than last, they have to admit that tbe times are highly prosperous, but they take refuge behind the statement that **it can’t last.’’ It is plainly seen that they are bound not to be suited. A Populist Nightmare of *96. From tbe Kansas City Journal. Tbe Oswego Independent has dug up an old banner which was carried in tbe populist parades in Labette county during the campaign of 1396, which reads as follows: . “A vote for McKinley Means More Tramps.” “McKinley’s Election Means10 cent oom. 25 cent wheat. 8 cent oats. Si.00 per ton for bay. 5 cents per pound for butter. 8 cents per dozen for eggs, Scent hogs. IX cents for fat cattle. No money to carry on business.*’ Every indication points to a contlnualion for some years of this era of un­ exampled activity and prosperity upon which tbe United States has now entered. There may be some cheek due to high prices, which themselves are caused by great demand, bnt with a wise determina­ tion of onr currency question and a statesmanlike treatment of tbe new political questions created by the unex­ pected responsibilities thrown upon, us by reason of the war with Spain, there seems to be no reason why tbe United Statea may not, in tbe era upon which a be Is now entering, achieve a position which will be recognized as that of finan­ cial independence, tbe first power in the world as an agricultural and manufactur­ ing nation and as an exporter of manu­ factured products, and perhapa New York •«nay take tbe place so long held by ’London as the financial clearing bouse and 'financial center of the world.—American Monthly Review of Reviews. week tbe Chaplain paid a visit to bls borne, and In an Interview with the De­ troit Journal, said: “Tbe people of this country, some of them, judge tbe Filipinos too much by themselves. They think tbe Filipinos are moved by tbe same spirit of liberty that animated onr forefathers to fight the revo­ lution. But that Is not tbe case. Aguinaldo Is no George Washington. He Is a little sawed-off wooden-faced man with small force of character, and is a figure­ bead in the hands of abler men. There are several men there more Important than Aguinaldo. “There is Mableni, for instance. His was the policy of keeping the prisoners. He said, ‘If you keep tbe prisoners yon will have something that they will want bad enough to ask- yon for and will get some recognition.* Then there is Celso Major, who is a military genius. He is descended from a Spanish general. He plans tbe fortifications. His trenches are models and command tbe admiration of our military men. Then there is Pio del Pilar, who is a horse thief and desperado. He used to have a gang of men that he sent out to be cooks or servants in houses. After a while tbe silver plate would dis­ appear. You would get it back by paying Pio del Pilar for it. He made a lot of money In this way. ' Troalewme Mestizos. •The troublesome men are the Mestizos. These are a mixture of Chinese and na­ tive Tagaloa. All the men that are mak­ ing tbe trouble are Mestizos. They are in tbe war for tbe loot there is In it. There is no patriotism about the business. There is no aspiration after freedom of self-government It is sordid, criminal passions that Inspire the so-called patriots.

Every claim made for Dr. Chase’s Oiatment is heartily endorsed by thousands of cured men and women, who write most gratefully of the won-> derful curative properties of this great remedy. To say that Dr. Chase's Ointment is an absolute cure for blind, itching, bleeding or protruding piles is but to sum np the evidence of the scores of letters which daily ceme to these offices. Mr. M. A. Crossman, who represents Messrs. Vosburgh and Whiting, Buffalo, N.Y., writes: *'Iwas troubled with pro­ truding, itching piles for ten years, and tried all known remedies to no avail— not even relief. Before using all of ppc box of Dr. Chase's Ointment I was en­ tirely cured, and cheerfully recommend the ointment to any one suffering with piles, for my case was as bsd as any one could be and live.'* Dr. Chase’s Ointment is endorsed by the best physicians, and has a record ot cures unparalleled in the history of medicine. It is a positive cure for piles, and is guaranteed as such. It is the only remedy which has never been known to fail to cure tbe most serious case of blind, itching, bleeding or pro­ trading piles.

SOME SENSATIONAL DEVELOPKANTS ARE EXPECTED. PUBLICITY WILL CAL’SE THE CASE TO BE INVESTIGATED. Grand Rapids. Mich., Nov 11.— There is a nasty row on In the state ^oard pardon over the application of Wright, the wealthy murderer from Bensonla, for a commutlon of bls sen­ tence, and some sensational develop­ ments are expected. There are a num­ ber of people here who are interested in the case, and who have followed, it closely. One of these is George B. Covell, United States district attorney, who was prosecuting attorney at tbe time Wright was convicted. Another is Leo B. Kymer, brother-in-law of Dr. Thurt>er. one of the men murdered by Wright. When the application for a pardon or commutlon wag first made they paid little attention to it, but were astound­ ed to learn a few days ago that the pardon board had adopted a recom­ mendation for a commutlon to fifteen years, which practically would release the prisoner very soon. District At­ torney Covell commenced to investi­ gate and he found that the action was taken at the last meeting held a month ago in Detroit and was on motion of Member George W. Turner, of Trav­ erse City. This was especially sur­ prising, as Turner had heretofore been openly opposed to any clemency for the murderer, having repeatedly de­ clared It the most atrocious crime In tbe annals of the state. On investi­ gation It Is alleged Covell found that Wright’s relatives had employed Tur­ ner’s brothers as their attorneys, and charges that Turner's change of opin­ ion came about the time they were employed*. The fact that the convict and ids rel­ atives are Immensely wealthy, Mr. Co­ vell declares, is a feature to l>e taken Into consideration, and he makes some statements even more direct. It now appears that David E. Burns, of this city, the new member of the board, was never notified of that meeting and was not present when tbe vote was taken. He had expressed himself em­ phatically against any clemency to Wright and knew nothin? about tho action of his colleagues until he learned it from unofficial sources after­ wards. . A large number of Traverse City and Benzonia people have written the gov­ ernor and) other state officials protest­ ing against the action of the pardon board, and among others Gen. White was asked to use what influence he had to Induce the governor not to ac­ cept the recommendation of the board, until, at least, he had made a personal investigation of the case. ------- ViaC.

Fortunately the north­ bound train was coming in slowly and was able to stop and commence back­ ing up before the south-bound engine crashed Into the other, and the prin­ cipal damage done was a couple of wrecked pilots and a few displaced drawbars. The engineer and fireman on the south-bound train jumped and no one was Injured. Lansing.

There is not the slightest doubt that th* doctors do more harm than good in treating wui^iuua Contagious joiuwi Blood iuikju Poison ; many victims w J loath*°me disease would be much better off to-day to-day if if they never allowed them* off they had ____________ selves to be be dosed on mercury and potash, the the b?^i^MWhichth‘doc‘or’ ... ... , , The doctors are wholly unable to get rid of this vile poison, and only attempt to heal up the outward appearance of the disease—the sores and eruptions. This they do by driving the poison into the •ystem, and endeavor to keep it shut in with their constant doses of potash and mercury. The mouth and throat and other delicate parts then break out into sores, and the fight is continued indefinitely, the drugs doing the system more damage than the disease itself. Mr. H. L. Myers, 100 Mulberry St., Newark, N.’J., says: “I had spent a hundred dollars with the doctors, when J realized that • they could do me no good. I had large spots all over my body, and these soon broke out into running sores, and I endured all the suffering which this vile disease pro­ duces. I decided to try 8: 8. 8. as a last resort, and was soon greatlv improved. I followed closely your .'Direc­ tions for Self-Treatment,’ and the large splotches on my chest began to grow paler and smaller, and before long disappeared entirely. I wns soon cured perfectly and my skin lias been as clear as glass ever since. I cured my­ self at home, after the doctors had failed completely.” It is valuable time thrown away to expect the doctors to cure Contagious Blood Poison, for the disease is be­ yond their skill. Swifts Specific— S. S. S. FOR THE BLOOD —acts In an entirely different way from potash and mercury—it forces the Joison out of the system and gets rid of it entirely. Hence it cures tha isease, while other remedies only shut the poison in where it lurks forever, constantly undermining the constitution. Our system of private home treat­ ment places a cure within the reach of all. We give all necessary medical ad­ vice, free of charge, and save the patient the embarrassment of publicity.

Dr. Taylor dressed the wound and says that Mr. Fenton came to bis bouse Immediately after tbe train arrived. That tbe blood from tbe wound was dried which would tend to show that tbe wound was made some little time before. Mr. Fenton Is very reluctant In talking about tbe matter. Some think tbe story as told by himself is correct. Others that be was shot at Caledonia, while not a few wbo claim to know the young man will insin­ uate that be did tbe deed himself. He Is a young man of good character and al­ though not in good health he has been able to work right along. Glorioaa Newt Comes from Dr. D. B. Cargile, of Washita, I. T.

The Kalamazoo Beet Sugar factory will commence ■ operations tbla week. The plant from all outside appearances is a model one, as It ought to be when it la taken Into consideration that almost $400,­ 000 is Invested In It. Immense sheds have been constructed and these, we under­ stand. are full of beets ready for the factory to open. On a side track near the factory Is a long row/of freight and flat cars also loaded with beets. Every­ thing seems to promise well for tbe fac­ tory, though tbe weather, together with tbe inexperience of farmers In raising sugar beets, may somewhat dampen the ardor of some farmers in growing beets,, yet we believe that with more experience in beet culture and more favorable seasons a beet sugar factory will prove one of tbe best and most helpful friends a farmer can have. Tbe friendship of Kalamazoo Knights of Pythias for-their Hastings brothers was again most tenderly shown. Recently upon tbe arrival of Mr. and Mrs. D. W.

In session In Indianapolis, of a new assessment rate table to go into effect on January 1, 1900. From present indications the outcome of tbe trouule will be a big legal battle between representatives of the New Jersey members and the su­ preme lodge of the parent order. It will be a suit to determine wheth­ er the latter has a right to re-rate old members, taking Into account their present age, as if they were new mem­ bers, without regard to the fact that many of them have been In the order more than 20 years, thereby Increas­ ing the amount of their assessments from 200 to 300 per cent over the old nite.

The smaller en­ gine was almost totally wrecked, the tender being driven tight against the fire box and the engine entirely dis­ mantled. while over a dozen cars were crushed and piled up a heap of wreck­ age. Fortunately no one was injured, both engine crews jumping to safety. Both trains were specials, and the only trains ou< on their respective divisions. At this point a single three-rail track is used jointly by the two divisions from the Port Huron yards to Almont junction, two miles west. At this junc­ tion^ no night operator is maintained. Th^scene of the wreck Is in a deep cut, with a steep grade and on a sharp curve, in consequence the trains could not sight each other until' quite dose together. Although approaching comparatively slow, the disaster could not then be averted. The Incoming train, in charge of Conductor John McGinnis, with en­ gine No. loti. Engineer Wm.

Nov. 20.—Parties here, dissatisfied with the manner the Iosco Building A- Loan Association have been foreclosing mortgages, en­ gaged the services of a detective asso­ ciation. resulting in the alleged dis­ covery of some rather queer proceed­ ings. The services of an outside at­ torney have been engaged and suits will be instituted to recover surplus moneys paid in to the loan. It appears the loan bld in the properties for the full amount of the mortgage, and in some eases the mortgages were nearly paid up. As the property was bought for the full amount of the mortgage, the mortgagors want the overplus paid to them. It is claimed the sales were Irregular, and that the sheriff had no authority to Issue deeds to the association until tbe money for the purchase had been paid, and then the sheriff should have paid the money to each as due them. Chicago parties are affected. one,of the OMtst ■nd most conservative companies in existence. Why with the Massachusetts Mutual? Be- ■ cause a policy holder and beneficiary in that Company is protected by the famous fiOB-fClltitirc law of Massa­ chusetts. the best by far in the union. Their policies are absolutely non-forfeitable after two annual paj meats have been made thereon. The law makes therti so and there are no ifs nor and’s about it. Said law protects every policy bolder for all that his money has earned in pro­ tection or investment. The law prohibits jf Tontine or forfeiture business. The policies are simple and plain, the values being written in the face of the policy for every year after the first.

The •*anll•imperialists’, In this country are at a loss now to communicate with tbelr friend Aguiealdo, as be has to move his Capitol every day, with U. S. soldiers behind him to hurxy him along. Lively contests for the republican candidacy for governor are likely to be made In the coming campaign in Michigan, Indiana and Illinois. juddlng from the sug­ gestion which begins tn appear regarding candidates for tbe position In the respect­ ive states. This rather early activity of tbe canvas indicates the prevailing con­ fidence that each of the states Is to be safely counted In tbe republican column. Senator Cullom, of Illinois, who wm chairman of the congressional committee which visited Hawaii and made a report upon tbe situation there, says that he shall reintroduce bis bill for the annexa­ tion of that country to the United States at tbe coming session ot congress and hopes to have early favorable action on it. He also expects that congress will soon make provision for a stable government In Puerto Rico, though what the policy will be in regard to the latter be does not attempt to predict. The Bryanlte spoutera have striven con­ stantly to divide the American people into “the rich” and “the poor,” abusing the former with great volume of voices. Capitalists and plutocrats have been paint­ ed as a sort of ogre, feeding on millions of helpless ^paupers. The truth is, as every­ body intelligent enough to breathe may be presumed to know, that tbe ferocious monster called capital Is composed of tbe savings of an immense number ot small capitalists, men, women and children, who are mean-spirited enough to work and save instead of loafing and yawping about the wrongs of labor and tbe curse of monopoly. The butcher, the baker, tbe candlestick maker, Tom. Dick and Harry, these are the real American pluto­ crats. There are millions of them, and tbelr combined capital amdunts to billions. In the bankers’ convention the other day Colonel Myron T. Herrick of Cleve­ land talked about •’The Effects of Banks on the People’s Progress.” Perhaps “The Effects of the People’s Progress on Banks” would have been a more exact title.

It is not ground because ground coffee loses two-thirds of its flavor before reach­ ing the consumer. It is not sold in bulk because of the possibilities of adulteration.

In the neareat regimental camp., regular and roluuteer, were "lined up" along the'.entry poeta and ailently, eagerly watching and waiting. For a wehk rumor had been rite that order, tor a mow were coming, and the brigades hailed It with delight. For a month ■hirering at night in dripping, drench­ ing fog, drifting in from the Pacific, or .drilling for hours each day on the bleak •lope* of the Presidio heights, they had been praying for something to break the monotony of tbe routine. They were envious of the comradea who had been shipped to Manila, emulous of those who had stormed Santiago, and would have welcomed with unreason­ ing enthusiasm auy mandate that bore promise of change of scene—or duty. Tbe afternoon was rlw and chilly; the wet wind blew salt aid strong from the westward sen, ami (he mist relied in, thick and fleecy, hiding from view the familiar landmarks ot the neighborhood and forcing a display, of lamplights in the row of gaudy saloons across the sweet that bounded the camp ground toward the setting sun, though that in­ visible luminary was sfill un hour high and afternoon drill only just over. Company after company hi their cam­ paign bats und flannel shirts, in worn blue trousers and brown canvas leg­ gings, tbe men hut! come swinging in from the broad drivewaysxif the beau­ tiful park to the south and, as they passed the tents of thc commanding general, even though they kept their heads erect and noses to the front, their wary eyes glanced quickly ut the un­ usual array of saddled horses, of car­ riages and Concord w agons halted along the curbstone, and noted the number of officers grouped about thc gale. Poucbos and overcoat capes were much in evidence on every side as the men , broke ranks, scattered to their tents to stow away their dripping arms and ' ,; .------- ~ -•> ------- —rr—e. belts, and then .atnv streaming out to [ atare. unrebuked, at headquarters.

As a result a select company of student volunteers was ’ formed; its mem tiers agreed to drill an hour daily in addition to the prescribed work, provided Billy would "take hold” in earnest, and this was the company that, under his command, swept tfie boards six weeks later and left San i edro s contingent an- Amazed and dis­ gusted crowd. 'Bien Billy went to metaphorical pieces again until the war clouds overspread the land; then like his father* son he girded up his loins, went in for a commission and won. And here he was a “sub" in Uncle Sam's stalwart infantry with three classmates serving under him in the ranksand half a dozen more, either as junior officers or enlisted men, in the camps of the volunteers. He was a handsome boy, a healthy, hearty boy, and, as boys go, rather a good boy—a boy in whom his mother would have found, had she not long since been lifted above the cares of this world, much of comfort and more to condone, but a boy, neverthe­ less. who had given bis old dragoon of a dad many an anxious hour.

CHASE’S । KIDNEY-LIVER PILLS Nature makes an extra .effort in the spring to rid tbe blood of its imparities, and tbe filters of the blood—tbe kidneys and liver—are called upon to perform;aa enormous amount of labor. As a result, they become tired and ex­ hausted, and there are backachea. side­ aches, headaches, and pains in tbe •boulders and limbs. Digestion is de­ ranged, and the languid, exhausted feel­ ings of spring cause misery to the body. There is only one means of making the blood pure, and that is through the kidneys and liver—the filters of the blood. By acting directly on these delicate organs. Dr. Chase’s Kidney­ Liver Pills purify the blood as no other preparation was ever known to do. Mr. Wm. L. Maurey, Scottsville, N.

LOSSES wnx APPROXIMATE UALF ▲ MILLION DOLLARS. Detroit, Michigan. November 25.— A greats tongue of flame shot from .the upper story in" the rear of A. KroMk &. Co.’s wholesale dry goods store at 136 and 140 Jefferson avenue a minute before 10 o’clock last night and stretched like a flaming sheet across Woodbridge street upon which the budding backs. Patrolman Matteeon was startled by the Rouhd of falling glass and glanced quickly in the direction of the Are. In another moment he called to a citizen and the message was transferred over to the fire department. Meantime the tire gained headway and burned fiercely from the rear por­ tion of the building, while great clouds of smoke rolled out over the Jefferson avenue entrance. Tlie two upper floors appeared to contain the furnace of fire and when the engines dashed up to the scene the heal from the upper story could be felt a block away. The fire continued to gain in force, and fiercely attacked the walls that separated it from the building of Strong, Lee & Co., on the west. Still the firemen seemed to be without a director, aud ran about, hauling their hose from one piece to the other, with­ out having any effect upon the blaze. However, after much delay, streams •were placed Tn good working order, and the water tower was raised to play from the rear. It poured hundreds ot gallons of water Into the burning structure aud did the most effective work. The fire, no longer confined to the upper floors. lumped down’ the freight elevator shaft in the rear of tlie building. It was checked in its career to some extent, however. The blaze proper continued to rage through the two upper stories. The flumes were finally subdued by tbe tine work of the firemen. Mr. Krlllk estimates his stock at $44X1.000. Tills is an entire loss. He •was insured for $230,000. held by vari­ ous companies. The building is owned bv the Palms estate and is valued at $110.4)00. It Is insured for over half that amount Strong. Lee & Co? values its stock at $44X1.000 and are insured for about $300,000. Their damage was entirely by water and smoke and reaches $100,­ 000. The building is owned by the Marshall Jewell estate, of Hartford, Ct It suffered very little damage. C. H. Ritter & Co., wholesale liquor dealers, were flooded) by water, loss $1,000. Bloomganen & Ellenstein, commission merchants on Woodbridge street suffer a loss of $2,500, with $1.­ 600 Insurance. F. W.

Lee’s to justify the report yflbllsbed In the United States and cabled back here that a thousand armed Ctb Lan insurgents have taken to the woods Id the province of Pluar del Rio and that a general uprising against the Americans has been planned for Thanksgiving day. Indeed, the story, is absolutely discredited by the Amer­ ican authorities, wbo say it is Impos­ sible that anything of.the kind should have happened or should be in pros­ pect without the knowledge of It com­ ing to some army poet. Rumors of a more or less alarmist character have for some time been plentiful around Havana. It is said, for instance, that this general or that is ulanit to take to the woods, and it Is apparently true that certain men are nursing programs hostile to the Amer­ ican administration. But the spread of the camiiaign of education is doing a great deal to offset the influence of such people, and in any event no trouble whatever Is likely to occur rtntil after congress meets. It is a fact, however, tbat uany America us here believe that If nothing is done toward giving tbe Cubans some definite as­ surances, If not a precise date, regard­ ing tbe IfKtependence of the island, there will be a rising of some sort, though opinions differ widely with re gard to what it will amount to. Some believe that the malcontents^ will lie practically bandits, easily controlled by a few troops.

Ah a matter of fact there is no serious hitch, and the reasons which Influenced the state de­ partment here in rejecting the BritishAmerican arrangement, when it was submitted for approval related entirely to minor matters and touched rather u]K)u the form thau the substance of the arrangement.

One man alone, the commanding gen­ eral, was speaking; all the others lis­ tened iu respectful alienee. In the gloom of that late, fog-shrouded after­ noon a lantern or two would have been welcome, but the conference had be­ gun while it was still light enough for the chief to read the mempranda on his desk, and now he was talking without notes. In the array of grave, thought­ ful faces, some actually somber aud severe in expression, a smile would have seemed out of place, yet, all on a sud­ den. grim features relaxed, deep-set eyes twinkled and glanced quickly about in search of kindred sympathetic spirits, and more than half the bearded faces broadened into a grin of merri­ ment. and as many heads were sudden­ ly uplifted, for just as the gray-haired chief ended an impressive period with the words: “It will be no laughing matter if I can lay hold of them.” there burst upon the surprised ears of the -group a peal of the merriest laughter imaginable—the rippling, joyous, mu­ sical laughter of happy girlhood ming­ ling with the hearty, wholesome, if somewhat boyish, outburst of jollity of healthful youth. * “Merciful powers!” exclaimed the chief. “I had forgotten all about those people. They must have been here 20 minutes." r “Sixty-five, sir, by the watch," said a saturnine-looking soldier, tall and stal­ wart, and wearing the shield of the ad­ jutant generaI’s department ph the col­ lar of his sack o^at. “They uugut ought to IV gv, go, then, mvu, ” was «<i» the placid suggestion of a third officer, a man with keen eyes, thin, almost ascetic face, but there twitched a quaint humor about the lines of his lips, “That visit’s past the retiring age."

It was stoutly wrapped, tightly corded, and profusely sealed, but with the sharp point of an eraser the general slit the fastenings, tore off the wrapper, and felt rather than saw that a bundle of letters, rolled in tissue paper and tied with ribbon, ribbon long since faded and wrinkled, lay within. This he care­ fully placed in a large-sized military letter envelope, moistened and pressed tight the gummed flap, stowed it in the inner pocket ufLhe overcoat that hung at the rear tent polr.xreduced the wrap­ per and its superscription to minute fragments, and dropped them into the ttaste-basket, all as carefully and meth­ odically as though life knew neither hurry nor worry; then bowed his lined face in both hairdsa moment in utter si­ lence and in unmistakable sadness. Presently his lips moved: “Cun you look down and see that 1 have kept my word, Agnes?" he murmured. “God help me to find him and save him—yet." Once again the laughter, the, gay­ young voices, rang from the other tent. All over camp, far and near, from the limits of the park to the very slope of the height at the north, the, evening bugles were tailing by thousands the thronging soldiery to mess or roll call. Slowly the general rose, drew on his overcoat, and in another moment, un­ urr der me the Mupiug sloping visor oi of ins his lorage forage cap. with ryes that twinkled behind their glasses, with a genial smile softening every feature, his fine soldierly face peered iu on the scene uf light, of merriment and laughter under the canvas roof of the only home he knew in the world—the soldier home of one whose conversation. | life had been spent following the flag ‘They don’t lack for entertainers," j through bivouac, ramp or garrison, hazarded a staff officer as soon as he ' through many a march, battle aud cam- could make himself heard. ‘The sol- paign all over the broad lands of the cmn-looklng Gothamite who came with ; United States until now, at the hour them must have slipped out." when most men turned for the placid “it seems he knows Col.

There is a right way and a wrong way to buy clothing. The. wrong way is to go "looking around” for some­ thing that’s cheap. A cheap suit is always expen­ sive, because it’s made to sell, not to wear. It inay look good on the counter— that’s the only time it does look good. After a little wear the pants will bag at the knees, fray out at tbe bottom, the coat will push up in the back, and there will be all the other evidences of attempted ecomony by buying cheap clothes. We don’t keep cheap clothes: wouldn’t have a suit in the store. We do have good clothee that we sell at as low prices as they can be sold, quality considered. The RIGHT WAY to buy clothing is to pay a fair price—it’s economy in the end too. Every year we learn something in the clothing business, and our years of experience better qualify us to please customers. At the present time we have an extra fine stock on hand and a growing trade convinces us- that sell­ ing good GOODS is the only right way to do business. A proof of this we point with pride to hundreds of families who commenced trading with us years ago and are today our staunchest friends and best patrons.

CHASE’S OINTHENT There are so many preparations recomRsended to cure piles, and so many that Rtterly fail, that moat people who suffer the tortures of this loathsome disease become discouraged and despair of ever being cured. It is just such people who, when once cured, most strongly recommend Dr. Chase’s Ointment, because they recog■ire in it the one absolute cure foritcb- The evidence published here ia con­ vincing ; the only better proof is a triaL The first application of Dr. Chase’s Ointment will convince the moat skep­ tical by stopping the terrible itching and burning. It is very seldom that more than one box is required to absolutely cure any case of blind, itching, bleeding or protruding piles. Rev. W. N. Edwards, Baptist minister, 109Trinity Place, Buffalo, N. Y., writes: "I can most heartily recommend Dr. A. W. Chase’s Ointment as a positive cure for itching piles. For over 15 years the piles have been a source of constant annoyance to me, and frequently the suffering has been most intense. The benefits derived from the use of Dr. A. W.-Chase's Ointment have been magical and lasting, and I feel it a duty to my fellow-beings to recommend it and use lay influence to make its wonderful Merits known.” Dr. A. W.

Btatiens. Detroit, Mich.. Dec. 4.—Deep mourn­ ing prevails In thv* home of the be­ reaved family of John M. Relndel. who was foully murdered In the repair room of his bicycle shop ut 1IH1 Griswold street Saturday night. Rclndel’s fore­ head and head were a sight to behold. He waaflying ou bis back when found with his bead resting on the left side. Over the right eye there was a deep cut and abrasion and the blood bad spurted from this wound aud from hls ears . On the left side of bis head were several deep cuts. The greatest gosn was near the center of bls fore­ head. The^sklu was ripped wide open and the skull crushed in so that death would have been almost a certainty from this blow alone. On hls neck were evidences of an abrasion, the skin being drawn up and crumpled. To add to the horror of the dead man's appearance a lire had evidently been started on bJs clothing. It is not known whether the murderer deliber­ ately threw the gasoline over tbe pros­ trate man’s clothing and then set tire to it or whether it caught from a blaze that might have been in use doing some repair work. There was a braz­ ing machine alongside the dead man an dthe can that had contained the gas­ oline waa also found by his side. It was nearly empty, but tbe stopper was in tbe mouthpiece. So carefully deliberated was the mur­ der that not tbe least light was shed on the identity of Relndel’s slayer Sunday nor even a small clue that would lead to anything of great Im­ portance was discovered. The rela­ tives told the officers of a man who had been garnisheed by the murdered man and wbo had threatened all sorts of revenge. It was their only hope and the officer are searching in this direc­ tion. A restaurant kee]>er came to head­ quarters and Informed Chief McDon­ nell that a man came into his place Saturday afternoon and. after partak­ ing of a slight lunch, told one of the employes that something would hap­ pen that would startle the community before tbe night was over. Then be disappeared. Tbe detectives have a good description of tbe man and are making every effort to find him. From what can be learned of his appearance It would indicate that he was not men­ tally right and the officers have almost concluded that an insane man murLJohu Reindel. The awfulness of the crime would lend to this theory and the cunning with which It wai planned would tend to confirm it /n lQR' M,ch- Dec-\i-—In the case of Gurd vs. Auditor-General Dlx, de­ cided by the Supreme Court Saturday the relator sought to show a tax deed which he had purchased, canceled and his money refunded. The notice of the Hale of the lands involved was printed *! >V1?rondmet a Dutch newspaper, at Holland, and such publication is conceded to have been Illegal. The auditor-general based his refusal to re­ fund tbo money on the ground that he had no authority to do so except as ex­ pressly provided by statute, and that in this case It did not appear to him that he was authorized to refund by express statute. The Supreme Court directs the payment of the money to Gurd on the theory that the deed Is manifestly void, and that If It were so declared by a court there would be no question as to tbe duty of the andltorgeneral to refund- The sale made by the auditor-general was In contraven­ tion of the statute, and all money re­ ceived under such sales should be paid back.

In sub­ mitting his report- Prof. Kedzle says that the rock was so selected as to warant the statement that the qssay does not overrate the mine. The assay showed 1 1-2 ounces of gold, 12 ounces of silver and 60.60 per cent of copper, making an aggregate value of $87 per ton, which Is unprecedented.

If you're paying a high price, you’re probably paying as much for a name as for the coffee. ■ Arbuckles’ Coffee is a plain, substantial coffee with an excellent aroma and delicate flavor, sold in a substantial way at an honest price. You don’t want better than good coffee, do you ? You can't afford to pay twice the price that’s necessary, can you? Then why not get Arbuckles’? Get right down to the coffee question and settle it now. By buying many millions of pounds we buy the best of many large plantations at a low price. We sell it to you ata low price because we would rather sell millions of pounds at a low profit than a thousand pounds at a big profit. Arbuckles Roasted Coffee is the daily beverage on millions of tables. Why not on yours? There’s an additional consideration in the many substantial and useful articles that go with the coffee Ask your grocer for it. He’ll tell you all about it. If he endeavors to substitute an imita­ tion, insist on getting the genuine Arbuckles’—or go elsewhere. ARBUCKLE BROS., _ Notion Department. GEI. YOUNG CLOSEa.Y New York. City, N. Y PURSUING THE H10UE1. LEADER. Manlla, Dec. 5.—A dispatch from Santa Cruz, province of South 1 locos, forwarded by courier to San Fabian, says that Gen. Young, with three troops of the Third Cavalry aud Maj. Peyton C. March’s Imttnlion of the Thirty-third Infantry, arrived at Santa Cruz Monday. The Americans left Haiuapaciw, j>rovince of Unlou. Mon­ thly moruiug, expecting to have a bard light at Tagudln. in South Hocus pro­ vince. but they fouud, on arriving there, that 600 rebels, under Geu. Tino, had evacuated thirty-six hours before, deserting on almost impregnable posi­ tion. The Insurgents bad been in­ trenched at Tagudln on the north sldt of tbe river, where JOO well-disciplined troops could have slaughtered a whole brigade crossing the river, with the men up to the arm pit iu water. Residents of Tagudln received the Americans outside the town with a brass band? They had been robbed of almost everything by the insurgents, and -were glad to welcome friendly and protecting troops. A similar reception awaited Gen. Young at Santa Cruz. Prominent citizens, headed by a band, escorted the American officers to houses, where rest and refreshment were offered. Gen. Young’s command was almost without food. The men had been liv­ ing on the country, which affords but little and the horses are completely worn out, most of them without shoes. The Inhabitants of Santa Cruz and of other towns through which the Americans passed say that Agulnaldo and hls entire refugee army have gone Into tbe mountains eastward since the Oregon, Samar and Callao attacked Vlgan and landed a force there. Gen. Young hopes to find Agulnaldo in Benguet mountain pans and to cap­ ture him there. Both entrances to Benguet are fortified. Two troops of the Third Cavalry wlH reinfort-e Gen. Young in the pass.

The sun of early August shone hot and strong upon the sandy wastes between the western lim­ its of the division camps and the foamy strand beneath the low bluffs, and beat upon the canvas homes of the rejoicing soldiery, slacking cloth and cordage so that the trim tent lines had become broken and jagged, thereby setting the teeth of “Old Squeers” on edge ns he gazed grimly from under the brim of his unsightly felt hat and called for his one faithful henchman, the orderly. Even his adjutant could not condone the regi­ mental commander’s objectionable traits, for a crustier old villain of a vet­ eran lived not in the line of the army. “Ould Canker" the troopers had dubbed him during the few years he had served in the cavalry, transplanted from a foot regiment at the time of the reorganiza­ tion, so-called, of the army in ’71; but a few years of mounted duty in Arizona and later in the Sioux country had sick­ ened him of cavalry life and he gladly accepted a chance to transfer back”io the infantry.

He was a bachelor, yet would never join a “meaa," but kept houaa himaelf and usually had some favored comrade living with him. He was 40 and did not look 35. He was UU, erect, athletic, hardy and graceful in build, and his face waa one of the best to be seen in many a line of officers at parade. Hi* eyes were steel gray and clear and penetrating, his features clear-cut, al­ most too deUcately tart, thought some, of the best friends he had among the J?.!?’ .1®“ halr ™ brown, sprinkled liberally with silver; his mouth, an admiruble mouth in every wav, was shaded and half-hidden by a long, drooping mustache to which, some men thought and some women mid, his topering white fingers paid too much attention, but I doubt it a knowledge ot tola criticism would hare led to the taintest alteration in the habit Gen­ erally tbe expression ot Armstrong's face was grave, and, on duty a trifie stern: and not ten people in the world were aware what humor could twinkle in the clear, keen eyes, or twitch about toe corners ot that mobile mouth. There were no five who knew the ten­ derness that lay in hiding there, for Armstrong had few living kindred and they were men. There lived not, as he drove this glorious August morning to the breezy uplands beyond the camps, one woman who could say she had seen those eyes of Armfctrong’s melt and glow with love. As for Amy Lawrence, she was not dreaming of such a thing. She was not even looking at him. Her thoughts at the moment were drifting back to that usually light-hearted boy who stood gazing so disconsolately after them as they drove away, her eyes were intent upon an approaching group that presently reclaimed her wandering thoughts. Coining up Point Lobos avenue strode a party of four—all soldiers. One of these, wild-eyed, bareheaded, dishev­ eled, his clothing torn, his wrists lashed behind him, walked between two armed guards. The fourth, a sergeant, fol­ lowed at their heels. Miss Lawrence had just time to note that the downcast face was dark and oval and refined, when it was suddenly uplifted at sound of the whirring carriage wheels. A light of recognition, almost of terror, flashed across it, and with one bound the prisoner sprang from between his guards, dove almost under the noses of the startled team, and darted through the wide open doorway of a corner sa­ loon.

HE cinch play­ ers in the back room of the store looted' up from their hands as Squire Jordan came in. No oth­ er resident of Tiger Tail could ha>^ distracted tbemnto that de­ gree. Tiger Tall Is Tennessee ter­ ritory, yet abuts upon Kentucky. It is not. of course, down on any maps, not even the local ones. To be exact, its tnete.9 and bounds are known accurate­ ly only by outland folk, who, say those of Tiger Tail, live in such ill condi­ tioned regions as Possum hollow, Wildcat. Texas and the Cooney range. Still the Tiger Toilers do not quite deny that Tiger Tall exists. They are nebulous only as to Its whereabouts. “Howdy, squire? Want to play? Take my hand,” Jim Wilson, the store­ keeper, said, making as if to rise from the table. The other three players langbed uproariously. “He’s a beauty boy. that’s what Jimmy Is," one of them said. “He’s just nine under the table, squire. Of course he wants to be polite.” The squire laughed. “I'll play and pay if I lose ouL Jimmy," he said, 'but ef I beat them rascals over thar you must do me a little small favor." “Anything gay. squire," Jim ♦aid. handing over the card*. The squire chuckled, but masked it with a scowl as he answered: "Better not promise too brash, son. What I want is for you to thrash Tennessee. Think you can do it?" "Why. tiiat is sorter jubous.” Jim responded. The others let fall their cards, looking significantly one at the other. Tom Turner, the squire’s part­ ner In the game, whistled and said, still pursing bls lips: "So I suppose Tennessee’s mind is set on Milam’s gaL" The squire nodded. “And mine as set that he shan’t have her. I reckoned I’d find that gentleman here and come just a-purpose to give him the word with the bark on It" “I always said that boy’d give you trouble ever sence you went and give him tnat jograpby name,” an eddish man. who. bad just come in, said shrilly. The squire looked at him and chuckled again. “It had to be jography —or ’rithmetlc." be said. “Blame your skin. Bill Jordan, you know that . as well as me. Seben brothers of us. all In one poor neighborhood, and the last one of us too lazy to move out would put old man Solomon to bis trumps for names. I didn’t start as soon as the rest of you neither. Time i begun to raise a family you had dou­ bled and tribbled on all the *handy ’ Scripcher names." "Don't you reckon this is sorter a judgment on you, squire? Remember bow many runaway couples you’ve married”— another of the cinch play­ ers began. The squire silenced him with a look. “Do you think I'm goin to belittle my office by not dotn what I was Tected to do?” he asked severely. “1 have martied runaways—oh, yes. twenty-seben couple—but every last one of ’em come from Kentucky. Up thar they have to have written consents from the par­ ents before they can git a license. Is It my fault that I happen to live on the straight road from Kentucky to Bellsboro? Of course mine’s a bandy place to them young folks. All they got to do is to have the license waltin j always told you thar was sin in quarter racin. You and old man Milam quarreled over it 20 years back.” Wil­ liam Jordan said meditatively. The squire snorted a bit “He bet me $10 on that skewbald of his. and thenxclaimed he'd won because my saddle turned." tee said. “That shows thekplzen meanness of the breed.” “Well Betty can’t help that She’s good lookln and a mighty fine house, keeper," Jim Wilson said soothingly. “You couldn’t have n better, squire. I can't hardly blame Tennessee. A big house Is mighty lonesome with no wo­ man in 1L I’ll bet money you won’t blame him, neither, time she’s been thar a year." “I’ll bet the bouse and farm she don't ever come thar. not while my head Is boL” the squire roared. “I’ll take the bet She'll come and for your askln.” a voice said from the door. Tennessee stood there laugh­ ing heartily. He was a big fellow, as tall and well muscled. as his father was slight and withered, yet the pair were curiously alike. They“had the same obstinate chins, the same bright dark eyes, exactly the same level look. Tennessee made a dash at his father, caught him under the arms and drew him to his feet saying as the squire fumed and writhed in his bold: “Pa. you ain’t nigh as mad as you think. Anyway, le's stop quarrelin till after Christmas. It’s jest two weeks off. all merely as supplement to hot ayatere. roast turkey, roast pig. stssreree coffee and beaten biscuit. "Bay. squire, no wonder you aJo’t keen after a housekeeper.” Tom Tur­ ner said as he took bls third beta of roast pig. Jim Wilson at his elbow nudged him sharply, saying In a stage whisper. ‘Ain’t you got sense enough to know squire tihd Tennessee ain’t namln that subject no more until New.Year’s?’ “I oughter ’a’ knowvd. I never thought," Tom said. The squire had walked away with­ out answering. Jim looked after him ■nd said: “It's a plumb shame he won’t be ricenclled to Betty Milam, but worse I believe for him and Tennes­ see to git at cross and pile. They’re so mighty close to one ’uotber. them two. Whatever you sue or hear the cue you’re mighty apt to see and hear the other.” “Bound to 1>p that a-way. Tennes­ see’s all the child his pallia® got," Tom said., “But hark! What’s that? Some fellow must be shootin hU Christmas guns early.” “Them ain’t Christmas guns. They’re too close together,” the squire said, walking to a window, open in spite of the rain. “Besides, they ain’t comin right. They sound up towards Ken­ tucky.” “I bet it’s a runaway couple.” Jim Wilson cried, dashing out upon the piazza, with the crowd [pelhnoll at his heels. “I hear horses and wheels and folks hollerin!" he shouted back over his shoulder ns he darted down the steps. Tennessee was close behind him. so clow that the darkness swal­ lowed them at the same instant All the rest could hear now out upon th£ big road a confused and strengthening medley—shouts, cries, curses, gallop­ ing hoofs, whirring wheels sharply punctuated now and again by a drop­ ping shot. “Runaways! They’re comln In! Hear ’em! They’re through the gate! Here, squire! Get on the bottom step, with your lantern ready! You’ll have to do a quick job this time, sure!” Tom Tur­ ner cried, shouldering the people aside and setting the little squire In the forefront of them. He was scarcely steady upon his feet when a horseman upon a panting and foam covered beast dashed Into the clalr bbscure of the lantern light, crying out: "Fetch the squire! Quick! He kuows me—George Perdue! Here’s the license, squire. Fellow I know—stole his gal—old man’s right behind—got a Winchester and the sheriff. Tie ’em quick as you glancing glare. Steadying himself on Tom Turner’s shoulder, he said In bls loudest, most official voice to the pair hidden in the buggy's cavernous re­ cess: “Do you aal each of you solemnly agree and covenant before Almighty God and these witnesses to take and keep each other for better or for Worse?’ “We do,” came in smothered tones from the eloping pair. "Then, by virtue of the authority in me vested, I pronounce you man and wife!” the squire shouted, making^ dart at the buggy and Hinging back the robe. “Come In, come in. you young people,” be said. “Leave mo to talk to the old man.” “You’ll have to, pa. It’s you he’s mostly mad with,” Tennessee said. Springing out and handing down his bride, a tall, pretty girl, mud splashed, disheveled and smiling through her tears. The squire, after one long, gasping stare, was fully himself. “It Is my custom and privilege to—ahem!—kiss the bride In such cases,” he said, press­ ing his lipa to her forehead; then to his son. “Take her inside, young man, I don’t forget you won the farm in wlnnin her.” “No, you don’t take her inside,” some one cried from ten yards down the drive a second after. Old Man Milam had flung himself off his horse and was trying to lay hands upon his daughter. Squire Jordan stepped in front of the angry map. “I reckon our old grudge is settled for us. Henry." he said, hold­ ing out his hand. “Say, ain’t you ridln tonight some of that same old skewbald stock?" Old Man Milam nodded, He could not trust himself to speak. “And it was beat in this runaway _ race by my same Blackhawk blood. I oughter ’a’ known that was Ten­ nessee’s span.” the squile went on judicially; then, with a whimsical chuckle. "Henry, don’t It strike you we’ve been a couple of fools?’ “It does look sorter that way," Old Man Milam said, and then and there the pair shook bands, and a feud ended. “TO TAKE AND KEEP EACH OTHER FOB BET­ TER OR WORSE." I want a big party Christmas eve. You've always promised me I might have it when I come 21." “So I have, but you don’t deserve it. you young rascal,” the squire said. "Promise me what I ask. and you may have a party as long as Christmas, dance and frolic the whole week—yes, till old Christmas if you want to.” “You mean about marryin Betty?” Tennessee asked airily. “I’m just bound to do that Mane Squire, but 1’11 promise this—I won't never do it unless you are thar to see and willln it should be done.” “Hurrah! You’re givin yourself a long time to wait, sir,” the squire said eagerly, then beginning to cut a pigeon wing In his joy. "Now get about your party, sir. Well make It a rouser^the biggest thing that ever come off in {Ti­ ger Tail.” Notwithstanding Christmas eve tell rainy and dark as the proverbial stack of black cats, everybody came to Ten­ nessee’s party. The Jordan house was big and square, with tall outside chim­ neys and a makeshift gravel drive leading in semicircularly from the two gates upon the big road a hundred yards away. For the party both gates were set open. Everybody rode or drove, even the nearest neighbors. Peo­ ple began coming at dark and kept Atesk^wlU <Wr com that bright tonwrov »nl«d •» Hi, MrtS r coming until 9 o’clock. Even before supper playing began with, great spirit There was a room given up to it indeed, since not a few of the company had religious scruples against even a reel. By and by, when the tables were cleared, there would be dancing. . Tennessee was the life of every­ thing. -His father eyed him as he went about smiling, shaking bands, setting every one at lively ea«o. •eelng to ev­ erything and seeming to make friendly service a pleasure, with ever growing “I WANT A BIG PARTY CHRISTMAS EVE." for ’em. and they’re married bard and fast, as well as a preacher could do it, eri do say It myself, time they’ve been half an hour on Tennessee dirt.’’ "S’posin your Tennessee should run away”— the squire's brother began. "Wbere’d be run to?” the squire in­ terrupted pointedly. “I bear old man Milam’s about as shy as 1 am over the match. That’s one thing-makes me so mad. Thlnkin of that old kildee, mighty nigh as mean as a horse thief— be is darln to object to his gal’s ntarryin a Jordan." earn Thar ain’t a minute to lose. It’s all right, I tell you! Tbar they come— that couple in the buggy abendT The squire seemed to swell, to stand •n inch taller. He could bear above the labored panting of the two horses which drew the buggy the noise of oth«r horses coming as furiously, cries and curses, too, and the erack of a rifle, the sharp report heralded by a lurid pride. There were no hostesses. “We can’t ask one of our kin women to help without madding all the rest the squire had said to Tennessee. Still the supper was miraculous. Black Peggy rose to tbc opporlunlry of her Ufe. “Yon g'wan -way. Marae Squire. Leabe dis jere ter me and Tennessee." she had said. The result was a table shaped like the letter Z. draped In white.

HEY were tell­ ing one another Christmases, and the portly, prosperous bank­ er looked up ,with a preoccu­ pied air when some /one asked story. Christmas that I _ remember clear­ ly,” he said slowly, as if gathering his memories together, after lighting a big fat cigar, “was passed at the home of old Deacon Mallory. I was G or 7 years old, and by the same token it must have been 40 years or more ago. “You must know* that 1 was a coun­ try minister's son. My father’s charge included a wooden meeting house, built on the Greek temple pattern, and half a dozen little red schoolhouses perched on the steep hillsides and nes­ tling in the deep valleys of one of the most northeasterly counties of Penn­ sylvania. All through, that region the pater was known as ‘the elder,' and the deacons of the church organizations to which be ministered took turns enter­ taining the elder and bls family on Christmas. As a rule, our Christmas visits Included Christmas eve and two or three days thereafter, and so it was this time. "Deacon Mallory lived ten good miles away from the story and a half brown house that stood in the edge of a tre­ mendous big piece of pine and hem­ lock timber where we lived, and, there being two feet of snow on the ground, we had to cover the ten miles in a cut­ ter hauled by Cmokfoot, as my father called the ungainly looking young horse he drove In making his widely scattered pastoral calls. The day be­ fore Christmas was clear and sun­ shiny, but bitter cold, that year, and I shaH never forget the ride to the dea­ con's. “At first our road was on the lee aide of a great tree crowned ridge. Shelter­ ed. as we then were, from the biting w(nd, we scarcely realized how low the temperature was, and, the path being well packed, Crookfoot took us over the snow' at a lively clip, the bells jin­ gling merrily with every step. Here and there the road passed through deep cuts In the drifts between pure white frigid walls of snow, sometimes eight and ten feet high. These walls had been Inscribed with rnauy curious In­ scriptions and rude pictures, which In­ terested me very much as we drove along, though 1 had never heard a word of the newly named science of graffitology. “I was Intently studying some of the pictures and inscriptions w'hen my father told me to look ahead and then get ready for what 1 saw coming. As be spoke he pointed to the brow of the hill up which we were driving. There I saw the snow drifting In a fine, white, sandlike state. “ ‘The wind is blowing up there, sonny, snd it won’t be as pleasant when we get to the top as It is by any means. Wrap your comforter close about your ears, my boy, or they’ll be frozen sure.’ “By the time I was ready for the drifting snow we were In the midst of It. and for the next three-quarters of an hour we all, Including Crookfoot, had plenty to do to keep the breath of life agoing. The snow was drifting wildly, and of the track, so well beat­ en in the sheltered part of the road, not a vestige was to be seen. By the time we had got over the broad back of the hill and down Into the valley in which the deacon’s house was situated the human beings in the party were more than half frozen, while Crook­ foot was nearly exhausted. Once in the shelter again, however, we quickly. owned a rawmllPand "did a generate lumbering business—not oue of th® great steam mills, with circle sawn, off later years, but a primltiva mitt, wttW upright saws, operated with an oldj fashioned undershot water wheel > spent the afternoon In the mill watch­ Ing the logs as they were fed to the« rasping saw, which slowly, though steadily, ate Its way from end to endj producing a bright; fresh, new plank with every jkmrney of the carriage. “That night I slept with two of th® deacon’s boys and in a trundle bed foe the first and last time of my life. W® boys talked about what we should find in our stockings till lata in th® night “Examination of the stockings in th® morning, riding down bill and out oa the ice of the deacon’s frozen mill pond, snowballing and other incident® made Christmas morning pass fast enough, I assure you. And after that came the Christmas dinner! “All the deacon’s mill hand* and some of his neighbors partook of that dinner There were two big tables alto one little one. We boys and some Uttl® girls sat at the little one, and tber® were more folks at all three than X had ever before seen together any^ where except at meeting. “The main dish of that dinner wa® chicken. There were enough wish* bones for all the children to wish tv® or three times over, and the fan every­ body had was immeasurably satisfy­ ing, even, if the manners of every on® present were homely and the talk mor® hearty and wholesome than graceful and clever. “When- It came my turn to wish* Darwin Mallory, the deacon's 21-yearold son, told me what to wish—"That Sarah may say yes.’ he whispered 1® my efir. Sarah Wilson was the- pret­ tiest young woman in the room, and 1 liked her a lot. Later I told her what Darwin had whispered in my-ear. axad I couldn't understand why she flushed so vividly. But she seemed pleased because I gave her the long end of my, wishbone, for I had 'got my Wish? and one day in the following June 1 waa my father pronounced present when ' " Darwin and Sarah man and wife, Then I was told what my wish had meant “Bless me!” said the banker. “I*v let my cigar go out” " Osborn Spexcek.

Gov. Pingree Hiu Called One to Meet Monday. A special session of the state legislature was called yesterday by that “Prince of Blunderers.” the present Governor of o Michigan—-Hazen 8. Pingree—to meet next Monday. Some crazy idea has percolated through bis cranium, that be can push bls fads through tbe legislature right now. Un­ will doubtless be just the same as If no session had been called. It seems to ns more like a “grasping at straws;” an effort to stem an adverse tide, and again ride into popularity by Imposing upon the good nature of tbe people, who foot the bills. We sincerely hope and trust that the legislature will meet and ad­ journ at the earliest possible moment, and tflat nothing will be accomplished that will In any way tend to build up Pingree and Plngreelsm. The legislature will meet Monday. What sort of legislation can even be mapped out and put In shape by next Monday? No doubt it would, be as good as any that tbe Pingree administra­ tion ever prepared, but It Is useless to enact legislation that La plainly unconsti­ tutional, bnt Ping seems to have a fond­ ness for that kind.

"It is, true we are, for the most part, roving grasshoppers, and grasshoppers have not any more chance today than they bad In La Fontaine’s time.” The words were spoken with dis­ couragement, owing to the Immovabil­ ity of the cure. As he spoke the actor arose and brushed his bat with gloomy energy. “Well,” he sighed, “we alone shall pass a sad Christmas while all the world besides will be blithe and hap­ py. M. le Cure, pardon me for having taken up so much of your time.” He turned toward the door. The old priest aroused himself. ••Jeanne,” he called in a loud voico, full of the exultation of triumphant charity, "bring..me at once my new cas­ sock !” “Ah, M. le Cure!” exclaimed the actor, overcome by the unexpected success and pressing the priest's hands with ef­ fusion. As Jeanne entered with the cassock ujxju her anfi in great folds the priest rebuked her for loitering. “Now bring me my shoes with ths silver buckles. Kun quickly! Why, a snail would go as fast. Is It not so, M. Actor? And a hat also—you must have a hat.’* “What?” said Jeanne, shuddering. “Are you going to lend your clothes to the theater. M. le Cure—your new cas­ sock— you. who will hold mass at mid­ night*— "Truly. I do not ask so much.” pro­ tested Artemon, confused, while the cure laid the cassock on his arm. “An old cassock would serve my purpose. I beg that you will not deprive your­ self” "What are you thinking?" replied M. Lamier. “Beneath the robes my cas­ sock will not lie seen, while yours will be. so to say. under fire, and if tbe rents were viewed it would be a pity. The Abbe Constantin must not call forth ridicule.” “How can we ever prove our grati­ tude?” said the actor, his eyes actually filled with tears, and he reiterated hla thanks until he had crossed the thresh­ old of the door. "My dear fellow.” said the cure la a trembling voice, fearing to appear to place a price upon his kindness, “go as quickly ns possible, accomplish wbat you have to do and return when the performance is over to attend the midnight mass. The good God will thus be satisfied with you. and I also.” On this evening Artemon fairly vi­ brated with emotions, surpassing him­ self in his acting. When, before the gloriously Illumi­ nated altar, the good pastor extended his arms lovingly above the crowd kmeling before him. he trembled with joy te perceive, at the lower end of tbe lateral aisle, among the workmen and laborers, a group of men and women with weary faces and varied cos­ tumes, who bowed their heads re­ spectfully- under the benediction.

COOK BROS., PROPRIETORS. THE YULE LOG. In the Scandinavian feast of Juul, when they burned huge bonfires in honor of Thor, wc discover the origin of t&e Hfule log. Tbe descendants of the old Norsemen, who no doubt are responsible Tor the custom in England, carefully preserved half of the log with which to be burned at next Yuletide, and so we have the old English proverb, bnt in poetical form, by Herrick: Part muat be kept wherewith to tend The Chriatmu log next year, And where *Ua safely kept Um fiend Can do no mMchiei here. The Druidical contribution to the mod­ ern Christmas celebration originated ia the annual feast given in honor of the Druid god Tutanus, who corresponds to the Phoenician sun god Baal. His fa­ vorite among all trees and plants of the forest waa supposed to be the mistletoe. The number three was held in rever­ ence by these ancient people, and, be­ cause the leaves and berries of this par­ asite grew in clusters of three, this, in addition to the glory of being Tutanus* favorite, made the plant sacred, and an­ nually there waa a great festival given In its honor. In the choice and selection of the Yule log the ash tree plays a very important 4>art. In Scandinavian mythology it is "Odin's tree and was most noble, for its wood made the spear and the javelin, "the oar and the mast In their lan­ guage ash means man. and tbe legend runs that when the sons of Bor, who were sons of Odin, formed the first tpan •nd woman they were made out of a piece of ash. This man was named Asha. And at the present day in Devon-1 shire, as a relic of this pagan reverence for this tree, we find the Christmas fagot made of ash sticks, bound tightly to­ gether by green withes or bands of pol­ lard oak. As each withe bursts a quart of cider is passed around, and healths •are‘drunk, amid great glee and rejoicing.. The gypsies, too, and the wild hill peo­ ple iof Bavaria and Bohemia reverence the ash, although their legends attached to it are Christian in their origin.—Bos­ ton Herald. CHRISTMAS DAY.

Tbe glo­ rious Fourth stirs onr patriot­ ism. Easter brings the glad­ ness of opening spring and outd o o r freedom, but Christmas* tide, coming, as It does. In the winter season, Invites to indoor cheer and cosy hospitalities. Besides, It Is pre­ eminently the children’s celebration and tbelr glad vacation from the rou­ tine of school They Ray, with our Hoosier poet: Ust to almost cry Ser Chriatmaa, like a youncater It is also the tenderest, holiest holi­ day because of the religious observance of the birth of Him. who brought us the new teaching of pqace and good will to all'men. If the farm Is the ideal home, then we should' endeavor to observe this home festival In tbe ideal manner. Our great farmhouses must not be cheerless barracks. They must become the cen­ ters of old fashioned merriment, visit­ ing, feasting and hospitality. They must cling closely te the ancient tradi­ tions of the day and follow the same spirit of geniality, of present giving, minstrelsy, harmless revelry, and. above all, of kindly benevolence and thought of others. An ideal Christmas requires thought long beforehand unless the purse Is unlimited. Costly gifts are not neces­ sary for a joyous day, but loving kind­ ness must illuminate each little remem­ brance, or the candles on the tree will be but dim tapers. The glad day comes. The usual church or Sabbath school celebration has been enjoyed the evening before by all the children, but It is in tbe home festivities we are Interested. For an ideal day we shall have the wee ones trooping down In the early morning, waking every one with their “Merry Christmas!” to see what Santa has put in their stock­ ings. A mouth harp, a jackknife or a doll, some joke and a bit of candy they find and scamper back to bed happy as need be. After breakfast the good cheer of the morning is in the arrival of the married children or other rela­ tives and friends with the greetings and joy of reunion. Now the gifts are interchanged. Perhaps a real Christ­ mas tree, with Its queer fruit from all lands and Its gaudy trappings, glad­ dens the heart of all, but the chief glo­ ry of the day is the family dinner— "There is some disagreement as to the origin of Christmas day. The legend runs that in the earliest period of the Chris­ tian church some comm unities of Chris­ tians celebrated the festival of Christmas .-on Jan. 1, others observing it on the 6th of that month. In some of the eastern churches it was kept about the time of the Jewish Passover, near the end of March. There is also some evidence of its haring been observed ou Sept. 29, be­ ing tbe Feast of Tabernacles. In the year A. D. 325. when the Emperor Con­ stantine legally established Christianity In the Roman empire, Christmas was ob­ served at the beginning of the new year, while in the eastern church it was cele­ brated on Jan. 6. Pope Julius eventually effected a compromise, and the 25th day of December was established. These his­ torical statements have been called in question by some, but John Chrysostom, the eloquent preacher at Constantinople, In the fourth century confirms them. It-is a curious circumstance that aome When the fray haired father »ee» round his board difficulty has been found in accepting the The old. broken link* of affection restored: date of Dec. 25 a« the probable day on which Christ was born, because, the close of December being usually the height of the rainy season in Judaea, it is said that What moiatraa the lip and what brightena tbe eye. neither flocks nor shepherds could have What call* back the pail.

Of all seasons this is in Rome the gay­ est within the circle of domestic life, but the vigil, instead of the day Itself, may be said to be the great Occasion for fam­ ily reunions.

Sufficient evidence remains to show that the abbey was of vast proportions, occupying in all 60 acres of ground. It was founded by Saxon kings and farther endowed by the Normans and Plan­ tagenets. The grand chancel and its fine chapeto were built in the finest style of later Norman architecture, but now little more than cram bling walls and pillars testify to the once great beauty of the abbey. Tbe porch of St Joseph's chapel, how­ ever, is in a fair state of preservation. Oatside there grows the famous Glaston­ bury thorn that blossoms but for one day in the year, and that Christmas day. This tree has a strange history. • During his long journey from Palestine St Joseph of Arimatben visited the dis­ trict. he and his .12 companions having been sent by St Philip, the apostle, to convert the then-heathen nation of Brit­ ain and to cast oat the Druid supersti* tion. , . ’ St Joseph and his followers found their way to Glastonbury, then known as “Yhiswytryn.’’ They were ail a-weary, and. arriving on the summit of the hill, Joseph, who was using a hawthorn stick as a walking staff, stuck it into the ground, and it burst into bloom.

A strange superstition, which may owe something of its origin to the associa­ tions bound up witb the Biblical narra­ tive of the Nativity, obtains credence to this day among the peasants of Siberia. By them it is believed that a gift of human speech and superhuman prophecy descends upon the beasts of the stall and byrs during the mystic hour that heralds the Christmas dawn and that if one is bold enough to hide beneath the straw on such occasions he will hear hla fate for the coming year foretold by his do­ mestic animals. A betrayal of his pres­ ence, however, entails certain dectruc‘ tion.—Pall Mall Gaxette. For German stuffing take one-balf pound of fresh bread crumbs, one-half pound each of chopped apples, seeded raisins and blanched almonds, the goowe liver parboiled and chopped, one table­ spoonful of powdered sage, the rind of a lemon, two scant teaspoonfuls of salt and a teaspoonful of chopped onion.

YULETIDE GAMES. Eaclaad. Little known in this country, snap­ dragon is a diversion In which in Eng­ land young and old participate through­ out the Christmas season. Apparently It is a dangerous pastime. Really it Is harmless, and no one ever suffers an acclddot through playing It. Babies of 3 or 1 yearn engage in It with great glee, in which there is an admixture of fear, but nerve generally conquers, and once in the game they cannot be kept out of it. Tbe requisites of snapdragon are* one or two large platters such as roasts are - rved on. some large, fat raisins, .a little brandy or gin, a match and a darkened room, Tbe platters are ar­ ranged thus: If there is but one and the party Is of moderate number. It la laid in the center of a dining table. If the number of imrticipauts is large, then two platters are laid, one al each end of tbe table, or there may be two small tables; with a platter on each. Next; the raisins are laid over each platter, singly and at short distances apart A small quantity of brandy or rln is then poured over each platter and ignited. Put out all the lights Ln the room, leaving none but that from the dancing blue flames iu tbe platters. Everybody looks weird and feels un’anuy. and tbe fun begins. Each par­ ticipant "snaps” at a raisin on the dish, and, hit or miss, the blue flame clings to the finjrers lu writhing, forked tongues, thus providing the “dragon.” The raisins are all finally secured, tbe flames die out the lights are turned on, and the company Is ready for another diversion, unless, as is often the case, there la a call for a repetition of tbe fun just ended.—Ban Francisco Poat Magazine. Bear!** Home the Yale L**. In the Black mountains at the pres­ ent day the custom of bearing home the Yule log la still carefully observed lu all its ancient detail. The housefa­ ther fells the chosen trees. Then he utters a prayer and carefully lifts up bls log and bears it home on his shoul­ der. His sons follow his example, **ach bearing a log for himself. The fa­ ther then leans bis log up against the house, being very careful that the freshly cut end is uppermost. Tbe lesser log* of the other members sur­ round It, and this is tbe Glavnl Badnjak. As tbe housefather places each log be says. “Veseh badnjl dan!” or *A merry log day!” The fire thus kindled was not allow­ ed to go out until the following year or great evil would befall the house­ hold. Tbe fagots of tbe old fire lighted the new logs and then were carefully * xtlngulshed and stored away among the household treasures. In the high­ lands of Scotland to this day it is con­ sidered a great misfortune if the fire ia allowed to go out, and often one hears it said, "Yae Dae luck, ye've lect oot the fier.”—Boston Herald.

Some one has said that the time is not far away when “scallopers” and summer visitors will be the only residents of Nan­ tucket island. This opiniou savors of the pessimist and ought not to be toler­ ated. But if this prophecy should ever be­ come a fact it is not unlikely that the “acalloper” would stand higher in “the kingdom of heaven." This does not im­ ply that the summer visitor is not all right. Decidedly it would be hard to get along without him. Bnt give the man who knows life his choice, and it will.be the Nantucket fisherman every time.

Persia was digging clams along the flats. . They were clad in a manner that was hardly calculated to make an impression on each other, yet Tim wore a soft place ia his heart ever after, although that important organ was reputed to be a rather hard specimen of its kind. “Hello, friend!" Tim shouted. “Any teekr “Only a few." “Guess you’d do better if you was up Poverty point.” “It’s too fur for me.” “If you'd jest as sooa. I’d admire to take you up thar. 'Tainft outen my way a mite.

But the eye of a sailor will sweep in more in one Stance than a landlubber in a week. Persia Hayward was worthy of more attention than she received on this occawhich made it harder to bear.

It te an old baud engine and has had its noae put out of joint by the new 1 steamer which the town iu a fit of prodi­ gality purchased recently. Some people say it is more ornamental than useful, and it certainly does look pretty when it goes through the old lanes. No. 4 is still in commission, just the same, and, while it may be a little old fashioned, if there te ever a fire, which is rare, the combination of No. 4 and No. 4’s men is hard to beat. But there is a good deal more to No. 4 than that. It has risen to k point where it wields great social and political importance. Candidates for office like l to call No. 4*s men their friends. It is tar from being a Sunday school, and the common run of the clergy would probably not feel much at ease in the society of its members. But this story does not deal with No. 4’s affairs so much as with one of ito members. His companions noticed that Tim was unusually silent this evening. Billy Newcomb, who bad happened to be rabbit shooting upon Coatue when Tim had taken, on his cargo, had been keenly interested in the adventure. While others were seeking solicitously for the cause of Tim’s silence he was biding his time. All they had got out of Tim had expressed about as much as a crow’s croak, but Billy got a rise. “I’ll tell you what’s tbe matter with Tim. He’s in love.” “Never!” one declared. "Tim’s the last one'” "Well, I’ll bet you it te so, for I seen him with that Hayward girl, scallopin, today. So now!" "Now, I jest want to know,” said an­ other. “Well, well, if it’s so, I’m glad o’ IL It’s high time, Tim, an 1 wish you welt" Others wished Tim well, too, so thor­ oughly and unceasingly that he had no time to explain, if he had had words to explain himself, which may well be doubted. He returned home to his mother early that night, and the next thing he went to sea Perris instead of going to No. 4. He was received with a warmth that brought the blood to his face and kept it there for the rest of the evening. The conversation was mainly devoted to the past season and the prospects of the next and the probable market quo­ tations on scallops when Lent came. It was only when Tim started to go that he approached the subject of his vis­ it with a trepidation that was plainly vis­ ible to Penis, as it might have been to any one. "I wonder,” he began—that is, 1 was thinkin sorter^—that is, whether you'd ever danced. Don’t want to seem inquis­ itive, you know, only I kinder thought I’d like to know.” "Why, yes. Tim, I can dance, an I like to, what's more." "Well. I’m glad—that is, I might be if only"— Tim’s arms, in a series of ges­ tures not modeled after the Detearte sys­ tem. were vainly trying to help him ex­ press himself. “You see.” he continued, "wc No. 4 boys have a series o’ dances every winter—that is. assemblies, we call ’em—an I kinder thought you might sort­ er like to go?" When he bad at last sailed through his difficulties of speech, Tim was standing on one leg, and there was perspiration on his brow. “Why, yes: certainly I’d like to go. You’re real kind." Tim quickly turned, opened the kitchen door and departed without even saying good night. Tim was himself again when he went to No. 4 the next evening. He showed no resentment at the gibes which were aimed at him, and they finally ceased. He only said. “You jest wait till the dances be­ gin.” This they did. and there was not a sol­ emn face in the hall when he entered it the following week with Persia by tbe hand. It was a happy winter for Tim. almost the happiest he had ever known, and it was not until summer came that he found a fly in his ointment There had been no expressed understanding between the pair, but then understandings are not al­ ways put in words. It was only when Tim and Persia misunderstood each other that they approached the subject of their relations with each other. It happened when the summer season had begun. Tim had appeared in a new, trim surrey, and business was good, and the world looked sweet and lovely to him. But, however the extremely virtuous may feel about it, jealousy is no respecter of persons. When Tim passed the Sea View House, he always stretched his neck and looked for Penis. Penis gen­ erally saw him and waved and smiled. The city people smiled, too, and thought it was so pleasant to see a happy pair of loven, even in “humble life." But there were times when Penis did not see Tim. They were not many, to be sure, but enough to crush the life out of him. That Persia could ever be seen laughing and joking with a stranger and not see him when be passed killed his heart, summoned all the baseness in his soul to tbe surface and at last made him tbe sepulcher of a once happy na­ ture. It was all done in a minute. He did not often see Perate, but once in the mid­ dle of the summer he met her when his resentment was hot within him. 'ho profess to understand hu- make a hero. Perhaps, after all, it te only the lack of opportunity that keeps ail of us from being heroes. When that time comes, it te generally tbe hero himself that te most surprised. That is tbe way It was with Tim., Two days before Christmas, tbe following year, the weather vanes backed Into the southwest for a second time. There was not much wind stirring, but the most dangerous thing about the weather some­ time* ia its calm. The sea captains emer­ itus said it waa a “weather breeder," and The night before Christmas the south­ west wind had freshened up and at dawn had reached that point which en­ titled it to being called a “screamer.” From the south shore life saving sta­ tion the captain in charge watched the waves and the hungry shoals, stretch­ ing five miles toward the main, howling and lashing like hungry lions. At sun­ down there waa a deluge of cold rain, carried straight out, with a wind blow­ ing 00 miles an hour. The sand cut the oilskins of the surfmen Eke a knife, but they faced it and walked their beats, for they were heroes too. It was a little after 10 o’clock that night, when the Christmas trees in the churches had been unladen, that the home comers saw an ominous flash across the southern sky, and the trail of the rockets acted like a cry of fire on tbe men. The dull silence in the Nantucket lanes resounded with the frantic yell, “Wreck on the south shore!" Every ablebodied man was on foot in an instant. Tim Henderson and all of No. 4 were there, too, but not the old hand engine. It is not over three miles to the south shore from the village of Nantucket. When the men had reached the scene, the life savers had sent a line over the mast of the ^rigantine Henrietta Rog­ ers, less than half a mile away. But the vessel was acting ugly and was loath to stand still. She pounded on the shoal and tugged at the line over which ran the trolley of the breeches buoy. Three were already saved, but every moment it seemed as if the line would break. As the mountainous seas heaved and broke over the cliffs the line t and its burden were buried out of sight Then the line, released from its tension, snapped into the air like a lash, and yet somehow the breeches buoy held to its trolley, and its human freight staid, too, slowly feeling its way to the bank. The captain of the vessel was the last to come. The men had cheered them all as they were picked up, half drowned, and carried into the station by willing hands. It was ready to cheer ,now aa the last man was slowly coming shore- But the words died on their lips, un­ uttered. The line had caught! When re­ leased from the clutch of the waves, a dark object was tossed into the afr. Each moment it seemed as if the captain would be thrown into the sea. That moment would be his last, for nothing, not even a lifeboat, could live in that sea. It was not a time to stop and consider. The life saving captain was about to speak to bls men, to command them to go to almost certain death, when a form shot out of the darkness fend grabbed the life line. Tbe men on shore swore, not "softly," but above the roaring of the storm they were heard,, and It seemed as if they called him a fool. No one knew long enough, even if he could have been recognized. Each time the line flew into the air the men on shore held their breath. • Once man and line parted and disap­ peared. A low groan mingled with the storm. Then the line flew up again, and the man was again slowly creeping to­ ward the buoy. There was no timekeeper for that race with death. It seemed as if hours had passed when the buoy again yielded to the pull from the shore, and the two men were brought to safety. When they picked up Tim Henderson, already unconscious, they carried him to the station as tenderly aa a mother gath­ ers her child to her arms. They had for­ gotten to cheer nt first. That came later, when the waiting crowd saw the fisher­ man stepping forth into the open air. Tim walked back to town. He resent­ ed any demonstration. He went home. Persia Hayward waited all day for him, but she did not understand him yet. If she thought it was for her that he risked his life, ahe waa mistaken. She learned about that afterward. Christmas night the wind had changed to northeast, and the rain had turned in-, to sleet and snow. But the weather did not count with Persia She had the street to herself as she half walked and half blew down Newtown way. Later she had Tim to herself too. It has never been really known what happened, but it has leaked out that Tim Whether it" doubt at all that 3NMDg men thought she was, while older «sms said she was invariably cheerful and “•••d to pass tbe time o’ day with.” In ever ready with a sparkling retort, and her deft parrying with words jrould have made a mediaeval swordsman invulnera­ ble.

Be­ sides tbe representations, the ballet frequently acted some simple story. A favorite allegory represented Prome­ theus stealing the spark from heaven and making his escape, Vulcan and Venus forging the bolts of Jove, the fall of Phaeton, the love of Bemele and its fatal catastrophe, and Love and Beauty setting the universe on fire with their united power.

The boar’s head was carried in by the strongest of the guardsmen, singing a merry stave. The turkey as a Christmas dish was Introduced into England In the six­ teenth century and is therefore of less antiquity than the huge sirloin of beef or the mince pie. Mince pies were first shaped like a manger, as were the Yule cakes given out by the bakers to their customers. Mince pie waa also long ago accepted as typical of the riches and spices brought by the three wise men to the Child in the manger. The .plnm porridge later developed Into the plum pudding, which dates from 1G75. At the old Christmas feasts ‘peacocks and cranes formed tome of the dishes. Before being roast­ ed the peacock was carefully skinned, and after leaving the oven the bird was reclothed with its old plumage.— Boston Herald.

Then all of a sudden I heard a sound that made my heart jump with joy. I heard slelgbbella and then fa- ' ther'a voice shouting to tbe horse. "Father has come,” said 1. Samuel made one leap and was gone, . . rushing through the kitchen and out'*’-"; the back door. I ran and unbolted the south door, and there were father and mother, . come home sooner than I cxpeelMt. When 1 saw their faces, I just broke down and soblj^l and sobbed and told them all about ft in such queer snatch­ es that they thought at first I was oat of my mind. Father said afterward that he never heard such,a jumble of popcorn balls and secret drawers and Samuels. When father fairly under­ stood what had happened. He lighted the lantern and searched out tn the barn and the sheds to .be sure, that Samuel was not lurking^ about the premises, but be did not find him. Fa­ ther said he knew tbe man; that he belonged to a good family, but had been sort of shiftless and unlucky. When we were all settled down again for the night and I felt so safe and bappy< with father and mother at home, I could not help feeling troubled about poor Samuel out In the storm. I hoped he would not die of cold and be found dead when the snow melted in the spring. There was quite a severe snowstorm. That was the reason whyfather and mother had reached home so late. They had been obliged to drive slowly on account of the? gathering snow. We were just sitting down to ear Christmas dinner next day when we all stopped and listened. Then the sound came again, and we were sure that somebody was out In the storm, calling faintly for help. 1 . “It Is the man!" said mother. “Do go quick as you can." Mother bad been worrying about Samuel all day. She said she did not want him to perlah if he had tried to wrong us, and father had been ail around the farm looking for him. He thought, however, that be had gone down to the village tbe night before. j We opened tbe door, and we could! hear the calls fot help quite plainlyJ could hear his shouts and the faint* fries In response, aud then we saw fs-; ther coming back half carrying Samueb J.

"I only want to ask If your father left some money In the house when he went away.” said he, looking away from me ns if he were ashamed. ‘‘Yes, he did,” said I. I had to or tell a lie. “Well," said Samuel in n queer, shak­ ing voice, "I would like to borrow that money for a little while. I need some money right away, and at long as your father ain’t using It’’— “I would rather you waited and ask­ ed father,” I said. “I don’t think, fa­ ther would .like it if I lent his money.” “I will make It right with your fa­ ther.” said Samuel. “Did yoar father tell you where the money was?” "Yes. he did," I answered.

Dear Sir: Yours of the 2nd Inst, to the director of the experiment station has been re­ ferred to me. I enclose an extract from our last re­ port, which 1 think contains the desired Information. Wherever tbe pulp, fresh or siloed, has been rationally fed. the best results have followed Its use. One of the most practi­ cal experiments In this line was conducted at Alvarado, a few miles from here, where 140 cows were fed on a ration, a com­ ponent part of which was 56 pounds of sugar beet pulp silage; containing about 70 per cent water. Tbe experience of the owner of tbe dairy, who has been feeding pulp for years, was that If the material was fresh about 50 pounds was all that It was safe to teed dally. But when used as silage then as much as 60 to 70 pounds oould be given to cows. Some feeders concluded that If a little was good more was better, and overdid the matter. One man fed 125 pounds a day and then wondered why his animals became sick. The above figures are on tbe baste of Newland. Buffed. Dee. 18, 'W. N.

COOK ~BROS., PROPRIETORS. THE SHOT. eUHNER-S MATE PHILLIPS WAS IN CHARGE OF OLYMPIA'S TURRET. It la not very gentlemanly for a crowd of students to annoy and jostle persons older than themselves in a public conveyance, and none of us will pity the victims of the following inci­ dent related by a Chicago paper: Half a hundred atuacuis ui vne med­ ical department of the North weetern University had a jollification last night They took possession of an Alley "L" train at Twenty-second street and held high jinks al) the way into town. In their own words, they "played horse” with tbe other passen­ gers, and they thought themeelves very smart, indeed. I . But they were not quite so smart as they thought. There was an old man aboard—a nice -old man with a white mustache and a silk hat—who beat them at their own game. The students are not saying much about the attain now. The occurrence happened in the smoking car. As. the various stations were reached and passengers tried to get out of tbe car the students assist­ ed. “Pass him along!” was the cry, and the unfortunate passenger was lift­ ed bodily over tbe heads of the stu­ dents. tossed in the air. and finally thrown out upon the platform. The guards told the unruly students to cease their rough behavior or leave the train, but the admonitions fell on un­ fruitful ground. The fun grew more and more tgllarious until Adams street was reached. . At this point the old man with the white mustache got up to leave. He was in the extreme end of the car. away from the door. "Pass him along!” shouted the students "Help the old gentleman .out! ” They tossed him to the celling, they dropped him to the floor, they wedged him here andthere, they played horse with him. And after they had tossed him out at last they felt so hilarious that they smash­ ed each other's hat* with their canes. At eight o’clock last night a young man who said his name was F. Drake Whitford, student, came meekly into' the Central Police Station and report­ ed tbatman old man with a while mus­ tache and a silk hat had picked thet pocket* of four ot the students ou the train, securing four beautiful gold watches and a pocketbook or two.i "It will be u great favor.” he said, "if this little affair can be kept out of the pa- Belle Stuart has returaed to bar home Tbe U«n Was Mad* In Washi, Yankee Springs.

That is a tremendous charge to make •gainst Benjamin Harrison, who was little and fat. with the most innocent baby eyes, and the most kisaabU baby lipa, and the brightest, honestest smile that a person would care to see—a very for it had to do tremendous charge, ' with theft; the theft of a little china doll. Besyamin Harrison, whose other tonne was Moon, had no mother. He had come to the capital city to Uve with his ■ unt. Miss Mary Honor, who filled tbe position of jaaitress in a huge stone building. The little fat fellow had wound himself about bis aunt's heart, making life a sweet and delightful thing to Miss Honor. Benjamin Harrison Moon was quite an observant youngster. All the people In the house liked him; many of the people who passed along the streets paused to smile at Miss Honor’s charge and to pat his curly head. Benjamin Harrison Moon in return loved all the world, not excepting the tall young as­ sistant district attorney who went by the door every morning regularly at bine o’clock on his way to the court. The majority of the people in the house explained at length to small Benjamin Harrison that the assistant district at­ torney was a proud, bad man who sent poor people to jail without mercy. “Ah," said Mrs. Doolittle, shaking her Hat after the retreating form of the tall freatleman. and holding Banjamin Har­ rison securely between her knees, "but he do be thinkin’ how he'll turn them pore fellers in down to the police coort thia mornin'; he do be thinkiu’, widout, « breath o’ charity, of hia* fellow mor­ tals down in the police ooort; cattle they be to him. and he there to drive them straight into the jail or woorse.” “He dot a putty hat on iss head," re­ marked Benjamin Harrison. “Yes, but he’s got a bad heart liH^s ’bosom, darlint,” continued Mrs, Doo­ little. “You can see the bat, but you can’t see (he black heart, you pore lit­ tle soul.” , • As time went on. bad luck seemed to assail the house in which Benjamin Harrison was made so much of. One after another of the people was obliged “ to move to humbler quarters. Mrs. Doolittle remained, lame with the rheu­ matism and deep in arrears with her rent. Then Miss Mary Honor lost her position as janitreas. Mary Honor’s worldly troubles came upon her suddenly. The large building aras sold, and the new owner, who opened his offices on tbe ground floor, brought with him a janitor. Miss Honor's old employer left the city. She had held her }>osition for a long time; it had not been a very lucrative one, but ahe had always lived in comfoft, and ahe had felt of late that she could keep on faithfully at her work until tbe rcdlication of some uf those glorious dreams connected with Benjamin Harrison. She had never been regarded by her neighbors as close, but since the com­ ing of the b°.v ®he Lad been foolishlygenerous. Benjamin Harrison had en­ tered into her life and broadened it, and he wore a pretty coat, and his shoes had whining tips, and hk little first trousers were of the purest wool. Mary Honor was a timid woman. She went about in a deprecating way. trying to obtain work; and the rough­ er women pushed ahead of her and succeeded, while she failed. Benjamin Harrison howled over his impover­ ished breakfasts, and wailed wildly for the promised winter <-oat with '”ittlr pottets and a frizzly tollar." and that meager sum of money, put aside for a rainy day and dipped into frequently, dwindled very rapidly. Then the money waa gone, and Mary Honor, with her lips pressed tightly . ’together and a strained look in her •ryes, bought her bread and butter on •credit, and promised the grocer and 'landlord to pay them just ax soon :as rfie got a place. Benjamin Harrison grew accus­ tomed to the meager meals, and dis­ ported himself hilariously upon the streets in his shabby, poeketless coat. He was in a sweet aud winning mood, -and people patted him on the head '-and asked him over and over if he were glad that Christmas was coming. It was the spirit of Christinas tide that made Benjamin Harrison a thing of joy in his faded coal, into the sleeves of which tbe boy’s fat arms seemed to be melted. “Pore folks," Mid Miss Honor, bold­ - ing her nephew in her. lap. "they -can't have things at Christmas like folks that get plenty of work." - ;•** tan have tandy. la n't dey?" naked Benjamin Harrison. “I'm ’fenrd they can't, deary," said the aunt. “Dey Ian have Ittle jumpin' jacks, fan’t dey?" demanded Benjamin Har­ rison. ’“Not unless there’s work to be had," But tbe boy would not give up hope. often toM him tales of astoniehing thing* that happened to poor little a smile on his fat little fare. "Dear Load," murmured jsoor Mary Honor, “do let me find work." A week before Christmas Benjamin Harrison’* wants diminished like mm! tooting ears all vanished; he wanted but one gift, a little china Mid. putttar up M« kiawble »P«: “’.f. »n I .Mt. tor ’Iri-'mM. de. tion. After that she wandered about the city, wan and miserable looking, with her lipa tightly compressed; and after that she. wandered about in the stores. All her life she had been a good woman. She had had few tempta­ tions. She had worked along day after day and been content. Even now she was a good woman, as she wandered about the stores where the people were recklessly spending their dollars. Nor did temptation enter into her soul until she saw, thio ugh a sudden mist of rising tears, a coun­ ter containing nothing but china dolls, and there sounded iq her ears the sweetest voice in the world, say­ ing: “I des wants a ’ittle shiny doll." She turned resolutely away, and then she went back. It was done in a minute, the little china doll was un­ der hsr shabby shawl, clasped close in her trembling fingers, her face was a shade paler, and she was at the door of the store, telling herself fiercely that Benjamin Harrison should have his Christmas. Then a hand was on her arm and a voice said, calmly: “Just step back here a minute. If you please, madam," aud after that fol­ lowed the whole terrible disgrace, llie little china dollwas discovered without trouble on tbe part of the searcher, and in due time Mary Honor found herself among those miserable beings in the police court. She was conscious only of two things that day of her trial, she was arraigned, for theft, and the proud young assistant district attorney was there to help mete out punishment^to all evil doers, ac­ cording to the measure of the right­ eous law. /Then she became conscious of a terrible sorrow; not for the theft —that sorrow oorac to her later—she was sorry that she hadn’t succeeded in getting the little china, doll home to Benjamin Harrison. Christmas was over, and Benjamin Harrison had* had no Christmas. For herself she did not care; poverty and hunger and despair had made her callous. She listened me­ chanically to the words spoken in the court. . She had told her own tale simply, acknowledging her guilt. She was out of work, and she had taken the little china doll for her nephew. She hadanswered several questions. She had said “yes" to more than one question; yes, ahe was back in her rent; yes, she was living on credit. She bowed her head instead of saying she had been hungry. Did she honestly desire work? She had nodded her head then, she could not speak out strongly and clearly like those other women who had suc­ ceeded. She had always done her work well, but she was no hand at praising herself. She had said yes very dis­ tinctly. when naked if she had taken the doll, and she forgot w here she was aftss*«he had said it. and clas|»c<l her thin hands nervously, and said: “Yes" again in a whisper, hearing thc while, as. in a dream, Benjamin Harrison’s voice saying: “I das’ kvants a ’ittle bit o’ chiuy doll.” Mary {Honor. arraigned for theft. Rad smiled faintly, and the judge and the attorney marveled at thc sweetness of the fueled fare! and each cried in his heart that this w;X noplace for a good woman at lhe merk^Clyaftmas time. Then a strange tliin|g occurred. Thc assistant district attorney, who wqs on the side of the righteous law. was speaking out loudly and clearly. Through her tears. Mary Honor saw his bared curly head, and thought of that little yellow curly head at home; and, in a dim. unreasonable way, she put the two together, ns if some day the little Benjamin might grow into a man like this. tall, and prqud and beautiful. Yes, he was beautiful, let people say what they may. Ilia voice rang out like a silver bell in the cause of jus­ tice. She did not understand what he was talking about untikhe spoke her name. He said that this was the first time she had fallen; he said that she was hungry, but she had not taken bread: he said that be bad looked-into tbe case thoroughly, and that every word the prisoner bafl uttered was the truth, and that it was n crying shame upon the whole city that such a woman should be unable to obtain work. Then suddenly it was all over, and she was out in the streets, liberated*, free. She did not comprehend why she had not been punished, she only knew that she was walking away from the jxjlice court, and that beside her, looking down upon her with pitying eyes, was the young assistant district attorney. "A friend of .mine is in need of a Janitress," he said abruptly. “Mary Honor, would you like the place?" She did not even nod her head, she was thinking of home and of Benja­ min Harrison. She hurried in her walk. i r "You are in need of money," said the tall gentleman, very kindly. “I am going to insist upon lending you some." He opened his pocketbook sod handed her a note. She pushed the note sway with a quivering hand. “The boy," she falfal­ tered, “the little fellow, Benny, he didn't hare apy Christmas." The young man bit his lipn. cheerfully. “The boy’s all right. Tea, he did have his Christmas. There’s a friend of yours in tbe bouse, a Mrs. Doolittle. 1 saw that Benjamin Har­ rison had his Christmas through Mrs. Doolittle.” Then he added, with a gentle laugh: "The little fellow got his She Had been accused of theft, ahe .had acknowledged her guilt. It came upon her now and overpowered her, and ■he paused and swayed with a little moan, but tbe tall young man put his firm, kind hand upon her shoulder and held her up. “It is over," he said. “Your friends are not going to think hard of you. You have work promised- you. and you are on your way back to the boy.’* When they reached Mary Honor’s home, the assistant district attorney opened the door for her and followed her into the hall. Down the stairs at full tilt came the boy; he bad seen them on the street; his arms full of his Christmas bounty, he was in a whirl of i°y- . ] Mary Honor received the boy into her arms and sank upon the steps. She embraced him rapturously, she kissed him hungrily, then she raised her streaming eyes. "Oh, sir, I thank you. I thank you!" she cried. The assistant attorney smiled, raised his hat and stepped back into the street. “But he didn’t git out o’ there.’* said Mrs. Doolittle, who had been peeping over the banisters, "till, sure as you Jive, more persons than Mary Honor bad seen his heart."—Louise R.

There is rather a peculiar old man who owns houaea in various parts of the city and de­ votes his time to looking after the rents. He is not a sociable person­ age, but seems capable of furnish­ ing his own amusement and is not in­ frequently chuckling to himself when those about him can discover no cause of amusement, i Last Christmas he made the rounds of his tenants, giving to each some slight evidence of the fact that he appreciated tbeir patronage. At one place he volunteered to have a couple of rooms papered. At another he con­ ceded the desirability of having a veranda across the front and agreed to provide it. All along thc line he made those who rented of him feel glad that he had called, and it was evident from the contipuoux smile on his wrinkled face that he was. thor­ oughly enjoying himself because of the surprises and satisfaction that be was distributing. Finally he called at a shabby little house, occupied, by a widow and her three little children. She was having a bard struggle to keep even with the world, working long hours for small wages and sewing for the little ones at night.* She sighed as she saw the approach of the eccentric landlord, for her rent was in arrears. His keen gray eyes softened as he saw the pitiable attempt to observe Christ­ mas, but he is one of those men whom such sentiment urges to nctioh, rather thin speech. After he was seated the widow told 'him that she had concluded to bunt another house and that she would make every effort to p4y. him, a lit­ tle at a time and juat as fast ns she could. “I don't blame you much for want­ ing to leave here," said the old gen­ tleman. aa though taking himself to. task. “Tbe house is in pretty had shape and not very attractive as a home. But this is not a good time of year to make alterations. I dis­ like very much to have the place empty; unoccupied property runs down so. If this will be any induce­ ment for you to take care of the house, 1 shall feel greatly obliged," und he handed her a len-dollar bill, She tried to express her gratitude, but the grim landlord talked right. , along, directing her to keep things juat as snug as she could and treat­ ing her as he would uny other em­ ploye. He told her to have windows repaired where broken and to send the bill to him. “I’ll just make a memorandum of what’s to be done in the spring," as he took a card from his pocket. Then he blustered out and chuckled for the next half hour. The “memorandum" proved to be a re­ ceipt for rent to the following Christ­ mas, and a written assurance that the landlord would call again on that date. In the mind of the old gentleman this was one of tbe best practical jokes he ever perpetrated and there is a much merrier Christmas scene await­ ing him when he makes the promised call this year.—Detroit Free Press. “What are you going to buy for your wifeV\Christmas present?" said Hun­ gerford to TilHnghast. *1 bave decided to make a sort of in­ vestment for her this year.** “I intend to get her a bicycle and an accident policy."—Judge.

But when next day Uncle Ben’s wellknown horse and cutter stopped at every gate in the Promised Land and pretty, stylish Joyce <Jame up the path to the front door, followed a moment ' later by Uncle Ben. who never missed the chance of a neighborly visit, there seemed to come all at once into those 1 quiet lives a new somethingxof delight and interest which had not been there before. And when Joyce in her own pleasant way had given her Invitation “to come up to Aunt Isabel’s to-morrow evening at seven o’clock,” they all thought it was lovely and promised to go, but not one of them even suspected a Christmas tree. And it was not only the jJ>ung people who were asked to come. Not one was alighted. Every /family wax invited, from grandma down to the long-dressed baby. Aunt Isa­ bel had said: “Ask ’em all. my dear, the house is big enough to hold’ ’em. I guess, and anyhow it’ll do us good to crowd up and be neighborly.” For the trnQi was that the wide'y-scattered families were not at all noted for their “neighborliness.” All had grown into a stay-at-home habit, or when they went at all it was generally to the viilage.

Very early iu the morning he aud.Joyce had driven off up into the hemlock woods and brought home in triumph a beau­ tiful tree, tall, shapely and stout of branch. An\i it was Uncle Ben who set it firmly in a block of wood and bore it into tbe big front room. And it was Belinda, the “help." who popped great panfuls of sn0wy corn, and Aunt Isabel who sat in her red-covered rock­ ing-chair and strung it into long fes­ toons for the tree. And it wns Joyce who filled the generous bag*- of Incenet slie had made at home with candy, raisins and cracked nuts. And it wns Joyce who twined long, spicy-smelling ropes of hemlock to swing from tbe ceiling and around the walls. Belinda and Aunt Isabel retired the kitchen, while Joyce was busy with Uncle Ben in the front room, and pres­ ently Belinda’s cake-making skill was announced by delicious smells from the big oven, and Aunt Isabel sliced the pink ham and sandwiched it in between the daintily-thin buttered bread. “We’ll have tea and coffee both, Be­ linda,” aaid Aunt Isabel, “and pass tbe things around.” And Belinda, smiling broadlv in pleased anticipation of the unusual thing which was about tohappen.deftly spread ^he snow-white frost­ ing over the big fruit cake she had al­ wax Belinda,* and if the guests were one-half ns happy us Joyce they were happy, indeed. When it was all over and all the guests had departed for their respec­ tive homes in the Promised Land, Uncle Ben drew Joyce down upon his knee. “Little girl,” he said, “you done well— you done nobly! The true Christmas spirit is iu jour heart, ‘peace and good will.’ ” And Aunt Isabel smiled across at her.

It is stated by attorneys that the rea­ son why persons who have been iudieted by the grand jury have not been required to testify is purely a legal one. It baa been held in some cases that an indictment found upon the testimony of the person indicted Is invalid, aud the authorities desired to avoid, if pos­ sible, any question as to the legality of indictments.

Bn the early days, before Fayette coumty was as thlck'.y populated as it now Is and when there we. e vast tracts of unsettled lands. Mr. Thomas Hall, who came originally from Virginia nnd lived several mllee from the present site of Somerville, kept a .kind of ho­ tel at which all travelers passing that way usually stopped. Just below Mr. Mali’s house there was a large creek. By the side of this creek one morning while on his way «o Somerville, Mr. Hall saw a riderless horse. Seated by a tree, with a bottle in bis hand and hta a.m raised in the act of carrying the contents to his mouth was a man. Mr. Hall rode up to tbe man, dismounted.' and. to . his surprise found him to be dead. Hid saddle-bags were examined and found to contain $25,000, but no name, direc­ tion or anything that pointed in any way to the Identity of the dead man. An Inquest was he’.d. the .verdict of the jurors being that tbe deceased came to his death from natural causes. The remains were then ! interred at Somerville. The money'* was turned over to the county trustees, who im­ mediately put it out at interest. Almost twenty-one years passed bl­ and the incident had been all but for­ gotten, when there came 10 the hotel kept by Mr. Hall a man about 27 years of age. Mr. Hall asked him to register, remarking at the same time:' “Regist­ ering might help to trace you in case you Should get lost" and then told the young man of the stranger who had perished beside the creek. The young man became very much interested in the story. He had been looking for years for traces of his lost father. He had only one child, his mother had told him that his fath­ er carried 125.000 in gold. When Mr. Hall stated that that wrs tbe exact amount of money the stranger earned the young man was certain that he had at last found tracer of hl#'dead father. AH the papers bearing on the case, the description of the man filed away and the verdict of the jury were close­ ly examined, and though there was some. delay the identity of < the dead man was estonlisht l. Further in­ vestigation proved also the yuipg man's identity and truthfulness of his statements, and when the trustees were fully satisfied of the identity of both the money was all called in. and thw principal, which had increased to fW,000, was made over to nim tn full. Begins m the growing. Anywhere between the plantation and the coffee pot the flavor may be changed, the quality spoiled by care­ lessness, inexperience, or unscrupulous methods. From the time Arbuckles’ Coffee leaves the hands of the grower until it reaches the user in a sealed packet, it is handled with the same watchful care, the same thought for cleanliness, that you would give any article of food that goes on your table. The house of Arbuckle is the largest and oldest coffee house in the world. Its employees have grown up caring for this great business; the business has grown great under the care of its employees. As a result of this personal care, ARBUCKLES’ is used every day in more than a million American homes. Its reliability is recognized ; its quality is appreciated; its flavor is enjoyed; its price is a revelation. universe. The peninsula is. known as “The Mountain of the Monks," from the fact that a score or so of monaster­ ies are dotted about the rough hill­ sides or the valleys, in these es­ tablishments dwe’l a numerous body, ot ascetics, kind and hospitable to wan­ derers. but full of superstition, and be­ lieving in the doctrine of separation to a wonderful degree. The actual town, as distinct from its monastic environs, is called Cn^yr-s. and supplier the simple wants of the monks. Here are to be found streets of shops, crowded bazaars, flourishing trades and ail the bustle add .energy .of a modern town. But one thing soon strikes, the visitor as strange. Tiicro is not a female to be seen anywhere, for the gentler sex is rigorously ban­ ished from the place. Even the small turkteh garrison, from the ‘XMOumndant down to the privates, consists 'ot bachelors. The Eleventh Cavalry Is now a fact and no longer a subject ot fiction. Many a writer of novels, knowing thav there were but ten regiments of caval­ ry in the United States, bae used the term “Eleventh Cavalry” when de­ scribing some command, in order to make his story iappear more realistic, and at the same time not get caught In describing troops actually in exist­ ence. More than that, it has been the custom of army officers, when referring to tbe many "Colonels," ‘'Majors,” "Captains." and other officers whose titles are generally self-made and self­ adopted, to say that they are officers of the “Eleventh Cavalry," an officer and a troop of the ^Eleventh Cavalry” have always been regarded as myths and the titles to such have been placed In question. It Js not believed that the Eleventh Cavalry, of which Col. Luckett ie commander, in the Philip­ pines, will be any myth, and that it will render good service to the Govern­ ment. Although it ia a volunteer or­ ganisation, its number begins immedi­ ately after the regulars, which is the. same rule adopted in numbering the volunteer infantry regiments. Teaching Teaching boyr and girls how to „ swim is the newest subject to be tak­ en up in our grammar schools. The matter was flrat suggested by a philan­ thropic society of New York City, who will endeavor to have the subject adopted. 0 0 Roasted Coffee Athoa, a town on a promontory on the coast of Macedonia, deserve.! thc title of the most curious-town In |the This extraordinary law is carried out even among the domestic anima’s. Only the wild birde evade it. and then only the free, for no female bide! is ever brought to table: the fowl one has for dinner Is sure to be a cockrel. In one of the chief monasteries on the promontory there Is a ralraeuloiie icon, which is a picture or 'mage sac­ red to members of the Russo-Greek church This particular picture . is a representation of the Virgin, and the. legend say that one day ok ‘.he Em­ press Pulcheria, who had liberally en­ dowed tbe churck, as well as beautified and restored It, was engaged In her de­ votions. the Virgin spoke, asking what she. a woman, was doing in the church. The pious lady, no doubt amazed, did not reply, whereupon tbe voice com­ manded her to leave, saying that the feet of a woman should never again tread the floor. The Empress probably eurpriBed at the seeming Ingratitude of tbe speech, as well as awestruck, left the place, which no female has ever since entered. How the prohibition thus arbitrarily established came to comprehend the length and breadth of promontory Is not clear. .'3 Ask the grocer for Arbuckles’ Roasted Coffee, and be sure you get the genuine.

Mr. Payaon would have been utterly miserable had it not been for the fact that he found a selfish joy rn knowing that the Christmas season brought neither peace nor good will. He had reached that stage of soul distemper at which there ean be no happiness except by the discovery of misery in others. Mr. Sidney Payson wa* the kind of man who loved to tell invalids that they were not looking as well as usual, and who frightened young husbands by predicting that they would regret having married. He made it a rule never to put the seal of approval on any human undertaking, and it was a matter of pride with him that he could find a sinister motive for every act which other people applauded. He dealt in sarcasm, wa* perpetually bored and might have lost al) interest in life had it not been that he found a contin­ ued satisfaction in making himself feared and hated. Sortie of his pious friends used to say that Satan had got the upper hand with him, but there were others who intimated that it might be bile. Imagine the surly wrath and the sense of humiliation with which Mr. Sidney Payson set about his Christinas shopping! In the first place, to go shopping for Christmas presents was the most conventional thing that any­ one could do, and Mr. Payson hated conventionalities. For another thing, the giving of a Christmas present car­ ried with it some evidence of affection, and Mr. Payson regarded any sign of affection as one of the crude symptoms of barbarous taste nnd deficient educa­ tion. If he could have assembled his rela­ tives at a Christmu* ggthefing and 1 opened a few* old family wounds, re­ minding his brother and his two sisiers of some of their youthful follies, thus shaming them before the children, Mr. Sidney Payson might have managed log.

A Strong Statement Regarding the Wonderful Merit of Dr. Chase’s Ointment AS AN ABSOLUTE CURB FOR ITCHING PILES. Dr. Chase's Ointment is an absolute cure for piles, and has never been known to fail to cure the worst forms of this torturing disease, which has baffled medical skill for agea. This statement may sound rather strong to persons who do not know the superior merits of Dr. Chase’s Oint­ ment, but it is perfectly true, and en­ dorsed by the grateful testimony of thousands of men and women who have been cured by it after years of suffering and after trying many preparations and consulting tbe best doctors in vain. An honest druggist will always recom­ mend Dr. A. W. Chase’s Ointment as the best remedy for piles. He knows that the most skillful physicians endorse it, and knows from what his customers tell him that it is the only preparation which is a positive and absolute cure for this horrible disease. Many remedies afford temporary re­ lief, aud arouse false hope, but never ^nite cure. Sometimes a surgical operation will cure, but that is tbe old way—the cruel, expensive, dangerous' ■way. Dr. Chase’s Ointment cures by its magical soothing and healing influ­ ence. It is the only certain and guar­ anteed cure. 50 cents a box, at all dealers, or Dr. A. W.

We believe that the present legislature would pass any kind of a tax measure tbat they thought was right, even though it was Pingree measure, despite the open insults heaped upon It by tbe governor. On the other band they could -not be censured too severely for enacting into law any of Pingree’s whims, by means of which any such official as he, should we ever be burdened with another, (from . which we trust tbe Lord will deliver ns) . could vent his spleen upon such corpora­ tions as be may dislike. Corportlons have their rights tbe same as anyone else. They should be made ta bear tbelr Just burden of taxation, but tbe rate should not be left to tbe caprice of any individual. There Is no question but what the call­ ing of the special session by Gov. Pingree was not in good faith: that he did not bave in mind legislation tbat would tend to the benefit of tbe people. It Is said to be a fact tbat tbe session was called to im ■ peach Judge Person, of Lansing, who called the grand Jury; and impeaching him would practically put an end to tbe dta"closures now being made. Though Pin:gvoe*s bowls bave been for equal taxation, •not < single thing has ever been accom’Pllsbed by him or bis administration to । promote it The constitution provides that taxes Snail be uniform. Tbe Wayne Joint Reso­ lution introduced by the Pingree push pro­ vides that taxes shall be uniform, and that such corporations as pay specific taxes may be classified. This is plainly a contradic­ tion and tbe Pingree push, by tbelr reso­ lution, atate that taxes shall be uniform, and in another section state tbat they is ball «st be uniform when It cornea to cor­ porations. We are In favor of all corporations pay­ ing their just share of taxation, but we heartily endorse tbe position taken by Sen­ ator Potter, who objected to tbe Wayne geeoletten, as introduced, because it would T>lsce It io tbe bands of snob a man as we ■have now in tbe governor’s chair, tbe .power to make a few corporations be may Wve it “in for” pay all of tbe state taxes.

A cordial Wvllatioa to alL It seems that in the lecture room one day the doctor was much annoyed by the inattention ________ __________ _ of the students “Gentlemen,” he said, with emphasis, “a physician's first duty is accurate observation and rigid attention. You are neither looking at what I am doing nor hearing what I am saying. 1 shall dismiss the class now, but hereafter, remember. I shall exact the closest attention." The next day tbe doctor came into’ the lecture room with a bottle contain­ ing a very dirty-looking liquid. "Gentlemen," he said, “I hold In my hand a bottle of jalapi Of course, you are aware that as physicians we have very many disagreeable duties to perform. We must, for instance, test such messes as this in order that we may accurately know their taste. It is a somewhat nauseous operation, but a necessary one. Observe. 1 first place my finger in tbe bottle and then in my mouth." The class was visibly disgusted, but the lecturer had placet^ It on Jbe ground of a physician’s duty. So. with many grimaces, they all dipped a fln~ ger in the bottle and then placed the same linger oh their tongue. When the bottle came back to the doc-tor he chuckled audibly. "Gentlemen.” be said, "had you rcmembered my remarks at the last lectuie about accurate observation, you would have saved yourself a very dis­ agreeable experiment. An accurate observer could nor have failed to 110tice that I put my forefinger into the bottle and my middle finger in my mouth." A Testimonial for Veracity. Pearson’s Weekly tells this story: -It’s a.mighty folne thing to have a character for truthfulness," remarked O’Grady when he returned home the other evening. "Indade an’ it to that same," agreed Mrs. O’Grady, with an approving nod as she hauled ono child out of the fen­ der and scraped the cinders off his frock. “An’ what makes ye say that, Phellm ?’’ •‘ ’Cause me master belaves in me veracity intoirely.” was the response of Phellm. He lighted his short pipe and took his accustomed seat on a, broken chair near the chimney. "I tonld him this morning that I couldn't help being late, an* that I had hun a moUe tn a minute an* a half to get there in toime. An' what do you think he said?" "Mpbbe that ye desarved another sixpence a week,” “Better than that These are hla very words: ‘O’Grady,’ sex he, ‘01 wud just as soon belave ye if ye sed ye had done it in half a minute.* So ye see what faith he has in me veracity Intolrely.” They were dancing. The music was heavenly. Tha awish of her silken skirt* was delightful. The fragrance of the roses upon her bosom was al­ most intoxicating. "Ah.” ehe said, looking up into his face and smiling aweetly. “you remind me of one of Whitman’* poems." A sudden dixxiness seemed to seiw him; It was as If he were floating, along in a dream. When he could catch his breath to speak, be asked: “Which one?” “Oh. any one." ahe replied. "The feet are all mixed up In all of them.”—Chicago Times-Herald.

Basnik, ' "The Department of Justice runs one of the biggest stationery concerns in the country," said a clerk of tbat de­ partment "We have to do that to sup­ ply the various officials of the depart­ ment throughout tbe country. ‘‘Not many years ago our stationery bureau was used solely for the benefit of this immediate department. Judges, clerks.of courts, marshals and other officials throughout the country pur­ chased their supplies from stores in their cities and towns and sent us the accounts to pay. By this method we paid the retail price for everything. "We found this would not do. as the highest prices were paid for every­ thing. Under our present system every official of the Government coming un­ der our department makes requisition on us for supplies, and we send them at little cost, most of the time by mall. Aa we buy everything at cost prices we save to the Government thousands of dpllars each year over the old meth­ od of doing business. s*We carry a stock worth at least >6,00C at all times, and all the judges, marshals, clerks and others send to us for their pencils and writing paper. It’s funny, too, what strange fancies some of them bave. For instance, there Is a certain Western judge who won’t have anything but a red pencil ■which Is peeled off when it is sharp* ened. We carry this pencil In stock for no other person, as not many other have ever taken a fancy to it. I sup­ pose he loses or misplaces all the oth­ er kind of pencils but finds this one of his liking because he can easily see it. “Right here in the District of Colum­ bia is a judge who listens to arguments with six pencils In his hands. He rolls these between his fingers while he is busy, aud never has less than half a dozen. He Is not particular abouj|the kind of pencil he has. "Other officials have peculiar Ideas about the kinds of paper, pens and Ink they want, and they will have no oth­ er.

The ring, however, was no myth, for one of the deadly ornamente has been discovered and its mechanism examined. The ring is a large and heavy cameo, beautifully carved with the figure of a cupid. The heavy set­ ting looks as if it was solid, but ft is not. There is a cavity beneath the stone. In which was placed the deadly poison intended to be used upon any­ one whom the owner of the ring oh*, jected to. \ Just by the eide of the eamebjs a small and almost invisible spike, fine as the smallest needle, and yet hollow throughout Its length. By a spring in the setting this little spike could, be protruded at will. In doing so a drop of poison hidden beneath the stone would be ejected from the point of tbe needle. When Lucrexia Borgia, or any one else who possessed the ring, desired to use it. all tbat had to be done was to cause the spike to protrude and then shake hands with tbe objectionable person. There would be inflicted upon such a one a, tiny prick which might be hardly perceived at the time. The puncture meant death however. Modern, toxicology knows of many­ powerful poisons, but- not even the science of to-day has been ^ble to du­ plicate the poison with which tbe ring was charged, it is said of it that the person wounded by the ring perceived nothing wrong for twelve hours, at expiration of which time he died sud­ denly. The deadly properties of the poison took nearly a day to kill, re­ maining latent meanwhile. Whether this attribute of the poison Is a myth or not is not known. ► back from the bottom ot Lake?" said an old resi­ Lake Odessa, to at borne, dent of this town., who was talking Mbs Maggie Wilcox of Battle Creek to with a New York visitor.

That makes me think of a story Bishop Huntington told on himself during one of his last visits to Wash­ ington. The good Bishop, it seems, once went down to a town in Connecti­ cut to perform a marriage ceremony. He arrived the day before the wedding, and he left at the same time the bridal pair did, although he was driven to a different railway station. As he passed through the station, carrying his traveling bag, he was aware that he was creating a sensation, but was to­ tally at a loss to account for IL In the car be found that be was still tbe ob­ ject of amused attention. The porter positively snickered as he passed his seat, and finally as the train drew out he came up and assisted the church­ man to remove hie overcoat. ’ “What is the matter with you, my man?” asked the Bishop. The porter’s snicker broadened Into a laugh. ‘‘Ain’t you done left the lady, sab?*’ he chuckled. ‘ “Eh?" exclaimed the Bishop in sur­ prise. Then his eye fell .on tbe side of his traveling bag, which the porter had just turned round. There glued to it was a wide strip of white satin ribbon, on which was painted in large letters; “Married this mornin." The facetiously minded best man bad mistaken the Bishop’s traveling bag for that of tbe bridegroom, end a chuckling black porter worked lite in­ to the night removing that ribbon.

O Q O Vi Vi Vi There are dozens of remedies recommended for Scrofula, some of them no doubt being able t» afford temporary relief, but S. 8. 8. the only remedy, which complete) it. Scrofula is one ofthe most obatinate,y blood diseases, and is beyond the reach of the many so-called purifiers il.k! tonics because ioqbthing more than a mere tonic is required. 8.8.8. is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cure Scrofula, because ii goes down to the seat of the diaeaae, thus permanently eliminating every trace of the taint ' . The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital importance of wasting no time upon treatment which can not possibly effect a cure. In many cares where the wrong xMK treatment has been Velied upon, complicated glandular W swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that a dangerous surgical operation is jtecessary. F* Mr. H.E. Thompson, of Milledgeville, Ga., writes: “A bad case of Scrofula broke out.on the glands of my neck, which had to be lanced and caused me much suffering. I was treated for a long while, but tbe physicians were unjMfcyaFllr able to cure me, and my condition was as bad as when I V’/j began their treatment. Many blood remedies ware used, but without effect. Some one recommended 8. 8/8., and yj f/J V* I began to improve as soon as I had taken a few bottles. * Continuing the remedy, I was soon cured permanently, and have never had a sign of the disease to return.” Swift’s Specific— Ia Iv flfilv Ulv UIHj Remedy Equal to this Obstinate Disease. _ _ _ _ _ S. 8. S. FOR THE BLOOD —is the only remedy which can promptly reach and cure obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases. By relyingupon it, and not experimenting with the variqua so-called tonics, etc., all sufferers from blood troubles can bu promptly cured, instead of enduring years of suffering which gradually but surely underminesthe constitution.^. 8.

Oerrlwn, from a similar perch, a tier or two higher. “Here are men enough to move mountains. All we have to do is to ut the word.” “Ah, but it isn’t-” replied the other, gazing wistfully about over the throng of faces, as though in search of some one sufficient in rank and authority to serve her purpose. “We plead in vain with the officer-of-the-guerd. He say* his orders are imperative—to allow no one to intrude on that space." and madam looked as though ahe would rather look anywhere than at the ani­ mated sprite above her. “What nonsense!” shrilled Mra. Gar­ rison. "Here, Cherry,” she called to a pretty girl, standing near the base of the pile, "give me my bag. I’m army woman enough to know tbat order re­ ferred only to the street crowd that sometimes works in on the pier and steals.” The bag was duly passed up to her. She cast one swift glance over the heads of the crowd to where a hand­ some carriage was slowly working.its way among the groups of prettilvdressed women and children—friends and relatives of members of the depart­ ing commands, in whose behalf, as though by special dispensation, tbe or­ der excluding all but soldiers and the Red Cross hud been modified. Already the lovely dark-eyed girl on the near ride had waved . her hand in greeting, responding to Mra. Garrison’s en­ thusiastic Mgifal*. but her companion, equally lovely! though of far different^ type, seemed preoccupied, perhaps un­ willing to.see. fur her large, dark, thoughtful eyes were engaged with some object on the opposite side—not even with: the distinguished looking soldier who sat facing her and talking quietly at the moment with Mr. Prime. -There was a gleam of triumph in Mrs. Garrison’s dancing eyes as she took out a flat notebook and pencil and dashed off a few lines in bold and vigorous strokes. Tearing out fhe page, she rap­ idly read it over, folded it and glanced imperiously about her. A cavalry ser­ geant, one of the home troop destined to remain at the Presidio, was leaning over the edge of the pier, hanging on to an iron ring and shouting~som,e part­ ing wools to comrades on* the up0cr deck, but her shrill soprano cut through the dull roar uf deep, niasculine voices and the tramp of feel on resounding woodwork. "Sergeant!” she cried, with quick de­ cision. "'fake this over 1o the officer in command of that guard. Then bring across the pier." The cavalryman glanced at the saucy little woman iu the stunning costume, "took in” the gold crossed sabrrs, topped by a regi­ mental number in brilliants that ■pinned her martini collar at the round, white throat, noted the ribbon and pin, and badge of the Red Cross, and the symbol of the Eighth corps in red enamel and gold upon the .breast of her jacket, and above all the ring of ac­ customed authority in her tone, and never hesitated a second. Springing to the pile of boxes he grasped the pa­ per, respectfully raised hia cap and bored his stalwart way across the pier. In three minutes he was back—half a dozen soldiers at his heels. "Where’ll you have ’em. ma'ammiss?” he asked, as tbe men grasped the supports and raised’the nearmost table. "Straight across and well tfrer to the edge," she answered, in the same crisp tones of command. Then, with total and instant change of manner, "I sup­ pose your tables should go first. Madam President." she smilingly said. “It shall be as you wish about the others.” And the Red Cross was vanquished. "I declare," said an energetic official, a moment later, leaning back on her throne of lemon boxes and fanning her­ self vigorously. “for a whole hour I’ve been trying to mote that officers heart and convince him the order didn’t apply to us. Now how did—she —do -it?”. "The officer must be some old—some personal friend.” hazarded the secre­ tary. with a quick feminine compre­ hensive glance at the little lady now being lifted up to shake hands with the carriage folk, after being loaded with compliments and congratulations by the ladies of the two favored tables. "Not at all," was the prompt reply. "He is a volunteer officer she never set eyes on before to-day. 1 would like to know what was on that paper.” But now the roar of cheering and the blare of martial music had reached the very gateway. The broad portals were thrown open and iu blue and brown, crushed and squeezed by the attend­ ant throng, the head of the column of infantry came striding on to the pier. The bund, wheeling to one side, stood at the entrance, playing them in, the rafters ringing to the stirring strains ot "The Liberty Beil." They were still far down the long pier, the slop­ ing rifles just visible, dancing over the heads of the crowd.

Burton &amp; Co. were listed as the proprietors of the "Republican Banner", which first appeared here on May 1, 1856, with Dr. C. S. Burton as the publisher and Norman Bailey as editor.<br /><br />Publication office was on the second floor of the Rower Block, whose address was given as "corner of State and Church"; which corner was not specified.<br /><br />The objective of this publication was to win support for the newly created Republican party and thus counteract the influence of the Barry County Pioneer, a Democratic journal that had been published here since 1851. No copies of the first three issues of The Banner were saved.<br /><br />Make-up on the first journal corresponded with a pattern typical of most local journals then published. Page one contained a few columns of advertising, fiction (often a continued story), and a short feature of no particular news value. Page one was the "literary" page.<br /><br />Page two contained the editorial barbs, along with state news, political articles, Washington items and news of the national and territorial giovernments. Page three contained a few items of local news, sandwiched inbetween the local and foreign news.<br /><br />Page four was usually solid with advertising and as such was the editor's "bread and butter" page....Locally it was the pattern until the early 1880s.<br /><br />Several changes in ownership and management occurred during the first two years of publication, with J. M. Nevins taking over ownership interests on July 16, 1857. With the issue of May 7, 1862, "The Republican Banner" became "The Hastings Banner". Editor Nevins thought the village had developed sufficiently during the past several years to merit this recognition.<br /><br />Another major change in the management of The Banner came when Nevins sold the newspaper to George M. Dewey of Niles on March 14, 1866, who then took over as editor and publisher. Dewey, an ardent Republican and somewhat of a crusader, gave considerable space to editorial comment and party affairs and also directed pointed paragraphs against the saloons and local traffic in liquor. Dewey was the grandfather of Thomas E. Dewey, Republican presidential nominee in 1944 and 1948. Editor Dewey on May 4, 1870 changed the format (and name) of the paper to "Hastings Republican Banner". <br /><br />A fire in December 1883 burned The Banner plant (located in the middle of the block on the north side of State St. across from the courthouse). Files and back issues from August 1880 to December 1883 and the January 4, 1884 issues are missing.<br /><br />The Banner was purchased by Marshall L. Cook and George Bower on July 21, 1880. They changed the name to "The Hastings Banner". M. L. Cook soon became the sole owner and remained so until July 7, 1887 when Albert Nishern (M. L.'s brother-in-law) joined him. Albert Nishern sold his interest on November 6, 1889 to William Cook (M. L.'s younger brother).<br /><br />The Cook brothers partnership held together (56 years) ... Richard Cook followed his father into the newspaper business, and Richard's son William joined him. So the Cook family ownership continued for 85 years, from 1880 to 1974, when Richard and William sold the paper to High Fullerton. J-Ad Graphics became the owners of "The Hastings Banner" in August of 1981. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
