NUMBER 18 wholesale price, at an actual loss., rather than raise tbe price, bat we al­ ways have it in stock and our cus­ tomers can get It at any time. But you may haye noticed that whenever the wholesale price of salt goes away off, some third rate dealer sometimes puts In a carload, or gets someone else who has credit to do it for him, and then tries to make a great splurge talking about "cut prices” and how' much money he saves to the farmer and all that rot, and then JuSt as soon as the price goes up a few points the third rate dealer "Is Just out of salt,” even if he does have a few barrels piled up In his back yard. Why don’t he go on "saving big money to the dear farmers*" Can It be that the rise in price has anything to do with it? Ob, of course not. Tbe war Is open, and it will be war to tbe knife. We have always pro­ tected our customers In the price of salt and shall continue to do so, and we don’t propose that any Jew tactics shall be employed to swindle our pat­ rons. We admire honorable compe­ tition, but we dispise dishonorable, lying methods of trying to fool people into trading with irresponsible dealers who haye salt one day, and don’t have it the next. We have Just bought two more carloads, and we propose to sell it Just as cheap as any man In Nashville can sell It, and possibly a little cheaper than they can sell it when tbe price goes up. The query arises, bow much has the other fellow made while he has been saving the farmers the seventy dol­ lars? Respectfully Yours, Townsend & Brooks.

There Is nothing more provocative of profanity than to milk a hard-milking cow, e*i>eclally If she is a kicker, as the hard milker Is apt to be. Farmers who pray that they be not led into tetppfatlon ought to give more care to tbe kind of cows they keep for their boys and hired men to milk. It Is a pretty seri­ ous business putting temptations to •wear in other people's way. There Is another reason why the hard-mllklng cow Is not likely to be profitable. To easy-going people, too good tempered to be.profane, the temptation takes an­ other form, that Is, not to swear at the cow, but to stop milking her before all the milk Is exhausted. Thus many a cow has dried up prematurely and nev­ er given her owner any profit, while If she had been an easy milker she had tbe capacity to become as good n cow as any In the dairy.—American Cultivator.

Farmers whoare fortunate enough to bare barn basements miss the best ad­ vantage of them if they do not use the basement to store a great variety of roots ond vegetables there, and thus re­ lieve the house cellar of the unpleasant anil also unhealthful odors from stored and fermenting vegetation. It is Dot hard to keep a deep basement free of frost all winter. If the basement Is near the surface, a bank of earth out­ side enclosing an air space will keep frost out. In tbe very coldest weather * few corn stalks thrown over vegetables or roots or some loose blankets over these will protect them sufficiently. I have been troubled a great deal to get rid of hog lice, and the* best way I have found yet, that Is a success. Is this: (My pigs are not troubled with them so much in the warm weather as cold):.

Few gowns except strict tailor-mades appear with close fitted fronts, the usu­ al front being loose, bugged, full or fold­ ed to the figure. Boleros In every kind of modification nre used. bloth gowns brightened by braiding and brilliant lining, yoke, front, belt or collar of silk, are used for dressy day­ light and informal dinner wear, rather than silk or velvet.

Nat­ urally they never fail to make a rich appearance, and this season’* methods of trimming save them from-’that mo­ notonous, unrelieved look which In the past has made them an easy target for the criticisms of the woman who could not afford a velvet gown.

Both were of greenish velvet, and the first one was cut princess, the Iwck of the bodice part being of the velvet and tight fitting, but the front showed a draping of tbe same shade of liberty satin.

Plaid velvet appears on a great many handsome gowns, sometimes as only a dash of color at neck and sleeves, again as a jaunty bit of audacity in the shape of a front to an’otherwise very sedate bodice. A stunning design ‘shows a bo­ lero jacket back, while in front the bo­ lero seems to have slipped down and become an open belt, while a loose yoke bangs above. For this yoke a plaid and striped velvet Is used, the lines and col­ ors bf the plaid being so arranged as to simulate the effect of tucking. Very handsome belts, of the bodice order are made-of this “tucked" velvet, the effect of fokls being thus secured without un­ wieldy thickness.

The essence of the trouble with tbe National Bank of Illinois was that the entire capital, ?2.(XX).<MX'. and surplus, $300,000. was practically loaned in one or two hands. Tbe bank had advanced some $1,500,000 on Calumet Electric Railroad stock, a property of momentari­ ly, nt least, doubtful security, While Dear­ ly $500,000 was loaned Dreyer A Co., who in turn had spread tbeir capital over an expanse o.mpletely out of their power to handle. Other large loan* to individuals more than completed th* sum of the bank’s capital and surplus. When these facts were brought to the at­ tention of the clrariug-housc, a week or so ago. a committee was njqwinted to in­ vestigate. in order if possible to dbcorsr some means of averting the failure. Tb* result of the committee’s investigation was to demonstrate that the management of the bank had been drifting Into uic?i>ods which no amount of bolstering up cotrid offset, and that however willing tho Chicago clearing-house might Im* to go to the assistance of tbe Illinois National, the most honest, safest and best policy would be to make a clean breast of tho whole business and for the credit of tho clearing-house itself, to suspend the bunk from membership pending a report by the government bank examiner.

The annual report of the Secretary of tho Treasury, ’ ns transmitted to Con­ gress, deals extensively and in detail with the financial situation. Mr. Carlisle summarise* tbe condition of the treasury, and after reviewing his former recom­ mendations for early und effective legis­ lation to provide for the retirement of treasury notes, goes on to say: “The maintenance of a policy which necessarily impose* upon the government the burden of furnishing gold at the pub­ lic expense to all who may demand It for use or hoarding at home, or for export to other countries, cannot be justified up­ on any ground of expediency on sound iinam'inl principles, and even if the periodical ami frequency recurring de­ mand u for gold did not weaken the foun-' dations of our entire currency system, thus itnpnriug confidence and depressing business, it would nevertheless be the duty of all who nre charged with any de­ gree of responsibility for the adoption of proper financial methods to insist upon the reformation of our laws on this sub­ ject at the earliest possible day. "Tbe issue and redemption of - circu­ lating notes h not a proper function of the treasury department, or of any other de­ partment of the government. While the government has power to borrow money, it is not its duty to Issue public obliga­ tions merely for the purpose of providing a paper currency for ux- in the transac­ tion of business, nor has it the constitu­ tional power. In'my opinion, to make ita promise legal tender In the payment of private debts. The Secretary refers to tbe “peril” In which the entire financial system has been placed by the “constant agitation” of the currency and favors tbe retirement and cancellation of goverument notes. He says the people will not consent to be taxed merely for the purpose of accumu­ lating anil holding n large and qseless surplus in the treasury. * He claims that no system of coinage that can be devi*e<I will furnish the gov­ ernment with either gold or silver, un­ less it pays for It with means already col­ lected by taxation, or by contracting an IndebhMness to be paid by the people in the future. He goes at length into tbe subject of the demand and supply of money, thp matter of imports and exports as affecting currency supplies, and the crops in Eu­ rope. The Secretary holds that without a reformation of our currency we cannot safely roly upon permanent accessions to our stock ot gold from abroad in settle­ ment of trade balances in our favor., He refers to his recommendation of last year that tbe Secretary of the Treasury be authorized to issue from time to time bonds payable In gold and to exchange them for United States notes and treas­ ury notes, aud again indorses that plan, hut. adds that it may be that ;io radical a measure would not receive the assent of Congress, in the present state of tbe public mind on the subject. Mr. Carlisle renews his recommenda­ tions for such amendments to the nation­ al banking lows ns would permit the issue of circulating notes equal in amount to the face value of the bonds deposited und reduce the tax on notes to one-fourth of 1 per cent, per annunu nnd that author­ ity be given to cstalmsh branch banks for the transaction of nil kind* of busi­ ness now allowed, except the issue of cir­ culating notes. No good reason now is perceived, ho says, why this limitation upon the required "amount of capital should not be reduced to $23,000. with­ out regard to population. He again re­ fers to and .enews his suggestion that the issue of United States notes, treas­ ury notes and national bank notes of lower denominations than ten dollars be prohibited in order to wcure a large and more permanent use of silver coin and certificates.

From the Homer Vidette of last week we are able to give a full account of the death and burial of Simeon Overholt: “After a long and painful illness Simeon Overholt departed this life Monday evening, December 21, at the home of his son J. W. Overholt, io this village. For many months he had been a great sufferer from a can­ cer. Al! that the best medical skill could accomplish was donv, but his weakened constitution could not stand tbe strain longer. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon and the remains taken to Wadsworth, Ohio, for Interment.” Mrs. Judith Frye of West Castleton attended the funeral. One of the sensations of tbe week was furnished by a replevin suit in Justice Marble's court last Saturday, brought by Mrs. Jacob Habersaat against’“Lone” Seaman. The case was tried by jury and the attorneys were W. S. Powers for the plaintiff and E. D. Mallory for the defendant. The case was over tbe household goods formerly used by Seaman and wife before they declared marriage a failure. Mrs. Hubersaat held a bill of sale of the goods from Mrs. Seaman who owned them before the marriage, but lost the suit. The trial brought out a great deal of rare and racy testimony and the court room was packed to suffocation all day. The testimony, if published Iu full, would make good reading for the De­ troit Sunday Sun or tbe Police Ga­ zette.

Awful Explosion Cornv*. About twenty men were all .at work in the mine, efonring’ up the debris result­ ing from a recent explosion, when no one was injured. Suddenly there was a flash, followtil by a blinding explosion. The smoke nnd gas came rushing from the mouth of the mine, and the alarm was at once given. The scene around the shaft was a pitiful one, the .wives, children aud relatives of the men below shrieking and wringing their hands iu anguish. The escape of four of the men from in­ stant death serins almost a miracle when it is considered that the heavy mine rages were blown from tbe shaft bottom to the top of the mlnehotjse, over 500 feet above, by the .force of the explosion. These cages were wrecked, so an iron bucket was improvised for a rescuing party us soon a* possible after the accident. The first persona brought up Were Tur­ kle, Grill and two colored men. Davis nnd Booker. The first was budly burned and waa carried to an ambulance. Grill and Davis were apparently uninjured, nnd walked off. saying they were all right. Brooker was cut and burned and hud to b«- supported. Aftcrward.lt was found his jaw was broken and one eye was torn । front it* socket. Al! were given medical attention by n <-<wps of physicians. Then the rescuing party began to bring up the dead. State Mine Inspector Fisher will inTtied men can explain the circumstances hat led up to the explosion. FIENDS WRECK A TRAIN.

Tlie opening Hik* of the report read: uCongre*«, at its last amotion, after long and patient consideration, adopted with practical unanimity the view expressed by yonr committee that the time had come for resuming intervention with Spain for the recognition of the' inde­ pendence of Cuba. Spain having declined to listen to any roprvaentation founded on an underatapding between heraelf and the insurgents, and Congress having pledged itself to friendly intervention, tbe only question that remains to bb decided is the nature of tho next step to be taken, wifb proper to the cost90*9 and uf Dutlun*." Six precedent* in fofolgil WUntf.U have made it plain to the committee "that Europe has invariably asserted nnd prac­ ticed the right to interfere, bath collec­ tively and separately, amicably and forci­ bly. in every instance, except that of Poland, where a European people ha* roRorted- to inMurrectiou to obtain inde­ pendence.” Then, with particular reference to Cuba, the report declare* the fauverument of the United States has always regarded Cuba as within the sphere of it* most active nnd serious interest. A* early a* 1825 the United Staten sought to inter­ pose its friendly oqjces." ‘ Reference is made to the action taken by Congress in the last session request­ ing the President to interpose his friend­ ly office* with Spain (or the recognition of Cuba. "Thi* action was.” the report declares, "taken on great consideration aud on just prinelplea." ou a right of in­ tervention exen-ised twenty-seven years ago. and after n patient delay unexampled in history. The Interval of nine months has proved the necessity of carrying ft out to completion. . The regular organization of un insur­ gent government, the adoptiou of a con­ stitution and election of n president is alluded to. then military force, "sufficient to bnflle the exertions of 290,000 Spanish ■oldiera" and their civil administration at work is given consideration, and rhe committee says: "The only question that properly remains for Congress to consider is the mode which should be adopted for the step which Congress is pledged to take. "The government has none but friend­ ly feelings for Spain, Wud there is no friendly office which Spain could ask which the United States within the limit* of their established principles and wlicy would not be glnd lo extend. In the pres­ ent instance they are actuated by an earnest wish to avoid the danger of seem­ ing to provoke n conflict.” The report ends with recommending the joint resolution recognizing tbe inde;>cudence of Cuba and proffering friend­ ly offices to Spain in order to bring the ’ war to a close.

WON’T BACK SPAIN. European Powers Approve of Our In­ tervention In Cub*. The corre«|»ondcnt of the London Chronicle at Washington, in a cable dis­ patch to that pajH-r. declare* that there is no doubt that Spain has unofficially, through Senor Dupuy de Lome, Its minlater, promised to accept the United States mediation directly after Gen. W’eyh-r has cleared the province of Plnar del Rio of,rebels, and then to grant any­ thing short of actual independence for Cuba. This dispatch cmA.nuea: "None of the Earojiean powers has protected against American intervention In Cuba. On the contrary. Mr. Olney has been as­ sured of their approval. England, how­ ever, remained strictly neutral. The re­ ports of a Etiro]H-iui protest were in­ spired by Mgr. Martenelli. the jiontifical delegate to the United States.” DEATH IN THE WIND. Wide Arcs in the South Swept by a Cyclone. Southern Arkansas. Northeastenijrex^a-nnd Northwestern Louisiana were swept by a terrible wind and rain storm Saturday ereping. Not less .than ten and probably it greater number of lives are lost. So far as heard from the greatest destruction occurred at Mboring*i»ort, La., about thirty miles from Texarkana, the entire town being blown away and adx or eight persons killed outright and twenty or more injured, some of them fatally. Rumors come of great destruc­ tion at Benton. Ark. The Iron Moun­ tain’s south-bound passenger train was caught In the storm at that station and had to be held there until the storm sub­ sided.

In small parties the soldiers penetrated into the xnonntain* in pursuit cf the savages, whom they encountered In several camps. Battle was given by the Indians, with the result that the gallings so depleted the rebel ranks that old Jacobo, their chief, was hunted down with a few hundred braves. Col. Parra united his command lu such a ixisition as to rake the camp, and thus, practically, th*, uprising was crushed. • THIRTEEN DEAD. Awful Calamity Occur* in a Mexican Sflvnr Mine. A terrible disaster has occurred in the Santa Gertrud mine nt Pacbuco. one of the most famous silver mines in Mexico. From ume cause nut known fire broke out in one of the levels of the old south­ ern workings Thursday, shutting off the exit of thirteen Mexican miners. Miners on the outside went to work to try to put out the fire and save the men. An En­ glishman. Ned Richards, an experienced miner, went down in charge of the Rescue operations, but perished from suffocatiou. All the Mexicans died from the same cause or from burning. It b»* been learned from an authoritative source that Secretary Olney and Senor Dupuy de Lome, the Spanish minister, have practically terminated the negotiations on th* Cuban question which are to be sub­ mitted to Cougrms. The Post says:’The terms of- the agreement are based on the recent official communication from Pre­ mier Canters*, addressed to the Secretary of State. The Premier states clearly the terms which Spain wiH accord to the. in­ surgents and practically asks the Unite-! States to propose these conditions to her rebellious gnbject*. In return for our good offices Spain assures this govern­ ment that she sincerely deplores the great commercial loss which we have sustained on account of the Cuban disturbance. She assures us that she Is even now con­ sidering a reciprocity treaty which will deal mainly with Cuban products and which will be framed in such advantage­ ous terms toward this government that our losses, both In commerce and in the destruction of American property In Cuba, will be most generously compen­ sated." _________ HOLD-UP IN MID-AIR. Chicago Robbers Develop a New Phase in Their Industry. Two men armed with revolvers, at 3 o’clock Tuesday, afternoon, held up and robbed Joseph ‘fi. Spanheimcr, in an ele­ vator in the building at the southwest corner of West Monroe and Jefferson, st recta. Chicago. The robbers secured $512 which Spanheimer carried In a satchel, and then, after forcing the ele­ vator boy at the muzzles of their revolvers to lower the cage to the first floor, ran out the door and made their escape. Spanheimer is a clerk In the employ of the Wagner Palace Car Company. For more than a year it has been his custom every Tuesday afternoon to carry from the offices of the car company in • the Woman’s Temple to the office of the Central Steam laundry Company, ta the building where the robbery occurred, the amount of the weekly laundry bills of the car company. The robbers had followed him, and made their attack just when out­ side aid was most remote. BRADLEY Governor Bradley has had several cumpsnie* of the Second Regiment of the State practically under arms for forty­ eight hours, owing to the fear that an at­ tempt would be made to lynch Johnson Howe, the negro held at Paris for the murder of Policeman Charles Lacey at Cynthiana. The Governor is supposed to call ont the militia-only at the request of the sheriff, but there have been *o many lynchings recently and the sheriffs hare bean so Inactive that Governor Bradley prepared to act on bis own re­ sponsibility. Fears Crtaf* In Turkey. A Washington correspondent say* that Secretary Olney Is apprehensive of an early crisis in the situation in Turkey. President Cleveland in bis annual mes­ sage Intimated that the three European powers who arc waiting for the Sultan to accept the program they had outlined and which was formally submitted to the ports by the Russian ambassador some time ago. are getting ready for combined action. The policy of the State Depart­ ment in such an emergency will be one of neutrality, but an American fleet will be on hand subject to the orders of Min­ ister Terrell to guard the Interests of American missionaries. Nothing has been heard from Ambassador Bayard concerningthe prospects of an early move­ ment of European powers to enforce the Sultan’s compliance with their demands, bat the State Department claims to have Information from other reliable sources that action in likely to tie taken at any time and the result, it Is believed, will be a serious war that will sweep away the last vestige of the Sultan’s rule and prob-, ably cause the dissolution of the Turkish Government as a distinct power. The Russian ambasaadgr Saturday, act­ ing in concert with the representatives of Great Britain. France. Italy. Germany and Austria, had an audience of the Sal­ tan. Abdul Hamid, one of many such In­ terviews which have taken place within the last year on the same subject—that of a better administration of the affairs of the Turkish empire. The Russian dip­ lomat began by warning the Sultan and the Turkish Government that If the rev­ enues ceded for the payments of the Turkish debt were touched the European control of the finances of the empire would become inevitable. M. de Nelidoff, the Russian ambassador, further In­ formed the Sultan that the Cxar guaran­ teed his personal safety and engaged him­ self to maintain the Sultan's supremacy in the event of severe measures being necessary Upon the part of the powers. The Snltan, however, remained obdurat. refusing his consent to any measure of control, financial or otherwise, by the powers. To this the Russian ambassa­ dor replied that the condition of the Turkish empire placed the throne and the caliphate In imminent peril Thereupon Abdul Hamid remarked. Impressively: "I mny be the last of the caliphs, but I will never become n second khedive.*’ Kansas County Insolvent. The County Commissioners of Lane County.

National Bank* Ar* Sound. Comptroller of th* Currency Eckels rays he feels no aprehension orer th" bank failures which hare occurred of late. - Mr. Eckels. when asked by a reprrsvntatiru of th* Associated Press tfi» to the general banking situation, said: "Of course. bank failures are more or ie** disquieting, but tho*e which ha^r ^c~ curved have little or no genera I' signifi­ cance attached to them. They were due largely to local causes, wholly uncon­ nected with, the general condition of the banka throughout the -country at large. The case of the Atlas bank was not a failure fit all,-but was a mere voluntary liquidation, every depositor being* paid In full. The two failures Tuesday were of minor importance, in each case the bank’s capital being only $200,000. As against these failures, based on local causes, the general condition of the banks is excel­ lent. The reports received under the last call, that of-Dec. 17. are uniformly favor­ able. and show an average reserve held of considerably above the 25 per.cent, xez quired by the law. One of th* last- re­ ports, that of the Brooklyn banks, shows the average reserve held to be 34.02 per cent., and most of rhe reports run 5 or 10 per cent, above the legal requirements. In each case, too, the assets In detail make an entirely satisfactory showing as com­ pared with the liabilities. On the whole, it is evident that the national banks to­ day are ns stable as they ever were, and the sporadic failure dt "a bank b*r* and there through defects peculiar to th* fall­ ing bank is of small importance, wholly •without significance. I am advised from Minneapolis that the failure there has oc­ casioned no disturbance beyond the insti­ tution concerned." AT M’KINLKY’d DISPOSAL.

Acting Attorney General Conrad, In speaking of the Three Friends case, said that the captain and crew of,any vessel have n perfect right to defend them­ selves If fired on at sea. even If they wenengaged in blockade running. The gen­ eral opinion is that the Three Friend* is merely a blockade-runner *ud that her crew can not be prosecuted on the charga of piracy.

The vessel in this ease is the well-known and alleged filibuster the Dnuutless. But the concession that under these circumstance* she is entitled to clearance papers leaves the situation, as far as she is concerned, quite as in­ volved as before, a* the statutes prescribe that before clearance shall be granted tor any vessel bound to a foreign port, the owner*. shJpjM-rs and consignors shall state under oath the foreign port at which the cargo is to be landed and severe jK-naltles are prescribed for viola­ tions of this requirement, including the confiscation of the vessel.

The operator then goes to the next animal ami repeats the operation. The milk flows from the tent cups through the branch tubes into the main milk con­ ducting pipe and thus into the milk cans. As soon as tbe milk rises in the first can. so that It covers and seals the mouth of the tee-shaped tube, referred to, that projects down Into the can, it will be apparent that tho suction will be arrested for that particular can. nnd hence no more milk will enter It.

He says there are too many bank* in Kansas now for the amount of busigrsa tri exacted, and he is advhing consolidation in every place where it is feasible. “It is simply a question of time whether many of the**-institutions shrill go Into, voluntary liqui­ dation or be forced to suspend.'* said the' Commissioner, “and in order to prevent the latter I have advised a general ccftisolidation all over the State, especially In the smaller towns.” The oversupply of banks came Into existence during booms, and, while capital hns since diminished, there has been no perceptible decrease in the tinmbor of Institutions. The deputy commissioners who hare just returned from a tour of the State, examining ail banks, report that in nearly every town or city the bankers are figuring with each other”on a plan of consolidation in accord­ ance with th* advice of tbe Commis­ sioner. • BtraioeJ GOES.THROUGH THE HOUSE AFTER TWO DAYS' DEBATE.

The fish wai 20 1-2 inches long. 17 inches deep and about four Inches thick. It was beautifully colored, and in Its richness of shades surpasses any other fish which, has yet been found. The top of the head is of brick red, tbe back of a metallic blue, shading to aluminium color on tbe belly. The meri­ dian line Is strongly arched nnd marked by a series of large scales. Pure round white spots are dotted, over tbe whole of tbe “fish. In other respects the fish presents an uncommon api>earance. Its fins are strong spinet? and extend nearly t he whole length of the fish. The spines of tbe dorsal are ten inches in length. The month Is strong and toothless, the lower lip protruding and being of a vermilion color. Its eyes r.re large aud round. No other fish like it has ever been noticed by naturalists.

Dogs of very low instinct have been known to steal and suck eggs, but this Philadel­ phia egg-eating horse is the record. Tbe animal with the perverted appe­ tite belongs to a Grand street saloon keeper named Donovan. A large stable is one of the outbuildings. The chick­ ens that roam about the place have been In the habit of laying from three to four dozen eggs In the haymow. and a few weeks ago this supply was no­ ticed to fall off. A watch was set In vain for the thief, until one day recent­ ly Mr. Donovan, upon entering the stall of a favorite horse, was astonished to find a groat many egg shells lying around In the litter,,and an examina­ tion of a dozen eggs as yet unbroken. Shortly afterward the Intelligent ani­ mal was observed to push the eggs In the trough together In such a manorr that they were broken, and then he aw the uncooked omelette with a mixture of hay, appearing to enjoy the meal very much. The horse Is a pet and has the run of the barmand Donovan found much amusement in watching tbe ani­ mal aa he pok(kl his nose alxiut the haymow hunting for eggs, which he carried, without breaking, in his mouth, to the trough, where he depos­ ited them one by one until he had ac­ cumulated enough for a meat Over 150 kinds of. wood for building purposes are found in Mexico. ^TttH0U5Etflf£ ’‘ODfrHTTojtNOW Don’t broil over a fire nt nli if you can broil under It.

Love in the Scale. “ How much docs the baby weigh ” is only another way of asking. " Is he healthy and strong?” When a baby is welcomed into the world with loving care and forethought, his chances of health and strength are increased a hun­ dred-fold. A prospective mother cannot begin too early to look after her own health and phys­ ical condition. This is sure to be reflected in the baby. Any weakness or nervous de­ pression, or lack of vigor on the mother’s part should be overcome early during the expectant time by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, which promotes the perfect health and strength of the organism specially concerned in motherhood. It makes the coming of baby absolutely safe and comparatively free from pain; rendera tbe mother strong and cheerful, and transmits healthy constitutional vigor to the child. No other medicine in the world has been such an unqualified blessing to mothers and their children. It is the one positive spe­ cific for all weak and diseased conditions of the feminine organism. It is- the only medicine of its kind devised for this one purpose by a trained and educated special­ ist in this particular field. Mrs. F. B Cannings, of No. 4J» Humphrey St.. St. Louis.

In its efforts to enforce revenue laws Ju the last twelve years the gov­ ernment lias had ton officers killed aud fifteen wounded. None was killed last year, but three wore. wounded, which recon! equals that of any one other year of’the twelve. The largest num­ ber ot “moonshine" distilleries—597— was found In Georgia. Ono congres­ sional* district, the Nluth, developed 430. North Carolina was second In the “moonshine" Industry, with 4.13 “blind stills.” Secretary Carlisle’s State, Ken­ tucky. furnished eighty cases of Illicit distilleries. As a rule, the great majority of these Illicit stills are of the most primitive character, aud generally of small ca­ pacity. Nearly every farm among the mountains has a still secreted some­ where, aud should the proprietor 'be called upon to Hurrender his booze nnd go to jail, the usual explanation Is that the moonshine is “for family use only.” There are, however, many large stills scattered all through that rough coun­ try, and once In a wb‘le solnc of these, ft big fellows get caught. The largest moonshine still on record was captured not long ago by DSputy Marshal Thax­ ton, who, with a |m»i*sc, was engaged In making a series of raids all through that suspected region. In this case tbe officials were well prepart'd for an emergency.but had no idea of the warm rreceptlon that awaited them. Guided by nn informer, they trailed Ijhcir way up the mountain side by the light of the moon, nnd a faint glimmer . ai a ravine fnr ahead indicated tbe lotatlon of the stilt As they drew near­ er the tire grew brighter, and a Jolly crowd of men could be seen going about their work and talking among them­ selves. At a signal the posse, with drawn revolvers, made a dash for the spot, aud the ‘’jolly crowd” jumped for their arms. A pitched tattle followed. In which more than one “shiner” was shot down; but after a stublxirn resist­ ance the whole outfit was captured, nutrrhed off to Jail, add their property confiscated. If there Is one thing a moonshiner hates worse than a snake It Is an In­ former. Nothing Is mure detestable to the clan than a spy. amt no mercy Is shown should one fall into their hands. This brotherhood of moonshiners is somewhat similar to the old ku-klux ar­ rangement. for they will nt nnd by each other to the last. The moonshiners really have no grievance against tbe revenue officials, and will randy shoot ■or even injure them, except In self-de­ fense. but nn Informer Is their common enemy, and woo to one of’this elass should he ever Im* found out or even -suspected. Therfr are Individuals In every district looking for this sort of of flogging, but Bnberaou decided the question for himsdf by shooting out hla flat with the force of a battering rain, and the moonshiner with the pis­ tol executed same of the finest gymnas­ tic evolutions ever seen outside of a profeMdonal circus. The other two. threw themselves upon the young mnn, and one of them drew a gun. Roberson grabbed the pistol, when ft was acci­ dentally discharged', and the third moonshiner, who thought the “inform­ er" was shooting nt him, cut loose nnd left his comrade to his fate. Roberson was mon* than a match for the remain­ ing one, and by n scries of grapples threw his antagonist and made him a prisoner. The others had taken to their heels aud with tbe man’s own pistol, Roberson marched the fellow to town and turned him over to the authorities.' The name "moonshiner” comes from the fact that the dlatllationa arc gener­ ally carried out at night, and often by. the light of the moon. The spirits are sometimes called “blockade.” for the reason that those who srtl it have to run the blockade in order to get the stuff to a purchaser. No one would suspect the Innocent-looking load of cotton roll­ ing along the road of containing moon­ shine hidden somewhere down among those flaky bales; but a load of pota­ toes may be equally as guilty, and wagons full of corn, cotton seed, hay, or any other kind of produce or grain, all lend a hand to aid-the moonshiner in getting bis goods to market. The finest article Is manufactured from pure corn, nnd It la intended prin­ cipally for smuggling; but ■ only* the larger stills engage In tbe export busi­ ness. The smaller affairs nre run In a different way. The very small ones are really “for family use only;’’ the product being Intended wholly for, . TVI’JCAL MOO.XSHIXE STILL. home consumption. Except tbe larger ones, most of the stills an* run on the co-operative plan. That Is: You bring so much grain to my mill aud I will re­ turn you so much grist. He Gave the Wrong Name. I was In the habit of wearing my hair somewhat long, after the style of a Clr-‘ casslan beauty. Entering the restnu-: rant. I removed my hat. nnd. through habit, ran my fingers through my hair to keep it off my brow. Having seated myself and given my order, 1 curiously, glanced about the room in search of a, familiar face, when I observed a patron on the other side of the house convers­ ing laughingly with a waiter, with their eyes-fixed ou me. It seemed they were greatly amused about something, nnd that I was the cause of tiielri amusement. Being somewhat annoyed. I motioned the waiter to my sidg and asked the cause of their joy fulness. “Well, sir,” replied the waiter, “that gentleman over there wanted me to ask you If your name was Pad----- “ AsxumlngAnytuost ferocious look. I glared at the |»en»ou who bad sent the message, nnd said quite loudly: ; "You go back nnd toll thnt follow that my name Is not Paddy Whisky or Pad­ dy Brandy, but it’s Paddy Rynu, the cx-puglllst, nnd that I’ll see him after I have finished my luncheon.” I thought that would knock him silly, but It didn’t: for he replied back, much louder than ! had spoken: • You’re a blank liar. I am Paddy Ryan, the ex-pnglllst, and I’ll see you before you finish your grub.” But he didn’t; for 1 escaped from that restaurant before he bad a chance to get up from, his table.—San Francisco Ware. NELSON A. MILES, in II recent report to tbe War Department, adduceil reasons in support of hh contention that the army of the United GENERAL States should nt once lx* increased that pntH wars iu the Category of comets nnd other things that return nt regular intervals. General Mlles seems to think thnt we arc bound to have n war just •*» often, nnd that a fully developed war is due here al>out thia time, or in the immediate future. And the Now York Journa! diarovers the strange fact that not only the history of the United*States, but of al­ most every other country, proves thnt General Mlles Is right. No nation ever en­ joyed continuous and uninterrupted pence. As you turn back the pages of history you find a war occnrrln# just nbout so many timos during every century in every country on the globe. There Is no exception, to this rule. No country has over passed through a century of existence without n wnr. As n matter of fact, the wars average about three for each century Iu every country, and jometimes, as you examine history, you will find an extra war or two thrown in for goixl measure. Framv has been particularly lucky in this resjH*ct. having had gnough wars on hnnd during tbe time of Napoleon to keep her general average above that of every other country, even had continuous peace succeeded Waterloo. The United States, too. makes a good showing in the wnr category. For the mimlier of years this country has been in existence we have done almost enough fighting to have acquired the wnr habit, which sometimes afflicts nations just as the liquor habit afflicts men. The statistics of wars show that they are* always.succeeded by peace. These peri­ ods of Kace^aa bjs’ory sbowjjjtverc.g!::^ a little more than a qnnrter of a century in duration, and it Is now well to remetno.-r thatmver thirty-one years have passed since the last great wnr in this country closed. Within the past hundred years this nation, on the whole, has been peculiarly for­ tunate in.the matter of warfare with foreign powers, the international struggles outnumbering the others, nnd these, with the exception of the e)vil war of ISlil. I>eIng comparatively Insignificant. Thirty-six years elapsed between, the revolution and the 1812 war. nnd thirty-four years.between the latter nml the war with Mexi­ co. The war ngninst the Barbary States in 1803 was a small affair, and canhardly be dignified by classing it among international wars. Fifty years have elapsed since the Mexican wnr. nnd nearly thirty-two years since the close of the civil war. The Mormon struggle of 183G was brief.-nnd the various Indian wars, while fero­ cious, were nf short duration. Within the past century England has had more wars than any other nation, the bulk of them bring due tn the British thirst, for conquest nnd territorial aggrandizement. Russia hns had pence since the Turco-Russian wnr of 1873. France and Germany Mince th** Frnneo-I’russlnn war of 1870. Austria since the Itnlinu war in 1801. the Unit«d States since 1803, and England since the Afghan and Zulu wars of 1878-79, cxeejiliug the pre sent Soudan campaign nnd her other Egyptian quarrels. ' Thus, -with the variation of a few years, all of these nations hnvo had peace for about a generation. During the last hMf century peace societies in this country and abroad have been formed with the object of forever preventing war. ' MERRY-GO-ROUND WITH SAILS. Scheme of a Gcuiua of the Mediter­ ranean to Get Fun Without Work. A graceful contrivance has‘been per­ fected In a city on tbe Mediterranean coast—a sailing inerry-go-n»und. The basic principle Is n very simple. one-a strong beam pivoted centrally and fitted at each end with miniature sloop rigging. 1. e., mainsail anil Jib.

The device may Im* lined with auto­ matic brakes, to revolve gently, for baby's or grandma's accommodation; or It may be so loaded with sails that It will revolve with amazing rapidity. That this Eyaian. clutnn may operate most satisfactorily, friction at the piv­ oted point must bo reduced to a mini­ mum. and to insure this the two arms and the weight carried by each should be balanced to a nicety. This can be accomplished in two 'ways—either by providing n special shifting weight or by making the seats for the riders mov­ able.

Not long ago. near Waro^Ga.. (i young man of excellent character was am­ bushed by three desperate moonshiners, who spotted him as an Informer, nnd it might hare gone bard with him had it not been for his rare pluck and rare work with bls muscle. Young KoImt•na is a rustic athlete, who wns written down in the catalogue of the moon­ shiners as a spy. nnd a plot was laid to make away with him on tbe quiet. The opportunity came one midnight, when Roberson was riding borne from n visit to a rfeighbor. In a very dark part of the woods the “shiners” wafted for their victim, and pretty soon be was •ren coming up the road, mounted oh a mule. Aa he arrived opposite the place of THE LATEST the booms arc not made fast, but so that they may shift, or be shifted, as In tacking. In Europe tbe youthful riders delight in “handling the ropes” of these mills, nnd after n Htfle practice the juvenile aerial yachtsmen easily aud nt will arrest the flight of the merry-go-round simply by dexterous manipulation of the lines. This is not necessary, how­ ever. If the end of the boom Is made fast so as to have a little play, the sails will automatically take tne right posi­ tion to the wind with every half-revolu­ tion. Is so much shorter than Alpha that the Intter can “sight” the gun over the cars of his companion. The distance fired Is over30 feet, nnd Alpha almost Invar­ iably scores the bull's eye. Alpha can nlso work out simple sums In arithme­ tic. The horse Is good-natured and tractable, nnd there appears to be no doubt that he understands what he lj doing, nnd rather enjoys It. A Gift Within the Reach of All. The tire started early Sunday morn­ ing. when few jH*ople were on the streets. It gained good headway l»efore It was oven discovered. When the engines arrived. It was too late to save property.' and seemed equally so to res­ cue life. A crowd waited, breathlessly, while the firemen dashed In again and again, seeking the terrified and ‘helpless people who found no way of escape. At length, just ns tin* spectators assured each other that all was safe, a woman appeared at nn tqiper window. Hors was the direst peril yet fared. One of the firemen ran up his ladder, but, brave ns be was, the flames drove Sheet Zinc. A seeming anomaly Is found iu the fact that in the United States “tin­ plate" is the favorite roofing, the use of sheet zine for roofing being almost unknown; and yet In England, the home of the tinplate Industry, and in all parts of Europe zinc Is now tbe most favored inat. i ial. A roof of good tin. properly laid and painted thoroughly at least once In every three years, will last from twenty to thirty yeara; the life of a slate roof may l»c from thirty to fifty years, while the life of a zinc roof may lx* eat hunted from the fact that the first zinc roof over put up. in 1811, ex­ ists to-day In good condition.

This Intelligent animal has n compSn'ou named Beta, who Is much smaller. Between the two of them they seein to comprehend about tbe Highest lutelllgenre that is to be found li: the animal kingdom. The two animals appoar upon tbe stage of the Aquarium, In London, with bells tied to their fet­ locks and without the n^istanec of a prompter or any other adventitious aid. they play ‘•Home, Hweet Home.” Much more surprising than this, how­ ever, is the performance of Alpha in drawing n portrait. A coarse pencil is graced in the teeth of the anlmr.l, dud Mr. Shaw, who exhlblfit him. bolds ;l drawing board just under bls mouth. Slowly and carefully Alptai proceeds to draw the portrait of Mr. Gladstone. The big noile, the’ high collar, nnd the sunken mouth of the great English statesman are carefully penned tin horse, and he ecn be seen to scnit'nlze the lines ns he » “ctri?’’* ?ar, tbe hair, the coat collar end oven the shad­ ing under the eye are al! carefully put 1n by this cnnlue nrtlst. , The likeness is Uumtatnknhfe wb-n thjj nsfi picture of Mr. Gladstone Is completed. A more difficult trick Is then perform­ ed by Alpha, assisted by Beta, his lit­ tle companion. A target Is set up at one end of the stage, nnd Beta comes out With a gun strapped to her back. Beta him back. Some groaned,, others wept, as he retreated. One man saw a way to help, "Cheer him!” he cried. The crowd cheered. The Jiremau took heart again. It was easier to dare the danger, now he knew that othens sympathized. He made a swond effort, nnd, though It left him sorely wounded, he saved the life. A Scotch writer sketches a noble charncter ant! a helpful life In a single phrase, when he telta us that iris hero belonged to "the grout society ot en­ courages who make the wheels of the world go sound.” for it Is not jxissible to all to raise the cheer that Inspires the brave deed done In rhe eyes of men: l>iU an appreciative word that athnnlates unselfish effort—that is the gift of all. Who shall say that in the final account it may not show the greater result? , One of the best household remedies for brul»es. where the skin has not lu?cn broken, is arnica and sweet oil. Tbe l>est way to treat headaches is tn avoid them. To refuse to overtax the eyes, rhe nerves or tbe Ktomncb. nnd t-» give attention to exercise arid bathing.

Horrible in the extreme is the condi­ tion of some 90,600.000 people in India, who are now passing through the stages of a famine that may prove to bo the most appalling in history. Not in all part* of India I* tlure famine nor danger of famine; but in a region 1,000 mile* long and 500 mile* wide the jteople are face to face with gtarvation and death. Ordiiiarily there are millions of people in India who from the cradle to the grave must be content with one meal n dny. and thnt chiefly of grain; there arc other mil­ lions who can indulge in the luxury of two daily meals, and there are many more—the very |x>or—who habitually sub­ sist on wild flower*, plants nnd other vegetatio* of apontnneons growth. At best, therefore, a large number of people live on the threshold of want. Should tbe grain crop fail, those who usually partake of two tncnl* a day nre forced to be con­ tent with one. or less, aud the number of those who nre forced to a diet of flow­ ers Sind weeds, with inevitable disease ps a consequence, increase*. Such is the condition this year. The grain crop has failed and famine aud pestilence stalk over the land. In the afflicted region the people nre perishing at the rate of 12.006 a month, and this number may soon be doublet! and quadrupled, for a* fieoplo grow weak­ er from lack of food they will perish more rapidly.

Judge Mc­ Hugh Is a native of Galena, In Jo Da­ viess County, Illinois, where he was born In 1859. He picked up a little learning In the common schools of Ga­ lena, which he left before he passed itho grammar grade. For six months he worked in a store as a clerk. Then be apprenticed himself to a shoemaker. At tl>e end of three years he was re­ leased, and he worked for a long time at his trade.

It Phil Armour, of Chicago, is not afraid of a big thing, and be Is-ready to fight to hold his own. An Instance of this, writes Frank G. Carpenter, occurred In the spring of last year. For some time tfaejfraln brokers In Chicago had hoped to be able to down Armour. They had tried It a number of times and failed. At last 11 was discovered that he bad bought 3,000,000 bushels of wheat to be delivered In May. The market was In such state that he had to take It. The Chicago elevators were full, and the brokers laughed In their sleeves when they thought of Armour having all that wheat dumped down upon him and no place to put It. They expected he would have to sell It, that they could buy It at their own prices, and that he would lose a fortune by It This was.the situation about the 1st of April On that day. Mr. Armour 1 called In his architect and builder. Said he: "I must have within thirty^ days elevators built large enough to store 3.000,000 bushels of wheat." "It can’t be done," said the architect. "It must be done,” replied Mr. Ar­ mour. "It Is a physical Impossibility,” was the reply. "Wo might do It tn a year. We can’t do it In a month.’ * "I tell you it must be done.” was Ar­ mour’s reply. "Call in some of the other men." At this, others of the employes con­ nected with building matters were ad­ mitted. They all joined In with the ar­ chitect and pronounced the putting up of the structure in that time- an Im­ possibility. Mr. Armour listened to them, but his iron jaws at the close came together more firmly than ever, and he said: "I tell you It must be done, and It will l>e done!” He then gave his orders. He l>ought a little Island, known as Goose Neck Island, In the mouth of the Chi­ cago RJrer, on which to build the ele­ vators. Ho had advertisements posted over Chicago that any mhn who could handle a pick or drive a nail could find work by calling at P. D. Armour’s stock yards.

Tommy Horton is one of San Fran­ cisco’s freaks. Though 23 years old he has the faculties nnd physical appear­ ance of a boy early in his teens. He Is by no means half-witted, for he has all the wits of a boy of 16. But at 3 his mind naturally should have developed. Until three weeks ago he has spent all of his time at home, but now be has a situation as errand-boy fqr a dealer In microscopical supplies. This work lias taken him to scientists nnd through t*iem his condition became public. Tommy, though born healthy, had early in life all the Infantile diseases. Besides, he had stricture of the stom­ ach, as a result of which his digestive apparatus- went on a strike, nnd has remained out of work ever since. Then he was ruptured, and afterward had a s^-ere attack of asthma. Never in bis life has he eaten a bit of soJd food, nnd, for a Hine. It was only with the greatest-, difficulty that his stomach could retain even milk and water. He takes broths nnd baby foods, and sometimes goes for days without an ounce of nourishment. Consequently, for lack of phosphates, his brain hasn’t developed. He is left In a lamentable condition of naive honesty. His skin is ns smooth and Innocen^Rf hair as that of a baby.— New York Press.

We shobt it while we smoke cigars three for a quarter; we think It while we comfortably stretch our legs on Brussels carpet before a blaring grate with well dressed suns and expensively clad daughters around us:and while re­ clining ou steamer chairs enjoying the ocean’s breezes. We shout hard times to our neighbors across our smooth lawns or through oar plate glass win­ dows. We groan as we’read our morn­ ing and evening papers, our pentlful magazines aud our costly libraries. We dream of it In our soft and springy beds while our coal fed furnace keeps the whole house warm. We maunder about it In tur well equipped offices, shoot ft through our telephones and ring the changes on It as we take our stylish summer outings or run “cen­ turies” on 1100 bicycles. We meet it In our political, literary, social and business con yen lions aud clubs, and sigh over It while the country is spend­ ing fortunes with railroads, sports, hotels,restaurants, theaters aud balls. “Hard times,” bewails the Jewcl-flngured wife as she elbows her way along the bargain counters. “Hard times,” moans the clean shaven busband as a press of the button sheds the electric light over bls “at home” friends, and yet we do not know what hard times are; we think we do, but we do not. The writer is reminded "of one ot “Papa’s remembrances,” when, in one of the richest parts of one of these states, the whole town of some two thousand Inhabitants posessed alto­ gether not over $500 in money;,all “ex­ change” was by barter. Among the best and richest families (and there were many who thought themselves well-to-do) beefsteak was once a-weck visitor, round beef was a luxury, oysters an unheard ot dainty; corn bread was the usual. The cheap pipe tobacco was a dissipation; cold bedrooms, scant wood fires, calico then what silks are today, 6x8 window ‘panes were helped out by hats, rags and old papers; a weekly paper was an extrav­ agance, and served two families: in­ grains scarce and brussels a tradition; beds were slatted or corded, and the sole vacation was a ride (not over asphalt pavement) to-the annual pic­ nic in the one-horse shay. The men worked from 5 a. iu. to 7 p. in. (the aristocrats shortened the time by two hours), and the women worked at all hours. Do any of our readers recall those day a? j Yet it is doubtful if there was ever in those times such a univer­ sal feeling of unrest and discontent, such a concert of growling—as to-day. Is It fair? Are we grateful? Can we afford to waste time in bewailing the slowness (?) of prosperity when fate is so easy with us? Let us put aside these ugly tempersof ours, smile at the shadow. “AU sunshine makes The desert." Look towards the sun, drink in its beauties; talk and think business confidence. Let us shut onr eyes to trouble, shed light on our af­ fairs, advertise, and times will seem (as they are) good. “What you de­ ten ted mand, sir, is here. The cun contented mind serves it to all." An exchange has the following which can be echoed by all the- news­ paper men in the land. One delin­ quent said “he would pay Saturday if he lived.” He's dead. Another said “I’ll see you to morrow.” He is blind. Another said, “I hope I may go to the devil if 1 don’t pay you* this week.” He’s gone to his reward.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL. John Henry, a constable, of Green­ ville, was at Sunfield Tuesday armed with a warrant for the arrest of one William Davis, on a charge of sheep stealing- Davis l»ecame enraged and fired several shots at the constable, one taking effect in bls arm. A re­ ward of fifty dollars was immediately offered for his arrest and ten armed men are searching for him. A boy can sit-on a sled six inches square, tied to a sleigh going eight mllei, an hour, who couldn’t sit still on a sofa five minutes for a dollar. A man will sit on an inch edge of a board for three hours and talk politics but put him in a church pew forty minutes and he gets nervous, twists, turns and goes to sleep. A man will fill his mouth with tobacco until the juice runs down his chin, but a hair in the butter kills him.

It is a shame to treat dumb animals thus. A gang of clever swindlers are oper­ ating in this vicinity, robbing widows and orphans by what, to all appear­ ances, is a very crude insurance swin­ dle. By watching the death notices in the county papers they are made aware of the demise of men of fam­ ilies and within a few days they send notices to the widow or children of the deceased to the effect that there is a certain sum due on the life insur­ ance policy held upon the life of the departed one that must be paid bt> fore S settlement of the insurance-can be made. The premiums due, as stat­ ed In these notices, vary in amounts, but are seldom less than $10. The 5,000 mile tickets, which have been the subject of so much contro­ versy and legislation, do not suit the commercial men.nowthat they are issued. There are so many restric­ tions apd specifications connected with It that few commercial men are willing to pay the required $100 and bo subject to all the penalties and danger of forfeiture whlcKls made a part of the contract. Traveling men wish to know when they pay 8100 for a 5,000 mile ticket that they are go’ng to be allowed to use it until they get what they pay fur. This new-v&ickeit is worse if possible than the advertis­ ing 1,000 mile books sold to editors. To be a success nowadays you must owg a horn and toot it continually.

SEE THAT THE Those who grow clover should never fail to use Time or wood ashes. Lime is cheap, and there Is no excuse for omitting it. Where wood ashes are difficult to obtain It is better to pro­ cure the potash salts. An advantage Inr wood ashes Is that they contain both lime and potash, the lime being in an excellent form fur application to the soil. Ashes contain phosphoric acid also, as phosphate. The clover will provide the soil with nitrogen, hence clover and wood ashes will make any soil fertile if clover can be made to grow upon it. The use of ashes must depend upon their cost, however, but Hine can be easily and cheaply obtained at all times.

John Hake, a motorman tn the em­ ploy of the Consolidated Street Rail­ way Company, of Grand Rapids, metahonible death Saturday even­ ing, while in the performance of bis duty. A common flat car heavily laden with coal aud a trolley running ata high rate of speed met on the same track. Each was going down grade and the collision was tremendous The switching motor of the Street $ailway bad hauled a flat car, heavily loaded with coal for the Michigan sol­ dier’s home, over the North Park ‘line from the Detroit, Grand Haven & Mil­ waukee crossing to the home. The motor was in charge of R. M. Crosby, motorman, S. S. Sliter, conductor and Ed. Clark, switchman. The men had performed the same service many times before aud did not vary from their custom Saturday. Conductor Sliter and switchman Clark bad climbed upon the coal car to set the brakesand they remained with it while the motor took the spur line to couple on some "empties.” Under the force of the brakes that they ap­ plied and because the track is up-grade at that point the coal car came to a stop. Then it began slowly to move in the opposite direction, down the grade up which it had come. The men made every effort to stop the car but it was heavy and the brakes were poor. When Sliter and Clark saw they could not stop the car they became very much alarmed, far they knew a car was-ncarly due on that track. So Clark Jumped from the car and ran ahead of it to warn the trolly car, which they supposed to be approach­ ing. He did not have time to get very far before the car came. It was in charge of conductor Frank McKelvey and motorman John -Hake, and con­ tained three passengers, two veterans from the soldier's home and a wom­ an. The crash was terrific as the two masses met juft in the margin of the woods. The noise was heard above the storm at the home and men came hur­ rying to the scene to learn the cause. But It was all over before help could arrive. The cars were piled up to­ gether in a mass'of splinters and from the midst of the debris came cries of distress. It di<l not take long to summon am­ ple help, and the first work was in be­ half of the Injured. The motorman, John Hake, was found In a terrible condition. He was not conscious but bis mouth was (^ving out agonizing sounds. A large splinter had entered hla body at the throat and had forced Its passage downward into his thorax. His head was bruised, and cut with pieces of glass, and his body was marked with greater or less wounds in almos’ even* part. He was taken at once to the soldier’s home hospital and given every care. The accident bad taken place at 5.25 and be lived more than an hour afterwards. At 6.42 he ceased to breathe, never hav­ ing gained consciousness. The dead motorman lived at “ Barth street, jusloff Wealthy avenue, with his wife and two children. Mrs. Hake was notified sonn after the acci­ dent and was nearly prostrated by the sad news, although It was broken to lier as gently as possible. Mr. Hake has been in the service of the company about seven years, having driven a horse car before the ' adoption of the trolley system. He was considered a valuable employee and also popular amo .g his companions. He was a son-in-law of John Litzau, living a few miles north of this vil­ lage, who was summoned to Grand Rapids Monday by telegram to attend the funeral, which was held on Tues­ day. ’ ___ Get your (roller) skates on.

Good Speaking of cities and city govern­ ments, the councils in several Michi­ gan cities are following the plan re­ cently carried out in Chicago and are talking of passing ordinances prohib­ iting the wearing of hats by ladles at places of amusement, such as theaters and concerts. While they are about it, why not Include wearing hats In churches as well. Every one knows how disagreeable It is to listen to a good sermon without being able to see the minister. .There is an inspiration to be gained from watching the face of.an earnest speaker, but in church this is often denied a large part of the audience on account of the lasge hats worn by many ladles.

John Wflliains. day watchman in the big factory building of Greenlee Bros. & Col. 225 to 235 West 12th street. Chicago, found two pipes frown Sunday morning in a small room nt the rear of the first floor. Late in the afternoon he and-hte assist­ ant, the day fireman, started to thaw out the pipes. . They probably succeeded >n doing so. but tb? fire that followed their efforts laid the entire block In ruins. The fine started shortly after " o’clock in the room the two men had left an hour or so before, -and between the slippery streets and the frozen fire hydrants in the neigh­ borhood the fire department was so de­ layed in getting water on the blaze that the flames spread through the five floors of the building, and by 10 o’clock had completely gutted the structure. A loss of between $300,000 and $400,000 was sustained by the Greenlee Bros. Company and the Northwestern Stove Repair Works, two concerns owned by Robert L. and Ralph S. Greenlee. David B. Carse, general manager of the Greenlee Bros. Company, thought that the amount of insurance carried would cover, the loss. The residence-of Charles J. Barnes, 2238 C&urnet avenue, Chicago, was totally de­ stroyed by tire at 2 o’clock Monday morn­ ing. His private library, one of the finest in the United States, and collection of hric-n-brac, on which a high value is set, were destroyed, and with the damage to the building and furnishings will make the loss fully $200,000. BUSINESS INCREASING. Prices, However, Are Lower Where Any Cliangc I* Made. R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: “There is more business, though not at better prices It is inter­ esting that almost all prices which change at -all are lower, and yet business is un­ questionably larger. There is larger pro­ duction, but ns yet not as much increase in consumption, and there is larger buy­ ing of materials, but at present only be­ cause better prices are expected in the future. A few conspicuous failures have had no material influence. The market for securities is slightly stronger, and yet there-is very little doing.- The number -of hands employed, ail imlttetrlPn consid­ ered, is slightly larger than n week ago. without adverse change in the rate of wages. AH nj>prchenrion of foreign dis­ turbances of money markets has passed away, but there is still great caution in making loans. It is a mistake to reckon these as symptoms of depression. On the contrary, in spite of the lower range of prices in important industries, the condi­ tions all indicate larger production and a consumption increasing, not as yet largely., but steadily.” WIDESPREAD COLD. Low Temperature Experienced in Al­ most ■ vetpr Section. By Monday morning the severe cold wave extended ns far east as the Ohio Valley and southward to Texas, where the temj>erature fell from twenty to forty degrees in twenty-four hours. It was below freezing in Tennessee and Cen­ tral Texas: Mow zero in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, and 20 degrees lielow zero over the Dakotas and Minne­ sota. The indications Were that the. cold ware would extend eastward and south­ ward over the Atlantic aud Gulf coasts. Tbe temperature fell to near zero from Virginia northward, and freezing weath­ er extended southward to the Gulf and South Atlantic' coast*. In twenty-five year* Chicago had experienced no such severe cold. Sunday morning the mer­ cury was 17 below zero, and in the whole day there was* variation of but 4 degrees. Monday morning the temperature was 19 below zero. The suffering in the city was indescribably terrible. Two Negroes Lynched. At Jeffersonville.

They .cvtnpelkd every woman who was present at the first night of Sousa’s “El Capitan" to sit bareheaded through the perform­ ance—ail but those in the boxes and one woman in the parquet, who, in spite of the yells.and catcalls that came down at her from the balcony and gallery, kept her wide-brimmed -headgear cn all through the opera. The.noisy demonstra­ tion began before the curtain went up for the first act. and continued till after the opera had bcgOn, drowning out the music and for a few minutes threatening to break up the performance altogether. No­ body knows who started the demonstra­ tion. From the suddenness of the out­ burst It might hare suggested itsidf to a hundred persons at the same instant. vlt began with yells of “Hats off," that were interspersed with hisses and groans as some of the women showed a disposition not to obey. Whan the hisses came the hats in the parquet nnd dress circle went off as if they had been caught by a gale from behind. Every woman who entered the theater with her bat on made a ner­ vous grab nt the hat pins ns soon as she divined the import of the demonstration. Never did hats come off so quickly from feminine bends ns they did for the five minutes before the performance began. Women came down the aisle with hair disordered from the quick withdrawal of hat pins, and with faces more red than the plush upholstery of the seats. CABLE TO HONOLULU SENATE AND HOUSE.

The House- *»ent the day debating the YortTucker aniitestcd-election caw from tbe Tenth Virginia Dtetrlct, but do action was taken.’ The conference report on the army appropriation bill was agreed to. After a two days’ debate, in the course of which considerable partisan passion was nrouocd nnd an Ineffectual attempt tundr to filibuster for the purpose of gain­ ing time, the House Thursday decided the contested .election case of Yost vs. Tucker from the Tenth Virginia district by denying tbe seat to Mr. Yost amt confirming Mr. Tucker’s title thereto. The Republicans were badly divided, fifty four of them joining with the Democrats and supporting the claims o‘f the Demo­ cratic con tester. In tbe Senate Mr. Mor­ gan. in charge of tbe Nicaragua canal bill, was determined to secure a time for a final vote. .This was resisted by Mr. Turple and Mr. Vites. Mr. Morgan an­ nounced that he would ask tbe Senate to “sit out" the bill until a vote was forced. Mr. Vilas finally made a dilatory motion, which, on roll call, disclosed the absence of a quorum. Mr. Turpie concluded hi* speech against the Nicaragua canal bill. Daring the day Mr. Chandler presented the credentials of John Edward Addicks. claiming the vacant sent as Senator from Delaware. The claim of Henry A. Du­ pont for the same seat ha* already been presented. Mr. Hill of New York spoke ngaitxst trusts and monopole* in general ns a serious menace to.the public welfare. The session of the Senate Friday de-. veloped three distinct sensations. Among these wna the presentation by Mr. Sher­ man of a letter from Minister Rodrcguez_ the representative of the Greater Repub­ lic of Central America (including Nicara­ gua). in effect protesting against tne exe­ cution of the Nicaraguan canal project by the Unite*! States under the conces­ sion granted in 1887 to the Nicaraguan Canal Company. As tho bill for this pur­ pose was about to be voted on by the Sen­ ate. the- appearance of the letter created consternation among its friend*. Mr. Morgan, it* chief supporter, at once de­ clared that the letter was inspired by Great Britain, who sought to drive the United States from the isthmus by using the Centra! Americas as a entspaw. He asserted that Minister Rodrcguez had come here to execute such n plan, and that it was an open threat against Amer­ ican control of the canak The'debate was very earnest and the letter made a profound impression on the Senators. Sen­ ator Vilas declared that It struck a death blow to the canal project propose*! by the pending bill. Earlier in the Any the Sen­ ate unexpectedly found itself discussing tin- new Anglo-American treaty. The ex­ pressions were free and*full from Messrs. Sherman. Gray, Cullom. I^xlge. Hoar and others. The statements of these Senators were uniformly favorable to the high principle of the treaty. Shortly after tbe session began Mr. Turpie caused a prelim­ inary flurry by criticising the repom-d agreement between Mr. Olney nnd Mr. Sherman, by which no action was to be taken as to Cuba before March 4. Mr. Sherman ctnplintically denied that any such agreement had been made. Those three incidents relating to current for­ eign questions made the day’s session out of the most eventful of the session. Fri­ day was private bill dny in the House, am! most of the time was consumrd with small bills. The House adjourned until Mon­ day. The Senate confined itself strictly t» business Saturday, passing a large nniuber of bills, including those for a statue of President Lincoln at Gettysburg.

He went toCarrolton the other day and while there he traded an old debt for a good hone, and started out for Boston in his new buggy, leading his new horse. When he was nearing tbe Little Lallapoosa River bridge at Klngsberry’s mill be suddenly heard a roaring among the trees, which he instantly supposed to be a storm. Looking up the hill he saw tbe forest in commo­ tion and tbe trees falling and bending towards him,and in tbe mid&t of it a huge body, which proved to be a snake. Tbe doctor put whip to his horse and was soon on the fridge. Feeling tbe buggy Jerk he looked back and saw the snake swallow the horse he was leading and plunge into the river, just above tbe bridge, and just as the snake poked bls head out on the other bank of tbe stream, his tail was on the other side of" the hill, his body reaching clear across the liter. The horse having on new shoes, kicked through the body of the snake, tbe snake stopped and the stream was dammed, the water rose and floated the snake to a level with the bridge. The doctor jumped out, took a large knife and cutting the hole larger where the horse's feet were sticking out of tbe snake's body, tbe horse flounced out and mounted the bridge. The doctor secured him to his buggy and drove on, but by this time, tbe water bad backed till the horse had to swim, but they made their escape." We would neyer have dreamed that Del.

His nose, feet, breast and tip of bls tall are pure white, while the remainder of bis body is coal black. The collection also comprises very good specimens of the white owl, horned owl, prairie chicken, speckled Hamburg hen, king tisher, sparrow hawk, brown thrush, cuckoo, sea gull, loon, bltfe Jay, gray eagle, cormorant and several beautiful butterflies.

No woman can be cheerful or hopeful who is dragged down by continual pain and physical wretch­ edness. The special weaknesses peculiar to the feminine organism are comparatively easy to overcome if the earlier symptom* are given proper attention. But if allowed to go unchecked, they are liable to develop into serious, chronic complications. Any woman afflicted with these delicate ailments ought to have the immediate aid of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is a perfect and unfailing specific for all dis­ eases of the feminine organs. It was de­ vised for this one purpose, and accomp­ lishes this purpose as no other medicine has ever done. For nearly jo years Dr. Pierce has been chief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y., where in conjunction with his staff of associate specialists, he has successfully treated many thousand cases of "female complaint." No physician living has had a more ex­ tended opportunity lo study this class of diseases in actual practice.

Then caifiC the desire to see what we really could do. It seemed to me tin If I would almost burst. I saw that ev­ ery condition was favotable to a won­ derful run, and I had a good excuse for JL for we were a little behind time. "A little more pressure aud the en­ gine jumped forward as If It were alive. The rush of wind outside the cab was so like a gale that I felt we must be in a storm. One hundred ami -five. six. seven, eight, then nine and ten mi!$s! I began to wonder what on -earth we wore going to do, whether xve ever would find a limit, and I was sc Intoxicated with the success that we had achieved that I made up my mind to do all that was possible. "At last there came a moment when I knew we were doing all that we could, and I can’t tell you how sorry It made me feel to find that limit We were running at the rate of 112 miles an hour, and my heart sank when, after five miles, we had to stow down to the hundred rate.

That is how it feels to ride at tbe rate •of 112 miles an hour.” Tbe run of the Empire State express from New York to Albany is one sf the best known and most trying runs out of New York city. This is the star train of the New York Central. .Noth­ ing must be permitted to interfere with its progress. It must be on time. All these things the engineer has to face when he pulls the throttle at 42d street, and the run toward the Harlem river begins. He knows he must make from 43 to 65 miles as hour, and that acci­ dent Is to tie avoided under any and all circumstances. William Marley makes this run three times one week and four "On the run ilka the one I hare all « man can do is to watch his engine and go ahead on time. When a man is In the cab of his engine tie has eyes for only one thing, and that is ix»#sib|e danger. There is a sense of responslJHliiy felt by locomotive engineer* un­ crank engine and a first-class engineer make as bat! a combination as a good engine and a poor ..driver. There are crank engines just the same as there are cranky men,_and sometimes they cause a deal more tPOqble. If neces­ sary, we can lock a cranky human be­ ing up, but a cranky engine is the bane ot a railroad man’s life. It Is uo exag­ geration to say that art engineer be­ comes acquainted with an engine just as a man becomes accustomed to a horse. Some men can drive an engine much faster than others. That is ow­ ing, in some instahces. to the fact that the man has not nerve enough to ‘crowd her.’ Sometimes It is also due to the fact that he does not know the good points of tho machine he Is han­ dling.” The engineer wh? runs what Is called tbe night express from Jersey City to Philadelphia travels over as good a piece of track as there Is anywhere. He runs one of what nre called tbe "swell" trains on tho Pennsylvania sys­ tem. nnd his responsibility Is very great Indeed. Edward Simpson Is the name of the man who holds the throttle of the engine that pulls this train, nnd he is an old-timer. "1 always fee) a m.*nse of freedom and exhilaration. ” he said, "when going at full speed over the line, and I am perfectly happy when in the cab. When I am on a run 1 have only two thoughts. One is to keep on schedule time and tbe other to keep an eye out for signals. Au engin­ eer who does not constantly keep a lookout for danger is not fit for h!s posi­ tion. nnd the same statement applies to a man who loses bls nerve." Cotton Production. The Charleston News and Courier Inis made a calculation which shows that the Rtate of South Carolina raises D'ore cotton to the square mile than any State in tbe country. The produc­ tion in that State is put nt 25 bn las to the square mile; In Georgia the produc­ tion is 18 bales; in Mississippi, 21 2-3 bales; in Alabama, 12 3-5 bales; in Louisiana, 10% bales, and In Texas, 7 1-6 bales. Tbe uble shows nothing of considerable importance, probably, says the Savannah News, except that South Carolina is devoting more atten­ tion to cotton than she ought to, and that if Texas raised as much cotton to the square mile as South (’arollnn doe*, her crop would be nearly 7,000,000 bales X>r.

He la a seasoned states­ man and understands tbe needs of bls country thoroughly. The President ot the Swiss Is elected yearly by the Con­ gress of the nation-thus giving more plasticity to the executive department In point of ability and worthiness than Is given in most republics. Dr. Deucher is a native of Stwkborn, in Thurgau, and was born tn 1831. He went abroad for his studies, and Heidelberg turned him out an M. D. He finished fata med­ ical studios at Zurich. Prague, aud Vienna. The Doctor has been actively engaged in- the politics of Switzerland ever since his youth. He was chosen a member of the canton council In 1868. and in 1879 was sent to the prefecture of the council. From 1869 to 1873 he was German member of the-national Council. He then retired from public Ufe and devoted himself to his profes­ sion till 1879, when he was re-elected to the council. He was president of the council from 1882 until 11:93. Ten years ago Dr. Deucher was elected to the federal council of his country, and this year was made vice president of that body, -which Is the equivalent of vice president of the republic. Switzerland refunded, with profuse apologies, by always rewards Its vice presidents by Mr. McCormick, but he toys be can’t promoting them to the highest office, stand the strain much Iqnger, and some and all the Swiss knew that the Doctor way must be devised for distinguishing would again fill the office he so well these two men so that no more mis­ filled before.

We had gone up In the great bay near the head of the lake, when some boys and dogs, rummaging around the woods along the shore, started a deer and chased it onto the Ice, and wo had the most exciting chase immediately after lever took part In. We did not harm the ouimal, aud had we wished to do so we couldn't, for there wasn't a gun In the crowd, but we made him “make the effort of his life" before he broke through the trocha we built around him and got away. When we sighted him he was making straighvacross the bay. which Is five miles wide, nnd the Ice was so slippery that he could not make anything like the usual time of Ids kind when they throw their souls Into their heels, and scatter miles be­ hind them with an easy indifference most beautiful to witness.

C*L*"*> JOMH^ON The train­ ed nurse la one of the most attrac­ tive flowers •f modern civilisation. Displaying the dread Sairy Gamp of yesterday, with bar inevitable whisky bottle aud ber unfailing stupidity, the trained nurse ba* come to comfort and to bless. She Is fleet-footed nnd sure of band; she l« Of Unflinching courage and unbelievable endurance, and. heaven be praised, she Is young, comely and cleanly. . Weall know the old nurse, her pecu­ liarities and her limitations. She may not have been quite so frowsy as Mrs. Gamp, ber weakness for "Just putting the bottle to her lips when she was so disposed" might not have been so mark­ ed, and- perhaps she did n-. ’ approve of Mrs. Prig's somewhat abrupt manner of soothing fractious patients, a* did Mrs. Gamp, but she was not an attrac­ tive figure at best nnd did little to rob the'tlckroom of the least of Its terror*. She was generally some whimsical, fat and untidy widow who had seen fifty or more hard winters nnd who had a wealth of uuchecrlng reminiscence to Cel! about them. Invariably she had taken to nursing because she had had so much sickness in her own family that she got used to It," and because she had no other way of earning a living. That good nursing might require special apti­ tude or knowledge' no one formerly thought of declaring. Was Jibe not a "motherly old soul,” who was willing io work cheaply and put up with all .sort-, of Inconveniences? But what an altogether different per•son Is the new nurse—the trained nurse! She arrives in a cab and asks to have ber luggage, which consists of a dress suit case, sent to her room. There she goes herself, aud when she reappear* ■•he has changed ber tailor-made dress for ber neat nurse’s uniform, of which •th» prominent features are the spotless white apron, with its crossed straps, the white muslin cap with its prim frills, •nd the immaculate collar nnd cuff*. Her trim figure, rosy cheeks aud bright eyes make a picture that cannot’help but brighten tbe dullest sick chamlter. Thus arrayed she Is ready to assume her position as the autocrat of the sick­ room. She goes about her work in a .•prompt, decided, businesslike manner. Nursing as she understands aud prac­ tices it means work. Instead of making herself comfortable she. tries to do as much for the patient. And how many "ways she finds of doing this! She ar­ ranges the tad so that !!•_• light can Im let in without hurting his eyes. She hangs up her thermometer and doe* not r**: until she lias the temperature of the room just right. She calls for de­ odorizers and uses them scientifically. She moves about quietly and does her work without noise or confusion. When the doctor comes, she has some­ thing more definite to tell him about her charge than that he ha* been "fairly comfortable." She hands him her every last germ in it Is killed os dead as a door nail, or she can pasteurise it If the physician prefers * limited execu­ tion of microbes at 175 degrees’ F. ' And then, when convalescence comes, how.she can sharpen up the dull appe­ tite with milk punches nnd eggnogs iftich as none but the most expert bar­ tender could concoct! She '•an even give points to the doctor himself about the use of pepsin and lime water In milk. veutilAtlon, the use of antiseptics nnd a dozen other little jmlnts in Im­ proved hygiene which lie ha* not bad the time to acquire. She can be trust­ ed. too, to administer tbe medicines with regularity and accuracy. There Is no likelihood that who will give the wrong liquid or an overdose, for she un­ derstands the nature of the medicines herself and their effects. Should nn emergency arise, she can lw relied upon to know what to do. nudjylth her In the house the* doctor .can reduce the num­ ber of bls visits sometimes due-half. At first glance It seems that the train­ ed nurse is an expensive luxury. Her salary Is from $25 to $40 a week, the latter price being charged In ca*es of malignant and contagious diseases. But every physician will tell you that In most cases tbe trained nurse is an economical necessity. A* for the life of the trained nurse herself It Is not an especially atractive one, but the profes­ sion has its good point*. To bccoma a trained nurse she must enter a hospital training school pt any age between 23 nnd 35. S.he must spend nt least two year* in' study, attending lectures, working in wards and learning the de­ tails which go to make nursing an ex­ act science. Her hospital life may ta brightened by little flirtations with the young doctors, and she may eventually The Late Prince** Bismarck.* "The Countess stood there, hesitat­ ing a moment,” writes George W.

But It Is in pre; taring tbe sick person’s meals that ber cultivated genius shines forth at its best. The old-fashioned nurse could offer the invalid but two dishes. One was gruel, and tbe other •was beef ten. The gruel was generally an unpalatable, pasty beverage that even a hungry well man would grumble at, and the beet tea was usually little better. Tbe new nurse, though, will take n chafing dish gt d prepare dozens of appetizing little dainties that are di­ gestible and palatabie.

A burly negro marauder in Pittsbnrg fell a victim tn it* wiles. It was the Thouse of Dr. R. L. Tsylor, the police surgeon of Pittsburg, says the New York World, that the burglar fixed upon as a good one to .rob. The surgeon was at police headquarter* until 1 o'clock in the morning and the burglar bad full swing, for everybody else in the house was sound asleep when he got in. There wa* plenty of silver and a number of valuable light articles within convenient accc**. From a professional point of view the thing was a dneh. Tbe burglar quickly made up a bundle and was all ready to take an unostentstloua departure, desirable under the circumstance*, when his eye fell upon a fatal pie snare. It was a rich, yellow looking pic. mellowed and softened in tone by the delicate, coating of Pittsburg cool smut, which had settled upon its’surface. It was of the pumpkin variety, a variety for which the burglar had a special weakness. He hesitated and was lost. He had just sunken his gleaming Ivories through a section of the pie, when be heard the click of Dr. Taylor’s latch-key in the lock. He dropped the pie, seised his bundle and fled with Dr. Taylor after him In hot pursuit. Half way .down the block he threw away hi* bundle. The Doctor stopped to pick it up nnd the thief escaped. At least he thought he had escaped, but he counted without tbe plo trap. When Dr. Taylor returned to his house nnd the aroused neighborhood had settled down to, rest again the pie with its grinning circular indentation of teeth marks stared the man of science In the face. He found that in thegummy paste of the pie he had a perfect cast of the burglar's teeth, and fte knew that few traces a man could leave behind him were better guides to identification than the impress of teeth. So the pie was carefully removed to the police station and there locked up in the safe until the time came to fix it to somebody's teeth. There was not long to wait. Frank Washington, a suspiciously acting negro, it was learned, bnd been seen loitering about the neighborhood, and he waa arrested. He denied everything until they drew the deadly pie on him. and then he perceptibly weakened, for his teeth marks compared with those in the pie paste io a dot.

Harper's Round Table tells a story in point. Patrick was the captain of a schooner that piled between New York and Hav­ erstraw on the Hudson, bne day his schooner was loaded with bricks, ready to start for New York, but Patrick gave no sign of any intention to get under way. Instead of that, he sat on deck smoking a pipe. The owner of the brickyard, who was also the owner of the schooner, and THE FLYING Ing arrangement In making a very abrupt turn. The inventors are sanguine of run­ ning on a cldar stretch of ice at the rate □f fifty or seventy^flve miles per hour. On a public road in good sledding con­ dition a speed of twenjly or thirty miles per hour may be reached with safety. The inventors also claim that their ma­ chine will be a boon to arctic explor­ ers. to a degree beyond their power of circulation. , In the above cut it will be observed that, for the sake of simplicity, the common form of sled Is used to show the details of steering and propulsion, but one may deviate from this and adopt any ornamental style of sled, so as to suit tbe most exacting and fastid­ ious tastes.___________________ SLED. who had reasons for wishing the bricks landed.In New York at tbe earliest pos­ sible moment, came hurrying on board and demanded of tbe captain why he did notset sail. "Shure, your honor," said Patrick, "there's no wind." "No wind! Why, what’s the matter with you? There's Lawson's schooner under sail, going down the river now.” "Yls, I’ve been watchin* her, but It’s no use my gettln’ under way. She’s got the wind now, and, faith, there isn’t enough of It for two.” Sudden Destraction of Birds. Tbe long seml-atfnual migrations of birds arc attended by numberless perils and great loss of life. A dispatch from Baton Rouge, La., In the middle of Oc­ tober last, affords a striking instance. On Friday morning, the dispatch saya. early risers here witnessed a pe­ culiar phenomenon; a shower of dead birds that fell from a clear sky, aud literally cluttered the streets. There were ducks, catbirds, wuodi>eckcra and many birds of strange plumage, some of them resembling canaries, but all dead. They fell In heaps along the thor­ oughfares. The most plausible explanation of the strange windfall, the sender of the dis­ patch thinks, Is that the birds were driven inland by a recent severe storm on the Florida coast Doubtless they were caught by some sudden change of weatb>r while they were migrating at a great height perhaps several miles above the earth. Some idea of the extent of the shower may be gathered from the fact that In one avenue children picked up as many ns 200 birds.__________________ Devoid of Anima! Life. “The Antarctic, then.

Europeans bare too many political projects to further, to suit the orien­ tal*. and Americans are smarter rail­ road builders. a ton of butter sold from tbe farm deprives tbe soil of about 50 cents worth of fertility while* ton of wheat cost* the farmer ten times as much. When the farmer sell* an article that does not take a large portion of fertil­ ity from the soil be is just that much the gainer although he had gotten his price for the same, as the plant fpod In the soil is always prepared and stored as so much raw material for tbe next crop. In fact when a farmer sells the fertility of the sol’ be sells tbe farm Itself, as he is compelled to supply in some form to the farm, that which he takes from It to be sent to the market. Everybody ought to know that the beet thing he can do is to eat apples before going to bed. The apple has remarkable efficacious *ang_ medicinal properties. It is an excellent brain food, because It has more phosphoric acid in easily digestible shape than other fruit*. It excites the action of the blood, promotes healthy and vig­ orous sleep, and thoroughly disinfects the mouth. It helps the kidney se­ cretions aud it relieves the digestion, and is one' of the best preventives known of diseases of the throat. No harm can come to even a delicate sys­ tem by the eating of ripe and juicy’ apples just before retiring for ’ tbe night. Some time ago the publishers of Everywhere offered a prize for the best-and simplest cure for a cold. The following recipe, from M. J. Heryey, Cushing, Oklahoma, was the prize winger: “Throw back the shoulders, close the mouth and inhale. Force the air out through tbe nose. Repeat at short intervals until relieved.” The judges held that a cold was a conges­ tion and that plenty of fresh air In tbe lungs would cause it to pass off through tbe natural channels. This Is certainly tbe most simple remedy that could be given, and no doubt one of nature’s best, it is worth try­ ing at the first appearance of a cold. Rube Smith had a narrow escape from a horrible death last week in a runaway accident He and Curtis Pennock were drawing wood to town, when Pennock’s team, which was be­ hind. started to run. They caught up with Smith's team and the front end of Pennock’s sleighs caught the rear end of Smith's sleighs. This fright­ ened Smith’s team and they too start­ ed to run. Smith was in -between tbe two loads of wood, dragging on the ground, but hanging to the reins for dear life, not daring not to let go for fear tbe sleighs would run over him. Finally Smith’s team pulled out a lit­ tle ahead of Pennock’s and tbe latter team swerved out of tbe road, in through L. £. Ashley’s door yard, and were finally stopped.

HOW TO FIND OUT Fill a bottle or common glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;-* sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre­ quent desire to urinate or pain in tbe back, is also convincing proof that the kidneysand bladder are outxif order. WHAT TO DO. There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy fnlflills every wish in relieving pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder, and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to bold utlne and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effect following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urin­ ate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root Is soon realized. It stands tbe highest for its wonder­ ful cures of tbe most distress!ng cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

He saya the few colonists remaining at Topolobampo are entirely without means of support and are suffering for food.

RECALLS THE INDIAN MASSACRE. neaday,. It brought out an energetic state­ ment from Senator Sherman, in which he foreshadowi-d a new treaty by which the United States could build the canal,with­ out the Intermediation of a private eonce*■ion. The.Benator declared that tbhi gov­ ernmental executiou of the project vaa ths only feasible one. nnd thnt all private efforts In that direction had proved fail’ures. ' Answering Mr. Morgan’s recent charge that England inspired opposition to American control of the canal. Mr. Sherman asserted tbat this was a "buga­ boo.” wholly without foundation. He added a handsome tribute to England and her institution*. The House adopted the conference report on tbe immigration bill by a vote of 131 to 118. The principal criticism of tbe measure agreed on by the conferees in defeat* was baaed upon tbe extension of the educational test fo fe­ male as well as male immigrant*, on the ground that it might divide families, and to the limitation to-the ability of an im­ migrant to read and write the English lan­ guage or the language of their native country or residence. Mr. Hepburn (Rep.. Iowa) cln*ed the debate in support ot the report. When he declared that hundreds of thousand*.of American laborers were to-day walking the streets of the great cities because they bad been crowded out by the incoming stream of alien*, the pub­ lic galleries of the House fairly shook with -acclaim. The House passed the Indian appropria­ tion bill Thursday and entered upon tbe consideration of rhe agricultural appro­ priation bill, but all interest in these two measurM waa ovenihadotved by tvto remariHible sprechea, one made by Mr. Gros­ venor of Ohio, attacking ex-Gov. Altgeld of iniuoia. and the other by Jff- Dearmond of Missouri, heaping ridicule on Sec­ retary Morton for the recent issue of a pamphlet entitled “The Farmers’ Inter­ est in Finance." Mr. Grosvenor’s obser­ vations on the Governor of Illinois were called forth by the latter!* recent ijpeech. in which he charged that Mr. Bryan had been defeated by fraud and based his charge particularly on the enormous In­ crease of the vote in Ohio, where, he al­ leged, 90,000 votes were illegally cast. Mr. Grosvenor analyzed the Ohio vote and explained tbe causes of its increase, calling attention to the fact thnLtbe Dem­ ocratic vote in the State had increased proportionately much more than the Re­ publican. The Senate, by a vote of 41 to 15, confirmed the nomination, of William 8. Forman of Illinois to be Commissioner of Internal Revenue. Senator Cullom presented to th# Senate a number of let­ ter* and memorials he had received from Chicago business firms asking for the pas­ sage of the Torrey bankruptcy bilL By the decisive vote of 46 to 4 the Sen­ ate Friday passed the bill for the appoint­ ment of commissioner* to an international money conference. The bill m passed 1* as follow*: "Whenever, after Mnrch 4. 1897. the President of the United* States shall de­ termine that the United State* should be represented at any international confer­ ence called by the United States or any other country, with a view to securing by international agreement a fixity of rela­ tive value between gold and silver a* money by means of n common ratio be­ tween these metals, with free mintage at •nch ratio, he I* hereby authorized to ap­ point five or more commissioner* to such internafionnl conference, and for com­ pensation of said commissioner* and for ill reasonable expenses connected there­ with. to be approved by the Secretary of State, including the proportion to be paid by the United States of the joint expenses of any *uch Amferenee, the sum of $100.­ 000. or so much thereof ns may be neces­ sary. is hereby appropriated. "The Preuident of the United State* is hereby authorized, in. the name of the Government of the United States, to call, in hi* discretion, such international con­ ference to assemble at such points as may be agreed u|Kjn.” The House witnessed another sensation­ al episode. At the end of an acrimonious debate on the conference report on the bill to confer the right* nnd franchises of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad on the purchasers under the mortgage foreclos­ ure. Mr. Power* of Vermont and Mr. Bar­ rett’of Massachusetts exchanged broad­ sides The nominal business of the House Sat­ urday was the consideration of the agri­ cultural appropriation bill, which was passed before adjournment, but much of the' time was devoted to political discus­ sion. The free distribution of need* by the department of agriculture raised a lively discussion. Mr. Northway (Rep.) of Ohio asserted that Secretary Morton endeavored to discredit the custom by procuring |toor seed*, and Mr. Bramwell (Rep.) of Ohio charged that a Minneapo­ lis seed firm bad attemptsd to,bribc him by an offer of. seeds free to refrain from calling the attention of Congress to tho quality of the good* they furnished the department. An amendment wa« offered by Mr. Mercer for the free distribution to member* of poultry, swine and oth«r live stock, to illustrate hl* opposition to seed gifts. At the request of agricultural or­ ganization* of iu* State Mr. Hill of Con­ necticut proposed to strike out the «ee<I Items, but his proposition.was lost.

Surrounding the build­ ing, they shot through the windows, mor­ tally wounding both Molitor and his clerk, Edward Sullivan. Molitor was so ardently hated by the community that practically no attempt wus made to bring tbe murderers to jus­ tice. It was not until nearly twenty years later that William Repke, one of the conspirators, spurred by his con­ science, made a confession, implicating himself, the convicts above named. Ste­ phen Reiger, Herrman Hoeft. Andrew Banks, August Barngns and others now dead. On hi* confession the arrests were made. The trial of Grossman at Alpena in January, 1893, attracted widespread attention. The people's case war. con­ ducted by Attorney General Ellis, and the prisoners were ably defended. On the testimony of Repke, Grossman waa convicted, and several month* later the conviction of Jacolui, Voegier and Fuhr­ mann followed. Reiger was subsequently tried, but Repke refused to testify, and be was acquitted. The accused strenuously denied their guilt. Although admitting their ronnec-' tion with the original conspiracy, they denied having been present on the night of the murder. During the years inter­ vening between the crim? and the arrest the convicts lived honest, upright live* and were highly respected iu the com­ munity. After they had been In prison a year or more Repke madb another confession wholly exonerating them from any parti­ cipation in the actual crime, and the care­ ful investigation made by the pardon board convinced the member* that th* men were innocent. The result wns that a unnnimou* recommendation that they be pardoned was made to the Governor. The report of the pardon l>onrd severely reflects on the conduct of Attorney Genreal Ellis, who is accused of knowingly introducing n false certificate of birth of one of Grossman's children in order to impeach his testimony. Repke. having confessed participation iu the killing, hail nothing to hope for from his second confession, aud will spend the rest" of his days in prison. Fuhrmann is now 73 years old.

The investigation of the pardon board revealed the fact that Molitor was re­ puted to lie the natural son of the king of Wurteuiberg’. and one of the maids of honor. He was an engineer in charge of the fortifications, and for selling th? plan* to the French Government a price was put on his head, and he wa* forced to flee the country. While being punmed in bi* own country a woman hid him between the mattresses of a ImmI, and kept him con­ cealed there for two days, during which time the officers searched her house sev­ eral times. She followed him to thi* coun­ try. but he desertetl her and her child. She obtained a 'judgment of >19,000 against him, but never was able to col­ lect it. At one time diwing his career in Presque County he refused to surrender the iKXtks of the county treasurer'* office to his suc­ cessor. and on that occasion came Jtenr being lynched. A committee wait&l upon him. tied a rope around his neck and led him to the road, where the rope wa* thrown over a limb. Here they kept him. nil day, but he never quailed, sending for his dinner and eating it with the rop* around his neck. Finally the courage of the would-be lynchers failed, and they released him.

Comptroller of the Currency Eckels had a second conference with the House Com­ mittee on Banking nnd Currency Monday, which was n continuance of the meeting of Thursday. Mr. Eckels expressed the opinion thnt the only remedy for existing financial troubles wns a complete revision of the banking system, which would amount almost to n new system. The discussion was an informal one, in which nil the .members of the* committee took* part. Mr. Eckels thought that no more gold for redemption purposes would be needed under a proper banking system than now. The only nse for metallic money was for redemption purposes. Check to Ratification. According to n Washington corrcspqpdent Senator Cullom, of the Foreign Rela­ tions Committee, says he doubts very much the arbitration trcatr being rat­ ified by the Sepate before March 4. The pressure from outside is growing still greater, nnd the Senators are feeling it. But they are abler to withstand it this year than they would have been n year ago, or would be a year hence, fcr the elections are over and there is practically no more to bother them this year. Sena­ tor Cullom was asked what be thought of Great Britain's alleged objection to the amendments to the treaty. He said: •'Well, if Great Britain doesn’t like the amendments they must be pretty good. 1 am for them.” Another Senator, n mem­ ber of the Foreign Relations Committee, wns asked whnt he thought of the report that the administration would not accept the treaty with tbe pending committee amendments. He said: "It is my sincere opinion that the present administration wil| not have an opportunity to accept the treaty with- the committee amendments, and for the reason that I do not believe the Senate will ratify the treaty in time for this administration to either accept or reject it; but there is no reason for re­ fusing to accept it. The treaty Is strong­ er in our favor, because of the amend­ ments. and it wouldn't be ratified without them." . Defalcation of *43.000.

SALVATION ARMY'S NOBLE WORK • . * Thousands of New York's Hoaelsss Find Shelter in Ita Build inas. The number of nwn in New York City who are without a home and the neces­ sary means to purchase food for thetn•elves, on account of lack of employ­ ment. a New York correspondent says, is nometliing appalling. With all its boasted public and private charities, there are thousands of human beings in the metrop­ olis who nre to-day suffering the cruel pangs of hunger. The Salvation Army has been doing a noble Christian work among these homeless, penniless creatures for the paat two weeks, and it is no exag­ geration to say that were it not for the grand work of Commander Booth-Tucker and his corps of assistants the number of deaths from hunger and cold would be large. Commander Booth-Tucker was in Chi­ cago nnd there saw the great suffering of the homeless because of the cold weath­ er. He offend all the buildings in the control of the Salvation Army to the Mayor of Chicago and his offer was ac­ cepted with thanks. Realizing that the buffering among the poor of New Y’ork Aggt be mfiaitely greater, he telegraphed toafayorStrong the use. of all the army buildings and meeting places as a shelter for those who needed it. Hundreds of the city’s homeless have flocked to the differ­ ent shelters every, night since, and after spending a night there are each given a piece of bread and a cup of coffee or a dish of sonp. In six nights no fewer than 10.U00 men found accommodations, the number running above 2.000 on nights when the cold wns more severe. The army officers extend a hearty welcome to all, Irrespective of creed, color or nationality, and their only regret is that they have not larger and better accommodations. m nua One of the most remarkable episodes in KM.' connection with the blizzard in South Dakota.wns the blockading of the train containing aimut $2fX),lXX) of »hr State funds.

Maximo Gomez hnd arrived in Cuba to begin Operatfea*. ' Tbe history of the island runs coinci­ dent with our own. and is therefore inter­ esting. Cuba was discovered by Christo­ pher Columbus Oct. 28, 1492. sixteen days after he touched at San Salvador, nnd Bineteen years later his son. Diego, colon­ ised the island. Pope Leo X. erecting its first cathedral. Velasquez followed with sew contingents, and in loll) the capital was located, nt once assuming a position of importance in the eyes. < t the free lances of the ocenn. lu IMS n French -adventurer sacked the town, which was rctault when Ferdinand De Soto, the discoverer of the Mississippi Rivet, ’was made Governor. Spain prised Havana ns a base of operations. There Cortez com­ pleted Ids preparations for the conquest of Mexico, nnd there Pizarro rested his men before proceeding to Peru. Despite the strong fortress erected, the French la 1554 again destroyed the town, when two other fortresses for the defense of Havana were built, which still exist—the Moro and the Punta. By 1600 the coion­ iota were raising cattle and applying • thumb-acrewb and the torch to the na­ tives to induce them to-reveal tbe spots where they found gold and silver uug■rts. Then they started the cultivation of tobacco and sugar, and the woes of the satires began. Under a system of cruelty aa»d oppression the gentle aborigines di■zintalred so rapidly that negro slaves were introduced, and that eventually led to the internecine strife which has made are of tbe fairest spots on earth tbe home greatilence and erime nnd savagery in warfare, tbe contemplation of which aiekrns a civilised world. After invasions by the French, English wad Dutch, and various claims as to the wwaerahip of the island, Cuba was re­ stored to Spanish rule in 1703. A new ■stive imputation now sprung up, and in 1790-Las Casas, whose memory is rewrrd by Cubans to this day. became -captain general of Cuba. Ita ports were evened to tbe world, and great public 1m- dawning of praaprrity. however, and tbe represqptatiou of the Island in tbe Madrid I'srifameat, several Kuccrsslve outbreak* occurred, culminating in the famous “Black Eagle" conspiracy of 1829. Good governors were few. and from Velasques down to Wcyler, they were vested with absolute power, insurgents were burned alive, intolerance throve, nnd the merci­ less dealings of the despots finally effected an amalgamation of the white, red and black races. The insurrection referred to was queRed. bnt others followed, and two years since tbe restive spirit of .the* peo­ ple. galling under an unjust yoke, wns augmented by still worse Spanish mis­ government. The beet sugar production of Germany made Cuban culture unprof­ itable. With hard times came discon­ tent. The stupid Madrid Government continued Its oppressive taxation. Injustice nnd nepotism, and exiled patriots saw I belt opportunity to give affairs a political character. Money was raised, arms bought, ship.* chartered and parties of patriots—some of them veterans of the war of 1868-78— were landed in the eastern provinces, where white and colored workmen of the plantations and small villages were in­ duced to take up arms. The location of Cuba is such thnt iu case of annexation to the United States or even the certainty of its independence, the commercial benefits accruing to this country would be very great and lasting. It is only 180 miles from'Florida, nnd al­ though containing only 45.319 square miles, or a little more than half the area of the State of Kansas, every section fa stored with rich natural rnourew. It has valleys thnt are susceptible of rais­ ing the finest grades of vegetable luxur­ ies, and mountains 8.000 feet high. It has 260 rivers, nnd its seasons arc uni­ formly divided—rain from May to Octo­ ber. sunny skies from November to April The population is fully adequate to all possible national nnd commercial require­ ments. Five years ago it was announced at 1,521.(184. of whom 97T,092 were Spanish, 10,632 foreign whites.-489.240 blacks, nnd 43.8J1 Chinese. Havana ’nlone is credited with a imputation of 200,(XX) souls. There arc several short railways, in the aggregate covering some 500 miles. Cuba nltounds in citrus fruits. There nre peerless orange, lemon and lime groves; coconnnta, cocoanut oil, cocoa.’ coffee. India rubber, tobacco— these com­ modities form the base of supplies easily obtained, while tbo interior and middle sections boast Immense forests of ma­ hogany and dye woods. It is estimated that there nre 13,000.000 acres of unclear­ ed mahogany forests nlone. The wood ir so common that chopping blocks nre made of it, nnd watering troughs of red cedar. Lignum vitne for flutes, laneewood for carriage shafts and surveying instru­ ments. nnd other tine varieties of rare nnd precious timber also»exist in wild and one limited volume. There is the richest kind of grazing for cattle. Forty-four times more food can be secured from an acre of bananas than from an acre of pota­ toes. aud it is claimed that from thnt small area in Cuba 20,000 ixmnds of fiour can be obtained in a single year, nud tbe much-used banana wine in pro­ portion. With nil these manifold re­ sources. It is estimated thnt the island in normal times would take $300,000,000 worth of merchandise annually from the United States, to which country it now sells 250.000,000 cigars every yepr. Up to the present time, when .Chban in­ dependence is still hovering in *the bal­ ance. the history of the last great strug­ gle for independence in Cuba involves the same line of victories and reverses that characterized the strife of the ’(IDs, only that the people seem more determined and better organized. The death. of Marti May 19. 1885, and that of Maceo a few weeks since, were severe blows for the insurrectionists, for they idolized these men. but intrepid leaders nre not lacking. Marti's great political act wns tbe summoning of the September conven­ tion. which declared a provisional govern­ ment. He was shrewd, and persistent, and in an incredibly brief space of time had vast quantities of firearms imported from the United States. By December, 1895, the Cuban forces were right in the center of the Spanish army. The latter were driven back for seven consecutive days, and Campos, then In command, was forced to change his strategic positions by Gome*, being overwhelmed nt Calisco, Christmas evr.* Gomes. ■* ire had prom­ ised, was within a few miles of Havana and Matantcaa. and so evrtnin of uuccvm seemed the efforts of the patriots, that Gen. Wcyler was sent “to subdue this conglomeration of negroes, bandits, assas­ sins and adventurer*.” Then began the policy of terror tind butchery ever since diligently pursued. Tire tortures indicted on prisoner*. on susjrect*. on helpless, in­ nocent women and children, almost out­ rival tbo'Armenian cruelties; men were o death, slowly garrnted, women un.d children were cast into burning houses, blistered with lighted matches, dismembered, nud these horror*, coupled with a memory pf whnt 300 patriot Cu» bans were suffering in Kpniu's jret con­ vict colony—Ceuta—fired the blood of TOUTVKKD WITH BLAZING MATCHES. every true native patriot anew, and brought to them the sympathy of nearly every nation on the earth. The Cubans stood firm, with nearly three-fourths of the island under control, with their civil government fully established in Santiago, Puerto Pribdpe, Santa Clara and sev­ eral minor provinces. It Is a remarkable fact that when Cam­ pos. "the strong man of Spain,” arrived in Cuba with HtVXJO soldiers "to recognize belligerent rights" in 187(1. out of 145.000 soldiers previously sent, not enough had returned to their native land to constb tute a regiment. The deeds following the oppression of those years were heroic. Persecution made* martyrs. In one in­ stance, a boy of 15 was arrested for seditious writings. He'was loaded with chains, kept at bard tabor, nnd finally sent to Spain. Here he became n brilliant journalist. This boy was Jose Marti, the great Cuban patriot, who by 1891 had formed patriot clubs everywhere, ami who was the first to appear as a war leader when the present revolt broke out. The war in Cuba may be primitive in its general methods and barbarous in the matter of butchery, but it is certainly rnoderu in the rapid development of dyna­ mite nnd other explosives as weapons of offense and defense. To tbe dyunmitc gun used by tbe Cubans in Pinar del Rio more than to anything else may be attributed tbe noteworthy successes of Macro against the Spanish troops. Invis­ ible bullets, though deadly in their ef­ fect, are comparatively easy to' stniui against. It requires superhuman nerve however, to face a healthy dynamite pro­ jectile. and it is no wonder thnt the Span tab troops have bw-n invariably defeated when called upon to make a stand ngainsi such weapons. Army officers are watch­ ing the war in Cuba with great interest, as the employment of dynamite by the Cubans has satisfied the military* mind of the value of this explosive for/offensive purposes. ■ Despite her financial embarrassment Spain has recently done relatively more than any European power, with tbe ex­ ception of Great Britain, to strengthen her navy. At present there are four tor­ pedo-boat destroyers in the bands of builders. The first two have recently completed their official trials, and these have been rhost successful in all respects. The dimensions of the vessels are 220x 20 feet, nnd the engines nre triple expan­ sion. developing 6.(M)0 horse power.

The splendid march of Gomez and Maceo across tbe island from Santiago to Pinar del Rio, tbe fierce fights within cannon shot of Havana, the constant destruction of the trochas, were brilliant achieve­ ments that, terrified the encompassed Wcyler. until they culminated in the death of Maceo. With the opening of the new year, however, the situation seems just as complex and undetermined as it was the day after tbe two chieftains hoisted their flag in the eastern province, and began the battle for freedom. The cud is apparently no nearer than it was a month after the first call to arms. MICHIGAN LEGISLATURE STATE OF MICHIGAN. OCCURRENCES DURING PAST WEEK. THE Pathetic Story af a Father at Mur kcirOn— Holty Man Raves His Cash by Telling—Sad Death of an Owoaso Young Lady. It Itrought Teara. The story of one of the worst tragedies in the history of dnmbt-riug operations in western Michigan was retold in a trial before Judgt- Russell in the Muskegon Circuit Court. Jonathan II. Critcbet, as administrator of the estate of Wm. A. Critriiet. brought suit against Staples & Covell, tbe wealthy lumbering firm of Whitehall. for $15,000 damages. At about noon on the 9th of April. 1894, a lagging engine wns carrying a party of nine men in from the woods where they had been at work to the ramp where, they were to eat dinner. nndJiad reached n place with­ in haff n mile of its destination. At this point a tree had fallen across tjic track, ,and this the locomotive struck while run­ ning backward. The machine wavered a moment nml then rolled aver nnd down the embankment on which the tracks were laid, carrying with It the entire crow. Of the nine men. seven were so badly scalded, burned and bruited thnt they either died immediately or passed nway within n few hours. Tlie man who. brings this suit lost two sons iu tbe accident, the one stated nnd Loren Critchet. When the father was on'the stand he told how bl* boy kiss­ ed him and died in his arms, and ns he told the story his voice choked nnd court, jurors, attorneys nnd sjiectators were sus­ piciously busy in looking out the window or with their handkerchiefs. Robbers Were Foiled. W. G. Evans, n prominent business man of Holly, nnd for ntnuy years a member of the Common Council, wns held up on bis way homo from the Masonic lodge room at 11 p. in.. ami within one block of his home. While passing the hospital on Broad street two men stepped out from behind the building.. The targe man struck, Evans over the bend with a small hickory club about twenty inches long, knocking him down, when the small man undertook to rille his clothes. Mr. Evans wns not knocked out. however, ami called loudly for help, which frightened the small man, who took to bis heels. The large man tried t<» complete the job. but wns not equal to the occasion nnd also ran nway. Mr. Evans was nt his place of bus­ iness next morning, but somewhat dis­ figured. He received a hard blow with the club over his eye, which made it nec­ essary to call n doctor to sew up the wouud. The only description of the men was that one wns largo and otic small.

Jhe error was dfacovered a year ago. nnd Gov. Rich seriously con- ■ temptated calling an extra session of the Legislature to correct it. The expense of such a session caused the abandonment of this Ide*, as It would have been prac­ tically political suicide, and aii imrties aware of the situation were sworn to aecrccy. During the campaign these pet-­ sons were on tbe verge of nervous prostra­ tion for fear the opposition would discover their error and cause the rejection of Michigan's electoral vote. Tbe secret was ito well* kept that the county boards can­ vassed and returned the vote as usual, having no knowledge that there was no provision fa the statute for doing this. Tbe present Legislature will remedy the defect.

Tbe Carnegie-Rockefeller Interests In the iron and steel business have been'eombined, aud they will seek to control the steel rail business of the world. Tuesday a $17 price was announced at their East­ ern mills, the cut from $25- having been made within a few bourn. The. reduction was met by the Hlinola Steel Company at Chicago, which makes about one-third of the rails produced In this country and which han never belonged to the steel pool, by a $21 price, whk-b, with freight, competes with the Eastern mills. The Carnegie-Rockefeller -combination is the outcome of a plan conceived by John D. Rockefeller years ago. He has gradually acquired control of the vial Iron deposits of tbe Meaaba range, abort Duluth. These deposits are so near ths surface that mining has been done with scoops. Competitors had to sink deep shafts. Rockefeller -bought or built rail­ roads to the lake docks, and constructed the latter. When vessel owners squeezed him on freights, he built a macnificent fleet of ■ whaleback barges, to carry hie ore to the smelting furnaces on Lake Erie. These boats be built to draw 20 feet, nnd they carry ore ao cheaply that scores of smaller boata cannot compete. To make bis ore into steel, he contem­ plated building his own smelter at Lake Erie docks which he owned, but at the last moment a deal with Carnegie waa made, and the result is a two-man trust of power more stupendous than the world has ever before seen. They can produce 'finished steel rails cheaper thnu any other parties in the world, nud they intend to control the markets of the universe. Thia has been foreseen by other con­ cerns. The Illinois Steel Company bus already made sweeping reductions in wages in all departments, preparatory to the struggle, which President J. W. Gates The steel pool has liven composed of the Carnegie Steel Company, the Lacka­ wanna Iron nnd Steel Company, the Maryland Steel Company, the Pennsylva­ nia Steel Company, the Bethlehem Iron Company, the Cambria Iron Company. It waa fostered by Carnegie nnd Rockefeller until their plans were complete, and then smaslied nt one blow. Just before tbe World’s Fair the rail­ roads spent a large amount of money it> the betterment of their roadbeds, nnd heavy pufehanes of steel rails resulted. Thru came the blighting effects of the panic, and from that time until the pres­ ent railway managers have Iw-en monstrongly bent on keeping down the cash outgo than in keeping up their roadbed iu the pink of condition. Nearly four years hive passed since World’s Fair preparations, nnd many of the lines are getting into bad physical condition. All the principal lines are in position to require heavy purchases of new rails as soon as business improves, nnd thnt most railroad men believe will be nfter the in­ auguration of the new President. So con fident are some railroad men thnt better times tire nt hand that they arc likely to discount the future by placing heavy or­ ders at once with the steel mills, now thnt tbe price of steel has gone to bottom notch Benin at SlOO a Ton. All the original lines of railway were bnilt with iron rails, ns steel in the early days wns considered a luxury, to be used most sparingly. When railways began using steel for rails they imported them from England and paid about $100 a ton for ’•John Brown” rails. A large mileage was laid with rails at that price. Then American mills begnn to make steel rails, nnd English competitors were finally driv­ en from the field. Prices ranged down to $110% ton some vears afterward, aud "with the steady advance in appliances for the manufacture and handling of the product the sagging in prices continued until $50 was named one day as the price oy steel rails. That announcement caused ns much excitement in the trade ns the tiews thnt steel rails were being offered at $17. The larger part of the steel rails used in railway building was purchased at be­ tween $50 and $50 per ton. Between $100 and $17 n ton for steel mils 'is’the history of the most remnrkn' ble industrial development In the world. When American mills begnn to compete with foreign ironmongers the Lake Su­ perior region was a wilderness. Duluth was unheard of except as a traders' ham­ let. There were some copper mines on T.akc Superior, but the unlimited re sources of the region in iron ore were not dreamed of.

There are objections to the bill, but the opponents have no organisation, and if a day or two is sufficient to ex­ haust debate then it will pass the Senate with some slight amendments, which the House can concur In, and the country will then have a law upon the statute books which will release an enterprislug and courageous element from the necessity of longer working under cover.

It wns generally conceded by all those who spoke 'hnt If there could be any aMurnnee that this interpretation would be placed on the treaty if nccepteti there would be no spe­ cial opiMisition to its ratification. Senator Turpie contended that no other position was iMsidble in view of the indisputable fact that the Senate waa n part of the trvatymnking power of the United State*.

A little forethought during the leisure hours of the winter season will pro­ vide many a useful implement for the farmer nnd gardener. During fruit season it Is almost Impossible to have a super-abundance of ladders for gath­ ering fruit. The ladder portrayed here­ with rests on five bearings, throe of them adjustable ns to length nnd posi­ tion, nnd easily adapted to all inequali­ ties of surface, perfectly secure and portable. A G-foot ladder weighs about 40 pounds. Tbe crane, or basket nnd hook holder, rotates, or may be shifted to either side of the operator; will sup­ port 30 pounds of fruit In a basket with ease, nnd tbe legs all fold in when re­ quired. The object Is to provide a safe stand, and at the same time Increase tbe facilities of tbe operator in picking fruit, pruning trees, etc., giving him the full use of both hands and placing the basket within easy reach of tbe same, thereby saving time in transporting the fruit from the tree to the basket. The fruit can also be handled with less dam­ age from bruising, and It will there­ fore bring more money.—Farm and Home. Harty Radishes. Soak some good radish seed In water for twenty-four hours; then put in a bag and expose to tbe sun. In the course of a day germination will commence. The seed must be sowed in well-manured bot-bed, and watered from time to time with luke-warm water. By this treat­ ment the radishes will in a very short time acquire a sufficient bulk nnd be good to ent. If you wish good radishes in winter, during severe cold, an old cask should* be sawn In two. and onehalf of it filled wltb good earth. The radish seed, beginning to shoot as be­ fore. may be then sown, and the other half of the barrel pot on top of the full one, and tbe whole of the apparatus car­ ried into the cellar. For watering, luke­ warm water should lie used as before. In the conrae of five or six days tbe radishes will lie ready to eat.—Hural World. , Plowing Land In Winter.

It is better after a tree has borne seven annual crops to remove it, as a business investment, putting a new tree in Its place, rather than allow It to occupy the ground or plant a tree in some other place and use thia ground for other things. A good many growers will agree with this statement, but the best fruit Is from young trees, nnd the best gets the money. It Is not disputed that the trees will continue to bear after the first seven years, and many times with profit, but If you are In business for gain year In aud year out. the' above holds good." - St cmnrementa.

A standard cord of wood, it must be remembered, is four feet thick; that is, the wood must be four feet long. Farmers usually go by surface measure, calling a pild of stove wood eight feet long and four feet high a cord.

Washington’s coach, in which the fath­ er of his country rode to his inauguration and which should be treasured as a pre­ cious relic, is now rusting away in an old stable in New York, serving as a roost for chickens and a catch-all for discarded things usually thrown Into garrets. A few years ago thia coach was purchased for $6,500, but to-day it is virtually neg­ lected. * ' With what delight, says the New York Press in commenting on this, would the French take this graceful relic and array it in tlx- Musii' <!<• Cluny beside the Na­ poleon carriages guarded so reverently!

Mrs. Bradley Martin gave at the Hotel Waldorf, iu New York, Wednesday night, the costume ball which was bo much talk­ ed of in and out of society. Preacherw hnd discussed it in their pulpits, nnd some persons had frothed at the mouth over the $500,000 which wns to be spent for one night’s pleasure of a thou­ sand wealthy men and women. Invita­ tions to the ball were issued to an indefi­ nite number. Only the hosts knew the exact number, bnt it reached 1,800, because many of the cards went abroad and to persons in this conn.try nt a distance from New York who would have felt slighted if not invited, and who would have overcrowded the ball room ha<f they nil decided to come. Eight hundred or IMX) men and women, repre­ senting the world of wealth and society in and about New Y’ork, constituted the guests at the elaborate social function. The ball begnn at midnight nnd ended at 5 o’clock in the morning. Therefore Its pleasures cost at the rate of $100,000 an hour. The cost to the hostess waa about $125,000. It was a superb specta­ cle, which will go down in society's his­ tory ns a riot of color nnd display. It eclipsed all previous bal masques. It ia the crowning glory of the social life of New York of this centnry. It mny not be aunmMed in another hundred years. It was a gorgeous, superb and wonderful spectacle. It was a monument to vanity, splendid and ridiculous. . The results of months of preparation nnd the outlay of hundreds of thousands of dollars were ex­ hausted in fire hours.

It is with muc b pleasure that • e can call the particular attention of our readers to tbe fact that this article stands very high among remedies, and particularly high as a catarrh med^ine. Ely Brothers, we are informed, bare bad long ex­ perience as druggists and pharmacists, and a remedy coming from such a source should have'tbe confidence of those desiring a reliable preparation. One fact that should inspire con­ fidence In their catarrh cure (Ely's Cream Balm) Is that they'are willing to have it put to the test, and In order that every one may try It they are dow offering a generous trial size through tbe druggists, or will mall It on receipt of 10 cents.

Tbe system does not meet present requirements, the banks be­ ing precluded from giving the necessary accommodations to move crops, etc. The silver agitation was an outcome of the lack of banking facilities adequate to the needs of the country. Mr. Colby says be has bnd information thnt President­ elect McKinley has given carte blanche to n Chicago banker to prepare a scheme which, if acceptable, will be worked out by the Secretary of tlx- Treasury and sub­ mitted to Congress. He believes thnt the Canadian system of banks with large capi­ tal nnd branches hi different centers of the country and power to issue currency guaranteed by the government will, to a certain extent, be followed.

IL Pond, assistant adjutant general of the department of Michigan, G. A. R., forwarded his report of the con­ dition of the department- to national head­ quarters. The report is compiled from post reports for the six' months ending Dec. 31, 1890. The number of posts in the department at that date was 382, and the number of members was 10,090. The amount expended for relief during the. year 1890 was $3,001.11. - The amount of cash remaining in the general post fund, whs $9,330.10, and in the relief fund. $2.­ 307.80. The losses for the year were ns follows: By death. 343; transfer, 314; honorable discharge, 99; suspended, 1,308. Five post* surrendered their charters. The gains from mustering in new members were 578: from new posts, 0; by transfera, 200; by reinstatement of suspended mem­ bers. 1,308; by revival of delinquent post*. 0. Every post in. the, department is said to l»e in good standing, all reports having been made as required. This is n condi­ tion tjiat has not been shown before for some ytani. A gang of swindlers which has operated extensively in Wisconsin and Minnesota has now begun business in Michigan. The plan is to get the name and family bir-tory of some mnn who disappeared years ago and has not since l>een heard from. Theta one of the conspirators, located in Spain, will assume the role of a monk, nnd write some surviving relative of the missing mnh that the latter is cither dead or dying, possessed of nn immense prujwrty, and has made a will in favor of the |>erson ad­ dressed.' If the latter "bites" nt the first bait and answer* the communication, a second letter will arrive from Spain, giv­ ing such circumstantial detail and such bits of family history as will convince the alleged heir of perfect truthfulness. Sub­ sequent correspondence will result in a statement thnt a certain amount, usuully a few hundred, but sometimes n thousand, dollars, must be sent to settle lax claims, church tithe*, legal fees, etc. Anil if the "heir" complies, that's , the last he will ever hear from Spain. A large and enthusiastic Teachera’ As­ sociation meeting wns held nt the Jackson High School building. Tbe first paper wns given by C. L.

If the stockholders Jo not pny the assessment the receiver has authority under the order to commence «uit* to enforce its collection. A con­ siderable amount of the stock has been transferred by the original holders to oth­ er persons, but such transfers the receiv­ er does not understand are valid nnd he will endeavor to collect the assessment from the original nnd responsible holders of the stock. At the date of the bank's suspension tbe total assets of the bunk were $356,405.84. of which $164,540.53 wns classed ns worthless. $76,791.88 as doubtful and $115,073.41 ns good.

It will pay to make an effort to keep the incubator room at a moderate nnd even tempera­ ture.

Dr. Arthur Dnestrow. the St. Louis millionaire .who. on Feb. 16, 1894. shot and killed hi* wife and child in that city. few hour* before tbe execution took place . Due*trow threw off the mask of insanity, sobbed like a woman and admitted that he killed hi* wife and child. remarkable the courts of Mis­ souri. From tbe beginning Dueatrow tried to make people believf he was inaane, and. ins attorneys, rx-Gov. Charles P. John■on and Chorba T. Noland, did everything In their power to .carry out that idea. A legal inquiry made as to Dueatrow’s mentnl reopousibilify resulted in hi* being de­ clared perfectly sane by a jury, before whom many experts were examined. When the trial on the charge of murder came up. a change of venue was taken to Union. Franklin County, where the case was heard before Judge Hirsel. It result­ ed in a disagreement. Duestrow wo* given a second trial, and was .convicted nnd sentenced to hang. Several appeals were made to the State Supreme Conrt to grant a new trial, and, when these failed, Gov. Stephens was- asked to give the prisoner a renplte until the case cpuld be carried to the United States Supreme Court, but he refused to do so. Dr. Duestrow wn* a rich man. Although a graduate of medicine. Dr. Duestrow never made a pretense of practicing, his time being spent in riotous living. Hi* home at 1724 Compton avenue, Sl Louis, was a hnu<l*ome one, and his family life there would have been happy but for his dissolute habits. On the day in question Diiestrnw drove up to hi* home in a sleigh, with the intention of taking his wife and child out riding. He was greeted affec­ tionately by his wife, but responded in a surly manner. With no excuse whatever, he assaulted his wife, knocking her down several times. The climax came when the doctor pulled out a revolver and shot hi* wife, wounding her so that she died after several dny* of intense suffering. Then, taking up hi* 3-year-old son, Louis, whom he had plnyed with and caressed but a short time before, he held the child at arm’s length against the wall and blew hia brains out. BIBLE NOT INFALLIBLE. Opinions of Eminent Divines on Ques­ tion Raised by Dr. J. M. Buckley. The question of the infallibility of the Bible has been the general topic of cnovenuition in New York religious circles. Since Rev. Dr. James M. Buckley, editor of the Christian Advocate, ut a meeting of the Methodist minister*, advanced the belief that the English version of the Bible wn* not infallible, he has been the most widely discussed clergyman In the coun­ try. Strange to say. he is unanituoualy supported iu this belief by the ministers who so far have talked on the subject. Some of the opinion* expressed were as follows: Bishop John Fletcher Hurst—Dr. Buck­ ley is unquestionably in accord .with the advanced thought of the Chrintian Church to-day. No advanced theologian admits to-day that the Bible, as translated into English, is infallible. Rev. Robert Collyer. Unitarian—It ia true thnt there are not now a* many thinking people as formerly who bold to tlic old dogma of the church thnt tbe Bible is infallible, except ns a dogma of the church. Dr. J. H. Rylnnce, St. Murk'* Episcopal Church—It is nbsnrd to tal^of the infnllibility -if an iui|M rf«-; tly irnnslnted Bible. Dr. Lyman Abbott of Plymouth Church, 'Brooklyn—The action of the Methodist ministers in disavowing belief in the in­ fallibility of tbe Bible as it stands in the English version does not Htirprise me. It xv..uld surprise me to find a single one be­ lieving hr it. . Spark* from the Wires. Senator George .of Mississippi has re­ covered sufficiently to be taken to his home.

Moreover, the foreign consah have been compelled to abandon Canea nnd to take refuge on th« cruisers In-the harbor. Ibis, in s'few word#, records the hap peniugs of one of the moat sensational Bandars tn tbe history of modern Europe, The moat startling development of the highly Heuaotional day was the abandon­ ment of Crete by Its Governor. Prince Berovitch. without asking the consent of the Sultan, abandoned Canea early in the morning, and he ia reported to have taken an Austrian Lloyd steamer for Trieste. While there arc some excuses for this startling "act of the Prince, It must be said that it shows a cowardly lack of courage at tbe time when a directing baud was moat needed in the Snltan’s turbu­ lent province. There are some who be­ lieve tbat Austria hns had a bund in the Affair and that' the Vienna government prompted the departure of Berovitch. In tbe meantime Tutkey now has no direct­ ing hand in Crete, and anarchy, chaos and rebellion rale in the island. .Foreign Consuls Seek Refuge. The day opened ominously enough with a bombardment of Canea, by the Chris­ tiana. From the heights surrounding tbe town cannon shot and canister were injur­ ed Into tbe fated city, creating the wild­ est excitement and alarm. The foreign consuls found it necessary to See the city. Representatives of Greece, Russia. Austria aud France deemed it wise to abandon their consulates and to seek shel­ ter in the war ships of their respective pa­ tions. Meanwhile the batteries of the Turkish fortress replied with vigor to the volley# of. the Christians. Shrieking shell nnd whistling bullet answered each other with venomous rapidity, but the uncovered po­ sition of the Christian fighters left them easy victims to tbe marksmanship of the protected Turks. The Cretans were final­ ly dislodged, after a stubborn and fierce resistance, and the forces of Abdul Hamid occupied tbe AlkiAtiri Hills. Dispatches failed to give the mortality on either side, but it is believed that the combatants suffered severely. It is evi­ dent the military conduct of affairs at Canea is sot satisfactory to the Porte, as the military governor there has been re­ moved from his post. There is consider­ able anxiety regarding his successor, as the selection by the Sultan will to a cer­ tain extent give nti indication of bis future policy. At Heraklion the situation is most seri­ ous. The Christians, fearing n massacre nt tbe hands of the enraged Turks, are •eekinf shelter on the war ships, nnd «oon Bone but Mohammedans will be left in that to.wn.. At Halepa the conditions are just as distressing. There was fight­ ing there all day, the victima of the sav­ age struggle numbering scores, Greeks at the British Consulate. When the Greek consul left Canea with his staff he boarded the Greek iron­ clad. Hydrn. after placing the refugees at the consulate under the protection of the.British consul, wbutold them to board’ the Greek wnt^shi|w. Up to the present time, however? the refugees remain at the British consulate. The closing of the Greek consular office seem# to indicate a definite rupture of the relations between Greece aud Turkey. The Russian and French admirals have received Identical Instructions enjoining upon them tbe adoption of energetic measures.* This is probably In accordance with the English pn>|M>sal# which tbe ambassadors at Constantinople agre*-d upon, namely, the joint naval occupation of Canea.

Mrs. Bradley Martin, the. hostess of tho great New York ball; wiio has*won the distinction of paying out mure money for one evening’s entertainment than was ever paid out before, was Cornelia Sher­ man before she married Mr. Martin. Her father was Isaac H. Sherman, who amass­ ed a fortune of something like $10,090 in the manufacture and sale of barrel staves. Most of this money was inherited by the daughter, and the thousands which Mra. Martin expended on the recent grand af­ fair were earned years and year# ago in the big concern of which ber father wak tbe head. Mias Sherman met Mr. Martin at the wedding of Elliott F. Shepard twenty-five years ago. Mr. Martin* was Mr. Shepard's best man, and Miss Sher- years. ' WOMEN ARE GAINING. Increase in Proportion of Women in Working Classes. The eleventh annual report of tbe de­ partment of labor, transmitted to Con­ gress by Commissioner Wright, relates entirely to the work nnd wages of un-u. women and children. It shows tbat the proportion of women to the whole working class i# increasing, while that of children is decreasing. The report was prepared In pursuance of a joint resolution of Con­ gress. The definite purposes of the in­ vestigation were to determine to what ex­ tent. if any, women wore superseding men: to show tbe conjugal condition of the women wbo were employed; to com­ pare the relative efficiency of men nud women, and finally to show the relative rates of wages received by each sex in each industry. The agents of the depart­ ment secured information from 1.067 es­ tablishments of various kinds, located in thirty different States and employing 148,­ 367 persons, a number large enough to Insure thnt tbe data collected was thor­ oughly representative. The complete data sought for. however, was obtained fromonly 1>31 establishments. These 931 establishments employed 64.­ 560 persons ten years ago and. 108,643 in 1895-6. Of this number iu the first period 26,479 were mail's of 18 years of age or over, as against 43,195Tn thesecond: and 4,175 males under 18 year# of age. as against 7.540 iu the second, in the first period 27,1(13 were females 18 years of nge or over, and 6,743 females undec. 18 years of age, us against 45,162 and 12.751, respectively, in the present jteriod. From these figures It is wen thnt male employe# 18 years of age or over increased in the present period over the former jkriod 63.1 per cent, while female employes of the same age increased 60.3 ja*r cent. Male employe* under 18 year# of nge increaMti 80.6 per cent, while female em­ ploye# under 18 years of age increased 39.1 per cent. As collateral information an interesting showing is made of the figures of the last three rrnsusc* concerning the employ­ ment of women. The proportion of fe­ males 10 years of age and over employed in all occupations in the United States rose in its relation to the whole number employed from 14.68 per cent in 1870 to 17.22 per cent in 1890, while males de­ creased in prt»i»ortion from 85.32 per cent in 1870 to 82.78 per cent in 1890. Th.- retort throws considerable addi­ tional light upon the mnch-discusmsl ques­ tion ns to married women in industrial pursuits. For the present period, out of an aggregate of 70,987 women. 70.22L or 88.7 per cent, were single; 6,755. or 8.5 per cent, married; 2,011. or 2.5 per cent, divorce*!, and 244, or 3-10 of 1 per cent, unknown. The hurt census figures oo this point nre also analysed. Of tbe 3,914,571 females 10 years of age or orcr engaged in gainful pursuits in the United States in 1890, 60.84 per cent were single or their konjuga! condition unknown. 13.16 per cent were married, 16.16 per cent were widowed and 0.9 per cent were divorced. the most remarkable criminal proceed­ ings on record in this country.

That might be done in the House, but it is hopeless tn think of correcting this evil in the Senate. Senatorial courtesy would absolutely forbid It. In the House there may be a volunteer who will consent to guard the treasury and drive back the plunderers.” Mr. Dockery when asked to give fig­ ures showing tbe increase in the cost of running the (Jovernment, said: "The average annual actual expendi­ tures for each fiscal year from 1875 to 1888. inclusive, for tbe ordinary expenses of the Government, not counting pay­ ments on the public debt and payments out of postal revenues, were only $257.­ 863,714. The average for the same pur­ poses from 1889 to 1890, Inclusive, wns $.348,437,499. Thnt is, the average annual increase of expenditures in the last eight years hns been $90,573,785. or nn aggre­ gate Increase of the stupendous sum of $724,590,280 in eight-years as compared with the preceding fourteen years.” These expenditures, counting in the pos­ tal outlays nnd the requirements of tbe public debt, cal! for about half a billion dollars each year—one-third of tho whole volume of our money in actual circula­ tion. The great height of the court of the pension building, where the ball will be held, will be overcome by bunting fes­ tooned from the center from each of the three divisions of the court at_thi top of the second gallery. The bare walls every­ where and all of the smaller pillars will be covered with banting ns n background for the floxvers and greens which will be prominent features of the decorations. The bunting and thousands of tiny elec­ tric fairy lamp# will be used principally (o bring out in greater relief the floral designs. . .The President and Vice-President, with their families, will attend the ball nnd will be in charge of u reception commit­ tee, of which Major General Nelson A. Mlles is the chairman. The cost of tick­ ets to tbe ball hns been fixed at $5 for each penion and $1 extra if supper is de­ sired. In ansiver to .many inquiries re­ ceived nt headquarters it mny be stated that no invitations to tbe ball are neces­ sary to secure tickets, and none nre is­ sued except to foreign ministers. Tick­ ets are now1 on sale nnd may be had by anyone at the price named. The promenade concert will consist of six selections and the dance program con­ tains twenty-three numbers. The ball will be held ou Thursday night, mid in ad­ dition a series of five inaugural grand con­ certs will be given In the ball room on the following Friday nnd Saturday. The ball decoration will remain in place. The first concert will be given at 10:30 o'clock Friday morning in honor of the United States army, represented by Gen. Miles and staff.- At this concert the Re­ publican Glee Club of Columbus, Ohio, will sing a number of patriotic airs. At 2 o'clock on Friday afternoon a concert will be given in honor of the United States navy, represented by Rear Admirals Walker nnd Ramsey, and at night the concert will be given in honor of the States of. the Union, represented by the Governor# of the States nnd their staffs. Thi* concert Saturday afternoon will be in honor of Congress. represented by the President of the Senate and tlie Speaker of the House. The last concert. Satur­ day night, will be in honor of the people of the United States nnd will consist of music by the Twenty-second Regiment Band nnd a chorus of 500 voices. Admis­ sion to each concert will be 50 cents.

The List Exhausted, a Specific for the Nerves at Last is Found in' Dr.WHEELER'S NERVE VITALIZED We art apt to condemn all articles be­ came similar ones prove worthless. Per­ sons often reason: I have nervous prostration. St. Vitus' dance, spasms, rheumatism, can't sleep and am in a debilitating condition; have tried best physicians and most widely advertised remedies, but there is no cure for my-case. No matter what your past er per­ fence may have been Dr. Wheeler’s Nerve Vltalixer will positively cure every case of nervous trouble—no failures. Here is ex pert evidence of tha’ fact, Mr. J. H. Hutchings, Bancroft, Mich., for ao years a successful druggist, tried every preparation he could hear of without ben-lit. Dr. Wheeler’s Nerve Vitalixer cured him. The following are his words, read them: **I had a spinal trouble for years causing serious nervousness, sleeplessness and head­ ache. Our night watchman can tell you how. many and many a night I have walked the streets fat hours, hoping to tire myself to a condition of sleep. During these years J have tried nearly every remedy coming to my notice, with only a stupefying effect Tike morphine Tbe use of Dr. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalixer was an exception, iu beneficial effects were prompt and lasting; I aecnred refreshing sleep, my nerves were strength­ ened ana through them my health was re­ stored. From ooaervation and experience I believe Dr. Wheeler’s Nerve Vitalixer to be the beat remedy for all nerve troubles, in­ cluding general debility."

Michigan NUMBER 27 LOCAL SPLINTERS. It is unlikely that Michigan apples will ever again be sold at so low a fig­ ure as that realized for the crop of last year. The experiment of ship­ ping apples to Europe on a large scale was tried for the first time dur­ ing the past season and the favor with which the fruit met and success of the experiment was so well assured as to insure the continued and increas­ ed shipment of this staple product. Tnere Isnoquestiun of the superiority of Michigan grown fruit and our fruit growers will reap the benefit of this new market. The United States Con­ sul general, Frank Mason, at Frank­ fort, Germany, says the agricultural papers in Germany make the astonish­ ing statement that twenty times the import in apples in any previous year came into Germany during the past six mod ths. VILLAGE CAUCUSES. Next Monday will occur the annual village election. It is surprising to n ote the small interest taken in vil­ lage politics this year, and for a time It looked as though no ticket would be put up, but, the party leaders have injected a little enthusiasm In^o their respective parties and as a result there are two tickets in the field and as both are good ones no doubt the election will be close. The main thing in the election is to see that good, hustling men are elect­ ed for councilmen, as the welfare of the village depends to a large extent on securing men for these positions who have the Interest of the people at heart and who advance Instead of standing still. Following is the ticket put ,up by the republicans at their caucus 'held ** Monday night. President— II. C. Zuscbnitt. Clerk—U. F. Hough. Treasurer—J. C. Furniss. Assessor—FrankMcDerby. Trustees—R.

The smokeless, moreover, re­ quires a smaller charge. The term "smokeless” Is not absolute­ ly exact as a descriptive adjective. At the moment of discharge of a large gun loaded with this powder a grayish flint leaps front the muzzle sufficiently opaque to obscure the view of objects on the further side. But the veil that is thus momentarily flung before the battery front is brushed aside in an lu«tant by the slightest breeze.

Last year nn old peasant named Ivan Konzmin was reported to have traveled from Moscow to Kief at the age of 140. He was said to Im? In good health. He had formerly been coachman to Count Sheremetlef, but in 1840 was sent to Siberia, where he spent flfty-four years, returning in 1804. His is not the only instance in which a Siberian exile has survived to extreme old age. Two years ago there was said to have died In Sa­ mara one LavarentH Etlmoff. who had attained the age of 150. According to the newspaper reports of him he took part as a boy in the famous Pugatchef rebellion In the reign of Catherine the Great, and for ids share In that brief but sanguinary outbreak spent thirty years of his life in Siberia. Recently there was said to be living in the vil­ lage of Vank (Saratof government) an Armenian aged 110, the proud ancestor of ninety-one descendants, of whom seventy-one were still living. His name was David Kazarian. Another Armen­ ian. a priest named Ter-MIkaeliantz, was reported not long ago to be living nt Gori In the Caucasus at the age of 198.

The results of factory inspection in the State of Michigan during the year 1806 are detailed in the annual report of the. Commissioner of I-nbor. There were2.991 manufacturing places rWttsd during the year, which if ■ decremw of 14d from the number inaj»cetr<l in 1893. lhe cause of the decrease is due to the necessity of bringing the year’s work to a close earlier than usual In order that the report might be prepared by Commissioner Morse, whom- term of office expired with the month of February. For the convenience of the department the State is divided into five inspection districts. In lhe first 90t» factories were riaitrd. in the second <528. in the third 725, in the fourth 396 am! In the fifth 342. Out of the total of 2.991 factories Inspected 2,572'were running am! 419 were idle. The numlier of factories running on full time was 2.187 and <«n part time 385. By rea­ son of the factories running on short time a loss of WMH hours each week is figured bv the inspectors. This-means a loss to lalvor of 306 days each day. or 15JL378 days per year. The fiauancial loss is com- . puted nt J194.8O4 per year, figuring each day’s labor at fl.23, the average wages paid all factory employes in the State in 18941 A still greater Ions is computed frota the failure of the factories to be op­ era ted nt their full capacity, the aggregate financial loss being $18,745,163. The number of male employes nt the date of the inspection was 87,027 and of females 14;026, a total of 101.053. The numlier of factories employing females was 884, nnd the number employing chil­ dren over 14 nnd under 16 was 315, then? being 1.444 children between the age* named employed. Thirty-seven factories were found where in the aggregate sixtysix children under the age of 14 years were employed. . , The aggregate monthly pay rolls in the factories inajiecUMl were $3,237,082, the average monthly pay roll $1,258.82. the average jier capita per year for employes $384.48. Over 2,000 factories allow 60 minutes for dinner, while 5<M allow less time. The. average hours per day requir­ ed of mal<*s under 18 aud females under 21 is 9 4-5. a large majority of the fac­ tories requiring ten hours’ labor. Of the 2,572 factories inspected 856 had hoisting shafts and well holes propery guarded and secured, while but ten did not. Automatic trap doors or gates were provided by 430 out of 696 factories having elevators. The stairs were found properly guarded in 1.874 ont of 1.971) factories where stairs were used. The doors in 2.562 factories out of 2,672 were found to swing outward or slide where practicable. Fire escapes were provided by 462 factories out of 494 where they were deemi-d necessary. Shifters were used for throwing belts In 2.168 factories, nnd in 1.894 vats, pans nnd machinery were property guarded, while ih 194 there was found insuffiejent protection to em­ ployes. Dust arresters am! exhaust fans were found in nil but 35 of the factories where they were deemed necessary.’ All but 29 factories were supplied with suita­ ble wash rboms nnd closets. Changes were ordered by ina|Mietors in 609 fac­ tories. The record of accidents for the year 1896 is u favorable one. the whole number being 164, nnd the whole number of fatal nix-idcnts 14. Compared with 181*5, this is a decrease of 89 in the number of acci­ dents nnd of 29 in the number of fatali­ ties. In 1895 over 9(1 per cent of the factories Inspected were running, and about 82 per cent were running full time. In 1896 only a little over 86 per cent of the factories insiMM't<Ml were running, and only 73 per cent of them were runniug on full time. In 1895 the average wages jier capita was $L88 per day. while in 1WG it was $1.23. Commissioner Morse alludes to the fact that in the past few years the question of boiler inspection han been agitated, many persons claiming that boiler explo­ sions were often due to neglect canned by the engineers voluntarily absenting them­ selves from the vicinity of their engines, or lieing called upon to perform other du­ ties which necessarily took them away from their boilers. Quite often, it is said, the engineer is a man of all work in a factory by reason of expertneu in caring for machinery. During the past year the factory inqM-etora found out of 2,991 fac­ tories visited 1,503 using steam power, 46 using water and steam and 599 using oth­ er kinds of power. The number of boilers in use was 2.946. having nn aggregate honie power of 212,751, the average horse powgr for each factory being 71%. The number of engineers etnidoyed was 1.662. and the nttmber of factories requiring other work of their engineers was 1.036. In 27 factories inexpcricneed persona were found caring for engines and boilers. In view of these discoveries the Labor Coinniissioner says there is apparently an increased <lrmnti<! for.a law providing for a rigid ItMipwtion of steam-boilers. It ia believed tlmt , State inspection wou*^l>e bettor than municipal inspection, although the latter in large cities, it is thought, would answer very well. The inspection might well be made a part of factor}- inspection, but in any caw only well-known exjx-rtB should be employed ns inspectors. A racxlrnitc fee to Im* paid by owners would meet the expenses of inspeftioh and the publication of reports. The eomtnixsioiM-rsuggests thnt hi con­ nection with thgTroiler inspection tliere should l»e an <i<amiaation of engineers. Too many men who are incompetent and Irresponsible, it is declared, are ent rusted with the duties of engineers, and if these men are charged with other dntiea, too. it is hardly to be wondered nt that accidents iM-cur. Fndotibtrtlly, it la said, the Jx-gis- , luture should provide for a thorough sys­ tem of boiler inspection. Commissioner Morse says there ia no adequate provision in tly law for the in­ spection of bait** shops. nu<l white there are many fine establishments in the State, there arc also others so conducted that no one ought to ent their product. lnsj>wtten similar to that provided in several other States is suggested.

Tiic chief item of American commerce with Cuba," the chief item of importa­ tion from Cuba into the United State*, is, of course, sugar, and thia item has fallen off about one-half. From 1895 to 1890 the importation of sugar Into the United States fell off /rum 1..800.000,000 to 980,­ 000,000 pounds, from $40,000,000'to $21.­ 000,000.

Among the benvlrat losers in the moun­ tains are the lutnber.4nen. who hare lost thousands of dollars* worth of timber. It has been raining for a week. The people have been forced to seek shelter on the mountains. Rejwrts from Jackson nnd other places up the north fork say there has Wn considerable loss of life and property. Mrs. Hutwll and little daugh­ ter were drowned in their house, which was washed from the mountain side In Breathitt County. Two men whose names could not be learned were drowned in one of the streams in Bell County. In Frank­ fort the Kentucky river is away out of its banks. Families in the west end are be­ ing moved from their houses in Iwata. For seventy-two hours, a steadyrain fell over the entire area of the immense watershed of the Ohio valley, with the ex­ ception of the mountainous jtortions of western New York and weateyn Pennsyl­ vania. Considerable alarm is felt ip Cin­ cinnati over the rapid ri®> of the Ohio river. A stage of forty-five feet indicates the danger point. The river bad reached forty-four feet nnd was rising at the rate of seven inches per hoar. Reports from all the tributaries tell of floods. At Charlestown. W. Va., the steady rain for two days put the Khnawha and Elk rivers above the danger line. The lower part .of the city is flooded, and many people had to move out of their homes. Blizzard In Winconain. Advice* from northern Wisconsin are In effect that a violent snowstorm raged nil day 'and that railway and other traffic is practically suspended. At Black River Falls, the snow is fifteen feet deep on a level/ Plainfield highways are blockaded and all business is suspended. A cyclone struck near Benwood, north of Brazil. Ind., leaving ruin in its wake. The path of the storm wns 100 yards wide and three miles in length. Trees were torn-up and carried for miles through tjie air. feneda were lifted and strewn over the county aud small buildltgs were caught up ami twisted into splinters. Two large stock barns on the farm of M. A. Johnson & Co. were lifted clear of their foundations nnd whirled and twisted through the air, being deposited in debris for several miles along the path of the cyclone. One barn was filled with live stock, but the animals were left standing and unhurt. The storm took the top from a buggy occupied by nn employe, and car­ ried it two miles, doing no harm to the man or his horse. Much other damage was done by the storm. TO FIGHT BIG STORES.

This cablegram called for a reply from the department, in which Consul General was instructed to make a prompt and full investigation.

But. on account of the manifest interest of the people and their desire to know what will be done, I deem it best now to make the following announcement: "When Senator Sherman resigns to enter the cabinet of President McKinley, I will Sunday morning, when Mrs. Harrison pre­ sented her distinguished husband widj a daughter, weighing eight and three-quar­ ter pounds.

They have al! felt the tierce competition of these big com­ bination houses downtown, ami have real­ ized they cannot compete in the matter of prices. They dedare that public pol­ icy. demands the niwlition of lhe big stores. Through the device introduced years ago by E. J. Ix*hman different lines of trade were combined under one roof, and a single bigh-prh'ed man could man­ age all of them. Cheap salesmen and cheaper girls, it ia alleged, took the pjnee of the competent clerks, s«» that expenses were greatly reduced, ami prices could be ent down accordingly. It is well known that the department stores sell hats cheap­ er than the hat stores, stoves cheaper than the stove stores, silks cheaper than the silk stores, books cheaper than the book stores, nnd tlmt eveTy independent house in every conceivable line suffers in the struggle. Modern department stores sell practically everything. They have added photograph galleries, physicians, lawyers, dentists nnd even manicures to their multitude of regular lines,-and rep­ resentatives of those businesses have at last organized in opposition. Against the assertion that a man has a right to run as many lines of trade as be wants to they reply that the whole laxly of the pub­ lic is damaged; that real estate-values are confused: that good salesmen are thrown out of work: that child labor is encourag­ ed. with all its posxibly hurtful incidents, and that the general public in the'long run jftys more for its goods than It would in the old way. when each separate Mne of goods was displayed in a separate store. A big meeting of retail merchants was held at the Sherman House and an organ­ ization perfected for the * promotion of the anti-department store bill now ‘before the Illinois Legislature. The chief reli­ ance of the leaders in the movement is what is called the cumulative tax system. They hold that a tax should be levied ou each line of business. If a man wants to engage In a single line of trade, let him pay a tax of $100 to the city. If he wants to manage two separate and distinct lines, let him double the fee. Here is the pro­ posed scheme of taxation: Dept License.

A third res­ olution. by Mr. Hill, of New York, was agreed to. requesting the tferretary of State for the <*orre*ipondrn<*r with Consul General l»re relative to Americalrs im­ prisoned its Cuba. A M'nsnrional rpbiodtt occurred late hi tin* day during the cousidrnition of the Indian bill. Several of the New England Senators hnd criticised various items. This nrouset! Mr. Petti­ grew. in charge of the bill, to-some caus­ tic reciials of barbarities prncflcrd against Indians in Mnssni-hnsette in the early dnys. Mr. Hoar defended his State, and nmid impressive silence arraigned Mr. Pettigrew, n. New Englander by birth, fnr “Iwfouling the nest in which be was born.” I.ittle progress was made on the Indian hill, and Mr. Allison warned the Senate that the status of appropriation bills was most dangerous. Heproscntative Sulzer, of New York. Thursday introduced a bill in the House declaring war between Sjmin and her colonics nnd the United States. A reso­ lution calling on the President for all in­ formation concerning the treatment of American prisoners in Cubn was adopted. The Senate was storm-swept by such pas­ sionate debate, mteh extraordinary dem­ onstrations In the. t^owded galleries and such frantic personal exchanges between the conspicuoim figures of the Senate as to make the day one of the most memora­ ble in the aniMils of the upper branch of Congress. Cuba was-the theme nnd it seemed tt» call forth nil lhe (•ent-up emo­ tions of months. It brought aboutstho complete displacement of appropriation bill*, threatening their failure, and the a.dvunectnent of the Cuban question to the very front of Senate business. Cuba wns again n topic in the Senate Friday, from 1 to 4:3H o’dock; but the debate upon the Rangtrily and Agguirre resolutions wns comparatively spiritle«M. nu«l resulted in no definite action.

The amendment a* finally agreed to gives the United States exclusive jurisdiction over all civil and criminal case*, almlisjiing the uative courts.’ Two additional judges are pro­ vided for the territory. The bill was then pninter! The House passed tbe Senate interimtiounI monetary cotifrrenee hill by a vote of 279 to 3. -It wns Ktipportod alike by Republicans, silver Itepublirans. gold Democrats agd silver Demrwrats. Bills were also passed to provide for the arbi­ tration of difference* between the carriers of interstate commerce nnd tbeir raiployca (known u* the Erdman bill), and the Sen­ ate bill to prevent the itaportatiou of im­ pure lea. There was a majority of three to one ngniust ticket sculping when u vote wns tnken in the House Satarrlny on the bill reported from the <'ommitt>*<* on Inter­ state and Foreign Cnmmerra. Mr. Sher­ man. chairman of the Committee on In­ dian Affairs, moved that the House non­ concur in the Senate amendments to the ! Indian appropriation bill ami agree to a conference. The motion was carried ami the bill was sent to conference. In the Senate Mr. Daniel presented certified copies of the naturalization papers of Julio Sanguilly. and hnd them printed, with ex­ tracts from the law showing their regular­ ity. Mr. Chamller made a statement ns to the Loud bill; saying the committee had concluded thnt it was imjMissitik* to have any legislation on the subject at the present session, nnd that a commission should be created to investigate seeomlclnss mail matter. The usual Sundny qniet of the capital building was disturb­ ed by n session of the Senate, made nec­ essary to pass the appropriation bills. The attendance of Senatont was even greater than that through the week. By a jmrliumcntnry fiction the session was a part of the legislative day beginning Saturday, n recess haring been taken at 2*JW o'clock in the morning until 3 p. m. The sundry civil appropriation bill received its finishing tuuchbs. and was passed.

The number on Pyramid lake and Walker river reservation is placed at 2.500.

THIRTY-FIVE BAILORS DROWNED Tbe-German tauk steamer Diamant, bound from Bremerhaven for New York and Philadelphia, has foundered at sea, and her crew of thirty-five men are drown­ ed. ’Hie steamer Galileo arrived in Bos­ ton six days late, ami brought the news that the steamer had gone to,the bottom. Captain Booth reports picking up the Diamant helpless in mid-ocean on Feb. 1<I, £tid towing her <100 miles, only to lose ber in a-hurricane, In which she stood no show of surviving. The Diamant had lost her propeller, nnd had been helpless for sev­ eral days when picked up by the Galileo. After seveh days' effort tojnake Halifax harbor with a disabled steamer, a storm sprung up. the hawsers snapped, and tbe vessel was soon lost to sight. The Galileo hovered about for eighteen hours, but her officers did not we the Diamant again, nnd there is no doubt in their minds, that she foundered. • The great flood has done its worst in the vicinity of Pittsburg, and the waters are now receding. A cold wave, which come up suddenly, broke tbe buck of the flood nnd the rej>orts from all |>olnts t»etween Pittsburg and the headwaters indicate that all danger has passed. The rivers reached a higher stage than at -any time since 1884. The Monongahela registered 29 feet 6 inches, nnd the Allegheny 30 feet ft inches, and after remaining stntionnhf for several hours began slowly to recede. Hardly a point'in the Mononga­ hela valley frpm Fairmont to Pittsburg escaped damage by the flood, and in mnny £>aces the high-water mark was covered. Mills, built supposedly out of harm’s way. were submerged. Works along the river were shut down nnd workmen forced to flee from the rising tide. The damage can only l»e approximated, but It Is not less than $1,500,000 in the Monongahela val­ ley. From the headwaters of Youghiogheuy also came a torrent thnt brought with it destruction to valuable property. Railroads were unable to more trains, in some places the traces being so far be­ low the surface that only the tops of gondola cars were visible. Beneath sev­ eral feet of muddy watcr and debris there are millions of dollars* wo>th of valuable machinery. What ruin has been wrought cannot be told until the waters recede. Eighteen lives hove been lost. These are nearly all distributed through West Vir­ ginia and Kentucky towns. Steamahip Line Talked Of.

TO END LEADVILLE STRIKE. Letriaiatirc Committee Recommends ■ Arbitration Hoard. The legislative committee aptsrinted to investigate the Leadville strike submitted n report which was, to say i.ie least, a great surprise to the mine owners. E. J. Dewar, secretary of the la*ndville Miners* I’tilon, says the committee’s, conclusions are eminently satisfactory to the miners. The committee rerammends that a board of urbitration be appointed, two to be chosen by the mine owners and two by the miners, the fif.h to Ih» chosen by the four. Whatever decision this board of arbitra­ tion shall arrive nt must be binding on both sides, nnd an ngrveinrtit to that effect must l>e signed beforehand. To facilitate this much-desired end the committee st«e mils an agreement >n full, which will be the bone of contention In'twcen the oppos­ ing factions. It provides in the first place that the scale of wages in force immedi­ ately before the strike shall tie ivmceded by the mine owners and shall remain in force until .the board of arbitration shall have arrived at u decision. The proi>osed agreement also provides thnt the mine owners shall recognize labor unions, and that meiuliers of unions and non-union men shrill work aide l»v side. Further, it is provided that no atrtke or lockout shall be declared by a labor organization or by an organization of employers unless by secret Imllut. The proi>ose<i agreement makes a further proviso that no strike or lockout shall Ik* declared on foreign ialmr imported without both sides submitting their grievances to the arbitration commiller, and 'hat mine owners shall not discriminate against a man because he is n memlMT of a lalror union. All differ­ ences regarding the future scale of wages must Im* submitted to the arbitration board. FONSDEVIELA BAID TO BE,GUILTY 8 pan lab Governor Charcct! with Mur­ do* of r, Rutz.

This, says West Kentucky Farmer, Is so because of the fact that In his farm work lie looks more to general results. But when he comes down to work ou a smaller •eale he finds things quite different. It ia only recently that a committee took upon Itself to investigate somewhat as to what waa actually being done on some of the small truck farms near one of our large cities, and they reported that one farm of forty acres yielded an­ nually $16,(XK) worth of fruits and vege­ tables; another-of six acres yielded $6,000; another of ninety acres yielded $20,000, nnd another of twenty acres returned $8,000. These figures repre­ sent good receipts, but even after mak-, ing reduction’s for fertilisers and other necessary expenditures, tbe net returns, although not stated, were no doubt handsome. Apart, however, from the profit*, from exclusive truck fanning, the garden acre on the farm can be made an important item In the domestic economy of the home.

Don'-t throw away old wheels; they ran be put io as good use, sometimes, as they were on the vehicles on whipb they were bought, as frequent and varied Illustrations In Farm and Home each month have shown.

Tbe barrel witeelbarrow.is sim­ ply a barrel on wheels, tmlanced so that irwnTtip easily. The hooks in front are for a shovel and hoe to hang on. For many purposes this is better for farm work than are ordinary wheel­ barrows. A heavier load can lie car­ ried. The wheel reel for fence wire is made by taking two wheels of a light wagon attached to their axle. Place four pieces of board through the wheels at regular Intervals and wire to the felloes. It -makes a large and conven­ ient wire or cordage reel. These con­ veniences can be made during early spring so as to be ready for the drat out­ door work.

In an Item In last week’s News we stated that D. L. Smith, of Battle Creek, was preparing to move to Nashville. This was a mistake, as we have since learned; hence we make the correction. ’ Judge Lilllbrldge of Detroit decided ' last Saturday that Hazen S. Pingree could bold the two offices of Mayor of Detroit and governor of Detroit at the same time. The case, however, will go to the supreme court this week.

Tbe evening's entertainment given at the opera house last Friday night by Wm. R. Moes was distinctively bad —most emphatically a dlamaT failure. There are a half dozen of our own peo­ ple who* can give a better entertain­ ment. A Claud Price and Ellen Nesbitt were joined In holy wedlock last Saturday night at tbe home of W. I. Marble, by Esq.

The republican ^electors will notice that lhe ticket as presented by the commit loners and published In this issue is not exactly as made at the caucus. The changes were necessi­ tated by F. W. Knol’ and C. F. WHkinaon having resigned from the posi­ tion u? which selected by the caucus. In tbe February Ladies’ Home Jour­ nal Mox von Binzer writes of his ex­ perience as "A Page at the Berlin Court” upon the occasion of a double royal wedding, aud of the preceding and succeeding festivities. Describing an ancient and currous custom, be writes: "And now (after the wedding dinner and ball) came the ‘Fackeltauz.’ Several of tbe highest officials entered the hall with flaming torches. A pro­ cession was formed with tbe bride in the midst. A number of complicated polonaise figures were then executed, after which tbe line closed about the bride and groom and marched out ns es­ cort to the bridal chambers. “As the doors of the bridal apart­ ments closed upon the happy pair we found ourselves immediately next tbe entrance. We waited expectantly for the next feature, bedding our advan­ tageous position with some difficulty. In a few moments the door flew open and half a thousand silken garters with the monogram* embossed on the gold buckles were thrown out by the ladies of honor. Court etiquette waa for the once forgotten—generals, courtiers, chamberlains and state ministers scrambled and fought with one an­ other for these memento*. But we pages, rest assured, got the lion's share. I have several of these souvenirs now, although many were given away by me that night to beseeching dignitaries.'* BOARDED CAT THIRTEEN YEARS. Langhorne and Bristol, says the Phil­ adelphia Record, are only (Ire-miles apart, and yet it sometimes takes two •ays for a letter mailed in one town to reach its destination In the other. The mail goes off by way of Philadel­ phia, making the entire distance in transit about 40 miles. The pest offices at I-anghorne and Eden are only 500 yards apart, and yet a -tetter from one of these offices to the other must travel 5C miles, via Philadelphia. This, how­ ever, is eclipsed by a letter which the late William Kinzey, of* Bristol, re­ ceived shortly before his death. This letter had been addressed to Bristol, R. L. and readdressed to Bristol, Pa. It Thirteen years ago a well-to-do fam­ ily ot Athens moved to a farm west of Union City, Mich. On leaving, ths two younger children disliked to leave be­ hind a family of kittens with which they had become acquainted, and on a subsequent visit to the old home suc­ ceeded in smuggling to the new home their old friends. The, father discovered the cats after awhile and began a process of execu­ tion. The younger of the children did not like the performance and picked up tbe “Old White" and went to the neighbors, where lie contracted board The matter was forgotten until just recently, when the person wbo boarded the cat contracted with the boy for some pigs, and on delivery was pre­ sented with a statement of board for a cut for 13 years at two cents per week.

The people could see th*; pantomime enacted, but only the favored few in the immediate vicinity could hear the words; then a cannon shot was* heard. This marked the beginning of the term of William McKinley as President, and in•tsofty n tremendous cheer went up.

The great spectacular 'feature of the day's ceremonies was of course the Inau­ gural parade, which started on italine of march immediately after President Mc­ Kinley had concluded tbe reading of bis inaugural address. It was under the com­ mand of Gen. Horace Porter, as-chief marshal, and embraced, besides the regu­ lar army, representative bodies of State militia, headed by the various Governors, and civid and political organizations. The line of march of the parade was longer than usual—full four miles in fact —made so to ease the pressure of spec­ tators upon the line in the central section of the city and to Insure the maintenance of the line-unbroken. Told in a Few Lincs. entecn sovereign States had their citizens in the line of parade and over sixty civil organizations helped swell its magnificent proportions. Along the broad avenue, on every open space, were erected grand ^tands that, instead of being disfigurements to the acene, as has been the case in days gone by—mere scaffolds of rough Itoards—were not only comfortably covered and of pret­ ty architectural design, but were most ap­ propriately and substantially decorated. ^529999999999999999999999999999999^ street to Pennsylvania avenue and to the White -House.

Then* have been many inaugurations in Waoliington, but in many respects that of March 4, 1897. will go down in history as excelling all that have gone before. The citizens of the capital city worked to that end with a degree of energy unknown, and the great popular demonstration was a unique and ahiniug success in every particular.

' Bar twenty-ons Senators were present at tbe session of tbe Senate, therefore no at­ tempt was made to take up the Tcnnrasce resolution for the Michigan exhibit at tbe exposition. It went on the table, to be taken up later. It did not take tbs Senators thirty minutes to clear away their devotional exercises, present batches of grange petitions and pass two bills, one for the repeal of the act for tbe collection of cereal statistics, the other for tbe re­ peal of tbe act for the collection of sta­ tistical information relative to deaf, dumb, blind and insane. The trip of some of the legislators to XX'sshington left a noticeable vacancy in the seats of the House Tuesdsy, but few ‘faces were missed from the Senate. Th*Senate passed two measures: To legalixa certain sewer assessments of Negaunee; and for the incorporation of homes for aged, infirm or indigent men or women. Bills passed the House as follows: Per­ mitting the bonding of Chippewa County for $40,000, imm**diute effect; authoriziag Tawas City to issue bonds for $4,800. Im­ mediate effect: prohibiting life and acci­ dent insurance companies from taking ma­ rine or fire risks; for service of "Circuit Court processes upon corporations; for care of insane persons at Kent County insane asylum; barring dower right of insane women; providing that townships and citiea in St. Clair County take care of their own poor.

Hereto­ fore, without exception, the contestant has been seated whenever his politics was In accord with the majority. iDideclaring neither party entitled to the seat, and leaving the people to decide the question nt the approaching election, a novel way out of the difficulty has been employed. Both Representative Baird and Contest­ ant Kerr are allowed $2U0. The House passed many bills, all of a local character. Ixx?al measures occupied the greater Jimo of the Senate. To such an extent was this true that Senator Thompson was led to remark that when the Senate was not engaged in authorizing some town of 500 or 800 to bond itself for ?4o,000 or so, though he did not see where they could dispose of their bonds, that the august body was engaged in legislation of the af­ fairs of the animal kingdom. He thought at least two-thirds of the time of the Senate should l»c given up to legislation for the human kind. The bill for a bounty of $15 on wolves was then under discus­ sion. Thotnpoon declared that tbe bill should really be termed a measure for the fostering of the wolf industry. He de­ clare*! for a bounty on twins or triplets rather than little wolves. Both houses of the legislature Thurs­ day adopted resolutions congratulating President McKinley on his inauguration and pledging his administration unquali­ fied support. Every silver Senator made an address in support of the resolutions. The Senate killed the bill to repeal the law providing for the taxation of real estate mortgages. The vote was close and the bill may pass later. The House unseat­ ed James Kerr, member from the Second district of Saginaw County, nnd ordered a new election to fill the vacancy on April 5.

They felt compelled to adopt this policy iH-causf of the condition of the treasury, and they have generally adher­ ed to U. nlttiough the regular appropria­ tion bill* for-the support of the Govern­ ment have brought the total appropria­ tion* of this Congress well up to the billion mark. . Many of the appropriations, notably those tor river nnd harbor improvement* and for public buildings, were necessary to continue work* authorised by other Congresses. No public buildings have been started by this session, and no new battleships or vessels of any description, although the creation of a “new navy.” begun several y<*ars ago, has by no means been abandoned. The intention of the House leaders at the beginning of the ses­ sion was to confine the work, so far a* possible, to the appropriation bills, and they have been successful in living up to their policy. These bills, moreover, have been cumbered with fewer new project* and les* general legislation than usual. Necessarily the policy of the House to avoid new legislation which involved ex­ penditures ha* been enforced upon the Senate. The Nicaragua canal bill, which wa* discussed nt great length in the Sen­ ate, but not voted on, was not taken up In the House, nor was the free home bill, which the Senate passed, given a hearing at the other end of the capitoL The Pacific Railroad funding bill met a decisive defeat in the House, so the Sen­ ate found it unelesti to discuss that propo­ sition. One feature of the session’s rec­ ord worthy, of no’e is the great number of private pension bills passed, many of them placing the widows of officer* on the pen­ sion roll* at ratings ranging from $30 to $75 a month. Private claims and war claims, on the other hand, have been few. Several of the pension bills were vetoed by President Cleveland, but Congress en­ acted some of these, despite the veto, by the necessary two-thirds majority. The immigration bill establishes an ed­ ucational test for immigrants and bars out laborers who maintain their homes iu other countries. One act written upon the statute books this session is noteworthy as being the work practically of one man. That is the net to reduce the cases in which the pen­ alty of death may be inflicted, n move­ ment to which Gen. Curtis t»f New York lias devoted the best efforts of his congrewional career. The abolition of the death jiennlty hn« been a long cherished enthusiasm with Gen. Cnrti*. Now, after yean* of agitation of the subject, he has succeeded in erasing from the statute books all United State* law* imposing the death penalty for other crime* than murder, rape, treason or piracy, and en­ dowed juries with the power to stipulate whether or not capital punishment shall be inflicted for these crimes. An agitation by dramatists, composer* nnd theatrical manager* ha*Te*ulted in securing a law nt this session fixing heavy penalties for public performance* of copy­ righted dramatic or musical composition* nnd empowering all United State* Circuit Courts to enforce the order* of any such «-ourt regarding these performances. The interstate commerce laws have been ex­ tended to prevent traffic in ob»cene litera­ ture or articles designed for immoral uses. The shipping laws have been amended to enable yachts belonging to American or foreign clnb* to enter or clear from the customs house* without tonnage taxes, also to require naphtha or electric boats of more than fifteen tons burden to be subjected to all requirement* for inspec­ tion* nnd for pilots audengineers. A new law’compels the lunuo and draft of every registered vessel to be marked on the stern and bow. New regulation* have been made for the compensation of Inspectors penses. All persona who make signal ex­ ertions in rescuing a wrecked ship or n drowning person are. under a law of thia session, eligible for the life-saving medals which formerly were given only to the life­ saving crew men. The friends of the Tennessee centen­ nial exposition o' 1807 have succeeded in securing an appropriation of $140,000 for a Government building and exhibit, while the Nebraska delegation is working to se­ cure a like recognition for the Omaha ex­ position. One of the most important pieces of public land legislation permit* the patent­ ing of lands containing petroleum or other mineral oils under the mineral land laws. Another extends to Jan. 1. 1899. the time in which purchases may be made of tbe railroad grant lamia forfeited to the Gov­ ernment under tbe net of 1899, nnd an­ other confirms cash entries which have been declared invalid because the lands entered were never offered for sale. Other acts confirm the title* of settlers in Greer County, Oklahoma: Mississippi settlers on swamp lands in the grants of tbe Mobile and Ohio Railroad, and settlers on some 80.000 acre* in Louisiana. Among the acta of the session relating to the courts were these: Fixing tbe fees in the Circuit Court of Appeals; with­ drawing from the Supreme Court juris­ diction of criminal cases not capital and giving it to the Circuit Court of Appeals; directing the filing of mortgages on In­ dian territory property In the judicial dis­ trict hi which the property is located when the mortgagor Is a non-resident; consti­ tuting n new division of the eastern judi­ cial district of Texas; attaching Audrain County to tbe eastern judicial district of Missouri. of deputy marshals in tbe Indian terri­ tory sworn in between March 1, 1885, nnd April 15, 1896, when the law was defec­ tive; an act providing heavy penalties for selling intoxicants to Indians; an act authorising the Secretary of the Interior to use the abandoned Fort Bidwell in California for an Indian training school, and one to enable the town of Flagstaff, Aris., to issue $65,0U0 0 per cent bonds to construct a water system. Military acta were passed authorizing the conferring on officers of the regular national soldier*’ home*. Life saving stations have been provided; for at Point Arena, Mendocino County,. California. Great Boar's Head, New Hampshire, and one on the Maryland' coast between Fenwick Island and Ocrsra City. A surrey ba* been authorized fara water route from the mouth of tbe jet­ ties nt Galveston, Tex., through tbe abi^ channel and up Buffalo bayou to Houstoa. Right of way fan* been granted the Mus­ kogee, Oklahoma and Western Railroad through the Indian territory and Okla- . horn*, and the Eastern Nebraska and Gulf Railway Company through the Omaha and Winnebago Indian reservation* ia Nebraska. The time for completing the Ea*t river bridge between New York City and Long Island has been extended to Jan. 1, 1900.__________________ PROFITS OF THE SUGAR TRUST, In the trust investigation now going os in New York nothing more astonishing has been produced In the testimony than the evidence of the enormous profits of the big combines.

According to Mr. Havemeyer, of the to­ tal profit* made in the sugar refining busi­ ness in this country from 75 to 80 per cent goc* to the American Refining Company —that is, to the sugar trust. Consequent­ ly the trust pocketed about 32 out of the 42 million* for profit in 1896. The face value of the stock on which the trust.pays dividends ia 75 million dol­ lars. Mr. Havemeyer admits that thevniue of tbe property represented by that stock is less than 20 millions. It is prob­ able that the organizers of the trust have made something like 50 million* by ped­ dling out their watered stock to the gen­ eral public. The dividend* paid on that stock are outrageously high. On the basis of tbecnpitnl invested they are colossal. A pro­ fit of 32 millions is made on an invest­ ment of less tnnn 20 millions. Such a profit would be Impossible if the trust did not, in defiance of law, monopolize the sugar refining industry of the United States, which has a population pf 72 mill­ ion sugar consumers.

Tbe decision of Greece to defy tbe powers is confirmed on all sides.

Nothing will prosner in Greece until the question is definitely settled. The autonomy of Creta Is out of the question, because the Cretans reject it and have lost faith In tbe promises of the powers. They prefer to die in their own defense rather than be slaughtered like the Armenians. The recall of the Greek troops from Crete would mean the signal for new massacres on a large scale, owing to tbe fierce fanati­ cism of the Mussulmans, who see they have the support of the nix great powers, since the latter covered the Turkish at­ tack ou the Christians and shelled the victorious Cretans, who were fighting for freedom and the cross, and at a moment when the Turks were, compelled to retire.” Premier Delyannis ia reported to have re­ iterated that the Greek troops would not be withdrawn from Crete and to have ex­ pressed the fear that national clamor would compel the Government to invade .Turkey. Greece, he is quoted as haring added, had not accepted the scheme for the autonomy of Crete which had been proposed by the powers.- The premier asked that a plebiscite of tbe Cretans be taken and declared that Greece would pre­ fer to disappear from the map rather than withdraw- her forces from Crete in the face of threats.

The experiment is. at all events, worth a trial, and. in ray opinion, it can but prove beneficial to the entire country. International Bimetallism. The question of international bimetal­ lism will have early and earnest attention. It will be my constant endeavor to secure it by co-opcrntion with the other great commercial powers of the world. Until that condition is realized when the parity between our gold and silver money springs r from and ia supported by the relativo. V.yalue oX-the two metals, the value of the ■liver already coined nnd of that which may hereafter be coined must be kept constantly at par with gold by every re­ source at our command. The credit of the Government, the integrity of its currency and the inviolability of its obligations must be preserved. This was tbe com­ manding verdict of the people and it will not Im* unheeded. Economy ia demanded in every branch of the Government at all times, but espe­ cially in periods like the present depres­ sion of business nnd distress ninoiig the people. The severest economy must be observed in all public expenditures, and extravagance stopped wherever it is found and prevented wherever in the, future it may be developed. If the revenues nre to remain as now, the only relief that can come must be from decreased expendi­ tures. But the present must not become the permanent condition of the Govern­ ment. It has been our uniform practice to retire, not increase, our outstanding obligations, nnd this policy must again be resumed and vigorously enforced. Our revenues should always be large enough to meet with ease and promptness not only our current needs nnd the principal and Interest of the public debt, but to make proper and lllieral provision for that most deserving body of public creditors, the soldiers and sailors, and tbe widows and orphans who are tbe pensioners of the United States. The Government should not be per­ mitted to run behind, or increase its debt. In times like tbe present. Buifablx,t» pro­ vide against this is tbe mandate cl duty; the certain and easy remedy for most of our financial difficulties. A deficiency I* Inevitable so long as the expenditures of the Government exceed its receipts. It can only be met by loans, or an incensed revenue. While a large annual surplus of revenue may invite waste aud extrava­ gance. inadequate revenue creates dis­ trust. and undermines public nnd private credit. Neither should be encouraged. Bet wren more loans and more revenue, there ought to be but one opinion. We should have more revenue, and that with­ out delay, hindrance or postponement. A surplus in the treasury created by Joans is not a permanent or safe reliance. It will suffice while it lasts, but it cannot last long while the outlays of the Govern­ ment are greater than its receipts, as has been the case during the last two years. Nor must it be forgotten that, however much such loans may temporarily relieve tbe situation, tbe Government Is still In­ debted for the amount of tbe surplus thus accrued, which it must ultimately pay, while its ability to pay is not strengthen­ ed, bdt weakened, by a continued deficit. Loans are Imperative in great emergen­ cies to preserve tbe Government or Its credit, but a failure to supply needed revenue in time of peace for the mainte­ nance of either has no justification. Let-ger Revenuea Necsaaary. The best way for tbe Qvvvrament to tiny, and to tbe honor o> the American name. These years of glorious history have exalted mankind and advanced the cause of freedom throughout the world nnd immeasurably strengthened the pre­ cious free Institutions which We enjoy. The people low and will sustain these institutions. The great essential to our happiness and prosperity is that we ad­ here to the principles- upon which the Government was established nnd insist upon their faithful observance. Equality of rights mjist prevail and our laws be always nnd everywhere respected and obeyed. We may have failed in the dis­ charge of our full duty as eitlzeris of the great republic, but it is consoling and encouraging to realise that free speech, a free press, free thought, free schools, the free and unmolested right of ndigiom* liberty and worship and free and fair elections ore dearer and more universally enjoyed to-day than ever before. These guarantees must be sacredly pre­ served and wisely strengthened. The constituted authorities must be cheerfully nnd vigorously upheld. Lynching* must' not be tolerated in a gre^t and civilised country like the United States; courts— not mobs-amust execute the penalties of the law. The preservation of public or­ der, the right of discussion, the integrity of courts, and the orderly administration of justice must continue forever the rock of safety upon which our Government securely rests. . One of the lessons taught by the late election, which ail enn rejoice in. is that the citixens of the United States nre both lew-respecting and law-abiding people, not easily swerved from the path of pat­ riotism nnd honor. This ia in entire ac­ cord with the genius of onr institutions, and but emphasises the advantages of inculcating even a greater love for law and order in the future. Immunity should be granted to none who violate the laws, whether individuals, corporations or com­ munities; and as the Constitution Im­ poses upon the Preaident the duty of bothits own execution nnd of the statutes en­ acted in pursuance of Its provisions, I shall* endeavor carefully to carry them into effect. Naturalization and ImtnlRratlon. ed with them tbe settlement of their own domestic concerns. It will be our aim W pursue a frnu nnd dignified foreign policy, which shall be just, impartial, ever watch­ ful of onr national honor and always in­ sisting upon the enforcement of the lawful rights of American citizen* everywhere. Our d1fck>mary should seek nothing more and accept nothing less; we must avoid the ’temptation of territorial aggression. War should never be entered upon until every agency of pence has failed; peace is preferable to war in almost every con­ tingency. . Arbitration far the true method of set­ tlement of International as well as local or individual difference. It was recog­ nised ns the best means of adjustment of differences l>etwrrn employers aud em­ ploye* by the Forty-ninth Congress, in 1888. nnd Its application was extended to our diplomatic relations by the unanimous concurrence of the Senate and House of tbe Fifty-first Congress, in 1800. The latter resolution was accepted as the basis of negotiations with nn by the British House of Commons, in 1893, and upon our invitation a treaty of arbitration between tho United States and Great Britain wns signed nt Washington .nnd transmitted to tlie.Senate Tor its ratification, in Jan­ uary last. Since this treaty Is clearly the. result of our own initiative; since it has been recognised as the leading feature of our foreign policy throughout our entire national history—the adjustment of diffi­ culties by judieinL—.thoda rather thnn by force of arms—aud since it presents to the world the glorious example of reason nnd peace, not paskion and war, controlling the'relations between two of the greatest nations of the world, nn example certain to Im* followed by others. 1 respectfully urge the early action of the Senate there­ on, not merely as a matter of policy, but ns n duty to mankind. The importance.and moral influence of the ratification of such a treaty can hard­ ly be overestimated in tho cause of ad­ vancing civilization. It mny well engage the lH*st thought of the statcsjfien and people of every country. an<l 1 cannot but consider it fortunate that it was re­ served to the United States to have the leadership in so grand a work.

Youngsters Rounded Up by Manistee Police—Needed Re­ form in Building Inspection—Scasationsl Incident at a Funeral. Gang of Boy Robber*. The Manistee police made an important capture at Eastlalu*, unearthing a gang of alleged youthful robbers who have committed many depredations in Manistee during the past year. Frank Odette, Ed Loomis, James and Star Ferris are the members under arrest. Loomis acknowl­ edged all the crimes, the moat daring one of which was the holding up of two street «rs one night last summer and compell­ ing the conductors to give up their money. Plunder of every deacriptlon, revolvers, razors and watches were found on shelves and under the floor of a room in a barn at Eastlake, where Odette and I^omis slept. Every few weeks the past year some store in the city has been robbed. Loomis states that they would come across the lake in a boat and. mooring it in a secludeil spot, enter a store and then carry their plunder to the boat. Chief of Police Goodreau .was assisted by the sheriff and two officers. Hundreds of dollars' worth of merchandise was stolen by these robbers In their depredations. NIany articles they did not want were thrown into the lake. L«ck of Building Inspection. Concerning public buildings for which the law provides no Inspection, a recent report of the Commlsaioner of Labor say*: “There nre In Michigan hundreds of pub­ lic buildings, including hotels, public hall* and mercantile establishment*, that -nre veritable fire traps.

Many mercantile houses em­ ploy people on 'up|M*r floors. Very often goods of an inflammable nature are atored there for repacking or for future use. In case of accident creating a fire tbe hor­ rors of the Edson. Moore St Co. fire would be repeated.- If human live* are valued, the safety of people in nil public buildings should lay cared for.

It is conclud| cd that the law has bwn a success and that very little ill-feeling haa been en­ gendered by the cnforcenieiit.

There could be no better time to enforcement in the spirit in which it was put the Government upon a sound finanenacted. The purpose in view was to se- rial and economic basis than now. The people have only recently voted that tills should be done, and nothing is more bind­ ing upon the agents of their will than the obligation of immediate action. It has always seemed to me that tlie postponement of the meeting of Congress until more thnn a year after it has been chosen deprives Congress too often of the inspiration of the popular will nnd the country of the corresponding benefits. It is evident, therefore, that to postpone ac­ tion in the presence of so great a neces­ sity would be unwise on the part of the executive because unjust to the interests of tbe people. Onr actions now will t>c freer from mere partisan consideration than if the question of tariff revision wns postponed until the regular session of Congress.

While the Senate was in legislative session the credentials of Mr. Hanna as Senator from Ohio, to succeed Mr. Sherman, wen- pre­ sented by Mr. Foraker ami he wa* sworn in by Vice-President Hobart. Mr. Davis was also designated acting chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations to sneered Mr. Shrrmnn. Beyond the usual notification to the President, nothing fur­ ther was done. Most of $he new Senators were on-the floor when Vice President Hobart railed the Senate to order at noon Monday. The other Senators were not so prompt in making their appearance.

Mr. Gorman moved that the crcdentiala of Mr. Wood be referred to the Commit, tee on Privileges and Elections. Mr. Hoar did not object, and the cre­ dentials were referred. Then Mr. Hoar presented written notice of two proposed amendments to the rule* of the Senate of a radical nature. The mo«t important was. according to Mr. Hoar’s written notice, "to enable the Senate to act on legislation when It desires after reasonable debate." It provided that when any bill or resolution had.been un­ der consideration more than one day any Senator could demand thnt the debate be closed. If a majority of the Senator* *o decided there should be a vote without further delay and no action should be in order (lending the vote but one to ad­ journ or to take n recess. The other amendment (imposed was to prevent the interruption of the members of the Sen­ ate and provided that when a Senator made the point of "no quorum" there should be a roll call, and if the presence of n quorum was disclosed business should be proceeded with. On motion of Mr. Aldrich (Rep.), of Rhode Island, the Senate went into executive session at 12:15. At 12:40 p. m. the special session adjourned sine die. Told in a Few Line*.

Strawberries do well on almost any well drained soil, which Is free from frost, reasonably fertile, and not In­ fested with white grubs. There Is llttl? danger of making the soli too rich, but there is a possibility of Injur­ ing the plants with commercial ferti­ lize™. The best fertilizers are wellrotted manure, bone meal and wood ashes. ‘ The best method of preparing the soli is to plow In the fall, mulch with manure, and fit the ground In the spring with cultivator and harrow. The bpst time to set strawberry plants is in early spring. For matted rows the plants should be set eighteen Inches by four feet apart, and for hill*. one foot by three. In bill culYure the run­ ners arc all removed, and for the be*t resalts In matted rows a pan should be cut off, or some of the plants dug out. Generally. It Is trotter to keep a bed only one season, but If kept longer the best treatment is burning soon after fruiting. Winter protection should be given by mulching, and the best mate­ rial is swamp hay.—Ohio Experiment Station Report. Hedge*. Hodge* nre useful or detrimental ac­ cording to the way they are kept.

The story of the Borgia* and their hideous crimes bus found many literary forms, and probably do tale of the Mid­ dle Age* hna given more hints to the jxyet, the dramatist and the librettist than this ghastly period In Roman bis­ tory. Whether Lucrezin shared In the depravity of her brother and father, to the same extent thnt is commonly beHexed, Is n question. The extreme beauty of this woman and her reputa­ tion as a patron of the arts and litera­ ture have raised up for her many advo­ cates, but It must be confessed that their efforts, while honest and earnest, nre hardly adequate to the necessities Ok the ocraalon. for the Borgia* were "a bad lot," nnd If the annals of their time ore nt nil reliable, Lucrezla was one of the worst of the family. Clothes Line Without Any Pin*. A pinless clothes line is something which attracts the attention of every housewife. Any one who has ever hung up a washing, especially on a windy day, will appreciate the advan­ tages of such a line over the old one. This new clothes line is made of gal­ vanized steel spring wire, and Is there­ fore non-rusting, and Is made In link* one foot long, and when taken down can be folded together Into a small space. The clothe* are fastened on by drawing a small corner through the slot of the link about half an Inch. The link holds it fast, and the harder the wind blows the faster the link bolds. The clothe* are taken out ns easily as put In. The entire surface of the line is very smooth, so that garments donot adhere to It,-even being easily slipped OLD AND NEW WAY. I off when frozen.

To remove Ink marks nnd Iron mold stains place a plate on the top of a basinful of boiling water, spread the articles on the plate, wet the spot and rub It with a small quantity of salt of lemon. As the article dries the* stain will disappear. If one application Is not quite successful, repeat the opera­ tion. A small l)ox of salt of lemon should have a place In every house­ hold.

Labor Commissioner Morse gives some interest­ ing figure* .relative to the extent and character of the forest* now remaining in the State. The appropriation nt the dis­ posal »f the labor bureau would not per­ mit the Investigations to be conducted by its personal representatives, nnd the figurea given were obtained through the sup­ ervisor*. the questions being directed to ascertaining the acres of timber subdi­ vided into pine, hemlock and hardwood, and .the amount -of plain* nnd swamps .partly timbered. In connection with- the figures given Labor Commissioner .Morse, calls attention to the fact that many States are taking steps to preserve their remaining forest* from wanton destruc­ tion by fire, and if possible to promote new growth. This in undertaken under direc­ tion of officer* styled fire warden* and forestry commisniuns. The commissioner says: " Unqucstioqably Michigan, must give this matter attention in the near future, or the State, once second to none in amount and value of it* timber, will be nearly ns-treeless a* the prairie States. The Minnesota la tv for the preservation of her forests seems particularly applicable to Michigan, and is published id-full in this report for the benefit of those who nre taking an interest in this Important mat­ ter. This lost annual message of Gov. Rich invites the attention of thty Legtelature to.the matter of forestry and makes pertinent recommendations. I-and Com­ missioner French, also, in hi* Inst annual report calls attention to the practicability of ntilixing the cheap lands of the State for the reproduction of forests. There1 is very little doubt that nt a moderate ex­ pense a large amount ot tend now almost valueless may be made to yield valuable returns in the uot remote.fftturc?’ The reports of the su|xTvisoni regarding the amount of the forests in their respective townships fill over 100 pages of the report, and the conditions in each township are accurately described. At the conclusion is a tabulated statement giving the totals for the counties nnd the State. The num­ bey of surveyed townships and fractions of townships in the JJtate is 1,859. The number of acres of standing hardwood is given nt 6,166,977; of standing pine, at 775,208; hemlock, 1.468,166; of plains partly covered with bushes nnd scattering trees. 5,660,810; of swamps partly cover­ ed with small timber nnd bushes, nt 3.2JJ5,<167 acres.

Mrs. Josie Blair of Saginaw has com­ menced suit jtgninst Peter Stine, Law­ rence Stine and their bondsmen, E. A. Martindale nnd Emil Jochin, for damages in the sum of $15,000. The bill of com­ plaint states that April 18, 1895, Neil Blnir wns moving a load of furniture to the fa^m on which he was at work. f?e ■topped at Peter Stine's saloon and wav intoxicated nt the time. While there it ir alleged he was given more drinks, *<> thnt when he again started, Ire was unable to take cure of himself. When he reached n cqlvert on the quarter-line road the horses ran off nnd upset the load into a deep ditch, burying Blair under it. When discovered he wa* dead. The coroner’s jury found that Blair came to his death by drowning, being in an intoxicated con­ dition.

Arnold of Bat­ tle Creek made a will bequeathing all of hi* property to the W. C. T. V. created a decided sensation. A* hl* property wns accumulated by selling whisky, renting house* of bad reputation and keeping n pawn shop for the receiving of stolen goods, the question was immediately rais­ ed. will the W. C. T. I', accept money made in this way? The discussion was only short lived, as the bank officials who have securities upon all of his property claim that when his debts are paid that there will not be a cent left for the union. Home believe thnt Arnold even in death, knowing this fact, did it as a joke upon an organization that he always hated. But this explanation is not accepted. Those who know claim that Arnold died a chang­ ed man. He sent for several persons in Battle Creek before his death that he had always been an enemy to and begged their forgiveness and pardon. Arnold was prob­ ably not aware that his property, which amounted to $50,000 when he was arrest­ ed, had dwindled down to nothing.

The n-plj- of Greece to the “identical .• ttotca of the power*" ha* been received at the various capitals, aud it proves to be a .touch leas deha nt document than was gen­ erally expected. The previous declaration of officials at Athens that Greece would refuse to withdraw her forces from Crete t has been carried out, but In a way that amts to offer abundant opportunity for advaataxeona compromise. The demand of tbe powers called simply for the wlth_ drawn] of the Greek troops from the 1*1and of Crete and the Greek fleet from. Cretan water*. Greece offers to obey the mandate regarding the fleet. but, although she paints Out that it would be impossible to withdraw tbe troops, she expresses a adUingnsas to place them under the control •f tbc potseA to restore order. This ought to prove Katisfactory to the powers, for It practically makes tbe Greek troops their own, and, moreover, the reply has a . general conciliatory too© that seems to preclude any Intention on the part of Greece of resisting tbc spirit of the pow­ ers' ultimatum. The reply is said te recognize in flatter­ ing tsttna that tbe powers have been ac­ tuated only by high aims, but It makys the suggestion that the Cretans be al­ loWed to choose tbeir own government and thus determine ^finally whether they really prefer autonomy, as claimed by the powers. It is clear that Greece has suc­ ceeded in injecting into a refusal to obey OVER A BILLION. Expondituroe of CongrsM J«tet Ended Ke parted »o lie •1,0*9,437,018. Representative Cannon of Illinois, chairman of the Appropriations Commit­ tee of khe House, and Mr. Sayers of Tex­ as, who is at the head of the minority of that committee, have prepared tbeir re­ views of the appropriations of the Con­ gress just ended. Mr. Cannon makes tbs total appropriation submitted to the Pct’S-, idem for his spproval at the laat session, including the general deficiency, which failed in conference, $518,103,458, or $25,­ 383/276 less than the estimates submitted to Congress "by the executive. Ths appro­ priations for the first session wsr* $515,­ 845,194. msklng a total for tbe Congress of $1,043,437,018, which, he-aays, is $49,­ 707,812 more than the appropriations for the preceding Congress. The increase, he points out, includes for fortifications, $12,­ 503,407; for river and harbor, works. In­ cluding contracts,therefor, $2,476,506; for public buildings, none of which were au­ thorized by the Fifty-fourth Congress, $2,343,394; for the postal service, $11,­ 454,305; for the naval establishment, $8,­ 947,523, and on account of permanent ap­ propriations, mainly to meet interest and sinking fund charges for the bonds issued by the Cleveland administration, $24,­ 983,744. "The appropriations are," says Mr. Can­ non, “in my judgment in excess of the legitimate demands of the public service. But this fact, while greatly to be deplored, is not, in my opinion, properly chargeable to the action of either of tbe great politi­ cal parties of the country. It is the re­ sult of renditions accruing out of the rules of the Mouse and out-of the rules, prac­ tices and so-called courtesies of the Sen­ ate, together with the irresponsible man­ ner whereby the executive submits to Con­ gress estimates to meet expenditures for the conduct of the Government. If the appropriations made by Congress have been extravagant and beyond'the reve­ nues of tbe Government, how much more MAP OF THE BALKAN PtNINSULA, WHERE WAR IS POSSIBLE. This may shows the former extent of the Turkish dominions, large sections of whichrwere taken away' by Europe after thfr war of 1876. Bosnia and Herzegovina are now. administered by Austria and may bo considered part of her territory. Servin is an independent kingdom. So is Iloutuania, made up of the provinces of Wallachia nnd Moldavia. Bulgaria is a semi-independent principality, with control over Eastern Ruumclia, which is still tributary to the Turkish empire. Monte­ negro is an independent principality. Greece has been an independent kingdom since the revolution of 1821-29. Macedonia, still a Turkish province, though for­ merly part of Greece, has long been in a ferment of revolt, nnd now Crete is striv­ ing to throw off the Turkish yoke and ’join herself to Greece. The town of La­ rissa, in Thessaly, is the rendezvous of the Grecian troops on the frontier, while tbe Turkish troops are gathering at tbe aeaport town of Salonica, on the Gulf of Saloniea. the powers so much diplomatic compro­ mise that her position has been materially strengthened. She has adhered to thr only two points she has claimed—the right to have troops in Crete for the purpose of holding the fanatical Mussulmans in check nnd the right of the Cretans to choose what form of government they will have. The former position she adheres to rigidly, for, since the business of her troops Id Crete is only to preserve order, it .is naturally immaterial t*» Greece whether they are under the control of the powers or not, so long ns order is preserved. Nev­ ertheless. there is an apparent concessionmade in the offer to submit to such con­ trol. which gives the powers a favorable opening to recede from the letter of their demand. Regarding tbe proposition that the Cre­ tans be given the privilege to choose their own term of government, Greese of course can go no further than urge tin* sugges­ tion. It seems to be an adroit answer, however, to tbe statement of tbe pow­ ers that Crete really prefers autonomy, for if the powers are sincere in that be-, lief they can have no objection to submit­ ting tbe proposition to a vote. The general task? of the reply of Greece shows that the nation has no intention of irritating the powers to the extent of de­ claring war «■ Turkey, and that the-preparations for conlict have been made doubtless ter purposes of defense In case an attempt should be made to humiliate her beyond endurance. Monday the foreign admirals notified the Greek vice-coasul at Csnea that he roust leave Crete. They also wired to tbeir respective Governments for the dis­ patch of 600 men to maintain order in the large towns. It is reported that the •lege of Csndxmo has been raised and that tbe Mussulmans have gons to Palikosn. where they are safe. Although the danger is not entirely past, it seems fair to assume that this latest European war scare will now gradually fade away into harmless diplomacy. The London Globe understands. n;wn high authority, that great tension exists between Great Britain and Belgium on tbe subject of the demands of Great Britain for indemnity aa a result of the imprisonment of Ben Tillett, the English labor leader, arrested at Antwerp last year, while promoting a strike. The for­ eign office officials declare that negotiatious OU the fubjec: are procaw iag arnica- so have been the estimates of tho execu­ tive. The record shows that in no In­ stance during the many years past have the appropriations made by Congress measured up to the full amounts recom­ mended and asked for by the administra­ tion. It is said that ours is the only Gov­ ernment iu the civilized world wherein the administrative branch apparently shows no degree of responsibility to tho taxpayers for ha -demands for the expen­ diture of public money, nnd that ours is tbe only Government wherein the legisla­ tive branch alone exercises tho function of duty or check upon public expenditures, without any considerable degree of co­ operation on the part of the executive." Mr. Sayers, in his statement, makes the total appropriations of this Congress $54,­ 197,812 in excess of tbe Fifty-third Con­ gress, $1X^332,470 over tbe Fifty-second' Congreas and $7,757,906 in excess of the Fifty-first Correas.

Nearly every one io Saginaw Valley knows ••Bert” Ellis. For twenty years he has -carried his samples and good nature to his many merchant friends, who are always glad to see him. Bnl Mr. Ellis had trouble the same as other people. in the same place, or twice in tbe same bed, called at all noun of the night to make the next town, amoking probably to excess, are conditions which injured Mr. Ellis'* health. He became nervous, his sleep broken, and restless; his stomach troublesome; his heart's action irregular, and his entire system debilitated. In speaking recently with your correspondent, Mr. Ellis said: “As the inc I decided to use Dr. Wheeler’s Nerve Vttalixer. The improvement in my condi­ tion was remarkable. I was able to secure restful sleep, my nervousness was overcome, stomach trouble corrected; heart’? action became regular; in fact I became a* well as ever, even in the fave of tbe fact that I still smoke and continued to travel.” Mr. Ellis’s eancrience is similar to thou­ sands al traveling men and othem who smoke to excess and are irregular and indis­ creet in diet and sleep.

The peculiar meteorological condition* of tbe past few week* culminated Friday nnd Saturday in floods which for v*«tn«M of volume and extent excel anything in the history of the country. Al) seetiwns of the middle West. Northwest and South report tremendous damage by ris­ ing and uncontrolled stream*. Bridge* were swept from highways nnd railways; lowlands were flooded 'to a navigable depth; farms.plantations and cities which for years had suffered immunity from such danger, became submerged: millions of dollars of damage to building* and •live stock resulted. In Missouri there occurred great los* of life; while in Ten­ nessee, Arkansas. MlHsissippi, Wisconsin and Iowa thousands of people were driven from their homes in imminent peril, to watch the destruction ofeverything they bad in the world. Of Northern cities, Milwaukee wa* the worst aufferor. The district of the city known as the Menominee Valley, wn* submerged to a depth of over ten feet, and a large number of people were im­ prisoned in their home* for hours anti! I mats were sent to rescue them. Fully fifty houses had water up to the second story, and hundred* were made untenable. Tbe West Milwaukee shops were flooded, and the bridge nt the Monarch stone quarry w.as carried out. Basements in the business district were filled, a* was also the condition nt Fond du Lac and Oshkosh. ’ Elroy lost her great iron bridge, and at Port Washington the rail­ way bridge and- a freight train were wrecked. At Kenosha and Richland streams were out of banks. At Luverne, Minn., the Little Rock River was a mile wide, pouring a vast volume into the Sioux. A dozen bridge* in Southwestern Minnesota went down, and all traffic on several branches of the Great Northern. Northwestern and Mil­ waukee lines running Northwest Iowa and Eastern South Dakota was sual*ended. • Advices from Omaha say: “With every stream in Nebraska and Western Iowa pouring a flood of unusual proportions into the Missouri River nnd the cnormou* volume of water coming down from the north from the tributaries of that stream, the indications are that one of the most disastrous floods in this re­ gion of the Missouri valley is certain. From the north to tbe south Stale line of Nebraska the Missouri is full of heavy ice, and in some places, the channel is solidly blocked with enormous gorges of ice. The frequency with which these gorges are forming and giving way in the Missouri nnd its Nebraska tributaries i* causing the volume of water to fluc­ tuate in the most remarkable mariner. Thus far the damage in the interior of the State a* n result of the swollen streams is much heavier than along the Missouri where the real force of the flood has scarcely yet been felt. The damage along the Missouri is confined very large­ ly to the Iowa side, where the land is much lower than on the western shore.” United States Weather Observer Welsh of Omaha said Friday night: “I do not desire to pose a* nn alarmist, but I can­ not see how the Missouri Valley in this locality can possibly escape a most dis­ astrous flood. Perhaps the ice may move out before the greater volume of water is released from the north, but tbe indi­ cations now arc most alarming. My ad­ vice is to those 9:1 the lowland* in Iowa and Nebraska to prepare to see some ex­ ceedingly high water.” The ice is solid in the Missouri at Sioux City, and the river is rising rapidly. Gorges nre forming qnd the people living along the lowlands are vacating their homes and mov .ng their property to high­ er ground*. At scores of points large forces of men nre at work with dynamite breaking up t»e ice gorges. At Sioux City the Sioux City and Northern bridge went out. na did all other structures over the Floyd from lx; Mara down. Thr Big Sioux passed all previous marks, entire­ ly flooding the village of Westfield and making a clean *weep of Milwaukee and St. Paul bridges nnd culverts. In the Minnesota-South Dakota affect­ ed districts, many towns were submerged, nnd all rail traffic stopped. Luverne. Spring Valley, Faribault and Preston, in Minnesota, nnd Centerville. Vermilion. Pembina, nnd Jamestown, in the Da■kotas. all suffered severely. In Tennessee. Memphis was high and dry, yet surrounded by water; and the city was overrun by thousands of refu­ gees, brought in by steamers which bad navigated over what is ordinarily fertile territory. These refugees were in the most abject deatitution,. m arly all col­ ored. and very unruly. Relief from out­ side will surely be needed. For several day* six regular steam craft were en­ gaged in penetrating the flooded coun­ try to the uttermost possible limit, and beyond that limit almost innumerable snudler vesael■ have been pushed to the remotest corners. Chicago’s particular portion of these remarkable condition* took the form of enormous precipitation of water, and a Stygian darkness at mid-afternoon Fri­ day. Business stopped with n jolt. Black­ ness and an ini|>enetrab!e pall of fog made electric headlights of motor car* invisible across the street. Sixtcen-atory building* were hidden from sight. In all districts a semi-panic prevailed, for remembrance of the St. Ixuila cyclone wns vividly awaken­ ed. People scurried like frightened rab­ bits into any burrow that promised pro­ tection. This condition lasted but a few minutes, btft was repealed several times,’ when ensued a down-pour resembling a cloudburst, followed later by violent elec­ tric storms, raising dire confusion in fire alarm and electric light station*.

But of course, the Importance of the alcohol lies lu the fact that it will be cheap enough to burn and be free from all danger aud odor. Mr. Ralph L. Van der Naillen. of the School of Engineering of San Fran­ cisco, has been doing the experimenting in the production of calcium carbide, and it is to bls efforts that the cost of it has been cut down to almost nothing. By the methods heretofore employed, the lowest cost was 12 cents per pound: Mr. Van der Nalllen ha« reduced that to 1*4 cents per pound. After tbe product is made its useful­ ness logins.

But It needs rich soli quite as much os any, and is especially tienefited by phos­ phate fertilizers. The average yield Is low, because the crop ia generally put on tbe poorest soil on the farm.

When all artificials have been tried, few or none are so reliable or available as barnyard manure, which Is too much disregarded by many farmers. Sows with young pigs need liberal feeding.

Anticipating also that the imports oL woolens will fall off nearly 50 per cent, from the enormous imports of 181MJ, we estimate the increased revenue from this source under the proposed rate* at about $14,000,000. From sugar we estimate $20,000,000 additional revenue. Antici­ pating a considerable failing off of im­ ports of Havana tobacco because of the revolution in Cuba, we reduce the esti­ mates of additional revenue to be derived from the tobacco schedule to $4,000,000. The remaining schedule* would afford n revenue of nlsmt $31>.600,0<X> on the basis of the imports of 189G, but as there would probably l>e diminished import* nt some points, although the gradual restoration of business activity would offset this by increasing the consumption of imported luxuries, we reduce the estimates on these to $31,000,000. These would aggregate an additional revenue of $80,000,000 the first year. A further reduction of $5,000.■000 or $10,000,000 for contingencies would leave $70,000,000 to $75,000,000 as the probable increased revenue from this bill lhe first year, which would undoubtedly rise to $100,000,000 the second year. .“These estimate* are below, rather than •above, the probable result, unless a con­ siderable delay in the enactment of the bill should greatly enlarge the opportuni­ ty for imports of articln on which duties are to lx- raised—particularly wool and woolens—for speculative purpose* Un­ doubtedly any delay beyond May l^in placing the bill on the statute book would •esult in a large Jos* of revenue. “This increase.of revenue is secured by transferring wool, lumber, crude opium, argols, paintings and statusry, straw or­ naments, straw mattresses, burlaps anil various other articles from the free list of tbe present law to the dutiable list; by increasing the duty on woolens to com­ pensate the manufacturer for the duty placed on wool; by raising the duty on sugar shout three-fourths of a cent a pound ia ewfar to encourage the produc­ tion of sugar tai this country, which, it is believed, c*n U? dune, ami thus give our man life was sacrificed and several people were hurt.

With unlimited means at our command we are presenting the-remarkable specta­ cle of increasing our public debt by bor­ rowing mdney tu meet the ordinary out­ lays incident Upon even an economical and prudent administration of the Gov­ ernment. An examination of the subject discloses this fact in every detail and leadsinevitably to the conclusion that the con­ dition of the revenue wlfich allows it launjustifiable nnd should lx* corrected. We find by the report of tbe Secretary of the Treasury that the revenues for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1882. from all sources were $423,808,200.22, and the ex­ penditures for all purpose* were $415,­ 95330030, leaving nn excess of receiptsover expenditures of $9.91-1.453.06. Dur­ ing that fiscal year $40,570.40738 was paid4 upon the public debt, which hn* been re­ duced shire March 1, 1889. $259,076,880. and the annual interest charge decreased ■ $11,684,570.60.

Since thnt time the receipts of do fiscal* SfAr, and. with but few exceptions, of no onth of any fiscal year, have exceededthe'expenditure*. The receipt* of the Government from all sources during tbefiscal year ending Juue 30, 1894, were$372,892,498.29, nud its ex fiend itu res $442,005,73837, leaving a deficit, the first since the resumption of specie payments, of $69,803,200.58. Notwithstanding there was a decrease of $10,760,128.78 in the or­ dinary expenses of the Government as compared with the previous fiscal year, its income was still not sufficient to pro­ vide for its daily necessities.'and the gold' reserve in the treasury for the redemptionof greenbacks was drawn upon, to meet them. But this did not suffice, and tbe Government then resorted to loan* to re­ plenish the reserve. In February. 1894. $50,000,000 in bonds was Issued, anti in November /oilowing a second issue of $50,000,000 wns deemed necessary. The sum of $117,171,795 was realized by the *alc of those bonds, but the ' reserve was steadily decreased until on . Feb. 8, 1895, a third sale of $62,315,400 in bonds for $65,116,244 wa* announced to Congress. The receipts of the Government for the-, fiscal year ending June 30. 1895. were $390,373.20330. nnd the expenditures $433,178.42(1.48. showing a deficit of $42.­ 805,223.18.

Irr other word*, the total receipts for the three fiscal years ending June 30. 1896, were insufficient by $137,811,729.46 ta meet the total expenditure*. Nor Iras this condition since improved. For the first half of the present fiscal year the receipts uf the Government, exclusive of ixistnl revenues, were $157,507,603.76, and its expenditure*, exclusive of tx>s\al service. $195,410,000.22, or an ex­ cess of expenditure* over receipts of $37,­ 902.396.46.

Thursday evening the blockhouse or fort at Maiaxn. Just outside of Buda, was blown up with dynamite by the Greek in­ surgents. -The whole structure wa* soon in flames and the Turkish warships began a bombardment of the insurgents. The fleet fired ninety shells ujwn the insur­ gents around Malaxa. and some of these fell inside the blockhouse. Of the Turk­ ish garrison, numbering sixty-four, one escaped to Nerokhnri ami eighteen others to Buda. It i* believed the others per­ ished. • During the night the insurgent forces were pushed foAvsrd -00111 they occupied, convenient positions for attack, and about b a. m. the artillery opened fire upon the Turkish blockhouse.

The Turks made a stand now and then, (touring n few volleys in the direction bf the insurgent skirmish lines.

From the route followed by the Turks nothing could Im? seen of the fighting in progress between Malaxa mid Buda and the Ottoman troops advanced half way up to the heights upoto which the blockhouse of Keratidi is sit­ uated. Turke Were Trapped. 1- rom the catch-basin in the main sewer draining the grounds of the county insti­ tution. fifty fret from the main driveway and about 150 fe^t from the pourhouse, the headless body of a man was taken. In addition to the head the right forearm When taken from tba basin the corpse nis in a state of advanced decomposition. The trunk above the waist was but a mere skeleton, and the internal organa of the body had entirely Jisapjwared. Below the waist mortifies turn was almost completed, and there was nothing left to disclose whether or,not identifying marks had ever been placed upon the body. The appear­ ance of the cadaver indicated that the head and forearm had either been torn or washed away, there being no signs of decapitation or severance by means of a knife or other instrument. When takep from its resting place the body was floating in ten feet of water, and the physicians who viewed It almost immediately after its release, are of opin­ ion that it had been imprisoned for con­ siderably more than six months. No the­ ory as to the cause of the death has been advanced by officials at the Dunning asy­ lum, and the jury of the coroner, under the direction of Deputy Reynolds, return­ ed a verdict to the effect that the un­ known person probably came to his death by drowning. The motive for tbc crime is a mooted question, but that It is murder none of the officials doubt, although Superintendent Lange and hla assistants have no theories to advance. • A survey of the grounds, an examina­ tion of the conditions and general Charac­ teristics of the surrounding territory lead those familiar with the situation in and about Dunning to advance three theories of murder. First, that the victim was an inmate of the poorhouse and was disposed of by other Inmates, either of the alms­ house or insane* ward. Second, that he was an inmate of the? poorhouse and wa* killed by some keeper or keej»er*, and, third, that the body was brought to the place from a distance and dropped into the catch-basin.

Tbe waifs were the children of Charles Shanks, who had lived at Lakeport. ’I*he father deserted the family about three yenrs-ago, nnd for a time the mother, by hard work, eked out an existence for herself nnd little childxcn, and kept the fatherless family together. She finally tired of her task, and one day went to Port Hnrep, leaving the six children to.the care of their grand­ mother.* This week the old indy notified the poor authorities that she could no longer care for the children. A petition signed by depositors of the defunct Whitehall bank was received by Banking Commissioner Ainger. The bank officials were charged with loaning the hank's money to themselves, nnd ranking false reports to the State banking de­ partment while they lofted the institution. The (tanking commissioner was asked to call u|>on the Attorney General to in­ vestigate the failure nnd prosecute thr officials. While Commissioner Ainger has no power to command the services of the Attonley General, he thinks it is high time thnt an example be made of the bank official* vefio violate the laws and defraud depositors, and he Iras therefore referred the petition to the Governor, with the roroufmendation that the Attorney Gen­ eral be -directed to proceed against the bank's officials. The first tests of the new sheep shearing marines, which the Northwestern Rail­ road has introducod at its sheep yards at Ln Fox, IIL. were made Wednesday af­ ternoon. The testa were satisfactory, and those who have the process under their control consider that a complete revolu­ tion in the methods of sheep shearing In the United States will be brought ubout thereby within n very few years. The plant which the Northwestern company l^i*. ready for operation consists of only ten machines, but a very large number will be put in so a* to be ready ns soon as the shearing season actively opens. The machine used is the “Wolseley," invented iu part by a uejihew of lx>nl Wolseley and brought before the public by that noble­ man himself. It has become the. standard means of shearing In Australia, Tasma­ nia, South America, nnd in all other large sheep raising countries. It is expected that 1.000.000 sheep will be sheared by the machines thi* season in the North­ western States. The 3-year-old chttd of James Fickles of Riverside met with a severe and pe­ culiar accident by falling down and strik­ ing its chin with such force a* to aever its tongue. Tlie forcing of a new charter upon the citizens of Flint without giving them an opportunity to be heard in the matter 1* causing great Indignation. When the amended charter came up before the cor­ poration committee vigorous protests were made against it. Petitions representing 1,000 voter* and taxpayers were filed with the committee protesting against any change, but they had no effect recognized from year to year. Scient­ ists have estimated it at four feet a year. g Gradually the wall-like ends of the Ice cap are forced into* the sea. and these are called glaciers. Year after year tbe enormous pressure inland sends the ice further Into the water, but the whole mass is so solid that no force seems great enough to wrest a piece from the main body. But lhe all-powerful sea perform* the seeming miracle. It Is tbe upward pressure of tbe water on tbe floating end of the glader that finally wears down Its strength and causes it to burst from the lee cap with the roar of a thousand cannon. This is the birth of the Iceberg. Slowly tbe released mammoth moves first one way nnd tfien the other. Great pieces drop off Into the sen. but finally it finds its equilibrium. Then it begins Its long Journey to the south, moved by the strong Arctic current running deep and strong hundreds of fathoms below the prater's surface, and grasping the submerged ends of tbe berg In a relent­ less grip.

Extracting Gold. A process of extracting gold by which every particle of tbe metal In tbe ore la recovered Is stated to be in success­ ful operation in Went Australia. It Is called the ore atomic process. Gold quartz is crushed Into small lumps and is then put Into a closed chamber, sub­ jected to tbe heat of a furnace, to the action of water and of hydrogen gas. This eliminated sulphur and reduces niroxides to the metallic state. After being heated, tbe material is suddenly cooled by jets of water—nn operation repeated several times till the quartz crumbles to powder at the touch of the finger. It is then thrown into a tank and the gold Is separated by washing. —Chicago Tribune. months •enipt (hiring the laat two year*, if their family.

A cold, drizzling rain fell all day; long, and one could not possibly mistake the day. Notwithstanding this fact and the bad condition of the roads a fair vote was polled, although the total fell off considerably tn what was polled at the fall election. The candidates were out early In the morning and worked hard all day. Henry Boe, as usual, had bis running clothes on and defeated W. A. Smith by a majority of 24. E. J. Felghner was also elected, defeating O. M. Mc­ Laughlin by six votes. The crepubllcans elected* tbe remainder of officers by various majorities; Clair Furnlss being elected for treas­ urer over Thos. Purkey by a majority of 161. At the Nashville precinct the repub­ licans had 100 straights, the silverites 110, and tbe Llberalists 1.

The election here was marked by a degree of hustle which has not charac­ terized a spring election for a good many years. The silverites, who are very much In the minority, put up a rattling good ticket and made a' most vigorous fight, for their candidates, and in consequence pulled out two of­ ficers, treasurer and highway commis­ sioner.

Many consider it a good plan to cover such a rack with a shed roof, thus always keeping the bay dry. The usual storage place for apples is in the cellar, says American Gardening.

When I am naked by strangers what my occupation la, I proudly qnswerthat 1 am a farmer. As 1 aat down to dinner yesterday (Just a common every­ day farmer'a.dlnner) I remarked to my wife that we had raised nearly every­ thing on the table. There was fresh pork steak with brown gravy, potatoes, Hubbard squash. turnip* (the last three were mashed with a little cream added), cucumber pickles, tomato soy, fresh but­ ter, bread, preserved strawberries, ap­ ple pie, comb honey, cream (the good, thick, yellow kind), milk with tbe "top on it,” and coffee.

Most of the wind mills we see are used wholly to pump water from wells. Though this as a steady Job probably saves as much labor as any one thing the wind power could be set to doing, there.are many other back-ncltlng Jobs that are on many farms done by hand power, which might quite as well be given over to wind power. Turning grindstones and churning are among these. When young we knew some farmer boys who put up a light windmill which turned a lathe in a shop. Here they spent many hours making all kinds of wooden ar­ ticles. AH of these boys kept up their love of fann life, because their wind­ mill wns set to do tasks that on other farms the boys had to perform by what sailors call "main" strength ami stu­ pidness.

PICKS UP SIXTEEN SURVIVORS. licicae of P« News comes that the British steamship Yanariva, Captain Weston, which left Newport News on March 1<>, bound for Glasgow, arrived at Greenu. k, Scotland, Sunday night. The captain reports that on March 12, while In latitude 31, longi­ tude 71, he picked up a small boat con­ taining sixteen, survivors of the steam­ ship Ville de St. Nazaire. They had been without food and water for four days, and were in a state of extreme exhaustion and were bordering on madness. The officers and men of the Yanariva did all in their power for the unhappy victims of an ocean horror, and finally learned their piti­ ful story piece by piece. They say that four boats were launch­ ed, two containing twenty-nine each, the third seventeen and the fourth six. The boat picked up by the Yanariva wns one of the two that took off twenty-nine, but thirteen of these succumbed to exposure, hunger and thirst. The lost the survivor* saw of the other boats was on the day the vessel foundered, when they sighted two of them lashed together and empty. For some time after the rescue the cap­ tain of the Yanariva kept an officer at the masthead, sweeping the horizon with a glass in the hope of getting some trace of the other boats, but there was no sign of them. _________ An attempt was made to blow up the property at the comer of Ninth and Wal­ nut. streets, St. Louis. .

News­ boys nnd children engaged in other busi­ ness pursuits are exempted. The fight over the aft-called anti-railroad bill was transferred from the House Railroad Committee to the House itself, the com­ mittee having decided to report on two of the bills without recommendation. These are tbe bills substituting local tax­ ation of railroad property for the present specific tax system and providing a flat 2-cent passenger fare. Thursday the following bills passed the House: To prohibit minors over 8 nnd under 1(1 years from being on the streets, parks or alleys lu cities and incorporated villages during certain hours of the night; to prevent the introduction of San Jose wale or other injurious insects or infec-. tious diseases of trees, vines or plants; to prevent deception in the manufacture and sale of imitation butter: to regulate aud Herns*’'the business of hawking nnd , peddling goods, wares nnd merchandise in rhe several townships and villages of tin- State.

Taking the Wrong Boats. Dwight L. Moody, In addressing his great Bible class in the Ladles’ Homo journal on ‘•Regeneration," Illustrates bis teachings with this excellent story: "A Methodist minister, on his way to a camp-meeting, through some mistake took passage on the wrong boat. He found that. Instead of being bound for a religious gathering, he was In bls way to a horse race. His fellow pas­ sengers were betting and discussing tbe events, and tbe whole atmosphere was foreign to his nature. He besought th© eaptaln that be would stop his boat and let him off at the first landing, as the surroundings were so distasteful to him. ‘•Tbe story also goes on to relate how, on the same occasion, a sporting man. Intending to go to the races, by some mistake found himself on the wrong boat, bound for the camp-meeting. The conversation about him was no more intelligible to him than to the mon In the first instance, nnd he, too, besought the captain to stop and let him off the boat. Now what was true in these two cases is practically true- with every one. A true Christian -is wretched where there Is no fellowship, aud an unregeherate man is not at ease where there are only Christians. A man’s future will be according to wbat he Is here prepared for. If be is not regen­ erate heaven will have no attractions for him." Bowery Talk.

Wbat is lhe preacher's object I What end has he in yiew! So aimless and pointless is the discourse. It can not be intended to convert sinners, for there is nothing tn it to alarm their fears, arouse their guilty consciences, and lead them to repentance. It can not be the spiritual edification of believer*, for there te nothing in it to quicken them into newness of spiritual life, to encourage them amid trial, or to stimulate them to greater Christian activity. It i* a wt ot abstract ethical theorizing, with scarcely any reference to the life and power of true godliness In the soul.

Soon Lady Kirkaldy carried off her nephew, and his first utterance outside the door was, “A woman like that will be -the salvation of my uncle.” "Firstly, if you can bring them togeth­ er," said his aunt; "and secondly, if there is stuff enough In that pretty creature." Meanwhile Mias Headworth felt it her duty to acquaint Ursula with the facts of her parentage, which until now had been held from her. "Oh, then," cried Nuttie. when she had heard the whole story,.

That is TOWN IS WIPED OUT CHANDLER, OKLAHOMA, STROYED B¥ A CYCLONC t Forty .People Reported Killed and Every Building Demolished —Fire At G o'clock Tuesday evening a terrific cyclone, followed by ball and flood, swept through the town of Chandlw, O. T., completely devastating tbe town. Threefourths of tbe residences and business houses of the town were wrecked and it is said forty lives were lost and nearly 150 people Injured. Darkness at once came on and tbe work of rescue was car­ ried om under greatest difficulty. The telephone office was carried away, and at 10 o'clock a telephone was connected with the wire two miles out nnd a message sent’to Guthrie for assistance. The cyclone struck tbe courthouse while court wns iu session, twisted tbe build­ ing around and hurled It into n street a complete wreck. Fifteen or twenty peopie in the building were badly hurt and several are missing. Ex-Mayor McEIhenny, of Guthrie, nnd one member of bis -family were killed and tbe others Injured. But two.buildings nre left standing, the Mitchell'Hotel nnd Rpt-k Island store. Up to midnight the list of injured had grown largely, but no more known dead had been report, d. The wrecked build­ ings took fire nnd burned fiercely and many of the injured met death by fire while pinned fast under debris. In one building fire injured people were burned to death- and at another place the incin­ erated bodies of three unknown children were taken out. All physicians were kill­ ed or injured -but one. * Chandler Is a town of 1,500 pimple, built on a hill iu thick timber, and lhe mass of torn trees nud wrecked houses made it impossible to reach near all of the people in tbe dark. On every side conld be heard groans and cries for help, nnd the scene was indescribable. A large Dum­ ber of physicians nnd other citizens went from Guthrie with surgical instruments, drugs and other supplies. Twenty-five dead bodies were token from the ruins up to midnight. Reports indicate that the cyclone which destroyed the town of Chandler also passed across the State of Kansas, though in less destructive force.

Beds, stove* and other furniture have been carried to tbe roofs aud there these •rtoical people cat and sleep and sigh as they wait for the waters to fall. Ln many cases, chick­ ens, pigs and cows nre with them on the housetops. Should the waters rise to where they are encamped these stoics will build rafts, encamp ou them nnd drift whither tbe winds and currents carry them. Then, indeed, will the death list be swelled to appalling figures. But the prospect is not so dismal, fur the waters are falling. Though worse may come, existing con­ ditions are bad enough. From Cairo. Ill., to Memphis. a distance of nearly 250 miles, the river is over its banks and the average width -of submerged land is twen­ ty-five miles. It Is a long line of black- muddy waters covered with floating tim­ bers. wrecked houses, -eddies of bloated dead animals, with an occasional lifeless human being mixed witli tbe debris.

Above Memphis there few. but they are ax chaff when the big floods come. Tennessee is but little affect­ ed even at the highest stages of tbe river. 'The banks on-tbe left are high and are supported by rocky hills that creep up al­ most to the river’s edge. The volume of water is therefore thrown with all its ter­ rible force to the unprotected sides of Arkansas’ territory, backing up the small­ er rivers and streams, causing them to overflow the lakes, thus creating an inland sen that adds new territory to its cruel waste hour by hour until tbe entire sur­ plus waters of the north bare gone to join tbe salty waves of the southern seas. A few weeks ago the snows began to melt in the Alleghany and Rocky mountains, nnd this, with the spring rains, caused the little mountain streams to fiyur great vol­ umes of water into tiie Missouri, Ohio and Cumberland rivers. These, in turn, swelled the Mississippi ipto a turbulent torrent, and the waters broke through the levees between Cairo nnd Memphis and caused a flood greater than has been known in fire years.

At Sunday school the teacher had told the children that on that day Christ hnd risen from the dead, and how beautiful the Easter morn would become to them if ■Christ indeed had risen in their hearts, And she went on to tell how some Chris­ tiana. during the forty days before Eas­ ter, would deny themselves some known pleasure nnd strive to consecrate themaelrcs anew to Christ. “My dear girls." she added. “are not we all willing to deny ourselves something tfor the sake of Christ? to give up some amusement, or habit, or treasure, that perhaps may be crowding us out of the .kingdom ? “is there not spine object dear to us we are willing to give up for him? He gave his all for us—life, kingdom and heaven itself; his precious blood was shed, that we through him might live; nnd what have we done for him? Is there not something we can lay upon the altar as a • sacrifice, so we may be prepared to re­ ceive his lore into our hearts?” All the way home from Sunday school. Tarin nnd Fanny were talking about what they could do for (.'bruit: and perhaps, because they did not quite understand what was meant, or else had so little to stive, they were a long time wondering what they could give to Chajst; nt last "Fanny said: “I know what it is—the lily, ■we can give the lily to Christ; you know the teacher said it must be something we thought a great deal of, something dear to uh. nnd I believe we care more for the lily thnn anything else." “But-how will we send the lily to him?” asked Lulu. “I ■ don't know," said Fanny, “but I guess <Jod will allow ua how.’* And now that the lily was to be given to God. they beartowed more care than ever upon it; each day the bud grew larger, and you could begin to see a rim of white above the I green. The days sped on, nnd there were only •four days till Easter, but in tbb meantime a malignant disease had settled over jiart of tbe city, and little children were rapidly falling at its approach; each mother trem­ bled as she held her loved ones, for who knew how near the iingrl of death might be; be hovered around the homes of wealth and comfort, nnd of poverty and want, until at last the shadow fell across the street and into the room where the JEaster lily was. ■ Fanny lay thert- unconscious of the sadarsx and gloom that had settled upon their little borne; sometimes in the delirium of fever she would talk about the lily—God's ‘Mly. as they called it now. Each day the whadows deepened, so dark, so sad, and .to-morrow was Easter.

CHRIST THEIR MODEL The House met kt » o’clock Tuesday night, went into committee of tbe whole, and nt once began' work bn the general order. The Senate also manifested an in­ clination to go to work. On Wednesday the Edgar bill, provid­ ing that liquor tax money shall be paid Into the treasury of the township or mu­ nicipality in which the saloon is located instead of being divided with the county as now, was kliied in the‘Hoose. This body, in committee of the whole, passed the bill providing for a tax of 5 pet cent on all inheritances or transfers made in contemplation of death, whether of real or personal property or whether made by residents or non-residents. Inheritances of |5,OOG or less are exempted, as Is prop­ erty willed to a father, mother, husband, wife, child, ‘brother, sister, .wife or wid­ ow of a son, or husband of a daughter. It is understood this bill overcomes the Objections to a previous law which the Supreme Court declared-umJonstitutional. The fijfht in the House over the hill to abolish contracting of convict labor as well ns all other labor in .prisons, except that done by hand on State account, last­ ed the entire day Thursday, and resulted in the defeat of the labor men by a rote of -HI to 20. If a bill recommended In­ comes a law the present system of free tuition nt tbe Michigan Mining School will be abandoned. The bill provides for a fee of $10 for Michigan students and $25 for non-residents. It is ul»<» proposed to restrict the bill to its original pnr)s>M*, that of n school of mines strictly, the ten­ dency of late year* haring been to take on university courses. On Friday the bill prohibiting the color­ ing of oleomargarine so as to resemble butter, which recently pasted both houses after an effort extending over six years.was hung up in the Senate., and the indi­ cations arc that the farmers will lose this battle after all. The labor member* in the House have gathered up the remnants of the Mohler anti-convict contract labor bill and will try to draft a satisfactory measure by eliminating the chain-gang feature ofithnt bill. The Senate has acted adversely u|>on a project to build an elec­ tric road from Bay City to Port Huron, thence north through Sanilac and* Huron counties, the opposition ot the steam food Companies being the principal factor in the downfall of the bills permitting the construction of the projected line. The bills had already pas.-H-<l both houses, but the Senate recalled them, the purpose be­ ing to let-them die in the committee.

Tbe M-rvant. hfa face looking blurred through the window, came to explain that tbe delay was causgd by an agricultural engine, which had chosen this ufilucky night, or morning, to travel from one farm to another. There was a long delay, while the monster could be heard coughing frightfully before it could be backed with its spiky companion into a field so as to let the carriages pass by; and meantime Mr. Egremont was betrayed into uttering ejaculations which made poor Nuttie round her eyes In the dark ns she sat by hfa feet on the back seat, and Alice try to bury her ears in her hood in the cor­ ner.

The moon was up, and they saw the rectory carriage safe on the road before them, but on tije bridge beyond was a struggling mass, dimly illuminated by a single carriage lamp.

(To be continued.) ' "Put His Foot in It.” An amusing story fa told at the ex­ pense qf a military martinet in Ger­ many, who undertook to snub a lieu­ tenant at a ball In Berlin. Tbe colonel noticed a large badge richly act with diamonds on the breast of the young officer’s uniform. Going to the lleutenant. he inquired with a patronizing air; “Young man, what fa that tiling you have there?" "It fa an order, col­ onel." "An order!” exclaimed the vet­ eran, with a sneer. "It is not Prussian, for 1 don't recognize it.” "It fa an Eng­ lish order," replied the ■ lieutenant, quietly. "Who could have given you such an order?" "My grandmother, colonel.” "Your grandmother!” eliouted the colonel, with a laugh. “Pray tell me her name.” "Her Majesty, Vic­ toria. Queen of England.” The burly martinet did not continue the conversation, but bowed pbsequlously to the lieutenant—who was Prince Albert of Schleswig-Holstein— and after an awkward pause retired from the scene. Hi had not recognized the prjnce, nnd In attempting to chaff 1dm over the display of a diamondstudden decoration, had unconsciously violated royal eticpiette ami made him­ self ridiculous.

An Elevated Railway incident Without On an elevated train the other night sat a negro woman who, judged by her dress, belonged to some sisterhood.. On the other side of the car was a white for­ eigner, evidently in a mildly hilarious condition. Tbe man, says tbe New York Sun, was smoking a cigar, and the woman-protested. Not understanding the purport of her remarks and evident­ ly thinking that he wa* in a fairway to make o conquest, he went over nnd sat down beside her and endeavored to en­ gage her in ctysv&rsatlon. At first she turned her head away, but finally, ex­ asperated by bi* persistence, she struck him a smart blow with her open hand in the face. Tho man was not abashed, but smil­ ing pleasantly, as if considering that he hnd made progress, redoubled hi* at­ tentions. A tall and stalwart negro rose from hi* seat in the corner, and, solemnly marching over to the whito man, laid his hand on his shoulder and pointed to tho other side of the car. The white man looked at the negro, who returned his gaze - sternly, nnd then went back to the scat he had vacated. Tho negro, when he saw that the wom­ an was in no further danger of mo­ lestation, returned to his place. Not a word was said on either side. ular Science New*. The sturdy little Esquimaux defy all the laws of hygiene and thrive. The Esquimau, like the or­ dinary dweller in America, eats until he is satisfied, but there is this differ­ ence—that he never is satisfied while a His capacity is limited by the supply, and by that only.

A Defence of Ca*h Rent. There Is a great outcry among farm renters against cash rents just now. says the Fort Dodge Messenger, but the system of cash rent* is a better one for both tenants and landlord* than a system of grain rents. Tbe cash rents are sometime* too high, but it wpnld be better for the landlord to reduce them than to go back to grain rent. That means no stock aud every­ thing to be sold off the place.. It Is the wrong system of farming for -Iowa. There should be stock on tbe place to save the rough feed, which on a grain rented farm goes entirely to waste. Farming in that fashion cannot pay and ought not to pay, for It is a crime against bountiful nature to waste her offerings to man. Clover Hay. Clover hay is much better appreciated than it used to be. While most horse­ men In the city arc mill shy of it. the farmers know, as they always have done, that In nutrition* value it far sur­ passes timothy or other graawes.

Youthful Couple Wbo Kloped Receive Perhaps the youngest couple united In marriage in this country are Ada Bird, the 14-year-old. daughter of a wealthy publisher In Adnata, and John P. Atkin­ son, the IG-yenr-otd son of Gov. W. Y. Atkinson of Georgia. The youthful bridegroom i* private secretary to ’ hi* father and draws a salary of $1,200. When the amorous relations between him and Miss Bird were discovered an effort lady was sent to relatives at Aylmer. Here young Atkinson followed her and the couple eloped and were married at Kings­ ton by a justice of the peace. After their elopement and before their marring* the families of the couple made every effort to prevent the performance of the cere­ mony, but in vain. The situation was then accepted by the parents of the youth­ ful groom and bride and a second cere­ mony—a religion* one—was performed. A youth named Harrison was killed in a glove contest with a boy named Tobin st Hampton, Ark. Harrison's neck was broken by a blow from Tobin in tbe firet round, and death was instantaneous.

At every tender of a 3-cent fare the conductors resolutely refused to accept it, and when told that the 3-cent fare law was In force thpy stolidly declared that they knew no law except that issued by the company, and It demanded a 5-nnt fare.

One of the parties, consisting of twenty young men. wjiich wa* organized to take an excursion over the city, boarded a North Illinois ear. and when the illegal fare was demanded refused either to pay or leave the car. A squad of road police was ca|led and presented such n fonuklablc array that tbe excursionists Heft the Judge Cox of the police court was one of the victim* of a futile attempt to get a ride for three cents. He refused to get off the car and was caught by the conduc­ tor and motononn and ejected after a struggle in which his fingers were badly smashed.' The company was no respecter of persona, and men, women and children alike were, ejected from the cars upon re­ fusal to pay the illegal fare.

In fact, the taste of tame bear meat Is very similar to that of an old fat hog. It takes a connoisseur to detect the difference. I once knew s butcher who bought n pet bear and put the meat on sale for Christmas. The carcass was exhibited in tbe skin, to show that it was a genuine bruin, and it sold like hot cakes for SO cent* a pound. It went so fast that it wns all gone before tbe butcher knew it, nnd he had numerous calls for more. A bright idea struck him, and1 he gave it out that he would have another bear on sale the next day. lie bought up thr£e or four big. fat, aged hogs. When one was killed he wns skinned; the head and hoofs rendered, and the carcass wrapped ! up in bruin’s hide. Like the genuine article, it went off rapidly at 50 cents a pound. This game was kept up until all the bear-hungry people of tho town were satisfied, nnd none were any the ; wiser. They smacked their JIp* over fat old swine, which, having outlived their nsefnlnesft In another capacity, were fattened, butchered and sold- as •fine, fat bear.’ ” MOSAIC AGE HIGHLY LITERARY. - DR.

This statement is based on facts presented every day. A recent case is that ot Mrs. J. Blakey Shelby, Mich., who has been treated by over twenty physicians, extending over a period of a few years; they were unable to cure her, yet she was cured by the use of a few bottles of Dr. Wheeler’s Nerve Vitaiiaer. Such instances of the remarkable efficiency of this great nerve builder are not rare; they can be found in every home where it has been used. “Dr. Wheeler’s Nerve Vitalizer has bene­ fited my wife more than the twenty or more doctors who have treated her for years.” These are the words of J. BLske, Shelby.Mich. lie continued; “She had been an invalid for years, with a perplexing com­ plication of symptoms, such a* xleepf&snrss, neadache, burning and painful sensations in stomach and heart and extreme nervousness. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer effected a com­ plete core.” Dr. Wheeler’s Nene Vitalizer can be taken with perfect safely by any one, as it ii absolutely free from injurious drugs. It k a specific for sick nerves. E. Llebhauser, Druggist. Tho qutMllon was adtlre**eu by Lbe lounger to • purveyor of flesh, fish and fowl. My* the Dallaa (Tex.) New*.

Oliver Chilled PLOWS Are the Best on Earth. IN A LONDON HOTEL. Xoveltles anil Luxuries of Life in th< of England. The American visitor to London who ■tops at a certain hotel in that city finds many novelties and conveniences that are not known here in America, where hotels aro supposed to have reached the acme of luxury. It hns an American plan dining-room, but only a French bill of fare. It has an In­ dian room, where an Indian chef, in tho costume of his country, prepares na­ tive dishes for those who desire them. In this hotel eaclr-guest is known by the number of his room Instead of his name, and it is rather odd to an Ameri­ can to be addressed as “Mr. 90," as though lie were a convict jn n peniten­ tiary. On each floor, day and night, arc to be found a maid, a valet and a waiter, who nre at your service and have free access to your roomp. When you come home at night, if you are a man, you find your clothes pressed and cleaned and carefully packed away in a chest of drawers. If you are a woman the maid attends to frills nnd furbelows, as though she were hired by yon especial­ ly. Guests never bother with their keys —the maid or valet on the floor takes charge of the key nnd is ready at any time to open your door. The editor of the Now York Christian Advocate learned not long since from a coachman that horses are not unlike human beings. He writes: “Hiding in a friend’s carriage one day, we no­ ticed that the coachman made constant efforts to restrain one of the horses nnd to hasten the other. As the pair were handsomely and jierfectly mated, we said: ‘What is the difference between these horses, that you are constantly touching up one nnd holding in the other?’ Said he: *The one that I whip cannot possibly overwork himself. I will not say that he is lazy, but he i» so made up that he never can nnd never will do himself any damage. It would be impossible to whip him so hard that he would hurt himself. The other can trot a mile in less than 2:23, and would trot from the love of it until he dropped dead. Hot or cold, he does his best.’ ” Philadelphia Sign*. The following placard Is displayed In • Philadelphia barber shop: “For the convenience of patrons brush nnd comb ere provided for each. No brush and comb will bo tt.scd twice without wash­ ing.

The woman was Mrs. John Wolf, formerly Miss Frank Gordnier. ■ Mr. and Mrs. Wolf have but recently moved to.town, and Hye with Mrs. Wolf's sister, Miss Laura Gordnier, in the south »part of town. Wednesday evening she had the horse out in the yard eating grass, and was holding it by a heavy rope, attached to the halter. In some manner the horse became frightened and started to run away, and the rope became tied about one of Mrs. Wolf's limbs, jerking her off her fbet and rendering her powerless to help herself. The horse ran into the street and turned north, dragging Mrs. Wolf at the end of Lbe rope. C. B. Marshall, the young son of J. B. Marshall, ran out and with a rare presence of mlnd*tried to cut the rope with a pocket-knife as the horse passed him, but he was thrown to the ground and failed to accomplish his object. T. C. Downing and Del. Ca­ zier tried to stpp the horse, but he swerved frqm his course and ran through Ira Miller's back yard. The helpless victim, dragging at the end of the rope, struck the end of a piie of wood, which was torn down, biiL the rope was too strong to break. Around through F. T. Boise's back yard, and out to the street again went the crazy animal in his wild career, Mrs. Wolf barely missing striking the stone foun­ dation of the house.

Young was immediately summoned and upon making a careful examination found that the only seri­ ous- injury the lady had sustained was a badly broken ankle. She was bruisedr of course, from head to foot, and the skin was torn off in many places, but she rested well during the night and yesterday was feeling bright and cheerful, In fact much better than could have been expected. The brok­ en limb was carefully set and friends and neighbors are doing everything possible to alleviate her suffering and make her as comfortable as possible. Soon after the accident Clint Jones got on the horse that had causeg the trouble, to go out in the country where Mr. Wolf was putting down a well, tu notify him of the accident, but the horse objected to being ridden and unceremoniously dumped Jones off, then ran and jumped into the buggy of Chas. Baker, the mail carrier, who was just passing, overturning the buggy, throwing out Baker, who was badly bruised*, and smashing the bug­ gy. Baker’s team then ran away but was caught before doing any damage. Altogether, it was a chapter of ac­ cidents and excitement such as the south slders have not-had for many a year, and which they are willing to forego for many years more. It seems almost miraculous that Mrs. Wolf was not killed, as all who saw the occurrence certainly thought she would be, and she Is being con­ gratulated by her many friends on her fscave from death, even though so badly injured. ......

That shiver reminded all that it wns getling late, too late for Mrs. Houghton to be out of dcKinr, nnd near the time when Mr. Epremont was to meet his ladies nt the hotel. Alice begged for Mrs. Hough­ ton’s address, nnd it was given with a whort, ironical laugh nt her promise to call •gain if possible. "Ay, if possible," the poor woman repeated. “1 understand! No, no." as Alba* was about to kiss her. “I won't have it done." "There's no one in sight." ’‘As if that made a difference!

Alice had to seek her friend in the' dreary qmtrteme of a tail house with dirty ■toae Htairs. It was a doleful, empty oh®, where, with a mannish looking dressing gown am! a torn lace scarf tied hood fashion over her scanty hair, Mrs. Houghton sat over a pan of charcoal op­ pressive to Alice’s English lung*. “Well, I really shall begin to think that •Dgete and ministers, of grace exist off Cha stage,” she »aid» “You pretty thing!

So she wont on talking, roughing at Interval*, and generally using a half­ mocking tone, ns if defying the tenderness that awoke in spite of her, but always of her original home, nnd especially of her sister. Alice ventured to nsk whether they often hen rd from one another. “GomI soul, she always writes at Christ­ mas nnd on tny birthday. I know an well ns possible that 1 shall find a letterJtoate restunte wherever site beard of me last, nnd that she hasn't done—I'm ashamed to say for how long—really. 1 think not since 1 let her know that 1 couldn’t stand Ivy Ixjdge, Dockfarth, at nny price, when she wrote to Monaco on seeing poor Hough­ ton’s death in the paper." As Alice wns finally taking leave, she naid, with n throbbing heart, “Do you know that you have twlrnyiMl yonr sister's address? I shall write to her nowA’ The spring was advancing. and’Mr. Eg­ remont wns in haste to be gone, but Alice obtained leave to once more climb up the ■ dark and dirty stairs to the room, where the well-known voice answered her tap, "Come in! Ah, there she Is, the wicked little angel!” , A substantial little roly-poly business­ like woman hurried forward with tearful eye* nnd outstretched hands. “Oh, Mrs. Egremont! can 1 ever thunk you enough?" “You can't, Anne, so don’t try. It will be a relief to all parties,' intcriKtsed Mrs. Houghton. "Sentiment is not permitted here." ' • Nevertheless she hugged Alice almost convulsively. She was sitting in a com­ fortable armchair, one about which Mrs. Egremont knew something, and the whole aspect of-the room had changed indescrib­ ably for the better, as much indeed aa Mrs. Houghton's own personal array, which had no longer the desolate neglect­ ed look of old. A little stool wns close to her’chnir. as if the two sisters could not bear to be far apart, ami the look of love and content in their eyes ns they turned to one an­ other was perfect joy to Alice. She had no longer any doubt that Anne Reade, who had found' the wanderer yet n great way off. would yet bring her back to the home, spiritually if nut outwardly. Mr*. Houghton spoke of better rooms when the winter visitors had fled. Anne spoke of her Mug able to return to Dockforth. Whether that would ever be seem­ ed entirely doubtful to Alice’s eyes, es­ pecially ns tbe patient's inclination wns evidently otherwise. There wns nothing to be done but to leave the sisters' to­ gether.' obtaining Miss Reade's ready promise to write, nnd putting into her hands a sum of money which could be sin­ cerely called "only a debt of gratitude from my husband and me," and which would smooth the way cither to remain­ ing or returning to England! Nor was there any return. Ere many weeks had passed Mrs. Egremont heard from Miss Reade how a fresh rold had made it impossible to move, aud summer heat had brought on low fever, which had destroyed the feeble strength, but not till “childhood’s star" had ngnin arisen, and a deeply and truly rejientant woman had passed away, saved, as it seemed, through that one effort on behalf of the young girl whose innocence she had pro­ tected. CHAPTER^XV. Mr. Egremont determined on producing his wife nnd daughter in tomdon nnd es­ tablishing their position. He secured a furnished house in Westburnia before leaving Nice. and. traveling leisurely home without visiting Bridgefield, he took pos­ session the second week in May. There had not'been much correspond­ ence with the rectory, and on the first fore­ noon. os Mrs. Egremont and Nuttie were trying to enliven the drawing room with the flowers sent up to meet them, they wore surprised by the entrance of Blanche, full of kisses nnd welcomes. “Oh! didn't you know? I’m with the Kirkaldys just round the corner. Aunt Margaret has undertaken to do the part of a noble aunt by me." "Then you are here for the season? And May?” "May wouldn’t come, except just for a week to see the pictures, nqd lay in a stock of talk. She's grown more paro­ chial than over, and we believe it is all Hugh Condamine. Oh! I forgot you were gone before we came homo last* autumn. He is tiinmina's nephew, you know, nnd was ordained last year to the curacy of the next parish to his father’s place.” “But is he engaged to May. thrnT’ "Well. no. not exactly. 1 believe he docs nut think it right till he has done preparing for priest's order*. I dare say you know nearly as much of Mark as we do. Annaple is not in Ixmtlon. The Del­ mars can't afford it, you know, though 1 believe my lady would have made a stretch if Annaple hadn't been bwqmke?' Alk-c looked with some discomfort at the soft fair-haired creature who was ut­ tering all this worldly jargon In n tone that would hove been flippant If it had not been ao childish. She asked if Lord Ronnisglen had written. “Oh, yes, long ago. And Mark aeenis to get on very well, though it must be hor­ ridly dull for him now the Kirkaldys are away, and hr can’t spend nil his Sundays at Monk* Horton.” “He will get more into the spirit of the place,” said Nuttie, whereat Blanche shrugged her shoulder* a little, and ex: claimed: “You’re got out of It at any rate, Nut­ tier “I hope not!" "Well, then, the look of it! I never saw any one so Improved! Isn’t she. Aunt Alice? She’s grown, I deciare!

But their stay in London did not Inst very long. Mr. 'Egremout's agent, by name Bplfinch. a solicitor nt Redcastle, came to him with iFrefragible proofs of gross itccuialion oil the part of the bailiff who managed the home farm. So ho eaiue home and sat by, whjle Ms wife and* Mr. Bulfinch did the work for him. nnd made it evident to him that the frauds had been of long standing, and carried on with tbe cnrraivance of the coachman and of Gregorio. But In spite of all. Mr. Egre­ mont refused to part with his valet. In the beginning of October Mr. and Mrs. Egmnout ’were invited* to a great shooting party at Sir James Jerningham's. at Waldieotca. The invitation did not include Ursula.

On tbe Tuesday Blanche went with her little sister and tbe governess on a shop­ ping expedition to Retleastle. and in re­ lating her adventures on her return, she said: “Oh, by the bye, I met Annaple in Park's shop!” •’Full of Micklethwayte news, I sup!><>se,” said May.

Arc you quite sure, Blanche?” “Oh, yes’ I am quite certain Annaple said Mark told her that Miss Headworth wns laid up with bronchitis.” “And nobody has written to us all this week!" sighed Nuttie. “I should think that a sign there could not be much in it." observed May; “it may be bnly a bad cold." “But Aunt Ursel had bronchitis four years ago. nnd wns very ill indeed,” per­ sisted Nuttie. “I'm sure it is bronchitis, and that she won’t let Miss Mary Write to us." She wns in much distress about it. It flashed upon her that if she wen* to hasten to Mk-klqthwnyte on this nln'rm before there could bo a prohibition, it would Im* no disobedience, and perfectly justifiable, not to say noble. Her parents were to return on Thursday evening. Nuttie ex­ plained mutters to the upper housemaid, who was very sympathetic, who carried down her orders for the carriage, pro­ cured for her both breakfast and provis­ ion for the journey, aud packed her clothes. Ursula would fain have been off before the rectory was aware, but the two little girls came up with a message about the plana for the day. just as nhe was beginning an explanatory note, and she intrusted to them the information that she was so uneasy about Miss Headworth that she had decided on going to sec fur herself. It was half-past seven o'clock that Ur­ sula Egremont’s cab stopped nt St. Am­ brose's Rond. She had missed the express train, and had to come on by a stopping one. But here at Inst she was, with eyes even by gaslight full of loving recognition, n hand full of her cab-fare, a‘heart full of throbbing hope and fear, n voice full of anxiety, ns she inquired of the aston­ ished servant, “Louisa. Louisa, how is Aunt Urael?" nnd. without awaiting the replj, she opened the adjoining door. There sat, with-her evening meal on the table, not only Mary Nugent, but Mias Headworth herself. Nuttie rushed at her, and there was an incohcrency of exclamations, the. first thing that made itself clear to the senses such thing! Only I bad a bad cold, and Mary here is only too careful of me.” “But Mark said you had bronchitis." “What could have put that into hi" head? He did not write it, surely?" “He u’rotc it to Annaple Ruthven, and she told Blanche." "Oh!" and Mary Nugent's tone was rather nettling. "And then it was such a terrible time since we bad heard anything,” added Nut­ tie. on the defensive.” "Did not your mother get my letterT’ said Miss Headworth. “I wrote to in r at —what’s the name of that place? I hope I addresseil it right." “Oh, but I was not there. I didn’t go with them.” “Ah. yes, 1 remember. Then did not she »en<i you?” “No. I came off this morning. I beard this yesterday evening, and 1 determined that nothing should slop me if there .was no news by the port." •’Dear child! But will your father not be displeased?" said Miss Headworth. "He hasn’t any right to object," cried Nuttie. with flashing eyes and a look that made Miss Nugent anxious; but at the moment there could be little thought save of welcome to the warm-hearted girl. Louisa was already brewing fresh tea, and extemtmriring additions to the meal, and Nuttic wns explaining how she hoped to have arrived a couple of hours sooner. *’By the bye. 1 meant to have written to mother for her to have it to-morrow before leaving Waldieote*. Is there time?" No. the pillar at baud was cleared at seven, and the regular postoffice could not be reached in time; so they satisfied themselves with the knowledge that Mrs. Egrvinout must have had Aunt Urael’s, cheerful letter, and Mary recommended telegraphing to the canon the first thing in the morning. Then they gave them­ selves up to enjoyment. “At any rate. I’m sure," said Nuttie, “and i’ll make the most of it.” She had quite a triumph the next day, as old friends dropped in for the chance of seeing her. The last agreeable encoun­ ter was that with Mark, who camo in on his way to the office, having just received by tbe second post a tetter from his father inquiring Into Miss Headworth’s state. He met Nuttio in the vestibule, with her ed to walk with Mary to the School of Art, Gerard Godfrey accompanying them no such thing. You don’t pretend that you Heard it from herself F' “No; but.

In this connection Mr. Mason sarcastically referred to the inaction of the Senate on all great questions before it. the long and fruitless debate on Cuba: the delay of the arbitration treaty nnd the inability to say whether onr difficulties are to be settled by arbitration or by the methods of Cor­ bett and Fitzsimmons.

That is to say, in tteir close ap­ plication an unusual amount of nervous energy is spent without the corresponding accumulation to take its place. This is to he regretted, as the world cannot afford to lose their usefulness. Recent developments from Dr. Wheeler's life study on the subject of the nerves has produced a'remedy for this evil; and those fortunate enough to avail themaclve of Dr. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer have had a renewal of nervous energy, and health restored. A notable instance is thai of Manly W. Burtch, superintendent of Welch Folding Bed Co., Grand Rapids, Mich. A man of unusual mental ability, who, unfortu­ nately, broke down with nervous trouble. Tbe use of Dr. Wheeler’s Nerve Vitalizer soon accumulated nervous energy, aa stated in his letter below: . take great pleasure in testifying to the value of Dr. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer. which I have personally tested, so that I know whereof r speak. My work, during the busy season, is very trying on the nerves; but after taking your Nerve Vitalizer a few times, I felt as if I could, if necessary, do two days’ work in one. 1 hope others may benehtted. as I have been, by Dr. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer.” Signed, Man­ ly W.

He is a uc'rvou* wreck, and his physicians fear that he is on the verge of a collapse. An experience of two days in the county jail completely prostrated the prisoner, and from the hour he entered the prison until late Sunday afternoon he did not taste food nor close an eye.' With the- exception of a few minutes Saturday afternoon lie did not leave his cell, but sat straining every nerve to catch the sound of the footstep of a friend coming to free him.

All of the executive departments arc re­ ceiving large numlters of letters from ex­ soldier* Indicating a general misunder­ standing as to tbeir rights to appointment to office. Many of the veterans who are after office seem to labor under the im­ pression that they can be np|s>inted to positions in the civil service without the formality <>f the examination or requisi­ tion on the Civil Service Commission. Thin is largely due to the fact that the law provides that ex-soldiers within the civil service who resign or who are displaced for cause other than their own fault may be reinstated to their old positions at any time. The law, however, makes no pro­ vision giving preference to soldiers in en­ tering the government service’ who have not been in the civil service befor . except that officials making requisitions on the Civil Service (.lommission for a list of eli­ gible appointee* may favor the veterans who may hapj>rn to be on that list.

Sunday was an­ other season dMuactivity as fnr ns trad­ ing was concerned. Then came the re­ ports of a battle between the Turks aud the Greek*, and tbe blood of the trader* began to boil—not with Indignation, but with a belief in a rising market. Monday morniug when tbe trading began there was an instant advance of nearly 4 cents. So general wa* the belief in the demand for breadstuff* from abroad, so fully bad the morning papers seconded the rejiortB of war in the East, so much more certain did a general conflict prove that from the moment of opening there was an advance even over the remarkable bulge at the start. Cent after cent was added to the ruling price. The scene in the wheat pit on the Board of Trade was ns wild as it ha* been in year*. There was a clamor that simply electrified the galleries—and there was a crowd up there from the be­ ginning. ns if a premonition of great things bad gone abroad. The advance waa fought bitterly as bear* could tight it. An advance of an eighth was the signal for the most frantic uproar. And when the opposing side succeeded in checking tbe advance a fraction of a cent, or in sending down the price n point, there wa* an even wilder demonstration. There was a time when a man could sell May wheat at 8 cents in advance, upon the closing price Thursday. September wheat sold down to 71*4 cents. The lowest point reached by July wheat was 73%c. At the opening, nnd for half nn Lour before, then1 was nothing but talk of war. It was fully believed that a wa: between Greece and Turkey meant a demand for grain. South America is shipping nothing.

The Senate passed the Indian appro­ priation bit, Monday. It Is substantially the same aa it passed the Hnu»e. and can occasion little division save on the amend­ ment O{ieniug the Uncompahgre Indian reservation. Resolutions of Inquiry were agreed to asking tbe Secretary of Slate as to the operation ot the reciprocity treaties made under the Mcl>!n|ey act. Mr. Vest introduced his renolntlon de­ claring illegal the recent order ot the Sec­ retary of the Treasury relatire to imports arriving after April I. After the execu­ tive session the Senate adjourned a* a mark of respect to Representative Mul­ liken. deceased. Senator Morgan's resolution declaring that a state of war exists in Cuba was discussed briefly in the Senate Tuesday and then went over for a week. The ag­ ricultural sppropriation bill was passed without amendment. A resolution by Mr. Hoar, was agreed to asking the Sec­ , rotary of-State for. comprehensive infor­ mation a* to tbe machinery of government of nil foreign nation* with which we have diplomatic relations, the taxes or excise* and methods of collection: Imports nnd ex­ ports; method of aiding the merchant ma­ rine: discrimination against American merchant veauad*; public lodebtedne**. etc. Another resolution by Mr. Cullom asked the Secretary of the Treasury far in formation n* to the effect of the pres­ ent internal■ revenue tax on tbe honest profiuctlon of dlatllled spirits, to what extent illicit distillation had occurretl. mid all further information that will aid in protecting the Government again*: frauds. The resolution went over after a brief discussion. Tbe House was nut iu session. Senator Mason, of Illinois, made his maiden speech iu the Senate Wednesday and signalized it by some breezy criticism on the rule* of the Senate. It was such a variation from the prosy debate of re­ cent days that the Senator was accorded close attention and twice received tbe hearty applause of crowded galleries. Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts, replied briefly. IKiinting out that the other branch of (.’irtigres* wa* more open to criticism than the Senate. He was iu accord with Mr. Mason, however, ou the need. of new rules. A vote wa* taken on Mr. Gor­ man's motion to refer the Mason resolu­ tion to the Rules Committee, which pre­ vailed—yens. 32: nays. 24. Most of the day was given to tbe bankruptcy bill. The House, qfter n ten-minute session, ad­ journed one day out of respect to the latq Representative Milliken, of Maine. The session of the Senate Thursday' opened with a proposition for nn official expression of sympathy to the Greeks in their atruggl- with Turkey. This wns soon merged into a turbulent debate over the disorganized state of the Senate. Later in tbe day the Nelson bankruptcy bill was itassed by the decisive vote of 49 to 8. The bankruptcy bill as passed is tbe substitute framed by Mr. Nelson of Minnesota^ The “free homestead bill" was then taken up. Mr. Morgan offered mi amendment providing thnt nil public lands not taken up by public entry by Jan. 1. 1900. shall be granted to the States and Territories where the land.* nre located for dedication purposes. ' The homestead bill wa* made the unfinished btuines.* nnd then laid aside. At 4 o’clock a mcsiage from the House announced the death of Representative Holman. Mr. Tnrple of Indiana presented a resolution voicing the regret with which the an­ nouncement was received and providing for a commistoc of five Senators to accom­ pany the remains. The resolution was agreed to. . The presiding officer nametl Senators Turple, Fairbank*. Spooner. Kyle and Rawlins as the committee. The Senate adjourned to Monday. The House did nothing of imjiortance. The House Friday completed the ctytsideration of the Senate amendments to the Indian appropriation bill aud sent the bill to conference. The main contention cen­ tered about the Senate proposition to open the I'ncomirahgre Indian reservation un­ der the mineral laud lawmx Finally an amendment was reconnuended to the ef­ fect thnt no corporation should be allow­ ed to obtain possession of these gilsonite deposits, but that the Government should lease the lauds iu limited arene and fot limited terms of years. The Senate amendment striking from the House bill the provision for tbe ratification of the oil nnd gas lease* made by the council of the Seneca,Indianr last December was dis­ agreed to. A resolution was,adopted by which a committee of twenty-five was ap­ pointed to attend the dedication of the Grant tomb in New York on Tuenduy. and the House agreed to a program of threeday adjournments.

As the President of a free people, the savior •f a country, the idol of million* of man­ kind. the story of his career cannot be told too often to tbuee who knew him as the most comma tiding figure of his time; •r the new generation, which, in the light of a fuller appreciation of his true grentaeas, venerate him as one' of the mostcommanding figures in all,history. Gen. Grant was born April 27, 1822. in a one-story building of two rooms in Point Pleasant. Ohio, twenty-five miles from the dry of Cincinnati. His father, Jesse Grant, a man of revolutionary stock nnd New England ancestry, was the foreman of a tannery, laboring hard to acquire n competence sufficient to enable him to em­ bark in baalucsa for himself. This be did in Georgetown, O.. whither he re­ moved in 1823. Here young Ulysses grew op. sturdy young lad. quiet, reserved, •elf-reliant. At the early age ot 8 we find him breaking bark into the ho|q»cr of the bark mill in bi* father’s tannery—a task he did not relish. Less than a year later he regularly drove a team on his father’s farm and at-the age of 10 he used tn drive to Cincinnati, forty miles distant. Xn winter be attended school in George­ town. and then in his 14th year he was •ent to*the Academy at Maysville. In 1839 came the turning point in his life. He entered West Point as a cadet. His name up to this time was Hiram Ulysses Grant, but in' the making out of hi* official appointment to the military school the name was written by mistake Ulysses 8.. and so it has over since re­ mained. Grant made commendable pro­ gress at West Point and had the distinc­ tion of being the best horseman in his das*. In 1843 hr graduated, and was as­ signed to t)io Fourth Infantry, stationed at Jefferson barracks. near St. Lonia. During the Mexican war he rendered valuable service, being engaged in every battle except one, nnd was promoted to a first lieutenancy. After the’ war ho wns stationed at various military posts and in 1853 was promoted to the captaincy of a company nr Humboldt bay, California. The following year he resigned his com­ mission nn,l engaged jn farming and real estate near St^l/jui*. This did not prove profitable and he secured a clerkship in ■ GF.N. V. 8. GRANT.

'When he sjuike he was hoard-dis­ tinctly by tbe 5XMX) peraons who stood directly in front of him.' The President said in part: « .

Never was such dem­ onstration of esteem and respect given a departing citizen. Distinguished mon from all over the country assembled to bld him good-by. On reaching Liverpool a reception, hardly inferior to the demon­ stration that ba de him godspeed ot home, awaited him. The river Mersey was alive with vessels bearing the flags of all na­ tions. The dorks were lined with thou­ sands, all eager to greet the griyit military genius, the ex-head of a powerful nation nnd a plain American citizen. In London lie wns ro.vived by the queen and the Prince of Wale* and be afterward visited the qnven nt Windsor. ' Banquets, balls, reccfilions and other entertainments were given in his honor an*! the member* of the aristocracy vied with one'another in extending courtesies and hospitalities to the great American. From England he went to the continent, nud the greetings there from crowned heads nnd the common people were such ns he had experienced in England. He next visited Italy, Egypt, the Holy Land. India and China. The Chinese paid him the grvincst honors that bad ever been bestowed on a foreigner. Prince Kung entertained him nnd he became the friend of the great Chinese, Li Hung Chang. Whct> Gen.. Grant returned from his world’s tour, his entire fortune did nnt amount to $100,009. looking around for a means of increasing his income, his at­ tention was directed to the hanking bnsin<*s» in which his son Ulysses. together with Ferdinand Ward ami James D. Fish, tvas engaged. Gon, Grant invested his $100,000 in the business. In 1881 he bought a house in New York, where h<> afterward spent his winters. Affairs moved very smoothly for the general un­ til, in 1883. ho fell on an icy pavement and sustained injuries from the effects of which ho never fully recovered. And then in May. 1884, entne another blow. The firm of Grant & Ward failed, bank­ rupting the general and the entire Grant family, who had invested their money in the concern. Two of the partners in the business had been guilty uf the most un­ blushing frauds. And then came out the shameful story of craft and guile in all it* .horrible proportions and it was seen that the.hpnorc<l name of Gen. Grant hud l>oen used to decoy hosts of friends aud acquaintances to their own injury ami his. After a little the world knew that his honor was unsullied. For a time Grant was in actual need of household expenses, but he directed his attention to writing his memoirs, knowing that their proceeds would be nil he would have to leave to his wife and children.

The Albert Memorial in London, the tomb of Kaiser Wilhelm in Berlin, ami the huge Germa­ nia upon the Niederwald were each con­ structed by governmental ngencie*. The Grant monument represents the loyal love nnd patriotic remembrance of a united people.

His reception wns flattering in. of States nnd the sovereign people from every section of our common country who joined in this august tribute to the sol­ dier. patriot aud citizen. Almost twelro years have passed since the heroic vigil ended, and the brave spirit of Ulysses S. Grant fearlessly took its flight. Lincoln and Stanton had preceded him. but of the mighty captains of the war Grant was the first to be called. Sherman and Sheri­ dan survived him, but have since joined him on the other shore.

Grant should have n memorial commensurate with hla greatness, and that hi* laat rest­ ing place should be the city of his choice, to which he was so attached in life and of whose tie* he waa not forgetful even in death.

While he was summoning help neighbors detected fire in the house and found that the body had been saturated with kerosene toil and set on fire. The flames were extinguished before the body was burned to any extent.

Caban Ipaarcenta Won a Victory In the Pnrgstorl Hill*. -Ttic engagement the Spanish had with Gen. Rudcriguez in the Purgatori Hills, which was reported as a decisive Spanish victory, turns out to hare been the re­ verse. The Spanish columns encounter­ ed the insurgents and attacked shandy, relying ou thHr superior force. The reb­ els retreated toward their camp and suc­ ceeded in playlug their old trick of draw­ ing the Spanish into an ambuscade. Gen. Castillo arrived with re-enforcements while Roderiguez wns engaging the Span­ ish and fell on their fiauk. The fighting lasted five hours, and in killed, wounded and prisoners the Spanish lost 280 men. News comes from Santiago tu Cuba that 3K> volunteers, headed by a priest and a prominent physician, have joined the in­ surgents because they were dissatisfied with the conduct of the Spanish authori­ ties and believed that Garcia would suc­ ceed in maintaining hla supremacy in the eastern province. The situation at Banes continues to command attention. Four cruiser* and several gun twat* have been ordered there to land a force to march on the port from the direction of Holquin. Th< reliel force in nnd near Banes is esti­ mated at 3,000. Gen. Weyler came quiet­ ly back to Havana, after a six weeks* trip to Santa Clara, during which, if he ac­ complished anything from a military standpoint, the fact ha* been most effec­ tually concealed.

IOWA RAILROADS FLOODED. Traffic at'* Standstill and the Water Still Rising. At Ottumwa, luwa, tbe river rose a foot during Sunday night, and is now higher than at any time since 187U. The damage will be enormous. The Burlington road, which had been kept open with a mighty effort, gave up at 11 o'clock, putting off main line communication between Chi­ cago and Denver. Of the six railroads the only trains moving were on tbe Wa­ bash. from the south, and the Milwau­ kee, from the north. Even tbe right- of way fendcs in many case* an* out of sight on the Rock island and Burlington ronds for miles. It is believed the tracks are washed entirely away. Even when the water recedes it will take days to re-establish communication. All near-by towns report conditions as bad.

Abd it was precisely a week after the campaign was formally opened- before anything decisive was accomplished on either side. . The victory of the Turks at Mat! and the subeequent evacuation of Tyrnavos and Larissa by the Greeks is probably the beginning of lhe end. The evacuation of Larisas leaves an open road far the Turk­ ish invasion for nearly half the distance to Athens. This does not mean that the march to Athens will be an easy affafcor speedily 'accumi>Ushe<l. The Greeks fight desperately in retreat, and,when they have lost one fight they are ready to fight again. Under theoe circumstances—with the reserves reaching the front and the whole population aroused and armedeven the Turkish victory at I-arisss will simply mean more hard fighting along the now line of defense which Prince Con­ stantine's force* have taken np.

But when there was reason to think that success had l»een complete, when Miss Headworth had been persuaded by Mary that it was wiser on nil accounts not to mortify Alice by refusing the two .guineas a week offered for Mis* Egremont's expenses: when a couple of boxes of jdothes and books had arrived, and Ursula found herself settled at Mickle­ thwayte till after Christmas, she began first to admit to herself that somehow tbe place was not all that it had once been to her.

But there was no relenting. The two young people avoided each other; and per­ haps Nutlie was secretly relieved that the romance she bad outgrown no longer en­ tangled her. CHAPTER XVII. “On the 14th of January, at Bridgcfield Egremont, the wife of Alwyn Pierccfield Egremont, Esquire, n son nnd heir.” Ursula bad been prepared for this event for about a fortnight by a long tender let­ ter from bcr mother, mourning over the not meeting at Christmas, and the long separation, but saying that she had wish­ ed to spare the long anxiety, and that it had been n trying time which the felt herself abl* to cope with better alone, than even with her dear Nnttie. knowing her to be happy and safe with Aunt Ursel.

MIm Headworth forgot all her resolu•tx-ns about Mr. Egremonfs hospitality— her Alice was her only thought. Ursula' seemed absolutely stunned. She never thought ot such a frightful loss or grief, nnd her mental senses were almost |>aralysed, *o that she went through the jour­ ney in a -kind of surface trance. Canon Egremont came out to tho front hall to meet them, and put his arms round Nuttie tenderly, saying. “My poor dear child!" then as he saw he had frightened them, “No, no! She is alive—conscious, they say. only so very weak.” It was plain from his manner that be had given up hope; and in another minute in hurried his brother, looking terribly haggard and with bloodshot eyes, giving his hand to each, with “That’s right. Miss Headworth, thank you. Come, let me know what you think of her.” Alas! when Mrs. William Egremont came down to fetch Nuttic, there was no question that matters were much worse. The sweet face was perfectly white and wasted, and the heavy lids of the dork eyes scarcely lifted themselves, but the lips moved into a smile, and the hand closed on that of the girl, who stood by her as one frozen into numbness. -There was the an mo recognition when her aunt was brought to her side, the poor old lady commanding herself with difficulty. as the loving glance quivered overxhe face. Time passed on, and she rftill held Nut­ tie’s hand. Once, when n little revived by some stimulant at her lips,: she made an effort and said. “Stay with him!* Take care'of him! Love him! And your little brother, my Nuttie! Promise!” g “I promise." the girl answered, scarce knowing whnt she said. And the ryes closed with an nir of peace and rest, and all was over. CHAPTER XVIII. Nuttie was going about, dry-eyed and numbed, glad of any passing occupation that would prevent the aching sense of desolation at her heart from gaining force to overwhelm her; conrting employment and shunning pity and condolence, but she could not escape when her uncle took her hand, made her sit down by him. with “I want to speak to you. my dens;" and told her briefly and tenderly whnt her mother’s effort hnd been, to bring father nnd daughter together, nnd reminded her ot the promise she had made at her moth­ er's deathbed. The poor girl's heart faint­ ed within her. “Oh, but. Uncle William, how can I? How can I ever? Mother could do things I never could! He did care for her. He doe* not care for me!” “You must teach him to do so, Not­ “Oh!” she said, with n hopeless sound. The canon did not think it very hope­ ful in his heart, but he persevered, ns in duty bound. “I told your dear mother that perimp* you would succeed where she thought she bad failed, though indeed she hnd done much. It made her happy. So. my dear child, you are bouud to do your best.” “Yes;” then, after n pause—“But moth­ er could coax him and manage him.

What can I do?" “I think you will find that he depends upon you more,” said the canon, “and !(. may be made easier to you, if you only set your will to it.” “If I ought. I’ll try,” said poor Nuttie, more humbly perhaps than she hnd ever spoken before, but in utter dejection, and her uncle answered her like a child. “There, that’s a good girt. Nobody can do more.” For the cation hnd one hope. He bad not thought it becoming to speak to her of-the counter influence, but he could not help thinking it possible that if he'nud hl* son. backed by doctor nnd lawyer, made a long pull, a strong pull, aud a pull to­ gether, they might Induce his brother to part with Gregorio, and this would ren­ der Ursula's task far leas impossible. He was confirmed In this hope by finding that Mark's arrival wns not unwelcome to Mr. Egremont, who seemed to hare for­ gotten the unpleasantness with which be hnd regarded the engagement, and only remembered that his nephew hnd been Alice’s companion, resuming old customs of dependence, making him act ns amanu­ ensis, and arraigning the destiny that bad restored so lovely nnd charming a crea­ ture only to snatch her away, leaving nothing but a headstrong girl and a help­ less baby. That poor little fellow was all that could be-desired at his age. but Nuttie felt her beautiful mother almost insulted when the elder ladies talked of the wonderful resemblance that the cnnones* declared! to have been quite startling in the earlier hours of hi* life. For the convenience of one q£ tbe sponsors, he was to be christen­ ed in the afternoon following the funeral, the others being—by his mother’s special entreaty—his sister and Mnrk. Egremont customs were against the ladies going to tbe funeral, so that Nuttie was kept nt home, much against her will; hut after the luncheon she escaped, leaving word with her nunts that she wa* going to walk down to church alone, and they were twrry enough for her to let her have her own way, especially as her father, haring been to the funeral, hnd shut himself up and left all the rest to them. She fled into the church on the first sounds of arrival and hid herself In the friendly shelter of the great family pew; but she had to come out and take her jduce, though she could hardly utter a word, and it was all that ahe could do to keep from sobbing aloud; she could not hand tbe babe, and tbe canon had to take on trust the name “Alwyn Headworth,” on her trembling lipa. It was soon over; and while the baby and his attendants, with Miss Head worth, were being packer! in’o the carriage, and her uncle and aunt bowing off the grand godfather, she clutched her cousin's arm and said: “Mark, where’s Mat Dutton?" “1 am tw.rry for your disappointment,* fashioned •■unugh to, be glad that such strong ros|>cct nud feeling should be *lu>wu for yw«r dear tnoth.-r.

'The is then said r, ‘ lobbyist u to have remarked that it would be worth $23 to him to get the bill through, and it is also charged that the latter said to Mr. Clark that hr lacked just six votes, and that If he (Clark) would vote for the bill there would be $25 in it Tor him. Later Clark told members of the Public Health Committee about the conversation, and ♦ome of them were so greatly chocked they deemed investigation necessary. Tbe com­ mittee will thoroughly investigate the case t>efore It is laid before tbe legislature. The House Tuesday passed these bills-. Prohibiting killing of prairie chickens for five years; requiring that printing of tax sale notice* ab^ll go to newspapers estab­ lished at least one year; to enforce mak­ ing of factory improvements ordered by factory Inspectors: permitting hotel or boarding house keepers to sell luggage held for board; prohibiting the charging of fee* in probate courts for preparation of executor's bond; to prohibit combina­ tions of fire insurance companies; to pre­ vent the debauching of boys; prohibiting the payment of employes in store orders, without consent of such employes. In the Senate the following were passed: Amending pure food law; amending act to confirm the record of letters of attor­ ney relative to transcript copies of deeds and other instruments; requiring rail­ roads to carry bicycle* a* baggage, imme­ diate effect: designating the apple blossom as the State flower; for return by asylum authorities of patients to their homes when «uch patients are cured: for the licensing of insurance companies to in­ sure against loss or damage resulting from burglary, also the loss of securities or money in transit by registered mail; for the taxation of 2U, per cent on tbe groag earnings of plank road companies. The following appointments were made Wednesday by Gov. Pingree, tbe first named disposing of all speculation aa to the Governor’s intention to make Prof. C. L. Bemis of Chicago Michigan's labor commissioner: Joseph L. Cox, Battle Creek, commissioner of labor; Jerome H. Bishop, Wyandotte, to ’ succeed J. T. Hurst of Wyandotte as member of board of control of State house of correction at Ionia: Frank Wells, Lansing, to succeed himself as member of State Board of Health: Albert Pack, Alpena, to succeed. Edward Lowe, Grand Rapids, ns member of board of managers of Mackinaw Island Park; L. E. Reynolds. St. Joseph, to suc­ ceed C. A.

Ypsilanti, to succeed William J. Stuart, Grand Rapids, as member of board of control of Michigan asylum for Insane at Kalamazoo. The bill requiring the Gov­ ernor to make all appointments during tbe legialstivr session or leave incumbents In office until the next Legislature con­ venes was killed in the House. Tbe Sen­ ate passed the bill prohibiting prize fight­ ing nnd all other fistic encounters in Michigan. In the Senate Thursday fourteen vote* were-cast for and fifteen against the bill reducing the rates of passenger fare on upper peninsular roads from 4 to 3 cents per mile. This was a larger vote for the1 bill than tbe opposition anticipated, and the latter was still more surprisedXvhen a motion to table the vote to reconsider failed to carry. Tho vote was reconsid­ ered and another effort will bo made to pass the bill. The railway foH>y is much nlnrmed lest this is an index of the clOseneM of rhe vote on all pending railroad bills. Tbe bill prohibiting the sale of cigarettes to or by persons under 17 years o/ age ha* passed both houses. Gov. Pin­ gree vetoed the Donovan curfew bill, which provided for tho arrest of children allowed upon the streets after 9 p. m. The Governor characterize* tbe act as inter­ ference by the State in matter* of purely domestic concern. The war on express companies lias been ■ ommenced iu earnest in the Legislature. It is proj>o*ed to push Senate bills doub­ ling the sf>ecdfic tax paid by these com­ panies, and there is a pending resolution instructing the Attorney ^General to pro­ reed to collect taxes claimed, to be due for former years. The claim grows out of the contention that the companies have paid only on their actual business in Mich­ igan, making no account of interstate bus­ iness. In the House Friday favorablr report* were made on bills prohibiting express companies from charging extra for dwivering package* anywhere withi» the city limits, and also prohibiting great­ er charge being made where freight goes over two line* than for a like package for similar distance over one hne. The House has agreed to a bill providing a heavy penalty for exhibiting kinetos<->i>e repro­ duction* of prize fights or glove contests. The Senate passed the Sawyer bill requir­ ing railroad companies to maintain bell signal* at ail crossings designated by the Commissioner of Railroads. A Remarkable Book. Tbe most curious book In the world Is neither written nor printed. Its pages are composed of the finest qual­ ity of vellum, and tbe letters were with Infinite pains and trouble cut out of tbe material with a sharp knife or pair of delicate scissors, says tbe St. Louis Globe-Democrat. It Is Interleaved with blue paper, and tbe letters can, therefore, be read as easily as any print. It formerly belonged to tbe Prince de Llgne and is now in the library of a noble French family. Tbe title of the book Is, “Uber Passion!* Domini Nulla Materia Compoaitls;’’ ’n English, “The Book of tbe Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, In Characters. Without Materials of Composition." The matter la a homily, probably xunposed by some monastic preacher of '.he middle ages. A remarkable circum­ stance connected with this book 1* the fact that, although It bnars tbe royal arms of England, no mention of it can be found In any English writing. The book Is believed to have been made some time In the thirteenth or four­ teenth century. In 1640 tbe Emperor Rudolph offered for It 11.000 ducats ($08,000), but wss refused.

An unusual scene was presented in ths Circuit Court at Port Huron Wednesday, tbe judge directing a verdict of guilty in a criminal case owing to the peculiar ac­ tions of a juror. The case on trial was that of the people against Maurice Joy, charged with selling liquor to a minor. The proofs had all been put in and the attorney for the defense had made his ar­ gument to the jury when it was discover­ ed that George Sharrow, one of the jurors on the case, was considerably under the influence of liquor and had been discuss­ ing the merits of the case on trial with hi* fellow jurors. It is also claimed that dur­ ing the noon recess Sharrow visited 8lonibn’s saloon, where the defendant is em­ ployed as bartender, and upon his return to court sought to influence another juror. When the matter was brought to tho at­ tention of Judge Vance he promptly clos­ ed the case and directed the jury to bring in a verdict of guilty. Afterwards Judge Vance set rhe verdict aside aud the case will have to be tried again. The offending juror was remanded into tbe custody of the sheriff to appear later and answer to the charge ot contempt of court. Fatal Forgetfulness.

SOME ONE SAID THAT— It’s no fun cleaning house. Mosquito time is not far distant. A filvorce case in one of our best families is liable to be tbe next sensa­ tion. \ Nashville needs a couple more good factories. Our high school boys play pretty good ball. It pays to advertise, no matter what business you are in. One of our fishermen caught a trout, but we don’t believe it. Nashville merchants are doing a good business just a present. Settled weather is now an assured thing. What’s the matter of having a little ice mixed in with it. A Certain Nashville man walked to Thornapple lake recently to fish, be­ cause he was too tired to help his wife clean house. Tbe village street committee are go­ ing to put in many needed repairs on our highways. Good thing, gentle­ men, give ’er a shove. There are a few boys in town who delight in getting out nights, afterevery body else Is in bed, and making a great disturbance. Tbe marshal will be compelled to take some of them before a magistrate ere fung if it is not stopped.

HOW TO FIND OUT Fill a bottle or common glass with urine' and let it stand twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too fre­ quent desire to urinate or pain in tbe back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order. We have in stock a number of factory harness, and as we have decided to carry only our own make of Harness, we will close out these factory goods at unheard of prices ’ We are headquarters for Lap Robes, Dusters and Fly Nets Elegant stock at prices that will suit you.

It corrects Inability to bold urine and scalding, pain In passing it, or bad effect following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urin­ ate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands tbe highest for its wofaderfnl cures of the most distressing cases. If you need a medicine you should have the best.

COOPER UUDUUU BUSINESS DIRECTORY la the season for purifying, cleansing, and renewing. The accumulations of waste icy grasp la.broken and on all aides are indications of nature’s returning life, renewed force, and awakening power. Spring Is the time .for purifying the blood, cleansing the system and renewing the physical powers. Owing to close con­ finement, diminished perspiration and other causes, in the winter, impurities have not passed out of the system as they should but have accumulated in the blood. Spring Is therefore the beat time to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, because the system la now most in need of medicine.

Tuesday he procured a quant­ ity of chloroform and with the skill of a Hastings physician administered It to him in chunks. The cat was socia­ ble enough and took it down like a monkey would a banana, seeming to enjoy it, until a few minutes had elapsed, when he passed into the arms of Morpheus, and seemed to fall into his last sleep. Fred who had been enjoying the ef­ fects of the drug a lout as effectually as the cat, was compelled to quit the operation and seek relief, and it was some little time before he regained his usual composure. Meanwhile the cat had quietly arose and saunt­ ered off to a more quiet position to sleep off his drunk. But the cat came back, for he couldn't stay away. In the evening, after Fred had recovered from the effects of the chloroform and was congratulating himself upon the absence of the cat, and just as he was squaring himself around the board for his evening meal, what should he see but Tabby in his old accustomed place awaiting bis portion of the evening meal, In the meantime, chanting low melodies which made Fred's heart fair­ ly Jump with surprise to see the cat back.

In the first place, it Is well known that the common or black bees do not increase to such an extent under the same conditions as do the Italian bees. The honey season has also much to do with It.

He as­ serted that ns amended the document was most objectionable, not to any contradic­ tory in Its terma. He pointed out espe­ cially the provisions for the settlement of the controversies in regard to territo­ rial claims ond asserted that whereas the amendments adopted by the Senate to the first article of th<>£reaty declared against their . inclusion,^tlkose to the sixth and eighth articles'made a provision for them. He hold that as long as these articles re­ mained unchanged England justly would claim that its questions of territorial rights were still included within the scope of the treaty. Under such circumstances, he asked, what was to prevent England from purchasing the island of Cuba or any’ other American territory, and in case of objection on the part of the United States insisting upon reference of the dispute to arbitration. He spoke of the conduct of England in connection with the GrecoTurkish war and implored the Senate to protect the I nited States against the pro­ posed alliance. PHARSALOS IS FALLEN.

It is very good of her. She is quite a little mother to him.” ■ “I was sure It would bo so," said Mr. Dutton. "Yea; it was a country house when I was of the age of this little mnu. though you might not-think it.” "Thr increase of London had not been on that shir?’ said Mr. Egremont. "This must be a very valuable projlcrty.’* And Nuttie perceived that «uch nn in­ heritance made Mr. Dutton much more in his eyes than an ex-umbrella monger; but no sooner was the tnll iron gate opened thnn Monsieur, beautifully shaved, with all bis curly tufts in perfection, ••nine bounding to meet his master, nnd Alwyn had his arms round his neck in a moment.

Then the halfpenny was presented to him. He wagged bis queer tail, smiled with his iuteiligcnt brown eyes, took it between his teeth, nnd trotted* across the street in the most business-like way, the others following, but detaining the* boy from keeping too close.

He received his bun. and demurely dropping on bis front legs, walk­ ed back with It to his master, nnd cross­ ed the road with it uneaten, rather to Alwyh’s disappointment, but Mr. Dutton said he would probably dispose of it in some hiding place in the garden "until his evening appetite came on.

Mr. Dutton made them sit nnd rest, for this had been a good deal of exercise for Mr. Egremont; coffee was brought in. haring been ordered on their arrival, and therewith Mr. Dutton enterml on nn ex­ position of 'the affaire of Greenleaf it Goodenough, which was listened to with a good deal of interest, though Nuttie could not quite detect whether it were altogether frtedly interest in Mark's misfortnnes, or if there were not a certain triumph in the young man having run into trouble by rejecting his offer. • Mr. Dutton«explniued that his present object was to induce the friends of the family ,0 prevent annoyance by preserving the furniture and personal* at a valuation;' and Mr. Egremont readily agreed to con­ tribute to doing this, though be had said the sister* and stepmother were well able also to do thrir share. “And then to give the young people a fresh start," addc<l Mr. Dutton. CHAPTER XXL The agony of a firm like Greenleaf. Goodenough & Co. could not be a rapid thing, nnd Mr. Dutton lived between Lou­ don and MIcklcthwaytoTor several week*, haring much to enduro on all sides. The senior partners thought it an almost ma­ licious and decidedly ungrateful thing in him not to throw in his means, or at any rate, offer his guarantee to tide them over difficulties. Goodenough's tergiversa­ tions nnd concealments-needed a practic­ ed hand and acute head to unravel them.' and often deceived Mr. Greenleaf himself; and when, for n time, be was convinced that the whole state was so rotten that a crash was inevitable, his wife’s lamenta­ tions nnd complaints of Mr. Dutton would undo the whole.’aud it was ns if he.were doing them nn injury that the pair accept­ ed the comfortable prospect he was able to offer them in Australia. Ho would have made the like proposal to the Egremont*, but found that Mark held himself bound by hl* promise to his father not to emigrate, aud thought of some kind of office work. Before trying to procure this for him, however, Mr. Dutton intended to sec bis uncle, nnd try whether the agency of the hon^f fnjrn; which Mr. Egremont had once offered to his nephew but hnd twen rejected, could srill be obtained for him. I .earning from Miss Nugent that the Egremont* were in town, be went up thither with the pur­ pose of asking for nn interview.

The Michigan Political Science Asso­ ciation held its ninth regular meeting at the Saginaw city hall, a number of dis­ tinguished visitors being present from throughout the State.” The question of the business prosperity and industrial progress of the State of Michigan is the central thought of these meetings, aud for thia reason they are i-specially, luteresting to business men. The president. Judge John W.' Champlin, of Graud Rapids, called the meeting to order and In his annual address, which was the first fea­ ture. he covered a broad range of subj> * t. His theme-was "Ind'aMrinl parity and the Menns to Bring It About.” He confined himself to Michigan in tho main and spoke of the present industries of the State. Agriculture, he claimni, was the real foundation of Industrial pros­ perity ftLd the figures he gave amply bore put this statement. He spoke of the memorial of the Federation of Labor, that was presented tq Cougresa recently, in which it was stated that there were 3,000,000 wage earner* in enforced idle­ ness. The Judge offered ns a suggestion that as there are several millions acres of arable land owned by the Government, that it furnish each head of a family and each single man of the unemployed a cer­ tain numluT of acres,'furnish transporta­ tion and build him a home, furnish it. give him stock, farm implement*, provide him and his family with clothing and ' sustain him for three yenrs until hj has a good start. This, he urged, would get these unemployed into the producing class of people. This may be the quintessence of (tatcrnalism-. he said, but it was a kind of paternalism in which he believed. Tho remedy for financial depression lay in na­ tional. State, municipal and domestic re­ trenchment and reform. The other fea­ tures of the program included nn able ad­ dress by W. A. Couts of Charlotte on "Financial Depression," which was fol­ lowed by a discussion. A pa|wr by presi­ dent Angell of the Michigan University, who was a .member of the deep water­ ways commission, was rend by Prof. Tay­ lor. in which the "Project of deep water­ way from thi; lakes to the sea." was dis­ cussed. President Angell advocated a waterway leaving Lake Ontario nt Oswe­ go and going by Oneidn I-ake and the Mohawk valley to the Hudson. The pa­ per was a long nnd exhaustive one nnd full of suggestions, some of which, the consensus of opinion of those who dis­ cussed them afterwards was. were im­ practicable on account of tbe cnonnouk cost .that would be entailed.

Owners along tbe river were seen and options secured ,upon nearly l.tkA) acres. The price paid averages $30 nn acre. It now transpires that the laud4. wanted and will be nerd by a company of capitalists who will erect a dam across the river about two and onehalf miles from Allegan. .The land pur­ chased will be nearly nil overflowed. Aa near ns can be found out the dam will be a steel structure, built on latest scientific principles, and when completed will give the projectors of the scheme the best wnter power in thr State. An abundance of water nnd twenty feet fall is what Is claimed. What thr power will be used for is still a secret. The only answer so tones.” It is underwtoe ’ that work on the dam will rommeatr within the next ten days, or so soon as the land ia all properly conveyed to the company. After a night of wrangling, during which thr jurors were divided seven to fire, seven for conviction as charged, as­ sault with intent to murder, and five for assault with intent ro do great bodily harm less than the crime of murder, an agreement was reached in the McCoy case at Muskegon. The verdict returned was guilty of assault with intent to do great iiodily harm. McCoy says he ia well sat­ isfied with the result, as well satisfied as a man can be who sees ten years of prison life ahead. He denies he ever informed any of the other prisoners that he would commit suicide, but states he told one of the men he would jus: as soon be dead as to be sentenced for life. The • hild DI«M. A case in which thr inefficiency of faith cure was made alarmingly manifest came to light at Traverse City. Winifred DeFurest. aged 11. wa* taken sudden.y ill Sunday afternoon while attending a Christian scientist meeting. Medical at­ tendance was refused sud the case was treated by the Christian science method by Mrs. W. E. Albright. The child died. Citizens circulated a petition for a coro­ ner’s inquest, and public sentiment la strong against tbe mother and the scient­ ist interested. The coroner's jury found that the child came to her death by malig­ nant diphtheria and rendered a verdict censoring severely tbe mother and Mr*. Albright for refusing to call medical aid and decided that gross negllgeuce was in­ strumental in causing death. Minor State Matters.

The law passed ia 1895 provides that no pound.net fiabiug may be dons In any of the waters connecting Lake. Huron and Eric, but one little vpo< i» ex­ cepted. This ia the part of Late St. Clair lying between a line drawn across said lake easterly two mile* north of Windmill point lighthouse and a fine drawn easterly across the lake from the mouth of Milk river. This spot was con­ trolled by one fisherman who thus had a monopoly of the business in Lake 8t. Clair. Zimmerman’s bill knocks it out. No business was transacted in tbe Senate because of tidings of tbe great loss suffer­ ed by Senator Colman in the death of his only child, a »onT2 years old. Two years ago, when the Legislature revised the laws for canvassing votes cast st general election*, it inadvertently omit­ ted any proviaion whatever for canvass­ ing the vote east for presidential electors.

Those who wished to conduct international cor­ respondence had to consult charts or go to the postoffice and figure out the amount.

Points fell In price from 40 to 25 cents, and other parts in pro­ portion; farmers appreciated the change In price and began using their goods almost entirely. This the plow manufacturers soon realized meat a loss of traile to them. Did they offer to meet the conditions by reducing their price equally as much? Not any; but set about an attempt to close these institutions so no more cheap repairs could be obtained. There were a few of these Institution.", among them the Hastings Engine & Iron Works, on which this game Of bluff did not work. Failing in this a num­ ber of tbe leading manufacturers, and among them the Oliver Chilled Plow Co., banded together to try their scheme >>n the retailers nnd through them, the farmers. They placed in their contracts a clause forbidding the agent to handle any repairs not made by them. I here give thb clause word -for word as In the contract: .“The handling of bogus or Imitation Wheat 80 cts. Oats 15 cts. Hay to 18 Eggs 7 cts. Roll Butter 10 eta.

At owner’s barn Mondays and at Baker’s barn, In Nashville Saturdays. whom they please, where they please and at the very lowest price possible, I refused aud told them they could take their contract and go. I deem it a queer condition of things when a manufacturer for whose goods a farm­ er has paid full price and who in these times needs the benefit of tbe very lowest price possible for his repairs, to say to him, “now sir, we propose shut­ ting off your supply of cheap repairs and you must hereafter get them of us atour price.” This is wby wc no longer handle the Oliver plow. I have some repairs on band and shall con­ tinue to handle wheels, jointer points, landsides and etc. as before. I asked agent, “supposing in order to obtain factory repairs for plows not handled here now, but made hundreds of miles away, It makes points cost double what a Hastings point does, how then?” He replies, “that makes no difference, make ’em pay the kll” I wish to notify my customers that I have now on hand an assortment of plows long used, fully tested in this territory and fully warranted. I will make tbe price right and sell you a Hastings or factory point as yon choose for 25 cents. I ask you to read again the clause referred to and then remember 1 am still to business at the old stand. I understand now that tbe man whom the Oliver people are keeping here to work the farmers is stating to those owners of Oliver plows wbo are complaining because their plows broke points so, that l>bad been instructed by the company in all such cases to give new standards free. In answer to this I would say the statement is false, and 1 here­ to offer to test their sincerity now by tbe following offer: To every owner of an Oliver plow bought of me whose main standard has caused It to break points and they have procured new ones of me and paid for them; that to him I will return the retail Drice whenever the Oliver Co. will re­ turn me the wholesale price I paid them for such standards.

Again has the season arrived when the friends and patrons of our public schools gather to bear exercises fur­ nished by the different grades, and again has a brilliant success been achieved and another brilliant enter­ tainment added to the series which has been given during the past few years. Whatever the class of *98 may have desired in the way of a fine evening, a large and appreclatlve'audience, was arranged perfectly by the power that controls such matters, and these con­ ditions together with the splendid program furnished by the class com­ bined to make a very enjoyable even­ ing, to which they may look back with a degree of pride which will certainly be-profitable, inasmuch as the general opinion seems to be that these were the best exercises which have thus far been given in the history of the Nash­ ville schools. Long before the hour for the begin­ ning of the exercises people ixjgan to gather at the opera house and passed a very pleasant time listening to the excellent music furnished by the Ver­ montville orchestra. Promptly at eight o’clock the class entered and Cook their places upon the stage, keep­ ing perfect time to the class march, ably rendered by Miss Agnes Felgbner. • When everyone was settled, Mrs. W. J. Wilson took her nlace at the pi­ ano and gave a flue rendition of Scharuenka's Polish Dance, which elicited boarty applause. Rev. E. .E. Branch followed with a touching in­ vocation of Divine blessing upon the class In their coming years of life. Mrs. O. M. Bullinger and Miss Lida Felghner then gave a vocal duet, "O! How Sweet The Hunter’s Song," which was very pretty, and sung Ina manner which will add to the favor with which they are always greeted when they appear before a Nashville audience. • To Miss Elsie L. Hough was as­ signed the part ot Salutatorian and she discharged her duty with credit to herself and honor to her clas*; her sa­ lutatory showed careful thought and was delivered with such distinct and forcible enunciation that every word could be beard in every part of the house. Mr. Harry H. White came next with a hne recitation, full of good counsel and advice, entitled: "The Value of a Reputation’-, which was delivered in a manner that added force and weight to the subject matter. Mr. II. W. Walarth’s clarinet solo, ‘Grand Fantasia on Home Sweet Home", was one of the finest things of the evening. The solo was a most dif­ ficult one, but Mr. Wai rath handled it like a master and there was not a flaw in his perfect execution; The audience was spellbound and when he had finished burst into applause which continued without interruption until Mr. Walrath consented to giv^ a second selection. Miss Ava L. Boise followed with an excellent essay upon the very sug­ gestive class motto, "Try, Trust, Tri­ umph"; The fine command of language shown in the essay was especially worthy of mention. Next upon the program came the "giant”of the class, Charley Smith, with a humerous rec­ itation entitled, "The Pilgrims and the Peas." And then as if by special arrangement the next and last num­ ber of the class was the class history, written by R. B. Hayes Tieche. Mr. Tleche must certainly have the dis­ tinction of presenting this siTbject in a more unique and original manner than any of bls predecessors and he was heartily applauded.for his effort. Mrs. W. M. Ferry then delighted the audience wltbavocal solo, and re­ ceived an enthusiastic encore, show­ ing that she still bolds the foremost place in the hearts of the music lov­ ing people of Nashville. Supt. H. B. Andrus in a few. well chosen words introduced the Commis­ sioner, Flora J. Beadle wh(F gave the address of the evening upon the sub­ ject, "The Beautiful in Character." Miss Beadle has earned a state reputa­ tion as an able, logical and convincing speaker and her effort of last Friday evening could du naught but add to the laurels she has already won in this line of work, for which she seems so well suited, both by culture and nat­ ural ability. The address showed the most careful ‘thought in its prepara­ tion, care in selection of apt illustra­ tions and beautiful language, which, together with the earnest manner in which it was delivered, combined to make one of the finest addresses which a Nashville audience has had the pleasure of listening to for a long time. A beautiful vocal trio by Mrs. Ferry Jfrs. Bullinger and Miss Lj’dia Felgh­ ner, followed by the benediction by Rey. E. E. Branch, closed the even­ ing's program, although nearly every- one of theJarge audience remained to hear two more numbers furnished by the orchestra. After a few words of congratulation and good will, all left for their respec­ tive homes, highly pleased with the pleasant evening theyhad passed as guests of the class of ’93. THE PRIZE WINNERS. Some Great Lists of Conundrums Were Entered. Our conundrum contest closed last Saturday night, and while there were not as many entries as we had hoped for, the excellence of the list submit­ ted makes up for the lack of numbers. The first prize, 85.00 in gold, is easily won by Ralph G. Sparde, ofMinneapolls, Minnesota, who sent in a list of 530 conundrums, some of them of rare merit. The second prize, 82.00 in cash and The News one year, goes to Miss Elsie Smith of Nashville, whose list com­ prised 320 conundrums, nearly all of them good ones. The third prize, 81.00 in cash and The News for one year, goes to Miss Maude Welcher, of Lacey, Mich. This comprises all the prizes offered but we haye decided to add a fourth prize, to consist of a year’s subscrip­ tion to The New’s, which will be giv­ en to Kate G. Leland, of Las Animas, Bent Co., Colorado. The three winning lists were an­ nounced to apoear in this week’s News. We have decided to change our mind In regard to that, as the three winning lists would require all the space we have in The News and not leave us any room for local news or correspondence. Instead of doing that, we have decided to bunch the lists and will run sections of them from time to time as our space will permit. A number of conundrums are doubled up io many of the lists, and some of them run through nearly all of the lists. But the lists, taken as a whole, are good, and we believe contain many original conundrums. RALLY WEEK. Following is the program for the rally week of the Epworth League to be held at the M.

The Tigers of the Nashville High School went to Hastings Saturday afternoon to play the return game with the Hastings school team. The Hastings boys must hav« felt a little sore over .their defeat here of two weeks ago, for they had bills printed announcing that the Nashville "Kick­ ers’' wduld play the Hastings "Slug­ gers.” Well, the Nashville "Kickers,” who don’t kick, just went down and neatly wolluped the Hastings "Slug­ gers" who can’t slug, the score being 16 to 11 In fayor of Nashville. The Tigers took the lead in the second In­ ning, and the game was never in doubt after that. LOCAL SPLINTERS. Field day May 29. Fine straw hats at Mitchell’s. Garden seeds in bulk, at BuePs.

Fred Hire and Wesley Moore made 950 cigars at the Hire & Moore fac­ tory last Saturday, and quit work at five o'clock. A pretty good day’s work for two boys. It has been truly said that there comes a time in the life of every man when a [word said by a newspaper either makes or unmakes the individ­ ual mentioned. W. H.

The common council will pay 81.00, in case of an alarm of Are, to the first teamster gt each hose house to draw the fire apparatus to the«fire, and back again when the Are is out. This will be worth hustling for. C. L. Glasgow has issued a neat lit­ tle booklet of testimonials on the mer­ its of Crown mowers, the testimonials being from bis own customers. It is a most convincing argument and ought to sell Crown mowers without the aid of a salesman. Mrs. A. L. Rasey has opened her ice cream parlors for the season, to a fine/ run of custom, and is serving even bet­ ter cream than ever before, If that were possible, and In more varieties. She makes a specialty of layer cream, fruit ices, fruit punches and frappe, for parties and entertainments. There would be less wrong-doing and fewer heart-aches In this world if • parents knew where their children spent their evenings, and in what way. A child who is allowed to re­ ceive its training on the streets at night can hardly expect to become an ornament to society. At least very few of them do. Resolved, by the common council of the village of Nashville that that por­ tion of the water rates relating to the charge for sprinkling lawns and gar­ dens be amended to read as follows— Sprinkling lawns and gardens per sea­ son, where water Is not used for gen­ eral purposes, where used from 5:30 to 7:30, a. m. and from 6 to 8 p. m., 83.00. This is the busy season with farm­ ers, "For as ye sow, so shall ye reap,” and as most of our farmers want something to do this fall in the line of reaping, they are hard at work these days. The News, however, advises them, when in need of merchandise to lay aside their work long enough to come to Nashville and replenish with the fl rm that creates low prices, name­ ly, Truman & Banks. • Vern Martin, for several years a printer In The News office, has left Nashville, under circumstances which render his voluntary return Improb­ able. Whatever may be said, against him, the editor of The News feels that be has lost one of the most faith­ ful employes who ever worked in the ' office, and can not find it in his heart to say evil of him, now that he is under a cloud. The Vermontville base ball team came oyer Tuesday evening to play the High School Tigers. They were reinforced by several Jot the members of last year’s Greys, but the Tigers vanquished them just the samerthe score standing 14 to 4. The Tigers expected to go to Charlotte yesterday afternoon to feast on Charlotte high school meat, but the rain prevented their winning another victory. F. T. Boise appreciates the patron­ age of the people who have made hla closing out sale such a success during the past week, and Is extremely sorry 7 that his health does not permit him to continue in business among such an appreciative people. But be shows his gratitude by putting the knife still deeper into the prices.'.as will be seen by his advt. In another column, and the sale will continue with renewed vigor until everything is closed out. �AND HOUSE. AMERICANS HERDED IN TOWNS AND LEFT TO STARVE CORN AWAITS SHIPS.

The Senate Committee on Foreign Relation* put iu most of the time Thurs­ day going through report* aa to tfie statu* of affairs in Cuba turned over to it by the State Department. Tbe facts officially brought to the attention of tbe Seante committee were of a startling character. The general sense of the committee, as ex­ pressed by memlM-rs of the Senate commit­ tee. is that a very delicate situation has been uncovered by th® disclosure* of the State Department and ch.it common prtttk’nee dictate* cxkra caution in it* hand­ ling. The rejwrt of the sub-conMuittee appointed to confer with the President and Secretary Sherman wns presented to the full committee. The report consisted of a concise statement of the contents of official re{MKl» from American consuls in Cuba, bringing (he information up to .within a week of the present’time. This report confirm* the newspaper reports ** to affairs in the island, and even goes farther in depicting a deplorable situation than do moot of the newspaper- stories. Especial ■tress is laid upon the condition of American citizens iu the Island. Of these It is positively stated that there are hundreds in a starving condition and most wretchedly clothed. Death* of Americans from starvation are daily re­ ported. They are scattered in all part* of tbe island, and are shown no consid­ eration whatever because of thrir 'Ameri­ can -citizenship. They are theoretically tinder the care of tbe Spanish army, but tbejtrtny h without a commissariat. They have no means of leaving the island. Their condition is pronounced wholly dcplora -ble. The report also indicates a generally wretched condition of all the inhabitants of the island because of the scarcity of food and mone/, e#i>ecially in the centers of population, and because also of the pressure of the most malignant diseases, such as yellow fever, stnnlipox and dysen­ tery. These disease* the natives with­ stand with comparative ease, but they are' eapeclally oppressive to the Sjwnish sol­ diery. The report* indicate that the Span­ ish army is not so strong now ns it wa* n year ago. largely on account of these rav­ ages, while they indicate no diminution of the insurgent force*.

George was indietfd April 2, 1892, for embezzle­ ment, tried before Judge Smith, convicted, and ordered sent to Joliet on an indeter­ minate- sentence. After bin conviction and sentence his attorneys appealed the case, alleging in addition to the unconstitutiouality of the indeterminate law, that if any offense was committed it wns a misdemeanor and not a felony, as the de­ fendant was acting as a lawyer in col­ lecting the.money. The decision was re­ ceived in Chicago with great interest. Had the Jaw Ih»u pronounced unconstitutional^ as many feared.

Pity ’tls that with such brotherly love and friendly-long­ ing should be mixed the sordid neces­ sity of counting the cost. Money, pro­ saic. unchristian dollars, and a goodly number of them, must buy the right to SERVING TEA IN use of delegates. The eutertalnmem was called “A .Trip to California," am! tbe population turned out en masse tc see it. Booths represented the variout Iiolirts of interest along the route. Thej were most artistically gotten up, nn< curios and souvenirs were offered foi sale.

The Christian Endeavor Society.©: Masoorie, In far India, has been per haps most farsighted of all in prepare tlon for San Francisco’s convention I• Dr. F. E. Clark, prreldent of the bo ORIENTAL participate In that convention—at least in the flesh. Where there Is a will there Is a way —-for bright nnd enthusiastic young folks to raise a sum with which to tra­ verse a continent nnd back again, with Incidental Joys galore. The schemes, both individual and collective, for rais­ ing money to pay expenses to nnd from that convention would till several fat volumes. Of course Endenvorcrs are unselfish. That goes without saying. That is the reason that so many of them go to California next Jul;* It is another exemplification of tbe "united we stand, divided we fall" theory. Not every member of each of the thousands of societies can even dare to dream of attending. Every member, though, can "bear a band" nnd help to make It possible for the society to send one del­ egate, and perhaps several. The ways of raising money to send delegates are as numerous and as va­ ried as the societies themselves. Young folks are perhaps somewhat alike the world around, but certain If is that tbe plan* adopt cd In various localities have a flavor of tbe soli, nnd might furnish opportunities for tbe stndents of sociol-1 ogy to deduct some wise conclusions. In New Hampshire, for Instance, tbe method of procedure is decidedly ‘char­ acteristic. aud ruggedly simple. The plan is this: Cambridge has. or believes It has, 100.000 people, and any quan­ tity of local pride. Tbe Endeavorerx want to send as many delegates as posidble, k> tbA are selling votes. To vote for a delegate costs but 1 cent, and each one of those 160,000 inhabitants will be naked to vote as early and often as his disposition prompts or bis finan­ ces permit. 'Many young people have friends who would gladly contribute a part of their expense*, and this arrangement makes it possible to do so In a delicate and in­ offensive manner. Endeavorera of Iowa and other States of tbe great West have appar­ ently tried to outdo each other In bright Ideas for raising funds. Tbe societies of the town of Decatur have found an original and enterprising way—perhaps the cleverest yet reported. The Endeavorers gave a sort of modified church fair, which served tbe double | purpose of cresting an Interest In the convention and providing funds for the COSTUME. ciety, lias lieen visiting Oriental coun­ tries and organizing branches made up of young Christians of many one-time heathen nations. The Masoorlo people were busy with their plan, however, before Dr. Clark went to visit them. They wrote him In Boston of a marvel ous block and gavel which were being wrought for the convention. They an of native woods Inlaid with silver, nnd of rare workmanship.

Senator Forayrh made a long talk be­ fore the meeting of city superintendents of schools at lensing in favor of iris bill providing for uniform text .books. He waded into the agents of book concerns •who were present and said that their ex­ penses, which were heavy, came opt of the pockets of the people. He also criti­ cised the newspapers for their opposition to his bill. The superintendents by a unanimous standing vote adopted the fol­ lowing resolutions in opposition to his bill: “Whervab, The so-called uniform text book bill now (lending in our State Sen­ ate Is a measure of most serious impor­ tance to our schools, and believing that if enacted into law it would cause an ex­ penditure to our (icople of over $500,000. with no material benefit: that it would not bring about any of the fancied bless­ ings of State uniformity; that it would not materially cheapen text books: that it would open the way for the adoption of vastly inferior books; that it centralizes too greatly the power of the text book adoption; fhat it would stand in the way of a compulsory free text book law, whi<ri> would secure all the advantages claimed for this pill and avoid its serious and 'cal .lamitous provisions; therefore, be it “Resolved, Thnt our legislators be most courteously yet strongly urged to use ail honorable means to prevent tbe passage of either the Graham or Forsyth bill, nud save the schools of the State from the Impending disaster attendant upon their passage."

Under the cables, under the big sky-sentpers, half a hun­ dred men are now nt work, day and r’ght, dependent for air on a ten-inch pipe running to the surface far over* head, nnd, should the engibe break or the shaft cave In, the result may be Imagined. Descent Is made Into the tunnel proper on an elevator at tbe shafthouse nt the land-end of the tunnel. A gong clangs nnd a wet. slimy car shoots np from the black depths of tbe shaft. The bell clangs twice and the man at the engine throws a lever. Down, down, down goes the little car into the round shaft. For twenty feet the light from above shows it to be lined with brick, and then darkness—thick, black rock come tumbling down from the "face,” sometime* blocking the entire bore, while a great cloud of amok* drifts lazily through the tunnel toward tbe shaft where Jt can escape to the upover the miner* and other workmen cllrab over tbe rough rock and begin filling the little cars which are hauled by Holenm burro* on the tiny track to the elevator.

Up ntwve in tbe ahafthon*e where all the machinery of the plant la located an engine pump* the air into a.big com­ pressor from which It Is sent in atout pipe* to the drills. Tbe men who work these drill* are exjierts, and do their work quickly and systematically. Others, with little or no clothing on, toll desperately with sharp adze*, swinging them against the clay, loosening it bit by bit, and as each man strikes at the tough, unyielding mass before him he grunts deeply as men do who are chopping down tree*. Jost a* steadily as the adze* fall . against the Wall of clay comes the deep, rhythmical grunts from the toller*. Just behind them three more men work fill­ ing the cars with tbe chunks of clay which fall away before tbe adzes. Tbe work Is so hard and the clay so tena­ cious that the men can work at chop­ ping it but fifteen minute* nt a stretch, when they fall back and give way to the other gaug. And this Is after tbe clay has been blasted, for dynamite is used on both clay and rock in this tunnel. Four sticks of dynamite at a shot are used on the clay and three or four shots a day or made. After tbe explosion tbe men attack the loosened wall wlt|i tbe adzes and thus slowly and laboriously tunnel their way ahead about twentyfour feet a day. At nlgiit the brick­ layers come and brick up as much more of the bore ns has been made by the miners during the day. A constant current of fresh air is fed from a big fan in the shafthouse above.' The compressed air for the drills I* fed through a smaller pipe and other pipes bring water to the men and carry away, th<- water which accumulates at the bottom of the shaft. The work on tbe stone has now progressed quite far. and while the, residents overhead are peace­ fully sleeping the miners drill and blast far below them, slowly pushing their way forward.

B. J. H£COX. BICYCLES*Z3a WITHOUT ft DOUBT. Unquestionable Proof that Ef­ fect of LaGrippe is Cured by Dr. WHEELER'S N ERV E VITALIZES The number of physical wrecks resulting from the La Grippe is truly alarming. The peculiarity of the disease asserts itself after the attack, by becoming seated itrsome of the nerve centers, usually the brain. The many remedies and methods of treatment by physicians have little if any benefit. Dr. , Wheeler's Nerve Vitalixer has proven to be a specific, it cures every case. A recent in­ stance coming to our notice, is that of Joseph Lee, Entrican, Mich., who writes the fol­ lowing under date of Oct. 31st. U1 was prostrated from the effects of La Grippe; during tbe Erst six months I was treated constantly by two physicians without benefit. I then changed and was treated bv another during tbe six mouths following with same result. I continued to grow worse un­ til I could not sleep day or night; my mind was harassed by evil thoughts—I was frantic. In thb condition I commenced using Dr. Wheeler’s Nerve Vitalixer; after taking one bottle I felt much better; I took two more and wns restored to health. I heartily en­ dorse Dr. Wheeler’s Nerve Vitalixer; for all forms of uervobs disease." Signed Joseph Lee. Nerves are alike in all, you can be sored as Mr. Lee was. If yon have not fully recovered from La Grippe use this valuable medicine at once. Your case is the same as thousands of others Cured by it. It cures every case. E.

Monday, in tbe Houm*. the Hulmes lien bit! was passed, 53 to 10- Nothing rise of importance was done by either hrnu*. Got. Pingree sent to the House his veto of the cigarette bill, alleging that it was the duty of parents, nut the State, to guard their children; nlso that to fine nr imprison a child fur violation of.the Jaw would be to put upon him a disgrace worse in Ito effects than the habit of smoking cigarettes. The Governor maintained that the present law restricting sales of to­ bacco was more stringent and susceptible of enforccnswit than the pruj-osed law. Railroad legislation occupied the atten­ tion of the lower house of the State Leg­ islature Tuesday with scarcely an inter­ mission. The bill providing for the local taxation of railroad property in lieu of tqiecific taxation by the State was discuss­ ed nt length In committri* of the whole and was finally agreed to. The bill reducing *paasenger fares in the lower peninsula to 2 cents .a mile was under discussion for several Jwura in committee of the whole. Col. John Atkinson led the anti-railroad forces and many arguments were made on both sides. The bill was finally agreed to without amendment, rhe vote being 37 to 83. Gov, Pingree is strongly in fa­ vor of the bills agreed to and strongly opposed to tbe Merriam bill, which in­ creases the speri fie taxes of Michigan rail­ roads about 3200.000. If this bill ia pass­ ed the Governor soys he will veto it. Both houses of the Legislature have agreed to, adjourn May 31. The Donovan inter­ changeable mileage bill, which passed both bouses two years ago. but was vetoed by Gov. Rich, is again doomed to defeat, tbe House Railroad Committee having decid­ ed to report it adversely. Under these clrcumstafiees its author says he will not push it further. The"committee has taken similar action on the bill requiring com­ panies to sell 500-mile books for $10. but a fight will be made for this bill, notwith­ standing the report. A bill passed the lower house of the Legislature Wednesday which raises tha specific taxes on railroad earnings in Michigan from $700,000 to fully twice that amount. The rates .ire ns follows: .Ronds earning less than $2,000 per mile, per cent.; from $2,000 to $4,(k)0. 4 per cent.; from $4,000 to $0,000, cent.; over $0,000, 10" per cent. A bill for local taxation of railroads was rc-referred to a committee. If the Senate passes the spe­ cific tax bill the local taxation bill will probably not be pushed. Got. Pingree said: "These companies ought to pay <3.000.000 or $4,(M>0.000. but these are pretty hard time*, and $700,000 would go a good way. We might accept the bill and then in two rears from now make the companies pay what they ought to pay.” The House passed another bill, which repeals the special charter of the Michi­ gan Central Railroad Company and brings that road under the operations of the general railroad law, thus depriving it ot many privileges it now enjoys. In the Senate tbe Committee on State Af­ fairs favorably reported the Warner bill increasing the tax paid by express com­ panies to 3 per cent, on tbeir gross earn­ ing* in Michigan. The present rate is 1 per rent. This body hns passed tbe bill abolishing days of grace. The bill increasing railroad .taxes, which was passed by the House, wns tabled by the Senate Thursday.

UUUUUU BUSINESS DIRECTORY Spring Medicine Your blood in Spring is almost certain to be full of impurities—the accumula­ tion of the winter months. Bad ven­ tilation of sleeping rooms, impure air in dwellings, factories and shops, over­ eating, heavy, improper foods, failure of the kidneys and liver properly to do extra work thus thrust upon them, are the prime causes of this condition. It ia of the utmost importance that you Purify Your Blood Now, as when warmer weather comes and the tonic effect of cold bracing air is gone, your weak, thin, impure blood wlx. not furnish necessary strength. That tired feeling, lossof apjatlte, will open the way for serious disease, ruined health, or breaking out of humors and impurities.

Tuesday noon, as they were on their way home from town.tbeir team became a little uneasy while near the railroad track in front of Townsend & Brooks elevator. Mr. Pa'rrott noticed a train backing toward the crossing, but evidently could not ho,Id tbe team, which by this time.was near the track, add seeing that he could not turn them around, hurried them on, when Just as tbe horses cleared the track a box car struck the wagon, tear­ ing it loose from the team and throw­ ing the occupants out. Mr. Parrot clung to the lines and Mrs. Parrot to her husband find they were drawn off the track scarcely a yard from the moving train. The wagon was car­ ried down the track and finally dump­ ed off. very badly demolished, the only part about It not broken being the pole. Mr. Parrot was not hurt in the least, while Mrs. Parrot sustained only a few slight Injuries. The team was soon stopped and no other damage was done exceot to the wagon. MEHORIAL- DAY.

And now that Gregorio was no longer present to amnse. and take all trouble off bis hanus, Mr. Egremont could hardly have borne to part with his dirughter; and, despite of umbrellas and relig­ ion. was not sorry to have a perfectly trustworthy son-in-law in the house, able to play at cards with him. manage his household, nnd obviate all trouble about suitors for thq helrem*. Moreover, hia better feelings were stirred by gratitude on his poor little son's account, nnd be knew very well that a more brilliant match for his daughter would, not have secured for his old age the care and at­ tention ho could rely upon here. He was obliged likewise to belieye in the disin­ terestedness. which disclaimed all desire for the estate, aa involving cares and du­ ties for which there had been no training; nnd bo was actually glad to keep the prop­ erty in the direct line. The old liking for Mark, and sense of the hardship of his exclusion, revived, strengthened now by regard for Annaple; together with the present relief from care obtained by mak­ ing him manager of the estate.

A case of considerable Interest to sa­ loonkeepers baa just been decided iu the Circuit Court at Adrian. Last winter a boy of 1G, named Schneider, purchased fifteen cents' worth of whisky at Ty­ nan’s saloon, saying he had been sent for it by the family, and that the liquor was needed for a sick brother. The fact of the brother’s sickness was known to the bartender, and the liquor was given him in n flask. He proceeded to get outside of tbe whisky in a little while, and in his drunken hurrah committed an assault on a little boy by throwing a stone which Inflicted considerable itfjnry. For this he was arrested and fined $10. The moth­ er brought suit, and Judge Lane- charged that no matter what were the circum­ stances, the sale to the minor incurred a liability for which they must girc the plaintiff $50 damage, and they were em­ powered to give such additional sum as they found was warranted to make good any damage done and for the injury to her feelings, etc. The jury, after six hours’ deliberation, gave a verdict of $»>7.5O and costa. Il seems that under the charge of the court that n wife or relation may bring suit in any cnse of drunkenness ■gainst the saloonkeeper and his bonds­ men, provided the drunken man commits any crime, or does any act that results in loss to the wife or relative depending up­ on him for support.

A Lansing dispatch says: The prospects for the State Fair Society holding a fair at Grand Rapids or anywhere else next fall are decidedly gloomy. The Lansing creditors refused to settle for nine cents on the dollar and asked for fifteen cents, 9 poF cent payable at this time and <i per cent after the close of the fair next fall. This offer the State fair officers did not feel warranted in accepting, and the negotiation* arc therefore at a standstill. If no settlement Is made with the Lanning creditors, whose claims aggregate about $18,000, no fair will be held and the death knell of the society will probably be sounded. A vicious mw came near killing n Gyear-old son of ex-County Treasurer W. H. Wiggins nt his form home near Adrian Monday afternoon. The boy was around the barn playing when a timber gave way. letting him to the ground near where the low was rooting.

Whatever agreement may be reached by the two houses of the Legislature with reference to the increase in the specific taxes paid by railroad companies, the bill to be passed will not affect the aggregate of taxes which wjll be due July 1.

The lung and exciting debate on the joint resolution recognizing the existence of a atlite of n ar iu Cuba nnd declaring that strict neutrality shall lie maintained by the United State* paused the Kenate by a decisive rote of 41 to 14 at a late hour Thursday afternoon. The announcewent of the role was received with tumultnou* applnuw. The resolution as Mticd 1>»8 follow*: ’ “im solved. ~ett.. That a condition of public war exists between the Governwent of Spain and the'government pro­ claimed and fur some time maintained by force of anus' by the people of Cuba, and that the United States of America shall maintain a strict neutrality between the Sputrrjlng parties, according to each all the rights, if belligerents in the ports aud territory of the United States.” Given Out in Facret. Sensational developments marked the Cuban debate in the Senate Wednesday. It was diselusvd that President McKiuh-y and Secretary jif State Sherman had given to the Committee ba Foreign Re­ lation* certain information furniahed by our consul* iu Cuba, aud requested that the name* of the consuls be kept secret, because of fear that they would meet with violence, iu ca»e their identity be­ came known to the Spaniard*. Several Beriktors complained because confidential information had been given the Foreign Relations Committee, white It was withheld from the Senate as a whole. Then Senator Foraker aubmltted to the Senate copies of correspondence be­ tween Secfttary Olney aud the Spanish minister of foreign atfairs a year In which this Government proposed to Spain the use of our good offices in bringing about peace in .Cubs, with continued Spanish sovereignty, a proffer which Spain rejected, with tbe plea that ’•there Is no effectual way to pacify the Cubans except upon tbe condition that they first submit to the mother country.” The pressure of the Cuban question, say* a Washington"correspondent, is be­ coming j*o groat in various direction* that it is difficult to sw bow some action on tbe part of this Government can.be much longer delayed. Growth of the feeling iu favor of direct intervention, without wasting more time in useless resolutions of recognition, waa indicated by two powerful pleas in favor of interference by this Government for the purpose of putting an end to the war. These speeches were made by Senators Lindsay of Kentucky and Foraker of Ohio, and both were strong and impres­ sive. Tim* the Cuban question Is gradually assuming nn acute form at tbe capital. There is not much difference of opinion a* to the proposition that the United State* ha* a duty to perform in Cuba, and that in all probability the only solution of the problem is intervention on terms which will save Spanish pride and give Cuba a free government under the protection of th'.* Government and without war be­ tween Spain and our country. The real difference is between those who wish to go at thi* delicate tusk in an orderly, cau­ tious. reasonable way. doing everything |M>ssible to avert war, while still pressing on to the main point In view, and those who wonld rush into war nt the drop of a hat or the firing of a pistol. There 1* some surprise that the adminis­ tration should have given tbe official copies of the correspondence which took place between this Government nnd tbe Government of Spain a year ago concern­ ing mediation or the use of our good qP flees. That the administration had a pur|»ose in permitting this correspondence to become public just now is generally ac­ cepted. nnd the purjiu*e was, in the opin­ ion of most Senators, to show the world that this Government had already at­ tempted the mild form of settlement call­ ed good offices, or mediation, but to no purpose on account of the unwillingness of Spain to accept our kindly intentions. The inference is that the administration wishes it known the next step in the mat­ ter which the United States may take with a proper regard to its own dignity is direct intervention. Annexation or a protectoracy might nat­ urally follow intervention, for if Spain and her colony Im? separated order nnd peace must be secured in some manner. But a desire to meet the responsibilities of the'United States In a strong and un­ selfish wky/to suppreas a useless and ap­ parently interminable war and avert hu­ man suffering, is the impelling motive. The agitation Indicate* that a great deal of history iy'to be written during the com­ ing six moii tlis. Analysis of tbe Vote. An analysis of the vote shows that the affirmative was cast by eighteen Repub­ licans, nineteen Democrats and four Poptffiota, and the negative by twelve Repub­ licans and two Democrats. Prior to tbe final vote the motion of Senator Hale to-refer the resolution to the Committee on Foreign Relations was tabled—yea*. 34; nays. 10. Mr. • Fair­ banks of Indiana proposed a substitute providing that- the President extend the good offices of the United States to Spain toward securing an end to the conflict and tin- ultimate independence of the island. This, too, was* tabled—yeas, 35; nays, 15. Then followed the adoption of the original resolution. Tbe voting occurred after an exciting debate participated in by Senators Thurs­ ton of Nebraska. Elkins of West Virginia. White of California, Fairbanks of In­ diana. Hale of Maine. Spooner of Wiscon­ sin and Gorman of Maryland. Mr. Thnrston spoke of the bloody contest which had raged during the last two years. There was ample information as to its extent, front, American correspond­ ents who had written their dispatches on the field of battle, from the reports which filled the records of the Senate and in the archives of the State Department. Every man in the United States ought to be ready for action on this question at this time, and if any Senator was not suffi­ ciently informed Mr. Thurston commend­ ed him to the consideration of his con­ stituents. । >e RIOT IN A LEGISLATURE.

The trouble started immediately after Speaker Curtis called the House to order at 3.0’dock nnd lasted fur an hour and a quarter. So great was the disturbance that it waa heard plainly nJ the Leland Hotel, rix block* away. During the tur­ moil bill files were smashed by pounding the desks, waste baskets were hurled in­ discriminately across the hall, members shouted themselves hoarse, aud a free-forall fight Was prevented only by the action of cool-headed Democratic member*. The excitement was at fever heat dur­ ing all the session. but reached a culmi­ nation point when Mr. Novak, who had been shouting for recognition for an hour, left bis seat and proceeded up the aisle to the Speaker's desk. The Republicans, thinking it was his purpose to drag Speak­ er Curtis from hi* chair, made a rush to defend the Speaker. Mr. Novak reached the Speaker'• platform, and, in the midst of a war of word* with tbe presiding offi­ cer. he was seized by the coat collar by Mr. Needles and dragged from the plat­ oon. This was the signal for a rash fmm the Democratic side to defend Mr. Novak, and in tbe scramble that ensued there waa a g. neral “mix-up.” Mr. Galligan attempted to use a wooden mallet which he had procured. Galligan, with mallet in hand, made a leap for the Speaker.- He was angry at being Inter­ cepted, nnd tried to use hi* mallet on the head* of those about him, but was pre­ vented. He v a* dragged down, with a half-dosen mrmben on top of him tn the aials. it was here that the cool-headed was great when he swore by the beard of thf* prophet that he had but one.

A New Yorker who in the course of USE OF SLANG. a long and varied career bus patronized ail sorts and conditions of restaurants has discovered thnt the1 cheaper and poorer the restaurant the more likely are the waiters to be bc-ra Americans. At the more expensive restaurants, says the New York Sun, the waiters are, as a rule, French, and always foreign. Eng­ lish, Irish and German waiters are usually found In les* expensive place*, and one is not sure to find an American until he reache* restaurants of the cheapest sort. The New Yorker who has made thi* discovery account* for it on tbe ground that less servility is expectr-’’ at the cheap places than at the more expen­ sive restaurants.

Between * Bull and * Bhinoeero*. 1* Which the Bull Conquer*. When I was on the Zulu frontier, said a traveler recently, according to the St. Louis Poat-Dispatcb, I stopped for a week with a native, a splendid fel­ low, who had a fine farm. Among other animals he hud a young bull called Hulo, which he and his children, fondly believed. could vanquish any beast on earth. Hulo was a great pct, and not in the least vicious, so 1 was surprised on the second evening of my stay tovsee Hulo sniffing the air and pawing the ground in evident rage. I, was about to ask what it meant, when out of the forest came an ugly rhiMy host and I hurried for our guns and Hulo dashed at tbe beast with dauntless courage. A rush, a crash, nnd the bull was hurled 20 feet. Fortunate­ ly the horn of bis enemy had not caught him, and tbe first rush had taught him a lesson. His born* were like sharp swords, but tbe bide of the rhinoceros Is remarkably thick and the young bull soon showed signs of fatigue. So he resorted to strategy, and dodged be­ hind his clumsy foe, giving him vicious stabs in tbe thighs. This was rapid­ ly weakening the rhinoceros, nnd just at this time we found some steel bul­ lets, leaden bullets having no effect or^this animal, and quickly completed the work Hulo began. Then the bull stood on the carcass and bellowed his Joy. The Buffalo Commercial quotes the following from n boy’* letter to hi* mother: "I am glad I have n new sis­ ter but wish she had been a boy.

The present regime has determined to establish offices twhererer any reasonable amount of business can Ju- secured, with the idea of accommodating n« many peo­ ple as possible. While some attention is being paid to the rule that offices gen­ erally should not be doser together thnn three miles, this Is not a fixed limit, and many exceptions have been made. Ths scheme Is to provide mail facilities wher­ ever there ia a sufficient number of peo­ ple or amount of business that would make it pay. such questions as location near n star or other routs, however, of course, figuring in the matter. The mines on tho upper level of the old Scotch Hill, near Newburg. W. Ya., are on fire and threaten the existence of the town, which i« built over the mines. The fire was started years ago by malicious persons and has recently grown so large that the residents have become alarmed. Concern tbe People. The Senate Monday passed a measnrs appropriating $50,000 for th* relief of American citizens ia Cabs. In accordance with the suggestion contained in a me*sage front President McKinley. Sev­ eral amabm of tbe House insisted upon amending to incorporate a recognition of Cuban belligerency, and tbo matter was hung up temporarily. The House returned,consideration of the Indian appro­ priation bill. The Senate was\ occupied Tuesday chiefly by the Cuban question. Mr. Ma­ son spoke in favor of tbe Morgan reso­ lution. and Messrs. Hoar and Hale op­ posed. The debate was bitter. Among the bills passed by the Senate were tbo<e authorizing tbe construction of bridge* across the Mlsaonri River between its mouth and the mouth of the Dakota or James River, and across the Illinois and Do* Plaine* River* between the mouth of the Illinois and Joliet, III., and to pre­ scribe the character, location and dimen­ sions of the same; also for a bridge across the Red Rirer of the North at Drayton, N. D. Tbe conference report on the In­ dian appropriation bill was presented and agreed to. Tbe House did nothing of im­ portance. Another stirring debate on Cuba oc­ curred in the Senate Wednesday. The main speeches of*the day were'made by Senators Foraker. Cannon, Lindsay and Hoar. Mr. Foraker spoke In favor of. a reference of the resolution to the commit­ tee. bnt on the .general question declared hi* purpose of supporting tho resolution recognizing Cuban belligerency when it should be reported by tbe committee. Mr. Cannon was bitter in his denunciation of Spanish atrocity. Mr. Lindsay declared if tbe information furnished by United States consuls was so shocking as to sub­ ject theta to danger of assassination If their iianies were disclosed it was time to send warships to Cuba and to terminate all diplomatic relations with that coun­ try. It was developed in tbe course of a colloquy between Senators Foraker, Mor­ gan and Vest that the State Department had withheld the names of United States consuls reporting on the serious condition of affairs in Cuba because it might lead to their murder. No action on the resolu­ tion .was taken. Tbe Senate Thursday passed the Mor­ gan-Cuba n-l*elligervncy resolutions, by a vote of 41 to 14. after a most exciting de­ bate in which Messrs. Mason. Morgan, Gnllinger, Hall, Fairbanks nnd Hoar par­ ticipated. Ln the House the resolution appropriating $30,000 for relief of desti­ tute American citizens in Cuba passed without a dissenting vote. An attempt to incorporate the Morgan resolution failed, but the debate was sharp and ex­ citing. Both house* adjourned until Monday. Fred Lawson. 5 years old. the son .of a resident of Edgewater Park, IU.. was crossing the Northern Pacific railroad bridge nt that point the other day when the sharp whistle of an express train caus­ ed him to stop abort in alarm.

Action here wo* more thor­ ough. Tbe most damaging evidence is in two rings which were identified as tbe prop­ erty of Mr*. Lnetgert. One of these was the wedding ring, the other a plain guard ring of gold. The finding of the charred bones waa good evidence, but not strong enough to warrant an arrest. Afterward, however, tbe vat was examined nnd then came the climax. Close to the bottom of the rat is a draining bole, aud after the Iwdy had been removed the murderer evidfptly turned the hose in and over­ flowed the receptacle, withdrawing the plug from the hole near the bottom, thinking that the contents would go to the sewer. The mixture thus diluted with water ran off, but enough remained in the bottom of the vat to betray ita character. Upon examination the sediment and the rings were found. WHAT CUBA'S WAR HAS COST.

His Trouble the Result ot Exposure During the Late War—He Gives the Particulars of the Commencement and Rapid Spread ' of the Disease—“The Awful Coldness.” JfYom the American, Xenark. Ohio. There waa a acene in tho House Tues­ day evening when nn attempt was made to instruct the conference committees of the two houses to make a final report on thr Merriam bill Increasing railroad taxa­ tion within twenty-four bsurs. This wa* defeated on the ground thjt it was a reflect for. on the committees. The same fate befell n resolution to instruct the Hoine committee tn adhere to tbe amendments made by the House, which provided a far greater increase than was made by the Senate. The House passed the Widoe bill providing for tho sale of QOO-mile books at 2 cents per mile, and the Donovan interchangeable milrage book bill. Tho House also passed an insolvency bill, which renders invalid the preferring of creditors, a bill reducing from 8 to 7 per cent, thr rate of interest that may be contracted; and the bill pro­ viding tjmt where the violation of a con­ dition of a fire insurance- policy does not prejudice the <-ompany it shall not work a forfeiture of the policy. A strong anriUqnor. M-ntiment manifested itself in the Houm-. that body defeating the bill elim­ inating New Year’s Day. Labor Day aud Fourth of July from thr holidays on which smIooub arc required to be kept closed. The commercial -fishermen won a decisive victory over the State Fish Commission In the Senate, securing-tho adoption of amendments to the fish bill so as to increase tbe hire of the mesh of nets. The Boll Telephone Company won a victory Wednesday, when the House de­ feated the maximum rate bill, which pro­ vided that where rates were reduced ’to shut out competition the lowest rate should govern in nl^gitics of like popula­ tion. Several railroad bills passed the House, including those repealing the spe­ cial Michigan Central charter and the one requiring companies to sell inter­ changeable mileage. Al! railfond legis­ lation is at a standstill in tbe Senate be­ cause of the uncertainty surrounding tbe specific railroad tax. That body refused by a decisive vote to take from the table the bill making the maximum passenger rate nr. Upper Peninsula roads 3 cents. The House, however, proceeds to kill rail­ road bills ax fast as they appear. The latest to be slaughtered wax the Dudley bill, permitting steam and electric roads to lease each other's franchise, etc. The bill providing that twelve days shall in­ tervene between race meetings was de­ feated tn tbe House. This body slashed $40,000 from the appropriation for the Michigan college of mines at Houghton. This action foreshadows the fate that awaits all appropilation bills. .The Senate, in courtnittee of the whole Thursday, agreed to an appropriation of $.3.“tai for improvements nt the Marquette branch of tbe State prisms and $134J*N) for the State Normal School,* Senator Blak*a|ee*s bill fnr n fire marshal in each of the counties of the State, the WeierWiHrams measure for the payment of mu­ nicipal taxes in cities of the fourth cIbm In July instead of December when the common councils of such cities so elect, and thr bill of F.

Thr bill ia not to affect tbe salary of the present judge of probate. The House also panted, with scarcely any discussion, the Moore bill to do away with the system of writing out bills passed by the legislature. Thr appropriation bills agreed to by the Sen­ ate in committee of the whole during the aftrrooon were passed on the order of third reading al thr evening session. At every session bf the Legislature since 1879 a lull to provide for a uniform sys­ tem of text books has been introduced, bnt the book publisher* have always been able to defeat It until Friday, when the Senate passed a bill, which the House pa»re«! a fortnight ago. The bill ia not all the friends of the system desired, as it exempts all districts adopting the free text book system prior to Jan. .1, 1890, and also permits districts to vote them­ selves from under its provisions if they see fit to do so. Tbe House will s<»on consider tbe conference comralftrc's report on the railroad tax question, which baa been adopted by the Senate. A bill agreed to by the House in committee of the whole provides a tax of 1 cent per gallon on all beer sold in the State, and both houses have passed a hill prohibiting thr employ­ ment of barmaids.

In this letter mailed tbe farmers they say "we were the flpst to reduce prices, and tbe farmers know 1L.” I leave It to tbe farmers'to make note of the great reduction, and when it occurred, Compare the price of a jointer or jointer mouldboard, wheels, etc. in 1887 and 1897, see if you can find the reduction. 1 simply refer to these parts as examples. Another clause $ays ‘*all of our well dlsnosed agents must willingly joined with us in our efforts to protect the farmers who are such liberal users of our plows." This is tbe kind of protection the fox offered tbe chickens, he offered to eat her up so tbe other animal could not get her; they call It protection to place a farmer where he can buy only their make of repairs and at tbelr price; destroying competition is not liable to reduce prices. They further state “we have not now and never have bad an agreement with any other plow Co. or corporation and Co.” This may be true and If so.

That tired Feel- Last Saturday was High School field day, for the Barry and Eaton Athletic Associotlon. The day was a beauty and a large crowd turned out to see the athletes of the Vermontville, Hastings and Nashville high schools struggle for the supremacy, and for an elegant trophy cup, indicative of their prowess. The forenoon program comprised a ball game between Hastings and Nashville and a number of other events, but they were so late in get­ ting started J.hat none of the other events were pulled off and the ball game itself was cut down to seven in­ nings. There was a kick right on the start because Hastings put in players who were not eligible, but Hastings insisted on playing them and the Nashville management very foolishly conseuted.althougb Blastings admited that Bessmer, their first baseman, bad been In school but three days.

A bountiful dinner- was served, to which all did ample justice, after which they all repaired to the sitting room, where they engaged In pleasant conversation for the remainder of the day. . They were the recloients of many useful and beautiful presents, which were left as tokens of the love and es­ teem they were held in by the party. Mr. and Mrs. Chipman are both very spry for such old people, and both made the remark that they felt as young as they did on the day of tbdir marriage. The Michigan millers arc making a decided move against rye in wheat. Within a few days Townsend & Brooks and J. B. Marshall have received notice like the following, from French &-Son at Middleville and the Voight Milling Co. of Grand Rapids, and it will nay our farmers to read It care­ fully: “During the past two or three years there has been considerable trouble In this state caused by rye getting mixed with the wheat. A large quantity of wheat that would otherwise be of the finest quality, is utterly ruined for milling purposes by the rye that Is mixed through the grain, and many a dollar Is lost to farmers that might easily and readily be saved by the ex­ ercise of a little care during the next thirty days to pull the clusters of rye out of the wheat fields. Michigan millers require the best grade of per­ fectly clean wtteat in order to produce Hour of as fine quality as they have for the past ten years or more. Michigan first- grade Hours are justly celebrated in the -most discriminating markets both at home and in foreign coun­ tries. This reputation cannot be maintained except by the use of first •'lass grain. Wheat mixed with rve brings only a low price In any market. Farmers can not spend a little time to better advantage than to go through the wheat fields and pull the rye out NUMBER 40 fallen heroes, who, in days gone by defended their flag so bravely, Is not waning and is being cherished with more reference year by year.

Kites in the Weather .iServIce. The moyt significant development in wea’thtr forecasting foe year*, making it puMible to forecast for a period of nt least sixteen hours longer than at present and more aecuratriy, has been attained by the weather bureau, and soon will bear prac­ tical fruit. This is the result of experi­ ments with kite* flown at dlstaocM of one to two mile* above the surface of the earth, which hnve been quietly conducted lu Washington for some weeks. Daily reading* have been taken at this altitude, .and the fact has been established that shifting of the wind occur* n mile above the earth’s surface from twelve to sixteen hours before tbe same change of direction occur* on the surface. This is due to the same force* which operate to cause wind shift* to produce a storm, one condition being dependent on the other. Secretary of Agriculture Wilson ha* taken great in­ terest in the experiments, which were made by Chief Moore of the weather burean. and his consultations with Prof. Moore have resulted in the formulation of n policy which will make weather pre­ dictions more valuable in the future. The most imperfect part of weather forecast* now is the prediction to rain or snow.

Hepresentatlre McMillin Monday introduevd in ihe Honse a resolution pro­ viding for the consideration of a Senate resolution recognizing th®'belligerency of the Cuban insurgent* “from day to day until disposed of.” The resolution was referred to the Committee on Rule*. The resolution appropriating $30,000 for the relief of dburessed Am«?rican citizen* in Cuba reached the White HottM at 12:20 o’clock. jn*t as soon as ij could be sent up after being signed by both houses, while they were in open session. The President signed the resolution ’ imme­ diately. The conferees on the sundry civil appropriation bill hare agreed. The most Important amendment to the bill was that revoking the order of President Cleveland of Feb 22. 1897, setting apart 21,000,000 acres of land* a* forest res­ ervation*. The appropriation for Pearl harbor. Hawaii, i* reduced to $10,900. Tbe Senate amendment for improving Salmon bay. Washington. I* stricken out. The appropriation tor a Government ex­ hibit at, the Omaha exposition is left at $200,000. the $75,000 increase of the Senate being stricken out. The amend­ ment for inrreiigntion of sugar produc­ tion remain* in the bill. The appropria­ tion for tbe improvement of the lower Mississippi River is increased to $2,933.­ 333. The net reduction from the Sen­ ate amendments is $500,000. The Mobile bay *improvement Is made $25,000. in­ stead of $40,000 inserted by the Senate. Tl>o total of the bill as agreed to is $33,­ 622.651. The debate on the tariff bill began in the Senate Tuesday with crowde»l gal­ leries .and a large attendance of Sena­ tor* and the tariff lender* of the House. Mr. Aldrich. Mr. Vest and Mr. Cannon were the speaker*. Early in the day Mr. Mallory, the new Senator from Florida, was sworn In and took hi* seat. Senator Cullom introduce*! by request a bill to amend the interstate commerce law. The bill prescribe* relation* for’ pooling, re­ quiring that pooling contract* shall not extend beyond five years and that they shall name the maximum aud minimum rates to be charged, requiring the approv­ al of die interstate commerce commission before the agreements can become ef­ fective. The bill provides for a com­ plete revision of the interstate commerce law. The House was not in session. The Senate Wednesday resumed conslderatiun^f the tariff. Mr. Ve*t; oppo­ sition leader, moved a reduction in the duties upon boracir acid, and was de­ feated, 34 to 20. The debate was par­ ticipated in by Senators Vest. Jones of Arkansas, Aldrieh. Perkin*. White. Caffery. Gray, and Stewart. Mr. White, a Democratic member of the Finance Committee, opposed Mr. Vest’s amend­ ment, urging that the California industry required the rate allowed by the com­ mittee. Seven paragraphs of the bill were considered during the day, the com­ mittee being sustained in each instance. The resolutiAn was agreed to authorizing the Secretory of the Navy to employ any suitable ship in forwarding relief supplies to India. The House was not in ses­ sion. The Cuban resolution was brought>before the House Thursday. A motion to refer to committee, none of which are yet appointed, was declared by Speaker Reed to be out of order. Mr. Lewis ap­ pealed from the ruling, and the appeal wa» tabled—91 to 57. Adjourned. The Senate mails good progress on the tariff bill, disposing of ten pages. Several votes were takefi. the Finance Committee Iming spstained in each case by majorities varyiifg from six to fifteen. The drug schedule wn* under discussion and the debate wn* largely technical. Before tak­ ing up the tariff the final conference re­ port on the sundry civil bill was agreed to. including the provirion Mwpcnding yntil March 1 next the executive order cre­ ating extensive fot+»t reserve*. After a long |>criod of silence Senator Tillman of South Carolina startled the Sennte Friday by a speech no Ie«* dra­ matic in it* delivery' than "eivntionnl in its allegations. He declared the publie statement* that Senators were speculat­ ing in sugar stock*, pending the settle­ ment of the augur tariff achedule, were getting to be so persistent and forceful thnt it was a national scandal. He pre­ ceded hi* speech by presenting n resolu­ tion for the np|»ointnient of .. special committee of five Senators to investigate the charge*. The Senate then took ep the tariff bill." The House did nothing. The Senate Committee on Public - Building* and Ground* agreed to report favorably the bill* for public building* at Baltimore, Md.. to eost $1,590,000; Durham, N.

The officers of the Michigan State Ag­ ricultural Society emerged from a secret inerting in Lansing Thursday with a dis­ couraged appearance and announced that no fair will be held this year under the auspice* of the society. Beyond that they had nothing to say, but there is reason to believe that no fair will perhaps ever be held by the society.

Thqre is no money in them any more aud the State Fair Society has found this out, after go­ ing into debt deeper and deeper every year. It now has $20,000 in debts, with nothing hut u glorious reputation to dividc_jjmong tbe creditors. The society ■claims tu have remaining an equity in the valuable fair grounds in Lansing, which is a perfect park, but it has been discovcred that such equity is not marketable, «s the Central Michigan Society, to whom the grounds originally belonged, claims to possess the grounds by virtue of a reveraionsry clause in its contract with the Stale society and has commenced proceed­ ings in the courts to regain control of the grounds. The creditors who were offered nine rents on the dollar for their claims against the State society are now kicking themselves for not accepting the offer, as they will probably now get nothing. Boom for Midland. H. H. Dow has succeedvd in making ar­ rangements for locating a chemical plant at Midland for the manufacture of chlo­ ride of lime. Mr. Dow has Ix-en working <»n the project for some time, and has suc­ ceeded iu interesting Cleveland capitalists, and the Dow Chemical Co. has been or­ ganized and incorporated with a capital of $2tM».«K). all paid in, with H. 11. Dow .president. This plant will need a large tract of land, as the buildings alone will occupy thirteen acres. They will employ about 1O0 men. Chloride of lime has not been manufactured commercially in this country heretofore, and has all been imjmrtrd from England aud Germany. Mid­ land feels elated over the location of the plant, as it means work for many who need it. and whose occupation went with the passing of the pine log. Counterfeit Dollars. -A flftecn-yeur-old boy. named William Rickie, whose home is in West Bay City, was arrested nt LaPeari’s circus grounds fur having four counterfeit silver dollars in his iHiswftfiion. He gave one of the bad lucres to a boy to pass on the ticket seller •and this led to his detection. Rickie says that a man in Banks made the counter­ feits nnd told him to pass them.

The parties are Catholics and the complainant did not ask for a divorce on account of religious serttplcs. An absolute divorce was granted, however, which the Supreme Court has decided .must stand, although Judge' Moore, in a dissenting opinion, demurs to the principle of giving the aggricosl per­ son a form of relief which is not asked. The Supreme Court Tuesday sustained the constitutionality of act No. 182, of the public acts of 1805. which provides that when business is accumulated in any of the Circuit Courts of the State beyond the capacity of tbe judge of such circuif to properly dispose of it, the Governor may designate a judge of some other circuit to hold court temporarily. The court says that the law is fully authorized by sec­ tion 11 of article 6 of the constitution, which provides that the judges of circuit courts may hold court for each other when required by law.

This conven­ tion is one of the must imjiortaut religious convocations in the country: It represents nearly 8,000 congregatione. comprising al­ most l.OOO.WK) church members. Threo are scattered in every State in the Union. So great a church must needs exercise a powerful influence for good.

CUMBERLAND PRESBYTERIANS. The Sixty-seventh General Assembly Meets in Chicago. The sixty-seventh general assembly of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church met in Chicago with about 25o delegates pres­ ent. representing twenty-tire States and territories, most of them, however, com­ ing from the South. It is the first time in the history of this denomination that It has come as far north a* Chicago, to hold its annual assembly. Retiring Modera tor Rev. A. W. Hawkins of Decatur, Ill., called rhe assembly to order in First Cumberland Presbyterian Church al Stewart avenue nnd Sixty-fourth court. One of the features of the assembly was rhe dedication of the church in which the meetings were held and which was recent­ ly completed. REV. DR. JACKSON, MODKUATOR. ajice of fi<)7 over nil expenses. When entirely rented there will be a net income of $43,000, or 5 per cent on investment of boards op building. The cost of build­ ing was $1,760,000. The annual report of tbe board of min­ isterial relief shows receipts of the last year to be $61,000, with expenditure* of $182,000. While tbe permanent fund now amounts to over $1,560,000, it is.consid­ ered too small owing to the increase in the number of applicants. Collections from churches and Sunday schools are gradu­ ally falling off, being decreased nearly $25,000 a year since 1888. showing all the worse when it Is considered that the church is one-fourth larger and the col­ lections one-quarter lees than nine year* ago. The average gifts of communicants have fallen from 13 cents to abont 7% cents each in that time. What makes the showing Hill worse Is the fact that in 1888 but 564 families were under the care of the board and last year it had 835. The entire cash receipt* from all sources. Including interest, is $197,005, less than 4 per cent of the sum being used for ex­ penses. Tbe iKmrd is compelled to report an indebtedness of $30,000 due to the per­ manent funds. After reviewing the work of tbe year the committee recommended approval of a change of rule by which legacies will be expended for current work instead of being inverted in the permanent funds. Efforts were recommended to increase contribution* to this fund. Hie av4ection of Dr. Benjamin L. Agnew of Philadel­ phia as secretary of the board was ap­ proved. Sparks from the Wires.

Tbe fight over the Merriman bill which was expected in the House Tuesday gave way to what ended in a most harmonious session. The Governor had put his min­ imum at an Increase of $1,000,000. A .careful canvass of the situation, how­ ever, revealed thnt nothing better than the increase of $205,000 provided by the conference cuunnlttee’s report could be hoped for from this Legislature, so it was decided to accept that amount and renew the attack on tbe railroads before the next Legislature. This advice was given by Col. Atkinson, the chief’ Pin­ gree lieutenant, early in the afternoon’s session. It wa* readily accepted by all of the Governor’s adherents nnd the con­ ference report wa* adopted with a rush. Under it the revenue of tic State from this source next y?ar will be $045,000, as compared with $740,000 this j*ar. The Senate Committee on State Affairs has made a favorable report on a bill restoring capital punishment, and both houses have passed the Perry bill, which makes a sweping reduction in the number of State reports and other documents to be published annually. Gov. Pingree sent a special message to the Legislature Wednesday afternoon rec­ ommending thnt the aessiod be extended nt least a fortnight, saying the additional expense would be insignificant compared with the advantage of having pending bills properly considered. The measures mentioned by the Governor, with the ex­ ception of the appropriation bills*, were hung up in committees. .They require corjwjrations paying a specific tax to adopt a uniform system of bookkecjiing. to be presented by rhe State, require railroad com jinnies to sell interchangeable mileage, ami 50W-mi!«- book* for $10, nnd include anti-trust bills arid bills to tax telephone aud expreaa companies and to prohibit dibcriminatiun in freight rate*. The House .ndojrted tbe Governor’s suggestion and also adopted a concurrent resolution rescinding its former action and extend­ ing the session to June 14., l*he Senate, however, rejected this resolution by u vote*of three to one. The Senate defeat­ ed the bill cutting passenger fares on the Upper Peninsula roads.to 3 cents and the hanging bill and passed a bill limiting the bonds issued by gas companies to IK) per cent of their capital. A bill prohibiting the exhibition of prize fights, etc., was passed by the House. Debtors.—We ore coming to see that humanity Is o*tr creditor; that we nr© debtors to all men.—Rev. L; A. Cran­ dall.

The following is an' interesting story concerning the hot springs nt Kawenzori, in the Uganda, as related by Bishop Tucker: “As the sun went down, expecting the cold, we had a fire lighted outside our tent, but to our astonishment the heat became so great that we had to remove the fire, and, sure enough, as time went on, it seemed to get worse and worse. It wa* impossible to sleep—in fact, it was worse than worst night on the Bed sen, nnd the same distressing kind of heat. Unable to sleep, we lay per-, spiring os if we were in a Turkish bath. Next morning we spent in inspecting the wonderful hot springs which lay about one hour^awny to tho left. The boiling water'was bubbling up all over a space of about 100 yards. Down the center is a channel In which the hot water collects and runs away, forming a good-sized stream ns it gets free of the springs. “We found a number of people bath­ ing at the time, as they believe the water Is a sure cure for almost every disease. We placed n few potatoes in one of the largest springs and had the pleasure of eating them, beautifully boiled, in about ten minutes. I am told that the natives living round here boil their potntoe« here every day, and are thus saved firewood and water. The bathers have their bath by diverting one of the hot streams in a large hole dug in the ground. HOGGISH FISH. auce people. Tte CXartaL?XMx.not. I «- ».■«< M «UM B* 1» camp >«• U.

For Individual cooking and eating on the field, necessitated by emergencies, the government furnishes each soldier with one mejit can and plate combined, one three-pint canteen, one tin cap, one knife, fork and spoon. With all its hardships, camp cooking with the most primitive implements is not so fntol to good food a* might be supposed.

B. J. HECOX. TRIED THEM ALL. So Carps Are Said to Be. Because They WU1 Eat Anythin*. “The carp is a very hoggish fish," re­ marked a prominent naturalist at the Cuvier club to a Cincinnati Enquirer re­ porter the other day. “It will cut any­ thing digestible, from a water-soaked log Xp a growing lily," continued he. “Its natural food consists of worms, maggots, larvae, snails, beetles and other insects, but when these cannot be readily obtained it will feed on any kind of plant that grows in or near water. But a few years ago carp ate up all the wild rice on Portage river, thereby driving away all the wild ducks that were in tbe habit of coming there. to feed. "The German carp was first intro­ duced in to America in 1877 by the United States fish commissioner. These fish were placed in ponds, especially pre­ pared for them at Washington and Bal­ timore. In 1880 the distribution of fry began, and up to January 1 of the sub­ sequent year the carp had bceq planted in no less than 17,860 localities. They prove to be especially adapted to Amer­ ican waters, and in some localities they grow with surprising rapidity. A fish four inches long placed in the waters of Texas was found to have increased to 20% inches in 11 months, attaining a weight of five pounds." Gl*d They Weren't Clerical.

Lady Hilda Dunhaven was sixteen years old.when her father, tbe old eari, •Mddraly died at a solitary place at Nor­ folk known as Hum Sea. Until his fif-Meth year the Eari of Dunhaven had •pent his life in riotous living, then, more Bar the purpose of having a son to succeed him. tn tola title, he married the nineteenCr-oM daughter of Joseph Bowden, who I amassed-a large fortune on the Stock Exchange. But. In*tea<f of a son, a daugh­ ter, Hilda, was born to him. and hi* diaappoiptnirnt was so great that he fairly hated the infant and watched the little Hilda growing into womanhood with su­ preme indifference, if not neglect. His wife died a few years after giving birth to ber child, and then the old earl let the magnificent home of his forefathers. 11a•endale Park, and retired to Hurst Sea, where, shutting himself out from the world, -he devoted .the remainder of his days to money grabbing, continually add­ ing to his fortune. Under such circumstances Lady Hilda grewuip. never seeing any one but the two servants, Stephen Homes nnd bis wife Joan, and a faded spinster of fifty. Miss Darwin, to whom was intrusted- the en­ tire charge and-education of the young And now the old earl was dead, found •tiff and cold in bis bed.- "He died of heart disease,".Miss Darwin informed the now orpnrued daughter. “Doctor Hnd•oa says that he has consulted him sev­ eral times about it. Everything has been done for him You would like lo see him, “I do no; know; 1 should lie frightened, I think. Miss Darwin," she answered. -“Just as you like, my dear. You know, «f course, what a great difference thia will make in your life. I have- sent for Lady Dare! and Mr. lx"onard—Lord Dunhaven he wi|J be now." Lady HildiHooked at her with wondcr“tally Darel? Who is she? Who is Lon! Dunhaven? I do not understand in the least." ’ “Heaven forbid." sighed Miss Darwin, “tfiat 1 should say one evil word of the poor dead earl, but he plight have trusted you a little more, his own child. He for­ bade mr ever to yalk to you about family affairs." “He did not love me," said the girl, •adly. “No, he did not: he wanted a son. Mr. Leonard Darel is the late earl’s next of kin and heir. He succeeds to the title aud estates. He will be the thirteenth Earl of Dunhav.-n. Havendale Park, Fair Oaks •nd this house will go to him. He takra your father's place. Lady Darel is the .young earl’s’mother," she added; "and 1 have heard that she Is considered one of the proudest women in England. Ah, my dear, you hare been of more consequence to the world than the world has been to you. Your life will all 1»e changed now.” “Why?" asked tady Hilda, suddenly. “You will have your mother's fortune. She had a very large one. and it i* sure to be yours now.” said Miss Darwin. “Lady Darel wifi, of course, take you under her charge; ahe will bring you out; you will take your proper place in the world uow." Neither Lady Hilda nor Miss Darwin thought of going to [eat. At stated intervEls Joan brought them strong tea. and there^wM a-qrmt deal said about “keep­ ing up." am! not breaking down. They -oat aud watched through the lung, silent Bight. It was strange on the next day to find the gloomy house even more gloomy, with tho darkened winflows and closed doors, with the awful presence nf the King nt Terror*. Lady Hilda would fain have gone to the sea. would fain have listened to what the waves had to say about her Dew life, but Miaa Darwin assured her it must not be done; that if Lady Darel •hould come and find her out she would be seriously displeased, and Lady Hilda was compelled to yield. . Another long. silent day passed, and on the morning of the next day they catne. Lady Hilda wa* alone In her room. She ■ heird the sounds that announced the ar­ rival, she heard the subdued voices, the • hushed footsteps, and she wailed in a fever of suspense. It seemed to her hours before Miss Darwin came to her. Then that self-satisfied lady looked aa if ahe had been roused from her calm. -’Come quickly. Lady Hilda," shr said. ‘“Lady Darel has asked to see you, and we must not keep het waiting." “What is she like?*' asked tbe young .girl, eagerly. “Like do one I have ever seen. She Is 'magnificent, but proud as a queen—proudlitr Chau the Queen of Sheba herself, and •o beautifully dressed.” "I have never seen any one beautifully dressed iu all my life,” said the young girl with a sigh. Then holding Miss Darwin's bsfid Tightly clasped in her own. sbe went to the large, bar^, ili-furnished room called by courtesy the drawing room. At first her eyes were dauled. She saw a tall, handsome woman of queenly presence and fair, blonde beauty, superbly dressed, her •white hands shining with Jewels, a lady •wbt» looked up in haughty surprise aa she -catered, but neither moved nor addressed There were ■ few moments of awkward •lienee, then Miss Darwin said: "Your ladyship expressed a desire to wee Lady Hilda—she is here." Then the arched eyebrows were raised, •nd the proud eyes rested on the girl in •ilent wonder. “Lady Hikia." she repeated, in a tone surprise. “I beg pardon—1 had no idea," and the proud glance feM with significant meaning on the shabby dress and the worn oboes. “Lady Hilda,*’ she repeated, “pray excuse me, I was so entirely unprepared fcr—for thia kind of thing.” Sbe waited a few moments before giving Iber hand to the trembling girl, then bend­ tag her head, she touched the pale face with her lips. “You are surprised to find me no badly 4eesa»d and without any manners," oaid envied the fisher girls." ••Ml speak freely." said her ladyship: t is not good manner*, 1 moot see once. What could the earl have been thinking about’*" . Her face flushed suddenly ax they heard the sound of footsteps. ‘That is my son.” sbe said. "Lord Dunhaven." The door opened, and a young man en­ tered the room. * CHAPTER IL Half uin hour had elapxed staee Lady Hilda first stood trembling before the proudest woman in England. In a few harried words she had introduced the new Lord Dunhaven to the late eari’s daugh­ ter. He had looked at her with ryes so utterly indifferent that he had hardly seen her; be did not give two thoughts to her —a school girl, who had just lost her father—a tail, slender, unformed girl. He noted* the coarse, ill-fitting dress and the worn shoes; hr noted the general want of elegance, and do interest awoke in his heart for her—he merely bowed. He waa tbe first young gentleman Lady Hilda had seen—his was almost the first young face on which her eyes had. rested, and it delighted her. The only emotion that passed through his mind was one of wonder that such a girl should bo Lady Hilda Dunhaven. Lady Hilda stole away to the only spot nn earth where ahe felt at home. The face of the restless sea wax to her as the face of an old and dear friend. The waves sang strange rhymes to her. “You are a great heiress; your father Is dead: your life is all changed; the great lady treats you with contempt. You have seen a nice face—a face you like,” they repeated over and over again without In­ termission; yet lt_ comforted her. She could think more clearly by the sound of the heaving, restless sea. She sat there dntil the confusion become more clear, until she was migtress of her own thoughts, then she went hfime. But ns she was hurrying over the sands she met the young earl face to face, and stood still with a sudden frightened cry. But for the cry in all probability he would not have noticed her; as it waa, he stood still and looked at her. t*You wifi not tell that you have met me?" she said. “1 thought no one would know." w He laughed carelessly. “I might be more interested in the mat­ ter if I knew who you were." he said. Then she raised her fair yonng face, and he looked at it with smiling indiffer­ ence. “Do you not know me?" she asked, and the thought crossed her mind that she had only seen him once. Yet she would have known him anywhere and in any place. “No, I do nut indeed,” he replied. “Ought I to know you?" “I am Lady Hilda Dunhaven.” she an­ swered, and in one moment bis manner completely changed; the smiling indiffer­ ence became constraint. He raised his hat nnd bowed deferentially to her. "1 beg your pardon.” he said, and the very tone of his voice had changed; "but why are you ont here, nnd alone?" "You will not tell?" she replied,- hur­ riedly. "Lady Darel would lie cross, I should not like her to know." “I will not tell, a* you axk me not," was the grave reply; "but I should very much like to know what brought you here, if you will trust me." ' "I have been to the sea.” she replied. "WlTfrncvcr I feel very unhappy I go there. Some people have living friends; the only friend 1 have is the sea.” “Why arc you friendless?" he asked. "To answer that question would be to tell you the story of my life." she re­ plied. “and that would not Interest you." Another few minutes on the-’ yellow sands, a silent walk across the green­ sward. cud they stood by the little side door from which Lady Hilda generally went. Then he raised his hat and stood before her with careless grace and negli­ gence. Had she been a young queen he could not have treated her with greater respect, or more distantly. She looked in his handsome face, longing that he would speak to her again—that ho would talk to her. Almost inclined to cry out to him that ahe had never seen any young man like himself—that ahe was more lonely than any other creature living; yet. child as she was. pride stopped the words on her lips. Hr bowed to her. "Let me advise-you,” he said, “not to do this kind of thing again. It is very ro­ mantic. bnt very unsafe.” She looked at him with gleaming eyes. “Should you know me now," she asked, "if you met me again?" “No,” he answered. “It is dark: I can­ not see your face. Now good-night, my little kinswoman." “Stay one moment," she said. “You are Lord Dunhaven now, in my father’s place. “Yes," he answered, with a slight tinge of impatience. "It seems strange.” she said. “He lies dead and no one seem* to care for him. You have his title; all that belonged to him goes to others. Yet no one seems to give one thought nf regret. Is it so al­ ways? Does no one ever love or sorrow for the dead?" “You ask me such strange questions.” he replied. “As a rale, men die aa they have lived. If they hare won lore, or deserve it, It follows them in death.” CHAPTER III. Then esme the day when the earl. In accordance with hlx own wish, expre**ed long before he died, was buried in the churchyard of Hurst Sea. Few attended the funeral, the rector, the doctor, the young eari. the family solicitor, Mr. Pres­ ton; they all returned to the gloomy house “Of course, reading the will is but a farce," said the young earl to his lady mother; “let us get it over quickly; this place gives me the horrors.” “Of course he has left you money; he knew you had none," said Lady Darel. “I know for certain that he had the free coptrol of his late wife’s large fortune. Some one was telling me the other day that it waa worth at least two hundred They were interrupted -by a anmmoi > the library, where Mr. Prextoa awaits opened and Lady Hilda catered; they had had in some respects done his duty. Hr had left handsome legacies to Joan and Stephen Homes, his faithful followers; he had left twenty pounds to Lady Darel. that she might buy a mourning ring. To his daughter, Hilda Dunhaven—there was no pretense of calling her beloved—to her he left the whole of her mother’s fortune, on one condition—that within twelve months after his death she married his heir. Leonard. Earl Dunhaven. If she refused to marry him within this stated time the money was to be divided between different charitable Institution*, and she was to hare one hundred- a year for life; if she consented to the marriage and Lord Dunhaven refused his consent, the money was to lie by at interest and descend to his children. In no case and under no circumstances was the money to belong to the young earl. The lawyer read ont. in-his grave, deep -voice, the words traced by the dead eari’s hand. "Tell tny daughter for me that there has been no pretense of love between us; I wanted a son—she came in his stead. The only way, it appears to me. In which I can set matters right, is by ordaining the mar­ riage of the man who inherits my title with my daughter, who should, in strict justice, inherit her mother’s .money. I have no money of my own to leave, but by my own efforts I bare almost doubled the fortune my wife left to me. By.tbese means the money and the title will go to­ gether. Tell my daughter from me that she must not refuse: that if ahe refuses, I shall not Teat even in my grave—" A sudden sry Interrupted him. The girl ha l sprung from her scat, and stood befot* them with uplifted hands. ‘^Xot rest In his grave!” she cried. "Oh, whar shall I do? Would he come back to me all white and'cold as I saw him?” Her whole figure trembled with fear; her white face quivered. Mr. Preston has­ tened to her and took the trembling hands In-his. , “My dear young lady.” he said, “pray calm yourself; those are but idle words. Every man rests in his grave, l>ecause it is tbe will of heaven that he should do so. You must have been terribly frightened." He saw that she was beside herself with “I nm frightened.” she said. "Wher­ ever I go. by day or by nigfttHin darkness or light. I sec that face before me, white and cold." Then Lady .Darel rose from her scat, aud going to the terrified girl, sat down by ber aide. “Hilda," she said, “this is cither cow­ ardice of love of sensation. Both are quite unworthy of a Dunhaven: let us have no more of it. You have interrupt­ ed the reading of the wifi." Her proud manner quieted the yonng girl aud subdued the rising hysteria. The lawyer continued: "1 wish my daughter to marry Ixird Dunhaven on her seventeenth birthday; until then I wish her to reside with Lady Darel. During the year of her residence tady Darel is to receive the sum of three thousand pounds for tho expenses she must incur. I leave five hundred pounds for my daughter’s trossran. and repeat again my urgent command that in this matter she obeys me." "That Is all,” said Mr. Preston, ax he folded up the papers, while the three most concerned looked bewildered at each oth- ■‘The most charitable thing we can say is that the late earl was mad," said Lord Dunhaven. * CHAPTER IV. The picture of the gloomy house, the bare, ribbed sand, the dull, gray sen, went with Lady Hilda from the old life to the new; went with her to the end of her days. She stood on the morning of her departure from Hurst Sea, bidding fare­ well to the sea, ber only living friend. The journey from Hurst Sea to London war Lady Hilda's first experience in life. This was the world then—flashing bright, gay of music and perfume, fall of odor and warmth. Bill of laughter and song— this was the work! she-had dreamed of in her gray, silent home. Then they reached’ London, and it was well for Lady Darel’* peace of mind thnt surprise aud astonishment had made the young girl speechless. The vast rise of the great city, the crowds of people, the endless lino of lights, all bewildered her aud struck her dumb. Lady Darel began to congratulate herself on haring taught her charge something of good manners mi last. She had seen London, yet had no questions to ask. Another week and Lady Hilda began to grow accustomed to her new life, tady Darel would have everything en regie for her. She purchased a very pretty and ex­ tensive wardrobe for hey: she hired a fashionable lady’s maid, thinking little and caring less for the torture thia must inflict on ber protege; sbe purchased a horse and insisted that she should take riding lessons. She worked as few girls work. In aftar life she called this her transition year. She passed from a lonely, miserable child­ hood into a gay and brilliant girlhood. She wa* industry itself; she rose nnd worked until it was late. Sbe studied music and drawing, she took leasons in daacing. Even Lady Darel, so difficult to please, was compelled to praise her, and say that ■be was doing well. One by one the month* passed, and tbe great hope of her life had not come to her —no one loved her. She wa* urged al­ ways by Lady Darel to remain In the drawing room when visitor* came, so she made many friends, but they were simply acquaintances of the hour. Sbe liked some of tbccn. and disliked other*; but no one had said yet. "I love you, Hilda." Yet day by day, this longing for lave increa*-, ed. Between herself and Lady DsrsJ there came an armed peace—as for expeeting love from that proud and stately lady, she never ventured to think of it. The only person she had seen yet whom she felt inclined to love wa* the man whom her father’* will compelled her to marry. She had never seen him since He had written to Lady Pared, telling her that he had gone to join some friends on he should decide whether he would go to Australia or remain in England. Of ane that art her heart quit* nt rest. Hhr knew nothing of a lover’s lov*. thia the handsome eari; sbe did not fancy her­ self in Icve with him; but hr had been kind to Err. and she longed to see him again. Hr had made the only gleam of brightness in hey life, and ahe longed for home. She was simple and innodbnt as awhlld. She never forgot that she was to marry him, but of married life ahe knew nothing. Talk to her of love, she understood; she was keenly alive, keenly sensitive; talk to her of marriage, her ideas were all vague, and unformed. Lady Darel was true to her trust, as In her prond way she would be true to anything. 8be never tried to influence the girl; she never men­ tioned the marriage tp her; in-her own mind ahe had not decided whether she had wished for it or not. She went to the young girl’s room one morning. “Hilda, when are you seventeen?" “On the second of June, Lady Darel,” “My son comes homo on the 20th of May*; then, I suppose, we shall have this business settled. Hare you thought of It. Hilda?". The fair, girlish face drooped, while hot blnshoo came over It. “I have thought of it. but It seems to me like-a dark dream from which 1 dread waking." she replied, and Lady Darel said no more; “dark drcams" were not in her line. (To be continued.) A Child’s Hymn. • At the time of the terrible accident a year or two ago at the coal mines near Scranton. Pa., several men were buried for three days, nnd all efforts to rescue them 'proved unsuccessful. A spectator wrote: “The majority of the miners were Germans. They wore In a state of intense excitement, caused by sympahty for the wives and chil­ dren of the buried men nnd despair at their own baulked efforts. A great mob of Ignorant men nnd women as­ sembled at the mouth of tbe mine on tbe evening of the third day In a con­ dition of high nervous tension which fitted them for any mad net. A sullen murmur arose Mint It was folly to dig farther, thnt tbe tneu were dead; and this wns followed by cries of rage at the rich mine-owners, who were tn no way responsible for the accident. A hasty word or gesture might have pro­ duced nn outbreak of fury. Standing near was a little German girl, perhaps eleven years old. Her pale face and frightened glances from side to side showed that she fully understood the danger of tbe moment. Suddenly, with a great effort, she l>egan to sing In a hoarse whisper, which could not be heard. Then she gained courage, and her sweet childish voice rang out In Luther’s grand old hymn, familiar to every German from his cradle. ’A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.’ There was a silence like death. Then one voice Joined the girl's, and presently another and another, until the whole great multitude were singing. A great quiet seemed to fall upon their hearts. They resumed their work with frexh seal, and befdrc morning the Joyful cry came up from the pit that tbe men were found alive. Never was a won! more In season than that child's hymn.” For Turninc tho Grindstone.

To construct tbe device, take tbe small sprocket wheels aud chain from an old worn binder or other farm ma­ chinery, and gear it two to one; that Is, the lower or crank abaft wheel must have twice ax many cogs as the one on the stone shaft. Use a stone twenty or more'inches In diameter, and be sure to get a good one. An Amherst Is better than a Berea, for all purposes. If geared higher than two to one. It will turn bard, and if much lower It will It la slow, tedious work to cut the po­ tato seed fur planting large fields. Yet with most kinds of potatoes tbe cut seed is a necessity, for if the seed is planted whole there will be too many binali potatoes from crowding of so many stalks in a hill. It is true not all the eyes on n whole or even of a cut po­ tato will grow, but if seed is planted whole there will be far too many for profit, it Is dirty work cutting pota­ toes, not so much from the soil adher­ ing to them as from the potato juice, which discolors and rusts tbe knife and stains the hands. This discoloring is easily removed by wetting the bands In pure water without soap, and then bolding them over one or two burning sulphur matches. The fumes of sul­ phur are excellent to bleach anything. Mr. Henry Binger, a well-known and thrifty fanner of near Duvall Station, . Scott County, Ky.. has for the past two years been domesticating tbe ground hog with ranch sueccsn. Mr. Binger found a burrow iu which he captured seventeen ground hogs, find, taking them Into a small lot on his place, be built a close wire fence through which none could escape, tast year the bogs Increased to 205, and this year there were 1,873. Of this number Mr. Singer killed 1,000, which he salted away and will mnoke dry, as Kentucky farmers do with ordinary jx>rk.

There are many fanners who are careful men, who arc striving to reduce their ope­ . rat ions to systematic rules, and who arc doing n good deal in this line In the way of keeping dally records of the milking of each cow. In keeping ledger accounts with each important crop, and in carefully recording the average work done by faithful men In tbe sev­ eral occupations of the farm. These are the kind of farmers who arc, as a rule, Successful. They quickly detect a leak when one occurs, and can usual­ ly tell, after a year or two of expe­ rience, which operations of the farm are profitable and deserve extension, and which should be abandoned as un­ likely to prove profitable. Thn farm­ er’s business ns usually carrier on 1* Bat FOR SE-C-b. largely a mixed industry. There arc usually a few staples produced for sale which the farm Is adapted for by nalure to produce; and, besides, there is a considerable variety of produce raised for home consumption by the family or by hired help. If th funner wonk! carefully count the cost of each of these products, he would doubtless find thnt he could profitably extend some of the small products, and sell the sur­ plus at a profit, and not infrequently he would discover that some of the staple* supposed to yield a sure profit are produced at a very small profit, or even at a loss. In slioft. the farmer who U*es his brains, and does not sole­ ly rely upon the strength of his muscle. Is most likely to be successful. The absolute failures are those who at­ tempt to get along with a minimum ex­ penditure of both qualities. Tough Scorpion. , An English army officer, whose regi­ ment was stationed at Alahubad, was one morning putting on his boot When suddenly he felt n sharp prick. He knew at once what the trouble was. Within a few days several scorpions had been seen about the barracks Without question one of them had taken up Its quarters In his boot and had now stung him. “Well.” he muttered, “the harm Is done, and I may as well kill tbe crea­ ture. It will get away If I take tbe boot off." So he began stamping violently with a view to crushing the life out of the Hop the Cow Kickins. scorpion.

Consolation. . Many are the tales of miserly men aud the witticisms which their falling drew forth. Every one knows the story of the wealthy man who deaired his son to bury with him a large'por­ tion of his fortune. The son was more astute than his father, for he drew a check for the required amount and placed it in the coffin with tbe remark that ’the governor waa always a care­ ful man and never carried money about.** Another tale Is this:, Tbe departing Croesus was a clergyman, who had paid more attention to tbe laying up of treasure on earth than In heaven. In bis last days he waa carefully tended by a faithful body servant. “Ah. Tom," be said to his servant, “so I must go and leave all my gold and silver behind me.” “Ay. sir,” replied Tom. “there’s no help for that.

If provided, would help mnke an agreeable variety. The purple egg plant Is most productive und treat. The plant belongs to the same botanical family as the potato, and must be pro­ tected from attacks of the ixrtato larva. The best way la to watch the plants closely so long as the potato beetles are flying, and kill the beetles before they have laid their eggs. If any larvae hatch a weak dilution of parts green ■will kill them. Profit from Garden Herb*. A few papers of herb seeds, such as sage, parsley and tbe like, should be found In every fanner’s garden. They are easily grown, and a home supply will not only save paying out a good deal of money In the course of a year, but tbe surplus may be sold at rates which leave a good profit. The demand Is uot large In any neighborhood, but for the nmonnt of land and*labor re­ quired few garden products pay a* well. _________ Work in I'pittrjr Kerplnr, Every year many people begin poul­ try keeping with a vague notion that It Is an easy way to get a living, all tbe work being done mainly by tbe hens. But such persons inevitably fall, aa they ought. There is no easy way to success in anything.

President McKinley rises at 7 o'clock and breakfasts with his family at 8:30.

There are legless ami armle*s veterans, in “faded blouse of blue.” and in the nattiest of spring attire, but the bit of bronze button on the lapel of each is oftun associated with a tiny knot of ribbon, which means a "medal of hon­ or" man. There arc crank* who have inventions that they want the President to see and recommend. There are othei cranks who have presents for the Presi­ dent. which they desire to prerent in per son. There are myriads of curious peo­ ple who want to shake hands with tbe President in his own office. instead of performing that-cercmony down stairs in the East room, as they would have an opportuuity to do each afternoun. The v.-ouwi have schemes all their own. It is not often that they are after office, though some women who want postoffices prejudice their chances by coming to moke a special (des of th-/ President, "because they are women." Many.of them have sous whom they want appointed locadctships nt West Point or Annapolis. Doz­ ens of them have schemes for raising money, which they are sure will go like hot cakes if the President will just in­ dorse them. Others work the charity racket. They have concerts, or fairs, or plays, or something equally as frivolous, which they desire the President nnd Ids wife to ''patron" with their names. l.ccion* of Office-Seeker*. Among the waiters will be found as­ pirants for foreign consulships and the under offices, those who are seeking (ireferment .in this country, and those who come to give timely protest against cer­ tain appointments. Each and every one of them has an ax to grind nnd they use the President's nerves for a grindstone. This Senator has a candidate for a berth abroad, aud he rings the changes on his right to have this appointment, day in and day out, day after day, while his col­ league. who is at hl* heels, urges some other man with just as much persistency for the very same place. Here is a po­ litical "boss" who wants to "place" one of his lieutenants in political work. He talks and argues and all but tries to brow* beat the President into appointing the ward heeler. There is an all-around good fellow, who has friend* everywhere, to all of whom he feela under obligation, and he cornea in with pockets and bands filled with recommendation* fur half a dozen or more. He urges tbe claims of each, and in effect tqlls the President that his place in the House or Senate, ns tbe case may be, depend* upon his getting just these particular offices. For two long bours this sort of thing keeps up. the President listening, always listening, nev­ er talking much, except to ask a few point­ ed questions, and then at noon tha-eommon herd is run through into the secre­ tary’s room, and from there is cut out in bunches and corraled in the President’s room, where he gives a few moments to each. This is perhaps tho most trying hour of all. Among the cranks who slip In at such times are women who are “slaving them­ selves to death to pay off the mortgage on tbe homestead," so they inform the Presi­ dent, sod they have come to him. as he is rich, because he draws such an enormous •alary. *nd ask him to give them a hun­ dred dollars, or fifty, or five, as the case maybe, toward that deelrahle end. Others want him to indorse notea for them. The IS OW THE WRAPPER OF EVERY BOTTLE OF CRSToma A perfect Remedy forConstipation. Sour Stomach.Diarrhoea.

For a week the defend*nLhs* b«*a before* the police justice on a preliminary bearing. Nearly all of the time of the court has been consumed by rhe examination of the State’s wit­ nesses. Tlir defense declined to present any testimony, nnd the attorneys battled dor the release of the defendant on the ground that the State had not made out Its case. When the court rendered the decision I.uctgert sot at the rear of his attorneys. An the justice reviewed the case briefly the defendant leaned for­ ward, his hand jesting on a chair in front, and listened ifitratly to every, word spoken by the court. When the court reached that portion of his decision which sent the sausage-maker to the cell to await the action of the grand jury his face was like marble. As the jnstjee stated that the evidence was sufficient to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Mrs. Luetgert was dead and that there was sufficient^circumstantial evidence to connect Luetgert with the case as the probable agent a slight tremor of the lip was all that was noticeable. 8MEDLEY IS A VICTOR.

The House passed two minor Senate bills, but b*cau*e of non-existence of com­ mittees could do no other work. How­ ever. n lively attack was made upon the policy of holding up appointment of com­ mittee* until after the Senate finishes with the tariff. The Senate Wednesday made greater progress on the tariff bill than lu any .day since the debate opened, completing more than half of the important metal schedule.

The Senate in executive session spent some lime iu discussing whether confirma­ tions* should be delayed because of the absence of a Senator opposing them.

The Sfiifllr again made good progress on the tariff bill Thursday, covering about ten pages of the metals schedule nnd al­ most completing it. The House proceed­ ings were enlivened by the attempt of Mr. Terry (Dem.) of Arkansas to secure con­ sideration, as a privileged matter, of a resolution for the immediate appointment of the committee on foreign nffair*. It was ruled out of order and an appeal taken from the decision of the chair was laid on the table by a strict party vote. Several bills were p«i*»ed by unanimous consent. The Frye bill to prevent collis­ ions on certain harbors, rivers and in­ land waters of the Unite,! State* and the Senate resolution for the relief of the E.l Paso flood sufferer*, amended so as to make the appropriation of $10,000 avail­ able out of the unexpended balance of the appropriation for the Mimdwippi flood •uffere.-*. were passe<l and the conference report on the Indian appropriation bill was adopted. The Senate bad a period of speech mak­ ing Friday, and as a result little progress wns made on the tariff bill. The advance covered about two pages or seven para­ graphs. and brought the Senate up to the wool schedule, the first' item of which was considered but not completed. When the Senate laid aside lhe tariff bill Saturday night it had reached the sugar schedule, which has been the sub­ ject of so much interest and c.*:fli<-t. During the day many of the paragraph* of the w«hmI schedule had been tagreed to, but that restoring lumber to the dutiable list at $2 per 1.000 fe*>t proved the greatest stumbling block since the debate began.

NEGRO LYNCHED BY FRENZIED PEOPLE OF URBANA, a Career of a Western Adventuress Who Hss Encountered Alt the Ups and Downs of the Poker Tabla-Travels ou the "Blind BaggaKe.*' Gambler and Sport. When the Northwestern limited train 'from the Enst pulled Into the station -at Superior, Wia., the other morning, there alighted from the platform ot the “blind baggage” a woman plainly but ■•babbily dreamed, carrying a atuall traveling bag in one luutd and a news­ paper in tbt* other. There was a large •crowd. at the station, and scores of -eyes followed her womleriugly as she walked gracefully up thp platform and ■entered the waiting room. The brake­ man' painted In his work to scrutinize the female who bad dared to steal a ride in genuine hobo style. The -woman said her name was Sil▼er Nell, and that she bad come from New York City and was on her way to Butte, Mont., where she Intended to go into tbo gambling business. She said •be had lost over Jl.OOU on the >\>r bect-Fltxxltnmons tight and was al­ most entirely without money, so that It was now necessary for her to travel a la hobo. Silver' Nell is one of the strangest and most interesting characters in the Country. For ten years ahe has -trav­ eled •afoot, by rail, by water and by coach, and has probably covered as much ground as any drummer In ’America. As an adventuress she has bad 'more varied and trying experi­ ences than any other woman of mod­ ern times, and ns a society woman she has also onjoyed popularity. She Is a gambler by profession, nnd as n aide Issue indulges frequently in •pecutatlou on tin? out<,-ome of sporting events of all kinds. She Is called Sti­ ver Nell because she Invariably uses •liver dollars instead of poker- chips when playing poker. She has never been known by any other name—at least, not during the last ten or fifteen years—and she claims to possess no other. She has spent most of her time In the West duriug the hist ten years, but nearly every town of any size in the East baa been honored with her presence, and the ■ *i*ortliig man East or West who has not heard of Silver Nell must neceaefrily be a new re­ cruit. She claims to be only 28 years old. but looks a trifle older. She also claims to be of French descent. Silver Nell began her career as a gambler in Helena, Mont., ten years ago. Her father, whose only name known to the community was Faro Pete. had opened a gambling house, and the girl was Installed ns "lookout” for the roulette nnd dice tables. The business of Faro Pete flourished, nnd the old man’s pockets bulged with bank rolls. In the meantime the daughter worked faithfully at her I tost and lent to the establishment the at­ traction of. her presence. During "off watch" hours Nell was always In read­ iness to take a seat at the poker table. When she played, the stakes were high and the game fair, for no one dared risk a "shift” before the watch­ ful eyes of the lookout girl. One day Faro Pete died, and the placc,jvas closed. The girl, who was then 3^or 25 years of age. taking the few tlioTmrmTTTollars left by her fath­ er, left Helena for parts unknown. A few months later she turned up ns the proprietor of n gambling bouse lu San Francisco. The novelty of a woman proprietor drew a large patronage, and money literally flowed Into the girl's hands for a few months. But the po­ lice interfered at last, and Sliver Nell was compelled to seek another field. With a "roll” said to amount to $10,000. •he reached Denver and remained there a few weeks, occasionally sitting tn n game of poker. In tills way she lost several thousand dollars nnd con- bilver xxll os tux road. eluded to try her luck elsewhere. She traveled from town to town through every Western State, always ready for a game of poker, always with a well filled purse, nnd always attracting the attention of the sporting fraternity and at the same time commanding Its re­ spect. ______________________ _ ---!!

WIs., the oilier morning, there- alighted from tbe platform of the “blind baggage” a woman plainly but ^•habblly dressed, carrying a tuuaJl •traveling bag In one band and a news$Mqx?r iu the other. There was a large ■crowd at. the station, and scores of -eyes followed her wunderiugly as she walked gracefully- up the plptform and ■entered tbe waiting room. The brakemaa jth'used In his work to scrutinize the female "who bad dared to steal a ride in genuine hobo style. The woman said her name was Sil­ ver Nell, and that she had come from New York City and was on her way to Butte, Bout., where she intended to go Into tbe gambling business. She wild •be bud lost over $1,000 on tbe Corbett-Fitzalmmons tight and was al­ most entirely without money, so that it was now necessary for her to travel a la hobo. Silver Nell is one of lhe strangest and most Interesting characters Ln the couihry. For ten years she has trav­ eled afoot, by rail.

She Is a gambler by profession, nnd as a side Issue Indulges frequently In speculation on Uh* outcome of sporting events of all kinds. She Is called Sil­ ver Nell because she Invariably uses silver dollars instead of poker chips when playing poker. She has never been knowu by iwty other name—ax least, not during the last ten or fifteen years—and she claims to possess no other. She has spent most of her time In tbe West duriug the last.ten years, but nearly every town of any size In the East has l>een honored with her presence, and the sporting man East or West who has not heard of Silver Nell must necessarily be a new re­ cruit. She claims to be only 28 years old, but looks a trifle older. She also claims to be of French descent. Silver Nell began her career as a gambler in Helena, Mont., ten years ago. Her father, whose only mime known to tbe community was Faro Pete, had opened a gambling bouse, and the girl was Installed ns “lookout" for the roulette hnd dice tables. The business of Faro Pete flourished, nnd the old man’s pockets bulged witb bank rolls. In the meantime the daughter worked faithfully at her post and lent to tbe establishment the at­ traction of her presence. During “off watch” hours Nell was always in read­ iness to take a scat at the poker table. When she played, the stakes wenhigh nnd the game fair, for no one dared risk a "shift" la-fore tbe watch­ ful eyes of the lookout girl. One day Faro Pete died. an«t the place was closed. The girl, who was then 20 '\r 25 years of age. taking the few tbousahrtTionars left by her fath­ er. left Helena for parts unknown. A few months later she turned up as the proprietor of a gambling bouse in San Francisco. Tbe novelty of a woman proprietor drew a large patronage. and money literally flowed into the girl's bands for a few months. But tbe jx>Uce Interfered nt last, and Silver Nell was compelled to seek another field.

A few weeks since njid such kind words would have wrung from her a heart full of lore; it was too late now. She knew that it was for her money, and not for herself, that mother and son valued her. But still further, to her intense surprise. Lady Darel bent dbwn nnd kissed her— not merely touched her face with her lips, a* was her ordinary fashion, with a touch as light as a butterfly's wings. She kissed her and raid: “My dear Hilda, you become my daugh­ ter to-day, and I hope we shall always be good friends. You will wear the bracelet to-day ?” . "Yes." "I love my son very much, and I nm very proud of him. I hope he will be hap­ py. I hope yon will have many tranquil years, together.” “Hr will be happy," said the girl. “He will hare all that he wants, and that makes happiness, I suppose, in this world.” Lady Darel looked thoughtfully at her; ahe did not understand the girl in thia mood; It was unusual: there was some subtle change in her face and her manner, as though she had passed through some ordeal. Yet that could not be; there had been nothing to disturb the oven tenor of her way. Still her ladyship was baffled. Then came another rnp at the door; this time it was a superb bouquet from tbe young earl. “Flowers," raid Lady Hilda. “Look, Annie, for the thorns." 'The thorns, my lady?” ahe replied; "there are qone." And the thought came to her that the sharpest thorn of all was the one planted in her own heart. So the ill-omened marriage tsok place, nnd the general feeling was thnt, although the.ceremony had been'one of the grand­ est, yet the chief actors in it were not to be envied. It was five In the afternoon when they started for Dover; they went across to Calais by tbe evening Iroat. and on to Paris by the express train; every detail of the journey had been arranged, there­ fore no word was spoken during the drive to London bridge, save once, when the car) said he never remembered to have seen Londftn so crowded. Then came the confusion of starting. The earl purchase*! every paper or periorical he thought she would like, and gave them to her. The white lips were never unlocked for one word. Then at last they were on their way to Dover, and the earl looking-for the first time thdt day at his wife’s face, saw how white and set and sad it was. to her with a few indifferent words.

The station st Dover was crowded with passengers; as usual, there were some lookers-on. A lady watching the passen­ gers as they alighted, calling her hus­ band’s attention to* Lady Dunhaven. » "Look,’ she said, "at that young lady; how beautifully she is dressed. How young she is. yet she ha* a look ’Ike com­ ing death In her face." The young countess, who overheard the words, smiled to hereelf and clasped more tightly the letter she held in her hand; She-walked with her husband in silence on to the pier; there was the lovely, laugh­ ing summer sea; the waves that ahe bad loved and listened to. A-great longing came over her to open her arms and spring into that friendly sea, the chim« of the waves was so familiar to her. She saw the Channel boat at the end. The earl cried out: "The British Queen. I went in that same .boat last yCnr." They descended the steps and stood to­ gether on the deck whi|e all tbe luggage was brought in. ‘Lord Dunhaven said, at last: “Now we arc all right; the two ser­ vants are here, theJuggage is all safe; we shall start in a few minutes.” She looked wildly around. "I should like to go to the cabin," ahe said. “I will go alone." She turned to him and looked in his fare, •‘Lord Dunhaven. you asked me to kiss yon a short time since, and I refused." she raid; “will you shake bands with me?" There was a strange light in the dark eyes—such a strange light on the white face that he was startled into doing what she asked him. Silently he took her hand and held it for half n minute tightly clasp­ ed in his own, then he turned nway.' and she went down the cabin stairs. A.strange haste came over her; her trembling hands could hardly obey her will. “Annie," she cried, and her maid camo quickly. “Give me tho black cloak and tho traveling hood." she said. In two minutes her whole outward ap­ pearance was completely changed; the beautiful dress was covered by n long black cloak: the beautiful bohnet with its rich jdumes had given place to a black traveling hood. “Why. my Indy, yon have quite dis­ guised yourself," said the maid.

When the use of the automatic vacu­ um brake was first made compulsory on our railroads, great pains were taken by the foremen of engine sheds to see that the drivers were fully alive to tbe proper working of It. x. In one of our northern towns a fore­ man was examining a driver on this subject, and after questioning him for some time put the following query to hi in: "If you were in charge of an engine nnd the brake failed, nnd you saw n collision was unavoidable, what steps would you take?" The answer. If totally unexpected, was not devoid of genuine wit. The driver looked bls questioner up and down. nnd. with a look of contempt, blurted out: •The tender steps, sir; and pretty handy, too!” Launching a Ship.The Japanese apply one of their many pretty ways to the launching of ships.

Seven nephews nnd nieces contested the will on the grounds of incompetency nnd that the deceased had been unduly influenced by church people, but were defeated in the Probate Court. The case was then ap­ pealed by them to the Circuit Court. At the la*t moment, however, a compromise wa* effected, by which the church agreed to pay $7,000 to the relatives.

For Its bulk, the egg furnishes the most nutritious food that a man can eat. Foot Water. For Mes«arinj Land. It fa often desirable to meemire* n plot of ground for planting or to “rnn" the sidtw and ends of a plot to get a piece evenly plowed. To do tills with a measuring pole require* no little stoop­ ing. earc to avoid error and considersble time and effort. A device Is shown In the accompanying Ilium ration front, the Orange Judd Fanner which is easi­ ly made and'easy to measure land with. Four boards cut In the form shown are “halved" together at the ends and braced by croMfiieces so as to form an octagonal wheel, the circumference be­ ing just one rod and each side oneeighth of a rod. Two handles are put on.’plow handle fash km. and attached to the wheel by a pin at the center. It can then be wheeled In atty direction Water in which soot has been dissolv­ ed has always been a favorite with flor­ ists for manuring plants, and also at ‘the same time keeping off Injurious in­ sects. It'has a slight smell of sulphur, to which doubtless Its power to repel Injurious Insects Is due. Some ammonia it* the water makes it much more effec­ tive ns a fertilizer. The soot is pure varbon, and has considerable power to nbsorirannnonin. which It will give out only ns the roots of plants surround the carbon thus charged and absorb IL Straightening Crooked Ktrcsma. It does not matter much how crooked the little stream may be that meanders through pasture lands. But If it Is to be cut for hay,, or especially If It Is de­ sired to use the land for plowing. It is Important to have the brook straight­ ened, so as to take as little room ns pos­ sible. in many places a straight, deep ditch, cut to lead off a ajream that only runs In the spring, may be profitably turned into an underdrain. The con­ venience of plowing over It and the land saved will make it pay. Whitewashing the Hcnhomc. It Is hardly worth while to paint the henhouse, which Is usually a cheap structure, made warm and comforta­ ble, but not stylish. But at the time of spring denning it should never fall to get a good whitewashing, both Inside nud outside, except the roof. It will destroy all tbe smaller lice and all the eggs that would hatch If this or oil were not applied to them. The white­ wash Is an excellent thing In winter also, as.lt makes the henhouse lighter HOMEMADE UX» MKASL'RBR. and the revolutions counted for the rods passed over. Such a measurer is more catdly made than a circular wheel, on which it is quite difficult for. the ordinary worker to strike such a ■ circle, the circumference of -which will be exactly one rod. This frame is also I mode nnd put together more readily • than a circular wheel. Don’t Overwork tbe Bovs. Farmers are sometimes very !:u*nmddcrate in the treatment of their sons. Without meaning any harm they im­ pose labor upon boys which should be the work of men. Now, the physical energies of a growing boy have already an lm]M»rtant work allotted to them, tliat of building up a strung, healthy organization.

It is really surprising to see a •mall ben—aud some of the best layers Making Hor»M Kat Slowly. Many horses, especially If fed grain, eat it much too fast to get the most good from It. A good way to coiu|m*1 slow eating Is to mix with the grain a few clean itebblcs. that will oblige the horse to gather hls food slowly. A still bettor way is to grind the grain and mix the meal with .three times Its bulk of cut hay, or twice Its bulk of straw. A Tub Filo.

Shakespeare’s anachronisms certain­ ly give him the palm for the greateat number of mistaken. Some of them arc talso strikingly absurd, as, for instance, the allusion to Cato in Coriolanus, supged to have been made two centuries ore Cato was born, and the allusion i striking clock in Julius Caesar cenSturies before such o thing existed. These may. howerer. be put down 'o carelessness aud the chaotic state of chronology in Shakespeare’s time, and none of them are either as absurd or ha indefensible us the error of which taoleridge was guilty when he marred •his immortal “Ancient Mariner” with •the lines: "The horned moon with one bright mar Within the nether tip." For such an Astronomical monstros­ ity as this to have been visible, either ihe star must have been on the earth­ ward side of the moon, or else it must £avc shone through the solid body of our satellite. What makes it all the lucre absurd is the fact that an educated man like Coleridge could hardly have been ignorant of such an elementary fact as this.

The fifth annual Alumni Banquet of the Nashville high schbol was held at the opera house- Wednesday eve­ ning and was attended by a large number of the members of the Alum­ ni association and their friends. The company gathered slowly and passed the time very pleasantly in friendly conversation until they were ordered to take their places at the well-filled tables spread with all the dainties which Nashville culinary art. could produce. As the various courses were served the company was favored with several selections by the guitar and mandolin club, which added much to the enjoy­ ment of the occasion. After all had partakefi’sufficiently to satisfy their physical capacities, Toastmaster H. B. Andrus remonstrated with some of the guests for their over indulgence, and then proceeded to announce the names of those who were to respond to toasts as follows: ‘‘Welcome to’97,” Miss Lida Felghner; "Response,” Miss Fern Purchis; “The Ladles,” Von Fur­ niss; “The Gentlemen," Sarah May Putnam; “Friendship,” J. C. Ketch­ am; “The Printer,” F. D. Smith. At the cloqe of the banquet a shurt business meeting was held and the following officers chosen for the year: Pres., Miss Marcia Beeebe; Vice Pres., B. D. Wotrlog; Secy., Miks Fannie Hardy; Treas., W. Homer Rian; Toast­ mistress for next year, Mrs. G. F. Hough; alternate, F. D. Smith. After extending a hearty vote of thanks to Miss Ream for her excellent recitation, to the orchestra for their tine music, and to the executive com­ mittee who had In charge the prepar­ ation of the sumptuous banquet, the association adjourned until another year shall suggest the necessity of once more meeting to renew old school friendships and arsoclations. The guests present from out of town were Miss Vlpnle Ream of Bastings, Miss Etbelwyn Whalley of Montague, Miss Blanche Pbllllps.of Battle Creek, and Sarah Maj- Putnam of Hillsdale. �snrfacr, with BIG INCREASE SHOWN.

Never tor one moment wax the sound of them away from her ears, or the pain from bcr Jheart.' And then when she enme.to-be qaite «t homo" with them, she learned that a shadow had fallen between the Maters. ' One year ago Ix*ofric Donchildc came to live at-llllde Manor. He bad suc­ ceeded quite suddenly and unexpectedly to rhe title and estate through the death of bis cousin and hl* cousin's two •sou*. Hilde Manor was the next estate to dBrankxome, and as It was only natural. Che families residing at each place had always been on the most friendly and intimnto terms. ““Why are you looking at me xo?" But Anice controlled herself with n marvriowi effort. She dosed her fan and laughed, though the tire of Jealousy was scorching her very heart. Cecile had walked on a few steps in ad■vance; Anice went up to Sir Leofrie aud laid her hand on his arm." “I am jealous,” she said, with a charm­ tag smile: “can you guess why?" “I cannot, indeed, tor I could never think vuu had cause tor jealousy.” “How long have 1 known you. Sir I-eofricT* she asked. “How long? Six months I should say. Miss Pitcairn." he replied. Six months, and only six months; nnd to her it seemed that she bad not lived before she knew him. “Six months.” she repeated, "and dur­ ing all that time yon never gave me a flower. You have only known my sister three Jays, and you gave her a flower with a complinirn: that is like a poem; so What was Ire to say? The beautiful face raised to his. the lore-lit eye* bent on him. The words that rose to his lips were, “I like your sister best.” but po­ liteness forbade him to utter them. “Your jealousy dresses itself in smiles," he said. . “The tetter to hide its tears, perhaps," He stretched out hia hand to gather an'You will let me make amends,” he ‘By giving me the companion flower to cile's? No, that would make no “Dof* your own heart declare no way?*’ «he naked, and be answered, simply: “No." “Then I will pass it by," she said; "but you will own it wot enough to make me Jealous, will you not?" To be jealous is to be angry with God and man; to spread a funeral pall over the blue sky and the fair earth; to feed n fire that burns the heart away; to lire, but live in death. Jealousy is more bitter than death, it is'xtrong ns hell, and in­ cites man to quicker nnd more dreadful decdsrihan any other passion. Anice Pit­ cairn gave herself up to it: she never tried in the least degree to restrain it; she ask­ ed no help from heaven, no counsel from those ou earth, she let her soul drift down the tide of passion, and stretched out no hand for help. If she had been wise she would have absented herself during his visits: she would not have allowed bcr thoughts to rest on him, her mind to brood over him. , Instead of that, although every word he spoke to her sister was torture to her, she could not refrain from listening. Al­ though every loving gesture, every tender tyhisper was death to her, she watched them: ^he fed her owu bate: she gave up bcr whole soul to the tormentor. "Anice,” said I-ady Pitcairn one morn­ ing, “my dear, you must have change of nit. You arc looking very ill. iou are losing your beauty." “I am losing my life,” said the girl to herself, but she made no answer. She looked at her own face when she went to her mirror. It was changed—the* bright, proud beauty wax gone; there wn* the tra<*» <jf all-consuming passion, the I eyes told of many watches, the mouth of I long, bitter pain; yet she had neither the self-restraint nor control to trample her passion under her feet. There were times when I*ady Hilda, who saw more of her than any.one ejjie. felt quite frightened, when she wondered how it would end—when she wondered still more that the other members of the household did not see the dangers she saw. Khe wondered why that altered face and changed manner did nor attract more attention. Eril or death must come of it, she felt assured. Then Cecile joined them, and some time afterward Anice heard him ring­ Hilda saw what no one else saw—that the mind of the beautiful, passionate woman who loved so well and so unhappily, was Aa cleft* between the cloud* of June." i fast losing its strength, and still no one “That is Cadle,” she said to hetydf. perceived the coming shadow.

One morning, i! was neatly the end of January then—Sir Leofrie went over to Brankxomc Park earlier than usual. Lady Pitcolni was tired: had-not come down to breakfast. Sir Peter, after partaking amply of every recherche dish on tho ta­ ble. hnd retired to his study, ostensibly to read tho paiw-r*. in reality to sleep: Anice and Lady Hilda were busy over some point lace—Codie hadJaughingly aedtaed to join them.

"Anice,’ he said, "I leave my darling in your care. I shall be here again to­ morrow evening. You will be very kind to her, Anice. Take her out: do not let her stop indoors." he continued, ns they walked away together to the door. "Oh, Anice, there is one thing I must not for­ get: if you go t<> Izidydeep Pool to skate, pray remember that the part wo call Pretty Bay is not safe: the ice is thin there and cracking: one of the keepers met me this morning and told me. You wifi warn Cecile?" "Yes. I will warn her." was the quirt reply: "I will tell her that she must not go near Pretty Bay." He touched her hand in farewell, nnd the next minute he was gone. Lady Hilda It seemed to Anire Pitcairn all that day and night, that wherever she looked she “If rite lay under the ice dead, he would Ire free to marry you.” Mocking faces floated before her. and each mouth opened with those worda: mocking voices sounded in her ears: worn, tired and exhausted, she lay down to sleejr, the faces came nearer to her and laughed in tieiidish glee. It was so cold, so silent under the ice, and never once did the beau­ tiful, miserable girl rise and fling herself on her knees, praying heaven to help her, and drive nil the black temptations away. Never once, but when the morning sun shone in her room, she ruse with fell in­ tent. fell purpose in her heart that was to be accomplished before that same sun set. CBAETKU XVI. The following morning was bright, cold, and dear. Cedle’s first thought on wak­ ing was that Leofrlc would be horn** that day. and her heart grew warm with a sense of delight. He had only been abirenl-a few hour*, yet she missed him *o keenl?. Hr was to Im* houre to-day. She went downstairs with a bright smile on her face.

The white fingerx tightened their clasp on Cecile's arm, the lurid fire in the dark eye* deepened. Anice bent her head and whispered: "Shall we go to Ladydeep Tool?" The flame of her breath burned the fair, happy face as it touched it. "Yes. we yill go there—but why do you whisper, Amec?" "I do* not want any one to hear me. I thought we would have this one morning together." "So *.vc will, Anice; but there is no one to hear us." "Walls have ears, they say.

C—•—— "We want to skate.” laughed helpless Cecile. “I will not tell her.” Cecile sat down to her breakfast. It was Lady Pitcairn who noticed that ~uice had nothing on her plate, and had not even touched her coffee. She was full of anxious Inquiries—A nice must be Hl or overtired—why did she not eat or drink? Her ryes were too bright, her hands hot —it was time she took care of herself. Anice sat and listened the whole time her mother spoke; curiously enough between h«r aentaAcea were tho words; had a setiMtiop on hand—that Anice was right enough. While Anice went to. her room and imt.

"The fresh air will do me good—it always does; do not let us waste the morning in talk­ ing about it." ’ Cecile said no more; she could hardly explain, even »n herself, the fear and pre­ sentiment that came over her, thr dread she had of going out with Anice. the long­ ing to »tay at home. Still her sister seem­ ed bent on tt. and she would not disap­ point ter: she would go <ju, and then AnIre would hare no canse of complaint. They need not stay out very'long and Im*ofrlc was coming back to-night. They went out together; neither Lady Pitcairn nor Sir Peter saw them; they crossed the park. A Htfle further, end there lay the pooh a mxM of glittering ice, so.daxzling one could hardly look at it. . "How besutiful," cried Cecile. "Look how the sunbeam* lie on it.” Walking slowly past them was the gar­ dener who had charge of the pool and the boat house. He touched hl* cap as the ladies passed on. "Cecile," cried Anice suddenly, "xend Thwaites to the house, and tell him to ask tor your fur mantle, you look cold." "Bui I do not want my fur mantle, Anice," said the young girl.

Wheels arc fin­ ished with silver' and gold-plated fili­ gree work, which is pretty to sec, but a great deal of trouble to keep clean. A method of nickeling wood, which may eventually prove useful in finishing Wooden handle bars and rims, has been jdevised by a German chemist, the wood being covered by a thin coating of fietal by either a dry or wet process. The latest bicycle support consists of an arm, one end of which clamps onto the lower brace of the frame in front of f he cranks, the other end rest­ ing on tfi>gxxiuu4: When, not in use it lieft parallel with the lower brace. ’A bicycle crate which folds up has recently been patented. It is made of -wood nnd steel, and occupies a space not over five inches high when folded. It Ir claimed that it can be set up and a Wheel packed in it in five minutes. A new bicycle tire has on its interior a number of rubber rings fastened to a frtrip of metal running through their Center, the whole being surrounded by ^flexible cover. Between the two thick­ nesses on the running side of the tire pre placed short strips of metal, held |n place by a textile strip cemented over them. Another recent patent in tires consists of filling the inside with cork, nr well as inflating it with air. FASHION'S FRILLS.

They killed eight men who wore working thure, and took aixteea women off to ti-c vessel with them. A Cuban force near by sta­ tioned thetiiMdves at a narrow par.' of the river, and a» the vessel came down nourr I in a hot fire, killing the pilot, second offi­ cer and several me'u on the upper decks. The vesiel drifteil on a sandbar in iliori rang", where she remained till fate al night. The Cubans ailacked tier in bolts, but haring ouly. four, the vesael’s crew easily repulsed them.

Little doubt is expressed in Washing­ ton that the President’s demand on Spain for indemnity for tin* murder of Dr. Huis will meet with prompt rompliance. It is Spain's game to keep on the most excel­ lent terms with, this Government. Her sole purpose, of coarse. Is the hope at demonstrating so clearly tiiat.ehc wishes to do tbe proper thing, as to soften th? charges of extreme cruelty on the |>art of Wcyier made by thr other side. Rumor jM-raists thnt the Provident will follow the Ruiz note with a vigorous our for stop­ ping the Cuban war. The cabinet official quoted the other day. says that now, as then, the President contemplates doing nothing to disturb the business interests of this country until the remotest ;»oss:bility of diplomatic negotiation shall have been exhaustctl. It takes n long time to exhaust diplomatic negotiation. And in the present instance it is likely to l»c long­ er than usual, because tbe President in­ tends to carry ton such negotiations through a new- tuisirter to Spain, and thnt official has not yet been nominated. So that a month, nt least, is pretty certain to elapw* before the hpw minister, who­ ever he may l»c. will reach his post, and n couple of months more will undoubtedly follow ere the end of diplomatic negotia­ tion will be'reached.

In every neighborhood a good busi­ ness might be made if some one would tit a bed nnd grow onion sets for sale to his Neighbors. Comparatively few farmers have the small onion bed that Is so convenient for the housewife to go to when she needs something more to supply the table properly with vege­ tables. Most farmers after a few trials find that the small onion bed costs more labor to weed it than will buy the onions It could grow. It Is not so where onion sets arc planted.

No green and growing thing is secure from its ravenous appetite. Some advise de­ stroying the worm by scattering pols-, oned bait over the ground.

Whatever is to be made known to the people of that which I shall have in hand will properly and necessarily come from the State De­ partment.

Mr. Cum­ ming* eailed attention with startling can­ dor to the lamentable weakness of this country in facilities for the repair of our ,battle ships. He said that whereas in the single port of Portsmouth. England, there were twenty-one stone dry dock* into which English abtps could be taken for re­ pairs, the entire equipment of the United States on the Atlantic coast wa* one tim­ ber dry dock, and that one so badly out of repair that it was useless, and that on the Pacific coast tjierc was a!«o but a single timber dry dock. Our deficiencies in this respect are due entirely to a difference of opinion between cilques of officers in the Novy Department, whose rivalries extend into almost every feature of our naval es­ tablishment and hart io thoroughly de­ moralised the nary as to make it a laugh­ ing stock among nations. One of these clique* is in favor of timber dry docks and ■ the other in favor of stone dry docks, and between the two we have practically nei­ ther.

An exciting debate marked the eonnideration of the wool schedule in the Senate Tuesday. It led to a warm personal ex­ change betwren Senators Carter of Mon­ tana and Foraker of Ohio on tbe one hand rind Mr. Allison of Iowa, in charge of tbe Lili, on the other. Mr. Foraker asserted that an agreement concerning rates an rertain wool* was being vio­ lated and that under snch circumstance* every Senn tot would he free to act for himself! Mr. Aliison declared ho could not be driven by threats. Mr. Carter, who had aroused the storm, endeavored to have the paragraph* relating io carpet wools go over, but Mr. Vest objreteil. Mr. Teller of Colorado also spoke against delay. As!de*frum this Interruption fair progress wa* made on the woo! schedule. The duty on tirst-cln»< wool was agree:! to nt .10 cents per-ponnd nnd on second<•!«** wool 1.1 cent*, which is between the House nnd Senate rates in each’ case. The rate* on third-class wools- went over. Most of the other amendment* related to the rla.*sHicnt;<»o of wool*. Mr. Jones of Arkansas «poke against the entire sched­ ule as severely oppressive on the con­ sumers of woolen goods. After a contest lasting all Wednes­ day the Senate completed the paragraphs of the wool schedule relating to raw wool and advanced into the feature* relating to manufactured woolen goods. Tlie day was devoted largely to a discussion of the effect, of tariff rates on the prire of w.00,« and tL* speeches wire on feennieai line? In the main. Mr. Quay made a strong effort to have the House nt! jrr’erra rates on third-class wool adopted, bat lie wax defeated—19 to 41. The committee rates were then agreed to. viz.. 4 cent* per pound on tblrd-claM wool valued at 19 cents or less per pound, nnd 7 cents per |>oui:d on third-class wool valued above 10 cent* per'pound.

The law of God nud-pf man says, a life for a life,” said I-sdy Hilda slowly. “A life for a life! Ah, dear heaven! how many lives have I given?” said Anice. with a woful sigh. "How many deaths have I died? Then you. whom my moth­ er rescued from death in the high roads, you would send me to a felon’s dock, to the scaffold, if you could!” “I do not say so. I am puzxlcd as to what I ought to do." Again tbe trembling hands grasped her. "You can do nothing—you have noth­ ing to do. 1 am only talking for argu­ ment's sake, to show you how wild your notions are. See to what you expose me if you ever give them to others. Prom­ ise me you never will—swear to me. Miss Dunn, you will ^tot. 1 shall not rest un­ less you swear!” "I cannot. I am sure I ought to tell some one. I am afraid wbat I think is true." • Anice flung herself back on her pillows with a gesture of despair. "Yon will not listen to me." she said. “You ar* bent on my destruction, nnd on your own. If you tell this foolish, this wicked story of me, who will believe you? I can bring heaven and earth to prove how false your words are. I can swear as sternly as you can. The world will have to judge be twees your won! and mine. I say that it wiil take mine." •Truth always prevails,” said Lady Hil­ dn slowly. "There Is no truth in this case to pre­ vail. It is mere suspicion without proof. I would defy you, dare you to say it open­ ly. but that 1 know some scandal must come of it. I cling to you. and pray you to keep silence over your suspicion, not because it is true, bnt because 1 know how cruel the world is. nnd if such things arc said of me, however false they may be, some one will believe them. I ask you solemnly, in the name of heaven, promi*1 me not to mention to any one living wbat yon have said to me.” Lady Hilda was silent for a few min­ utes. “I promise you,” ahe said, nt length, nnd, turning from the beautiful woman, she quitted the room. Days, works and months wore on. An­ ice recovered her health. Lady Pitcairn became more cheerful. Sir Pet<*r relapsed into hi* old sleepy slate and Cecile’s grave was cpye.rcd with grass. Then Sir ff^cofric returned. His great grief had changed him. then had worn itself away. People tried to console him: /hey told him he must not mourn all Ms life. that, although he hnd lost his dearest and best, others wore left. They aald It was a duty he owed to himself nnd bis po­ sition to marry. He believed them, ami Ins heart turned to Anice. Who so near and dear, to him as the sister of his dear, dead love? The day came when the very desire of her heart wits gratified, and Sir Leofric nuked her to be his wife. “I cannot give you. Anice. the same fer­ vent love I gave to Cecile.” he said; “but I will make you very happy.” So for the second time Str Leofric be­ came engaged. Lady Hilda beard the news with surprise that bordered on hor­ ror. She wont to Anice direct. "I* it true.” she said, “that you are going to marry-Sir Leofric?” "It is quite true.^was tbe brief reply. •Then it seems to me that the very henvens cry for vengeance. I. for one, Anice Pitcairn, will never stand by to see you married—it would be watching you put the seal upon your sin." "Cruel!” repeated Lady Pkcairu, sad­ ly. "It is the way of the world, wealth and title can always purchase beauty. ‘ barline—that is her name—Lurlin* al­ ways knew that she must marry the high­ est bidder, and he happened to be an old duke Instead of an old earl. Tbe duke and th* duch«*« are both in the north now,” continued Ixnly Pitcairn. “Every now and then the duke grows madly jealous of his child-wife, nnd whirls her away to Woodheaton Abbey, one of tbe -most gloomy in England. We will drive over to Lady Harvey's and ask her to write and mention yon." After a few days it was settled nnd every arrangement made. Miss Dunn was to leave Branksome for Woodheaton. She%ad received two or three letters from the duchess; kind, gracefully written, and full of kindly sentiment. The journey froifi Branksome to Woodheaton was a long and tiresome one. It was evening before Lady Hilda reached the little sta­ tion of Arlhnrn. A carriage awaited her from the Abbey. She bad expected some­ thing dreary, but she had never dream­ ed of the reality: yet the very dreariness had a beauty of its own. There wasbeauty In the weird silence that reigned over these great moors; in the great green expanse that in its undulation resembled a great green sea; there was beauty in the bloom of the heather, in the short grass, in the groups of trees that every now and then broke tbe monotony, in the vast expanse of bine sky. in the great stretwh of pnrple hills that lay behind tbe moors. A broad road shaded by trees wound tip to the Abbey. Lady Hilda looked st the scene'in wonder—tbe gray, frowning walla, covered with ivy, the huge towers, the green valley below, nnd the trees that seemed to be so curiously mixed with the walls and pillars. The great entrance gates swung open when the carriage stopped, nnd she found herself in n largo stone entrance hall with a superb' roof of'grained oak, a hall quite as large na any ordinary house; a pretty maid, neatly dressed, came up to her with a smiling courtesy. “Are you Miss Dunn?” she asked; nnd Lady Hilda's beautiful face flushed as she answered: ARREARS FOR TAXES.

RIGGS VILLE was very sorry, indeed, but it didn’t sec bow it was going to hare a Fourth of July cel­ ebration. Not that Griggsville wasn’t anxious to set off past the anatewt day of the year. Griggsville had thought it all over, remembering that crops were bad, that the times were hard and that taxes were high, and had oome to the conclusion that it would need a.l the money it could get for winter fuel and buckwheat flour and bacon. All of the older folk agreel with this de­ cision. not without many mournful shakes of the head, bnt the boys of Griggsville were much displeased. m “It’s what I call a burning shame." miffed Jack Morris when be heard the- “Yea." chimed in Ruddy Wilson, “Al­ den’s Milin nnd Norcross nnd Simpson’s Landing and nearly every town in tbe county is going to have a celebration. and •now Griggsville has barked out.” "Course all of our games are off," remnrk<Nl Dick Lansing, disconsolately; “no team will come here tn piny unless there ~4* something going on.” * Dick was rhe manager of the Griggs­ ville Baw-ball Club nod be felt the dis­ appointment deeply. For a moment all the boys were silent, as if the weight of the affliction was too gr.-nt for expression. Presently Will Spemw blurted out: “Let’s have a celebration anyway. I’ve got a few dollars I’ll put into it and we can get enough more among the l»oys to make something pf a show at least—and we’ll leave the old folks out of It. ton." "That’s all very well.” returned Dick, "btrt it’s easier said than done," and there the matter dropped. Tbe next day when the boys met at the ball field Will came rushing up the street, evidently much excited. As nmjq as he •• was within hearing he shouted: "“I’ve got it, fellows. I’ve got it." out with it. old man; don’t keep ■ os Tn suspense,” replied Dick, who didn’t think much of Will’s many plans. For Will had only lived in Griggsville a jdtor. time and Dick was a little* jealous of h:> popularity. As soon as Will recovered bis breath b. enfolded his whom*?*. It was to go down to Sullinger’* Hole nnd find the cannon And muskets that were supposed to lie hid­ den in its depths. During the war the part of Missouri in which Griggsville :« located had been overrun by roving brfntL. <_f marauder*, belonging to both the Con­ federate and Union nnpiea, and it was on one of these raids that'jthe Southerner* bad pounced down upon a quantity of stores and ammunition bold at Griggsville and. being unable to get entirely away with their plunder, they bad dropped tt i»to Sullinger’s Hole. AU thia had been long known to the noys of Griggsville, -whose father* and mothers often told of the wild day of the raid, and pointed out -the bullet-furrows in their bomr*. And tUey knew, toj, all about Sullinger’s Hole. It wa* said no one bad ever found bottom, although more than one of the men of Grigg»vif!<? had sounded the pool. The earliest net tiers in tbe county bad ■coiled it tbe “baunAed pool." but ev.-r rince old mnn KuIMnger had scoffed at the idea and had gone bathing in its waters, sever to return, it had been known a* SulUnger's Hole. All these, things the boys knew, and it was. therefore, not at all wurprising that Ruddy Wilson shrugged k.ji shoulders and laughed when WiK jnsdc the suggestion. “None of that for me." he sold.. “Oh, well, you needn’t go along unless •you want to,” responded Will, impatient­ ly. “Ail this talk about Mulhnger'* Hole being fissured !* frisbees*.’’ WjU was very mu<4i CXcoted, and several of tbe boy* at once grew interested. “I’d Leip.’’ said Dick lAinring. "if I was •ire there was any way of doing it.” -AU right, Didi, well show ’em." put in WiM, whose eyss fairly gx>wed wkh «x■etemwxt. “We’ll have the oW gun* »U op here by rhe Foxrtb and it will be a csiebratiem worth seeing." Wbeu Dick went over. all of the doubters except Ruddy tv ent with him. That night and the next cvriUng they dragged or rolled a number of big dry logs aud poles down to the edge of the pod. These they cut off into equal length* and fastened together iu the furtn of a huge raft, that would support a dozen or more boys. As early on tbe afternoon of the third day ns possible the seven slid quietly out of the town aud down the hill to the ikjoI. Thry carried with them ropes and a crowbar'of J wo and a number of long poles cwt in the.woods, besides ham­ mers and nails and other implements. On reaching the shoreof the pool they mount-, ed the raft and-pushed it out. Once out on the poyMney poled themselves along until r^jcy were about twenty feet from the riiore. One of the ropes with n big iron hook on the end was let down in tbe water and dragged back and forth. As long as there was light they poled about the edges of the pond with their drags, but with the exception of snug* nnd weeds and mud they could find nothing at all. After two more discouraging afternoon* of work "Ixink" Everson snid he wasn't going to waste any more of bls time. Three of rhe boys agreed with him. hut Will Spencer was able to persuade Dick and Jack to make one more trial. .The Aext night Will wns handling the drag rope. Suddenly it began to pull, nnd, assisted by Jack.* he drew it carefully in. At the end was n mass of snag*. “What’s that Y’ shouted Dick, suddenly. Will pulled the rope nearer and Jack lifted cut a long, narrow object. It was a gun barrel, rusted beyond recognition. Forgetting that he was on n raft. Will threw up bis cap and shouted at the top of his voice: “We’ve found ’rm! We’ve fonnd ’em!" But although they dragged an bout they could bring up nothing else. "I don’t see how we can ever get :be things up even if they are there," said Dick. “Dive.” answered Will. Quietly. The ether two boys looked at him with horror. But when they parted for the night Will hod expressed his firm inten­ tion of diving to the bottom to see if be could find the cannon. And rhe next day all seven of the boys came back very much excited. Tlie finding of the gun barrel had reassured them. Carefully they poled out so as not to make the water muddy, nnd then Will stripped and stood poised for a moment on the edge of the raft. Dick had insisted that he tie a rope around him. The word was given, nnd. w4tu a look at the blue sky above. Will splashed head-first into the Sullinger’s Hole. They saw hi* white body go down am, down through the water and then fade but of •A HUNDRED WILLING Cheer fbr tbe Flag, On the Poartb of July long ago.

Somehow, in spite uf all the boy* could do. the news spread about like wildfire, * and every one in town rame out to sec I what Sullinger’* Hole had given up to the ' light <»f day. A hundred willing hands dragged the old cannon to the top of the bluff, and ou Fourth of July morning it was loaded with powder—but that is get­ ting ahead of the story.

And on the rooming of Hie great day Griggsville wa* out in her be-rt wifh flags waving aud firecrack­ ers popping and anvils booming.

Tlie Sons of the American Revolution addressed the town clerk* in Massachu­ setts, asking that they endeavor to bring about a fitting and universal <il>servaii<-e of the Fourth of July. "What!" every boy will exclaim, "do we not now observe that day? I»oe* not all our spending money go for firecracker* and rockets and lemonade?" Yes. yon do kwp the day with as much anise Welmtcr suggested, in the “sup­ posed si>eech of Jahn Adams." But do you observe it? The Fourth of July was at first observed ns the anniversary of the day when tlie throwing off of the “British yoke” began. But the nation is now a hundred and twenty years old. Wo have outgrown our fear and our ha­ tred of Great Britain. Now it is time to cease regnraiDg the Fourth as “IndrpendeniT Day” merely, to forget all the suggwtioas of England that tbe anniversary brings to mind, and to treat it a* the na­ tion’s birthday, in the broadest sense. That means that it should call up be­ fore u* nil the glories of America, not simply the heroism of ’70 nnd ’61, but^ the conquest of the soil of -the great West, the tririmphs of industry and invention, the vietoriWFUT location, art and culture, rhe spread of religion. These things can­ not Ik- adequately commemorated by burn­ ing pmpowder. We do not go so far as oven to suggest that the firecracker be abolished. Yet while we ring the bells, nnd fire the cannon and flaunt the flag, let us all re­ member that the day I* a solemn as well ns a joyous occasion, and observe as well as celebrate it.

The entire community was saddened Monday mornjng upon receipt of news of tbe'sudden death of Mrs. A. A’ IjeHeck, which occurred that morning at St. Mary’s hospital at De­ troit. Mrs. Selleck had been ailing for some time, and while in Pontiac visiting her daughter, Mrs. George Bell, decided to go to Detroit and con­ sult physicians there about her condi­ tion. An operation for tumor was finally decided upon and was attempt­ ed on Wednesday of last week, but the tumor was found in such condition that its removal was impossible, and tb<j.physicians could give no hopes of her recovery, though they stated that it might be possible for her to live sev­ eral weeks. Her weakened condition, however, combined with the terrible hot weather, resulted in her death on Monday morning at about nine o’clock.

You overwork occasionally, do you not? Perhaps you do it habitually; but whether occasionally or constant­ ly, you know that overwork debilitates and opens tbe way of the atttacks of disease. Thousands of men die from overwork, says an exchange. Well what is true about men is true about horses. We cannot overwork horses without danger. Tbe number killed by bard work is very large. Outside of humane consideration altogether, it may be said that a man who kills or Injures his horse usually does a very foollvh thing. The excuse for overworking our horses is, that the work must be done. There is no must about it. If a man kills a hundreddollar horse in doing a hundred dol­ lar job he Is nothing ahead—not a cent. If he kills such a horse in do­ ing fifty dollar’s worth of work he is just fifty dollars behind. If he would be a little more particular in estimat­ ing the results of such sacliflees ne would less often make them.

Shortly before midnight April G Inst the vault in the office of Secretary Butter­ field of the Agricultural College at Lan­ sing was blown ojk-u nnd $2,300 in col­ lege and postoffice fund* was stolen. A stispiciouH feature of the robbery was that there was nothing to indlcnte that the -vault bad been drilled, a fact which con­ vinced the detectives tin- work was done by persons who knew the combination of the mult, and that the money was taken before the rxpkndon took place, dynamite being used by lhe robbers for the pur­ pose of-coreriug their tracks. Several weeks of patient work on tne part of Postoffice Inspector Larmour and Deputy United States Marshal Abels failed io unravel the mystery, and the in­ vestigation wns nlMMit to Im- nbandonc® when the pnrehnse of a diamond ring, n gold watch and a bicycle by Clinton D. Butterfield, n member of the graduating class and the son of the secretary, caused thv detectives to turn their attention to him. After ascertaining where he had ex­ pended more than $40(1 since the robber)-, the detectives put him through a severe examination, which -yielded sufficient in­ formation to warrant them in arresting G. Devere Miller, a sophomore, son of Dr. Carroll E. Miller of Cadillac. When the boys were brought together Miller made a dean breast of the matter nnd Butterfield indorsed his story. The two boys had committed the rob­ bery, Butterfield unlocking the vault, be­ ing familiar with the combination and having a key to the inside door. They pried open the drawers with a jimmy and secured the money. This’done,'Butter­ field left the remainder of the job to Mil­ ler, who hafl purchased a’stick’of dyna­ mite and a fuse in Grand Rapids on bis return from his spring vacation. Miller placed the dynamite on the crow­ bar of the inner door nnd mu the fuse out into th? office door. He then closed and locked the door and applied the match. He left the building by a window because the door squeaked, and was in bed when the fire reached the dynamite. Tbe.explosion blew tbe door off and wrecked the office badly.

Perhaps in no ease u yet recorded luuj the efficiency of a popular remedy been found so clearly as in that of Mrs. Nora E. Hill. While her condition, caused’ by a frightful the pale of perfect recovery, she has received such marked relief that the story of the ac­ cident and the sufferings resulting from it, will be of more than ordinary interest to thousands of invalids. Mrs. Nora E. Hill, before September 1883, waa a hale, hearty and strong woman, post the middle age of life. She tells the following story: '‘September 1, 1801, while attending to my duties about the house, a gasoline stove which I had used for some time, suddenly exploded, throwing the burning fluid over me. Before my clothes which were on fire eould be torn off, my right arm and hand were fearfully burned. This however, was not my most aeriww iqjtiry, as I had inhaled some of the flames, and I found the inside of my mouth blistered. My hand and arm to the elbow were burned to the bone, and my physician believed amputation necessary, nut after weeks of great suffering, I waa spared the operation, and I have fairly good uv of my hand nnd arm now. “Shortly after the proeww of healing of arm and nand, mv stomach commenced to rive me trouble. I did not then realize what it meant. After each meal I was seized with a cramping sensation, and then in a few days there were frightful pains, which threw me into clammy perspiratiou. For right month. I was under the care of my physician, battling hard with death. I had lost 93 pounds, was becoming a mere skele­ ton, my appetite was gone, and my nervous system completely shattered. “I loot confidence in everything, was totally discouraged, and determined to go to my former home, Grand Rapids, Michigan, and have my old physician make an exami­ nation of my condition. He did so and found that gastric ulcers of the stomach had formed, which he said were incurable, and were liable to produce cancer at any time. While in Grand Rapids the ulcer, which hod formed in the stomach broke, which prod need vomiting of large quantities of blood and pus. This confined me to a sick lied for several weeks. When I became sufficiently strong to pet up I came back here to die, as xnc doctor told me 1 might last one week, possibly one mouth. But I determined to make as strong a fight as 1 could, and get all the medical aid there waa in Chicago. “I was taken before n claas of one of the most noted and celebrated medical colleges here for examination. This examination proved what my physician in Grand Rapid, told me viz, that there were gastric ulcers ot the stomach. The opinion of the college physicians was that my chances of a cure were not one iu one thousand. Thia was in May 18M: in June I was taken down with gastric fever, caused by fresh ulcers forming, and I lay in bed nine weeks. From June to September in that year 1 also suffered ad­ ditionally from thirty alwcesses forming on my arms ami shoulders, produced by the con­ dition of the stomach and blood circulation. After this I got a little better, and this im­ provement lasted during the foil and winter till January 1895, when I had another siege of gastric fever. I took a great many drugs |nd opiates under tbe physicians directions The during all this time, which had tbe effect ofcompirtcly upsetting my stomach and nerv­ ous system. . “From January to July 1805, I suffered frightful agonies, resulting from the trouble “A year ago last October I commenced take Dr. William.' Pink Pills for Pate People. After I hnd taken two boxen they broke the giutric fever and enabled me to get up. I found also that they gave ms strength, and mv-appetite came back. I found that I could digest the food I ate, and 1 became lens nervous; in fset my general condition improved very much. "The following March (in 1898) I was again troubled with the abweasea, but to a much less drarce than formerly. This was due to the efficiency of tbe pill', which un­ doubtedly had brought my blood to a muab better condition. I want to explain here task . the doctors said that the cause of the appear­ ance of abaccascs was due to the ulcerated condition of the stomach, which vitiated tbe . blood through my entire system. ?The pills have allayed my nervoumam, they are putting my blood into better eoadi tion, they have cleared my brain, and have given me an appetite which I can gratify by eating light food without causing the terriUa pain whkh formerly almost drove me inane. The pills are doing for me more than any mrdieal aid I have ever received, and they have stopped my auffepsg to a very gnat extent I do. not think nor do I expect that they will eure me, because all physicians •re agrrctl wbo have examined me that it ia impoasiblc. Past experience however has shown me that they will to a great extent make my life bearable. This I believe ia doing wonders, and I feel that if they have done this much for me, there must )>e many people who arc suffering whom they can surely cure. *' I was bora and raised in Michigan, and came Io Chicago some ten yean ago.

Two trolley cars were'held up Thursday night and crews and passen«v«» robbed of their’valuables. In out* ago; but nothing was thought “f tuut. When the postal express from Boston’ ran into a heap of tic* and damaged ti»e engine, the railroad company put a paprol on the track. For two nights the trains were not disturbed. Then, five' consecu­ tive attempts were made to wreck trains on the road. Hud It not been for the barking of a dog that the girl had with her, it is doubtful whether the Sheriff-s ■men would -bare caught her. The girl was suspected of the attempted crime from being seen near the trucks at a late hoar on the night after tbe postal. train so nearly came to grief. A w-atch was put on her. and she was captured after a freight tiain bnd just crashed* over ° crosstie which she hud placed on the track. The girl, who Is of rather light complexion and decidedly attractive^ ap­ pearance, is presumably insane. When she was taken to the Washington County jail, in Kingston, she still refused to talk, beyond saying thjyt she is 10 years of age. She also refused to eat. and at­ tempted to escnjH! whenever a chance of­ fered. Since tbe girl's arrest it Uns been learned that her father, who works ns a laborer.

The Senate' dl*|>o*ed of two tariff amendments Monday, that placing a stamp tax being agreed to with little rir no opposition and without tbe formality of a vote, while the Sixxmer amendment, propo«lng a tariff invcKtipntion. was with­ drawn after a protracted struggle. The stamp nmemlmenL a« agreed to. fixe* the following rates on bonds, etc.: “Bands, debenture* or certificates of indebtedness Issued after Sept. 15. 1897. by any asso­ ciation. company or corporation, on each 8100 of fate value, or fraction thereof, 5 cents; nnd on each original issue, whether nn organization or reorganization of cer­ tificate* of stock by nay such associa­ tion. company or corporation, on each 8100 of face value or fraction thereof. 5 cent*: and on all transfer* of shares or certifies tea of stock in any association, company or corporation, on each fllOO of face valne or fraction thereof, 2 cents." Exemption* from the stamp taxes .ire made in (he case of State, coun­ ty and municipal liond*. and the stock* nnd bonds of co-operative building asso­ ciations. Tuesday the Senate agreed tn devote one more day to discussion of the tariff under the five-minute rule, nnd then pro­ ceed to vote. The beet sugar bounty clause wn* withdrawn.

The tariff bill passed the Senate Wednesday morning by n vote of 38 to 28. The day wus spent In amendments of inin »r Importance. Following tbe pas­ sage of the bill, a resolution was agreed to asking the Hofi*e for n conference, nnd Senator* Allison, Aldrich. Piatt of ConncctiimL Burrows. Jones of Nevada.

The session of the Senate Thursday wns nn**ventful. the deficiency appropria­ tion bill being consideri'd throughout the dny. Among it* provisions is one accept­ ing the invitation of France to partici­ pate in (he Paris exposition of 1900. The bill was rot completed up to the time of adjournment. Au effort to have several claim* added to tbe bill led to a debate on the propriety of paying Government claim*, the general sentiment being (hat a bill covering all claim* should be brought in at the next session*of Con,gn*s*. A resolution requesting the Presi­ dent to demand of Siiain the release of Ona Melton, one of lhe Competitor pris­ oners, was referred to the Committee on Foreign Relation*. A new committee amendment was agreed to appropriating 86,000 in Hill indemnity to the heirs of three Italians lynched in Louisiana in IStfc, n» was also one appropriating to the widow of the late Representative Cooke of Illinois 8&>000. The House sent the tariff bill to conference. Chairman Dingley, Paine of New York, Dalzell of Pennsylvania. Hopkins of Illinois and G osvenor of Ohio.

Th* first iDstaiiment of fisttw* was the Earl of Dunhaven; I^tdy 8tsnn. a beautiful young widow; Captain Ver­ non. the heir presumptive to an earldom: Loril and I^uly Alcastrr—a well-refected party, with every element of enjoyment. Ten days paui<*d like short, bright drraxUB. They all met at breakfast: then the duke went out in a closed carriage, not asking bis wife to go withvhim now. She rode, drove or walked with tbe oth­ ers. but it always happened that her companion wns lx>rd Dunhaven. He Mid she did not ride well, nnd he must give her some lesson*; *0 that three or four morn­ ings each week they would* start off to gallop through the green lanes round Fernhurst. They were fatally sweet, those hours spent in the summer sunshine— fatally sweet. They, were both so sure of them­ selves, so sure of their good intention*, so safe In tbe pretty picture of brotherly love, thM they did not take even com­ mon precautions; never did two people glide more calmly, more innocently, down the hill that loads Jo nite, then they. They were both so happy. *0 bright, so evidently p!rn»ed with each other’s so­ ciety that It seemed by genera! consent that they were left much together. When they drove out it wn* Ix>rd Dunhaven who drove the duche**’ ihiuIch; if they rode, he was her cavalier; if they walked he waa^by her side; if they spent any time indoors, be never left her. No one ever made any remark* about it; it seem­ ed by general vonscnl that together they must be. So fnr, all was good nnd right; neither had the least thought of going ‘wrong; they would have shrunk with hor­ ror from such a notion. “I canUot re.ineniber a *umtner like thi*," said tbe duebe** one morning. She was with Lord Dunhaven and laidy Hil­ da; they were walking’tifrough the rose­ gardens, for it was her grace’s whim that morning to gather flowers. She looked at the tori as she s;>oke. “The *un has been brighter aud the rose* sweeter this year tlyin ever." He beut bis head over her. "it is not that," he said. "This summrr seemed more beautiful to you, be­ cause I niu with you.” Lady Hilda hoard the words; they pierc«i her heart. She made way that they should pass her. She said to herself bit(erlj that it whs the old Story. For them the sunlight and the roses; for her al­ ways and ever, u thorn In her heart. Even though she lingered bt-lMnd them, she could not help bearing' his words. “I have always thought," ho *aid, “that the presence of the ono we esteem makes our heaven on earth.” ■ “How many heavens have you found below?" asked the duchess. "Thia is my first,” be answered; “and I am quite sure it will Is- my last.” Again his beautiful, unhappy wife, bearing the words, felt how cruel was her fate, that this love *0 true, so devoted, jrare. generous and noble, had nut been given to her. "How many more such summers shall we see?" asked the duchess, nnd there was something of aadnes* in the laughing voice.' "How many?" he repented. "Who shall say? If we live for fifty summer*, then we shall have fifty more. One thing is quite certain, that so long as I live and you live. Duchess Lurline, our summers will be spent together." “And that will make their beauty," she said. "Ye*, thnt will make their beauty,” re­ plied Lord Dunhaven. Aud the wife to- whom he bad never said one loviifg word turned away, be­ cause she could bcir to hear up more. no that one !i;ht touch of m'.ne'might de­ “That i« HI QHAPTBR XXII.-(Continued.) sitting. Her heart beat, «ud her face grew deadly white. If be knew—If he only knew! He, with the chivalrous coirtesy natural to him. took his scat by her in," -he said.’ “You must have felt it a privation to be unable to leave the house.” If the whole world had been* given to her, she rotdd not have answered him; she dare not even turn her fdee to him, lest he should* read tbe distress there. He thought thnt she was shy, and won­ dered that so beautiful a woman—one. too, who must be well accustomed to tbe world—shutild be shy. He resolved to try some other line. "Do you admire Madame Antoline, Miss Dunn?" he asked. She fnreed her­ self to answer him; but It seemed to her that her lips ha'd grown, stiff and cold— they would not open; the voice that came through them was unlike her own. “You will laugh nt me as fanciful," he •aid; "but yorfr face seemed so familiar to me the first moment I saw it to-night.” "Did) It?" she asked, praying heaven he might not see the quiver that passed “Yes. but the fancy has gone now. Yet hi my life. 1 feel sure that I have come •cross a face like yours; but----- ” then he paused for'half a minute—“but." he add­ ed, "1 know you will not think me rude —it was a face without thnt little crimShe trieil to laugh as. she looked up at him. "Then it was not mine?” she said. And he laughingly answered^ “No, mcit certainly It was not yours." CHAPTER XXIII. Lady Hilda never remembered how * *he reached home; fiow thftt interview ended; how she recovered her relf-poMerelbn, and talked to the duchess and her bus­ band. She’ did not «<fem to regain pos­ session of her sense* until she wan in tbe carriage with the duchess, going home. When they reached home, the duchess looked curiously, in Lady. Hilda’s wbfte face. “Miss Dunn, you have overtireil your•elf," ahe said. “Now, :i *t another word until you have rested. We will go to your room. What do you think of Lord Dunhaven? By the way, how strange it •wins that the first part uf his name should be so like yours." “1 saw him for but so short a time. I . cannot judge.” said Lady Hilda, faintly. "I judged when I had only seen him for five minutes,” cried the duchess. said to myself, then, that he wns the handsomest and noblest man in tbe •world." “I quite agree with-you. I think few men arc equal to Lord Dunhaven. I should imagine thnt he Is a mnn who will leave his mark on the age. Does he in­ terest himself in politic*?" “I think he intend* doing so. He told me once that bi* life had been shadowed by a great sorrow, but that he intend* to forget that sorrow and throw hi* whole heart and soul into* work. I am going to be his friend and help him. He is mar­ ried; he has never said so. Imt I believe that in the shadow thnt lies over his life.." She did notice the sudden .pallor that came over t£e beautiful face. She went on: "I feel quits swsetffyself that it in so. I wa« talking to Lady HiUerton the other day about it, und «he raid ttiat there was something very queer about Lprd Dunhaven’s wife. The real truth, that which people believe to be the solution of the mystery, is this—that Lady Dunhaven is Id some insane asylum abroad. That ex­ plains everything. It i* not likely, in that case, he would ever care to speak about her.” Lady Hilda was silent—her burning in­ dignation prevented her from shaking. absence. It was some minutes before she could speak, then she asked: "Who is it tells this story—Lord Dunhaveffl’* "No," cried the duchess. eagerly, "he has never named her. It was Lady Dan-1 who hinted it to Lady Hillerton. She did not say it in so many words, but shu hinted at Jt. I think it is true.” "Poor wife." said Lady Hilda, in a tone of profound pity. "Yes, it is sad for her, but it is more sad for him. Mamie. 1 shall always be his friend, and try to make it up to him." She looked ns serenely unconscious of all danger as a child who longs for the scarlet fruit, whose seeds are death. Lady Hilda knew that she was dead to Lord Dtrabavcn fur all time; that no chance’bf winning his love would ever be hers. She knew that he had once pro­ nounced her unattractive, had said she would never win any man’s Jove—thnt now all his admiration wns given to the .duchess. Yet, woman-iike. the studied how to look her best. A beautiful dress ;of pale gray silk and velvet, fitting her exquisite figure to perfection; a scarlet flower in her brenst. and one iu her hair; then she went down to m-c her husband, who did not know her as his wife. She asked herself as she went down the great marble staircase whether she­ ws* In a dream or whether it was possible that the Lady. Dunhaven was going to meet her busband. . She heard tbe musical sound of his laughter as she opened the door; he was talking to the duke, and 4he duchess sat near them. Khc saw the start of adniiration that he could not repress when his eyrs tell upon her. He bowed, placed a chair for her near the duchess nnd re­ sumed bis conversation with tbe duke. During luncheon it was decided that the duchess should give her first ball, and her delight knew mi bound*. The duke seemed only too happy to leave all tbe trouble to Lord Dunba ven’s hands. cd for onee to have borrowed the warmth windows were open; the sunbeam* came pouring In; the western wind was filled with the sweet odor of mignonette. turnlux their most common wonb to po­ etry.

"I am thinking of my life,” said the carl, “wondering if there ha* been say poetry In it." "Tell us about it.” said the dschcs*. “and we will decide." "I was sent to Eton and to Oxford. I made tbe grand tour. Then the earl died, the jioor old earl, and I took hi* place. There to no poetry yet." . "None.” aald tbe duchess. “But then," he raid, “there came—well, not poetry, but a little «omance—I cannot tell you what it was. nor ought I per­ haps to call it a romance, for the heroine had no romance in her." • “Was it lore?" cried the young duch- “No.” he answered, gravely, "it was not love, but It should have been; out of it grew a great sorrow—a sorrow thnt clouds my life, that makes me desolate, my fireside lonely, my home forsaken." His voice died away as though the words pained him. Lady Hilda’s face had grown very pale. "But this sorrow," she said; “did it come from your own wrong-doing?" “Not quite. At first it came from the injustice and stupidity of others; then in my turn I won hard and coH.” "I like to hear the different experi­ ences of life,” she said. “Tell me, Ix>rd . Dunhaven. over this romance of yours have you ever regretted the way in which you acted, let tbe way have been what it might r He looked at her with -a frank, sad smile. , “Yes," he said; "most certainly. I have regretted it. not once, but a thousand times; were the time to o>bc over^again, I would, heaven helping me, do quite dif­ ferently.” And he wondered why she raised her face to the skies, with the rapt expression ef one who thanks heaven for a great gift. CHAPTER XXIV. AU <lny loxfg the sound of those words dwelt in Lady Hilda's” heart like the sound of sweetest music. He regretted it, hi- was sorry for his hardness to her, fur bin cruel coldness; he repented of what he hud said about her: if the time wen- to come over again he would change It all. In the midst of her pain, the words came to her like a heavenly charm—be was sorry; she bad never dreamed of com­ fort like thia. The ball was a brilliant one; quite early tbe rooms were filled with a brilliant crowd. But among a|’. the lovely Indies present, there wns not one to vie with the duchess ami Lady Hilda. Lord Dunhaven was one of the first arrivals; the duke appeared in the ball room for half an hour, then thankfully made his escape. Lord Dunhaven waltzed once with the dnchesB. then she looked at him with laughing eyes. we must not dan.ee together all night, mnn ami. This is iny ball, nnd I have to please ever so many tiresome partners." "I will obey to the letter every wish you utter, duchess." he said. “I will not ask yon again, but I will not dance with any one else afteF you." Her eyes wandered round tbe room— they brightened suddenly. "I will tell you what would please me,” she said. “Ask Miss Dunn to dance; docs she not look beautiful?" “Beautiful, indeed," he replied. “She has but one fault and that is she is notyou. Give me the sweetest flower in your bouquet before I go." ‘ And then bo went to Miss Dunn. She was sitting near a group of crim­ son camillla*. and they formed a back­ ground to the loveliest picture in the ball room. She held a jeweled fan In her hand, which .jested against her white breast. She was buried in thought and started when ho spoke to her. "How beautiful she is." he thought. “If I had never seen the Duchess of Nairn. I should say she was the loveliest woman in tbe world. Miss Dunn," he said. "I have come to ask the favor of one waltz with yon." Lady Hilda owned to herself afterward that she had done an unfortunate thing iu allowing herself thnt one dance with her husband. It had aroused all the pas­ sion and tenderness of her heart and love, it had aroused the jealousy that wns never to sleep again, the passion that knew-no rest. She found herself watch­ ing with a fire of anxiety for bis coming, listening for his voice, counting the hoursthat must pass before he came; then jvhen he came, flying from him with shy eyes aud a flushed face. The spring and summer months had weU;iiigh passed. There had never been known a season so brilliant or so prolong­ ed. Certainly the Duchess of Nairn had been Its most brilliant ornament, and the world had been equally delighted with her friend. Miss Dunn. They were always iuvltcji together: and as a rule Laly Hil­ da wn* considered the more beautiful of the two. Lord Dunhaven had more than once expressed his wonder that Mis* Dunn had remained nnwon. He had grown to ndtulre her very much; her beautiful, no­ ble face: her queenly bearing; her sweet aud gentle wisdom: her noble thoughts and Ideas; bur wonderful powers of con­ versation; her gifts of mind and in’tcllect won hi* profound admiration. ’’Miss Dunn,” he said one day, “I can­ not toll why it is; but my heart and soul seem to turn with such confidence to you. I should like to tell you the story of my marriage.” "Of your marriage?" she said, "Did you love yonr wife?" "No, I did not.” he answered. No momeat of peace came to Lady Hi!da. either by night or by day. It wns her fault—all her fault. She could *ec it plainly now that it wns too late—she ought not to have left him; she should have been more patient: and just becauso it was her fault, it seemed to her that she r.iuw do all she could. It was not easy. When the sun shone on the roses and the lovely laughing worlA seemed to unite them, when Lord Dunhaven would say. "Duchess Luriine. come and see the roses," or. “Duchess Lurline, if you will find a scat under the cellar I will read to you." it wns not easy then to intrude herself, to nsk if she too might listener he were going to reml. She could do it some­ times. not often: out it made no differouev. T«ord Dunhaven never said to himself thnt he wanted to talk to the duchess about his affection for her; he did'noi pur­ posely seek for long tete-o-tetes with her. He was so secure in himself, in his good intentions, that he said a* much when Lady Hilda was with them a* when they were alone. He had never owned to him­ self that he loved her. though he worship­ ed the very sound of her name. He tried to blind himself to realities. nn<l in some measure he succeeded. Lady Hilda sow thnt she wot quite powerie**, she could bnt watch nnd pray. One lovely, sunlight morning, some of their visitor* had left them, and those expect cd had not arrived; when they ro»e from the breakfast table. Lord Dunhavvt^ raid to the inlstre** of Feruhur»t: “Nothing could be more pleasant this morning rhan to go out among Ute roses; and If you like I will read to you." • “I should like that better than any­ thing else,” said the duchess, nnd Imdy Hilda, who stood by. raised her eyes with «ttch sudden wistful entreaty that the earl was touched by it. "Will yon come with ns. Miss Dunn?" hr asked quietly. "Ye*. I should Ilfat it very much," she answered. They went all three together: t$ry walk­ ed stowly through the rose garden. The duchess loved that spot better than any other In Fernhurst, just because the roses grew there. “I love roses," she said-hr Lord Dunbaren. ns they stood looking at the won­ derful variety—crimson, white damask, maiden blush, moss rose—all In such "Then I would rather not hear it,” she luxuriant profusion. “I wish.” be said. ‘That I were a roee. said.

Pretty, picturesque chair* and tables were placed, under the*itbndc. It was n little earthly paradise—-the liezutiful light, the rich greensward, the bright flowers blooming all round, the utuaic <>f the birds; no won­ der that Duchess Lurline preferred It to the magnificent drawing room wherein king* and queens had been entertained.

It Is a decided advantage to have tbe fowls Ixqjin moulting thus early, for such hens will be full feathered in fall nnd be good fall and winter layer*. Such a hen has also tx‘gun laying early, so nt iKith ends of the season She fur­ nishes eggs that bring the highest price.

As there are 4,860 hills on nn acre when crops are planted three feet apart each way. It Is easy to see thnt the max­ imum crops of corn or potatoes are very much above the average. One bushel of potatoes to thirty hills would, give. 167 bushels per acre. One bushel of coni to forty-eight nnd one-half hills would give 101 4-5 bushels of corn. It should seem as If these yields might be attained by any farmer, but they ar* not. Rough broken lands are well adapted to sheep pasturing. Always select the largest and most growthy sows for breeder*. Unless a cow is a good breeder sbo should not be kept on the farm. To meet low prices lessen the coat of production as much as possible.

It was st once found, however,’ that • cluster of arc lamps 150 feet or more from the ground might be an excellent plan for lighting.the whole of a large area, but wns a very poor plan for light­ ing city streets. In the average Ameri­ can city, with long blocks, the streets ■comprise not more than one-third of the area. Hence with the tower system of lighting 66 per cent or more of the Illuminating power is wasted iu light­ ing up house roofs, baek yards and va­ cant lots. Nearly every city of which we have information that originally adopted the tower system of lighting lias abandoned it. It is therefore quite surprising to learn that Des Moines, la., proposes to put in a municipal street-lighting plant and to use thetower system. What con­ sideration influenced the city authori­ ties to adopt this system we do not know, but we would strongly urge them to investigate the experience of Detroit and other cities with the tower system of lighting before they con­ struct such a plant in their own city.

The electric trolley system to be in­ troduced In Paris in time for the inter­ national exposition of 1000 is vastly dif­ ferent from that commonly employed in the United States, inasmuch as the dangerous overhead wires are absolute­ ly done away with. The new system, says the Philadelphia Record, is the In­ vention of the French engineer Bochet, and, while rather simple, it steers clear of the objection on account of unsight­ ly obstruction, which is usually raised when overhead wires have to go up. Bochet establishes overhead contacts from electric lamp posts belonging to the city. The distance between poets |>eing soqjcwjiut smaller than the length of the clsctric train, con­ sisting of two or three cars, so that contact is always assured al one point at least. Through flex­ ible points of contact suspended from each electric light post nlofig the projMwcd line the current will be taken up by means of a copper rail fastened along the edge of the roof of the car not less than 14 or 15 feet from the ground. The contact point will slide along that copper rail, and there Is not the slightest difficulty iu establishing a continuous current if the (xjints of contact are made sufficiently clastic. The current is allowed to return to the power station through the track of the line, os usual. . This system offers all the benefits of the overhead, as well as of the underground systems, without any of their shortcomings.

From 1884 to 1886 the city had reached its zenith, and contained a population of 1.912 souls. To-day the population is less than 4W, and of the 500 houses lea* than 100 are occupied. In 18»4there were 13 monster saw mills, one box factory "’“I two shingle mills in operation. Then tbe valuation of real and personal property wa* $640,000. To­ day it Is but $87,000. During the lum­ bering reason of 1884 the sum of $157,006 was paid in wages; in 1897 it will be less than $4,000. The only Industries are one saw mill, property of Gow & Campbell, and tbe Frank Allrcrts single mill. The dty i* beautifully situated nn a bluff thnt rise* from 40 to 00 feet above the level of Muskegon Lake. Those fa­ miliar with it* rise and full are rcminde.1 of the ••’Deacrted Village,’’ by Oliver Gold­ smith: "Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the pinin. Where bcslth nnd plenty cheered the la­ boring swain. Where omiling spring it* earliest visit paid,. And parting summer's lingering blooms delayed." The bluff extends from east to west about three miles, and experiment* have proven this elevation to be one of the best fruit producing sections on the cast *bore ot Luke Michigan, particularly in . the culture of grapes. Tbe blighting frosts that often visit the lowland* in spring und autumn are seldom felt here. One-half mile north of the shore of Mus­ kegon I-akc is Bear Lake, a beautiful sheet of water covering about 200 acres, from which the city .is supplied with'wnter by pumps. This lake is connected with Muskegon Lake by Ruddimnn Creek, at the western limits of the city. Notwithstanding its favorable location nnd healthful surrounding* a strange fa­ tality has seemed to follow the city from the first, When the saw mills wore in operation accidents horrible in their na­ ture were frequent. In 1888 the boilers In Lynch's saw mill exploded, killing one man and injuring many other*. In the summer of 1880 a large fly wheel in one of the mills burst, killing a mnn named Dennison, injuring several others, and damaging the mill and machinery. In 1885 the box factory boiler* exploded, killing two men nnd seriously wounding five other*. In 1893 Mr*. Bridget Clark, of New York State, who wan visiting her son, fell on a defective sidewalk and re­ ceived permanent injuries. She sued the city for $5,000 damages and in the Cir­ cuit Court was given p verdict £or $l,5Q0. The city of North Muskegon fought the suit \JirovJgh the Federal Court in Cin­ cinnati, r.nd that tribunal afilrmcd the judgment. The Mayor nnd Council were afterwards ordered by the Court to pro­ vide for paying the judgment by taxation levied tor the purpose.

Six heads were cracked and one man wu shot in the *-alf of tbe left leg, at an early hour Tuesday morning in the vil­ lage of Essexville as a result of the bad bloo*l existing between the Boyce and Northcote faction*, so-called. For sev­ eral months there has been trouble -brew­ ing between George IL Boyce, president of the village; Archie A.

King was struck over the shoulder with a chair nnd suf­ fered a partial fracture of the arm. While Marshal Cotter and Constable Bartlett were conveying two of the men to Jhe county jail. Dr. Nortbcote wa* called tqmn to attend Trudell. King and Purtill. ne their injuries needed medical attention. While returning from a visit to 1‘nrtill. who«e gashes he wwed up. Dr. Northcvtc claims to have been followed by Emrlrhart and a crowd of men. who dared hliu to come out on the sidewalk nnd exchanged shot*.

The remedy in this case is to provide more room for the stock aud better ventilation. Tbe stable should be kept as clean as possible, and the cows well bedded and clean. The utmost cleaulluetM should be observed In milking. All dirt should be brushed from the cow before beginning to milk, and it is best to danqien the udder aud fiqnk of tbe cow, so as to prevent Hie dust and fine dirt from falling into the milk. The milk should lie strained im­ mediately after milking, and not al­ lowed to stand iu the cow stable any A gtxxl strainer Is Indispensable, and one of cloth Is much better than dhe of wire gauze. Milk palls should always Im? made of tin. and the seams should be soldered smooth, so tliat there will be no place* for the dirt to lodge where It will be difficult to remove. They, ns well as other dairy utensils, should lie thoroughly cleaned every time after us­ ing. Tin articles should be washed first in cool, then Id hot water, and after that thoroughly scalded with boil­ ing water or steam. They should then be dried in fresh air, and.

Recent Torrid Spell Hue Been as Had ■■ a Visitation of Cholera. • The Lcnted term through which the country has just passed has been ns de­ structive of life ns u visitation of -the cholera or yellow fever might have been. The features which have made It excep­ tional are the Ihrge extent of country affected, it* long contlnuani-v without in­ terrupt I >n and the fact that tbe night* hnve been almost ns hot ^s the days. Al­ most every summer the temperature gets up into the nineties in some localities, and may remain there for two or three dnys with partial relief at night.' , In the re­ cent case the whole Mississippi valley was affected nnd the high temperature continuei! without intcrrujition for more than n week, and with very little relief at night. These condition* combined to in­ crease lhe bumtar of fatalities. Of these then? have ta<?n several hundred reported in the news columns. Cincinnati nlonc report* sixty deaths from sunstroke dur­ ing wven dnys. But probably not more than 10 per cent of the cases get into the new*p.i|M’nc The reports come only from the cities and towns where there is tele­ graphic cotnmnnlcation ami n new* re­ porter.

Throughout n large extent of country harvesting bns been going on, nnd while farmers, a* u clns*. nre not a* liable to be prostrated by heat ns dwellers in cities, many of • hem must have succumbed to the torrid heat of the Inst .week. The population of the farming districts great 1> outnumbers, in the aggregate, thnt of the cities and towns, nnd must have furnished its pro­ portion of fatalities. To all these must be added the dcathSMff very aged persons and of infant*, which, though reported under other cnusi-s. were due a* directly to the heat a* If they hnd occurred from sunstroke.

Tlie Idea thnt we must ever keep ourselves busy, even in va­ cation. so that the mind may not be­ come rust<-d, is all nonsense.” For those who cannot go away Mr. Bok advlees a change in their mode of living, or Ln tiielr dally work.

"even If it’is only a change of rooms; of merely not sleeping In the same rooms in summer, as we do in winter, or even a rearnui^ement iff the' furniture, of tbe curtains, carpets or pictures in our room—any change. No woman Is so bumble of circumstances tliat she cannot^makc her life pleasant­ er and higher, bringing some change into it. A rest at home, with tbe mind refreshed by compassing minor changes from day to day, is oft times as much needed and as lienefickil as a long journey to other pla<*es or Ln other lands.

The subject of aerial navigation Is now so prominently before tbe public thnt reminiscences ns to its Ix-ginnlng may not Im? out of order. Tlie princi­ ple of the balloon^was conceived by Albert of Snxony. as early ns the four­ teenth century, and successful balloons were made by a Portuguese Jesuit. Francesco Mendoza. The first balloon ascensions were made by the Montgol­ fiers In 1783, since which time balloon flights hnve become so common ns to attract little attention. The Iden that n piece of mr<-baulsm could lie devised which should navigate the nir. Irre­ spective of the winds or currents, has long been entertained, and it is said thnt over 1.0CO pntents have been taken out in England and this country on fly­ ing machines. Most of them combine tlie balloon principle with a propelling IHiwer. the former for the purjiose of sustaining the weight of the necessary machinery nud of the operator.. I^is probably only a question of time when some of these devices will prove suc­ cessful, and. according to common re­ port. several Inventors have already solved the problem. There must al­ ways. however, be a Large element of danger in navigating the atmosphere, nnd It Is probable that even if flying machines become a success tbe most of the human race will lie contented with terra firma modes of travel. When Cain Killed Abel. There is n very geueral' mist-onceptlon of n well-known jMisaage In the Book of Gen«*Ui with regard to Caln’s place of abode after he had killed his brother Abel. The expression reads: "Caln went out from the presence of the Lord and dwelt in the land of Nod,” but learned commentators ex­ press the opinion tliat this should read, “land. Nod,” the preposition being un­ necessary. Tlie word Nod is said to mean a wanderer, and. If Biblical stu­ dents are to be trusted in this matter, the imssage meajia Cain went out nnd dwelt In the laud a wanderer or exile from hls people, the presumption being that he was ubllgtHl to keep away from his Immediate family for fear of their vengeance, nn additional precaution for hls safety-being indicated by tbe fact that a mark was placed upon him. The question where Cain got Ids wife is a silly quibble which frequently comes up lu Sunday'schools nud other places: silly from the fact that if the Biblical account of the origin of the humau race from a single pair be re­ ceived n* <-orrect. there may have been several thousand of human beings in tbe world long before the death of Shaving by Machinery. with the exception of Anson he I* the Inst of the uien forming that combination to nerve on the team.

How often she hnd longed to w it. If she had never left him they would have been living at Havendale now. How her tvhole heart nnd soul longed for some news of the place which ■huuld have boon her own. She looked at the master of It. but he bad eyes for no one and nothing except the lovely young face before him. “Do yon live at Havendate. Lord Dunhaven’f" asset! Lady Hilda, after a short pause.

She ■aid no more, but the curiosity of Duch­ ess Lurline was aroused. “You need not . talk about him unless you like." she said, "but I nm.much iptcrMtcd. What relation was he to you, this old carl?" she asked. “My father nnd be were couaina," re­ plied Lord Dunhaven. “Then how came you to succeed him? Had he no sons of his own?” “No," replied Lord Dunhaven. "he had do sons; hchad one daughter, and I be­ lieve he hated her. He never forgave her because she was not a boy. 1 have hi*ar< my mother say that he never kissed her once in his life." “Poor girl!” murmured tbe duchess. In tones of sweetest compassion. “Yes, she was greatly to be pitied," he replied sadly; "no one know* how much,” Duchess Lurline was looking with curi­ ous eye* into bis face. “Tell me about her,” she said. “I am Interested in her; what became of hey?” A sunbeam came over the greensward, a bright-eyed .bird bopped under the ■hade, the wind stirred the deep boughs, but where those two sat there was no sound. Tlie words that the duchess spoke seemed to linger in the air. Lady Hilda rose from, her seat; her bear: was beating, her pulse throbbing, her brain seemed to be on fire. She could not remain there to hear what answer he had to make. Dear heavens! what would he say? She must hear it; she coaid not go- She leaned against one of the big. thick branches. She was fascinated: she could not go. She must hear it. If the hearing of it killed her. Tbt'y were tbo -much engrossed in each othtf to thiuk of iher.

To them it passed like,js summer dream: to Lady Hilda it wa* one long dream of pain. She saw so plain­ ly what would happen, and she- was so powerless to prevent it; she saw that day by day the love between them grew stronger aud sweeter—that hhart nnd soul were drawn nearer together—that life held nothing but tbelr love fur each other. ‘It was poetical, graceful, beautiful, but how would it end?* She asked herself if it were possible, after having lived all these weeks with tbe duchess, ho would ever live without her again? Aiffl her own heart, her own instinct answered. No; a certain, keen conviction came to her that they would never part-again. The autumn was passing, and the duke did not renew his invitation; he bad many friends; perhaps he thought it was time, some other* enjoyed his.splendid hospi­ tality. He said one morning, »vhen he felt better, and bad come down to break­ fast with them: “We shall miss you. Lord Dunhaven, during the long winter months—you must come back to us in the.spring." Tbe earl bowl'd his acknowledgments in silence; but Lady Hilda saw bis eyes meet jhe loving ones of Duchess Lurline, and she understood tbe‘glance that pass­ ed between them—It meant thnt there should be no parting for them but death. How that one long, lingering, loving glance haunted her with a presentiment of coming evil! She thought she would see what the duchess herself felt on the matter. They were alone together that day in Lurliue’a-room. Lady Hilda saidto her: "We shall soon hare-winter here now, with the frost and snow.” “Yes." said the duchess, with dreamy eyes; “it will soon be here.” "How much you will miss Lord Dunhaven,” she continued; “your life will seem quite changed when he is gone. What month does be leave us in?” "He is going at the end of October," was the quiet reply. The words were simple enough, but something—a strange, firm look had come into the beautiful face—something of calm and self-reliance; a strange smile played round the lovely lips. "What are you tbinkiqg ofT' asked Lady Hilda. The young girl waited in silence for some minqtM, then she aaid: “I nm thinking that those quaint words are true: ‘The worid is well lost for love.’ ’’ Again something in her manner struck Lady Hilda—a certain quiet, grave re­ straint. . “Those arc word* that require explana­ tion," she said. “The world Is well lost for a good love, but never for n bad one. To lose the worid with honor is to lose it well—to lose it with dishonor is death. Take yourself, for instance. Duchess Lurliae; suppose in some mnd moment you were to say to yourself that the worid was well lost for love, do you know ail that would entail on you?" , “No," said the duchess quietly, “I do not." “Ix't me show you. If, in some mad. romantic mood, yon said to yourself that tho world was well lofct for love—and— you left your home—” Looking fixedly at her. she saw a flush rise on the fair young face— the dear eye* fell before hers. "If ever yon are tempted to be *q mad, let me show you what you would lose. Your fair name, nothing could give it back to you; even if tbe man you left with married you, yon would never be received by one re­ spectable peraon; you would lose your position, your state, rank, and everything belonging to them.” A quiet smile came over the fait face. Lady Hilda saw it. “You would lose what is dearer to you than any of these thinj^," slse said. "Your busband love* you and trusts you; there is no dbttbt that if you proved so foully disloyal and untrue to him thnt the knowledge of it would kill him. Would you ever be happy again if that happen- “No. how should I?" she asked. “I—I marrifd her.

How this fair-haired child must have suffered, even though she had never spoken of her pain. Then she said to herself that most certainly her suspicion* were cor­ rect. and that to-day, above all other days, she must keep her watch most strictly. The curl was to leave Fernburat at fire in the afternoon. She saw him give the duchess a letter; what were its content* she could not even guess. She heard, too, while they were talking, these words: "Until death." She aaid them, and tbe earl repeated: “Yea, until death.” , What did they moan? Were they pledg­ ing their love and troth? It sounded like it. So keen was her watch, so Itrtense her anxiety over them, thnt sho bad not time to think of herself, or to realise that her husband wa* going away, and tbe human probability was that she should see him no more; she bad to trample down tbe pain, to crush the anguish and despair, to remind herself that she must forget everything else. nnd think only of them, of their safety and honor. She stood quite still while Lord, Dunhnven hade the duchess farewell; he bent down to kiss her hands, whife her eyes were filled with tears; but Lady Hilda felt spec his farewell was merely to save appearances. It was not likely that two who had loved each other ao well would part so.. He said but one word to Duchess Ldrline; he looked in her beautiful face, down in her beautiful eyes, aud then he said to her: "Remember." . • Thon, turning to Tjidy Hilda, he held out hi* hand to her. She saw that he wns deadly pale—that his eyes were tilled with tears. He could not speak; he held her hand tightly clasped for some few minutes, then he was gone. A groat darkness came, over her—a great sound filled her ear*; she loved him better thau she loved her life, pnd he was gone. * Lord Dunhaven hnd been gone a week, and as yet nothing had happened to cor­ roborate Lady Hilda's suspicions. She had seen but little of tho duchess, who contrived now to spend the greater part of her time in her room. They did not talk much. This suspicion of Lady Hil­ da’s stood like a barrier between them. Lady Hilda begnn to have a faint hope that she was mistaken. It was possible thnt her suspicions had been ’deepened and magnified by her fear*. Everything seemed going on well; there was nothing to give her any alarm. True, she thought of the earl’s look when' he was leaving Lurline, and tbe solemnity of that one word : "Remember." , She was beginning to hope more and suffer less, when one morning the dulce asked her to open the letter bag. -There wns a great number of letters; among them wns one for the duchess. She rec­ ognized I-ord Dunhaven’* handwriting; it wns a thick packet, too. The duchess did not o;>en it, but bld it away in her dress. An hour later. Lady Hilda, going into her room, saw the sheets of paper, closely written, lying cn the ground around her, and the duchess kneeling, her face buried in her hands, nobbing as though her heart would break. Lady Hi!da_,wns uneasy; she went to her room, but she could not rest. She opened her window and looked out; the night was dorlfc-thc moon quite bidden; A few stars gave ‘a pale, faint gleam, hardly to be called a light; the wind wailed round the great house, and the bare branches of the tall trees stirred gently. It was not a cheerful -night; a solemn, silent darkness seemed to brood over the earth; the tall chrysanthemums nnd the fair flowers were fast dying. Yet there was rest out under this autumn sky. She stood there watching the silent night: hour after hour passed, but still she thought of nothing but her love and her pain. She heard tbe great dock in the stables strike twelve, and she said to herself It was time she went to bed; ypt the night was *0 tempting to her, the quiet so grateful, she could not leave it. Her thoughts went back with a long sigh to Duchess Lurline. Could it be possible, after all, that there was anything wrong? She had been strong^ and unlike herself ever since that letter came. While these thoughts ran through her mind, she heard a sound as of some one moving quietly and gently. Her first thought wns it was oue of the servants; then a horrible fear, a terrible doubt, to which she could give no name, came over her—a fear that made her hasten quickly to the door, open it nnd look out. It was quite dark in the corridor, the lamps were all out, tbe door of tbe duchess’ room was closed. She looked over the railings of the staircase Into, the hail below, and there, aniess her senses played her false, a tall figure draped in block moved silent­ ly along. Suddenly she remembered that from tbe window in the corridor she could sec who left the house; she opened it quickly, and th-’re gilding quietly along the west­ ern terrace she saw the same tall, dark figure, and she knew it wa* Lufilnc, Duchess of Nairn, stealing from her home iu the silence of night. There was little need to ask where she was going, or to ask who was there to meet her. Quickly as possible, Lady Hilda hurried down tbe great staircase, and out of tbe door; but the tall figure bad disappeared; a sud­ den thrill of fear passed over her. What if she could not find he.r?

She heard a passionate cry from the duchess and then he kissed her. . “Heaven.help me to a**vo her!”-cried Lady Hilda. “Lurline, Ducheaa of Nairn, in the name of heaven what are you do­ ing?" The dnehesa cried out in alarm; the cart Started back with an angry face. “My darling." sobbed Lady Hilda, hold­ ing her tightly claapod. “my darling, heaven baa sent me to fetch you back,‘to prevent you from doing thia wicked deed, to bid you send him from you and go back to your husband and your home." Tho passion of pain in her voice awed them both; Lurline wns silent, the carl cried out: "Mias Dunn, you have no right to follow and to Interfere.” "I have a right." she answered, “the right of one Christian to save two other* from tbe brink of hell. I have a right, be­ cause I come in the name of God." Sho clasped one arm round the drooping figure, she raised the other ns though ap­ pealing to heaven. (To be continued.)Count Up Yonr Ancestor*. Grandfathers and grandmofhers are very proud when they can boast of hav­ ing a paltry score or two of descend­ ants, but no one seems to be aware of the grounds he has for boasting-of tho number of hls ancestors. ’ Has It ever occurred to you to conn', back In a direct line? If not, try It now, nnd you will be astonished. At tbe first remove you will have two—father and mother. At the next step you have four—two grandfathers and two grand­ mothers. Each of these had a father and moth­ er, so you hnve four great-grandfath­ ers and four gr»*at-grnndmotbera. Each of these again has hnd two parents, so. thnt nt the fourth generation bnck you have sixteen ancestors, at the fifth you hnw thirty-two. nt the sixth you hnve slxty-four, nnd at the seventh you hnve 128. As yon go a little further they rise to tbe thousands, tens of thousands, nnd hundreds of thousands, so that, if all your direct ancestors far twenty gen­ erations be added together, they amount to over 1.000,000. nnd If you go back an­ other twenty degrees they total 1,000,OuO.OOO—or more jH’ople than there are In tho world at the present moment. If you leave out Asin. Now, as forty generations arc equal to only about 1,200 years. If you were to calculate back to tbe beginning of the world, you simply couldn’t find fig­ ures to express the number of your blood relations. Slighted Gift* of Royalty. It must be rather distressing to roy­ alty to see the small value set upon the gifts which It Is in tbe habit of distrib­ uting among its friend^ nnd followers, says Pearson's Weekly. These gifts are constantly being converted into cash In a most public and open manner, without the slightest delicacy of re­ straint, thus: At a great public auction recently held in London there was a valuable gold-mounted nnd jeweled cane, which hnd-belonged to the I?te Maharajah Dhuleep £ingh, and hnd ix-en presented to him by the Prince of Wales as a token of friendship aud re­ gard. It was but the other day that a num­ ber of very charming etchings, made by the Queen and tbe late Prince Con­ sort forty-five years ago. were put up for auction at Dublin. They had been presented by her Majesty and her hus­ band to one of her former ladles-lnwaltlng, on whose death they were of­ fered for sale by the heirs. Tbe shop windows of one of the great pawnbrokers at Berlin were filled sojne months ago with nn entire collection of valuable watches snuff-boxes adorned with gems, articles of Jewelry, etc., all presented- by various sovereigns and royal personages to the late Count Visone, minister of the household to the King of Italy, and pledged without be­ ing ri'deemed by his scapegrace sou, who. until the othor day. wns a secretnr.- of tbe Italian embassy at Berlin.

The effect of low prices on horses and cattle has been to create an inter­ est in better stock. Farmers are learn­ ing thakitjs to their advantage to attempt to compete with those who resort to the pure breeds, as quality is sought at the present day more than formerly. Beef cattle have been greatly improved in the east,owing to the western dressed beef trade, the object being to control the market here by producing choice cattle. The butter production of the individual cows is also Increasing, and more calves are being raised that are well bred. If low prices and necessity force an abandmentof scrub stock entirely the farmers will, in a few years, more than regain all that they may have lost from present reduced rates. The marriage of Frank C. Lentz to Miss Daisy Phi Hips was consummated at the home of the bride’s parents Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Phillips, on Sherman street, Wednesday evening. At ex­ actly eight o’clock Miss Daisy Well­ man took her seat at the organ and began the march, and to the Inspiring strains the bridal party marched Into the,parlor, which was decorated with myrtle, flowers, and potted plants, where the ceremony was Impressively solemnized by Rev. W. J. Wilson. After congratulations bad been show­ ered upon the happy young couple by the sixty guests, all present repaired to the dining room where a bountiful supper was seryed. Immediately af­ ter supper, Mr. and Mrs. Lentz start­ ed for their home, on the corner of Phillips and Washington streets, which was all furnished and In readi­ ness for immediate housekeeping, fol­ lowed by a number of the guests, and a merry time was had until a late hour when all departed for their sev­ eral homes, leaving their best wishes and congratulations with the young couple. Miss Fernle Lentz, sister of the groom, offllciated as bride's maid and Chas. Hoover as best man. They were the recipients of many t>eautiful and useful presents. Those from out of town who attended were Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Phillips and Miss Mae Ben­ edict of Vermontville and Mr. and Mrs. Walter Webster of Charlotte. that Robert Mayo, a single man about 23 years old, living with his brother Fred, in Maple Grove township, was terribly injured while on his way to town that morning. He is afflicted with epilepsy and was in a wagon alone, near Emery’s corners south of the vil­ lage, when he fell into a fit and plung­ ed forward oyer the dashboard. He was found shortly afterward in an unconsclous condition with bls nead be­ tween the wheel and the whlppletree badly lascerated. He was taken home and it is hoped will be all right in a few days. If the report Is true Mr. Mayo can congratulate himself upon being alive now. The new state law requiring horseshoers to undergo an examination as to their fitness and capability as a prerequisite to continuing the busi­ ness, went into effect last Wednesday morning. The examinations are to be conducted by a state board of horxesboers, who will issue certificates to those passing the required tests. The board h empowered by law to perform for horses much the same function that the tx»ard of health does for human beings. It will exer­ cise a general control and regulation of horse-shoers all over the state. All apprentices will hereafter be required to attend a special course of lectures on the anatomy of horses’ feet' before presenting themselves for examina­ tion. There was an exciting accident on the corner of Main and Jefferson streets last evening, due to too fast driving. A young clerk with a livery rig was warming up. the horses on Main street and turned the corner at an improper speed, running into the buggy of Wm. Parker of Green street, in which two ladies were seated. The nearest wheel of the buggy was taken off and the vehicle badly damaged, the young man keeping on at the same speed, turning down Jackson street. Before striking the buggy the driver nearly ran over a child getting off the streetcar. This morning he was found and denied the deed, but when proven settled the bill for damages and the matter was dropped.—Battle Creek Moon. NUMBER 48 F: G.

A ■uigniKtent monument at Galena tells that few* that city went forth Grant, the •iient tanner, who became the great mllitary chieftain. Now, in enduring bronze, the figure of Logan, the greatest of Amer­ ican vutar.lccr’koldiern, stands ou the lake trail in Chicago. With a great demonotratiou which, like the recent Grant eom■recuoratioa in New .York, was one not of ■orrow and mourning, but of glory and Jay, the monument to Logan was unveiled Thursday. This was the anniversary of tiie battle of Atlanta, fought in 1864, at which I-ngati reached the summit of bis military fume. The ceremony was accomplished in the Vnaence of a multitude notable in its fac­ tors, and with a magnificence of detail quite unprecedented. On the platform nt the footof the statue was grouped a com­ pany that no event of less importance could have called together. The widow of the dead general, asmy officers who served with him through the wnr, Governocs of States, numbers of President MciKink-y's cabinet and United States Sen­ ators sat in the shadow of St. Gsuden's heroic statue nnd t«xik part in the exercanes. Iu the throng that listened to Mr. Peek's oration were many of the leading eitixens of the nation*and in those greater multitudes along the line of "march were thousands of Chicago residents together with other thousands from every quarter of-the country. The city has rarely been so profusely decorated. It was not alone from public buildin.;* that bunting bad been flung to the breeze, but business bouses and pri­ vate residences in every section of the city shared in the general display. Presi•dent McKinley could not attend in per­ son; his duties in Washington during the dosing hours of Congress rendered such a step impracticable.

Logan was popular even with the Southerners there because of his fairness nnd genial­ ity. One of the Union generals, now dead, was known to sympathize strongly with the enemy, although, fa Federal uniform. This general and his staff had been quar­ tered in a large mansion in the outskirts of the town. It belonged to a Southern gentleman, to .whom 'that particular gen­ eral was much attached. He promised thnt when he and his staff retired the house should not be ocupled further by the nnuy. When the time came to move, however, there were many sick nnd woundeil to be left behind. The only available bouse suitable fur a hospital was the old gentleman's mansion. Dr. Boler called ou Logan nnd related the circum­ stances.

This was one of the bloodiest battles of the war. It was July 22. 1864. Hood had succeed­ ed Johnstop in command of the Confed­ erate fonrajand these were intrenched in Atlanta. Gen. Sherman, however, be­ lieving that the enemy had evacuated the city, ordered McPherson to move forward in the direction of East Point nnd over­ take the Confederates. Major Gen. Lo­ gan. commanding the Fifteenth army corps, was ordcied to press the enemy on the left tlnnk. while Gens. Schofield nnd Thomas were to attack his right and rear. McPherson soon discovered that Sherman had been completely misled, and ordered Ix-gan's troops to go ‘nto position for battie. Abont noon, the firing having become general all along the line by that time, McTJherson rode out almost alone to observe the carrying out of his orders. In passing through a narrow bridle path he came upon n stray company of Confeder­ ates from Hardee’s corps, lying down in As an Instance of his unfailing courtesy to the enemy, and especially to women and children. Major Mitchell, one of Lo­ gan's <>ld stall officers and a Board of Trade man now in Chicago, relates the folowing incident: “When the army was encamped at Huntsville a Southern wom­ an. whose husband and sons were in the Confederate army, applied to Logan for protection. She lived alone with her two daughters, and was afraid that the fam­ ily might be molested in some way. Lo­ gan at once stationed a guard at her bouse and kept it there until the army Logan never could resist the appeal of the old soldier. After the bitter campaign of 1884 an old volunteer, lame and broken in health, presented himself before the general one evening. He preferred a re­ quest. compliance with which would hare placed Logan in the position of an appli­ cant for favor from the administration.

McPherson, supposing it to be a detachment of his own troops, with his usual courteous man­ ner. lifted his bat. Immediately after perceiving his mistake, he wheeled his horse, wag fired upon mid killed. Gen. Sherman nt once ordered l^ogan. the next in rank, to take command. Never did a general on either side in the four years’ wnr display more superb qualities of courage. He brought order out of cbaos and victory from defeat. The news of MePJienon** death haring spread, Lo­ gan rallied the troops with’the cry: “MePberson and revenger’ Logan took com­ mand on that famous black stallion of his, and became a flame of fire and fury. He was everywhere: his home covered with foam and himself hatlew and begrimed with dust; perfectly comprehending the position: giving sharp orders to officers as he met them, and planting himself firmly ht front of fieeing columns, with revolver tn hand, threatening, In tones not to be mistaken, to fire into the advance did they uot instantly halt and form in order of "1 have never asked a political favor from this administration and I never will.” The poor volunteer stolt out of the room atrashed and disappointed.

This is the case in some of the poorer districts Where the farmer makes little more than a living at his best, and where now his last year’s crope have all been sold long ago, and be Is unable to realite on the increase in prices of farm pro­ ducts, and where a large portion of hfs present and'prospectlve crop must go to pay his spring’s fertilizer bill; also where he does not live near enough manufacturing centres to feel the effect of the increased wage mon­ ey now being paid to factory laborers.

Another evidence of Improved busi­ ness conditions comes from the fact that the loan agencies have resumed liberal advances on property at an un­ usually low rate of Interest. The year 1897 is evidently to be a year of great prosperity with the farm­ ers, the crops at home being very heavy and those abroad reported light, with the result that the farmers in this country will get good prices and have an unusually large crop to dis­ pose of. 20T«r»nMiA 250.000 CURED.

Prompt action -and satisfactory results characterize the new tariff law, its completion being earlier than that of any tariff bill since the one enacted by the first thinkers, and its provisions being more thoroughly sat­ isfactory to the people than any which this generation has seen. The strike among the coal miners is growing in strength and as a conse­ quence the price of coal Is advancing. There are those who^thlnk that the strike Is brought about by the mine operators for the purpose of making money by the chance to raise the price of their product. Be this as It may. It Is unfortunate that a strike has oc­ curred and unless it comes to a speedy settlement it is very liable to bring much want and suffering upon the people in large cities and where coal Is used exclusively as fuel. Another indication of the sound fi­ nancial judgment of the avetagc farmer comes to the surface la the series of reports produced by the New York Sun in which It shows that the farmers in all parts of the country, especially those of the west, are pay­ ing off the! r mortgages with the in­ creased prices which they have re­ ceived for their farm products, and there is reason to believe that the good prices for the crops which are now being gathered which are prom­ ised by tbe condition of light crops abroad will go far toward releivlng the agricultural element of the bur­ den of Indebtedness about which the much politicians have been so troubled. * Tbe croakers who complained of Secretary Seward’s course because he paid seven millions for Alaska showed little wisdom. -Alaska has already brought to the United States many dollars more than it cost us, in Its fur-seal industry, and now it has de­ veloped the richest gold mine in the world. This enormous gold And with­ in our own territory, coupled with the fact that the gold mines of the world are producing this year more than ever in history and that we are going to draw great quantities of gold from abroad in payment of our splen­ did crops, for which high prices are predicted, promises a good supply of money and prosperity in the United States during the coming year, and indeed indefinitely. An international bimetallic confer­ ence held in the United States and at­ tended by representatives of Great Britian as well as other leading nations is now looked upon as prob­ able if not indeed an assured fact. In no place on the surface of the globe is rent so high as at Gibraltar, the rea­ son being, says the Philadelphia In­ quirer, that the geographical position of the town precludes the possibility of ita being extended in any direction. A long, narrow strip of what was once sea bench is alpne available for build­ ing purposes. All the rest is precipitous rock. Upon this narrow parapet, in some cases less than 100 yards in width, arc crowded the homes of 25,000 people. As much as ten dollars a week is asked and obtained for the use of one small room, nnd this, too, in a place where the normal rate of wijges is quite ten percent. less than in America.. Natural­ ly, the overcrowding is fearful, and, the water supply being scarce and in­ termittent. cleanliness of living, as we understand it, is almost impossible. No wonder that in the old days the plague and the cholera ravaged the “rock” with a virulence unknown in the filthy and pestilential cities of the far east. In Malta, on the other hand, house rent is ridiculously cheap. Anywhere outside of Valeria an excellent seven­ room house can be had for $15 a year, while rates and taxes are unknown. The houses are built entirely of the cream-colored stone of which the island is composed, and which is so soft that it can be cut whh a saw into blocks or slabs of any desired size or shape. So, while the Maltese bulkier is digging up his foundation, he is at the same time getting out the material for his walls, his flooring and his roof. WORKED AN OLD TRICK.

Out of 1,000,000 people 225 women reach the age of 100 years, while only 82 men round out the century. Now, the great conundrum which is proposed is: Why is this so? According’to the popular superstition, it takes much longer for a woman to reach even the age of 50 than it takes for a man to reach that ngc. If this is true, it maxes the show­ ing all the more remarkable. It has even been asserted that association with women makes a man live longer, as shown by the fact that the average life of the married man is longer than the average life of a single man. The fact, however, is denied by the endmen at the minstrels, who says that the life of the married man is not really longer, but only seems so. So far there is no satisfactory ex­ planation of the original proposition why more women live to be 100. Some say it is because.women are less addict­ ed to tobacco and strong drink, others say that it islbccause it is more healthy to spend money than it is to earn it, end so on. It may be many of the men who would live to be 100 arc killed at an early age in casualties to which women tire not exposed. It may be that tight lacing is a life preserver, and 11 may be not a fact, after all. Possibly the English registrar-general may be mistaken. The situation is replete with possibilities.

Tbc object of the voyage is to establish a settlement at a remote northern paint In Greenland which shall Ih- used ns a base of supplies for an expedition to search for the north pole under Lieut. Peary in 1898. To this end a party oi Eskimos will Ik- established at the new settlement nnd will during the next year be engaged in making prepara­ tions for Lieut. Peary's expedition. The Hoik- will make direct for Sydney, C. B., where she will take coal for the remainder of the voyage. The ship will skirt the eonst.of Greenland, dropping the scieu-tific parties at various points and taking Lieut. Peary to Whale Sound, where his plan* for establishing a settlement will be carried out. Th* return voyage wjll be begun, it is expected. In about five weeks after the Hope arrives, nnd the parties will be picked up on the way bach While Peery Is in the north a Belgian expedi­ tion will explore the antarctic circle and endeavor to locate the south pole. The expedition expects to reach Grabamland about the middle of October, the begin­ ning of the fine austral season. The greatest latitude which has ever> been reached in the antarctic sone is 78 de­ grees, reached by Sir James Ros*. If the north pole 1* hard to reach, the difficulties surrounding the discovery of the south pole are innumerable. Phenomena occur there which no human being has yet been able to account for, and continents nnd mountains appear nnd disappear in a twinkling; fogs nnd sunshine alternate In startling rapidity. This much Is known of the south pole. Nobody has got nearer than 720 miles qf It: mountains exist, some of which are active volcanoes; no human being lives farther than 56 degrees and no quadruped beyond (Ml degrees. It is n land of mystery nnd wonder. Senate Approves the Noted Measure by a Decisive Vote. The tariff bill passed its lasL legislative stage nt 3 p. in.

BUT FEW NEW LAWS. DINGLEY BILL IS LAW ANALYSIS OF WORK OF THE EX­ TRA SESSION. MEASURE PASSED AND SIGNED BY M’KINLEY. Monse Passe* Tariff Bill In Response to Request of PrssMent McKinley with Little Delay, butSsnstc Holds It Many Week*. Done at Waahincctan. The Hcnate Saturday, by a vote of 40 to fff>, nvcipted the conference report tin the tariff lull. Within an hour President McKinley hud signed It, and the-mcasnre was law. The Predident sent a message to the House recommending a currency commission, but no action was taken. At 0 o'clock Saturday night, the extra ses­ sion took final adjournment. The extraordinary session of Omgress which has jtitrt closed was called by -Pres­ ident McKinley two days after be took the »«th of office. It met at noon March 15. The sjM-chtl message tinnsmittwl by him on the open­ ing day. explained the deficiencies in the revenues, reviewed the bond Issue* of the last administration, tnd urged Congress promptly tu correct the then existing con­ dition by i nssing a tariff bill that would supply njnplc revenues for the support of the Government nnd the liquidation of the public d«4»t. No other subject of legislation was men­ tioned in the message, and the tariff bill ha* licen the all-nbsorblng feature of the session. Three days after the session opened the tariff bill wag reported to the House by the Ways nnd Means Commit­ tee, and thirteen days later, March 31, It passed the Honsc. It went to the Senate, and was referred to tin- Commtttee <>n Finance. The Re­ publican members sjH-nt a month nnd three- days in preparing amendments *nbmilted to the Se-nute May 7. and exactly two months later, July 7. it passed the Benstv with 872 amendments. The bill then went to conference, where, after a t*u days’ struggle, on July 17. n complete agreement wa* reached by ■which thl- . Senate n-cedcd from 118 i amendments and the House from 511. I The others, 243 in number, were com­ promised. The conference report was adopted by the House July 19 at the con­ clusion <.f twelve hours' continuous de­ bate. The rejKirt was taken up in the Senate July 20 and adopted July 24. The tariff tiill was signed by the Pn-sident the same dav. ■ Congn-w did not devote its attention en­ tirely to the tariff, though it did subordi­ nate everything else to this one measure. The four appropriation bills which failed on Mar-h 4 Inst in themselves would have compelb-d President McKinley to call Congress in extra Mwhu even if the necessity for a revision of the tariff had not eXMted, Those appropriation bill* were the sundry civil, the agricultural, the Indian, ami the general deficiency.. These bills wan* intriMluccd and pnsmil by the Ho-i*e in the Identical form in which they existed nt the time of their failure of riiactmint into Irw nt the preceding Congress, but they were amended in some important particular* by the Senate, and when they finally became laws contained mon* or less new legislation of interest and ini|Hjrtance. home New Appropriations. The p*neral deficiency curried a pro­ vision accepting the invitation to take part in the* Paris exposition in I960, and appropriate**] $25,906 to defray prelimin­ ary expenses, and appropriated $150,606 for n now immigrant station at New York to replicv the one- destroyed by fire. By far the most ini|H>rtnnt piece of new legislation in the* bill, however, was thnt limiting the cost of armor plate for the three new battleshifuc to Sioo pc*r ton. In case the Secretary of the Navy should find it mqwMcsihle to make contracts for armor within the* l>ric*e fixed, he was au­ thorized by tjiis provision to take steps to establish a Gbvernmvnt armor plate fac­ tory of sufficient capacity to make thearmor. In the sundry civil bill the most im|>ortant new provision was that susiK-nding the* order of President Cleveland setting aside about 21,000,000 acres n« fon-st res­ ervations. The law also includes a gen­ eral scheme of legislation for the Govern­ ment nnd protection of the* forest reser­ vations of the* country. Fifty thousand dollars was appropria­ ted for the* relief of American citizens in Culm nt the solicitation of the* President; $2<M>.(MS) was npproprish-d for the* relief of the* Mississippi fl<Hxl sufferers; u re«ue lotion sui* passe-d authorizing the* Secre­ tary <»f the Navy to transport supplies contributed for the relief of the poor nnd famished in India; nnd $50.tXX) was tpproprinted for the entertainment and ex­ penses -if the delegates to the universal postal convention, which met in Wash­ ington. The only extensive* pieces of general legislation enacted by this Congress, ex­ cept the tariff bill, wen* the laws to pre­ vent collisions at sen and to place in force regulations to prevent collisions upon cer­ tain harlntrs. rivers and inland waters of the United States, and lhe bill authoriz­ ing the President to suspend discrimina­ ting duties on foreign vessels and com­ ment. The Senate, not being confined ns to the sco|H* of its legislation, dealt with a num­ ber of important subjects laith in nnd out of executive session. One o( these, which attracted world-wide attention, was the general arbitration treaty negotiated by PresHl.mt Cleveland with Great Britain. After exhaustive consideration, despite the great pressure brought to bear upon the Senate by religious and commercial bodies throughout the country, the Senate rejected the*trenty. The Hawaiian treaty of annexation ne­ gotiated by President McKinley wns still unacted upon when Congress adjourned. In op-.*n session after much debate the Senate imsw-d the Cuban bdUgerency res­ olution. n bankruptcy bill. Including both volnntstry nnd Involuntary features, and the "free homes" bill. But none of these iin;*ort:int questions received considera­ tion hi the Hwum*.

"What right have you to steal another man's wife? You. a peer of Eng­ land. a belted earl, la it so you repay the hospitality, the* trust. the faith, the frfradahip that thia girl’s husband baa shown you? You would cry shame on the man wbo stole bis money: you would Imprison a man who snared a bird in his woods: what should be done to yon. who have eaten his bread, lived under his roof, yet would steal his wife?” ' “It Is not stealing,** he said, smarting under the lash of her words, “it is not’ stealing. She goes with me of her own free will; do yon not; my darling? Do not blame me or her. blame those who sold ber in her youth to an old man for bin money; she loves me. nnd I will make her happy." “You would make her miserable,” she cried. "There can be no happiness with­ out honor.

Tell me. you who call yourself man, gentleman, noble­ man—can anything oh earth make such a fact as that right?” And he was silent, for he bad no word to answer her. pered to Lady Hilda. “Do you think it is possible that hr knows?” “No, I do not," she answered. Then Lurline bent her fair face over the dead oar, she laid ber warm, frosh, loving lipa on the closed ones—silent for­ evermore. "My husband," she said, “if you know it. pardon me. I have been saved from peril and your good name is safe. If you run bear, forgive me. I was mad, and knew not wbat I was doing." She kiss4*1 the dead face. “He was always kind to me." she said, and then Lady Hilda led her away. So the castle of.Fernhurst was shroud­ ed in deepest gloom. The dead duke had lieen much loved by bls dependents; It was a sorrowful day for them when he died. The heir-at-law came down a few days afterward, the duke’s only nephew, now duke himself. The cpstlr was nearly filled with friends and lawyers, but the young widow saw no one. She remained in her loom with her faithful companion. Miss Dunn. It required all Lady Hilda’s effort* to prevent her from having brain fever. She could not persuade ber to sleep, to cat, or to rest. With clasped hands she paced dp and down the room. “How nearly I was lost." she said; “but for you my name would be a by-word among men. Mothers would tell their children how I ran away when my hus­ band lay dead. If those who nre here now. wbo pay me such respect and hom­ age. if they only knew. 1 wish the earth wbuld open and hide me. 1 can never show my face again in the light of day.” But Lady Hilda always had comfort for her. •Try to think God loved you. and saved you because he bad work for you to do." she would say. "And remember, Lur­ line, that If He saw the sin. He sees also the rvjH-nlance." "I do repent," she cried. “I would give my life to undo my folly. Heaven knows how I repent." The day came when, with all the honors paid to one of his rank, the Duke of Nairn wan buried—laid to rest in the great family vault nt Fernbnrat, anil the new duke reigned in his stead. Then the will was read. Every one ■agreed the duke hnd acted most nobly. To Miss Dunn he left « bandsoime. leg­ acy, begging her always to remain with his beloved wife. To his beloved wife. Lurline. he left a magnificent fortune, anil a pretty estate in Kent, called Holmdale; he wished her to reside there. No old servant, no old friend Was forgotten; and the young duke was quite content. Nothing hnd been taken from him. nnd he prayed the duch­ ess to remain at Fernhurst Castle as long as she liked, but her one great wish was to be gone: she had so many sorrowful associations there. •’Let us go to Holmdale, Mamie,” she said; “the Caslle Is haunted for me.” Christmas found them settled at Holm­ dale; and during nil this time no word had been heard front Lord Dunhaven. They never mentioned his name, but he was the only one of whom they thought, and so tbc winter passed away. CHAPTER XXVIII. There hnd surely never been a qpre' dramatic scene than this—the dark sky, the great bare trees, the gleam of faint starlight, the tall, queenly girl with royal face and figure, who stood clasping the drooping, weeping girl, defying the whole world, ns it wer*, for ber sake: the man who stood with n world of passion on his face, nt tear with everything nnd every one. knowing every word Lady Hilda said was true, yet loath to lose the beautiful girl he loved so well. There cape sounds of quick footsteps, of a horse galloping, of men shouting, and the little* group by the trees stood paralyzed with amazement. "What is the matterT' cried the earl, as the men galloped past, and another one ran to open the gate. "What is the matter?” They did not stop to answer him. they did net stop to see who it whs standing then*: but one of tbc men. as he hastened CHAPTER XXIX. by, cried: A year and some months hnd passed “We are going to Hardale for doctors; the duke is dead.” Aud before the words since the death of the Duke of Nairn.

Will you find fire minutes for me before I go to-night-?” And those fire minutes she found for him. while the duchess went to dress for a drive with him. They stood on the lawn, dose to a great Inburnnm tr&*. while he talked to her; she held one of the long golden tresses in her hands. “Oner." he said, "you played the part of a guardian angel to me. God bk-ss you for that night’s action: you saved us from worse than death: now 1 want you to be my friend again, to talk to her. to persuade her. Miss Dunn, I love ber very dearly and I want to marry her." He saw the color die from her face and lips: she looked at him with eyes that held an angel’s pity and an angel’s love. "Marry her,” she repeated; “but you cannot. She is free—but yon---- ” She paused. “But I—what?” he said. "You have a wife," she said steadily. “A wife—a shadow, you mean. I have no wife, my home is desolate, my heart is empty—no man on earth has less a wife than I.” Her noble, beautiful face dnxqxtl sad­ ly; then he said: "Miss Dpnn. I have more faith in you than.in any one living. Let me tell you my story. Nay, do not shrink from it; there is Dot one word in it which need shock you—let me tell you." She bowed her head in shy assent,,and he went on: "I married a child. I cannot tell you what led to our marriage; that is not my secret. 1 married a child whose very face was strange To the; to my deep and bitter shame. 1 married her because she bad the money which waa needful for me to keep up my state. She wus a girl of noble mind, nnd had I been patient we might in time have been happy. She overheard me. one dny. say to my mother that I wanted the money, nnd not the girl; the words rankled in her mind; they jverc cruel words, I ddmit, but I did not mean them as she thought. We were married and started for Paris for our honeymoon. Miss Dunn, my wife ran away from me on thnt journey, and I have not seen her since; that is more than five years ago. Am I wrong in saying she is a shadow, but no wife? She left a letter bidding me farewell, saying she should be dead to mo for nil time; that 1 had the money nnd should not be troubled with her. Five years passed. During that time I have sought her high and low. far and wide. Surely )ou. who are honor itself, can see no harm in my getting a divorce from what is but a shadowy t!c.” She looked into his face. ••But if you knew her living and well?" she said. “Even then site will never return to me." be said. "She was a -romantic, warm-hearted girl; She would never care to see me again." "Suppose thnt she lives somewhere and loves you?” she said. "There is no possibility of it. If not dead, she is thoroughly alienated from me. Why should I live always dreary, lonely, without wife or child, because it was her whim to leave me? Miss Dunn, you cannot picture my home, in which no woman's fair fare ever shines: you cannot imagine my life—a life withofit love to bless it. Why should it be? I nm no ad­ vocate of divorce—I do not approve of it; but in such a case as this it seems to me there is really no tie to break?' “You married her,” she said after a pause. . “Yes, I married ber; but she chose her­ self to dissolve the contract thnt same day forever." “She could not dissolve it, even though she ran away from yon. It was no more in her power than it is in yours to dis­ solve It-" “Be reasonable," he said. "Do you think that either the laws of God or man com­ mand me to be true to a wife wbo left me on my wedding day. and whom I have never seen since? You cannot believe that." “I do believe it,” she said in a low voice, ber face averted from his. "You will think differently when you have thought for some little time—quite differently. I will not press you now. but I leave my cause in your hands. I shall say nothing to the duchess now. but as soon os I get away I shall write to her. I know beforehand that she will eome to you for advice, that she will be influenced by you. Be my friend—I have had no happiness in my life hitherto; be my friend and help me.” She could not answer, for the next mo­ ment the duchess, looking lovely as a fairy queen, came into the room. The carriage was waiting—they were all going out for a drive. The duchess and Lord Dunhaven talked incessantly; Lady Hilda spoke never a word. (To be continued.) Always Pouring.

ITEMS OF INTEREST TO MIQHlQANDERS A Profit of S7.900.OOQ. The dividends paid to date by fifteen Lake Superior copper mines aggregate $74,860375.

In addition to this the present value of the mines is $60,000,000 at current quotations. Eight of these fifteen mines are yet in active operation. Many old miners ntfirm that some of the abandoned workings if equipped with modern ma­ chinery nnd mills would again make big profits for their owners.

About sev­ enty-five students have usked for, their credits sc. thnt they can finish their work in another school. This is over three times ns many as have ever before asked fOr them. The reason for this, it is claimed, is on account of the fquds in the faculty, the discharge .of Dr. W. A. Campbell and the revival of the old "quiz” sys­ tem. This system wus abolished in 1MMJ by the regent*. but has been in vogue this year, unknown to the regents until com­ plaints were made.

A dispatch to the New York Herald from Rk> Janeiro, Brazil, say* that au­ thentic iufonnation ha* reached that city tu-the effect that more than 3.U00 soldiers have bei*n killed in a big tattle near the site of Canudor. The fnoaties. number­ ing more than 10,000 mciirnll well armed, attacked, tbe Governm’ent troops. Whole brigades of the soldiers were swept down and destroyed, trampled under foot ns the victorious fanatics, with wild, hoarse shouts of triumph. |Missed over them. The full extent of the loss of life counit now be told. Then- is no reasonable doubt, however, that the loss in killed on both sides is more than 3,000. For miles the ground around Canudor is strewn with tin- dead and-dying, the Government troops being compelled to leave their dead on the field and lice to save themselves from complete destraction by the ava­ lanche of the fanatics. When the rejsirt of the awful battle nnn-bed Rio Janeiro it was considered by the president and ministry nnd it wn* decided to send the minister of war to the scene next week with 4,i>H) men, who are now gathering. They will carry with them a great store of ammunition and will endeavor to dis­ lodge the funntii-s from the positions they now hold. Fighting has been in progress at Canudor for several weeks. In the tneantitue, while the fanatics foiigbt ap­ parently with little heart, they have been gathering their-forces from all directions. The result was the final attack on the Government trooi»s. which led to such awful results. ALL OUT IN ROANOKE. Mino Owners Close Their Rhafta to Avoid Trouble with Strikers. The l&eriff Of Wo-idfonl (bounty. III., telegraphed to Gov. John R. Tunner ask­ ing for State troops, ns it was stated that strikers.in large numbers wore marching to Ronnoke to coni|>el the miners to quit work. The Governor refused the request, as no trouble had occurred, but"asked to l>e notified in enw* of disturbance. The night was one such ns Roanoke or Wood­ ford county never witnessed before. All night long Sheriff C. A. Rolteson nnd bis posse of seventy-five a rmoil deputies pa­ trolled tiie town nnd kept guard around the company'* prop<-rty. About 4 o'clock in the morning the lights from the march­ ing men were seen up tln^ Santa Fc । tracks uoith of Roanoke and ntaut a mile ' away the men stopped to investigate as to what kind of n reception they would re- i ccivc. Tiie party was made up of 400 ot 500 men from the mines nt Minonk, Rut- ■ land, Jijyionn, Streator and Toluca. The threats moths by these men were that serious damage might result if they vis­ ited the place and much uneasiness was felt in every quarter. Just after dayIgibt the visitors sent a coinrai’tce to con suit with the officers of the ci»nir»any. It is understood that they informed them that they would remain there until their demands were complied with. The coq> puny then decided to su*|»end operations, giving in completely t» the demands of the miners from the neigbtanng towns. Tin ir l>oint gained, the men left Roanoke quiet­ ly, the sheriff has released his deputies, and peace once- more reigna in the town. Manuel Fcronndex, the young Ameri­ can who was tried by court-muriiai in tbe juil in Havana, chatgt-d with bearing arms against the Bpenish Government, nnd adjudged gnilty*. ha* been sentenced by the tribunal to linprisoumrnt tor life. At the close nt the frini the Government -prosecutor asked that sentence of death be. Imposed, but tbe court suspended the sentence until Wcxlucsdny. when it rec­ ommended life imprisonuM-nt. It is l*eHered that the mitigation of the sentence ut yoimg Fernandes i*.diu* entirely to the great ihterest taken by Consul General 1st- in the-rase and the strong plea made personally by him to Captain General Wcyler. Fernandez, whose father is a Spaniard but n naturalized American citi­ zen and u resident of Key West, Fla., was scarcely 18 years old when* he joined a filibustering 'expedition and went to Cuba two years ago. A few days after landing the expiMlltion was overtaken by *n company of Hpitfilsh troopa under Col. Ochoa, anil Fernandez, with *cveral comIianions.

English Government Will Do Noth­ ing for Mr*. Maybrick. The British Government hn* again de­ clined to interfere in the execution of the sentence of Mrs. Florence Maybrick, on, the ground that there is to reason for n change of Judgment in the matter. The last effort to secure at least an ameliora­ tion in the conditions of her confinement was made by Ambassador Hey. who had some correspondence on the Subject with the foreign office, which he ba* trans­ mitted to the State Department. Lord Salisbury appears to have called for a re­ port in the case from Secretary Ridley and the’latter regretfully stated that he was unable, in view of the conclusion which had been reached l»y himself nnd by his predecessor as to Mrs. Maybrick's guilt, to recommend to her majesty any exceptional treatment should l>e accorded t<> her. Secretary Ridley also added that the medical report hi Mrs. Maybrick’s case was quite satisfactory, an evidence that the Government does not credit any of the statement,* a* to tbe insanity of the prisoner. Ftrlkers Hope to Succeed. Lively times arc promised in the coal­ mining situation soon. A crisis, is im­ pending. This is conceded on all sides. The arbitration commissioners, on the one side, feel hopeful that they will bring ataut the Initiative for a settlement. The miners' officials, on the other hand, claim to have adopted measures tliut will make a complete tie-up. 11 has developed that many of the West Virginia-miners nre awaiting word from the Pittsburg district nnd especially from the, New York and Cleveland mines. They want to hear of the miners in these mines having joined the general suspension. This, it is claim­ ed by the officers, will bring all tbe faltering ones in West Vir­ ginia into line, thus making the strike effective in that it will shut off the supply of coal. To accomplish this ar­ rangements have boon made for Eugene V. Debs nnd other prominent officials to hold a meeting in Pittsburg for the benefit of the New York nnd Cleveland miners. It is Intended to strike a final, decisive blow and, if possible, make the tie-up complete. Should the Westmoreland min­ ers lie brought ou{ there nre fears for serious trouble at De Arndt's mines. Re|w>rts from the coke regions indicate that the cokers will not .likely come out. The Bonn) of Arbitrators report matters quiet, waiting er. the result of the meeting to­ morrow, which they claim to think means much toward the result of the proposed settlement of the strike by arbitration. Au effort is being made to ha$e as many river men attend the meeting a* possible. Nuns Fail for the Yukon.

The dogs, however, live on next to noth­ ing nnd often make astonishing time. The relative value placed on men and dogs is shown by tbe faet that I could get an expcrienced mnti for my trip to Klondyke for nothing, but had to pay 930 rental for a dog and had to tpuke a contract to pay $73 if .anything happened to th* animal.” Miss Fulcomflr gives a good report of the manners nnd morals of the camps.

"There nre only four mining months— May, June, July and August—and even then the ground never thaws out more thnn two or two and one-half inches. Th-' rest of the year the soil is like a solid rock.

He had formerly bceri coachman to Count Sheremetief, but in 1840 was sent to Siberia, where he spent 54 years, returning in 1894. His is not the only Instance in which a Siberian exile has survived to extreme old age. Two years ago there was said to have died in Samara one Lavarehtil Efimoff, who _had attained the age ci ISO. Ac­ cording to the newspaper reports of liltil he took part as a boy in the famous Fugatchef rebellion in the reign of Catherine the Great, and for his shore in that brief but sanguinary outbreak spent 30 years of his life in Siberia.

It is proposed by the lord of the treasury to commute the payment of £ 242 15a, which is annually paid to the holder of the ancient office of heritable usher of Scotland. The office, says the London Mail, was originally conferred on Alexander Cockburn, of London, and his heirs, by an act of parliament in Scotland in 1393, and the original grant was con­ firmed by subsequent acts of the Scot­ tish parliament in 1081 and 1686, the latter act attaching a salary of £250 a year to the office, but certain statu­ tory deductions have reduced the amount now payable to £ 242 15a. In 1805 the office, with the salary, being a heritable subject capable of being assigned away, was acquired by Sir Patrick Walker for £7,600, a sum equivalent to 31% years’ purchase of the. salary. In 1890, the question whether tbe grant was permanently binding woa submitted to the law offi­ cers of the crown In ‘Scotland, who stated that in their opinion it was le­ gally binding, as resting on a series of acts of the Scots parliament. No duties of an onerous kind are or have been required for a long time from the holder of the office, and it is now proposed to commute the payment It is perhaps not generally known, says the New York Sun, even in Brooklyn, that persons of respect­ able appearance may travel on the street cars of that city when they have no money. A woman who has left her purse at home, or a man who has spent all his change speculating in stocks, if ordinarily well dressed, has only to tell the conductor the condi­ tion of affairs, on boarding a car, to get carried to any deaired point. The conductor gives the penniless passen­ ger an envelope addressed to the office of the company in which to forward later the lacking nickel. This is done as a matter of counae, and only a pas­ senger who looks disreputable meets with refusal. This system has beenJn operation some time, which is apparent proof that the passengers who thus get trusted for their fares use the envelopes given them for the purpose for which they are intended. The story is going.tjxe rounds now of a young man who visited the Tapley school one day to see a teacher. He got hold of tbe fire alarm, thinking it to be a door bell, and gave it a good ring.

"Do yon really moan It—most I-ady Darel know?” world once more. CHAPTER XXIX.—(Continued.) ** Now Indeed the crisia of her life was nt fcaad; it seemed to her that her silence was sin. Wai she to stand by and see ber huslmnd marry Lurline? She knew it could not Im* a marriage. What was she tn do? Bitterly, and from the depth of ber heart, she repented of her error in leaving him. One thing was quite cer­ tain—harm enough had bten done, there must be no more. What could sbe-do? Was ever fate so cruel—was ever wife placed'so strangelybefore? 8he had but one hope, and it was that the duchess herself would not be willing. She hnd heard her speak very strongly against divorce. That would save all trouble, if the duchess herself would refuse to consent. But wouid The carl went away that same evening, and three days afterward the letter came. Duchess Lurline brought it to her. “You must-read this, Mamie." she said. **I would not answer It until you had Ah, such a letter; To be so loved was more than Jife—such a letter! Lady Hil­ da’s ryes grew dim with.tears ns she read it. and the thorn In -her heart- grew aharp- “There can be but-one answer to such a letter, Lurline.” she said gently. The fair face brightened. “I am glad you soy so. 1 had decided in my own mind, but I thought I would arc what you said.” “Y’ou cannot marry him while he has a wife living.” said Lady Hilda. "1 mistook you. I do not call that shadow a wife, anil I shall marry him whenever he wishes,” •said the duchess defiantly- "I do not like, divorces,, but this case differs from all others. Noth­ ing will change my opinion, and I am ready to marry him now." • GHAPSER XXX. Without another word the Duchess Lurline turned away with the letter in her hand, while Lady Hilda sat down with despair in her heart; it was quite useless to say more, her only hope bad lain in the duchess’ refusal, knowing her dislike to divorces; now that hope was ended, nnd she stood face to face with‘reality. The days and weeks were like one dream of pain to her; the carl c4me twice and they talked quite freely of their future before her; they discussed it, where they should live, what place they preferred; there were no secrets. She had read of the extremity of human suffering; she had read of men being brok­ en on the wheel, torn on tbe ruck, but it ■joined to her no one hud ever suffered as ■he did while she listened to them. It must not be. Her temptation was to go away and leave them, to let them marry, and hide herself from them forever; but there was her conscience—she could not drown it, she could not deafen it. It spoke,loudly, aud she must listen; her con­ science {old her there wns but one thing, only one way, and it was to make herself known. The duchess gave elaborate orders for her trousseau; June passed, it was tbe mid­ dle of July, still Lady Hilda had not found courage to make her appeal. She must do it, she saw no possible way out of the difficulty—there was nothing but death or disclosure. She could not stand by and .see Lord Dunhaven marry the duchess, while sh(\Jil.s wife, was still liv­ ing—that sift? c'dlilunot do. The only al­ ternative was to tell the duchess all and throw herself on her mercy—tell ho% the truth aud than she would see herse'.f that the marriage was quite Impossible. It was the end of July when a letter from the earl announced his coming. "1 hope to be with you to-morrow," he ■wrote, "although my movements are very uncertain. I am going to Havcndale: I think of asking you to spend our honey­ moon there." The duchess read that sentence to Lady Hilda, who answered never a word; she was stunned by tbe near approach of the tragedy. “He likes to surprise me," said Duchess T-urlinc, “and I want to talk to you about my marriage. Y’ou must interest yourself, you must listen. Although I am just twenty I cannot dress like a bride; I sup­ pose there can be no pretty veil and wreath for me. I must Lave a bonnet. How old I shall feel In a bonnet!" Then she looked up in utter wonder, for Toidy Hilda bad fallen on her knees at her feet, with passionate tears and pas­ sionate cries. ■ "I cannot bear it!” she cried. Oh, heaven, help me to tell her! I cannot Nothing b'ut passionate tears answered her—nothing but passionate erica. "You traitorf ate repeated. "You hare lived under my roof, smiled In my fac*. called yourself my friend, knowing this! But I do not Mier* it! J will not Lelieve it-it is all falser CHAPTER XXXI. "Listen to mo, Lurline; you have never found me false, treacherous or untrue. Why should-1 have told you my secret? When I went to live with you in that gloomy northern abbey there was no thought then of your ever coming to Lon­ don: bow should I know that you would meet my husband or that he would love you? Be just; I hage suffered enough, fur. I love him." "Then why did you leave him?" asked the duchess. • “lM*t me tell you my story," said I^ady Hilda; "then you will understand." Kneeling nt the young girl's feet, she told her nil, every detail, what she had suffered through her love, her pain, her struggle—tbe moat pitiful story that wom­ an ever hnd to tell. When she had fin­ ished she looked info Lurline's face. "Are you angry with me now?" she said. "1 never meant to make myself known. I meant to keep my word in all honesty and be dead to him for all time. The only thing that could have forced my secret from' me was the fear and hor­ ror of sin. I could not see you marry him. because I knew there could be no such marriage while I lived." "Yon should have told me; It was so cruel, for I love-him, too. I love him with all my heart, and now I have lost him—it was cruel." She wrung her hands-with a cry of de­ spair that Lady Hilda never forgot. Then they jioth started and stood erect, for Leonard, Ix>rd Dunhaven, had anticipated bis journey by a day: be had entered the room and stood there, silent and bewil­ dered. “Lurline, darling, what Is it?” ho cried. He opened his arms and she bid her face on his breast. “Leonard, Miss Diinn says that she is your wife, Hilda Dunhaven, and that you can never marry me; yon must choose be­ tween us: b. re is the woman who desert­ ed you, and here th<* woman who loves you; choose between us." “Ain I going mad, Lurline? and Is the whole world mad? My wife?" He wefat up to her. the duchess watch­ ing him with jealous eyes; he took her hands from her face, and looked earnestly In it. "My wife!" he said again. "Hilda, are you Indeed my wife?" She raised her eyes to him. "Yes," she said sadly, "I am indeed your most unhappy wife, Hilda Dunhaven.” He stood rooted to tbe ground with amazement. “My wife! nnd I'have known nnd seen you all this time, and yet did not recog­ nize you?" "I am sorry,” she said; and the sadness in ber voice was so great that it brought she said, “I wish I could hare died. Death would have been the-most wel­ come friend to hold out his hand to be. but I cannot die. and I dared not stand by in silence while this wrong was done. My life has been all pain, but this—of bring­ ing inyseU-hnek to you. of telling you that I live, of standing between you nnd your marriage—thia is the keenest pain of all." Lord Dunharen looked from one to the other—these two beautiful women who both loved him. one of whom he loved; it was impossible to tell which was most beautiful—tbe queenly, royal woman whose exquisite face was bowed with shame, or the fair young duchess whose eyes were full of love. "May heaven help vs all!” he said. "There was never sp strange a fate. I— I am lost, bewildered. Ob. Hilda, this all seems wrong. Lurline, I know not what A new spirit came orer the duchess, a new light shone on her beautiful fact*, ‘something of the grand spirit of a grand race stirred in her heart. “One of us must suffer," she said*; “it must Im* I. Y’ou, whom God joined togeth­ er, no man shall put asunder. Leonard, Lady Hilda is your wife; I can be nothing to you; she Is true to you. Even if you would be divorced from her, you cannot: there la no ground'for it; neither would I hare it so. You will learn to love ber and forget me." "I shall never forget you. Lurline," he cried, in a passion of despair. "You must forget me now. Try to love yonr wife, Leonard; she is beautiful and good; she loves you. I will leave you now. Do not ask for me again. I am going to my own room to say my prayers, to ask God to help me to forget you; and He will, I know He will.' «,She went up to him, all the brarcry and nubility of her race shining in her eyes. "We have loved each other very much, Leonard?’ she said, gently, “but you sec. dear, it was not to t>e. Kiss me before I go, just as you should kiss me if you saw me lying dead.” ' He took her in his arms, and the tears that fell from his eyes on her face were no disgrace to his manhood; be loved her so well. He laid his lips on hers for one half minute. "Good-by, my love," be said, “good-by.” Her arms dung round him, her lips clung to bls; then she repeated the words: "Good-by, my love, good-by." The next moment she bad passe<l from his sight, and the name of Lurline, Duch­ ess of Naira had become to him a memory end a dream. Hia wife went up to him, pale, grave, collected. “I am very sorry," she said; “no words can tell you how sorry. You love her, The. duchess grew very pale and grave. -'‘What is It?" she cried. “You frighten me. Has anything happened to—him?" Such passionate cries, such bitter tears, •uch a white, woful face! "Do not frighten me." said the duchess; “tell mo what ts wrong. Have I grieved you by speaking of my marriage?" Then the white arms clung around her and a hot rain of tedrs fell on her. "My darling, do not speak, do not think •of your marriage; it can never be. Let me tell you, and yet, oh, it would be easier lo die. Lurline. If 1 could die. I would; if I dared kill myself, 1 should not tell you. 1 would rather hare suffered any death than have lived to tell you this. I must tell you. Lord Dunharen spoke •to you of his wife—did he not?" "That shadow," said the duchess, scorn­ fully. "What Is she to you, that you /should always think of her?" ' "Can you not guess, Lurline?" “No. I cannot guess. What is she to 3Tou, this girl? Why do you speak of her? Do you know anything of her? Tell me. /You most see that suspense tortures me. Do you know her''" "Yas, 1 know her, Lurline. Ah, great heaven, how well! He told you who she .was—Lady Hilda Dunharen, the old earl's daughter. Oh, Lurline. darling, do your life to come between you.” He looked at her so royally beautiful, so 1>1* wife.’’ ' graceful, so queen-Uke, and he thought There was one minute of dead silence; to himself how other men would lore and then tbe duchess, all white aud trem­ bling. unclasped the arms from her neck had loved him. pnd flung them from her. She sank into "Hilda," be said gently, “I have given a chair that stood near her. you no warm words of welcome, but I am “You! You traitor!" she said. "You glad to see yon. I have repented sincere­ traitor! I will not believe It! You are ly of my cruel words, and 1 have thought s»ot his wife'* so much of you.” The wisest thing house and ask her to go with you to Harendale. I prefer that you-should go to Havcndale;- it is quite as much your home as mine." ‘ "And you?" she said ‘softly, looking at -him with tender, wistful eyes. “I must go where 1 can cure myself,” he said, "where I enn bear my most bitter smart alone; afterward I shall come to you; until then, Hilda, good-by." He bent down and kissed her forehead, gently, gravely, not with the love he had shown the duchess. "Time does much," be said; "it may bring us together again; HHda. we will trust to it.” Before sunset that evening there was no one left at Holmdale but tbe duchess, and she kept her room. Words are too weak to express I^idy Darel's surprise when she saw her son's wife. Her wel­ come was a kindly one. No one expressed any surprise that the young Countess of Dunhaven hnd return­ ed. h was understood that she had re­ mained abroad for her health: but now that she was well and strong, she had re­ turned. She went to Havcndale with Lady Dare!, and in a short time was quite at home there. She hnd a great love for this grand old place, where her mother's brief married life hnd been spent, and where she died. It was the first bouse that had ever been a home to her. She was horrified one day tn read of the death of tbe beautiful Lady Dnnchild of HUde Manor House, who was drowned while bathing. She laid the paper down and prayed: “Why shall" I hide from Thy judgments, O God, or deceive Thee?" CHAPTER XXXII. The Countess of Dunhaven bad spent • year at Havendale,'and during that year she had made herself much beloved. Lady Darel remained with her: they were the best of friends. Lady Hilda yielded to her.- tetided her, nursed her when she was alcls. amused her when she was well, un­ til her ladyship bad grown so fond of her son's wife that she could not bear to be parted from her. “How mistaken I wns over yon, Hilda!" she said: “I enn never forgive myself." At .Inst her gentle wisdom, her patience, her submission, were rewarded. The day eatue—a bright June flay—when Leonard, Earl .of Dunhaven, once more sought his home. He had schooled himself, he had made the best use of his life’s discipline; he longed-to be at bume nnd to interest himself in hia various duties once more. He hnd thought a great deal about hia wife—perhaps one great charm lay in tho words "his wife.’" How well she had lov­ ed him, how generous she hnd been in giv­ ing up ber fortune that he might enjoy it, how self-sacrificing she hnd been in leav’ ing him. how through all those years she had loved him, how she must have suffer­ ed when she saw bls love given to an­ other! She was beautiful—more queenly than the duchess; she was of a higher and nobler nature, yet he had loved the duch­ ess well. She was not heart-broken: he hnd henrd of her in Purls; it was said that n great Russian prince was in love with her, and would most probably reward her. He had heard that rumor, and though at first it had pained him. he had come to think that it was, after nil. the best thing. On this bright June day be went to HavendaSe to seek a reconciliation with his wife. She had gone out. Lady Darel said, to her favorite spot, the great willow down by the lake; she liked to sit there and watch the dear water. He went after her, and “the first intimation that Lady Hilda had of his coming was that he was by her side. She looked beautiful as a dream, in a long dress of soft, creamy ijiik. with blush­ roses in her hair and on her breast. She ,uttered no cry when she saw him com­ ing; his coming there was but the ful­ fillment of a dream. “Hilda," he said, taking both her handa in his. "my dear wife. I have come back to seek a reconciliation with you. Will you forgive me all ?he pain and sorrow I caused you?" It was tbe hour she bad foreseen in her dreams." “Will yon let me, by the devotion of my whole life, atone to you for the misery of these past years? I bring you n true, honorable lore, dear; I bring you a true heart. Will you try me, Hilda? I have learned to love you at laat." Words sweeter in ber ears than song of birds, words for which she had prayed and longed—the time had come at last, after all ber suffering and all ber pain. For answer she raised her white arms and laid them on his neck; she raised her fare and kissed his lips. “Heaven has been very good to me, she said; “I nm quite content.” They went to Italy for their honey­ moon. While they were there there came the wedding cards of the Duchess of Naira, who, after much persuasion, had married the Russian prince. Hilda was happy ail tbe rest of her life: for now, in very truth, indeed, _tha thorn was taken from her heart. (The end.) ■nd thin again wa« faced w1th_ple«tcd muslin.

A man who has tried a small bouse of this kind says of the one he built: It Is G feet square and 6 feet high at tbe eaves, which is large enough for the milk of two or three cows. The house Is built SUMMER MH.KBOV8E. under a large grape arbor, about 20 feet from my kitchen pump. The milk tank, which is 12 inches deep snd 14 inches wide at the top,' extends along tbe Dorth side. It has a screen cover, which may be covered with cloth In very hot or dusty weather. A table with a shelf underneath ochuplerYhe ■outheast corner. A space just above tbe level of the tank, 2 feet wide and extending on all sides of the bouse, is covered with wire screen. Shelves above the screen and bdow the tank give sufficient room for milk and butter dishes. Tbe milk is set in pails. A gal­ vanized iron pij>e leads from a small tank at the side of the pump down I# Inches below tbe surface of the ground, across the 20 foot space and up again to the level of the tullk tank. An over­ flow pipe at the other end of the tank carries off the water after it has reach­ ed the proper height in tbe tank. An­ other pipe, at the bottom of the tank, is used for emptying It when desired. Handling a Balky Fodder Crop. In cutting ensilage or fodder, a llttle work transferred from hand to horse power often goes a great way to lessen expense. In the Illustration, which is taken from Farm and Home, a simple method Is shown of unloading fodder or hay. Two ropes about 50 feet long, depending on the length of the rack and height of load to be drawn, are used, one end of each being fastened to tbe hind axle of tbe wagon. They are then passed back nnd over Jbc top of the rack between the two outer boards on either loading, the ropes mny back under the outside of the rack and fastened almost any place on the rear part. When the load is completed, the ropes are drawn over the fodder and tied to the back of the rack, acting In VXLOADIXG. FODDER MADE EASY. the capacity of a binding pole. To un­ load, fasten tbe ropes to a beam, and with the team draw the wagon slowly out from under the lond. The first few times may Dot always prove success­ ful. bnt with a little practice the wagon may be unloaded In a few minutes. It does not matter much how creak­ ed the little stream may be that mean­ ders through pasture lands. But If the field is to be cut for hay, or especially If It Is desired to use the laud for plow­ ing, It is important to have the brook straightened, so as to take os little room as possible. In many places a straight, deep ditch, cut to lead off a stream that only runs in the spring, may be profitably turned Into ap under­ drain. A space a foot square each way, with an even fall, will carry off an Im­ mense amount of water. If large, flat stones can be got for covering and heavy stone for siding such a drain is not -expensive. The convenience of plowing over it and the land saved will make It pay. ■’ of pruning for n single year is ^pv<r lots than a serious injury to any milt tree.

Every observer can see that this is true: but many orchards k The fact tliat in wet weather the soil dries slowly even when covered With plants that •ordinarily drain the soil rapidly, lends some to think that when wet the leaves absorb moisture on them. But the fact can be equally well accounted for by the knowledge that water on the leaven prevents them from evaporating the moisture brought from tbe soil by roots. This soil con­ tains some mineral elements which unite with carbonic acid gas from tbe air in forming plant tissue. While the leaves are wet they cannot absorb car­ bonic acid gas. TIQh with the effect of stopping evaporation, makes the sapy growth which many, jumping too quickly nt conclusions, think must be caused by the direct absorption of wa­ ter through tbe leaves. . Most of our American varieties of grapes are very strong growers, and will not bear the severe pruning to which German nnd French vineyard1st* subject their vines. We plant our vines further apart than do European vintners, • and must leave proportion­ ally more wood. As the vines grow older It Is generally found necessary to take out alternate vines so as to let each vine oocupy twice-the trellis space originally allotted to IL Vines thus treated are much less Mabie to mildew. At tiie tvune time some root pruning Is advisable by cultivating more deep­ ly. and keeping the roots of the vines where they will be less nffectcd by sudden changes of temperature that, usually precede attacks of mildew and grape rot. _________________ bronriit an Immwliate r«*q*<>u»«* from | Chief 8w»nlv, who started engine cotn1. hi chaw of Assistant PARTIALLY OBSCURES ■. panic* 40. 42 j Chief Campion. un n gailpp t>» the qujfkOLD SOL. ly prepared special of the Michigan tral.

Louis Fierro Mouillard, a French res­ ilient of Cairo, has, says the Philadel­ phia liecord, invented' a flying machine. itbocs, attached to the body of the avi­ ator and arranged to permit movement bf the planes In a horizontal direction only with refdrence to the body of the aviator, the apparatus depending sole­ ly for support upon wind pressure, and not upon any downward thrust upon the air, either by flapping wings or re­ volving propeller wheels. To a breast­ plate, provided with an artificial stern­ um, are hinged wings, each on a vertical axis, so as to bo capable of forward or backward motion, the wing frames of aluminum tubing l>cing covered with silk pr other suitable fabric. When the planes are thrust forward the aero­ drome rises; when they ore pulled back it descends. The wings are controlled by a spring, upon which, the ifiventor says, “the life of the aviator depends," nnd which must be strong enough to hold the two wings with their edges <?n a straight line at a speed of 22 miles an hour. The aeroplane can glide upon the uir by a fall from a height sufficient to lowed to lecture at any German univeraity. _________ Consul General De Kay writes for the Century a paper on the Serbian swamp V endland, under "the title of “An In­ land Venice.” Mr. De Kay says: “These people speak German to the lording* as we puss Vendish to our boatman, but the Vendish is disappearing because, for the sake of the army, its teaching is discouraged. Throughout all this dis­ trict, far over into Saxony, only a few churches still offer sermons in the old tongue. Yet if the Vendish tongue disappears the names of places trill tell the talc, even as such names as Brandenburg and Saxony still do. Dresden, Leipsic, these are Vendish words—or call them Slavic, with the broader term that now means tbe race.

"This is a curious custom you Amer­ icans have of referring to your wives by their husbands' names," observed Glanvock Kaplon, nn intelligent Rus­ sian traveler, says the St. Louis Repub­ lic. “I suppose the /American holds hi* wife in as'high esteem as the Russian holds his, but if at home I should speak of my butter. half as Mr*. Kaplon my friends would At once conclude that my domestic relations were not as pleas­ ant as they should be, and that I was thinking of a legal separation. When I first heard an American speak of his wife os Mrs. Jones, for example, I felt almost like presuming on my acquaint­ ance by intruding into his private af­ fair* and asking him what the trouble was at home.

In some of th*, more faahionolile circles of St. Petersburg this American social custom has been adopted, though I was told by a prom­ inent government official not Long ago Acuuruing to an “absolutely unim­ peachable authority,” a writer in tho Westminster Gazette relates how tho Irish song: “The Wearing of the Green" was recently sung in Windsor castle. The queen, it upiwars, request­ ed a young Irish lady who was visiting the castle to sing an Irish song. She went to the piano and sang "Tho Wearing of the Green” and, according to tho story told, her majesty was touched by the pathos of the song and burst into tears. The writer continues: ‘‘Ah!’ said my eminent informant, “you little know the depth of the queen’s sympathy for the Irish and tho tenderness of her heart.’ ’’ - , Of Matthew Arnold aa a school-exam­ iner the author of "Pages from a Pri­ vate Diary” has this to say: “Arnold’s reports are very good reading, but his methods of examination were Mimetimea highly poetical. I remember a tale told by a fellow-inspector of a class of girl-pupil teachers that he asked Arnold to examine for him. Ar­ nold gave them all the ’excellent’ mark. ‘But,’ said the other inspector, ‘surely some must be better t£an others.' ’Per­ haps that, is so,’ replied Arnold, "but then, you sed, they are al! such very AYER’S P AT KLEINMANS 10c 124c, 15c Dimities 15c and 18c Mulls 0c Ginghams 50c Ladles' Shirt Waists 75c •1.00 cut to 8c. 40C (JOc 80c KLEINHANS When my friends *»k me what ia the best remedy for disorder* of the stom­ ach, liver, or bowels, my invariable answer is, Ayer’s Pills.

Waldo of the Hansleman Can­ dy Co., of Kalamazoo, was next on the program for an ocarina solo, and was accompanied by a mandolin and gui­ tar quartette, composed of Roscoe and Newton, Geo. Hackett and Byron Barnum. A gtxxl many people do not know what kind of an Instrument an ocarina Is, and a good many more nev­ er heard one played, but those .who were present Friday evening and heard Mr. Waldo manipulate the “potato” can safely say that he is a thorough master of it. He was compelled to play two selections. Ed. Rosenbaum then came on for another selection and Dieased the audlencefof“Just Five Minutes,Please.” The mandolin and guitar quartette, comtxjsed of G.H. Hackett, C. D. Waido, Roscoe and Newton appeared again and were heartily encored, after which the Bohemian quartette sang “Kentucky Babe,” by Banks, and, “Irish Melody” by Root. E. C. Adams came on again for half air hour, and through his many tricks held the audience spell-bound. The magic In him seemed to.be thoroughly aroused and it seemed as though he was master of anything, doing tricks that would lay Horman or Kellar In the shade, with an easy air, which proves Mr. Adams a master'of the mysteries of sleight-of-hand work. He Is continually devising new tricks and does all of his work in plain sight and Without mechanical aid. . Fred Hire foHowcd with a trick, assisted by Geo. Bowman, which was yery clever, indeed, after which B. J. Hecox accomplished his clever “Jack in the box” trick, to the entire satisfaction of all. H. Mellon gave a bear dance and Wesley Moore pleased the audience with a sanding shuffle, and the entertainment was over. After the entertainment was over and the audience had wended their way home, the traveling men, with a number of invited guests, repaired to the, I- O. O. F. hall, where'a banquet was held, the refreshments being served by the ladies of Juanita lodge, D.oflt Geo. .A. Hartom acted as toastmaster, and a number of eloquent witty toasts were given. C. L. Giasgow, In behalf of the village, welcorned the commercial men In his usual easy manner. Geo. Murphy of Grand Rapids responded In a very clever talk which occasioned considerable laughter, and a number of others were glad they were present, and taken all in all the banquet was a hugh success In every particular, and everyone who attended was glad of it. The boys all expressed themselves as MW highly pleased with the time they had and all left feeling that Nashville had done the right thing by them and afforded them an opportuoIty for a good time, which they speedily grasped. -VERMONTVILLE’S CELEBRATION. simply fell into a sleep and quietly succumbed to the inevitable.

The floral offerings were simply beau­ tiful and were pronounced by all who saw them to be the finest display ever witnessed at a funeral* in Nashville.

VanWagner of this place, was a former reslderft of Nashville, moving away about four years ago and later going Grand Rapids, where he has since been employed by the street car company, acting a* motorman and conductor on Wealthy avenue and Cherry street. He will be remem­ bered as the patentee of the Herrick ironing table which had an extensive sale in the state, and also as a n in­ dustrious and jolly good fellow who numbered his friends by everyone who knew him.

The Traveling Men Met With a A large number of our people ac­ companied the band and ball team to Vermontville last Saturday, where they t^ok part in the celebration which occurred at that place. As we stated in our last issue the date was set for last week Wednesday but on account of the wet day it was post­ poned until Saturday.' The day was an ideal-one and Vermontville was ciowded with people. The sports In •the forenoon consisted of running, jumping, etc., and In the afternoon, bicycle races and the ball game be­ tween Eaton Rapids and Nashville. The ball game was one of the finest ever played In this vicinity and was a fight from start to finish. Eaton RapIds was down en masse and brought with them all of the good players from that end of the state, including a third baseman from the F. &. P. M. team und Webber, the crack state league pitcher, besides other good players, but it was not destined for them to win and they didn’t. Samuel Damoth of Hastings and Dick Poff-accompanied our boys and officiated at the points. The first three Innings was productive of very clever ball playing on both sides and Eaton Rapids hae not been able to get a man around the bases, while but one Nashville man had scored. In this Inning a jangle occurred that delayed the game about half ah hour and resulted in a change of umpire*, The gentleman who had been officialIng in this capaqity, evidently wanted to belp his team all he could and calledfHough out on second for cutting first base, after he had admitted that he did not see him do it. Ed. Barber then went in to umpire and finished the game to the entire satisfaction of all. Only twice during the game did Eaton Rapids get a man on third, and at no time were they in the game to any extent,’pnd finally when the smoke of the rub game died away it was found that Nashvllld had scored live runs and Eaton Rapids none. After the ball game the bicycle races came oil and were very exciting. Morross brothers of Detroit and riders from Lansing were present E. A. Morross won first in all open events and E. H. Fuller of Vermontville second, except in the ten mile road.race which was won by E. H. Fuller with Clarence Durban of Vermontville second, The day was closed by a dance at the opera house and everybody who attended felt well repaid for their time in attending. ______ �take BoJdwoxi’s child to T’ asked Bplliington, as- toundcd.

It has often been wondered that Yan­ kee ingenuity has not long since dis­ covered a way to modify the heat of our houses In summer.

The stove can be cooled so that if a hand be placed upon it the skin will In­ stantly be strlpped/M In contact uflth hot Iron. • It Is claimed that with this stove the temperature of a room in hot­ test weather can be run down to any point desired.

There never was a greater error. Endurance Is often so contemptible ns to rank ,wRb cowanllci*. Evil is tbe enemy of progress In manners nnd moral*. The endurance wlilch tolerates evil Is n defect worthy of the strongest effort to overcome It. It takes courage, time, patience, faith to take r. stand and make n flglrt agnlnst evil, whether the evil Is threat­ ening the nation’s prosperity or Indi­ vidual rights and comforts. We have lu all communities laws that exist for the protection of the law­ abiding cit Isens—bls protection not only of life nnd property, but of comfort, of health, of morals. .. The laws are for the whole eommu•ity. for nil ages nnd each sex. They are constautly v loin ted. Why? Because endurance, not in the guise of virtue, but in Its common erery-<tay garb of weakness. Indifference and laziness, permits these violations, refusing to see tiie moral degradation that ensues. Righteous wrath that would express Itself openly would put down many evils iu their first stages, which, en­ dured, create and strengthen them­ selves and allied evils, compelling tbe expenditure of men. money and years of time to overcome.

The demands uf the men were made known to the officials and one men who had l>ecn working for two hours as if they were well content. A hundred men quit work at quarry No. 1 of the Western Stone Company at la­ ment and Inaugurated the strike. They marched to the five other quarries of the company and their arrival at each was a signal for the workmen to Join ^hcra.

In Joliet this method was duplicated. The employes of the Western Stone Com­ pany. against which the men were most bister, started the movement and gather; ed committee* to enlist sympathy and as­ sistance.

The cilixens of Chicago are manifesting adtepoaition to be liberal. .. * In Illinois the mine operators have prac­ tically conceded the victory of the miners in the greet snspsuaion. Of the 39,000 miners nnd mine laborers employed iu the State fully 99.000 have already laid down their tools. Only two mines are reported to be nt work north of Duqunin.

Concerning it be says: Tbe Injunction Issued by Judge Jackson Is substantially tbe same as that Issued bj* Judge Mason. liy Its1 provisions I am en­ joined from walking on tbe public highways which lead to the mines, and os all the highways lead to the mines I am subject to arrest the Instant I enter the State.

Patrick Dolan, the Pennsylvania Strike Lender, Haa Determined to Arouse the ’Whole Country on the Qneatioo. Do Not Fear Arrest. The striking miners nt Canonsburg, I’n., have determined to force the.Injunction issue by continuing the daily marehes and meetings In the neighborhood of the Mc­ Govern and Canonsburg mines, in spite of the order of Judge Mcliwaine of Wash­ ington. forbidding marches on the public roads leading to the mines. The purpose is to have the men arrested in order to test the legality of the injunction. Patrick Dolan stated that it had been determined to keep up the marches, nnd as fast as one group is attested another will take Us place, until there will be so many of them in jail that the public opinion of tbe com­ munity and country will be aroused on the queutlou of the alleged new form of in­ junction. In this movement the support of all the leading trades unions of the country is said to have been pledged as a .result of a seeret meeting nt Columbus during the Inst three days, and which was presided over by Samitel Gomj>ers, presi­ dent of the American Federation of La­ bor. Information has l>uen received by the Pittsburg operators that the miners of the Bell, Lewis * Yates company have struck in the Reynoldsville Geld, nnd that all the mines of the company are idle. The company is one of the heaviest tonnage priHlucers in the northern field, nnd nhijis extensively to the-Buffalo and New York State market?, as well as to the Eastern seaboard coaling dock*- About 8,000 men are employed. DRIVING SHEEP OVERLAND. Flock of 80,000 Head on the Way from Oregon to Kansas. J. A. Knowlin, a live stock commission merchant of Kansas City, has fought in Oregon 80,000 sheep, which are now being driven overland to Kansas, where they will be fed next winter and marketed the following spring. This immense herd has been divided into twelve bands, each of which is driven by eight men. The sheep are allowed to graze along the roadside each day. The drivers arc furnished with horses t;nd camping outfit and while the sheep rest nt night the shepherds sleep in tents. The bands are driven nlwut twelve miles nintrt nnd Mr. Knowlin expects to reach Kansas with the sheep by^October. By driving ‘the sheep overland instead of shipping them by rail the commission merchant will save perhaps $G0,09O. ns the transportation .charges frt»m Oregon to Kansas amount lo^l a head.

On the »urt«M or failure of the Htaminous coal miners’ strike depends the incep­ tion of a movement by the anthracite min­ era for higher wages and better eondltiohs. District Presklent Patrick D'»1B3 ami the other officials of the United Mine Workers’ organization have recrired sev­ eral letters within tbe last WW days from, different parts of tire Pennsylvania an­ thracite coal region asking for informa­ tion as to the outlook for the big strike and wanting to know what assurances of victory they have. If the bituminous min­ ers win, tire anthracite diggers think they^ wotrtd hare an equal chance of securing an advance in wages. If the present strike is loirt the attempt for an advance will not Ire made in the anthracite region. Tire anthracite-miners are jioorly organ­ ize-!. At one time their union was strong, but disastrous strikss, in which the men were beaten, resuited in a gradual shrink­ age in the union. The United Mine Work­ ers' officials have sent cheerful news in response to the^request for nn opinion on the outcome of their strike. The intention of the anthracite miners is to get together as many of their fellow Avorknren ns jx>ssiide before any demand for higher wages is made, and, looking to thia end, organ­ izers will begin work nt once. WOMEN DRAWN FOR JURORS Newest Phaae o' Suffrage Movement in Kansas. In the drawing of the regular and addi­ tional jury panels for the September term of the District Court for Fort Scott, Ka'n., tire names of three prominent women were among tlie list of jurors. The wom­ en are Mrs. A. Kaufman, Mrs. A. M. Douglass and Mrs. M. E. Rosa. ■ The women ow n property and pay taxes and the names were drawn In tire same man­ ner a# men arc drawn. The State law provides that nil taxpayers who are elec­ tors are eligible for jury service, and as women are electors in municipal elections they are no doubt eligible. Several prom­ inent attorneys are of the opinion they will have to serve unless excused by the court. Legal Fquabb e in Sight. Judge Myers of the Kansas District Court, having declared that the Lekvenworth, Topeka and Southwestern Rail­ way Company has forfeited its right of way, is having no little trouble in his ef­ forts to restore the realty involved to the previous owners. This line of road, though in the hands of a receiver, is now operat­ ed. by the Santa Fe system. In 1896 traffic on the line was abandoned for two months, au<l, owing to this fact. Judge Myers decided that J. G. Stone, a farmer, nns entitled to possession nnd title to the right of way which was taken from him in the building of the line. Accordingly Judge Myers directed Sheriff Rothenberger to place Mr. Stone in possession, of the land. The sheriff sent out a number of deputies and fenced in the roadbed. At the same time the Santa Fe officials were notified that the right of way was closed and the postmaster of I-eavenworth was notified to send his mails by another route. When the Topeka train went out from Ireavenworth Monday night a gang of thirty' men went along to tear down the sheriff’s fence. This they did. standing by until the train hnd passed, but the shoriir* men stood by and took the names of the men, who were arrested. Later at night the 8nnta Fe agent nt Topeka swore out n warrant charging Farmer Stone with the criminal offense of ob­ structing United States mails. He is un­ der arrest. All parties to the dispute de­ clare that the matter will be fought to a finish. . Mangier Held Guilty.

The great fight, prolonged for so long, to remove the headquarters of the Mojlern Woodmen of America from Fulton, III., to other points, has a very intimate bear­ ing on Omaha, since that city is now the home of one J. C. Root, who estnldisheil that order ami started the long fight by making nn effort to have the records of the organization ‘removed to Omaha. It was in 1879 tWnt the Modern Wood­ men of America was organized under the laws of Illinois. The charter expressly stipulated that the headquarters should be located in the State of Illinois. Ast Fulton was the home of Root, he selected that pln.ee as the headquarters of the or­ ganization. It was in 1890, eleven years Inter, that the idea of a change entered Root’s head. Omaha was on the 1mk>iii and he scleettsi that place ns the future home of his com­ pany, when he. suddenly discovered that the people of Fulton proposed to have a word to s.ty about the matter.

To get rid of stumps in a field, the contrivance shown in tbe Illustration Is an advantage. It is made of sheet Iron, supplemented by two or tnree lengths of ordinary 6-lnch stove pipe. The ^ower part must be large enough to slip over the stumps. A hole is dug between the roots or at one side partly under the stump, large enough to build a fire. After tbe fire Is once fairly started, the cylinder Is slipped over the stump and the aruMF stove, pjeceg of gtove pipe are added.

All who are used to handling cither brick or tile, know that when thorough­ ly dry they will absorb a great amount of water without being saturated. Ad­ vantage is taken of this fact by grain dealers and farmers, who place dry brick* which are easiest to handle and least likely to break among damp grain to prevent It from heating. It is sur­ prising wiiat an effect this will have if a very few bricks are interspersed through the heap. Each brick win ab­ sorb fuBy half a pint of water if it is dry to begin with. This will dry out the surplus moisture out of a good many bushels of damp grain.

The Mg bon woke up hungry, aud there being do one around, the reptHe began casting about for something to eat. Nearby was a cage of Hons, Including a cub. The cub was sleeping close to the bars. The tail attracted the boa’s attention. If man eats ox tail, why should not cub's tail make a good supper for a hungry Ikmi? The boa swallowed tbe tail. The cub did not discover,the fact, but slept calmly on. Perhaps the snake liked ihe rafnple nnd concluded t.> eat everything In sight, or possibly It dis­ covered too late that the toll was fast to the body, and decided that the easi­ est way out of the difficulty was to eat It* way out. Owing to tlie formation of a boa's asopbagus and stomach, food which once passes the throat cannot return. Spreading Ita jaws to their utmost ca­ pacity the boa swallowed'at one gulp the hindquarters of the cub. Then the cub awoke, and objected to playing the .role of Jonah to the snake'* wbhle. It cried and its mother awoke. The old female Hon took in the situation nt a glance. The snake took in more of the cub, until only the forequarters and head were left outside. The qub’s dam roared aud woke up every animal In the circus. The lions, tigers, hyenas and wolves roared and howled.

By it travelers from Chicago may reach tbe gold fields within two months, or possibly six weeks. It an im­ mediate Sturt is made. Two hundred dollars is said to be sufficient for tbe trip. Railways and steamboat* largely cover the route and supply stations are placed nt convenient intervals nil the way. This back-door route or inside track, as it is called, is simply the old Hudson Bay trunk tine to the north.* It has been in use nearly a century. A railroad official has called attention to tbe route. To travel over it passengers from Chicago mnst go to St. Paul and there take train over the Canadian Pacific. Leaving St. I’aul nt 9 o'clock in the morning, the in­ ternational boundary at Portal will be crossed at 4 o’clock next morning. At 2:22 the following morning the Chicagoan will find himself at Calgary. where he will leave the main line of the Canadian Pa­ cific and travel to Edmonton, a point NEW HOL’TE TO THE KLONDYKE. 1.772 miles from Chicago, and where the rail portion of the journey ends. The rail­ road fare from Chicago is $53.65. A stage ride of forty miles will bring him to Albabnsca Landing. Here he will find a continuous waterwoy for canoe travel to Fort Macpherson at the north mouth of the Mackenzie river, from which point the Peel river lies south to the gold re­ gions. From Edmonton to Fort Mac­ pherson is 1.882 miles. The great advantage claimed for the inland route is that it is an organized line of communication. Travelers need not carry any more food than will take them from one Hudson Bay post to the next, nnd there is abundance of fish nnd wild fowl nlong tho route. They rtin also get assistance nt flu* post* In case tft sick­ ness or accident. If lucky enough to make their “pile” in the Klondyke they can come back by the dog-sled route in the winter. There is one mail to Fort Macpherson in the winter. Dogs for teams can be bought at any of the Hud­ son Bay posts which form n chain of roadhouse* on the trip. Parties traveling alone will need no guide* until they get near Fort Macpherson, the route from Edmonton being so well defined. It is estimated that a party nf three could provide themselves with food for th<canoe trip of two months for S35. Pork, tea. flour aud baking powder would suf­ fice.

There were eightyslx present, being four more than were present at the gathering of '96. At noon the large tables. were spread in the main dining hall and the company sat down to a repast which fully demonstrated that If nothing else the family turns out some great cooks. After dinner the company were entertained by songs and recitations by different ones of the young people, and the Improvised entertainment was yery pleasing throughout. Later the people enter­ tained themselves in various ways, some at boating, fishing and gather­ ing pond lilies, some In a steamboat trip around the lake, others In visiting and reminiscences of old times. At the business meeting, E. J. Feighner of Nashville was re-elected president, Len W. Feighner of Nash­ ville secretary, and Miss Nellie Feigh­ ner of Hastings treasurer. W. B. Stillwell and Mrs. O. M. Bullinger were appointed a committee on enter­ tainment.

Hi. A party of Infuriated fanaera, Mnnod with rifles, rcvolvera, pltritfo^M and oth­ er implements, started in pursuit of the man, who bad fled from the lonely farm­ house into the nearby corn field. The man, who was n stranger in the locality and wlmae Identity is still unknown, made a vicious fight for hi* life. He was qnned with twp huge revolvers and he fought his pursuers until his body was riddled with shot and he fell helpless to the ground. • When this moment came the farmers acted like madmen. They jumped upon the half unconscious wretch and almost tore his body to pieces. They kicked him. stamped upon him. beat him over the head with rakes, hoes and rifle barrels, und pinned him to the earth with the sharp prongs of the pitchforks. When they were through the man was little more than a muss of battered flesh and blood. His body contained a score .of bullets and his bend was licaten almost into a jelly. , The battle between the'fugitive and the men who hunted him lasted over two hours. The stranger repeatedly loaded his revolvers with cartridges which he carried in his pockets. --He held the farm­ ers at bay agate and again, notwithstand­ ing his legs had liwn riddled with bullets.

He drew the revolvers from his pocket, seised them by the barrels, and began to ham­ mer Mrs. Fenska over the head. He struck h«w with nil his power repeatedly. Blood poured down her face and splashed against the walls. The man seemed to be seized with a de­ moniac rage, for he again grabbed the woman by the hair and began dragging her across the floor. Then he dropped her on the floor uud began to search the Httle house for money. There was none in the place, however, and the feUew seemed to reconsider wine Official Figure* Too Low. The Department of Agriculture officials have, had their attention called very fre­ quently of Inte to the wide discrepancy’ between commercial mid official estimates of the wheat crop. The ofllcial estimates indicate approximately a crop of 450,000^(MX) bushels, while commercial estimates range from 500,000,(MM) io 55O,OO0jM)O. It to very plain that there will hare to be a radical change in the governmental methods which now obtain of collefcting crop statistics or they will be entirely dis­ credited in every quarter.

The others were all shabby Httle Itooks which had seen hard usage. Stella cried over these recovered treas­ ures, in her tiny room with her dormer cnm-rnent looking toward the tree tops nnd the stars. Her mind was refreshed and soothed by the peaceful solitude of her poor little room. Here there was no coarse laughter, there were no cruel taunts. She could henr the owls hooting in the park, the dogs haying in the stable yard. That was all. She warned to be far away from everybody; and as she was altogether fearless she loved her solitude. And nnw tills child of eleven years old sot herself with heroic patience to carry on unaided and alone the education which had been so cruelly interrupted by that stern foe to‘progress, DeafK.

You are too proud to make one of those wretched matches by which some of your order-have degraded their rank of late years. I Should never fear anything of thnt kind from you.” "Well, no, I am not quite an idiot,” an­ swered Lnshmar. CHAPTER VII. It was October when the new Lord Lashmar came back to the castle, with a chosen compauy-of bachelor friends, old comrades of Eton nnd Oxford. The dow­ ager was at Lashmar tn receive them. She hnd not left the castle since her step­ son’s death. Her presence had pervaded the mansion like a dark and brooding cloud; or nt least it seemed so to Stella, who shivered oven nt the distant sound of that voice. Not once had they two met face to face since the day when those cruel lips told the child of her bereave­ ment; but it was enough misery for Stella to know that the stern ruler of the house was within its walls, to hear her deeptoned voice from afar. Lady lashmar wns not alone when her son arrived. She hnd summoned two other dowagers, one frisky nnd one strong minded, to bear her company. The strongminded dowager, Lady Clan MncAllister, had two strong-minded daughters, and these also were bidden. Their presence mnde nn excuse for having Clarice Danebrook continually nt the castle. A very feeble cousin of Miss Danebrook. who was reeding for his divinity examination, made a fourth. The frivolous dowager was the famous Criana,' Lady liillborough, who bud been young nnd a fashion­ able beauty when William the Fourth wns king. She dressed as youthfully now ns she dressed then, and skipped about the room as gayly, rearranging the fur­ niture in thnt bright, airy way of hers, famed for her exquisite taste in the coni-’ position of those pictures which fashion­ able drawing rooms now offer to the en­ lightened eye. Lashmar and his friends arrived in time for dinner. He bad spent a couple of nights in London, bad arranged to meet his gueuta nt the station, and to bring them down with him.

The Misses MacAHister had been far from civil to her nnd she did not love them. They resented her inordinate wealth and dis­ approved of her beauty. A rich girl had no right to be pretty. Lady Lashmsr’s favoritism was nlso an offense. Clarice was petted and flattered, while they were only tolerated—they who had cultivated their minds nnd were able to erfter the arena of argument .upon equal terms with Clarice sung her old ballads and Lashmor listened in dreamy silente. Yes, his. mother wns right. She wns a very sweet girl, somewhat over-childish, perhaps, for her eighteen years, but passing lovely.

Snow geese are exceedingly graceful and beautiful birds, of about 28 Inches In length. They are sometimes known ns White Brant and Blue Winged Geese. Their range Is very extensive.

Sir Charles Halle, who. In 1842, spent several weeks with Men­ delssohn at Frankfort, describes in his “Autobiography,’ three Instances of the composer’s memory. He writes: The greatest treat was to sit wkh him at the piano and listen to Innumer­ able fragments from half-forgotten, beautiful works by Cherubini, Gluck, Bach. Palestrina and Marcello. It was only necessary to mention one of them ,tq hear It played to perfection, until I came to the conclusion that be knew every bar of music ever written, and, what was more, could produce It Im­ mediately.

That la just right. Once out of debt, keep out, but if for solid business put*]>oses a farmer require* more capital, he cannot afford to pay over 5 or G per cent for It.

There laan art in boiling water whleh many even among otherwise good housewives have not learned. It is to begin with a little water, but always use enough so aa to cover completely, the bottom of the vessel exposed to the fire. This will boll very quickly. So soon as water boils all further heat ap­ plied to it Is wasted. But a tittle more cool water added will not. check the boiling, as the fire has onlj- to heat that much additional to the boiling point In cold weather the waste of heat does not amount to so much, though, even then, to boil a kettleful of water quick­ ly and get it to the boiling point is oft­ en a convenience. But in hot weather the waste of fuel, and also of beat, that is then a nuisance, by filling a kettleful at first. Is a great mistake. A large amount will boil much quicker by be­ ginning with a little first. It is mainly by what city people call petty economies that farmers have al­ ways made their money. Their busi­ ness Is one that-ims as many details aa that of the retail merchant to whom every penny is 1 inpot tant, as Its pos­ session may* mean profit to him, or the failure to possess it may mean loss and possible bankruptcy. The farmer. In selling his products, is obliged to get all be can so ns to meet his expenses. Yet farmers are not at all niggardly. Most of what they make over and above ex­ pense* goes in better methods of living, which make prosperity for everybody else. Grain Chute and Meaanrer. Where the grnfli Is stored above the cattle or Ijorse stable it can be brought down to the first floor by a chute run­ ning directly down from the bottom of the bln or blns.

One slide will answer for all the openings above the lower one. A bit of leather over the slots inside will keep the grain from coming out of the open slots. This device will be found a very great con­ venience and labor saver. Save everything that will make feed. Be careful not to let any weeds go to seed. Cut oats ns soon as the straw begins to turn. Wheat can be stacked with very lit­ tle curing. Cultivation can«be kept up until the crop la safe. Do not let the timothy and the red top get too ripe. It Is not necessary to thresh oata that are to be fed out. Plow up a good patch of nice loamy soil and sow turnips. Save all of the fruit in some way. Wasting is loss of profit If any hay Is stacked outside, let It be timothy, red top or prairie hay. At all times the more comfortable the stock are the better they will grow. If small grain of any kind is to be stored be sure that the granaries are in good condition. If necessary at any time to water plants remember that one good soakinc Is worth a dosen sprinklings. A little grain or bran fed to the cows dally will help materially to maintain a good milk flow. The sooner land Intended to be sown to wheat Is plowed the better. Plow deep and then fine the surface.

The imperial troops ift the garrison there are to be in­ creased by the addition of 600 royal ar­ tillerymen, making the total 1,000. It ia probable that the Royal Berkshire regiment will be sent direct to England from Halifax instead of to Bermuda aa intended. Plans have been made for a nex quick firing battery to be constructed at Point Pleasant by the Imperial authorities. Out of the Rum votexl by the imperial government for Halifax an amount will be taken to erect a commodious stable, as it is the intention of the military authorities to place here two or more batteries of royal horse artillery. The horses will be purchased at Halifax, but the guns and all equipments will be sent from England. It is also stated that next summer a quick-firing battery will be constructed on George’a island. The guns will be of the very latest pattern. Another powerful search light in addi­ tion to the onfi proposed for Sleepy cove is to be erected in a prominent position near the entrance to the harbor. THE FLYING BICYCLE. Suggestions of a dying bicycle have been numerous in recent years, but Hiram Maxim, of Maxim gun fame, gives cold encouragement to the am­ bitious wheeler who would rise with the lark and while away his leisure in midair. It will never be possible for a man to drive the flying machine with his feet, Mr. Maxim told an interviewer the other day, because the power a man ran. develop in this way is so small, in com­ parison with the weight of the machine, added to his own weight. Though a man may work up to onehorse power for « few seconds, Mr. Maxim explains,in order to fly he would have to work up to and maintain two or three horse power, and his machine, moreover, must be of practically no weight at alL A man would require two or three horse power to lift his own weight, and o machine of any weight would require increased power in pro­ portion. On the whole, this assurance of Mr. Maxim’s will probably be received-with ponsolationj rather than disappoint­ ment, to cycledom. An old Sussex fanner visiting Lon- Paul’* cathedral.

Fold and Loat In War. In losing Its held-jipou Cuba Spa Lu gfivea up almost Its tln.nl possession in tiie New World. It still holds a tiny Miami, but uses It only as a coaling and provision station. Columbus found a continent across the Atlantic and look po**e**ton of It In the name of bls sovereign. Then Spain “owned” tbe New World. But other explorers Imin-Hllately took posattMlon of corners of It. England took a Mg slice. People came from Holla nd and parts of England, and. banding themselves together, finally called themselves tbe United States. In 1801 Spain found herself deprived cf tbe continent she bail discovered 1150 jsenrs before to a great extent. Tbe eutlbe eastern eoast wns gone, both In North and South America, and there were alarming inroads in the center. But Spain atUlAHvned California. Flor­ ida, Central America nnd all the west­ ern part of South America. To-day she owns nothing. ’Cuba Is practically gone from her. She docs not govern It, neither does she get Its products. The rest of North America has passed away by conquest, by grant or by purchase. South America, true, has Spaniards living In It. But they have formed Indtqtendeut cblonles nnd«re known as Chileans, Bolivians,'Pe­ ruvians aud Colombians. They love Spain. but they love themselves more. They will hot pay direct tribute or join in her government. Spain must soon withdraw to the Kaxt era hemisphere, where she has a lovely little peninsula, and coniine her•elf to thnt territory nnd a few rich little islands In the Pacific that still be­ long to her. • '■•* In losing North and South America Spain has shown not such laid general­ ship, nor lu the opinion of hep aover «lgns such bad judgment. England is tbe only country thnt has Im.m?ii able to divide herself gracefully and govern lands across an ocean. She does It by a broad policy that Allows home rule •nd almost absolute tndei>endence on chased of Kpoin In 1819 for 55,000,000. There were 67,000 square miles, and tbe whole country was rich in vegeta­ tion and minerala. It was called the floral region'of the New Work! and was ■named for tbe Spanish Easter, upon which day It was discovered. England, all this while, bad been tak­ ing pieces of country from tbe original Spanish owners. Part of Jta present Canadian territory it got because the Spanish wanted to join tbe English. Much it got from tbe French, who had taken It forcibly from tbe Spanish. A little It got by purchase. So rapidly did the land pass ont of the hands of tbe Spanish Crown that, within a generation the lower half of North America from being a Spanish country became part of tbe United States. California was added to -the United States in 1848, after tbe Mexi­ can st niggle. It embraced tbe Im­ mense tract thnt la now divided.up into six States, and hi’ 1840 It became the Territory of California. A few men. now known ns "the foaty-nlnera," went there and came back with such as­ tounding reports of tbe richness of its fnilt, the fineries* of its wood and tfie variety of its ore that others started out. There were fairy tales told of Its glittering sand. In 1830 It became a State and soon proved to be the purae of the United States, holding money that could be traded off with foreign countries for that which tbe United States needed. Neither Spain nor Mexico would have parted- with California, Including Ore­ gon. If they had known what lay there. -The old Spanish residents tried to keep the secret, nnd from that fact comes the romantic Spanish stories of the West. ’ A Magnetic Drill. The use of. magnets for lifting pur­ pose* nnd ns a substitute for chimps Is rapidly extending, nnd to see. the ease and facility with which a ilve-ton cast­ ing can be picked up and carried around the shop Is very striking. With the old process holes have to be bored in masses of metal in all sorts of odd aud Inconvenient places and at angles so that very often It Is necessary to rig damps for holding the drilling machine to its work. The application of the portable electric motor for this purpose was a long step In advance, and this method has to*en of great service in dealing with the nfmor of tbe new cruisers. When a portable drill, how­ ever, is <-oupled with n magnetic clamp­ ing device the Ideal conditions are real- STEAMER LUCANIA OF THE CUNARD FLEET. The steamer Lucania, which triumphed in tor race across the Atlantic over her rival, the St. Paul of the American line, is the pride of the great Canard fleet. The Lucania is a veritable leviathan, to use the familiar figure. She Is 620 feet long and haa n gross tonnage of 12.950 tons. She wns launched In the Clyde—thnt home of ship building—nnd on her trial trip she ran at a speed of twenty-five nnd a half miles an hour. It is imposAbk? for the human mind to begin to conceive the force liberated by such a tremendous mans of mutter moving nt such n speed. The engines which drorc the Lucania acrusa the Atlantic nhead of tbc St. Paul nre of 15,000 horse power. The ship's average rate of speed in her voyages to nnd from Europe is n little faster than that which she made.on her trinl trips. As long ago as 1893 the Lucania ran from Liverpoof to New York In 5 days hours and 23 minutes, making the record up to that time.

The case is relat­ ed where a young Spanish exquisite named Bertrand Solus, while lounging around in the busy part of the city, was run against by a jMirter carrying a bun| tile of wood on his shoulder. The jMirter had failed out, "Make hvay, please!" several times, but with­ out effect. He tod then tried to get by without collision, but bls bundle caught In tbe young man's velvet dress and tore It. Solus was highly imllgnnnt, and hnd the jHirtor arrested.

When the case cnnie on and Solui had made his complaint, the vj-teroy turned to the porter ami asked him -whnt he bad to sny in reply. The jm/ttcr only shook his head and made signs with his hands. "What judgment do you want me to give against a dumb man?" asked the viceroy. "Oh, your excellency," replied Solus, falling into the trap, “tto man Is an Im­ postor. I assure you he is not dumb. Before he ran Intdhne I distinctly heard him cry out, ‘Make way.’ " “Then." said the viceroy, sternly, “if you heard him ask ypu to make way for him, why did you not?

This report to generally believed to to true. There to no doubt thnt the resignation of (Jen.

Recent Spanish reverses in Cuba and complications that have arisen in the heme government since the assassination of Senor Canovas del Castillo have un­ doubtedly ‘brought about the resignation of Captain General Weyler, commanderin-chlef of Cuba, who was appointed to that position Jan. 19, 1896, two days after the Spanish cabinet had recalled Captain General Campos. Benor Don Valerian* y Weyler NicoInu is, nnd for a long time has been, one of the most conspicuous figure* in Span­ ish military history.. Hto-life has been one of gieat military triumphs until he attempted the pacification of Cuba eight­ een months ago, since when failure has been hto fate. Step by step Weyler has elimtod tbe ladder of rank, beginning as a boyish cap­ tain, reaching the position of conunanderIn-chief, and wearing a eoat thnt beam upon it every cross and every badge of military honor known in Spain, save those reserved for royalty. With all this, which has been brought nbout hy a career that has met the approval of those above him in rank, he han, by reason of hto methods, and through a merciless determination that has brought most sanguinary results, been called "the butcher." His methods have been Spanish, aud are consistent with Spanish history. With an iron hand and with promised mercilessness. Gen. Weyler rtarted to crush the Cuban rebellion.

The strikers in tbe front ranks grasped * their guns and the column by sheer force of numbers pushed the deputies, many of whom were considerably frightened, front their places. President Traylor ordered the deputies to arrest Gen. Bradley, who was marching in front with n green sash over his shoulder. Two stalwart deputies seized him and rushed him through a side street. They quickly placed him in a car­ riage and drove to Hillsboro, where tbe "general'’ was placed injrtll. Meanwhile the strikers continued their triumphant march through the little vil­ lage which has so long defied their effortsAs the picket line wns broken by the strikers Sheriff Handle ordered his depu­ ties, together with over 100 able-bodied men who had been summoned by two hoarse blasts from the mine whistle, to form a new picket line nronnd the mine. This was done and further orders were given to shoot anyone, who attempted to pass the line without permission. When the miners quit work, instead of meeting the strikers as the latter hoped, they went at once to their homes. The striker* then appointed a committee of twelve to hold a meeting nnd attempt to perauad«the miners to quit. Intense excitement exists in Coffeen nnd its vicinity, nnd it fas feared thnt blood will be shed if the min­ ers persist in working. . HANSBROUGH TAKES A WIFE. H. C.

This man started out and on the way he passed through a section where for two miles the frogs literally covered tbe ground. The road was covered and'the ground in the woods us far as could be seen on either aide. They were crushed be­ neath his horse’s feet as he rode along. There were three kinds or sizes, most of them being the green so-called “tree frogs” so abundant there. The small ones were about an inch long, the others being two and three inches. There were millions of them and the noise they made was deafening. He brought several along as specimens. It’s the general opinion here that the cloudburst- brought them. This is the first time that this thing has ever hap­ pened in this section and the people nre greatly excited over it. The man stated thnt the frogs seemed dazed and hardly moved as he came along.

The Government troops fired the buildings, first placing nil thb disabled men, who were unable to move, In .their cot*, burn­ ing them alive. The others, eleven in number, were tied to trees -and shot to death, the eor|>»cs being left there. The pacificos near there came out afterward aud buried them, sending word to Havana ot the outrage.

A labor-saving device for use In set ling bens is shown herewith. A shot box or grocery box of sufficient slxe is taken, and a nest made in one end, as rjibown in the engraving, the top nnd front having been removed to show tlie Interior. Tbe bottom of the box Is cov­ ered with road dust, or coal ashes ami a shelf for setting tn water and cracked corn—the best feed for setting hens. Openings for air are made in each end. A hen can be placed on the^nest, the cover of tbe lx»x put on. and biddy left to her own devices until sbe brings off her brood.

If there were only a larger proportion of sweet In summer apples, they would be much the best for making into vine­ gar, as the. warm weather causes vio­ lent fermentation, which soon gets into the vinegar stage. But it Is found that though tbe fermentatalou Is rapid be­ cause of tbe temperature, the vinegar resulting therefrom is thin and poor. There is a decided advantage In adding some sugar after tbe cider has passed the alcoholic stage of fermentation. It will increase the sourness of the vine­ gar, while there will still be the same apple aroma and .flavor which makes apple cider vinegar the best that can be produced from anything. The fall ap­ ples, even those called “sour," Imye more sweetness Iu them tlian have the best sweet summer apples. The Rus­ set apple makes a very rich cider, but it does not ripen until all the warm weather has passed, so It keeps in the alcoholic stage all winter, nnd is very apt during that time to be drank by cider-thirsty people. The advantage of making cider from summer apples is that hot weather brings it so soon to the vinegar stage that comparatively little of It will be drank as cider. scattered along the route, attired in gownsof red. white and blue, scattered flowers before his earring*.

Alger said, he had ever be­ held. The President’s reviewing stand was at "the intersection of North street aud Richmond avenue. Approaching the stand the army moved west iu North street. Double rows of drees, whose branches met overhead, made a given eanopy above the last half-mile of the march. It looked as if the army wa* com­ ing out of a fairy-book forest. To the wnst, the situation wa* the same. Hie foliage heightened the colors ot the flut­ tering flags as the army wound post' the stnnd. Railroad officials say that 300,000 is a low estimate of the number of visitors in Buffalo. The police arrangements were admirable. Person* haring grand stand tickets found their scats readily, and the 500,000 person* who wanted to see the parade were kept well in hand. Beceptlonn of tbe Evening. Despite the fact that President McKin­ ley was exceedingly weary,- he met the local committee at night just after din­ ner, and accompanied by Gov. Black, went to Music Hall to meet’the general public. The strain of tbe day was, how­ ever, too much for flesh and blood, and after he had greeted about 3.0Q0 persons individually he wa* compelled to leave the hall. Fully 20.000-persons blocked the street* in the vicinity of the hall and ex­ pressed their disappointment at not being permitted to shake the President’s hand. Leaving Music Hall, the President was driven to the Buffalo Club, where he re­ ceived the Loyal Legion. At 1Q:45 he went to the Niagara Hotel for the night. MINE OWNERS AT SEA.

Idiarte Borda was elected president of Uruguay for the term extending from Marcli, 1894, to 1806. The fete at which he was assassinated was befog held in celebration of the independence of Uru- gusy, which wns achieved on Aug. 25, The a*»ns»inaliou of President BH 1825. The assassipstiun of President Idiarts Burda of Uruguay wa* not altogether a surprise to official* iu Washington who have watched the recent outbreak* In Uruguay. This was the second attempt on the president's life, the former being made April 21 last by a crazy student I named Reveeca. The last issue of the Montevideo Times, received in Washington, states that the president remained away from the state house in evident fear of his life. At the time t junta of those seeking to overthrow the govenuqent had. established active" operation* nt the capitol. The assassina­ tion’ ofjhe president doubtless will bring the country to a revolutionary crisis, which has been long impending. The rev­ olution thus far had been confined to the country districts, where several extensive engagements had been fought, the Gov­ ernment forces securing the advantage. There is no Uruguayan representative in Washington. At the time of Senor. Borda’* electiqn he belonged do the official party, and wa* elected-by a narrow majority. The peo­ ple, it wa* said, were *adly disappointed at the result, but order and quiet was maintained. Tbe leading paper* of Uru­ guay deplored the election of Senor Borda and declared that It marked a reaction in the country’* progress. SHORTAGE IN EUROPE. LUETGERT ON TRIAL. One of sfc* Mysferios* Murder Case* of the Decade Begin®. After two. preliminary hearing* and three months' confinement in the county jail Adolph L. Luetgert. the rich Chicago sauucc maker, was pot on trial, chargod with the murder of lii* wife, before Judge TuihiV. in the criminal court Monday. The big sansage maker ha* declared to bi® attorneys, ex-Judge William A. Vincent and. Albert Phalen, that he desires no further delay. Both the State and de­ fense prophesy that 1,000 veniremen will be examined, and thnt a week will pass before the trial will begin in earnest. The theory of the State is that Luetgert Induced his wife to accompany him to hi* sleeping apartment in tbe factory office and there strangled her. Then he is thought to have taken her body to the basement nnd to hare immersed it in a vat filled with a solution of caustic potash heated to the boiling point.- What remain­ ed of the body after this process, it is al­ leged. wa* gathered together and thrown into the furnace of one of the factory boilers. The fire had been kept' up under one,of the bailors upon express order® given by Luetgert to hi* watchman. Frank Blalk. The, State has made sev­ eral experiments in support of this theory.

An extensive inquiry into European crop'conditions conducted by the Orange Judd syndicate of agricultural papers in­ dicates that the food crop situation abroad is very grave. Estimate* of'the need* of wheat import* for Europe, including Eng­ land, range all the way from 300,000,000 to 400,000,000 bushel*. Europe’s wheat crops for 1805. 181M and 1803 averaged about 1,500,000,000 bushel*. In the fam­ ine year of 1801 it wa* only 1,200,000,000. The impression is gaining ground that Eu­ rope’s wheat crop this year ia even les* tlian in 1801. But thia is not the worst REMAINS A MYSTERY. of it.

It is not hard to find those who have suspicions as to who the guilty persona may be. There is a settled conviction ia the minds of a great many that the mo­ tive for the crime was not disassociated from a determination to destroy the book*. John F. Ryan, tbe owner of the bank, says the amount of money in the vault must have been less than $2,000. and it was nil taken. The books taken were two draft registers, A deposit nnd general ledger and- a certificate and de­ posit register. The promissory notes in> the vault were not disturbed. Altogether, the missing books weighed not less than thirty pound*. It is not clear how they could have any value, except as old paper, to professional bank robbers or to any person not interested in dealings of which they contained accounts. Mr. Ityan said that he could not think of any person who would have a motive in getting rid of the books. The murdered man, in his ante-mortem statement, accused three men of promi­ nence in the county of befog his assassins. The public announcement of these names would make a qyent sensation. The sher­ iff and the prosecuting attorney have been told that two of the three were n good many mile* away when the crime wa® committed, and for that reason no arrest® have jet been made. Whether of not Struble actually did recognize the murder­ ers, it is quite evident that they came upon him by surprise. Rumor has credited half a dozen differ­ ent persons on the two roads leading from Shepherd to Mount Pleasant with seeing a wagon in which were three men driving rapidly toward Mount Pleasant, between 4:30 nnd 5 o'dock. Many other sensation­ al rumors nre afloat, some of which may be said to have been conceived when the State banking commissioner Friday morn­ ing closed the doors of the People's Bank. of these countries cannot much exceed 875,000,000 bushel*.

His Idea of justice, nnd of tbe best way of ar­ riving at It, waa no doubt queer, and yet a majority of readers will know­ how to sympathize with him. On one occasion, after all the ev­ idence wax in nnd tbe plaintiff's at­ torney had made an elaborate argu­ ment, tl>c defendant's attorney arose to begin his plea. •’Hold on tissre!” 'exclaimed tlie court. “I don't believe I can let you proceed, Mr. Smith.

STRIKE CRISIS REACHED. Coal Miner* anil Operator* Fell to A st rec on Pence Term*. The crisis has been reached in the great coni strike. Attempts at a peaceful settlem-nt in the PittsClirg district, which is regarded ns the key to the situation, have come to naught, aud both sides nre preparing to res*rt to drastic measures. The operators say they nre determined to reojien tbeir mines at whatever cost. If their men will return to work at the old scale, pending a readjustment of wages, well end good. If not. they say they will Import the necessary num ami afford them all possible protection. On tbe other side. 4te strikers say they will not yield, and confidently predict that the <>i>eratur* will te forced to grant tbeir demands for living wages. The pence conference between a com­ mit tee of Pittsburg district oper-itors ami national and district officials of the min­ ers adjourned without date. Tbe repre­ sentatives of the miners will not recede from their original proposition to settle the strike by arbitration and start the mines at the fl3-cent rate. This the op­ erators would not grant. President Ratchfon! firmly maintained his stand for the payment of the 00-cent rate until the question was settled by arbitration. He suggested President McKinley and Wil­ liam J. Bryan as the arbitrators.

The first way Is from im­ perfect action >of-the kidneys. The 1second way is iron careless local treat­ ment of other diseases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy {urine from unhealthy kidneys Is tbe chief cause of bladder trouble. So tbe womb, like the blad­ 'der, was created for one purpose and If not doctored too much Is not* liable ; to weakness or disease, except in rare cases. It Is situated back of*and very ' 1close* to tbe bladder, therefore any. pain, disease or inconvenience mani­ fested in the kidneys, hack, bladder or urinary passage is often,by mistake attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort. Tbe’error is easily made and may be easily avoided. To find out correctly, set your urine aside for twenty-mur hours; a sediment or settling indicates kid­ ney or bladder trouble.

The annual con­ ference will be held, beginning Sept. 15, and continuing over tbe following Monday, and at these conference meet­ ings the pastorial fate will be decided for the ensuing year. Under tbe laws of the church a pastor may stay in one place for five years but^elther through choice of the pastor himself or tbe de­ sire of the congregation for a change it Is comparatively rare that tbe full term is served.

The provident and painstaking farmer has a place for bis implements, and he sees to It that they are housed and properly cared for, when no longer required in the cultivation of crops. His improvident neighbor sometimes leaves his implements where they are used last or about the premises, with­ out shelter. Eyen the harvester or mowing machine is left In the field long after It has been used, subject to all kinds of weather and inevitable injury. The cost of repairs Is necessar­ ily increased under such neglect, and the period when a new machine will be necessary is much shortened. The care of tools Is an Important factor in farm economy, and a word In sea­ son may be serviceable to such as are too remiss in this direction. The rag weed and hay fever patients are squaring off at each other in dead earnest. It is when this detestable weed Is in full bloom and begins to fly that the "bay fever" patients begin to sneeze. The more the weed flies the more they sneeze, and those who claim to know from actual experience say that the more they sneeze the more gaily the weed dances around under their noses. However the "hay feyer" brigade has so far this year very good cause to rejoice^ The weed Is a month or six weeks behind time in going to seed, and as a consequence very little of the influenza is so far reported. But in another week or so It will be on deck and the wailing and gnashing of teeth will begin. The siege will be Will cure any case of REAVES In horses. One to three hotties will cure anv case.

HARD BLOWS FOR LUETGERT. Mrs. Agatha Tosch, to whom Adolph -Luetgert was wont to confide his business and marital troubles, took tbe stand for the prosecution when the famous murder case was resumed in Chicago Tuesday, and gave damaging testimony s.tainat the prisoner. According to her evidence, the day after Mrs. Luetgert disappeared Mrs. .Tosch had a long conversation with the sausagemaker, who, she asserts, was pale and laboring under excitement he vainly endeavored to suppress. In the course of their talk she boldly told him she believed him guilty of making away with his wife and that, he thereupon manifested much excitement and begged her to help him, ns be was in great trouble. Mrs. Tosch di­ lated on Luetgert’* disturbed condition of mind as much as the rules of evidence •would permit and finally swore that the man, in the extremity of his distress, de­ clared he wa* tempted to shoot himself nnd escape the trouble that hung over hi* head.

The trial, which Is now on, will probably con­ tinue twff mouths. The long trial and the extraordinary features Involved will give the case a place among the most famous enmes of the century. The theory of the pros*cution, represented by State Attor­ ney Charles S. Denren, is that Luetgert, who was not on good terms with IHs wife, murdered her and disposed of her body by dissolving It in a sausage v«t filled with caustic soda and crude potash. The de; fense will set'liptbe claim that Mrs. Luet­ gert is not dead, that she wandered away from home while demented find la still alive. The strength of the prosecutor’s case depends upon tbe ability of the at­ torneys and police to prove that Mrs. Luetgert is dead. The difficulties in­ volved in establishing the corpus delicti gives the case a resemblance to the Park­ man-Webster murder in Boston half a century ago. Luetgert is about 50 years old. He used to be a saloonkeeper, but after his marriage to 18-yesr-eld Louise Blckner ▲DO1.P1I I- LUBTRERT. about twenty years ago he went into the sausage manufacturing business. He had a knowledge of chemistry, and by using it in his business produced a supe­ rior article and rapidly accumulated money. He was once worth 1300,000, but his fortune has dwindled somewhat. Dur­ ing the last few years be and his wife lived unhappily, and though he ate at home he spent his nights in the sausage factory, which stooti in the rear of the house.

Simons, who occu­ pied the house alone—his wife is in tbe East visiting relatives—was asleep when the robbers entered his house. The first inttoution he had that there was anybody in the room was the clasp of strong finger* about his throat and .the weight of a man sitting astride his breast. He was ad­ monished to keep still on pain of death by one of the men. who drew the sharp edge of a knife across his throat. While one of the men held Simons the other two looked for a rope. In a closet in the kitchen they found his wifa’s clothesline, and with it bound Simons’ feet together and his hands behind hi* back. They then dragged him into tbe kitchen, where he was asked to reveal the hiding place of his money.

EXTRA DUTY MAY BE IMPOSED. Question Involved in the question of the interpre­ tation of section 22 of the new tariff law with regard to the 10 per cent discriminat­ ing duty on foreign goods coming into the United States from Canada or Mexico, which is now before the attorney general for decision, is another question ->t equal if not- greater magnitude. This other question has almost entirely escaped pub­ lic notice, but it is giving the treasury great concern. It was referred to the at­ torney general by Secretary Gage for in­ terpretation along with the other feature* of section 22 which are in controversy. It involves the questiun of whether this disciiminating duty of 10 per cent due* not apply to nil goods imported in foreign vessels lauding nt United State* ports which are not exetuptfrom discriminating tonnage taxes by express treaty stipula­ tion. The question arises from another slight deviation in section 22. which, if made intentionally, would seven to indi­ cate that it was designed tu discriminate against three-fourths of all the big trans­ atlantic and transpacific steamship lines, as well os many of the South American lines.

In the Breeder’s Gazette the manager of the Kansas stock farm describes the rack as follows: We named it an ark because It looked a little like a boat and can be moved from one place to another. By bitching a team of horses on one end It can be moved very easily. The 18-foot ark holds 1,000 pounds of liay or one ton of sorghum. We make them 16 and 18 feet, but prefer the 18-foot, as it can be made cheaper. The framework Is made mostly out of 2x4 plank, except the runners, which are 2x6. These racks have been used at Bunny Slope for four years, nnd have been tbe most satisfactory of any we have seen. The Klondike rush may incidentally furnish a solution of tbe old problem, “What shall we do with our horses?” The bicycle and trolley car have so les­ sened the demand for them that a fair­ ly good one may now be purchased for wbnt would once have been .regarded ns an absurdly low price, but If the shipments now in progress from -Seat­ tle continue the market value will once more rise. Hundreds of horses are be­ ing sent north from Washington, and thousand* will 1« required to satisfy the requirements of the new country. It will be a long time before the wheel aud tbe trolley oust them from this new field of usefulness.—Providence Journal. . “Early fall Is an excellent time for planting trees,” writes Thomas Mec­ hau In the Ladles’ Home Journal. “By ripe »n<l tbe winter bud* fully formed. driven nt one-side of the proposed trench and is anchored from Its upper .end as shown In tbe sketch. As the trench Is deepened, a board is slipped down behind the stake, another stake secured In the same way, holding the other end of the board. As the trench Is deepened, tbe board is pressed down, and another added above It, the stakes also being driven down and so on till the required depth is reached. The same plan will probably have to be used on both sides. Here Is a German legend of an old farmer calling his three Idle sons around him when on his deathbed, to Impart to them an Important secret. “My sons,” said he, “a great treasure lies hid in the estate which I am about to leave you.” The ohl man gasis.'d. "Where Is It hid?” exclaimed tbe sons In a breath. ”1 am about to tell you,” said the old man: "yon will have to dig for It----- ” But his breath failed him before he could Impart the weighty se­ cret, -and he died. Forthwith the sons set to work with spade and nuittock upon the long-neglected fields, and they turned up every sod and clod upon the estate. They discovered no treasure, but they learned to work: and when the fields were sown and the harvest came, lo! tbe yield was prodigious. In consequence of the thorough tillage which they had undergone. Then it was that they discovered the treasure concealed In tbe estate, of which their wise old father had advised them.— David Summers.

Chicago, Sept. 7, 1807.’ Tbe predictions for higher market for wheat made In tbe last letter has been more than ver­ ified by tbe events of the last two days. December wheat, which closed Saturday at 03&, opened to day fully two cents higher, and thereto nothing in the present outlook to In­ dicate materially lower prices In the Immedi­ ate future. On tbe contrary, reports to Schwartz, Dupee & Co. from all parts of the wheat consuming world are that there to a marked scarcity, with indication that a worse condition of affairs to eminent. The Mark Lane Express, which to authority on matters pertaining to food supply and demand In Eu­ rope says that present wheat prices are nothing like as high as they will be when the outcome of tbe present shortage In all parts of the world to presented to tbe buyer. From Russia comes word that notonly la tbe present crop a poor one, but tbe drouth to so severe that far­ mers experience great difficulty In preparing the ground for seeding. This phase of the altnation will appeal to many American agricultualtota wbo find themselves In the same plight and the continued lack of rain In our wheat states when It to imperatively needed for the planting of winter wheat, to llEely to become a serious factor tn tbe situation here. Tbe English visible supply of wheat decreas­ ed 851,000 bu. in tbe last week, and our own decrease was 656,000 bu. These figures should command attention from those who .have learn cd to depend upon the U. 8. for all ^he wheat the world may need, irrespective of tbe^Smditlons elsewhere. Tbe demands of Europe hsye evidently not been overestimated, and it was these demands, when there was promise of an abundant harvest tn this country that put wheat to a dollar a bushel a short time ago. If tbe planting of winter wheat to to be Imped­ ed by lack of rain It does not take a prophet to •ee tbe future of tfce cereal. Primary receipts are averaging only about half what they were a year ago. Tbe report this morning for two days was 2,440,000 bu. against 2,443,000 bu. for one day a year ago. It to natural to suppose that with September wheat selling at 96 or bet­ ter In Chicago, and December at 95, there to a good movement of the stocks at hand, and therfore, tbe low primary receipts mean much to those who look below the surface. Corn has held its own well, but its situation la radically different from that of wheat, be­ cause of a good crop this year and.a heavy ac­ cumulation from the crops of 1895-6.

Seven years had gone by sln.ee Clarice Danebrook had played tenuis on the lawn «nder Lady Lashmar’s windows, and nothing had come of her ladyship's hopes tn that direction. Clarice and Lord Laxhmar had seen u good deal of-each other in the^Ixtudon season which followed those quiet sntumn days at the castle. They had waltzed many a waltz, had met in Dunv a crush upon the staircases of Bel­ gravia nnd Wayfair. But Lord Lashmar deemed that it wiA too soon for him to avow himself. He was not quite sure. He wanted time. And Clarice wns usauredly too young to know her ownjnind. He left Clarice lamenting, like Ariadne at Nmx<k: and, like Ariadne, she found a donsoler. She had been very fond of. Lord Lashmar in her mild, almost infantine way, and she bad »et her heart upon being a peqrexs. And now she felt heartbroken, dlsappoiuted, cruabed. Her mother also was disappointed and did not conceal her feelings. She told Clarice that Lord Laahmar had behaved shamefully, and that he was unworthy of a moment’s thought. Notwithstanding which Clarice thought of him during almost every mo­ ment of the day and many a wakeful hour of the night; until the appearance of a new admirer of still higher rank afford­ ed a spurious kind of consolation. The new admirer was Lord Carminow, a marquis, and one of the most dissi­ pated young men in London or Paris; a young, man who, a year before he met CBarice. had the reputation of being in­ dustriously engaged in drinking himself to death, but who was said to hnve pulled up, as it were, on the brink of the preci­ pice and to be in a fair way to refonn. His hand was still very shnky. and he ■wax still obliged to put cayenne (>cpj>er in bis brandy; but he drank less brandy and his hand waa less tremulous than it •had been last year. After three weeks’ acquaintanceship he proposed to Clarice Danebrook and wns •accepted with a kind of.haughty careleasncss on the part of the young Indy, as if she (ook this coronet as her due nnd decpised the giver; with rapture on tho part of the mother, but by the father with ■considerable and even outspoken reluc­ tance. . Clarice took her chance and enrolled ticrxelf forever among the marchionesses <jf England. She endured three and a half yean of a most intolerable existence before Lord Carminow finished that busi­ ness of drinking himself to death. He wns gone nnd Job Dnnebrook was gone and Clarice. Mnrchiouexs of Carminow, was established at Dnnebrook Hull, inor­ dinately rich and ns lovely ns in her earth eat girlhood. And now in these days of ber widowhood Clarice wax again almost as a d^nyhter to Lady Loahmar, who had much need of solace and society. Jn her present depressed stole- of benltn^ueed also of much attendance, wanting Rr+tw waited iqon with exemplary patience, al­ together n hard and difficult mistress. She hnd three slaves, who were always .in attendance upon her—Barber, the pa­ tient nnd homely maid of thirty years' .service; Celestine, the exjiert Abigail, with deft fingers and faultless taste in the confection of a cap or the arrangement ■ef n drapery, were it only the sweeping folds of an Indian shawl worn over an invalid's shoulders, and Stella Boldwood, now nineteen years of age, and promoted within tbe last two years to tbe post of her ladyship’s reader and amanuensis. Not of. her own accord, but very rereluctantly, had Lady Lashmnr acwptcd her step-xon’s protege in this intimate familinnty. The girl had been forced upon her by circumstances nnd officious­ ness of her other dependents. The time had come when she, who had. been a great reader, bad begun to feel the fatigue of reading too much for her broken nerves —tbe time hod come when a chronic lan­ guor made it nn effort to her to hold n book or follow tl>e lines of a page. She was only fit to recline in her easy chair and listen while gome subdue*! voice read aloud to her, and the accents of that voice must be those of refinement. . So Stella was told one monqr.g that her mission would Im? to act as Lady Lashmar's reader and amanuensis until fur­ ther notice, and from that hour she wax a alarc. Her life had been cniiy enough of Inie yearx, «isy even to pieaxnntneas. The rule of the un>-ompromising Middlehum hnd been made very light for her, when that autocratic personage found that she wax willing, industrious nnd conscientious, and that whatever she did wa* well done. Khe had Ix-en able, by early rising, to get her work done before the one o’clock din­ ner; and then she had been allowed to do what she liked with her afternoons,.al­ ways providesl she reappeared at the five ■ o’clock tea, which of late she had taken with Mrs. -Barber in the little room up­ stairs, a priceless privilege, since it spar• ed her the gossip and uncongenial jovial­ ity of the still-room. Little by little the girl had drifted, as it were, it;to a life of her own. apart from those servants whose existence tbe dowager wished ber to share. Hhe had been timong them for n tittle while, but she hnd never been one • of them. As she grew into giHbcod the different between her and them became more sharply defined. They felt that she ccrald never be like themsivrv. and her presence became hu embarrassment. They were very glad that she preferred •olttude to their friendly company, and n ■ cup Of tea in Harber's room to their ems noisy nj>-nl. She had always such otd-faidiioned ways, they raid. Strangs khat a child should bo such a bluc-stock- CHAPTER X. Am the years rolled on Stella wax al­ most happy. The afternoon hour* of ev­ ery day were spent with Gabriel Verner. He was old and feeble, and sometimes prosy, but he was a mine of Information; he loved learning for learning's sake, nnd he loved Stella. He carried on her edu­ cation from the |»oint nt which Lord Lashmar had left off. He cultivated ber lore of the classics, rending Homer, and Virgil, nnd Horace with her again and again, dwelling on the passages he loved, in­ graining their beauties into the very mind of his pupil. He taught her French and German, nnd together they read tbe class­ ics of lx>th languages. They had nothing to distract them from their books, no vis­ itors, no pleasures. - In summer time they sat in u quiet spot on the edge of the river, a little nook below the towing path, out of every one’s way, under a willow which Lashnmr had loved. In winter they sat opposite each other by the trimly kept hearth, like two old cronies. She spent nt least half of every day m Lady Laxhmar’s rooms, and was often summoned late nt night to sit beside her ladyship's bed and read til! three or four o'clock In the morning. She performed her task with a cold placidity which was agreeable to the high-bred dowager, who detested fuss and would have been dis­ gusted by servility-or officiomffiess. Later on Lady Lashmar allowed her slave to .write all her letters to indifferent persons, ^and sometimes even a letter of friendship, but the amannensis was never employed iu writing to her ladyship's son. Those letters wore always in the mother's pen­ manship. ' Stella had filled this office for nearly two years and had been of the utmost service to Lady I-axlnuar. Yet the xtern dowager hud but in the smallest Measure relented’of her original aversion from her stepson's protege. She used her as a companion nnd slave, but she never forgot that this thoughtful looking girl with the large dark eyes was Jonathan Bold­ wood's daughter, and that tbe venom of radicalism ran in those blue veins which showed it: such delicate tracery upon the xiim white hands and on the ivory pallor of the forehea<l. The old prejudice still .existed in full force, nnd the dowager in no wise relaxed her hauteur because Stella Boldwood had become useful to her. In her inmost heart she was angry with the girl for the very gift" which made her an invaluable companion. She resented that force of character which had enabled the child-dependent to rise superior to her surroundings nnd to make herself a lady in manners and superior to most ladies in education. She was angry at <hat native grace which gave elegance even to the black merino gown which was the livery of servitude. Noth­ ing could vulgarize Stella or reduce her to the level of her ladyship's other dependenta * wns the cud of Septemlier ami Lord Luxhmar und a little lot of distinguished visitors were expected at the castle, some intent on the slaughter of the pheasants, others only desiring rest and respite after the fatigues of a London season. Among these latter was Mr. Nestorius, the great imrty leader, original and. chief of that I>oHtical s»*< t which was known aa the Movement Party, who. having retired i from public life, finally, after the defeat of • his ministry, now, like Dante's swimmer, i looked buck breathless, after striving j with the waves, -upon tho raging sea of I politics from the calm shore of domes- I deity. Nestorius had been a protege of Lady ' Pitland when his brilliant career wax in its dawn, nnd the friendship with that wonderful old lady nnd her family hud never been interrupted, albeit their politi­ cal opinions wore as the poles asunder. And now that the politician's distinguish­ ed career was a dosed book, and that he had withdrawn into the haven of private life, without the faintest intention of ever refitting his damaged craft, again to en­ counter the buffets of ocean, it pleased Lady Lnshmar that tho great man should enjoy some portion of his well-earned leis­ ure under her roof. Lord Lashmar arrived, fresh from a yachting excursion, in the Hebrides, bronzed nnd bearded, broad shouldered, muscular, the manliest of young men, with a fresh open air look alwrnt him. jet intellectual withal. It was a fine face, as even Stella was fain to confess to her­ self ns she withdrew froth tbe morning room after his lordship's arrival, leaving mother und son together. Yes, it was a fine face, but far from a pleasant face. Stella thought. There wax the haughty expression of hi* grandmoth­ er's old Northumbrian race—the Fitz Rol­ los—who claimed to be descended in a di­ rect line from those Norsemen who swoop­ ed like a flock of sea birds on that bleak const iu the dim beginning of English his­ tory. He gave her a distant bow as she passed him. a salutation which she acknowledged with an almost imperceptible bend of the long, slim throat, while the look iu thoxc dark ey.*« of hers expressed absolute dis­ like. She had not forgotten his parting speech in the library seven years ago, or the air v.ith which he had flung open the door and told her to “march.” He would tell her to march again, perhaps, if she should happen to be in his way at any time. This was the first time they two : had met face to face since that day. He looked ^'fter her wonderingiy til! ' the poMiere fell behind her and he ami ' his mother were alone. "Your irt-otege has Improved!” he said. "She 1* not half ra ugly as she was seven _______ J,________ Too know i-he is n legacy from poor Hubert, Lord lz.tshmar‘» doing.

Mr. Nestorius is impression­ able, and a widower. Lady Carminow w<mld make him a capital wife.” ' ‘'My dear Lashmnr, be is old enough to be ber father." “Greatness is of no age. Nestorius at fifty Is r.iorc attractive than the common herd of yoimg men, and for'a woman of I^tdy Citnxinow's ambitious temper he would be especially attractive. She has secured her coronet. She has made her­ self a nmrchioneM, and no one can mis­ take her. The next step would be to se­ cure an ex-prime minister for her hus­ band and slave.” "That is nil nonsense. Clarice is full of romance.” Lady Lorbmar did not argue the point. She was bent upon masking her batteries if possible. Men are such kittle-cattle: and if Lcslunar once took it into hix head, that she was bent on match-making he would set hix face against Claricoun’d all her charms. She w6nld trust to the chap­ ter of accidents and to Lady Carminow’s beauty, which wax in its zenith. _ j_____ CHAPTER XI. ’ It was nearly a week since the arrival of the visitors, and Stella had enjoyed more liberty during that interval than she had known since she became her lady­ ship's, render. She had only been called upon to write a f6w letters In the morn­ ing, and to read to Lady Laxfamnr after ten o'clock in the evening. These nightly readings generally lasted till the small hours, but Stella did not mind that. She was not n person who required much sleep, ami she was about in the dewy park long liefore the castje breakfast time, ami sometimes spent an hour with Mr. Verner before breakfast. It was on one of these early visits that she was surprised by the entrance of n stranger, who came unannounced into the cottage imrlor while she was reading Aeschylus to her tutor. The visitor was no Jess a person than Mr. Ncstorins. who had unearthed Ga­ briel Verner the day after his arrival at the castle, and in whom the old man had welcomed nn honored pupil in the long r.go days of his university career. Yes, it wns Mr. Nestorius who stood in- the doorway smiling to hear the rugged mu­ sic of Prometheus from those, girlish lips. “So you nie still at the old-work. Ver­ ner!” he said, "and with a very promising pupil. Will you present me?” "My dear, this is Mr. Nextnriua. You have heard me talk about Mr. Nestoriux.” Stella bowed, blushing deeply. It was the first time that any one of importance had ever been presented to her. She closed her book, rose hastily and took up the neat little black straw hat which was her invariable headgear. ”1 hope I have not scared you away,” said Nestorius. “No, sir; it is time for me to go back to the castle.” “Nomo i.sc, child," said Verner, “yrfii told me her ladyship would not want you till eleven o’clock. Sit down and let me tell Mr. Nestorius what a capital Grecian you arc.” "It used to be Edgar in the old days.” remonstrated (h’e-_Btutcxrnan, putting down his hat nnd seating himself nt the table, covered with books and manu­ scripts, loose sheets of that vast work which wax still in progress. "But in those days you were an under­ graduate nnd I was a don.” ansyvered Gabriel Verner, shaking his gray head, which wns always just a little tremulous, “and now you are a great statesman and I am a uoliody.” ’ “The Intel prefer of the Stagyrito must always be renowned," said Nestorius. his hand upon a pile of manuscript on the old man's desk. lie hud unearthed his old tutor the day after his arrival at Imshmar Castle, nnd hud spent a good many odd half hours at tbe cottage, talking over Verner's hopes and disappointments, listening with heroic patience to complaints against publishers and the tending public, mild bewailing* of fate, comforting, sustaining, ax only lie could. If he had been called a magnetic man, it may be that magnetism was but another name for un intensely sympa­ thetic nature. Stella looked at him with wondering, earnest eyes, ns he sat beside the old tutor's desk. He was a man for whom life wns on the wane. He had passed the lloodtide of life and fame, and strength and beauty. After some brilliant sueceases, he hud lived to hear himself called a failure; and he hud retired from the political arena, ostensibly forever. "So this i» Stella, the young lady of ■whom I heard from poor Lashmar years ago, when she wax a little child.” “You know Lord Lnahmar, air, my Lord Lashmar?" exclaimed Stella. breathless­ ly• “Yes; ho and I were friends, though my original friendship wax with ber lady*, ship's side of the house. Poor Laahntar interested me; be was a remarkable young man.” “He wns the best and noblest man that ever lived,” said Stella. “Within your knowledge, ye*. 1 can understand and admire your grateful af­ fection for him,” answered Nestorius gently. “It was at Harrogate I met him for the Inst time. You remember, Ver­ ner. He wns there with you one autumn.” “We only stayed a few days; the place did not suit bin;, and he was anxious to go back to the castle," said Verner. said Stella. “I should have been quite miserable without him.” She laid her small slender hand caress ingly Upon Verner’s shabby coat collar nnd hi* looked up at her with itH’ffable love in lux.dim old eyes. “She has been sight to the blind,” hr said. “She has been my consolation, and I have been hers, under, perhaps, not al­ together generous treatment. And now her ind-xhip finds that the girl whom she counted as a burden is the most useful of all her dependents-” “Yea, 1 have heard that you are Lady Lsshxnar's reader. laidy Carminow told me about you. And now. if you. are going back to the castle, we may ns well walk together, nnd you can tell me a little more about yonrsdf and your studies.” The offer of such escort would bare Itcen^an honor to a young person of much loftier rank than her ladyship's reader. Stella put on her hat without a word, waited meekly while Nextonus and Ver­ ner talked for another quarter of an hour; nnd then the old man followed his visitors to the gntc of the little garden, with its chrysanthemums and late-lingering roses, nnd stood watching them as they walked down the village street, the statesman tall and erect, the girl slim and straight nnd tall beside him. ' (To be continued.) Saved His Master. ... Tj the many war stories of which a horse is the hero must' be added a re­ markable incident that comes from Rhodesia to the Sunday Magazine. A little band of Englishmen was on tue point of being surrounded and cut off. The order, "Save yourselves!" was given. Captain Grey led the retreat at full gallop, but a bullet struck him and wounded him so severely that he lost his mount. The horse was borne on­ ward by the rush In the rear. Helpless on the ground, within forty feet of two leveled rifles, and almost within reach of a band of men carrying assegais, the officer had given himself up for lost, when, to his -Intense sur­ prise. he saw his faithful horse rush to­ ward him and adopt a position which protected him from the weapons of his enemies. *1 is first thought was that the animal had gone mad. but seeing that It show­ ed unmistakable sign# of comprehend­ ing the danger to them both. Captain Grey made an almost superhuman ef­ fort to reach Its back. The shot had paralyzed bls right side; fortunately he could seize tbe reins with his left band, and then by putting a foot in the stirrup he managed some­ how to gain the saddle. One word— “Go!"—and the horse had darted Into safety with rocket-like speed, carrying his bleeding master ou his back. No nssogal pierced horse or man. and no bullet touched either during this in­ cident Such nobility appealed to the savage. Dragon Fly Dine* on Mosquito. There are two ratural eaemles of tlie mosquito, the dragon fly and the spider. The latter, as we know. wag(*s constant warfare nj>on all insect life, and where mos<iuitoes are plentiful they form the chief diet of their hairy foe. The dra­ gon fly is a destroyer of mosquitoes iu at least two stages of life. The larva dragon fly feeds upon the larva mos­ quito, ami when fully developed the former dines constantly uj>on the ma­ tured m««qulto. Tbe dragon fly as a solution of the mosqultcripest question is not wholly satisfactory, for while there Is no serious dltficnjp' to be en­ countered in the cultivation of dragon flh*s in large immlxrs, yet M is mani­ festly ImpoMlble to keep them in the dark woods where mosquitoes abound, the hunting ground of the "darning needle" bedng among the flowers and dry gardens whore the sunshine pre­ vails. For this very important reason tbe schwiie of bunting one kind of in­ sect with another must be abandoned as Impracticable.—Washington Star. leaders in St Louis M. D. lUtchfuni, of tbe United Mine Workers ot advocated a great sjmjmfhctie strike of ail branches of organized labor unless Congress met at once and gate the labor*. r« relief and wiped out the Lbws which empowered the judiciary "to con.duet government by injunction." Tbe forces of labor met at Masonic Temple at 10 o'clock Monday morning. H. W. Steinbixs, secretary of the Trades and l^abor Union, occupied the chair. No buxinesB waa don* at this' session, a rectsx being taken until 11 o'clock. About 200 men composed the convention. At H o’clock Sheridan Webster nominated W. B. Prescott, president of the International Typographical Union, for temporary chairman. Hia election was unanimously adopted and was greeted with applause. Chairman Prescott then appointed a'com­ mittee composed of M. D. Ratchford, James O'Connell, Grant Luce, J. B. Sov­ ereign and W. D. Mahon. The Committee on Credentials made its report immediately upon tbe assembling of the conference for its afternoon «■»sion. It was shown that eighty-eight delegates, representing the following or­ ganizations, were represented: United Mine Workers of America, the Social De­ mocracy, the American Federation of La­ bor, the Stonemakers International Union, Brotherhood of Painters nnd Decorators, Brotherhood of Bot­ tle-Blower*. Building Trades Council of St. Ixiuls, the Patriots of America, Inter­ national Brotherhood of Track Foremen, the Single-Tax League of America. Cen­ tral Labor Council of Cincinnati, the In­ ternational Typographical Union,.the Peo-. pie’s party of Kansas and the Industrial Order of Freedmen. Mr. Ratchford took the floor and went over the miners' strike from its inception to the present day, duelling phrticulariy upon “government by injunction." He pleaded for prompt action, and, coming to the point of his argument, advocated n special session of Congress ns the best and in fact the only relief. "In case of a re­ fusal to convene Congress," said Mr. Ratchford, “it will* then be time to consider more "exireme measures. I nm in faror, if the President refuses to call Congress together, of a complete paralysis of business. I believe then in a sympa­ thetic strike." Patrick O’Neill of Rich Hill, Mo., who said he represented 1,500 unorganized “picks,” favored a labor revolution. He wns a Socialist, he said, and believed in the miners taking things in their own hands if necessary. Mr. Sovereign put himself on record as opposed to Mr. Ratchford** plan. He believed that the crucial test now confronted organized la-' bor. Mr. Mahon of Detroit said a resolu­ tions committee was useless; The con­ vention should vote on Ratchford's porposition, and then go home. The power of the nation, he said, was in the courts, and if anybody was to be convened let it be the courts. He wns oposed to Mr. Ratchford’ii proposition. James M. Carson, pres­ ident of the Illinois miners, then recited at great length the conditions confronting the miners of his State, and said he be­ lieved his men would be beaten in two th- report of a Chief Executive letter, reading as folkiwx: against McKinley to make way with him because he appointed Powderly. This plot is not in favor of anarchy. They arc for organized labor awl against mon- written cither by some crank <ir by a practical joker, but Mayor Black deemed it wise to take every precaution looking to the President's safety. The rc*ult wax that during his »tay the President wax very closely guarded by the police authorities of the city. All the detectives belonging to the local force with the vixHtnp aleuthx from other cities were detailed to act ax a *i>ecial body­ guard. and upon the arrival of the Presi­ dents' train the officers in plain ctothea surrounded the President nnd escorted him to hix carriage, on cither side of which when the parade moved marched four detectives and the chief of police himself. No one wax allowed to approach the vehicle during the parade nnd upon the arrival of the party at tbe hotel the police formed n cordon dear to the eleva­ tor through which the President passed. During the reception and during :ill the subsequent exercise* of the day the Pres­ ident found detectives constantly at hU elbows. He observed the extraordinary vigilance of the police nnd finally asked an explanation, which wax given him by Mayor Black, who also showed him the letter. The President merely, observed that be did not beHcre anyone wanted to do him barm. However, he warmly thanked the Mayor and Director Williams for the precautions they had taken to con­ serve his safety. LEAPS TO DEATH- W. RumcII Ward, tbe Eugllxhia-iu who came first into the. glare of publicity by eloping from Los Angeles on the laat day of June with tbe wife of Millionaire John H.

The long-looked for Portland ha* ar­ rived. The ship about which so many stories have been told »iuce she left St. Michael reached Seattle Sunday morning. Th* Portland carried thirteen miners, and the total amount of gold dust on board Is about $675,090. Th* miners had brought only a small part of their stakes and the oize of the Portland’s cargo was disap­ pointing. Th* miners on board, with the amounts of their total mining profits, part* of which were brought with them, are a* fol­ low*: ' J. Rowan, $50,000; Jame* Bell, $45,000; Joseph Goldsmith, $35,000; N.

The claims which have been worked promise well, and in fact many of them give assurance of proving very rich. All estimates of th* amount of gold which will be taken out of the Yukon next year must necessarily be very rough, as there is no means o< determin­ ing how much work will be done. If men could be secured to work the claim* al­ ' ready located there would undoubtedly be many millions of dollar* taken out, but the majority of men who go there prefer to prospect on their own account, notwith­ standing the fact that high wages can bi.* bad.

The Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture has iw-ned its annual estimates, in which it describes the world’s hatwest ns ex­ traordinary light. The total yield of wheat Is placed at 573,700,000 metric hun­ dred-weights, while the present annual requin menta are estimated at 053,150,000 metric hundredweights. It is calculated that for 1807 and 1803 there will be a shortage of 50,800,000 hundredweight. The stocks remaining on hand from 1800 are approximately esti­ mated nt somewhere between 38,000,000 and 43,000,000. The total supply for the year, tecksning both the present stocks nnd the harvest, is estimated from 610,­ 000,000 to 051,000,000 metric hundred­ weights. HAS SYMPATHY OF ENEMIES.

All thre* nominations received many second*, and vigorous speeches were mode by enthusiastic delegate*. A five minutes' recess waa aaked by several States for a caucus, and tbe delegates groutMxl together and indulged in excited talk. Candidate Hoard's eligibility was questioned by Maj.

The vote showed a good majority for Hoard: 17(1 to 85^ for Stahl and GO for Clayton. .'The effort to make tho vote unanimous in compliment to the ex-Governur was futile, many delegates voting against such mo­ tion. Secretary Stahl was re-elected by acclamation, und. there being no other candidates, N. G. Spalding of New York was likewise honored fur treasurer.

Although the bars of the i river have been *ucccMfully workec the last ten years, then- ha* practi been no real prospecting done ou the t important tributaries. Everywhere that tbe explorers nnd scattering prospectors have gone in tbe Stewart and its branches gold ha* licen found. On tunny creeks the prospects were extra good. Several things have conspired to leave this field practical­ ly untouched. The question of getting supplies is a very serious one. At the same time the’few hundred men who have been on the*Yukon up to Inst year have found sufficiently attractive diggings near­ er to tbe older districts and closer to sup­ ply bases. The Indians also, have a super­ stition regarding a powerful nnd savage tribe who live on the upper part of the riv­ er and whom they cnlj tbe "Mahntiies” and consequently will not go up the river any great distance. From the mouth of Stewart over to the north fork the distance is estimated at 450 miles, nnd to the head of this fork in the vicinity of 500 miles in all. The south fork is practically unexplored. One or two persons hare been on it, and then not for a sufficient distance to determine it* character or length. The prospectors nnd those who have been on the river say thnt It carries a larger volume of water than the Felly river. It is beyond doubt the second largest feeder of the Yukon. The first gold discoveries on the Stewart were made in 1885 on bar* within about UM) miles from the mouth. These were rich. During the fall, in lens than fifty days' time, a* High as $6,000 to the man wa* rocked out. In 1886 fully 100 men were working on the river I tar* with good suc­ cess. Some went up the north fork nearly to its head. Each succeeding season, the bar* have been worked until now they du uot i»y wages. EARTHQUAKES IN JAPAN. Reported. trial in Havana has attracted great inter­ est and even the loyal Spanish residents profess pity for this persecuted girl whose very life is in danger at the hands of the bloodthirsty tyrant. For months she ha* been subjected to tbe cruelties of a Span­ ish military prison in the Casa de ItecoJidas, nt Havana. The crown prosecutor, in his harangue before the military court, demanded that represented himself when entering tbe Klomllke mining country. At first he in­ sisted that C. C. Perrin of the Thiel de­ tective service of St. Louis was mistaken when hf accused him of having murdered Edward Murray at Walford last Febru­ ary. setting fire to the store and taking flight, hoping thereby to make it appear that it was Novak that had been burned ■live. Had he established that aa a fact his wife and others whom the detectives believe were confederates would have cleaned up $30,000 of' insurance which Novak had taken out on his life in his wife’s favor. All that Novak really con­ fesses is that he is Novak and that he is from Walford and bad a wife and two children there. The Insurance comphnles will not therefore have to pay the $30,000 of life insurant which they have brought suit towecorrr. If the State of Iowa can­ not convict him of the murder Of Murray or of having *«v fire to tbe building occu­ There It probably no man better known pied .by him he will escape. Detective Perrin traveled 20,000 miles in Dearborn and Ohio counties than Mr. O.

He then started down lite lakes and Yu­ kon river, shouting all the rapids, a thing he says he would not again do for all the goldjn the Klondike country. In his haste he passed in the middle of Luke Bennett the num he had already traveled thous­ ands of miles to capture. Novak, under the name of J. A. Smith, was going leis­ urely down the lake with a party of. miners as Perrin passed. Perrin talked with members of the Novak party, but did not recognize the fugitive behind his , heavy growth of whiskers. At Dawson City Perrin could find no trace of Novak, as he hnd not arrived. For u day or two he was afraid he had traveled all the way to Dawson ou a blind trail. But inside of two days he had lo­ cated the wife of a member of tho party Novak was known to bo traveling with. She r< lieved Perrin by informing him that her husband wns expected the next day. On the third day after Perrin arrived Novak’s party came in. The mounted po-li«*e were summoned to make the arrest through courtesy. Perrin jiointed out Novnk and had him brought to headquarters. Novak stoutly declared he was uot from Perrin then sent for the mounted police doctor and had him examine the fillings in Novak’s teeth. In every respect the marks of identification on his teeth tallied with those given out by the Iowa authori­ ties. and it was deemed satisfactory proof that tin- prisoner was Novak./ Up to that time Perrin hnd passed in big Colorado syndicate that .was going to buy half of the new gold district. When his true errand became known, he wns given an ovation. Novak hnd no money, al­ though he bail earned $41 carrying other people’s supplies ou his baek over the Chilkuot pass.

The whole Eastern world was once well wooded. Roman and Greek writers assure us of this. Vast legions of Europe and Asia, by wars and wantonness and Imprudence, have been stripped of their forests. A belt of woodland stretching from tbe Pyrenees to the Himalayas has been swept away, and that whole region, once’ fertile and pop­ ulous, now uarely sustains a people scanty In numbers. It is a significant fact, that great deserts now occupy the original seat of the human race, and extend on every route of their migra­ tions. Humboldt Is reported as saying “Men In all climate* seem to bring up­ on future generations two calamities at once—a want of fuel and a scarcity of water." Tbe two come alike from tbe destruction of the forest*. So far as possible the farmer ought to have sod land on which to grow all hoed crops. He cannot usually make nearly enough manure to fertilize all that he wants to plant to corn or pota­ toes. If there Is a sod to be rotting during tbe summer a moderate dress­ ing of commercial fertilizers will In­ sure as great success as he could usual­ ly depend upon with a dressing of ma­ nure on land that hua been naked through the winter. Possibly the sod may not equal In value tbe plant nutri­ tion furnished by a dressing, of stable manure, but the sod will be more sure to rot If the season be dry, and thus make up In availability what It lacks In fertilizing power. If the sod be mainly 'of clover, the fertility it will add to the soil will be as great as is given with the manure dressings, es­ pecially if applied just after tbe land Is plowed. Sheep Anionc Growlna Corn. It Is the practice of good farmers now to cultivate both corn and pota­ toes much longer than used to be thought advisable. Tbe reason Is that the modern cultivation Is shallow and does not disturb the roots. But where a piece of either corn or potatoes is weedy a few sheep may be put into the field after midsummer with no dan­ ger whatever that they will injure the crop. Almost any other stock will at­ tack both corn and either the potato tops or roots. Sheep will not eat either. Usually only tbe ram was put In some time In July, and was not taken out until the corn was ready to harvest After corn is cut sheep will attack the corn ears.

For three weeks past people from all over this and neighboring Bute* have been leaving Ocean Springs in fright be­ cause, a* they said, n peculiar epidemic was prevailing at that place. Those who thus got away before the yellow.fever commenced are now scattered far and wide, and herein lies the greatest danger. The Florids State Board of Health has MisaivM Which Tend to Establish a Marder Motive. When Luetgert, the alleged Chicago wife murderer, .entered Judge Tuthill’s courtroom Tuesday he smiled and nodded *t tlie jury, but he failed to extend the •wtep of his salutation to the crowd. The first business taken up was the COAST ALONG WHICH YELLOW issued a proclamation excluding trom tbe State all persons and baggage from the yellow foyer infected point* in Louisiana and Mbsbaippi, unless accompanied by a certificate that the person has not been exposed to the disease within fifteen days from the time of departure. The salt water resorts between Mobile and New Orleans—Pascagoula, Scranton, Biloxi, Ocean Springs. Bay St. Louis, Pau Christian, Waveland, the Southern Methodist Association camp ground* nnd all way station* on the Mississippi sound const—contain at this season tens of thou­ sands ot visitors from all sections of the South. Mobile now has representatives by hundreds at Scranton, Biloxi, Ocean Springs and tbe camp grounds. These people, since the fever panic began, have been wildly anxious to get to their homes. The general Government will render all assistance in its power to check the spread <if yellow fever. Thi* will be done mainly through the agency of the Marine Hos­ pital Service. Dr. Walter Wyman, the head of the bureau, has returned to Wash­ ington nnd assumed active charge iu di­ recting tbe work in assisting the Stflte officials of Misatosippi in their efforts «T confine the disease to the locality where it appears to have started. Dr. Wyman says that ns yet he has no opinion to ex­ press whether the disease is really yellow fever, although he admits it looks very suspicious. The precautionary measure* he has taken nre based entirely on the declaration of the Stnte Board of Health of Louisiana in the Gelpi case, which was thnt the disease from which the per­ son had died wns yellow fever. Dr. Wy­ man says the situation at Ocean Springs to entirely in the hands of the State Board of Health, while the Marine Hospital Bu­ reau to doing everything possible to assist. Dr. Wyman has wired the physician in charge nt Ocean Springs a copy of the treasury regulations relating to the pre­ vention of the spread of epidemic diseases from one State to another. These regula­ tions prescribe the manner of surveil­ lance to be established over railroad train* coming from the infected district and give rule* for the isolation of inferted passen­ gers and the disinfection of their baggage. The Marine Hospital Service has ample camp material on hand.

The reading of the fond missives sent by Luetgert to the widow occupied much time, several being very lengthy. • While Assistant State’s Attorney Mc­ Ewen read the epistles the jury listened carefully. The render was careful to place due emphasis on each endearing word or phrase and to fully emphasize all reference to the fact that the big sau­ sage manufacturer was anxious for the time to come when he would be free to wed the object of his affection*. When those portions of the letters containing reference to Luetgert's trouble in engag­ ing an attorney were read aloud it evi­ dently embarassed the prisoner. Luetgert’s leading attorney, ex-Judge Vincent, smiled and the prisoner visibly winced when the sentence was heard in which Attorney Vincent was termed "greedy." The letter went on to state that Luetgert intended to release Attor­ ney Vincent, as he did not consider him able to handle so important a case. In another letter Luetgert wrote to the cf- TcrrLbto Explosion of Nitroglycerin ■ t Cygnet, Ob Io. A terrible explosion of nitroglycerin oc­ curred at Cygnet.

It Is understood thnt the na­ tional officials of the minora' union nre willing to accept the operators’ offer of a compromise nt G4 cents, an advance of 11 cents, although the striker* wanted GU cents. The battle has been a costly one for the strikers, according to estimates made by their own officials. The strikers have foot in wage* $10,50(1.000. It is es­ timated thnt in the bituminous coal dis­ tricts vf the country, including Pennsyl­ vania. Ohio. West Virginia, Indiana, Illi­ nois, Iowa and other States, 12,000 men were idle.

An attorney of world-wide fame was to be engaged, and when “the dogs of police" saw who it was they would quail with fear. This as yet unknown lawyer, Luetgert con­ tinued, was to supersede Attorney Vin­ cent and then the ease would be properly conducted. Attorney Vineent shook with silent laughter several times during the above .and similar references. He seemed to re­ gard the matter as a huge joke. Luetgert, whose chances for life were so considerably reduced by the introduc­ tion of tbe letter* as evidence, rocked to and fro In hl* chair, and occasionally forced a slekly smile, during the endearing passages in the letter*. He evidently did not enjoy the public exposition of his ■kistory corresjxmdence. ' Liter ths letter* wer* C* read the re- two years of steady work for the strikers to recover what they have lost.

HAUGHTY BULL’S Diplomatic VICTORY FOR CUBANS THE TOWN OF VICTORIA DE LAS TUNAS CAPTURED. News received at Madrid of the capture of the fortified town ot Victoria de Las Tunas by the Cuban rebels has caused in­ tense pxritemcnt. This victory gives the insurgent* control of the province of San­ tiago de Culm. It is believed they will make Victoria de lots Tunas their seat of gorernmenL and upon it found their ciaim to the United State* for recognition of belligerency. Tbe minister of war nas cabled Captain General Weylet, asking for an explanation regarding the capture of the town, which is defended by seven forts, baring two Krupp guns among thefr armament. The Madrid newspapers commenting u(»on the capture of Victoria de las Tuuas, condemn Captain General Weyler. The Imparcial sdys Genera! Jooroller wns removed from his command for u similar disaster in 1876. It is pointed out thnt tbe strategical position of Victoria de laa Tunas is important.* The government has decided to act vigorous­ ly aud to immediately dispatch further reenforcemeuts to Cuba if necessary. GOLD AND DEATH. templed .the whole vicinity ntapt rifi'eyVille, Gastonville and Orangeville bt-entne wildly excited. About 7 o’clock at nlgbt twenty deputies from Washington. Pa., in the chants of Chi« Deputy Joseph H. Wetheriil, reached Finleyrilla. where they were met by a large crowd of strikers and their friends. Each deputy wa* armed with =, Winchester rifle nnd a revolver, but in spite of thi* the strikers, headed by 1<X» Polish women, dosed in ou them and the deputies received rough treat­ ment. They were gradually foresd back, and finally retreated to Gastonville, where they were followed by a crowd of about 200 men and women. At Gaston­ ville the deputies took refuge lu the office of the company, where they were kept 'all night.* The building was bombarded ■with stones and bricks and an occasional shot wab fired. At 7 o’clock in tbe morn­ ing the trouble of the nightwe-iched a cli­ max when the deputies sallied out from their besieged quarters aud started to Orangeville. Each one carried his Win­ chester in his hands and his revolver wns exposed, but these had no terrors for the besiegers.

Reports from 110 perish priests from counties Clare, Cork, Kerry, Limerick, Tipperary, An­ trim, Armagh, Cavan. Derry, Donegal, Down. Fermanagh, Monaghan and Ty­ rone, all tell the same piteous story of ruined crops, impending destitution and famine." • Comte Henri de Penaloza, who has been visiting friends in St. Louis for a few days, raid 'that the rumor of ou under­ standing between Spain and other Europwiu nations looking to. a cheek upon American interference with Cuba was confirmed, by informa­ tion which came to him from high authiirity. De Penaloza has been intro­ duced in Sl Louis as a member of an old Spanish family whose sympathies are with the Carlhit party, but whose con­ nections with high politics in Spiin keep them posted on most of the lmi>orUut diplomatic movements. He said; "Some time last September, when the Cuban question wns so much agitated in the United States, even to the point of fur­ nishing planks to the declarations of pres­ idential conventions, Senor Canuras del •Castillo, then premier of Spain, received assurances from tbe English and French Government* through their representa­ tives in Madrid that they would not per­ mit any action on the part of-the United States other than a very perfunctory rec­ ognition of the belligerency of the insurg­ ents.

GUATEMALA IN News received from Guatemala is to the effect that the country la iu a had way financially and politically.

All of these houses have been extensively engaged in the exportation of coffee and other Centrpl American products and the im­ portation of merchandise. Besides, a great number ot firms have gone under for Iftm amounts. The total is nearly $8,­ 000,000, but is a trifle misleading, how­ ever, I-eon use it represents Central Amer­ ican money, which is very much depre­ ciated in value. Reina Barrios, who wns president and who declared himself dic­ tator of the republic two months ago, is excessively unpopular because of his re­ cent high-handed action and his cruelties. There is a demand thnt Brosper Morales, a lawyer and former Minister of War, be chosen to succeed Barrios. To prevent this Barrios intends calling n session of the Assembly very soon in order to have himself confirmed ns dictator. If he Is successful war is almost certain, because the country will not longer submit to his oppression. If he is defeated war is just ns sure, because he canuot afford to be driven out of office.

There were 390 delegates present, representing 1,250,000 unionists. The Parliamentary commlttire reported that the legislation iu many de­ cisions of tbe courts during the year 1897 wan rot based on the principles of equity and justice nnd wns calculated seriously to injure the cause of labor and'give cap­ italism an uufair aud improper advant- From a high authority in the Navy De­ partment it ia learned that the influence of that branch of the Government will be thrown against tbe proposition to estab­ lish a government plant for tbe manufac­ ture of armor plate for war vessels. The special board appointed by the Secretary of the Navy to inspect the Bethlehem. Cnrnegie and Illinois Steel Company es­ tablishments, inquire into the cost of arftior and collect facts bearing upon the desirability of having Government armor plate works will not. it is understood, make a definite recommendation, but it will present such data that Secretary Long may legitimately frame conclusions adverse to the suggestion. The spirit of both the House and Senate Committees on Naval Affairs is against the construc­ tion of any more of the huge battle-ships of the fit st class and that those now under construction will probably be the last of the kind ordered by Congress. War ships htfre been growing in sixe until the limit apjtears to have been reached. The larg­ est vessels, by reason of their heavy .draught, are prevented from entering many ports where it would be convenient and desirable for them to go, and they are so cumbersome and bulky that they arc constantly getting out of repair nnd are rarely ready for action on demand. Another reason is tbnt experts in subma­ rine navigation have found thnt it will be as easy to destroy a $5,000,000 war ship as it would be to sink a wooden hulk. H. S. Terry was hanged for the murder of Bely Lanier at Decatur, Ga. The doomed man was pale, but cool nnd col­ lected to tbe last.

In Ruskin every­ thing belongs to everybody; the profit of the community is the profit of each man lu It, and tbe honest endeavor of every member helps the other two hun­ dred and thirty just as much as It does lilnisCif. Each man owns the wealth he helps to make, nud gets the profit of his toll. The plan has been tested by three hard, struggling years; and Its founders no longer regard It as an experiment. They have built a city without avarice, and in Its future lies the solution of the bitter difficulties thnt split the world Into two angry factions, known as labor aud capital. In Ruskin the government is liter­ ally by the people nnd for tbe people. It educates the children, pensions the aged, provides for the sick and gives a home nnd a good living to all. men and women alike, who are willing to work for tpe common good. The president gets tbe same recomjicBse as tbe butch­ er. and neither talent nor training can alter the value of an hour's labor. A journalist by the name of Way­ land, who ran a ialx>r paper in Greens­ burg. Ind.,Avas the first starter of thia new Utopia.

The coln’of the realm Is in the form of paper checks, which represent so many hour.* of labor.

Socialism lived In a Tennes­ see wilderness Is a very different thing from socialism read in a book or sitoken from a platform, and many a time the members would have gladly gone back to theory and left the practice alone. Some tlyopped ont, disheartened, but of the thirty-five original member} twenty still remain. The community can now ahoiy seventy-four heads of fa tn files, und numbers 214 members in all.

Hie people of Ruskin are all from tho laboring classes and many of them have little education, but the greatest Inter­ est Is taken In that of the children. For the smaller ones there is n kindergarten held out of doors In n beautiful grove of beech trees. In addition to tbe reg­ ular school there Is a class 1n flue arts, where drawing, painting, sculpture and pptterymaklng nre studied under Proftwor Isaac Broome, n well-known sculptor, who was one of New York's commissioners to the Paris Exposition. Professor Broome has long been n the­ oretical socialist, nnd has played a prominent part lu the community, though he comes from a much higher walk of life than most of the members. He lakes a leading purt in the-sympo­ siums, ns the weekly meetings for so­ cialistic discussion nre called. The chief claim of the Ruskinltes is that as common people they have skill­ fully managed a great social mid busk ness undertaking, aud so fnr have made no serious mistaken.

In the southern counties more than 52.000 acres thrashed averaged 17.34 bushels nn acre. In the central counti*.*s the average is 14.02 bushels and in the northern counties 15.8 bushels. The area in wheat in the State last May as compiled from the returns of supervisors wns 1,513,919 acres. This is the probable acreage that was harvested this year. Tbe crop this year is the largest produced since 1892, when the yield exceeded 25.000.000 bushels.

We hear it said that a Na«hvllle man was chased out of a house upon the county line last week by an irate woman with a crutch, and that he went in a hurry just as though he had urgent business elsewhere. The attention of the authorities has been called to a couple of Nashville parents who make a practice of brut­ ally beating and maltreating their small children and a repetition of tbe offense will bring the matter into the courts. The township of Bellevue, through Atornety H.. S. Maynard has brought suit against Henry Hamlin, a former treasurer, and G. W.

This horse goes twelve different gaits under sad­ dle and six in harness, and the exhibi­ tions will be well worth seeing.

The bladder was created for one pur­ pose, namely, a receptacle for the urine, and as such It is notjllable to any form of disease except by one of two ways. The first way Is from Im­ perfect action «of’the kidneys. The second way is from careless local treat­ ment of other diseases. CHIEF CAUSE. Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys is the chief cause of bladder trouble- So the womb, like the blad­ der, was created for one purpose and if not doctored too much is not* liable to weakness or disease, except in rare cases. It is situated back of*and very close to the bladder, therefore any pain, disease or inconvenience mani­ fested in the kidneys, back, bladder or urinary passage is often,by mistake attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort Thejerror Is easily made and may be easily avoided. To find out correctly, sev your urine aside for twenty-four hours; a sediment or settling indicates kid­ ney or bladder trouble. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kil­ mer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney and bladder remedy, is soon realized. If you need a medicine you should have the best. At druggists fifty cts. or one dollar. You may have a sample bottle and pamnbet, both sent free by mail. Mention The Nashville News and send your address to Dr. Kilmer & Co.. Binghamton, N. Y.

The people of Vermontville were greatly shocked to hear of the explo­ sion of a threshing engine near Lisbon, Dakota, on Monday, Sept. 13, between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock p. m.. in­ stantly killing Walter Slbbreil and dangerously wounding Lew Phillips and Sam Bale. A few weeks ago Walter and Roy Sibbrel, Lew Phillips, Glen Randall and Herbert Nagle went to Dakota to secured work. The four former im­ mediately found work with Sam Bale to run his threshing machines and Walter was given charge of ope of the engines, he being an experienced en­ gineer. On the first day’s run the en­ gine exploded with the above horrible results. Walter and Lew were with one machine and Roy and Glen were with the other'some 13 miles distant Walter was cut in two and frightfully mangled so that his remains were bur­ ied the next day bv order of the health officer and will be brought home after cold weather sets in. At last advices Mr. Bale *as thought to be out of danger but- Phillips’ con­ dition was considered very serious, and should he recover it is thought his sight is Injured and bis face badly disfigured. The other boys are well; Nagle having a position with the rail­ road company at good wages.—Ver­ montville Echo. 1. A. Francis returned Wednesday noon from Redding, California, where he has been engaged in gold mining. He has been quite successful, and will return in the spring to go to work on his claim.LHe'.brought home with him a fine collection of nuggets and some specimens of quartz bearing free gold in liberal quantities. His claim is in the Immediate vicinity of the famous claim of the Graves brothers, who took out 443,U00 worth of gold from one pocket in three days. A great many complaints are being lodged with deputy game wardens in neighl*oring counties against persons who are bunting and killing squirrels. The attention of sportsmen is called to the fact that under the new law which went Into effect August 29, tbe season for hunting squirrels does not begin until October 1, and the impor­ tance of bearing this In mind Is evi­ dent when it Is known that a hunter may be punished by a sentence of six months in jail or a tine of 8125 or both at the discretion of the circuit court where all cases must now be tried. E. J. Felghner brought suit Wed­ nesday before Justice Marble against Lewis Wellman for commission for finding tbe latter a purchaser for his residence property. The evidence went to show that Wellman put his property in Feighner’a agency to sell for 82,000 and that Mr. F. was to have S25 for finding a customer. John Wertz was prevailed upon to buy the place, but Wellman refused to sell for less tban 82,200 and*retused to pay Mr. F. his commission. The case was, tried before a Jury, who gave Feigbner a judgment for tbe amount claim­ ed, with costs. The auction sale at Baker’s barn to­ morrow (Saturday) promises to be a hummer. H. E.

I pICKS Wisconsin Wonsan starve* that rather than touch an annuity from England, which she had come to Wok upon as blootl money. Mr*. Laura Ar­ mitage starved herself to death, notwith­ standing there wa* nearly in n basket beside her dingy bed. With the demise of this eccentric woman ends n romance which bad Its beginning in En­ gland more than twenty years ngo. Will­ iam Armitage was the younger son of an. English lord, and when he married a pretty ballet daneer he wns packed ofi to America, wife, luggage and all. Being passionately fond of duck hunting, be bought a farm on Lake Koshkonong, noted for thi* kind of sport. Armitage died about ten years ago. and the elder brother and heir to the title offered the widow nn annuity of $400 ou condition that she remain In America. Mrs. Ar­ mitage ha* since lived in a dingy house in Fort Atkinson, with only three faith­ ful dogs for companions. Hur mind ha* been affected for some time, and ft is be­ lieved that brooding over her exile from her native tend caused her to reach the conclusion that It was not right to accept aid from her husband's family. The county authorities were talking about sending the woman to an asylum, but It wa* n delicate matter, and hefore they got nround to it death bad ended her suf-* ferings. The Hazleton, Pa., strike situation may be summarized thus: Over 10,000 men are still out, with no apparent prospect at settlement; sporadic outbreaks of violence are occurring near the outlying colieries and the withdrawal of troops Is not only without consideration, but the guard lines of several of the camps are being con­ stantly strengthened, nnd the wisdom of bringing tgpre cavalry is being discuased.

After nearly three months’ idleness be­ tween 15,000 and 18,000 miners in the Pittsburg district returned to work Thursday in accordance with ihe action taken at Wednesday’s convention author­ izing the men to resume work in al! the mines complying with the provisions of the-scale of 65 cents.adopted at Colum­ bus. The remainder of tbe 23.000 miners of the district will be at work som. It lls.eatims||pd that the strike, which tested ’sixty-fire working days, cost the people of the Pittsburg district from $5,000,000 to $7,000,000. Of this amount the miners lost about $2,250,000 in wages. 1 be Strike ugainst the De Annits will continue indefinitely, arrangements having been made % asfeess the working miners 5 per cent, of tholr wages to defray tbe ex­ penses of keeping up the fight until the 65-cent rate is made uniform throughout the district. Originating as it did in the petty disagreement between the I^h'gh and Wilkesbnrrc Company mule drivers and their employers, nnd having spread until ir now affects nearly 10,000 men r.nd most of the principal operators of the middle coil fields, this strike has been one of the most peculiar ever inaugurat­ ed In the region. The miners have no or­ ganization. In many Instances they do not know exactly for what they, struck, except that they feel that they have been unfairly treated nnd'that they want more pay. In 50 per cent of the Idle collieries, they are at n loss to say how much they wnrit, nnd in such cases they have qulj work without even asking for an Increase. Hope for those who have friends in the Klondike Is held out by Frank Cryder, who came down on the steamer Hum­ boldt. after having spent five years in the Yukon.

Do not understand that 4 am advising any one to go there this winter. 1 am simply stating these facts to encourage those who have friends in tbe North. Lack of shelter will. In my opinion, be responsible for more suf­ fering in the Klondike than will famine. It costs $1,000 for a fair log cabin al­ ready built nnd the time and lnbor in con-, structing a new one would amount to about the same. Where the newcomers with light outfits and empty pockets will lay their brads is an unsolved problem." As to the mining outlook Cryder declared that $25,000,000 will be taken this win­ ter from tbe claims on Bonanza and El­ dorado creeks, while from the Birch, Miller nnd Munook districts will be wash­ ed about $290,000.APPROVES OF POSTAU BANKS.* Poitniiter General Garr Stt/dylax Postmaster General Gory is devoting considerable attention these days to nn investigation of the xvisdom of establish­ ing postal savings banks. When in the last Congress a bill was sent to him pro­ viding for such institutions he declined to indorse it because, as he anid, he had not hnd an opportunity to investigate the subject. He has since token up the mut­ ter, rending all the literature bearing up­ on it.ht could procure und seeking oppor* tunity to discuss Its merits with those fa­ miliar with it.

The lynching of the five Osgood men at VensaiUea, the county seat of Ripley County, has, perhtfpa. no parallel in the hiwtory of Indiana. The prisoners were confined in the county jail on the charge of burglary. They all reaided in the town of Osgood, and were supposed to belong to an organized band of thieves and high­ waymen which has been robbing nnd ter­ rorising the citizens of Ripley County for a number of year*. They were twaiting trial for having attempted to break into the general atqre of Wooley Itos, at Cor­ rect Saturday night. Gordon and An­ drews were captured at the time after arunning .fight, and after each -tad been severely wounded. The other prisoners were detained on the charge of having assisted in the attempted burglary, nnd whoae guilt seemed evident. Public feel­ ing had been aroused against the pris­ oners because they had so often escsped the- penalties of the law. Sheriff Henry Bushing and-wife were away from home. He bad been badly wounded while trying to capture the men Saturday night, and the jnil wns in chnrge of his brother-in-lnw, W. T. Kennen. ”* turnkey, and William Black. ---------At 12:45 o’clock they werc'arouscd by the ringing of the door bell. Kennen and Block went down and opened the door. Three mask­ ed men with a revolver in each hand con­ fronted them. The lender said: -"Hwld up.your bands! We demand *he keys of the jnil." Kennen looked into the muz­ zles of six revolvers, nnd after some re­ sistance was taken to tbe kitchen and found the keys. Kennen and Block were locked in a cell nnd three men with re­ volvers made their way througb^the grat­ ing nnd others went to find the'prisoners, who had nil retired. In the lower cel I rooms were confined Levi, Shuler nnd Jenkins, and there the visitors proceeded first. Levi was first awakened, and, refusing to throw up his hands at the command of the leader, two pistol shots were henrd, and he fell to tbe floor pierced to the heart. Shuler, lying on his cot, refused to get up, but bogged for his life. A stroke upon the head from a heavy stick silenced him! and be rolled to the floor. Jenkins’ fate wns similar, and the three bodies were carried to the main corridor, and the lynchers made their way upstairs, where Gordon nnd Andrews were found. They, being wound­ ed, submitted w*ithont much effort. Their hands were tied behind them, ropqf were placed around their necks and they were "dragged down the stairway where their eomranions lay. Ropes l»eing placed around the necks of all the order was given, "Poll on the ropes, boys,- and hurry up." Two squares north of the jail ou the bluff near the famous ‘'Gordon’s Leap” was found an old elm tree, and to its toughened limbs were hanged the maim­ ed and bruised bodies of the five prisoners, naked and ghastly. The scone was, ap­ palling, and the bodies wore soon ent । down and covered under the shade of the tree. Hundreds visited the scene the fol­ lowing day, and hardly n twig of the old elm remains, .having been carried away by the curious throng. A man named Hostetter a couple of weeks ago had given n tip to the county officials, nnd through him the men were caught. lie said they met nnd planned nt Jenkins* house, and he (Jenkins) said he would help them out at any time, but how much, if any, they were implicated will never be known, ns they were-given no chance to deny or defend themselves. Osgood had grown notoriobs the last two years on account of the many high­ way robberies nnd hold-ups committed I there. Last winter an aged couple—Mr. and Mrs. Riueking—living north of town were tortured nnd robbed while alone at their home. The night of April 1 Mr. and Mrs. Baulkman, living six mill's from Osgood, were tortured by three masked men. who demanded their money. They made the odd lady, who was quite infirm, walk over red-hot coals to tell where her money was. They got nothing but a gun and n few trifles. The latter part of the name month Mr. nnd Mrs. Kammon of Milan were treated in a similar manner by masked men. - The two Dr. Josephs of Osgood place were arrested, charged with the robbery, but proved r.u alibi and were acquitted without trouble. Men have been held up on the streets and bouses without number broken into the last two years, but it seemed ns though the guilty ones could never be caught How much or how -little these men were implicated in these robberies may never be known. Ttfe banging is a blot on the name of Ripley County. It is the largest number ever hanged at a lynching in the State and only the second rope execution ever In the county. Twenty years ago Tim Boyd of Moore's Hill, who was in jailYor committing an assault, was visited by a mob nnd seventeen bullets shot into him. but nothing has ever aroused the peoplc like this tragedy. People drove into Ver­ sailles from all over tbe county and groups stood around discussing it. Schools were dismissed and business is at i: stand­ still. Tbe families of the men are almost insane from the shock. The bodies were taken to Osgood and delivered to their several-homes. . The sheriff received a message from the Governor to use all moans in his power to apprehend the men composing the mob. However, It seems that the sheriff is pow­ erless, ns no means of identification of a single man hns l>een obtained. The Gov­ ernor, realising this and also that the sym­ pathies of tbe community seemed with the lynchers, sent Merrill Moores, deputy attorney general, to tbe acene of the lynching, with instructions to make a full investigation <irhl spare no expense in bringing the lynchers to justice. then resumed his march, tiuwing right and left to tbe people. The effect ui>on the crowd that saw the affair was instantanoeus and awakened the greatest excite­ ment. The police started away with the prisoner by a side street, hoping to avoid any further disturbance. Hundreds of mon ran after the police- shouting for vengeance upon the man. “Give him to us,” they cried, “and we will hang him.” But the gendarmes succeeded in keep­ ing their prisoner, being re-enforced by cavalrymen, the great crowd shouting and running behind. The man was taken to the palace and stripped, but no weapon was found on his person, lie was taken away to the city ball, securely bound ::nd placed in sslitnry confincmenL At night a great mob of common iieople broke iuto the jail by forcing th4 doors with huge timbers handled by 100 men.

A sensational escape and a quick cap­ ture caused much excitement at the Ohio penitentiary Thursday night. Just be­ fore the hour when the prisoners wash for supper and the guards arc shifted for tbe night turn, William Clark, a Cuyahoga County murderer doing a life sentence tnd employed in the brdtonshop, called Guard Duncan of Mount Gilead, ostensi­ bly to show him a hole in the floor. Dun­ can leaked over and was struck a vicious blow in the back of the neck with n piece of gas pipe. Bert Spriggs, a Delaware County convict, started to assist the guard, when Clark, adtancing with Dun­ can's revolver, which had fallen from his pocket, threatened to shoot. Clark ran to the guardroom at the front gates and gave the guard's signal with the iron handle. Capt. Kaxbe, us usual, ojiened the gate. A< soon n» Clark passed the gate he opened tire on the crowd of guards and spectators. His aim was wild. In the guardroom he pulled the trigger again and shot Benjamin F. James, a Dela­ ware'County colored sub-guarJ, in the th in. Chirk wns closely followed in his. at­ tempt to escape by William Dempsey, jointly convicted with him of murder. Clark ran\throuch the guardroom, fired at the guard in the reception room, and esenpctl into the street. A federal prisoner named Sartor, em­ ployed as a "trusty” in the prison yard, seized a rifle which a guan! had dropped in the excitement and ran past the guard­ house close on the heels of Clark. When the fugitive i.■ached the bank of the 8c’oto River he paused a minute. Sartor quickly leveled the rifle nnd commanded C’ark to surrender on pain of death. The convict obeyeil, his revolver being empty, and was recaptured by the guards, who had recovered their presence of mind by that time.

QUICK DUMPIXG DEVICE. The world’s eye is upon the United States, looking for its wheat supply, and there Is every indication that wo will have wheat enough to sell to make us ail feel rich and happy. Late In August and in September the heavy movement begins, and thereafter tbe grain goes to Europe In a constant stream, amounting in ordlsary years to about 85.0(>0.000 bushels, nnd It has run up to 132,850,lliw. bushels during this period. It would not surprise any of the more experienced wheat oper­ ators If the Uplted States were called upon this year to ‘supply the world something like 200,000,000 bushels of wheat. At 80 cents a bushel this would bring Into the country $100,0000,000 In gold or its equivalent. Such enormous sums, however, are not earned without an enormous amount of labor. Part of this Is tbnt of the farmer, but another part, and one that forms a large share of tbe total cost to the consumer, is that of transportation. The wheat fields of Europe fall so far short of feeding the people about them that hundreds of millions of bushels are drawn from sources thou­ sands of miles distant. The three great wheat fields for this supply are our own. those of southern Russia, few cars are. made which hold 80,000 pounds.- Regular, grain cars have an luslde door of light plank­ ing, which is'bung on hinges that slide down rods set in the car. one on each side of the doorway. When this door la not In use it is raised to the ceiling, where It lies flat and- Is hooked fast. When the car Is to be loaded it Is run alongside a grain bin and a telescopic chute Is lowered into one doorway. The grain doors are closed, a valve is opened nnd the grain pours Into tbe car until .it Is two-thlrds full, the reg­ ular load. The railroad contracts to bring the grain from Chicago and de­ liver it alongside a vessel anywhei^ In New York harbor for 20 cents a bushel. The car Is run Into the ele­ vator structure there on the ground floor. A man with a crowbar pries up tbe grain door nnd the wheat comes rushing out nnd falls into a pit beside the car. There are Iron gratings over the pit to keep oat coarse objects and for the w&rkmun to walk upon. Down nt the bottom of tbe pit Is the opeh cud of nn iron abaft. Inside of which works an endless belt faced with steel cups set a foot apart. When tbe belt starts tbe grain la caught up In the cups and delivered in an almost unbroken stream at the top of the building, where the cups tip over as they start to return. In half an hour a car Is un­ loaded and the last vestiges of grain are swept out and another car takes Its place. All over the elevator floor ore other cars unloading. No wheat is loaded directly from the elevators into ships at harbor, but goes to them In bargee. Beside the elevator lie tiers of vessels, built like canal D Kr LOADING A GRAIN BARGE AT A CHICAGO ■ nd the newly developed ones of the | Isiats. From the scales the grain Argentine Republic.

The prime requisites—os summed up In my mind after long experience and thought—are these: The woman who makes photography profitable must have, as to l>ersonal qualities, good common sense, unlimited patience to �OUR CHICAGO MARKET AN OPEN LETTER Tbe beam have no inceeM in th«lr effort. to depredate tbe value erf wheat, the reactions thue far having been .;»**nKxUc with a ibarp upturn in every instance. Tbe history of wheat the pact mouth la that whenever wheat baa been beaten down to tbe vicinity of tbe Wc. mart the reaultaut buying baa been of Hoch a character aa to quickly take the market away from the Belling element and force them to buy back at a good advance the wheat they had Hold. Il waa ao last Saturday when wheat fell to 90 on nou-aupport by iU friends, which encouraged abort aalea. The re­ bound waa 92X- To-day there waa a determ­ ined effort to break the price, and under tbeee conditions it broke to 91X- Then baying ordeia came Into the market and they together with reports of large acceptance# by Europe, •ent tbe quoUtlona to 93J{ in no time. Thia inherent strength of wheat ahould be moat gratifying to tbe farmer. Heretofore he has been compelled to accept a price range of from 60 to 65 cents in thia market. But now tbe minimum price seems to be 90 cents, with the average range for tbe laat 30 days sever­ al cents above that price. Tbe statement made in thia correspondence in regard to tbe gener­ al condition aa evidenced by reports from this country and abroad to Schwarts, Dupecit Co. have been more than fulfilled. Wheat having risen from 65 cents to 11.00 and bolding firm aboye 90 cents since the top was reached. In regard to tbe present situation in corn it may be said that the recent decline waa due to liquidation by weak holders far more than any change In the statistical position of tbe grain. Beat estimates are that the crop will not excMd 1,750,000 bu., while tbe government fig­ ures were 2,000,000 higher. Tbe relative posi­ tions of corn and wheat just now, are such that dose observers figure corn too low. Provisions recovered quickly from tbe yellow fever scare, and with tbe excellent cash de­ mand now existing it la plain that a vast sum of money must be paid In the west for its pro­ ducts of this sort aa well as for wheat and cotn and that the present excellent, prices are not believed to be fictitious or temporary is shown in the continued advance in the securities of western roads. Northwestern, Burlington, 8tPaul and Rock Island have gone steadily up­ ward. more than meeting the expectations of ite friends, and It Is not often that Wall street is so thoroughly in accord with the west on a matter of such great Importance. Undoubtedly the wheat acreage of the world will be Increased during the next year, and with good crops thia will lead to lower prices, but aa to. tbe present supply of breadstuffs tbe outlook Is most hopeful.

He was taken before a Hastings’ jus­ tice and fined $35.00 or sixty days iu the county jail. He secured ball and furnished security for costs to carry his suit to the circuit court. On the 24th of August Frank Thorn­ ton. who was employed by Ernest Pen­ nock as a farm hand, took it into bis bead that he would market a few bushels of his employer’s wheat, and accordingly sold J. B. Marshall seven bushels. Later Mr. Pennock discov­ ered'what his employe had done and he Immediately caused a warrant to be Issued for his arrest. The warrant was placed in Deputy Sheriff Appelman’s hands and Monday night Thornton was_..taken to Hastings to await bls hearing, which was set for next Monday before EsquireFelghner. We understand that Thornton ac­ knowledged the theft, but said that he took four bushels instead of seven. He was In the employ of Wash. Abbey last winter and up to the time he went to work for Pennock he was always considered an honest boy. He will probably get a term In Ionia which will serve a good lesson for him.

TO WORK FOR THE GOOD OF ALU Mmundii Talk* of the Object* of the Monetary Commiaiion. The monetary commission resumed it* sessions in Washington Thursday, with ex-Senator Edmunds presiding. Several of the members addressed the eomnmsion on financial topics. These discussions will Ik* private, as they arc mainly for the purIKise of bringing out every phase of the monetary question. Ex-Senator Edmund* said concerning the geo]>e and purposes of the commission: ••Naturally and necessarily it may be *np|Mised that no particular plan* or changes in the laws would at present either be agreed upon or even proposed, but rather that the first labor* of the com­ mission would l»e devoted to ascertaining the existing condition of thing*, as affect­ ing all interests of the people, and what evils or danger* now exist.

While fire was destroying the Mtisec Theater nt Toronto, Ont., a team ot horses attached to a large fire .engine took fright nnd ran away with the engine, with fatal results. Tbe engine was getting up steam and was thickly surrounded by jx-ople. The horses plunged madly into the crowd, .killing one boy aud injuring ten iHirspns. some of them possibly fatally. The flames made rapid headway, and be­ fore the fire was got under control the Musee. or Bijou, Theater, where the ac­ tors were preparing to give an entertain­ ment. was completely destroyed. Rog­ ers’ furniture warorooms nnd factory ad­ joining were damaged. The loss will be about $50,000. According to special dispatches from Simla, the British, who captured Bad* manai pass, held by the Hnddah Mullah, with a large force of Mohmands and Shinwarta. have pushed on from the pass, and without opposition have occupied Jarobi, the village nnd headquartent of the Haddnh Mullah, who has fled. It is believed thnt the capture of the village and the flight of the priest will break the back of tbe opposition of the tribesmen to the further advance of the British. 8 team ar Ethclgonda Saved. of the saving of the British steel steamer* Ethelgondn, which went ashore in the harbor of St. Lucia, West Indies, last June.

Cowhided an Editor. CbL Patrick McDonald, editor and poli­ tician. wbo is widely known in political Mr*. Sarah Frankfort. Brady, u dressmaker, at iumbufl agreement. Say* Mr. purlin: "The minera of WIools should get a price equal to the Columbus scale. The price which they were forced to accept last May nnd which they refused to continue work on is not enough to keep body and soul together. The average, miner with steady work can not earn more than $1 per day. the year around. Slavery for the miners would be preferable to the wage* they were getting, for in slavery they would get enough to eat and drink and wear, while under present conditions nnd prices they are forced to work for they can not buy provisions enough, let alone clothe themselves and families. Since they came out the prices of provision.* have advanced, particularly flour, to not less than $1 per 100." Mr. Devlin says the cause of the miners is a ju«t one. SHORTAGE OF RUSSIAN WHEAT. Be None for Export. But little wheat will be shipped from Russia during the season of 1897-98 for the simple reason that there is little avail­ able for export. The failure of the wheat crops in Auatro-Hungary, Roumanla and Bulgaria has brought buyers into Russia from those countries und the wheat will go to them by rail. How much of this wheat Russia can afford to let go is n question now- being discussed. While hints are thrown out thnt the export of cereals, mny be altogether prohibited, it is believed these have no foundation and that the Russian Government will never again make the-mistake It did in the famine year of prohibiting export*. The publication by the British Govern­ ment of the blue book on the fur seal conference bus greatly annoyed the State Department nt Washington because, while Mr. Chamberlain's dispatch tn an­ swer to Mr.’ Sherman’s celebrated dis­ patch of May 10 is given publicity, the department up to this , time has not re­ ceived a copy of this dispatch, and does not seem to know of its existence except through the newspapers. Inasmuch as the British press has so freely criticised what it has been pleased to call “shirt­ sleeve diplomacy," and has rend the State Department mapy a homily on the neces­ sity of observing diplomatic proprieties, the department thinks it curious, to say the least, that a dispatch should be made public before H has been received by thr Svejnmcnt jo which It is addressed. But is is nut the least curious thing about this diplomatic episode. In the first place, it is unusual, not to say irregular, that a dispatch addressed by the State Depart­ ment to the foreign office (the only me­ dium of communication between the two governments) should be answered by the colonial office. State Department officials understand why Lord Salisbury has not replied to Mr. Sherman's dispatch. Some time ago u New York paper gave what purported to be the text of that dispatch, but which were really merely the con­ clusions from n recital of tbe facts. These fact* show conclusively that Great Brit­ ain has persistently and willfully violated the spirit and Intent of the Paris award, and constitute tbe strongest indictment ever drawn by one nation against an­ other. This Sa the reason, a Washington correspondent says, why Lord Salisbury has never answered except "by anticipa­ tion" Mr. Sherman's dispatch. Moonshiners Nonplused. J. W. Wooten,, a United States deputy marshal, of Breathitt. County, was shot at aud struck a dozen times In "an en­ counter with moonshiners on lop of JacY•»***-•Mountain. Wooten stood still as a rock while the leaden storm poured upon him, r.nd when two moonshiners had ex­ hausted the magazines of their guns rushed forward and captured tbc-m, sin­ gle handed. Wooten is tbe first man in the county to introduce a steel shirt of mail as a protection from the bullets of moonshiners. He came through tbe fight with scarcely a mark upon him. He stood within 50 yards of the men who were firing at him. and took the desperate chance that their aim would be so good that they would not miss his chest. The two moonshiners were amazed, and think­ ing there wns some supernatural protec­ tion to Wooten, dropped their guns at the word of command and were easily cap­ tured. Wooten's undershirt is made of smail steel rings overlapping each other, something on the order of the feathers on a bint It is. three-ply, the rings being ad­ justed so that the garment is flexible, and yet the steel wire of which the rings nre composed resisted the impact of* a 44-caliber bullet fired from a rifle distance of 50 yards.

The latter sunk in two minutes, aud in full view of thousands of people who crowded to tbe piers.

When threshing grain framer* abonk! appreciate the necessity, of separating the grain chaff from the straw for win­ ter feeding. If the straw is to be sold for bedding or used for bedding at home It will go farther if free from £ haff. The latter is much the best part of the straw to feed. When nature makes the grnln. a!l the valuable nutri­ tion is concentrated in or neaf the head. Some of this romaine In the chaff.

The man who Irrigates has the control of moisture supply In his own hands. But this does not wholly apply to fi^ilt growing. In arid climates air, as well as soil, must be kept moist to develop the best fruit. For many years Cali­ fornia fruit wns dry and poor In qual­ ity, though fine looking. Now Califor­ nia air in the dry season is loss arid than It used to btf, and Its fruit Is bet­ ter. Burning Weed*. It Is far better to rot the weeds by burying theju under the soil while green than to rely on burning them after they have ripened their seeds. It Is com­ monly supposed thnt when a weed Is* burned, its seed also perishes. Only if piled on brush, which will make coaln of fire at tbe bottom of the heap, 1* this the case. The weed seed drops as the jwxl which encloses It shrivels with heat, and us carbonic add gns settles to the bottom of theiieap, the noxious seed Is preserved from burning. The best kind of grasses to sow ui»n a marsh subject to overflow, according to some of the best authorities, are four pounds red top. two of fowl meadow grass, four of timothy and one or two of alslke clover per acre. In many cases low' lands can be easily drained or partially freed of water by the dig­ ging of one or two dltche*. If this can be done, it surely should be prnctlctxl. for low lauds nfe the richest und best ‘^or grasses. Corn on Ont*idc Rows. In cutting corn we always used to notice that the outside rows where the horse turned in cultivation had general­ ly larger and better filled cars titan did the corn farther In the field. This in­ dicates that corn Is usually planted too closely and does not get sunlight enough. The outside row Is not gener­ ally richer than tbe sol! fartner in Ute field, and certainly the trampling of the ground by the horses’ feet is no ad­ vantage to the crop. FINE FEATHERS FOR WEE LUNCHERS. burg so badly imitates, just the place for it to show best will be on Marjorie's dancing gown. A bib finish at the yoke In front nnd epaulettes over the sleeves will, with the collar, be quite enough. The small picture here makes this favored model plainer. For it a pretty material Is light weight taffeta lu hair­ line stripes and dainty colors. Mus­ lins, of course, are always pretty, but at this season it is as well to make a change from the summer dresses. Lawn slips over silk foundations nre ns dainty now as ever, and there Is a pretty no­ tion for festooning the lawn with baby ribbon In many colors. But remember, whatever you choose, the frock must .have the effect of pretty simplicity, nnd do put her feet into old-fashioned silpjmts like those shown herewith. Just now the tots a size smaller are gotten up rather elaborately for their grand, if smnll-slzed, functions on the lawn about midday, or within doors for later hours. An exquisitely pretty adaptation of evening dress Is affected for these great occasions.— The wee luneliers are seen lu elaborate gowns of accordion pleated mulls set off with lace insertion and endless ribbons. These little drosses may be made over ajlk. but there Is a fancy just now thnt the sleeves, nnd a red ribbon .belt fin­ ished with sash ends. Next It is n gown of brown cheviot. Its waist had a deep yoke in front, was gathered at back and sides, and Its epaulettes and drap­ ed revers were cut in one. Red flan­ nelette was the fabric of the last model, which Included a red Chinn silk blouse. Its jacket was pleated at the sides, had turned down collar and crossed revers, nnd fastened with a black silk cord loop. The most practical design for the small school frock Inchides bodice, skirt nnd jacket. The jacket mny seem superfluous just now, but iu a very lit­ tle while It will lx- quite necessary. This fall's jackets are mostly short and boxy, In either empire or eton cut. Sometimes the little bodice beneath Is made with ueck cut out to wear with a gulmne, which makes the little spbool costume pretty and light for the House, while with the jacket she is well pro­ tected iu the street.

That they will continue the prosperity of the “Old Reliable” Is a sure thing. Drop in and see them. We have often wondered what San­ ford J.

Rock Island Train Robbed by Five Outlaws. A Rock Island 'passenger train was held up near Chickasha, I. T., by a band of five robbers. The bandits lay secreted near the section house until within a half­ hour of train time, when they took -posnession of the section house ami nil with­ in. They then secured the switch keys, opened the aiding and flagged the train. The train men wondered what it all meant, but ran upon the track until stop­ ped by a car of coal, half of the passen­ ger train remaining upon the main track. The robbers immediately boarded the engine, drew the fire nnd opened the mud valve. They used dynamite on tbe ex­ press car door nnd entered, then went to work on the local and through safes. The through safe contained n large amount of currency, but it resisted the explosives. The local safe gave way after two or three attempts, nnd everything within it was secured, amounting to several hun­ dred dollars. The bandits were not at ali satisfied with this, nnd three of them, in­ cluding their leader, went through the day coaches nnd sleeper, securing every­ thing of value from the passengers.

It's a million to one shot, a horse to a horsehair, I won’t be elected. But It'll turn down Josiah Quincy, and I'm out to do him.” It was John L Sullivan who did the talking. Tbe big ex-champion was found at Willi­ mantic, in New York, where his show was billed for the evening. “What was the trouble between you and Quincy?" was asked. “He threw me down,” replied Sullivan, “at Fanyul Hall, tbe night of the Ten Eyck reception.

Dur­ ing the storm the hawser which connect­ ed the seboouer to the tug parted and the schooner went adrift, n<>r could those on the tug afterwards see her. While it is not .thought the Bryant has been lost, grave fears for her safety nre entertained. She carried a cret^of seven men and two passengers, tbe latter being Engineer Tur­ ner nnd his wife of the steamer Eliza An­ derson.

It cannot be said that the fall pf the Spanish cabinet caused surprise among the officials of the State l>eparunent or among the members of the diplomatic corps in Washington. A careful inspec­ tion of thex-ab'.f news for the past few weeks had left- the general Impression that tbe ctfbinet erected iix baste nft<w tbe assassination of Premier Canovaa could not be expected to survive long. There were several reasons for this ex­ pectation, but perhaps the prindpa* one was the belief thnt the dissensions among the supporters of the Government caused by the personal encounter between the Duke of Tetuan, the minister for foreign affairs, and one of the leaders of the dis­ sident conservatives. Senator Comas, had not been healed, but had been only bridg­ ed over temporarily. The dissident con­ servatives at the time insisted upon tbe rerignntion of the duke as n condition o£ their, further support of the GovernmentAs the Government depended'not upon a homogenous party, but rather upon a union of various elements .generally op­ posed to liberal ideas for its existence, this was n threatening condition, and n crisis was averted only through strenuous efforts of conservative leaders. Secretary Sherman does not believe that it will materially affect the relation* of Spain either to the United States or to Cuba, which seems to indicate an expecta­ tion on his part that the new cabinet will be found to be still of a conservative ten­ dency. On tbe other band, high official* in the administration expect thnt a liberal cabinet will be erected. If this should be the cake the future is held-to be full of promise for Cuba, for it is recalled that the liberals have not hesitated to express their opposition to the great expenditureof human life and vast treasure in the effort to carry out the repressive conserv­ ative program for the conduct of tbe war.. It is not believed thnt the liberals areprepared to go to the length of promisingfreedom to Cuba, but from the expres­ sions of the leaders of the party is it hop­ ed that they nre willing to grant so liberab a measure of home rule uud autonomy tothe island that of Spanish sovereignty­ nothing would, remain save a shred in thewny of a few preferential duties, and^wrTlaps the power of appointing some official* corresponding to the governor general of Canada, named by the British crown. BIG FIRE AT WASHINGTON. Million Dollar Conflagration Visit* the National Capital. In Washington, fire broke out in the central power station of the Capital Trac­ tion Company a few minutes before 11 o’clock Wednesday night, and in thirty minutes the magnificent six-story struc­ ture was doomed. The building oecupie* the entire block from Pennsylvania avenue to C street, and from Thirteen and One-half street to Fourteenth street. Theblaze started on the southwest corner and. despite the efforts of the entire fire de­ partment swept like wind through the enormous building. Tbe heat was so in­ tense that the xnen were driven from the adjoining streets. When it become evi­ dent that do efforts could save th« power station, tbe department turned its atten­ tions to the adjoining property, but tbe flames leaped across Fourteenth street on the west to a big livery stable nnd then across Thirteenth and One-half street on the east and attacked a row of threestory brick houses. • So fearful was the heat that the firemen could not get within reach of tbe burning buildings. They were driven back foot by foot until the streams from the hose­ pipes could not reach the fire. The entire fire department was'on tbe scene, but so fierce wi« the conflagration that their ef­ forts were futile. The power house wns built four yeans ago. It was six stories in height, ajid besides containing the pow­ er plant of the Pennsylvania avenue line* of the Capital Traction Company wa* occupied by dozens of offices. The walls began to fall by 12 o'clock,, and with the decreasing heat the firemen were enabled to get to work on adjoining property. Two hours after the first alarm, wns given the huge building wns reduced to a few crumbling walls, nnd damage tothe extent of nearly a million dollars had been done. The losq, on adjoining build­ ings will not be large, ns those burned areold and small. At ope time the offices of* the Southern Railway were threatened,, but prompt work by the firemen checked, the flames. FEW LEADERS PRESENT. jonx cupanr.

The much-advertised national labor convention in Chicago was not ns well attended a gathering us had been expect­ ed, as the original call for the conven­ tion had been rescinded aud many big­ labor organizations that had been expect­ ed to be represented were not in evidence. Among the labor men present wereFrank Egger, national secretary and or­ ganizer of the Hotel and Restaurant Na­ tional Alliance and Bartenders’ National League; J. A. Ferguson, D. M. MacDon­ ald nnd E. Boice of Butte, MonL; M. P. Carrick and W. A. Klinger, Pittsburg;. B. it. Creeden, Wallace, Ida., and many representatives of local reform organiza­ tions. Many of those present said that Presi­ dent Gompers of the American Federation; of Labor was to blame for the interfer­ ence of the arrangements of the original, call for a monster convention. They said, the statement issued by Gompeni advis­ ing all labor organizations to keep away from tbe convention was the result of' jealousy, Gompers feeling aggrieved be­ cause his name was not signed to the call.

The agricultural department of the University of California is raising a new kind of sheep. The superintendent -of tbe experiment station at Paso Ro­ bles has succeeded In breeding a vari­ ety of sheep that will mean much to the wool and meat markets. It Is the result of the cross-breeding of Persian and Merino. Experiments along the -same lines, though not so complete, were conducted by George Washington -with marked advantage. Cutting Down Trees. There is a stringent law In Japan -that when one camphor laurel Is cut ■dowp. another must l»e planted in its place.

It is a matter of wonderment to many why so large a proportion of fanners build their homes close to the road when they have the whole farm ■behind them. Instead of a fresh green lawn in front of the house, there is -only the dusty road, with its curious paasers-by and clouds of dust from every passing team.

Plowing for Wheat. When plowing for wheat It will t>» better to let the plow go deep, then bar­ row fine, fallowing with a land roller, which will leave tbe surface in excel­ lent. shape for the drill. The seed can be j»ut in deep and'the land may again be rolled wjih-advantage. but the most important of nil is the plowing nnd harrowing. Some farmers object to deep plowing, ns they claim that the fertilizer is kept nearer tbe surface, and that loss occurs of plant foot! dur ihg the winter, but where the subsoil is compact there will be no loss from deep plowing when a thrifty crop oc­ cupies the soil. Deep plowing also hv> sens the liability of the plants beln.% thrown out by frost, especially If the roller Is used. Grow Navy Beans. There Is one crop grown in this eon;*try that is never up to the demand, and that Is white navy beans. As many bushels of beans can be grown pe? acre ns of wheat, and tbe straw Is ac­ cepted ns food, being better than thnt from wheat. It Is supposed that th*» lalM>r of growing beans takes away th5 profit, but If the lalwr of growing beano ami wheat is compared It will l>e found that beans can Ik* grown at the same* cost as wheat, as better machinery for growing and harvesting lieans can now l>e employed than formerly.

People in the excursion business have u strict regard for veracity, and many of his friends believe every word of IL says the St. Louis Republic. Several years .ago, the story runs, Mr. Grissom was in SL James parish, La. He had occasion to visit a sawmill where ths big cottonwood logs were be­ ing cut into lumber. His attention was attracted to a particularly large log, when suddenly there was a loud crash, like that of the tseth striking a noil. Windows were broken, men shouted and the machinery was stopped. Mr. Grissom was not hurt as he had im­ agined. Something had happened and he stop'ped to sec the cause. The big log was removed from the rack and split open. A large cannon ball was imbedded in the center. The saw had struck it and broke into a ’myriad of pieces which flew in all directions. Five pieces passed through his hat, one struck his watch and glanced off, an­ other hit a silver dollar. in his vest pocket and left a scratch along its sur­ face. Luckily, none of the flying par­ ticles struck his body or did other in­ jury than break a few panes of glass in the office compartment.

The South African fiber haa been worked Into webs, which are but little inferior to those made of vegetable fiber, and arc absolutely fireproof. Twine, cord and rope made of thia blue asbestos will not only resist fire, but also most of the known chemicals, corrosive vapors and atmospheric influences. 1'hese qualities will open a new field for the employment of asbeatos fabrics in chemical laboratories, and for the caulking of chemical apparatus. A novel application of thia material Is the working of blue asbestos fiber into mattresses for hospitals. They are cooler in summer and warmer in winter, than those made either of ani­ mal hair or vegetable fiber, and no vermin can live in this mattress. Experimerits are now being made of working thin fiber into cloth for firemen’s ap­ parel. Of. course the long fiber blue as­ bestos can also be employed foe-all the uses to which white asbestos has been put heretofore.

It was established in Vienna in 1707, when there was great distress among the poor in the southern part of the em­ pire. It was designed as a way to secure to the starving some means of immedi­ ate relief, and by putting thfe rate of in­ terest as low as possible, and embody­ ing in the syatem every advantage that could be given to those who sought to make loans, it was found to be so ef­ fective that it soon gained the imperial sanction, and it was not long until its managers were made public officials under the direction of the minister of the interior. This is substantially tho status of the institution at tills time. The rates are so low that the business done on the cheap goods and chattels of the poor could not possibly moke the establishment self-austaining; but peo­ ple who hare been suddenly reduced fncircumstancesorwho are temporarily embarrassed, keep the margins on the right side and enable the institution to keep open without the aid of a subsidy. In the year 1803 a total of 866,015 ar­ ticles were pledged, and of these 84S,662 were redeemed, a remarkable re­ demption as compared with the propor­ tions of the average pawnshop. The unredeemed pledges were sold by pub­ lic auction and whenever they brought more than the face of the pledge the balance was set to the account of the pledger, to be refunded any time with­ in three years.

Their statements are corroborated by letters received by the same steamer. A small number of these men may find work at Skaguay, but for the great majority there will be nothing to do for months. Many of them are poor­ ly equipped to stand the weather even now prevailing, which ranges from con­ stant rain on the coast to ice and snow on the'summlL Skgguay river Is a raging stream no longer fordable, and wherever there Is any soil, the mud is now knee deep. Men who returned to Skaguay just before the storm found many of their fellows who broke down and wept as they related the story of their misfortunes. An old man named Henshaw and his son had a large odtfit two-thirds of the way over Lake Bennett, when their five horses were poisoned by wild parsnips on the meadows beyond tha summit of Skaguay trail and died. Hcuahaw had but a few dollars left, and could neither buy more horses nor pack his out­ fit to the lake. Early last week the two were in despair, and the storm which fol­ lowed spoiled their provisions, besides leaving them blockaded. The difficult sit­ uation of those at Dyea and Skaguay is emphasized by the fact that those who had enough money to buy passage home on the City of Seattle consider themselves very lucky, even though they have lost $200 to $500 each and forty to sixty days’ An immense quantity of provisions has been destroyed by the storms. ( The men who arrived home say that flour, bacon, beanm, apples and dried fruits may be seen scattered along both trails between the coast and the summit. Two men from California worked hard packing their out-’ fits over, but at t)ie end of six weeks they gave up on the summit. The rain hnd already destroyed part of their provisions. Of two dozen •men wfco engaged in the packing business on the Skaguay trail only George L. Rice made any money. He was there when the rush l>egnn nnd Is now running two saloons nnd gambling places nt the summit nnd at Skaguay. Two men have succeeded in running ca­ bles access the Skaguay river where the bridge was washed* out.

They took a portion of the books to the steam­ er and then decided to send the remainder by express at 0 o’clock. When Lieut. Gov. Northcott and General Recce started for the depot to take a train, they were fol­ lowed by a crowd nnd pelted with to­ matoes. They took refuge in the Wood­ men office. Afterward they attempted to board the Burlington train going south at 6:10. The crowd was nt the depot, and when Mr. Reece sfibwed himself it was a signal for the opening of hostilities. Mr. Reece was pounded and cuffed, but suc­ ceeded iu boarding the train, where he was further assaulted while on the way to Clinton. Mr. Northcott was frightened at the outbreak and succeeded in return­ ing to the waiting room, which was sur­ rounded by the crowd, which kept grow­ ing. He was kept a prisoner there until 8 o’clock, the citizens preventing aerioui outbreak. Sheriff Fuller requested Gov. Tanner to send militia. Major Anthony of Sterl­ ing, Captain McGrath aud forty members of Company G of Dixon, and fifty deputy sheriffs from Sterling arrived nt 9:17 o’clock. All was quiet when the company arrived. At 10:10 o'clock Mr. Northcott boarded a north-bound train for Savanna, after being detained, for four hours. The militia, under Mr. Northcott’s orders, were sent to the head clerk’s office to guard it and assist with the remainder of the removal. History of the Trouble. The controversy of the Modern Wood­ men is an old one. In 1883 the several camps then in convention at Fulton, Illorganized what was termed the Head Camp. A charter was secured and the perpetnal office of the Head Camp wns located by the charter granted by the Sec­ retary of the Bute of Illinois at Fulton. There was a board of eleven director# or executive committee, charged with the administration of tbe order. The order prospered and the Head Camp at Fulton became a matter of local importance. All of the money received for death .benefits was sent to the town. The jraatnflce in­ creased in business and classification. The local banks reaped tho benefit of the de­ posit of the money and a large number of people were given employment. In 1890 the organisation hnd n number of State camps aud an element in the or­ der began to chafe over the Head Camp. It was claimed that the State organiza­ tions forming a national organization had an undoubted right to administer the busi­ ness of the order, and the result of a con­ vention at Springfield "Fas the prevalence of the opinion that the camp headquarters should be removed to Rock Island. The old board of trustees, by amendment, wns cut down to five and the outsiders, as the people- of Fulton term,the members at large, secured control of the order. . Repeated efforts to remove the head­ quarters to Rock Island were foiled by the rival organization nt Fulton, which asserted that the old board was still in power by virtue of the charter, and tho building erected at Rock Island has never yet been occupied. The people of Rock Island began to take an interest in the controversy. They ■wanted tbe headquarters, and after legal obstructions were placed in their way they resorted to force. One night rnree months n-go a train load of Rock Island people made on attack on Fulton. Tbe sally was repulsed, a number of people being in­ jured fa the riot thnt followed the attempt to capture tbe headquarters. Since then tbe bone was from the skull of a human ; being.

The Northern Pacific passenger from the east was held up and robbed at 2 o’clock Sunday morning about three miles east of Moorhead, Minn. The engine and mail car came in alsne and the engineer reported that he had been compelled to leave tbe rest of the train. The robbery was the coolest piece of criminal work in the history of the val­ ley. Engineer Hooker, just after pulling out of Glyndoa, noticed a masked man on the front platform of the mail car. A few moments later the man diml^d over the tender of the engine under cover of two revolvers. He compelled the engineer to stop the train, threatening to shoot if he refused. Several minutes afterward three other masked men came to the front end of the train with Conductor Corcoran nnd a brakeman. All were compelled to mount the engine and Engineer Hooker was or­ dered to open the throttle. ■The mon with revolvers sat on the end of the tender nnd with the weapons lev­ eled urged the engineer to increase the speed. Not until tbe train reached Moor­ head wns it known to the crew thnt the engine and mail car had been cut off from the other section of the train. The hold­ up was not profitable to the robbers. They hnd evidently intended to take the ex­ press car, but did not cut deep enough fa the train. When a stop was made to secure the plunder the leader of the gang discovered the mistake, and finding that they had left the express car behind, the robbers ordered the mail men out of thl car and went through the mail.

The police inspector of vessels, under orders from the chief of police of Havana, board­ ed the boat, and, It was claimed, placed the insurgent captain under arrest. Acos­ ta, it was said, entered Havana fa dis­ guise last week, suffering from a serious illness. The Cuban captain nnd his wife were evidently trying to reach the Mexi­ can shore. The story is denied. Forty insurgents entered Luynno, two; miles from Havana, captured a number of cattle and sacked several stores. Juanc Delgado has attacked San Antonio Banos, fa Havana province, and captured arms, oxen, etc. No resistance was made by the Spaniards.

Tbe disease Is said to be prevalent io New York, Boston, Philadelphia aud other eastern cities, and it is believed that in tbe courscof events it will come this way. Climat­ ic conditions are accountable in a great measure for the spread of the disease. Cold snaps, rains and hut weather have been so promiscously In­ termingled in some sections nf the country of late that the germ which causes tbe disease has grown fat and boisterous. Apparently the same kind of weather prevails In Europe, for the press dispatches say that Lon­ don physicians have warned the pub­ lic that an epidemic of la grippe may be expected. Tbe case of the people vs. George and Chas. Hartford and Boll Hum­ mel tried in Justice Felghner's court Tuesday, resulted In their acquittal. It seems that on the 27th day uf last month the boys were hunting and during their tour traversed a field on A. J. Reynolds’ farm at Gregg’s cros­ sing. Mr. Reynolds immediately had a warrant issued for their arrest and in consequence of which tbe trial came off as before stated, before a jury composed of Stephen SpringeLt, M. H. Bloom, John McIntosh, Byron Barnum, George Conklin and Frank Wolcott. Prosecuting attorney Sulli­ van represented the people and E. D. Mallory the defendants. They were arrested on the charge of hunting for game with firearms and dogs on en­ closed lands, premises of another, without permission of the owner or lessee, aud after the evidence was all in, the Jury decided that the field was not an enclosed one and hehce the ac­ quittal. at tbe Barry County fair Wednesday and yes­ terday.—Naahvllle News, October I.

The number of acres of growing wheat in tbe state last May as shown by the supervisors’ returns was 1,513,­ 919: the average yield per acre as shown by threshing Is 16.46 bushels, and the total yield in the state 24,­ 925,007 bushels. Tbe total yield is found by-multiplying tbe number of acres in each county by the average per acre in tbe same county and foot­ ing the products. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed by farmers since the September report was pub­ lished Is 2,447,282, and in the two months, August-September, 3,635,032. This Is 1.453,775 bushels more than reported marketed in the same months last year. Oats are estimated to yield 25.79 bushels to the acre, barley 21.18, and corn 64 bushels of ears. This estimate for corn is about three bushels less than the average yield of 1896. The yield of oats from threshers’ records. Considerable corn fodder has been 'in­ injured bv frost. • Potatoes are estimated to yield in the slate 61 per cent of an average crop. The estimate for tbe southern counties is 55 per dent. Beans are estimated to yield 86 per cent of an average crop. Tbe per centage of winter apples are: Southern counties, 11, central 28, northern 32 and state 18. These figures Indicate no more than ^hattbe crop Is a failure. It is probable that the ground was never so dry In Michigan At the usual time of wheat sowing as this year. Tbe average rainfall in the state in August was 2.04 inches, and in Sep­ tember about 1.30 inches. While these figures show a deficiency each month as compared with the normal, they do not convey any idea of tbe severity of tbe drought. The rainfall during tbe latter part of August and of September was mostly in the north­ ern counties and upper peninsula. Since about thu middle of August the average rainfall in the southern and central counties, where nlnty-six per cent of the wheat crop Is grown, has not been sufficient to be of appreciable benefit. The ground is throughly dried out. Wheat sowed early has come up, but unevenly. That sowed later was "dusted in," and much of It will hardly grow, at least not until rain comes. Many farmers bad not yet sowed on the first of October. Mrs. Chas. Raymond Is visiting Jriends at Paw Paw and .Buchanan. Al. VanNocker’s house Is nearly completed and ready for occupancy.

(ceded to winter wheat The drouth has already accomplished that much. What more it may do la for the future to tell. The present rains, so far as practical results are concerned, mean nothing. If-they are followed, at the proper time and In proper quantities by others, the beat use can be made of tbe opponunlty lemsinlng.'bnt It is Impossible that an average amount of winter wheat shall be put in the ground. By ftasoo of the damage admittedly accom. pliahed the friends of wheat arc not anxious to sell their holdings. Every week makes It mote apparent that there will be periodic buying all winter by Europe, which gets from time to time only enough tor the actual wants of a month or so, and there are many weather chances on the bull aide of wheat lu this country between now and spring. Corn Is also well thought of. Its poslUou" has been bettered br the fact that there is not as much long speculation In it as there was a short time ago. Schwartz, Dapee & Ca, who have secured extra good advices on the corn crop, say that tbe damage by drouth has never been oyer estimated, and as they figure a con­ siderable decrease from the government esti­ mate of yield, It seams that present prices will not seem high when all the.facts concerning.' the crop are in. There has-been practically ho market in pro­ vision for a week. The yellow fever, of course killed the southern trade, but In addition to this, stocks are large, and with no particular speculative Interest In the market, of course this creates stagnation.

Th© English radical says: “Every year the number of visitors to Monte Carlo increases and every year more desperate efffirta ore made by its rivals along the Riviera to prejudice the place with the British public. That Monte Carlo is a paradise In a moral sense I am not going to suggest Every man of the world knows that like other places entirely devoted to luxury and pleasure, society there is not exactly an assembly of saints. But that Monte Carlo is any worse than other pleasure resorts of a similar character I em­ phatically deny. As to the results of th© gambling everyone who has been behind th© scenes knows that infinitely more mischief is done in the gambling hells of Nice every season than at the tables of Monte Carlo, and I doubt whether even Nice, which is in many respects a sink of iniquity, is any worse than Ostend has been during the last few seasons.” Ninety-seven out of every hundred persons use Brant’s Cough Balsam.

'I wish you would take thia package to tbe village for me Jim’,be said hes­ itatingly.

It was two miles Into town, I wanted to get my supper and dress tor the singing class. My tint impulse was to refuse and do It harshly, for 1 was vexed that he should ask me after my long days work. If I did refuse be would go himself; he was a gen­ tle, patient old man. But something stopped me. one of God's good angles, I think. “Of course, father. I'll take it" I aald baatiy, giving my scythe to one of the men. He gave me the package. "Thank you, Im”, he said "I was going myself, but some­ how I .don’t feel very strong today”. He walked with me to tbe road that turned of! to the town, and as be loft he put his hand on my arm, saying again, "Thank you my son. You have always been a good boy to me, Jim," I hurried Into town and back again. When I came near the house I saw a crowd of farm­ hands at tbe door. _ One of them came up to me, the tears rolling down bis face. "Your father," he said, “fell ead Just as he reached tbe bouse.

EVIL Demanding Attention of Brain Workers—A Worthy Ally is Found in Dr.WHEELER’S NERVE VITALIZER Many of the most learned, skillful and brightest men and women of our day tire cut short in their usefulness by exhausted nerv­ ous energy. That is to say, in their close ap­ plication an unusual amount of nervous energy is spent without the corresponding accumulation to take its place. This is to be regretted, as the world cannot afford to lose their usefulness. Recent developments from Dr. Wheeler’s life study pn the subject of the nerves has produced a remedy for this evil; and those fortunate enough to avail themaelve of Dr. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer have had a renewal of nervous energy, and health restored. A notable instance is that of Manly W. Burtch. superintendent of Welch Folding Bed Co., Grand Rapids^Jdich. A man of unusual mental ability, who, unfortu­ nately, broke down with nervous trouble. The use of Dr. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizer soon accumulated nervous energy, as stated in his letter below: ••I take great pleasure in testifying to the value of Dr. Wheeler’s Nerve Vitalizer, which I have personally tested, so that 1 know whereof I speak. My work, during the busy season, is very trying on the nerves; but after taking your Nerve Vitalize: a few times, I felt a* if I couM, if necessary, do two days' work in one.

FROM PETTY HORRIBLE THIEVERY MURDERS TO The Infamous Htafflcback Family Kan theGnmut Two of Thein Arc Under n Life Sentence, While the Mother Is Given Twenty Years. Moral Monsters. There may have been more wicked families iu Sodom aud Gomorrah of old than the Statileback family of Galena. Kan., three of whose members have recntly been found guilty of murder; but It may tie doubted if a more loath­ some set of people ever before existed on this continent, either in a state of civilization or savagery, than the moral monsters, the Stafflebacks. who have trafficked In every crime and vice from thievery to butchery, nnd two of whom, at least, will spend the remain­ der of their lives in prison. George and Ed Statileback have been found guilty of murder in the first degree and sen­ tenced to the penitentiary for life, while the mother, hoary In crime as In years—she Is now (IS—hns been found guiltj* of murder in the second degree and will no doubt end her years In pris­ on. having received a twenty-five-year sentence. Nancy Statileback has let] a most re­ markable career of crime and has trained her progeny to follow In her footsteps. Of.ber thirteen children nnt one lias led an upright life, and not one has a trait of character to redeem, even iu part, the general <-oan*envss and criminality of their natures. She was born in Allegan County, New York. Her maiden name was Chase and her early years were spent In Wis­ consin. Through her mother she Inher­ ited a strain of Wyandotte Indian blood, nnd perhaps this may have had something to do with the natural vic lousness of her character. When a young girl site met a Swiss. Michael Statileback, in Dubuque. Iowa. After some changes they moved to Lawrence County, Missouri, where they settled on a farm. Here they quarreled. The husband was charged by his wife and some of his children with unimtnlonable crimes, ami the husband accused the wife of crimes equally revolting to both moral and natural laws. The re­ sult was that the husband left the neighliorhood and has not since been beard ftwln. The airing of their fam­ ily differences tn court had the effect of making Lawrence County too hot for Nancy and her brood, and they moved to a place known ns Sivindle Hill, In the town of Joplin. Jasper County. It was d tit abode for such characters. Here congregated the degraded of both sexes, women who had forgotten the meaning of decency and men who wore practiced in every crime. A man’s life—was not safe in the place after dark and polieidneii never ventured into It singly. Here the Stnfflebaeks lived several years, the sons practicing thievery aud other crimes, for which some of them received sentences In jail, and the girls consorting with the de­ graded of both sexes. They eommlttcd one murder, at least, here, but the story of this will come later. Ultimately the vile den or the Stafllebneks wns raided aud two of the sons were scut to the penitentiary. In a Hotbed of Crime. Three years ago the family moved to ‘Ticker's Point." an unsavory plncewou the outskirts of Galena. They took up their abode In a long-deserted shanty, within a few rods of which were a number of deserted shafts, where some time or other mon had prosjtocted fur lead or Zine. The place Is a hotbed of crime. Scattered around are miserable hovels, the homes of depraved women nnd men. Here vice reaches a depth that decency dare not attempt to de­ scribe. Rough miners, many of them foreigners, frequent the hovels nnd gamble and drink nnd swear. Ribald revelry is often Interrupted by a light that ends In murder. Then the shafts, the silent, yawning- pits of the ground, are charged with another victim, which they receive Into their dark depths Dev•er to yield again. If these shafts were to-day made to give up their ghastly tenants fully fifty undiscovered mur­ ders would be revealed. Amid such congenial surroundings the Statileback family resumed their career of crime. At this time the fam­ ily consisted of Mother Nance. Ed. George. Mike. Cora, Louisa and Emma. All these were children of the old wom­ an except Cora, who was married to George. The latter nnd Ed bad a short time before been released from tbe peniten­ tiary and bad joined tbe family at "Picker’s Point." And now another man, Charles Wil­ son. who passed as a husband of Nancy, drifted Into the gang. Two girls, Rosa Bayne and Anna McComb, also took up. their abode with the Stafflo- PRESIDENT OF THEOSOPHISTS. back family.

One of It* Member* Disclose* tbe Policy of the Liberal* Spain's New Premier Credited with ■ Threat* Should Uncle Bam Make Demand*. Bold Talk I* Indulged. The now Mimnish ministry is constitut­ ed as follows: Senor Sagasta, Presldetit of the Coun­ cil of Minister*. Senor Gullon, Minister of Foreign Af­ fair*. . Senor Groizard. Minister of Justice Geqenil Correa, Minister of War. Admiral Bermejo, Minister of Marine. Senor Puigcerrer, Minister of Finance. Senor Capdepbn, Minister of the in­ terior. Count Xlguena, Minister of Public Works. ' Senor Moret. Minister for the Colonies. _ The ministers after nn informal mwting' proceeded to the palace nud took tbe oath of office. In Madrid the cabinet is regarded as fairly strong, althongh some disappoint­ ment is felt that Senor Gamnzo, Senor Maura, Senor Armijo and other* who had been looged uix>n a* probable mem­ bers are not included. It is understood that Senor Maura, who was tbe author of the first Cuban home rule bill, felt that he could not act satisfactorily with Senor Moret, while Senor Gamnzo, who. is a relative of Senor Maura, feared that his presence might imply a leaning toward the Maura scheme of reforms. Consequently Senor Sngasta wns compelled to take les* prominent men. At aSmbinct council it was decided to appoint Senor Amos Salvador, minister of finance in the Sagasta cabinet of 1895, director of the Bank of Spain. Count Rotnannne* hns been appointed Mayor of Madrid and Senor Aguilera prefect of po­ lice of that city. Bold Talk by a New Minister. A special dispatch front Madrid publish­ ed in London gives the substance of an interview between n newspaper corre­ spondent and an unnamed member of the new Spanish cabinet. The latter is quot­ ed as sa/ing that Senor Sagasta will car­ ry out the Cuban reforms proposed by Marshal Martinez Campos ten years ago. Those include the granting of autonomy^ to Cuba on condition that she shall take over the Cuban debt, including the war debt, and accept Spain's customs tariff. Continuing, the new cabinet minister is said to have declared that Premier Sa­ gasta would not consent to a customs union between the United States and Cuba, and that it the former were not satisfied Spain was prepared to fight, ns the- Spanish navy was regarded equal in strength to the navy of the United States. Further, if necessary, Spain, according to the cabinet minister, would hare recourse to privateering. In conclusion the new minister is al­ leged to have said it was impossible that Spain would consent to recognize the in­ surgent debt, but Premier Sagasttt would not prevent the new Cuban Government dealing with it.

Adam Hoffman, n wealthy bachelor fanner, living near Brimfield, Ind., was murdered by two men. whose intention it was to rob him. Hoffman sold a large amount of wheat and stock tbe past week and it is awerted that the mon, thinking he had the money nt his home, committed the crime while seeking the money. At midnight n farm hand living with Hoffman was awakened by a noise in an adjoining room, which sounded like the tramping of men. Tb<* lx»y quickly crawl­ ed under the bed and shortly after the mon entered. n lighted match was thrust under the bed and the boy was discov­ ered. He was ordered from his hiding place at the point of a revolver and plac­ ed on the bed, bound band and foot and securely gngged. He was warned that if he attempted to give on alarm be would be killed. The men next went to the old man’s atom. Hoffman was ordered to pass over his money. He denied that be had any money in the bouse, saying that he never kept money there. The men began to threaten aiwl choke him to force him to disclose to them his hiding place. His hands were firmly bound together and tied to his legs; Ids feet were likewise bound and then fastened to the bed. It is thought the men continued the choking until life was extinct. Tbe men then searched the house from cellar to roof, but failed to find any money. News of Minor Note. Daniel 8. Lamont has been elected pres­ ident of the Northern Pacific Express Company. Rev.

The damage to the structure was noth­ ing at till to the Stage, comparatively Kt­ . tic to the gallery, which suffered most, al­ most nothing to the dress circle and much less than one would think from the debris scatt?*red through the parquet where the main tpiss landed. The truss rested in the parquet very much in the shape of a capita! lcttex‘^,”x Tbe wonder is that so few were hurt and of tbe-few hurt so many escaped with slight injuries. FUMIGATING THE MAIL.

The frret nijpne of pn.ni'w in many weeks appeared to the farmer* Sunday throughout the Western States. A geaera! opening of the ckirftis mui*teced the parched earth just enough to awaken the belief that Providence still reigns, and that the end of the almost unpreerdeuted drought is at band. In nine of the dozen or more States aflictod by tiw blighting dryness shower* fell with a gentle force sufficient to soften the hard crust that has been; baking for weeks on the fields and prairies. A hymn of thanksgiving mingled with the falling of the rain in hundreds of tocalitie*. ConntleM numbers of farmers bailed the shower* that visited their acres M their MtvaUou from heavy misfortune. For days and days they have been wait­ ing for a favorable time to pnt in their winter wheat. Snch ground as would permit plowing at all was so dry that clouds of dust followed the plows acrosa the fields. The fields that had been plant­ ed early in the beginning of the drought with winter wheat promised nothing for lack of water on the tender sprouts. It is now believed that much of the ground can be put in cultivation in time, taking it for granted that the drought 1* broken. Reports received from the Government signal service show that rain has fallen very generally in Colorado; Nebraska, Kaunas, Missouri. Iowa, Minnesota, Wbcousin, Upper Michigan and Illinois. The visitation in Nebraska is the first rain of any consequence that has fallen for six weeks. Suffering Kansas got her first wetting in two months Sunday after­ noon. Iowa received her share of rain at the same time. In its effect upon the future crops the damage wrought by the drought cannot be estimated for many dap, in the opinion of experienced observers. On regular culti­ vated soil, grain men declare, tbe con­ tracted wheat area -jMfrely meow a larger corn acreage next year, but this does not apply to the vast acres of prairie ground that have never been touched by a plow. Much of tliis virgin prairie rod was to hare been turned over thia fall in Ne­ braska and Kansas, but the drought has made it neccsaary for this work to l>e left over. To make such land available for next year’s use it must be plowed in the fall nnd’left to the elements until the next* spring. It is too late now for such work to be carried out to completion. One consolation has been found in the drought by the stock growers, while the farmer has found nothing to compensate him for the ton* of his winter wheat pros­ pect Tbe cattlemen declare the pros­ pects for abundant and fine grazing on the ranges have not been so good in years. The gruss has.been extremely well cured by the protracted dry weather, and thia fact is encouraging to tbe num who count their wealth by the head. Their only anx­ iety has been to supply their cnttle with water sufficient to keep them olive. Now that the rain has begun falling their cup of joy is full, as they sec the ponds and creeks and wells once more available. A KLONDIKE GRUB STAKE. BIG MONEY IN BASE-BALL.

The men who own a million dol­ lars’ worth of property number less than half a score in the whole state, Kays Atlantic. Those who number half a million dollar^’ worth of property might ride together in a sleeping car, with an upper berth or two to spare. Every town has its rich man, measured by a local standard, who is frequently a retired farmer turned bunker, but rot one in five of these is rated at $100,­ 000. Yet each is the autocrat of his county, if he cares to be. The main­ spring that moves the town's daily ma­ chinery may bo found in the backroom of the bank. There it is decided wheth­ er or not the bonds shall be voted. There it is often determined whether there shall be eight or nine months of school. There the village chronicles are spread upon the great ledgers every day. The town banker supplies fhe money for every contest. If he is wise, he watches his little corner of the world as a spider watches from his web. The great trust which he keeps requires a knowledge of the details of the game that men are playing around him. Yet with.Jill his power, this town banker would-be counted a poor man in the city. Seldomis his annual income as much as $10,000. But he lives in the best house in the town. The butcher saves his best cuts for him, the grocer puts aside his best vegetables, and the whole town waits to do his bidding. do the rest. -It M.eA a, wU.’.

When you want a cough cure ask to tee Brant’s Balsam. Your judgement will Very few of the millions of people who carry watches realize to what a powerful extent lubrication is de­ veloped, and what an extraordinary number of turns the balance wheel makes with one oiling, says the Phila­ delphia liecord. A Chestnut street watchmaker, whose knowledge of these wonderful pieces of mechanism is not exceeded by any man in this city, has, made up an interesting table of com­ parison to show the perfection of lubri­ cation in a watch. A watch will run on one oiling from a year to a year and a half. Every min­ ute the balance wheel turns on its axis 450 times, and 27,000 times in an hour. Accepting the year as the time the ordinary watch will run with on© oiling, he finds that if the driver of a locotaiotive was as well oiled as a bal­ ance wheel of a watch, it ought to run 60 miles an hour day and night for 648 days, or well on to two years, with one oiling. In that time it would traverse a distance equal to nearly four times the circumference of the earth. In view of the fact that in reality few locomotives will run one day with­ out reoiling, he maintains that the watchmaker has developed his art to a far greater degree than the locomotive builder hos yet been able to reach.

In the latter case remedies are applied to the symp­ tom instead of the cause. For sleeplessness and headache opiates are taken; for languor, exhausted or tired conditions tonics are used. Such treatment still further debilitate* and should be avoided as pernicious. Dr. Wheeler's Nerve, Vitalizer removes the symptoms by curing the' cause and restoring the nerves to healthy condition. As evi­ dence of th* fact, we submit the following testimony from D. Croop, a reliable and suc­ cessful merchant of Dcford, Mich-: Like many others, I overworked. Busi­ ness cares became exhausting and harassing. I lost flesh and strength, became nervous and threatened with a fever. I made an unusual mental effort to fight it ofL or at least delay the collapse, but without effect. I came down with nervous prostration. My case be­ ing similar to many of my customers who have been cured by Dr. Wheeler’s Nerve Vitalizer, I concluded to use it; I soon felt better; two bottles cured me.

Hark! carriage wheels, decidedly car­ riage wheels, nml the rhythmical trot of u pair of horses. Stella ran Info the front mom and looked out. The blaze of car­ riage lamps seemed to illuminate all the street. It Unshed in upon her as she stood at the window. The carriage Was her ladyship’s own chariot, the horse*- were her own partic­ ular seventeen-hnwlerw. grand, upstand­ ing bays, which in that shabby little street looked almost a* large as a jmir of elephnnt*. ’ . Had this state vehicle been sent in mockery? Stelln wondered, scared nt the spectacle. Wns it a piec«* of practical irony on the part of Lady Lashmar? A foot inn n ropened the ’door nnd the dowager heraelf alighted, moving slowly, and feebly, leaning on the tall footman's arm a little as she descended to earth, but tnll, stately nnd imperial looking in her large circular cloak of black velvet and darkest sable. "Stella. I have come to fetch you," said her ladyship in nit earnest manner. "You were very foolish and very impetuous in running itwny because of a few unkind words from an impulsive young man. Put on your bonnet while I thank these kind people for having taken care of you." "Oh. Lady lashmar, I only wanted to be allowed to lov^ you," faltered the girl, ber cheek ngninst the dowager’s shoul­ der, her waist encircled by the dowager’s arm. "The permission is tgeely given, child. I^>ve me jour hardest, love me with all your might. I may not be spared many years to enjoy your love—to see you nnd Victorian happy together—to live ip a new atmosphere. It will be the Indian sum­ mer of my life." Mrs. Mnleiber was in the hall when the dowager and StoUh alighted from* the car­ riage. Domestic convulsion* were her natural element. She caunton board the family ship nt such times like a pilot, nnd thought no bark could get safely to har­ bor without her assistance. She took Stella in her arms nnd cooed over her with a sound n* of an elderly wood pigeon. “My -sweet girl, did I not tell you it would be *0?” she munnureil. ' “Oh, Mrs. Mulciiter, you told me some­ thing quite different." “Did 1, dear? Alxiut Mr. Ncstoriux? Oh, to be sure I did. But I wss right, yo.u see. I knew you were destined to make a.great marriage. And now run and dress for dinner." “I have dined with my friends In Brumm,” answered Stella. ”1 shall have some ten in my own room, thanks." Mr. Nestorius hnd heard from I.a*hmnr how the fugitive hnd been found—among the dead; and how in that place of death the bond of union had been scaled be­ tween the living. He nnd Lashmar had talked gravely together for a little while, and then Nestorius bad bid him a kind and quiet farewell nnd had driven to the railwny station on bis way to London. “Will you not stay? Would you not like to sec her?’xpU*Mtr<FlZashinnr. “No, my denr friend, the wound is too new. I love her too well to be able quite honestly and frankly to rejoice in her happiness jet awhile.

She had some tea in Barber's sitting room and wns wept over by the warm-hearted Bartier and slipped back into her old life aa naturally as if she had onlj’ left the castle for n few days’ holiday. “Will you come down to the drawing room with me and be made known to my son’s friend*?” asked her ladyship. “Not for the world, dear Lady Lashmar," she pleaded; “let me lie just what I have been, your reader and amanuensis. Only love me a little, if you can. It is so sweet to be loved." Her eyes filled with tears as she spoke, and for the second time Victorian’s moth-, er took the orphan to her bosom and kiss­ ed her. “1 cannot help loving you," she anld.

Stella explained to him that she could hot possibly leave Brumm thus abruptly.

But it.shall be to-day, not to­ morrow.' They went ant of the cemetery togeth­ er nnd through the street* of Brumm, talking to each other as if they hnd been lovers of a .year’s standing. The love pent up in either breast, the passion long held in check, drew them together iu a moment. They met :i* rivers mej’t nnd mingled ns river* mingle. Tbe shock of the meeting wns tremendous, hut the union was instantaneous nnd complete. Mr. Chapman's shop was not very fnr from Goldwin's nor a long way* from, the cemetery. Stella explained that since she had dwelt In Brumm she hnd gone daily and sometimes twice a day to ber fathers grave. “It wns the only thing I .could do to be Dear him.” she said. "Ah. it was my cruelty which told you of hi* death.” "It was better for me to know the truth,” she answered gently. “All my dream* about him were childish dreams. I ought to have known that if he were living he would have come for me or sent for me. He would not have lived away from me nil those year* nnd made no sign. ’ Ami I honor him more nnd more—love him more I cannot—for lhe sacrifice of his life. What am I worth that two such .noble lives should be risked forme?” "You are worth nil the world to me. Stella,” answered her lover fondly, “nnd Nestorius tells me that you are going to be the roost charming story teller—if 1 were an American I should say romaneist—of The’ age,- nnd to delight all the world.” “Mr. Nestorius is too kind.” "And-he naked you to be his wife—he, the man whom women have adored—and you refused him. Why did you reject such a man. Stella?" She wns silent. the pale checks kindling with n sudden blush, the eyelids drooping. “Why, Stella, why?” he urged. “Because I could care for no one in the world but you,” she answered falterIngly. “You seemed so far off and so cruel.” "But who loved you passionately all the time, Sjella; loved yon nnd fought ngninst his inclination: tried to be wiser than Fate. If you knew how laboriously 1. endenvoivd to fall in love with Lady Car­ minow you would understand how potent was that other influence which drew my thoughts away from her." They v.ere nt Mr. Chapman’s corner by this time—n corner shop .In n street of small, shabby little houses, out of which opened right nnd left other street* of ju*t tho same pattern. "There is no private door," said Stella; “would you mind going through the shop?" "I should adore it. I hare never seen a shop of tbe kind,' laughed Lashmar. He hnd to bend his head a little under the treasures hanging from tbe celling— bacon, candles, onions, lemons in nets. "What a dear little shop!” he exclaim­ ed, “and so well found. It is like the steward's cabin on my Norwegian yacht.” Stella led him into the parlor, that sa­ cred chamber *0 rarely tenanted in tbe daytime. The Chapman family were tak­ ing 4 o'clock tea in the kitchen. Stella went in to them and told them Lortf Lashmar bad come to thank them for their kindness to her and how ber ladyship wished her to go back to the castle. “I think I shall have to leave you this evening, or to-morrow at least," she said shyly; "but I shall never forget your kind­ ness or cease to think of you as my friends.

"r.~ CONVICT* PUT OUT “QUEER.” A feted from Ontslde - Perfect Speci­ mens of the Coiner’s Art. Warden E. S. Wright of the Riverside penitentiary ut Pittsburg has discovered that a number of the convict# confined in the institution have l»ccn manufacturing counterfeit 50-cenl pieces. He has un­ earthed the metal from which the “queer” money was made, the molds In which it was cast and tbc names of several con­ victs who were connected with the mat­ ter, but as yet he has been unable to find the man who originated and carried out the scheme. The counterfeits are mag­ nificent specimens of the coiner’s art. The die from which they were made is almost perfect, and the milling of the colas, which is the Government's chief protec­ tion of. metal. money from those who would imitate it, is as near perfect ns It Is possible for human ingenuity to make it. The counterfeiters had already secured a connection with outside parties and some of the bad money is now in circulation. Warden Wright has a list of nearly a score of convicts and other persons sup­ posed to be connected with the counter­ feiting, and when the full storyof the .crim^ pie* out It is said there will be some sensational developments. s UM.

Beneath the jacket wns a cerise blue blouse, and the space between the fronts was filled with a long chiffon tie, a large bow framing the chin daintily. The left hand dress in. the next sketch was stone-gray broadcloth of a quality whose fineness had never been’reacbed until this season, but when It came to ranking there was trimming even for the rklrt. There were two panels of bright green velvet, and these were emphasized by a delicate embroidery In gilt. On the bodice were yoke, sleeve caps, belt and slashes at the darts, all showing the bright velvet, and here again was the tracery of gilt. This gown’s most singular feature, one that would be apparent only in front view, was that the skirt panels were of une­ qual lengths The other velvet trimmed rig of this quartet was at the opposite side of the picture.-. The skirt's one panel was outlined with several- rows of stitching.

The blouse can be worn jacket fashion, half open, with any other cloth dress. In the original design, the one the arist sketched, several long ribbon­ shaped slashes from the bust line down to the edge of the blouse disclosed the silk lining, and similar silts were made In the skirt. These were left out of the making-over project because the blouse so brightened would not have looked as well for general service as a jacket. The last of these dresses, a bouse gown of blue cashmere, shows a com­ mendable Improvement upon the bolero that Is generally adopted this season, which is proved by the fact that 1x>lero fronts are more usual now than entire boleros. This Is because of the cut-off line at the back, which is not becoming A Frightful Death.

It was in the year 1S33, according to Bn English exchange, that the head splitting shriek of the locomotive was faiorn. When the country roads for the most part crossed at grade the engine driver had no way of giving warning of hls approach except by blowing a tin horn. One day in the year 1833 a farm­ er was crossing t^-e railway track on one of the country roads with a great load of eggs andbutter when a train apEreached. The engine driver blew hls orn lustily, but the farmer did not Lear iL Eighty dozen eggs and 50 pounds of butter were reduced to one common pulp, and the railway com­ pany had to pay what was then con­ sidered'heavy damages. A director of the company, Ashmead Baxter by name, went to Alton Grange, where George Stephenson lived, to ask if he could not invent something that would give a warning more likely to be heard. Stephenson went to work, and the next day had a contrivance (which, when attached, to the engine Loiler and the steam turned on, gave but a shrill, discordant sound. The rail­ way directors, greatly delighted, orreded similar contrivances to be at­ tached to all their locomotives. And this developed into tfie locomotive whis­ tle as we know It. WHERE WIVES ARE SCARCE. The spinster who wants a husband need only emigrate, for if all accounts are true the different European colo­ nies in Africa and Asia, as well us dis­ joint regions in Canada, Australia and Cope Colony, there are not enough wom­ en to supply the demand for wives. But when the societies that promote the emigration of women to the col­ onies send out a party, the last thing In their minds, apparently, is the bet­ ter chance these women will have to get {husbands. They simply send women tvho lack work to colonies that lack Bvomcn. Their character and fitness for emiprntion must be approved, and then |they are sent on the long journey in the charge of matrons, who see to their comfort and are responsible for their Kafety until situations that will yield (them a living are found for them. The United British Women’s Emigra­ tion association, the largest of all these societies, would refuse to assist any woman to emigrate if she should openly avow that she was seeking a husband rather than opportunities for work. _For all her incomparable dignity-of deportment, there is something homely Spd gentle albout the qnecn of England. «I;don’t know how it is,” remarked one bf'her great officers nut long ago, *Tm Buch a shy man, and really to chatwith poTne princess embarrasses me.

HOLD A NET FOR A BEAR. The following is vouched for by a re­ liable citizen of the locality where the event occurred, near Disco, 12 miles from Black River Falls,’ Wis., says the Chicago Chronicle. The farmers had been annoyed by wolves and one of them found a den that he thought would hold a docen or more. Four of .them went -there with a large fish net, a long tin tube and a double-barreled gun. They had heard’of scaring ani­ mals from their den by putting a tube in the hole and then ahouting through the tube. Two of them held the net over the mouth of the den nnd another stood ready with the gun. while the fourth one managed the tube,' He gave a fearful screech into a funnel fixed in the-end of the tube and after an effort or two there was a rush and; growl and out came a black bear as though pos­ sessed of nine demons. He plunged into the net and the two men and the bear had a merry time. Thcananwith thegun didn’tdare shoot, for he could not tell where there was the most bear and the least of the men. The net broke and let his bearship through and he made for tall timber at a marvelous rate, but the net men looked very discouraged and it will be a cold day when they try It. over again. The informant was very reticent about‘telling who the men were, but as he hnd a double limip, his face scratched nnd was in the city, for a new suit of everyday clothes it looked as though he knew who helped hold the net. Several authors of the sixteenth cen­ tury mentioned the existence of a man tvho, having lost his, eyesight, could see through his noee. The story, muclj ' doubted at the time and pronounced : fabulous by physicians, is nevertheless true if the researches of E. Douliot prove correct, sgys the Philadelphia Record. It seems that the victim had lost his right eye early in life and later on while climbing a cherry tree fell upon a fence, the pickets horribly mu­ tilating the left eye, the cheek and the । nose. The surgeon called in considered the eye entirely destroyed, sewed up the wound and it healed in time, form­ ing a large scar where the eye had been. A year later the man, then considered stone blind, lay in the grass when he surprised himself by discovering that he could perceive through the cavity of the nose the sky and the color of the flowers on the meadow around him. From that time on he practiced for five or six years to see with his nose, which to him became practically the B.rgan of vision.

A case in point is that of Eagcpe Farmer, manager of the East Saginaw Busi-, nets Men's Club. In addition to sleepleMness, he hod very direct symptoms of heart disease, which, together with symptoms of paralysis, no doubt caused him many anxious thoughts, especially as the doctors with whom he counseled and the various medi­ cines he used had no effect.

The result of it* use can best be told in hts own words, as follows: “Through the kindness of Mr. Frantz, of Braskc’s drug store, I commenced using Dr. Wheeler's Nerve Vitalizcr for a net rous diffi­ culty, which the doctors were unable to cure or even understand.

The gates arc thrown wide open, and the carriage rolls smoothly down the long ■dark avenue, beneath the waving branch«• of the tali elms nnd the copper beeches, through which the dying sun is flinging its parting rays. The horses, sniffing the air -of home, fling up their heads nnd make •till greater haste, until presently, round­ ing the curve, they draw up before the* lull door. It. stands open, nnd on the high stone •teps that lead to it a very pretty girl looks down upon the carriage from under her palm, with a face eager and expect­ ant. When she has barely glanced at it •he says "Ah?’ in a tone of deep satisfac­ tion, and, running down the steps and ■over the gravel, turns the handle of the ■carriage door and looks anxiously at Its .■occupant. “You have come," she says, cheerily. “I ■was afraid something might have prevent­ ed you." The person she addresses—a girl about two years older than herself—says: “Yes, I have come,” in a tone slow and •weet, almost to languor. “So glad," says the pretty girl, with a •mile that must be one of her sweetest charms, it is so full of life and gayety; ■“come out of this dreadful old sarcopha­ gus and upstair* with me; I have your tea in your own room for you.” Miss Vibart, stepping out of the braughnm, follows her hostess into the house, through the grand old hall, and up the wide oak staircase, into a room huge and old-fashioned—but delicious and cozy, and comfortable to the last degree. “You are Dulcinea?" she says, ques­ tion ingly. “Ye*. I am Dulcinea as a rule, but 1 have so many other names, that it takes me all my time to remember which one I really belong to. Unde'Christopher calls we Baby! nnd Mark Gore, when he is here, calls rne Duchess, and Dicky Browne calls me Tom, nnd Roger calls me —I really quite forgot what it is Roger calls hie, with a slight shrug of her shoul­ ders. “Is Dicky Browne your fiance?" asks Miss’Vibart, uncertainly. “1 know you are engaged to somebody; Auntie Maud told me that.** "Dicky Browne! Oh, no!" Then with the gayest little laugh in the world, "If jou could only see Dicky Browne! He couldn't, by any possibility, be anybody's fiancee! You mean Roger, I suppose.” But with a quick frown and a touch of petulance. "Don’t let us talk about him. He is such a worry, nnd has been making himself so exceedingly unpleasant all the morning!" Miss Vibart stares, forgetting her usual­ ly very charming manners, for the mo­ ment, nnd then drops her hdhvily fringed lids over her eyes. "By-the-by," says Dulce, breaking in •upon what threatens to be nn awkward pause, "how d’ye do? I don't believe 1 have said that yet" Her whole tone and expression have changed as if by magic, the suggestion of ill’ temper is gone, the former vivacity reasserts itself. She lays her hands upon her visitor's shoulders ■with a light, caressing gesture, and leans toward her. "I shall give you a little kiss for your welconje, my dear cousin, if I may,” she •ays, very prettily. Portin ' ibart, acknowledging her grace, tells herself this new cousin will suit her very well, and returns her soft embrace ■with some warmth. She is feeling tired, •used up; even the two or three weeks she has been in town have been too much for •her. and she has come down io her uncle's fhouse nearly ready to confess to herself ■that she is seriously ill. Here, In the still^icss, in this great room, with the elms '■waving to and fro outside her windows, •nd the distant cawing of the rooks in the branches high out of sight, she feels rest .•nd comfort and a curious longing, that Ihas a strange pleasure in it, to stretch out Sher arms and sigh deeply and contentedly. “Sit in this chair, and rest a little be­ fore thinking of taking off anything else," any* Duke; “I shall pour out your ten." She goes, with a quick, undulating step that belongs to her, to a small round table, and makes ft little fuss orer the delicate fat Httle enps that stand on the tray. “Who is Dicky Browne?" demands Por­ tia. suddenly: if she is going to lire in this rather mixed household, she had better learn some particulars about the inhabit­ ants at once. “Not know Dicky? It argues yourself unknown. He is our celebrity. He is ■really immensely clever, about always do­ ing the wrong thing, and Indeed la ines­ timable in most. ways. He is your cousin, too. a* much as he is mine, which really," declares she, airily—“isn't much. But he is such a pet nil through that we magnify the third-cousinhip into a first. He rides very straight, and smokes the very pretti­ est cigarettes, and he is such a fool!” Miss Vibart is amused. “What a very •charming description,” she snys. with the low laugh she allows herself; "he sounds like something I have seen somewhere, and he certainly would be a treasure to Byron. Is he here now?” “Yes. He spend* most of his time here. Both he and Roger ore consumed with a desire to see you. You must know," says Dulcinea, laughing over her cups at -her cousin, “that a breath from the outer world came to us. whispering of your sucyour conquests, and your beauty gencral- “Who wafted so inaane a breath as that?” asks Portia, with a suppressed ■mile. “Mark Gore. Ho puts in a good deal of his time here, too." “Mark Gore never talks anything hut the very uttercst nonsense,” said Portia, with a taint blush, “No one minds him. I shall be quite afraid to go downstairs to present myself to Dicky Browne after all you have said. Consider his disap­ pointment!” * An hour has flown, nnd Dulcinen, stand­ ing in the doorway of her cousin's room, gazes on her with undisguised admiration. To Dulcinea anything lovely, he it man or beast or flower, is an lntcnse*nnd ever­ lasting delight, and now Portia enchants her. * '-‘Ah! Mark' was right,” says Dulce, with-a little sigh of intense*! pleasure. It is in the library that Miss Vibart makes herself known. Dulce entering first, with her gay little air, says: "This is Portia, Uncle Christopher." Thereupon a tall old man, rising from n chair, comes quickly up to them and takes Portia’s hand, .and, stooping very low, presses his lips to her forehead. “So glad. So glad you have come to us,” he says. In a tone that reminds her of Dulce's, though it is so deep nnd strong and masculine, and hers so very much the reverse in every way. “Bless, me, how dnys go by! Just last week, ns it seems to mo, I saw you a littiejrirl in short pet­ ticoats hnd frills, and furbelows, and now-----” "I wear petticoats still," snys Portia, demurely, .with a soft laugh, "and frills sometimes, and often furbelows, I think, though I don't in the least know what they mean, but they sound nice. So, after all. I should be now very much ns I was."' "Very much. But forgive me," says Sir Christopher, “if I say you were not any­ thing like as good looking then ns you are to-day." . "A speech easy to forgive," says Portia, lightly. Then after a pause. “I, too, re­ member what you were like in those old days." “What, then"?” asks Sir Christopher, giving a sudden pull to his collar, nnd be­ traying nn increased degree of interest. "Nothing like so good looking as you are to-day," retorts she, with a quick smile aud a little flicker of her eyelids. "Ah, we shall be friends," cries Sir Christopher, gayly. "Baby and you and I will ride roughshod over nil others; and we have wanted somcb'jtly to help us, haven't we. Baby?” Then he turns more entirely to Dulce; "Eh, a sharp wit. Isn't it?" he says.

Dulce is grateful for the unspoken sym­ pathy, but instead of accepting half the lounging chair, which is of goodly size, she sits down upon a cushion at Portia's feet, and leans her auburn head against her knee. “It was quite true that somebody had forged Uncle Christopher’s name for £500,but who it was never transpired. Uncle Christopher wanted to hush it up, but Fabian would not lot him. The writing was certainly Fabian's. I mean the imi­ tation wns exactly like it. Unfortunately, at that time Fabian did want money. lie had lost something over the Grand Na­ tional—nr one of those horrid places—and people heard of it; and then, oven after long waiting and strictest inquiry, we could not discover who had been the real offender, and that was worst of nil.

"Quito right?' There is a curious ring in Miss Vibart** tone ns she says this.' but Dulce is too occupied with sad retrospect to notice anything nt this moment.

The New York Journalist, After u Lonir Battle for Life, Succumbs to Exbnuittion-Nov* Scotia Town ia RuinsThe Triton Disaster. End of the Long fiiegc. The great Luetgert trial in Chicago, the most absorbing criminal prosecution of the century, ended in a disagreement of the jury. Fur sixty-rix hours lhe jury tried in vain to reach a verdict. For thir­ ty-eight hours the vote was 0 to 3 for convictkrn and ut 10:40 o'clock Thursday forenoon the twelve men announced nn irreconcilable disagreement, and Judge Tuthill, being convinced that it was unc­ les* and Inhuman to attempt to force a verdict, reluctantly ordered its discharge. The twenty-second and last ballot stood nine for conviction and three for acquit­ tal. This wns irrespective of any. ques­ tion of the penalty which hnd to wait on the jury’s decision as to the guilt or inno­ cence of the prisoner. ‘‘The big sausage maker, the center of a series of the most dramatic episodes in the annals of crim­ inal procedure, will have to go through this experience a second time, for he will be put on trial again for the murder of Ills wife. The closing events of the famous trial mhde up a scene of not more than eleven minutes’ duration. But a tense, feverish emotion was packed into every we of these minutes and even Luetgert. with his iron nerve, felt the strain. His face was bloodless ns he entered the court room and u tangle of deep furrows extended across his brow. A keen, swift look shot from beneath his shaggy gray eyebrows nnd his glance seemed to take iu at n flash that the supreme moment in hls fate hnd arriv­ ed. As he came in from the jail a battery of eyes threw at him looks whose signifi­ cance expressed all degrees of curiosity. In his walk, hls manner, his mien, con­ straint wns there and the anxiety that sent the blood from his cheek and put a purple tinge on his lips was visibly shared in by his counsel. Couit was opened and the jurors noti­ fied to appear. Nearly three days ot wrangling, loss of sleep, and the close con­ finement had worked a wonderful trans­ formation on them. They entered the room with lagging steps aud sank into their chairs a woe-begope looking crowd. Suu Editor No More. Charles A. Dann, editor of the New Y’ork Sun, died at his -home in Glencovc, Long Island, at 1:20. o’clock Sunday af­ ternoon. Death had been expected for several hours, and his family and physi­ cian* were at his bedside when the end came. His condition had been such for several months that the member* of his family had kept tbcnite'.ves in constant readiness to go to his bedside at nny mo­ ment Saturday morning he bad a re­ lapse. and it was apparent that recovery was impossible. Several times, however, he rallied, but toward nig|it began to sink. During the night there were feeble rallies, but they did not last long. In the morning it was seen that the end was but a few hours off, and his attendants re-' mained almost constantly at his bedside. The cause of Mr. Dana's death was cirrhosis of the liver. June D he was nt his office apparently strong and Eealthy. The next day he was token ill, and he never afterward visited New York. He was 7S years old. It is generally slated In newspaper cir­ cles that Mr. Dana hnd nothing to do wibh the editorship of tho Sun for the last rix months nnd had not had any financial in­ terest in the paper for some time. Theo­ dore E. Hitchcock, a Wall street banker, is reported to be the controlling owner and the publisher of the paper. Mr. Lahn is supposed to be the' next in ownership. It is thus not believed that Mr. Dana’s death will have any marked change an the policy of the pnjier for a time at least, though it is expected that a good deal of ADOLPH I.. I.CETGERT. In response to command from Judge Tutbill. Foreman Heichbold arose in his place and announced as his positive belief that no verdict could be reached. The judge interrogated the jurymen individually aud each positively declared that no influence or argument could change his opinion. The attorneys for both sides agreed that the jury be discharged, and it wns done. Thus ended the first trial of what must be regarded as one of the most remarka­ ble criminal cases of lhe century. The trial was in progress nearly nine weeks and cost the State of Illinois over $15,0U0. Of the disagreement it can frankly be said that the division in the jury fair­ ly represents the division of opinion iu the great world outside the jury box, where every fact and Incident of the trial hns been followed with engrossing scrutiny. It is probable that a poll of all those who have given intelligent consideration to the testimony aud the law ns laid down by the court would present a division of three to one in favor of a conviction. The proportion of those who believe in the prisoner’s guilt is probably much greater. But belief in guilt and convicting a pris­ oner «>n circumstantial evidence such as that produced for the State in this case are two very different things. Ready for u New Trial. State’s Attorney Deneen said he would press for another trial, but when he did not know. He said it would be on the same theory as the one finished was pros­ ecuted. The vat theory, the boiling of the body of bis wife io crude potash, and again the convincing part of the evidence of the heinous murder would be the rings. It wa» the rings that fortified the ma­ jority the jury in its demand for the conviction of Luetgert. Attorneys Vin­ cent nnd Phalen said they were ready for the new trial whenever it might be held. They said they would present a far Streng­ er defense than before. Luetgert snid he was anxious for another trial and confidetft. It would be ended iu his acquittal. He charged the failure of securing a ver­ diet that would exonerate him from the fearful charge to the fact that Juror Shaw was accepted. The next time, he asserts, be will take the stand in his own defense, with or without the consent of his counsel. Judge Tuthill said that he believed it would be impossible to delect a competent jury in Cook County on ac­ count <rf the publicity given to the pro­ ceedings of the trial just ended. It is therefore possible that Luetgert may nev­ er be tried again. Luetgert said he was not surprised that tbc jury disagreed and that he wm confi­ dent no verdict would be made tw«ityfonr hours before. He was not taken by ’ surprise when hr heard Foreman H«-ieh- I bold announce that no verdict bad ls*en * made and note wi> likely to follow. Neither was it a surprise to him when j every man hi ’be jury box said the .some j thing in to the question* of Judge 'I’niMll as he p*!h*d the Jury.

Judge Turhill asked Attorneys Vincent end Phalen what they were dis­ posed to «!•> aud they said it seemed as if She discharge of the jury wns the only (thing justified by the rituatiei:.

As a result of nil this the jury when it the jurors ask to be discharged.

It Is in the Hoosier , State that the organisation lyid prac* tice had their birth, and. although both Sutve since spread to many States, the people of no other community have been so afflicted with them as have the Indianans. How or by whom the first White Cap organization was formed Is not known, but early In the 80's It be­ gan operations, and its success In rid­ dling certain localities of miscreants .led to the rapid spread of the organlza-tton in many parts of the State. These men. wearing white-pillow-cases over their bends and shoulders, witli holes , cut through to enable them to see, be­ gan switching better living into the lawless element Armed with switches •they would ride silently up to the home of an outlaw, and. taking him un­ awares, would switch him nearly to ■death. In several cases death did re­ sult from the beatings which were ad­ ministered usually to the outlaw and his whole family Irrespective of sex. The White Caps were regularly organ­ ised and governed with great sternness -and secrecy. No one was admitted un­ less Ids character for honesty was above reproach. A sitting was held where It was thought desirable that the organization take up some special ease. When It had decided that punishment was necessary it was meted out with terrible sternness. In the earlier days the visitation seldom miscarried. The victim had no warning, until some night a score of men broke into his ■cabin and whipped him almost to death nt bls own gate post. He was then .given twenty-four hours to leave the ■country. The death which In many In­ stances followed refusals to obr.v this mandate had n salutary effect.

Oregon, has n unique musical novelty in the character of n Indies’ brass band, made up of the maids nnd matrons of the most prominent families in the town, whose social standing is pitched with the bon-ton. The band was or­ ganized a year ago, and was to lie a self-supporting organization entirely. As soon us organization was perfected Ways nnd means were canvassed by which funds could be raused for uniforms nnd Instruments. It was decided to give n concert, which proved a grand success financially, nt which the band made its first appearance in public. The audience mildly enthused over their playing—it was so much better than was expected. The Ladles’ Band was a anecess Then when the presidenti.il campaign opened they were nt once in demand.

UNCLE SAM’S FISH COMMISSION Important Branch of the Government of Which the Public Knows Little. The work of the United States Fish Commission is perhaps as little under­ stood by the people of the country gen­ erally a» any branch of the govern­ ment. While It Is not n division of any one of the nine great departments, it is created by the President of the United States, its officers are appointed by him, and the work it is accomplishing Is of great importance to several Indus­ tries of the country. In order to supply the demand for food, fish culture must Ik* resorted to In every thickly-populated country, for with the utmost protection the demand is always greater than the supply ^wiless nature Is aided In Its production of fish. Benjamin Franklin and other prominent Americans were strong ad­ vocates of fish culture and practiced the transplanting of fish in the closing years of the last century, but It was not until the early ’5th? that much at­ tention was given to the matter In the United States. At about this time the scientific men of the country began to Investigate the American streams, and they were not long in discovering that they were being rapidly cleared out. They expressed grave fears that the coast waters might also become deci­ mated of their finny Inhabitants. Steps were very soon taken by the different States to prevent such a catastrophe: in 1865 Massachusetts appointed the first fish commission; In 18(18 New York appropriated $1,000 for the same pur­ pose. Gradually the other States have followed suit until now a linnet every one has its fish commission, ami tdnetlt« first appropriation New York has spent over $350,000 for this object. In 18*0 Prof. Baird, then of the Kmtthsonfan Institution, fitted up a station at Woods’ Holl, on the southern ennsr of Massachusetts, at ids own expense, and maintained It for two years. mak­ ing,many valuable demonstrations of what could be done with a hatchery. The ]K>nds for fish culture'at Wash­ ington are not far from the Washing­ ton monument on the mall, and they are one of Its most attractive features. Rare s|M?clmens of fish are brought anti careful experiments are made to accli­ mate them, and here, too, arc hatched vast quantities of the eggs of the fish of commerce, which an* sent to the various stations all over the country. Duck Farming in Virginia. One of the largest and decidedly the best equipped duck farms in the United States is located at Riverton, Warren County, on the Southern Railway. John W. Morgan four years ago com­ menced raising ducks at Riverton on a small scale, and his business has grown until the output this year Is about 5.000 ducks, and be is enlarging his plant ami expects next year's output to in* about 15,000 ducks. Mr. Morgan's plant dccfiples two acres of ground, and this area in* will increase. The plant consists of an incubator bouse, a feed­ room, *a brooder house, home for cmnloyes, a wareroom, yards with shelter ror the ducks and water supply outfit. Including bath ponds, with running water for the fowls. The proprietor Is now adding to this plant. Tn tiie busy season there are fe<I to this farm 125 3%-gnllon buckets of mixed feed each day.

Feeding Pen for Hoge. Where hogs are fed near the house or burn, the fowls are apt to go among them and eat a large portion of the feed. An Indiana fanner has solved the problem by constructing a feeding pen »o that the hogs and pigs could go in and out at pleasure, but fowls of all kinds were excluded. In the Orange Judd Farmer he tells bow it is madeu Build a feeding floor several Inches above the surface of the ground aud Inclose with a tight board fence sur­ mounted with pickets a foot or more long. Make one or more openings near the ground for the hogs and hang a door, a, from the top so that it will awing pretty freely either way. Leath­ er straps or hinges that work easily will answer. The hogs will soon learn to go back and forth, but fowls will not enter. If there are two sixes of bogs, make a partition and in it con­ struct a small swinging door Juat large enough to admit the smaller pigs. A Good Old Rotation. The slx-year rotation so long followed In this section, the Shenandoah Valley, has some strong points Ln Its favor. The crops during the six years are in this order: Corn, followed by wheat, the ground being harrowed and the wheat drilled in. Immediately after the whegt is cut the next year, the ground is plowed thoroughly, prepared by harrow and roller, and sowed again to wh?at, this time accompanied with about a bushel of timothy to six acres and the same quantity of clover In the early spring. Then ‘hree crops of bay are mowed, making the six years. Very often fonr crops of hay are made. I have not counted tlie second crop of clover usually cut and hulled for seed the first season. Since Western seed generally can be Iraugnt at low prices, many think it better to pasture, or cut this second clover for cows. It will be noticed that this rotation, running six years, calls for plowing only twice dur­ ing that time, and gives three crops of uay, which we think pays better than other crops. Farmers who follow Mils old-time way are not getting rich, but they are probably holding their own about as well as others who follow newer and shorter plans. Try nil and hold fast to that which Is good, is not a bau motto.—American Agriculturist. Government Seed Shop. Lqst spring the Department of Agri­ culture distributed, at a cost of $130,­ 000, enough seeds of all kinds to plant nn area of 335 square miles, or 227,200 acres. Now, If there were some way of finding out just how many acres were actually planted with these seeds, and how much the crop produced therefrom Is worth In cash, we would probably hare a better argument than we can produce now In favor of knocking the Government seed bttglneM on the bead.

Fall Het Post* It is not generally considered a good time tp set posts in the fall. * No mat­ ter how well the soil Is compacted around them, rains will sink down in the soil that has lately been disturbed. The winter frosts will also penetrate more deeply, and In a winter when there is much freexlng and thawing will gradually lift the post up. If posts are set In fall for a fence the boards must be nailed on so ns to keep the posts from being twisted, so that they must be reset before a fence can be made. . By Product* of the Dairy. Close as competition now Is in all dairy products, those will achieve most success who are able to get most profit out of the by products of their busi­ ness. Wherever butter Is made the farmer can often make nearly as much from sklm-mllk as he does ffom the sale of butter. When sklm-mllk Is fed on the farm and only the butter sold, little of the soli fertility is lost. If it is fed to poulty or to growing p.lgs, It will In eggs and meat bring :>*; much money to the farmer’s {racket as the sales from butter Itself. • A Milk Strainer.

About the same lime he first expressed his plan of taxing* property on a single value—that is, taxing the land itself nnd not the im­ provements thereon. This was the origin of the single tax doctrine. In 1880 he removed to New York. The following year he published n volume on Ireland and England. His publication* of various theories on political economy made him one of the bast known men In the country. In 188G he wns the candi­ date of the laboring element for Mayor of New Y’ork, but was defeated by Abram S. Hewitt by. 22,000 votes.

Ten years ago, when he wns working at his present trade, he fell a victim tp a terrible blast­ ing accident, . A shower of broken stone driven by dynamite struck him. Hia face was lit­ erally blown off. Eyes, nose, teeth and a large portion of both jaws were carried away. . 4 mask of light black material was made for him. . It extends from the top of the forehead to the throat, and is strapped on sectfrely in two places, above the ears and around the throat. It serves both to spare the feelings of others and to protect the scar. The mask follows roughly the out­ lines of a face, leaving depressions for the eyes, a nose and a hole for the mouth. He is able to masticate food slightly with the remains of his jaw. To MOTHERS.

In the Insane asylum for women at the City of Mexico it has been observed for some time past that most of the cases of death were due to congestion of the brain, superinduced by the largo quantity of the particular narcotic ad­ ministered to the patients to overcome the insomnia which is an almost in­ variable accompaniment of mental aberration, says the St. Louis Globe­ Democrat. Dr. Lopez,Hermosa, who has charge of this asylum, communi­ cated his experience in this respect to Dr. Altamirano, principal of- the Na­ tional Medical Institute, with the re­ quest that, ajh tbe institute made a specialty of tbe study of Mexican flora, it would take up the endeavor to dis­ cover a narcotic not liable to produce cerebral disturbances. Dr. Altamirano was not long in an­ swering that he knew of a substance such as we desired, which was nothing but an extract from the seed of the white xapote. This narcotic has been tried at the insane asylum for women, with the result that it has been found to produce a tranquil sleep and does not lead to cerebral congestion, for since it has been in use no case of death from that disease has occurred. Moreover, it has been found that this extract, mixed with the bromides best suited to each particular case of insanity, di­ minishes the violence of attacks ns well ns their duration and frequency. This discovery is considered of great im­ portance to medicat science. insist on Having The Kind That Never Failed You. ■I THE CENTAUR OOOFMT, f TT BURRAT RTRECT, NEW TOR* MTT. « Blacksmithing, PLAIN or FANCY...

OUR CHICAGO MARKET LETTER Chicago. Nov- 1.1897. Both the grain and stock markets are in a most hesltby condition, and at the beginning of tbe winter months tbe fanner finds himself In belter po&ltlou than ae bas occupied for years. Primarily bls prosperity comes from high prices that have been obtained for farm pro­ ducts during the last two months. In that lime wheat bas sold above”a dollar a bushel, and has been below 90 cents for a day or »o only, the price at present being about 97. This excellent price Is caused solely by tbe actual demand ki other countries for our principal cereal, aud this feature of the situation bas been an agreeable surprise to those who feaied that the quick rise in the price of wheat from 65 cents to a dollar would be ephemeral, that th* European demand was a mere temporary affair, and that the shortage here and else­ where bad been overestimated. Schwartz, Du pee Jc Co. were practically the first to point out the true situation in Europe. This firm's foreign connections arc so "extensive that in­ formation came to It from every European country concerning the shortages. Tbe re­ ports sent out months ago predicting a con­ tinued wheal demand from abroad have been verified, and to-day wheat is selling close to a dollar a bushel, solely or. its intrinsic value. That it will continue on a generously high plane for months to come Is not doubted by loose who are aware that the acreage sown to winter wheat this year, is, by reason of tbe drouth, very much leas than for several sea­ sons past. Until definite information that a good fair crop of winter wheat is assured has come there can be n-i valid reason for any ma­ terial recession of the price. Oats have commanded better prices during the last week than for some time, it being arcued that tbe highiprice of wheat will cause them to come into more extensive use (or food than ever before. Corn is not being marketed by farmers at present prices, but with such a viable supply It will be hard matter for the market to rifle just now. Later on It can eas­ ily happen-that prices may seem too low. The price range to-day was as followg; “ Range -last week, • Today’* close wheal. December, OTX i»X May. WJ< corn. December, 27 3% May.

Dturcc Muwnx. The present deadlock fa the retchwath at Vienna, owing to the-German obstruclion, ha* created a critical situation, and in some quarter* a suspension of tbe Aus­ trian constitution is believed possible. At a late session of the lower house, after an uproarious dispute between Dr. Kramarez, the acting president, and the German opposition, the chamber adopted by a large majority the acting president’s pro­ posal to discuss the motions for the im­ peachment of the ministry at the morning sittings and to devote the evening* to the bill for the.extension of’tlic compromise with Hungary, tbe delay In adopting which i« causing much resentment In Hungary and rendering the passage of the treaty by the Hungarian parliament ex­ tremely doubtful. In the lower house of the Hungarian parliament nt ^Budapest, Barou Banffy, the premier, replying to Herr Francis Ko«*uth. son of the cele­ brated Hungarian patriot, who urged the Government to “take advantage of Aus­ trian chno* nnd try for Hungary’s inde­ pendence.” declared thnt the ministry had no intention of turning Austria’s diffi­ culties tlnrcfsonnbly to the advantage of the Hungarians. . “The union of tbe two countries,” he declared, “must be regard­ ed ns indissoluble. Should the Austrian constitutional *y*tcm break down—which God forbid—the Hungarian Government would be obliged to net independently re­ garding the joint questions of the custom* and commercial treaty between Austria nnd Hungary, nnd of the charter and priv­ ilege* of the Austro-Hungarian bank*.’’ .This announcement canned n great sen­ sation, and it is believed that Boron Banffy spoke with the consent of the em­ peror-king, and that hi* statement points to the possibility of absolutist government in Austria. - ANSWER FROM SPAIN. Wordford’s Note Doe* Not Call Forth a Defiant Reply. President McKinley has bad laid before him at Washington the text of Spain's answer to Minister Woodford. In com­ pany with Secretary Sherman and As■sistant Secretary Adec he went over the document with great care. A* a result it can be stated from official quarters at the White House that the construction placed upon tbe answer-by tbe administra­ tion is that it j* not defiant in tone; is not menacing nnd is not warlike. Under such circumstance* tbouc officials who are chiefly concerned in the negotiation* do not feel that any crisis is near nt hand, nor do they fear that the answer present* nn issue beyond the power of diplomatic solution. On the contrary, the entire dis­ position in administration quarter* is to treat the answer ns satisfactory in tone, end as a marked advance in the assur­ ance* Spain has heretofore given. Not­ withstanding thi* official view, there are those who belh-ve thnt the message is much stronger in tone than the officials will admit, and that It presents issues which will cnli from the President a ring­ ing message when he lays the case nnd all the correspondence before Congress a few week* hence. From no authoritative source, however, can thi* belligerent view be confirmed. OFFICERS OF SCOTTISH RITE. lamnge on the beach fronts waa f reported. The wind out at sen wail ter1‘ rifle.

The Spanish volunteers, who.number about 7,000 oo the island, are not taken into considera­ tion. but are dismissed by the plotters as men who never fight.

Tbe boys, ns Dulce irreverently terms them, are coining slowly across the grass, trampling the patient daisies. Tbe sun has “dropped dowrdk nnd the '•day i* dead," ____ and' twilight, - — eoming up, i* ’ covering _ nil the land. A sort of subtle sadness lies on every­ thing, except "the boy#;" they are evi­ dently full of the enjoyment of some joke, and arc gay with smiles. Mr. Browne is especlnlly glad, which convinces hi* pretty cousin on the balcony that he has been the perpetrator of the “good thing" just recordetl. At her voice both he nnd his companion start, and Roger, raising his eye#, meets hors. He is a tall, slight young man, handsome, in­ dolent, with dark eyes, and a dark mus­ tache, nnd a very expressive mouth. Dicky Is'distinctly different. He is a little short, and a little stout, and a little—n very lit­ tle-good looking. At least, he is beaming with bonhomie, and that goes a long way with most people. He scorns now rather taken by Dulce's speech, and says: “No! Has she‘really come'?" in a loud voice, that i# cheery aud comfortable to the last degree. He can't see Portia, ns she is stiting down, and is quite hidden from view by the trailing roses. "Is she •all your fancy painted her’? 1# she ‘lovely and divine? ” goes on Mr. Browne, gaily, as though seeking information. "Beauties are always overrated," says Roger, scntentiously, in an even louder voice—indeed, at the very top of his strong young lungs—"just tell somebody that somebody else thinks so-nnd-so fit to pose as a Venus, and the thing is done, and soand-so becomes a beauty on the #pot! I say, Dulce, I bet you anything she is m> ordinary ns you please, from the crown of her head to the sole of her foot!” “I can’t follow up that beL”.»ay« Dulce, who has changed her |K>sition so as effec­ tually to conceal Portia from view; nnd who is evidently deriving intense joy from the situation, "because I have only scon her fncc*nnd' ber hand#—and they—to say the least—are passable!” "Passable! 1 told you so!" says Roger, turning to Dicky Browne with fine dis­ gust. "Is she aesthetic?” . •Fast?" asks Dicky, anxiously. "Stupid—dull—impossible?” “No—no—uof . “I thank my stars,” says Dicky Browne, devoutly. "She has two eyes nnd n very remark­ able nose,” says Miss Blount, with a nod. “Celestial or Roman?*’ demands Roger, lazilyAt this moment they reach the balcony, and Dulce says, blandly, apropos of Rog­ er’s last remark: * "Perhaps if you ask her thnt question, as she is here, she will answer you her­ self." ■She waves her hand toward Portia. Por­ tia rises and. comes us step forwanl, all her soft draperies making a soft frou­ frou upon the stone flooring: nnd then there is a good deal of consternation, nnd a tableau generally. "I'm sure 1 beg your panion," say# Roger, when breath returns to him, cast­ ing an annihilating glance at Dulce, who catches it deftly, piny# with It a moment, and then flings it carelessly over the bal­ cony into the rising mist and night. “Whatever you l>eg you shall have," says Portia, coming nearer to him and holding out a riim, white hand.. "How d'ye do, Roger?" • “It is quite too good of you to forgive me so soon.” says that young man, press­ ing with deep gratitude the slim, friendly band. “It wns beastly mean of Dulce: si ... might have told us,” this with an­ other glance, meant to wither, at thnt mischievous maiden, who rather revels in her guilt. “My only apology is that 1 didn't know you—had never seen you. or I could not so have expressed myself..” “Miss Vibart—Mr. Browne,” says Rog­ er, seriously. But nt this Dicky forgets himself, and throws dignity to the winds. “She called you Rogers l*m as much her eousin as ever you were!” he says, in­ dignantly. "Mr. Browne, indeed!" At this both girls 'laughed merrily, and so. after a hit. does Dicky himself, to whose soul the mildest mirth is nn ever­ lasting joy. “I am then to call you Dicky?" asks Portia, smiling, and. lifting her eyes ns though half-reluctnntly to hja* she has quite entered into the spirit of tbe thing. It has its charm, this lowert^! tone. Dicky gives in to it: and—metaphorically speaking—instantly prostrates himself at Miss Vjbart’s feet. “Any chance of dinner tonight?" says a cheery old voice behind them, nnd turn­ ing, they see Sir Christopher standing inside the open window of the df&wlng room, smiling Upon them with the utmost benignity. Portia lays her band upon his arm and, followeil by tbe others (who were plainly quarreling in a warm, if subdued, fashion! now into the grand old dining room. Roger takes the foot of the table; Dicky scats himartf next to Portia; Dulce, a# she always does when no for­ eign guests are present, seats herself near fncic Christopher. One place, however, is empty; by right it Is Roger's; who, except when Fabian is absent, never rits at the foot of the table. Sir Christopher fusses a little, grows discontented, and finally says uneasily: "Where is Fabian?” “He has a headache, dear.” says Dulce, gently. “He hope# we will all excuse him —especially Purtia.” “He would be better here than moping in his own room," says Sir Christopher. !n a low voice. His spirits are evidently demrrd, though he makes au effort to aupdhuc the fact; his smile grows faded, and cigarettes: Dicky Browne place# a shawl round Portia’s shnnldcra. “You here-, Fabian?" says Dulee, glad­ ly. “And making friends with Portia? That’s right.” * "Taking a mean advantage of us all, I call it,” says. Dicky Browne. ' "We got introduced In the cruel glare of day, with all our imperfection# on our heads. You waited for moonshine, balmy air, secnt of roses, poetical effVct, and so on! That’s why you stayed away from dinner. And to think none of u* saw through youf "Ah!

But what was a quartet without tbe first tenor? There was no getting a substitute, but for all that they would give Notel a surprise. On the eve of the festal day the three mem iters of the club, armed with lan­ terns, met at the appointed time before the house of their respected president; nnd after some clearing of throats and twanging of tuning-forks, the music began. • A small crowd collected in the street, and the windows In the vicinity were lined with appreciative listeners. The Herr Burgomaster and his family also appeared ’ nt the windows of their brightly Illuminated, sitting-room. The first bars of the well-known song, "Silent Night.” left much to be desired; but the three voices bravely held on their way amid the surrounding still­ ness, and In a few moments Herr Notel went down Into the street and joined in the quartet. No sooner was tbs song finished than he ran up-stalrs again, appeared at the open window, and In loud, clear tones, ■thanked the club for their ovation. Had Seen Worse.

Object Glawtc* and Their Manu­ facturer»-The Delicate Operations Involved in Grinding o Law Glass. Some Big Telescopes. The opening of the Yerkes Observatory vrn* one of the moat notable event* in the history of modern astronomy, for the teleacopc then put in o{*rntioo i« the most powerful instrument that has ever been turned to the heavens. The ’distinguish­ ed American astronomers who, from many institutions, gathered nt the observ­ atory had nn opportunity such ns wan never offered to astronomers before, for thb enormous jwwer of the 40-incb object gin** brought into view .details on tlie moon nnd planets to n degree never equal­ ed by any glass previously constructed. Tlie Yerkes Observatory, so called from It* founder, is probably tbe most perfectly equipped observing station in the world, whether ?on«lden*d with regard to Its sit­ uation. to the number of its instruments or their delicacy. Tbe situation is chos­ en with'reference to obtaining not only a clear sky. free from dust and smoke nnd ■electric light, but also a spot free from vibrations of the earth. The instrument* of an observatory are so delicate that the Jarring of the earth caused by u passing wagon or train mny put them out of equi­ poise ami require a readjustment. The observatory is called a Chicago institu­ tion, but Is, as a matter of fact, located in Wisconsin, at the head of larke Geneva, seventy-five miler, from Chicago. A large nren of ground was purchased ami laid off in such a wny that there should lie no roads in the immediate vicinity of the building. The nearest railroad track is almost two miles distant, while*the clos­ est electric lights are seven miles. The instruments can easily be protected from electrical disturbances, but the shining of an electric light in the sky i« a source of serious embarrassment to the observing astronomer, for a bright illumination close at hand nullifies the power of hi* instru­ tn ent when observing the stars. Thus it will be seen no pains have been spared to perfect all the condition* fnrwable to the -astronomer and the great fortune which "has been expended in fitting out the ob­ servatory has made it perhaps tbe most •.perfect on the planet. The main building is 350 feet in length, •or more than one city block, while the two L* are each l<ip feet. The dome, in which the great telescope is located, i* nt the further extremity of the main build­ ing. while nt the ends of the Ls are small­ er dome* for telescopes of less (tower and other instruments. The building In which the great equatorial is suspended is cov•ered with nn iron dome 90 feet in diame­ ter ami 60 feet in height. The tube of the telescope has a length of more than ■tilt feet, and is hung upon Htipi>orts whose foundations <>t "solid granite sink deep into tbe earth. The dome Is "placed upon I thirty-six wheels, each a yard in diameter, and is moved in any desired direction by ’machinery, while there is a movable floor which, by very clever mechanism, can be .made to rise or fall so that no matter nt *what angle the telescope may lie set the observer can stand on the floor to do hi* 1 work or rent himself in a chair, lifting the floor from time to time ns may he nec«c»*ary. The unmitinted should understand thnt 'when a te!e*co|»e is fixed upon a star the instrument does not keep the object in fu•cus more lh:t.n a minute, unless especial provision l« made for moving the telescope with the apparent motion of the star. The Ktar really stands still, but the motion of the earth upon its axis is constantly plac­ ing the telescope out.of focus, nnd. there­ fore. means have been devised by which the telescope can be tnofed nt a rate equal to that of the apparent motion of the star, so that when the object is'nnce in focus and the clock work which moves the tele­ scope is started, the Instrument will fol­ low the star from dark until dawn, thus giving ample time for observations of any length. As in spite of the wonderful me-clint, ism used hi the work n large telescope is qot easily moved, the star to be observ­ ed is first located by menus of the “find•er/’ n much smaller telescope, and the position in the he-.irens of the object Iklug utwertniiied. the great ttrfeseope is moved ••cconllng to the scale of a gradu­ ated circle placid just beneath and an •exact focus is obtained. The Yerkes teleis fully Equipped with every modern invention, not only for observing, but also for recording the observation*. Photo­ graphic nnd spectroscopic apparatus may be connected with the telescope in such a wny as to make, with the aid of this in­ strument, the most delicate records of the appearance of the celestial light* aud as­ certain their composition. What mny he expected from the new in­ strument is indicated by the information gained on the first evening of observation. The instrument was turned on the moon as the nearest, nnd. In many respect*, tbe most ifitetesting <»f our celestial neigh­ bors. Considerable excitement hn* been aroused in astronomical circle* by reports from Paris that the observer* there de­ tected, or. thought they detected, appear*Luev» in the moon Indicating the presence ct water and vegetation. Tbe accepted lheory is that the moon is a dead world, having no atmosphere. and if there is any water, it haa retired to the Interior of Mr celestial companion. The observations through the Yerkes telescope confirm this opinion, for though much detail hitherto unobserved came into-view, no indications were olmervet! of atmosphere, water or vegetation. It is anticipated that very interesting discoveries will be made with regard to Man. The advance in tele­ scopes ha* been followed by a correspond­ ing increase of knowledge with regard to this rpmnrknbk* planet. nnd th’e public in­ terest aroused through the discoveries of the astronomers nnd flic speculations of imaginative writers, has led to n lively demand for further information which the astronomers at William's Bay will not be slow to gratify. ■ The Yerkes telescope has an object glass of 40 inches nnd a focal distance of over <50 feet, the glass being, as already stated, the largest ever made. The Clarks have a similar glass in hand, which, when com­ pleted, will be placed in an observatory, scope, with a glass ■lightly less than 15 inches in diameter, was put In operation at Cambridge. Maas., by Harvard Univer­ sity; in I860 the Litchfield Obaervatopof Hamilton College at Clinton, N. Y-, was provided with a 13.5-inch glass, and about the natqe time Columbia College, New York, provided itself with a 13-lnch abject glass. There are glasses of similar size nt Allegheny, Fa., and Albany, N. Y., while others of 12 inches nnd less are In position st so many places in the United States that to give a Ifart.of them would be tediomf. " The principal foreign refracting tele­ scope* are those located at Poulkova, in Russia, 30 inches; at Nice, of the same diameter; tbe Greenwich nt London han a glass of 28 inches, the Royal Observa­ tory at Paris has a 27-inch. glass, while the Imperial Observatory at Vienna 1* fitted with n telescope of the same power; the University of Cambridge, England, bus a 25-lnch lens in the telescope; the observatories at Milan nnd Strnsburg have each 18-iuch glasses; the Huggins telescope in London Is 15 inches, while at Poulkova.' in addition to the 30-inch glass, there hi also a 14-lneb, glasses of similar size being located n< observatories in Paris, Lisbon, Brussels and Bordeaux; glasses of 13-lnch and. les* are numerous iu Eurojie, but less so than in America, for in facilities for astronomic observa­ tion we, as in most other rv*(»ccU, lead the world. The greatest reflecting telescopes in the world are Lord Rosae’s, ’nt Parsontown, Ireland, with a 72-inch reflector; the Bes­ semer, London, 50; Sir William Herschel, 48; Lassell, Liverpool nnd Melbourne, 48inch; Pari*. 47-inch; Common Ealing, 37; Toulouse, 83JLinch; Marseilles, 31.5, nnd Harvard College. 28-lnch. The enormous weight of the mirrors of the reflecting tel­ escope is a serious objection to their use. The two reflectors iu Lord Kosse's telesenpe weigh the one seven nnd the other four tons, nnd the difficulty of easting in a homogenous mass such n quantity of metnl i* ns great nn obstacle to 'it* em­ ployment In n telescope as the cost. There has recently been discovered, however, a method of covering plate-gins* with sil­ ver so ns to give n perfect reflection, and if this proves successful reflecting mirror* may yet piny nn important part iu the his­ tory of practical astronomy.

It 1* said that nearly forty disk* were tested before a selection was finally made of one to be used for tbe Yorkes telescojM*. The testing of the disk* i* a matter of mathematical accuracy, the gloss to be used being placed’in a room dark­ ened. save for a small light at tbe other end, then careful instrument* ore emjiloyed to test every quarter inch .of the en­ tire surface. Sometimes there is a super­ ficial flaw, which disappears in the grind­ ing, but if tlie defect l« .in the interior of the disk, thnt piece of gla*s is worthless "for astronomical purposes, and is set aakle at once. •’ After the selection of n perfect diskthe grinding begins. In it* early stage* machinery mny be employed to reduce the disk to nn approximately correct form, bnt after the coarse grinding is finished all the rest of the labor must bo done by hand, a work of great length nnd inex­ pressibly tidlous. The object glass of the Yorke* telescope required iw-nriy. two years nnd a half of constant daily labor for its completion, nnd the <>0*1 was $70.­ 000. After the mechanical grinding Is completed,’ the workmen begin with emery jHiwder nnd leather pads, ami by n slow circular motion gradually work down tlie surface of the glass to the required di'mensions. The tetiiotmiess of grinding dowrm disk of tough glass by slowly mov­ ing one's hand* over its surface Is more exasperating than the hardest Inbor. Day after day, week after week, mouth after month, the mechanic, n skilled mechanic at that, spends his time in rubbing tbe surface of the glass. Hr cannot see that he hn* made any progress from month to month; for within a few weeks after he has begun the glass appears a* brightly polished ns possible, but ria- skilled eye of the KUpcrinleniieiit can detect the differ­ ence between the highest (xtiish attaina­ ble nnd any degree below that. It is not only, however, for the sake of the jHilish that the workman labors, fur the glass must be worn away to the required di­ mensions and the most delicate mathemat­ ical instruments are daily called into play to determine the progress thnt has been made. In six to nine months the progress becomes perceptible* in eighteen months the work is fat advanced, at the end of twenty-four mouths of steady rubbing, the glass is approaching completion. Here and there, however, in spite of the care with which the rubbing ha* been done, tbcr& are inequalities detected by the in­ strument*. if not by the eye. nnd these must be remedied by a little extra rubbing here, a little less there. Finally, as a con­ cluding operation, the workman spends weeks rubbing the surface of the glass with his bare hand: no reducing sub­ stance. no emery, not**vvu the finest nnd softest (>owdcr, will answer the purpose; tin* bare band alone must complete the operation. When the hand of one work­ man is liereft of tlie skin, another takes his place, and the bare-hand rubbing goes on for weeks and months. Finally the instruments detect no further inequali­ ty's. the tired bauds of the workmen rest and regrow the cuticle that has been lost —the glass is finished. At die workshop it is mounted in a tem­ porary tulx*, then taken down. and. if necessary; retouched at different points nnd packed for shipment. Seventy-thousund-dollar object glasses for telescope* do not travel in freight ear*: the jolting would ruin them forever. They arc pack­ ed with dense layer* of cotton batting, in boxes j'spevlalty made for die purpose, are trans(»<»rled in sofr->pring<i| vehicles, at a walk, to the nearest railroad station, nnd then ride in a palace car to their des­ tination. The box Is set on edge, and at ev<’ry few miles is turned so ns to pre­ sent another edge of the glass to the jar­ ring motion of the train,lest,on account of the great weight, the substnme of the gins* should be changed in texture by the internal strain. A force of skilled me­ chanics accompany the gins* to its desti­ nation; no one is allowed to touch it but th,*sc men. who themselves attend to tbe work of ndjustirffc It in the Jelescope and tht-n of mounting the instrument. Ere it starts cn its journey it is insured for it* full value against accident, mid the Kohinoor in the Tower of Ixtndon is not watched more closely than the object glass wf a telescope. Little by little the wonders of the heav­ ens are disclost'd to our view, but he who imagines that the revelations made by the great telescopes are without labor knows nothing of die intelligent effort, the innumerable calculation*, the patient nnd long-continued toil represented by the object glass of a telescope. A CbriHtlan Endeavor. It was the work of Dr. F. E. Clark, nnd was successful, ns the reader will sis'. The doctor wtts hi a railway car In India, and In another compartment wen* several private soldiers. The story Is told by Doctor Clark In the Gnldcn Rule: The soldiers were beguiling the te­ dium of the way by coaxing to their eompartineut every poor, mangy dog which they could induce to come near lhem with a chicken bone or a piece of bread. Then, when the dog got within striking distance, with a heavy hockey stick they would lilt him with all thdr might over the hacl: or legs. I saw tlu'in break the lni»’k of one poor dog, nnd the leg of another thnt went off crying with a most pitiable “kl-l-l." I now thought U was time to Int^bI fen*, and ns few p<«oplc travel In this part of India except government offi­ cials and military officers. I knMv that "Tommy Atkins” would take me 'for one of his sujH*rior officers. So, put­ ting my head into the compartment where the four human brutes were seated. 1 said to them: “You are the most, cruel and coward­ ly men I've eves seen in my life, to in-stt tlie poor dogs in this way. If I know of your doing anything more of this sort on this journey, I will report you . to the general Ju command nt Agra." it is needlesH to say_that-these par­ ticular 'Tommies" were cowardly as well as brutal. They said not a word, but slunk into a corner of the compart­ ment, and I beard no more yelping TELKSCOl’E. dogs tirnt day.________________ Fashionable Ink in Pari*. telescope must be of perfectly homogen­ ous texture throughout.

The Republi­ can* made n fight for the present gold standard, for Republican principles and for the election of Murk Hanna to the "Senate. In. Maryland the important fight was over the senatorship. In New York, where interest centered almost solely in the Greater New York mayoralty fight, the situation was badly mixed. The Dejpocrats were divided into silver nnd gold faction*. Tammnnyites and anti-Tammunyite)*. The Republicans had to con­ tend with a division of their forces on account of the independent nomination of the Citizens' Union in New York City, .nnd with a small fragment of. the nntiPlntt Republicans. Then the dramatic death nnd the funeral of Henry George, the nominee of thq Democracy of Thoma* Jefferson and author of "Progress am! Poverty,” on the ere of the election, nn ttnprerciiented event in the political his­ tory of the country, if uot of the world, nnd the selection of his son Henry George as his political heir," brought about com­ plications which had never before been encountered in n munlclpSTcittupaign. In Iowa very important local considerations entered into the fight. The Democrat*, iu addition to making a fight on the other Bryan lines, attacked the record of the Republican State officers, accusing them of extravagance, etc, and n hard light was made by bftth parties. In Nebraska, the Democrat*. Populists nnd silver Republi­ cans were united. Iu Kentucky it was a struggle between Blackburn nnd the Car­ lisle-Lindsay gold Democrat*.

In the State the Republican landslide* of the past two year* have been reversed by the changing of something like 240,000 vote*. Gov. Block’s plurality last year was over 200,060. John Palmer, the Re­ publican Secretary nf State, won the year previous by over 100,000. The indications are thnt these enormous pluralities have been swept away, and a reverse plurality of between 30.000 and 50.000 is given. The greatest surprise* of the return* are tbe great gains made in the Assembly by tbe Democrat*, many of them being in cotnities and districts where there was no expectation on the part of the Democratic manager* «>f winning.

The inofficial vote for Mayor follows: Van Wyck. 235.800: Ldw. 149,873; Tracy, l()l,Ki3; George, 20,886; Gleason. 521.

SECRETARY WILSON'S WORK. agent* for the department should be sta- American embassies for the collection ot information of interest tn American fann­ ers. Referring to this subject, hr says: "We are endeavoring to get infrrmntMo from foreign countries with which we couipste in the markets of tbe world, re­ garding crops and prices. We are also Joking steps to ascertain what crops are grown on different thermal lines so that seeds and plants mny intelligently be brought to this-country to assist in the diversification of onr crops and add to their variety. There is necessity for American agents iu every foreign coun­ try to which we send representatives, who have hud education in the sciences relat­ ing to agriculture. 'The agricultural col­ leges, endowed by Congress are educating along these lines." . The Secretary refers to the efforts of the department to extend the foreign mar­ kets for our dairy and life stock product*, which he thinks can be done by making the foreigners familiar with them. In­ stead of sending abroad for seeds he «ay» the policy in the future will be "to en­ courage the introductioin of such seeds n» will enable our people to diversify their crops and keep money nt home that is now sent abroad to buy what the Unit­ ed States should produce." Mr. Wilson says tbe department will continue its pioneer work in the encour­ agement of the sugar beet nnd expresses tlie opinion that the'country will within a few years raise all the augur it requires. He expresses the opinion that nearly al! • of the $382,000,000 sent abroad last year for Mugnr, hides, fruits, wines, animals, rice, flax, *bemp, cheese, wheat, barley, beans, eggs and silk might have been kept nt home. He also thinks the United States should grow their own chicory, cas­ tor begins, lavender, licorice, mustard, opium, etc. With tefeiynee to horses the Secretary says: "The American former can grow hdraeg ns cheaply as he can grow cattle. We have a heavy nnd profitable ex;»ort trade in cattle nnd may have an export trade equally heavy and profitable in horses. The department is gathering facts regarding our home industry at home and the requirements of purchasers nln-ond, so thnt our farmers can learn what foreign buyers demand." Tbe most important work in which the animal industry bureau has hern engaged is. he says, that looking to the destruction of the cattle tick, for which, it l» believed, thnt an agent has been found in a petroleam product known as paraffin oil. in which infected cattle are dipped.

Ten thousand enthusiastic Chicagoans gave emphatic approval to their first horse slyiw in the beautifully decorated and brilliantly illuminated Colbourn. Society on the opening night filled the boxes and v graced the spacious promenade which en­ circled the right. It was full an hour after the opening before the places of honor were filled by many Chicago nota­ bles. The beat, the handsomest, the fleetcat nnd the most aristocratic members of the family of horses were gathered to receive their admirers during the w< ek.

Two decades later there were one thousand, two hundred and thirty-five. In the arts an equally rapid advance has been made, namely: From four hundred and two women sculptor* and painter* In 1870, to eleven thousand In round numbers, sccording to tbe last census. The number of five thous­ and, seven hundred and thirty-five women musicians at tbe beginning, had increased by tbe close of tbe same period to thirty-four thousand, five hundred and eighteen. Of women authors and editors It may well be said that their name is legion, They are in all the walks of literary life.

"I Ktipjxjsc we should be thankful ■for small mercies; but I wish the Fen* was a little nearer to this place that it is.” "Portia, can you see Inca's Cliff from this?” asks Dulce, looking nt her cousin. "You remember the spot where we saw the little blue flower* yesterday, that you so coveted. How clearly It stand* out now beneath the moonbeams.” "Like burnished silver," says Portia, dreamily, always with a lazy motion wafting her black fan to and fro. "And those flowers—how I longed for them, principally. I suppose. Iwcause they were beyond my reach.” • "Where are they?” asks Roger. “1 never remember seeing blue flower* there." "Oh! you wouldn't notice them," say* hi* fiance, a fine touch of petulance in her tone that.mnkes Gower lift his head to look at her: "but they were there, nev­ ertheless.

Nearer they come, and still nearer, with that mad haste belonging to them that suggests unmanageable fury in the brute breast; and as all on the balcony rise rimultaneoosly and press forward to see what may be coming, Bess and the dog cart turn the corner near tbe chestnut tree und dash onward towrfrd the lower lawn. Sir Christopher, grim and as full of rage as the animal in whose power he now finds himself, is still holding the reins— but more for form’s sake than anything else. a* he has no control whatever over the Infuriated chestnut, that, with red­ dened nostrils and foam-covered flanks, is rushing madly down the green slope.

Winter, a retired carpen­ ter. who Ilves nt 826 North Carey street. Baltimore, has entered heart and soul Into the wizard business wdth remark­ able results. In a coxy little back yard of Mr. Winter's home grows a peach tree that has produced annual crops of luscious fruit for a number of years. Two years ago Mr. Winter grew weary of the conventional covering of the peaches in his limited orchard, nnd de­ termined at least to produce a peach minus that objectlonal nap or down. He began a scries of experiments, and that year produced a pench clothed in the ordinary raiment of tbe banana; but not satisfied with the result of his startling assault on nature, be hns suc­ ceeded In producing a crop, which is just now ripe, that looks for all the world like a tree full of apples.. The skin of tbe fruit is perfectly smooth and of a dark red hue, shading grad­ ually into a yellow that' Mr. Winter claims Is a remnant of the banana skin. "Next year," said he, "I’ll have an orange skin on them." Quite Plain. Scene—German art gallery.

Immediately after noon the jury was sworn and County Attorney Tobin made the opening statement to the jury. He said that the State expected to prove that Novak was on the brink of financial ruin and insured his life for large.sums of money, nnd that in murdering Ku ward Murphy, which was a part uf the precon­ ceived plan, it was for the purpose of causing the people to believe that he (No­ vak) had perished in the ruin*, and that it all was done with the intent of de­ frauding the Insurance companies.

"Ah! well,” she say*, lightly, "then I •appose I have succeeded, but you must promise me. nevertheless, thnt you will have a doctor to look at yon.” Her tone is still exquisitely kind; but there is new n studied indifference about it that hurts him keenly.

In the library the lamps are lowered. No­ body baa come downstairs yet, ami the footmr.n. giving the last lingering touch to the little sweet gossiping fire that warns them of winter's approach, turns to leave the room. On tlie threshold, hoqjcver, he stands aside to let Miss VIbnrt enter. She is dressed In a white satin gown, creamy in shade, nnd rather severe in its folds. Some pale vhitor-lllies lie upon it, as though cast to it lovingly, I™ if rfbd to hnve found so soft n resting-place. There is no flower in her hair, and no jewels anywhere, except the Three rows of priceless jewels that clasp her slender throat. There is a discontented line about her month, a wistful, restless expression in her eyes. She moved slowly, too, as if gladmss is fur from''tier, and shows’in every glance nnd movement a strange amount of languor. As though her thoughts compel her to action, she walks aimlessly from place to place, and now, as if she ia listening for something to come; and nguih, as if she is trying to make up her mind to take some step from which she shrinks In secret. At Inst, drawing her breath with n sudden quick­ ness. born of detenuinntiqiL she opens a drawer in a cabinet, and tallng from it a little volume she opens the library door, and turning to the right, walks swiftly down the corridor. From out the shadow n figure advances toward her, a figure bent and uncomely, thnt tries in vain to avoid the meeting with her. and to get out of sight before recognition sets in. It is the old man Slythc. As she secs him theregieturns to Portia the memory of many other times when she has met him here in this corri­ dor, with apparently no meaning for his presence. Some unaccountable and ut­ terly vague feeling ot dislike for this man has bum .her* ever since she first saw him. He is repugnant to her in a remark­ able degree, considering how little he lias to do with her life in any way. “He seems to haunt tips part nf the house," she says to herself now. uncom­ fortably. "If I were Fabian I should hate to know there was a chai; re of meet­ ing him every time I opened my door." When she has passed, the secretiry raises his eyes'and watches her departing form furtively. There is great cunning mixed with malignity nnd resentment in his glance. He mutters something in­ audible, that carries no blessing in its tones, but yet, as though fascinates] by her beauty, he stands still and follows each step she takes upon the polished oaken flooring. As she stops nt a particular door, bis whole face chan^ys, anil satisfied aualiec takes the place oFresentment. "Even stub pridfrwm stBop," he mut­ ters. with n half-drunken chuckle. “And it is I, my fine lady—who can scarce breathe when 1 nin by—that have power to wring your proud heart.” He turns, and shambles on toward his own den. Portia's steps have grown slower ns she gets nearer to the door be­ fore which Slyine has seen her stop. Her eyes have sought the ground; all along the floor her image may l>e seen, lengthened, but clear; almost with every step #he seems to tread upon herself. As she reaches the door she hesitates, and then lifts her hand as if with the intention of knocking. But again she pauses, nnd her hand drops to her side. As if more ner­ vous than she cares to own, she leans agninst the lintel of the door, as one might, desirous of support. Then the weakness vanishes; fastening her teeth upon her under lip she rouses herself, and tapping gently but distinctly upon one of the panels, awaits nn answer. Presently she gets it. "Come in," said Fabian's voice, clear, indifferent; and slowly turning the handle she enters the room. The lamps are alight; a fire is burning in the grate. At the upper table of this room, that is his study, his very sanctum sanctorum. Fabian is sitting with some papers and books before him. At brst, b^iflg uneonscious'of who h’s visitor is, he docs not lift his head, but now, seeing her, he rises quickly to his feet nnd says: "Your in accents of the most acute surprise. “Can I do something for you?" "Thunk you. no." Her little coW hands are nervously twined around the book she holds. Speech has eruellly deserted her; a sob has risen in her throat, and she is battling with it so fiercely that for a mo­ ment rhe can say nothing. Then she conquer*, and almost piteously she lay* the book upon the very edge of the table nearest her. and says with difficulty: "I brought you this. At breakfast this morning you said you had not read it; and to-night I knew you would l>c alone, and I thought—it is The Europeans'--it might help you to while away nn hour.” Her voice dies away, ami again silence follows it. She is really frightened now. She has met many men. has been the ac­ knowledged’ beauty of a London season, hit* had great homage laid at her feet: but no man has had the (rawer to make her heart weaken, until she met this mini, upon whom disgrace lies heavy. It ia Kis­ met! She feels cold now, nnd miserable, and humbled before him who should sure­ ly be bumbled before her. “It was kind of you to think of me,” say* Fabian, coldly; "too kind. But thare are some matter* of importance I must get through to-night, and I fear I shall not have time for fiction.” She take* up the book again, the little instrument that betrays his determina­ tion to accept no benefits nt her hands, and move* toward the door. Coming quickly up to her. that he may open the door, he stands between her and it, and stops her.

Ths other day the town was treated to the unique spectacle of a whipcrack­ ing content, with about 50 contestants. The whips were, iu class A, the .usual driver’s whips, and iu class B the «□called perpignun, much resembling the long whips used by the lumbermen in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin on their log aleighs. At least 30 different kinds of crack­ ing sounds can be made by these whips in the hands of an expert, and the prize**”were distributed to those who produced the most of these sounds in rapid succession. The judges laid con­ siderable emphasis in this odd con­ test on tbc kind of crackings which would stir a horse most without injur* Ing him. In conclusion, all pie drivers cracked their whips in chorus, which had the effect of ear-deafening can­ nonade. A driver by the name of Lertniasfon received the first prize.

It is only now that people arc becoming cognizant of the fact that they need not “kiss the book." Tlie clause iu the oaths act of 18S8, by which the Scotch form is admissible, was not inserted to meet a religious difficulty, but op medical grounds. Many persons have properly an objection to touching with their lips a volume-which has been thumbedi by scores of unknown per­ sons and.may contain the germ* of dis­ ease. “Rinsing the book” is really no essential part of tho old-fashioned oath, and the Scottish method, if uni­ versally adopted, would defeat the cun­ ning schemes of those who thick their conscience is quit of perjury when they contrive to kiss their thumb instead of the book, which is generally a soiled and cvil-«melling thing. A story is told of a Glasgow biilie on the occasion of a witness being sworn before him. “Hold up your right arm," commanded the lineal descendant of Bailie Nicol' Jarvle. “I cannu dae’t," said the wit- ; Ecas. “Why not?” “Got shot in that j alrm.” “Then hold up your left.” j “Ganna due that either—got shot in the I There have been in recent years sev­ eral instance* of sudden wealth.

They were heard laughing and singing until Jnte in the night by tlie neighbors, nnd all four were found dead thp next morning. A few days before nn actress in one of the minor theaters, who was supping with three female friends, told them that she meant to kill herself. 'They discussed the best means for accomplishing her purpose nnd decided on poison. She Went at once to a drug store and pro­ cured what she wanted, drank it in the presence of her friends without inter­ ference, nnd, after watching her con­ vulsions nnd seeing that the poison had done its work, they culled in a police­ man and told him what had happened.

Frightful Hunting Acct dent in Nashville’s Outskirts. One of the most horrible accidents which it has ever been our painful duty to chronicle occurred on Henry Feighner’s farm in the northern part of the village early last Friday morn­ ing, resulting in the instant death of Willie French, son ot Ed. French, an industrious mechanic of the village. ■Willie had started out bright and early that morning in company with Willie Gokay, another lad of about the same age, to hunt quail and rab­ bits. Each of the boys carried a double-barreled, muz?le-loading shot­ gun, the one young French had having been borrowed from Charles Spellman. They had only fairly started, and had gone into Henry Feighner’s lane, and had started to climb over the fence. Just how the accident occurred is not known and probably never will be. Young Gokay had climbed upon the fence a few 'feet away from French when he heard the discharge of the latter’s gun and looked around in time to see him fall to the ground. Ht-* jumped down and ran to him, and found that he was dead. He ran to an adjoining field and called Charles Spellmun, who was working there. Spellman left young Gokay to guard the body and came down town for assistance. A large crowd immedi­ ately went out to the scene of the acci­ dent and a coroner’s jury was sum­ moned by Justice Marble. It was found that both barrels of the gun had been discharged, the full charge entering the head on the right side about the jaw, antLcoming out at the top of the head. The entire top of the skull was blown out and the brains were scattered over the fence and ad­ jacent ground. Death was instantan­ eous and the poor boy passed from life to death so suddenly that there was no realization of the tragedy and no suffering. After viewing the remains and inves­ tigating the surroundings, the inquest was adjourned to Justice Marble’s office, where the jury comprised of W. E. Buel, Frank MicDerby, C. S. [Spellman, Len Strow, R. E. Williams and Alex Brown, rendered a verdict [of accidental death, in accordance I with the above fact. The body was taken care ot by sym­ pathizing friends and tender hands bore it to the sorrowing home, where only the fond mother and little brother awaited its coming, Mr. French being in Jackson, where he has been al work for some time. He was notified by telegrain^immediately after the accident, and arrived home on the 12.34 train the same day. The funeral occurred from the res­ idence on Sunday afternoon, Rev. E. E. Branch officiating, and was one of the saddest occasions of the kind which has ever been known here. Willie was the third one of a family of four children to puss away in but a little over two years. Nellie, the elder daughter, died on April 5th. 1895, and Flora, the younger daugh­ ter, died .on August 9th of the same year. All three of the deaths occurred on Friday, and all of Uiy funerals were on Sunday, Mr. Brunch being the officiating , clergyman on each occasion. William Ira French was born at Johnson's Creek, New York, and came with his parents to Nashville on April Ifith, 1888. He was 15 years, two months and seven days old at the time of his death. He was an unusual­ ly bright lad, a good scholar, and had a good standing in the tenth grade of our schools. He was a pop­ ular boy, beloved by his playmates and resjiecled by his elders for his gentlemanly behavior, and the entire community mourns his sad death and sympathizes with the bereaved par­ ents in their sorrow. TAXES. What it Costs Residents of Castle­ ton Township This Year. As the time for squaring up for the privilege of living in a free country, and also, to help your state and coun­ ty pay their last year’s debts and stock 'themselves up for the winter which is drawing nigh, it will be in­ teresting to Castleton readers to know what their share of the expenses will be, and how deep into their wallets they will have to go. In the first place the tqtaL arjiount of monev to be raised is $11,713.12 us against $11,910.39 in 1890,. Last year it required $2,154.20 Jo liquidate our proportion of the state taxes while, this year we will have to produce $2, 519..58. The county tax lust year. Hjas 82,400.10 as against $2,089.10 this year. The school tax last year was $4,721.09 while this year it is$4,743.77, a trifle more than last year. Last year there was raised for highway purposes- $1,5(li).0u while this ydar it only required $1,000.00. The dog population, how­ ever. is on the increase as there is $117.00 dog tax this year to $09.00 last year. The drain tax this year is $240. uo and a survey tax of $3.00 is also levied. Taking all in all the taxes this v^ar while nearly thht of last year will be in the treasurer’s strong box earlier than they were last, for the simple reason that farmers have had abund­ ant crops and have also been able to receive fair prices for what they have hud to sell, conseouently they, with but few exceptions, nave the money in their jeans lo square themselves with. The roll is completed and in the treasurer’s hands and if you see Clair Furniss coming after you with a tax receipt in one hand and a gun in the other, you had better “doke.” up, and thus be prepared to sleep soundly with a clear conscience for another A CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. An exchange of property has liven effected between the Baptist church and H. L. Walrath. Both pieces of projxirty are situated on Main street, just north of W. E. Buel’s store. The church has thereby secured far more commodious quarters than for­ merly, and will now be able to furnish a seat for all who come, which has not always been the case hitherto. The seating capacity of the new chapel will be double that of the old, ancL-will be I &bout the same as that of the other churches, the M. E. church alone ex­ cepted. Tljis is a decided step in ad­ vance for the little church, and we hope it may move on with increasing prospertr^---^ The farewell1 service was held in the old building last Sunday evening. The new * one has been undergoing buinc changes at tht- hands Of <-urpcnters and painters, and appropriate de­ dication services will be held |.here next Sunday morning: of which see more definite announcement in another column. AN ENDLESS CHAIN. _Deputy J__J, _______ Sheriff ... IL. ....... N. Wilson ___ of Ionia was in the village Wednesday serving summons on the old members of the Ionia Barry * Eaton mutual insurance company, suit having been brought against them by J. Warren Peake, receiver of the company. A large number ot suits have already been commenced’, and it is thought that by January first there will be five hundred pending in the Ionia circuit court. The company levied an assess­ ment of 827,000 of which not over $5,000 h^s been paid. Now the exjiense of the suits will have to be add­ ed. and those who pay will have to make up for those who don’t pay. and will have still another assessment to meet in the future. It looks like an endless chain. Some of our Castleton farmers inform us that they propose to fight it to the supreme court before they pay it.

BANKS BEST. IS SAVAGERY! i. RE IS THE RESULT LAURIER'S MISSION. $»M).0(W,0UO with out from Washington of late The United State* ha* delivered an ultiitnatum to Canada and her British spon­ sors concerning thu seal ffsiw-ries, trad a* a result of it Sir WHfrid Laurier's mis­ sion to the United State* ends in failure. The chances of any kind of an agreement being reached between the United States, Great Britain and Canada regarding the seals and the other disputed jjuestions are •o slight thnt the plenipotentiaries frank­ ly admit a settlement at this time is out of tbe question. The situation can be easily explained. When Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir Louis Davie* came to Washington they com­ menced to discuss reciprocity. Tbe Cana­ dian premier had suggested thnt the best concession the United State* could make would be the admission- on terms of re­ ciprocity of certain Canadian pnxlucft. and it is very clear that when be first came to Washington be was of the impres­ sion thnt tbe Washington Government would be willing to conclude a settlement with reciprocity forming part of it. Now, however, .what amounts practi­ cally to an ultimatum, although couch­ ed in the politest terms, has been deliver­ ed to the Canadian* by Gen. Foster, rep­ resenting this Government, and it has brought about a deadlock from which there appears to be no escape. Sir Wil­ frid has been informed that this Govern­ ment will not consider any other question until an agreement has been reached on Beriqg Sea. Our Government insists on tlie absolute stoppage of pelagic sealing for nt lenst one year. If Canada will agree to this the United, State* will then consider reciprocity and nny other ques­ tion which mny be brought up. Until tbe Bering Sea question is settled nothing else will be discussed. This is the Ameri­ can ultimatum. On her part Canada is equally firm. Sir Wilfrid refuses to settle the seal dispute until be know* what he gets for it. Can­ ada enjoys an impregnable position, and the Canadian authorities know it. They ray that if no agreement is reached Can­ ada will simply continue to carry on the •Baling business under the terms of the J_*ar's award, and of course the United States can do nothing to prevent it. It hns been-suggested that if Canada per­ sists in her obstinacy Congress will au­ thorise the annihilation of the seals. Sir Wilfrid hears this news without any dis­ play of emotion, and suggests that possi­ bly that course might inflict a greater loss on the United States than Canada. The differences between the two Gov­ ernments are so radical that a compro­ mise appears impoMibk1. "How can you compromise," Raid one of the negotiators, “when there is no middle ground? The American demand 5* no pelagic scaling, nnd that is insisted upon as a sine qua non. The Canadian rejoinder is refusal to yield this unless an equivalent is made the price of settlement. In the circum­ stance* an agreement, I regret to say. appears to me to be out of the question.” WORK OF A MOB.

Sime tbe beginning of the revolution va­ rious syndicates have been formed tor the purpose of terminating the war in Cuba and. incidentally gaining control, if not possession, of the Island. The last to make such an offer wax composed of about twenty of the most prominent mill­ ionaires of St. Louis and of the East. Gerrit H. Ten Brocck of St. Loui*. a lawyer of that city, went to New York in September last and as the syndicate’* representative sought the Cuban delega­ tion. The result of the otter of the syn­ dicate has just transpired. . Several .preliminary interviews were ar­ ranged by Mr. Ten Bjoeck and other* with Benjamin Guerra, tlie treasurer of the Cuban delegation, hut owing to the fact that he was suddenly called to Mex­ ico matters were not brought to a final issue until a few days ago. The tehninatioo of the whole matter In a nutshell is that the Cuban provisional government, acting through their representatives in New York, hns refused a loan of $200,­ 000,000 with which to buy their freedom from Spaing George Rens, a war corre­ spondent, acted as the active agent be­ tween the syndicate and the Cuban dele’gation. The syndicate proposed to loan the Cuban provisional government $200,­ 006,000 or any nmoqnt in excess of that necessary to purchase their independence from Spain without further fighting. Bonds of the republic of Cuba were to l>e accepted as security for the amount and at very near their face value. Six per cent intereat was to be asked. ■ Much to the surprise nnd disappoint­ ment of the syndicate the loan was re­ spectfully declined. In answer Mr. Guer­ ra stated thnt although the temptation to accept any terms which would bring to nn end the sufferings of the women and children who were starving through Spain’s policy of concentration was very great, still the leaders of the revolution, who were responsible for the future of Cuba, could not consent to raddle them­ selves nnd their posterity with-a debb-that, even with the blessings of independence, would sink them into the slough of finan­ cial slavery.

It has borne that name for more than a quarter of a century. The Circumstance* through which the title was bestowed were as follows: George Holland, the actor, nnd father of E. M. nnd Joseph Holland, died on Dec. 20, 1870. In arranging for the fun­ eral, Joseph Jefferson and others called upon Rev. Mr. Sabine, pastor of n fash­ ionable church in Madison avenue, and asked him if he would conduct tlie fun­ eral service*. Ascertaining that Holland wns an actor. Rev. Mr. Sabine declined to conduct the funeral service, nnd when asked by Mr. Jefferson nwl his compan­ ions if be could tell them where they could get a clergyman, he remarked that “there was a little church around the corner” where they do such thing*. The dead ac­ tor’s friend* went to that little church nnd were received with kindly consideration by Rev. Dr. Houghton. This incident formed a live theme for talk nil over the country, and it establisheil "The Little Church Around the Corner" firmly in the nffeetiou* of the public, as well ns of the theatrical proferadoiu Ex-Prewdeirt Cleveland raid to a repre­ sentative of the press: "The number nnd heartiness of the congratulations we have received on the birth of our ram are so gratefully appreciated thnt I wish you would convey, through the Aiwociatcd Prera, our thanks to nil the kind peojde who have thus giv«m proof of their f ri<indline**.” Sudden death balked the plan* of eccen­ tric Mtuy Clark, tbe eeptuagenarian, who lived in squalid room* in New York.

THEIR The official report of the cumrap In regard to the bimetallic proposals, of the United State* monetary cocnn>i«*Ioa to the Government of Great Britain, to­ gether'with the ret»ort of the proceeding* at the conference of the British premier, the secretary of wtate for India, the first lord ot lite treasnry and the chancellor of the exchequer, with the French ambas­ sador and our coctmiiraioner*, ha* reach­ ed thl* country. It fully confirm* the reports cabled to America Oct. 21 and 22. Tbe negotiation*'fell through, notwkhManding tbe expressed willicgnc** of the French Government to open Ita mint*, owing to the rejection by the British Gov­ ernment of the proposition to again open the Indian mint* to tbe free coinage of sil­ ver. None of the other proposition* were replied to, because that one, the most Important concession requested of Great Britain, could not be acceded to. • The Government of Great Britain, m making her answer, deferred to the wishes .of the Government of India, to which the proi*o*oi was referred, and tbe reply of the Government of India, therefore. i« the most important communication in the cor­ respondence. It i* a lengthy document, in which the advantages pro and coo to India nre argued and a very strong case from their standpoint hi made out in favor of the rejection of the proposal. The disturbance of value* in India, with the attendant paralyais of trade, nt least temporarily, tbe fnll of silver price* in India, concurrently with the increase of gold price* in- Europe and America, etc., are advanced, but the moat potent reason urged ngninst the proposition is that the burden of fitilure, if failure should come from the experiment for the re-establishment of bimetallism by France and the United State*, must in­ evitably fnll on India. .. Both the United States and France, the reply urge#, with their supply of gold could to a greater or tera extent protect themselves it the experiment did not suc­ ceed. In other word*, the Indian Gov­ ernment, a* n preliminary proposition, de­ clared that it could not risk the success ot the suggOKted inFasures. ■ This definite nnd absolute rejection of the proposal was fully set forth in the ca­ ble reports of tbe correspondence, but the document contains a reservation which would seem to indicate thnt if the scope of the proposed exirariment were suffickratly broadened India might be willing to-re­ consider her refusal. General Goes Into the Subject Bx- The first annual report of PosunosttM General James A. Gary to the President has been made public. It* feature is th? strong advocacy of porta l*»avlng* deposi­ tories, a scheme over which Postmaster General Gary has worked for many months in the formulation of plans to pre­ sent to the President and Congress. He says the time is ripe for their establish­ ment, and that the adoption of a weilarganixed system would confer a great boon upon a large number ot i>eople, and ultimately be of inestimable benefit to the whole country. . Tbe estimates of the revenue and ex­ penditures for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1899, are: Total portal revenue for 1897, $82,(105,462.73; add 5 per cent, $4.­ 133.273.13; estimated revenue for 1899. $80,798,735.80; add 7 per cent. $6,075,­ 911.51; total eBtimnted revenue for 1899, $92,874,047.37; estimated expenditures for 1898, $98,922,700 • deficiency for 1899 es­ timated $0,048,112.03. • The increase of the postal deficit for 1807, Mr. Gary says. Is largely a reflec­ tion of the depressed business conditions which prevailed all over,the United States during the first .three quarters of that period. There has been no extravagance of expenditure save that obligated by law.. Reiterating the Injustice, inflicted both upon the postal revenues and the people by second-ciass mail matter carriage reg­ ulations, tbe enactment by Congress of some measure to remedy the wrong, sim­ ilarly pointed out by past Postmasters General, is urged. As to this the Post­ master General says: “If this were done, there would be nn end to postal deficits, and the service could bc'-enlarged and popularised by a broad extension ot free delivery, without infringement upon the general resources of the Government, and eventually result in the much-desired reduction of letter postage to 1 cent per ounce." No method of perfecting the organisa­ tion of tire postal service has' proved more effective than the consolidation of post­ office*. Legislative restrictions on its de­ velopment nre to be regretted and a re­ peal of tbe five-mile Hunt consolidation measure in the 1896 postal appropriation bill is recommended. The experimental rural free delivery has been generously appreciated; few ex­ penditures have conferred greater ben­ efits In proportion, nnd It has unquestion­ ably proved a potent factor in attaining whrft should be a chief aim of government, the granting of the best possible facilities to the fanning class. The report reviews in detail the opera­ tion* of the various branches of the de­ partment. The portion on the subject of postal ravings in brief follows: “Many millions of dollars is undoubted­ ly secreted by people who have little or no confidence in ordinary securities nnd monetary Institutions organised by private citizens. It is dead capital, but if its owners could be inspired with abso­ lute confidence in the security of nn in­ vestment it is altogether probable thnt the bulk of this fund would find its way into the channels of trade ami commerce. If the Government undertook this task the service would undoubtedly be gladly accepted by the people. Their faith in the Government is unbounded. Their little savings, which separately could hardly be put out nt interest, would amount, in the'nggreepte, to a sum that couldbe ihvc*te<r to tneir nd van tag*. It would tend to cultivate thrift in a large class, realizing tbe advantage of depos­ iting with the Government instead of wastefully and uselessly expending; it would tend to better relationship; bring into closer relationship the Govern­ ment and its citizens, and develop practi­ cal and enduring patriotism. This growth of patriotic rantiment and good citizen­ ship constitutes a powerful appeal to statesmanship to make a way for these beneficent consequences. HAVE FAITH IN WEATHERS Depositor* Believe JIc Will Mukc Good Their Dorac*. ; John U. Weathers, president of the fail­ ed bank* at Leavenworth, Marengo awl English. Ind., who has been in hiding in. Louisville, Ky., bimJ New Albany, Ind., waiting for the excitement caused by the bunk failure* to die out, returned to Cory­ don and made n statement anent the fail­ ures to the committee of depositors .who held a meeting at Corydon lo devise mean* for n settlement. The Ktntemeot of Mr. Weathers is to this effect: While nt Corydon recently attending to his law practice Mr. Weather* received a. telephone message from Ix-aven worth to come there at once, ns there was some­ thing wrong with the bank. He imme­ diately left Corydon and went to Leaven­ worth, where he and Nolan Barnett, the cashier of the Ix'nvj-nworth bank, exam­ ined the institution's Iraoks and found that tbe fund* of the same were at a low' ebb. It was decided by them to dose tbe three banks at once. President Weath­ ers was advised by friends to leave the town until the sensation abated, which he did. He, however, thought he might yet bridge over matters, and took some col-, lateral with him. bnt after deliberation he decided it would be better to return the same nnd hnve an assignee appointed. He thereupon mnde a* genera! assignment, with R. C. Arqokl of Ix-avenworth as as­ signee. Mr. Weathers said further that all he wanted was n rearamobie support for his wife nnd child while the settlement was in progress, nnd thnt he would sjrand one year without compensation to facilitate matters, to the end that dollar for dollar be paid. Mrs. Willett, wife of the missing cash­ ier, is almost .prostrated with grief, but is not dying, as hns been reported. The people of the various communities*' in which the banks nre situated nre much re­ lieved nnd express confidence in Weath­ ers' ability to settle up matters in a sat­ isfactory manner. The consensus of opin­ ion is thnt Weathers wa* the victim of Cashier Willett, nnd is himseK innocent of any wrong doing. Nothing has been heard from Willett. Telegraphic advices from English, Ind., are to the effect (bnt Willett’s kinfolk are willing to unite with his grandmother to donate sufficient funds to cover his short­ age, provided he proves himself not guil­ ty of nny intentional wrong doing and will return. His grandmother will donate $50,600 and other relatives have pledged themselves for $75,000 additional. Cash­ ier Rothrock <>f the Huntingburg bank, it is said, hns pledged himself to stand by both Weathers and Willett. ’The proposition i* nn accomplished fact in nearly every country in Europe, in the British depeDdeucits of both hemi­ spheres, nnd even in Hawaii. In Great Britain 7,000,000 depositors hnve upward of $550,000,000 in savings accumulated during-thirty-five years, nnd in ten years fewer than 10,000 Hawaiian depooitors saved nearly $1,000,000. Deirasit* in Can­ ada in twenty year* exceeded $22,000,000. These vast accun&iitttons have been made with the least possible loss to the Gov­ ernments, which guarantee their repay­ ment, nnd with a minimum of cost to the I millions of depooitors. More than a thou­ sand postal saving* accounts in JCuropean offices are held by minors ami over twothirds by the most humble callings. It is essentially tbe bank of thia class. Postal savings would not conflict with those sav­ ings banks, but would encourage savings rather than accumulations. The conver­ sion of money order offices into savings depositories would soon afford indefinitely Three arrests were mnde in the defunct more facility for receiving interest-bear­ ing deposit* than the intere«t-paying People’s Savings Bank case at lensing, banks do now.

The business woman always has a number of receipted bills and a quan­ tity of cashin her pocketbook, while the mother of a fanlily usually has many Unreceipted bills, little cosh, aud tho Bides bursting with samples and bar­ gain advertisements. The average young lady bus a favorite poem stowed away in a corner and invariably a sou­ venir of something bordering on tlie su­ perstitious. For instance, while the writer was in a State street jeweler’s store the other morning a tortoise shell portmonnaie was found on the floor. It contained 85 cents, and, far back in a secret pocket, a poem entitled "Soul for Soul.” It began: Oh. eyes that pierce me through and through . And draw my very soul away. Tour sunshine may not fill my life Nor turn my darkness Into day. Next to that piece of sentiment was a small card with tbe young lady’s name and weight printed upon it On the reverse side of the card was a date with the words: "If the sun shines three days after this, you will have good luck for nine days.” About noon­ time, a beautiful little brunette, all anxiety and blushes, hurried in to claim the purse.

Tho wearing- of long- hair in Corea is indicative of social disgrace or mental humility and marks either thepenitent or the outcast. The custom ofi wearing the hair long by these classes has aroused, theconuuercial spirit in certain speculative natives, and they have set, about the labor of supplying the world with hair shaved from the heads of their tellow-coun trym e n. When the Mongolian, faker desires to punish himself for a sin—real or fan­ cied, it makes no difference—he allows his hair an d. noils to grow. In the same countries the criminal is obliged to let his hair grow, because the true oriental despises long hair, and the wearing of it is a certain sign of peni­ tence or a punishment. Now, of recent years ths Coreans. have learned to put these extraordinary­ growths of hair—that is, after they arebut off—to some commercial use. They have established factories for the man-: ufacture of mats, horse blankets, satin die blankets, halters and even whole sets of harness, all from human hair. A carpet factory, in. which carpet is, mnde from human hair, is also located at Seoul. In this connection it may be apropos to mention the. famous “prayer rug” of the shah of Persia.

SAGINAW'S TURN. cling Man in the Valley, Talks on a SUBJECT OF PUBLIC INTEREST. Saginaw Mich.- Mr. A. G. Ellis, ol this dty, is probably lhe best known travel­ ing man in Michigan. Nearly every one in Saginaw Valley knows ‘‘Bert” Eifis. For twenty years be has carried his samples and good nature to his many merchant friends, who are alwavs glad to sec him. Bui Mr. Ellis had trouble tbe same as other people.

Jialr a silky. gtosay appear- The tillage resident soon comes to find the wheelbarrow a very indispen­ sable article. The cut. which Is from the American Agriculturist, shows how one village resident extemporlxes a hay rack out of his wheelbarrow when desiring to get Into the stable two or three hundred pounds or so of hay. Narrow strips of board are lightly tack­ ed to the surface, as shown, and tbe hay cart Is ready. It will surprise any­ one to see the large quantity of hay that one can thus easily nnd quickly wheel away from his grounds to the force changes in methods that would not occur but for the failure to seenre profit where no dimcully previously existed. In England, w;here the system of farm­ ing is on the flitensive ptan, dairymen are abandoning juurture. They are dis­ covering that more food can be grown on the pasture laud than can be se­ cured from the grass nnd hay, and that by a succession of green crop* they can derive better fooda than cab Im» had from grass. There is more labor required, but the products are larger and tbe profits greatly Increased. Root crops and soiling enable the English to pay high rents.' and the method* they adopt are the result of years of ex­ perience. In this country dairymen will find it to their advantage to grow green food ns well ns grana, and utilize roots us well also, as n protection against drought and unfavorable condi­ tions. To meet low prices for farm products the crops on every acre must be larger aud also utilized in the best manner. Storing Root* in Pit*. The proper way to ke^p all roots Is In ont-of-door pita, nnd as much as possi­ ble excluding air from them. Some kinds of roots, as turnips, rutabagas and carrots, do not easily freeze, but all are Injured by exposure to the air. When we grow potatoes largely we al­ ways stored most of whnt were not sold In the fall In pits. Tills "is especial­ K.WLAROKn WHKF.I.BARHOW. ■table. This arrangement Is also use­ ful for getting in fodder corn from the garden. Let the stalks first be piled cross-way* of the bottom strips. Then the other way. Fupplcmcnting Ensilage. There are all kinds of ensilage, vary­ ing, of course, with.the material put into the silo. There Im no magic in the silo to add to tbe nutrition of what Is put into it, though it may add to the nutritive .value l>y making it more di­ gestible. Much of the ensilage from corn fodder Is deficient in nitrogenous forms of nutrition. ' It needs to be sup­ plemented. not necessarily with richer ensilage, but preferably with dry food. Instead of trying to ensilage clover, which Is difficult because It heats so rapidly, it Is better to cure It and feed three to five pounds of good clover hay to al! animals whose main ration Is corn ensilage. If clover cannot be had, use wheat bran or oats. Both linseed rnectl and cotton-seed meal may be given with good results to animals fed on corn ensilage. If possible some straw or hay should lie given with these to Increase their bulk and pre­ ’ vent them from compacting in the stoinaeh. Corn is not a good supple­ ment to corn ensilage, ns it also Is no largely carlx>naceous. But corn and oats ground together and fed with cut hay or stray make a very good supple­ mentary feed. For Apple Choking. «. The treatment for apple choking outlined and Illustrated Is said by a corrmqioDdent of " the Ose.nge Judd Farmer to prove ef­ fectual* and never cause Injury.

Turn the handle down under the jaw.^hlch will open the mouth, niul the cow can then be held without further trouble. If the apple Is not far down, it can be removed with the baud. The cow cannot bite or throw her head around If the handle Is held firm. If the apple is too far down to remove by hand, take n rublier hose. Fig. 2, start through the ring nnd push the apple clear down Into the stomach. • Securing Early Lettuce. The outdoor crop of spring lettuce may In* made several days earlier by sowing the seed in some sheltered place late in fall. It la not likely that If sown now auy of the lettuce will come up this fall. A few leaves scattered over the bed will keep the seed from injury, and It will sprout and grow with the first warm weather In spring. Almost every one has seen self-sown lettuce on the bed* where It was grown and went to seed the previous year. It is much mo.e forward than aprlng-aown lettuce can be had iu tbe same locality. Watering Is tbe most Important oper­ ation In connection with plant growth. •Plants grown In rooms are benefited by an immersion In water at tbe same temperature as the room for about ten minute* once a week. Water should ■never be given before needed, neither should plants be allowed to become surface-watered. Rain-water Is the ilx»t for all purposes. Tbe best time •fdr watering plants during summer Is !the evening, but in Winter morning should be chosen for the work. ' Tbe curry-comb is an instrument of torture that should be Ijantahed. In ou It ta a large wisp of straw, twitted tight, tied Into a knot, and pounded ly imiKMla.nt for the potatoes required for. seed.

Care of Grain Qrill*,_. The grain drill Is quite too expensive to be allowed to remain out of doors ex­ posed to the weather when not In use. It should be carefully cleaned from all dirt, and those especially with a fertil­ izer attachment should be scoured to take off the rust from use, and then, coated with grease to prevent the air from getting to the metal. Most grain drills rust out rather than wear out. They are used, even where fall grain is sown, only a few days In the spring and fall, and ought to last a lifetime with few repairs. If they are properly sheltered when not lu use. Tbe cow which Is bearing young or giving milk is not naturally' a frisky animal. \Ve never believed that she re­ quired much . exercise. Moat timee when we have turned them out while cleaning their stables. Instead of run­ ning about, tbe cow will be seen cud­ dled close to the stack to shelter herself from cold winds. It Is still worse when rain Is falling. The cow then needs shelter rather thnn exercise, and can keep warm standing still Ln her stable better than she can while water is be­ ing evaporated from her skin.—Ameri­ can Cultivator. Feed in- for Milk. Feeding the cows toBMnxnsn-ihc flow of milk should not entail additional ex­ pense if the fanner uses judgment in proportioning tbe various foods. If grain, linseed meal and other concen­ trated foods are given in wxcess. the di­ gestion may be impaired, and If hay In mostly given the animals will be com­ pelled to eat large quantities of it to se­ cure the desired nourishment. Foods should consist of both concentrated and bulky suMtances, regulating the pro­ portions according to the conditions nnd circumstances. Fall-Planted Tree*. As fall rains are coming on some care Is needed to trees lately planted. Very often the earth used to fill around the trunk sinks away, leaving a hollow, which carries the rains down among the roots. As these in newly planted trees are dormant during winter, this water does them much injury. It Is al­ ways best to draw up earth around newly planted trees. This is a protec­ tion against attacks of mice if the earth is closely compacted. The earth should be pulled away from the trees in tbe spring. Grain Cheaper than Hay. If given with enough hay or straw or cornstalks to distend the stomach, grain Is lietter feed than hay, because more anally digested. In the coarser fodder so much of the nutrition goes to sustain animal heat or tbe processes of digestion, that comparatively little In left to make flesh or milk or fats. The knowledge that some grain with bay makes cheaper nutrition is not half so widely extended ns It ought to be. If it were, there would be n better demand for grain, and It would sell at better prices. Need Little PruningBoth lilac and welgela bear their flowers on their young or green shoots, ami if pruned in autumn or winter the bloom will be much reduced. These planta need very little pruning, as a rule, beyond cutting away any dead wood er unnecessary branches, but If at any time it should be thought desir­ able to shorten or bend back the branches, the proper time for doing it is Immediately after the plants have finished their blooming. Melt In an Iron vessel fifty parts of rosin, and stir In fifty parts of chalk, fifty ports of fine sand and six parts of linseed oil. When well mixed, add on* part of copper oxide, and again care­ fully mix. Apply to the wood hot with a stiff brush. Wound Proves Fatal—Fell on Butcher's Knife—Valuable Gift.

Liebhauser’s drug store, has been fitted with a long distance phone, COURSE. which is the newest and most perfect We take pleasure in presenting to the citizens of Naahvllle and vicinity the most attractive lecture course that has ever been placed before them. We have gone to considerable ex­ pense in securing talent second to none in the state. There will be five numbers in the course instead of four as last Beason. The price, however, will remain at the old figure, fifty cents for course tiekets. The course will be far more attractive than; last year, fo? white we had an excellent entertainment all the way through, this season we have two men of national reputation. Dr.“ J. M. Thoburo of Detroit, and J. H. Potts, D. D., editor of the Michigan Christian Advocate. Dr. J. M. Thoburn was for many years a religious leader in India and returned to this country for climatic reasons. He is pastor of the largest Methodist church in the state and an orator of eminence. He will give tiie first number of the course December Sth, the subject being, “The Islands of India Beyond the Ganges.” In this lecture the doctor gives from per­ sonal observations, a graphic de­ scription of the people of India, their manners, customs, religion, politics, supentiuona—in short, everything of interest about such a theme which a sjieaker could give in from an hour and a half to two hours. We sincere­ ly hope that the young people and especially.students will near Dr. Thoburo’fl lecture, as they will get great profit from the style and literary fin­ ish characteristic of this distinguished man. The second number in the course will be an elocutionary entertainment to be given by Miss Cora Blanchard of Evanston, HI. Miss -Blanchard comes very highly recommended as second to none in recitation and elo­ cution. She received her training under direction of Prof. Cummock of Northwestern University, who as an instructor in elocution and oratory is conceded .to be the equal of any in America. Miss Blanchard is conced­ ed to lie a natural and gifted reciter. She will appear December 13th. Don’t fail to hear her. The third numlx-r in the course will befriven by Rev. W. H. B. Urch, for­ merly and for several years amissionary in Malaysia. Mr. Urch is a man of splendid talent and has traveled in Europe and Asia. He has had excep­ tional advantages and will give his lecture on "Naples, and the Buried Cities of Italy.” He will appear Jan­ uary 25th, ’98. The fourth number will be given by J. H. Potts, D. 1).. of Detroit. His subject will be "Man and His Su­ preme Mission.” Dr. Potts is abso­ lutely deaf—has not heard a sound in over’twenty years as a result of the noise of artilery in the ’60s. Yet he is one of tile smoothest and <dearest speakers on the platform today. He has won a national reputation as a debater and editor. His date is Feb­ ruary 25th. The last number in the course will be given by F. L. Thompson, D. D.. of Lansing. Dr. Thompson is a clear His thinker, a charming speaker. subject is “Youth Yesterday and Tomorrow,’’ a theme which he will discuss in a princely manners­ His Hate is March 8th. The price of a course ticket is 51) cents: single ad­ mission io any one lecture 21) cents. instrument of its kind, and a hand­ some new sound-proof booth has been {»ut in. Now you sit down while talkng. in a comfortable-chair,talk into a desk transmitter, and rest your arm easily upon the desk while you hold the receiver to your ear. The new metallic circuit shuts out all outside noises, such as street cars, other con­ versations, Qtc., and no matter to what distance you are talking, the or­ dinary tone of conversation is all that is necessary. You can plainly hear the ticking of a watch held to the transmitter at Detroit. In addition to all these benefits of the new circuit, the range of offices which may be connected has been greatly enlarged, so that we may now talk with all important towns east as far as New York or even the New England states, south nearly to the Gulf and west to the Rockies. The charges will not be^raised for the new service, but in fact have in many cases been lowered. The new service is greatly appreci­ ated by Nashville people and makes the Michigan Telephone Co. more popular than ever. TROUBLE BREWING. An important suit, perhaps several of them, will' be on the calendar of the next term of circuit court, concerning the winding up of the affairs of the Woodland Holler Mill Co.> limit­ ed. The company’ got into financial difficulties before’ it disposed of the mill property, and notes Jor about $6,000, signed by the officers of the company and endorsed severally by the stockholders of the company were Elven to the Farmers & Merchants auk of this village Rs security for a loai^. There is now a question as to the amount-of liability of individual stockholders. About a month ago Mr. Hough, cashier of the bank, brought suit to collect the notes. This week a counter suit was brought against Mr.. Hough, who is also a stockholder of the mill company, by the officers of the company, to decide upon Mr. Hough’s liability. The eases will probably be contested for all there is in them, And some inter­ esting developments may be looked for. CHURCH DEDICATION The new Free Methodist church at Figure Eight, three miles north of Hastings and located on the south­ east corner of the .farm owned by George Cappy, will be dedicated in connection with a quarterly meeting on Sunday, December 12, at 10:30 a. m. General Superintendent Rev. B. R. Jones of Chicago will have charge, being assisted by District Elder Rev. H. D. F. Goffin. Services will com­ mence Friday evening, December 10. and contine until Sunday evening as follows: Preaching each evening at 7 o’clock and on-Saturday at 10.30 a. m., love feast Sunday morning at 9:30, followed by preaching and dedicatorial services. 'Hie sacrament of the J .< «r<iaumter will be held in connec­ tion with the evening services. A general rally from each point on the circuit is expected and several from abroad are exjiected. All are cordially invited to attend NEW QUARTERS. A GROWING INSTITUTION. A News reporter visited the poul­ try yards of C. E. Roscoe on Reed street, to look over the new building I which Mr. Roscoe has just erected. He found a busy institution, where two men are employed in slaughtering and packing poultry, white six women are employed in picking. The new building, just completed, is 16x40 feel, two stories high, with an addition 12x20 one story. The new building is used, the first floor for keeping stock ready for killing, and the second -floor for storage. The first floor is divided into several com­ partments. all connected with a drive­ way to the slaughtering pen, where the fowls are hung tin on poles in a string, ready for sticking. A huge cauldron for scalding is near by and the fowls are taken from here by the women and picked, then hung up to dry before packing. The buildings used for this purpose and for the ice house arc Uixfki. so that altogether the buildings cover considerable ground. Mr. Roscoe started several years ago buying and shipping in a small way, and the business has grown steadily until it has assumed consider­ able magnitude. LasHyear Mr. Ros­ coe shipped 55,000 head, but this year his business will probably reach at le'ast double that number. Mr. Roscoe informs us that for sev­ eral months past his pay roll alone has amounted to more than $25 per week, for killing, picking and pack­ ing. Nashville has a number of hustling industries in this and other lines, all of which seem to be doing a good bus­ iness and bid fair to keep pace with the general growth of the town. The more the merrier. They all help to build up the village and increase its material wealth and prosperity. THE METALLIC CIRCUIT. Nashville Now Has a Long-Distance Office, with a Big Range. The Michigan Telephone company, which is the new name for the pioneer Michigan §4*11 company, is rapidly making grand improvements in ite service and enlarging its field. Re­ cently they have had a force of men working through this part of the state stringing another wire, which has this week been connected and thus estab­ lishes a metallic circuit, doing away with ground wires and making a vast Improvement in the service.

Zerh Emery, living two miles south of the- village, was In town yesterday and at about time for the evening train was driving his team, hitched to a lumber wagon, homeward. As he was near the ele­ vator Emery Parody, who was stand­ ing near, saw the train approaching and tried to warn Zern of his danger, but evidently he could not understand him,'and as the rattle of Jhe wagon coupled with Zero's deafness made it impossible for him to hear the ap­ proaching train, which by that time was nearly at the crossing, Parody ran out in the road and took the horses by'the bits, turning them around just in time to keep them from colliding with the train. In turning, the wagon came in contact with the baggage car and was overturned, throwing Zorn out, The team started to run up Main street, but were caught in front of S. J. Truman’s store. Zern finally picked .himself up -and after finding "that he was not injured beyond a few slight bruises, gathered his team and wagon together togethc. and started for home, congratulating himself that he lives to tell how it was done. . - A large congregation was present at the dedication of the Baptist chap­ el last Sunday morning. Dr. Jamie­ son, who was unnonneed last week to take charge of the services, having telephoned at a lute date that he could not be present, the work de­ volved upon the pastor, who, after preaching a short sermon appropri­ ate to the occasion, stated that some funds were needed, and proceeded to take subscriptions. In twenty min­ utes pledges had been made amount­ ing to $200. All then joined in sing­ ing the doxology, after which the formal dedication took place. Mrs. Cha*.

TheMeKanlaas entertainment the opera house last Monday night was very slimly attended, but was so highly appreciated by those who were there that they prevailed upon the company to return Wednesday eve­ ning, when the audience was much larger, though not even then what the merits at the entertainment deserved. Mr. McKanlass is a great artist on the violin, and is also an exceptionally clever entertainer in other ways. Mr. Randolph's work at the piano was most surprising for a lad of his years, and his dancing would be a revelation to many so-called professionals. We hope if the company sees fit to return to Nashville again they may have a crowded house. They are worthy of it. NUMBER 14 Bert Pember spent Thanksgiving with his grandmother in Vermontville.

Dun & Co.’s Weekly Review of Trade says: "The henry exports of wheat, with the renewed advance in price, is the most interesting and important feature of the week’s events. Since August, when the extent of the foreign deficiency be­ came realised, exports have been larger titan in corrciqwnding weeks of any pre­ vious year. The cotton exports also have become very heavy, and the outgo of corn falls but little below last year’s unprece­ dented record, whi’e in exports of manu­ facturing products, especially machinery, all records for the season have lieen sur­ passed. -Meanwhile imports are running hehind last year’s at New York nearly $2,(KMt,(MX) this month, sn that another ex­ cess of exports over imports amounting to about $«t».(N)0.000 for the month is probable.

Advices recently received from a eorresjMiudrnt now with the insurgents in the Camagttey district give details of the Cnlinu assembly recently held. This dis­ patch, which has been en route since Nov. 1, says the assembly convened Sept. 2, but owing; io the absence of several dele gates from western provinces it was con­ tinued from day to day until all the memberu were present. Senor Mendez Cnpote presided over the deliberations. Twenty-two of the twenty-four delegates presented credentials from the various districts throughout the island.

Secretary of the Nnvy Long, in hi* re- , port to the President, declares that the prime need of the naval servics! is not new ships, but new docks, wharves, munitions, men and facilities. He says lu part: “Hitherto for more than a decade the increase of the navy has very properly been In the line of new ships and wisely so, us this has hitherto been the vital need. In the opinion of the department the time has now come when that increase should be on ndjunctory liqes in order to bring our naval facilities up to the sakne lirte of advance. The principal need of to-day is that of sufficient docks, of which there is a deplorable lack; of adequate supplies of the munitions of war, which should never be at the hand-to-mouth stage; of nn c<|uipment of our navy yards equal to the demand upon them of the in­ creased number of our ship*, ami of axi enlarged con** of officer* and men to do the work. "Addition* to our fleet may lx- hereafter necessary to bring^it in ca*e of an emer­ gency to nn extent commensurate with the growing necessities <>( the country, es­ pecially in view of the development of Alaska, which is n eoutim-nt in itself, nnd of the possible annexation of island* in the Pacific. On tile other hand. It i« a mistake not to recognize that our naval I»owcr hns more than doubled within the last few years; that the case of any emer­ gency beyond our present rwources i« the very rare raw: that until it come* ships will lie gradually taken <»nt of commission and put into reserve^ in order to reduce running expenses, and that a due regard is necessary to the relation of the national expenditures to the iratiunnl revenue*. "The department therefore recommend* that the authorization of new ships by the coming Congress be limited to onr imttleship for the Pacific const, where, after the five now .under construction are uumpleled. there will be only two. while ou the Atlantic coast there will be seven; nnd also to a few torpedo boat* and torpedo­ boat destroyer*, both vf which are <-omparatively of little cost, nud more of which are desirable in ordbr to bring this swift, mobile and hqndlly effectivi? arm of the service up to ft* place in the gvtrera! scheme for const defense. "The present effective fighting force of the navy consists of four battleship* of the first class, two battleships of the sec­ ond ria**, two armored cruisers, sixteen cruisers, fifteen gunboats, double tur­ n-led monitors, one rant, 6ao dynamite gnnbont, one dispatch boat, one transport steamer and five torpedo Inuits. There are under construction nre battleship* of the firrt class, sixteen torpedo boats hud one submarine l>ont. Tliere are sixty-four other naval vmSel*. including those used as training, receiving ami naval-reserve *Jti|M. tugs, disused single turreted moni­ tors nud some unserviceable craft. "There is, further, the auxiliary fleet. This conahit*, first, cf more than twenty, subsidized steamers which comply with the requirement* of the pcstn! act of March 3. 1891. with regard to their adap­ tability to naval service, nnd to an arma­ ment of main nnd secondary batteries; second, of a very much greater uumln-r of large merchant marine steniuer*. which can be availed of at any time of need.

And the- cares already borne are only an intimation of those that come after his inaugural address has been read and he has taken possession of the executive mansion.

He must many times a-day ask himself the question if this or that sug­ gested action is in keeping with the dig­ nity of the President of the United States. Personal impulses by .the thousand must be suppressed. The man must to a great extent make himself over.

It is an office which demands that a man shall sink himself and become almost another entity. The wonder is that so many of onr Presidents have retained their jawsonal characteristics- and habits, their na­ turalness and simplicity, while in office. All the tendency is In the other direction. Unconsciously to the man himself he is drawn out of himself. He ceases to be as his friends knew him, ns he knew him­ self. as he takes on n new consciousness. He is “the President." This fact he is never permitted to forget. It follows him everywhere. It bobs up impertinent­ ly at the simplest dinner in a country house as. well ns in n cabinet meeting nt the executive mansion. . In monarchical countries sovereigns art* reared. They nre to the manner born. From infancy they nre trained, to be rul­ ers. They approach gradually, step by step, the station which we thrust a man into almost without warning. It is a fact that the greatest, most stupendous tran­ sition which comes to any man in the world is to him whom the people of the United States take from his law office or his home or his modest official station and thrust into the presidential chair. A dis­ tinguished foreigner said not long ago: “It is amazing that you get as good Pres­ idents aa you do. and it is a remarkable thing that your public men are adaptable enough to rise so easily and naturally to the heights of your sovereignty. But they cannot be happy.” This foreigner ■was right. Probably not one President in ten is happy while in office. A Weight of Care. Aa if this’were not enough, onr political system makes the President the center of party activity, of personal ambition and desire. Not only must all appoint­ ments be made theoretically by him ns chief executive, but actually by him in person. Before making them he must ■ee and talk with all the interested per­ sons, do matter how great their’ number. If they come again and again, for the avowed purpoae of •'bringing the pressure of persistency,” they must be aeon and mollified. Crossroads politicians must have access to the ruler of the American people about seven-by-nine postoffices. The President must keep open bouse to all the Senators and Representatives in Congress, of whom thBre are something like 450, and the inert of whom are profeMrioDul office brokers. Through nil this the President fat expected to maintain his dignity and his equanimity, keep his pstk'Dce nnruffied and his sense of jus­ tice and of the fitness of things unwnrped. During the whole four years of his adminirtratiou he bears upon his shoul­ ders the responsibilities and cares of the nation, iu the ease of iuu«i Presidents there is no cessation of toil. The cues of the chief executive are rarely dropped when he leaves the office. They accom­ pany him to the social function, they are his constant companion as be attempts to enjoy n few days’ outing, they ore hw . most intimate associates even in his fam­ ily circle, and they even follow him into his bed chamber and there minister to the discomforts of his slumber. Americans nre not always a consider­ ate jieople, but it is doubtful If they ever had a better chance to «e themselves as they really are than In the book which ex-Preoident Benjamin Harrison has Just published, in which he devotes a chapter to telling of his own experiences in the four years he jinssed in the White House. There seems to be no danger of the chief magistrate of the nation forgetting that he is, in the most literal sense .<f the words.-* public servant, paid by tbe pub­ lic for the public to enjoy at its leisure. Discing the first three Weeks of his term the President of these United Stales Iras to shake hands with not leas than 40,000 of his fellow citizens. If any one has ever seen tbe Auditorium when 10,000 persons have been packed into it, and will multiply that number by four and con­ template shaking hands with all of them, be will form a notion of what infinite nui­ sances hand-shaking folk can make of themselves if you .can only g«t enough of them together. Mr. Harrison records that every one who ever hud to undergo the ordeal suffered acute physical torture un­ til Preaident Hayes discovered flat if he reached forward and grasped the hand of nn approaching “sliakar ’ before the T hr holds his hand level with his waist with the bark of it up nud in this attitude it is only possible to get a firm grip <>u the fingers, which does not hurt nearly as much ns pinching the rest of the hand. But tbe handshaking lasts through ’the term, though not in such exorbitant quantities. It Is not the only trouble. The letter writing fiend gets In his direful work—-to the extent of some 800 letters a day. They ask all aorta of things, from an autograph for a log cabin 'quilt to the Ioan of money enough to buy a poor girl a piano. Then, if the Eyrrident is not prompt to send them ail they have re­ quested, they write again to tell him what a mean man they have now learned he is. Private citizens take their turn with charitable and religious organizations in lagging for money, and a woman in North Calolina telegraphed one morning: “I have six little children aud they want to throw me out of the house. I have no­ where to go. I wont protection." The autograph collector is numerously in evi­ dence—scores of them every day of the 1,461 which make up a presidential term. A pile of cards nud a bushel basket full of albums are the first things that greet a chief magistrate’s satiated eyes every morning when he comes into his office. Then there is tbe man who wishes to have the pinion of the President of the United States on the best method of keeping cal­ cimine from coming off ou the clothing, or the woman who has just discovered a new process for fried cakes or saUylunn, and is willing to involve the White House cook In her joys. Think of four years of that sort of thing! » IS CAPT. DREYFUS INNOCENT? All Paris Excited Over a Story of Blackmail and Corruption. Tbe allegation that Alfred Dreyfus, former captain of French artillery, was falsely accused aud convicted by- a court martial of selling French military* plansto the agents of a foreign government, continues to be widely discussed in Paris and throughout France. Tbe presen^ttion of the prisoner's rase to the French NOVAK IS FOUND GUILTY. Frank Novak, ou trial nt Vinton, Iowa, for killing Edward Murray, has been found guilty of murder in tbe second de­ gree. The jriry returned its verdict rec­ ommending that hb punishment* be ten years iu the penitentiary. Counsel for the prisoner said he regarded the verdict a great victory for the defense. A serious mistake on tbe part of the State lu tbe proceedings of the trial was discovered nt the very last moment, and Novak’s counsel fought persistently to prevent its rectificgticn. After tbe evi­ dence had lieen eloied on both sides it was discovered that the county, attorney had omitted to show that the village of Walford, Novak’s heme and where the tragedy occurred, was in Benton County.

Friends of Dreyfus assert .that the newspapers'have constantly maintained a warfare agniust Dreyfus, even up to the present time, and that in consequence tlie prisoner’s wife nud family are oblig­ ed to keep secluded. Alfred Dreyfus is now ^during the most terrible punishment Indiated by a civilized nation ujx>n n human being. Four years ago he wns a rich, brilliant Parisian, n captain in the army, attached to the general staff. Suddenly he was arrested and without legal procedure condemned by n council of war tn exile for life in French Guiana. He wns charged with betraying French military plans to a for­ eign government, understood to be tlie German. The sole evidence against him was a brief note, alleged to have been found in the’wnste paper basket of the German embassy. Although the trial of Dreyfus’was ab­ solutely secret, his condemnation was of the most public character raarcivnble. The unfortunate man was taken to tlie Champ de Mars, the largest parade ground In Paris, where 4,060 troops were awl told of her marriage. He sternly re­ drawn up in fine.

The referees have followed tlie ball so well that It is downed and tlie men lined up before an opportunity has lieen afforded for the rough worx to creep in. As a result of the season’s work every­ thing points to Wisconsin’s men as West­ ern champions and not even Stagg's pets care to dispute the claim, despite the won­ derful victory-over Michigan ■Thursday by a score of 21 to 12. Wisconsin cinched all claims to 'the title when her lively, well-trained canvas-back* snowed North-, wertern under by a score of 22 to 0 at Evanston Thursday. • ’ • The West has been unusually weak in tackles. Holmes, Forrest of Wisconsin, Sweeney of Illinois, Ixickwood of Michi­ gan, Mortimer and Webb of Chicago aud Rheighans of Lake Forest would certain­ ly be candidates for tbe all-Western team. Of thfae, Holmes, for .his work against Chicago, Minnesota and Northwestern in making holds, in defense work general­ ly, is periiaps the first choice, with Swee­ ney a close second. The cases of captain have weighed on Sweeney considerably, but iu all he has more than held his own in the big games played, with the possi­ ble exception of the Indian match. On the ends, the work of Michigan’s and Wireonsin's ends, Dean and Ander­ son and Tcetzel and Bennett, and that of Hamil, mark them ns rawdidatos.

Rev Mc­ Kee preached the sermon. Mrs. Gates was an aunt of A. C. Buxton and Mrs. J. B. Marshall and was well known by several in’Nashville who give Mr. Gates their sympathy in his old age. They hud no children. A young man who was employed to write original testimonials for patent medicines astonished his employers by producing tlie following picture from real life: “My Dear Doctor, I was a constant sufferer from nervous ex­ haustion for three years. After using a few bottles of your valuable remedy my mother-in-law died and I am now entirely cufred." Another writes: “My Dear Doctor, I was cursed with a wart on my neck, which 1 used for a collar button. After taking two bot­ tles of your excellent remedy, I can now button mv trousers on it."

While hunting for it he went into Liebhauser’s store and picked up a ten-dollar bill which had been lost by Henry Barnes, who was still in the store, and had not missed his money. After having lota of fun with Barnes, Oversmith restored the lost money, and Barnes immediately presented Joe with a new pocketbook, so he wouldn’t lose any more checks, und also bought one for himself. Then Liebhauser set up tlie cigars and every body was happy but Oversmlth, whose •good humor was restored later when he found his check in his overcoat pocket, where he himself had placed it.

Yet national independence moves within extremely narrow limits Even of the strongest nations It can not be said that they are at liberty to do exactly what they would. When the war Ix twwn China and Japan- ended, why was not Japan free to exact whnt terms she chose from her conquered enemy? It was because Russia’ France and Germany conclud ed that it would not do to have Japan too strong; and they compelled a mod oration of the Japanese demands Id. material particulars. Cuba belongs to Spain. Why may not Simin govern her own tin she pleases? Why Is It the business of the United States to make suggestions er to volunteer mediation?

The home mission societies have es­ tablished four schools within a short time. Tbw are well-equipped central schools designed a* feeders for denomi­ national colleges. Some day schools, taught in log cabins, are located In the remote and Isola ted valleys aqd coves •f the mountains. In county after coun­ ty, extending over great stretches of country, the one-room cabin home, lighted by the open door, where men, women add children cook, eat and sleep, is tlie rule; and such living does not produce the best class of citizen*. Six thousand of the children of the Southern highbinders are In school, while over 400.000 of them have no chance to secure an education. There are 2,600.000 Southern highlanders In the mountains of the Tennessee. North Carolina. Kentucky. Georgia nnd Vir­ ginia. They occupy 194 counties. Be­ tween 1730 and 1730 240,000 people came from Ulster County, Ireland, to the Carolina shores. They formed the first Republican government in Ameri­ ca in 1700, filling It the WauUuga As­ sociation. To-day the highlanders are poor, neglected, outcast They lost their books In the early wars. They were driven to the mountains, away from the educational and business cen­ ters, because they protested against slavery. There are no Infidels among them, although lawlessness abounds. The lowest forms of civilization In the mountains are the clay-eaters. These people eat clay with a relish, and the only bad effect seems to be the pale death-colored skin and stunted growth thnt result. The children who eat clay grow old prematurely, and the glow of youth leaves them.. They are utterly without ambition and Indiffer­ ent to all conditions, present and fu­ ture. The clay Is found along the banks of the mountain streams In inexhaustible quantities, and Is of a dirty white and yellow color. It has a peculiar, oily ap­ pearance. and the oil keeps It from sticking to the hands and mouth. When dry it does not crumble, and a little water softens It until It can be rolled into any shape. The clay J* tasteless, bat it must contain some nourishment, as these people claim they can subsist on It for days without other food.

Gotlieb Kirchner, who recently died at North Woodside, In Sooth Australia. 90 years old, was a personal friend of the great Napoleon. When the Em­ peror was returning from the disas­ trous Russian Invasion he passed through Kirchner’s native village. His coach had been seriously damaged, so that It had to be repaired. The work was intrusted to Kirchner's father, the village blacksmith. The son. then a lad of 5 years, was so frightened at the soldiery that be fled crying ‘ to his mother. Napoleon, who bad seen him, took him up In his arms to quiet him. set him on his shoulder and let him play with the cockade In his chapeau.

What • Catholic Prleat of the Native, of AlaskaFather Barnum. a Jesuit priest of Baltimore, has been a missionary In Alaska for the phat seven years. He Is scholarly and Is the author of a dictlonary and grammar Id the Eskimo language, upon which he has devoted very much time. He says the Eskimos are the happiest, best naUired people on earth, being full of laughter, and the affection that exists between the elders and the children might well be emudated In more civilised nations. He be­ lieves that the Indians originally came fiom the Interior of America, being driven further and further north by the more powerful tribes, and opposes the generally accepted theory that the Eskimos are traceable, to the Mon­ golians. Of traveling In the frozen country he says: By the time a alight num has gotten on his winter suit and is ready for traveling, he outrivals the. stoutest aiderman in Ms .proportions. First the traveler puts on r heavy pair of woolen gloves, then over this a pair of fur gloups, and finally over all a heavier glove. To keep the foot warm, heavy hose, with a fur-llned boot is used, over this another fur boot with the fur. on the Inside, and over all a fish skin boot to keep out the moisture. Thus wrapped the traveler gets Into his sleigh. There are anywhere from one to a dozen 'false starts on the part of the dogs. Each dog Is howjlng at the top of his voice. There is no stopping to say good-by. Everybody blds goodby In the house, and then It Is a jump to get into the sleigh and get the dogs away. All tnat the Eskimo dog knows about pulling a sleigh Is to get up and go. If they all get up and go at the same time and you are in the sleigh, everything Is alj right, but if one does not happen to go they all stop and argue it out, and another start has to be made. This time In their ha*!* to be off the sleigh may overturn, and there Is another start. Everything has to run smoothly. In starting a dog sleigh. Fi­ nally you are off. Away they go, ^nd you are entirely at their mercy. You can guide them but very little. They seem to take revenge on their human masters by swinging down on the ice beside a crevasse, running so close that It seems a miracle that dog. sleigh aud everybody do not go into the crevasse, never stopping until they reach the en.l of the journey. Perhaps on your way you may meet some one coming the opposite', and the chat-cc* are largely In favor of a fight, in which the dogs of both teams participate to the last dog. All this time the travelers are wielding clubs with judicious effect; get the teams straightened out, and away you go again. One thing Is sure—you must always be in the sleigh when the dogs start, for this Is a train that waits for nobody. . Theft la Unknown to ths InknbHnnta of Hawaii’s Chief City. There is a complete sense of safety In Honolulu without locks or bolts, and this, says a woman writer. Is the .more remarkable because almost every na­ tionality under the sun Is represented in the 30,000 population. But people of all classes and conditions enjoy this feeling of security alike. In the finest residences, where there is most health, therefore greatest risk, the key Is sel­ dom turned in a door. One of the most prominent men In Honolulu said the other day: "I was born on the Islands and have lived here all my life. We have employed almost all nationalities as bouse servantx, but have never lock* ed our doors. Theft Is almost unknown, or at least seldom committed by Chlnese or Japanese servants, and the na­ tive Hawaiian would feel it to be tt reflection on bls honesty If you turned the key against him. Occasionally u business house Is entered, but the law makes the punishment so severe that burglaries are few and far between. Men and women, too, are perfectly safe about the city at night and are never molested in our quiet streets.” * This delightful sense of. security comes to the stranger before he Is fair­ ly landed on the dock. "Just give your keys to the tnan who takes tip your baggage and he will see It through the custom house." said a Hawaiian fellow passenger; returning from the States. I hesitated about leaving my worldly goqds not only to the mercy of n strange custom house officer, but also to a strange baggage man. "It will be all right,” said the man. touching his hat, “and will save you the bother of waiting.” Half an bout later my baggage was tn my room, all right, and attended- to better than 1 could have done It myself. “You need not lock your door.” said the proprietor of the house. “You are quite safe In Honolulu not to lock your door, but leave It open If you like.” My rooms opens'ou a piazza, ns all rooms do Iff this climate, and since the day of my arrival, a month ago. the doors and windows have stood wide open night and day. The house Is three minutes’ walk from the business part of the-city nnd very accessible if anybody cared to enter It. All the ser­ vants about the bouse are Japanese, and Chinese laundrympn come aud go nt will, but nobody In the house turns a kej* Princess Carl of Denmark, formerly Maud of Wah»s.

Everyone knows of Mr. Chamber­ lain's love of orchids and has heard the fame of his orchid houses at Highbury, hl* Birmingham residence. It Is. per­ haps. less generally known that the ..wife of the English colonial secretary Is almost as enthusiastic about carnations as he Is about orchids. Mr. Chamber­ lain has added to the glasshouse* at Highbury in order to gratify Mrs. Chamberlain's taste, and perhaps in time carnations grown there may be as far-famed us (he orchids.

Since the autumn reopening of the Scala the newly married bride has reaped success upon success. Some even ftjink that her style has become better and more matured.

Though Only Five Years Old He Helped to Give Frcednion to Chili. Lord Cochrane was one of the great­ est naval commanders England ever had. and In 1817 bp helped to free Chili from that same Spanish yoke against which the Cubans are now fighting. While he was serving Chill as the commander-ln-chlef of her nary he fought an engagement with his 5-year-old son by bls side. This extraordinary Inci­ dent was the result of the child’s In­ domitable will, and his father’s secret sympathy with his desires. Lady Coch­ rane bad come from Santiago to Val­ paraiso to see her husband off to the war. She hade him good-by on board his ship, and went ashore. As she was looking out of the window of her bouse and listening to the.gun that was sum­ moning all.hands on board for the last time she saw her little son In the arms -of "Hie first lieutenant, waving his cap and shouting "Viva In Patria." aS he was carried to the beach. The sea Hon's cub had Insisted on going with his father, and before his frantic mother could reach him he was In the boat and under way to the tfag-shlp. Lord Cochrane could not delay the fleet to send him back. It seems probable be was glad to get him, for, if the first lieutenant had not had a pretty good notion of his master's desires, how would he have dared bring the boy aboard? Before the first engagement Lord Cochrane locked his son th the after­ cabin, but the lad wax not his son for nothing. He wormed himself through the quarter-galley window, joined his father on deck, and, strange as it may seem, wax allowed to stay there. Lord Cochrane bad a weakness for that sort of thing himself. The baby stood there In his miniature midshipman's uniform, and banded powder tins up and down to the gun­ ners. Presently a shot tore off the head of the marine next him. and he was covered with blood, but he rushed Instantly to bls father, crying: "I am not hurt, papa; the shot did not touch me. Jack says the ball Is not made that can kill mamma’s boy." After that be was ordered below, and went away screaming, but victory ran In the family, so to speak, and he got on deck* again and was at last allowed to stay there till the last gun was fired. _ To Awaken Sleepyheads.

THE SOLDIER ABROAD. The Private Is Seldom Seen in the Main Streets of German Cities. The private soldier Is seldom -seen In any of the leading thoroughfares, of the street* of the large German cities, observed a recently returned military gentleman, to a reporter, not. however, because he would not like to be seen 1 there, but because It Is quite a job for him should he show up In a crowded street. In Europe it Is different from this country, for military officers have to wear their uniforms constantly. In­ deed, many of them have no other clothing. In this country It Is extreme­ ly rare to see an officer In uniform, and never unless he is going or return­ ing from some function where the uni­ form Is necessary, and which, a* I say. lx very, very rare. There are in all of the large cities and towns of Germany hundreds and hundreds of officers. It is nn Imperative duty of the soldier to formally salute every time one passes, even If the same officer passes him five or ten times lu nn hour. The private soldier generally takes a side street, so as to avoid meeting officers, for salut­ ing every five minutes In a day, and sometimes oftener, which would be the case should be travel In the principal streets, gets to be tiresome after It Is observed for three or four hours. The soldier is nearly alwayb loyal, and takes a pride in saluting hi* superior officers, but there lx often too much of a good thing In military life, as there Is In other walks of life. Even In the side streets be has considerable saluting to do, but nothing In comparison with what he would have to do should he venture on the largely traveled streets. The officers are very particular In In­ sisting on salutes, and should n soldier attempt to pass them without doing military honors, on the excuse that he did not see the officer, the result would be somewhat serious to him. Drinking Oysters. It may sound odd to speak of "drink­ ing” oysters. One would assume their opportunity to quench their thirst was fairly good, but oysters must be "drinked.” "drank' 'or “watered"—os oystermen aay—before they are fit for market The "drinking" process Is sim­ ply a matter of fattening, or, to be more truthful. Inflating. When oysters are ’‘raised’* (token from the beds to the air) they are dumped aboard of the sloops, and when a load Is obtained the sloop soils for some fresh water stream. At the mouth of these streams are floats Into which the oysters are dumped at full tide. As the tide ebbs, and the fresh water from the stream gradually fresh­ ens the water In the floats, the oyster opens. -He appears to be drinking, but Instead Is simply allowing the fresh water to wash out the salt. When this is completed the oyster closes. The fresh water cauxes It to swell, some­ times till the shell gape* open. Thus the oyster becomes plump, and when opened looks fat and flt.

Of our Interest­ bearing obligations, the figures are even ■sore striking. On July 1. 1866, the prin­ cipal of the Interest-Bearing debt of the government was 82,333.331,208. On the •rat day of July. 1893, thl* sum had been Ing debt of the United States on tbe 1st day of December,. 1897, was 3847.365.620.

We cannot avoid without se­ rious consequences tbe wise consideration and prompt solution of tbl* question. The secretary of the treasury has out­ lined a plan in great detail for the pur­ pose of removing the threatened recur­ rence of a depleted gold reserve and save us from future embarrassment on that ac­ count. To this plan I invite your careful consideration. I concur with the secretary of the treas­ ury In his recommendation tbat national banks be allowed to Issue notes to the face value of the bonds which they have deposited for circulation, and that the tax on circulating notes secured by deposit of such bonds be reduced to one-half of I per cent per annum. I also join him in recommending that authority be given for the establishment of national banka with a minimum capful of 825,000. Thia will enable tbe smaller villages and agricultural regions of the country to be supplied with currency to meet their needs. . I recommend that the issue, of national bank noteg_b« restricted to the denomina­ tion of 810 and upward*. If the suggesapproval of congress then I would recom­ mend that national banks be required to redeem the notes In gold. The most Important problem with which this government Is now called upon to deal pertaining to Its foreign relations con­ cerns Its duty toward Spain and the Cuban Insurrection. Problems and condi­ tions more or Jess In common with those now existing have confronted this gov- aoakea unreasonable and groundless any mistrust either of our financial ability or •oundnesa. while the actuation from 1893 to 1897 must admonish congress of the Im­ mediate necessity of «o legislating as to snake the return of the conditions then prevailing Impossible. of unrest, growing discontent, an effort toward a larger enjoyment of liberty and self control, of organized resistance to the mother country, of depression after dis­ tress and warfare and of ineffectual settle­ ment to be followed by renewed revolt.

We surely cannot tec longer bred Ires of the burden this Im­ poses upon the people even under fairly prosperous conditions, while the past four year* have demonstrated that it is not only an expensive charge upon the governzneat. but a dangerous menace to the natloaal credit. It is manifest that we must devise some plan to protect the government against bond issue* for repeated redemptions. We must either curtail the opportunity for ■peculation, made easy by the multiplied* redemptions of our demand obligations, or tacreass ths gold reserve for their re­ demption. We have 8900.000.000 of cur­ rency which the government by solemn en- tlnental power called forth, between 1823 and i860, various emphatic declarations of the policy of the United States to permit no disturbance of Cuba’s connection with Spain unlss In the direction of Independ­ ence or acquisition by us through pur­ chase; nor has there been any change of this declared policy since upon the part of the government. The revolution which began In 1868 lasted for ten years, despite the strenuous efforts of the successive peninsular gov­ ernments to suppress it. Then, as now, the government of the United States testi­ fied its grave concern and offered Its aid to put an end to bloodshed in Cuba. The overtures made by Gen. Grant were refused and the war dragged on, entailing creased injury to American Interests, be­ sides throwing enhanced burden* of neu­ trality on the government.

Theee Instruction* recited the character and du­ ration of the contest, the widespread losses It entails, the burdens and restraints It Imposes upon us, with constant disturbance suiting from an indefinite continuance of thl* state of things. It was stated that at this juncture, our government waa con; strained to seriously inquire if the time sentiment of humanity, should put a stop of settlement honorable to herself and just to her Cuban colony. It was urged that, sj a neighboring nation with larg* Interest* in Cuba, we could be required to wait only a reasonable time for th* mother country to establish it* authority and re­ store order within the border* of the In­ land; that we could not contemplate an In­ definite period for the accomplishment of this result. ■ No solution was proposed to which tha slightest idea of humiliation to Spain could atuch, and. Indeed, precise proposal* were withheld to avoid embarrassment to that government. All that was asked or ex­ pected wa* that some safe way might be speedily provided and permanent peace re­ stored?

Tbe reply to our note was received on the 23d day of October. It is In tbe di­ rection of a better understanding. It ap­ preciate* the friendly purpose* of this government. It admits that our country Is deeply affected by the war in Cuba and dares that the present Spanish govern­ ment is bound by every consideration to a change of policy that should satisfy the United States and pacify Cuba within a reasonable time. To this end Spain has decided to put Into e*ect the political reforms heretofore advocated by the present premier, without halting for any consideration in tbe path which In its judgment leads to peace. The military operations. It la s*td. will con­ tinue. but will be humane and conducted with all regard for private rights, being accompanied by political action leading to the autonomy of Cuba while guarding Spanish sovereignty. This, it Is clslmed. will result In In­ vesting Cuba with a distinct personality; tbe island will be governed ty *n execu­ tive and by a local council or chamber, reserving to Spain the control of the for­ eign relation*, the army and navy and the judicial administration. To accomplish thl* th* present government proposes to modify existing legislation by decree, leaving the Spanish corte* with the aid of Cuban senators and deputies, to solvo the economic problem and properly dis­ tribute the existing debt.

She followed the advice and the operation was successfully performed, but resulted in such a shock to her nervous system that she was stricken with nervous prostration. They were unable to revive her from that condition nnd so notlfied Dr. Du Paul, and at the same time sent her home as a probable incurable.

I am proud of my businc## rec­ ord in this city for the past thirty-three years. I yet maintain that not one cent ot thi* money ha* ever been personal gain for me. I challenge any man hi the city of Chicago or elsewhere to’desi^pate one instance when I did Dot£ano*tly perform my duty. If you hnd permitted, Judge Horton, the testimony which twice ac­ quitted me to be heard by Hie jury which sat before you in my last trial, I would have been freed on this charge a# on the others, but you didn't and I stand con­ victed of a terrible crime. • I am nut guil­ ty, but humbly accept my sentence. That i« all." In arriviug nt hi* opinion Judge Hor­ ton cited many raw, nnd although it wa* «et forth in Spalding's last trial that there was no intention on the part of the accused of appropriating the money, to his own use, he held thi# was no excuse. The prisoner hml admitted during the trial that he had deposited with tlie First National Bank Macoupin County bonds belonging to the University of Illinois a* security for his own personal check. The court held thnt when Spalding, who was at this time treasurer of the University of Illinois, took these bond* he Ixrcame debtor to the university for thi# amount. His failure to produce them when called upon made him an embezzk-n nnd there­ fore subjected him to Hie full jtenalty of the law. Inasmuch a# the money was secured on the bonds given as security, the embezzlement wa# phrin to the court, nnd hl# decision was in accordance' with tbe admisaioD of Spalding himself.

CIIKAP FfBO COOKED. Sparrows Destroying Grapes. It Is becoming extremely difficult near cities to grow nnd ripen grapes, because of the attacks of sparrows on thia fruit m soon as It begins to color. ►Fortunately this pest does not go far from cities nnd large villages, where It finds plenty of feed scattered In the sbreets, and where the warmth from city houses affords It partial shelter. But we have learned enough about the habits of the sparrow to know that it is a jH.*st that should be destroyed wherever seen. In England thousands of boys are employed to watch grain fields and drive the sparrows nway. But even .after all this care mlll.ons of dollars' worth of grain is destroyed by them esery year.—Exchange. t ult for a Million Dollar*. Kills His Child and Himself. At Mason, Scott A.

He felt about her breast nnd after locat­ ing the girt’s heart he drew n revolver and shot her: again he fired, but the ball this time penetrated . the child’s right side.

Profits ou the farm are much greater when the averages for several years are compared, as each year must bear Its proportion of expense, and a failure to secure a profit this year may not be a loss, because there may be a correeponding reduction of expense next year. Nor must we overlook tile ad­ vantage of the opportunity offered the farmer of selling his pwu labor'in the form of some product. Where a farm­ er makes only a small profit", bfit has derived a fair sum for the labor he per­ sonally bestowed, his gain Is greater than the actual profit.

There is more profit in keeping a few good animals than to have the stalls -occupied with those tbat give no return for their keep. There are two duties devolving upon fanners which are sel­ dom fulfilled. One Is to thin off the fruit from a tree and the other is to cut out the inferior animals. When the herd is thinned out tlie cost of food is les­ sened nnd less labor is required. Every year the herd or flock should be im­ proved and the least profitable animals disposed of, so as to Increase produc­ tion and reduce the cost. Stick to a Good Horse.

If a beef breed of cattle is preferred­ make beef production a specialty, and not look u;>onx‘owB of such breeds to be perfect as producers of milk nnd but­ ter. There may be a few good butter cows among the beef-producing breeds, but where a certain article Is desired It should be the prime object.

Likely to Hopeful. Annual Grind Begins. Washington correspondence: HE regular nr long session of Congress, - as It is called, be­ cause there is no constitutional limltatIon upon the per­ iod of its duration, opened at noon Mon­ day. The leaders and a very large nnj, jbrity of the memwber* of both houses Bp participated Id the y opening ceremonies. — and President Mc­ Kinley made the VI journey to Wnshlng■—iml. „,ji it ■■ I. ton from the bedside Ui fYir W li U ’ of his dying mother that his absence might not delay the na­ tional legislature at its assembling. The extra session robbed the opening of the regular session of the excitement and in­ terest which usually ntftch to it. As the House wns completely organized at the extra session, and all the committee assignments were made then, beyond the natural stimulus produced by the return­ ing stiftosmen nnd the outlining of schemes by members of the “third house" or lobby, Washington on tbe night preced­ ing the opening was tranquil. •The ceremonies'attending the opening of Congress, though comparatively of a routine character, make a sppetade which in sqtne respects is regarded as the great­ est official eyent of the year nt the na­ tional capital. Monday thp weather was propitious. The sun sljone brilliantly from a cloudless sky. making a glorious, bright December dny, with a tinge of frost in the air to invigorate the lungs and a breeze just strong eqough to keep the stars and stripes snapping from the flag­ staffs. At the capital the crowd swarm­ ed into the corridors nt an early hour am! choked the marble steps ns they ascended to the galleries from which they were to view the ■how.*’ As is usual on such occa­ sions, the reserved galleries were careful­ ly guarded on both the House and Senate sides, admission' being only by card, and the public had great diffleaity in wedging itself into the limited space set aside for it. The program nt the House Monday was very simple. The House wns called to order by the Speaker, who, after the chap­ lain's invocation, directed the Clerk to call the roll. This having been accom­ plished, and the presence of n quorum demonstrated, the clerk wns directed to notify the Senate that the House was ready for business, nnd n committee was appointed to wait on the President. After that there wns a recess to await the ar­ rival of the President's annual message, which wns read upon its reception nnd wns followed by au adjournment until Tuesday. It. is the intention of the House leaders to proceed with the business of the ses­ sion ns rapidly ns possible. The commit­ tees will all iieglu their labors nt once. Tbe appropriations committee has been ut work for ten jiays, aud Chairman Cannon expects to pass two of the regular budgets before the holidays. Among the early genera! measures to re­ ceive consideration will be the bankruptcy bill. Whether it will be the Nelson bill, which passed the Senate at the last ses­ sion, or,a modification of the Torrey bill depend^ on the temper-of the Judiciary Comm^tce. which, will submit the meas- “ fruitless, M9d by methods which will be the fruits of natural causes, and which will not uecewiarily bring on war between the United State* and Spain, Other topics which will be sure to cause much talk throughout the world, and aoinc.of which may be the subject of ac­ tual legiatatian, are revision of the immi­ gration laws, bankruptcy, pooling by rail ways, rehabilitation of the.interstate coomerce aimmisairm, prevention of scalping of railway ticket*, the Central Pacific Railway's debt to the Govenraicnit and the revenues of the Government under the Dingiey law.

Whatever Jus­ citizen, but. haring been concerned in tification there was in the first instance for various little affrays, among which are restricting the issuing of notes against the bond* of the Government, deposited with the Treasurer of the United States, to 90 per cent of the par value thereof, has long since ceased. In the report of every Comp­ troller of the Currency durlng-thc last twen­ ty years the wisdom of changing the exist­ ing law so that the banks nnd through them the. communities in which they arc located might have the additional benefit of an add­ ed loanable capita) has been urged. De­ spite all this the inw still remains without tmendment. Not only should the bank act c amended in this particular, but Con­ gress should seriously consider.such a change in the method of bank note Issue* as will enable the banks of the country to more ade­ quately meet the demands of trade and com­ merce In ail sections of the country. it Is considered by every great commercial government, except the united States, to be the sole province of the banks to issue the paper which circulates ns currency. The belief in a bank mate currency as being better nnd safer than a government paper currency prevailed unquestioned In this country, until, under the apparent exigen­ cies of tbe wnr, the Government undertook to Issue paper currency. Even nndcr such circumstances the promise was already giv­ en. however, that it should be retired ut tbe earliest practical moment, nnd the ndniisBetween the competition of the Govern­ ment potc issues on the one hand and tbe unnecessary restriction* Imposed by law Spon the other, together with the Increasing price of bonds required to l>e deposited as security, the note Issuing function of tbe banks has been permitted to become merely an Inkident to the conduct of the national banking associations of the country. It has Iwcn seriously suggested more than oace that the hank note Issues be done away with, and ail paper Im» Issued by the Government in­ stead. Tbe danger of such a course is not to be overestimated. The experience of every government has been thnt governmental cur­ rency paper 1* a source of weakness and danger. In the United States, where there fans been the nearest approach to success, with the volume of the Federal paper com­ paratively limited In amount, tbe credit of • he Government ha* been more than once put In jeopardy through It. nnd the business interests, of the country subjected to unnec­ essary loss and confusion. Tbe argument that the Government Itetter ti an the bunks can provide for the res!erup­ tion of paper note ls*nc will not stand the test of n careful analysts. The Government has no mean* for raring for Ita demand liabil­ ities. except through borrowing nnd through tbe levying of taxes. Upon the other hand, the banks have assets which can be prompt­ ly converter! Into cash to meet their out­ standing notes when presented. The total number of national banks or­ ganized since the system wns put into operation, in 18C3, I* shown to have been 5.095. On Oct. 31 Inst there were in act­ ive operation 3.G17. having an authorized capital of $030,230,295. The total out­ standing circulation of the banks then in operation was $229,199,880, of which $202,904,555 was secured by bonds of the United States, nnd the balance ly law­ ful money deposited with the Treasurer of the United States. The total circula­ tion outstanding of all nntionai bnnka on Oct. 31 last was $230,131,005, of which amount $1,558,800 was secured by bonds held for account of insolvent and liquida­ ting bank*, and $2(1,205,325 by lawful money deposited for their account nnd by active hanks reducing circulation. The net decrease in the amount of circulation secure*! by bonds during the year wns $12,584,334 nnd the gross decrease in tbe total circulation wns $4,851,292.During the year forty-four banks wore organized, with nn aggregate capital stock of $0,420,000. During Die year seventyone banks went into voluntary liquida­ tion. There was paid to creditors of Insolvent banks during the year $13,109,781. in div­ idends. The magnitude of this unequaled record, the report say*, will be more forci­ bly illustrated If considered in the light of whnt has been accomplished heretofore in the way of dividend payments to tfie creditors of insolvent institutions. In 1893 there wns paid in dividends $3,433,­ 040; in 1894, $5,124,577; in 1895, $3,380,­ 552; in 1890. $2,451,959. and in 1897. $13,­ 109,781, making a total of dividends paid within the five yearn from 1893 to 1897 of $27,300,515, or 36Vi per cent, of all the dividends that have ever been paid to creditors of insolvent banks. From 1863 to 1897 there has been paid In dividends $75,933,925, nnd in the year embraced in Ahi* report $13,109,781, or 17 1-3 per cent, of all the dividends that have been paid during the jteriod of thirty-four years of the existence of the system. Since Oct. 31. tfie end of the report year, seventeen additional dividends have been ordered, amounting in the aggregate to about $023,­ 000. . The report contains the latest compiled statistic* relating to the world's manetary ,system*, and the stock of gold, silver and paper currency. A very interesting fea­ ture of this statement is the per capita amount of each kind of money in the countries name*!. The per capita aver­ ages In the principal countries of the world are ns follows: United States, $23.70; United Kingdoin, $20.(55; France, $34.68; Germany, $18.93; sAustria-Hungnry, $9^3, and Rus­ sia, $8.95. The Comptroller renews his recommen­ dation of last year, urging that national bank examiners be paid an annual salary instead of fees a* now. Beyond doubt there will be several res­ olutions of Inquiry during the first week which may be more or less sensational, and some of the radical pro-Cuba mem­ bers will attempt to gel consideration for a Cuban resolution before the Foreign Affairs Committee can act, but owing to the nature of the House rules all these hasty efforts will prove abortive, and they probably will take their regular course. Simultaneously with the fall of Speaker Reed's gavel in the House, Vice Presi­ dent Hobart called the Senate to order. Half an hour before the Senate convened the public and executive and reserved gal­ leries were filled with spectators to wittx'ss tbe opening of the session. The hand­ some costumes of the ladies added much to the brightness of the *cene. Tbe Sen­ ate chamber nt the opening was a verita­ ble conservatory. Tbe floral display was unusually rich and beautiful, and the odor of flower* was heavy in the hall. Seventy-seven Senators responded to their names on the roll call. The Senate tn start with had a calendar of about 300 bills reported from the com­ mittee* during the special session. The indications on the opening day were for a little more activity than usual during the life-holiday session. This is largely due to the fact that the supporters of the ad­ ministration nnd advocates of annexation are very anxious to secure the earliest possible consideration of the treaty d-ith Hawaii. Senator Davis, chairman of tb^ Committee on Foreign Relations, an-. nounced bi* purpose of pressing annexa­ tion at the earliest possible moment. One point which the committee will be called upon to decide is whether to proceed to ratify the treaty of annexation or to an­ nex the islands by resolutions. The an­ nexationists have lost some votes during the vacation, and there is now apprehen­ sion that the two-third* vote necessary to assure the ratification cannot be secured. Some members of tbe Foreign* Relations Committee who favor annexation advo­ cate this course because they say they see no reason for traversing the same ground twice*, n« they would be compelled to do in case tbe matter should be first considered in executive session, fail there, and thra be taken up in the form of a resolution in open Senate and House. Despite all opposition, it is not doubted Hawaii will be brought under the stars aud stripes. No act of tbe American Con­ gress in many years post has attracted u« much attention throughout the world as tiie annexation of a distant island is sure to attract.

"The Treasury Department in all its operations has treated gold and silver coins, ami the paper-representatives of each, as of equal dignity as to value." be says. “It has <q>erated to keep in con­ current circulation on terms of equality the two kinds of metallic money, notwith­ standing the never ceasing disparity be­ tween the natural or commercial value of one as compared with the other.

The Secretary then recommends th a es­ tablishment of nn issue and redemption division department to which $125,(XX),000 In gold shall be set over to be used: for redemption purposes, and that the sil­ ver dollars and bullion be passed to die same account; that the $200,000,000 greenbacks be collected and placed in tiff* division to be disbursed therefrom only in exchange for gold.

His Presence Renders Family Circle at Canton Complete. President McKinley reached Canton in special train nt 8:35 Tuesday morning. When the President entered the room, accompanied by bis wife and his niece, Miss Mabel McKinley, the sister of the Preddent, *Mi*» Helen, said: “Mother^ here arc William aud Ida.” The Presi­ dent kneeled by his mother's bedside nnd kissed her tenderly. As he did so sb? put her arm about his neck nnd signified that she knew him. She also recognised the President’s wife, and reached her hand toward her. It seemed to friends that she had some­ how or other been waiting for the arrival of her son. Soon after site lapsed into an unconscious state, and the strength that had been husbanded for the last meeting of son and mother seemed to leave her. The scene wns a pathetic one that beg­ gars description. In the midst of it all there was a joy unspeakable in the breast Religion and religious methods seem to tie taking on a new form with the ap­ proaching birth-, of Greater New York. Doctrines of heresy, political discussion* and other matters fur from the old-fash­ ioned path of pastors, seem to be the only queations now discussed in the houses of worship. And the break-away from the orthodox has affected churches of every denomination. The excitement caused by the reported-, possibility of Father Durey being disci­ plined for expressing his approval of so­ cialistic principles has given way tc talk, aroused by the action of Rev. Dr. Denni­ son of the Church of the Sea and Land, who, following the example of the late Dr. Spurgeon of London, who frequently pounded a bible to pieces iu emphasizing: his remarks on some illustrated sermon, has introduced balloons into the church. The balloons were Used by the pastor to make clear the meaning of his object les­ son sermon, “The causes that keep men down." Mr. Dennison demonstrated that many men rose to certain heights in the world, but never got any higher. The weight that kept them down^he explained, was a pair of handcuff*. Then the pastor released a toy balloon with a pair of hand­ cuffs attached to it by string. Of course the balloon had not sutHci<-:it C$pa rftj to hold the gas necessary to raise the weight, and so the illustration was applauded. His second example showed the balloonon the end of a whisky bottle—another cause that kept men down. To illustrate that filth prevented man's asi'cnsion bal­ loon No. 3 wns attached to a tin can filled with dirt. A pair of scissors fastened to a balloon represented sharjetongued per­ sons who are continually cutting into per­ sons* -feelings. The congregation is now divided. Oneportion thinks that pastor's idea an ex­ cellent one, while others declare that his action was an insult to their intelligence. But the idea has “caught on” and sev­ eral "example sermons” are promised in many of the churches. GAGE’S ESTIMATES. Fiscal Year Ending June 30, '99.

Religious Excitement. Religious persecutions in Quakertown, a small village near Norwich, Conn., have reached such a point that a serious climax may result. A month ago the member? of the old families decided that the present youth nnd maiden were being allowed too much levity, nnd it was to meet this want of seriousness that a re­ ligious awakening was decided upon. All went well for a time. Solomon Crouch, a carpenter, who was the leader, Is a Quaker by birth, but not being a native of Quakertown the young folks looked upon him as an outsider, and some of them distrusted him. He claims to hnve special revelations from God, 'and what is revealed to him he preaches to the 'peo­ ple. It is reported that Crouch went to the home of Lucy Whipple, wife of Allen Whipple. She told the revivalist she did not believe in his alleged revelations. At this the revivalist is alleged to hove be­ come greatly enraged and struck her in the face with a knife. The next morning De Whipple house wns burned to the ground, while <hc neighbors looked on. The following night the older Quakers met in council. The entire neighborhood gathered at the-outskirts of tbe village, and decided to run Crouch out. Armed with shotguns, it is alleged, they sur­ rounded Watrous’ house and called for Crouch to appear. He and his followers made a stanch stand, and, it is said, not­ withstanding that charges of buckshot were exchanged, nobody was seriously hurt. During a lull in the fight Crouch nnd Watrous are reported to have escaped under the cover of darkness. JAPAN EXPECTS INDEMNITY. Toru Bosh! Gives the Mikado’* Posi­ tion Rcgardintz Hawaii. Torn Hoshi, Japanese minister to the United States, admitted In au interview .with a representative of tbe Associated Prwqi Dat'the object of his mission to Japan, from whence Ije bus just returned, was to ascertain the vices of his Gov­ ernment on the proposed annexation of Hawaii and to procure instructions from the mikndo relative to the course he was expected to pursue in case the treaty shall be ratified by Congress. Mr. Hushl said: “The impression has gone out to the American iieople thnt we propose to recall the protest entered by Japan against the ncquisitipn of the Sandwich Islands by the’UnitWl States Government. This is misleading und untrue. Japan has always maintained amicable relations with the United States, and it is not our purpose now to take any steps that would lend to a breach of mutual good will, but at tbe same time Japan will stand firmly in the maintenance of its. rights and privileges acquired under treaty with the Hawaiian Government. .If De United States decid­ ed to annex Hawaii, we hope to be able to enfon'c our demands for indemnity for the violation of treaty rights in the ex­ pulsion of Japanese immigrants from the island nnd their exclusion from the rights acquired under our treaty.” States, under eionk of American citizen­ ship. of aliens who xrtherwise would be subject to exclusion.

The Chinese forts opened fire nud'Dc Germans replied, killing three of the garrison, which thereupon fled in' disorder. The Chinese general in com­ mand was captured, but afterward lib­ erated. Several Gorman sailors were in­ jured by stones flung by the Inhabitant* of the villages. In return for Dis De head men of these villages were beaten with bamboo sticks by order of the Ger­ man commander. It is reported iu London that China is willing to pay nn Indemnity of 1,000.000 taels (about $7854130) nnd to grant all the German demands, including tne temporary cession of Kaio-Chou bay and adjoining territory.” According to a special dispatch just received from Paris, the French cruisers Jean Bart, Isdy, Alger, have been ordered to be prepared for immediate dispatch to China.

BETTER PRICES FOR FARMERS, Comparative Statement Issued by the Dakotas with 2.400 bushels of wheat, the product of eighty serw last harvest, but what could have sold his grain in Chicago Thursday for more than his land would bring, and have n few hundred dollars to the good.

Quality of Corn Fodder. Homemade Hinges. One frequently needs a great number of small hinges in malting chicken and other coops. The two sketches given herewith show, homemade hinges that ore lietter than leather and cheaper than tbe hardware dealer’s steel butts. The one shown Unit Is made of screw eyes. Inserted with a round rod of wood There is much difference In original character of corn fodder as well as in that made In curing. Only thnt which hnsjuatured far enough to tassel should be put up for winter feed, and if It has. been planted thluly enough to furnish some nubbins Dot only the grain will help, but tbe quality of the stalks will be improved. Farmers have often no­ ticed that tlie husked stalks were eaten by cows In preference to the thin, wa­ tery nnd tasteless stalks of corn sown ■for fodder. The cow knows whnt is best for her. No corn for fodder should ever be sown. It should tie drilled, and will be all the better If drilled not so closely as to prevent all carljig. At Its best fodder corn Is full of water when harvested, and unless the farmer is willing to do n good deal of lifting for nothing he should make the fodder os nutritious as it can be grown. sengw Err.

Occasionally a bit of hard wood | and a few screws will make a very scr-^ ▼Iceable hinge, attached as shown ln‘ the second picture, which tells its own story. Have the wood stout enough so STH Ar HINGE. In our experience, cauliflower Is very rarely attempted by farmers who begin market gnrd. nlug. Yet it ia quite as easily grown ns cabbage, provided it hns a soil rich enough to grow it to per­ fection. Late cabbage can be grown on land that will not' produce cauliflower. It Is probable that the unsuccessful at­ tempts to grow cauliflower are respon­ sible for the fact thnt It is much less planted than tbe homely cabbage, which as a late crop does not require very rich land, provided it is well culti­ vated. Farmers need to diversify their crops more than they do. It Is this that makes the business of the gardener a •safe one. If one crop falls to make a profit he has cnougli others that are profitable to make his business ns a whole a success.—American Cultivator. Met Death by Poison.

When Uncle Jerry ennie back he went up tot the bed nnd sat down beside his wife and looked nt her. She was asleep, ami Mis' Hopkins thought he must 'a* realized how pitiful she looked for she seen him draw his hand acrost bis eyes two or three times on ttie aly. Bimeby he got up nnd went out to Mis' Hopkins, nnd, says he: "What was the doctor’* orders.' What can I do to help ye?” “He ordered rgurifthin* food, nnd wine, nnd so on," she says, "and I guess the fust thing you may kill u chicken, if you're mintcr, and git it ready for the broth; then go over to Jim Jackson's aud buy a quart or so of thnt oldest grape wine o’ his'n.

The broth was good and strong, and when Aunt Betsey tasted ou’t she looked at her husband real kinder scairt, nnd, says she: “Where did this 'ore come from?” e And he 'aughed and says: ,'Jit's made out of one of our beat Ply mouth Rocks: is it'fcood?” A whadowaVtiidverin' smile hovered for n minute on to her poor face; she didn’t know what to make on't. But when he lugged in the jug o’ wine and poured out n hull half a tumbler full and handed it to her, her eyes fairly -tuck out of her head with astonishment. "Drink it; it'll do you good/' says he. "It's Jim Jackson's oldest grape wine you've beard tell ou.” “Why—why. husband!" she whispered, "didn’t it cost an awful sight o' money?" "Only $3 a gallon," he answered, tryin’ to smile, but lookin’ rather ghastly. She sipped it slow, eyein’ him over the top o’ the tumbler as she done so; but pretty soon she set it down and spoke again, awful lueachin*. and 'pealin’, her lips tremblin’ as if she was going to cry. “I’m sorry to put you to so much ex­ pense. husband.

That night Uncle Jerry harnessed the old mare nnd went over and got Mary Buell to came ’n' stay with 'em a spell.

It’s my turn now,” and he took her to the lounge whe-e she could lay and rest nnd still be with 'em all. She pulled him down to her and kissed him and whispered: » "Oh, husbang. how good you be!

Don’t forget thnt it Is the inward spirit thnt makes the real value of the offering. Don’t express dissatisfaction with a gift, no matter bow great your disappoint­ ment. . Don’t above nil things be guilty of ranking a list of articles you desire. This is a species of polite blackmail. Don’t, even in your, innermost self, specnlate as to whether your gift will bring a return, and above all a return in monetary value. Don't forget that the chief charm of a gift is essentially the surprise. Don’t. therefore, barter with a friend as to reeiprocal gifts. Don’t, if yon have neglected to remem­ ber a friend, wound her pride by semiing a New Year's gift in exchange for her Christmas present. The motive is too ap­ parent. Don’t give gifts because yon feel compelled to do so from n sense of social obli­ gation. There are other ways to acknowl­ edge indebtedness than by making the holiest of holidays a matter of trade and barter. Don’t coo rider the intrinsic value of a gift when you are the recipient.

There th* manner of observing thia holiday is more like u Fourth of July celebration than anything else. The incessant firing of torpedods and fire­ crackers in the mid­ dle of the day nnd the display of pyro­ technics in tho even­ ing rob the day of much of 1U mythol­ ogical and sacred significance. A strqU through a typical town in the realm of fruits , and flowers gives a person from tile North some startling ideas. The show windows are full of firecrackers, Roman candles, sky rockets, packages of tonxsloea and other fireworks. The July weather is present, aquatic nnd field sports nre carried out in accordance with a regular picnic program, and the sight of thousands in holiday nttire on a race track, the borders of some pretty lake or a baseball park, gives little hint of a cele­ bration which ut the North is attended with sleighing, skating and Christmas trees. Only in the churches is the commemo­ ration suggestive anil familiar. In some of these a great Christmas ship, with evergreen-trimmed masts, is displayed. Bright lirtle lads nnd prettj' maids dress­ ed in white and carrying tinsel wands distribute presents 10 everybody. In th* negro quarters, too, the real yuietide fer­ vor is shown.

Mother McKinley Passed Away L'nconscious Sunday Morning. Funeral services over the remains of Mm. Nancy Allison McKinley were held hi the First Methodist Episcopal Church of.Canton at 1 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The burial was In the West Lawn ceme­ tery, just west of the city. Tuesday night President McKinley aud wife and the. officials from Washington who at­ tended the funeral left for Washington. Mrs. McKinley passed from life at a few minutes past 2 o’clock Sunday morn­ ing, with all of her children aud other immediate friends at her bedside. She did not suffer any in her last bourn, but gradually passed from the deep palsied sleep in which she had rested almost con­ stantly "for ten days into the sleep of death. She passed away without having regained consciousness since she rallied on Tuesday to recognize her son. Hopes which the family had that they might be granted manifestation of loving recogni­ tion were in vain. At daylight Sunday morning, at the sug­ gestion of some of the older members of the congregation that an old-time custom now ahnoat obsolete be observed to an­ nounce tbe death, the.bell in the tower of the church slowly tolled off the years of her age. Nancy Allison McKinley was born near Lisbon, O., in 1809. Her father, Abner Allison, was of English descent, but a na­ tive of Pen Day Ivan in. Her mother. Ami Campbell, was of German-Scotch descent. A short time before the birth of Nancy Allison her parents removed from Penn­ sylvania to Columbiana County, Ohio, ami on the farm they acquired there her girlhood was spent. In 1827 she married William McKinley, an Iron manufactur­ er, and the pair lived successively at Fairfield, Niles. Poland nnd Canton. Nine .children were born to them; five of them kj.» den<L_.The living are, Ix'sides the Pr^TilenL Helen Minerrff McKinley of Cautou, O.; Sara Elizabeth, wife of A. J. Duncan of Cleveland, O., and Abner Mc­ Kinley of New York City. Mrs. McKin­ ley became a widow in November, 1892, her husband being 85 years old at his death. Much of Mrs. McKinley’s motherly am­ bition has centered in her seventh son, William, whose political career she has followed at all times with much concern. It was not against her wishes that he en­ tered the army at the breaking out of the rebellion, but when, at the close of the struggle, a commission in the regular army was offered him, her advice was in favor of a return to drii life. . In the study of law and later hi public office, William McKinley was glad to draw tounwl and encouragement from his mother, and she, for her part, had un­ feigned pride in his success. His nomi­ nation and election to the governorship of Ohio confirmed her faith in him. She is said to have been confident beforehand that the St. Louis convention and the election of 1896 would result as they did, while her crowning ambition seems to have been to see her son inaugurated PresidenL_______________________ AT OMAHA'S WHITE CITY.

Now that he i* frep, emancipated from the shadow of this crime thnt has encom­ passed him a# a cloud for *o long, its pro­ portions seem to grow and increase until they' reach a monstrous size. To have been wounded in the Imdy. or deprived of all one’s earthly goods at a stroke, or be­ reaved of one’s nearest nnd dearest, would all have been sore trial*, no doubt. But, alas! to make him a‘fixed figure for scorn to point his low, unmoving finger at. What agony, with misfortune, could cope with that? And she. who had not trust­ ed jiim.when she might, will he care that she should trust him now when she must? Slowly he lifts the pale, slender hnnd, and very gently lets it fall by her side.

FISH CAN BE SPEARED Through the Ice In the Inland Lakes. For ten years the spearing of fish has been prohibited in the inland waters of this state, the act making it unlawful to spear fish having been passed in 1887. Act50 of the Public Acts of 1807, however, makes it law­ ful in the months of December, Jan­ uary Febuary, and March of each year “to take, catch or kill through the ice by the use pf a spear, any or all kinds of fish, except" orook trout, rainbow trout, German or brown trout, grayling, salmon or black bass, in any or all the inland lakes or streams in thijy state, provided, that all waters, lakes and streams in this state, except Maple river below its entrance into Gratiot county, which are now protected from spearing by any local act of the legislature of this state shall be exempt from the provi­ sions of this act.” This permits quite a little liberty in the matter c»f spearing fish, but at the same time there is a large number of lakes and streams in the state that are protected from the operation of the general law by local acts. The only lake in this county that spearing Is prohibited in is Guii lake. NUMBER 18 Young People’s union meeting at the Evangelical church Sundav even­ ing.

Our merchants to a man inform us that the holiday trade this year was better than it has been for years, and far exceeded their expectations. For one thing money seemed to be a little more plenlitul and this coupled with the good roads, and the fact that Nashville merchants are always up to date and oij hand with liberal bar­ gains, accounts for the good holiday business. The following clipping, taken from the Grand Rapids Herald, will be in­ teresting to many Nashville people, as Mr. Barnett was a former resident here:—“Watermelon in the middle of the winter! That is what Landlord Rice surprised his guests with at Christmas dinner. The fruit was raised by William S. Barnett, the West Bridge street plumiier, who was a boarder at the Bridge Street House when Mr. Rice had charge of it. Mr. Barnett is a great friend 'of Mr. Rice and sent him the luxury. Mr. Barnett raises melons ut his farm by the pro­ tection offered bv a •rreenhouse.” One of Stir young merchants was going away last Friday at midnight on a holiday vacation. The wife and daughter of another < itizen expected to take the same train for a visiting trip, so they delegated t)>e young mer­ chant to procure their tickets for them the evening before and he was coming to awaken them in time for the train. He failed to show up, but the ladies got up iust the same and went to the train, but their young friend failed to arrive with the tickets and they were comtielled to go bock home again. The young merchant claims he awvke in .time for breakfast, but we learn that ho is now negotiating for the purchase of an alarm clock vyth a calliope steam whistle attach­ ment. There is always a story Ln circula­ tion about some one. There is always a confidential lie being whispered through the community about some citizen, and everyone is admonished not to say anything about it, and fin­ ally everbody knows it but the person in question. If you have a friend that is made the target for town gos­ sip it is your duty to tell him about it. If you keep it still and allow your friend’s reputation to be stained and trampled under foot without some chance to defend himself, you are do­ ing him a grave injustice. We don’t believe in hutching up trouble for anyone but we hate to see a man con­ victed of a crime in the mind of the public without some chance to explain the matter. It would be a good thing if lies were left painted on the atmosFthere in which they wen- told and the iar’s picture attaeiied to them, for if they were there wouldn't lie ■ so many told, but the atmosphere would be full of word pictures.

He ate his shrimps ns fart ns Evclyu could |M*el them, and chatted to her of the events of the past day, animadverting strongly on his uncle’s meanness and •strict surveillance, which prevented a fel­ low ever having a momeut to himself. He hud good reason to keep his Inten­ tions a secret from his cousin. He knew that she would have reason to dispute and oppose him. For he had two theater tickets in his pocket, aud he wanted to take a pretty milliner's girl to the play. He was looking forward to posing ns the. “masher swell” to “Emily,” and impress­ ing her with n tense of his importance in the commercial world. But when he arriv'ed at the girl's residence, he found him­ self doomed to disappointment. Emily had been "one too-many" for him. Some other fellow, older than Will Caryllj and probably with more money in his poekef, had already made his appearance on the scene, and the faithless milliner hnd left the house under his protection. So half nu Mur later, just as Evclyu Rayne re­ turned home with Mr. Gamble’s supper, she encountered Will Caryll on the dour“Will!" she exclaimed, with pleased sur­ prise; “what brings you home so early?” He could not tell the truth. He knew it would lower him in her eyes, and he was too conceited to wish to lose even the least modicum of admiration from any one of the sex. "Cannot you guess?" "Indeed, I cannot.” “I went out to buy some tickets for the theater. I want to take you there to­ night to sec ’Human Nature.’ "Oh. Will, why didn't you tell me of it before?

And will Aunt Maria let mq go?" "Cut in and ask her, and don't keep me waiting-all flight," retorted Will. Evelyn flew on the wings of the wind into the presence of her aunt.

Have you got Mr. Gamble's supper?’ "Yes, yes. Such n nice little lobster. Quite fresh, and only ninepence.” “And Miss Fletcher has hnd her tea?’ “O. aunt, half an hour ago. and she said the tonst wns deHcious." "Well, I really don’t see why you shouldn't go. then. If your cousin promiM-s to take proper care of you: but don’t yield to any of his persuasions, Evelyn. I haven't much faith in William Caryll. If he doesn’t bring you straight home from the theater, just jump into an omnibus and come back by yourself. Do you un­ derstand me?’ . “Of course I do, auntie; hut Will will bring me straight home.

"Auntie gives me ns much ns she can nfford, and I can't tell you bow sorry 1 am to be a burden to her. I am utterly useless, except to look after the house." "That's the best thing a woman can do,” raid Wil), “snd, when you marry, you'll find the truth of it.” A crimson wave of color surged up into Evelyn’s face. “Marry!

Xkrononnccd and-J'iotable Activity in Retail Trade Is 'Reported by Brad- ■trect' A = — State of Business. Bradstreet's cumniercial ■report says: ••Quietness in wholesale lines, but pronouuccd und notable activity in retail ' trade hare been the salient features in this week’s trade situation. Price changes, which arc numerous, nre largely in an up­ ward direction, nnd the year draws to a <4om* with results as a whole fully equal­ ing and in many instances sunmssing early expectations. Perhaps the most no­ table feature has liecu the unanimity with which the trade reports from all parts of the country, with some few exceptions, point to a very heavy holiday trade, in nenjjy nll’eases comparing favorably with vecciit prv<i'ding years. Reports are that stocks of these g.xHls have been heavily reduced. Particularly prominent in re­ porting a good retail trade iu the West are Chicago. 8t. Ixniis and Kansas City. In the Northwest colder wcnthtT has im­ . proviMi the demand for seasonable goods, ' and this, combined with the usual holi■ slay business, has resulted iu a good total trade, with specially good reports from Milwaukee, St. Paul and Omaha. Proof that the unsettled condition of the wheat aituatiou affects the export business in that cereal is furnished by the figures of idiipiuents from lx»th coasts of the United States and Caundu. The tfitnl exports reixirted to Bradstreet’s aggregate (flour included ns wheat) 4,757,550 bushels, us against 4,(104.000 bushels last week and 6.2tW».OOO bushbls two weeks ago.

Commercial failures in the United States remain about normal. The total for this week amounts to 280. as com­ pared with 283 in the previous week, but is smaller than the total in 1895, when 31(1 were reported. _____ RUSSIA’S LATEST SCHEME.

When farmers produce l>eef from beef breeds they save time and gain in thp weight of their animals. If a steer can be produced In a year it liecomes a rival of the hog nnd sheep in rapidity of growth. At the recent Chicago fut stock show lhe weight of the prize yearling was 1.000 pounds, and its net weight, dressed, was 743 pounds, or 08.10 per cent of dressed meat. The two-year-olds ranged from 1.312 pounds to 1,735 pounds alive, and dressed from 06 to Ul> |»er cent. Such steers should pay well, and they bring better prices per pound than Is usually obtained, but it rs useless for farmers to attempt to attain such success unless they are willing to resort to the breeds that will accomplish the objects desired. Using any kind of steers for producing the choicest beef Is bqt a lossjxf time and food. Kettle Crunc with Dump.
