Tbe “Louvre,” or picture gallery, was ooce the largest anti most commodious palace In France. It was built by Francis I in 1541. Was first occupied by Cather­ ine de Medicls and her son Charles the Ninth. In it are the most important and beautiful works of art In the world, out­ side the Vatican of Rome. Here It was that Charlee gave the signal for tbe massa­ cre of 8u Bartholomew. Here b tbe original statue of “Venus de Milo” and one picture I wish to speak of particularly, “Mona Lisa” by Leonardo de Vinci. It is a portrait of a woman, who has a differ­ ent smile for you no matter which way yon look at her. Time forbids my saying more about this wonderful collection of paintings and sculpture, and after seeing the crown jewels and Borghese vase, we entered the church of La Salute Chappelle. This grand church of tbe thirteenth cen­ tury has two rooms one above tbe other, its stained glass windows are fine and It contains statuettes of Apostles here and there. Its pillars are beautifully decorat­ ed and its walls are done In rich colors of gold and crimson. Services are held here but once a year, when court Is re-opened In tbe falL The service is called “Mass of tbe Holy Ghost,” or “Red Mass", as Na­ is the only building left from the Paris Exposition of 1878. I met a Mr. and Mrs. Creg, of Albion, Mich., there. In tbe af­ ternoon we accepted an Invitation to a re­ ception given by the “Figaro” news­ paper—it was called a “five o’clock” and given for us and the Venzuelan Arbitra­ tion Commission. They gave a Vaude­ ville play with actors from tbe leading theatres.

An Invi­ tation we could not accept as we were go­ ing to Versailles the next morning. I do not think tbe French women at tbe recep­ tion looked any better than we did. Some of our gentlemen thought they made a striking appearance. We attended tbe Grand Opera In the evening where the play was “The Prophet.” 1 suppose It was very fine, but 1 was loo sleepy and tired to enjoy it.

Somebody who Is indignant that the name of the goose should be n syno­ nym for'folly, has collected stories from all quarter® to illustrate the true wisdom and dignity of geese. There are many varieties of wild geese, and whether they are all equally nloe and dignified the book does not say. Still It is true that the bird is not a coward and does not hesit-te to attack birds much bigger than himself. The do­ mestic goose is too well known to need a description of bls person or habits and, most of the stories of this histor­ ian of geese are so old that you would i hardly care to recall them here. | One or two stories seem ‘jomewbat Junction' Atriceltore OoBmk IfW beec •altar ooufm wilt be given at the cells— | during tbe •prlog ten Muskegon: By tbe dmtto of a B.

Nov. 19.—Special.— One of the most interesting Sunday school classes In the country is the Young Peo­ ples' Bible class of the M. E. Sunday school of this city. Its teacher, Circuit Judge Clement Smith, organized the class in 1880, and has remained at its bead ever since, and to him Is largely due Its ex­ treme interest and usefulness. It remained under the supervision of the general Sunday school until 1896. when It was reorganized, and although It is con­ nected with the Bunday school, it has a separate life of its own, electing Its own officers and having its own social life. At that time Judge Smith devised a record book for the use of the class which is so unique as to demand notice. It is divided Into four parts. Part one contains the record of attendance of each member separately. Part two, the class record showing attendance, collections, officers, the names and addreases of vlaitors, etc. This reveals an average weekly attendance of about 50 for the past three years.

Each year Judge Smith presents every member with a fine pocket edition of the international Sunday school lessons. A stranger, who, wearied with the dull monotony of the average Sunday school expects to fin'd it here, will find himself pleasantly surprised. From first to last there is life, interest, movement. Dry de­ tails and theological discussions are avoid­ ed, and the time Is occupied by the teach­ er la emphasizing those points in the sub­ ject that will aid In the conduct of life, the building up of character, and preparation for service. Judge Smith Is a firm believer in the Sunday school, when rightly conducted, as an aid to high living for the individual and consequently as a valuable construct­ ive factor in our national lite. He is in­ terested in doing his part of the work, and from the crowded class-room, the en­ thusiasm of the students and the large number of visitors, It is evident he la suc­ ceeding.—Kalamazoo Gazette.

While perhaps some may be inclined to charge the stealing disclosed at Lansing to the republican party, yet it Is certain that the democrats and populists are not blame­ less in tbe matter by a long ways, for without their support and votes this state never would have been cursed by Pingreeism two years ago. Enough republicans voted against him in tbe state to have de­ feated him. It was the democrats and populists wbo elected him.

CHAPTER VIII. Social circles at West Point at long, ran' intervals are shocked by a scandal, and at short ones, say every other sum­ mer- are stirred by some kind of a sensation, and the “Fairy Sisters” were the sensation of the year ’97. They came in July; they went in September, and meanwhile they were “on the go”’ as they expressed it, from morn till late at night. Physically they were the lightest weights known to the hop the’eorps expressed*it, “cither ofThem ai iae can uiKe tnke u a iaii fall ou, out oi of auy any woman at the Point,” anil thi* was especially true of tbe elder—Mr*. Prank Garrison— wbose husband was on staff duly in the far west. Both were slight, fragile, tiny blondes with light blue eye,, with lighter, fluffy, hair, with exqu£ite littie hands and feet, with oval, prettily shaped faces, and the younger, the maiden sister, had a bewitching mouth and regular, snowv dot* of teeth ot which *he wa< justlv proud. Vet. al has been previouslv Mid of Mrs. 1’nink, while the general effect was In the ca*e ot each that of an extremely pretty young girl, the elder had no really good features, the younger only that one. They generally dressed very much alike in lights films}' gowns and bats, gloves and summer shoes all of daz­ zling white—sometimes verging for a change to a creamy hue—but colors, except" for sashes and summer shawls, seemed banished from their wardrobes. Tliey.danced divinely, said the corps, and- preferred cadet partners, to the joy ofi the battalion. They rode fear­ lessly and well, and had stunning hats and habits, but few opportunities fOr display thereof. They came tripping down the path from the hotel ever?’ morning, fresh and fair as daisies, in time for guard mounting, and at any hour after that could be found chat­ ting with cadet friends at the visitors' tent, strolling arm in arm about the shaded walks with lome of their many admirers until time to dress for the evening hop, where they never missed a dance, nnd on rainy days, or bn those Polopel’s island and stood at the edge of the wharf waving her tiny kerehlef —even blowing fairy kisses to them as;they steamed away.

Nita, explained, was only just out of , school, and Mrs. Frank was giving hex this summer at the Point as a great treat before taking her to the far west, where lhe elder sister must soon go to join her husband. Everybody knew Frank Garrison. He had long been stationed at the academy and was b man universally liked-and respected— even very highly regarded. All of a sudden the neus came back to the Point a few -months after his return to his regiment that be was actually engaged to “Wiu-hte” Terriss. Hot on the heels of the rumor came the wed­ ding cards—:Lieut. Col. and Mrs.Terriss requested the honor of your presence at the marriage of their daughter Mar­ garet to Lieut. Francis Key Garrison* —th U. S. Cavalry, at the Post Chapel, Fort Kiley. Kansas, November —, 1894 —all in Tiffany’s best style, as were the cards which accompanied the invi­ tation. “What a good thing for old Bill Terriss.” said everybody who knew that his impecunloslty was due to the wtv'iKflf 4s thing for Frank Garrison.'" w*s the I erho.

Asked as to thia by one of her chums, she was reported to have replied: “Do you know. 1 believe it true; I had totally forgotten-about Ned Colston before Mr. Foiinan had been at the post a week. Of course the only thing to do wtis to break with both and let them start fresh.’’ But this Mr. Colstou. whose head had been somewhat cleared by a month of breezy, healthful scouting,, accepted only iu part—that part which include the break. Forman had the fresh start and the walk over and held the trophy just two months, when it dawned upon him that Margaret loved dancing far more than she did him—a clumsy per­ former, and that ahe would dance ’ night after night, the lightest, dain­ evenings, when there was neither hop nor band practice, they could be found, each in some dimly lighted, secluded nook about tbe north or west piazza or on the steps leading down to tbe “Chain Battery Walk,” sometimes sur­ rounded by a squad of cadet friends, but more frequently in murmured, tete-a-tete with only one cavalier. In the case of Mrs. Frank no member of the corps seemed especially favored. She was just the same to every one. In the case of her younger sister—Miss Terriss—there presently' developed a dashing young cadet captain who so scientifically conducted, his campaign that he headed off almost all compet­ itors and was presently accorded the lead under the universally accepted theory that he had won the little lady’s heart. Observant women—and what women are not observant—of each other?—declared both sisters to be des­ perate flirts. Society at the Point frowned upon them and, after the first formal call or two, dropped them en­ tirely—a thing they never seemed to resent in the least, or even to notice* They were never invited out to tea or dinner on the post—solemn functions nowhere near so palatable as the whisEered homage of stalwart young manood. “Nita is yet such a child she infinitely prefere cadet society, and I always did like boys.” explained Mrs. out of style, FrankI And so it went. but it looks MWffcDy like it wm eomBut if she did not love her husband ihg—and Nita, you simply muvtn't. there was one being in whom her ' Ycm’vr got to marry money if I bare to frivolous heart was really bound up— stand guard over you and aee you do Nila—her “baby sister,” aa she called it—and you know you can thia minute— her, and when Terriss, the colonel, went if you’ll only Hates.” Tbe younger girt wheeled sharply, the way of all flesh, preceded only a few months by the wife of his bosom, the her eyes flushing. ’Peggy, you prom­ few thousands in life insurance he had ised n» I shouldn’t hear that hateful managed to maintain went to the two thing again—at least not until we left tog Battle Orrok rood daughters.

It is in this section of this tend that tbe great sugar plantations are located. I am told that the Islands are capable of raising almost any kind of crop?, but that sugar pays so much belter than anything etoe that the people will no| raise any other crop on a large scale.

Charlie Flower, of Detroit, reported to be Pingree’s right hand tnan, and message­ writer against trusts aod corporations, was the man who engineered the deal whereby tbe Detroit Telephone Co. organ•;«ed to buck the Bell Telephone Co., sold •nut to that company. Ping’s official fam­ ily has proven Itself very versatile to say tbe least. Alas, bow Pingree’s endeavors to eman­ cipate the people from corporate greed, and give them low street car tares and low telephone rales Id Detroit, bave come to naught, and tbe companies thus organ­ ized been gobbled up by tbe corporations. The Detroit Street Railway, fostered by the Pingree “push” with the avowed pur­ pose of crushing out five cent fares, and favored by municipal authority, came to naught. The Detroit Telephone Com­ pany,. organized by tbe same “push,*’ and with the avowed purpose of fighting tbe Bell Telepbooe Company, to reduce rates, was swallowed Tuesday by the Bell octopi that It was organized to fight. The De­ troit Company gave tbe public to under­ stand that it would never sell to the Bell. But the millions at tbe back ot the Bell Company seem to bave accomplished what it desired, and now has a monopoly of the business in Detroit. Th® Sjteclal Session. Probably no question of State impor­ tance has been so much discussed by the press as tbe failure of tbe last legislature to blindly and without regard to results pass some sweeping measures for the taxa­ tion of corporations. it is an open question whether that body is not as much to be commended for wbat it did not do, as It would bave been bad it, without the Information necessary to act intelligently, passed all tbe measures ad­ vocated by the so called friends of “equal taxation,” Matters are left substantially as they were when tbe first session of the legislature convened. The legislature de­ clined to take a step iu tbe dark. As to the amendment ot the constitution which was made tbe excuse for tbe calling of tire special session of the legislature, its avowed object as stated by those who are reputed to have drawn It, was to so classi<y corporate property as to permit its tax­ ation In a still different way from that by which It is taxed at the present time, and different from tbe method employed for r;be taxation of other property. Ito object ‘was to provide for tbe taxation of property, ad-vatorem, by a rule that would not and did not alm to be- uniform.

Thursday morning, November 9. at about 3 o'clock we crossed tbe merid­ ian. The difference in time between this meridian and that of tbe origin at Green­ wich is of conrse 19 hours. It Is neces­ sary therefore in crossing the 180 merid­ ian to make some correction for the dif­ ference of time. And if tbe correction were made for tbe actual difference—19 hours—it would bring us to the middle of tbe day. To avoid tjri* they make a correction of 94 bdurs and drop a whole day. In returning a day Is taken up. In consequence of this dropping of a day we called it Thursday morning yesterday and until the meridian was crossed and after that II became Friday.

CHAPTER IV.—On the way to the re­ view the Prime party witnesses the cap­ ture of two soldiers suspected of having been accomplices In the stealing of stores Intended for the soldiers—even of dainties contributed by the Red Cross. CHAPTER V.-Gray receives a note from a prisoner, who Is suspected of having been a large recipient of the stolen goods, but who declares his innocence, begs Gray's help and signs himself “Georgs Morton," adding the Greek letters of the same fra­ ternity Gray had belonged to in college. Gray had planned a night in town, ex­ pecting to meet the Prime party. In spite of the fact that this might be his last chance for a chat with Amy Lawrence, Gray manages to secure duty as officer of the guard, that he may have ah opportu­ nity to have an interview with Morton. CHAPTER VI.—Preparations are made forsendlng part of command to Philippines.

CHAPTER Vni.—The story back to the summer of 'STI, when the "Fairy |8lsters” (Mr#. Garrison aid Nita Terris) were the sensation at West Point. Mrs. Garrison warned Nita against accepting attentions of young I.atrobe. a cadet who was shortly to graduate. Instating she must marry money. A card is handed Mrs. Garrison—"Mr. Gouveneur Prime.” riveted poor ••Gov’s" chains and left her well-nigh breathless with exciter me nt. The strain had been intense. 11 was nil she could do to make the boy try to behuve in a rational way in the presence of other's. When alone with her he raved. A fearful load was lift­ ed from her spare little shoulders when the Teutonic .sailed. Even NitC had worried andihad seen her sister's worry. Then no sooner did "Gov" reach Europe than he began wriyjag impassioned let­ ters by every steamer, but thatwaan’t so bad. She had several nuujculine cor-; respondents, some of whom wrote aa often as Frank, but none of whom, to do her justice, got letters as often as he did, which, however, was saying little, for she hated writing. "Gov” was to have stayed abroad three, months, piloting the pater and sister about the scenes so familiar to him, but they saw how nervous and un­ happy he was. Th(?y knew be was writ-, ing constantly to some one. Mildred: had long since divined that there was a girl at the. bottom ofn all. and longed; and strove to find out* who she was. Through the last of June and all through July he resolutely stood to his, promise and did bis best to be loving ,< "Would you like to go to her at once?" and brotherly to a loving and devoted sister and dutiful to a most indulgent father. But he grew white and worn and haggard, hb who bad been such a picture of rugged health, and, in her utter innocence and ignorance as to the being on whom her brother had lavished the wealth of his love. Mildred began to ask herself should ahe not urge her father to let vQov" return to America. At last one sweet July even­ ing. late in the month, the brother and slater were wandermg along the lovely shore of Lucerne, lie had been un­ usually fitful, restless and moody oil day. No letter bad reached him in over a fortnight, and he was miserably un­ happy. They stopj>ed at a grassy bank that ran down to the rippling water's edge, and she seated herself oti a stone ledge, while in recklrok abandonment he threw himself at full length on the dewy grass. Instantly the last doubt vanished. Bending over him. her soft hand caressing his hair, she whispered: ’ •• ’Gov,' dear boy, is it so very hard? Alnd the boy buried his face in her lap] twined his arms about her slender waist, nnd almost groaned aloud as he answered: "For pity’s pake help me if you can, Mildred, I’m almost mad.” Early in August the swiftest steamer of the line was splitting the Atlantic surge and driving hard for home, with "Gov" cursing her for a canal bout. The day after he reached New York be bad traced and followed the White SisTcrs to West Point, and Margaret Garrison stared in mingled delight, triumph and dismay at the card in her hand; de­ light that she could show these exclu­ sive Pointers that the heir to one ot. the oldest and la-si names in Gotham's Four Hundred was a slave to her beck and call, dismayed to think of the scene that might occur through his jealousy when he saw the devoted- attentions she received from so many nien—offi­ cers. civilians and cadets. Old Cashton came up now as regularly ns Saturday night came around, and there were others. Margaret Garrison was more talked about than any woman in Or­ ange county, yet who could report any thing of her beyond that she was a uni­ versal favorite.,and danced, walked, pos­ sibly flirted with, a dozen different cav­ alier* every dny of her life. There were some ‘few people among her accusers, demure and most proper—even prudish —women, of whom, were the truth to be told, ao little could not be said. "Gov" Prime took the only kind of room 1o be had in the house, so foil’was it—a little seven by ten box on the office floor. He would have slept in the coalbin rather than leave her. He saw her go off to the hop looking radiant, glancing back over her shoulder and smiling sweetly at him. He rushed to bis trunk, dragged out his evening clothes and stood at the wall looking on pntil the last note of the last dance —he, a noted German leader in the younger set and tbe best dancer of bls years in Gotham. Not so much as a single spin had be. and he longed to show those light-waisted, button-be­ strewed fellows in gray and white bow little they really knew about dancing, well as many of them appeared on the floor. His reward was tendered as the hop broke up. She came gliding to him with such witchery in her upraised face. "Now. sir. It is your turn. I couldn’t give you a dance, for my card was made out days ago, but Mr. jJatrobe was glad belle ia the wild much better take u •ouid hear and see, and live in daily torment. One comfort came to him when he could not be with Mrs. Oarrison (who naively expbin>rd that "Gov" was such a dear boy and they were such atanch friends, real com­ rades, you know). He had early made the acquaintance of Pat Latrobe, and there was a bond oi sympathy between them which wax none the etrong because, on Prime’s side, it could-neith­ er be admitted nor alluded to—that they-were desperately in love with the sisters, aud it. was not long, before it began to dawn on Prime that pretty Nita was playing a double game—that even while assuring her guardian sister that she had only a mild jnterest in Latrobe, she was really losing or had lost her heart to him, and in every way in her power was striving to conceal the fact from Margaret, and yet meet her lover at hours when she thought it possible to do so without discovery. As the friendship strengthened be­ tween himself and Latrobe they l>egan uaing him as Cupid's postman, end many little notes and some big ones found their way to hnd from the Fourth division of cadet barracks. Mrs. Frank was only.moderately kind to her civil­ ian adorer then, granting him-only one dance at each hop, and going much with other men, but , that dance wM. worth seeing. Prime’s was the only black "claw-hammer’’ in the room, and therefore conspicuous, and cadets—who know a good thing.when they see it— and many a pretty girl partner would draw aside to watch the perfection of their step and tbe exquisite ease with which they seemed io float through space, circling and reversing and wind­ ing among the other dancers, he ever alert, watchful, quick as a rat and lithe nnd strong as a panther—Rhe all* yielding, lissome.airy grace.

Treas 127 tober there were lovely drives, picnics and gnyetles of all kinds. There were attractive young officers and assidu­ ous old ones, and among these latter was .Frost, with his handsome gray mustache and distinguished bearing, nnd that air of conscious success and possession which some men know so well how to assume even when their chances are slimmer than my Indy’s hand. The sisterly breach was heaied before Hint beautiful month was over. Frost dined at the Garrisons’ four times a week and drove Mis* Nita be­ hind his handsome bays every day or two. In November he asked a ques­ tion. In December there was an an­ nouncement that called forth a score of congratulations around headquar­ ters, and in January the wedding cards went all over the union—some to West, Point, but to Latrobe, who had been looking ill and anxious for six weeks, said hb classmates, nnd falling off fear­ fully in his studies, said his professors, only a brief note inclosing'his letters and begging for hers. At reveille next morning there was no captain to re­ ceive the report of roll call from the first sergeant of coiupany B. "Where’s Latrobe?” sleepily asked the officer of the day of the cadet first lieutenant. “T dn’ know," was tbe answer, and to tbe ainaxe of Latrobe’s roommate, who had gone to bed and to sleep right after taps the night before, they found evidence that "Pat” had left the post. He had not even made down hi* bed­ ding. His cadet uniforms were all there, but a suit of civilian clothes, usually in a snug package up the chim­ ney, that had been used several time* “running it” to the hotel after taps itf August, was now. like its owner, miss­ ing. After three days’ waiting and fruitless search, the superintendent wired Latrobe's untie and best friend, old Gen. Drayton, and that was the last seen or heard of "Pat.” In the spring and ahead of time hir class was grad­ uated without him. for the war with Spain was on. In the spring an irate and long-tried father waa upbraiding another only son for pmbtent failures at coMcce. " •Gov’ Prime will get the sack. n»t the sheepskin,” prophesied his fellows. And then somehow, some­ where the father heard it was a mar­ ried woman with whom bls boy was »o deeper in love, and there were hit­ ter, bitter word* on both sides—so bit­ ter that when at text he flung hiteself out of his father^ at^-GovT Prime enough to get rid of taking re home.

The Oregon, was there as well as several other war. ships, but 1 only saw them at a distance too great to tell much about them. In passing out we, went through tbe southern channel—tte one that Dewey came through. This gave me a chance to see both sides of the!island of Corregidor. On this island they hive located a conval­ escent hospital and this we could see from tbe ship. On toe south of this Is­ land Is a small island forming a channel between Corrigedor and the main channel. After getting outside we turned south and ran all day in eight of tbe various islands to tbe south of Luzon. We were in sight •f Luxon for a good many hours as It stretches far away to tbe south of Manila. On tbe way down to Iloilo we passed two small Spanish gun boats conveying a small transport carrying SDanish soldiers. They bad evidently been gathering them from tbe islands to tbe south and tbe Ladrone Islands. Later In tbe day we met tbe monitor Monadnock. We oould see various towns ou tbe coast Sunday morning we arrived off Iloilo at about eight in the morning. When tbe Doctor’s, boat came, off to us we went ashore. [Arrived at the dock the first man T saw was Dickman. He is there on duty as the Lieut Col. of tbe 26th. When we got up to tbe office I met several officers and some of them I had known before. There was quite a crowd of u* that went ashore. We returned to the ship at about noon. Iu tbe afternoon quite a namber went ashore. I remained aboard the ship as I bad seen ail I wanted to of tbe town, anti I had found it very hot when I was ashore. Tbe 18th. a batallon of tbe 19th, and the 26r.h are there. They have had considerable fighting In tbe past two weeks aud feel that they have about -**• .<4 leaned on the .tejand. Jfbeyt gplgg ♦5 take the last large town on tbe Island and with that they thought the fighting would be about over as far as the island of Fanay is concerned. Gen. Hughes Is In command here ind in bls district are the islands of Pansy. Negros and Cebu, which constitute tbe principal part of the yiaayan group. He bas all the amall Islands that are In this group. The south-eastern portion of the Island of Pansy on which Iloilo stands is lowaud fiat, and' from the sea looks very much like southern Florida. The town itself bas no vary large buildings except the cathedral. Its streets are rather narrow and not paved. What I saw of them was very clean, and the roadway was hard, evi­ dently made so by putting on them small, rocks and gravel or something of tbaf kind. Tbe people 1 saw said they found the climate very healthful. The tempera­ ture wai not uueudurably hot. Of course when they went out in the fields they found tbe sun very hot but there was al­ most always a breeze. We were anchored just east of tbe mouth of tbe river that rues along the east aide of tbe town. Op­ posite to us and on the east side of the river was opea country without any build­ ings of any nature. Tbe river b not very wide and the building! of the town come down to its banks on tbe west aide of tbe river. But until about three weeks ago tbe Insurgents occupied trenches on the east bank of tbe river, and they were within rifle range of that part of the town that was close to tbe west bank of the river. They have occupied thia terri­ tory ever since the insurrection broke'out here. They are now all cleaned out and their huiH are burned. Four and six miles from Hollo are two towns each about as large and these are now occupied with our troops. Tbe business of the town In times of peace is made up of shipping sugar and hemp, and It is next In importance to Ma­ nila. In fact In three two branches 1 hear that It does more business than Manila. We landed a few recruits at Iloilo and then our business was done there, but we did not leave thereuntil Monday morning. Navigating a large ship in these walers is risky business owing to the fact that they have not been very thoroughly surveyed. So our captain Is using all the care that Is possible and does not sail io tbe closed waters except In daylight We have a pilot aboard who te supposed to know tbo waters thoroughly. But this rhlp draws 28 feet and Is the first ship of that draft to sail in these waters. During yesterday forenoon we were sailing among Islands but finally reached the Sulu sea and be slowed down so thsr we would not get out of this sea before monfing. I have no fear that we will not get through ail right, but we cannot know for certain until we reach the and of tbe trip The Captain pro­ tested againsrooming down here but bls protest was ignored. Two of the companies that were on the If anuense have b*en transferred to this ship and the other two companies are fol­ lowing us ou rhe Brutus, a thirteen foot arfafc boat that belongs to a Manila com­ pany.

JANUARY 25, 1900. has sailed along as If she were In a mill­ pond. Toe weather bas bean very com­ fortable and tbe nights cool except last night wben It was terribly warm In tbe staterooms. All these islands as seen from the ship are very mountainous and present very beautiful scenery. The whole country is one mass of foliage as green as green can be. I did not have quite as much time In Manila as I wanted, but saw a good deal of it in the time that I was there. Tbe streets arp not very wide but wide enough for the transaction of business. All tbe streets In the business portion of tbe town are paved with square paving blocks of stone. And tbe whole city is kept Im­ maculately clean. 1 walked around Jack Morrison’s district with him one evening and in tbe whole district found cleanliness only. And be bas some of the- worst part of the town. The city is cut no with a net work of streams, one might call them nil oral canals. They are mostly naviga­ ble for the little native canoes. These canals are more or leas full of floating debrls and filth, but there is no way to pre­ vent It and they can only trust to the rains to wash them out occasslonally. All the canals mat I saw were at least twenty to thirty feet wide. The Pasig river rune between the uew city and tbe walled town, or rather tbe wailed town is on the east bank of the river and at Its month between tbe river and the bay. Just out­ side tbe walled city and running along the shore of the bay is tbe Luneta. This is a street that remind^ one a little of tbe boulevard along Lake Michigan out at Lincoln park. It is about fifteen hundred yards long, but is tbe place of resort in the evening. A band plays there every nlgbt and every one that can drives up and down or walks and listens to tbe mu­ sic. The walled city is not very large. I should say that the grounds at Albion col­ lege contains as much area as this city does. But In there ate churches, con­ vents, shops, barracks, the palace and other public buildings. Fort Santiago, where tbe doth is, Is a fort in the walled city that Is st tbe muutb of tbe river. Just across the river from this fort is the landing place from the ships, tbe custom bouse, Quarter Master store bouse, Com­ missary Depot, and from here tbe trains start for tbe north on tbe railroad. The Paris restaurant where we stopped was on tbe bank of tbe Pasig and at tbe west end of tbe bridge over which all the traffic passes to and fro from tbe walled city. This latter is surrounded by a wide moat that although paved with rock is now bait filled with earth and tilth and has pretty good slxed trees growing Iu it. There Is a system of street oars lu tbe city. They are open cars drawn each by a pair of ponies. The drivers blow a little whistle that is made oat of bamboo. Each car has a conductor. Tney seem tw be well patronized.* Then there are two­ wheeled carriages—one kind with side seats that will bgld four, and another with a seat like oiir carts. The driver sits in front, and these are drawn by one pony, who is never allowed to walk if there is for him to trou tiling like n barouche, and this is general­ ly drawn by a pair of ponies. Tbe rates of fare are very low so that It Is about as cheap to ride In these conveyances as at l>ome to ride in street care. In fact a trip cortts only 20 cents Mexican, and as many persons Inside a> the vehicle will carry. Mr. W. and I were out ooe evening from four till seven In a barouche aud it oost us St. 10 Mexlcafi. or just half that American. AH prices are "mex.” 1 got my laundry done there for 36 mex. per hundred aud it was done very well. Tbe governor general’s residence is in the northern part of the town in tbe district known as Melacanan, and not In tbe palace Id the walled city. This latter place is tbe place of business of tbe Corps headquarters. We reached Jolo yesterday (Tuesday, the 5th) after 1 had written what goes before, at about noon. A launch came off at once to the ship. It had in it three of tbe officers of the 2Sd wbo are atatieued here. One of these officers was Major Sweet wbo was on recruiting duty In BL Lewis when I was there. After luneb we went ashore to see the town. Sweet bad told us that Gen. Bates bad gone to Zam­ boanga and it bad been decided that we would go over there. But tbe ship was not to sail until ttie aext morning. We landed at the wharf and went up town. 1 met up there Cole, who was a student officer at Leavenworth when we were there. Wltu him I went around the town and outside the wall to one of tbe native villages near the town. Jolo itself Is a walled t<Mvn. It is not a large town and 1 should guess that it has about the area of two city blocks. The streets are clean and sweet, and tbe roadways are made of corral sand and gravel, Some years ago it was a vlfcry fever breeding place but one or tbe Span­ ish governors that they sent down here took the matter in band and cleaned and drained tbe town, and made all these nice streets. The city H a most beautiful park. There are all kinds of flowering shrubs and all were In bloom. Many large trees are growing there and tbe foliage completely shades tbe town and makes tbe streets very cool. The native village that we visited is about six hundred yards from tbs town. The houses are of bamboo aud thatebed with leaves. They are built up on stilts. Tbe natives wear very few clothes. We saw some men wbo were clothed only In a breech clout and the little children bad no clothes on at alL Tbe dress of tbe Moros Is quite different from tbe Datives shove hire (that te when they are dress­ ed.) The men wear trousers with very □arrow legs, in fact they are skin tight They wear a skirt inside tbe trousers and potside of this a short and close fitting jacket. The women wear trousers bat with ver/ wide legs. In this village we saw a native blacksmith shop. Tbe Del I (Mrs consisted of two upright woodeu cylioUers, hollow and about six Inebts in diameter. At the foot of each cylinder and coming out from a bole in tbe side was a small bamboo cylinder, about as Inch in diameter. These conducted the air fnm tbe big cylinders to the fire. Inside of each large cylinder was a pis­ ton. with a head about two inches thick and-toads' to fit closely by the use of c!orb ayjand tbe edges of the head. To th* twAd was attached a long rod of suffii+m length io enable the bead to or pushed to tbe bottom of the cylinder A TRIP THROUGH EUROPE.

The boarding house on Great Denmark was *not to our liking and we moved out the next day. Went to Westland Row, In a very aristocratic part of tbe city near Merrlon square, where Daniel O'Connell, the greatest agitator of bis day lived. Now nearly every bouse around this square Is a physician’s or surgeon’s home. Near here Is Stephen’s Green, containing twenty-two acres and made into tbe pret­ tiest little park I ever set eyes on. Tbe National library. Science and Art mu­ seum are very fine buildings. Also Trin­ ity college, which was founded by Queen Elizabeth, 1591. It Is bulll upon the sight of All Hallows. You enter tbe college by a handsome portico. It is built of flat stone and is of tbe corintbian order of architecture. On each side of the en­ trance the college caste its gray shadows over tbe monuments which perpetuate tbe glories of its noble sons, Edmond Burke and Oliver Goldsmith, the author of tbe "Deserted Village.” The library In tbe college contains two hundred and fifty thousand volumes and only its graduates are allowed tc use them. When It was founded none but Protestants were ad-, mitted, now It is free to all denominations. In tbe library is tbe famous book of ‘•Kell’a.” It contains the four "Gospel’s In Latin and Introductions of St Jerome and Is now considered the most elaborate­ ly executed manuscript of early art bow In existence.” Its colors are still so fresh one can but wonder what they can be to have lasted so many hundred years. Some of the lines are sb fine they are In­ visible to the naked eye. The Irish ar­ tists must have had strong lenses, for it takes a strong one now to discern the work, in Christ church is tbe black marble tomb of Strongbow. St Patrick's cathedral Is built on tbe ground upon which St. Patrick built the of Daniel O'Conell, copied after tbe an­ cient round towers that are to be seen in all parts of Ireland. Near this is the grave of the Irish leader, Charles Stuart Parnell. From.here we went to Phoenix park, called tbe largest in the world, with tbe exuepiion of tbe Yellowstone National park. This one contains ono thousand eight hundred and sixty acres. Here Is the Vice-regal Lodge, the home of the Lord Mayor of Ireland. Not far away is the spot where Lord Fredrick.Cavendlab and T. H. Burke were killed te 1882. Tbe monument of Wellington, erected, by bls fellow townsmen of Dublin, Is in this park and Is one of tbe finest 1 ever saw. Here hundreds of deer were browsing undis­ turbed. A large part of tbe grounds axe set aside for games of different kinds, another noted spot.

Graf­ ton is the finest business street in Dublin and Saeksvllle is ttw* widest one I ever saw though not more tbau ten blocks in length. There are tine monuments all through tbe center of the street tbe street cars running on each side. I asked sever­ al persons tbe width of this street but no one could tell me. The last ooe said "you might ask tbe policeman, be ought to know.** They patrol toe streets night aud day. I said to one “Will you be kind enough to tell me tbe width of this street sir?” "And begorrab, I don’t know mam.” “Well,” I Mid, **I am a stranger here and I would like to know before leav­ ing tbe city. Won’t you pace It for me?” "Begorrab, I might mam, but snre^ every man’s pace is not alike.” A gentleman overhearing tbe conversation said the street was one hundred and sixty-five feet in width. Tbe drives around tbe city are fine, and if you wish to go in an inexpen­ sive way you can take a car for a ride of ten miles and It will cost jou but three cents. These oars are elegant fifteen can ride upon tbe top of one and this lofty position commands a tine view of the country as you ride along. We went to Donnybrook, Dalky.

There is no longer any question in minds of the public as to the value of at good library In connection with the school.. Some one has said that •‘habit is threefourths of life,” and if tbs habit of/reading good books is learned early it proves a great power in the after life of lbe4lddividusl.

The Greek church dow numbers one hundred twenty-five million, and is increasing more rapidly than any other denomination, due largely to tbe fleet that tbe Slav race is so prolific. Another fact to t>e commented on, is that more men than women are to be observed in the congregations. Mrs. Carrie Grant opened tbe discussion on Manual Training In Our Public Schools with a comprehensive and interesting paper followed by Mrs. Clara Lathrop and Mrs. Nettie Brooks and many othen, showing the topic was one of personal in­ terest to alL It was advocated that man­ ual training should be one of tbe branches taught io pur Normal schools and in. this way Its introduction into. the common schools would be made easier. Manual training would serve to keep many from leaving school before the High school Is reached. From tbe whole dlscauton we deduce the facts that the true object of manual training is to train the band, eye and judgarent, not teleach the trades. It gives tbe necessary element lacking in finished education. It would give a dig­ for in no other place cap be found, «asnity and value to labor because tbe child aembled together, such a variety of natur­ would be able to appreciate the difficult In al bMuties.

We arrived here (Zamboanga) at about two o'clock yesterday afternoon. Tbe captain of tbe port came off to us and several of us went ashore in bis boat to report to Gen. Bates. Upon reporting to him we found that affairs befe were very quiet, but that be had been here but a few days. After considering tbe subject a little while be gave orders for the three companies of tbe 28d that are here to return to Jolo. One battalion of the 81st was to remain here, another eras to go to Cottobato, about 140 miles from here on the east ooaat, and tbe other battalion is to go to Davau on farther np the east coast. They rent the regiment down here and would not give them a launch with which to land the troops. Fortunately there were twe shlpe of tbe navy btre and tbe General aald that be would. ask them for tbelr launches to help this regi­ ment get ashore. It was settled that tbe process of disembarking was to begin at daylight this morning. At daylight this morning the* began getting troope and tbelr baggage ashore. They are still at It Tbe boats* of tbe ship ere being used and about three of these boats are towed at a time by one of tbe launches. It is now three o’clock in tbe afternoon and they have gotten ashore six companies and a good deal of baggage and stores. A half company bas been sent to Isabella about fifteen miles from here across the channel on tbe island of Bolinag, or some such name. Tbe companies of tbe 28d, except one. have left for Jolo. At the rate tbe unloading is being done it will probably take a couple of days more before everything Is ashore. There are a very few suitable buildings here for quarters and so far 1 have not secured a place for my office or a pt^ce to live. While tbe insurrectos were Id possession of tbe place they stripped many of tbe bouses of everything and even took tbe corrugated Iron off of tbe roofs. Tbe bouse where tbe General lives Is In very good condition and so is tbe building in which be bas bls bead­ quarters, bnt tbe other vacant buildings that are here are at present in do shape for occupancy. I shall probably have an office In tbe beadquarters building for tbe present, but am not sore that i will have any otber place in which to live than In my office. This morning 1 found* a bouse that is in very good shape except that tbe roof bas been taken off. This can be thatched and will then make a good place In which to lire, and 1 have asked tbe Q. M. to do tbte. But of course this will take some time. ~ Chase & Sanborn’s High Grade Coffees to become famous for their excellency. N ? matter whether yOu buy their Seal Brand that comes in pound and two pound tin cans, or their other high grade coffees which are put up in highly-colored, parchment-lined bags, you may rest assured you are getting the best coffee that money can produce There Is not much of the town left. I presume that there are not fifty djwnt buildings In tbe place. Including those that have bud tbelr roofs torn off. ' And as there is no lumber here it will take some time to get things in good i pape. Tbe main street of tbe town runs along the sea shore and tbe bouses on ooe side back up against tbe beach. Down tbe middle of this street runs a small stream. This streams comes In from tbe moun­ tain. It Is tbe only water supply of tbe town. Sentinels are stationed along it In order to prevent Its being polluted, but the only way to be sure about Its being not harmful will be to boll tbe water. I expect to drink only the bottled water that ia carried for sale Ln tbe Com­ missary. There is no such thing as loe here, or an ice-making plant So we will have to drink water tbe temperature of tbe atmosphere. I suppose that we will get used to this. It ia not probable that we will be here very long before they will make arrangements for an Im plant here. They have just finished putting one In at Jolo. At present there Is no fresh beef here, and no way for securing any. As near as can be found out the beef cattle of this part of the island have all died out from some disease. It te rumored that at Cottaboto and Davin there are good beef cattle. If we can find do eattie tn the island we will have to be supplied as they are at Manila and Iloilo, with refrigerated beef.

In the sunny land that is the home of the coffee bean, the . planter is generally a man of affluence. He is a man who knows what coffee should be. He isi a man that is satisfied . ■ . only with the very best that the earth can produce. Such men have a taste fr r coffee that k acute• in the extreme. To such men as these, Northern coffee merchants send for t. ir supplies. Chase -J & Sanborn, the well-known coffee dealers of Boston, buy every bit of their famous coffees from such planters. They go only to such plantations as have a reputation for producing the highest grade 01 coffee. This same diligent care in obtaining possession of the raw article k continued to the end.

Hastening to their side, he raised his cap and smiled a cordial greeting. • SYNOPSIS. " Ob Rollin." she cried. "I dire Dot.” uous care and devotion during her 111ness, something serious was amiss. Everybody had heard of the adventure which had preceded her alarming illne«s. Everybody knew that she had been accost cd and confronted by a strange young mail, at sight of whom she had pleaded piteously a minute and then fainted dead away. By this time, too, there were or had been near­ ly a dozen of tbe graduating class in town—classmates of Rollin Latrobe— their much loved “Pat,” and speedily tbe story was told of his devotion to her when she was Nita Terriss, of their correspondence, of their engagement to be married on his graduation; which in strict confidence he had imparted to his roommute, who kept it inviolate 1 until after her sudden union with Col. and „ ,udd<.n I .. . . disappearance. Everybody, hrost in­ cluded, knew that the young man who had accosted her must be Latrobe, and Frost by this time knew that it must have been he who caused her shock at the Arlington. He raged in,his jealous heart. He employed detectives to find the fellow, swearing he Would have him arrested. He became morose and gloomy, for all the arts by which Mrs. Garrison persuaded him that Nita looked up to him with admiration and reverence, that would speedily develop into wifely love, were now proved tu be machinations. He knew that Nita feared him, shrank from him and was very far from loving him, and he be­ lieved that- despite her denials and tears and protestations she loved young Latrobe. He wrote angrily, reproach­ fully tc Margaret, who, now that her fish was hooked, did not greatly exert herself to soothe or reassure him. That he could ever use violence to one so sweet and fragile as Nita she would not believe for an instant. Then the nurse, still retained, heard bitter words from the colonel as one morning she came to the door with Mrs Frost’s breakfast, and while she paused, uncer­ tain about entering at such a time, he rushed angrily forth and nearly col­ lided with her. Mrs. Frost was in tears when the nurse finally entered, and the breakfast was left untouched. Late that afternoon, just after thb various trunks and boxes of the Frost* that were to go by the transport were packed and ready, and Mrs. Frost, look­ ing stronger at last, though still frag­ ile, almost ethereal, was returning from a drive with one of her friends, the at­ tention of the two ladies was draYvn to a crowd gathering rapidly on the ^de- walk not far from the Baldwin hotel. There was no shouting, no commotion, nothing but the idle curiosity of men and boys, for a young soldier, a hand­ some, slender, dark-eyed, dark-com­ plexioned fellow of 21 or 22, had been arrested by a patrol and there they stood, the sergeant and his two sol­ diers fully armed and equipped, the hapless captive with his arms half filled with bundles, and over the heads of tbe little throng the ladies could see that he was pleading earnestly with hi* captors, and that the sergeant, though looking sympathetic and far from unkind, was shaking his bead. Mrs. Frost, listless and a tittle fatigued, had witnessed too many such scenes te former days of garrison life to take any interest in the proceeding. “How stupid these people are!” she irritably exclaimed; "running like mad and blockading the streets to see a soldier arrested for absence from camp with­ out a pass. Shan't we drive on?” “Oh—just one moment, please, Mrs.Frost. He has such a nice face—a gen­ tleman's face, and he seems so troubled. Do look at it!” Languidly and with some thing very like a pout. Mrs. Front turned her face again toward the sidewalk, but by thia time the sergeant had linked an arm “Oh, I’m so glad you came, colonel, we are so interested in that young sol­ dier. Do tell us what it all means. Oh! 1 beg your pardon, Mrs. Frost, I surely thought you had met Col. Crosby—let me pre— Why, Nita! What’s— Are you ill? Here, take my salt*, quick!” “No—no—go on—I—I want to hear! Where are they taking him?” faintly murmured Mrs. Frost.” “Try to control yourself,” said, her companion. “1’11 tell you in one mo­ ment.” Meantime from without the carriage the colonel continued, address­ ing Nita’s companion: “He tells u perfectly straight story. He says he has an old friend who is so desperately ill and out of money—that he got a doctor for him and had’ been nursing him himself. Those things he carried are medicines and wine that the doctor bade him buy. All he arks is to take them to his friend's room and get a nurse, then be is ready to go to camp and stand for his trial, so I told the lergeant I’d be responsible.” "Oh. thank you so much! Do see that the poor fellow isn’t punished. We’ll drive right round. Perhaps we can do something. It is Red Cross business, you -know. Good afternoon, colonel. Please tell our driver to follow them;*’ But, to ber consternation, no sooner had they started than she felt Nita’s trembling hand graspingber wrist, and turning quickly saw that she waste an almost hysterical condition. “My poor child; I had forgotten you were so worn out. I’ll take you home at once—bht then we’ll miss them en­ tirely. Oh, could you bear—7 “Ohl No! No!” moaned Nita, wring­ ing her little hands. “Take me—any­ where. No! Take me home—take me home! and promise me not to—not to tell my husband what we saw.” Women stood the test of time and has hun­ dreds of thousands of cures to ita credit ? A great many women who are ill try unknown drugs is a constant menace to their already impaired health. This seems to us very unwise, far there are remedies which, are no ex­ periments and have been known years and years to be doing only good. . Take for instance Lydia E. Pink­ ham’s Vegetable Compound; for thirty Sears its record has been one unroken chain of Success. Nd medicinn for female ills the world has ever known has such a record for cures. . will take medicines about which they really know nothing, some of which might be, and are, really harmful? while on the other hand it is easily proved that over one million women have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. We have published in the new*, papers of the United States more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been published in the interest of any other medicine. All this should, and does, produce a spirit of confidence in the hearts of women which is difficult to dislodge, and when they are'asked to take some­ thing else they say, “No, we want Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com­ pound, which has bech tried, and never found wanting/whose reliability is established far beyond the experi­ mental stage.” We have thousands of letter*like the following addressed to Mrs. Pinkham, showing that Monthly Suffering U Oontpounti, also Back* "I suffered untold agony every month and could get no relief until I tried your medicine; your letter of ad­ vice. and a few bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound have; made me the happiest woman alive. I shall bless you as long as I live.”—Miss . Joie Saul, Dover, Mich. “ Four years ago I had almost given, up hope of ever being well again. L was afflicted with those dreadful head­ ache spells which would sometimes last three or four days. Also had backache, bearing-down pains, leucon rhcea, dizziness, and terrible pains at monthly periods, confining me to my bed. After reading so many testi­ monials for your medicine, I concluded to try it. 1 began to pick up after taking the first bottle, and have con­ tinued to gain rapidly, and now feel like a different woman.- I can recom­ mend Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound in the highest terms to all sick women.”-Miss Rosa Hxlden, 126 W. Cleveland Ave.. Canton, O. Two Letters which Provo Contused next week.

The kitchen table here shown has two tops, the upper one hinged. Thia, when raised, reveals a kneading board, that is thus always kept scrupulously clean. The drawers and closets hold groceries and kitchen dishes, so that everything needed In cooking may be at hand without taking needless steps.

Tbe pantry is often inconveniently lo­ cated or too small to work comforta­ bly In. In such cases this table, lo­ cated in the kitchen, will be found of the greatest convenience. Often In old-fashioned houses, espe­ cially In farm-houses, there are a few steps leading from tbe kitchen to a back room or shed.

January 27.—Dur­ ing a period covering the last forty years Michigan has ranked as one of the leading lumber producing states in the union, and for many years It carried the broom as tbe banner state In this particular industry. During the Toledo, Jan. 29.—-They bad to turn In a riot call late Saturday night be­ fore the police could subdue Daniel Marrin, an Erie, Mich., farmer, and bls two husky sons, Israel and Oliver, lite farmer and bls sons came into town with a load of produce, and after disposing of it started together on a drinking boat Tbe father was the first to succumb, and at an Erie street saloon he started trouble. Officer Tracy tried to place him under arrest but the elder Morrln resisted. He founght the policeman to a standstill, until the latter commenced beating him with Uls dug. The father reduced to Insensibility, the patrolman was attacked by the two boy*. Three policemen and two citiaens wbo were pressed into service responded to Tra­ cy’s bistle. and the Michigan people were overpowered and locked up. At tbe police station tbe elder Morrin. who had recovered consciousness, but was bleeding profusely, offered to whip every policeman on the force If they would come at him one at a-time, with clubs barred. strides of the lumber Industry in Wis­ mark In the Michigan output was reached In 1888, the production that year aggregating 4,292,188.914 feet. Last year there was more lumber pro­ duced In Michigan than In 1898. Tbe output of pine shows a falling off, but there was a big Increase in hemlock and in hardwood lumber production. There was produced last year 1.929,8IM.135 feet of pine and hemlock lum­ ber and the total uf all kinds produced was 2428,575,135 feeL The production last year exceeded tbat of 1808 by about 170.U00.009 feet The high prices for all kinds of lum­ ber stimulated tbe production of ev­ erything available, and tbe year In all respects was one of the most prosper­ ous and satisfactory to owners of tim­ ber and lumber in the history of the industry In tbe state. While the lumber output in 1809 was. larger than in the preceding year, the quantity on hand December 1 was smaller by nearly 200.000.000 feet than at the corresponding date in IMPS. At the close of the last manufacturing season there were 012.816,931) feet of lumber In the hands of the manufac­ turers. The prospects fur the ensuing year all point to an active demand for lum­ ber products, and there is no Indira tk»n of a weakening In the matter of prices. Indeed, should conditions in the lumbering districts continue by reason of the lack of snow there is every reason to expect a still higher rauge of lumber value*. Herewith is submitted K. D.

Don’t you consider that conclusive?” Canker cleared his throat and con­ sidered as suggested. “I heard the allegation sir, but—he made so clear an explanation to me, at least, and besides, general”—a bright idea occurring to him—“you knbw that as commissary sergeant he is not under my command—” “Tut, tut, colonel,” interrupted the general, waxing impatient. “The storehouse adjoins your camp. Your sentries guard it. Capt. Hanford, the coriuniRsary. says he called on yob last night to notify you that he had placed the sergeant under art-eat, but consid­ ered .the case so grave that he asked that a sentry be placed over him, and It wasn’t done.” “I dislike very much to inflict such in­ dignity on deserving soldierii, general,” said Canker, stumbling into a self-made trap. “Until their guilt is established they are innocent under the law." “Apparently you apply a different rule in case of Officers." calmly respond­ ed the general, “vide .Mr. Gray.

Tjondon. Feb. 6.—Military opinion in London continues to assume, from very slender materials, that Gen. Sui­ tes Is again throwing his army jtgninst the Boer works. A retired general. Sir Wm. Henry Green, whose distinguish­ ed career gives weight to his opinion, thinks that Gen. Buller, with 25,000 men. is making a wide detour to the west and north in order to avoid the roughest parts of the country. No authentic word Is at hand, save that the war office reaffirmed orally to newspaper Inquirers that it could not confirm tbe reported advance. Lt is from the western field that more definite statements come. Large operations are about to begin. Gen. French, who has now returned to Ileus­ burg from bls conference with Lord Bobers, has sent wliat is described as an overwhelming force of Infantry to seize Norval’s PoInL The Boers at Colefiberg have been in danger of being surrounded by the largely reinforced and extending lines of the British. An occupation of Nor­ vol’s Point in force would presumably Tender Oolesberg untenable. The Boers are showing great activity In the Naauwport and Oolesberg districts. Many of the guns hitherto facing Lord Methuen axe believed to have gone to Norval’s Point. The war office announces that fifteen transports will be dlspdtcbeid between to-day and Monday with 13,000 troops, including the Fourth cavalry brigade, militia battalions and 3,000 yeomanry, with 258 horses and 6 guns. These 13,000 are not included lu the 180,000 due to be in South Africa on February 15. The Eighth division of 10,000 men is still available to send. The censorship seems to have com­ pletely shut down the correspondents at Spearman's Camp. No dispatch from that point appears In this morn­ ing’s papers and nothing bas been al­ lowed to Issue since Sunday evening. A dispntch to the Times from Queenstown, Cape Colony, dated Mon­ day, says, "Gen. Brabant, white ad­ dressing one of the regiments of- the colonial division on parade yesterday, eald they were leaving tbe next morn­ lag for the front, not to return, he hoped until the task intrusted to him by Lord Roberts had been successful­ ly accomplished. He could not dis­ close the plan of operations, but If bls Intentions were carried out the great­ est glutton of fighting among them would have their fill.” It la understood that tbe prize court has decided to return the £l«,000 of Transvaal gold seized last October on board the steamer Avondale Castle In Delagoa bay.

In spite of the fact that this might be hls last chance for a chat with Amy Lawrence, Gray manages to secure duty as officer of the guard, that he may have an opportu­ nity to have an interview with Morton.

However Mrs. Garrison overhearing wish of Red Cross official accomplishes the end by scrawling a note to the officer. The colonel of the regiment about to leave ar­ rives and is surprised to see hls reserved space occupied. Joining Armstrong at this momehthe shows him Mrs. Garrison’s note.

Schuyler, do Mr. Gray’s broth­ er officers really consider him in dan­ ger of dismissal?" “Miss Lawrence. I gvievc to say that not one has any other opinion now.” There could be no doubt of it.

What did they mean? All things considered, the older and wiser heads saw that, as the lieutenant could or would make no satisfactory explana­ tion of these to his colonel, he should to a court—or take the consequencea. I “You’ve made a mess of the thingand 1 an ass of yourself, Billy," was Gordon’s I _ _ , comprehensive if not consolatory summary of the matter, “and as Canker has been rapped for one thing or another 1 by camp, division and brigade com-1 manders,one after another, he feels that he’s got to prove that he isn’t the only fool in the business. You’d better em- • ploy good counsel and prepare for a fight.” \ “Can’t afford it.” said Billy, briefly, “and I’m hlowed if I’ll ask my dear old dad to come to the rescue. He’s bad tc cough up (shame on your slang,’ Billy) far too much already. I tell you, Gordon, I’m so fixed that I can’t ex­ plain these things unless I’m actually brought to trial. It’s—it’s—well, you have no secret societies at the Point as we do at college, so you can’t fathom it. I’m no mpre afraid of standing trial than I am of Squeers—and be as a bird she sprang to the ground, her fingers just touching the extended hand. Side by side they strolled away across the sunlit lawn, he so strong, virile, erect, she sb lissome and grace­ ful. Full of her purpose, yet fearful that with delay might come timidity, she looked up in his face: “CoL Armstrong, I have heard only fo^jay that Mr. Gray is in really serious danger. Will you tell me—the truth?” juat what Armstrong expected it be hard to say.. The light that bad leaped to his eyes faded slowly and bis face lost something of the flush of robust health. There was a brief pause before he spoke as though he wished time to weigh his words. ‘‘I Ifeat it is true,” he gravely said. Then in a moment: “Miss Lawrence, will you not take my arm?” And he felt her hand tremble as she placed it there. It jhis a moment before she be­ gan again. “They tell me he should have counsel, but will not heed. I have not seen him to-day. There is no one in his battalion, it seems, whom he* really looks up to. He is headstrong and self-confident. Do you think he should—that he needs one?” And anxiously the brave eyes “Good Lawd, youngster—yon. you aren’t quite such an ass aa to suppose a court is going to regard any schoolboy obligation as paremount to that which your oath of office demands. ” '* sought the strong, soldierly face. “It would seem so. Miss Lawrence.” She drew a long breath. She seemed to cling a little doser to bis arm. Then all at once. What did it mean, after all, but just what he had been thinking for a week, that the girl’s fresh young heart had gone out to thiamerry.hand­ some, soldierly lad, whom he, too, had often marked with keen appreciation when tn command of his big company at drill. What possible thought of hers could he, “more than- twice her years,” have ever hoped to win? She had come to him in her sore trouble—and her lover’s—as she would have gone to her father had he been a soldier schooled in such affairs. Armstrong pulled himself together with' quiek, stern self-com­ mand. Looking down, he saw that her eyes were filling, her lips paling, and a rush of tenderness overcame him as he sim­ ply and gently answered: “Yes, and there is no time to be lost.” All these last days, it will be remem­ bered, Mrs. Frank Garrison with pret­ ty “Cbe.ry Ripe” had found shelter at the Presidio. The palace was no place for a poor soldier’s wife, and there was no longer a grateful nabob as a possible source of income. It is doubtful indeed whether that mine could be further tapped, for the effusive brother-in-law of the winter gone by had found dis­ illusion in more ways than one. Gar­ rison, busy day and night with his staff duties, had plainly to tell his capri­ cious wife that she had come without his knowledge or consent, and that he could not* think of meeting the expense of even a two weeks’ stay in town. He could not account for her coming at alt He had left her with his own peo­ ple where at least she would be in com­ fort while he took the field. He-desired that she should return thither at once. She determined to remain and gayly tapped his cheek and bode him have no concern. She could readily find quarters, and so she did. The regu­ lar garrison of the Presidio was long since afield, but the families of most of its officers still remaineclthere, while the houses of two or three, completely furnished so far as army furnishings go, were there in charge of the post quar­ termaster. From being the temporary guests of some old friends, Mrs. Frank and her pretty companion suddenly “Armstrong will knock these charges sillu.” said Billuopened housekeeping in one of these vacated hpmes, and all her witchery was called into play to make it the most popular resori of the yopnger ele­ ment at the post. Money she might lack, but no woman could eclipse her in the dazzle of her dainty toilets. The Presidio was practically at her feet be­ fore she had been established 48 hours. Other jieoples’ vehicles trundled her oyer to camp whenever she would drive. Other peoples’ horses stood saddled at her door when she would ride. Other peoples’ servants flew to do her bidding. Women might whisper and frown, but for the present, at least, she had the men at her beck and call. Morn, noon and night she was on the go, the morn­ ings being given over, as a rule, to a gallop over the breezy heights where the brigade or regimental drills were going on, the afternoons to calls, where­ in it is ever more blessed to give than to receive—and the evenings to hops at the assembly room, or to entertain­ ing—charmingly entertaining the little swarm of officers with occasional angels of her own sex, sure to drop in and spend an hour. “Cherry” played and sang and “made eyes” at the boys. Mrs. Frank was winsome and genial and joy­ ous to everybody, and when Garrison himself arrived from camp, generally late jn the evening, looking worn and jaded from long hours at the desk, she had ever a comforting supper and smil­ ing, playful welcome for her lord, mak­ ing much of him before the assembled company, to the end that more than one callow* sub was heard to say that there would be some sense 5n marrying, by George, if a fellow could pick up a wife like Mrs. Frank. All the same the poet soon learned that the supposedly blest aide-de-camp breakfasted solus on what he could forage for himself before he mounted and rode over to his long day’s labor at Camp Merritt. Another thing was speedily apparent, the entente cordiale between her raidiant self and the Primes was at an end, if indeed it ever existed. She, to be sure, was sunshine itself when they chanced to at I camp. TKe clouds were on the-faces of the father and daughter, while Miss Lawrence maintained a serene neutral­ ity. They were lingering in ’Frisco, still hopefully, were the Primes. The de­ tectives on duty at tljpdanding stage the evening Stewart’®' regiment em­ barked, sWore that no one answering the description of either of the two young men had slipped aboard. Those in the employ of the sad old man were persistent in the statement that they had clews—-were on the scent, etc. He was a sheep worth the shearing, and so, while Mr. Prime spent many hours in consultation with certain of these socalled sleuth-hounds, the young ladies took their daily drive through the park, generally picking up the smiling rarely omittlac but whose court was ordered to sit* in judgment on him the first of the com­ ing week. Already it began to be whis­ pered that Armstrong had a mine to spring in behalf of the defense, but he! waa so reserved that no one, even Gor­ don, sought to question. “Armstrong is a trump!” said* Billy to Miss Lawrence, one fair morning. “He’ll knock those charges aiUy— though I dare say I could have formed through all right; only, you see, I couldn’t get out to find people to give evidence for me.” “Do you—see him often ?” she asked, somewhat vaguely. “Armstrong!" exclaimed BiUy, in open-eyed amaze. “Why, he's here with me every day.” “But never,” thought Miss Lawrence, “in the morning—when we are.” The eventful Monday was duly ush­ ered in, but not the court. That case never came to trial. Like the crack of a whip an order snapped in by wire on the Thursday previous—three reg­ iments, the —teenth regulars and the “Primeval Dudes,” Armstrong’s splen­ did regiment among them—to prepare for sea voyage forthwith. More than that, Gen. Drayton and staff were di­ rected to proceed to Manila at once. Two-thirds of the members of the court were from these regiments. A new de­ tail would be necessary. The general sent for Armstrong. “Can’t we try that case here and now?” he asked. “Certainly,” said Armstrong, “if1 you’ll send for Canker that he may be satisfied.” And Canker came and listened. It was admitted that Gray had had a long talk with the prisoner, took him his overcoat, newspapers, etc., but, in extenuation, they were members of the same coUege society and their social standing was, outside the army, on the same plane. Gray deserved reprimand and caution—nothing more. As to the carriage, he had nothing to do with the one that drove to camp that night. A man in the uniform of a commissary sergeant giving the name of Foley (how Canker winced) had ordered it at the stable and taught the driver “Killarn«y.” Gray had ’phoned for a carriage for himself, hoping to get the officer of the day’s permission to be absent two hours to tell his story in person to the general, who was dining with the de­ partment commander. He never got the permission, and the carriage went to the wrong camp. Lieut. W. F. Gray was released from arrest and returned to duty. "I shall never be able to thank you enough,” said he, sentimeptally, to Miss Lawrence, at the Palace that evening. They were strolling up and down the corridor, waiting, as was Schuyler, for Mildred to come down for the theater. Gray’s curly head was inclined toward the dark locks of his fair partner. His eyes were fastened on her faintly flush­ ing face. ‘ They made a very pretty pic­ ture, said people who looked on know­ ingly, and so thought the officer in the uniform of a colonel of -infantry, who, while talking calmly to Mr. Prime full 30 yards away, watched them with eyes that were full ot sadness. How could he see at that distance that her eyes, clear und radiant, were seldom uplifted to the ardent gaze of her escort, and were nt the moment looking straight at him? How could he hear nt that dis­ tance the prompt response, given with an inclination of the bbriuy head to indicate her meaning? “There’s when* your thanks are due, Mr. Gray.” _ Quite u gathering of army folks was ot the Palace that night. So many wives or sweethearts were going home, so many soldiers abroad, and Mrs. Frank Garrison, gay and gracious, passed them time and again, leaning on the arm of Capt. McDonald, a new devotee, while poor Cherry, with an enamored swain from the Presidio, languished in a dim. secluded corner. She had been recalled by parental au­ thority and was to start for Denver under a matronly wing on the morrow. Mrs. Frank had been bidden, and ex­ pected, to go at the same time, but that authority was merely marital. Up to this time not one army wife had been permitted to accompany her husband on any of the transports to Manila, though one heroine managed to get carried away and to share her liege lord's stateroom ns far as Honolulu. The general and his staff, with a big regiment of volunteers, were to sail on the morrow, the other regiments as fast Invitation Women.

Bleb delivered io addre.. ■ of more ibao ordinary Interml on tbe »nbject of taxation. B. R. Billings. Mr. Rich’s appointee as railroad commissioner, was president of tbe Institute, and tbe first part of the evening was occupied with the narration of personal observations Id Nebraska and Colorado, made by Judge Taylor, of Flint, during a trip to that section of the union last summer. Gov. Rich In his address declared em­ phatically for the repeal of the special rail­ road charters and for specific taxes on mineral products and gave his experienced view on sundry phases of the taxation problems which are now a subject of dis­ cussion In tbe state. His speech was as follows: “Taxation comes with, civilization aud unequal taxation bas existed as long as taxes have been levied. Equal taxation will come with tbe mlleunium aud not before. Equal taxation does not come entirely from failure to rax corporations enough.4or > from tbe result of Systematic tax uudgiug. .The man wbo owns real estate may be In debt for two-tblnfta of it. yet be must pay the tax on tbe whole, and when it is at­ tempted to tax the mortgage, It has never been found practicable to reduce the tax on Ute property, but to add tbe mortgage to the taxable property, and this, in many instances. Instead of relieving the owner of tbe mortgaged farm, has added to his burden by compelling him to pay the tax on tbe land, and oii the mortgage as well. “Personal property pays one tax in tbe city, another in the country and still an­ other in the villager One man living with only an imaginary line between his bouse and his neighbors on the boundary ot the city line, pays very much more tax than tbe one just over outside the city limits. These are Inequalities which have always existed and are exceedingly difficult to remedy. The illustrations might be multi­ plied. but the result Is tbe same. • The reports from the present tax com­ mission. as published tn tbe papers, show a very wide inequality ot valuation, even within the'same-township and tbe same county. In fact, It can hardly be con­ ceived as being much worse than tbe ine­ quality which appears on tbe tax roll, to say nothing of that which escapee entirely. “That the people of tbe state -uf Michi­ gan earnestly desire a radical Improve­ ment to tbe method of.k-^iying and oollect- tog taxes is bey<und question. There Is fibe question of bringing properly which escapee the tax rolls entirely on to tbe rplis, and again, of having undervalued property vwhnte at its true value, and again, of making corporations pay tbelr lull share, and other questions, all inci­ dent to this most.important one. “It is to be hoped that so far as taxes assessed to the ordinary method are con■oerned, that tbe tax commission will rem­ edy many of the existing evils by equal­ izing tbe assessed value, and by securing property which has heretofore escaped, * but It will not do to expect too much, be­ cause history will repeat itself, and past experiences show that those very promis­ ing things do net bring all that Is expected -of them. There are instances too numer­ ous too mention, where laws passed with tbe intention of reltevtog tbe debtor class, or tbe poorer class, have in effect added 40 their burdens. .WikHIHO. . man of tbe taxallM.

U a etale ha, tbe repntaOoo of being eapedally antMunlatlc Jo corporate property, the effect at It U to keeiont tke InTeatmMt ot mooey in the atate, which would prore ot a eery great nine to tbe people. “Railroads, with all tbelr sins of omtoslcu and commission, are a necessity to owr civilization, and any railroad to better than no railroad. Tbe electric roads now being built so extensively throughout the state will bring tbelr evils as have tbe art*, tern of railroads, but tbey also will bring their benefits and will become a necessity. It behooves us as business people to take a conservative, reasonable and, as near as possible, equitable course, so fnr as tbe taxation of all property Is concerned, in­ cluding the corporate property. “Tbe present system of taxing railroads to not without Its advantages. Under tbe first constitution of the state of Michigan, It was made tbe duty of the legislature to encourage Internal Improvements, and, Id otber words, for the state to build canals, run banks, etc. After tbe terrible finan­ cial experience of tbe early years of state­ hood the constitutional convention of 1850 took a very radical position in relation to internal Improvements. “Instead of encouraging them, the legis­ lature was in very decided terms forbid­ den to enter into It directly or Indirectly, exempt in tbe expenditure of appropria­ tions of swamp lands, for tbe improve­ ment of streams and highways; but tbe specific tax provision was retained^ pro­ viding for authority to levy specific tax on banks, mines, railroads and other corpora­ tions. “One of tbe most serious barriers to an equitable taxation of railroads bas been the old charter roads, which have existed for years. These charters were granted In 184(1 by the state, to corporations. In consideration of tbelr- relieving tbe state of tbe burden of running railroads, and so emphatic was public sentiment that they must be gotten rid of that tbe extraordin­ ary privileges which tbey enjoy today were then granted. “A provision was put into tbe charters, providing that after 80 years the charters might be altered, amended or repealed, provided the state paid the damage result­ ing from sqch alteration, amendment or repeal. By consolidation and in many other ways, some of the roads have prob­ ably so weakened their position under tbelr charters, that the courts wqpld de­ clare them void;' in fact; have already done so, so far as tbe Lake Shore road Is con­ cerned. but the railroads have always suc­ ceeded in preventing tbe repeg& of these charters and putting the roads un tbe ba­ sis of tbe general law for ragflroads to tbe slate. ' ■ “In the case of *Cde Michigan Central, there Is probebJty no other way to get rid ef the charter, except through the means prcuNded by the charter Itself, or by a com­ promise with the railroad along the same lines. Until this is done, no amendment to tbe constitution, nor any legislation caj affect tbe taxation upon these roads, ex­ cept by their own consent “Tbe same is true in relation to passen­ ger fares and freight charges. Tbs repeal of these charters will ooet tbe people of the state a greater or less sum when it is done, but to my judgment it Is time that these charters, now more than a half cen­ tury old, should be repealed, so that tbe roads operating under them will take their place with other railroads and be subject to the same regulations, so far as freight and passenger traffic Is concerned, and in relation to taxation. “The courts have held that they are un­ der the same police regulations now, so that question does not enter into IL When this is done, then tbe question could come up fairly, what Is the best method of taxing railroads. Under tbe present spe­ cific method, or by the supervisor, or by a board appointed to assess railroads and levy tbe tax. as was proposed to tbe Atkiueeo bill, which It was claimed would give equal taxation, but which the courts declared unconstitutional. “Tbe provision In tbe resolution for amending section 11 of article 14 of tbe constitution, before the special session of the legislature, reads as follows: “The legislature may classify cor­ porations for the purpose of taxation, and tbe property to each class shall be assessed, and the tax thereon uniform­ ly levied to such manner as tbe legis­ lature shall direct." "This is the pith of the whole article, and, as you will note, provides for differ­ ent rates of taxation, or, at least, that dif­ ferent rates may be legally levied, so bad thia resolution been submitted to, and adopted by tbe people, there would have been no requlrment that taxation be equal, but, on the contrary, there is an express permission to make them unequal. Thia would allow tbe fixing of one rate for rail­ roads. another for telegraph oompanlee, BMllMr * “*— *-—•— for mines, and*-----------another --for *'banks, etc. largo profits, pay oorroaoondtngly blgMr earns. Tbe railroads report monthly to made it poaunte w districts where oiberwlre . . roads reports the amount of earnings io tbe auditor general, and the auditor gener­ al notifies tbe railroads of the amount of taxes due and they pay It to the state M vim It and then U bo 1cm ot tbe amount levied. “There to no discretionary power be­ tween the corporations and tbe payment of tbelr taxes, which tbey can influence for tbelr own benefit as corporations have tbe reputation of doing. To be sure, tbelr in­ fluence may be exercised upon the legisla­ ture in regard to tbe enactment of the laws, but when tbe tow to once fixed, there la no one who has any power to relieve them. The tax must be paid. Objection Is raised to this method, be­ cause rail roads are assessed upon their earntogs while other property Is assessed upon Its •value. There are certain objec­ tions to this, but tbey are not serious as many believe. -In the first place, the legislature meets once in two years, and if acting intelli­ gently and honestly, can regulate the rate of taxation so as to bring practically tbe same result as Is done by the xaseaeora in other cases. Then, taxation based oo earnings is not so different from that based on value as would appear at first thought The basis of tbe value of any property Is its earnings, real or prospect­ ive. . .- “ no «b"ff 1____ ar.»s fnr artnt OL BlMUeV Mato tad do «veryttii0K |Q bto poVer t0 Bd,.DW> “ because after you have distributed enough SSSmTor tMto*.MtoMW!»* iX' to io loto the .taw tax ,oor .tite tax .nd ralw loot .ebool tax by' local taxation where It can be watched and wntrolied more closely by tbe peo- bnrloBln.

As all the people contribute to the maintenance and earnings of tbe railroad, all tbe people should share to the benefits of tbe taxes paid by railroads as they do under the present law. “Some of the larger cities claim that on account of tbe police and fire protec­ tion furnished by the city, the railroads should pay tbelr proportion of tbe city tax. lids, however, noticeable that any elty, at any time, is not only willing to waive its asserted right to order to get railroad facilities, but to also pay a sub* stantial bonus In addition.

Digestion is, de­ ranged, and tbe languid, exhausted feel­ ings of spring esuae misery to the body. There is only one means of making the blood pure, and that it through tbe kidneys and liver—tbe filters of the blood. By acting directly on these delicate organs.

Tbe apologetic feeling as tn the state administration was in sharp cofltraat with the enthusiasm shown over the national government.

They were actually beginning to feel a bit charitable toward her when the Queen of the Fleet herself came in Honolulu with the latest news. The fifth expedi­ tion had been halted, there and put in camp. The hospital held several of­ ficers. Billy Gray was down with brain fever, and there had been a furious scene between him and his peppery colonel before the breakdown; and by that same steamer Mrs. Garrison had got a letter that had made her turn white and tremble, as Mrs. Stockman saw and told, and then shut herself up in her room an entire day. Now for nearly a fortnight the lovely guest had been daily hinting that she realty must go home, “dear Witchie” was surely tired of her; and Witchie disclaimed and protested and vowed she oould not live without her devoted friend. But then had come that letter and with it a change of tone and tactics. Witchie ceased to remonstrate or reprpre Mrs. Stockman,- and the latter felt that she must go, and Witchie consented with­ out demur. In no pleasant mood Armstrong mounted and trotted for the east gate. The road was lined with camps and vol­ unteers at drill. Vehicles were fre­ quently moving to and fro; but the sentry at the entrance had kept track of them, and in response to question answered promptly and positively Mrs. Garrison's carriage had not come that way. “But," said he. “the wagon with the lady’s baggage did. I saw the name on the trunks." The colonel turned in saddle and coolly surveyed him. “Do you mean Mrs. Stockman’s name?” he asked, in quiet tone. “How many trunkb were there?" . “Oh, some of them might have had Mrs. Stockman’s name, air; but the two or three that I saw were marked M. G.” This was unlooked-for news. To her next-door neighbor Mrs. Garrison had said nothing qbout going away with Mrs. Stockman, and Armstrong had grave need to see her and to see her at once.

Sunday, Dec. 24. 1899. It dees uot seem possible to me that to­ morrow will be Christmas day. And It is equally hard to realize that you are now in mid-winter and probably to-day are around the fire, the weather out-of-doors being cold and very uncomfortable. To-day the weather is- fine, as it has been ever since we have been down here. The nights continue to be very cool. Last night I had all of the windows in my room closed but the outside door was open, and before morning I bad to get In under the blanket. On my trip up the coast a few days ago I slept on deck under the deck roof and nearly every night when I turned tn I put one blanket over me, while before morn­ lag I bad to get under a second blanket If the climate keeps like this it will be a very comfortable place in which to live. As 1 promised in the short letter that 1 mailed to you a few days ago I will give you a description of my recent trip, and something of what I have been doing since I eame asbore from the City of Peking on lhe afternoon of the ninth of this month. Suuday morning, the 10th, I spent all of my time getting requisitions ready to go to Manila. The next day a company was to start for Cottobatto east of here on the coast, They were to take station there. So the General told me that he wanted me to go on the ship with them and make an investigation relative to the number of available cattle at that point for the sup­ ply of beef to the troops. Later I was sent up to Davao. There were no cattle here and it was rumored that at the two places just mentioned there were a good many. As the ship was to sail at day­ light on the morning of the 11th. I packed my grip and with it, my cot and a small roll of bedding, 1 went aboard the ship on the afternoon of the 10th. 1 found the ship, the Cburruca, to be rather small but the accommodations were very good, and she proved to be a good sailer and quite fast All her state-rooms are below toe upper deck, and I was glad that I had my bedding with me, for I could sleep on deck and thus avoid the warmth of the state-rooms. These rooms bad at the moat oily two small ports and there was not much chance for the cool br»«eze of the night to get Inalde, The officers of the ship were Spaniards and the crew Filipino. The meals were cooked and served lu the Spanish style. In the morning at any bout one could get coffee and a roll or crackers, or in lieu of the coffee, chocolate. A second* cup of choco­ late oust extra, but all the coffee one wantnou?®3 not chtrKe<i extra for. At about be3rtT malcf*at WBS Herved- This was a . The arai eORrjy the same platter: the third, meat of some kind; the fourth, meat: tbe fifth, fish; ibe sixth, meat (usually beef-eteak); the seventh, guava jelly, bananas, cheese, and sometimes cake; the last, coffee. At about sixt o’clock dinner was served and this was a repetition of the breakfast ex­ cept that something else took tbe place of tbe soup, and was generally an omelete. With nearly every meat a small quantity of vegetables was served on tbe same platter. But there was not enough vege­ tables lu the whole meal to hurt any one. A fresh plate was put before each-one for each course, and tbe knife and fork was changed. But to accomplish this last ef­ fect It was oeceasary for the waiter to take one’s knife and fork from the table and wloe it off on a cloth. As tbe knife and fork of each one at the table was wiped off on one of two cloths and the cloths were also used by tbe waiters to wipe tbelr hands or faces, and for other purposes around the table 1 preferred to keep my own knife and fork by tbe side of my plate during tbe whole of tbe meal. This way of cleaning kalvee and forks is a oom­ moo one In this country and seems to be a universal custom. The cooking was fairly good and I soon accustomed myself to tbe peculiar flavors of the most of tbe dishes. In order to be provided with meat tbe ship carried live chickens, cattle, pigs, and so forth. Before the trip was ended our fare got to be pretty slim in some respects. The supply of meat kept up bnt we bad no bananas or jelly and no vegetables at all. Strange as it may seem they were unable to procure fruit at Cottobatto or Davao. The price of board on the ship was93.00 Mex. per day, a second or more cups of chocolate In tbe morning costing extra, a cap being 20 cents Mex. At five o'clock in the morning of tbe 11th, the company of the 8lst that was to go up began to get the'r stuff aboard the ship. And at 6:80 we sailed. There were aboard, the major who was to command the troops at Cottobatto, Brett, the captain and lieutenants of the company, the bat­ talion adjutant, and tbe doctor for the bat­ talion. I bad a man with me for interpre­ ter, and there was ‘ a newspaper corres­ pondent aboard. The General had been at Cottobatto some time before this and bad bad a con­ ference with tbe leaders there regarding the sending of troops to tbe place. He had also preceded ns to the same place and we found the Manila there watting for as. This la a warship oo ddty In these waters and she had been cruising around with the General. We arrived at the mouth of the Rio Grande de Mindanao, on which stream the town of Cottobatto is situated, at about 6:39 in tbe evening of the same day. We anchored not tar from the Manila and the major and 1 went over to tbe Manila to see tbe Genera). I bad aotblng special to see him for but just went along with Brett. Th? General said that tbe people there were very friendly. After the Spaniards left, several months age, tbe Chinamen wbo were in business there banded to­ gether and hired vigilantes (as they call a civil police) to protect tbe town and look after tbe security of property. Later representatives of tbe ao-caited Filipino government in Luzon came to the town and took charge of thinga. They levied texes and collected them. Tbe taxes were WHOLE NO. 2324. HASTING!, MICHIGAN, FEBRUARY 22,1900. levied on the rich and poor alike, land if one was not able to pay he was promptly disposed of by being put to death. The Chinamen, or Chinos as they are called out here, got tired of thia and at last the Cap­ tain Chino sent to Da’o Plang, the atrongeet Moro chief in that district, and asked f°r £l® ,ld ln <etUn< ^0® under the hands of the Filipinos. The Dato with commen­ dable celerity at once entered the town, arrested the obnoxious tax-gatherers and promptly beheaded them. This summary action stopped any further advances of the Filipino cause in that vicinity. and re­ sulted in putting things into the hands of the Dato Plang and the Captain Chino. Both of these men were very anxious for the American troops to arrive and bad asked some time before this that the Gen­ eral sand troops there as soon as possible. While wo were aboard the Manila, Beeve, one of the General’s aids, read to us two wen written and very grammatical letters from the Chinos In which this story was related. These letters the General bad recelvpd before going to Cottobatto. The General was also Informed that there was back In the country a band of about thirty insurrectofl aud bad Moros, who might at­ tempt to make trouble, but that lbs rest of the people were very friendly. The Dato Plang is said to absolutely control about 20.000 Moros. The General told Brett that he bad arranged for a small steamer that was then at the town to come down io the morning and tow his men and rations up the river. The town of Cottobatto is about six miles up the Rio Grande and Iles on its left bank. The river flows east from the mountains. At the time we were Were it was impossible for the Cburruca to go up to the town owing to the fact that the bar at the principal mouth did not give a sufflctent depth of water. Once across the bar there is plenty of water, and the river is said to be navigable for some sixty miles. It is distant from this place 140 miles. From the month of the river to the town We country Is impassible. There Is a large delta that cuts We country up, and in addition to this the land is low and wet and the forest Is on each side from the month up for three or four miles absolute­ ly impenetrable. So that once at the town it Is necessary to get to the ocean by means of boats. While I was there the General wanted me to go with the Churrnea to the town of Davao and there make inquiries about cat­ tle. The captain of the ship wanted to go to this place to discharge bls cargo of rice and pick np anything he could for a re­ turn cargo. It was therefore decided that the ship was to go np and to return to Oottobatto for any cattle that I might buy there. Before 1 left the town I found that there were plenty of cattle and in good, healthy condition and they said that they would have a bunch of fifty ready for me when we returned from Davao. The Cap­ tain said that be would be able to get back about the 16th and that the moon would be full, giving a high tide so that he could cross We bar and get his ship up to the town. The next morning, the 12tb, we got up at daylight to be ready for the arrival of the little steamer that tEF'tloops and stores. In this we were disappointed for she did not get down un­ til about eleven in the morning. In the meantime we waited aboard the Cburruca. About 6:30 in the morning we saw Dato Plang so by on his way to make a call on the General. The Dato was in a canoe about forty feet long and filled' with row­ ers except in the center where was a small staff flying We American flag, and to We near of Wls staff was a raised plat­ form on which was the figure of the Date. He was clothed in a gorgeous suit of gilt and red trousers and coat, and around bls waist was a gold belt about two inches wide. On bls feet was nothing and upon his bead was a dirty red cloth wound as a turban. He was seated on a pillow of some kind. Just to the rear of where he was seated was a small but In I be canoe. Ou both sides of his canoe and trailing along In the rear of it were about twenty canoes filled evidently with bls followers. Boon after be went by we saw the canoe of the Sultan of that district pass by on its way for the Sultan to call on the General, There was no American flag In this canoe but from the staff In the center was flying the Sultan’s flag made up of two broad stripes of red and white cloth with some sort of figure worked in the field. And to the rear of this flag on on each side of the canoe were two small flags ot red and white stripes. In addition to this the General received that day • number of the minor Dates. All were acoom pauled by a retinue of followers. Dato Is the name given to a political chief. For his followers be has political jurisdiction. The Sultan of Mladtneo Is subordinate to the Sultan ot Jolo^and both are religions leaders. Of course a strong Saltan gains more or less of political influ­ ence. And the Sultan of Sulu, or Jolo, has tremendous political Influence. In the vicinity of Cottobatto the chief power is held by Dato Plang. He Is oy birth what Is called a mestizo Chino, that la, he is born of Chinese and Moro blood. This Is one reason for bls great friendliness to ward the Captain Chino in Cottobatto. In every town here there Is among the chinos one wbo has jurisdiction over all of them and to such a one is given the title of Cap tain Chino. The Captain Chino at Cottobatto Is a vary Intelligent man. He Is dignity personified and seems to be a very shrewd and level-beaded man. He sneaks Spanish but not English. Dato Piang If a small man with a bright and cunning eye. He nearly always has a smile on his face and seems to enjoy a joke areally. He la a dirty looking Cello w, small In stature, always barefooted. «mokes cigars continually and has the ever present black teeth of the Moro. All the natives here chew the betel nut and the Moros blacken tbelr teeth. I was very sorry that I did not have a camera there to get a picture of the varione things that I saw that morning. About nine o’clock the launch of the Manila came alongside. Several of the officers of the Manila were aboard and they invited Major Brett to go with them up to the town. The Major Invited me to go along. Bo I took the reporter with me to Interpret for me and went up to.see the town and at the same time to find out what I could about the beef question. On toe way up we were all fery much interested In watching the wild monkeys (Continued on fourth page.) HAS LIVED 100 YEARS WILL!AM GRIFFIN, OF HASTINGS, accident occurred just shore island No. 10.

Last summer Mr. Griffin helped in threshing and still enjoys good health. His life should be a terrible warning to al) users of tobacco. Mr. Griffin began to realize the killing effects four years ago and quit chewing tobacco after a continuous use of the filthy weed for 80 years. He still risks the danger of being cut down in the prime of life by smoking. i ! William Grifflu was born In CarnarbonNorth Wales, Feb. 22nd, 1800, and 85 years later came to this country with a companion named Bob Jones, believing 'that it afforded greater opportunities for a young man than the land of bls birth. Landing at New York he went through New Jersey, then on to Philadelphia, Pittsburg,, and stopping at Cincinnati. From the latter city be took a trip across Kentucky on foot. To the Banner re­ porter the old gentleman related bls ex­ periences In a most interesting manner showing that despite bis age, he still re­ tains bls mental vigor to a remarkable de, gree. His experience in Kentucky and other slave states be relates with special hospitality of the people, who would ac­ cept no pay for either meals or lodgings, whereas In all free states people would take advantage of his inexperience In money matterB and tack on big prices. He finally drifted back to Chicago. His experience in Chicago is especially noteworthy, considering its remarkable growth. When be landed there a log tav­ ern stood near the Fort (Fort De shorn, now in the heart of the city.) While walking around the little burg, which was terribly muddy, he met an old man stand­ ing near a gate poet in front of his small frame bouse. The old man wanted to sell out badly and get away, and offered his 40 acre farm for 9250. Mr. Griffin prompt­ ly told him that, be “wouldn’t take bls farm as a gift.’’ Right In front of the bouse was a big frog pond on which dueke and geese were swimming In seeming con­ tent menu This land is now in the heart of 1 Chicago and worth millions ot dollars. ;Several years ago Mr. Griffin visited the ,city and the land that he “wouldn’t take as a gift’’ was covered with immense Jan. 80tb, 1884, Mr. and Mrs. Griffin joined the Methodist church in this city, and have been faithful members.

Leaving the town we rode dowh an avenue of cocoanut trees which were about four years old. They were not so tall but that the foliage made shade along tbe road, and the view, down this avenue was very fine. Outside the town we soon went up on a ridge which gave us a good view of tbe surrounding country. The town Itself is of course on the low ground of tbe valley of the river, and this valley is very broad and very fer­ tile. It stretches away to the west as far as the eye can reach. Here Is splendid country for rice and the oocoanut trees. They raise at present more rice there than Is needed for the inhabitants of tbe Im­ mediate country. Up on this ridge I found quite a bunch of cattle. They are very much like our Jerseys, both as to size aud appearance, except that the color is generally darker. The carlbao are very plentiful in this section, and with the herd that we saw were many of the white birds that are to be always found with tbe cariboo when they are grazing. These birds stay on tbe backs of tbe earlbao Tbe latter is a very homely animal but the beauty of tbe birds compensates for tbe lack of beauty in the cariboo. These lat­ ter are a species of cattle that look a little in form like tbe buffalo. They are of doll gray color and are very homely critters. They are used as tbe beasts of burden throughout tbe islands,' About 2:30 the Sabina came up with the troops and their baggage. There was do ceremony connected with the troops com­ ing Into tbe town. It was raining very hard when they got up there, but as soon as |bc rain ceased the work of unloading was begun at once. Tbe public buildings were in fairly good condition but they were very dirty. They had to occupy them as they were and do the cleaning af­ terward. I saw tbe Captain Chino and In tbe talk with bim found that I could buy cattle there for five and one-half cents a pound bn the boot, Mex. 1 arranged w* him to have some cattle ready for me when we got back from Davao. And we expected to be back- there on tbe 18th. About 4 o’clock the reporter and I went down tbe river in tbe boat of the captain of tbe ship and were about two hours gut­ ting down. About six o’clock we sailed for Davao. Tbe next day we were at sea. Tbe day was fine but about noon it got quite rough. We soon ran into smooth water again. About 8 we arrived off Davao. Tbe cap­ tain blew bis whistle to announce tbe ar­ rival of tbe ship. He told me that be did not know tbe feeling of the inhabitants and be wished that I would not appear on deek in my uniform until he bad an oppor­ tunity to find out bow tbe natives felt to­ ward the Americans. It was dark when we got there. No one came off at once. I finally turned lu. About one o'clock I was awakened by a ball from the ship. Rising up on my cot I saw Dot far from tbe ship two canoes that had several people In them. After some talking that I oould not understand, the gangway was lowered and tbe men in tbe canoes were allowed to come aboard tbe ship. They went back to shore in a short time and 1 turned over and went to steep. 1 found out In tbe morning that tbe men who bad come aboard were the former school-master of tbe place and three men of the than civil guard. They all had arms with them. The men of tbe civil guard had rifles that probably bad not been fired In several years. When tbe school-master was BHOUARD. Mr. McRae ot Colorado is visiting asked by tbe people on tbe ship why they came out armed, he replied that he did not friends in this vlcinty. There was an Ice cream social at Mr. know but that tbe ship bad armed troops Hall's last week Friday evening for tbe aboard. benefit of the South Pine Sunday school. The next morning while 1 was dressing There will be a box social at Almon in my room, tbe captain came down and Farr’s next week Wednesday evening, asked me again not to go on deck in my Feb. 28. uniform. But before I was dressed he Messrs. W.

But before starting out we found ourselves pretty hungry and were given a nice lunch of omelet, chocolate and sweet cakes io the bouse of the Captain Chino. I found the town to be much in need of repair. It ,s ■mlUI and few Inhab­ itants outside of tbe chinos. We went In­ to one bouse which was occupied by tbe oldest Inhabitant.

At Davao, Cottobatto, as well as here, the drinking water is all obtained from the streams that run through the towns. I dined aboard tbe Manila that even­ ing. The captain of the shipped jaid at Davao that be could not get away, from there so as to reach this place before the 18th. Tbe General was very anxteos for us to get back here sb be wanted to go up to Manila on the Cburruca. That evening the Manila left.__ I did not go ashore again while we were at Davao. The first day 1 found that there were plenty of cattle there and that we could get what we might need al any time In three or four days, it was tbe fourth day before tbe Cburruca was ready to leave. On Sunday afternoon the load­ ing was completed end the merchants came aboard to settle up with tbe super­ cargo. It was about four o’clock In tbe afternoon when we got under way to return to Cottobatto. r In the evening of the 18th we arrived at the mouth of the Kio de Grande and tbe captain at once started up the river. The moon was full and w$ were able get over the bar without any trouble. We got up to tbe town at about 8:30. As we bad promised to be back there on tbe 16th and It was now the evening of the 18tb, they bad begun to worry about us. Tbe ship tied up to tbe beak of tbe river at the town. I went aabore and went up to see Major Brett. I found bim in bed asleep and it took some time to get bim awake. Poor fellow, be bad green working constantly night and day ever since 1 bad left there and was just about worn out. But tbe captain said that be wanted to start down tbe river at 6:30 in tbe morning in order to get over the bar before tbe tide went out so there was nothing else to do but to waken the Major and transact all our business that night 1 found that be had some reports that he wanted to send down here. While be was gefting these things ready 1 went out to find out about tbe cattle that I bad arranged for. I found that they were waiting for me but that they were oo an island outside the river. Before tbe General had gone to Davao, be had been to a town about aa hour’s ride from Cottobatto. Tbe town is called Pollock. Here be had been most gladly welcomed. And at Davao be told me that he found tbe streets at Pollock all deeorated with palms and the roadways swept. They bad also fired a salute to him of forty guns and others that they did not count The General at Davao gave me some Instructions to give to Brett regarding tbe occupation of Pollock by tbe latter as soon the rest of his battalion arrived at Cottobatto.

A Pound to a Grain Is wha,t this grocer is telling an inquiring customer: Yes. Madam. this is just one of the little details that have made Chase & Sanborn’s Coffees famous everywhere. This can. as you see. is one of the pound cans that contains their. Seal Brand Coffee. You will notice that the contents weigh exactly one pound to a grain. They have a machine that weighs this to the most minute accuracy.” Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Allen, of Lansing, Mr. and Mrs. Noel Rice, of Milwaukee, Wis., are visiting relatives in the city and vicinity. Chase & Sanborn’s High Grade Coffees Mr.land Mrs. Dan Shnfelt, of Eaton Rapids, are tbe guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Smith. Every bean of Coffee sold by Chase fit Sanborn comes from coffee plantations that are famous for the crop of berries that they raise — then loo. every grain is selected by experts, roasted by experts, packed and handled by experts, so it reaches the consumer as near perfect It'is possible. Insist on your grocer giving you Chase & Sanborn's Coffees if you would have pure coffee; that is the beet, no matter whether you buy their Seal Brand or any one; o' thair high coffees which come In richly colored, parchrhenMined, Im] bags. The fact that Chase & Sanborn's Seal and name stands behind their coffees is a sufficient guarantee of superiority. and Mrs. Thomas Heney expect to make an extended trip through Europe, leaving about April 16.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Down Pains, Eto, “ I had falling, inflammation and ulceration of the.womb; backache, bearing-down pains; was so weak and nervous that I could ’ not do my own work: had sick headache, no appetite, numb spells. hnnds and feet cold all the time. I had good doctors, but none of them did me any good. Through the' advice of a lady friend 1 began the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and after taking one bottle I felt greatly relieved, and by tbe time I had used several bottles was completely cured, ao that I could do my work again. I am now parsing through the change of. life and using your Compound. It helps me wonderfully. I want every suffer­ ing woman to know what your medi­ cine has done for me.’’—Mrs. , W. M. Bull. New Palestine, Mo. • “ Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound saved my life and gave back a loving mother to eleven children, which was more than any doctor could have done or any other medicine in the wide world. My trouble was child­ bed fever. The third day after mv babe wax born I took a chill, which was fol lowed by a high fever. I would perspire until my clothes were as wet as though dipped in a tub of water. The chills and fever kept up .for three <laya. My daughter got me a bWtle of your Compound.

CHAPTER VIII.—The story goes back to the summer of ’87, when the "Fairy Sis­ ters ' (Mrs. Garrison and Nita Terris) were the sensation at West Point Mrs. Garrison warned Nita against accepting attentions of young Latrobe, a cadst who was shortly to graduate, insisting she must marry money. A card is handed Mrs. Garrison—"Mr. Gouveneur Prime.” CHAPTER IX.—•’Gov." Prime had fallen Into a mad infatuation for Mrs. Garrison, though she was married and several years his senior. He had been abroad for a time, but now unexpectedly returned. A letter about this time from Latrobe intend­ ed for Nita fell Into Mrs. Garrison’s hands, and, to break up what was already an en­ gagement. took her sister west. A few months later Nita married Col. Frost. On thia announcement Latrolw* suddenly dis­ appeared. Now, too, Mr. Prime, learning of his son’s attentions to a married woman, became angry, whereupon ^XIov.’’ left home. Months later Mr. Prime got word of his sen’s cullotmer.t and traced him to Ban Francisco, but without finding him. CHAPTER X.—During the Frosts hon­ eymoon, Mrs. Frost received In Wash­ ington a note from Latrobe, who swore he would follow her until granted an In­ terview. Then the war broke out Frost was assigned to duty ..In the Philippines, and he took his wife as far as Hong-Kong. While in San Francisco he learned of his wife's previous attachment to Latrobe. CHAPTER XT.—Col. Armstrong gets from Adit. Gordon the story of Morton, and concludes that the young recruit (and now a deserter) Is "Gov.” Prime, and that Latrobe, nephew of Gen. Drayton, Is prob­ ably with him. Canker has been ordered to have sentry taken from Gray’s tent and to nave one placed over Bergt. Foley, a fa­ vorite of Canker, but Foley Is already miss­ ing. Armstrong as a personal favor to herself to be Gray’s counssl. Before Gen. Drayton and Col. Canker he clearly disproves all charges. CHAPTER Xin.—Canker's realment had sailed, and with it Billy Gray. At Hono­ lulu Canker accuses Gray of bavlna stolen the packet of letters from Gen. Drayton’s tent in San Francisco. Then Gray was taken with brain fever and had to be left at Honolulu. Col. Armstrong Is advised of an this, and roes In search of Mrs. Gar­ rison, but that lady is already aboard a de­ parting transport. CHAPTER XIV.—Id mld-October the “Queen of tbe Fleet” was sailing out from Honolulu. Mrs. Garrison had secured the exceptional prlvDere of sailing with her. had nursed Lieut. Gray back to health, and be In turn had fallen a victim to her charms and designs. Late one night Col. Armstrong had found them together. She was saying: "Do as I say: do as Ibex you when we reach Manila, and see how I can reward." CHAPTER XV. Manila nt last! Queen city of the archipelago, and Manila again be­ sieged! The loveliest of the winter months was come. The Luneta and the Paseo de Santa Lucia, close to the sparkling waters, were gay every even­ ing with the music of the regimental bands and thronged with the carriage* of old-time residents and their new And not too welcome visitors. Spanish dames and damsels, invisible at other hours, drove or strolled along tbe road­ way to enjoy the cool breezes that swept in from the beautiful bay and take wistful peeps at tbe dainty toilet* of the American.beilex bow arriving by every boat from Hong-Kong. All the Caatilian disdain they might look and possibly feel toward the soldiery of Uncle Sam gave place to liveliest inter­ est and curiosity when the wives and daughters of his soldiers appeared upon the scene; and there was one car­ riage about which, whenever it stopped, a little swarm of officers gathered and toward which at any time all eyex were directed—that of the White Sistera. Within the old walled city and in the crowded districts of Bimondo, Quiapo and San Miguel north of the Pasig, and again in Paco and Ermita to the south, strong regiment* were stationed in readiness to suppress tbe first sign of the outbreak so confidently predicted by the bureau of military intelligence. In a great semicircle of over 20 miles, girdling the dty north, east and south, the outposts and sentries of the two divisions kept watchful eyes upon We insurgent forces surrounding them. Aguinaldo and his cabinet at Malolos to the north had all but declared war upon the obstinate possessors of the city and had utterly forbidden their leaving the lines of Man! Il and seeking to penetrate those broadeixfields and roads and villages .without. Btjll hug­ ging to its breast the delusion that a semi-Malay^ian race could be appeased by show of philanthropy, the govern­ ment at Washington decreed that, de­ spite their throwing up earthworks against and training gtfns on the American positions, the enemy should be treated as though they never could or would be hostile, and the privileges denied by them to American troops were by the American troops qccorded to them. Coming and going nt will through our lines, they studied our force, our arms, equipment, numbers, supplies. met bixin: and long before the Christmas hells had clanged their greeting to that universal feast day, and the boom of cannon ushered In the new year, all doubt of the hostile senti­ ments of the insurgent leaders had van­ ished. . Already there had been ominous clashes at the front; and with every day the demeanor of the Philippine officers and men became more and more In­ solent and defiant. Ceaseless vigilance and self-control were enjoined uj*on tlie soldiers of the United States, nearly all stalwart volunteers from the far west, and while officers of the staff and of the half-dozen regiments quartered with­ in the dty were privileged each day to stroll or drive upon the Lancto, there were others that never knew an hour away from the line ef the outposts and their supports. Such was the case with Stewart’s regiment far out toward the waterworks at the east. Such was the case with the Primeval Dudes on the other side, of the Pasig.,lining the banks of the crooked estuary that formed the Rubicon We were forbidden' to cross. Such was the cage with Canker and the —teenth in the dense bamboo thicket to the south, and so it happened that at first Armstrong and Billy Gray saw nothing of each other, and but little of the white Sisters, probably a for? tunate thing for all. Ever since that memorable night on the Queen of the Fleet, Gray had stu­ diously avoided his whilom friend and counselor, while the latter’s equally studious avoidance of Mra. Garrison had become observed throughout the ship. The dominion and power of that little lady had been o^ brief duration, as .was to be expected in the case of a woman who had secured for her undi­ vided^ use the best, the airiest, and by far the largest room on the steamer— a cabin? de luxe indeed, that for a week’s voyage on an Atlantic liner would have cost a small fortune, while here for a sea sojourn of .more than double the time under tropic skies, and while other and worthier women were sweltering three in a stuffy box below, it had cost but a smile. The captain had repented him of his magnanimity before the lights of Honolulu faded out astern. The general began to real­ ize that he had been made a cat’s-paw of and. hi* amour propre being wound­ ed-, be had essayed, for a day or two majestic dignity of mien that became comical when complicated with the qualms of seasickness. There was even noticeable aversion on part of some of the officers of the Dudes who, having made the journey from ‘‘the bay” to Honolulu with the women passengers, army wives and Red Cross nurses, nat­ urally became th* recipient* of the views entertained by these ladles. Quick to see if slow to seem to sec, Mrs. Frank has lost no lime in begging one of the young soldier wives to share her big stateroom and broad and comfort­ able bed, aud the lady preferred the heat and discomfort between decks to separation from her friend. Then Mrs. Garrison tendered both the rurtof her cabin during the day and evening; sug­ gested, indeed, that on hot nights they come and sleep there, one on the bed and* one on the couch; and they thanked her, but—never came. She coddled- the general with cool champagne cup when he was in the throes of mal de mer, and held him prisoner with her vivacious chatter when he was well enough to care to talk. But. after all, her most serious trouble seemed to consist. in keeping Billy Gray at respectful dis­ tance. He sought her side day after da;fc to Armstrong’s mild amaze, as has been said; and when he could not be with her was moodf. even fierce and ugly tempered-—he whose disposition had been the sunniest in all thatfcray, shivery, dripping sojourn at the San Francisco camp. But once fairly settled in Manila, the White Sisters seemed to regain all the old ascendency. GoL Frost, had taken a big, cool, roomy house, surrounded by spacious grounds, down in Malate and close to the plashing waters of the bay. Duties kept him early and late at hit office in the walled city; but every evening, after the drive and din­ ner, callers came thronging in. and all Witchie’s witcheries were called into play to charm them into blindness and tx» corer Nita’s fitful and nervous moods, now almost painfully apparent. Frost’s face was at times a thunder­ cloud, and army circles within <he outer circle of Manila saw plainly that all waa not harmony betwixt that veteran Benedict and that fragile, fluttering, of that sisterly wing. Prank Garriron had been occupying a room under the gates. There were tramps, even in Ma­ same roof whh his general, but both nila, she said. Whan the sisters drove, general and aide-de-camp were now their natty little Filipino team flashed much afield, and Frank spent far more through the lanes and streets at top days and nights along the line nf block­ speed, the springy victoria bounding houses than he did at home. The com­ at their heels to the imminent peril of ing of his wife was unannounced and the cockaded hats of tbe dusky coach uterly unlooked for. “Did I consult and footman, if not even to the seats of my husband!” she exclaimed in sur­ those trim, white-coated, big-buttoned, prise, when asked the question one day top-booted, impassive little Sponiahby tbe wife of a veteran field officer. bred servitors.

Many sudden deaths are caused by it—heart disease, pneumonia, heart failure or apoplexy are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is allowed to ad­ vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell. Then the richness of the blood—the albumen —leaks out and the sufferer has Bright’s Disease, the worst form of kidney trouble.

CRUSHED BY A DERRICK OKU MAN KILLED ASD ANOTHKR DYIWO AS Tira RESULT OF AS ACCTOEJTT AT DETROIT. TWO OTHERS NARROWLY EISCAPETD • The fond mother dreams great dreams of baby’s future as she holds the sleeping littie one in her arms. But the dreams will never come true unless she has given him a strong body and a healthy mind. Children die in hosts, or live to struggle through life feeble of body and dull of mind because the mother was unfit physically and mentally for moth­ erhood. ' Women who use Dr. Pierce’s favorite Prescription endow their chil­ dren with strong "bodies and bright minds. K is every mother’s duty to give her chili} the advantages of a healthy body and mind. A weak or sickly woman cannot do this. « Favorite Prescription” makes weak women strong and sick women well. INJURY. Detroit, March X—One man Is dead and another lies at the pplnt of death as the result of an accident at the foot of Hastings street late Friday after­ noon. Two others narrowly escaped In­ jury. Four carpenters had been em­ ployed by the Lake Shore company io remove a large derrick, and It was the Intention to erect another in its stead. The men bad been at work for some time and were preparing to allow the derrick to fall In a certalp manner id tbe ground. For this purpose it was necessary to remove some irons, and this was done with all due caution. Arthur Pidswell. an Adrian carpen­ ter, was foreman of the workmen, and he was assisted by William E. Craw­ ford, of Pittsford, Mich., and two oth­ ers. They had: removed many of the obstructions and were about to lower the large arm of the derrick when there was a sudden cracking and in another moment the whole affair was toppling to the ground. Mrs. Orrin Stiles, of Downing, Dnnn Co-.Wla..

Tbe Koarsarge, the largest and most powerful warship owned by tbe United States, is to become tbe flagship of the worth Atlantic squadron, to take tbe place of tbe cruiser New York.

Preparations I are being made at tbe Brooklyn navy yard to make tbe change, an order with this ob­ ject in view having been received from Washington.

When we ac­ quired Porto Rico there was not a school boose on tbe island built for school pnrposes.

Obligation* of the War. “After thirty-three years of unbroken peace came an unavoidable war. Happily the conclusion was quickly reached with­ out a suspicion of unworthy motive of practice or purpose on our Dart and with fadeless honor to our arms. I cannot forget tbe quick response of tbe people to the country’s need and tbe quarter of a million men wbo freely offered their lives to their country. It was an impres­ sive spectacle of national strength, it demonstrated our mighty reserve power and taught us that large standing armies are unnecessary when every citizen is a ‘minute man,’ ready to Join tbe ranks for national deSense. Out of these recent events have come to the United States grave trials and responsibilities. As it was the nation’s war, so are its results tbe nation’s problem. Its solation rests upon us all. It Is too earnest for repose. No phrase or catch-word can cancel the sacred obligation It Involves. No use of epithets, bo aspersion of motives by those who differ will contribute to that sober judgment so essential to right conclusions. No political outcry can abrogate our treaty of peace with Spain or absolve us from its engagements. It is tbe people’s ques­ tion and will be until Its determination Its written out in their enlightened ver­ dict. We must choose between manly doing and base desertion. It will never be the latter. It must be soberly settled In justice and good conscience and it will be. Righteousness, which exalted a na­ tion, must control in its solution. No great emergency has arisen in this na­ tion’s history and progress which has not been met by the sovereign people with capacity, with ample strength and with unflinching fidelity to every honorable obligation. Partisanship can hold few of us against solemn public, duty. We have seen this so often demonstrated In the past as to mart nnerriag what It would be in Jhe future, Tbe natural sentiment and the national conscience was never stronger or higher than now. There has been a reunion of tbe people around tbe holy altar consecrated to country newly sanctified by common sacrifices. Tbe followers of Grant and Lee have fought under the same flag and fallen for Um same faith. Party lines have loosened and the ties of union have been rooted In tbe hearts of tbe American people.

The persistency and sources from which this Ferry scare is being secret­ ly engineered have aroused the sus­ picion that it is but the forerunner— the advance hint—of the long-threat­ ened launching of the Stearns boom in Wayne, ae fitting retaliation for what they term the temerity of the Ferryites in disputing the Kent coun­ ty field. As the bitter fight between Ferry and Stearns progresses tbe wise ones claim to see in it a steadily increasing advantage to the chances of Candi­ date Bliss. They argue that divided delegations from Wayne and Kent counties, and the bitterness engender­ ed in the f’erry-Stearoo fight will pre­ vent the partisans of either from es­ pousing the cause of the other, and the coalition of thte strength will go to a neutral candidate, in which field Bliss te acknowledged to be the strongest and i. st available man, as shown by his recent victory over the field in Bay county. litar'ilteiinluTutii U Frstaa.

Sorely wounded, yet envied by many a fellow soldier for the glowing words In which the brigade commander praised his conduct and urged his brevet, the boy had been carried back to the great reserve hos­ pital at Malate. The breezy wards were filled with sick and wounded, and certain of the rooms of the old con­ vent once used for study and recita­ tion had been set apart for officers. There were three cots in the one to which they bore him, and two were al­ ready occupied. Even in his'pain and weakness he could hardly suppress a cry of dismay; for there, with his arm bandaged and in splints, his face, white from loss of blood, lay Stanley Arm­ strong. Time and again the boy’s he-art and conscience had rebuked him for the estrangement that had arisen be­ tween him and this man who cad proved his best friend. Time and ag iin he had promised himself that he wo Ud strive to win back that friendship; ,ut well he knew that first he must rein­ state himself in Armstrong’s respect; and how could he hope for that so long as he surrendered to the fascinations that kept him dangling about the dainty skirts of Witchie Garrison? Oddly enough, the boy had hardly both­ ered his head with any thought of what Frank Garrison might think of his at­ tentions or devotions, whatever they could be called, to this very captivating and capricious helpmate. When a hus­ band is so overwhelmed with other cares or considerations that he never sees his wife from morn till night, so­ ciety seems to correspondingly correspondingly lose \cie ^’ seen .,H Io lose sight of him.

He never heard Armstrong men­ tioned* that he did not wince. He knew and she knew that, coming suddenly upon them as Armstrong had that tropic night on the Queen, he must have heard her words, must have realized that some compact or understanding existed between them, which neither Gray nor Mrs. Frank could palliate or explain. It had not needed that epi­ sode to tell her that Armstrong held her in contempt; and yet. when they chanced to meet, she could smile up into his eyes as beamingly, as guileless­ ly, as though no shadow of sin had ever darkened her winsome face. But not so Gray., He moaned in secret ?ver the loss of a strong man’s confii 'ence and esteem. He longed to find a way to win it back. He had even thoug jt to go to the colonel with his trouble, j take h— a clean breast of it, tell him the trt ’*■ that he had fallen deeply, as it waa sible for him to fall, in love with Lawrenee; had hoped his love wi turned; had found it was nob- hat *he had only a frank, friendly, k 4iy interest in him; and that, woi ded and stung, he had fretted himae) pto a fever at Honolulu, aided by Cat jet’s aspersions, and then—well—any pan is liable, said Billy to himself, t get smitten with a woman who ten irly and skillfully nurses him day Wter day; and that’s just what Witchia Gar­ rison did. But somehow the oppe rtunit.y to tell him never seemed to come; and now, now that Armstrong and him­ self were thus thrown together with the prospect of being in the same room day and night for the best of the month, a third officer, a stranger, lay there, too, and in his presence or hearing any con­ fidences would be impossible, even if Armstrong encouraged them, which be probably would not. In this embar­ rassment Billy’s wish was that; the colo­ nel were fifty miles away. It was fate and a hard one, thought he, that brought him there—an everpresent re­ proach. It was luck of the worst kind that they should be confronted under such circumstances since neither could retreat. He submitted in anskma silence to the keen, quick examination mand of language and small regard for of the skillful surgeon in charge and to the redressing of his wound.

The year 1898 will be a memorable one In the annals ol the United States. It engaged In a war to free an enslaved people.

The wars in the Ohio country, the Seminole, Blackhawk ard other Indian wars we read of, they are like our wars with the a*, ages of the Philippines. These wars I haye spoken of were the march of elvlllz Uloo, that overcame every obstacle i > expansion.

We then bad but 827.844 square miles of territory, and tnis our* chase In 1803 added 1.171,931 tquart* miles, extending from the Mississippi to the Rocky Mountains and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian lines, with the district of New Orleans on the easter side of the Mississippi.

Long ago many redd the price was too high.

All that our country may accomplish In tbe next hundred years cannot be told beyond merest conjecture; but something of what It may do can be safely prophesied by the light of what has come to n during the past one hundred yean.

Let us luro to so-ne extracts from letters written to Oa-sar, ascribed to Sallust, and see If we can­ not find that he'sounded a warning not alone to R;me but to all nation*. Sallust is direct In cataloguelog Rome’s most glaring faults and empbaslios the dangers of misuse of wealth, of preferment of riches, of Immortality and lust, and his contribution is of great value In any time. Among other things he says to Caesar tne following: “But tbe greatest ser­ vice you can possibly do to your country, to your fellow-citizens, to yourself aud your posterity. Is to extinguish that extravagant passion ter riches, which Is so prevalent amongst us; or. at least, give such a check to it as tbe circumstances ot the times will per­ mit, and. unless this be done, neither In tbe city nor io the camp, neither in the adminis­ tration of pub’ic or private affair*, can any due order, any regular economy be expected. For where tbe love of money euce prevails. It proves always too powerful for declpline and suppresses all good dispositions, nor is tbe firmest mind able to resist Rs efforts; but, sooner or later, falls a victim to this passion. Numerous are the Instances that occur in his tory. what princes, what states and nations have’ entirely owed, to the oppressive weight of their opulence, tbe Iom of those mighty t-mpiree whleh bave been the glorious acquisi­ tion of virtuous poverty. Wealth has Ito proper spbere lu the world no less tbau any otber thing. It is the abuse of Burney, tbe exaltation of money that Sal ust complained of. It 1« tbe same thing that the honest reformer ot today desires to correct. No sensible and safe man opposes tbe rich be­ cause they are rich or seeks to stifle thrift, energy and economy, tbe honest pathways to economic independence. Tbe proper use of wealth leads to higher planes of perfection and action In all tbe channels of life. The British Empire today holds sway over 9.841.921 siiuare mile* and M5.236.78U people.

But we must not make our territorial poMessfous a dumping ground for dishonest and worn out politic tl hacks.

It is more tnai likely that we are as Impotent today to grasp and comprehend what the future will bring to ua as were our states­ men above quoted In 1850. ' Let us take just a glance af history. In 1789. when the nn*seut constitution went Into ef­ fect, the United States comprised an arsa of 827,844 square miles aud had a population of less than (our millions. In 1803 we made the Louisiana purvhaee from France, paying $15.­ 000,000 tor 1,41331 square miles of territory, or considerably more than doublin< our do main. In 1819 we acquired Florida by pur­ chase and 59,263 square miles, about th* area of Michigan. In 1815 we secured Texas with Ils 378 163 square mile* of territory. In 1818 we acquired M5.753 square miles of territory from Mexico bv conquest—more than four times the ar-a of the Pnllippines. In 1833 we Requi-ed 44.0G4 square miles from Mexico by tiie Gadsden pdrehaw. In adjustment of ths Mexican boundary. la 1867 we purchased Alaska from Russia and thus added 532.409 square miles to our possessions- In 1S9H we annexed Hawaii with an are* of 6 740 square miles and in the same year we secured Porto Rlc.t with Its 3 600 square miles by co .quest Tnis given us an area today of 3.567,772 square miles. The Philippines not included have an area of 115.300 square miles, covering 16 degrees of latitude and 9 degrees of longitude and have a population of about el*hi millions. Cuba bas an area of 45.872 square miles, leas in size than Michigan, and a ponuiatlon ol 1.631,696. The pooulatloo of the United States to lay is about 75 millions. It has doubled tu 80 years. It has four timei the area It had when it Htarted out. From this It would appear that ite destiny Is to grow and that it will grow despite the alarms of little Americans, who have always existed, who have always meant well, but who have been In error and have | wasted time and effort in endeavoring to pro. tes availlngly against a natural law.

Under these circum stances it became evident that free trade would not benefit tbe Porto Ricans, but would really be a rich harvest for tbe speculators and inasmuch as a tariff would begin pouring money in to aid the Porto Ricans gt-bnce, It was deemed best that a temporary tariff bill, to be operative only tiro pears, should be passed, placing a duty of 15 per cent of tbe Dingley tariff schedule. A great furor has been raised over a misunderstanding of-this bill. President McKinley Is still stated as favoring free trade between Porto Rico and tbe United Statgs, but favors this temporary law, which will continue in operation but two years, in order to raise funds most ot wbleh speculators would be compelled to pay, which will be immediately available to give relief to tbe people of the Island. We fail to see why tbe bill should cause any great discussion. It seems that money is needed at once. We can’t see why it should make any great difference whether it was taken from tba treasury and given them, or whether a tariff should be levied for tbeir benefit.

There Is nothing In any of them that shows any marked advantage over our sys­ tem, and In tbe case of Indiana, when they bave been to tbe trouble of listing and valuing each item of railroad property, which must have ooet the people a sub­ stantial amount, they have then taken In­ to consideration tbe earnings, before de­ termining on tbe tax to be paid, and even then there la nothing to show that they are any nearer equal taxation than Is tbe case where tbe earnings are taken as a basis. Then, If tbe present system of taxing otber property is lo be adopted for rail­ roads, some substantial reasons should be shown as to bow the people are to be ben­ efited by the change. Under tbe present system of taxlog roallroads there Is no claim of a large portion of the property es­ caping taxation, but only a vague charge that they are not paying tbeir share. If it can be shown that they are not paying tbeir share, then ft only requires the rais­ ing of the rate of tbe specific tax by tbe legislature, without In any way changing tbe mttbods, or Increasing the expense of levying or collecting the tax. On tbe other band, if tbe reports of tba tax commissioners are to be Riven cred­ ence, 8600,000, OCO of property, or more than 50 per cent of tbe present equalised valuation of this state, Is now escaping taxation, and tbe state is now to an ex­ pense for this tax commission, of nearly, or quite 8100.000 per annum. Still, lhe information obtained Is not materially different from that collected by tbe tax statistician, though they have more power to enforce tbeir findings. It Is safe to say that there will be a disappointing shrink­ age in tbe amount of property actually added to tbe assessment rolls. One case came under my own observation—a mort­ gage was reported from one of tbe north­ ern roads for over 8600,000, to be assessed In Detroit, but tbe facts were that It was mainly paid, and that tbe amount unpaid had a legitimate offset. This is nothing against these reports being made, but ft is a warning not to expect too much. Tbe raising of valuations of property now on tbe rolls, will be disappointing too In a great many cases, as the same amount of money will have to be raised on substan­ tially tbe same property, and while the rate will be leas, tbe valuation will be higher, so that tbe result will be tbe same; J should tbe cbeoxe be ta.de, there la no uannune ot rqu.l taxation, hot, on tbe otber hud.

Ad an Illustration of the uDoertalDty of tbe results of tbe valoatioo by state boards, I quote from tbe proeaedion of tbe Missouri State Board, of wbieb tba Governor Is cbs’rman. It was moved by General Crow of tbe board, that all railroad property be assessed at 45 per cent of Ito value- After some dtocuaaio© In which It was rbown that tbe railroad properly lor tbe previous year waa aa nested all tbe way from W per east to 70 per cent of Its value, tbe resolution was voted down; Governor Stephens and tbe mover of the resolution voting for it, tbe otber three members against ft,. Tbe board then proceeded to place a value upon the several toads of lhe state, valu­ ing from two thousand dollars per mile, up. It Is also a notable feet that Um proceedings quoted above are taken from tbe 76th day of tbe session of tbe state board of equal taxation, and It Is noticed that the records show the board In session on tbe 87tb day. when they allowed personal bills amounting to >3,960.70. Thia Is only one Illustration out of many which mlgnt be shown from tbe records of otber states, which go to show that an assess me nt of railroads by a state board la not necessarily equal taxa­ tion. either as among tbe different rail­ road companies or as between tbe rail­ roads and other property, A provision was put into tbe charters, providing that after 30 years tbe charters might be altered, amended or repealed, provided the state paid the damage re­ sulting from such alteration, amendment or repeat. By consolidation, and In maay otber ways, some of the roads bave prob­ ably so weakened tbeir position under their charters, that the courts would de­ clare them void. In fact have already done so, so far as tbe Lake Shore road Is con­ cerned. but the railroads bave always succeeded Id preventing the repeal of these charters and putting the roads en tbe basis of tbe general law for railroads In the state.

EXHAUSTED NERVES Ar. RertorrJ BeUtAllwS- and the Body Hied with New Life and Yljor. by U.lnt Dr. A. W. CHME'I ■ERVE AND BLOOD PILLS. If nervous exhaustion were better un­ . w.rstood, tbe numbers of insane and -epileptic persons would be greatly reduexd. and there would be less paralysis and nervous prostration. Business and professional men would not be overcome by brain fag, nervous dyspepsia and headache; teachers and students would not be exhausted By tbeir work, and women would not be pale, weak and nervous, and suffer the miseries caused by derangements of their peculiarly feminine organism. To get at the cause of these troubles you must nourish aud restore tbe wasted nerve cells. Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve and Blood Pills sre tbe greatest restora­ tives known to modern science. They are Dot purgative, nor bave they tbe weakening effect of a purgative, but re­ store by building up the system. Dr. A. W. Chase’s Nerve and Blood Pills are prepared from tbe 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 tbe age for diseases arising from thin, watery blood and exhausted nerves. A few weeks’ regular itreatment with thia popular remedy will completely re­ store pale, weak, nervous men, women and children to robust health. By in­ creasing the corpuscles in the blood, and creating new nerve force, they fill the body with new life and vigor, and banish disease from the system. There is no guess work about the results of Dr. Chase’s Nerve and Blood Pills. You can rely absolutely on tfaeir restorative and curative properties.

Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has cured more women than any other remedy. It therefore must be tbe best possible medicine for female ilia. But some women make the mistake of thinking that they will try some­ thing else, simply because it Is new. . That mistake is often a fatal one— fatal to the health aud happiness of the experimenter. Is it not foolish to risk the poeaible results of such experiments? Is it not better to depend upon a medicine which has been tried successfully for thirty years, and which has never been found wan ting? Do not therefore let any ane persdade you to try some­ thing which they say is just m good. It cannot be just as good. Mrs. Pink­ ham’s Compound is the best, and there can be only one best. This is not a mere assertion, but is a positive fact, admitted by hundreds of regular physicians. Rely on your own common sense, and Mrs. Pinkham's life-long experi­ ence, and you will make no mistake. Don’t experiment with yonr health, but take a medicine that you knew is good, and is backed by such letters as these to Mrs. Pinkham: Ovarian Troubles Always Yield to Lydia E. Pink­ ham’s Vegetable Oom­ pound, “I had been in poor health for twentvjfears, having inflammation of ovaries and womb trouble. Although trebled by physicians, I could not gain strength nor do my work, and was so low-spirited and tired of life. A friend advised me to take Lydia E. Pink­ ham’s Vegetable Compound. The first bqttlc strengthened me, and I wrote toyou. After taking six bottles can say that I am well and can even do my own washing.”—Mrs. M. W. Milleb, No. 1033 Canal Street, New Orleans, La. • “For three years I suffered with oyarian. trouble, having inflammation and an abscess on right ovary. Had such pain in fiiy buck and head, and at times was unable to walk. Had severaI doctors, but they did not do me much good. One doctor said that I would have to have an operation and have the ovary removed. I became discouraged and gaye up all hopes of getting well. I began taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. I wrote to Mrs. Pinkham and followed her directions faithfully, and am bet­ ter than I have been for three years. I have taken ten bottles, and my friends are surprised at my rapid im­ provement”— Mrs. W. H. Walters, Cold Spring Harbor, L. I., N.Y. Suppressed and Painful £. Pinkham’s Vegstabta Compound, “ I wm thin, sallow- and nervous. I had not hod my menses for over a year and a half. Doctored with several physicians in town and one specialist, but did not get any better. I finally decided to try your medicine, and wrote to you. After I had taken three bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and three of Blood Purifier, my menses returned, and I feel as well and strong aa I ever did, and am gaining flesh.”—Miss Lkma Gaines, Visalia. Tulare Co., Cal. “Before taking the Vegetable Com­ pound I wm troubled with irregular menstruation, and suffered great agony. My physician gave me mor­ phine, and I remained in bed. I doc­ tored eight years and got no relief, and the doctors told me there wm no relief for my trouble. Finally I tried Lydia E.

Every month my troubles hare grown less and less, and now at this time I arn cured.”—Ella Quixnky, No. 22 Stage Street, Haverhill.

Before I had need one bottle I was greatly relieved. I had not known a well day for four years, but now I feel better than I have since a child, and it ia all due to Lydia E.

AMERICAN MEAT. ilaait Washington, March 27.—In a report to the state department from Frankfort Vice-Consul-General Haneur makes it evident that the agrarian element ianot without strong opposition in Germany in its efforts to pans the meat inspec­ tion bill. The consul reports that the opposition is manifested by the manu­ facturing, commercial and export cir­ cles of Germany. He cites tbe protests of the national commercial diet; the movement among the cotton textile manufacturers against the law; and the petition of the Hamburg chamber of commerce, reciting the threats of re­ prisals from Australia. England and South America and the probability of extreme mercantile Injury to the Ger­ man working people. This petition aiso asserts that the foreign meats never have shown health Impairing qualities. One of the reaolutiors adopted by the Frankfort chamber of commerce de­ clared that the meat bill would have ominous consequences for German in­ dustries and commerce as well as cflttA Ing a great advance in the cost of workingmen’s food, * An order has boon issued by Willis L.

For many years Dr. Chase’s Ointment and Dr. Chase's Kidnev-Liver Pills have been standard remedies, known and used in nearly every borne. Dr. Chase’s Nerve and Blood Pills have had greater attention from physicians because they have to a large extent revolutionized tbe method of treating diseases of tbe nerve* and blood. , ..

The best skirt model is plain I gored, with no trimming excepting two ! or three rows of braid, if eo desired, lined with percale and finished with a deep hem. The shirt waists should be of light flannel and also lined with a thin lining. The prettiest model is made with a -narrow yoke of the flan­ nel that comes just in front of the shoulder with fullness in the front, and in the back six nairow tucks that start far apart from the shoul­ ders and taper down into a point at the waist. The backs can also be plain, but with a pointed yoke. The sleeves are shaped, have just enough fullness at the armholes to be comfort­ able. but fit close to the arm and have a flaring cuff at the wrjat that can be turned back if desired.

A tall gray-haired man reclined in an easy lounging chair, his eyes intent on the clear-cut face of a young soldier in trim white xmiform. “Did you bear who came with her?” he somewhat eagerly ssked, “or on ths Doric?" he continued, with les, enthu­ siasm. “I did not,” was the answer—"that la, on the Sedgwick;" and the gentle­ man halted lamely and glanced turti.ely and appealingly at his wife. There was that embarraaaing. Interrog­ ative alienee that makea one feel the futility of concealment. It was Mias Lawrence who quickly came to hla re­ lief and dispelled the strain on the sit­ uation. “I should fancy eery few army peo­ ple would choose that roundabout way trom Manila when they can come di­ rect by transport, and have tbe ship to themselves." -Weli—er—yes; certainly, certain­ ly," answered the helpless master of the bouse, dodging now the warning and reproach in the eyes of his wiser mate at the other end ot tbe table. The crack of a coachman's whip and the swift beat of trotting hoots on the graveled road In front could be heard as be faltered on. Tbe gleam of eab lights came floating through the north­ ward shrubbery. “Bxeept, ot course, when they happen to be—er—already, well, you know, at Hong-Kong or Naga­ saki," he lamely concluded. There was an Instant hurried glance exchanged between Gray and Prime. Then up spoke In silvery tone their boatea: “Other officers, you know, ere or­ dered home. We haare-just heard to­ day that CoL- Frost comes very soon. His health seems quite shattered. 1 believe—von knew—ot them—slightly that la to say. Miss Prime, did you not?" But even with her words she cast an anxious glance along the dim reach, of the lamnl, for the pit-a-pat of footfalls, the swish of feminine dra­ peries was distinctly heard. Twc dainty, white-robed forms came float­ ing fato view, and, with changing color, their hostew suddenly arose and atepped forward to meet them. Just one second of silence Intervened, then, sg grace and gladncrs, smilei and cor­ diality. both her little hands out Stretched, Mrs. Frank Garrison came almost hysterically she sprang forward and clasped his hands, the colonel of tbe Primeval Dudes stood revealed before .them. “Col. Armstrong! How—when did you get here? What does this mean? Is your arm quite well again? Why didn’t you let us know you were com­ ing?" were the questions rained upon him by Mrs. Marsden, immediately fol­ lowed by the somewhat illogical state­ ment that she was actually breathless with surprise. “Shall I answer in their order?” said he, smiling down at her flushed and joy­ ous face. “By the Sedgwick. This aft­ ernoon. That I wished to see you. Do­ ing quite well. Because I didn’t know myself until two days before we sailed.” Then, as he stood peering beyond her, she would have turned him to her other guests had not Mrs. Garrison made in­ stant and impulsive rush upon him. "As fairy queen or fairy godmother I claim first speech." she gayly cried. "What tidings of my liege lord, and where is hers, my fairy sister’s?” she demanded, waving in front of him her filmy parasol and pirouetting with al­ mg to MiFnme. -Thereto ome vacant ■»’- I* ocenprert. hare de- »«« MU be. I Urf«k. anotbre." And ' drawing a letter from an inner pocket he calmly turned to Nita, now shrink­ ing almost fearfully behind her aiater. “The colonel gave thia to me to hand to you, Mrs. Frost, on the chance of y onr being here. He will arrive by next week’s steamer, and, pardon me, it is something I think you ahould see at once, as a change in yonr plans may be It was vain for Margaret to interpose. The letter was safely lodged in her sis­ ter’s hands, and with so significant a message that it had to be opened and read without delay. Gayly exc using herself, and with a low reverence and c6mprehensive smile to the assembled party, she ushgred her siater into the long parlor, and the curtain fell behind them. There followed a few minutes of brisk conference upon the lanai, the Marsdens pleading against, the father and daughter for, immediate return to the hotel, there to claim the vacated roofhs aboard the steamer. In the eager discussion, pro and con, both young soldiers joined, both saying “go,” and promising to follow by the Sedgwick. In this family council, despite the vivid interest Armstrong felt in the result, neither Amy Lawrence nor himself took any part. Side by side at tbe snowy railing over the breaking sea they stood almost silent listeners. Suddenly there came from the front again the sound of hoofs and wheels, loud und distinct at the start, then rapidly dying away with the increasing distance. Miss Lawrence turned and looked inquiring­ ly into the eyes she well knew were fixed upon her. Mrs. Marsden hesitated one moment, then stepped across the lanai, peered into the parlor and en­ tered. It was a minute before she re­ turned, and iu that minute the decisive vote was cast, the carriage ordered. Continued aextwMk. NEIGHBORING COUNTIES.

Mrs. Garrison warned Nita against accepting attentions of young Latrobe, a cadet who was shortly to graduate. Insisting she must marry money. A card is handed Mr*. Garrison—"Mr. Gouveneur Prime.” CHAPTER IX.-"Gov.” Prime had falls* into a mad infatuation for Mrs. Garrison, though she was married and several years his senior. He had been abroad for a time, but now unexpectedly returned. A letter about this time from Latrobe Intend­ ed for Nita fell into Mrs. Garrison's hands, and, to break up what wm already an en­ gagement. took her sister west. A few months later Nita married Col. Frost. On this announcement Latrobe suddenly dis­ appeared.. Now. *too. Mr. •Prlmj^learning became angry, whereupon * "Gov.’’ left home.

Frost wm Mslgned to duty tn tbe Philippines, and he took his wife as far as Hong-Kong. While in San Francisco he learned of his wife’s previous attachment to Latrobe. CHAPTER. XT.—CoL Armstrong gets from Adit. Gordon the story of Morton, and concludes that the young.recruit (and now a deserter) is "Gov.” Prime, and that Latrobe, nephew of Gen. Drayton, is prob­ ably with him. Canker bas been ordered to have aantrv taken from Gray's tent and to have one placed over Sergt. Foley, a fa­ vorite of Canker, but Foley is already miss­ ing.

Mrs. Garrison explains that her Ristcr was really too ill and too weak .toicome out here, but she thought the drive might do her good. She thought best to slip quietly away with her. and bids me say good night to you all.” So, when next day the Doric Railed, four new names appeared upon the pas­ senger list, and the Iasi men down the stage, already “tremblingon the*rise," | were two young fellows inSvhite uni- i form, who turned ns they sprang to the ‘ dock n ml waved their jaunty caps. | Join 5ou in ten days nt ’Frisco!" shoutec. t.4* shorter of the two. gazing upward and Winrd «t ihr .piartetu : on the promrnadr d«k. “Oh! hep a ' thoueand pardon,, he added, ha.tily. as he humped a|rmn.t umi slender ub- i ject. and. wheeling about to pick up a flimsy white fan. he found himself face to face with Witchie Garrison, ker­ chief waving, beaming, smiling, throw­ ing kisses innumerable to the party he had so lately left.

Not ten min­ utes before, when Hon. Bertie Shafto had started impulsively toward theyacant chair by Armstrong's side, fTiirm hand detained him, and Miss Prime had hastily-’interposed. “Not on any ac­ count 1" said she, imperiously. "Can’t you see?" And Mr. .Shafto, adjusting his monocle, had gazed long and fixedly and then, transferring his gaze to her, had said: "Eh—cli—yes. It’s not ours, I sup­ pose you niton." But now Amy Lawrence was beckoning. and he made a rush for the rail, „v then worked his way aft, hand over Imud.

Ever since tbat day in the radiant sunshine of the park she had learned to look up to him as a tower of strength, a man of mark among hia fellows, a man to be honored and ■ obeyed. Ever since that night at the Palace, when she saw his glowing eyes fixed intently upon her, and knew that he was following her every move, she h4d begun to realize the depth of his interest in her. Ever since that day when the China slipped from her moor­ ings. with Witchie Garrison singling him out for lavish farewell favors, she had wondered why it so annoyed and stung her. Ever since the day she read the list of killed and wounded in the first fleace battling with the “insurrectos” she knew it was the sight of his name, not Billy Gray’s, that, made Yon her for the moment faint and dizzy and taught her the need of greater self-con­ changed during the day to an abrupt trol. .Ever since that moonlit night up­ and tumultuous upheaval that tossed on the Marsdens’ lanal, when her heart the Boric like a eprk and made locomo­ leaped at the sudden sound of his voice, tion a problem.

Hillsdale, Eaton and Calhoun counties are endeavoring to arrange a fair trust, but tbe latest thing In combines was dis­ covered at Otsesro when .five blds for medical attendance and medicine for the township poor were opened. Tbe bids were all alike and revealed the further fact that tbe M. D.’s had bad their heads together upon the subject. All bids were rejected. • If you were offered sure aid. in time of trouble would you put it aside and accept something of doubtful efficiency ? If you saw before you a strong and safe bridge leading to your goal, would you ignore U to try some insecure and tottering structure ? The answer to these questions is plain. You would, of course, choose without hesitation what all evidence showed to be the safe thing, and you ’ would risk nothing In useless experi­ meats. Why. then, do some women risk one of their most precious possessions— their health—in trying medicines of unknown value, which may even prove hurtful to them.? Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound has stood the test of years.' It has the largest sale'of any remedy for female ills in the world, and nothing could have given it this sale except its own merit. f Do not try any experiments, but buy what is known tb be reliable.

Lew Gorseliue was recently arrested on a warrant sworn out by the county clerk of Isabella county charging fraud and conspiracy. It grows out of the sparrow bounty Investigation. J. Warren Peake has resigned his posi­ tion as receiver of the Ionia, Eaton & Barry Insurance company.

A watch, two chains, two or three pocketbooks and many other articles were taken. A posse armed with shot guns started In pursuit and finally succeeded in capturing two negroes with tbe goods In their possession. They were taken to Allegan and plead guilty. The day previous two farm houses In tbat vicinity were robbed and It is believed by tbe same parties. James Bryant, a large stock dealer, of Akron, was instantly killed while be was assisting in loading some logs on a car with team and pulley blocks, the chain broke and one of the pulley-blocks struck him on tbe bead.

Tbe Verity Mt’g Co., of Portland, bas been trying for some time to buy addi­ tional property there but tbe price on any thing they look at goes way up and tbe company bas finally decided to locate In a place where • site can be had at a rewonable figure.

Marshall bas finally granted a fran­ chise to the electric road through tbat city. Tbe ordinance provides, among other tblnga, that the company shall pay the city two hundred dollars a year which is to be deducted from tbe company’s taxes each year.

Washington, April 10.—A defense of the administration of affairs at Manila Is contained in a report just made to the war department by Chaplain Chas. ■: C. Pierce. This officer particularly ; antagonizes the chaplains of volunteers who have been severely criticising the morals of the American troops in the Philippines, making the charge of wholesale intoxication and telling of the enormous Increase in the number of liquor drink saloons in Manila. The chaplain declares that the figures as to the number of paloons have been per­ verted; that the American saloon took the place of an untold number of na­ tive gin shacks which dispensed liquid poison with deplorable effect upon the American troops and that the substitu­ tion of the regimental canteen bas re­ sulted in an improvement in the so­ briety of the troops. Chaplain Pierce also speaks in terms of high praise of the reformation of the critical condi­ tions in Manila, its cleansing and sani­ tation w’ith the resulting Improvement in general health.

Why with tbe Massachusetts Mutual? Be­ cause a policy holder and beneficiary in that Company is protected by the famous nfiwRrftttirC law of Massa chusetts, the best by far in the union. Their policies are absolutely non-forfeitable after two annual payments have been made thereon. The law makes them so and there are no if’s nor and's about it. Said law protects every policy holder for all that his money bas earned in pro­ tection or investment. The law prohibits a Tontine or forfeiture business. The policies sre simple end plain, the values being written in the face of the policy for every year after the first.

These figures in­ dicate that the proseptet for an aver­ age crop of wheat is not as good as it was one year ago. A good rain, fol­ lowed by a few days of warm weather, would reveal the condition of the roots of the plant, which, if favorable, might enable the crop to make a good'growth yet under favorable circumstances. The average condition of meadows in the southern counties is ,81, In the cen­ tral counties 88. In the northern coun­ ties 93 nd for the state 84.

M \ Dkak Sxr: Your letter received, and Id reply will 8My that 1 sincerely hope and 1 believe the pqrto Rican Relief measure when It finally will be satisfactory to the party as a whole. . • This Porto Rican question I* one about which we have got to get started right or we shall be troubled from now on in our relations to newly acquired territory. Whatever*we do now will be treated as a precedent'. Nothing that has been propostd with reference to Porto Rico I* in­ tended to be oppressive but Is Intended to be for their relief. Several Chings have conspired to emphasize the difference of y!-ws itniong public men and among newapaperk-- '; First, the President declared that It was onr Plain duty to give free trade to Porto K co. 1 saw no reason why this should he so at tbe outset, and I suppose the I ncident saw no reason why it should not I* done, when be made his recom­ mendation. I was quoted a* being against th.' hill and I confess that before I came to a conclusion, 1 was greatly troubled as to what policy ought to be pursued. Here was a people who bad welcomed our army, wno were friendly to us and desired to be incorporated into our government eventu­ ally. But my very friendship for these people eventually Compelled me to vote for the bill as a measure of temporary relief to them. It must be borne in mind, that they were and are poverty stricken; that they had'beeu swept by a hurricane which bad devastated tbe Island, destroyed Its roads, injured Its wharves, ruined its crop* In -tore and unharvested and in abort had curried le^tructlon in It* train. The need of relief was and Is urgent In the spirit of the utmost friendliness It was our duty to consider how we might best relieve t hem. First, the extension of our internal reve­ nue “j-stetn bad ta.be considered a* * dosslble measure of relief. But Immediately upon its consideration. It had to be reject­ ed as imposing additional hardship* with­ out benefit to Porto Rico. The extension of our Internal revenue system would only have increased tbe price of things In com­ mon use to an already Impoverished peo­ ple and would have resulted practically in debarring them from tne thing* which they absolutely need, because of Increased price and would not have resulted In any increased revenue. Next, to be considered was the method of raising money by direct taxitlon. There is In operation there a system ef oc­ cupation tax under tbe old law, but this had to be rejected as yielding nowhere near enough for relief. The method of raising money by run­ ning In deb: was thought of but a large majority of the people are already badly in debt. Their property is mortgaged. They have been devastated by a hurricane. The islaad itself came to us with no pub­ lic debt. It needs many public Improve­ ments but It owes no public debt. After careful '’onsideration it did not seem best to signalize tbe beginning of *ur control by having the island plunge Itself In debt and Issue bonds. f . There remained one other method under free absolute open trade and that was a di­ rect appropriation from tbe treasury for their relief. This, you will remember yras resorted to to the amount of abont >-.01'5,000 immediately after tbe passage <jf the tariff relief bill by tbe House. But this did not afford sufficient relief. It was necessary to have some sort of continuing revenue for them until conditions changed favorably. This was provided by the bill which gave the Porto Ricans all tbe reve­ nues collected for abont two years. The bill In Itself is a mere temporary measure for tbe relief of an impoverished and suf­ fering people by an indirect method which would not bear upon the body ef the peo­ ple to any extent. It must be remembered that ever since we acquired Porto Rico they have been paying duties under the Bingley law. The propoeed bill provided for the redaction of do tie* to only 15 per cent of existing du tie*. This make* an average advalorem duty of only about 6 Per cent and is so low as not to be oppres­ sive, but was intended in addition to tbe Immediate relief aimed at, for tbe prmervation of a principle for use hereafter. It must be remembered further that the three principal crops grown Id Porto Bfco are sugar, coffee and tobaoeo. Coffee comes in free and will of course continue to come in free. Now the next question I*, wbo will be called upon to pay this defy. Certainly hot tbe poor people of Porto Rfoo nor tbe small planter*.

It has always been onr custom as to terri­ tories to Incorporate In the organic act, a statute prescribing that the constitution and laws ot toe United States, where not locally Inapplicable, ate extended. Tbe constitution Is only extended by legisla­ tion framed tor that purpose. Tbe Cal­ houn doelnne finally found Judicial ex­ prearion In toe Dred Scott decision and Is no longer a binding sulherllv.

A. D. IZAT1ON, AND FOR FAtMUU OMEAALLT, THIRD . or luuu coNTnibiiTE.0 bt N. I-COOU. Paper Number Three, -Equal Taxation" has a very familiar sound In Michigan. Agitation on this subject ba* been of great political profit to a certain individual in DetrolL But that gentleman’s actual sentiments are best ex­ pressed in the lately completed tax rolls of that city. It appears that Hazen 3. Pin­ gree’s assessment for personal property previous to 1900 has been $10,000. The asMuors have this freer Increased the fig­ ure* to $50,000. His Excellency’s brother and buslntM partner has been raised from $2,000 to $100,000. Tbe -Pingree Idea" of Equal Taxation thus appears to be that genuine -Tax Reform” consists in letting other folk* pay one's taxes. But our Re­ form Governor I* not tbe only martyr in Detroit or Michigan who is will tag to sac­ rifice himself by suffering bls fellow citi­ zens to bear his own share of public bur­ dens. ( What do we mean by Equal Taxation? The writer would answer: Such a system of taxation a* will compel all forms of property to bear an equitable sbsre of taxatlon. There is not, and cannot be, a dispute as to tbe Justice of equal taxation. But honest difference* are very prominent when the question come* to deciding wbat meth­ od or system shall be adopted In order to establish equal taxation. Many Insist that tbe only method by which equal taxation can be secured Is to assess all property, individual or corporate on tbe same basis, namely Its actual cash value. In tbe main this is correct: but there are exceptions. For Instance, how can one Justly assess telephone, telegraph. Insurance and express companies at the actual cash value of their property? In each one of them, tbe property in sight subject to direct assessment is very small. So these corporations, which are tbe meet profitable kinds of property, would almost escape taxation by tbe above method. A tax on their earnings is tbe only method by which they can be forced to pay their share. Likewise, a tax of so mucb per ton on their yearly output is the only method by which tbe rich mining com­ panies of tbe state can be compelled to pay tbelr share of taxation, since no super­ visor could be expected to know tbe value foi taxation purposes of “a hole io the ground.” Tax reform, like charity, must begin at borne. The tax-dodger can be found in every township and ward In Michigan. By some method, willingly if possible, forcibly if necessary, every citizen, firm or corporation must be compelled to pay tax­ es In proportion to property owned. The Grange and all good citizens can do noth­ ing more praiseworthy than to build up such a public sentiment as will brand tax dodging as both dishonest and disreputa­ ble, and which will make tbe tax-dodger feel tbe contempt which honest men ought to feel toward all attempts to saddle any man’s just share of public burdens and ex­ penses upon his fellows. Our present system Is to make real and personal property bear tbe burden of sup­ porting local, county and state expenses. The assessor can easily get at most forms of personal and practically all real prop­ erty. Credit* can be. and in most Instan­ ces are so under cover that they largely es­ cape taxation. Tbe remedy for this evil is to compel each citizen to submit a sworn statement of tbe property he owns. False swearing should be punished as perjury. These sworn' schedules should be filed with the county clerk. At the decease of a citizen a public appraiser should make a schedule of his property. This schedule should be compared with tbe citizen’s sworn state­ ments of bi* property. The estate of the citizens should be compelled to pay the county $10 for each dollar of taxes which it can be shown this citizen dodged, and this claim for back taxes should have; pre­ cedence over all tbe claims of heirsfr p. Tbe wisdom of taxing credits is^ quite another qneetion. No doubt it would be better for tbe debtor class if credits were not taxed. But so long as our system makes personal a* well a* real property pay tbe taxes, the majority will doubtless oppose excluding credits from tbe tax roll. The supreme question in Michigan is tbe taxation of corporation*. As practi­ cally all corporations, except railroads and those heretofore mentioned, can be readily ou toe right method of taring railroads has been a bard praposUtao. AU rte agreed—except possibly tbe railroad cor­ porations them selves-that railroads WHOLE NO. 2332. ~ (1) A state board of assessors who shall fix the valuation of railroads within the state for taxation purposes, fix tbe rate of taxation, collect tbe tax, pay It Into the state treasury from which It shall be dis­ tributed as now to support tbe public school*. (9) Each supervisor assesses the rail­ roads running through bis township or 1 ward at wbat be considered tbe value of the tight of way, trackage, ears, depots, locomotives and other railroad property in bls district, taxes to be levied and collect­ ed the same as other township or city taxes, and to he expended In the township or supervisor’s district. (8) Tbe present system of taxtag tbe gross earnings of railroad*, the rate to be fixed by tbe legislature, the tax to be levied,, collected and disbursed through tbe regular state officer*, and all to go to support tbe primary schools of the state. The objections to be urged z against the first two plans are (1) that new laws mutt be framed which must be tested In alt tbe courts, thus losing much time and money. (2) The expense of collecting and disbursing the tax, especially tbe large expense of maintaining a state board of aaaesaors composed of men competent to do tbe work. (8) Tbe small number composing such a board could much more easily be reached by corrupt influences than could tbe whole legislature and state officers. (4) Experience proves that in states having, tbe first or second plan of taxing railroads result* are no more satis­ factory than they are under the present law in Michigan. (5) The second plan is especially objectionable since there could be no uniform plan of assessment; and townships like Maple Grove, Johns­ town and others having do railroads would get no benefit at all, though they help to give tbe railroads tbelr traffic; and finally the overwhelmingly large proportion of the tax would go to tbe cities, where the great bulk ot the railroads' valuable prop­ erty is concentrated. It Is objected to the present system of taxing railroads to Michigan. (1) That the basis of assessment being on tbe earnId,. is not tbe same as farms, houses, etc., namely cash vitae, (t) Tbe text* col­ lected are not as high as they should be. We have already shewn Id the case of mining, telephone, telegraph and express companies that it would be impossible to have just taxation, If actual cash value of real and personal property was required. The qoestsoD of a basis for taxation is not so Important as result*. Moreover the courts have ruled that the market value of its stock, bonds and mortgages determines the value of a railroad. And the value of these depends upon the earnings of tbe railroad. 80 that in taxing tbe earnings. Michigan is taxing that which fixes the values of railroads. NISKERN TO HIS SON TELLING .SOMETHING ABOUT FILIPINO OAMEJ; HAAVE3T1NG OF RICE OtOP, BTC. Zamboanga, Mindanao. P. 1, Sunday, Feb. 4, IMO. My Deab Lewis: I have Just finished my lunch, which we have on Sundays at 19 o’clock, the same as on other days, and will answer your letter of the 8th of December. This Is the last letter that I have received from you. It came here on the 81st of January. Last night Mr. W. wanted to develop some picture*. Be has not had very good luck with his camera work since be left the states, so he asked me to try my hand at developing. He has bee n trying to do the developing alone. Yo u remem­ ber that bls camera takes films that are put up 12 In a roll. Every film that he has used so far has not been properly marked so that he could know where to cut the film before beginning to develop. In consequence he has tried to develop the whole roll a Utile, then ent the film, and then complete the development This has not been all ot the trouble that be has bad trying to get pictures. The light here seems to operate differently on the plates or films than it does In the states. And there seems to be other reasons that inter­ fere with the work. In some cases of failures he has been unable to find any reason for the failure. Weil, last night he asked me to help him. So I did the de­ veloping and he did the cutting, washing, etc. This made the work easier, for it is pretty difficult for one person to handle these long rolls when he has to first de­ velop them a little before cutting them. Be had twelve negatives In the camera, or rather had taken that many. In the de­ velopment, however, some of them came out blank, and a few of the others had something the matter with them. Out of twelve we got six. The atmosphere In the islands Is so damp that It affects bls cam­ era, and has swollen the wood consider­ ably, but so far not enough to affect Its workings. I will put In the pictures that came out good last night. One of the men who belongs to the regiment, told Mr. W. that be had spoiled about 870 worth ot supplies since be bad been in the islands, and bad not gotten any results in the way of pictures. So Mr. W. is not the only one that has bad bad luck. Up to the time of receiving your letter we had not bad any snow. So that you were ahead of us. And so far this winter there has not been any indications that we would have a cold winter. The weather prophet has not predicted any snow. L bepe that we do not have as cold weather as yon doubtless will, for our houses are not built to stand very cold weather. In fact there is no sujb thing as a stove or fire-place in them. As I sit here to-day, I am dressed in white clothes, all of cotton, tbe windows and doors are wide open, and 1 am not suffering at all from cold. But I am not suffering with the beat either. To-day it Is a little cloudy and there is a delightful breeze blowing, so that tbe tem­ perature Is very comfortable. But In tbe bouse we bye never suffered at all from tbe beat. Tbe rooms are so large, so open and so exposed to the opportunities for tbe breezes that we have it very comfortable all of tbe time. There Is no force to tbe second objec­ tion. Tbe rate of taxation of a railroad’s earnings Is fixed by tbe legislature of tbe state. Let tbe Grange and all good citi­ zens Insist that men be sent to tbe legis­ lature wbe will make tbe rate high enough so that railroads would be compelled to pay the same average rate of taxation which is paid on all other kinds of proper­ ty. It could be arrived at to this way: Have a commission determine the value of Michigan railroads in tbe way prescrib­ ed above by the courts. Let them then determine a rate of taxation on earning* that will make each railroad pay the same 1 am afraid that you and Pbtl. would rate on tbe value of its property as tbe not enjoy It here very much, but for my average rate on other kinds of property. sake I would like to have you here.

I do do not know If arrangement* have been made to have English taught In tbe school when it la started. Just now tbe people around here are all busily engaged in gatbering the crop of rice that has Just matured. You know that rice and fish, if they can get tbe lat­ ter, constitute tbe principal food of tbo native*. So that if their rice crop fall*, or is not properly harvested, they have pretty hard time* trying to live. You remember that in my letter from Honolulu I said something about bow the rice grows and bow they harvested It there. It grows the •ame here, bnt the harvesting of it-is a little different, that is the way it i* gotten off tbe field. There they bound It in sheave*. Here they do not go to that trouble, bat carry it from the field in loose bandies. Before tbe crop is ready to harvest, they pnt up a nep* roof over a small piece of ground that has first been cleared of all gras*, etc. This piece of ground !*■ smoothed off, a small bank, say six inches high, of earth Is thrown up around the edge of tbe plat, and the sur­ face of the plat is thoroug biy beaten down with a heavy mall, ao that Ito surface la comparatively smooth and bard. To this place they bring the bundles of riee straw. Tbe straw is thrown on tbe ground, then a native gathers under bls feet a small bunch of the straw. This buneb^be rolls under his feet, tramping on it at the same­ time, until the riee Is threshed from the. straw. When threshed from the straw the rice Is called palai, and It has tbe bull on it just as oats do when they come from the threshing machine. The next process is to get the rice free from the bulls. To do this the native ba* a wooden bowl dug out from a log of wood. Usually there is a couple of feet of tog in the original state, on each side of tbe bowl. This gives plenty of wblgbt to tbe affair ao that the pounding process will not tip tbe bowl over. Into this they put what it will con­ veniently bold of palai. Then with a stick of twood about five or six feet tong/ three or four Incbe* Id diameter, they pound the palai. This stick Is fashioned In tbe center of its length small enough so that tbe band msy grasp it conveniently. After the pounding process has been con­ tinued sufficiently long to separate the rice from tbe hulls, tbe whole thing Is taken out of tbe bowl and put a little at a time in a shallow splint basket, I call It a basket, but In reality it Is only about an inch in depth and of various diameters, from about eighteen to twenty-four Inch**. Taking bold of this basket with both hands tbe native tosses the combination of rice and bull* a few inches into tbe air. While it Is in tbe air the wind blow* tbe bulls away and the rice falls Into the basket The rice is now ready for market or for cooking. I have in a few places seen an improvement on this basket.

MANY FREE STATERS HAVE RE­ JOINED THE BOERS. Maseru. Basutoland, dated April 14, says: “Sir Godfrey Lagden, British resident commissioner, returned here from the scene of operations near Wep- ener. He and the paramount chief have stationed 3,000 nriped natives to resist possible Boer entrenchments. The orders of the resident commission­ er are that the Basutos are not to be allowed to cross the Free State fron­ tier on any pretence whatever. Col. Dalgety’s position Ls strong and well chosen but he is completely surround­ ed. “Tbe Boers have their backs against Basutoland and if they stay much longer they will be hemmed in. The British operations are keenly watched •from the neighboring hights. Shelling and sniping have been going on stead­ ily during the hist six days. "Col. Dalgety's guns are admirably served and there is no waste of am­ munition. The Boers when they see the electric flash of the ebrdite. bolt into their holes or behind walls. “So near are the Boers and the Basuto guards that they converse. The ambulances are close to the border, but the killed and wouuded are not re­ moved until nightfall, in order to con­ ceal the nutniter of tvisualtles. The Boers are fatigued aud their horses are tired and foot sore. “The Boers attacked flreely the Brit­ ish northern position on Monday. April 9; But they WVre beaten back at day­ break. Nothing is known here of the casualties on either side. "It is officially reported that the Brit­ ish losses at WejFener in the four days’ fighting were eighteen men killed and 132 wounded.’ The Bloemfontein corresjiondont of the Times, telegraphing Sunday, says: “It Is reported that reinforcements for the Boers with sixty wagons, have ar­ rived nt De Wets Dorp, en route for Wepcner.

S. 8. is abeoraWiy W<XM1 diseases, and is beyond the reach of tea many so-called purifiers a-xl tonics because socnathing more than a mere tonic is required. 8.8.8. is equal to any blood trouble, and never fails to cure Scrofula, because It goes down to the seat of the disease, thus permanently eliminating wary trace of the taint. The serious consequences to which Scrofula surely leads should impress upon those afflicted with it the vital im­ portance of wasting no time upon treatment which can not possibly effect a cure. In many cases where the wrong treatment has been relied upon, complicated glandular swellings have resulted, for which the doctors insist that a dangerous surgical operation is necessary. 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 the physicians were un­ able to cure me, and my condition waa as bad as when I began their treatment. Many blood remedies were used, but ivithout effect. Some one recommended 8.8. 8., and I began to improve as soon as I had taken a few bottles. Continuing the remedy, I was soon cured permanently, and have never bad a sign of the disease to return.” Swift’s Specific— ' S. 8. 8. FOR THE BLOOD —is the only remedy which can promptly reach and cure obstinate, deep-seated blood diseases. By relying upon it, and not experimenting with the various so-called tonics, etc., all sufferers from blood troubles can be promptly cured, instead of enduring years of suffering which gradually but surely undermines the constitution. 8. 8. 8. is guaranteed purely vegetable, and never fails to cure Scrofula, Eo ema, Cancer, Rheumatism, Contagious Blood Poison, Boils, Tetter, Pimples, Sores, Ulcers, etc. Insist upon S.

At that time, in one of the small States of Norway, there reigned a young King called Harald the Fair­ haired. He was fond of riding and outdoor sports, but cared little for the affairs of his kingdom * One day, while hunting, he became separated from his courtiers. He stop­ ped at a farm-house to ask the way. The door was opened by the meet bewitchingly beautiful young girl he had ever seen. She was simply attired in peasant costume, but her lovelinos could not be concealed. Strangely enough, though Harald was very handsome and richly clad, the peasant maid seemed not in the least impressed. She answered his questions civilly, hut coolly. Beyond that she had nothing to say. Her beauty and refinement amaaed him. Her hands were small and ex­ quisitely shaped, her bearing stately and graceful, her voice clear and sweet, her manner gentle, but digni­ fied.

Taylor by Attorney Helm Bruce. He said that Mr. Taylor’s contention was for con­ stitutional liberty and that it was waged in a court of justice and not on a field of carnage, because in entering the union Kentucky had surrendered Its right of resistance. He came to this court on the basis of the principle laid down in a former opinion of the court, to the effect that the arbitrary exer­ cise of power of government unre­ strained by regard for private rights and justice could not be tolerated. Mr. Bruce reviewed the case at length up­ on Its merits, contending that after the Issuance of the certificate of election Mr. Taylor was as much the ogveruor of Kentucky as any man who had ever been Ina Jgurated for that office. He denied that the legislative adjudication was any adjudication at all, contending that to oust Mr. Taylor by this process would be to deprive him of hls office by despotic power and not by the pro­ cess of law.

This time it came up on a motion to proceed to the con­ sideration of the resolution introduced by Mr. Pettigrew (8. D.), which was before the senate last Saturday. The motion was defeated, 29 to 20. The conference report on the joint resolu­ tion relating to the administration of civil affairs In Porto Rico, and provid­ ing for the appointment of temporary officers on the island was agreed to. During the greater part of tbe session the Alaskan civil code bill was under consideration, but no progress was ma&e. A house bill authorizing both the Dis­ trict and Circuit Court of the United States for the southern district of Mis­ sissippi to be held at Biloxi, Miss., was passed. A, bill appropriating $40,000 to en­ large and improve the public building at Burlington, la, was passed.

Al la-i. all preparations for the trip being made, and having provided myself with a bicycle, and as little luggage as possible, I determined .to start out and see those cauntries with’my own eyes.

Many times during the night we were awakened by the a mashing of water bottles as they foil from tbe racks, and occasionally an unusu­ ally bard plunge of the ship would cause the luggage stored beneath the berths to roll about in the room. Racks were placed on the breakfast table tbe next morning to keep the dishes from sliding Into our laps. Unfortunately they did not keep the contents from spill­ ing. Only one gentleman appeared at my table that morhlng—It wasn’t I. 1 went on dock that morning to enjoy my first day on the oeean. I remember some mouths ago of seeing a picture which I fancied was but « fleetlug glimpse of tbe endless enjoyments of life at sea. A young man, dressed in a faultless golf Fault was leaning over tbe rail at the vessel's bow, while beside him, a perfect goddess in form and beauty, stood a young maiden clad in,the purest of white. His unengaged baud heldJia fragile parasol overhead as a protection against tbe cruel rays of the aun. Her eyes were fixed pen­ sively upon the blue, tranquil waters. His were fixed upon her. Now if that young happy couple bad been on our ship their experience would have been vastly different. Tbe yonng man would have Witched tbe waves to see that they didn’t drench him; tbe hand that held the parasol I would have tightly clasped bls hat to keep the wind from blowing*, tt away. The sweet young maid would have clung to the rail while the wind revelled with her gold­ en looks, and started the freckles upon her ebeeks.

Much praise is due to the participants for the skillful and classical manner In which their produotlons were rendered. The large auditor­ ium of the church was filled to its fullest capacity by a very appreciative audience* and at 8 o’clock sharp, Mr. Eugene W.

Tbe program was opened by a Plana Forte Quartet, in which tbe Misses Lom­ bard presided at first piano and Lowry, Hendershott at second piano, and rendered “Tbe Village Band,” which was favorably received. This was followed by a plana solo, “Grand Concert Fantasie,” -Boone*' by Miss Clara M. Hall, which was execut­ ed In her usual happy manner. Mtss Inex. L. McIntyre and Margery E. Roubles’ vo­ cal duet ‘’Maying’’ was very pleasing. Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata rendered by Anroletta Lombard displayed her ex­ cellent knowledge ef the piano forte and her interpretation was fine, This was fol­ lowed by a vocal trio, “Call of the Fairies” by Mesdamea Hendershott, Lowry, Niakern, which delighted tbe audience. Tba next number dosed Part L It being G Minor Concerto op 25—Mendelssohn, tor two pianos. Miss Edith E. Lombard and Mrs. Archie McCoy rendered this very classical number most artistically and skillfully, showing much labor, and the sounds of applause with which they were greeted was but a alight token of tbe ap­ preciation. Part II of the program waa opened by m plane quartette, “Poet and Peasant," Over­ ture—Snppe, by the Misses Lombard, Rea­ dies, Mrs. McCoy, a very classical number and wa» well received. Agnes M.

Tbe piano solo, “Rondo Capriedoeo B Major”—Mendelssohn, was executed from memory (without notes) bff Miss Margery E. Roubles, who is recog­ nized as one of the first pianists in the city.

Goodyear, Druggist. nq— anybody know that there ever has been a race of giants in the world? Does anybody believe that a race of gigantic men, who were from twelve to twenty teat high, ever lived la these United Stales ot America’ And yet the proof that such a race of people did live in this country is to be found in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado river in northern Arizona. This proof consists of first: Footprints in the red sand-stone. Footprints that ap­ pear to have town made by the moccaslned feet of gigantic men. Men whose tracks measured twenty inches in length and who stepped five feet at a stride. The second proof is that there is the petrified body of such a man, likewise in the red sandstone of the Grand Can­ yon district This body was that of a living, breathing man, but, after death the flesh was replaced by lime or silica, held in solution in the w<ter. There is ample evidence that nature was able to perform this feat, as thfe petrifying process is being carried on in the canyon to* this day. The third fact is that there is and was a strong and almost universal tradition among the ancient people of Mexico and Peru that such a race of giants lived in their country. Perhaps it is almost too much to call this proof, but it is at least corrobor­ ative testimony. Last June I visited the Grand Can­ yon as a tourist The Atlantic and Pacific railroad to Flagstaff, thence by stage seventy miles to the Hance trail on the brink of the gorge. There I met Mr. Hull, who was acting as guide into the canyon and who was a pioneer of northern Arizona. He told me the following story, and, with apol­ ogies for my credulity, I believe him. Three years ago he and a compan­ ion named Jim Lavelle had been pros­ pecting in this pArt of the country. They found a ledge which they thought was valuable and had started out of the canyon with samples of the ore, expecting to return in a few days. One of the Indians was with them. Mr. Hull speaks the Indian language fluently and the Indians have a great admiration for him. The Indian said: "Have you ever seen the big Indian up here,” volunteering to show it They followed him up a foot trail which led througn a crevice In the red wall, thence on to the bench-like for­ mation above, but still In the midst of the red sandstone. They came to a place where a pro­ jecting rock formed a shelter over a sloping table-like-slab of stone which was covered with a white incrustation of lime. Outstretched on this slab was the body of a gigantic man turned in­ to stone, lire body was entirely nude and lay face downward. They esti­ mated his height to be eighteen or twenty feet The left arm was out at full length, while the right arm was doubled under his head. The left was perfect, but the foot was jammed into a crack In the slab. The right leg was broken off just below the knee and the broken part was missing. They look­ ed at It ten or fifteen minutes and then continued their journey, intend­ ing to return and maka a more com­ plete investigation. Plans changed and they failed to return. Mr. Hull told the story to several people, but they either disbelieved him or discouraged him, so it happened that he had never been back there and that he had never tried to do anything with his discovery. ’ He also told me that reliable In­ dians had described to him tracks of both men and animals in the solid rock not far from thi* body and in the same formation. These he had never seen, but he had no doubt cf CEDAR CHEEK. their existence. Beojamln Htanton of Hastines visited This was startling Information, out his father B. V.

In the middle of the fourteenth cen­ tury John of Gaunt, Duke of Lancast­ er, the famous eon ot King Edward in. ot England, married the Infanta Blanche, heir to the throne of Castile. Unfortunately the lady had been supplanted by her cousin, who had seised and held the throne. Twenty-five years after this marriage war broke out betwean Portugal and Castile. England was the ally of Port­ ugal. The Dake ot Lancaster headed the English forces. He fought with a will. Victory meant that his wife, the Dutchess, would be Queen of Castile. The King of Portugal, too. interest­ ed him. He was a fine young man ot twenty-six. He was tall and handsome and had wavy black I hair and large dark eyes. He was a brave soldier and a good horseman. In some ways he was unlike most kings. He cared nothing for the drunken bouts and coarse pleasures in which his companions Indulged. He was noted tor the remarkable purity of his fife. His people called him John .the Perfect They were devoted to him. Three years before an English Knight on- a visit to the King of Port­ ugal, had:died suddenly. At the last moment he placed In the hand of the King a miniature painting. He at­ tempted to say something in explana­ tion. It was too late. The picture was of a beautiful, but unknown, maiden. Rippling fair hair shaded her round pink cheeks. Her blue eyes gazed steadily into the King’s dark ones. Days, weeks, months passed, and the King still studied the miniature. He was enthralled by the fair unknown.

The latter were told that they had been commissioned until July of next year, and they would be held strictly to tbelr contracts. Nothing but absolute dis­ ability would be recognised as suffi­ cient for release. consul, Herr Culmet, a wealthy mer­ chant.

The tow of Bantry Is pleasantly situated among the mountains and its variously colored buildings with their precipitous roof* and small prlson-llke windows are built along streets which might once have been the paths of monster serpents. At one ondof tbe town Is an ancient weather­ beaten mill with a water wheel forty feet Id diameter. Taken collectively tbe build­ ings are excellent examples of the «tyle of architecture prevelant several hundred years ago. Adjacent to the principal busi­ ness blocks b a triangular space called the market square, which, upon the day of my visit, despite the fact that it was covered with slippery black mud, formed tbe gath­ ering place for hundreds of people, most of whom were barefoot and carrying huge wicker Imskets. The scene presented was both curious and Interesting. Everywhere people were hailing over the sale of cart loads of provender or over tbe purchase of fowls and animals. Here and there old men and women, together with healthy looking daughters and sturdy sons, were partaking of their noonday meal, which consisted of bread and a tankard of black molasses-lik*-’ brew. Near them a dreamy looking donkey, stubborn billy-goat and wide-honred cow would b« tethered to one stake, while iong, emaciated dogs and razor back pigs would nose about in the hatful of Straw, which tbe animals were munch­ ing. Noisy ducks and geese were sus­ pended by tly legs from the carts.* Oc­ casionally a terrific squawking would an­ nounce the escape of one of these fowls and the owner would pursue It through tbe crowd, giving \ to his anger In a volly of jargon which defied interpretation. It was Impossible to walk upon the narrow sidewalks, as they were covered with sheep, while various other animals wan­ dered about with absolute liberty. Pros­ pective buyers, smoking peat in their short black pipes, would gather about a cow and judge ber merits or demerits by punching ber in tbe ribs, at the same time carrying on «n argument with tbe owner. I no­ ticed, however, that they were careful not to jab the donkeys in tbe ribs. Shouts and yells filled the air as the buyers en­ deavored to steer their purchases through the streets* but tbe stubborn beasts al­ ways went in any but the right direction. An auctioneer was disposing of cattle in a manner which would have done credit to SURROUNDINGS. People returning from market, some of whom were making the rocks re-echo with maid.

He was so youthftfl thu he ^aa had hard work in getting Into the rexiiumt when he enlisted about a year before. He had been educated In a military school, and the mechanism of drill seemed a second nature to him. He remembered as he escorted the refugees through the chaparral that tihere was a situation in a grand opera which was not .*0 Very different from the one in which he found himself- He wondered if Carmen were as beautiful aa the Cuban girl who picked her way among the fallen branches and the stones which lay in their pathway. Then he tried to convince himself that he knew a girl 'in Harlem wno was far more so. The more he advanced this proposition, to himself, the more was be convinced that It was utterly untenable. "Senor," said the girl, “you are very kind. Y'ou are—our very valiant knight" Teddy Wilkins’ youth often caused him to speak hastily. He glanced at tfce young woman’s mother, and, be­ ing convinced by her look of entire stolidity that the duenna did not un­ derstand English, he remarked, in a low and supposedly tender voice, "I wish that you would say. 'my,’ Instead of our,’ aenorita. I should be very happy if you did. The young woman laughed, and then checked herself. “Ah, senor,” she said, "I have left thoee behind who were very dear to me. I think only of being reunited to them.” "Let me go in search of them," ex­ claimed the young sergeant. "I will go everywhere to find them in order to win even a smile from you." “Senor." responded the young wo­ man. “there Is nothing in our Spanish tongue to describe one so noble. You are indeed a Sir Galahad. They came with us and were frightened from us. I have no doubt that they have suc­ ceeded •- also placing themselves in the pro. .ction of los Americanos. Sucn Is my earnest hope." The girl stepped back In a coquet­ tish way so that the young sergeant might walk beside her. The more ne talked with her the more he was con­ vinced that she was hiding a great sorrow. There were lines in the classslcal forehead which showed that th&j young woman was more worried about the safety of those whom sh» had left behind than she1 would tell even the sympathetic sergeant Sergeant Wilkins as he walked along felt a violent attack of jealousy. "Your sweetheart, perhaps?" he sug­ gested. The girl shook her head. "Alas, senor," she said, “not bo. If it were a few years ago I could truth fully answer yes.". . • The sergeant was sorry, but at lam they reached the rear. The young wo­ man and her mother were taken under the protection of a branch of the Red Cross. The sergeant remained near them as long as he could and then re­ luctantly started back to tbe front. "Perhaps we shall meet again." said the girl, just before he went away. “You give me great hope." replied Teddy Wilkins. “If I can ever be of service to you. no matter where you ;n>*y be, you must let me know.” The -girl smiled and said that she would never forget him. The young sergeant touched his cap and with one last lingering glance he went hto way He was so preoccupied on the way back that the soldiers with him exchanged aly winks and assumed ex­ pressions intended to be exceedingly love-lorn. Sergeant • Theodore Wilkins found little time that night to think of the fair senorita. The Spaniards advanced and 4t took all Che vigor of the exbausted volunteers to hold them to check. Yet even when-the Mausers filled tbe air with weird songs, there came to Teddy Wilkins the vision of a face framed in dark -hair and the sound of a voice which was musical andlow. Days of hard fighting followed, and when it was all over Sergeant Theodore Wilkins went in search of her who had called him a Sir Galahad. He found her. too, within the protection of the American lines, sheltered by the Red Cross and happy, becacuse she had been reunited with her own—her husband and her four children.

Rome needed her troops nwrer home and withdrew them. The Britons were again tret but they were also defencelam. Four centuries ot submission had robbed them ot the power to light. They were no longer able to light. In the country we now call Scotland lived two savage tribes, the Picts and the Scots. They had always been tree. They were warlike and tierce. They took advantage ot Britain's helpless condition. In great hordes they descended upon the fertile south­ ern country, robbing and slaying with­ out mercy. To add to the distress ot tbe Britons, they were subjected to the attacks ot pirates on ths ocean. These Pirates were a seafaring nation which lived north of the Rhine. They were called Saxons, The Britons were In despair. In vain they appealed to Rome for aid. What should be done? The greatest British Prince at this time was Vortigern. He was a true Celt,, with swarthy skin find heavy black hair. He was a young man. ac­ tive, powerful and brave. While the old men talked and considered he reached a conclusion.

She must make friends with one. He ch'bse the Saxons. Under a flag of truce he went to them and offered friendship to the Saxon chiefs, Hengist and Horsa. They were great ruddy-faced, fair­ haired giants, who had lived upon the sea. . "If you will make peace with me and will help me drive the Picts and Scots from Britain I will give to you the Isle of Thanet.” kaid Vortigern. It was agreed, and together, for the first time, the Saxons and the Britons fought to drive back the people of the north. In return Hengist and Korea took the Isle of Thanet and filled it with their countrymen. Then they made a great feast at which Vortigern was the chief guest. The feast was in a high, wide hall. As was the custom of that time, oxen and sheep had been roasted whole, and wine flowed like water. The banquet was like many in Vortigern's own land, save in one thing that happened. When the feasting was at Its height, when loud laughter made the rafters overhead ring, suddenly there was a mighty trumpet blast, that sounded above the merriment At the sound, as if by magic, the great doors of the hall were flung open and there entered a train of beau* tiful Saxon maidens, clad riebly, though with the-barbaric splendor of their age and country. * At their head walked the beautiful Princess Rowena, daughter of Hengist. She was wonderfully fair, with deep blue eyes and masses of golden hair that fell rippling and waving almost to the floor. Her trailing gown of purest white was edged with ermine and girdled with gold. About her snowy throat she wore a curious ornament called a torque. It was of beaten gold, less than the thickness of her Httle Anger, and was shaped like a large wire eye such as we use for fastening clothes. Tbe two circles came to the front. This was the sign of her royal blood. In her hand she bore a golden goblet Vortigern gazed spellbound upon this fair beauty, so lovely in his Cel­ tic eyes. Slowly, to the sound of music, she advanced and offered to him the gol­ den goblet, brimming with wine. As she did this she said In a sweet arid gentle voice, “Dear King, thy health’” Vortigern drank, and at* the same time he drank deep of love from Ro­ wena's blue eyes. Again and again did the British Prince visit the lovely Rowena. She sang to him beautiful songs; she told him tales of her people. Rude and savage was Vortigern. but the gentleness of the maid melted his heart, and he loved her deeply and truly. Rowena, too, loved. him, so his wooing prospered. At length there came a day when the dark Celt nnd the fair Saxon were married, and Vortigern carried his sunny-haired bride with him to Brit­ ain. M The Saxons grew more bold after this marriage. Not content with Tha­ net. they began to settle on the main­ land. Often Vortigern would storm, saying: “They have no right in Brit­ ain." and threaten to drive them back. Then would the fair Rowena clasp her beautiful arms about her hus­ band’s neck, and with her soft pink cheek egatnst his swarthy face, say: "Dear King, they are my people! Be good to them, as you still love that Saxon girl who gave you the golden gob!**t of wine at the feast.” So it was through the love of man for woman that first the Saxons gain­ ed a foothold in the land which now we call England.—Lydia Kings® ill Commander, in New York Evening Journal.

Two grown men went strolling un­ concernedly up the centre of the Prado the other afternoon with a stark nak­ ed girl baby toddling along between them. Not a stitch did the child have on except a pair of rope bottomed slippers. Her little brown body was fat as a butter ball and glistened in the sun as though it has been oiled. "Heavens!" ejaculated a Yankee just come to town. “Wouldn’t that come and get you? Up the Prado, the swelleet street in town with nothing on but a pair of slippers. That’s certain­ ly next door to wearing a pleasant smile." "It’s a little rare," said the other American who had been here longer, “to see a kid like that, but in the coun­ try it’s so common that no one pays any attention to them. In the city a sense of decency generally prevails to prevent it, usually with the encourage­ ment of the police. But no matter how little else a child or grown per­ son may have on you'll never find any of them, not $ven the poorest, without those slippers. That seems strange to none of us who were brought up in the South where even the children of the fairly well-to-do go barefooted. No, sir, if Whittier had lived around Havana he’d never have written his ’Barefoot Boy With Cheeks of Tan.’ The cheeks of tan are here all right; down to the last shade of dead, dead black, but he wouldn't have found a barefooted boy unless he'd caught him rolling out of bed. "There is a mighty good reason too for not going barefooted in Havana. The streets of this city are permeated, with the filth of centuries and among the agglomerated collection of bacilli. appears in large and virulent force tbe lockjaw germ. Tetanus is a/very common disease here and the people have learned that it is dangerous to go barefooted. An abrasion on the foot is quite likely to give the under­ taker a Job unless immediate care is taken of It and even the poorest peo­ ple prefer to go about with their feet protected. The fact that the stone pavements are frightfully hot In the sun and that stone floors, so common in the houses, are cold is another rea­ son for wearing shoes or slippers. It’s mighty uncomfortable walking on hot flagging barefooted and its mlghtv dangerous walking with feet unclad about a marble floored bedroom. All the doctors warn Americans against __ practice. _______ _____ , __ ______ the_ latter It leads to _sciatica rheumatism and colds of all sorts, Yea-sIr-re«' You must wear shoes In Havana.

The Eyesight of Ravages. Savages have somewhat longer sight than civilised men. Short-sightedness is unknown among them until they are taught to read. Astigmatism Is less usual than among Europeans. These are the conclusions arrived at by W. H. Rivers, an English natural­ ist. after nearly a year’s careful exper­ imenting among the savages of Tor­ res Strait and New Guinea. He concludes that the eyesight of primitive people is superior to that of normal Europeans, but only slightly superior; and that their visual powers depend mainly on their powers of ob­ servation, which, owing to their fa­ miliarity with restricted surroundings and their great attention to details, be­ comes highly cultivated. The Australian aborigines display wonderful powers of tracking. They can distinguish the footprints of in­ dividual members of their own tribe and tell them easily from the foot­ prints of other tribes, and tell the time which has elapsed since they were made. But these facts indicate powers of observation, and. similarly, very often the ability of savages to see distant objects and to find, for instance, birds in foliage when they are Invisible to European eyes, resolves itself Into their cultivated powers of searching for these things, which Europeans of­ ten enough would be able to distin­ guish when once pointed out It is only fair to state that Mr. Riv­ era’s conclusions are at odds with those of a greater naturalist When Charles Darwin made his fa­ mous trip around the world in the Beagle there were on board three Terra del Fuegians being carried back to their miserable homes after a visit to England. _ . These people are among the lowest type of savages, except, perhaps, our own Digger Indians and the Austral­ ian Bushmen. Yet they could see ships in the distance—something to which they were not trained—long be­ fore the tailors whose lifelong habit it had been and who had every advant­ age of practice and reasoning power from deduction. The three savages were Jemmy Button—so called because he had been bought for one pearl button—York Minster, and Fuegia, to whom he was afterward married. When the sailors teased York Minster about his sweet­ heart he would say: “Me see ship, me no tell.” z Sailors themselves can commonly see further than their more highly ed­ ucated officers. There never was a time, in fact in the history of American social econ­ omy when the old domestic-service problem was so close to its natural solution, and when the whole wage­ earning question of women was so near to its own logical adjustment as at the present. The twentieth century will In no other aspect be so marked as in the natural and divine division of the world’s labor which America is destined to present tp tU Wjrid-n»<m tor husinett. and women for-the home, with an equal standard in each rtiu. for both employer and employee. —Edward Bok. in the March Ladies’ Homq Journal.

Why with the Massachusetts Mutual? Be­ cause a policy holder and beneficiary in that Company is protected by the famous IfabTol’ftitW’e law of Massa­ chusetts, the best by far in the union. Their policies are absolutely non-forfeitable after two annual payments have been made thereon. The law makes them so and there are no if’s nor and’s about it. Said law protects every policy holder for all that his money has earned in pro­ tection or investment. The law prohibits a Tontine or forfeiture business.

Stu&dard Tim**. Central c5 21 Ip m. The country now know as Spain was at one time divided into a number of small kingdoms. In the middle of the fifteenth century the most important of these were Castile and Arragon. In these two neighboring Staten lived two children deatlned in later years to great fame. They were Isa­ bella. slater of the King Henry of Castile, and heir to his throne, and Ferdinand, non and heir of the’ Ktor of Arragon. When Isabella was but nine and Ferdinand eight years old the King of Arragon proposed to the King of Castile that the children be beth rott­ ed. But Henry refused. He'had other plans for his sister. Tbe Children Wished to be Betrothed. The boy and girl heard of it and were grieved. Each wna lonely and longed for a playmate. They did not understand affairs of state; they did not comprehend mar­ riage. They were'but children, who thought it would be pleasant to share each others’ games and sports. When other suitors came to Isa­ bella she thought always of the beau­ tiful boy Id Arragon, and would have none of them. When other marriages were suggested for Ferdinand he felt no interest No one else could be like the child across the border of Castile, who would have been such a glorious playmate. When Isabella was thirteen King Alfonso of Portugal Bought her. She scorned him. He was thirty years her senior. What could she care for a man over forty? Then she looked again at the maps of Arragon and sighed. This was what Henry the King dreaded. His life was profligate; his rule cruel. He feared the throne would be taken from him and given to Lsabe.Ha. He determined to marry her to some one devoted to himself. He chose Don Pedro,\a vile, dissolute old man of rough and uncouth man­ ners— one who was In every way unworthy of the lovely Isabella. The girl was indignant and rebelled. Henry Insisted that she must obey. She shut herself up In her apart­ ments and prayed for deliverance. One faithful friend remained with her. That was Beatrix de Bobadilla. a young lady of high rank, who had been educated with Isabella. As Don Pedro approached with a magnificent retinue to seise the reluc­ tant girl he was suddenly stricken with a fatal sickness. He died cursing God for the disappointment of his hopes and ambitions. Ferdinand heard of the trials of Is­ abella. His heart was touched. He longed to Reek her. "It is useless," said his father; "you have been refused.” "I am a man now." returned the son; "let me propose for her myself." The father consented. CbJCal ,A.

They showed in every way their fond­ ness for the handsome young Prince of Arragon, and their contempt for the wicked old King of Portugal. Henry* was furious. He sent soldiers to arrest Isabella. She escaped and sent word to Ferdinand to come quickly. . But Ferdinand could not enter Cas­ tle. Henry had he fronlers guarded and the whole ebuntry patrolled by troops. But the danger to Isabella was great Twice she had teen forced to change her residence to escape imprisonment. Ferdinand devised a stratagem. He fitted up a showy procession and started it for Castile to Attract Hen­ ry's attention. Then he dressed him­ self humbly and went as a servants to a pretended company of merchants.

Her father was pleased and urced Manon to accept him. But the girl refused. "He does not know enough,” . she said. ‘‘I can only be happy with my equal.” The father waa angry. He thought her wilful. The next suitor was a young phy­ sician. •’Now,” said her mother, “Manon will be satisfied. Dr. Dupont has a profession." "He knows nothing but hls profes­ sion,” exclaimed Manon disdainfully. "A thousand things I have read he has never even heard of.” In vain her father stormed and raged. Even the tender, sad pleadings of her mother could not move her. “I am an invalid," said the mother, whose health had failed. “I would like to see you settled in a home of your own, with a husband to care for you-” ' ’I could not be happy. . I do not love him,” returned the daughter. “I would gladly do as you wish if I could.” Mme. Phlippon said no more. She had married a man she did not love at the command of her parents, and was not happy. Shortly after this Manon’s mother died. It was a terrible blow to the girl, who loved her dearly.

"The situation in China," he said, MI regard as a very serious one. 1 can only see but one outcome as a result of the conflict dow In progress in China and that is the-adoption of tbe American policy in favor of open ports for American commerce on equal terms with all the other eomnfercial nations of the world.

It seems that God la with us In making it possible to have at the present qnamenl the largest army of men and the most formidable fleet of ships right on the spot to en­ force our rights and see that Ameritan Interests are protected. "Why," exclaimed the admiral, ’in many parts of Chinn the Chinese are taking American flour In preference to rice, and all kinds of American products find a ready market through­ out tbe empire. Our commerce Is in­ creasing wonderfully all the time and now that we have the Philippines we are right at the very door of this rich field of commerce.” "Then you sincerely believe in our retention of the Philippines?” the ad­ miral was asked.

Shiras of th. Lnlted States district court of north­ western lows. He speak, from bls ex­ periences In trying many cases in which Indians were either concerned or appeared as witnesses. He wu ap­ pointed during the administration of Chester A. Arthur and since has been continually holding court in fata own district and within the eighth United States judicial district, which co” prises thirteen states and three terri­ tories. This federal district, leaving out the state of Kentucky, is larger than all the territory east of the Mias issippi river. Speaking of bls interesting experi­ ence in coming in contact with the Indiana In court. says the red man or woman is generally accurate. His observation was general. He says: "Ask a white man if he was drunk on a certain occasion he will try to wrig­ gle out of it, but the Indian will come out with a ‘yes' if he was. On one oc­ casion a lawyer asked a squaw if she understood the nature of her obliga­ tion in giving testimony. She ans­ wered that she had taken a "strong word’ to tell the truth and she would do so. She was asked to define the dif­ ference between \the truth and a lie, whereupon she said: ‘The truth is the truth, and a lie is a lie; they are different and you can't make them alike.' "You will remember that some six years ago an Indian named Plenty Horses was being tried in Sioux Falls (or the murder of Colonel Casev of the United States army.’ One of the wit­ nesses .brought in by the government was American Horse. There had been a Messiah craze among the Indians and a religious phase had been injected ioto lhe trlal"In ho ovt "In tthe examination of American Horse he was asked what he knew about religion. There- stood near by a small table, which the witness drew near him. He placed his finger on the centre .of the table and drew* a circle about it, saying: ‘This is what the red man knows about religion; then he drew a larger circle saying that the white man knew that much more. Moving his finger around the outside of the larger circle he said: ‘Beyond this the red man knows as much about the coming of a Messiah, as the white man.’ ” s Judge Shiras says the Indian makes a good juror, in which capacity he may sit after relinquishing tribal re­ lations and complying with govern­ ment severalty walls. He says, too, that he has come in contact with some good Indian lawyers. T think," said he. “there is a mis­ taken idea about the red man having been generally mistreated by the gov­ ernment The facts show that they are the richest people per capita in the whole country. The trouble la that they have a poor idea of the value of money, and spend it recklessly. In­ dians will walk clear across one state into another to draw their annuities and In twenty-four hours after getting the money they win have gambled ev­ ery cent of It away before they will leave the vicinity and then walk back home, to do the same thing oyer on the next pay day. “It is astonishing to see the meth­ ods adopted by an intelligent red man to get away with his money. Among other things he has a weakness for a certain kind of amusement known as the ‘merry-go-Tound.’ Recently one of these concerns got permission to set up one of their machines on a reserva­ tion within my circuit. The bucks would gather about the contrivance and to the tune of a steam-turned or­ gan would ride the whole blessed day. They spent all the money they had and pawned different articles to get more for tbe same amusement “During,the last few years the wo­ men took a great craze for wearing these blue bathing suits trimmed in white braid. Tbe traders are said to have disposed of a large quantity of this toggery, the squaws wearing them all the time until worn out, when they would buy another suit” rouj&m Trains Kill be run st the convenlenc .T . wh0 rewnre the right to change Pe* people understand the mystery mod^Hr ?*lnk 1 w1thtrct lmJ“0<1«ty. cl.lm to understand mire tor I have made them a itudy tor m.ny year..

For 11 you Uve in a house where there an no mice, and tn a raah mo­ ment provide yourself with a mouse up a “L “*« »ill Im­ mediately make their appearance.

He merely makes a noise with them knowing that of all sounds the midnight rustle of a newspaper is the wiU most successfully ban­ ish sleep from your eyes. If a mouse unds an eligible newspaper in your bed room he will settle himself down to a night of fun and jollity. He wiU rat­ tle that newspaper UH morning, and the only effect of throwing boots at him, or of getting up and lighting the gas and searching for him, with a pok­ er will be that he will hide himself UH you lie down to sleep and then re­ sume his little newspaper game. If this does not show a sense of humor it would be difficult to say what it does show. Then there is the well-known fact that no sooner does a mouse trap or a cat enter a house than Lt is followed by a troop of mice. Cats and traps draw mice as the pole draws the mag­ net. The mouse loves the game of teasing the cat by stimulating the tat­ ter s hopes of capturing mice, fl* Is considered the height of fun amJng mice to scuttle across a room in the presence of a cat, and to disappear in a hole just as a cat is ready to pounce. Of course, now and then a too reck­ less mouse pays the penalty of rash­ ness by being caught by the cat. but accidents of this kind are more rare among mice than football accidents among men. and in no way Hinder mice shy of the game. If you once understood the nature of mice you need have no trouble with them. Banish from your house every cat. trap and newspaper, and not a mouse will show himself. Fill your house with newspapers, traps and cifts and mice will flock to it from miles away. No mouse will go to a house where no amusement is offered to tyim. This lesson I have learned, as I said, by years, of study, and it has been confirmed by the testimony of several of the most intelligent cats whom I have known.—Pearson's Weekly. Cannibalism is not so prevalent to­ day as It waa a quarter of a century ago. It is necessary to penetrate to very remote parts of the world where the explorer and the missionary have not carried civilizing influences. There are many tribes of savages, however, now in a semi-civilized state who, not so many years ago, were the worst kind of cannibals. A missionary the other day who has just returned from a sojourn of many years among canni­ bals. gave some interesting inform^ tion about this. All the present gen­ eration, he said, are converted to civ­ ilized practices, in large part. an<l only the old folks retain memories of the barbarous orgies the tribe used to in­ dulge in. “Once,” saf<? the missionary, "when a new young man came to join me, one of tbe first things he confided me was that he was very anxious j see and talk to a real live cannibal. Accordingly I sent for one of the old, gray-headed men ofThe tribe, who has been a fierce warrior In days gone by. He was a Uli and sUtely fellow, and he saluted us profoundly as he en­ tered. As he could speak only his na­ tive language, I had to interpret for the curious young man. “ ‘Have you really eaten human flesh?’ he asked. *1 interpreted this, and the tame old savage grinned and nodded his head. “ 'Yes, frequently, when I was a young man,' was the reply, with a The Geographical distribution of grin. _, red-headed girta ta. fortunately, wide. । “ ‘Did you eat white men.

A report sent by the French consul at Pretoria to his government, though brief, is perhaps the best statement yet received of the part the women of the Boers pre taking in the present war. He says that they ar? doing everything the) can to aid the soldiers in the field. Indeed hundreds of them are in lhe field and form the majority of the working force in the ambulance and hospital service. In their denunciation of the British they are far more bitter and outspok­ en than the men themselves, but in their mission of mercy they know no. enemies. All the wounded British sol­ diers who have fallen into their hands have been treated as brothers and friends.4 The Boer nurses extend to them the same care that they give to their own stricken soldiers. We nil know that dispatches from the British army have often referred to the kind treatment received by their wounded Who are prisoners In the Boer camp?. The French consul adds that the women throughout the two republics exerted a powerful influence in kind­ ling enthusiastic support for the war when it became certain that the con­ flict could not be aterted. They sent many of their sons into th? comman­ dos or militia organizations, ever, though the striplings had not reached the age of sixteen when they are li­ able to military duty. One day a Rentiers of St p'e F.r- -j• e crowd at the railroad station in Pre­ toria was cheering a commando that was going to join Joubert’s army around Ladysmith.

But we all recognize the meanins ot the phrase, which, like many another rhetorical gem ot his­ toric Interest, la Tory much older than the setting In which It has from time to Ums appeared. It has been attrib­ uted to Pitt; and It no doubt received from him a splendid aend-off on Its Introduction to the nineteenth century In allusion to British ministers used the then little known expression. “The king of England. on whose dominions the sun never sets.” That it made a great impression may well be imagin­ ed. Nor was this felt the least strongly in America; for in addressing the senate some years afterward, the eloquent Daniel Webster reminded his hearers that England was a power which had “dotted the surface of the entire globe with her posslons and military posts, whose morning drum beat, following the sun and keeping company with the hours, encircled the earth daily with one continuous and unbroken strain of the martial air. of England.” This graphic and pictur­ esque enrichment raises the figure to a high poetic level, in Itself suggestive of the inspiration of a former age. This la best shown by the fact that the phrase has been a sometime pos­ session of several nations. We unex­ pectedly encounter it in the works ot the quaint Thomas Fuller, who. in his sketch of the like of Sir. Francis Drake, says, that “though a poor pri­ vate man. the admiral hereafter under­ took to avenge himself upon so mighty a monarch, who. as not content as tbe sun riseth and setteth in his domin­ ions, may seem to desire to make all his own where he shineth.” There is no doubt about the monarch here» re­ ferred to. nor of the fervor with which on so many occasions Drake singed the Spanish king’s beard.’ it was in the reign of Philip IL, that the Spanish monarchy attained its highest point of splendor and dominion. When the ambassador Gondomar was dbmblning business and pleasure at the English court he bade a Spanish grandee who was returning to his own country “remember him to the sun.” which he had not seen since his resi­ dence in England and which he would be sure to find Jn Spain. The Spaniards, however, hgd long been conscious that the sun was not always shining on some of their terri­ tories. In one of Howell’s well known collections of letters, published in 1623. occurs this passage: “In Philip H.’s time this crown came to his gFfindeur, and truly, to give the Spaniard his due. he" is a mighty monarch, who hath dominions In Europe, Asia. Afri­ m.ip. m.n ca and America. So the sun shines all the four and twenty hours of the nat­ ural day upon some part; or other of his country, for part of the.antipodes •!c-(yvrkviiie)..! are subject to him.” And in his ac­ C.ff.sey.... Mi'.o count of “Historic Phrases" Buchan­ i)-:t«-.i.... an quotes the following sentence ot a Dutqh author in 1660: “Tbe king of Spain is a great potentate, who stands with one foot In the east and the oth­ er in the west._and tbe sun never sets 10 -F^optl that it does not shine on some of his 10 domlnlQgs." The san^e idea also finds expression in Guarini’s "Pastor Ftdo." Dem‘- ...... some seventy years earlier, in which Grand H .>»»., Catherine of Austria is spoken of as the illustrious daughter of the mon­ arch on whose empire the sun never sets.

Water mains are broken, and streams 100 feet high are pouring into ths air. The hill district is panicstricken. The reservoir gave way st the gate house near Livingstone street, pouring down hili a stream 30 feet high and 10 ■ ported. The district swept by the flood is oc­ cupied by workingmen, many owning little homes, and the loss to them means the sweeping away of the sav­ ings of a lifetime. The sand which was dug out of tbe hill between Living­ ston street and Colt avenue, and on Newberry street, is lodged in the bouses, filling some rooms, and cover­ ing the floors of others. Not a house within the sweep of the flood district, three blocks long and three Nocks across, escaped damage. Some of the prettiest homes ot workingmen left standing on parts of their foundations, are filled with water, sand and drift­ wood. Furniture is piled up and smashed so as to be almost unrecog­ nisable. It to not known what the damage will be. but a safe estimate puts it at about 8100,000. It Is sure not to run over this amount. Approximately thir­ ty-nine booses were damaged more or less by the flood, some of them being lifted entirely off their foundations and entirely ruined, while others miffered comparatively little. None of the Itouecs was worth more than $2,500, and ttoe damage in each instance there­ fore ranges from thin amount down. Every poastble aid waa rendered the sufferers at once.

At tbe meeting of tbe board the city engineers and others interested were cafld ta am) qustiooed. but It ws* lmpoasfN to locate tbe cause of tbe trou­ ble.

He said, when told of the attitude ot Mr. Bryan: -We do not want 1« to 1 plank in the platform, and we will not have it there if we can help it. A reaffirmation of the silver plank to the platform adopt­ ed four years ago covers the ground amply.’’ , . Judge A. 8.

As regards the vice-presidential sit­ uation, there was a shifting of the scene to-day. when Benj. F.

It to pointed out as not quite concelvabte that a convention which would refuse to make a specific dec­ laration for 10 to 1, with a view of carrying some of tbe eastern states would nominate Towne, who left tbe Republican party solely on the ground of his attachment to sMver.

WHAT THE LAW DECIDED To make a person "learned in the law" within the meaning of a consti­ tutional provision prescribing such learning as necessary to make one eligible to be Judge, it is held, in Jamieson vft. Wiggin (3. D.), 46 L. R. A. 817, that he must be admitted to practice, or entitled to be admitted, as an attorney at law tn the State. The burden of providing Justifica­ tion or legal excuse for killing another with a deadly weapon Is held, In Tuc­ ker vs. State ex reL Johnson (Md), 46 L. R. A. 181, to be on the defendant In ap action by the relatives of the deceased for causing his death, where the killing was done with a deadly weapon while the victim was attack­ ing a third person. For an injury caused by a defective highway combined with the negligence ot a third person tt is held, in Bart144, that no recovery can be had un­ der a statute giving a right of action for a penalty in case of injuries caused by a defective highway. The court re­ fuses to hold that the defect in tbe highway causes the Injury when the culpable negligence of a third person is the proximate cause of the injury. A statute making a railroad com­ pany liable to an employe injured by the negligent act of a fellow-servant is upheld in Tullis vs. Lake Erie & Western Railroad company, advance sheets U. 8. p. 136, against the con­ tention that -it denies such corpora­ tions the equal protection of the taws. The court holds that the peculiar haz­ ards in the operation of a railroad jus­ tify the separate classification of such corporations.

During this period the secret antidote is freely administered by the medicine man. Meanwhile the dancers are busily engaged in hunting and capturing hundreds of rattlesnakes on the des­ ert below the crest of the cliffs. The way these reptiles are caught Is most extraordinary. The hunters are armed with wisps. On discovering a "little brother," coiled, angry, hissing, ready to strike, they reduce him to quiescence by gent­ ly stroking him with these wjsps. When these caresses have mollified the enraged reptiles, they are dexterously thrust into a leather bag and impris­ oned In a small corral, where they are Consider! I^ead! If not, why not? Act!

N°w the generally received Idea ot Jhe old Scotch Presbyterian clergy is that they were a gloomy and morose set. wedded to a stem routine of life, inflexibly opposed to social enjoy­ ments, innocent of a witticism and totally incapable of practicing a prac­ tical joke. One would almost as soon suspect,John Knox ot swearing as of smiling, or bold David Ferguson of Picking pockets as of poking fun. As a matter of fact, the old Scotch Reformers were as generous In senti­ ment as they were firm In doctrines, ■as Demonstrative in love as they were strict in devotion, and therewithal as fond of good puns as of sound preach­ ing. Why, John Knox himself was in private life abundantly genial, and was a favorite not only with Queen Mary Stuart, in spite of the strict manner in which he kept her con­ science, but with all her gay and live­ ly maids of honor. George Buchanan, though connected with a work and era of violent meas­ ures and harsh means, was a hearty humorist When he was discharging the duties of preceptor to the young prince who afterward became James I. of England, he discovered his royal pupil’s weakness in complying with every request presented to him. One day he handed two papers to the ju­ venile monarch which he requested him to sign. James readily signed his name to the documents without read­ ing either, or asking particularly about their contents. In one of the papers James formally transferred the royal authority to his tutor for the term of fifteen days. Bu­ chanan now began to assume the state and Importance of a sovereign. Being addressed with the usual salutation by one of the courtiers, he announced that he would expect to be addressed with more ceremony since he had ob­ tained the dignity of the crown. The young King, who was present, began to suspect that the stern preceptor had suddenly lost his reason, and asked for an explanation. “There Is the instrument," explain­ ed Buchanan, placing the document before his pupil, "by which I have re­ ceived from you my sovereignty fbr fifteen days." Buchanan improved the occasion by administering to the inexperienced monarch a suitable lec­ ture on his habitual rashness. In 1608 King James published his famous “Book of Sports," and think­ ing to render the Presbyterian form of worship less rigid ordered that cer­ tain of the sports therein commended should be played in the several churchyards every Sunday at the close of divine service. John Ross, a min­ ister of Blairgowrie, adopted a novel method of withstanding the royal or­ dinance. He was a strong, athletic man, and seemed much interested In the recreations enjoined by the mon­ arch. Football was selected by the parishioners of Blairgowrie from the list of “Sunday games." When the services of the church were completed Mr. Ross appeared among his people in the churchyard, and joined them in their sport. None of the assemblage kicked more eagerly at the football than did the reverend incumbent. But constant misfortune seemed to attend him; every kick missed the ball and fell heavily on the ankles of those who stood near. Apol­ ogies were promptly tendered, and, of course, received, though every Sun­ day many of the parishioners return­ ed home halting. Finally it was agreed that on account of the minis­ ter’s awkwardness the games should be abandoned. Thus the ingenious divine gained his end and prevented compliance with the obnoxious order. It was the inflexible Dr. MeCubbin, who, when suffering dreadfully from toothache, advanced the witty argu­ ment that no more convincing proof could exist of the truth that man sin­ ned and fell by eating the forbidden fruit than that the teeth, from in­ fancy to old age. were, above all the rest of the body, the seat of the most painful disease Nevertheless the good doctor loved good eating, and. for that matter, good wine and wit as well. On one occasion Lon! Douglas in­ vited him to dinner at Douglas Castle to meet Lord Braxfleld. the noted Judge. Braxfleld was disappointed to find there was no claret, and asked His Lordship If there was any in his cellar. The peer answered that there was. but that his butler had pronounc­ ed it unsound. “Let's pree't.” said Braxfleld. It was profluced and pro­ nounced excellent Braxfleld proposed to the distinguished doctor that, since an anathema had gone forth against this particular wine, he absolve it "Your Lordship ta a good judge In civil taw.” replied Dr. MeCubbin. "but yon are not so familiar. I perceive, with the laws of the church. We never absolve till after three several appearances." The claret of the host suffered accordingly. .

On High street, not *far from Grey friars’ churchyard, ^as a restaurant, kept by a kindhearted woman. Bobby formed a hab­ it of going to her every day, send he was never refused a meal. She may have been a friend of his dead master’s or she may have known Bobby hllmself before his master’s death, otherwise he would not have been-likely to go so far. However, that may be, Bobby’s visits were quite regular and punctual. They have a custom in Edinburgh of firing a gun at 1 o’clock from the castle, which Is quite near the ceme­ tery. That was Bobby’s dinner signal, and every day, at 1 o’clock guin-flre. he deliberately got up and set out for his dally meal. No doubt he had dis­ covered that the workmen in the neighborhood were about finishing their midday dinner when the gun fired, and that may have been tbe ori­ gin of his practice, for they always made him welcome, and it was not on­ ly the leaving* of their dinners that fell to Bobby. Indeed, he seems to have been a general favorite, but no­ body could ever induce him to stay long away from his muter's grata There he lay^ day in and day out, sometimes in sunshine, but ofteuer n gloom for where does it rain as often as in Scotland? Sleeping through the long, cold winter on the cold , wet ground, with a cold stone' above him for his only ebelter, there Bobby wu always to be found. For 14 years the patient creature watched and waited, and at last—may we not hope?—he found his master. One morning Bobby was seen lying dead on the long-loved master’s grave. A few years ago, Baroness Burdett Coutts. when oa a visit to Edinburgh, heard the touching story of Greyfriar’a Bobby, and thought it a pity that so remarkable an Instance of animal fi­ delity should be forgotten. So to per­ petuate bls memory, the erected a drinking fountain. It stands on the street at the. end of Candlemaker row almost opposite to the iron gates through which one passes to enter the grave-yard.

Canfield, a prominent coal dealer of this city, and routing him out of bed, placed bioT under arrest He is charged with for­ gery, and his arrest has caused the greatest sensation of the summer. . Canfield has Invaribaly been a low bidder for furnishing the school*, the city hall, the state capitol aud other In­ stitutions with coal. The fad that he took contract* In some cases at a loss no doubt induced him to commit crime in order to make a profit. An investi­ gation comenced a week or two ago resulted in the discovery that Canfield had been raising weigh bills and g* ting pay for more coal than he deliv­ ered to the city schools. He borrowed the stubs from the city weighmaster to compare them with his checks, aud when they were returned they were found t* be raised. Not less than fK> separate forgeries are allied to have been made by him since be began to furnish coal for the schools two years ago. and he is charged with having defrauded th^scdiools'of forty ton* of hard coal. \ An examination of the checks ob­ tained when furnishing the city hall with coal shows that within the past year or two over 35 tons of coal have been charged agaiust the city which ! was never delivered. In each case the weigh bills were uot raised mure than 1.000 or 2.000 pouyds. so that the num­ ber of forgeries is targe. At one time Canfield furnished the state with coal, but for the past two years he has not been able to secure a contract. The arrest was made by authority of tbe board of education, which held a special meeting fur the consideration of the matter. Canfield spent the night In JaiL _ 215-217 210-221N.

As far as the officers and people of this city and county are concerned, we be­ lieve that they will not be found lacking in sympathy. Tbeir minds are not pois­ oned by prejudice and they do not. and never did, seek to persecute any man. At tbe same time they feel that they know what justice to the citizens of their own county is, better than any board that has Its headquarters 50 or 75 miles away. We know that the people would rather ert on the side of mercy; prefer to see Allen McOmber escape punishment altogether, if such a thing were possible, rather than see him />ersccuted for one minute. The people have an abiding faith that be to guilty—In fact be so plead; they believe that he was tbe ring-leader and the brains of the gang; they believe his sentence too short, and bringing him to trial on a second charge, we believe, will be but carrying out tbe wish of the great majority of the people of this county. And in doing this Prosecutor Thomas can go Into the case with a dear conscience that be Is not persecuting Allen McOmber, nor prostituting justice, but simply carry­ ing out the wishes of tbe people, aod do­ ing what be can, aud all he ean, to bring about justice between man and man.

Chips, return to your places! Chips,' return to your places! Chips, be quick! The chips then went back to the tree. This happened three times. Then the woman caught the bird and swallowed it, but one of the feathers dropped out of her mouth. She tried to cut down tbe tree again, but this time the feather sang the same song, and the chips /lew back to the tree. The two nieces had been hiding in the branches of the tree.

He was a hard drinker When he had the stuff to drink, and his reputation tor honesty waa fiot of the best How­ ever, he assured me that in thfe in­ stance he was not guilty, and because he was valuable to me as a guide I agreed to defend him. "When the case reached the court, which was * held in the old school house, I tried all my wiles to get him off. I saw quickly that my task waa hopeless, for the Court and every member of the jury appeared to have a firm conviction, of his guilt The old guide himself saw this, and squirmed about in his seat uneasily. When the case had been given to the Jury wfth a charge which, if not learn­ ed, waa convicting, my guide rose and insisted on addressing the jury. " 'Ye all know me.’ he said. ‘Now, what I want to ask you is this:. Do you think I would be sober now If I had stolen that whiskey?* "This was putting the thing Ln a new light, and seemed to have a great effect upon the jury, for they acquit­ ted him without leaving the box. "When, ft was all over the old fel­ low was receiving the congratulations of his friends, some one said: *< *®am‘ how on earth did you do it?’ " 'Well,' the old man answered, with a aly twipkle in his eye, 'when I took that whiskey home the old wo­ man saw that the first thing I would do would be to go and get full of in­ criminating evidence.

The Lawrence Journal has kept well In mind its famous diagnosis as to “What Is the Matter with Kansas,” and brightly touches the old affliction again In the fol­ lowing paragraph: "Tbe democratic pa­ pers are sarcastically remarking that the republicans of Kansas will claim credit for tbe big crops In the state this year. Certainly they will; why not? When calamity was supreme, men polished dry goods boxes with the seats of their trous­ ers, practiced target shooting at flies with tobacco Juice, and built mighty financial systems that were calculated to save the world and render it unnecessary for them to labor. Fields were unplowed, while their owners with families drove miles to listen to tbe magic voice of Mrs. Lease and learn wisdom from her lips In refer­ ence to the cultivation of the crop she said should take tbe place of corn in Kan­ sas. They watched with savage Joy the growth of the weed crop, and compared it to the swift Increase In the size of the octopus. They gloated and gloried over tbe misfortunes of the world, and brought sorrow on their own heads by nursing and giving aid and comfort to Imaginary evils, but after they tired of the croaking of the foul bird of calamity, went home and went to work. And they did more; they went to voting tbe republican ticket again. There are two things that fill a mans soul with hope and Joy and contentment One Is work, and other Is voting the republi­ can ticket Tbe people of Kansas made up their minds to do both and at once be­ came happy, prosperous and contented. Tbe man who says or thinks that tbe re­ publican party Is not the direct cause of prosperity and plenty in Kansas Is too dull and too blind to waste time. Insane. Estate of John Keener, deceased.

GIBSON OF THE FIRST BAPTUT CHURCH OF SAN FRANCISCO. .A few weeks since a story went the rounds of tbe press to the effect that Theodore Durrant who was banged in San Quentin, Jan. 7, 1898, for the mur­ der of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams, was innocent, and that the Bev. Gibson, upon whom suspicion rested at the time, bad confessed to tbe crime upon his death bed. The matter came to the attention of,the editor of the Christian Herald, who sent a note of Inquiry to Rev. E. A. Woods, pastor of the First Baptist church at ‘First Baptist church at San Francisco. The reply appears in the Herald of July 12 and is as follows: . We sent a note of inquiry as to the. facts In the case to Rev. Dr. E. A. Woods, pastor of the First Baptist church, nf San Francisco, and have received from him the following: Dear Bro:—I have received your note In which you ask me as to the truth of the published statement that tbe Rev. Mr. Gibson has just died and on his death bed confessed that be committed both murders for which poor Darrant was bung. I resided here at the time of Dur­ rant’s execution and there was in tbe minds of tbe public at that time, no doubt as to his guilt and there Is no such doubt today. As to tbe Rev.

Three mouths ago the Sanltas company’s plant was burned and they moved into a large two and a half story brick building In the rear of the sanitarium, originally built by that institution for their bath rooma Adjoining this building was a tow and a half story building used as a laundry by the sanitarium people. Three rooms in the second story of the nut food company’s building were used by the laundry for doing hand work, and tn odc of thes* rooms were the steves for beating sad irons. Tbe fire •rlginated from one of these stoves. An alarm was immediately turned in, bat the interior work being pine burn­ ed very fast These buildings are lo­ cated on an elevation nearly equal in bight to tbe city stand-pipe at Uike Goguac. and in consequence tbe water preeaure was very light. The nut com­ pany's building was totally destroyed, together with the machinery. Tbe laundry building was parthdly destroy­ ed. as was tbe machinery. The sapitarium is now so crowded with pa­ tients that the help has been obliged to seek other quarters, and 15 young men were rooming in the third story of the bakery. They lost all tbelr per­ sonal effects. The aanitarium owned both buildings. PHYSICIANS will bo held there.

Tbe republican policy is thoroughly Im­ bued with expansion, even to tbe great ex­ pansion of tbe amount of money in circu­ lation. It will bother the democratic party to explain bow tbe tariff is any way- responslbte.for the “ice trust*’ in New York City, which is owned by the leading democratic lights of tbe country. Farmers ought to be able to see what protection and tbe gold standard baa done for them. Sheep and wool are worth twice what they were in 1896. Sheep owners are now having tbelr full share of tbe profit. In 1896 William McKinley was known as tbe advance agent of Prosperity. He has performed bls work so well that tbe next four years will see him retained at tbe bead of tbe nation’s affairs as “busi­ ness manager.” Through expansion we have obtained footholds-by which our commerce will be tboth extended and protected. Tbe United - States has a great and glowing future in industrial expansion as tbe result of ter­ ritorial expansion. The quiet, sedate, subdued manner In wbieh local democrats are following Bryan this year, compared with four years ago, can only be explained on tbe theory that they know they are trailing along In a funeral procession. Not one single instance can be pointed to within the past four years, where work­ men have struck to prevent tbe lowering of wages. Laborers have struck for high­ er wages and have invariably succeeded In -getting the increase. Forepaugb’s, Sella Bros., Barnum & Bailey’s and a few other shows may con­ tinue In the business, but Nov. 6th next will positively De BHly Bryan’s last ap­ pearance. The curtain will be rung down, And securely nailed, 00 that date. German, Swiss, Austrian and Russian woolen manufacturers have agreed to curtail tbelr output 90 per cent in order to keep up prices on tbelr fabrics.

An object of the greatest interest la the British Museum these days is not a collection of musty old books or curious relics of centuries ago. but a live man. a grizzly old veteran, who gives you a check for your hat and coat when you enter to make a tour of the place. He is Sergeant Hook, V. C. How many boys and girls have read about the terrible affair at -Rorke's Drift—that desperate encounter be­ tween the Zulus and the South Wales Borderers, known as the "Gallant Twenty-fourth"? When a strong force of Zulu war­ riors came down on the hospital wards at Rorke’s Drift Sergeant Hook had only two well men under him to de­ fend the wounded soldiers under his care. The onslaught was so fierce that Hook’s two com Melons fell, leaving Hook alone to act as defender. He held the enemy at bay until his am­ munition gave out, and then, fixing his bayonet, he fought like a demon. As each Zulu fell a victim to his trusty weapon he utilized him as a barricade in the doorway that he was defending, until ho had made a human breast­ work reaching to his shoulder. Then came a lull in the fight, when up rode Lance Corporal Williams, who, i-uuufcu he ue Knew though knew ii it was almost certain dehth, determined to stand by Hook. Presently the Zulus tried another tack, and set fire to the roof. There , was a sort of inner defence built of briek .nd the ground for commercial value. This condition te now to be changed, according to D. A. Cords, President of the Pacific Pine Needle company of Grant's Paaa. Mr. Cords says the pine needles of south­ ern Oregon arc now worth <5 a tor: delivered at his factory, and that, as the enterprise grows, whole families may engage in picking pine needier as they pick grapes in California vine­ yards. The uses to which the pine needles may be put are many, Mr. Cords eaya, but Germany has hitherto had the mo­ nopoly of the business. The'needles are at first boiled and then run re­ tween horizontal wooden rol\rs, where the juice is extracted and called "pine needle oil.." which is supposed to possess medical properties. The pulp becomes a medicated material for upholstering, and is said to be a good substitute for horse hair. No bugs or insects of any kind will li-e in furni­ ture that has beeen upholstered with pine mqvmiv needle wood, Cords says wuv»u, Mr. rai. vuiuo a«»o The Germans make flannel urderclothing of the fibre, as well as . ks f°r men and stockings for wo< n. warmers, knitting and >Mle knee “ — ............... darning yarns, cork soles, quilt6, widBetting a pick Hook broke through ding, deafening paper for walls, pine these walls until he had made an open­ needle soap, incense, and even cigars ing sufficiently large for him to pull made from this raw material Lavo through ■ the wounded men with the been Imported from Germany for aid of Corporal Williams; and they years.

LOCAL NEWJ w / Ito ere fearful that a sympathetic dtexnger, wbo paid this city a visit Satur­ day, left with either an erroneous Im­ pression as tea the “high living” of our pedple, or ji wrong estimate of the re­ liance to be placed upon some of the statements made by Hastings youths. Seeing young Frank Greusel limping along the street with one of bls feet all wrapped up in bandages, resulting from stepping on a rusty nail, the sympathetic stranger asked blm what was the matter. •‘Got the gout from high living, and. sleeping on soft beds at home,” said Frank, as be limped on and never cracked a smile. Those wbo know the boy's father, Sylvester Greusel, as most every­ body in tbe state does, are not surprised, at tbe boy’s reply. He’s a “chip o’ the old block.” Irv Segar, of Freeport, came to this city the fore part of tbe week and "surprsled tbe natives.” by remarking that he guess­ ed he’d have to support Bryan this year. For one wboee republicanism has always. been of such a staunch character that it . has never been questioned, it was very natural that bis friends should ask tbe reason why? To all such querrie® Irv. said “Now I’m a farmer. During Cleve­ land’s administration idle men were fair­ ly perching on tbe top of my fences, dur­ ing haying and harvesting, begging for days works at any price, from a square meal up. Now tbis year I bad to pay 11.75 and 1*2.00 per day’ and labor was so scarce that I couldn’t hardly get a man at any price. Oh yes It may be tough on day laborers, but in democratic times farmers can get their help cheap.” This sarcastic reference to democratic times doubtless led to the rumor that Irv had become a Bryanlte.

KLKEPING CAR CRUSH ED UNDER . CABOOSE. ONE t KILUDD. ONE FATALLY INJIHLED. EPOHT IN HOSPITALS. Detroit, Mteh., July 30.—One death, one broken back, and eight men more or less seriously injured are the cas­ ualties of a railroad wreck Ln the DetroiL Grand Haven and Milwaukee railroad yards at Milwaukee junction about 3:30 o’clock Suskhay morning. Buffalo BiM’a Wild West Show, sec­ tion 1, was run into by a freight train and tbe caboose on the former train was crashed into and over one of the j steeping cars containing employes of the show. All tbe men in tbe steeper were more or less injured, but only ten were taken to the hospitals, the others go­ ing on with the show train to Pontiac. Buffalo Bill’s show played at Ypsi­ lanti Saturday and at midnight It left that place over Che -Michigan Central in two sections. At West Dertolt the first section was Cursed over to tne Grand Trunk. It consisted of twentytwo cars, including "Hits" for wagons, stock cars, four sleeping ears, owned by the show, and a caboose. Tbe last of tbe sleeping cars, No. 50, was occu­ pied by the canvasmeB. The train was hauled across tbe city to the yards at Milwaukee avenue and Dequlndre street and, while backing down tbe tracks a freight train was noticed coming up on the same rails. The trainmaster on Buffalo Bill’s cars tried to signal the engineer, but for some reason failed to reach him. Tpe conductor of the freight saw the train ahead of him. but not in time to avert a collision, although his engineer man­ aged to slow down considerably before the smash-up occum.il. The men on the freight train de­ clared that the whistle of their loco­ motive blew the danger signals but could not attracf tbei attention of the engineer of the show train, and Jhe caboose of the latter was jammed into the front of the approaching engine with awful force. The caboose was pushed back by the intact of the sleeper.) crushing the lat­ ter for half its length, and burying Rs inmates in ap ocean' of broken seats, glass and floor splinters. ->The caboose, impeded by the obstructions, was forced up onto the roof of the sleeper, and to this fact can be attributed tbe small loss of life. Following is a list of casualties: Dead—Edward Sullivan, aged 37 years, of Bridgeport, CL, crushed toternaJly. Fatally Injury—(Henry D. Eastman. aged 20, Manchester. Ontario county,.

L In view of the repeated British re­ verses in South Africa, it is interesting to point out the leading features ot American tactics. The British army has suffered from repeated surprises. The American system of scouting makes these almost impossible.

When the scouts have come within 800 yards of the enemy they awaitThe coming of the firing line. The firing line continues to advance, reserving its fire aa long as is deemed best, but exposed bodies of the enemy may be given a volley or two if within the zone of effective firing. The com­ mander of the Uiv- designates the num­ ber of volleys. At about 800 yards the commander of the firing line orders volley firing and begins a succession 1 of advancing and baiting. By this time the support will have come up with the firing line and be­ comes a part of it. To make room for it the original firing line deploys to half distance, and the support takes the same formation either to right or left, according to its plan in divisional battle line. At 500 yards the ad pence by rushes is ordered. Rushes of fifty or sixty yards are made, alternatively by sections. Those sections not tn the rush maintain a heavy fire, from cover, on tbe enemy until the ruihers have reached a goal, when thrfy in turn spring forward, and pam ing the others twenty-five or thirty ya.'ds. go to rover, kneel or He down This method is pursued until everyth ag is in read­ iness for the final cb/ ge.

A few onehorse barrel trucks are used of a ca parity of lees than 150 barrels, but th< double trucks predominate, and amen; these the trucks most commonly used are of a sire having a capacity of about 200 flour barrels. There is running in Jersey City one barrel truck on which can be carried 300 barrels. The sire oi such a load can be imagined by tboet familiar with the big loads carried It New York. The load seen here is like­ ly to be of 200 barrels, and this maket a load that looks like a small moun tain. Empty flour barrels weigh shorn eighteen pounds each, bo that besidei making a very bulky load, 200 flout barrels make a tolerably heavy one being not very much under two tons. It takes care and skill to rope 20C barrels onto a truck so that they wil’ stay there; however well stowed, the*} make a flexible, swlngy load, that if always working somewhere, and if ont barrel gets out, the whole load is in danger. But this rarely happens. The experienced driver, who knows jusi how to stow a load so as to get aboard the greatest possible number of bar­ rels t*t be can carry, knows also just bow to rope it so that it will stay on, and, with such great length of line around he always looks out for the slack. With this bulky load, project­ ing well beyond his wheel-base on th© sides, and out Indefinitely astern, the driver takes up a lot of room in tbe street, and he has to move with care. Other drivers look out for him, too,, of course, but things that are fixed In their situation, or In their course, the driver has to keep clear ot. He looks out. for instance, not tu get too close to the curb on one side, where there might be danger that he would brake off the street lamps, and on the other side he must look, out and not gel close enough to street car tracks to scrape the cars.. And another thing that he must look out for is. when he is on a street car track himself, the elide that the rear wheels of a vehicle often take on tbe track when a driver turns out from it; if be should let hii rear wheels take a long slide his long, projecting load would sweep around in the street like a projecting timber, so that, generally speaking, the.barrel truck driver has a good many things to look out for; but, as a rule, he gets through witb bis bulky load all right A new fad is that of having the eye photographed. One always thinks he knows all about the eyes of his friends, but do*s he? Try him by ask­ ing him suddenly, the color, shape, size and expression of the eye of any one of his closest friends. There are few who can give accurate Information. An eye which has always beer thought tc be bine turns out In te* trown, and a brown one is suddenly found to be be gray- Some gray eyea look to be black urdcr intense emotion. In an idle moment a leading photographei made a photograph of an eye of a custnmer. He pushed the camera right np almost into the eye and only took that one feature. Ita- novelty has made it a fad. Young girls are now sending photo­ graph ® *•. *n tbe photograph, to tnelr friends. ,?( sent anonymously a great deal of fun is obtained in guessing whose it is.

It can be played by any number of people. An attractive experiment with the game was recently tried by a charm­ ing hostess during the afternoon hours, from 3 until seven. Previous to the arrival ot the guests the tallys should be made ready. The model taken from the entertainment quoted above is in form of a leaflet, which is made of water colored paper, the outside decoration is a clover leaf, and "a penny for your thoughts” in good script of red and gold. Inriide are the following questions in gold letters, and each one numbered until twentythree is reached: 1, a messenger; 2, mode of ancient punishment; 3, means Of inflicting; 4, a piece of armor; 5, a devoted young man; 6, a South American fruit; 7, a place of worship; 8, portion of a hill; 9, spring flowers; 10, three weapons: 11. the first American settlers; 12. em­ blem of victory; 13, an animal; 14, two sides of a vote; 15, emblem of royalty; 16. one way of expressing matrimony; 17. youth and old age; 18, part of a riv­ er; 19, something found in a school; 20, part of a stove; 21, plenty of as­ surance; 22, the cry of victory; 23, Im­ plements of writing. While firmly tied to the top of the page is X small lead pencil, and a pen­ ny, each one fastened on the end of a blue and red ribbon. When the tallys have been distrib­ uted the hostess makes the announce­ ment that the correct answer to each question Is found somewhere In the penny and should be written in the space allowed. A given time is set in which all answers must be written. When it expires the bell Is rung -and each contestant must write his or her name at tbe foot of the tally and then surrender to the hostess. The entire number are then redistributed, and as the hostess reads the list of correct answers each individual corrects t^e tally he holds, while marking upon it how many answers ane right. The tal­ lys are again corrected and given up to the hostess, who finds the one en­ titled to first and second prizes. Questions may be answered accord­ ing to the wit and cleverness of the individual, and those given above serve to suggest the list of answer* as fol­ lows: 1. sent; 2. stripes. 3, lashes: 4, shield; 5, bow; 6. date; 7.-temple, 8, brow; 9, tulips; 10, three acorns; 11, Indians; 12. wreath; 18, hair (Bare). 14. eyes and nose; 15, crown. 16. unit­ ed. 17. 18-99; 18, mouth; 19. pupils; 20. lid; 21. cheek; 22. iron; 23. quills. Tnis game can be for as many cou­ ples as desired, boys and girls acting as partners. It Is better to have a number of tables, so that guests can group thtMinClvoc thlnk'nx their answers. The prize may be any trifle in silver, a book or souvenir of any sort—Mrs. Oliver Beil.Bunce. IJfs'a Good Morning. Life!

Thiis she writes of her own appearance and manners:— "From my earliest years I was aware how ordinary my appearance was. and did not like that people should jlook at me attentively. I nev­ er paid* any attention to dress, because diamonds and dress were sure to at­ tract attention. On great days my husband used to make me rouge, which I did greatly against my will. One day I made the Countess Soissons laugh heartily. She asked me why I never turned my head when I passed a mirror—everybody else did. I an­ swered, ‘Because I have too mudi self­ love to bear the sight of my own home­ liness.' I must have been very homely in my youth. I had no sort of features * with little, twitching eyes, a short, stub nose, and long, thick lips. The whole of my physiognomy was far from attractive. "My face was larged with fat cheeks, and my figure was short and stumpy; tn short. I was a very homely sort of person. Except for the goodness uf my disposition, no one would nave endured me. It was Impossible to discover anything like intelligence In my eyes, except with a microscope. Perhaps there was not on the fac? or the earth such another pair of ugly hands aa mine. The King often to.d me so, and set me laughing about it: tor u I wu ugly. I made up mv rcind to be always the first to l»ugh at It 'I?1*’*55 1’ ed verv well, though I must confes- It tnralxhed me with » good stock of mu- terta's for laughter. "One thing that always surprised me was hos- anybody could ever fall In love with me- I was notoriously the most homely woman In the court, and yet I was only nineteen when I was married. I oft-n my husband whether my tootadM not that beauty. Indiana tldtbah land, which was connldered the beat in the country, is be­ ing ao rapidly denuded of the once splendid forests of hardwood timber that speculators are seeing the ad van­ tage of gobbling up everything that may be got in the way of timber tracts. The walnut and hickory of Indiana and Ohio are considered the oest that can be had, and the monster poplars wnlch once formed the nucleus for the log-heap fire are *now worth IndHvidually more aa they stand than the ecres they occupy will bring when cleared, many a poplar tree aell-8 *°r before an axe has touched The walnut that waa once so plen­ tiful that barn timbers, house Bills, fence rails, etc., were made from it, la becoming exceedingly scare*, and curled walnut stumps have brought al­ most fabulous .prices, while hickory of the aheilbark variety can scarcely be found m some of the best sections. Last year's purchase by a Goshen (Ind.) firm of fifty-five standing wal­ nut trees near the Northern Indiana line for 110,000 and the handsome sum they make out of the handlln< of thia rare clump of trees have proved an Incentive In the search for timber in other directions. Grant county fur­ nished a noticeable Instance in the sale of the 1,030 acres of virgin forest on the Wood tract, the last large forest in Indiana, for 856.000. A New York firin' bought the walnut timber where It stood for 155,000; 400 acres of land, the timber being reserved to the sell­ er, sold for 120.000, and there remain 630 acres of the be it timber in Indi­ ana. the walnut alone being sold from it. The buyers will clear 850.000 by their deal in that timber. Where years ago the lumbermen went for only large Tacts they are now content with individual trees, and wherever there is a notably fine forest monarch of the desitable variety its whereabouts becomes widely known, and the competition to secur it is very sharp. Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers gaze at the Palisades, on the New Jersey side of the Hudson every day, but not one in ten. thousand knows there is over there a bottom­ less pit, as great a curiosity in its way is is the caldron in the Devil’s Lake region ot California. It is situated In West New York, about three miles north ot Hoboken, op the summit of the Palisades. ’ At this point the top of the ridge is 227 feet above the top of the level of the Hudson River at its base. This pit apparently ends in water, which rises and falls with the tides in theHudson, but the attempts of the authorities, as well as of private indi­ viduals. to fill it up have proved fu­ tile. It is still there, and the trees, rock and earth ihat have been dumped into it have disappeared as if Into the bowels of the earth. Soundings have been made, but no stable bottom has bc«m found. The West New York authorities sev­ eral years ago thought they bad suc­ ceeded in finding a bottom. They had thrown Into the water a large quantity of tree tops, and Upon these had heap­ ed a pile of stone. Thig sank to a certain depth and then appeared to 1 e stationary. On top of this were de­ posited hundreds of cartloads of earth, with logs crosswise, thus making a roadway over which trucks and vehi­ cles passed. The next morning, however, there wasn’t a trace of the filling. The wa­ ter at the bottom of the pit was ns clear as before. The surface of the lake covers about half an acre, but there has never been a fish hauled from Its depths. It stood In the way of the West Shore Railroad, when it was about tn be built in 1880. The road Intend d to run Its tunel from the Weahawirenterminal to the opposite side of the Palisades, nt New Durham, directly over this pit. but after the right ot way had been bought, the company bad to abandon the route and go about one thousand feet to the south. 7 Odd M’aya That Mn«k« Kim Money Monks of Europe contribute to va­ rious industries, and ao not live in in­ dolence outside of their religious ser­ vices and wanderings.

White, ambassador to Germany, was a passenger on board the DeuLscbKnd, which reached her dock Monday frofo Hamburg. Among other passengers on board tbe Deutschland was John D. Rockefeller Mr. White said, In answer to questions regarding affairs in China, that -Emperor Wllllam’s speech to the soldiers wbo are going to China, was generally misinterpreted. “He never meant,” the ambassador said, “to tell them to give tbe Chinese no quarter. Nobody so understood his speech until some French papers put that construction on It. Tbe first time 1 beard of such an interpretation was when 1 received a certain Paris paper. Tbe emperor la an eax>tional man and be may be Inclined to yield to the im­ pulse of tbe moment, perhaps, but he knows how to control himself, and be certainly never meant to commend bls •oldiera to be merciless. What be did say to them was that they should beer' in mind that they were going to face a desperate foe. “Germany feels deeply the- assassin­ ation of her minister," Mr. White con­ tinued. “Baton Von Ketteler was a su[>erior man. He was much admired and his sad death may have a deep Impression." Thr«ea uf a New Era. Speaking of the general situation In China, Ambassador White said with enthusiasm: "The present conflict means tbe birth-throes of a new era. It means tin* loginning of the opening of China to the Civilized world." “Is there any talk of partition in Germany?” was asked. “Oh, no. This trouble will never terminate in such a way. Tbe war win end In the allied powers dictating terms to China.’’ “Admiral KenrpfTs conduct iu Chi­ na,” Mr. White said further, was at first misconstrued, but now the Ger­ mans approve of his policy. Russia is looked on with the usual distrust," the ambassador continued, "but the fact that she and Germany fight shoulder to should^- in China tends to improve the feeling tween tbe two coun­ tries." In conclusion the ambassador touched on the admiration felt (n Germany for our arms. "German attaches who saw our men fight are most exuberant I a their pral*%»s of our army and navy, of the valor and skill of our soldier* and sailors. In this connection it may be said that our war with Spain and tbe part we played in the Chinese conflict has opened the eyes of Europt*, and made It see a good deal more of us than it had done before." Asked what be thought of tbe cabled report that Russia mid Ger­ many would declare for war conjoint­ ly against China, the aml«ssador said: “I think It is very likely. Both coun­ tries have the same cause for war and both would have a common cause for acting together." No Partition of China. He did not think partition will be made to China, and said on this su<>ject: “I do not think that the powers will divide China. The condition that meets them now is the pacification of tbe country. There is no talk of parti­ tion in Germany tuxl I do not believe that there will be any on tbe part of tbe other powers. There is a blx un­ dertaking before tbe pow«rs. and they cannot go into this with ahy feeling or desire for division of tbe Cbinese empire. The first thing te the rescue of tbe foreign ministers. Then will come tbe restoration of peace. Indem­ nities and such other solutions of the affair will follow.” Special Agent of the Mutual Life W New York, Aug. 7.—A special from Washington says: It is learned on exceAent wtbority that Gen. Nelson A. Miles has recently applied for service In China. His application bus doc been granted. War department officials say that Gen. Chaffee was sent to China to command tbe American troops, and to relieve trim nt thia time would be a reflection on bls conduct of affairs. Friends of Gen. Mlles say, on the other hand, that Gen.

To buy furniture without coming to Grand Rapids is like traveling through England without see­ ing London—and to make a single purchase before inspect­ ing the superb showrooms and viewing the handsome stock of the Sample Furniture Co. is similar to deciding on the greatest play without hav­ ing read Shakespeare.

To keep a horse in a dark stable Is cruel to the animal and dwforow to Its owner. When Ted out the sudden change from darkness to daylight Is very trying to the horse’s eyes.

The horse starts and shies at objects Jt sees im­ perfectly. and many a dangerous Acci­ dent has been caused by this rather than any vicious habit of the animal.

These may be regarded as symbols of religion, but 1 noticed that where they were tbe most numerous, the Inhabitants were Ig­ norant, and lived In bouses filled with fi th and squalor. Tbe natives in this section of the country are very primitive • in manner, and dress in picturesque and romantic style. The men wear immense shoes and a bright colored sash around tbe waist. The women dress very rudely , and when t.'t bare headed wear a colored cloth 1 over the head. The children run about in a very abbreviated attire, except indoors, where they are generally clad only in Nature’s clothes. The lite of the peasant k very simple—he merely exists from day to day. Early in the morning the farmers who .ive In the quaint villages strung along lM>’.b sides of tbe road, go to the • fieMs where their lite is spent.

Then all lie face downward with their implements beside them fur a four^ours’ siesta after which they resume work. Near on? of the towns we met a small girl heavily laden with a loaf ot bread about the size of a small cart-wheel. We attempted v take her picture, but she ...... .Uot..nd ran away la ter­ ror.

The toilet rooms are convenient and well arranged, and the rule* of correct sanita­ tion have been well developed. Tbe Banner unreservedly endorses and commends tbe SchoolJioard for mak­ ing these Improvements in both school buildings and school grounds. We wish every father and mother whose child­ ren attend our city schools would visit tbe buildings and grounds, and see for themselves Jiow much has been done that Is wise and helpful and useful to their Children by the School Board. If they would do this, the endorsement trie Board would be unanimous. While commending the school board, for without Its action nothing aould have been done, the Banner wishes to give especial commendation to tbe Committee on Buildings and Grounds, composed of Dr. D, £. Fuller, Dr. G. W. Lowry and J. T. Lombard. It Is very fortunate for tbe city and its citizens that it cao have tbe services of three such men—all of them busy men. having interests their own that require their attention and effort. .Nevertheless all of them have given to tbe work of tbe school board In general, and that ot their committee tn particular, a great deal of time and atten­ tion. It is wise to select such men for such positions, and these three men have certainly served the board and this city with great credit to all concerned. _ Tbe Banner wishes to add a sugges­ tion before closing this article. We trust the school board will see its way cleir to order the central school bulldin? painted. Tbe outside appearance of that budding is tbe only ugly feature of the school grounds. A good coating of red paint for tbe brick would test for years and would then make tbe building and grounds WED. SHIVELY—Died, at his home in Carlton.

The editors of this city feel under last­ ing •bllgatlouB (?) to tbe Printing Com­ mittee of tbe Board of Education for fav­ oring Nashville with Ito printing. We congratulate Brother Feighner, of tbe News upon hls securing the Job and get­ ting out a beok that is creditable in every way, but we denounce tbe pinch-penny methods of tbe printing committee in dealing with home printers. As far as tbe profits on such a job goes. It doesn’t cut any figure. There isn’t a printer In town bnt what donates a good many times what the profits wonld be every year, but It is the principle of tbe thing. Home printers offered to print 400 of the 20 page year books, including cover, on good book paper, for $8.00 per hun­ is a' great year for Bay View. The season began a little late on account of rain and cool weather, but during tbe last two weeks tbe old time crowds have been coming. Tbe Assembly has been one of unvarying excellence, and has never, as 1 believe, been so well at­ tended. Tbe lecturers, the list of which Includes such names as Elijah P.

In addition to all these there are entertainments by magicians, vitascopes, stereoptlcan lectures, tbe one showing tbe Paris Exposition being par­ ticularly Interesting, and tbe annual spell­ ing match.

Burdick St, II Peoples’ Word of tbe advance soon spread throughout official quarters, in the cuthusiasm of the moment a report got about that this was tbe day for the actual arrival at Pekin. Bnt tbe war department had not a word of tbe nd­ (vance beyond Ho-SFWu. It was deem­ cd hardly likely that the march to Pekin could have tM*en made since ln.*t Thursday. At the rate of progress, six miles a day, made from Yangtsun to Ho-Si-Wu. about twenty-four miles, would have been covered in the last four daye. and up to Monday tills would still leave die international forces nine miku from 1‘eldu. Viewed from any staudix’int. the advance to Ho-81 Wu was of tbe utmost importance, not only strategically, but also in showing that communication was open b.ick to Chee Foo, that the expected opposition from Chinese hordes bad not U»ea suf­ ficent to prevent the steady forward movenumt, and in the influence it would exert upon the Chinese government SltUMtlos Deaperate. । London, Aug. 14.—The British consul at Canton, says the Dally Telegraph’s corresjjondeut there, tom nTelved the following message dated Aug. 0 from Bjr Claude MacDonald, British minister In Pekin: | "Our situation here Is desperate.

Last year bat 187 soldiers were regis­ tered, while this year there were 370. The attendance Thursday and Friday was very large, especially on Friday, when Col. Bliss, of Saginaw, republican candi­ date for governor, and Hon. W. C. Maybory, of Detroit, democratic nominee for tbe same honor, were both present and talked to the people. In both of tbe speeches the question of politics was barred out. Col. Bliss was formerly Post Department Commander of tbe G. A. R., of Michigan, and he confined his remarks almost wholly to the boys in blue and to their wives. Mr. Maybnry gave the boys a good “jollying up,” telling stories and cracking jokes that kept the audience in a continual roar. At the business meeting beld Friday W. F.

To-morrow mamma and I move out of the dear old house to go to the city—where I must earn my bread. If papa bad let! us rich it would have been different, then—we— oh Erwin!” and the orave voice brok* as the girl leaned her fair head upon the fence in front of the pretty house and wept, for the first time since her father had died, only -one short week before “But I tell you,” said the young man. almost angrily, “I shall earn enough for both—and more.” "Your mother!" “Who cares what mother nays. And tn time. Alice, when she knows you better—” “She has known me from chllflhood. and now she says that we must part, you to marry tbe heiress and I to go to the city and work. But. oh, I Ibye you. Erwin." "Say it again, my darling * “I love you—love you—I love you.” panted the girl, lifting her head and ahnost brushing the young man’s shoulder as she spoke, “love you bet­ ter than all tbe world. But you must go Your mother says—” Ami before ne could speak or pre­ vent her she had dashed through the gate and up the gravel path and dis­ appeared into the house. “It's a shame!” ejaculated the young man. “But Alice need not think she can escape me so easily. Marry the heiress! As if I could ever marry any­ one'else after seeing her sweet face." Aa Erwin Wardman spoke he turned •away from the cottage and walked toj ward his own handsome horn® In the I other part of the village. Despite the difference in their fortunes the Ward­ mans and the Neilsons had been friends all their lives and It was under­ stood that Erwin and Alice would mar­ ry some day. But when Mr. Neilson died, leaving his wife and child almost penniless, the wise ones shook their heads, for well they kuew the ambi­ ’ tious plans which Mrn Wardman bad cherished for her son. High up on a bluff ir the finest part of the town lived the Montague fam­ ily, and every day the Uveried coach­ man drove Miss Montague and her mother through the town. The towns­ people knew, and Alice knew, and all knew, that Mias Montague bad looked with favor upon handsome Erwin Wardman, and it was for-the heiress 1 I that bls mother intended 'him. Yet Erwin Wardman was a man and might have married the girl of his 1 ehoice. , w That evening when Erwin Wardman went dowA to call upon Alice be found her gone and the house closed. “Strange she did not tell me she was going so soon,” he muttered, and for the first time an angry thought came into bis mind.

That evening Alice left the little boarding house in the village, where no one had known her, and went tor awalk. instinctively her feet turned toward the old cottage, and. before she real­ ized it. she stood upon the threshold of the happy old home. It was closed and the vines grew thick over the en­ trance.

"I am in Mayville looking for a situation.” "Gladly.” said the gentleman, “since little Erwin has taken such a fancy to you." "All that autumn and all winter Alice lived in the Wardman household, for of course it was the elegant home of Erwin Wardman in which she found herself, and day after day she de­ voted herself more and more lovingly to the child, who loved her better than he had ever loved his haughty mother If Alice seldom saw the master of the house it was her own fault, for she avoided him. And so two years passed, the little •• Erwin growing and developing wonder­ fully under the gentle guidanceship of bis beloved nurse. One morning in autumn Alice slipped | away to visit the old house. There were people living in it now, but she walked to the gate and stood looking ■ down at thek nright flowers within "They are from the seeds I planted so I ! long ago.”'she murmured, “and to! i think it is the anniversary of the day । I left the dear c-ld house forever-r- ’ mother and I. ’ > "Beg pa.don: viere you speaking'" Alice turned with a star., for Ute voice was that of Erwin Wardman and there at bcr side he stood, looking at ber with tue tenderness he could no j longer conceal in his eyes.

The mad race was kept up for some time, and finally all the mice disap­ peared as If. by magic. One of the spectators went Into the store and asked how many mice there were m the cage, stating that he and his com­ panions bad not been able to decide, as they moved too quickly to be counted. A clerk said there was only one mouse and It was Impossible to count it ex­ cept when It was asleep, and, aelng a look of incredulity on the countenance of the caller, raised the top of the* cage and showed one little black-and-white mouse, nestling on a piece of cotton in a corner.

If the blood is in a pure, healthy condition, no poisonous elements can reach the skin. External applications of washes, lotions and salves sometimes mitigate the itching and soothe th® inflammation, but cannot reach the disease. Only S. S. S., the real blood medicine, can do this. S. S. S., the only purely vegetable remedy known, is a safe and pcraanent cure for Eczema and all deep-seated blood and skin troubles. It goes direct to the seat of the disease, neutralizes the acids and cleanses the blood, re-inforces and jevigoratea all the organs, and thus clears the system of all impurities through the natural channels; the skin relieved, all inflammation subsides, and all signs of the disease disappear.

Of late years the general view has been that the interior of the globe, though partly liquid, is for the; most part solid. Some, says Peairson’a Weekly, have considered that a sec­ tion through the earth would show the following: (1) An outer solid envel­ ope, (2) a semi-fluid envelope! (3) a fluid envelope, (4) a semi-fluid envel­ ope and (5) a solid nucleus'. Na 1 re­ sults from a reduced temperature only; No. 2, from a pressure and tem­ perature not quite sufficient -fori lique­ faction; No. 3. from a temperature suf­ ficiently high to produce complete liquefaction; No. 4. from a pressure so great as to prevent even the terrific heat which most certainly exists deep down in the earth from completely liquefying the material on which it works; No. 5, from a pressure which overcomes completely the liqiefylng power even of the maximum beat of the interior. This pressure Is esti­ mated to be. at the centre of the earth, 7,180,593,750 pounds to the square foot, a pressure so enormous that no known substance could fuse beneath IL Even hydrogen at the highest possible tem­ perature, would, under such condi­ tions, become as hard as a diamond! Hence it seems probable that, far from there being a vacuum at the centre of the earth, there is a mass of intensely solidified matter there.

The reason why the mechanism for making the noises that give realism to a play are never seen by the audience Is because the illusion would be com­ pletely destroyed if its operations were exposed to view, explains Frank­ lin Fyles in the Indies’ Home Journal. The noise of the ^waiter falling down stairs with a tray of dishes, for in­ stance, is simulated by dropping, as often as necessary, a basket filled w th bits of broken china; and a cylinderof silk, turned with a crank, drowing the cloth over wooden flanges gives a perfect rain and wind storm. A light­ ning accmpantment is made by touch­ ing an ordinary file to.n bit of carbon —both on live wires—ci nd thunder by rolling ten-pin balls in a long, narrow, wooden trough. Tbe rumble of the wheels of a carriage is imitated with a vehicle like a miniature freight car run on a wooden track, and the strik­ ing of wood or metal on hard or soft,, surfaces serves to convince an audi­ ence of the approach or departure of a horse. ’ When there Is war a single shot or two is usually the real th’ng. but a rifle volley effect Is obtained by rapidly beating a dried calfskin with rattens, while heavy strokes on the bass drum will convey the idea of can­ nonading. If this mechanism were seen In operation by an audience it would make the whole performanc* teem ridiculous. JTILL MORE COUNTERFEITING. The Secret Service has unearthed an­ other band of counterfeiters and secured a large quantity of bogus bills, which are so cleverly executed that tbe average person would never suspect them of be­ ing spurious. Things of great value are always selected by counterfeiters for Im­ itation, notably tbe celebrated Hoatettees Stomach Bitters, which has many imita­ tors but no equals for Indigestion, dys­ pepsia, constipation, nervousness, and general debility. The Bitters sets things right in the stomach, and when tbe stomach Is in good order It makes good blood and plenty of IL In this manner tbe Bitters get at tbe seat of strength and vitality, and restore vigor to tbe weak and debilitated.

John Chinaman has reason to know that McKinley bas a large amount of .genuine back bone. President McKinley bas fearlessly and Taltbfuily carried out the principles of tbe 'republican party. Indiana Democrats are getting terribly Imperialistic. They are organizing “Bry­ an Soldier dubs.” The national credit under President MoKinley has reached tbe highest point In tbe history ot the country. Chas. Towne is to follow Roosevelt on a stumping tour, and we will wager that Toddy will keep him bury. Kansas has already experienced tbe ben­ efit of expansion, aud has shipped a targe cargo of flour to Hong Cong. Within tbe last four years tbe number of bank depositors lu Colorado bas In­ creased over one hundred per cent. A treaty of amity, commerce, naviga­ tion and general Intercourse has been signed between the United States and -Spain. . ,lr. ro:1 »ome littu Frod Bartow has roturned from Un uprising acMaat Spanish authority Far FraoMaaL William McKinley, Afl CONGKKSoIONAL. g requeeL but of hto own volition. Again in Manila, Agulnaldo revived his old toaderebip over the Tagals which be had •old to the Spanish, organized a sort ot government, elected himself a dictator, assumed a golden whistle and baton as embtems of authority. Issued a few proc­ lamations and imagined himself tte whole thing. At first be was friendly toward tbe Americans, but When tbe Americans refused to recognise hto author­ ity In tte premises, be became a hostile but still professing friendship be plotted a massacre of all tbe Americans, soldiers and civilians alike. In Manila. Tbe plot was frustrated. and then the war was on, and that it is not entirely suppressed is largely due to tbe encouragement tte enemies of our own government have received from this country. When tbe Spanish treated for peace they did not recognize tbe Tagals In the negotiations. Tte Tagals constituted but one of tbe several tribes in tbe islands; they had no go*ernment, no reeponsloility and\so valid claims of sovereignty- ’to be taken Into account and never did have any. Tbe Agulnaldo government was looked upon as a mushroom affair, not entitled to serious consideration. Tbe Spanish, recognized sovereigns of tbe territory for several centuries, did busl-nees solely and exclusively with the Amer­ icans. At the conclusion of tbe nego­ tiations tte islands were turned over to us In fee simple and we plaeed ourselves under tbe most sacred and binding oblW Rations to protect the Spanish suojeets wbo remained in tbe Islands, in their property. Ilves and rights. These obli­ gations were not to Spain alone. In as­ suming title over tte islands we guaran­ teed to all the world that tbe people of all nations should bave the same protec­ tion, and that tbe islands should have a stable government Exactly similar guar­ antee? were given when we acquired Florida from Spain, the Louisiana ter­ ritory from France and' Alaska from Russia. We bave fulfilled our treaty obligations in this country by tbe sup­ pression of Indian uprisings; we will do the same In tbe Philippines by putting down tte Tagal Insurrection. When Os­ ceola. tbe Seminole chieftain, went on tbe war path to dispute our sovereignty over Florida, It would bave been as rational for us to bave surrendered our rights, responsibilities and treaty obligations to him as to retire In favor of Agulnaldo In the Philippines now. Three quartan of a century after France transferred the Louisiana territory to us, Sitting Bull raised tbe standard of independence In tbe northwest and It to a matter of his­ tory as to what happend. While we were In full possession of Manila, though two dgys before the possession was formally confirmed by tte ratification, of tte treaty tbe Tagals under Agulnaldo rose against our authority. It was not a war of one organized and recognized government honest money. Why Is tte gallant etem­ ptan of *96 thus hedging If policy Is not ~ti-, only foundation of government. directing his course?

BANK CLEARING!. The best gauge of the volume of boslueaa in tbit country Is tbe bank clearings returns. They show, as no other figures’ cab, the trade movement. Never in the history ot tbe(United Siatefl have they shown such a ■nrre- gate of business, such an immense increase as during* tbe years of the McKinley ad­ ministration. The figures are from Brad­ street's reports and are accepted by all buslneer men as official. Tbe comparison J is made with tbe year 1894, as that Is tbe year In which the Democratic policy of handling tbe finances of tbe country was | in fnll sway. In 1894 tbe grand total of tbe bank clearings of tbe United States for the first six months ot 1894 were 832,085,071.196.

Everything about Genevieve that day \told me there was something wrong, but it would never have enter­ ed my head to ask her what it was. She was one of those frank, open girls, who don’t tell things beyond a certain point, and who, by their very good fellowship, keep a man at a certain distance. She gave me more than she did to some people, and I was grateful; but I never rushed in. A chance re­ mark, made without a suspicion of where I was treading, brought things to a crisis. It was at the end of a stodtoy after­ noon, and we were sitting over the fire, she in a deep wicker chair, and I down on the hearth rug. She wasn’t paying the least attention to what I was saying. When a bucket of rain would slash against the window, she would look over her shoulder, with a nervous twisting of her lips, and her fingers kept doing exercises on tbe arm of her chair or plaiting up the ribbons of her dress. The house shook a little, and that made me think of the ocean, and that suggested Powers, and I spoke without * glimmer of in.tentlote "Why,, Powers sailed to-day, didn’t her* She didn't answer, and I looked up. I don't suppose I had ever really seen the girl before. The guard Wax gone and she was staring into the fire with an expression that struck me dumb. Bhe rubbed tbe back of her forefinger first across one cheek and then across tbe other, as though absently, but I saw. ’ . The conventionally suitable thing would have been for me to clear out, but I didn’t I took one of^Jyr hands and gripped it Her head Wnt down on the arm of her chair, and we sat there without speaking for a while. Then she began in the middle, as though she had been telling me about it all along. “He couldn’t have cared for me, any­ way. We aren’t the same kind," she said. “He looks on life, while I am always in the very centre, living it He is Interested and sympathetic, but always the Im personal critic. I don't believe he ever had an overwhelming impulse In his life. He moves by de­ liberate theories. We’re altogether different" “But, Genevieve, he thought a lot of you, I know——” I was blundering on. but she broke In. “Oh. be likes me; he is even fond of me. He was telling me I was his best friend, his comrade. Ca~'t you see what that meant? Bnt it was that or nothing, and I couldn’t give him up, so I kept the other way down under. I -don't think be guessed." • . “If you had shown it a little, wouldn’t it have- — 1 continued. She shook her bead and started to speak, then faltered. Evidently this -was the hardest of all to say. At last it came, with an effort that made me set my teeth. "He couldn’t have fallen in love with a woman who—hadn’t beauty! The artist in him was too strong. I should have recognized that in Mm, even If be hadn’t—3nce—told me so. He told me as If he—meant me to un­ derstand it! "It is not his fault; it’s the way he’s made. But it kept me from .ever showing what I felt as nothing else could have—nothing on earth!” forgotten that Genevieve was not pret­ ty. You grew so fond of her face that you never thought of her features. "I can see perfectly that we couldn't have been happy together,” she went on. as though impressing a line of rea­ soning on heroelf. "I should have been horrible Jealous of every very beautiful woman be especially if be >uld forgive her •rs. I m each I wanted to tell her a hundred com­ forting thtw, but I knew belter. Bhe was not in a wood tor anything but what she considers the truth. “It would have been a real calam­ ity If he eared," she bkm. going on with her pitiful argument against her­ self. “He must be free, if be Is to suc­ ceed. and oh, he has genius! Did you see his bead of Gerard? Oh, it would be a crime to come between Mm and pen.

I wasn t It was the same kind of an after­ noon. nearly two yfcars later, that I hunted up Powers in Paris. His suc'cess hadn’t brought a bit of big bead with it, aud he was as glad to see.m< as if we stilb belonged to tbe same world. Almost bis first question was about Gehevisve. but I couldn’t tel! him much. I hadn’t seen her for a year, and though she had promised tc write to me. I bad nev^r received mort than one or two conventional notes. “That girl,” said Powers thoughtful­ ly, “meant more to me than any wo­ man I ever met in my life.” I held my breath ^nd Waited. Pow­ ers was never moved to a burst of con­ fidence in his life, but he was always ready to cooly analyze himself, body and mind and soul, for anyone who was interested. “I don’t suppose a man ever was as much in Jove as I was. and fought it so resolutely," he went on. “I suppose she knew it—girls generally do—but I never once let it come tn’ the surface. I didn’t really acknowledge it to mysdf till the day I sailed, a day some­ thing like this. Theo—whew!" He shook his head, his eyes contracting at tbe memory. ‘ "But why did you fight?” I asked. “Well, there I was with my future absolutely uncertain and the big fight before me, and I wanted to go into it free. I was horribly ambitious, and when it came to choosing between my­ self and my work, myself had to- go every time. Besides, it would have been brutally unfair to her. even if she ' had cared It might Fave been years and years before I cou d marry. How could I know I was<oing to be so lucky?” "Then, she didn’t care!" I asked. I had sworn not to te . and heaven knows I didn't want Sro. but the se­ cret was forcing its way out in spite of me. I felt as though I had two lives in my hand. “No she was just a good comrade, and I tried to fool m’self by taking the same attitude, though I don’t sup­ pose it fooled anybody else. If she had ever shown the least symptom—oh. I’d have given in in a second. But she never cared a bit—said go*rt bye to me as jolly as could be the night before I left." The secret waa scorching my tongue, but my promise to Genevieve still kept me debating. “Her features weren’t a bit good, but she had the most expressive face I ever saw, and the me st attractive." Powers said. "It had a; beauty higher than that ot form and l oloring, a. ooru of inspiration. 1 have t rted a hundred times to catch it, eap< dally in that martyr-over there on f « easel. It is a look of pluck and rak^jance and—oh, I don’t know! I can’t get it!” I knew, and opened my lips to speak, then hesitated again. "It’s so strange,” he went on. “She always prophesied that I would fall in love, quite deliberately, with some beautiful peasant girl over here, a wo­ man of the people, perfect physically, with a lovely nature, and no Intellec­ 1Bn-. tual power whatever. Queer, wasnr .Y jB it? But I forgot,” he added. “V^haven’t seen mj^wife.” I started up. There n is a tumult in my mind. but. God f. Vgive me, it wasn’t an unhappy one. "You are married?" U "Yea, my wife is an Italian. She sat for that head in the comer. Gene­ vieve sent me such a bright little note about it, when I wrote and told her. She was the only clever woman that I wanted to marry. Odl how a man can go through wbat r did and yet marry another woman eighteen months later. 1 wonder if women are that “I wonder!"

The great oil trust turns to profitable use the re­ fuse of its crude petroleum after all its Products for lighting, heating, lubri­ cating dnd healing bave been drawn from it. That refuse was a nalsance to the re­ finer and to the neighbors whose mis­ fortune it waa to dwell within breath­ ing distance of the refineries. It had to be disposed of somehow, and tbe how was usually offensive to the com­ munity. and many lawsuits and injunc­ tions were the result All that has been changed, and refuse oil no lon­ ger pollutes the streams that flow by the refining works of the Standard Oil company. That oil Is sold at three cents a gallon or thereabouts. A bright mind out in California a few years ago evolved the idea that crude oil mixed with the covering of high­ ways would make the surface firmer and prevent the accumulation of dust Practical tests proved the worth of the idea, and Its projector went at once to Washington and got patents not only for the new oil-sprinkling ma­ chine be had Invented, but for the idea Itself as well. Wheeling, a Los Ange­ les cycling authority, calls preposter­ ous the claim that the patent covers the general idea of the use of-oil In any form on roads, and that no roads can be sprinkled with oil without paying royalty to the California Dustless Roads company. In this the otherwise careful Los Angeles journal is mlrtaken. according to some of the fore­ most patent lawyers In the land. There have been no lawsuits, because tbe Intelligent counselors for possible defendants have found Invariably up­ on proper investigation that the patent on the idea of using oil In that partic­ ular connection is covered and pro­ tected in the patent issued by the Gov­ ernment. That in itself-is an inter­ esting. feature of the new industry. Now some of the greatest railroad corporations in the country are using the idea successfully in their efforts to subdue duet along their routes, and all are paying royalties of |20 a mile to the Dustless Roads Company for the privilege. Tbe fact that this refuse oil is the best adapts! 'for the purpose opened up tbe new avenue of profit for the oil trust. The Long Island and the Pennsylvania railroad companies were the first important corpora­ tions of the kind to experiment with the refuse oil along certain stretches of their roadbeds where stone ballast was impracticable. Both found toe oil sprinkling to be effective not only in »iying th? duet, but in protecting tbe roadbed and ties as well.

The Id to, borrowed from the “Peerless State of the Golden West.’’ as the Los Angeles Times puts K., Is likely to become one of the most Important factors In main­ tenance of way in railroad economy. When W H. Baldwin, Jr., accepted the task of reincarnating the Long lel’and railroad, about three yeare ago, one of the first big schemes he under took In the line of reform was the oil device of the Californians for prevent­ ing the clouds of dust from inundating tbe trains on his lines In dry weather. The new president knew about the patents In existence and waited a fall year before putting tbe oiling system in- use on the Long Island roadbeds, so as to determine whether or not the owners of the patents were entitled legally to the royalties demanded. The most able patent lawyers in the coun­ try were engaged to hunt up the rec­ ords. the result of their research beifig the opinion that the novelty of the idea entitled the patent covering It to fml protection under the laws, and that t$e, patentees can collect royalties legally. That much having been settled defi­ nitely. the Long Island railroad .tartod an active campaign against the dm. early in 1898.

Now it is said to be tbe peer of any school yard in Michigan In point of beauty, by Instruetora who have visited the leading schools of tbe state. Who would change tbe present yard back to its former deplorable euoditloe for $1.44 an each $1,000. asteflsed valuation? We feel that those who would dose, not only show a proper ^lack ot public spirit, but would also deprive tbe children of the beautiful surround­ ings, which have no small influence on the lives of scholars. Were this an im­ provement that would have to be repeat­ ed every year or two we should decidedoppuse IL But it la permanent and teert* j to stay, adds beauty to the city, and has an ennobling influence on the lives of all who appreciate the beautiful. As soon as tbe exterior ‘of the building is painted Hastings will have a building and yard second io none. Several of tbe teachers, are showing commendable Interest in -fixing up their roomfl. Tne Influence of good surroundings cannut be measured in dollars and cents, and Considering that from one half to one third of tbe life of scholars is spent In school, too much pains cannot be taken In making the sur­ roundings as beautiful, as pleasant, and as healthful as possible. • some members of that party are not above doing it. Further than this, such “trae-. Ing” would be a direct slap atC.,8. Pal­ merton of Woodland, and J. G. Nagler of this city. Both gentlemen received tbetr nominations honestly at tbe hands of tbe republican county convention, aod are worthy of the united and hearty support of all republicans. Tbe democrats who desire to do this “trading” doubtless have a deeper motive, and that ia to get on a scrap between C. S. Palmerton and Sam­ uel Velte, both of whom are candidates from Woodland, for tbe purpose of help­ Ing tbe democratic nonines for Clerk. Mr. Stowell. But we can tell them now that it will “flzxle oat,” as all democratic schemes da Mr. Velte’a friends will stand solid for Mr. Palmerton and Mr. Palmerton’s friends will stand pat for Mr. Veits. Republicans should stand solidly by tbe expressed wish of tbe eooveotfon, and thus not only manifest their disap­ proval of the“per*oualiUes’’attempted to be ' Injected Into tbe campaign against repub­ lican nominees, but also to teach renegades that tbe idea of trading will not be* tote rat­ ed. Republicans should especially be­ ware of “personalities” which are being circulated against several republican book loees, and should “set down bard” on any and every proposition to “trade.” We have learned also that tbe democrats have made propositions to trade tbetr candidate for Attorney General, if republicans will vote for Thomas SulUvan, for Probate Judge. ..

Like chat despatch, this is dateless as to Pekin. The contents were not made public, but It was stated that it courained nothing mu terhilly changing the {situation. The lack of date led to a determination to take energetic steps by which all dispatches hereafter com­ ing to tbe state department from China will have tbe date clearly stated.

So all the boys mad» a point of doing this. But the prettiest of.all’tne pretty girls of Hartford was not well satis­ fied. Her lover had not been one of tbe heroic ten. He was Indeed com­ fortably at home watering the front lawn of his father's place when sho came along on her wheel In the e.irlv morning. He ~ saw her and callen out cheerily: Are you the early bird or the eariy pie from Bethlehem, Allentown and surrounding txnrns to Atlantic City. This sectton carried otoy three per­ sons who lived In Bethlehem and Al­ lentown and left Uie Union depot In Bc^/lehem at a. m., exactly thlr- ty-uve minutes behind the milk train. The latter train constated of two milk cars and two passenger coaches and bad stopped at every station on the road from Bethlehem en route to Phil­ adelphia. At ti:45 the milk train drew' tip at the milk platform at. Hatfield, and in less tb&u two minutes the spe­ cial excuraton train, running at the rate of thirty-five miles an hour, crashed into the rear of the milk traiu. The locomotive plowed through the two paasenger coaches and crushed them as if they were egg shells. The milk car immediately In front was also badly wrecked. Four persons, GodKaelin, his lUuchu-r. Mamie. Harold Landis and Wm. Blackburn, on the l“*ssea^er car train, were Fortunately —““ killed, --------------almost instantly there were very few persons on this train. The excursion train was a picture of indescribable horror. The foooinotive was a mass of bent and broken iron and firmly helji the bodies of Its engineer and fireman beneath its great weight. Behind the engine, six of the ten oars were also a mass of wreck­ age. Tbe first car was broken in twain and the other five cars were thrown on their sides, completely de­ molished. Nine persons were killed in the first these two cars and tbe others In .8 soon coaches were badly maimed. as tbe crash came a terrible c_, rose i- who from the crushed cars and those !

I Messenger* were sent to the nearby I Tillages for physicians and a relief train was telegraphed for from Beth­ lehem. With fifteen doctors and half a daaen nurses a special train was Mmt from Bechlehom but before it ^reached the scene of the wreck, it was signaled to revurn to Bethfebem as a special carrying nearly all the injured bad started for the iiosplial at that place. On the run from Hatfield to the hos­ pital three of the Injured died. Great trouble was experienced In keeping the retarives away from the injured on the train so that the doctors gathered from the' near Hatfield could attend wounded. it Bethlehem. The special train arrived nt Bethle­ hem at IISW and was met by fully 5,<MM) persons all clamoring to get a bit of news of tbe wreck or trying to learn whether loved ones were among the victims. The news of the wreck bad reached Bethlehem at 8 o’clock aud spread like wildfire. All the police of the town gathered at the station and it was wl.h great difflk-ulty that tbe injured were removed to the waiting ambulances and other vehicles which conveyed them to the hospitals.

Then, controlling him­ self. he said briefly: "1 shall call tor you this afternoon." And after assisting her on her wheel he strode up the path to his house. By late afternoon Nan had decided that there was no doubt about the mis­ take. She could never be proud with a temperamental coward. She could not aprpove of any one of such a pa­ cific. pusillanimous character. He might apologize for it all he pleased— he talked well. But his talking made no record of heroic deeds. Such a life as the one he proposed leading would not enrich the annals of a family. The restless roans kicked up the dust of the summer road, and Nan could not refuse a glance of admiration at them as she came/slowly down the path to the carriage that afternoon. She had dressed herself soberly for her rd?, and her glowing auburn hair and flushed cheeks were the only vivid things about her. Her costume was black, srveire, like al! that she wore, with a distinctive style of its own. 1'11 have to ask you to get id the victoria alone. Nan." said her lover. "I have not got well acquainted with these baysjyet. and they fare restless. She^stepped lightly into the vehicle, and the’next moment they were dash­ ing down ftlv- road. She could not bring herself Ao speak, and Curtis said nothing. _|Z The country was beautiful with the splendor of the late summer upon It. and she watched it witb appreciative eyes. It seemed as if this swift jour­ ney might lake her away from the mis­ erable fact confronting her—the fact of her hero's fall. At the side of the road, several miles fromj town, was a’basket factory and the young horses, inexperienced in the noises of the world, took great fright at the steam exhaust. In a moment they had become frantic. Curtis WLjite stood up and wound the reigns several times about his stout young arms. His quieting voice rang out. laden with reassurance to th.A ter­ rified creatures. "SVady. steady, boys’ Tom, steady: Jim. whoa, there!' But with wild tossings of the head and leaps and swervlngs. they plung­ ed down the road. “The harness is new." he managed to say to Nan. "I think it will hold. Sit still. .1 am sure I can conquer them. Have confidence,' my dear." But an unexpected thing happened. In front of a farm house which they approached, two little children were seen sitting in the dust of the road playing, and at the side of the road was a pile of broken~bricks. To keep to the road was to kill the children. To turn was to bring destruction upon ‘ the horses, the vehicle and probably the persons within it. "It’s the babies or us. Nan." cried Curtis, with hard-drawn breath, ••Of course, we must take our chances.' "Of course," said Nan. She shut her eyes. She waited for the end. But it seemed to her that there was a slack­ ing of tbelr velocity. She opened her eys again, hardly conscious, to find that her companion had actually curb­ ed the horses till they were Tairly cowed. A moment more and he had them literally crouching, and the shaft was over the pile of bricks. Nan seemed to know what was re­ sired. She leaped from the victoria and picking the children up by their arms slung them out of harm's way and a few seconds later was back be­ side her lover. "No. n<>." he said. “You should not have come back. The danger itf not past." "I go where you go." she responded. "No matter bow far or how wildly you drive. I am going with you. now and always." The trembling horses regained tbelr feet. Dizzy and bewildered and drip­ ping with sweat they went down the road. Curtis soothing them with hia "You are not going to tell me that dreadful thing after all?" he found a chance to inquire. "I love you." she responded. ‘ 'ion are a brave man."—Chicago Tribune.

Alleys of greater length than any tn um to-day were built in the open fields. Balls hewn out ol atone were rolled by genuine Indian muscle. In fact, there is scarcely a popular kind of game played in this country to-day but that its counterpart can be found in the age of the red man. They were gamblers, too. even to forfeiting the clothes upen thsii backs, their wiver or their liberty. Strange to say. the average school history has abounded in a description of the Indian in nearly every point ex­ cept the details of the ga'nca he played. Relics of the Indian bowling alley are rare except in a few sections ot this country, thus showing that the game was not -a universal one. and of all the games which the Indis □ played bowling is undoubtedly the most remote. The Western Reserve Of Ohio was one of the centers for tte Indian bowlers In several parts cf Ashtahula county some of the olddr resi­ dents have these relics preserved, which they have picked up themselves In their early farming, usually In the open field. The balls used. Instead of being large wooden ones, like those In uh to-day, were, made of light-colored stone, and range in size from an or­ dinary league ball down to the com­ mon small toy rubber ball. The al­ leys were built of wood, carved out to make a reasonably smooth surface. The game was more to sec how far one could roll rather than accuracy in striking the ten pins at the opposite end of the alley. The alleys were built so long that it is alleged it Was a hard matter* to roll one of these stone balls so that It would reach the end. The Indians, too kept a score, aud, like In all other games, they gambled. The Indians were inveterate ball flayers and excellent "rooters.” Their game lasted Usually from 9 o'clock in the morning till sundown It was participated in by from 100 to 1,000 young men. divided into two sides, and the games were witnessed by from 3,000 to 5,000 men. women and chil­ dren. who formed an immense ring around the entire field. The enthusi­ astic Indian yells were not altogether unlike the noises of the modern ball park. . The game, however, resembled our football rather than baseball. When the ball was in the air there were kicks and struggles, maimed limbs and bruised bodies. A presc ribed line di­ vided the "rooters" of the two sides, and across this line the gambling took place. Old men were selected as um­ pires. Women on both sides brought the crude household goods of the fam­ ily to the ball park to be.staked on" the game. Stakeholders guarded the goods.’ The scene resembled two dis-: tinct camps,* although there was not; necessarily more than one tribe en-' gaged In the game. Prior to the game each Indian was provided with two instruments whichresembled our tennis rackets of to­ day. The judges threw the ball in the air. and immediately hundreds of In­ dians started after IL One finally suc­ ceeded in catching it between the large ends, of the two "tennis rackets." and threw it "home." or between two poles, the limit of one side or the oth­ er. This would count one peri nt to­ ward the game, and the side getting 100 points first won. Often In the terrible struggle for the ball difficulties would arise between two slightly injured contestants and the game would stop until they settled the dispute. The women also played ball. When the men were tired they would announce a game between the women, and prizes would be awarded to their .winning ■anislae’s asssMMt roBa. Tbe Fwty-serond IMlnok G. A.

The island, which is Inhabited by Greeks, is an out of the way place. No steamer ever anchors there, and only very seldom does a boat come there from Rhodes. The re­ sult ot this Isolation la that the Island­ ers live practically the samo life ns their ancestors have lived for centu­ ries. Many curious customs they have, but most curious Is the one to which Friedrlcn'von Vincenz, the only trav­ eler who hxx visited the Island for a very long time, has just drawg atten­ tion . The eldest daughter of a family in Telos Is her parents' sole heir, and she gets everything, while her brothers and slaters get nothing. “In tb< East," says Friedrich von Vincenz, "marriage is more an affair of busi­ ness than of the heart, and therefore, as a rule .the rich eldest daughter is the only one who gets married. If she has three or four other slaters, they invariably find tfielr home with her sooner or later, snfl work for her as -servants, while they also share in her husband's affections. "The bells ring on Sunday from the chapel and the monastery: the priests, the Bishops and the Patriarchs do their best to wean the people from this objectionable custom, and even the Turkish government has hinted that At would be well for the people to con­ form mure to the modern ideas av're­ gards matrimony and the bestowal of property.

Hu has, in fact, a varied assort­ ment and. among other articles, he deals in whisky. On Friday last the stately remnant of a noble race, John Henry, betook himaelf joyfully to Curtettfs store. Curtett knows the law. He is aware of the two years* impris­ onment and tbe $300 fine that stare in the face the man wbo dispenses John Barleycorn to the Indian. But there is always a chance of eluding detec­ tion, so, admonishing John Henry to go down to the green field beyond the swelling floods to imbibe the liquid, he measured out a quart and separated John Henry from his money.

IL.11 CONTAGIOUS BLOOD POISON Washington, Sept. 11.—Mtss Clara Barton laat night issued tbe Tollowicg Contagious Blood Poison is the most degrading and destructive of all distaaea, aa it vitiates and curupta the entire system. The first sore or ulcer is f^Dowed by little red pimples on the bodv, mouth and throat become acre, tl>8i glands enlarge and inflame, copper colored splotches appear, and hair and eyebrows fall out. Tbeae-are some of the milder symptoms; they increase in severity, finally attacking the vital organs ; the body Ul tortured with rheumatic pains and covered with offensive eating'sores. It i3 a peculiar poison, and so highly contagious that an innocent person handling the same article used by one infected with this loathsome disease, may be inoculated with the virus. It can be transmitted from parent to child, appearing as the same disease or in a modified form—like Eczema or Scrofula. Many an old sore or stubborn skin trouble appearing in middle life, is due and traceable to blood poison contracted in early life. You may have taken potash and mercury faithfully for two or three year* and thought you weie cured, but you were not, for these poisonous minerals never cure this disease; they drive it from the outside, but it is doing its work on the inside, and will show up again sooner or later. You may not recognize it as the same old taint, but it is. S. S. S. has cured thousands of cases of fo’Diery. Ala, writes: Contagious Blood Poison, and it will cure you. It is the. only purely vegetable blood purifier known, •Several yean ago I was inoculated with and the only antidote for this poison. S. S.

The changed condition of the country and the general prosperity of the peo­ ple under the administration of Presi­ dent McKinley is an occasion for con­ gratulation: Let us consider some of the grand achievements which have wrought so marvelous a change in the short, period of three years and a half. On the 4th of March, 1897, the scepter departed, from Judah and the inaugu­ ration of a republican president oc­ curred, For four years under demo­ cratic rule the land had been frescoed with misery and fringed with distress; with the advent of a republican admin­ istration the horiaon so long curtained with despair at once brightened with hope and the air so long heavy with the anxious entreaty of enforced idlers asking of compassion the crumb of charity became vocal with tbe happy harmony of requited toil, factory and forge, forest and farm joining in the grand anthem, filling the heavens with the uin of a nation’s industry. The progress we have made as a nation since the inauguration of President McKin­ ley is without parallel in history. The republican party came into power pledged to the policy of protec­ tion to American enterprise and Amer­ ican toil; that pledge was fulfilled on the 24th dfiy of July, 1897, by the enact­ ment of the Dingley tariff law, which not only reestablished the policy of protection, restored confidence and wooed back departed prosperity, but at the same time clothed the president with power to enter into reciprocal ar­ rangements with other nations for the enlargement of American markets. Under the operation of the new tariff law idle labor finds abundant em­ ployment, manufactures have in­ creased. ample - revenue has been secured, and as a nation we have entered upon commercial, conquests unprecedented in all time; in 1898, one year after tbe law became op­ erative, our exports for tj^e first time exceeded the domestic Exports of Great Britain, and a year later, in 1899, our foreign trade was tbe largest we ever bad, exceeding in the aggregate the sum of $2,000,400,000, the balance of trade in our favor reaching nearly JAOO.OOC.OOO. and will during 1900 rx- need WSO.OOO.OOO. ■ During the three years of the present administration from March 1. 1897, to March i, 1900. the excess of exports over imports has been nearly or quite"four times greater than durihg the entire period from the organization of the re­ public down to the end of Mr. Cleve­ land’s first term, and still the good Work goes od, af the report for 1900 will show an increased export trade, and that one-third of our exports will be the products of our bury toilers in fsetory, furnace and mill.

J 5th, 1886. subscribed ■ tor $1,400,000,000, being seven times more than was called for. The maintenance of the public credit apital was established by the enactment of a law early in the present year which $20,000.00. virtually und effectively places the gov­ urplus, ernment on a gold basis, thus recog-* Jnizing that standard which commerce For Sale Cheap harbor in the Southern Pacific. The Hawaiian islands have been added, to our .poRFvssiona. a government ertablishec'there. *«nd» th|» flag which thq democracy when in power had dishon­ ored aga.in floats over those Blands, an enduring emblem of our national sov­ ereignty. A« a result of the war Spanish Cuba was-, freed from Spawish rule nrxT the pathway paved for ita early independ­ ence Porto Rico welcomed Gen. Miles and his army, not as invaders, but as messengers o( mercy on a mission of peace. We acvpiired unquestioned title to the unnumbered islands, in the east­ ern archipeingn: by'such acquirition we were called upon to exercise aov-^ ereignty over SO diffe..ent tribes unlike in language, cuntom; pnd civilization. The patriotic actionl^f the president has quelled an insurrection of the Tag­ aloa against our authority, and a stable government is now being pro­ vided which will recognize home rule •o far ns the condition of the islanders justifies. These are tbe grand achievement* which the administration.of President McKinley ha# written on the later pages of American .history. These facts, of record in the annals of the republic and which have so greatly pro.wpered the nation and shedan added and imperishable luster upon our name, are ignored by the Bryanitea as unconsidered trifles. If the people in November approve the American pol­ icy of the adminiivtrdtioD by the re­ election of President McKinley the na­ tion will be saved from the infamy of a debased dollar, an impaired credit and 1 a dishonored flag.

They have always preferred to have the factories of this country closed and the .. factories of Europe working “ . „ overtime,. When to - trade * that •is coming • the to this coun­ try from Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines is added that of Hawaii, the rage of the democrats and anti­ imperialists surpasses all bounds, al­ though the American wage worker is very* tranquil and pleased over the outlook. The following figures from the official report of the United States bureau of statistics, treasury depart­ ment, for the fiscal year ending Jane 30, 1900, are very interesting and in­ structive. -In 1896 the United States exported to Cuba $7,530,888. For the year ending June 30, 1900, the ^xports to Cuba were $26,513,613, an increase of nearly $19,000,000. In 1896 the United States exports to Porto Rico were $2,102,094. For the year ending June 30, 1900. they were $4/140,481, an increaae of over $2,000,000. In 1896 our exports to the Philippines were $162,406.

Nothing contributes more to good results than contentment and quiet surroundings. The feeder who disturbs the quiet and comfort of the flock every time he goes about it should quit the sheep business at once. Rough manners and harsh treatment absolutely disqualify any man for suc­ cess in this work. The natural timid­ ity and nervous temperament of the sheep necessitate gentle treatment. Their dainty habits about eating and drinking must also be indulged as fully as practicable. Na animal nat­ urally selects a wider variety of feed, particularly of rough forage and veg­ etation; but two essentials are always exacted,-viz., cleanliness and palatabllIty. Never give a sheep sny stale or undesirable feed, nor expect it to eat any feed left over from _ _ a previous meal. The ration should be always wholesome and tempting to the ap­ petite. The barn or stabling quarters should never be without a fresh, pure atmosphere and an am^le supply ot dry bedding. Sheep rarely suffer from cold if kept dry and protected from direct drafts.

If the amounts aul pro­ portions of fertilizing elements re­ moved by a crap could be taken as a guide la preparing a field for that crop, the problem of supplying the proper amounfr and kind of plant food to the soil would be much simplified.

The Philippines are to become' independ­ ent governments, in which the United States will have no interests. The United States will then extend the Monroe doctrine to the orient and protect from interference by other nations, with such governments as the Filipinos may have. All the world would resist such unwarrantable ex­ ercise of sovereign control in the’ orient. They would claim the right in the absence of any interest on the part of the United States to deal with the governments of the archipelago without any interference on the part of this government. Mr. ’ Bryan’s policy of establishing the Monroe doctrine in the orient would involve a larger military establishment than any country ever pomessed. It is perfectly safe to trust the United States to regulate the size of the army to met the Drtesslties of our own country and our own people, but when Mr. Bryan requires the people of this country to submit to taxation U» maintain a sufficient military force to dominate all the nation* of the orient ami regulate their intercourse, h«p requires them to submit to the worst conceivable imperial, military aiding.

We doubt If there is anyone but what recognizes the evils ot the liquor traffic, and many plans have been laid to destroy IL States have declared for Pro- ‘-ilbltlon of the traffic, counties have adopted local option, but all in vain.

We’believe that If the liquor traffic is ever stopped It will be through a strong public sentiment, a seotiment tbat wil 1 ■grow by means. of education and the studying of its evil effects in the schools of the country. It will be a sentiment tbat is confined to no particular party, and no particular chnrch. The cause of temperance is one that should be absolved from politics, and It lost its best friends the very moment It was made a polltlcal question. The prohibition party as it exists to-day is the outgrowth ot a great reform move­ ment tbat swept over this country a cou­ ple of decades ago in the form of the **red ribbon” movement, which numbered among its warmest supporters, men and women of all shades of political belief, the great majority of whom recognized temperance as a moral question rather than a political one. They recognized it as a question to be settled through tbe In licence of moral suasion, and appeals to reason and Intelligence In the homes and schools of the country, rather than to be hauled into politics as an Issue. Politics has been the death of many good questions—so many In fact tbat It has come to be a eau|e of remark tbat “If you want to kill it, get It Into poli­ tics.” Thus it was with tbe red ribbon movement. Scheming politicians and over zealous enthusiasts had to drag it Into politics, and the red ribbon movement went down. Tbe temperance question received Its blackest kind ot a black eye when it was launched into politics in tbe form of the prohibition party. Its osten­ sible object was to force people to be tem­ perate whether public sentiment was In favor of it or not. It’s real purpose, and tbe purpose for which it hat altbayt bcm used by tbe scheming poUtialano behind it. was. simply as a democratic annex, to defeat the republican party- ' As regards temperance It is Interest­ ing to note the attitudes of tbe various par­ ties. The republican party has taken tbe sensible position tbat human perfec­ tion is not here yet, and tbat is still a long ways off. It has taken tbe position tbat to stop tbe liquor traffic by prohibi­ tive law would be just about as effective as.to decree human perfection by law, and the experience of Prohibition laws In Maine and Iowa proves Ihat It was right. Tbe republican party baa taken the position that the best and most sen­ sible way to deal with tbe liquor traffic Is to restrict It by law. If public senti­ ment, a necessary element in tbe enforc­ ing of any law, was strong enough In this city, county, state or neighboring states, to enforce tbe laws tbe republican party has platted on tbe statute books, the temperance question in these places would be a long ways toward being set­ tled. The republican party has passed a law against treating, against selling to minors and common drunkards, restricted tbe sale of liquors to certain hours, a nd has given counties tbe right to say wheth­ er liquor shall be sold within their limits or not. What has been the record of the demo­ cratic party on the temperance question?

Oh, that Is a . :mighty good thing. Every Christian man 1and woman ought to take it up. I am surprised If it is true tbat the national ’ and other officers of the W. C. T.’U. have raised any objection to It. ' 1 am person­ ally acquainted with Mrs. Balch, the auth­ 1or of tbe plan, and assure you that she Is a level headed woman, and she knows well tbat agitation is the thing needed and tbat every Christian should pray that we may have a better president than Wm. McKinley. The woman tnat will criti­ cise her efforts ought to be ashamed. Mr. Brittep, In the above article given all of*the hopes and aspirations of the . Prohibition party dead away. The aspira­ tions ot the party according to hinn are condensed Into the desire for the defeat of President McKinley. It any evidence was wanting to prove tbat the Prohibition party is being u*ed as a tall to the demo­ cratic kite, his remarks supply all that Is neeasary. Personally we do not know Mr. Britten, but his remarks prove one of two things, viz; tbat be Is either an over zealous temperance ent buslast with one Idea, or else be Is totally lacking in the political cunning of the politicians wbo have aided the prohibition party, advocating temperance,behind which they mask the democratic kite-tail, purposes, for which the prohibition party has been used In the past,and Is being used to-day. He boasts tbat the Prohibition party will cast 500,000 votes ■ this year, a figure which Is doubtless plenty large enough. But be tbat as it may, what will the prohibition party gain by it? Noth­ ing, absolutely nothing. Five hundred thousand votes can’t elect a Prohibition president, and it is not expected that this If tbe prohibition party cast s 500,009^ voter this is what It may do—and what tbe prohibition' politicians hope tbat It may do—It may defeat President McKin­ ley. if It defeats Mr. McKinley, who will it elect? Mr. Bryan of course, the very man tbe schemers and backers of tbe prohibition party want to see elected. By throwing dust in tbe eyes of the real friends of temperance In the republican party, it hopes to draw enough votes front tbe republican party to defeat President McKinley. • What is tbe Issue upon which the pro blbitlon party asks for support? Tbe« “Army Canteen.” Mr. Bryan says that the "paramount Issue” of this campaign Is “Imperialism,” with free silver 16 to 1 and “anti-every thing” on the side, and Mr. Bryan is the very man tbe prohlbk tiou party Is seeking to elect The sole purpose and tbe real purpose of the pro. bibition party In this esmpalgn Is to get temperance republicans to vote tbe prohL bition ticket, and tbe "Army Canteen” like the old “Army Game,” Is being used as a means to win. Suppose tbat a temperance republican should vote tbe prohibition ticket, j ua| figure out, If you can, how the temper­ ance cause will be bene fitted. To be sure he would have the pleasure of *tbinking’ tbat be wu voting against the “Ar­ my Canteen”, but the democrat* woulA have bverything else, Every vote taken from Mr. McKinley helps Mr. Bryan. Suppose tbat 60,000 or 75,000 republi­ cans In Michigan' should vote tbe prohi­ bition ticket It would take tbat many votes from McKinley and doubtless re. suit In Mr. Bryan getting tbe electoral vote of Michigan, which would greatly add to tbe possibility of his election. Would the cause of temperance be aided by any such action? We can’t see txx it would. Tbe democratic party isn’t recognized in political circles as a red hot temperance party. On tbe contrary it has gone ou record time and again m being opposed to all temperance legisla­ tion.

The first named volume as its ti­ tle suggests Is the book of tbe course de­ signed to broaden tbe teachers knowledge. It deals with the history of Europe dur­ ing tbe present century and fills out nicely tbe lack of such material lu tbe average texts In general history. Tbe reputation ot its author and the fact that it was one of the principal books in a re­ cent year of Chautauqua work, is a suf­ ficient guaranty of its merits. Tbe sec­ ond volume of pedagogical work and takes for its snbject one of tbe foremost reformers in tbe educational hhtory of our country. We predict tbat it will be the most papular book In Its line Id recent years. Tbe fact that Its author is one of the leading educators of our own state and an accepted authority up on ail questions pedagogical, will make this work of especial Interest. Third volnme is a gem- It cobs ists of four different animals: a wolfe, part­ ridge, rabbit and fox. Tbe names given by tbe author to the wolf, rabbit and fox give It its queer title Lobo, Rag and Vix­ en, The author bas achieved national fame from bis drawings and descriptions of auiot.ra —turae four stories are from his principal work. It is especially adapt­ ed to reading for morning exercises. Last year’s plan will be adopted for this year’s work in tbe readlbg circles with some additions that suggest them­ selves from experience. Circles will be started lu several places about the county wherever most convenient and meetings members. Tbe matter of credits for doing the work will be explained as the circles are organized, in accordance with the reeommendal! »n of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Tbe reading circle Is a means for general and professional Improvement and it Is hoped that the teachers will give it loyal support.

Across the avenue from this temple is a gateway leading to the Shie-Tsib-Tan, or altar of the gods of land and grain. These were originally Kau Lung, a minister of public works, who flourished 2,509 years before Christ, and Hiatsih, a very remote ancestor of Chau Kung. Here the Emperor sacrifices Id the spring and autumn. He always has to sacrifice somewhere at least once a day. This altar consists of two stories, each five feet high, the upper one being fiftyeight feet square. No other altar of the kind exists in the empire, and it would be the highest kind of treason to build one like it. * The north, east, south and west al­ tars are respectively blafk, green, red and white and the top yellow/ The ceremonies connected with this worship are among the most ancient in China. ’ Pronpect.il 111. — the .... north —............

Before the close or i'the week the United Mine Workers ex­ pect to have most of the operations in ■“ “ •l»na«m. Tbe lead­ I ers say the operators and coal com' ponies underrate the strength of the union. The officials of the Philadcl1 pbia & Reading Coal aiid Iron Co. lu ! this district announced last evening I that when the colliery whistles are ' blown to-day i» per cent of the em­ r p’loves will be at the mines. Tbfe of, fleinls also stated that if enough men ! stayed away from the mine in suf­ ficient uumliers to compel the Henry Clav shaft to shut down, the mules will be hoisted, after which the colliery will lie abandoned. The United Mine 'j01*' ers claim that the Company will not permit the shaft to be flooded. Despite the fact that a considerable sum of money had been disbursed by the Mineral & Union Coal Co. Saturday evening, there has been little if uny in­ toxication amongst tbe yilners and no disorder has been reported from any of the outlying mining hamlets. Every­ thing was quiet at the colleries between Trevorton, this place and Centralia yesterday. No miners were at work and no one was in the mines excepting the pump men aud flre bosses. In this place last night tbe streets were de­ serted save by people on their way to aud from tbe churches. A number of those intending to strike say they will go to the collieries and induce men wanting to work to join the ranks of the neglect into which public edifices soon fall. Another name for it is Mei Sham, or Coal hill, from a tradition that a quantity of poal was placed there as a supply in . case of siege. From it a fine view of the city is ob­ tainable. The western part of this enclosure is occupied by the Si Yuen, or Western Park, which is the most beautiful placet in the city. An artificial lake more than a mile long and a furlong In breadth occupies the centre. Its waters are covered with the beautiful lotus. A marble bridge ot nine arches crosses It, and Its banks are shaded by groves of trees under which are well paved walks.

Tbelr cause was a just one, and by united action they would win.

Pingree received a plurality of about 19,000 in 1898 above tbe combined pluralities of tbe Congressional nominees. It was tbe democratic party that elected M r. Pingree tbe last time, as over 20 per cent ot the republicans of the state spot­ ted blm at tbe polls, and they feel more than justified tor doing It by bls subse­ quent actions, and tbe actions of tbe dis­ reputable military gang with which he surrounded himself. As to where these 19,000 extra democratic votes will go this year, that Ping received two years ago, It won’t make a particle of difference. Even If they all voted tbe democratic ticket It won’t seriously affect the gefigral result Since 1896 the republicans have made gains In the state to amply cover all loss­ es, a fact which will be demonstrated in November.

Practically speaking, they would have not-one thing to gain by Bryan’s election. The least that they would be apt to lose would be that increase in wages, amounting to a near­ ly round $80,000,000. Moreover, they would not like to have the extra pros­ perity work taken away, which would mean with it the “jobs” of some 143,­ 890 of their present number. To get work somehow at any wages, those •143>90 losers of “jobs" would surely demoralize the entire labor market. Railroad employes, also as a claws, are too sensible not to know that the success of sixteen to one would bring worse times by far than the country knew in 1895. bad ns those times were. It is self-evident that with the rail­ roads paying fixed interest on their; bonds in 100-cent gold dollars, and be­ ing compelled to accept a« legal tender for rheir service as carriers, the new 42­ cent dollars, they could not make "both ends meet" without depriving a vast number of theli* employes of the chance of earning wages In even the 42-cent dollars. • 81.00 JF*Kie YE5A.R.

Before Mr. Thomas had been In office three days th*, citizens’ committee waited upon him <nd laid before him the plans of tbe committee by which they hoped to discover the guilty parties and asked his co-operation with the city officials. Eleven days after Mr. Thomas took the office Grace and Thorpe were arrested and thirteen days afterwards the McOmber brothers were arreared. Prior to this time Mr. Colgrove was acting as city attorney and the citi­ zens’ committee bad bad charge of this matter. Mr. Colgrove and Mr. McElwain bad gone to Bellevue and bad secured the evidence warranting the arrest of Grace and Thorpe. Tbe entire matter was talked over with tbe Mayflr of the city and tbe Mayor called the attention ot Mr. Thomas to the fact that Mr. Colgrove bad been looking up the matter tor some time and that the ease was of that Importance that It was the judgment of tbe Mayor that assistance should be had and be said to Mr. Thomas that it was the proper thing for him to liave M r. Colgrove assist In tbe ease, and with other prominent citizens, urged that Mr. Colgrove be retained. We do not think that the course of Mr. Thomas in this matter can be justly criticised. Read tbe following letter from Ex-Mayor Luke Waters, of this city: Hon. W. W. Potter, City. * Dkab Sib: I understand it is being urged against Mr. Thomas that he had Mr. Colgrove as­ Mt.

Fire In the Old Days. It cost the city >5.300. and looks more like a gigantic French mantel dock with the back removed than any­ thing the lay mind can fancy. It was designed to obviate the chance of mis­ takes due to the sending out of alarms over the Mgree key by the operators at headquarters, for once in a while even these trained experts do make a mistake, and where seconds are of incalculable worth in saving lives and property absolute accuracy in these transmissions is essential. Heretofore alarms have been sent out by hand over what are known as the "combination” or district circuits, and then by machine over the "large gong" circuits. With the new appa­ ratus the operator, by a quick manip­ ulation of dials, on which are numbers 1 to 10, sends the alarm to the com­ panies much more rapidly than the old system. The new transmitter has three large black faced dials in a row under a similar larger dial above. Four disks, each a trifle smaller circle than the ether, are imposed on the dials. Back of each disk are white numerals run­ ning from 1 to 10. When the white pa­ per ribbon in front of the big switch­ board on the south aide of tbe operat­ ing room spells out No. 495. say. In Morse dots and dashes, Indicating that fire alarm box No. 495 has been open­ ed, the assistant fire alarm operator in charge goes over to the new machine and turns the top dial on the lower left hand side of the transmitter until the disks read 4-9-5. Then he turns the dial on top of the machine to 1, for a first alarm fire, or 2. or 3, as the case may be. punches a button and the firemen in that "com bl nation” of companies where the scene of the out­ break is simultaneously hear their lo­ cal bells tap out 4-9-5.

J, BRIAN Extract from speech delivered at Knoxville. Tenn.. SepL 10th. 18*0. It was amusing to see W. J. Bryan de’part from tbe plutocratic banquet at Kan­ sas city, and then severely censure “tbe <□11 dinner pail.'* Tbe republican* of Barry county and the fitate of Michigan should be very care­ ful not to be effected by apathy. Less tijgn seven weeks of the canvass remain before election. Tbe true American grit with which the 'City of Galveston, Texas, has faced ita All calamity is worthy ot all praise, 'possible) energy has been u*ed to clear away tbe wreckage and business 1c all linos is resuming. x Durlng the past ten years there has been an Increase of about 14,000,000 in the pop­ ulation in tbe United States. Of this great number only four million is due to immigration. From this Increase there is no need to be alarmed about American 1)1 rtb- rate. ___________________ Carl Seburtz’ remedy for all the obnox­ ious principle* advocated by Bryan 1* to ■elect tbe Orator of tbe Platte and then Tequlre him to carry out the policy of bi* republican predecessor. Brilliant ide*, t»ut wbat is tbe use of changing if it I* deeired to carry out present policies. The democraUc candidate* for governor and lieutenant governor of New York 'ought to bold a oaueua and come to *ome 'understanding. One of them say* the issue is '‘truBts,” and tbe other says it ia imperialism.” Both of them know that the real issue I* “free silver,” and that M probably tbe reason that neither of them mention* It. Tbe cry of 1896 was calamity; tbe oonditioa of 1900 Is prosperity, the New York World recently remarked and tbe Democratic Chronicle, of Rochester in reprinting tbe remark added that it did­ n’t look like a good argument for voting tbe democratic ticket this year. There ' are other* whose memories can reach hack to tbe time* of 1896 who think of eewal things which do not look like ■good arguments for voting the democrat­ ic ticket this fall. Under a democratic administration government bonds were sold to pay tbe times of peace. The bonds carried a big rate of Interest and It was a bard job to aeU them to -any advantage even In Eu­ rope. Under republican control when •be country showed bus that they had both ability and houert inteotton* of tbe Ionia, Mich.,—Sept 19.—Judge Allen B. Morse, United State* consul to Glasgow under tbe Cleveland administration, who has renounced democracy, made a strong ■ppee^ before tbe local republican club. He declared he would do all in bls power for tbe election of McKinley and Roose­ velt. He said: “I cam do this the more easily, as there is no democratic party.

Baker, of Chicago, ex-preeldeet of tbe World’s Fair, and one of the moat prominent democrats of that city, made an open statement last week of bl* purpose to support President McKinley in every way possible, He made a most bitter at­ tack against 16 to 1. and denounced W. J. Bryan as the greatest “imperialist” since Napoleon Bonaparte. His letter reads in part as foltow*: “Tbe Democratic crusade against Ex­ pansion, termed 'Imperialism,’ is an abso­ lute sham, a silly and hypocritical inven­ tion to divert attention from tbelr revolu­ tionary purpose*. Expansion has been tbe policy and practice of tbe American people since the pilgrims landed on Ply­ mouth Ruck, and no man who understand* tbe real spirit of our Institutluns can be frightened by tbe phantom of Imperialism which Bryan has conjured up for this campaign only. * Since Napoleon Bonaparte, there baa been no greater Imperialist than Bryan himself.

Mark Hanna Included, u President McKinley did, before declaring war with Spain. Is not controlled by any man. And had it not been for the blowing up ot tbe Maine It Is generally believed that war with Spain would have been avert? Bat if, aa ed by President McKinley. tbe democrats assert, President McKin­ ley Is under the control of Mark Hanna who has any cause for complaint? If the most prosperous times in the history of our republic are due to Mark Hanna. God grant that there may ever be more Mark Hannas i» our political existence to iaflqence national legislation. If Mark Hanna Is responsible for the legislative actions and tbe attendant prosperity of tbe past four years this country oan well afford to pay him a mighty big salary and petition him to keep bls job. Who is the most prominent man at the head. of the democratic forces to­ day? None other than Richard Croker, otherwise known as "Boss” Croker, of New York. Who is •‘Boss’’ Croker? We presutoe that he too has his good qualities as be certainly has his bad ones.

Simply, through political corruption he has become a multi millionaire, and spends tbe great­ er portion of hjs time in England where be has a large estate. He is also con­ nected with the New York lee Trn»t, which has raised tbe price of lee in New York City 800 per cent, and dictated tbe democratic platform at Kansas City against Trusts. His aim in politics has always been to get “what there Is in it for Croker.” Ha Is an advopate of the gold standard, and in Februrary 1899 expressed himself strongly in favor of holding the Philippines, and hl; d«nunr elation of Trusts is a denunciation of himself, because he is’a member of one of the most despicable Trusts—the lee Trust. His political inconsistency Is plainly apparent and bia connection with, politics is for what “there is In It,” which in bls case is a great deal. He is raising a corruption fund of $8,000,000 from the 40,000 office holders of tbe city of Nev York aud bls henchman In tbe state to elect W. J. Bryan. With these facts the republican party can well afford to go Into tbe campaign on toe issue of Hannaism or Crokerism, It tbe democratic party cares to raise the issue. - OBITUARY.

PACKER'S , OOOnTBA*. r k j Thousands of men. representing ev­ ery degree of skill, are fast bringing into existence the great Pan-American Exposition, which shall next year turn the footsteps of half tbe nation toward Buffalo. Never was an Exposition projected amid such promising aud fa­ vorable surroundings and conditions. With the best known natural wonder of the world—the stupendous and ma­ jestic falls of Niagara—within half an hour’s ride of the Exposition grounds and the greatest electric power plants in the world using the power of these famous cataracts, truly magnets of ir­ resistible force, to help draw the crowds from all directions, Buffalo looks to an unparalleled success in next year’s enterprise. In six important particulars the Pan­ American Exposition will outrival all former undertakings of this descrip­ tion. These are in the electrical ef­ fects, In the hydraulic and fountain effects, to horticultural and floral dec­ orations, In the variety and splendor of nuts. potatMO, onions, etc. In October a special pota­ to display will be made showing the products of many states in comparteoa with one another. Farmers who art> interested in the production of’sugar beets will have an invaluable opportu­ nity to- learn about* the wonderful de­ velopment of this particular vegeta­ ble. ,A special display will be made of sugar beets, showing all varieties and making clear to every one tbe condi­ tions under which they thrive best, in­ cluding both soil and atmosphere.

Not only has the demand been very large for the United States army, but foselgn buy­ ers have frequented the TLmerican martlets and purchased many animals for the armies of other countries.

It to the contention of some that these two systems of taxation cannot op­ erate with success In tbe same state st the same time. They claim that the system should be all one thing or all tbe other. That tbe property of all individuals and corporations should be assessed upon its true cash value just tbe same as the property of tbe farmer, merchant and the manufacturer Is taxed. It was the contention of the Senate and particular­ ly of that part of Senate whlehltbs Governor at­ tacked la bls speech before tbe "Farmers’ Club” that the system of specific taxation wa» emtacDtly just and proper- that It was the only kind tn fact that would secure anything like Justice or equality of taxation; that It was im­ possible to bare equal and Just taxation with­ out the maintenance of tbe two systems; that there was do IntaUlaent demand for tbe orerthrow of tbe system of specific taxation and for these reasoat they refused to destroy It. ■ A few examples illustrate this contention. For tnstance, there are doing business in the State of Michigan many foreign Insuntaoe I companies. These companies have no propI erty, real or personal, subject to taxation in i many of tbe cities In which they do business, notwithstanding they take from tbe stste sevI oral thousands of dollars as premiums. In order to reach these compAnloe and compel them to contribute to tbe support of tbe state which protects tbeir rights and property the l^islature has passed laws which has coir, pelled all foreign ineurance companies to re­ port to the inspector al! policies written and report to the Commissioner of Insurance the entire number and value of the wolkles written in the stole and to pay into me treasury of the state three per cent of the gross premiums of u>0 norctu*, which felrty rejrMmu the pw> evslhga cflhe oon.pw.lM. m > »tafe 1*1.

When any for­ eign country wants money it applies to the United States now, and If satisfactory arrangements are made, It Is always ac­ commodated. Perhaps you remember that in 1896 Mr. Bryan said that If Mc­ Kinley was elected and a gold standard adopted we would have to continue to bor­ row money of England. Tbe gold stand­ ard was adopted but contrary to bis proph­ ecy, England has burrowed millions of us. * Four years ago many men were led to believe, and honestly believed, that pros­ perity could not come to this country without tbe free and unlimited coinage iuumumiimniuiiiUiiiauMuuuuuuuiiiuuiUidiuiikiuuiUiMumiiiiwMiUMiMMiiiiiiiuiuiuiiUMUiuiukui WAIL OF A LOST SOUL In tbe midst of this era of plenty ana unparalleled prosperity; with factories bum­ ming with Industry; with labor fully employed at good wages, we are too apt to forget the past in tbe prosperous presefll. Only four years ago there was a book printed call­ ed “Colo’s Financial School,” founded on theory and peddled out for faeL Tbe intro* ductory page vividly and truthfully portrayed conditions as they existed four years ago but when compared with conditions as they are to-day tbey sound like tbe wail of a lost soul. Following is the first page of Cois’s Financial School: "Hurd times arc school fund amounted to nearly eight millions of dollars. Tbe MBStitudon pro rides that •all specific state taxes except those received, from tbe mlnlDg companies of too upper penin­ sula shall be applied In paying tbe interest of tbe primary school, university or educational funds ana tbe interest and principal of the state debt in tbe order herein recited until tbe extinguishment of tbe state debt ocher than tbe amounts due to tbe educational funds when such specific. taxes shall be added to and constitute a part of the primary school in­ terest fond-” 80 that the specific tax re­ ceived from corporrtions h tbe only constitu­ tional method providing nr the protection of tbe primary school fund. Tbe state debt is now extinguished. The surplus specific tax which is added to aud which constI totes a part of tbe primary school Inlereet fund since tbe state extinguished Its indebtedness is 110.402.- clflc taxtUon would practically place the pri­ mary aeheol fund at the disposal ef tbe legisla­ tures. aud it may be doubted whether; when vre consider the fact that it.was one of the con­ ditions of admission of the state Into the Union, set forth In tbe Ordinance of. admis­ sion and Inserted in tbe constitution uader which tbe state was admitted; tbe state could by any act Jeopardize the primary school fund or di vers tbe moneys belonging to this fund. To do so would violate the terms of the ad­ mission of tbe Btatq into tbe Union and to nay the least would create a debt from tbe state to the general government for the amount real­ ized from this fund. Il was tbe tntentloo of the framers of the constitution to protect tbe pri­ mary school fund from legislative control. When the matter was under consideration In the constitutional convention Mr. Isaac E. Crary, tbe intimate friend of. John D. Pierce founder of the school system ot Michigan, ana who more than aajooe else except Pierce shaped, the policy of tbe state upon the sub­ ject of education as expressed in tbe constitu­ tion said: “I have been in favor of placing the avulla of these specific taxes above legislative control. Now Is the time to set them apart and in a way that will benefit every individual in this state. Let them be appropriated to pay tbe interest due to educational funds and to pay other interest of education. When this Im paid let them constitute a part of the educa tional interest fund; do this In the constitution and local in tereats wfil not hereafter prevail over the public good.'* Not only was the object of tbe founders of the constitution to protect the primary school fund by the tax reattsed from the corpora­ tion but tbe system of specific taxes is more flexible than the ad valorem system, ft en­ abled tbe slate by maintaining a low rate of taxation upon railroad property and in some cases exempting It altogether from taxation to encourage these corporations to construct roads in the then inaccessible parts of this state and thus develop ita resources. tW U»tuntil.*'J™"up X th“ www«« value *} w® U3enot "Mato runnyvttoseseasea report- icady ’b wot>Lt •*better '•ijx io tax,,, t,,tbnt H , *“ rannmm ewdatlors 5 w, . ays .tart <>ui «£» Mine.,:.

That may be true but the fact is lost sight of la this argument that whenever there is a good year and the earn­ ings of the railroads are more than tbe aver­ age they pay far more than average taxes. Another fact that must not be kMt s'ght of In the consideration of this question is tbe fact that there is hot a state la tbs Union where the system of ad valorem taxation of corporate property is in operation where the system is a pronounced success. On the contrary the commissioners appointed to in­ vestigate tbe subject of taxation In every state In the Union have condemned this sys­ tem as tbe most inequitable and unjust of all the systems of taxation that are known to modern civilization. Moreover there Is not a single political economist, either tn this country or tbe old world, who baa ever attempted to delend, much less advocate tbe taxation of rrfilroad property upon an advaloem basis. Fifteen of the meet populous aud progressive states of tbe union who at one time or another have had the advalorem sys­ tem of taxation ot railroad property in force have abandoned that system and amonr all the systems Ip the United Slates that of Michigan comoaree favorably with that of any otter state.

I “Mr. Bryan yesterday attempted to arI swer what I said about bls attacks on t . United States army,” said Governor Roose­ velt In opening. * ‘He says that the Presi­ i dent In bis message of December, 1898, asked for an army of 100.000 men two months before there was any war in tbe Philippine Island?. He asks. Does Mr. Roosevelt know this?’ Of course I know It, and let me also add tbat Mr. Bryan ought to know, wnat every well-instructed schoolboy known, that at that very time lu December thfc Philippine Insurgent army was threatening our outposts, and a collision was Imminent any moment. Aguinaldo at tbat time was trying to or­ ganize the remnants of tbe Spanish army in conjunction with bls own army lu a war against us. Voted (or by Democrat*.

Do you know any man rood enough to stand at tbe bead of a monopoly and determine tbe price of that wblcb others are to .use? •A. Mr. Bryan’s terminology Is here so loose that it Is difficult to know what be means. If he uses ’trusts’ In the sense of large cofporattons, and tbe difference between them cam be told as readily as tbe difference between two wealthy private In­ dividuals. As for monopolies In private banii. patents are such monopolies, and If Mr. Bryan means tbat all monopolies are bad, he tye^is qjat patent laws should be aboMshed (Mtright. Does be really mean this? If pot, bls words mean nothing. Tbe unfontyted evils connected with some partial Industrial moaopolles will never be affected In the least by an opposition until In dealing with them their opponents learn and practice both precision of thought and precision of statement. “6—Q. Do you know of any good rea­ son why the army should be made 100,000? “A. Here again Mr. Bryan’s language Is' loose. If be Is speaking of the present army of 1(5,000 regular! and 35.000 volun­ teers. then every man who possesses an ounce of common sense or an ounce of pa­ triotism must know that there is very good reason for having had it, but no possible excuse for refusing to have IL It bas been needed in tbe Philippines; It bas been needed in Cniua, and only tbe allies of Aguinaldo and tbe Boxers can criticise it. Half of tbe democrats In congress voted for it when it was provided for. “7—Q. Would you be willing to make tbe army 200.000 If the republican leaders said so, or 500,000 If they wanted it? “A. It is hard to believe that this ques­ tion Is put in good faith, for no one bas dreamed of asking tor an army of 200,000 or 300,000. Abraham Lincoln once had to ask for a large army, and In spite of the opposltlou of tbe politicians whose politi­ cal heir and assignee Mr. Bryan is, the people gave him wbat he asked. No In­ crease of tbe army will ever be asked for by republicans, save because of reasons which would satisfy the people as they were satisfied In the days of Lincoln. • S—Q.‘ What is your title to tbe Flllpl------- you get no-?

During the eighteen year, of Its exlatesce. the board nix dealt with no fewer that ebl) The demonstrations in every city and hamlet in this country on Labor dsy, when the industrial populations poured through the streets in march­ ing order, were certainly gratifying, whether regarded merely as a pictur­ esque display of the forces of so­ ciety or u t token of the united spirit which guides the destiny of the aunoteenJh century workman. Rank a^ter rank the marchers in labor’s gjreal annual parade presented the pjpat convincing evidence of the indus­ trial prosperity that prevails throughpet the United States. In its personal appearance, as well as in numbers, the testimony admitted of no question. For hours an army of well-fed, welldressed, cheerful workingmen filed through the streets of all large cities, and in email hamlets the parades were noae the less marked. This year’s Labor day parade was essentially a demonstration of tbe emp*oyed fairly aglow withthe signsof satisfaction over plenty of labor at more remunerative wages than labor has known in’ six years. This year's demonstration was the largest, the best-dressed, the bestfed and the best paid procession of workingmen this country has ever Been. There was expansion in its step, its smile and its waist measure. Scarcely four years ago, under the last Democratic administration, there was a great agitation for free soup houses, where the workingmen who were out of w’ork, under President Cleveland’s administration, could get free soup to keep them from starv­ ing. Those same workingmen, under only a couple of years of William Mc­ Kinley’s administration, are now eat­ ing sirloin steaks, and the grounds where the thousands of soup houses stood four years ago, are now covered with factories, employing thousands of men at good wsgen. Yet the dem­ ocratic party leaders, from Mr. Bry­ an dow;u, are trying to have the work­ ingmen to vote to go back to the soup house condition again. The American workingman will not vote himself out of a good steady job at good wages for all the soup houses that tbe last Democratic administration produced. They are all voters. Every man who holds in his hand an implement of la­ bor also holds a ballot. For the first time in the history of the labor move­ ment in this country and under a re­ publican administration, the general prosperity of the country includes the prosperity of labor. The steadily in­ creasing prosperity in the business world was distinctly reflected in the neat and satisfied appearance of the different organizations. The men and women marched like people wbo are self-confident and self-assertive—who know that they are a mighty force in the work of widening and strengthen­ ing the nation’s fields of Industry. They marched like men who dignified labor by stamping it with their own manliness. Of all our annual exhibitions none Is more impressive than that of Labor day. It is a grand demonstration of wealth-producing forces, and of the opportunities which come to men in this free country under a republican form of government aud administra­ tion. Tbe thousands of workers who make up these annual parades are in truth, ns is often bald, tbe brawn and sfnew of the nation, but they also rep­ resent a progressive intelligence such as it would be impossible to discover in the same citizenship of other lands. From their ranks will spring many of the men of affairs and. influential pub­ lic men of the future. Questions of politics should not be mixed with the principles which are at the root of all labor organizations. Labor is organized for purely eco­ nomic purposes. But this year tbs issue at stake Is one which vitally af­ fects the economic welfare of the whole people, and St is only natural that the workingmen should regard it as worthy of their best study, both a* individuals and as members of trade organizations. They will not let democratic calamity howlers fool them, aa they have not yet forgotten the last “democratic times" of only a few years ago. We hear of their philanthropy and immense donations to the poor, but when they give a dollar they take two dollars off the workers’ wages. A majority of the people of thia eountry don’t want to ruin the indus­ tries of the country nor do they want an aristocracy of class. They want a government by and for the peo­ ple, such as we have had for the past four years, and will have for the next four, labor voting^selfishly, perhaps —for its own prosperity. When the workingman is prosper­ ous, the whole nation is prosperous. Mr. Bryan "views with alarm" the fact that Americans are lending money to Great Britain, Germany and Sweden. He thinks the lenders are unpatriotic. Americans are glad to have money to bind. Under a demo­ cratic administration tbey had to bor­ row $262,000,000 abroad, and that in Sold. Mr. Bryan’s election would mean a return to that undesirable-po­ sition.

The southwestern roads had gross earnings of 16,584.265 in August, 1895, and the same roads showed gross earnings of $9,858,405. Yet the av­ erage rate of freight was less per ton mile (the cost of carrying one ton of freight obe mile) and passenger rates were leas. The increased busi­ ness of these roads clearly demon­ strates the difference between gen­ eral activity of business under the re­ publican doctrine of protection, and democratic depression. ■ Woman's Hfl/stake It l. a well-known fact tli.t t j­ R Pinkhem', VegeUMe, cI L,dla h“5red more wom<*n than a'“mth“d It therefor, mil J, ^LP^bl” n"dkin' femrionL’ some women malo. . «tBut thinking thet Umytil\' r thing elee, simply Leceu-i It 1.^?

One from Kansas whose attention was called to the big wheat crop raised this year, responded with a doleful whine: 'Yes, it is a big crop, but these here big crops lis mighty hard on the land.’" Dlvideads »«d Prosperity. The Daily Stockholder of New York has published a statement which shows that dividends to the amount of $57,­ 000,000 were paid by different railway and manufacturing concerns. On Oc­ tober 1, 1896, the same combines paid $35,000,000. The difference In tbe earninga means that more men were em­ ployed, more wages paid and that the farmers had more supplies to furnish to the army of wage-earners. It is a case of prosperity all around. The coinage of the mints in tha year ended June 30. 1900, was: Gold coin ............................................ «07.SS7.11( Sliver dollars ....

H* to -p" ' wage-earners and to the farmers who supply them with food and the mate­ rials for clothing as follows: “We wish to state that after the passage of the Wilson tariff bill, un­ der the democratic administration, we were compelled to reduce the wages of our skilled workmen, reducing their wages twice, making a reduction to them of nine and 15 per cent., accord­ ing to the class of work they per­ formed. it was very for « ua to U w« eery hard Bmwe keep our work. In operation, .nd we! were only enabled to do ao by such j reduction and by working very hard to dispose of our product. On ma­ terials that we purchased prices de­ clined to the lowest we had ever heard of, declining in some Instances 25 and 30 per cent. “Since the McKinley administration we have been enabled to increase our product by doubling the capacity of our plant. We have advanced the wages of our skilled workmen twice, paying them now the highest wages ever paid them, with exception of on one elan of work—paying them five per cent less than the highest wages paid them. Our sales last season were 50 per cent.* greater than any previous year. The price of materials that enter into the manufacture of our product, includ­ ing fuel, has advanced 10- to 40 per cent. The price of our product, owing to new methods of manufacturing, notwithstanding the increased cost of production, has advanced only from five to ten per cent, to the consumer. “We commenced business in 1S91, and, of course, each year would show an enlarged business for the first few; years. You will notice that since the McKinley administration got into good working order and the Dingley tariff bill was passed there has been a large increase each year in both skilled and unskilled labor. During the year end­ ed September 1, 1900. we paid out in wages, not including office salaries, a total amount of J160.507.50. against J72.249.O7 for the year ended Septem­ ber 1, 1895, which was a fair average of our Business under the democratic administration.** Mr. Obear’s statement is typical ot the glass business all over the coun­ try. It is conditions like these which have induced the president of the uo • c II.UMVCW 1*1 voauxru ‘ irat Green Glass association, a workingman and democrat, to declare openly for the : reelection of Mr. McKinley. I The purchasing power of the glass workers is fully 60 per cent, greater * than In the democratic days of 1994 and 1895. The direct result is not only that these workers are raving money, but that they are buying more from the ^cultural claue, then eeer beton In tbe history of the country. .

Four years ago Mr. McKinley promised to re-enact a protective tariff aud advo­ cated sound money. As a result of tbe two he prophesied tbe return of prosperity. He has kept every promise be bas made and every prophecy that be bas uttered" has become a part of history. On tbe contrary every single prophecy that Mr. Bryan made, without exception, has failed.

As Mr. Bryan’s assessment has Increased about two thous­ and per cent in the last few years it is Very evident that be Is not on the stump tor his health. One of tbe amusing features of Bryan’s acceptance of tbe nomination for vice­ president by tbe Silver Lincoln repnbll<3ans Is tbe fact that In his letter of accept­ ance he never once referred to the silver question.

Now is just the time of year to “ look after your fences.” Put them in good shape and build them so that they will stay built. The American Wire Fence has points superior to any other fence made. By means of the TENSION CURVES the fence does not sag or drop down, but remains taut. To every roil of the regular 6-inch stay fence there are 396 of these tension curves, which keep it in place in all kinds of varying temperatures. It is not only the most beautiful fence made, but it is the most durable, being out of steel wire made especially for the manufacturers. If you want to do any fencing don’t fail to give us a fall.

I Graduating from the Niles High School ■ In 1870, tbe death ot his father compelled film to return to the farm where he re­ mained several years, devoting every idle hour to study. Later be went to Niles and studied law in the office of Judge H. H. Coolidge and was admitted to the bar In 1884. Having at the out­ set tbe perfect confidence of al! who knew him; gifted with a splendid constitu­ tion, a pleasing voice, and an analytical mind that enables him to "gel down to tbe bottom of things,” bis record at the bar was one of splendid achievements and he won many legal victories. Always a staunch republican, and believing that it was tbe dpty of every man to take an interest In politics, bls services during campaigns were eagerly sought.

Manila, Oct. 29.—While scouting near Looc a detachment of the Twen­ tieth and Twenty-eighth regiments un­ der Capt. Belgler, .were attacked by 400 insurgents armed with rifles, un­ der the command of white map, whose nationality is not known to the Amer­ icans. The insurgents for the mbst part were Intrenched. After an heroic fight Capt Belgler drove off the enemy, killing more than 75. The fight lasted for two hours. Capt Belgler and three, privates were slightly wounded and two of the Amer­ icans were killed. An engagement took place Oct 24 between detachments of tbe Third cavalry and the Thirty-third volunteer infantry, numbering 60, and a force ot Insurgents including 400 riflemen and 1,000 bolomen. The fighting was des­ perate. Finally, under pressure of overwhelming numbers, the Americans were compelled to retire on Narvlcan. Lieut. Geo. L. Feblger, and four pri­ vates were killed, nine were wounded and four are missing. Twenty-nine horses are missing. A number of team­ sters were captured by the Insurgents but were subsequently released. The enemy's loss it estimated at 150. A civilian launch towing a barge loaded with merchandise near Arayat was attacked by a force of 150 insurg­ ents under David Fagin, a deserter from the Twenty-fourth infantry. The American troops, on hearing the firing turned out in force before the boat could be looted, and recaptured IL Fagin, who holds the rank of gen­ eral among the insurgents, has sworn special enmity toward his former company. Of the 20 men he captured a month ago seven have returned. One was killed in a fight, his body being horribly mutilated. Fagin sends mes­ sages to bis former companions threat­ ening them with violence if they be­ come his prisoners. It was Fagin's men who captured Ueut Frederick W. Alstaetter, who is still a prisoner. Gen. Halle's expedition with a force of nearly 800 men. through the moun­ tains to BiSangonan, province of In­ fanta, In pursuit of the insurgent Genl Callies, although it discovered no trace of the enemy, encountered great hard­ ships on the march. Twenty Chlndbq porters died, and 40 men were sent Into hospital. After stationing a garri­ son of 250 men in Binangonan and vis­ iting Pollllo Island, off the coast of In­ fanta province, General Halle and the rest of his force embarked on the transport Garronse. Reports from General Young’s dis­ trict show a dally increase of insurg­ ents there owing to the fact that re­ cruits are going thither from the towns. While a detail of the Thirty-third volunteer infantry was returning from Bangued on rafts it was fired upon by insurgents, Sergeant Berdstaller being killed and two privates wounded. The Philippine commission has de­ cided to compile the revised Philip­ pines customs tariff from its own in­ vestigations assisted by the represent­ atives of the army board. The result will be forwarded to tbe United States for publication and discussion among those interested in foreign commerce. When the details appear to be satisfac­ tory and the draft has been approved by the secretary of war the commis­ sion will promulgate it here as a law. The measure has taken on a new and international commerce Interest and the course of the commission is heart­ ily commended here.

Oct. 26.—The secretary of the treasury, acting on the opinion of the solicitor of the treasury, has held that the wife of a Chinese native born citizen of the United States is entitled to admission into the United States regardless of the provision* of Section 1994 revised statutes. Buch right to land does not depend on the status of her husband as a merchant, even if it is held that the exclusion laws apply to a Chinese merchant who is native born, but rather on her high­ er right not to be separated from her husband, who is legally entitled to “ live in the country of his birth.

It is Just as foolish to swap borees while crossing prosperity’s stream as It 1b while crossing any other stream. “Tbe Democratic party stands where It did In 1896 on the money question”— William Jennings Bryan, Zanesville, Ohio, Sept. 4. 1900.___________ Vote for the republican congressman and the state legislative candidates so as to sustain tbe president in bls policies for a good government. If the democrats could only introduce the methods adopted in Carolina through­ out the Union they woald win out, but It would .be hard on the republic. “It ought not to be difficult to convince tho wage earner that It there were benefits arising from a degenerated currency they would reach him least and last—Grover Cleveland.

Tbe meanest yarn yet Is tbe report circulated freely tbet the republican proprietors of tbe Hastings Wool Bdot Co. were trying to force their democratic employees to vote for McKin­ ley. . Hearing of these reports the democratic employees of tbe Wool Boot Co. desired to correct them. Accordingly the following paper was prepared for their purpose aud freely circulated by Mr. Lee Gebhardt, than whom there is not a more staunch democrat tn the county. Following is the paper: To tho People of Barry County: It Is reported about tbe county tbat tbe owners ot tbe Hastings Wool Bool Com­ pany, who are all republicans, demanded four years ago and have again this year, tbat all tbelr democratic employees must vole for McKinley or be discharged. We think it Justice to all concerned that we who are democrats now and alwayy have been should state tbe facts. No mem­ ber of tbe Hastings Wool Boot Co.. none of Its officers, nor Its superintendent, nor foremen, nor anyone directly or indirectly for them, has ever said or Intimated to us that we must vote for McKinley or lose o\ir jobs. On tbe contrary we are and al­ ways have been free to vote any ticket or for any candidate we please, and know tbat our jobewould not be Interfered with. We therefore brand as wickedly false any statement tbat our rights as American citizens are or ever have been Interfered with by tbe Hastings Wool Boot Co., or any of its members or officers or its super­ intendent or foremen.

Mrs. William Potter will have an auc­ tion sale at ber home one-half mile east of Yankee Springs, Saturday, Nov. 10th. commencing at ene o’clock p. m. To avoid mistakes and the possibility of losing tbelr votes, the republicans should mark a cross lu the little circle at tbe bead of tho republican ticket. Do this the first thing and make yonr ballot count Sunday Dr. Gammon gave a splendid talk before tbe Methodist Sunday School un the question of ’‘temperance.” which was greatly appreciated by all who beard It, for the sensible views tbe Dr. took. A young lad by tbe name of Wurm, liv­ ing In Hope township, was shot through lhe hand Sunday, by the accidental dis­ charge of a gun. He was brought to this dty and Dr. Howell dressed the wound and be Is getting along nicely. “It’s a’ boy, and it weighs about ten pound.®’ was the way Dwight Hinkley sainted hh friends, Monday morning as he came stepping proudly down the street Mother and child are dulng nicely, and tbe happy parents are receiving tbe congrat­ ulations of friends. A lot of young miscreants went about tbe city last evening, destroying prop­ erly. strewing garbage around on 'front porches, and raising “Old Ned” gener­ ally. Such deviltry ought to be stopped and those who persist in It should be made an example of. The report Is being circulated tba: the members of tbe Wool Boot Com pan,1 are working to defeat William Mitchell. Tbe report Is as false as all of tbe other, re­ ports being circulated to Idjare Mr. MUebeli. Instead of working against him, tbe members of the Wool Boot Company ure doing everything In their power to elect him. Tbe democrats tn this city, and we un­ derstand about the-county, are making a desperate effort to defeat William Mitchell for sheriff, offering to •‘trade” votes In or­ der to accomplish their ends. Such work Ah tbla Is contemptible, and all republicans wbo are approached in this manner should treat such an offer with the contempt It .deserves. A delightful Hollow’een party occurred at tbe home of Miss Maud Kelley on south Jefferson street last evening. About 15 young lady friends came, and were roMowed later by the same number of young men dressed In women’s appar­ el. Light refreshments were served and a general good time enjoyed. Tbe occasion was enlivened by a serenade from tbe mandolin club. Prtn. W. N. ‘Ferris of Big Rapids, will give an address al tbe M. E. church Friday evening, Nov. 9, under tbe aus­ pices of the Barry County Teachers' Association. Subject, “Education, the Old and the New.” Mr. Ferris bas lec­ tured several times before the people ot Hastings and Barry County and every­ one who baa bad tbe, pleasure of listen­ ing to him will welcome this new op­ portunity. Admission 10 cents, Samuel Haight who lives on the old ‘Par­ ish farm” in Yankee. Springs, known also as tbe “big orchard” farm, went out to the barn last evening to bitch up bls horse. He bung op tbe lantern on a nail above which some chickens and turkeys were nostlng. One of the turkeys got to fighting a chick­ en which flew against the lantern, knock­ ed it down and set tbe building on fire, re­ ducing It to ashes. The lore will probab­ ly reach from S700 to S1000. with Inaan■ooe of only about S150. Tbe loas fal I heavily on Mr. Haight, who is a poor, bard working man, and can not afford to sustain such a loas. A. Black A Son wish to announce tbat they still have on hand a large assortment of small and medium sized monument* and markers, which they will make a great reduction on. if sold within tbe next two weeks. Since their notice of removal to Grand Rapids two weeks ago they have closed out nearly all tbe heavy monuments they bad, so any one wishing the above class ot work will do well to take advan­ tage of tbe prices they are making. This la no advertising scheme, for they certain­ ly will move to Grand Rapids within tbe next three weeaa, and are making there prices rather than go tbe expense of box­ ing and shipping wbat stock they have there. Don’t pay any attention to atories which may be circulated at tbe eleventh hour concerning any candidate, on an) ticket reflecting upon bls personal hon­ or or character. Anything of this kind will be circulated for nothing else than to win votes for tba opposite party at a tine when there is no chance to reply. Anything that may be circulated at that time will be nothing that could not have been told before, when a candidate could have bad saltable opportunity to reply. We understand tbat one or two candi­ dates are to be attacked this week when there will be no chance to make any defenae. and we warn all readers of tbe Bajtnkb to pay no attention to them, The republican demonstration In this city Thursday evening of last week wm a brilliant sucoess tn every way. The only thing tUt was lacking wm suitable accom­ odations (or tbe hundreds of people whe desired to hear lhe speakers and could not gain admittance. Tbe republicans of this city feel under great obligations to the Irv­ Ing Republican Club who attended the meeting In ■ body, there being upwards oj furty vehicles In the Freeport procession every one of which carried some banner or portrait suitably Inscribed, tbe work of A?

Uodar ibe eapllon ot "A Voter,1- tbe Herald of to-day contains tn article which looks m if it were “Inspired” charging that Prosecutor Thomas promised tbe McOmbera “tbat they should not be prosecut­ ed further, that Allen should go fbke for stealing* tbe thousands of dollars worth of goods.” The statement Is false. Mr. Thomas never made any such promise and stands pledged tedsy to pros­ ecute tbe second charge against A. R. MoOtnber, when bls parole expires. Those wbo think justice has not been carried out should vote for Mr. Thomas and not be mislead by the Herald's statrsnt-D', which ought in Justice to have been published al a time when suitable reply could have been made.__________________ CAR.D OF THASk j. 7• <Je’1fe 10 ■‘oeerely thank oar •Dd neighbors. and especially tl„. friends eeu of the Wool Boe: Co. for tr •eta of kindness shown us In ou-,np many outiate bereavrment.

In an article which was supposed io be published too late for an appropriate re­ ply, the Herald thin evening made an at­ tack upon Supervisor Sherk, of morn­ apple, for bls assessments. Tho article la designed wholly for political ect and It is impossible for us to reply tutiner than to state that his record stands for Itself. Mr. Sherk’s roll was signed by every member of tbe Board of Review, or Thorn­ apple township, save one. Among those wbo signed Mr. Shark's roll was Mr. John Campbell, <i democrat, and we are In­ formed tbat one of the others was also a democrat. There was a contention be­ tween lhe village and township, and the members from tbe township became in­ censed that tbe village property wasn’t assessed higher, and the vlilUe claimed tbat Its property shouldn’t be sssessed higher unless ihu township property was similarly treated. Finally, a'l membets, save one, signed the report. leaving Mr. ttoerk’s assessment roll Just as he assessed it. M r. Sherk rals ed the assessment on personal property from • 127,000 to S240.000—an Increase of almost 100 per cent., and almost 830.000 more than any other supervisor in tbe county. Tbe Herald article is a rank in­ justice to Mr. Sherk In that be is given no opportunity to defend himself. It was Those unable to call can address. written for a campaign dodge aud circulat­ ed at tbe last moment. The Herald has Dr. Donald McDonald. had plenty of time to examine Mr. Sherk’s THE SPECIALIST, record and give him ample time to reply.

At |5 tbe Lady­ smith sold readily and was well liked by women of exceptional taste. Unfor­ tunately. such Ideas cannot be copy­ righted. So soon in the summer the Ladysmith has become so common that, as a Newport girl put it the oth­ er day. ’You are really quite dlatlngulahed In a sailor.” The Ladysmith outing hat. with a scarf of printed ma­ terial. is seen this week where bar­ gains thrive for 49 cents. The pulley belt, an American inven­ tion. with two rings through which a ribbon may be drawq and the waist held snugly, has just now appeared, in England, where it is welcomed as a boon. Pulley rings In gilt. gold, nic­ kel, sliver, jet und other substances arc sold reasonably by the couple on a card. The inventors of the simple and excellent device do not profit by the snle of these rings on the cird. though it is understood that they reaped and still reap rich harvests from their made-up belts.

Buffalo, Nov. 5.—Prof. Jacob Gould Schurmann, who passed through this city Bunday afternoon en route from tbe west to Ithaca, handed to The As­ sociated Press the following reply to an open letter addressed to him by Mr. Slxto Lopez: "Mr. Slxto Lopez's open letter of the third instant addressed tc me although I have not yet seen it except in the newspapers, is a gratifying proof ot the correctness of the report of |h'e Philippine commission.

Kent', lite wua nved wtU> pennuganate ot potub, admin Inhered hypo­ dermically. . Capital is about to reopen the Clif­ ton iron mine® in Northern New York, and to destroy the famous wooden rail­ rood which need to bring out the ore. There’s hardly anything a Yankee with an Irish name cannot invesit. When the Clifton mine project waa be­ ing discussed, the investor* objected to the cost of building twenty-eight miles of spur railroad through a eery rough country to bring out the ore. ’’Steel rails cost money," said the chairman. "Sure, an’ why not make wooden rails them?" aald Jim Sheridan, the "King of Clifton," "they’s wood enough up thim hills to break a man's heart.’* “Can you build a wooden railroad.,flt to run a little dummy engine on and'a train of tip-cara?” "1 can that!" And Sheridan did. The rails were apruce poles, squared In the little "oneman** saw mil! of the place, while log ties, half buried In the earth and staked down at either end were notched to receive them, into these notches the rails were wedged firmly by two oaken keys sawad out Id the saw mill. These keys had a way of shrinking during a dry spell, and working loose, when It became the duty of the engi­ neer to keep a sharp watch for them and of the brakemen to dismount upon hearing three short whistles and a long one, and with a supply of keys from a keg which wm carried on the conduc­ tor’s flat car at tbe rear to maul the rail tight again with a wooden beetle. The engine,used to run off the track into the bushes, when it was the pleas­ ant duty of the trainmen to get off and pry It back Into place again. Just aa the railroad wm becoming famous the Iron works burned up. The railroad didn’t burn. It’s there yet. much of it, rotted into the ground, but it will have to come up to make way for a steel • successor not half so interesting By an old hunter and naturalist of local repute a story has been told here confirming as absolutely true and trust­ worthy the published account, which has had few believers until now, of how foxes rid themselves of fleas.. The fox. according to the book narrative, sim­ ply backs, slowly into a stream ot water with a portion of the pelt of a rabbit In his mouth after the fox has made a meal ot the rabbit. The water drives the fleas first up the fox’s legs and then toward his head, and finally out on tbe piece of rabbit fur, and then the fox drops thejur and his peats are done for. The local hunter and naturalist re­ ferrod to, strange to say. bad nevsr heard or read thia story when he told ot the actions of a fox whlfh he ohserved tbe other day In the waters of the Patapaco River. The little animal, he stated. backed into the river slowly with so much deliberation that he wondared what K meant. It carried some­ thing he 4M not know what In Its mouth aod dropped tbe something when out In daw water. Then the fox hurrtad away The object.left floated new to tbe observer and he hauled It ashore with a stick. Fleas iiterelly swarmed through the object, which CX1 to be a bit of raw rabbit fur The observer had a puaxllnj mystery explained to him.

The following stories of Mr. Kroger says the J^ondon News, appear in Mr. Hobson’s book about the Transvaal war, published by Nisbet 4 Co,: "A few days ago he was Induced to take part in the opening ceremony at a Jewish synagogue. On entering and taking his place he removed his hat, ind paid no heed whatever to the sug­ gestion of his secretary, who explained ±e Jewish custom of covering the bead. When the time came for the President’s address, be ejaculated a !tw brief sentences and amazed his iongregation by concluding thus: **1 declare this synagogue open in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." On mother occasion, shortly after he had present*, on behalf of the State, a ?lece of land (an erf) for the building jf a Dutch Reform Church, he was ap­ proached by an influential Jew. who tendered a similar request on behalf of the Jewish congregation. The Pres­ ident promised to consider the request md soon afterward announced that he nad granted it. Shortly after, howevar, he was waited on by his Jewish friend, who complained that the piece of . land they had received was only half the size of ths* given , for the Dutch Reform church. ’Well,’ retort­ ed Kruger, ’what fault have you got to find? They believe the whole Bible, 30 they get an erf; you only believe half the Bible, and you get half an erf.’ * An American editor, says Public Opinion, is making a collection of •literary blunders," which he hopes to publish between covers some day. Here is one, taken from Mr. Clodd’s memories ot Grant Allen, which he may consider worthy of record. It consists af a letter written to Mr. Allen by in unknown admirer. "Pardon the dberty I am taking. In your clever itory of ’The Great Ruby Robbery,’ rou mention Browning being splendid tor the nerves. It there such a thing? Would you give me the address to ob­ tain it? I am a dreadful sufferer of nervousness; under such circum­ stances you will accept my apology tor troubling.’’ A schoolmaster recently gave his pu­ pils a lecture on patriotism, says the Scottish-American. He pointed out the high motives which moved the volunteers to leave their homes and fight for their country. The school­ master noticed that one boy did not pay attention to the instruction, and ir g test question be asked him— ‘What motives took the volunteers to the war?" The boy was puzzled for a moment, then remembering the public •send off” te the local reserves and volunteers at the railway station, be replied," Locomotives, sir.” The humorist who declared himself grateful for three ways of diss emi Bat­ ing information—the telegram, tele­ phone and tell a woman—was prob­ ably ignorant of the case of Mrs. Grad­ stone, says the Youth’s Companion. Just after her marriage Mr. Gladstone put to her the question, "Shall I tell rou nothing and you can say anything, or shall I tell you everything and you say nothing?” She chose to know and to be silent, and during almost sixty years of beautiful married lite kept her part of the contract. Dr. Temple tells a good story against himself, says an exchange. He entered during a popular service in an East End church one night, and, standing in a back pew, joined in the singing of a Moody and Sankey hymn. Nexts to him stood a workingman, who was singing lustily in tune. The workingman stood the dissonance as long as he could, and then, nudging the bishop, said, in a whisper—"Here, dry up, mister; you’re spoiling the ■how* Fitkins for wn Object. Chester MtWr.

The good people of South Dakota re­ gard Wind Cave as the tenth wonder of tbe world. From surface indieitlons it, would seem that a large part of the state is hollow, and the exteut of Wind Cave is unknown. It was discovered in 1877 by a notorious character known as "Lame Johnny," who distinguished himself on several occasions by holding up the Deadwood stage and ambushing caravans of unwary travellers. Hte lack of prudence In one of these adven­ tures resulted in a "necklie party.” which ended Johnny's career, ee that he was not able to profit by his discovery. J. B. McDonald rediscovered tbe phe­ nomenon in 1884 by finding a large gap in the plain through which the wind was pouring out with great force, like the draught of a chimney. There are similar vent holes at frequent intervals over the prairie, and the people of this neighborhood claim that several have been opened within the last few years. The cave is divided into chambers. It is aserted that more than 3,000 dif­ ferent rooms have already been discov­ ered, varying in size from twelve feet in diameter to over three acres, and this is believed to be only a small por­ tion off the cavern. Tbe cave ceiling is not so high as that of Mammoth Cave, and the geologic formations are not as wonderful as those of Luray, but it has many attractions, and one in particular —the dryness of the atmosphere— which iz said to afford instant and complete relief to asthmatic people. The temperature of the cave is about 45 degrees the year round, being unaf­ fected by the variations of the ther­ mometer outside, but the variations of the barometer are sharply perceptible. When the mercury rises on the out­ side a current of air flows into the cave and follows < certain direction. When the glass falls, this current changes and the air flows in another direction. This phenomenon has not been studied by competent meteorologlzts. but is so apparent that It attracted the attention of tbe early explorers of the canon. Tbe effect of the air of fhe cave up;, on asthmatic people is equally peculiar A sufferer from that disease finds Im­ mediate relief upon entering the cave, and there will be no return of the trouble for several days after. This has suggested the possibility of a per­ manent cure for such as cun have the privilege of visiting the cave frequent­ ly. and u hotel is planned for their ac­ commodation.—F>om the Chicago Rec­ ord.

ILDEW, iron rust and gr—s S •Pot® are perslitent worn®® in aummer time to the careful mother. Rub mildewed spot® well with lemon juice and salt and expose to a hot sun. The most delicate fabric will be unharmed. The spots win dlaappear. For removing grease spots take equal parts of strong ammonia, water, ether and alcohol. To prevent the ring forming about the cleaned spot rub with a cloth slightly dampened with the aame aolutlon. In other word®, rub out the ring. If the doth Is too wet it will only make another one. Ink spots should be attended to be­ fore they dry to save the gsjment. Sponge with milk until all the ink la removed, and then sponge with benzine to take out the grease left by the milk. Ink spots can be removed from goods of which the color will not run by applying salts of lemon. When varnlah gets on any garment the cleansing should be done as soon as possible. Wet the varnish thor­ oughly with alcohol two or three times and then sponge off with a clean doth. If the color has been affected the ma­ terial should be sponged with chloro­ form, unless the color is blue. Then vinegar or acetic add should be used instead of chloroform. Both of these are hard on the bands and should be used with caution. Muddy spots on white dresses may be removed by washing in a solution of carbopate of soda in water. Lay the soiled part on a cloth and sponge well. One often notices on new linen yel­ low stains left by the sewing ma­ chine. Such garments should not be put Into the wash until tbe spots have been well rubbed with liquid ammo­ nia. Repeated applications of fresh lard or butter will come as near as anything to removing tar, though a spot is almost always left. Fine linen is continually in danger of Iron-rust, and unless such spots are attended to at once there Is little hope of removing them. Soak tbe spot well, as If for general washing, pass a hot iron over a wet doth, and when the latter steams well put it un­ der the stained garment. Then on the upper side of the goods rub a little oxalic add where the spots show. The action of the acid is hastened by the heat and the moisture. The rust dis­ appears. Then the whole garment should be washed with soap. Paint on woollen clothing may sometimes be removed by rubbing the spot with the same cloth. It1 is sup­ posed that the paint disappears In the fuzz produced by tbe rubbing. If this is not successful try turpenth e. Blood stains are about asjdlfficulb as any to get out Here starch comes into use. Make a thin paste-* and spread on the satin. Leave it to dry. Then brush off. Generally the stain will go with the starch. The worst stains, however, will require several application® of the starch. A poor ironer is one ot the great trials of housekeeping. Scorched clothes are often discarded as hope­ less. but If not too much burned may be made all right by the patient use of onion juice. Bake the onion, and squeeze out the Juice. Mix it with an ounce of fuller’s earth, a little ehredded soap and a wineglassful of vinegar. Heat the mixture till the soap is dissolved. Rub it web over the scorched place, leave to dry and then put tbe garment in- the regular washing. It is sometimes difficult to remove large coffee stains. First pour boiling water through the stain, then dip the spot in strong ammonia water, rinse In cold water, and put out in the sun to bleach. For tea stains nothing is needed but plain water.

COLLIE SHEPHERDS ■ Dogs Show Their bagMlty and FaithiulneM Hardly-a winter passes but from the great sheep ranges of the northwest comes some story of the intelligence, faithfulness and endurance of a shep­ herd's only companion, bis collie dog. These sheep dogs came by their na­ ture and training honest’?, for cither they- or their ancestors came from the sheep dotted hills of England, Scot­ land or Wales, where lor generation® past the supreme effort of the shep­ herd has been to produce a perfect sheep dog. They have succeeded well, for no man could be as useful to the sheep owner, for man U neither so persistent nor agile, possesses such en­ durance or Is so gentle under train­ ing and reproof. The dog does not reason as to the why and wherefore of his affection, for the worst sort of a brutal shepherd dog, one that will mind the sheep on the hills, patiently await his master's coming from the tavern and guide his reeling footsteps to his home. On the great plains of the west these dogs have made it possible for one man to care for 3,000 or 4.000 sheep in a flock. All they ask is a bite to eat, and once in awhile, when their, feet are filled with the sharp pines ot the cactus, they will come to have them taken out. There is no’ value on a well trained sheep dog. The well bred collie which takes the prizes at the bench show is beautiful to JooM at, but his homelier brother, the' trained dog of the range, is worth, more. In the new country the work of the sheep dog Is hard. It is on a big scale. In the old country the work Is easier, but it has its finer points. In the new country the dog may drive 2.000 sheep; in the old country a dog may have to drive 3,000 or 4,000, which* takes more thought and skin. In tbe old country the feature of every coun­ try fair in a sheep district is the sheep dog trials. A trophy is tbe an­ nual prize, and the shepherds and their dogs come from afar off to try for the cup. Tbe field is cleared of the crowd. Thrte sheep are taken in a wagon to the far end. perhaps into a bit of wood, and there turned loose. The shepherd and his dog must get these sheep to­ gether. drive them the length of tbo field, through certain stalked wails, through gates and over bridges and final’y into a pen built in the open with no guiding fences on either side and with but narrow openings. By word, gesture and whistle the directs the dog at long range. SWIFT SPECIFIC CO, ATLANTA. Scotch Collie Shepherd. The dog keeps one eye on his master and one on the sbrep. He slinks along close to the ground nr covets it at lightning speed, as the need of the moment may demand. He works the sheep with human intelligence and a speed and energy of which no man is capable. The work of the trained sheep dog puts bi® kind at the Bead of fhe list of Intelligent animals. These trials for tbe trophy are a great feature of life in tbe sheep countries. Rivalries are engendered and often neighborhoods divided ovtr, the respective merits of the dogs. Th? day of the triaf is the great day of tha country fair, and the betting Is high between the factions. IBooks do not seem to count In this trial of skill, for the great long haired collie of tbe type known in America is not always the best The dog that carries away the trophy may be a little, short haired, homely and insignificant brute, which slinks to tbe beel of bis master like a creature of no spirit But send him after the sheep, and his whole character seems to change. He is slow and gentle or quick and bold, as the sheep -iay require. L„n’t forget to let the p’gs have a run to grass. If that cannot be done, fence off an acre or so of wheat for them. The pig is an omnivorous ani­ mal, 1. e., he eats all kinds-of food A. Bedford. Superintendent of the Brandon Experimental Farm, Is pre­ paring to try an interesting experi­ ment with two fine litters of pigs he is just weaning. An acre of Brome grass ha® been fenced off and one-half of each litter will be placed on the pasture and given a small quantity of grain. The other half will be kept in pens and fed green feed and grain there. We will watch Ibis experiment with Interest, for pigs will do well on green feed and if they will harvest.it themselves and make better grains ' than when fed In pens, why go lo tbe extra labor? To dry up a cow reduce the ____ feed,, take away the grain, and when the milk j'ieid drops, milk first once a day, then once in two days, and in one to two weeks the aperage cow wili be («»X. with ber udder In good condition. With persistent milkers there is sel­ dom difficulty if alfalfa only ir fed for a time. 'If a cow continues to give milk under this treatment or if the udder is hard and feperish. the work ef drying up must stop and the ra­ tion be changed to a light milk ration, with loosening feeds, and the cow milked regularly. Forced drying vp under these conditions injures the cow. If by oversight tbe drying up process has been neglected until with­ in three or four weeks ot calping. do not attempt It, as there Is risk of in­ jury to the health of tbe cow and her udder. After becoming dry the cow will need little attention before calving if she is ou good pasture.—Live Stock. THE COMMODORE’S CUE In the early days of steamboatlng the Ohio River they had only stem wheel boats, and old Commodore Cullough of Cincinnati conceive* < scheipe to build and launch k a pal— "side-wheeler,” which would by u—» of her beauty and size "run the •taxM wheelers out of the trade."

IB.—Bitter ra dal feeling between some French Can adians and Britishers culminated In & flag incident in the neighboring city ol New Westminster, where serious con­ sequences were only averted by the prompt action of the authorities. On tbe new stone postoffice building In process of construction are employed a number of French Canadians brought thither for tnat work from Quebec. They were given a Saturday half holiday and hoisted the Union Jack and the French tri-color on tho same pole. The British flag was re­ moved surreptitiously and when the French ensign was discovered floating alone over the government building a crowd of Englishmen gathered to pull It down. The French Canadians de­ fended their flag and a hand to hand conflict followed. The authorities stopped the fight by pulling down the offending flag. The occurrence has caused Intense feeling between repre­ sentatives of the two nationalities. Killed by a Desperado.

White arrived from Grand Rapids at 2 o'clock. He was accompanied by his brother-in-law, W. E White, CapL W. S. Kinney, formerly associated with him In the volunteer service; Lieut. Col.

The former missed the noon train and so drove across the country.

When the files finally arrived White and his attorney stepped into.the court room, and Prosecutor Tuttle announc­ ed his desire to make an arraignment.

D. Havas, Assistant Cashier Hxxby G. Haysi, * It One day in 1877 a carpenter stopped at Panama on his way home from California, where be had earned a fall measure of success In the goldfields. In such places men are not discrimi­ nating as regards the acquaintances they make, and be fell in with a couple of rough looking sailors who bad de­ serted from a whaler that put Into port for provisions. One evening, upon learning that be was a miner and therefore familial with metals, they showed him a strong bag filled with some hard substance, which they asked him to examine and pronounce judgment upon. He examined the contents, which he found to be gold of the finest quality, whereupon, after first Imposing an oath of strict secrecy, they told him that shortly before arriving at Pana­ ma their ship had touched at an island to take in water. The casks were rafted ashore and quickly filled, the ship meanwhile standing off and on. While waiting for the ship to stand in these two sailors strolled along the beach for about two miles until they came to a place where a ravine or water course came down from a high mountain, passed under a natural stone arch and emptied-into the sea. Here they noticed that the sand of the beach was filled with a number of shining particles resembling gold and that the crevices or seams of the water course also seemed full of It Not sure whether It was gold, they gathered a small package and retraced their steps to the boat saying nothing, however, to their companions of the discovery. Being assured by the carpenter that they had discovered genuine gold, the sailors proposed that the three of them should fit out a small vessel and re­ turn to the island. The plan was agreed to at once. A vessel was pur .chased, and six or eight more meu were Induced to join the expedition. / There were so few men available and another severely wo Thus all tbe stores and tools burned, together with the poor wound­ ed wretch on deck. The next morning a party set out to explore the island and soon found a simple minded old German on the op­ posite side who lived all by himself— a sort or Robinson Crusoe life—tilled s little soli and kept a couple of fishing boats. That night. some of the more desperate spirits of the party proposed that they should steal one of the old German’s boats, sail to the mainland, seize a small vessel and bring It back to the island with more provisions and tools. The carpenter and the sailor who had joined him the night before tried to dissuade them from putting the plan into execution, but they persisted and sailed away the next day. In about two weeks the sailboat hove In sight and when she was beach­ ed an emaciated, wounded wretch crawled out. the sole survivor of the crew that bad sailed away so confi­ dently two weeks before. Before he died he told how the ras­ cals had succeeded In reaching tbe coast safely and with little.difficulty had found a small vessel suited to Itahilug Sunken M. Matignon, a Frenchman.

New York, Nov. 14.—R. G. Dun ft Co.'s weekly review of trade says: With reasonable promptness business is recovering both actuality and tone and fortunately without the sharp rise in general prices which was seen in the spring, and which was followed by a sudden and serious transition to a more natural range. Manufactured goods are rising in response to a bet­ ter demand from distributing rourcea, helped at the end of the week by more seasonable weather. Business is not yet what it was on the top of the wave of industrial prosperity, but the work­ ing force Is fast increasing. The or­ dinary measures of business reflect in­ creasing operations at all points but the textile markets are at the point oi least response to the Improved under­ tone of trade. Recital of conditions in the iron and steel market has become a monoto­ nous repetition. Each week there la the same record of activity so general­ ly distributed that everything from the raw material to the finished pro­ duct, enjoys a share. There Is also the same freedom from speculative accum. ulatin In anticipation of fancy prices that has been for weeks the most en­ couraging feature. Two factors militate strongly against activity and strength In wool and woolens. Mild weather has been the chief adverse Influence, reducing sales far below a normal volume in this vicinity, while liquidation of em* barrassed concerns threatens to throw a considerable quantity on the market at forced sales. Undaunted by recent reverses, spec­ ulators In cotton advanced the price about 83.50 a bale in ten days. Re­ ceipts have been of moderate volume but the site of the current crop can­ not be approximated by any ordinary system of averages this year, owing to the ample funds in the hands of the planters enabling them to holdTkack much of their crop. Estimates ‘>ave fallen below ten million bales because, of the slow movement, and this fact, together with last month’s record breaking value of exports, forms the basis of present prices. Failures for the week were 238 in the United States against 191 last ydar and 29 In Canada, against 22 last year. Albany, Nov. 24.—Gov.

Another attempt will doubtless be made by tbe leglslatare of Georgia to dlsfran cbiae the negroes of that state. Kansas republicans are boasting that in the next four years tbey will roll up the visual republican msjorlty of 80.000 and vpwards. The democratic attempt at reorganiza­ tion seems to have flashed in tbe pan. Be- KrnbUcans certainly have no reason to feel baa on account of the failure. During tbe last four yean tbe popula tlon of Hawaii has Increased forty per cent Everything aboat tbe Island shows Chat annexation has been a good thing. Mr. Bryan admits that tbe present prosperity was tbe cause of bls defeat. When a man has to admit that be is de­ feated by prosperity, be ought to add that toe is glad of IL Owing to cheating election laws the re­ publicans were deprived of victory in Ken­ tucky, and perhaps In M issouri. Such a law as the Goble law, Is the confession of a party that sees Its doom approaching aad tonows that It is deserved. Tbe Yale University bas offered free 'Vuitton to five Flllplnoes to be selected by Judge Taft of tbe Philippine commission. Tbe Flllplnoes will eventually learn to love the United States, and rejoice In tbe tact that they fell Into such good bands. Now that the stuffing of ballot boxes In Kentucky has been temporarily dispoyd of. democrats have a* free band to go ahead with their persecutions of all repub­ licans who happened to be in tbe state at tbe time of tbe Goble assassination. Senator Hanna, during bis trip through Nebraska, previous to election, told tbe people that in case of republican success he would come back after election and •’wear hls horns.” He will doubtless be called upon to make another trip to tbe West. Within tbe past twelve months two republicans wbo were elected governors of Kentucky, have been counted, out by tbe dDfamous Goble law. Congress certainly ought to give that law some attention and ■not allow tbe expressed wish of a majority of tbe Kentucky citizens to be overthrown by tbe provisions of the Goble law, as is oow done. No other country on earth uses its Bol diets as well as tbe United States. Dis­ cipline Is necessarily strict, but everything that can add to tbelr comfort and happi­ ness is done. Ad order has just been le­ aned. stating that Uncle Sam will carry all Christmas boxes across tbe Pacific, free of -charge, which are sent to tbe U. S. Quar­ termaster department at San Francisco. Rlteble’s majority. The circumstances this year are directly referred. Tbe fare of tbe returns showed that M r. Cortright. tbe democratic nominee, carried the county by seven. Neither Mr. M Itebell nor any of bis friends ever claimed that any of tbe township election boards wilfully, tried to give him the worst if It by send­ ing in false returns. All that was thought all that was hoped tor, and all that was expected was that, in the baste to get through on election night, when clerks are less commotion, there might be mistakes made. Defeated by bnt seven, on the face of tbe returns, Mr. Mitchell bad a perfect right to ask for a recount, and be simply took advantage of a law giving him that privilege, jut exactly the same u Mr. Mack, the democratic nominee, did four years ago, and there to no more ground and no more justice in claiming that Mr. Mitebell to trying to steal tbe office, than there would have been to have charged Mr. Meek with trying to do tbe same thing four years ago. There certainly should be no difference between tbe right of a democrat to eontest for tbe office, and tbe right of a republican to eontest for tbe same office, and any effort to make It ap­ pear so dow, will fall flat in tbe face of He democratic recount four years ago, which democrats seem to forget. The statement that tbe contest now is simply one to save republican money Is false, and as to parti­ sanship on tbe board of canvassers, that Is a matter which may, and probably will be shown up In court, and Banvkb readers can be assured that ln\tbe comparison tbe republicans will in no wise suffer. If Mr, Cortrigbt is legally elected we want to see him have the office; If be la not legally elected be should not expect IL But the cry of "republican steal” is silly and non­ sensical, as Is tbe attempt to decry Mr. Mitchell’s perfect right to make tbe con­ test. The United States are all right in respect to the education of women. Great Britain lags a little behind, but she is trying to catch up. France Ib giving her women the beet possible opportunities In this direction. In the French institutions for what Is called the higher education there were en­ rolled in 1880 1,000 women and In 1900 20,000. In the other European coun­ tries there Is a disposition to open the universities to girls, but a lack of the necessary preparatory schools. Ger­ many, which gives to men educational advantages which are not surpassed In the world, Is not abreast with most civilized nations In educating wo­ men. The present Russian minister of Education bas recently stated that “a 12 years’ course of uninterrupted study would make such demands on the mental and physical powers of girls that, after graduation, they would be unfitted for life’s work." Only a hun­ dred years behind tbe times, that’s alL There is, however, some advance along this line even In Germany. Japan has shown her characteristic­ ally progressive spirit In providing al­ ready a university education for new women. Even Honduras lias establish­ ed an American college for girls, and little Porto Jllco sends up to know if Chicago university will not take some of her men and women too. Jt may be said In general terms that tfie modern tendency of all civilized nations Is In the direction of educating women. Without education they must remain in an Inferior ^position. With educa­ tion there Is no limit to their possible achievements. dMeriptiotu. workboxm, Ubln, Sower- orated in the following simple manner, using autumn leaves, dissolved gum arable, black paint, copal varnish, etc. Select perfect leaves, rub the article to be ornamented with sandpaper and give a coat of black paint.

B.” in Wo­ man’s Journal. Barrie's Str-wage Thoory, A very strange theory is propounded in Mr. J. M. Barrie’s new play. It is one of which those who hold tbe rights cf women to be sacred will rightly dis­ approve, and assuredly ..the balance of justice does not seem to be very evenly held between men and women in this new’dramatic problem, but tbe author would have us believe that the story he has set forth is not merely made for the stage,, but Is one of everyday life, and as such we are asked to ac­ cept hls solution of the problem pro­ pounded as the best In the circum­ stances. Woman, it needs not to be said, is always forgiving and generous to the opposite sex, but why should a play be written to show that to save one man from the unhappiness which hls own sin brings upon him two women must sacrifice themselves? The life of a pure and Innocent girl must be clouded, the life of the “other woman” must be wrecked, because If either or both treated according to his deserts the despicable creature who has deceived wife and victim alike the punishment would be greater, we are asked to believe, than the sin war­ rants! Again, It Is suggested in this production that a woman had far better marry a rake than risk wplnsterbood, and Indeed the character through whom this theory Is propounded is even made to say that rather than lose the joys of wifehood and maternity a woman should close her eyes to the fact that her lover has wrecked an­ other woman's honor, and, maybe, broken her heart. Surely it Is as un­ just to tbe noble band of spinsters to accept such a theory as It Is degrading to tbe honorable estate of matrimony.. —Philadelphia Ledger. Poem* Ib Silk.

Prudent women areLiving tbelr Tinted note paper Is again fashion. More than this, ths bfnartest papetrle is elaborately decorated, and the quali­ ty of the paper itself has been radical­ ly changed for tbe autumn-winter trade. Cadet gray, French blue, Yale blue and gray green papers, that have always been popular, as well as the bank note, cream laid, kid and linen finishes, are all quite out of the run­ ning today. The correspondence sup­ plies now come In pastel or the deeper autumn tones, having a cartridge and burlaps finish. The pastel tinted sheets are cut quite small indeed. It Is an evidence of good taste just dow to use small shied paper for letters as well as notes, and all the stamping Is done In very small script or old English lettering. Furi­ ously as tbe black letter fashion raged, it has with unexpected suddenness been dropped from general use, and It Is a prevailing notion to have the ad­ dress stamped across the upper corners of the sheets and at tbe left hand side.

BEE BUZZES. It seldom pays to go into winter quar­ ters with weak colonies. The more frequently a comb has been used fur breeding the darker it will be in color. Before going into winter quarters each colony should be provided with 25 pounds ot food. Bees bred in September and October are of the proper age to winter well. Have the hive strong. A colony of bees that must be fed for winter should be fed early. If not fed early,'it will often prove a loss. It is important to go into winter quar­ ters with good, fertile queens.' The col­ ony may be in tbe best shape possible otherwise, but if there is a defective queen the colony will prove a loss. No upper stories or boxes should be left in the hive* late in the fall or early winter. Remove all such and confine the bees to the brood chamber nud prepare them for winter in as good shape aa pos­ sible. Division broods should be used in all weak colonies, since contracting the space in tho hive to suit the sise of the colony is an important matter. Chaff to“ cushion diviaions are preferable *~ boards.—St. Louis Republic. THE COOKBOOK. A good ripe apple is completely digest­ ed In 85 minutes. Thia easy digestion is one thing which make* the apple ao de­ sirable. In choosing a turkey try the skin under the lag or wing. If it U easily broken, the turkey is young. If in turning tbe wing backward the joint yields readily, it is tender. Ginger sandwiches are made by cutting preserved ginger into thin strip* and spreading them between slice* of white sandwich bread cut very thin. Small, crisp.leaves of lettuce haarta are some­ times used with the ginger. No compound of gelatin or milk should be allowed to remain uncovered, as both aborb ImDuritlea from the air. A cut ohion Ts a genuine scavenger m the same respect and should never be used in cook­ ing. nor should it be eaten after it haa been cut for any length of time. FLOWER AND TREE. Flowerpots should hare good drainage.Many winter plants die from the soil undernaath being too wet . A preventive ot frostbitten plants I* secured by staking one flowerpot inside another.

The dam to to be 220 feet high apd will cost 3700,000. The city of Philadelphia is to have a 12 story fireproof hotel shortly, to be erected not far south of the dty hall and to cost flearly or quite $1,000,000. One of the police officials of Chicago has discovered that'that city has an or­ dinance which prohibits the erection of fences tipped with spikes, nails or other pointed instruments, under penalty of a fine ranging from $25 to $50. The law bas long been a dead letter, and even the dty owns many such proscribed fences. PUNTS. Another young man’s back has been broken in a football game. However, such things ns this have ceased to be events. They are mere incidents now.— Chicago Times-Herald.

It Is claimed, and we have never seen it disputed, that L< itad a message ready to send to this special session, urging tne Legislature to impeach Judge Pearson. That message matter, writes Gov. Pingree in tbe pubile history of Michigan as a shameless par­ doner of thieves. In our opinion Gov. Pingree has laid himself open to the suspicion tbat two thieves, convicted of stealing from the state and occupying place In bls official house­ hold, unless pardoned, might make state­ ments tbat might so involve bis, adminis­ tration ns to bring blm into greater con­ tempt. If that were possible, than that in which he is now held. We believe that few people conversant with the facts can ever be led to believe tbat Pingree took thio action from choice, bnt rather did It from a feeling that It waa necessary., Tbe members of the Legisla­ ture ought to get together at once and Impeach Gov.

There Is no doulv that tbe electric charge of a doun comes from an initial charge multiplied by induction. The Initial charge may be acquired by evapora­ tion. for we know that electricity may be generated in that way, or It may be generated by the, friction of vapor lad­ en air, which, moving as wind, comes in contact with objects on the earth's surface. This vapor is composed of very mi­ nute particles of water, each of which becomes electrified, the charge accu­ mulating on its surface. Now, as these particles or drops come together and are condensed into larger drops tbe surface area Is reduced In proportion to the volume, nnd an Increased elec­ tric accumulation Is tbe result In other words, when two drops are condenied into one there Is the same quan­ tity of water and of electricity as when tbe drops were separate, but there is a good deal less surface, and tbe electric charge is Intensified tn that extent. Tlie drops so formed attract smaller drops by their greater power, and thus condensation, with continual increase of power, goes on rapidly, and a thun­ dercloud begins to form. As tbe cloud is sent forward by the wind It affects tbe earth's surface by Induction, and tbe earth's surface affects It In the same way. the cloud boconjlng posi­ tively nnt! tlie earth negatively charg­ ed. Tliis goes on rapidly, electric en­ ergy being vontlni'.nlly drawn to the cloud from the air and the same quan­ tity tM‘lng rr|M*||i*d from the earth be­ low. Thus It Is that tbe thundercloud forms so quickly and acquires so great electric power.

W WEAKNESS O» MSN AND WOMEN Could we read the hearts of every man we meet, what a load of sorrow and despair would be disclosed. Indiscretions and Blood Diseases have caused more physical and mental wrecks than all other canaee combined.

Wheeler’s charge at the battle of Shiloh was said by General Grant to be one of the most splendid exhibitions of human bravery he hud ever witness­ ed. and a feat which roused admira­ tion among both armies was when the Intrepid little general accomplished the destruction of Rosecrans' provision train after the battle of Chfckamauga. On Dec. 80, 1863, General Wheeler attempted and successfully carried out one of the most daring, perilous and Important duties ever assigned a cav­ alry commander. He crossed the Ten­ nessee river in tbe face of a division of cavalry under General George Crook, drove back and worsted the troops that guarded the Federal trains of 600 mules and 1,000 wagons and captured tbe whole, with 1,500 prisoners. While he was thus engaged Rosecrans’ cavalry, 8,000 strong, swept down upon the Georgians. The latter charged and repulsed the northerners, capturing the forts at McMinnville, Tenn., with 000 prisoners and great stores; capturing the forts and destroy­ ing the bridges near Murfreesboro, and then, as full of tight as at the begin­ ning of the engagement, they turned and put to rout General Hooker and the Eleventh, and Twelfth corps that came riding down at the moment to re­ enforce the Yankees.—Chicago Journal.

The word “bedlam" is a corruption of the word "Bethlehem" and originat­ ed as a synonym for chaos at the time when the house of Bethlehem, occu­ pied by a sisterhood of London, became an insane asylum. The treatment of the Insane in tbe early part of the six­ teenth century was not well under­ stood, and. according to the theories then prevalent It was necessary to frighten the patient out of his lunacy. All sorts of awful expedients were re­ sorted to. among them “surprise floors,” which slipped from under the feet; "surprise baths" and floggings at the periods of most severe Illness; hence the name "bedlam,” the result of in­ correct spelling, possibly, came easily to stand for awful things. .

They were picked up Saturday afternoon in thtf lake.where they were found lashed to an overturned yawL They had keen thus exposed since Friday, when they were capaised by a squall while sailing from the Island to the main land. Lucien Morden, of Montague, Mich., was also an occupant of the boat when it capsixed and was drowned before he could be lashed to the overturned craft. The two rescued men are badly frozen and it is thought they may have to suffer amputation of their lower limbs. They were taken to the hos­ pital here where the following story of their terrible experience was told by Mr. (Shields": "Upon receiving orders to close the lighthouse for the season, we prepared to leave the island, together with our helpers, Lucien Horden, of Montague; Mrs. Shields and Mrs. Davis, my wife’s niece. We left the island on Friday for tne main land, seven miles distant, bound for Harbor Springs. When out only a short time a heavy win'd struck tbe sail of our boat, capsixing it and throwing us all into the lake. We all succeeded, after much bard work, in reaching the boat. McCauley and I lashed both the women to the boat and then ourse.ves. Morden, the helper, had in the meantime become delirious and refused to be lashed or to attempt to save himself, and soon after fell off the boat and was lost. My wife and her niece. McCauley and myself, lashed and clinging to the boat, were tossed about and suffered terribly from the cold and seas which washed over us. , "About seven hours after the acci­ dent happened my wife succumbed, be­ Name of a New Peper Which W.

The desperado drew a big gun and a fight was at once started, which continued until the train reached Bridgeport, when other offi­ cers got on. Two of the gang were overpowered but the others jumped through the windows and made their escape. During the fight men and women were frantic with fear and many tried to jump from the windows while the train was in motion to escape the fly­ ing bullets.

PLAN FOR CABBAGE PIT. posts should be put into the ground a few inches nt bottom and set on a flat stone. For tbe roof I find it best to use good pine 1 by 12 and cap Joint with 1 by G, nailed to ridgepole and the sill, which Is convenient to take nff when filling the house. The beads can be tossed direct from the wagon down to the men placing them In the pit. It Is also handy to clean and air In tbe spring. The center post to support ridgepole, as above mentioned, should be boarded up on bbth sides, leaving a three or four Inch space between each board up to the roof, thus leaving a good air space. Also have three venti­ lators six inches square made of Inch boards run up two feet above roof. In warm weather leave door open at end and top of ventilators, which gives per­ fect circulation. Of course In severe cold weather It is closed as tight as possible. At the end have one door large enough to go in either side of the pit; also covered steps, with an outside door. Whim severe cold weather acts tn. we usually cover the roof with strong horse manure. In our 30 years’ experience we spent considerable mon­ ey, to say nothing about loss of thou­ sands and thousands of beads df cab­ bage, experimenting. But the above described building has given fentire sat­ isfaction. Experience has taught us that no matter how perfect the building may be if cabbage is roughly bandied and not properly cured before 'storing It will not keep. I find that It pays to select only good sound stock for win­ ter. It should be cut off the stump, heads turned bottom side up to let wa­ ter run out anti head seal over where it has been cut from the stump, which re­ quires at least five hours of sunshine. Our cabbage Is trimmed as close and with as much care for storing as if it were going to market. Stump and dead leaves only cause decay; besides, they take up too much valuable space and cause more labor to handle crop. The size I have given you Is about right for two acres of very large flat cabbage. It will bold three acres of ordinary Dan lib or tbe same of ordi­ nary flat, concludes tbe grower who presents this plan in Rural New York- ’Stop on signal only.

Even the errors that are habitual In a particular section’in one ieende become the habit of a section farther west In the next. The soil robber began his work with the landWg of the pilgrims on the Atlantic west each year, repeating his thefts upon nature as he went, leaving those who came after him to bear tbe bur­ den of his dishonest treatment of the •oil. We realize this as we see laws for the analysis and regulation of tbe trade In commercial fertilizers gradual­ ly creeping west. Every few years the legislature of some new state, where commercial fertilisers were only a short time before practically un­ known, passing laws in regard to them because their use and the necessity of It was gradually creeping In. Agriculture is conducted at a great disadvantage when the condition* be­ come such that commercial fertilizers are necessary, and in the west. If western farmers will but heed the ex­ periences of those farther east, the use of commercial fertilizers can, by proper management, be postponed in­ definitely. If a farm In rich Id fer­ tility, the fact should not relieve Its owner from tbe necessity of keeping It so. If the farm seems to be grow­ ing poorer. It affords a good reason why Its owner should reform his man­ agement and bring the land up and make It richer. It can be done with­ out resort to any of tbe ”ates’’ and “ashes” that are sold on tbe market. The means for doing It are intelligent cultivation, well devised rotations and the keeping of live stock to the full capacity of the farm, together with the Intelligent and economical use of the resultant manure and the growing of leguminous crops In rotation. Every man’s situation and circum­ stances present a problem that Is, In some respects at least, a sjieeial one. How a particular farm can best be Im­ proved In fertility Is a subject re­ quiring special investigation and study by the person most Interested—namely, the owner. But, concludes Iowa Home­ stead, the general fact is true that by tbe means above suggested the fertil­ ity of every farm can be maintained end Improved, and the way fertilizer laws are creeping westward Indicates that for the farmers of those localities that have not yet been reached by them there Is no more Important prob­ lem than that of maintaining fertility, •o that the necessity for these ferti­ lizer laws may never arise In hla own^ state. A Notion In Pl»r Trowffha. It is as natural for a pig to put his feet in the slop trough as to put bls nose there, and if he can get his body lengthways of the trough It suits him FOOTPBOOF PIO TROUGH. Just as well to stand with both fore and hind feet In the trough. An Ohio Farmer correspondent has figured, out the following contrivance for circum­ venting this little trick; tbe cut ex­ plains the construction: These troughs should not be made more than 10 or 12 feet long. If made longer, they are Inconvenient to handle or move about Tbe lumber used should be durable. 1% Inches thick for one side of the trough and 8 Inches wide; for the other. 7 Inches; the same width and thickness will do for the end pieces. The trough is V shaped. To each end nail an upright piece (A) and let It extend above the trough at least a foot In the upper end of this up­ right cut a slot an Inch wide and 6 Inches deep. Into this fit a six inch fencing plank (B). This will be over the center of tbe trough, lengthwise, and six Inches from tbe top of the trough. The partitions (P) on each side of the trough should be about nine Native TOMATO FROGMORE SELECTED. guci forcers. Market Varieties of Celery.

At the time of Colouel Cody’s advent Into the cnpltal of Germany the old Emperor William was entertaining there three kings of smaller Germanic powers. The royal gentlemen were very much Interested In tbe Buffalo Bill exhibitions, and Colonel Cody was the recipient of many favors from the enijieror himself. One feature of tire performance was tbe exhibition of the antiquated Deadwood coach containing passengers who are attacked by In­ dians and finally rescued by cowboys. Tbe kaiser asked to be allowed to ride In this vehicle with his royal guests and to participate In this inter­ esting experience. The request'was of course granted, and when the coach was furiously assailed by bojviing In­ dians Its inmates were as usual saved by gallant cowboys. After it was over and as the royal party were descending from the coach the emperor remarked: “Colonel Cody, 1 do not suppose this la the first time that you have ever held four kings." “No, your majesty,” returned the quick witted scout, “but this is the first time I ever held four kings and a royal joker at the same timer’—Ban Francis­ co Evening Post Freak Water 8»rJ*<a I* KIImm*!.

It has been stated that the produc­ tion of tbe characteristic flavors of game is related directly to the amount of sulphuretted hydrogen or sulphur alcohol set free, but ft to rather re­ pulsive to think that the delicate flavor of game Is dependent upon that invari­ able product of decomposition of rot­ ten eggs—sulphurated hydrogen. The smell evolved during cooking of “high" game is even more disgusting. Fresh game sometimes sets up mys­ terious poisonous symptoms which have been attributed to the fact of the game having been overhunted and fatigued. Fatigue products indeed have been separated from overhunted game which, when injected into a healthy animal, have produced marked poisonous effects. There Is no doubt that fatigue products under certain cir­ cumstances are also elaborated in the' human body, and give rise to a species of self poisoning, characteristic symp­ toms of which aye headache, stupor and gastric and intestinal pains.

You have no Idea howthia thought­ fulness‘will be appreciated In a place where money is scarce and pretty things hard to buy. Some boxes pre­ sent an odd conglomeration when open­ ed, but the oddest contribution that 1 ever knew a woman to make in re­ sponse to tbe appeal of the missionary society was a wig.

She Revolted. Apropos of things to eaL out in the center of the state they have a good sized man and woman's club which meets monthly at the different homes, and the rock it came near splitting on was the question of refreshments. One lady must not make a lavish display which would cast another lady's hospi­ tality In the shade. It was decided that coffee and sandwiches should be the limit at every house, but there was one generous housekeeper who persist­ ed in serving cold fowl or lobster sal­ ad. A committee had to call upon het to remonstrate. But she stood firm. "Is It sandwiches? Not IT quo|b that valiant woman. "Sandwiches! 11 you serve them good and fresh—and there’ll be no other In my house. I can tell you—sandwiches mean heaps of trouble. Some ooe has got to be cut­ ting and spreading bread at tbe last minute. Some one, or, more likely, some two, will be busy with sandwich­ es to make for a hundred people. And No. 3 would be boiling the coffee and No. 4 seeing to the table and all tbe little things that need looking after. No, ma’am; no. I don’t keep a whole retinue of servants. 1 can have my fowl roasted the day before or 1 can have my salad dressing made early In the morning and kept on Ice ready foi mixing, when wanted, in 15 minutes. But sandwiches—fresh, thin slices of bread that dry almost as fast as you cut them—I’d rather resign from the club.” It was "the revolt of mother” tn ear­ nest The committee gave up Its point and went away impressed with the fact that what appears most simple Is frequently most elaborate. — Chicago Post The latest and probably tbe most sensible diet reform for those suffering with weak stomachs Is to effect a cure without drugs. In tbe opinion of lead­ ing physicians, the modern stomach gets out of order through too much eat­ ing and drinking, and then to relieve It we add drags, which In time Induce a catarrhal and chronic condition of In­ digestion that is difficult to deal with. The new theory is simplicity itself. Abjure drags and solid foods. Let the stomach regain Its normal condition by rest Milk is tbe great diet, and next to It Is cod liver oil. Ln tbe opinion of the medical profession, this is largely imagination. The two are easily di­ gested. and the stomach soon learns to adapt Itself to them. A little nourish­ ing soup may later be added. Such a liquid diet followed for days and weeks will nourish and fatten the system, tone up the stomach and effect a cure when medicines fall While the liquid diet'fattens. It does not supply brawn and muscle: consequently tbe patient while on the diet should take a very moderate amount of exercise, either physical or mental, and food should be taken often, at least once In every three hours. Of al) diet reforms this should recommend itself to the con­ servative mind because of tbe sound common sense contained In it Mias Emily L. Morden o,f Milwaukee makes an excellent income as a buyer of game. She takes out a hunter's li­ cense and goes up Into northern Wis­ consin woods and makes ber purchases, either directly from the hunters or from the dealers to whom the hunters bring their game. For three months in a year she travds from shipping point to shipping point, and when she has gathered a sufficient quantity of birds to make tbe trip profitable she returns to Milwaukee and disposes of her purchases. Under the laws of Wis­ consin no shipping of game Is allowed, and consequently every consignment of game to tbe towns has to be brought down from tbe woods as tbe personal baggage of some one bolding a hunt­ er's license. Frequently Miss Morden’s personal baggage of this character reaches 2,000 birds, although her con­ signments are not Confined alone to birds. She does not hunt herself. She started out last autumn tn her novel enterprise, and her success last season encouraged her to buy more extensive­ ly this year, and tbe results have been most satisfactory.

I4tU« Fleaaaro I* Katix. A little boy was fishing for the first time. With the customary luck of a begtnner be had bass and perch galore to answer the Invitation of his bait Presently the impulses of the humanevslde of bis nature made a little hesitating protest against the mere savage instincts of the sportsmanlike side. The wriggling of the fish when he caught them troubled him, and he sought to apologize to his conscience for the suffering be was apparently in­ flicting. He said, "I think the reason they jump so is that they are so glad to get out of tbat wet water.” Curiously enough, if we may accept the testimony pf the scientists, the lit­ tle boy was quite right. A fish is never so happy as when he Is drawn out Iof the water. The air Is to him quite all that laughing gas Is to a human being. It gives hiin a hundred times more oxygen per second than his gills ever got for him from the inhalation of wa­ ter. It makes him delightfully drunk- । en. It exhilarates him. It fills him with a completeness of physical joy— the only joy he Is capable of feeling}— wholly unknown to him In bla native element. He dies presently, it is true, but he dies lu an ecstasy of enjoyment Instead of dying in his appointed faRb•w.. by suffocation in ... tbe — - maw hip of widowed lon sonie bigger fish. I bigger fish. In a footnote to the thirteenth canto ■ of "Don Juan” Byron denounces Izaak Walton as a “sentimental Ravage" aqd characterizes fishing as “the craelert. the coldestiof pretended sports."7 That only shows' bow little Byron kne^v about the matter.

His wife te afraid of the hired girl, and be is left handed." “Mr. Holmes, you are an everlasttni marvel How can you tell that about a man you don't know and whom you never saw before?" "Look at tbe second knuckle on hli left hand. You see. It Is badly skinned. Also there Is a black mark on his left cuff. Now let us see what we ipurt make of this. When a left handed man pokes up tbe furnace fire, how does he do it? By putting.his left hand for­ ward, of course. Thus It happened that It was his left hand which scraped against tbe furnace door. Tbe black­ ened cuff shows tbat It was a' furnacs door. Having this foundation to work upon, the rest Is easy. If be lived in a fiat be would have no furnace to look after, and If his wife were not afraid of the hired girl they would, make the latter do the poking up. It te all very simple If one’s perceptive faculties are properly trained. He can’t really af­ ford to live In a bouse, because If he could he would have a man to look aft­ er the furnace. Therefore he ought to live in a flat" "But hold on. How do you know the man is married? He can’t be over 30 at the moat Why may it not be possi­ ble that be lives at home with his wid­ owed mother?" . “My dear sir," said Sherlock Holmes, Jr., "I am surprised at your lack of perspicacity.

The xnen-of-war of the Romans had a crew of about 225 men, of which 174 were oarsmen working on three decks. and Indeed endured the purgatory of standing In tbe pillory for a day. He was a man of unctuous piety, and his ! career In many respects resembled that ' of Jabez Raifobr tn later days- After his death tbe following prayer was found In his own handwriting among his papers: "O Lord, thou knowest that I have nine bouses in the city of London and that I have lately purchased an estate in fee simple In the county of Essex. I beseech thee to preserve tbe two coun­ ties of Middlesex and Essex from fire and earthquake, and as I have a mort­ gage in Herefordshire I beg of thee to have an eye of compassion also on that county, and for the rest of tbe counties thou mayest deal with them as thou art pleased.

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.
