DICK NORTON'S LUCK Y?.T was a wet. sloppy day ta lato IT September.- There "were only a few ^people on the car, and they were oil intent on their own affairs, except two boys who were chatting together ta true school boy fashion.

"I’m going 40 stop and help that old woman. JtfFt look there:" Dick called back over liis shoulder, pointing to the pavement, where a mischievous boy had overset an old woman’s fruit stall, and then ran bn. leaving her to gather up her scattered stock as best she could. ’Tire poor, bewildered old crea­ ture was bobbing distractedly around, bcneajh her dilapidated umbrella, mak­ ing frantic grabs at the apples and recognition, and he said to the two boys at tire head of the line: "Hello, my lads! So you want a job. do you? Step into the office, here.” and a moment later they tound themselves In the' office atone with Ito owner,* who sat down In bls swing chair and regarded them Intently through bls gold-bowed glasses. /'Ws saw tire advertisement in---began Dick, nervously.

"But flrat I want to know about your old apple woman, and If you got to tho show ta time.” "Why—what---- ” stammered Dick, confusedly, looking a* If be thought the merchant had suddenly taken leave of his senses. . “Oh, yes; I know,” cried Ned. "He was on the car that day that you tum­ bled off to help that old woman. Don’t you remember. Dick?" "Ob, yes. Well, sir,” he said, turn­ ing with a pleasant smile to the mer­ chant "I missed the show, but I helped the did woman a little bit, 1 guess. I picked up her rolling stock and got It on the nrarliotagain." "Ton’ll do," chuckled the merchant “and I think you're the boy for n*.

A little later the boys found them­ selves again in the street. For a few moments they walked along In silence, whan Ned burst out: "Well. I declare, Dick Norton, you're the very Ricklest boy ta this city. It’s perfectly plain to ire seen that old Farn­ ham has taken a shine to you, and your fortune’s mode. I haven’t any doubt."

"Who ever:would have thought." re­ turned Ned. "that your tumbling off the car that day in tire rain would have got you that snug Irertli with the vqry best house ta the city?

Hut let this nt once be settled. 1 know nothing of the girl's whereabouts, and as true, as heaven, 1 am as much surprised to find her gone as you can be.” Tudel looked hi* host in the face for some moments, and the expression which rested there plainly told what hi* feelings, were. "St. Marc.” he said at length, with a positive shake of the head, “you made not the least iaqfiiry for Irene this morn­ ing." “I did not. for I went out as Boon as' ] had eaten my brvnkfast." “But you have always been in the habit of doing so. T'nti! this morning, as I can prove by your servants, you haye never gone out without first inquiring for Irene. Yon saw her last night?" “Yes—1 did." “Aba—you change color, Antonio StMarc. You change color! Now, what occurred nt your meeting with her last evening?” “Nothing more than usual," returned St. Marc, overcoming, by a powerful ef­ fort. the’ emotion which had manifested itself upon hi* face. “By my soul. St. Marc, I beHeve yon are lying to me.” “Fla! Be careful. Jilok Tndel. I am not to be insulted in my own house,” ■said the host, for the first time showing his anger. "Bab! Do you think to bluff me off in that way?” retorted the pirate, warm­ ly. "By the saints, yqu can’t smooth thi* thing over so. You have planned Irene's escape. Stop! I have marked your manner ever since I came back from the Yankee*, nnd I have doubted yon. Just remember. Antonio St. Marr, that you nrc in my jKiwcr.

"Fool* Will you not---- ” "Hold, St. Marc. 1 know you." "So do I know you: nnd though I know nothing of the gir’., yet, for her sake, 1 aiu almost glad she is gone." “You are, are you?” hissed Tudel, start­ ing from bis seat with his hands clenched. ’T am." '•Then you’ve played me false! You have, you lying traitor!” "Jilok Tudel. leave my house! Leave it tn fore I strike you!” The pirate’* eyes flaahed fire. Natural­ ly recl'IcM and impetuous, this provoca­ tion startled the last lingering passion Into actioutthe loss of Irene had irritat­ ed him enough to make him angry; and now. believing as he did that the man before him had used some effort to get the gir! away, he could contain himself no longer. And he was not very far out of the way in most of his suspicion. Hi. Marc hail hoped that Tudel might never get the maiden’s bund, and he had shown his feeling* so plainly that a man with less wit than the pirate po«*e**ed might have read them. A few moment* Tudel gi.ied his companion steadily in the face. He was very pale, and bis lip quivered with passion., "Antonio St. Marc." he said, in a low. hoanw whisper.-—tifMMC-tuark' me—since I have been in the city thi* last time, you have shown plainly that you hojied I should not gain possession of Irene’s hand; you were sorry that the Y'ankeea did not keep and hang me: you cannot deny this." "I shall not deny it,’’ interposed St. Mare. "And." resumed Tudel, seeming not to have noticed the remark, “this morning yoh arose and ate your breakfast, and went out without inquiring for her ns you had always done before. Aud you had a good reason for so doing. You knew she was gone, and you meant not that pursuit should be instituted too soon.

He had just returned to bls seat when the door wa* opened. The newrowr was a gaudily dressed man, in the middle age of life, and bore bim»«flf with easy grare "Ah, St. Adore—found you at home, ♦hr “Ay, my dear San Benito; and I’m glad to wv you, too." , "Thank you.

"But thi* must -be as secret- as the grave." returned the visitor, gaxing around again as before. “You may trust me. 1 think,” said St. Marc, curiously. “O. I know 1 may; only I wanted it understood.” Here the man hesitated for some mo­ ments. and he had juwt made hi* lip* up for a speedt, when he (Uncovered the livid apiM-aranre of his boat’s right temple, ami he naked what hod caused it. "O—nothing—nothing but a mere acci­ dent. But TH explain it after you have stated your case. Come, go on." “Well, St. Mare—4* the first place, I think you have no very great love for' Jilok Tudel." The boat started, nud bis hands wore involuntarily clenched. “Go on," he uttered. "1’11 tell you about that villain anon.” "Well," resumed San Beqito, rather nervously, “1 must speak plainly; and »o TH r.gne to the point at on re.

Antonio St. Marc started to his feet; twice he attempted to speak, but both times be stopped and thought. At length, however, he said: “San Benito, you asked me what made that mark upon my temple.

I shall have a shut if Tudel—stand as my second; if I shoot him, come to me again, aud we will talk vf this. Will you take a uote to him?" > "A challenge?" "Yes.” “With pleasure.” St. Marc sat down at once nnd wrote the challenge—brief, pointed and fiery— an.’ having scaled it he gave it to San Bonito, who- promised to deliver it that very evening. ■ "Wait, wait." said the host.'a* his vi^ itor attempted to speak of Irene again. “Let this affair come off first. I am not apt to mi** my mark!" CHAFTEK XV. It was early morning, and Antonio St. Marc sat alone in his large private room. He sunk into a seat, and with his bead bowed he pondered upon the incidents of his last interview with Irene. He was far from being a happy man. nnd yet there was no contriteneu in hi* soul. There was disappointment theYe. and much anger. Thu* he sat when the door of his apartment, was suddenly thrown open, end Jilok Tudel entered. St. Marc started up and faced him. Both the men were pale, and both stood for a few mo­ ments like fixed statues. Tudel was the first to speak. He drew a Dote from his pocket, and showing it to the host, he said: "Did you write that, senor?" “I did,” returned St. Marc, without moving a muscle, save such a* wen- nec­ essary to the formation of speech. "And you sent it?” "I did.” "And you mean to fight me?" "If you dare.” “Dare? Dare to stand before you? You—Antonio St. Marc! I only wondered if you were not out of your senses when you wrote it. I doubted your courage t<> fare me in such a work." "Say yon hoped I would not meet you and I shall believe •you." "Ah—you can use your tongue. But we are co have do more of that. Come, senor. If you are ready, let us be on our way, for I have busineaa to attend to, and should like to get through with this affair a* soon as possible.” "I am at your service immediately. We will meet on the marsh at the angle of the great road. 1 will be there as soon as you.” "San Benito is below." said Tudel, and with these word* he turned away. As soon as the pirate was gone San Benito cam* up, and Si. Marc ordered two horses to be brought to the court. “I have engaged a surgeon.” said the second. "TYtal is proper,” returned St. Marr. “I thought so.” resumed San Benito. "You are both good shot*, and it will hardly happen that both, if either, can escape untouched.” “You are right.” answered the host, thoughtfully; and as be thus xjtokr be bowed his head and leaned bis brow upon hi* hand. "Senor,” spoke the second, after a few moment* of silence, "have you not sotne direction* you would tike to leave?" “My dear friend,’’ uttered St. Marc, starting up. "that Is just wbat I have been thinking of. I cannot hide from myself the wimple fact that Tudel is a good shot. He may get bis first fire. If b«- doe* -but nev.-r mind. There is one thing at which I would write. I may detain Tudel longer than I praatiasd; but I must write it now.

He wrote very rapidly, but he was longer at it than he anticipate.!. However, it was finished at length, nud having reviewed it he folded it carefully, and then sealed h with wax.

St.-Marc’s horses were fleet .ours. and they were uut saany mihut.-s iu reaching the. ground, which wn« only a mile nnd a hate distant from the city. "How now. senor?” cried .Tudel. in a kalf-thocking tour, “were you doubtful about coming?" "Never mind about that." was St. Mnre’s reply. "He had busincM to keep him, senor." interposed San Benito. “Aha—been preparing for hi* death, eh?" These word* grated harshly upon Antpaio'a ears, but he made no reply. At thi* moment, two priests Were m-cu ap­ proaching the spot—they were coming to­ ward th? city. "Shall we wait’ uutil they have paaaed?" asked Sun Benito. "No." returned Miguel, the man who had come out with Tudel. “let them come, for there .may be some riiiving to do. Their coming is most opportune." In a few minute* the priest* came up. Their feature* were dark from apparent exposure. One of them seemed quite young, though not younger than many others who have friend* of influence in the church. "How now. my childrenY' spoke, the el­ der of the priests, gaxing around upon the party. “We are about to settle a difficulty, good father," returned St. Marc, "and in case either of us fall, you may givt| us consolation." "Perhaps, if I did my duty,” answaK-dj the priest. “I should try to stop this, work, for there is a better hnd more noble method of settling---- ’’ "Peace, good father," interrupted Tudel. “We must fight; and yon can stop if you please, but you must uut inter­ fere.” Thru turning to San Benito, be added: “Come, senor—we wait your motions.” St. Mnrc opened his case and took out his pistols, and asked his' antagonist if he would like one of then k But Tndel had his own weapons, aud} he chose to use then*. The second* proposed that lots should Im? drawn for the fire, and that the distance should be fifteen paces. These propositions were agreed to; so two blades of coarse grass were obtained, one longer than the other, and the lower ends Liddeu in the surgeon’s pocketbook —the one who drew the longest piece was to fire first. Rt. Mnrc had the first draw —nud he drew the shortest piece. ’ “Will you continue?" asked Tudel. •'Take your place?" thundered the oth­ er, made mad by the taunt thu* thrown out. Jilok Tudel took hi* stand without fur­ ther remark, nnd hi* antagonist boldly fared him, with hi* arms by his ride. "Are you'ready?” asked Miguel. “I am." “So *m 1." "Then—ready! One—two—three!" Tndel fired—but 8t. Marc moved not. There was a perceptible tremor of frnme for a /ingle instant, and a twitching of the nether lip: hut that wa* nil. “Are you hit?” asked Benito, hurrying to hi* side. . “Never mind. Count—quick!" “One—two—three!” A* the last word sounded upon the air St. Mnrc fired. Tndel uttered n quirk, low groan, nnd instinctively placed ‘hl* hands to hi* left breast. "Yon are hit!" Miguel cried, springing towards him. . “Buck! back!" the pirate cried, furiou*iy. "Give me the other pistol! Stand. St. Mnrc! 1 hare one more shot!” He caught the second pistol as he spoke nnd without a word St. Marc took hi* place. “Quick—quick! count!” "One—two---- ” . But ere the other won! could be spoken the pirate’* right arm sunk, nnd the pis­ tol exploded, sending the ball into the ground close by hi* feet.

Evaporating Egsw A carload of evaporated eggs shipped by express aud valued at $14,000 left Springfield, Mo., recently for San Fran­ cisco. says an exchange, where It will be placed on a steamer bound for Cape Nome. The eggs were put in oneponnd screw top tin cans, sixty cans In a case, nnd will answer any purpose in the culinary line except boiling. The moisture being taken out of them when they are prepared leaves nothing to boll. The largest egg evaporating es­ tablishment In the world is located at Springfield. The process of evaporat­ ing is done with hot air. and it takes eight bqura to thoroughly evaporate an egg. About four dozen are equal to a pound of the preparation. The Spring­ field factory employe seven ty-flve peo­ ple. and its capacity Is about 400 cases a day. The goods are shipped to all foreign countries and in Europe espe­ cially Is there a big demand, ns the En­ glish government ha* placed the prep­ aration on the hospital supply list. The Klondike country is a heavy user, of this brand of evaporated egg*, as no matter what the price of fresh hen fruit be or how scarce It is. the evap­ orated egg retains its old price, and Is always on bund and ready for busi­ ness. It i* not true that the cattle business to be profitable must be conducted on the broad range* of the Western plains. That is one profitable system of cattle mixing, but there la another which yields fully as great profit* for the cap­ ital invested. Raising cattle on the farm has in all countries aud all ages been found profitable, and more so now than ever. By raising cattle on the farm the farmer has a good mar­ ket for all the feed be can raise, saves labor and expense of transportation and avoid* much loss from waste and the hocus poctu of commerce. And one of the main features of gtock fanning Is that It can be made to continually improve the fertility and value of the farm.—Texas Farm and Ranch.

As an aid In a e c o mpllsblng this work js’lcholas^ B. McGhee, of Orange, Cab. has de­ signed the fruit clipper which/la Illus­ trated herewith. It comprises a pair of blades pivoted together at one end and provided with ring* to attach the clipper to the thumb aud forefinger. A slight pressure with the thumb and fin­ ger la sufficient to cluse the knives and sever the stem. It will be noticed that the clipper allows the use of the band to catch the fruit the moment the stem Is sevenxl. thus enabling It to be gath­ ered rapidly with one hand, while the other Is used for drawing In the boughs of trees or for holding a receptacle. The clipper could also probably be used to advantage by florist* in gathering their flowers for market. By adjusting the position of the two rings the leverage of the clipper can be increased at will for severing large and small stemmed fruits. 1'oliahlna Floors. Floors may be easily varnished and waxed by a delicate woman In thia way: Take a very low chair or stool, so low that a brush held In the hand can easily reach the floor without stooping, and. by moving the chair along, the entire surface of the floor can be easily covered first with the varnish and af­ terward. when dry, with the wax. Where n heavy weighted floor brush is not available, the old French way may be substituted—i. e.. wrapping up the feet in-flannel and shuffling over the floor or skating on a. brush. It is funny to see a servant who has been trained io wax floors iu this way In Europe at his work, performing a sort of shuffling dance over the floor, with his feet look­ ing like pudding bags aud his eye* fixed on vacancy, as he so!,- t-.nly dances to and fro, quite unconscious of the laugh­ able spectacle he presents.

The joint note to China was signed in Pekin by the foreign ministers at 11 o’clock Saturday morning. Two hundred million dollars Is tho maximum sum de­ manded by the powers for the Boxer out­ rages, yet the claims to be made by na­ tives and Individuals are likely to be many times that am'ouuL The joint note was apparently drawn up with two purposes in view. The chief purpose, of course, baa been to secure substantial measures of reform looking to indemnities, punishments and the pre­ vention ot further uprisings. Incident­ ally some of the provisions have been de­ signed, evidently, for the express purpose of Impressing the Asiatic mind with a sense of the danger of meddling with oc­ cidental peoples aixl their properties. Presumably the proposed reforms of this class, fantastic as they may seem, have been adopted with a full understanding of the Chinese character. The compul­ sory erection of monuments and the dis­ patch of embassies bearing apologies no doubt mean something to a Chinaman, however trivial these measures may seem to foreigners. As to the more practical measures men­ tioned In the note several are obviously just and essential. It Is eminently pro­ per that China should be compelled to pay indemnities, punish leading offend­ ers and permit the fortification of for­ eign legations. Of even more impor­ tance are the various administrative re* forms by which the Chinese government will be made to suspend Its system of officialism in certain provinces, abolish, the anti-foreign societies and punish all officials who countenance anti-foreign dis­ turbances. The Indemnity to be paid to the gov­ ernment la In the nature of the expendi­ tures Incurred in dispatching and main­ taining troops lu China, and may be made to include sums paid to tbe heirs of those killed in action or to those who re­ ceived -wounds during engagements Inci­ dent to the capture of Pekin. The total Josses of the allied forces defending the legations were 6 killed and 210 wound­ ed, and many Chinese in the employ of missionaries and the legations lost their lives. An idea of the indemnity to be demand­ ed for the expenses of the several mili­ tary expeditions may be obtained from this table showing the strength of the al­ lies: Men.

They will want not only heavy sumi to indemnify the heirs of those killed, but to solac* tioie who wer* Insulted, and also to cover damage done in the destruction of mission property. Many merchant* suffered losses in conse­ quence of the outrages. Tbe American legation in Pekin was owned by Ool. Charles Denby, Mr. Conger’s predecessor, and the other legations were owned by foreigners or foreign governments. Administration officials believe th* amotufe demanded should not be more than ’ $200,000,000, and that In case of inability properly to distribute the Indem­ nity the matter should be brought to the attention ot The Hague court of arbi­ tration. In case, however, it ahould de­ velop that it la impossible to agree on a reasonable sum, then this government will urge the immediate reference of th*’ whole indemnity question to a court of five jurists, to be selected from thoae members of The Hague tribunal nominat­ ed by countries whose interests wer* not largely affected by tbe Chinese trouble.

Cudahy Roy Telle Thrillinc Story of Edward Cudahy, Jr., son of the mill­ ionaire Omaha packer, who waa kidnaped and returned to Eta home upon payment of a $25,000 ransom by hla father, told the story of the kidnaping to the police Thursday. Edward A. Cudahy, the fath­ er, gave out a statement telling about the demand for the ransom and the meth­ od of payment His experience was littia less thrilling than that of his son. The letter written by the kidnapers demand­ ing the $25,000 ransom was also given oat. Mr. Cudahy announced he would pay $25,000 reward for the arrest of the abductors of hla son. He offered $5,000 for one. or $15,000 for two of them.

Tbe start was tflade along finance*, aud so it ha* come about that the religious emphasis of the new century observance* i«, on the whole, monetary rather than spiritual. Smaller religion* bodies, and also religious societies, have copied the idea, and there is, at n mod­ erate estimate, $100,000,000 asked by tbe religious bodies of the United States on the hinge of the advent of a new century. Methodists have' no fewer than tour new century movements on hand. Th* principal of these is the raising ot $20,­ 000,000 with which to pay debts on churches, to strengthen charitable effort*, ta endow eollegM, and tot help the f unite for aged ministers. To date almost ex­ actly $10,000,000 has been subscribed, the largest part for church debts. Churches in different cities are drganizIng, some have already done so, and with, the advent of the new year they will make combined efforts to raise a fund with which to pay off debts on all churches within the respective city lim­ its. Aboi^t $3,500,000 has been subscrib­ ed for educational purposes, and nearly $1,000,000 for philanthropies. In Eng­ land the Wesleyan* have raised practi­ cally ail of their 1,000,000 guinea*. Among educational Institutions the uni­ versity that has gotten the most to date I* the Ohio Wesleyan, and the American at Washington has done next best. To­ gether these institutions have raised or*r $1,000,000. Methodist* have also a mis­ sion fund in hand. The Missionary So­ ciety will try to increase its receipt* from $1,300,000 a year to $2,000,000. Methodist* South seek to raise a fund of $2,000,000, to be employed in a man­ ner similar to the $2(1,000,000 fund ot Methodists North.

Dickey of Philadelphia, is spending his entire time in the interest of money raising. Presbyterinn* seek to pay church debt*, provide for local im­ provements, help the work of the synods, endow colleges and mission boards, and Increase offerings for work in Chlnd and other foreign fields. There is a Sunday school movement which seeks to get 500,­ 000 children Into Presbytertan schools in addition to the 1,000,000 already there. Congregatlohalists have not entered heartily into a new century scheme either here or in England. Tbe only plan in hand is the raising of $250,000 with which to strengthea the American board. The suggestions made by the Baptists of the North are being adopted by Bap­ tists, white nnd colored, in tbe South. These suggest ions hare a alight reference to money matters. The only reference I* to greater system in giving to all denomi­ nates! benevolences. During the open­ ing week of the new century many Bap­ tist churches will hold all-day prayer meeting*, and the fourth Thursday lu January will be kept as a day of prayer for colleges. On the third Sunday in April Baptist ministers will p-cach on denominational progress during the cen­ tury, and at the anniversaries next May one day will be given to speeches on Bap­ tist achievement in *11 the world. Two years or more ago Roman Catho­ lics discussed the plan of taking a census of numbers and property throughout the world, with * vm-w of publishing early io the new .century the impressive facta or data in mass and so making before the world such a tremendous showing as only the Church of Rome could make, of mate­ rial and spiritual ndevement The holy year has been observed and the census Idea seems to have been forgotten. At any rate the American churches are not yet In the work of taking thia census. On the closing night of the century mas* was said in all Catholic churches, a dis­ pensation having come from Rome au­ thorizing it at this unusual hour. Epliicnp.il fa ns anil Lutheran*. Episcopalian* and Lutherans are not making much ot the new century coming. The former will make much of the hpproaebing Lent, not alone in a religious sense, but aiso in the Sunday achools.

Fletcher of New York City, has set a high mark for similar publica­ tions during the new ebntury, and shows remarkable enterprise on the part of the publisher when we consider that it is in­ tended solely for free distribution. Tbe numerous publications of this character are usually gotten up with the single idea of cheapness, while the thought of expense has certainly been set aside in tbe case of tbe New York Almanac. The artistic cdlorlftffs of the cover, the accuracy of iu calendars and Ils fund of Information nil go to make it well worthy of perusal and preservation.

The first member ot the royal fam­ ily to ride a cycle was the duchess of Albany. A cycle factory in Philadelphia was turning out machines lost year at the rate of one a minute. A cycle race in midocean took place some time ago on the Empress of Japan, bound for Vancouver.

"He may live till night,” said the sur­ geon. in answer to a question from Sun Benito; “but I think not longer than that.” In tbe meantime St. Marc had been raised up. and his’wound examined. It hied freely, and as soon as tbe surgeon could leave Tudcl be came to the other. He introduced his probe, and found tbe ball lodged against one of tbe ribs near the side. It was an easy job to extract it, and she operator was sure no vital part was touched. By the time the ball was extracted and the wound dressed, some twenty people had gathered about the spot, and among them were three officers from thr city. “What have we here?” cried one of tbe hitter, as be came upon tbe spot. “See.” answered Martin San Benito, who knew that if they chose, the officer* might bring them to punishment for the part they had played in the tragedy just concluded; “look ye at these two priest* —they are Yankee privateer* in dis­ guise.” .

"IJow ia it? Who are you?” asked tbe officer, approaching Clarence. The young man bad at first thought of denying the fact, but be knew that it would be of no use, for many in the city would recognize him. *o be frankly said: "I am Clarence Howard, senor; and was once commander of tbe Ixme Star.” “Aha—and now you are come as a »py!"

"Where is Irene? ’ he asked, hurriedly and anxiously. "She has tied, I know not whither,” Kt. Marc returned. “All thia duel is on her account.

Some Demands Meet with Criticism— RszSuk of Forts, Creathun of lega­ tion Guards and Army Posts Cited— Speedy Settlement Thought Near. Earl I2-Hung-Chang bn Sunday noti­ fied the foreign envoys in Pekin that the Ofaln(Aoleiiiputeirtinri<*« had been order­ ed to Wu -the preliminary joint nots. •The announcement came as a pleasant •urpri.se to the envoys. No definite reply to the note from the Chinese court bad been expected for a week to come and in the prompt action of the Emperor are seen most encouraging signs of a derire on tbe part of the government to hasten a final adjustment of the difference*. While the joint note In question ia but a preliminary in the varioui stages at­ tendant upon the re«toratlon of a normal condition ot affairs In the Orient It is the point on which th4 greatest clash of interests was expected. With the joint note accepted the way for agreement on more detailed and specific jwace terms is cleared. The additional iteps to be taken in closing the international affair can now be taken wi:h a haste which has not characterised any of the proceedings thus far. Tbe Chinese plenipotentiaries them­ selves were greatly astonished at receiv­ ing the Imperial instruction* to ’sign the joint note. The Emperor’s instruction* are to agree fully to the note, but to endeavor to get the best ter^is powible, particularly in the matter of limiting the number of the legation guard* and also as to the places, where these are to be located. The plenipotentiaries are Instructed to endeavor to limit the number of army posts along the line of railway to as few a* possible nnd finally to request the pow­ ers not to destroy the forts, but merely to disarm them. The foreign communities in Pekin are highly Mtlsded at the decided tone of the collective uote and the determined stand of the powers. It is understood LiHung-Cbang sent a memorial to tbe throne, couched in very strong term*, urging complete compliance.

Chicago—Extreme dullness waa the chief feature of toe speculative buainess In wheat and corn during the last week of the year. The absence of activity was attempted to be accounted for by the in­ fluence of the holidays, but that cannot be accepted hi explanation in view of the unprecedented briskness of speculation in Wall street, where the effect of the holi­ day season shoaltT be a* marked os is claimed for it in the dealings on the Chi cago Board of Trad*-. There are other reasons than the oue referred to for the dullness of the speculative buiiuce* in Board of Trade circle^ to which atten­ tion haa been only casually directed, the least of which is certainly not the trivial fluctuations from day io day and week to week. Unless something occurs to create a greater divergence of opinion with regard to the future probabilities of the market (referring more particularly to wheat) there ia but little promise for interest in tbe trade extending beyond tbe comparatively limited bounds of tbs professional speculators. Compared with ita price oq the previous Saturday, May wheat Friday afternoon bad only changed ’i cent a bushel, and that in face of the iasue meantime «»f the government’s final estimate on the quantitative production of last season’s crops, which ordinarily is a cause for much disturbance of prevlooaly formed opinion nnd unsettling of prices. If the grain trade waa not much influenced by tbe government estimate ot the reason's cereal wealth it must at least be sfibject for the most lively con­ gratulations of the general business co®inanity to find from it that notwithstand­ ing heavy losses to tbe wheat crop in several imixirtaut sections where It ia largely raised the abundance of its growth in other areas waa such that the total was above tbe average of the laat five years and approximately not far from ranking with the best of former season*.

There must also be sub­ tracted 50,000 acres for lhe Fort Kill military reservation, leaving about-1.U14,070 acre* for settlement. Probably ouefourth of this Is mineral or waste land*, so that only about 8.000 quarter section* of desirable laud will be !eft for the set­ tlers. Tlicre is treund to be Ji*appo:utmmt, because tbe number of possible winner* when the Fort Sill country is opefied wilt be strikinjfiw dtaproportiunate to the in­ terest felt and to the number at entries.

Id a vacuum, when the air is ex­ hausted. a column of water thirty feet high will rise by the pressure of the air on the source of aupply to it Thus a pump, made air-tight, will draw water out of a well thirty feet deep. If there is no loss by friction or leaking of air. But to allow for as much of these ns cannot be avoided in practice, a fairly good pump will raise water twenty-live feet. Now. if wo arrange a bent pipe as In the diagram, and draw the water over the hill to the outlet by a pump attached to it, and sypbox nr usx. then remove the pump, the water will continue to Cow in spite of obstacles over a hill or elevation'of twenty-flve feet. This is because the longer col­ umn of water in the outlet pipe draws the water over the hill, for the reason that as the water flows from the lower end of course it makes a vacuum or empty apace on the other end of the pipe in which there Is no air. aud the pressure of the air on the water of the spring instantly compels the water to flow up the pli>e and over the top and down to the outlet. So that If the well is not over twenty-flve or twenty-six feet deep, and the outlet of the pipe In more than this, the water will con­ tinue.to flow, once It Is drawn over the elevation. But, as water always has some air dissolved In It. and this es­ capes as the water flows up the pipe. It collects at the top, and. In time, makes a large bubble, which stops the water, until the air is got out and a new start is made. This In dene by filling thr pipe at the place marked at the top. closing each end by taps pro­ vided for this, and then starting the flow again. The poultry-house plan here shown haajieen found very satisfactory In large flock*. Each apartment Is in­ tended for r separate flock, and will accommodate twenty fowls, which is as many as may be safely kepi ta begin with. After one has gained experience fifty fowls may be kept in a house of the right size. The house Is twenty feet long, eight feet high In the front, and five In the rear, and fifteen feel wide, which gives room for twenty fowls In each house. These house* may lw» built in a row of as many as may l»e desired, giving a wire fenced yard for en< h Hock, with an open shed which may be used in the summer for the birds to roost In. If this house is OOP» POVLTRT BOUSZ. made tight by a tar-pai>er lining. It will be sufficiently warm for the winter. No floor Is required: the earth. If it is dry. will be the best: but this should be well covered with coarse ssnd or saw­ dust. The fartoere who are feeding out! timothy hay, and seeing tbe,ir neigh-! lion. selling load after load of It at a good price, while their cattle are kept in good condition and their cows are giving more milk on corn fodder than those do that are eating high-priced bay. must feel like asking some one to kick them now. and then aoine around aud kick them again next spring until they promise either to plant corn or sow corn in drills and save the fodder f»rf next winter's use. Yet tills is but oiie atriaII part of their lows. Those who had a plenty of corn fodder to use dur­ ing thr dry time law summer kept their cow* up to full milk production then, and li/'gan the fall with them in much better condition than were those that had to depend upon tbe pasture alone, and. rbu* they will have more milk every day awl milk wore days this win­ ter than those who trusted to the graw< crop alone.

The Bacon Type. The fact that few understand the typo of hog which the bacon market requires has perhaps been the main reason why it Is generally accepted that it costs more i>er pound to raise a hog of the bacon type than one of the lard type. It-to not commonly thought that the hogs of the bacon type are Improved breeds. It is generally supposed that they are hogs having all the character­ istics of the raxor-backotl native hogs that represent all that is undesirable for feeding punxMcn. The first point necessary to make clear is that a thin hog is not In any sense a bacon bog. In the baton hog it in desirable to have about one qnd a half Inches of fat with an .abundance of loan flesh in the car­ cass. It is flesh, muscle oh lean meat that is desirable and not iu any sense a | thin carcass. An important point among the desirable characteristics of the bacon hog is that of form. The side should Ik* as long as possible, with great depth, and levelness from shoul­ der to hip should be the leading charac­ teristic. The shoulder should not bulge out and the hams should not be pendant and plump as In the case of the lard hog. If a straight edge is laid along the side of the typical bacon bog it should touch every point from the start of the shoulder to the end“bf the hind quarter. Thoroucrbhred Stallion.

Huth1-breeders have every reason to feel joyous over the demand for good horses, both at home aud abroad. The great complaint of the dealers is that they find it difficult'to keep up to tho demand. Those who breed and handle good horses will have a long period of pros­ perity. Go out io the fairs and shows and some good, large markets, and see what Is called for. aud you will be cured of breeding scrubs, and your eyes will be -peoed. One of the best devices I know of Is the safety strap attached to the ends of the shafts.

New York: No great amdunt of activ­ ity in general business is ever expected at this season of the year. Immediately fol­ lowing the holiday rush there is usually a slight natural reaction and a quieting down of conditions which gives mer chant* and manufacturers an . pportunity to take stock and balance their ac­ counts. Tne present is. in fact, a '‘be­ tween seasons'* period—too late for much movement in winter good* and too early for the spring trade. In the stock market the week has been n highly sensational one. sharp breaks and sharper recoveries following each other In quick succession. Prices for nearly everything on the list are dow higher than ever before and iu some cases doubtless they have gone far beyond intrinsic values. Chicago: With the ennjlug of the new year was brought a considerable Increaae to the volume of speculative business on the Baord of Trade, together with the equally agreeable accompaniment of high­ er prices. Perhaps the persistent buoy­ ancy of the New York stock market brought about a more hopeful feeling with regard to the probabilities of some •f the overflowing rush of speculative sentiment becoming diverted toward the grain markets, but such a feeling would perhaps n^ver bare been entertained bad it not been for tbe existence of certain features in the condition of tho Board of 'Trade markets that iu themselves were sufficiently suggestive of a likely ad­ vance. Wheat, the price of which has so long been deirreaaed by heavy receipts from what was by many supposed to be a small crop, had promise of relief from that anomaly.

Lodcinc Hoaie Fire in Minneapolis Cause* Death of Inmates. Eight men died from suffucatimi is a fire which broke ouHn the Harvard lodg­ ing house in Minneapolis. Several are Ln a critical condition from burns and tojuries received to a panic which ensued upon the discovery of tbe blow. The fire bad ata origiu io the rear of the Standard torniture store on the ground floor and at first it nfipeared to be Insignificant. The alarm was sound­ ed by Charles Hanson, a lodger, who on going to bis room was confronted by a dcuKi* volume of wnokc. He was on tha second floor and he imedlatuly gav® the warning to George O’Connor, the day clerk. O’Connor , recognizing the danger, proceeded to kick In the doors ou the sec­ ond floor, which is the main floor of the hotel. He continued up to the third floor and managed to arouse several of the men, but was finally beaten back by tbe heavy rush of smoke and had to run out to avoid suffocation. The flame* appeared in the rear and did not burst forth at the front, though tb* smoke poured from the windows in vol­ umes. As soon as tbe firemen arrived It was recognixed that tbe building was a veritable trap. Ladders were run up at tbe front and the firemen rushed up. Before any of them could make their way into the building the lodger* were breaking, the windows aud holding their heads out to a rain attempt to secure fresh air. Pitiful cries for help were jnade by many. This scene did not last long, for the battle of the men for life was In vain. The smoke rushed out on them and they succumbed and fell back unconscious. All of the dead and uncon­ scious men were found in the front rooms of the second and third floor*. - Up to 1791 there were but three tonka in the United States with an aggregate capital cf 32.000.000.

The Boors hare succeeded in creating a panic at Cape Town, where more than 6,000 men have enlisted within tbe last week to repel an attack from the Trans­ vaal invader*. Big guns have also been landed from the battleship Monarch and every preparation is being made to de­ fend tbe dty. While it Is not likely that the Boer invasion of Cape Colony will result In any material success, it is con­ sidered in military circles a piece of adroit strategy worthy of the ablest gen.eral. Lt Is said to have been planned by Botha, the commander-in-chief of th* Boer forces, and to be designed to draw a large part ot Lord Kitchener’s effective force away from the Transvaal. Succeed­ ing In this, It is argued that Botha con­ templates strikiug a serious blow at Pre­ toria. There is nothing in the dispatches from British source* to Indicate a gen­ eral uprising of the Dutch people of Cape Colony. It I* admitted that a few recruits have joined the Boer invader*. The real fact*, however, may have been »uppre»sed, for there is no doubting the genulnrnrss of the alarm not only at Cape Town but in London. 1't is again announced that President Kruger will visit the Units ed State*. It ha* been generally believ«d that the Boer president would cross the Atlantic, especially after the failure of his mission in Europe was patent. Negotiation* at Pekin are’again at a standstill. The allied forces, at tbe re­ quest of Emperor Kwang-Su. hare grant­ ed a truce and military operations are nominally at a standstill. Tbe Emperor has Instructed Prince Ching and Earl LI* Hung-Chang to sign the preliminary terms of pence, and the joint note refer­ red to Inst week is being put Into th* form of an agreement for signatures. In­ terest in the diplomatic phase of the Chi­ nese question was stirred during the week by the announcement ot a treaty between China and Russia, by the terms of which the vn«t province of Manchuria becomes virtually n protectorate under the Cxar. The treaty Is, on the surface, in direct violation of the tacit agreemeut that Jias maintained tb» concert of the powers at Pekin. With thl* tacit agreement brok­ en,' there seem* to be no reason why Ger many should not assume a protectorate over the entire Shan-Tung proving, or France over some of the southern prov­ inces. Russia's practical seiaure of Man-hurla virtually adds 374,000 square miles tn the Czar’s dominion, shuts off Core* from China, and means the nomination of Mongolia. It virtually carries the Ruaslan Empire in Asin southward to tbe Groat Wall aud ’menaces the integrity of Pekin itaelf. •- —> From Havana comes the statement that the constitutional convention has virtually derided up*n the plan for the future relations between the island and the United State*. It is said to toclud* an acceptance of the Munroe doctrine, the regulation of Cuban foreign affairs In ac­ cordance with the wishes ot the United Stat^i, the transfer to the United State* of any harbor on the north coast and any two harbor* on the south coast that may be desired for naval bases, sod a treaty of offensive and defensive alliance. If such a plan in adopted It indicates that the Cubans who favor a United States protectorate over the future republic are in the majority. But tbe convention has not yet arrived at a final decision and tbe constitution it forms will have to be ratified by the people before it can be­ come effective.

It was about a month after his confinement that Clar­ ence was informed that a priest wished to nee him. It was in tje afternoon, uud the day had been very Wight aud clear. “What doe* be want?" the prisoner naked. "It te one of our good priest* who know* of your heresy, and who would •are your aoul,” replied the jailer. Clarence bode -the jaiter to let the priest come iu. In a few minute* after­ wards the keeper returned, and a Cath­ olic priest followed him in. The former ■imply nodded an introduction, and tl>«<M withdrew. “Wdl. my son,” commenw-d Father Rondo—It was Gonzales—“how does your confinement agree with you?” “As well aa the same would agree with any man who preferred hte liberty," an­ swered the vouth. “But I suppose you find some consola­ tion in your loneliness.” “Yes, renor," returned Clarence. "I am consoled by the belief that the arms of my countrymen will ere long open my prison door." "Ia there not something unmeritioned that occupies your tboughtr'at times?" asked the priest. “Benor!" *|M>ke the youth, starting to Bis feet, "you may xpeak plainly. "1 wilt Would you like to hear from Irene St. Marc?" "More than from any other living aoul!" answered Clarence, quickly and eagerly. “Well—I have a message from her to you. 1 have had it iu keeping for a month, and this is the first opportunity I have bad to see you. 1 told her you had been put in prison. She would have come to you then if I would have permit­ ted. No consideration of self could deter her: but when I made her understand that yon would suffer equally with her if *hc fell into her father's band* agate, she consented to be governed by my udvice. You have aeen the old woman. Calypso?” "Yes, aenor,” the youth replied, nnxlously. “Well, the maiden went away with 1__. her. I promised that I would see you, and tell you all.

At all events, her whole undivided heart is yonrs; and not until I had promised her that 1 would aee you, would she consent to leave the vicinity of this city.” “O!” cried Clarenc$, eiaspiug hte hands mid raising his eyes to heaven, “heaven bless and protect her! But have you heard from her since?” “Yes—tbi* ver> morning. She was in the city of Mexico.a week ago. and was going from there to Valladolid.’’ “Yes—perfectly so." “O, I bless you. good *enor, for thia. Henceforth my bondage will be light in comparison with tbe past month. Of course. I shall know where she te when "Yea. Yon shall see me. If I do not find you. you must seek me.

I’d confess a thousand *ins ' for one word from Irene. But you will come a* often as you hear from her?" “If I can. of course; for I only hear for you. She needs no word for me alone, save the warm friendship she feels for all who have been kind to her." Awhile longer they communed upon the subject of Irene and her father, and then the good priest took hte leave. From that time forth Father Rondo visited the prison n» often as convenient. In another ruOHth--ka-brought further word from Irene. She was in Valladolid, and there she meant to stop through the winter, as she had found a ttomfortable home and was safe from danger. Thus tbe months wore away, and Clar­ ence begun to wonder If he should ever from your prison, but I.fancy this Inveit:nent will not bring such an went about, unteaa after defeat here the Americana choose to capitulate." ' “Who command* the American “Gen.

"Very well,” returned Clarence, with a smite, “we will not dispute this point now. Only let me say—and I say it with a full knowledge of all the circumstances If-he dues not—be will not only lose hte i•Mty. but u most dreadful carnage must be the result. - You know what dreadful scene* must necessarily accompany th* besieging ot a large aud densely popu­ lated city.” “I know—I know," said the priest, sol­ emnly. “But ’tte the fate of war.

When noon came, Clarence noticed the appearance of The man who brought hte dinner. He was,pale and trembling , “What te all thi* noise w* hear in the distance?" aaked Clarence, as the soldier was upon the point of turning away. The man turned and looked the speak­ 'er in the face, but he was not used to the dim light, and he could not see the prisoner’* face plainly. "It te an army come to be cut up and ।driven into the sea," he at length replied, , 'bhisteringly. “Have the Americanrtomc?" tbe cap­ Itain asked, honestly. “Ye*. They're fools—or else they’re blind. ” 1 "They must be," rejoined Clarence, “if 1they imagine the people here will surren­ der without fighting. I suppose you are ■ |prep&igd to fight to the death." "Yea,” answered tho Mexican, with a ighastly effort to appear bold and deter­ mined. i Ana in a moment liore he was gone. And so the day wore away, and when ■ Clarence laid hi* head upon his hard pil­ ' low at night, he could still hear tbe busy jhum that came up from the camp of hte countrymen. 1 CHAPTER XVIII. Night followed day, and day came jagain, until Clarence had made aeventeen imarks for the days that had dawned in ]March. On the morning of the eighteenth 1he arose a* usual, and when the soldier <came with tbe breakfast fee noticed that i was more tremulous than usual. At he Ilength there came a strange stillness over the city. It seemed an oppressive, death­ ly silence. But It lasted not long. Soon there came a thunder crash, and the old castle trembled to iu very foundations. Anon the thundering commenced in the city, and ere long tbe air of'tbe dun­ geon held the odor of exploding powder. “The bombardment ha* commenced," shouted Clarence. “Ho, my noble boy, our people hare opened the ball. As sure a* fate tbte place must fall.'’ “I hope so." returned Peter. "But I know it. If tbe Mexicans are stubborn they may hold out some time. but they mu«t come to it after a while.” Aud now the booming of the heavy ar­ tillery was incesasut. One continuous roar filled the air, and the old cast]* *hook like a reed hut in a gale. And there came the sound of that sharper, harsher crashing, as the huge shell* burst about the place. Ho passed the long day away, and even into the night the earth shook with the bursting of the shell* and rockets. Thus passed six day*, during which tbe roar of cannon and mortar* was almost incessant. On the morning of the sev­ enth day Father Hondo made hte apl>earancr. He was pale and wan, and hte step was tremulous. He extended hi* hand, but the salutation was performed in silence. "Good father," said oni hero. “1 am glad you hare come, for now I can know what is going on. How goes the siege?" “Alas, my son, it te a fearful work that is being done!" the prie*< replied, with a shudder. "I have read of wars, and I knew they Were dreadful, but 1 neter dreamed of such scenes of horror as have prest^ted themselves to my gaze tained him. but he began now to falter. He often arked hte jailers how tpe war was progressing, but they lied to him. He knew this from tbe statements of the priest. March came, with it* wind* and storms, and yet the prison door* were not opened. Put in a few days from that time the officers who sometimes visited tbe ceils store strange expressions upon their countenance*. Clarence kept a cal­ endar ui>on the wall of hte dungeon with "Then the execution in the city is con­ an old nail which he had begged of hi* siderable?" “O! dreadful-dreadful!" jailer for that purpose. One morning -But how gui-s it now?" aaked Clar­ wall to make hia mark for that day. It ence, who had more interest in the prob­ able result than in the mere work that was the ninth mark for March. "Hark." uttered Peter, as bis master turned from the wait “What te that?” “Perhaps the troops are turning out uttered Hondo, with bis bands clasped for drill," answered Clarence. "No. no. Do you not hear that distant pieces; tbe ground plowed up by bursting sheila, and tbe whole city running with the blood of its people! In every street le were shouting T' said the captain, bo.wing the dead and dying are iying tielpien* and serin as fresh and strong as rrer.’ Night and day came again—at March.

It was-a shout—a prolonged, thundering shout of victory, thnt saluted the rar* of the’prteoucrs; anti it came from.the-dtetaut army, where thr American* were. Now the youthful captain was nervous and anxious. Each hour reemed an age, and he longed to greet his brave compan­ ions. But time wo* not moved aside st his prayer, nor could his longings expe­ dite the trauaaction* that were going on without. But the time came at length. Wkeu’the dungeon had become dark aud drear once more, and just a* the prison­ ers had made up their mluds that they were to spend another night in the prison, the tramp of heavy feet was beard in the long, arched corridor, and shortly after­ wards the heavy door was opened. ‘'Number one hundred and seven, ‘pris­ oner of war.’ " read an officer, who held an open book iu bis hand. “Now, whom BALLOTS are cast.

Half a dozen American officers crowd­ ed about the spot, and when they knew that tbe prisoner was iu reality tbe noble commander of the Lone Star, their joy knew no bounds, < Tbe kun was ju.«t siukiug when How­ ard emerged into the wide cotlrt qf the castle, and for n moment a sensation ot horror pervaded hi* soul, for the ghastly evidence of the death work that had been going on were to l>e swn upon all sides. Ou tbe following morning Clarence re­ ceived a visit from one of the general’s orderlies, who bade him wait upon the commander-in-ehief at once. Our hero had oaten hte breakfast, so be waa arady to set out, and he accompanied the mes­ senger back. He found the stout rid general with numbers of his stuff shout hint. He arose as tbc young captain was introduced, and extended hte hand. "Am .1 right, sir, in looking upon you aa the commander of the Texan schooner *f war which ha* done so much execution against the enemy?" asked Scott, gazing admiringly into the handsome face of the visitor. “I am the man. general,",replied Clar­ ence. modestly. "And how enrae yon here?" the rid commander asked. The youth told hte story in a* few words as possible. “And besides all this," he added, after be had told ot the message he bad re­ ceived from Irene, “I knew that I should gain from the maiden some information of the privateers that had fitted out at this port, as lier father knew them ail, aud had some interest iu one or >tore of them. But I gained nothing, as you al­ ready know, save pretty snug winter quarters." "Well.",returned Scott, “you haven’t lost much, for there’s been nothing of much consequence going on since you were imprisoned unsil we commenced thi* bombardment. And now what do yon wish to do?" “I should like to work, but—what ore your,movements?*’ “1 am for the Mexican capital, cap­ tain.” "Then TH me go with you. Give me a musket, and let me go." “We’ll do better than that." said the general, with a look of pleasure. “You shall keep me company, and we’ll find a commission and a pair of epaulettes for and the will of the people. They also state the number of rotes given «aeh candidate. The statements are sealed In envelopes. One is sent by mail to the Secretary of State at Washington.

It was soon settled that the young offi­ cer should go with the army, and take hi* station near the commander-in-chief, until some vacancy should occur woere hte presence should be more needed. Dur­ ing the remainder of the time that the array remained at Vera Crux, Clarence ■pent the time very pleasantly with his brother offlevr*.

ThouxandH of moo, representing ev­ ery degree o£ skill, are fast bringing into existence the great Pan-American Exposition. which shwll next year turn the footsteps of half the nation toward Buffalo. Never was an Exposition projected amid such promising and fa­ vorable surroundings and conditions. fUith the best known natural wonder of the world—the stupendous aud ma­ jestic falls of Niagara—within half an hour’s ride of the Exposition grounds and the greatest electric power plants in the world' using the power of these famous cataracts, truly magnets of Ir­ resistible force, to help draw the crowds from all directions, Buffalo looks to an unparalleled success la next year s enterprise. In six important particulars the Pan­ American Exposition -will outrival all former undertakings of this descrip­ tion. These are in the electrical ef­ fects. In tbe hydraulic and fountain effects. In horticultural and floral dec­ orations, In the variety and splendor of its stateary, !n color decorations and in the court settings. The highest skill has been employed In developing these features, and no pains will be spared to bring them to a degree of , perfection never before achieved. ’ A large number of the most noted sculptors of America are engaged upou the models for the magnificent decora­ tive display of original sculpture. About 125 groups of statuary will be employed in the ornamentation of buildings and grounds, aside from numberless small sculptures, such as heads, floral pieces, medallions, ara­ besques aud work In relief upon all buildings and architectural works. Among the 20 or more great build­ ings which will shelter the multitude of exhibits to be brought together for the entertainment and education of ths public next year the Agriculture build­ ing ranks among the largest. This Is situated on the north side of the Mall, opposite the Manufactures building and east of the huge Electric Tower, which Is to be the centerpiece of elec­ tric illumination. The Agriculture building Is 500 feet long by 150 wide. It is very ornament­ s’ In Its exterior aspect, having broad, high entrances richly adorned with ap­ propriate plastic work. Tbe southern facade is characterized by an open log g'.a which forms an attractive resting place or promenade from which tbe crowds upon the Mall may be observed. The roof of red tile, with broad over­ hanging eaves, will harmonize with the softer tints of the exterior walls. The broad cornice is to be particularly rich Ln Its decorative detail. The exhibit Ln the Agriculture build­ ing will embrace every possible phase of agricultural work, showing the ad­ vantages of different processes and methods of work and the products of the garden aixl field in their great vari­ ety, produced under all sorts of condi­ tions. The superintendent of this division Is Mr. Frank A. Converse of Woodville. N. Y., a stock grower and farmer of thorough experience in Exposition work, who has been prominent in farm­ ers' Institute work on behalf of the New York state department of agricul­ ture. Mr. Converse is receiving tbe co­ operation of many prominent associa­ tions and Individuals, and bls corre­ spondence aLthla<grly date Indicates a most comprehensive exhibit of scien­ tific farming in all its branches. Under the classifieatiou of agricul­ tural systems will be shown methods of fertilization. Including the use of cover crops, commercial fertilizers, crop rotation, systems of soiling, with bulletins, statistics, addresses and ex­ hibitions of crops raised by the use of particular fertilizers. Under the classification of farm man agement and processes the different systems will be illustrated with the view of assisting farmers to determine whether it is best to keep a variety of stock or a particular breed and, if but one kind, which shall be favored. The question of farm help and the different specialti-s in tbe way of fruit, grain and truck farming will be treated exhaustively. Tbe experience of a large number of farmers under many conditions of tbe soil, climate, etc., will be brought together for the information of all who wish to learn. Under the classification of agricul­ tural statistics win bo presented re­ ports from different states and prov­ inces issued by tbe departments of ag sugar beets. showing all varieties and tton. anirr which they thrive bet. In­ eluding both sol! and atmosphere. The necessity of abundant sunshine tn tbc maturing of sugar beets and the ab­ sence of U at the proper season have been the causes of serious loss and dis­ couragement to growers.

WHAT UE EAT Is intended to nourish aud sustain us. but it must be digested and assimilated before it can do this. Iu other words, the nour­ ishment contained In food must be separ­ ated by lire digestive organs from the waste materials and must be carried by the blood to all parts of the body. We believe the reason for the great benefit which so many people derive from Hood's Sarsaparilla lies in the fact that this medi­ cine gives good digestion and makes pure, rich Diood. It restores tbe fauctions ofthose organs which convert food into nourishment that gives strength to nerves and muscles. It also cures dyspepsia, scrofula, salt rheum, boils, sores, pimplee aud eruptions, -.atarrh. rheumatism and all diseases that have thicr origin in impure blood. Sold by all druggists.

In somewhat desultory conversation on taxation mutters Attorney General Oren indicated that in bis judgment there are worse things than specific taxation of railroad property. The present tax sys­ tem was said to display numerous de­ fects to the careful student of taxation, and the opinion was expressed that the time would come when State and county taxation would Ire completely divorced. Fnder the present system the counties arc collecting tuxes and paying them to the State, while tbe State, on the other ■hand, is engaged, iu collecting' specific taxes and apportioning them among the counties. An- ideal and practical sys­ tem, it was suggested. would be for the counties to collect oniy such taxes as arc needed for local purposes, leaving the State government to derive its support entirely from specific taxes. One of the numerous benefit* to result from such a system would be the abolishment of the Alate equalization board and inequalities which result therefrom in apportioning the taxes among the counties. During the past few years, it i» alleged, the trespass laws of the State have been indifferently enforced. ■ Trespasses on State lands have been common, and while n large amount of tgespam fees have been collected many riolsfor* of the law* have escaped. l^ind Commisaioner Wildey propom* to try a new plan. In­ stead of one State trespass agent tjie commissioner will name three district (agents who will look after violations of the law*. Om- agent will have equal authority with the others, and they will all lie under the pereouul utipervivion ot the commissioner. The proposed method will not incrca**' the expense, but it is believed that It will greatly increase the efficiency of the work.

The young officer had not gone a dozen rods from the church before he saw the two Indians upon the opposite side of the •treet. He spoke to Peter, who was by hi-* ride, and asked him if he saw them. "Do not rtaf? at them so that they ran know that w. mistrust them,” he said. "I sec them.” the boy answere.]. "Be sure that you get a good view of them.

As Clarence passed the entrance he saw that they had stop­ ped. and were gazing after him. - HAPTER XTX. At length, as April opened with its warmer breath, Scott sent forth tha order for which the brave Loop* had been *o impatiently waiting, and the city was alive with the tramp of armed men and the notes of martial music. The Ameri­ can army, not much over ten thousand strong, were starting for the very center <tf a great nation. They wen* to meet end encounter one of the most bold and experienced generals of the age, at the head of troops nearly double their own uumlx-r, but they quailed not. The very spirit that animated them was a* a dou­ ble self to each particular man. and they | w.mt boldly, confidently, upon their way. In their lead« In*their leader they saw a man in whore skill and judgment they could fully rely, and while he looked dnuntle*»ly on they feared not to fullow. i First on tbe way came the stem and . rugged pa** of Cerro Gordo, where tbe Mexican army, under Santa Ana in per ren. was drawn up to dispute the pa*•age of our troops. Nature had fortified it. On one hand dashed a torrent down I through a deep ravine, and upon the oth- ; er aroM- rhe abrupt and seemingly itupassable mountain. But E— the sront place ..w«— — ____ ! fell beforev the iron cra-h-- <>f ‘Yankee str-1, and the doughty Mexican fled like ■ a frightened child. The Cerro was paw j nl, and with souls burning for another meeting ouy troop* pushed on. „ Gen. Worth moved on in advance to­ ward* Puebla, and met, the enemy at Anmaoque. After a sharp conflict he rented them completely, aud when he reached Puebla that city surrendered without resistance, and shortly afterward Scott 'joined him there. The heart of Clarenc* sank when he learned that the army were likely to remain at Puebla fur some time. Negotiation* were to be open<si between the two countries, and henre active boatilities ceased for the while. ' At first the impatient youth held the thought of pushing on alone, but it was a wild, fugitive thought, and lie quickly tonaqne* had come thus far, they would be likely to show-themselves again; «ud he wa* determined to apprehend them on the first opportunity. At last the heart of our hero whs made glad by th«? announcement, ou tbe sev­ enth of August, that the anny was to move ou. The bugle sounded once more, and again the impatient men commenced the tramp. Who. that has ever beard .tbe account, can forget the brilliant pn»Mjt at Contreras ou lhe twenth-rh of August? History docs not record n more wondrous victory than the one odj inibh; soldiiers gained here. The Amerienn eagle soared nloft over the hordes of Mexico, and the day was ui>u against such odds as would have made many * stout general quail and falter. Immediately afterwards followed the battle of Churubusco, where Banta Adm commanded in person, and where he had opportunity to employ bis whole, force. The Americau army had many natural difficulties to encounter: but with a confi­ dent impetuosity (bat was irresistible, they swept into tbe valley, and after a sharp engagement the day was won. The Mexicans fled in wild dismay, and sought shelter in the strongly fortified places in and about tbelr capital. And now followed another armistice. Scott gave the Mexlcap general another opportunity for peace. But ere long it was evident that Santa Ana was playing the, traitor; and when it was fully proved that he was employing the tttue of the armistke only in treachery, Scott gave the onM- for the capture of the great city. , . Then followed the brilliant feats at the Molino del Rey, and at the Carta Mata. These stronghold* were captured, and then our army swept on to.lhe hill and castle of Chapultepor. This was on the twelfth and thirteenth nf September; and though here, at the Inst stand-point, the Mexican* fought with all the bravery and recklessness .of despair, and though they outnumbered our funsw two to one, yet they were routed—horse, root and all: and the most valuable of all the muni­ tions of the nation were left in the hands of the victors. On swept the noble army to the city. During the night Santa Ana fled in the carriage of a friend to Guadalupe Hidal­ go, and anmidnight the rest of the offi­ cer* and troops commenced their flight to the north. On the following morning the ’ American army marehed into the city, and over the anrk-.ft balls of the Montezuma* waved rhe Star* aud Stripes of our glorious republic. It wa* a strange hour for the victors, and do won­ der. that they should feel a proud emotion as they reflected upon the work they had performed, and beheld the consummation ef their patriotic, endeavors. On rhe sixth day after entering the Mexican capital, Peter hastened to hi* master’s presence and informed him that he had seen the two Indians who had been 'pointed out to him in Vera Crux.

It was a bright, star­ light night, and the air was cool and balmy. They had rocured two noble borres, and with high hopes they passed out tbrongh tbe city gate and struck off to tbe westward. The road was wide and plain, and the way direct. "I t^ink wr have given them the slip now," said Peter, as they rode alnng over the even road. “F hdpe so." returned Clarence. But he spoke dubfrmriy. for the old fear was upon him. He knew that St. Marc was acquainted in Valladolid, aud hl1 felt that 'twoflld be nothing strange for the unnatural father to push on (or that city, even though it was only for a visit.

The production of winter wheat h estimated nt 350,925,400. bush­ els. aud spring wheat at 172,290.096 biixhtd*. the area actually harvested be­ ing 3ti.235.897 acre* in the former case and 1(1,259.188 acres In the latter. The winter wheat acreage, totally aban­ doned in Ohio, Michigan^ Indiana and Illinois, is Anally placed'- nt 3,522.787 acres, and the spring wheat acreage, totally abandoned In North Dakota and ■ South Dakota, nt 1.703.40" acres. The extraordinarily rapid rate nt which the 1 winter wheat acreage of Nebraska is gaining upon the spring wheat acre­ age of that State ha* necessitated a special investigation of the relative ex­ tent to which the two varieties were grown during the last year. The result of the investigation is that while no change is* called for In the total wheat figures of the State, 590,575 acres have been added to the winter wheat column at tbe expense of the spring variety.

Boruett. alias Evans, charged with using t£e mails in a scheme to defraud and of counter­ feiting, and who is believed by the gov­ ernment officers to be a member of a gang of counterfeiter* and "green-good/' men. whose headquarters are in New York City, nnd from whom scores of cir­ cular! have been sent through the coun­ try inviting fanners and others to come into the scheme. The only witness ex­ amined at the commissioner's hearing was Postoffice Inspector M. C. Duryea, who said that some time previous to Jan. 9 a letter was mailed to Lawrence Wheel­ er of Hazelton. Ind., a postoffice clerk. Inviting him to buy $3,000 worth of "green goods” by paying down $1,000. The letter was unsigned, but contained the direction: "If you care to engage in this business send a telegram, of which tbe following is a copy: *E. Maynard. Al­ lentown. Pa. Send Neal electric belt No. 122.’ ” Wheeler immediately report­ ed the matter to the postal inspectors. He sent the telegram, and soon received another letter which naked him to go to Allentown to receive the goods from, a man whom he should know by the pass­ word "Dayton." The letter was signed iu n stamp “Robert 11. Evans," nnd in­ closed u new $1 bill, presumably ns n sample of the notes furnished by the concern. The bill, however, was genuine. Insia*ctor Duryea went to Allentown and represented himself us Wheeler, aud soon had Barnett in custody. FIRE DESTROYS BIG STEAMER. City of Louisville la Burned at Benton Harbor, Mich.

Great Find of Manuscripts. The Russians, on occupying Mukden, the capital of Manchoorla. secured—In other words "looted"—a large quantity of very valuable Oriental MBS., which, by command of tbe Russian governmem. are being sent to St. I'etersburg in order to be submitted to a minute exnmiuatiou at the hands of the au­ thorities of the Imperial Library, says a St. Petersburg correspondent of the Ixindon Mall. Among the MBS. there should lie, ac­ cording to tbe view of the Russian expertB. many MSS. of Greek nnd German cIuhmIcs. which were plundered and carried away by the Mongols in their wnrs of devastation in Europe In the thirteenth century. Some European M'holant nave combated this theory, which wns put forward some years ago. The Mongols first became known aud feared in Europe by the conquests of Jenghlz and bls house in the thirteenth century. The Huns were tbe first wave of Mongols to burst over Europe. They even broke Into Italy. Before the mid­ dle of the thirteenth century the Mon­ gols had conquered al! Russia and Po­ land and all Eastern Europe., IJegnitx, the battle which left Europe helpless be­ fore the Mongols, was fought In 1241. but In any case tbe question is likely to be definitely settled at no distant date.

A i tiling has been made by Land Commtesiouer Hermann which will have im­ portant effect upon entry of public lands under what ia known ns the reservoir act. Tho ruling recites that "a declaratory statement, under the act of Jan. 13, 1897, does not withdraw the land covered thereby from other entry." Under ths act in question the Interior Department has heretofore’ he’d that declaratory statements absolved lands filed upon from other entry, and as by filing such declaratory ventemeut and tbe payment i of nonritfai fees 160 azres could be held ’ by entrymcn for two years before com­ mencing conatruction uf reservoirs or other improrenynts necessary to secure patent. Immense areas have been so se­ cured in western Kansas, Nebraska, Col­ orado, Wyoming and Utah by land-grab­ bing concerns to the cxriuwion of actual settlers. The department betieve* that opening lands taken trader this act to eutry under general land laws- will ma­ terially cheek the evil. A rare distinction h that enjoyed by Judge William Itidiardaon, who has bees chosen to succeed Gen. Joe Wheeler in Dongresu from ths State of Alabama. During the Civil War, when a mere boy, he was under sentence of death and nar­ rowly escaped the gallows. He had en­ listed in the Confederate army, been cap­ tured in his first battle aud taken to In­ diana as a prisoner of war. He escaped and. falling in with a Confederate spy, tried to make his way back through the Federal lines to the South. The spy. known'to the ouhride world only a* "Mr. Paul," was captured, and with him young Richardson. The boy was con­ demned to be hanged, as well as the older apy, wlu-n the Confederate general, Forrest, attacked the Union forces under Crittenden at Murfreesboro just in time to liberate the two condemned men. Richardamt went back tn Alabama, studied law after the war, bwatnt probate and county judge nnd now occupies Joo Wheeler's seat in Congress. The dLspatchiw from Manila tell of the deportation from that idund of several important gvucrah and lenders of the insurgents, who will be sent to Guam to reflect upon their fully. This is a new policy, aud tbe result of recommends tions from^ofllctra over there, who hava at least learned that the Filipinos dread exile more than imprisonment or even death. It is Mid that the natives ar* so attached to their island that emigra­ tion is unknown. Tbe knowledge of thia peculiarity has suggested banishment as a puniahment for the lenders of the inBurrcetion, aud die experiment will be tried.

THE GRIP EPIDEMIC Tbe grip has surprised tbe doctors and tbe health authorities this season by lie rapid spread and by some novel symptoms.

Super­ intendent Farrell announce# thatevery number will be strictly first-class ana equal to those on lecture and enter­ tainment courses of our larger cities. Lou. J. Beauchamp, who open# the course next Tuesday evening at the opera bouse, has been on the lecture El Biform for the last twenty year# and a# delighted the audience# of leading cities in every state in the union. His lectures are always full of eloquent, uplifting pathos and humor. The sub­ ject in which he will appear here, “The Sunny Side of Life," is one of hi# best lectures and one that i# sure to please all. The two musical numbers are both of the highest rank. Eugene Page, who lead# the Page Concert Copipany, enjoys the reputation of being the finest mandolin player in America, and his. company are air of the highest order of talent. Wherever they have appeared it ba# been with the greatest success and in most case# have made return engagements. The Imperial Ladies’ Quartet were recommended us one of the best ladies' quartet# In the country. In addition to the regular program of quartets, duets, solos, etc.. Miss Adelaide Nowek gives readings and panto­ mimes. Their program will consist entirely of popular songs. Fred High, who has the fourth and last number on the course, comes recommended a# one of the best dia­ lect humorist# of the day. To bear hi# Yankee, Irish, Scotch, Jewish, Negro and Chinese impersonation# is a# good as a trip abroad. He has an excellent buritone voice and no part of the program is more pleasing than hi# popular songs and negromelodies. In addition to tills he is considered one of the best ventriloquists in this country. His program is sure to be interesting to all who enjoy good, Hevating humor. The date# for the entertainments are as follows: Lou. J. Beauchamp Feb­ ruary 5, Imperial Ladies* Quartet February 28, Eugene Page Concert Company March 20, Fred High April 9. The tickets for the entire course will be sold for seventy-five cents, with twenty-five cents extra for reserving them for the course. Single admis­ sions will be sold at twenty-live cents for the first and last number# and thirty-five cents for the second and third numbers, with ten cent# extra if reserved. It is since rely hoped that the people of Nashville will show their apprecia­ tion of a good thing and make a some­ what more extensive course possible in the future. We are glad to be able to announce that a first-class piano will be used at these entertainments. Tickets will be on sale Friday after­ noon and can be purchased from mem­ bers of the committee or at J. C. Furniss' drug store, where seats will be reserved. C. F.

After a little persuasion in the way of a «10 bill.the youth became chummy with me, and agreed te steer me safely through ad­ venturous places and gaudy parlors, in which fair China maidens .held full sway and welcomed a stranger In with a bewitching smile. We left our hotel after nightfall and he led me through numerous places uf amusement, opium dens.saloons with pretty barmaids knd Fan-Tan layouts, and I must confess tn at Chinatown is the dirtiest hole in the United States. I visited a Chinese restaurant, not because I was hungry, but out of curi­ osity. Tho Chloes are good cooks, but I would prefer te see what they were cooking before I would venture to eat iu any of their hash-houses. A friend of mine said that he partook of a very good soup at a Chincsd res­ taurant. and when &>>ked of wnat it was made, the Chinaman’s answer was “lais.” That is their way oi pro­ nouncing “rate.” My friend said he found no fault for it was good soup! But every one to their own taste; I had rather be excused. The principal sights of th? city of San Francisco are tbe Golden Gate­ Park, which contains a thousand acres of familiar and rare trees, shrubs and flowers: the largest mint in the world, and tbecity’smagniflcent public buildings. The population of Frisco Is made up of many different races, representing nearly every nation of the world. After two weeks of sight-seeing my pocket book looked as though It had seen better days, so 1 imme­ diate! v began to look for work of some kind. I secured a position .us wtuward’s assistant on a coasting steamer that was making trips between Ln* Angeles and San Francisco. Cali­ fornia. Aeteria*, Oregon, Tacoma and Seattle. Washington, Victoria and Vancouver. British Columbia, and Sitka, Alaska. During my first trip to Alaska 1 thought I would leave the boat and try my luck at but upon inquiry as te the price of eatnbh-s in that country, I received a •hocK that wa* sufficient to scare a “tenderfoot” out uf a year’s growth, and concluded that I would stick to my iob on th*- boat as long as I had a clneb on three “square**” per day, and a bunch of money besides. 1 made several trips lietween Ix»s Angeles and Sitka, and must say that it is a nice trip, especUHv if the weather is fine. We kept just far enough out te sea so that we nsd a grand panoramic view of the long range of mountains on the coast, dotted with small bam lets and tillages. It was truly a grand sight to behold. When I quit the boat in Sun Fran­ cisco 1 hud grown a little bit homesick, and as bad I earned quite a sum of money on the boat. I resolved tecome home at once.

VALLEY FORGE TO BE A PARK. All of the young students of American history will be glad to know that the house iu which Gen. Washington had his headquarters at Valley Forge is to be preserved if possible as a historical mon­ ument of the Revolutionary day*. The building, which has fallen into decay, is to be thoroughly repaired, care being taken not to change any of its features er destroy its v/merable look. Some of the rooms will be fitted up as a museum tor Revolutionary and colonial relics. . If the plans are fully, carried out the land around-the house known as the Val­ ley Forge estate will l>c constituted a na­ tional park, to which fll! chilldrcn con go and renew their'memories of the early history of their land. It was Valley Forge that witnesscil the hardest times of our struggle for liberty. Here Wash­ ington underwent his severest trials; here the American troop* passed that Urrible winter, half starved and poorly elad, many without shoe*, and their movements aboub camp could be traced by blood-markril footprints, while the British troops in Philadelphia were en- .

It is only in looking back from the Im­ inen*e present upon the huirtble past that the vastness uf Washington's work can be properly appreciated. , The foumlations that he Inid still firmly support th* mighty structurv that has risen upon them, although-it seems imposaible that he could hiive foreseenjhe immensity of the results which were* to follow his effort*. But that he did see grand posslbilities for'the poor little republic which, nftet patient erfort and ta the face of heart-breaking discouragements be fatbered, is clearly shown in bis public ntterances. Washington was not one ot those who “builffed wiser than ire knew." In bi* mind the glory and the fntur* power of the United States were certain. It was no Hpeciilatiou. no nothingto-loso-ahd-all-to-gain venture with him, and the prophetic vision that be aoema to have had was no doubt responsible fog the firmness of the base upon which our government rests. It is fitting, therefore, that the'nalion-should do him honor. It is well that schools should have special exercises on his birthday—that the children of th* land should thn« be impressed with th* splendid character of the mln and the fitness of doing tarn honor. It is well, too, that commerce should in a measure be suspended; that-the public should see fit occasion for patriotic demunstmtions, ami it. would be well if every citizen Could devote at least a part of the day to a study of Washington's life and achievements.

Mary Washington, mother of George, lived until she was SR ygars old, and died only ten years before her son.- She is chiefly remembered from her proud title of "Mother of Washington.” Her influence U|»on the development of his character in youth ami early manhood seems to have been slight, for he was not at home much after he was 14 years old. He never claimed his share of his fath­ er’s estate, which was in her possession, and he gave her direct support during much of her life. Wasbtagtqp was hurt deeply by a proposition made in the Vir­ ginia Assembly to give his mother a pen­ sion. and at his earnest request the pro­ ceedings were stopped. He was devoted­ ly attached to his stepchildren, ami trented them with the greatest kindness.

' “Don’t cook fish till you catch them, mother,” answered Hetty, placidly. “You’ve been swallowing wine of Dan­ ny’s yarn*. *F ihouid think Uy this time yoa’d know better than to believe any­ thing that boy says, except that he’* .hungry or don't want to wash himself." "Wasn't it trne that you and John Cameron had a merlin* up on the ‘Backbooe* to-day? Wasn’t he waiting there for you to come along?" "He was waiting, certainly, but hardly as a matter-of cbqice, 1 think, or for me," replied the girt yith a little laugh. And then she weiit on to narrate the facts of Jack’* mishap* and her share in his rescue, without remembering, how­ ever. anything about the shooting, ail traces of which she had, on her way home, taken care to hide from casual ob­ servation. While she was telling th* story, her mother and Mary Elder kept up n running commentary- of exclama­ tions: “Did you aver!" '■ "If that don't beat nil!" Danny, bring hungry, had better use for his mouth than talking with It, btit-bg the knowing grins und leers with which he tavdred iletty, he sorely tempted her to box hi* ears. Tbe girfa vivid recital of John Cam­ eron's peril quite won her mother's sym­ pathetic interest, for Mrs. Mulveil was ut heart a kind, well-meaning woman, wishing ill to none, eveii to a Cameron, so long an the old faction grudge did not happen io be stirred up. But the story had a keener interest for Mary Elder, who, bring a clear-sighted girl, naw what tthe widow did not perceive, or even suapect. Soon after aupprr, Danny—in his cus­ tomary stat* of rebellion and angry di* gust with the familiar assurance that it would be bard enough to get him up in the morning, even if be went now, was driven off to his bed in the loft. Then tbe three women abandoned themselves to the ecstatic delight of an 'untrammeled conversational revel -over tbe subject of dress. Mary Elder was a •killful dressmaker, who made, or, at least, cot and fitted, the best gowns of half tbe yril-to-do women in that part of the oountry. The whole year round •be was in demand, and sure of enthusi­ astic welcome at any one of fifty farm houses. All the latest fashions known in Pittsburg she could be depended upon for supplying, aud she was a treasure­ house of knowledge concerning all the new things the most stylish women iu the county had or contemplated having. And she was prudent withal. Every wardrobe or individual garment reported by her waa presentetTln its best light. A thing "turned" or "made over" to look like new, from her point of view, waa new. Rhe betrayed no secret*. It was not necessary that she should do so to make her new* interesting or establish her position an an authority. . At length, Mrs. Mulveil, having yawn­ ed until her jaws cracked, declared ah* could sit up no longer, and went off to bed. Hetty "covered” the big fire in the grate by piling upon it u large quantity of the finely broken coal called "slack,’.' which melts into a crust during the night, and at tbe first touch of 'the matutipal early poker bursts into n mas* of roaring flame. Then she and Mary sat down to­ gether before the ‘fireplace, in the half­ light cast from between the lower bars of the grate, and. with thrir arms about each other, talked in low tones. “You told me. something you did not tell your mother, deu,” *aid Mary, draw­ ing younger friend close to her. “Why. not How so? Wh*tT’ "That yoff were In Jove with John Cameron.” "Why. Mary! •Ik!” "Oh, don't try _ ~ _____ I’m .enough old*.- than you to read th/ •ignx. You can't help telling >-<|n/ lore or letting it tell itaelf. Your voice would make it known If -you were only talking about the weather; and if you are silent, your happy ryes will laugh it out to th* world: and If you shut them tight, th* flan*“ in your cheek* will tell tbe story, a* it doe* now.” •'Th^’ta only th* red firelight.” "Goq grant the fir* that light come* from :#ay never die down in aahes." "Oh, Mary! How you «ay that?" than you d<» yet what lov* is; bow happy or bow wretched one may be made £* it” Hetty shuddered, and foe. a few min­ ute* both were silent, looking nt the fire. and larger each In Its inrn sirddenly bunting into a bright but generally only momentary blase. Rometisnes the fltfm* would catch the gas rising in slender columns ut dark smoke from where the "alack*’ lay thickest, and for an instant prodnce «n effect like a diminutive dlaplay of "beat lightning/* Again it would persist for a longer time, a^-much as a minute or two, in a long, slender, tongue of hissing, golden light. .No two bub­ bles acted exactly, alike, either in forma­ tion or transformation. And a pretty picture those fitful Illuminations made of the homely but cheerful kitchen interior, every detail of which waa brought out by theyn In most vivid relief. The bright utensils .of tin and. copper shone like' burnished silver and gold*,' the old dark oak table took on a mahogany-colon the full moon-face on the dial of the oldfashioned tall dock assumed an expres­ sion of intelligent consciousness; weird shadows danced among strings of bril­ liant scarlet peppers pendant from the celling; and even the blue mandarin, with its blue suite, crossing a blue bridge from a blue forest to a blue pagoda, on the great dishes reposed on the shelves, was brought out clearly en evidence and look­ ed pretty rather than preposterous. But these were not the sights.that Hetty and Mary saw. Tbe fire elemeutals’ magic weight other pictures for them. At length the seamstress resumed, speaking in a’low, sad yoice, haraly louder than a murmur in'a minor key: “You don’t know how much older than you I am, dear, both in years and in sorrow. • Maybe I do not look my age. They aay that those who don't care, do not grow old so fast as those who do. nud I guess that must be so. 1* don't care.' I have nothing left to care for. But I have bad my romance, and buried it before you were put-tato long.Jrocks. It was in Pittsburg, where I went when 1 was only a slip of a girl to learn dress­ making, and where I lived ns you know, a good many years. Well, I was engag­ ed to be married there to a young man named Grant Guthrie. He was a machinigx. and I can’t tell you how hand­ some aiid good he was and how dear to me. And be loved me, too. Yes. I am sure he did—in a man's way, though. He was nil 1 thought o* or cared for. and. having him, f would not have been con­ scious that I desired anything else. But. besides me. he loved glory and his coun­ try, and he had ambition to make a name for himself and fortune; so nothing would do for him but he must enlist in the ar­ my and go away to Mexico.” ■ She stopped speaking for a few min­ utes. When she went on again, her voice trembled, and a sudden flare of firelight showed that tears were standing in her eyes. She continued: "He was going to become a colonel, per­ haps a general. Then he would return home a hero, marry me and go to Con­ gress and be a great man. The one thing be never thought of was that be might not lire to come back—arid he never did! He was shot down by Mexicans in one of the first battles, and only lived long enough to give a comrade his dying mes­ sage to me; and he is buried far away in a land 1 shall never see.” Her voice broke, and she wept without an effort nt constraint. Hetty embraced her, kissed her brow, patted her shoul­ der as one soothes a sorrowing child, and murn|-.ired, caressingly: "There, there, dear! Don't take on so, don’t! Maybe it is all for the best.” "Yes.” eobbed Mary, doubtfully; "that is what the minister says—that 'all Is for the best'—but 1 can hardly make up my mind that he is right.” “And don’t you believe there will ever come a time when you will be with him again?" “Not in this world, anyway; and this is all we really know anything about." ■ “But 1 think 1 should try to hope so, if 1 were you.” "So. I do; so I do. But, oh, it. Is so hard to believe iu tbe light of another world that sends no rayUuto the gloom of this! There, there! Don't let us talk any more about my old story. Bury it in your heart, as I do in mine; only, If you ever recall it, let it be to warn you not to hope for too much happiness from love. And now, dear, tell me about yourself. Does John love yon?" "Oh, he has never said a word of love to me. Indeed, we hardly ever spoke be­ fore to-day. 1. suppose that miserable old quarrel between rfie Camerons and the Mulveil* kept him from seeing me." "But not you. from seeing him?" “N-no. T looked ai him sometimes; enough to know him by sight, anyway." Mary smiled at the naivete of tbe ad­ mission. "But, now that he has seen you, hbw does he look at you? As if Ik- loved JMr “1 hardly know.” answered Hetty, with a little embarrassed laugh. "You see, I have no experience" to judge by; but I— I think—yes.” "Then I guess he does." The heart does not need experience to read that look. It ia trne that some men can lie with their eyes, as other* can with their tongues, but I do not think John Cam­ eron is one of that sort. No. he is ot good, honest, manly stock. .And I can speak impartially about that, for, you know, my family is mixed up with both the Camerons and the Mtrivrils." “But more to tbe Camerons. You would take np for them first.” . “Why! You savage litfle-ptrtiaan! I believe you are disposed to find fault with me for speaking well of a Cameron!" "Oh, no. no. Indeed! I am for one Cameron against the world.” CHAPTER V. The tax for keeping tbe public roads in repair was, in thore days, payable either in money or labor, and the latter method was generally preferred in the ag­ ricultural diMrict*. This fact was. how­ ever, by no means attributable to In­ ability of the farmers to pay cash, or ed' continuously, slowly swriltag larger because they bad a prejudice against future. * , On tbe surface of the meltloc mass ;of rich bittxminous coal near tbe front— where it was thinnest piled and most readily acted upon by the fierce heat be- A sort of tacit understanding, borfi of habit, prerailed, a* to th*' implement* and tools each man should bring to th* work, bo that a|l were amply provided with axes, shovel*, jdek-nxe*. cant-books, handspike* aud hoes. Some came with team* and plows or bob sled*,, to run drainage furrows 'at tbe sides of th* road or drag heavy weights. . The first comers assumed ’the right to banter later .arrival* upon their tardl’ good-naturedly taken and replied to by a keen rejoinder, until., finally, the ’ Inst comer, a young fellow who had but re­ cently been married, was mad* tbe sub­ ject for so lively a general attack as over­ whelmed him and made him sullen for a time, hl* wit being no match fur th* as­ sembled township. With few exceptions, the people in’that part of W^shiugtun County then were of Bcoteh-rrisb ex­ ' traction, and their humor was of the dfy, biting, sly sort peculiar to that breed of jokers; keenly 4»ffec‘lve as ottered, bnt almost impossible of even approxiaiat«jy fair reproduction in cold type. Words of innocently simple purjwrt were .convert­ ed' into bUrbedT and envenomed darts ut meaning by an arch look, a suggestive in-, tonation or, .oftener yet, by thrir covert allusion to some purely persohal matter which had become popular knowledge. Soon all were busy at work. Th* echoes were alirred by th* ringing sounds of ax strokes and the shouts of the'Jlrjvera to their horses. Young squirrels, high up in the oak and hickory tree*, yelped Inquiries to tbeir elders as to what they thought of. tbe strange proceeding* going ou away below; and the wise ones barked back that, strange a* it was true, no pres­ ent barm to the squirrel race was threat­ ened. inquisitive crows, having thor­ oughly' satisfied themselyes, by sharp ob­ servation from a safe disianct, that there were no guns near at "hand, came impu­ dently close, perched over the merry­ makers' heads arul cawed down tbeir ^eriticisms upon what was going on. Th* horde of dogs accompanying their mas­ ters. having formally opened the cere­ monies. in conformity with ancient cus­ tom. vith n promiscuous free fight, came to an amicable understanding with on* another, and. joining forces in pursuit of minks, rabbits and chipmunks, made tbe forest ring with tbeir hunting chorus**. At noon tbe men suspended their work, and the <k>gs temporarily abandoned their bootless hunting. Each man ha<j brought hi* dinner with him. and in a sunny spot, well sheltered from the wind, they all sat down .near together to vat and chat. The entente cordialc among the dogs was violently ruptured in their eager rivalry for the first bones thrown them, but re­ established upon their general recognition that their masters w*r® leaving to them much more food than they could devour. After quickly -finishing their meal, th* younger men, to kill time during the re­ maining portion’Of the dinner hour, enter­ ed into a series of competitive con testa of strength and skill, “putting" a heavy stone, "toasing the caber." jumping and throwing stones ^at a mark. In each of there exercises the competitors gradually but surely dropped out until but iwo were left, John Cameron and Rufus Goldie, between-whom there was a strong feeling of rivklry that spurred them to efforts far beyond those of their fellows. It was not simply personal but rather the concentration to two focal points of the antagonism long existent between those opposing factions, the Camerons and the Mulyeil*. By insensible degrees, frd.n the time Hufus came to live iu this ueighborhood. he and John had grown into prominence as the very nearly matched champions of tbe young mm who. according to trnditionn.l duty, were keeping alive the ancient grudge of thrir ancestors. Yet Rufus was not exactly a Mulveil, but only, “related to them.” ills connection was admittedly no closer than that bls mother's first busband, who waa n Beaselvy—she being n McBride—had a brother married to a girl who half­ brother took one of tbe Baker girls to wife, and everybody knew that tbe Bak­ ers were related to the Mulrrils from "away back,” though few could tell ex­ actly how. That was the wny in which most of the old women figured out his “distant cousinship," though there were some who claimed to have found connec­ tion In another way, through the Clan­ cy*—a claim against which much eonld have been, and was. said, without reach­ ing any certitude. At ali event*, he was recognized as a relative and wricon»e«l a* nr. adherent ot the Mulvells. But he was a "ne’er-do-well." working pretty faith­ fully at Sim Mulveil'* sawmill or on bis farm, but never, somehow, accumulating anything for himself, not even acquiring poiresudon of a saddle horse. It wa* whispered tbst be gambled.. Of course. well known that he worked jn Pittsburg several months before coining out to Washington County to live, five year* ago, and the contamination of city life wa* beyond question. Every one had’ to admit, however, that be was a good-look­ ing young fellow, lacking in the open frnnkneas of countenance that character­ ized John Cameron, but with a fine ath­ letic figure, regular feature* and a hand­ some head of straight hair, black a* coal.

President McKinley han sent to Ha­ vana what virtually amounts to >an ulti­ matum to the Cuban constitutional con­ vention. Tbe President intimated to the Caban* that unless they formulated satis­ factory relation* between Cuba and the United States it would be impoaii-bl* for him to send tbe constitution to tbe Amer­ ican Congress with bis approval. The President* telegram was sent to Gov. Wood, and was so drawn as to avoid hurting the tender sensibilities of tbe Cu­ ban*. It pointed out the overwhelming importance ot close relations between! he two government*, tbe friendly feeling to­ ward Cuba whit-h exists everywhere ia the United States, and the responsibility which rireninstances hare thrust upon this country in connection with the fu­ ture of tbe island republic. The President urged tbe Cubans to take note ot these fact* snd to comply with the wish of their friends ia tbe United States and frame an expression of their views of the relation* which should exist between the two countries. The sting of the cornmimieatlon waa found in its tail—in the Intimation that If the .Cubans wish to secure independenes of the island government they wiki have to accept.tbe fatherly advice of the United $tates. The announcement of policy, which was mapped out at the conference be­ tween Secretary Root and Senators Platt of Connecticut and 'Spooner, members of tbe Cuban relations committee, is bas­ ed on the principle that the United States is to be the guarantor ami protector of Cuba. It demands the recognition of the Monroe doctrine as applied .to Cuba, and prohibits acquisition of territory by any foreign power. Cuba is enjoined against mortgaging tbe island to any foreign pow­ er,'end must give tbe United States all facilities for enforcing its policy, aa against a foreign government, or aa. against the Cubans themselves. Tbe right to establish three coaling stations, at Ha­ vana, Santiago and Cienfuegos. is exact-, ed; aud permission to maintain at least a part of |be United States military force now on the island. The indepen­ dence of Cuba is not to be assailed, arid the United States is'to assist hef in es­ tablishing a stable government. “ FRANCHISE TAX HELD LEGAL.

The larger and plumper seed gives the most vigorous growing plant. It stools put more, usually Inis a stiffer straw, if It is not forced by use of too rank a fertilizer, by which we mean one too. rich in nitrogen, and therefore the bet­ ter the crop. But there are other things desirable In a good grain crop. One Is to secure large heads well filled, and It may also be desirable to have the grain igrow rapidly and mafure early either rto obtain, the best rwralt la a short aeanon or to eaeupc Insect attacks. The |l>egt way to becure this would be to se­ lect tlie earliest maturing large beads to <»e found and reserve them for seed. *rhe-fnrmer who sows largo areas may think this too touch trouble to get all the seed he-needs, but he should rvtbember that if there ia a profit In doing so for one acre there would bp a greater profit In doing so on a hundred. A inodIflcatton -of this plan Is to select in this way enough to sow a small plot very thiii. so that each plant will have a chance to do it* best, atol then reserve a piece wf /the boat land to sow that on It to produce seed wheat.’* A continua­ tion of thia-process for- a few years . would result In the’production of an extra early, hardy and prolific wljeuL IpsiDg from fawns to four yrare old.

The defendant is Samuel- Moser, who last May murdered, his entire family, consist­ ing of his wife and three sous. Moser is the son of Benedict Moser, a man worth >100,000 and a leader among the Amish people. The elder Moser refused to aid in his son’s defense, declaring that lawsuits are against the ’ princi­ ples of the church. ’ In an Amish com­ munity the' church expects to regulate the conduct of its members. One of their character!*tics is that they do not believe in the expression of emo­ tion in any way. and it is In connection with this peculiarity of. their belief that Moser got into trouble with the church, which led to his expulsion, to persecution, 'according to his statementa. and eventu­ ally to crime of a most horrifying nature. One Sunday, in church, he dandled his child on his knee and caressed it, to stop its restlessness. He. was rebuked for this "Idolatry" by the preacher am! later told to confess his fault before the con­ gregation- He refused and was expelled. Then, he claims, persecution began.

It has been three years since 258 sail­ ors oh the United States navy went to the bottom of Havana .harbor v^ith the wreck of the battleship Maine, nnd on •the third anniversary of that event a con­ tract was signed for the raising of the wreck. The N. F. Chamberlain company of Chicago will undertake tlie work. A little over two years ago, when the question of raising the wreck was first’ seriously broached Mr. Chamberlain con­ ceived a plan for raising the wreck of the Maine, as well as that of the grounded Spanish transport Alfouso XII. He 1m1 mediately organized a company nnd set to work to perfect the details of the task. Mr. Chamberlain then proposed -to rnl*e both the wrecks, of the Maine and the Alfonso for salvage, agreeing at the same time to pay the government 3. per cent of the not proceeds and guaranteeing the return of all personal property of the crew that should be recovered. The gov­ ernment notified the company that the proposition was acceptable and with the approval of the bond and the attachment of the official signatures the company is now ready to-begin work. The plan which Mr. Chamberlain has adopted for the Maine is tbe building of an immense cofferdam-around Jhe w*reck. Tho dnm will be eighty feet broad at the base ami wide enough nt the top for a safe wagon road. The Incline will be. on the inside. Bundles of brush thirty feet long, weighted with stone,-will first bo let down all around the wreck. Upon this dirt and gravel will be dumped, forming a comparatively water-tight foundation. Stone, brush, dirt and gravel will then be alternated until the wreck is completely surrounded by a dam forty-Qvc feet high. Pumping engines will be put to work ns soon as the dam is completed and the wreck Cleared of water. A well will be dug inside the dnm. into which the bilge water can -run, and the work of retriev­ ing the wreck will then be fairly lujgun. One hundred tous of brass and brouze, together with the engines nnd’the protec­ tive armor of the Maine, will be the prop­ erty of the Chamberlain company. The cost of doing the work outlined by Mr. Chamberlain is estimated at >75,000. RURAL MAIL ROUTES. TIIF. MOSKK HO5IK his wife ami children were away from him al) day Inng Sundays at the church.

Though Uncle Sam is always obliging and ever ready to cater to the wants of rural resident^ yet he expects the rural mail system to be patronized to such an extent fis not to detract from other de­ partments .of the postofllce service. Contrary to the usual idea, postoffice business.is computed on the basis of the amount of stamps ^canceled and not on the number of letters, postnls and pack^ ages delivered frojn the office. Hence it will bo seen that if bn a certain rural route 2.000 pieces of msII wore delivered in a month and tbe carrier on that route received uo letters and cancelled no stamps, the route would be considered from the point of view of the business end of the postal department, as n com­ plete failure. The purpose of the new order requir­ ing a report of the amount of business originating on each rural route is to as­ certain which of the routes are paying, and which.are operated at a loss.

From Port Tampa 1 secured passage on A lumbar schooner bound lor Mo­ bile, and finally arrived in that div ip time to witness the annual Mardi'Qraa Carnival. ” The Ma.-di Gras Carnival 1* one of the most important celebration* in the south, and it annually attract* thousands of visitors from all parts of America. Mardi Gras literally meansfat Tuesday.” The celebra­ tion generally commences on French Shrove Tuesday, the Tuesday preced­ ing Ash^Wedncsday, the first day of Lent, and generally lasts'*for two or three day*. .Mardi Gra^ was former­ ly celebrated in the cities of Rome and 'Faris only, but was introduced in New Orleans In 1857. and la tfbw celebrated annually in the cities of New Orleans, Louisiana, Mobile, Alabama, and Pensacola, Florida. The Mardi Gras in our southern cities is -under tbe direction of the “Mystick Kre»e,” a secret organiza­ tion composed of professional and business men who belong to the “ upper 400.” Durifig Mardi Gras the bustdcs* places are beautifully decorated ■ with flags and bunting, .and on the principal streets may be seen thou* and* of colored incandescentlights, forming beautiful-arches. “King Rex,” the king of the carni­ val, is chosen from the “Mystick Krewe.”-. The king enters the city, generally by boat, on the day preced­ ing. Shrove Tuesday. The boat which brings “King'Rex”tothecity is beauti­ fully decorated and artistically painted in slher and gold. The coming of the king to tbe city ia announced by a salute fired from a man-of-war in tbe harbor. Every year the government sends a battleship to New Orleans, a cruiser to Mobile, and 4 gunboar to Pensacola for the express purpose of participating in the Mardi GrasCarnivals of those three cities. When the king leaves the boat he is assisted to mount a !ed-hon*e. and tnen with his body guard, the “Kretfe of Comus,” the “Krewe of Proteus,” the ‘ ‘ Krewe of Momus,” and the “Krewe of Nereus,”.escorted by the marines from tlie battleship, a regiment of soldiers and the city s mounted police, he makes a tgiumphal march through the city to the public square. The whole city is then turned ovar to “King R**x.” and the minor police regulations of the city are suspended. The queen of the carnival is then crowned. It is generally noon before tbe ceremonies of the “Mysticks” are perform«d and the crowd thendisperse for dinner. Therfe is nothing special to attract the crowd’s attention io the afternoon, with the exception of the parade of “horribles” in which the participants are about the worst that ever hap­ pened. Tbe side-shows and street fakirs also manage to rake in a few dimes from the “reuben from tlie country.” ■ In the evening there is a grand par­ ade, .consisting wholly of floats which portray noted scenes ot history, poetry and fiction. These flout* are built at a great expense and are works of artistic elegance. These beautiful floate'are brilliantly illuminated with colored tableaux lights. You can only imagine something of their eleganre when you con*ider tlie great length of time spent in making these floats. To maintain such a vast system of scenic pageantry, which changes in all its features with each succeeding year, a great number of artists and'skilled workmen are kept constantly employed in manufacturing the paraphernalia and trappings for these greatexhibite. Designers, decorators,, workers in papier-mache, carvers, trimmers, painters and costumers are called into requisition, and. the extensive fac­ tories aud store bouses where these properties are made and kept would astonish an observer. They, however, are entirely concealed from prying eyes, and are accessible onlv to the initiated. The several associations which pro­ vide and maintain these splendid dis­ plays are strictly secret organizations, and whatever may be conjectured, the mystery which surrounds them has Dever been successfully penetrated. There is gen'-rally a grand masked ball each evening of the carnival. These balls arc the principal society events of Mardi .Gras, and amid scenes of indescribable splendor the subjects of “King Rex” hold a brilliant revel.

Yours to pleaw, THOS. A. WELSH. A FAH1UAR FALSEHOOD. When a customer seeks to purchase some well-known, widely- advertised, standard article, and the dealer tries to sell him something eiseclaimingtne offered substitute to be “just as good,’’ that dealer is frailty of a flagrant falsehood. If the substitute were just^w good it would sell on its own meritsandwouTd be called for by customers instead of having to be unloaded upon them by means of falsehood and deceit. TJjje very fact of thecom parison “just as good/’ jlroves lheeJaimtobeuntrue. We measure up,notdown. We measure the less by the greater, not the greater by the less. When, therefore, some unknown or little known article is ranged up for measurement by a wellknown standard article, the very fact of such measurement and comparison, stamps the substitute as a leaser thing than the standard article with which it is compared. Hut this is only half the truth. By this we prove the claim “iustas good” to be a falsehood, but the extent of that falsehood1 it is impossible to esti­ mate. “Jqst as good” means, in gen­ eral, adulteration in place of purity, an uncertain quality instead of a cer­ tain quality, cheap material instead of good material. And beyond all this the adulterants diay be not simply make-weights and cheats, but in somu. cases may he dangerous poisons. When the dealer says “just as good” ask vounwlf “just as good”forwhom? You will find in tbe answer to that question the motive of substitution, which is the extra profit paid tlie dealer by .the substitutes and imita­ tions of standard wares. Practically the dealer says, when practicing the gentle art of substitution, “This is ‘just as good’ for you, because it is a great deal .more profitable for me, and anything is good enough for you which increases my profits.’' of sending out invitations to ladies, who are not mexnbers'of the union, in­ viting them to the meetings.

A search was commenced at once. James HulU is a wealthy farmer worth $100,­ 000, and it is thought the daughter was taken for a ransom.

CLOCK A GOOD DETECTIVE. At tbe Instance of the united States government the powers have accepted the 'principle that no further individual eoncessions of territory in China shall be ■ought or qbt«ined ’by any one power without international aaaent. This agree­ ment applies not only to Tien-tain, where there has been some rivalry exhibited in the effort to obtain. concession# for for­ eign settlements, but to all other Chinese points. According to a Washington correspon­ dent, the State Department began this movement sbme time ago. it is surmised, though no admission on that point can be obtained, that the occupation by Rus­ sia of the important concession opposite Tien tsin, including the railroad termi­ nus, caused the initiation of thia move-, meet. However, it was realized that it might be v««ry difficult to deal with a wparate case, because thereby national pride might lie aroused. But it was conceived that all of the powers might be willing to subscribe to a general principle which promised upon its face to maintain tbe rights of all against selfish individual ef­ forts. ■ The conjecture was well founded, for after the department had addressed eatb of the powers on the subject the answers received from not only a majority, but neariy all of them—and certainly a suffi­ cient number to insure the execution of the plan—were nn acceptance of the American principle. So hereafter, if any one nation seeks to secure room fpr its individual settlemcnla or like privileges in ports or elsewhere in China, the appli­ cation must be approved by the other powers before the Chinese government Will be permitted to aaXent, even if it desired to do so. ■ It is believed nt the State Department that the Chinese acquiescence in the de­ mands of the ministers covers also' the additions to the punishment program made by the ministers on Feb. 8.- These provide for the degradation and exile of Chao Chi Chao and Ying Lien and death* for Prince Chwung. the chief of the Box­ ers* society. letter official information from Minis­ ter Conger was received that th«-*Chinese government had consented to- order Prince Chwang to commit’ suicide, to de­ grade and banish Prince Tuan and Duke Lan and to inflict some punishment, yet to be determined, on Chi Tsu and Hsu Cheng Yu. * . While MlnJater Conger does not say that the action of- the Chinese govern­ ment is thoroughly satisfactory, it is in­ ferred that it is. At any rate, the cause for the hostile movement against SingnnFu has been removed. A Pekin dispatch says that the Euro­ pean and Chinese necretnrWs of legations nnd other# who have lived in Chinn for years consider that China hns gained a victory, ns the only man the court-has to behead is Yu listen. The other’two are in the hands of- the Japanese, and could be beheaded when their execution ■Is wanted. Suicide is no disgrace what­ ever in the eyes of the Chinese. No one' believes Gen. Tung Fit Hsiang will ever puffer punishment. People In Pekin say Chinese imperial edicts are very unstable documents, espe­ cially when private edicts to the execu­ tive officials accompany the public edict;. A recent decree ordered all the indicated officials to commit suicide, yet, it Is evi­ dent. a secret edict was sent instructing ■ the persons implicated not to obey. What 1 proofs it is asked, is there now tbatVhe terair of the decree will be carried out? until Tuasday.

They generally spend the winter fn California or .Florida, where they work at picking and pack­ ing oranges and lemons. From here . they travel to Louisiana and Arkan­ sas, generally arriving in these state* in time to pick the early spring straw berries.- After the strawberry season is over they travel northward to Illi­ nois and Wisconsin, reaching these states In timeforciierry-plcking. After this job Is finished they then go to Michigan to pick raspberries, black­ berries and peaches. From Michigan they travel to- New York> arriving there in plenty of time for In.^-picking. They generally remain in New York until the hop. grape and applepicking is finished, after which they start for New Jersey to pick cranberries. After the cranberry season closes they tiien atari south again to remain through the winter. Many hoboes make this same cirfcuit every year, so my readers can rre that there are at least 's few industrious people who “hittheroad."

The only portion saved was the cast wing occupied by the warden, the chapel nnd a small reserve cellroom.

The alarm wa* immediately given, convict*, guards nnd employe* aroused nnd nn tt[c |x*ar telephoned the Lincoln fire depart­ ment fur help. The convicts were or.dered to clothe themselves, and iu tlfeir prirou garb, marshaled into the huge court yard, where’they were fornic'd in a long double line to the number of near­ ly 300. under the espionage of n score of armed guards, patrolling on tbe top'of the wall surrounding the yard.

Aside from the Porto Rlran and Ha­ waiian nets tb«.Fifty-«ixth CongreM hai passed a financial law establishing a per­ manent gold reserve of about $150,000,­ 000, fixing the ratio between gold and ■Hvcr and reorganizing the bonding and tha banking systems uf the.treasury, re­ organizing the United Suites army on a basis of 100,000 met.; reapportioning the representation in Congress on tLc basis of the twelfth renaua; giving “free homes" on tiie Indian lands; providing tor government ' participation' . in the Lonitinna purchase exposition in 1903, as well a* many other -pleasures. But the Congrcaa closed, without final action on tha Nicaraguan, canal bill, the shipping subsidy bill, the Pacific cable bill and the oleomargarine bill. * The appropriation* reach an unusually large figure, aggregating for the two ses■lon* approximately $1,457.2^9,1.57. This ia about $110,000,000 les* than the aggre­ gate appropriations of. the preceding Con­ gress,-which, however, covered the period of tha Spanish war, when the apflrbpria-. tions ran in a single year up to $81)3,231,­ 615. Tbe totals for the last two sessions, as summarized by Chairman Cannon of the House committee on appropriations, is as follow*: Appropriations, first seaaion, including sinking fund, ’ $710,150,­ 802; appropriations, second session, in­ cluding sinking fund, $747,118,505. ' The act rcurganitins the army and placing the military estnbllahment on a permanent basis probably is the most im­ portant’ pleca of general legislation en­ acted during the session. Instead of planning, for a temporary extension ot .the volunteer system. Secretary Root de­ vised a. measure for a complete reorgan­ ization of tbe army on modern military Unea, with a mnxiniym force of 100,000 men and a minimtfm ot about 63,000. A* finally enacted the army bill provide* a ■landing army to consist of fifteen regi­ ments <>t cavalry, k corps of artillery, thirty regiments ot infantry, one lieuten­ ant general, aix major generals, fifteen brigadier generals and the 'usual* staff corps. • The old regimental organization of the artillery is discontinued. Author­ ity is given the President to enlist na­ tives of tinwhen necessity requires, not tp exceed 12,000 men. A provisional regiment ot Porto Ricans also Is provided. A feature of the act is the prohibition of the Bale of beer, wine or any intoxicatiug liquur* in any post, ex­ change, canteen or trapsport. The financial legislation has been ..of umiKual importance, und has placed on the statute books tbe law establishing the gold standard, providing for the re­ demption nnd rldssue of the lb teres tbenring bonded obligations of the United States, establishing a permanent gold re­ serve of ^150,000,000, regulating national banks and making numerous provisions respecting circulation and the tax on cir­ culation. This measure-was drafted by leaders of both bouses prior to the meet­ ing of CoDgrcss nnd became a caucus measure. After its passage some ques­ tion arose as to tbe maintenance of the parity of the metals under the terms of the bill. Bills to rectify this feature hnv« been reported,’ specifically, requiring, the exchange ot gold for standard silver dol­ lars. No action ha* been taken on them, however. The revenuerdegtelntion of the Congress has been confined to an effort to reduce (he taxation imposed when the war with Spain began. The act approprintibg to the several States their representalicht in the House of Reprjjdentatives ^followed as a result of the twelfth Ceu*u*. The census dis­ closed various increases in tlic States, and a new 'bast* of representation' wak prepared/bascil t-n the changed condition of the population. A* .finally enacted the total representation Is lix^l at 38t> mem­ bers, or twenty-nine more than in the present House. Hazing at Wbst Point received atten­ tion. with the prospect that- strong re­ strictive kyislatiun will be enacted. The Senate adopted anti-baziug provisions In tbe military academy appropriation bill, but it remained for ther hist dnya pt the session to determine just what restric­ tions on hazing ere to bo imposed. ' Besides the anti-trust bill, passed by th® House ami not acted upon by the Senate, a resolution proposing a constitu­ tional amendment giving Congress more power to deal with trust* was defeated in tbe House.

The third number of the high school entertainment ooursfe will be given at the opera bouse next Wednesday even ing. March 20th. - On that occasion the music lovers of Nashville and vicinity will have an opportunity to enjoy what is sure to prove a rare treat. The mere mention of the fact that the Eugene Page Company is coming ought to bring out. a crowded house. This company was. here last year'.znd nothing but praise has been heard of its work. Tills year the com­ pany Is stronger than ever. In ad­ dition to the two mandolins, cello and harp, which make one of the best string quartets in the’country,. Mr. Page has engaged the services, of Miss Carrie Stone Alexander, a very suc­ cessful gojh-ano, who will appear on each program. The program will be a varied one, consisting of qiytrtete. duets and solos, giving each member an opportunity to show the wonderful possibilities of their different instru. meets. Miss Heintzen, the harpist, is a master of that most melodious in­ strument, while Mr. Eugene Page is easily the first mandolinlat of. the country. If you do not believe that the mandolin* is an instrument capable of producing anything beyond harsh metallic sounds, come and be. con­ verted by the beautiful harmony that Mr. Page produces without seerairig effort. The remaining members of the company, Miss Florence Pbeliw Mc­ Cune, second mandolinlat. and Mias Emma’McDonald, cellist, will need no introduction to a Nashville audience. Their work last year has not been for­ gotten. Tickets for this concert will be sold at tlie uniform price of thirty-five cents. All those presenting their tickets at the Central drug slqrebefore 'six o’clock Wednesday evening can have them reserved without extra charge. Bmoke 122. Dance .March 9., A good smoke—122.

GoodSpraylnB Apparytnc The barrel pump Is considered by the Vermont station tbe niost generally use­ ful spraying apparatus yet devise*! and representing the least jwsslble outlay. Such a pump Is suited to spraying all other crops and fruit trees, as well as potatoes. For work In the potato field there are two chief ways of using tbe barrel pump. The simplest consists in carrying the barrel through the field in a wagse. while one or two persons walk and dlfect the spray nozzles. A more elaborate and expeditious method is shown In the figure. Here the name barrel pump Is mounted on a two wheeled cart. The wheels are set glx feet apart so as to straddle two rows, while the hfjrse walks between them. From two to four rows are sprayed at once bj; this apparatus, and five to ten acre* a day are covered by two men ami one horse. • In order to protect the vines a guard rod Is placed !n front of each wheel. . . Sparc the Quai *. During tbe first three months of Its life the quail feeds almost entirely ou inserts, and it Is estimate*! that each bird will eat Its weight In Insects every day until nearly full grown, and even longer than that If the fall grasshoppers are plenty. When there are np more iuseets to be found they begin on the gleaning* of grain and weed seeds, the latter being the ration most of tbe winter. Farmers should not only forbid the shqoting of quail upon their lands, but should further protect them in winter by providing little heaps of brush or evergreen boughs, where they can find shelter and food duringdeep snows. A quart of wheat bcivvhIngs, the s* e<ls from the barn floor, or other food that the farmer could give them without cost, would save many, and another season they would pay for It In hunting bugs. • Savins Fodder. One of the Items of greatest waste on the farm has been the reckless way In which corn fodder has been handled.

Ix>ft to ripen to a degree that would make It worthless and then possibly rot !n the shock, the cornstalks on most farms have fallen Into disre­ pute, and very few regard Its feeding value as they should.

John's quirk eye take* cognizance of n bountiful collation set out upon the kitchen table—the subject of Mrs. Muiveil’s knowing smile and nod to £cr daughter jv*t before retiring—and he looks inquiringly, but'silently, from It to Hetty. Fully, understanding him, she re­ plies, in a low but emphatic tone: “It’s to l>e hoped he will gqt something to eat Iwforc he touches a bite that’s there—mr he’ll starve.” The spirited girl rrvents her mother’s action In making such preparation for tbe unwelcome visitor after denying it, as she had. tor the entertainment of the lover who might have rightfully expected it. And John instinctively comprehends her feeling, knows what Ims happened just aa well as if she told him, for Love Is very clear-sighted in seeing it* own re­ flections in the loved one. With impulgive, passionate fondness, he throws Iks armif alx»ut lu»r, presses her to his breast, nnd kisses her fervently, a demonstration that elicits n > further opposition "than the gcfitly uttered protest: “Oh, John, don’t!" And she has to say: “Ob. John, don’t!” at leanj four time* move before the back door is openrd and he Is gone. . When Hetty returns to the sitting room she notices that Ilufus has assumed a sulky expression, probably resentful of her absence with John, which, however short, may hive seemed long to him. ft amuses her inwardly, tut very demurely she siU down, not in her former-place, but upon fhe chair Join ha* vacated— twice ss far rway from Mr. Goldie. He says «omothirg,>but she does not under­ stand what, for she is listening to . the tinkle of sleigh bells, 0t;t at the barn, go Ing down the'fane and far away on the road, repeating over and over a melodious message to her, so plait that she fancies Itufus must hear and understand it: “Good night! It’s all right! Coming again next Sunday night!" ' But to egotistic Rufts the sounds are merely those of jingling sleigh bells, go­ ing away with the rival he has driven from the field, and he becomes more at ease ns they grow fainter In the distance. At length, he felicitate* himself for this eveniag* at least, his troubles art over. He would uot think so could he k’now what Danny is doing above his head; he might justly have doubts about it If he only remembered Danny’s existence. Passive loyalty is an unthinkable con­ dition to “the Imp." Activity is an in­ herent attribute of bis In-ing. and acci­ dent determines its manifestation in good or evil. Having voluntarily declared al­ legiance to John Cameron, it Is with a noble joy that he has become aware of an opportunity to do partisan service. He had gone to bed. up iu the garret, before Ilufus Goldie came, but was not yet asleep, nnd hoard the sleigh bells an­ nouncing his coming as soon as anybody. And when Ilufus entered the sitting room. Danny’s eye was upon him as soon as anybody's, for the puncheon floor of bis garret, .which is at the same time the ceiling of the company apartment below Is1 full of crevices and knot holes. With characteristic; precocity, he comprehend­ ed' the situation below him as dearly as did cither of the participants In it—and found it delightful. Fate, to indemnify him for bis self-restraint toward John, had brought another predestined Victim directly_to his hands. Tbe only question wa* what should he do with him. Hurrl&Zy dressing himw'lf. he glided out to. the barn and opened the campaign by pouring a pail of water over Rufus’ lap robes in the cutter, and “shagging” the vehicle by tying n stout rope securely be­ tween the stanchion's supporting its body at an obiiqne angle from left to right. Dear the runners, a happy device that rendered eitpriXing, on a rough country/ road, almost certain. Then he ran back to his observatory in the loft to watch and wait. When-he saw Jjjlin go away, another Inspiration came to him, and now, while Ilufus is allowing- his soul to sink into the content of fancied security and resigning himself to tbe mere sensuoqg chayrn of a pretty girl's companion­ ship, which he erroneously imagine* love, Danny is busy on hi*, account. By common consent the loft is Danny's domain, where he store* up Ida wealth of unconaidered trifles and miscellaneous “odds and ends,”’things absolutely volueleau to older eye*, but in a boy’s hand* a very arsenal of witdieraft for mischief.

He had not yet prepared a contract with the company, but in his room at 48 .West Elizabeth street, -the papers were found ready to sign. Fie had been in.the publishing business at Lake Odessa, Ypsilanti and other Michigan cities, and, with the excep­ tion or a short time when he was em­ ployed on a western roilroad, he was always engaged in some branch of the printing trade. ' . About two weeks ago he received 2150 from his mother and he told Mrs. Francis, his sister-in-law, that he in­ tended to buy special type for doing society printing and make this a side issue at the plant uf :hr Angel us com­ pany. He had other money, loo. “He was a great man f<e- showing a roll of money," said Mrs. Francis, and I know he carried that2150around with him since he received it from .his mother. Some one may have seen.the large amount of money, and that may explain it all.” For several days Francis had been looking around for a suitable home for himself and bis wife and two chil­ dren. The family 1-in Portland. Mich , and has beew.wuiting to receive word to come to IMroil. The illness of.the youngest child, only eighteen months old, caused a-de) ay. in making the trip. The wife, mother and other relatives of Francis are ranch alarmed al Lis mysterious disappeartince.. The following item appeared in the Free .Press of yesterday morning: Mrs. Clyde W. Francis, whose husbanddlsappeared a week ago, has written to the office of the Angelus Publishing Co., stating that she is sure her hus­ band has been killed. It i» said, that he cashed a draft fpr 21,000 before he departed and sent 2500 of thia to' his mother. Mrs. Francis, Clyde’s mother, is at Union City, where she has been for several weeks visiting friends. Clyde was a young man of steady habits, and there seems no reason to think count unless deranged. The conclu­ sion seems to be gaining ground that he has been made awav with by some one who knew that be had quite,* sum of money in his possession.

DECISION ON INDIAN WEDDINGS BY TRIBAL CUSTOM IS Lehigb Valley That there will always be a mystery , about the manner in which William Blackford met his death the other morn­ ing in n Lehigh Valley Railroad tower at. . Parkview, near Newark. N. .1., seems probable. If he wa< murdered, it was by some tramps and with bis own revolver. If it was not tunzder. there is no way of absolutely determining whether it wus . aeridmt or suicide. Blackford was the night signal man in the t«»wvr. His l»ody was found lying on the fiour, -partly against it. The signal man was dead nnd his revolver lay on th'- floor, about three feet away- from his hand. Three persona were killed and three in­ jured in a fire that'drove fifty tenants iu panic from the five-story tenement Jton-** 270 Atlantic avenue, Brooklyn. N. Y.,and partly destroy-.! the building. A . woman altd n 12-ycar-old boy, crazed by fear, jumped from fourth nnd third-story windows, respectively, and were killed. The mother of the boy was. burned to* death in her apartments. The California Supreme Court has granted a new trial to Mrs. Cordelia Bot­ kin, convicted of the murder of Mrs. .1. 1*. Dunning in 1898, :?nd sentenced to life imprisonment.

Early in the*summer preceding the hnppeningf here narrated, a gcod. donee, middle-aged Scot, on his way from Edinb’ro to Ohio—where he expec ed to pur­ chase land-stopped for a vislt among the Camerons of Elder township, to whom he claimed some distant relatiot ship. The beauty and fertility <»f the count.-y, in the Kacroon Creek- Valley particularly, and the presence hen* of. numbers v'it> at least "knew his forbear*,’* and were Pre­ sumably kin to him. brought about a • hango in his plans nnd instead of going on to "the Western Reserve,” as he had intended. Roger .McFarlane bought n half-eection of good, though unimproved, farming land from the widow CameronJohn’s mother—and settled down. He wa# a bachelor, upon the verge of being classed as an. "old" one, and arranged to live at. the widow Cameron’s until such time as he could build a home for' him•elf on his own acres, au achievement that he feared would be far enough off to give him- mon* than ample time to find "a mistress for that home among the bux­ om lassie# abounding ifi the neighbor­ hood. . • Acquainted only with rhe hard individ­ ual struggle and sharp competitive strife Of existence in the old world, Mr. Mc­ Farlane bad no idea of tbe common help­ fulness by which our early settlers brought their co-operative forces to bear for the accomplish,i>ent of their heaviest toils, such as would have been beyoud the strength and means of individuals. Hence he arrived, by careful calculation, at the conclusion that it would take him about two year# of hard, uuremitting toil to erect a «nitable house and barn and to dear a couple uf tillable fields. Of course, that time might be coDMidcrably shortened, if Im* canid make up his mind to hire* help, but he was loth to part with tbe “#lU*r” in hand and bravely made up his mind to do himself all that was jHMkribie for him. employing assist­ ance only in the absolutely needful work of raising the heavy logs* of which the building# would be constructed, a job necexsarily far in tbe fntqre. John' Cameron, seeing a cbajure for each in a man's lifetime, took care not to en­ courage Roger to any different hope, and readily won the cu-operation uf all who «-ame to Know and conseqnentb to like the patient, industrious, kindly faced Scot, in.keeping him from even a suspi­ cion of whst was in store lor him. And all through the Summer and fall Roger worked Mrsdily on, tinder John** .con­ stant advlae. Upon so much of hta land adaptability for building, fencing ortfireHe even "rough-squared” those intended for th* bottse, John haring adw<kk1. riiied him to do so in order that they might be better oeasanrd when ne.came' lo build. Ami he ejuou-' the site fer hi» new home, which John approved. Ou* «s»M nnd bri Bia ally dear December morning Roger Ml-Farlane was Inexpres­ sibly astonished.

It is doubtful if any public man, at least In this generation, was borne to his last resting pllce among so many mani­ festation* of respect. The tribute of re­ spect was universal. ’ It came from all alike, from thoso of his own political faith and from those who differed with him concerning what is beat for the na­ tion's good, from men who had been his Bfriong friends, and from those who knew him merely by sight and to whom he never spoke. It came from women and children, from whitc-and-black’, from all conditions end kinds of people. There was no exception anywhere to the ex­ pression that tho nation bad lost one of Sts ablest men and the greatest man of his generation in bis own State. President Beside the Grave. ' By the grave stood the chief magistrate st the nation, and behind the ropes were all the street aralgs of Gen. Harrison’s •ity. Every grade of human life in America between the two was repre­ sented in the crowd, and in them all there was only the one feeling—that a men bad died who was honWt at all times with himself and with others, and whose ability and character were such as the nation could ill afford to lose. The services at the church and grave were simple in the extreme, al) in most excellent Mste. and there was nn utter absence of friction in everything that • raa done. .

Edwards unless $1,000 was paid immediately for the return of the gems, is puzzling the Kansas City police. The gems disappeared from the storerooms a week ago. The following morning Edwards received a letter offer­ ing to return the diamonds for $1,000. The letter stipulated that the money be left at midnight on a certain night at Fortieth nnd McGee streets. Thejetter asked that the package be sent by Wil­ liam pearduff, one of the firm’s clerks, and closed with lhe threat to kidnap. Itearduff, hritb a package of paper, went to the corner. He says he was met by two men. one of whom demanded a pack­ age. The next day Dejirduff found the missing tray of. diamonds in the basement .of the store building.

Kitchener was instructed to offer him, to the earnest­ consideration of his government. Gen. Boiha added that ,h‘» government nnd ita chief officers entirely agreed with his view. The responsibility for the con­ tinuance of guerilla warfare to the bitter end consequently rests with Gen. Botha, and those whom he was consulting.

F. J. Brattin. SCHOOL NOTES. Vacation next week. Thanks to Mrs. Boston for copies of Success and.Ladies’HomeCompanion. Superintendent Harden of Hastings visited our schools Tuesday. While her* he was the guest of Superintendent Farrell. School was closed Tuesday afternoon oh account of the funeral of the late Dr. Young. Dr. Young has several times been a member of the school board and at all times a strong sup­ porter of the school, and ic hi a death the school loses one of its firmest friends; hence the closing of the school as a mark of respect to his memory. While here last Tuesday Superin­ tendent Harden gave the high school a short address in which he argued in favor of all parties forgetting the long standing ill-feeling which is supposed to exist between Hastings and Nash­ ville, especially along school lines. We believe that this is proper and shall willingly go half-way to make our aim a common one. During the past week we have been especially fortunate in regard to our chapel exercises. On Tuesday O. M. McLaughlin made a few very approSriate remarks of the late Dr. Young. n Wednesday morning Rev. VanAuken conducted chapel exercises, after which Mr. Davis of Olivet sang a humorous kolo. On Thursday Rey. Van Auken of Hastings gave a Very interesting and valuable talk on the value of determination as a means to securing an education. RESOLUTION'.

A REMEDY FOR THE GRIPPE A remedy recommended for patients af­ flicted with the grippe is KEMP’S BAL­ SAM, which is especially adapted for the throat and lungs. Don’t wait for tbe first symptoms of the disease; gel a bottle to-dav and keep it for use the moment it is needed. If neglected the grippe has a tendency to bring on pneumonia. KEMP’S BALSAM prevents this by keeping the cough loose and tbe lungs free from infiamation. All druggists sell KEMP'S BALSAM At 2fic'and 50 cents.

CHINA AND HER GOVERNMENT. Area of China is 4,218,401 English square miles. Of this teritory only 11,336.841 miles belong to China proper, the remainder, being the de­ pendencies of Manchuria, Mongolia, Tibet, Jungaria ani-east Turkestan. Notwithstanding the relatively small size of China proper it contains the bulk of the population, having 386,­ 000,000 inhabitants out of a total pop­ ulation of the kingdom of 402.680.000. China's’ present emperoi51—that is, the^ersonage variously reported poi­ soned. murdered, in hiding and mys­ teriously vanished in other ways—be­ longs to the Man^hu dynasty, which overthrew the native dynasty of Ming in 1G44. The present lively interest Prince Tuan—lender of the Boxers— is taking in the extermination of for­ eigners is due to the fact that his son was Inst January declared by decree to supercede the real emperor and he is anxious to clear the way. Supreme direction of the empire is vested in the privy council,- and the administration is under the direction of a cabinet comprising four mem­ bers, two of Manchu and two of Chi­ nese origin, besides two assistants from the great college, who have to see that nothing is done contrary to the civil and religious laws of the great empire. These members are called ministers of state. Under their orders are seven different boards of government.

Suddenly there came a terrific crash of thun­ der, and there immediately burst through the scene a seore of nine-pound cannon bail*. These rolled down the sloping stage with ac­ celerated velocity on the footlights, making the patriarchal king seek refuge in the wings with more alacrity than dignity. Some­ thing approaching a panic was upon the point of seizing the audience, when the bails ceased rolling and the spectators realized that they had been treated-to an unexpected peep behind-the scenes. It happened that • the manager of this theater had a method of his own for making thupder, and all’good judges, of thunder regarded it as magnifi­ cent. Its component parts were the stage carpenter, a wheelbarrow and cannon balla. The carpenter would wheel his barrow load of balls to and fro over wooden ledges and uneven surfaces at the back of the stage, thus sending into the auditorium a fine, lull and sonorous roar. On the night in ques­ tion, however, the barrow upset and an­ other stage illusion was destroyed. SCIENCE AND HEALTH. A French physician. Dr. Hervienx, hns made investigations which indi­ cate that flies spread smallpox. Experiments by Prof. Loeb show that chemically pure salt is fatal to fish, though present In the same pro­ portions as in sea water. It is agreed that it is useful to animals, but the mixture of it with pt her salts renders it nontpxic, ns proved by his further experiments. Messrs. Macfntlyan and Rowland re­ port that they have exposed various micro-organisms to the temperature of liquid air for some days without finding that thtf vitality of the organ­ isms was impaired in any way, exfcept that in one or two cases their growth was slightly delayed. • A successful operatic., has been per­ formed in St. Luke's hospital. New York city. A tumor was removed from the inside of the aheath of the spinal cord. It was necessary to cut into six vertebrae, .and the patient was kept under anaesthetics for more than three hours. He was, operated upon after a number of German spe­ cialists had pronounced that his ail­ ment waa rheumatism. 4 COWS OFF-FEED Quickly drop off in both flesh and milk, which always means a loss of money.

The expedition was conveyed by the gunboat Vicksburg and tho cruiser Albany to a landing place on tbe east coast of Luzon, north of Baler. ■ The rebel chieftain’s hiding place was revealed by a Filipino officer, who turned over to Gov. Gen. MacArthur a letter from Aguinaldo. The letter Ordered the Filipino officer and other leaders of the insurgent forces in southern Luzon to rn>-et bim at a designated rendezvous in Isabella province. , Gen. Funston at once proposed to head an expedition to Isabella province in an effort to capture Aguinaldo. After much discussion Gov. Gen. MaeArthar consent­ ed and preparations were begun. Funston's plan of operations was unique. After being landed on the east coast .Funston and his four American cofppnniot”* were to play the role of pris­ oners in the bands of the patives, who were to represent themselves to Agui­ naldo as loyal Filipinos. When brought before. Aguimddo the latter.was to be Seized by Funston's native troops and made a prisoner.. The adventure was a desperate one, as its success or failure depended on the faithfulness of Funston's native soldiers. They were Mncabebes. who bare been loyal to the United States almost from the- day the American troops landed. They were worthy of the trust imposed on them, as proycu by the success of the enterprise. . Funston's plans went through as well as they hud l>ccu planned.

Th? number of voters who failed to go to the polls was 103,570, or over ene-quarter of tbe elec­ torate of the city. All ot tho remaining candidates on the Democratic city ticket cere elected along with Mayor Harrison. In fact, Charles F. Gunther, the candi­ date for City Treasurer, ran better than the Mayor’, his plurality being 33.376. or 5,1 ID more than that given th* brad sf the ticket. Of the two other candidates, both William I^effler. elected jCity Clerk, and Andrew Ryan, City Attorney, suffer­ ed severely, and. although they have *afe pluralities, they are not large ones.

The latter declares he will contest on pica of frauds. With Mr. Wells was elected the entire Democratic ticket. St. Louis is normally a Republican city by about 15,000 plurality. This has bceu're.versed and u Democratic plurality of 10.­ 000 rolled up. During tbe day many per­ sons were beaten or assaulted, and two were shot. One of those'bit by .a bullet was E. A.

At Wiohita. where Mrs. Nation began her crusade, tbe tem­ perance. ticket was overwhelmingly de­ feated by the Republicans. Municipal elections were held in the various cities of the third class through­ out Slinnesota. Party lines were not drawn, and in many case* there was only one ticket in tbe field. Wherever the is­ sue was "license” or “no license,” the former was successful. In several in­ stances the question of issuing, bonds for various local improvements was voted upon. Denver, Colo., went Republican, the only part at all in doubt being the may­ oralty. Henry V. Johnson, preseat May­ or. ran Independently on a ticket which was almost identical with that of the Re­ publicans. beaded by Robert IL Wright. The-combined vote for the two is conced­ ed to exceed that for the Democratic ticket headed by .Judge E. T. Wells by from 4,000 to 5,000.

The issue iu nearly every small town in* Nebraska was Urease or. do license, ami reports received from fifty villages indicate that the majority of them have gone for license. In n few of the larger towns politics entered into the cam­ paigns. The vote was generally light and -no dlsturbnneeii were reported.

China’s sud­ den show of independence has not, un­ fortunately, cleared up the situation. Russia is iu possession of Manchuria, and seems content to wait on tho naturui course of diplomatic events, for Russia is never in’a hurry. As to the Manchu­ rian treaty itself Great Britain has pro­ tested to Ruskln-over its sigtfature. Rus­ sia has responded that the treaty, socalled. is not really a treaty, but a paper more in the nature of ft modus vivendl. Greut Britain has replied that she has no objection to a temporary agrcemfnt im■plied in a modus vivendi, but has called Russia’s attention to the secrecy involved in tlie Manehurinn agreement, and an­ nounced that until that mystery is clear­ ed away British objection to its signa­ ture wllLstand. Japan, who has more at stake than any of tbe powers, has assum­ ed an attitude diplomatically correct . Some keen observers of events la tho far East do not hesitate to declare that war betwe jo Russia and Japan is inev­ itable. War is, it must bo admitted, al­ ways a possibility between Rusxla and Japan; but the danger in the present aituatioa.Hes deeper than a conflict, proba­ ble or possible, between the two powers most directly interested in the far East. This danger Is, tbe dismemberment of th* Chinese Empire, that i«-likely to begin the moment Russia seizes Manchuria. Germany, France, England. Italy and Japan are likely to claim Chinese terri­ tory to compensate ihetiiielvea for what they may consider a disturbance in the balance of power in tho far East, and, with China parceled out among the pow­ ers. American commercial Interests .may suffer. Russia, more than any nation of Europe, is .menaced by internal and ex­ ternal dangers. Until a satisfactory so­ lution of the far Eastern situation is reached there la accountant-menace ot war with Japan. And nt home there Is the ever present danger of revolution, ’ The Czar Is undoubtedly in a state bor­ dering on panic, if all reports from St. Petersburg are to be believed. The re­ cent demonstrations of the people com­ pelled 1dm to leave S(. Petersburg nnd take up a temporary residence in Tzarskoc Park, seventeen miles south of bis capital. And early ia the week it was announced that a mine had been discov­ ered beneath the palace in Tzarskoo Park. The Czar's plight is probably un­ happier than that of any other monarch lu Europe.

Aguinaldo's household troop*, fifty in number, were lined up to receive th* visitors. The party marched up, and the house in which Agulnaldo was staying was surrounded,. Quickly the Spanish* officer gave the order to the Macabebec "Now, Macabebes, go for them." jTbo Macabebes opened fire, killing three In­ surgents. Aguinaldo, not comprehending the situation, rushed to the window and shouted: "Stop that foolishnes*; ’ quit wasting hmmunition.*’ Hllarie Placido, a Tagalog officer, aud former insurgent major, threw his anna around A'guiusldo. crying: "You are a prisoner of the Amer­ icans’" Agulnaldo fought, and other* rushed to bis aid.

LOGAN UNVEILED IN WASHINGTON. Dread Bubonic Disease Gets a Foot­ hold on American boil. Tbe moat dreaded of all.of the physi­ cal afflictions of mankind, the bubonic plague has gained a foothold in Amer­ ica, and the ftslernl authorities are taking Vigorous steps to bold in check sb far as is possible the fearful disease that in the past half decade has decimated India. There can no longer l»c any doubt of the identity of the disease. The special pommisaiou hastened to l*an Francisco by the Secretary of the Treasury to in­ vestigate suppbsed. cases of the malady there ha* returned lo Washington with confirmation of the worst suspicions. . The text of their report has not-been made public, but its substance is known,’ and it Is-to the effect that the bubonic plague does exist in the California cap­ ital; that there are numerous, cases and have been six deaths recently; that the situation is. alarming, and that unless the promptest and most drastic measures are adopted there is danger of the dread mal­ ady spreading to other parts of the coun­ try. Close on the heels of the Federal, investigators came a eommhttrc of San Francisco citizens to deny the existence of the plague there and protest against any step* which may place an embargo upon the Eastern business of theij great State. That general alarm felt among the neighbors ot California is evidenced by numerous petitions telegraphed, from Western States t<J Washington asking the Treasury Department to quarantine the entire State of California, • so that they may not be exposed to the conta­ gion. It is recognized by the federal au­ thorities that San Francisco, with its aqualid and secretive ’’Clxiuatown,’’ into whose dirty recesses the sanitary officers have the greatest difficulty in penetrating because of the ignorant'and stiperstitious opposition of the .Mongolian denizens, is one of the worst places where the disease* could .have gained a foothold. Thl* Treasury Department does not be­ lieve that it will be necessary to quaran­ tine the ’State, or even the whole city. A quarantine will lx* plaeeii on the Chi­ nese quarter, where tbe deaths have oc­ curred, -:aml where* the remaining cases art* now under treatment. In any erent, individual isolation of the cases will be effected and rigidly enforced by federal command. The disease was nndotibtedly FRANKLIN SIMMONS’STATU E OF GEN. JOHN A.

The hearing ou the congrejnionai rcabj»ortionmrnt bill attracted pniy a few meinl»era to the House in the morning and it was apparent Chat the .mly way an affreement enu be reached will be to make a» tew changes as possible In the preiu-nt appor­ tionment. In committee of the whole the House agreed to one more of Rcpreacniatfve Colby's primary elect ion bill*. This time it was his general hill for tbe •State, but he presented a substitute for the original bill, owing lo -the nnmber of amendment*" that hr decided to make. There was no debate. Colby simply ex­ plaining the terms of the measure. The main amendment i< a .referendum clause, which stipulated that the bill shall not become operative until it shall have been vuted upon in each county and aftcrwanl* adopted by n .majority of the Su­ pervisors. Tbe committee also passed the following bills: Appropriation for Indus­ trial School tor Boys, $17l>,500; appro­ priation for *chool for the blind. $115,400; approprinti.’.n of $300 for a monument to be erected, nt .Byron in memory .of Miss Ellen May Towar. the Michigan nurse who died in Porto Rico; State li­ brary mid traveling library appropriation. $24.fM>0; Atwood’s tdll providing that agents for foreign fire and life insurance companies shall obtain a certificate of au­ thority from the Insurance commissioner.

The Senate also passed tbe joint resolution railing on Congress to submit a constitutional amendment to the people Tor the election of I’niteil States Senators by popular vote. It was a close shave, a* the reso­ lution just got the required seventeen votes, while twelve were registered* against it. The IxMimis bill providing for women members on tbe asylnm txiards of the State came up on third reading, and was defeated, 14 to 13, lacking. three votes of the necessary number. The vote was then reconsidered and the meas­ ure tabled. Earle’s fire escape bill" for hotel* wns passed, but he had it amended to make the penalty ninety days instead of one year, and $2dO instead of $1,000. The House on Thursday’ passed the Chandler lull, which provides fur tbe tax­ ation of railroad and other Corporate property on tbi* ad valorem basis. There Wits c.insiiiernblc talk on the measure and nn attempt was made to substitute the McCallum specific’ tax bill for the Chandr ler measure^ When this was voted’down,, however, the passage of the bill wns prac­ tically unanimous. The measure has yet to run the gauntlet of the Senate, which i* it more, hostile body, and wbihv the in­ dications are that the bill will eventually puss, it will be after n hnrd fight. The Senate killed the bill aimed at tbe St. Joseph and Benton Harbor Gretna Green. The measure provided thnt tnnr-. ringes could not lw performed in Michi­ gan nnleaa the marriage license was pro­ cured five dajrs prior to tbe ceremony. The Senate decidetl that it was unwise to discourage.the Institution of marriage, despite the arguments of the clergymen of the State, a large number of whom noted the passage of the bill. t Tbe garnishee bill was finally passed by the House Wednesday afternoon by a vote of 79 to 15.

Well, a constable in the discharge of his duty could legally take such extreme measures to bnforce hi» authority ami uphold the dignity of the law as would never be sanctioned in an ordinary citizen interfering, however properly, in another's love affair.

Only from the direction It took in emerging from the road—turning towards the lefG-it apl>enred that they had gone to Washing­ ton. But, after driving half an hour, tbe punmers met a muu coming from Washington, who said that he had seen no cutter with a man and a girl in it on the road that day. They-went back to wh^re the trail entered Ujtoa the pike, and. by more careful aud acute oliservution than they had employed before, found dow that John had cunningly driv­ en a few hundred yards toward Wash­ ington. and then retraced hls-eourse and gone in the direction ot Canonsbtirg. He had evidently calculated upon the possibility of what, bad occurred and bis trick had cost bis pursuers nearly an hour and a half of . valuable time. The consciousness of having lieen so easily outwitted still further enraged Simeon Muiveil, and bo lashed bis horses into a gallop. The fortunate accident of meeting a man who knew Cameron and bud recog­ nized him, with a girl, in a cutter, ou the road to Pittsburg, saved the consta­ ble from a vain' chase to Canonsburg, and enabled him, though still far in the rear, to gain ground steadily in the pur­ suit from that.time on. John Cameron, confident of having baf­ fled his possible pursuers and dreaming nhnght of the danger now following swiftly, was wildly happy in possession of the greatest joy nnd triumph of his life. Hetty, nestled dose under his nrto, so bundled up that only her spark­ ling ey<’-s. the blossomy roundness of her cheeks and the tip of her little nose ap­ peared amid her muffling*, in submission to his insistence uncovered her lips "just for a moment;” and the moment was so long that the big black horse felt the neglected reins lying loosely upon hia back, and intoxicated by exultation in his own vigor and the inspiriting freshnew of the morning breeze, look the bit between his teeth and galloped madly away with the speed of 4he wind, his bells sounding a paean of rejoicing. That was on- the country turnpike: there was no such good going on the Pittsburg road. It had been badly cut np by heavy teaming during a recent thaw, ami tbe snowfall of the preceding night had only partly concealed and not filled the deep ruts nnd boles in the frozen ground. Add­ ed to that, when the sun was well up, the snow was softened just ebough to "ball’’ constantly under the Hack horse’s feet and worry.him. Consequently, the trati-1 wa* riawer than John had antici­ pate. and it was the middle of thy af­ ternoon when he found himself descend­ ing the long, steep ridehill above TemIH-rancrvine and saw Pittsburg, across the Monongahela river, before him. But that did not trouble him. Anybody in pursuit woqH have had the same diffi­ culties to .encounter, and he bad a good enough start to free him from anxiety about the reault of u chase. Besides, hia goal was in right; the victory practically tufesome persons drove horse* upon itThere who did drive ft*-rww followed a curving course almc&t like a great let­ ter 8, that led from tbe ferry lauding on the South Pittsburg aide to the city wharf near "the Point," that way hav­ ing been carefully picked out by sound­ ing where tbe he was yet thickest and strungi-st. .

At'tbe meeting of C&uuty School Superjuteudr^ts at Springfield the «tatetaet: was made that the attendance* at country scboqlrf waa fatting off so fa»t as almost to threaten tiwir extinction. Thia ' assertion was confirmed in a measure by tha last cvnaus report, which ipdicatre dearly that the rural population of Illinoi.H is drifting gradually to the cities and larger towns, leaving the farms with a smaller population each year. A plan.to check this emigration has been a problem engaging the attention of country educators for years, and .they think a solution has been reached finally in the bill permitting tbe consolidation of poor 'districts and the new course of agriculture just, introduced into the rural schools nf the State. .Assuming’ that the country boy grows up ignorant of the real beauties of coun­ try life and fanning, a course of study hag been pn-pared which will stimulate his interest in-things agriculturaj. When he becomes ot age the theory is that be will chooer to remain on the farm rather than seek the more strenuous life of the city. • ■ A coufmittee of school superintendents was appointed by the Springfield Conven­ tion to prepare the new course.

Russian troops hold Manchuria. Moreover, Russia is bending every energy to complete the Transsiberiaii Railway through Mauehnria to Port Arthur, and the workmen will not bnly be protected by troops, but it may be set down -as certain the completed railroad will always be guarded'by soldiers. Prac­ tically, then. Rukstu to-day holds Manchurla and is not likely to voluntarily give up control of the province. Only three powers—the United States. Great Britain ami Germany—are ftrong enough to essay the.task of driving Russia out of Manchuria. American interference is out of th*.- question, while Great Britain and Germany*cannot agree. Evidently there is nb prospect that any of the pow­ ers will come to the aid of China. Japan claims-Cored as her own Ultimate inher­ itance, while Russia in Manchuria will always lw a menace to Corea, as well, as to Japan. Motives of selr-protection nat­ urally lead Japan to make war on Russia. Undi-r exactly’ similar circumstances it might xjell I** believed that the United Blates would go to war to prevent Ger­ many or Qrvat Britain or France from takipg frussessioa of Mexico, where the presence of a great rival power would be a constant menace to thin country. Jap­ an is a conservative nation, tenacious of her rights. Sha feels strong enough to cope with Rhssia on the.wa, but prudent­ ly doubts her ability to successfully meet tbe Czar's army on land. Her position Is a difficult one aud the situation per­ plexing. The presence of the Italian fleet at Toulon and the fetes arranged in honor of the Duke of Genoa by tbe French gov­ ernment may have political signlOcance fraught with interest to all Europe." Italy's place in the dreibund may be va­ cant within two yenrs. If Victor Em­ manuel withdraws from the alliance with Germany and Austria—an alliance dat­ ing from March 13. 1887—he will be com­ pelled by force oT Italy’s isolation In Euk-opc to seek new friendships. He can go nowhere but to France and Russia.' In runny respects nn Alliance between Italy, France and Russia would be of im­ mense advantage to all three; for It would almost beyond question give them the control of the Mediterranean Sea. It will not be surprising if Italy casta loose from the alliance with Germany and Austria and throws her political fortunes with those of. France and Russia.

In the mean­ time, the Chamber has taken a recess nn■ til May 12. The luw is aimed at the sup­ pression of the A ssumptionists and th*teaching by the Jesuits. These religious associations make no secret of their hos­ tility to the republic. Their newspaper, Le Croix, published in Paris, is the open friend of the monarchy. It is not sur­ prising. therefore, that the present French ministry, formed nearly two years ago with the avowed purpose of killing off- the enemies of the republic, should make vigorous war on the relig­ ious associations. A new league has just l»v<*n formed in Paris, Imvlng for Its motto: "If. you would enjoy good health you must . • s-tr Icily refrain froin kissing any one.” Mtae. Petit is" leader of the new society.

In 1789 the -whole German empire had a population of about 26.600,000, ■ and at the close of the Napoleonic wars in 1815 Germany, although somewhat reduced insixe, had a population of something more than 30,000,000. In 1815, since which date the area has remained almost con­ stant", Germany had 34.000.000; in 1805, 40,000,000, in 1885. 47,000,060. and Ju 1900 about 55,500,000, an increase in the century of nearly 30.000.000.

CHICAGO TO LIVERPOOL. ne> to tbe English Port. Buffalo. Montreal, Sidney, Cape Bre­ ton. Liverpool. England. This was the itinerary mapped out by th? owners of tbe steamship Northwestern, which sail­ ed Wednesday from Chicago on its’long voyage’ across the Atlantic—the first steamer, clearing from tbe port of Chi­ cago, to carry the product* ot tbe West to the markets of tbe. Eastern hemi­ sphere. No Xormal ceremony, other than the regulation* imposed by the United States government, marked the departure of tbe vessel which is to link Chicago by a diiect line with the port* of tbe old world. Harvesting machinery and Chicago pro­ visions are included iff the firet cargo of the.Nortbwestera. Tbe ship nlso carried about 50.000 bushel* of grain for Buffalo. Tfiis was to art a* ballast for thr lake trip, and its unloading at Buffalo light­ ened the strainer suftirii-nrly to let it. pass dow’n the St. Lawreffbr canals. At Mon­ treal the place of the grain was taken by other freight, and the steamer aailed for Liverpool with n’ftill cargo.

Tbe figures for the nine months ot the current fiscal year ending March 31 ahtfw a total of $1,140,170,728 merchandise exported, an increase of $86,540,032 over the corresponding period in the previous year, which was the high­ est record in our history. At the same time the imports show a decrease of $42,202,639 compared with the nine months of the previou* . year, .which -makes the balani-v of trade in our favor $540,687337 for nine mouths, an increase of $128,832,071. The largest increase has been in tbe export of agricultural products. The export of manufactures is riightly less because of the interrup­ tion ot trade with China and the fact that shipments to the Hawaiian Island* and Porto Rico are no longer included ' In the statistic* of foreign commerce. The government reserves as a monop­ oly tbe right to carry the mails. For the convenience of the public 'letters may be transmitted by express upon the pay­ ment of the regular express charges provided they are inclosed in govern­ ment stamped envelope*. It is a viola­ tion of the law for an express company or individual to transport mails upon which the postage has not been paid in that way. Au adhesive, postage stamp ' will nut do. Express companies are not authorised to cancel imprinted stamped envelopes which they are pertnittad to deliver, but it Ja. expected that the re­ ceiver will in opening the envelope ren­ der it unfit for further use. Imported postage stamps cannot be cut from one envelope and used upon another. Should a government stamped envelope be de­ faced any postmaster may redeem It if it bears no mark of having been previ' onsly used. * Assistant Postmaster General Madden is receiving many replies to his circular seeking the judgment of legitimate news­ papers as to the propriety of ruling out of the second-class mails publications that depend upon premiums for their circu­ lation.

It was shameful, outrageous —he eaid. to himself—that the ninth of a public servant, a mere derk. should be pern;it!<*d to keep up the bars ott the road to Hymen until no preposterous an hour. Marrit re licenses should be procurable at daybreak. It would do no harm if. tbe clerk’s office were kept open all night, like th* wateb-hoofo*. and would doubtlea* b* a great convenience for citlsen*. He wondered if he could not get the Asaemblymati from hi* dhtrict to introduce in th* Legislature a .bill to that effect. And hours later, when he realiaed that, what had been rft tbe first seeming but an annoying delay, had. through tbe evo­ lution of consequent events, developed into overwhelming disaster to bis most cherished plans his rage grew with bis knowledge, nnd he swore by the Devil's Backbone that never would he vote for a candidate unpledged to antagonism to that exasperating and baneful system.of restricting the issuance of marriage li­ censes to the hour* between nine a. m. and four p. m. Well, why not? Have not, party "platforms" contbined less de­ sirable "planks.” -end has not every American citizen an inherent right to copstruct a plank for himself and to jam It into a.platform, too, if he can get help enough to do so? "Now that thee has thy license. John,” said Landlord Robinson to him. “there is hut one minister in Pittsburg who should marry thee, ami that is tbe Rev. Mr. Laidlaw. He filled the pulpit at Candor eleven years ago; is a brother-in­ law, of the Rev.

John, thou eanst not take too many precaution* in this matter. Forget it not, that a Cameron is wedding a Mui veil,' and .instead of its being an occasion to fan the flame of tbe old feud, it .should bring about peace and good will. 'Which it doth, depeudetb in greatest measure upon thee.” “I don't see how." • "Through the degree of respect thou •Lowest. by every detail of thy marriage, for the Mulveil thou bast chosen to take to wife. Do nanght that an enemy might construe into a slight or even a thought­ levs lack of consideration for her." Mrs. Robinson used like arguments with Hetty, until the yoitug couple began imagining that a-marriage celebrated by anybody else than the Rev. Mr. l*aidlaw would be no marriage nt all worthy <>f the Dame, and John went in haste to T>ectirc nt once the services of that neces­ sary functionary. Alas. for.the hours lost in getting the license! The minis ter's wife said that her husband had. about nine o’clock that morning, gone over to Alleghany to confer with some ministerial brother over something they proposed to bring before the. next pres­ bytery. an<f he was Dot nt ail likely to return la-fore dark. But by six o’clock they would certainly find him nt home. Could they not wait until then? "Wait!" Ob. yes. John could, wait and would, if it were absolutely necessary, until even­ ing, but no more. He said to himself that he would see Mr. I^ridlaw and the whole presbytery io Halifax before he would wait until the next day. The weather was altogether too vilely bad for any sight-seeing, to kill time with; and, Indeed, there was not much worth seeing in tbe town in those days; certainly nothing so attractive for John and Hetty as sitting together before the glowing fire In the cosy sitting room of tbe Farmer's Inn, buildftig their castles In the air: They took up that delightful occupation just about where they had left off the night before, and the enchant­ ed land of their mutual dream was fur from the duli,,coid. gray reality of driving rairr and howling wind and plashing mud beneath frowning leaden skies. With his arm about her waist, her bead upon bis shoulder and their voice* murmuring low and tenderly, their soul* floated in uni­ son through a realm warmed and illum­ ined by the roseate »un ot love. Furnishing the castle in the air was now tbe order of business. John rather thought they would not “need to buy a single stick." The great loft of the old homestead was literally filled with bed­ steads, tables, chairs, chests of drawers, and such like stuff, the accumulations of three or four generations of systematic gatherers: and It wks do common, cheap furniture, but solid mahogany; old-fash­ ioned. perhaps, but none the less service­ able. "But, will your mother consent to our taking what we want ?” "She would gladly give us as much .more for taking It away out'of her road.” Neither of them noticed the door opening behind them, and both start­ ed to their fret surprised; red aud ' confuted, as a duet of exclamations buret upon their ears. One, in a big. deep, mas­ culine voire, was simply: “Gosh!” Tbe other, sharply, shrilly feminine. was: “Hakes alive!" Uncle David Hcndcreou and Miss Mary Elder confronted tbe lovers. •Why. Mchitntde Mulveil!" continued tbe spinster, excitedly. "How on earth did yoq come here?’ “In John’s entter, Mary.” answered tbe girl, demurely, with a roguish Utile •mile.. . "Are you married yet?’ demanded Un'ek David.

Efforts have been made for the- last ten years to open the lands 'for settlement and the government only re­ cently reached an agreement with the Indian owners. The opening will give the American bomeseekers tlieir last op­ portunity to select bdines from, a large body of government lands, for nearly all available government land has been homesteaded and even the supply of In­ dian brides with homestead attachments Is running short. The government permits \acb Indian brave, squaw and pappoose that wathirty days old or over when the fall; passed on June 6 1900, to select a quarter section of land. This will take 470,000 acres, aud the Indiana are each given another 100 acres, to be allotted in large bodies for pastures, in total another 470,000 acres. In addition the govern ment pay* to the Indians over S2.000.0Ou for the remainder of the land. This give* to each Indian, man, woman and child, over one month of age. $711. When threservation finally is opened the Indian no longer will be the ward of the United States government. He will be forced to depend on his own exertions the same a- any other reaident of the country. The official* of the general land office expect that the lands will be opened to settlement about Aug. 1 of this year. By the terms of the act of Congress opening this vast region, six months from June 6 last sre allowed in which to make al­ lotments. and the surplus lands must be opened within six months thereafter by proclamation of the President. The date has not yet been fixed, but there is little doubt that the official proclamation will be issued in the near future. For the last thirty years the United States troops have been busy . keeping prospectors and settlers out of the “prom­ ised lands,” as they have cotne to be known to those people familiar with their fertile character. Regardless of the vigi­ lance of th* troops, prospector* have eluded them and hare carefully explored the lands from one side to the other.

Unhealthy Kidneys Kake Impure Blood. All the blood in your body passes through your kidneys once every three minutes. ’ The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fu­ ll ter out the waste or impurities in the blood. If they arosick or out of order, they fall to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu­ matism come from ex­ cess of uric acfd in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and' makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidneypoisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin­ ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for Its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by ail druggists in fiftycent and one-dollar sir­ es.

A young shoot of a cherry cut liack within a few eyes •of-Its base, will form fruit buds on the • • spur left. A pear shoot shortened in • one-half will often form a fruit bud at the point where cut off. Very often a tree which has not fruited will be made to do so for tbq first time by these moans.

If we thought we had soil that needed more lime In it to sweeten it, we would .prefer the phosphate of lime either as an acid phosphate or in the very fine ground phosphatlc rock, ur basic slag, such as are usually called floats. In any strong soli, rich in humus or decay­ ing vegetable matter, or where a green crop had been plowed under, we think .either of these would dissolve quickly, •while the ecw-t la not mu^J greater than :tbat of sulphate of lime or common land plaster. Then we *bould get the benefit of the phosphoric acid as well :ft» at the lime.

In tbe recant quarterly report of the Kansas Department of Agriculture 1* a most excellent artlcfe on Kaffir corn, prei«red' by. J. G. Haney of tbe State Agricultural -College, upon request ol Secretary Coburn. Concerning the bar vesting of tbe crop he says: Kaffir «« remalna green until frost and the seed doe* not shatter; so, if grain Is the only consideration, there Is no great burry to harvest; it can stand until aftet frost aud the stalk is dry. But gener­ ally the fodder U a consideration, as well as tbe grain, and then the problem la to cut when the beat results from ImmIi may Jm- obtained. Tbe longer the fodder stands the harder and leas pul a table It Ixfcometj, while If cut too early 'the beat ylcM of grain I* not secured' After tbe grain ta hardened »o that it Is difficult to mash betwde'n the thumb and finger, and there is little moisture apparently Ln the seed, there will lx very little shrinkage in tbe grain. Thl« would perhaps be called ”Ju*t past the hard dough stage.’' If cut earlier tlie fodder will be letter feed, but there will be conriderable shrinkage Ln the grata. • One thing that has kept this crop from being more generally raised is the problem of Imrvesting. There are a number of methods and they nil have their nrertts. If the fodder is de­ sired for feed it is perhap* iMmt’ to cut stalk nnd all and leave in the shock until dry. Tbe best matffilne for ac­ complishing till* Is the corn binder, whleh leaves It in bundle* of conven­ ient size for handling, and tbe fodder Is held together. The common method, however, i« to cut with a-mower, and tlw> crop should l»e left to cure well before raking. Ordinarily It Is piu into large shocks or small ricks containing from a ton to three tons each. TM* is done wjth a hay gatherer, "buck rake/’ or "go-devll,” and' saves a great deni of handling. It keeps In excellent con­ dition when treated this way and can be hauled when needed. It Is reedy to harveat. in about 105 day* after plant­ ing. and this should be before frost, as freezing while green is detrimental; beside*, tbe hay Will not cure as well in cool weather, and It Is essential that It be a* perfectly cured as possible. • I notice that farms which are rented are not kept in as good condition as farms which are cultivated by owners, says a correspondent of The ITalrie Farmer. \Vhat Is the cause of tbe fun­ down condition of these rented farms: In the first place, there Is very little provision made for keeping stock. There is usually one ssuhU pasture fenced off for a few cows and the horses neeeassry for work on the farm. The sheds that should shelter the cows In the winter are conspicuous by their absence, nnd the horse barns are gen­ erally very i>oor. But the most serious Omission is a hog pasture, which every farm should hove. A good bog pasture would enable the tenant to raise hogs at a profit, which cannot be.done in a dry lot He could feed his corn crop In the fall to a nice bunch of thrifty hogs and realize more for It than If he had sold it off the farm and at the same time return to the soil Ln the form of manure what the soli would be robbed of if the grain had been sold. Every landowner should make provision for keeping stock enough on his farm or farms to consume all the grain that is raised on them. • l Salt and ashes aid digestion In wwine. A clean feeding place for swine is a prime necessity. Lice rarely Infest hogs that have plenty of sulphur. Rusty old straw. Is one of tbe worst materials for bedding swine. Cholera In the herd travels swiftly from one animal to another. The healthy hog’s stomach is as reg­ ular as clockwork in demanding food. When feeding for fattening always watch for signs of indigestion. Obey the first sign by reducing rations. Cholera will be.prevented if sulphur be mixed with the writ and ashes. The sulphur may be mixed with slop also. When a pig refuses to eat and thumps aud has his hair turned the wrong way, trot him out and give him a dose of ax. Make tbe dose a big one. Remember that stuffing and cram­ ming and Jamming fuo-l into a pig to fatten It In a short time is a wholly ab­ normal. unnatural performapct.

Thus It will he iteen that in the last ten year* the star of empire has taken its way westward, so far as population to concerned, only one-thinl as rapidly as formerly. The slight southerly movement of the center of population is’due to the great move­ ment ot.people into Indian Territory, Oklahema and Texas.

All John could do was to leave his address, to l»e giveq to tbe man if bfc ever return­ ed, and with It' a message that if he would come out to the Cameron farm be might stay there until he gut well, "and it wouldn’t cost him a ednt.*’ It was upon one of tbe lovely day* of early spring.- when the dew was still up,on tbe grass, that John turned bi* back upon TemiMTanceriUe. At the top of the first high hill he .turned and gazed upon tbe city. The golden light of the »un, passing through Ahe low hanging dome uf sooty cloud* above it, took on a dull saf­ fron tint, and the two river* looked like tarnished silver.

Through wind­ ing lanes of almost summer verdure, through floating walls of steel—bulwarks of the mourning nation—her body was borne; on land by a gun carriage, oa from Osborne House the afternoon sun ahone brightly on the jewels in the crown and scepter placed oa the oaken coffin containing the body of th® dead sover­ eign.

Mr. Carnegie held bo-' tween 53 and 54 per cent of the $180,000.­ 000 of stock of the Carnegie company This is now in the absolute control of the syndicate beaded by J.

The crucifixion and the adoration are also the subjects of fine frescoes. Among the statues are those of David, Solomon, Daniel and Isaiah.

The following are sample extracts: "I apt already made up my mind," he says, "tn join with’ yiffi in your country 'against the Americans." "Between Gen. Aguinahlo'e determination and myself it would be very little chances left to the in­ vaded army of the United States to con­ quer your country." "Tell Gen. Agulnald® I am already given my services for your country." "I am thinking to go to the Philippine Islands and give my assist­ ance to Aguinaldo against the invaders and hypocrited yankecs, the carpet bag­ ged politician Olla.” "It is my duty to fight against them and support the inde­ pendence of the Filipinos.". "In fighting and destroying the United Slates influ­ ence in the East I would have glory and honor and my work would be appreciat­ ed by the Filipinos, by the Chinese and Japanese and Arabs. It la my great folly to lose all these chances.” it was al»Q| asserted that Wilcox was found gulltyN>f treason against Hawaii in 1895 and sentenced to death, but the penalty was commuted to the payment of a tine and imprisonment.

CHAPTER III. Bat before Jhhn cou|d quite pinke up hi* mind to 'that conclusive action, 'a thrill of hope ran through him. He fan­ cied that he saw-hi* victim mow one of her hands. The motion was so slight that, he could not, at first, be sure his strained sight had .pot played him a trick. Soon-, however. It wa* beyond quest ion, Her long, white fingers that had been outspread, closed slowly, clutch­ ing a handful of leaves. He prayed, raved and shouted to her to "wake up,” but though he was near enough to hear the faint rustling of the dry leaves stir­ red by her hand, she was deaf to all the ' sounds he could, make. Hr would have given years of hi* life to be able to get where she was and try to revive her, but that would have been no leas practica­ ble, had she been upon another planet, instead of stretched out almost beneath bls nose. . The period of the girl's nneonsetouaneas seemed interminable'to Him; for/while it lasted more vivid emotions ran riot through bis perturbed mind than iu all his life*before he had experienced, but in reality it* duration was only a few mo­ ments. Eventually he saw her shiver, draw herself together and alt up, looking about with n dazed expression. There was blood on her neck anil breast, but she did not* nbtice it M “Hetty Mulveil!" be gasped, in blank amazement. “Who would ’*' thought *he’d have been up to such deviltries? I’d 'a' sworn it was Danny.” Ft had not escaped John's observant eye—which had often rested upon her with pleasure nt church, singing school and other public gatherings—that Hetty was a very pretty girl, but never had she seemed to him so superlatively beautiful aa now. The.temporary paleness, conse­ quent upon her swoon, seemed to accen­ tuate the lines of her lovely features; her great mass of wavy, chestnut brown hair fell loosely ujh>u her shoulders; and her involuntary gesture, placing both bet­ hands to her temples, made n most effec­ tive pose for exhibition of the graceful modeling of her jiertert form. What an unspeakable horror to him now wns the thought that bis rash act had come near - to cutting short the life of one that hud suddenly' become dear to him. “Hetty!" he cried, “are you much hurt? Speak to me! Tell me! Great gosh! I’m gettin’ wild away over here.' it-here I epn’t half tell yon how sorry J am!” She looked nt him with a smile, n* the color Mme back to her checks, and im­ plied : "Hurt? No. I'm not- hurt. What arc you sorry for?” “For shootin’ you,” "Shootin’ me? Why. no.” “I tell you. yes. Can’t 1 sec the. blood on your neck? But I-didn't mean to-Ix>rd knows I never thought it was you!" She started, when he sp»<e of blood on her neck, put up her hand, and finding that be said truly, bad no little ditficulty to keep from fainting a second time. But her nerve wns good.- und after feeling gently with’her finger tip* for the wound, she forced a light laugh, as she replied: - haw! That's nothing. Just a lit­ tle chip off the end of my ear and a teeny skelp off the side of my neck." “My God!” thought John, with a thrill of horror. “An inch to the right would have sent the bullet through her head. Only blind chance saved her." ”1’didn’t really mean to shoot at you. Miss Mulveil," he said, in a tone of very earnest apology, “because, you see, I didn't know it was you. 1 thought it was that limb of Satan, Danny, who had been heaving rocks down at me. and f just wanted to drive him off." "Indeed, 1’don't wonder at it," answer­ ed Hetty, sympathetically, "for a more provoking |»oy don’t walk the earth. Many’s the time l’ve told him something would happen to biiu, if n judgment didn't overtake him first. But he has pope to get help for you now, nnd that's something iu his favor.” "I don't know,” responded John, doubt­ fully. "He may not come back iu a week.” “Well, 1 guess we needn’t wait for him. If this hickory were to Ik- felled, with the fork into that tree you’re on, couldn't you climb up?" "Sura. But who’s to fell the hickory?" "I am.

"1’11 climb down soon enough, but I want to stay here as long as I can." • What for?" "To look at you." “You just want to lough at my chop­ ping." . ’.’Indeed I don't. I just can’t any more get enough of seeing you. That's what is the fact." Hetty’s cheeks burned, but her eyes sparkled with pleasure. Affecting to laugh, *be turned away, picked up the ax and *et to work on the doomed tree. John admiringly watched, while the chip* flew from beneath her vigorous stroke*, until the hickory wa* half felled. Then, before descending out of the way, he said, heartily: ‘ "You do handle an ax a* well aa I could myself." * With what 'plcasurr-Hetty beard that commendation of hCr ability! She had been told the same thing often before; but’ what, to her. were the praises of oth­ er* compared with John’* approval?

By virtue of an act of Congress passed last June, a tract of land sixty miles, square in Oklahoma territory is to bw opened for settlement some time thia, year. Just when President McKinley, will issue the proclamation entitling the public to race for homesteads in wbat iaknown as “Beautiful Land" cannot be definitely announced at present. But offi­ cials believe that all preliminary work will be completed by the middle of next August. This will be the last great strug­ gle for free homes iu America. Description* of the wealth aud fer­ tility uf Oklahoma have excited much interest in the farms in that part of thocountry, and already intending settler* are camping on the border line waiting, for the President to proclaim the ground*' open. Many young lawyers, physician* *nd enterprising business men may b* found who We Tanking preparations go to that part of Oklahoma territory to seek their fortunes. There are report* of new railway developments in the terri­ tory, and the establishment of new bank*, new building associations and insurance companies is advertised; in fact, every­ thing points to a boom ia that region as soon as the "farm rush ’ begins. The Interior Department and executive officers of the territory are receiving daily hundreds of communications con­ cerning the opening of this land for s»-ttlement. From the information that can be gathered, the number of farms in the Kiowa nnd Comanche reservation* is by no means adequate to meet the demand. Mrs. O’Rourke, widow of Richard O'Rourke, formerly chief of the metro­ politan police of Topeka, Kan., shot her­ self through the bead at Manhattan, Kan., killing herself instantly.

Th* comer in Northern Pacific had assum«-d such colossal I” proportions that in­ ’ evitable ruin stared hamlreds of men in the face. "A patjk* ■worse than that of*tte memorable ".Black Friday” threatened to wipe out not only the "lamin,' but hundreds of old and wealthy traders. Wall street was in the throes of the most violent conrplslons that have ever teen encountered in the ’ wildest speculatin'!).' M ' In the craze to- liquidate, due to tte “corner," Northern Pacific was run up from tj»* elose of 100 Wednesday to $1.­ 000 per share. The effect of this was •tunning. The floor of tbe Stock Ex­ change presented a scene that defies de­ scription. Up and up went the stock at bounds of 20 point)!. Roon the ma<! fever drove the price up Jo 1.000 bid. Nothing like this has-ever happened in the his­ tory of speculation. x • The *hing which finally operated to cheek the mad scramble to sell nnd to ek-ar up the horizon foi* the following day was the announcement that Kuhn. Loeb & Co. and J. P. ’Morgan &. Co. bad agreed not to call upon Northern Pacific shorts for tte delivery of the •fork Thursday.

Supreme Court Justice ’ 'Gildersleeve issued .an Injunction re•training the giants of Wall Htreet from • buying or selling shares of Northern Pa­ cific stock. The injunction was granted at the-requevt of David I^imar, n broker, who Is said to have acted ks an agent for James R. Keene. Keene is credited, with haring instigated the proceeding* for the purpose of relieving the conditions of the market. This order was uw-d as a elub to compel the warring factions to break the rofper and allow the shorts to settle When the gavel fell for the opening ot the market the largest gallery of the •week was watehlng tte acene, drawn to <he exchange by the hint that there would . te a general crash and many failures. The first-stroke of the gavel was hardly audible. The second and third • were drowned In a storm of vocal uproar that •chord in the vast building like tbe hur­ rah of a regiment. It wan a very rude •wakening when the first sale of North­ ern Pacific wax made at 170. which was « gain of 20 points. ’ • The worst, however, was yet to come. There was a let-down to 170 from the first jump, at which some sorely pressed bear succeeded In getting 100 share*. On fire additional transactions the price ran to 205 “cash,”, dropped back to 190 ’’reg­ ular." Then the price went on skyward. No sooner had the giant* of wealth be­ gun oncy more the assault upon Northern Pacific than there was a crash in stocks Which is unrqualcd in the history of the exchange. AH’ the railroad slocks tum­ bled with one accord save Northern I’atfiftv. which changed hands in lots ot ■nbousands at $390. $509 and $790. A few year* ago this stock. went begging at <$&d)0. It was like n battle scene with -ihe cries of the wounded and slain now «M then drowned by tte shrill .cry of vic­ tory of those who had prepared them•elves for just what look place. Meanwhile there were rumblings in ptter qunrterx. The rest of tbe market ppened down from 1 to 14 points for all •locks, railways, industrials and trac­ tions. Then there was a slight recovery. But wb-u the corner in Northern Pacific warted its zenith there was a convul­ sive movement and then carne a great slump in all Morte. Nortteru Pacific dropjied 15 points.

Each party had in their strong boxes a large bail: amcMint of shares, but neither a controll­ ing interest. To secure this they both went info the open market to buy it, with the result that has bven’secn. The price of the shares went to $1,909 and fluctu­ ated wildly. Every bid carried with it p^nic and ruin for the unhappy specula­ tors who-were outside the sciJpe ot the contending factions. CHICAGO BAUD HIT. Chicago lay directly in thr path of the financial tornado which broke ov<v New York ut»d received thr full force of the terrific “twister." thr equal of which has Salle street. Mushroom fortune* sud­ denly amassed in the recent phenomenal boom in stocks and other fortunes .ac­ cumulated through years of toll were swept away in the panic. Chicago stock speculator* were generally losers by the crash. 11100x11 it la estimated that a man with $100 in'his pocket in the morn­ ing might have gone to his luncheon sev­ eral hundred thousand dollars winner If WAS A "BLACK THURSDAY." Black Friday and tte patties of ’73 and *03 cannot longer be referred to as high water marks of calamity in Wall street history. A new record was” made Thursday. It was q day of whirlwinds, wherein fortunes were blown }o frag­ ments. where industrial fabrics were wrecked, where tb« tarings of years were swept away. Northern Pacific was the keynote of rhe situation. It was the pivot upon which the market swung. Enough money was lost to build fifty Northern Pacific roaiis. to girdle the world wlth'trnnaportatiou lines. To hun­ dreds tbe panic meant a fortune. To thousands it meant ruin. • Early in(the day the bonks, thoroughly frightened, began to call their loans, lire result was a calamity tte like of which \Vall Ktrcet has never before known. Men of millions, on the wrong side- of tbe market and unable to get out. were on their knees during the day begging for quarter—for financial hr^p 'at nny 'price. The banks ’ were besieged, the money lenders were overrun, and Wall street saw the greatest panic of its his­ tory. Rich and poor lost half a billion dollars. Price* were knocked down from 10 to 00 iwints. The stock exchange was mad. Between 11 o’clock and noon the majority of brokerage houses, if state­ ment had been compelled, would have failed. Nltan-y was loams! «t 40 and 00 per cent. Northern Pacific stock sold as high ns $1,000 cash for a single shore. The Northern Pacific corner was com­ plete. The •'shorts"’ were stricken and utterly routed^ ami at noon they sent word to the giants—who cynically contin­ ued their contest for Northern Pacific control—that the stock exchange wonbl be insolvent unless mercy were shown. The Harriman-Kuhn-lAieb-ltoekefelter faction on «»• aide, ami the Morgnn-Hill syndicate ou the other, stopped fighting only at the moment that they found they might carry themselves down in the ruin. At the end of the day both aides claimed control of the Northern Pacific. Tbe mighty pile of profits haring been swept away in a twinkling, .panic stared the nation in tte face. Thea the warring factions announced that they would not demand farther delivery from "shorts" of Northern Pacific stock. This declarntion and millions loaned by the hankers sav­ ed the day. The market rallied in the clotting hours, but the day’s end saw the greatest UMrknt the world ever witnexaed flattened, weak and almost in detqiair. Wahbington, it is said, buffered from the crash in stocks jtnrt as much'in pro- any other city. Hundred* of residents of the national capital, who a few day* ago .had fortunes on paper, are now prac­ tically penniless.

The cabinet and other members of thd party carried out the program as arranged, arriving In San Francisco on Tuesday. .The day after leaving New Orleans a bone felon appeared upon Mrs. McKin­ ley’s finger, and the soreness was aggra­ vated by the hand being bruised agaih*t the side of the car as the train rounded a curve. Her hand became swollen and gave her considerable pain nnd produce! fever which prevented her from sleeping. Dr. Rixcy lanced the felon twice and gave her some relief in that way. Mrs. McKinley |>ore it. all very bravely and urged continually that the program at the cities nnd towns en route should not be modified in any particular on her ac­ count. Condition Become* Rerious. From a source not official, but very close to the executive household, R was stated Thursday that Mr*. McKinley’s condition was worse tiffin Mr. Cortelyon would admit. It was said a persistent attack of’ dysentery that was developed in Texas had reduced her to u shadow of her former self. The felon which devel­ oped on her bund at nbout the sanfr time caused her to have high fever. She suf­ fered intense pain, which increased her nervousness and the . combination of these two causes depressed her spirits It was thought when the party waa at Monterey that by going at once to San Francisco, where the patient coul^ have rest and quiet, she would quickly recov­ er. The result, however, was not what the physicians expected. Secretary* Cortelyou was questioned Thursday concerning a rumor that Mrs. McKinley was near death and that the doctors feared n fatal termination of her illness. He said: “I cannot tell ydu that. All that the President desires me to »sy in regard to her condition is contained In the official bulletin.” The gravity of Mr*. McKinley's condi­ tion had been known to the members of the President’s Immediate party for se»eral days, but had been concealed in the belief that she would rally, as she had *o frequently in the past when suffering from ou.- of her per^pds of depression, and with a few days of absolute quiet and rest be restored to normal condition.. Buf her illness was attended with, en­ tirely new complications, which did not yield to treatment, nnd the President concluded Wednesday it was tinje the public should be apprised of the true situation. He was anxious that the citi­ zens of the cities and towns along the planned route of his return trip who hare made such extensive preparations for his visit should receive prompt noti­ fication of the circumstances which com­ pelled his decision. From the time Mrs. McKinley arrived at the Scott residence she was desper­ ately ill. Her extreme weakness w.-i* a most alarming feature of her condi­tion. Her vitality waa at low ebb and she seldom spoke to those about her. The President wns continually at her' bedside save the few hours Monday af­ ternoon. when he left her to go to Sani Jose and the three hours he spent ini the San Frandaco parade. Fortunately Mrs. McKinley slept through his ab­■ sence on both these occasions. The strain which the President him­ self has undergone has been very great. It was a personal sacrifice tor him to car­ ry out his engagement* at Sun Francisco in order not to diaappoiot the people. All day Wednesday, except for a brief half hour in the afternoon, when be yielded to the entreaties of those about him and went out for a drive,, he remaineti stead­ fastly at his wife’s aide. The members of the cabinet reluctantly consented to carry out the day’s program at the Unirersity of California and at Oakland, but they had no heart to put into the festivi­ ties while their chief was grieving. bricks and missile*.

Dowie'* appearance at the inquest marked- his first testimony during his residence in Chicago as to the death of one of his follower*. Judd was the first witness, nnd he reconnted a hmnless story of the sufferings of his wife. He told of going back to his bed and resting after he had called up Dowie on thn • telephone and asked him to pray for his wife. He declared that had his wife ask­ ed for a physician he would not have called one. “Would you have re tuned the dying request of your wife had she asked that a physician be summonedY’ asked the coroner of Mr. Jtidd. “Yes, air, I would," was the answer. “I would right uilnd bad she made such a requeai.’’ After Judd had finished Dowie took the stand and told his story.

The general strike order sent out by President James O'Cannell of the International Machinists' Union lodged the power in every local officer to call out the men unless thejr wwfe grant­ ed the nine-hour day with the same pay they received for ten hours. The agitation has been going on for over a year, nnd the machinists believe the manufacturer* will yield to their de­ mands sooner than risk nn npheaval dur­ ing the busiest period In tbe history of manufacturing industries tbc country has ever seen. More than -100,009 machin­ ists are involved in the struggle, - and tbe amount of capital against them runs into theshundreds of millions. Not fewer than 300,000 workmen are rtinnipg ‘tha risk of' being out of work during the fight. Reports recelypd by President O'Connell late Monday indicated that a large number of establishments -hereto­ fore holding out against the demands of tbe men. were making the necessary coricessions. The transport Sheridan arrived from Manila during the day, with a.large num­ ber of soldier* on board, and as it steam­ ed into the harbor the presidential party, on the Biocum, steamed out to and around the transport. It was bat a few seconds before thif soldiers, crowding on the rail* of the transport, recognixed the President, nnd their enthusiasm at the unexpected welcoming by their President knew no bounds. . v The President drove rapidly through the street* and wns cheered enthusias­ tically and in response repeatedly lifted his hat. Arrived at the transport dock, he lioarded the government tug Slocum, which was to carry the presidential par­ ry and congressipual delegation and oth­ er favored guests to the scene of the launching at the Union iron work*. Be­ sides the cabinet members and the la­ dies. there were on board- the little vessel Gov. Nash of Ohio and, his staff. Mi** Barber, niece -of Mrs. McKinley, ami Miss Deshler and her sister. A great fi«-et of craft of every possible description had preceded the President out into the blue waters of tbe bay. all loaded down to. the water’s edge with masses of humanity anxious to do the President honor. It watt a glorious sight. Flags and bunting streamed from their fastenings in the cool breeze, flags flut­ tered and Ktrenmers of national colors trailed in the wind. Bands played popu­ lar airs and there Wa* an incessant cheer­ ing. .Added to the noise which issued from the smaller craft in the bay was the boom of tbe ennnon from several warships anchored in the harbor. All along tbe water front the fleet of boat* were given ovations nnd returning cheers and salutes were echoed ail down -the bay. * . The Ohio party boarded the steamer Resolute and the United States steamer McDowell conveyed Gen. Shafter and his officers of the post and the women of their party to the «*ne of the festivi­ ties. .

The President was greeted with a cheer and . was pre­ sented a gold plate in memory of the oc­ casion.

When the gale was nt its height aud the boat was plunging through the big scan, he threw higiself prostrate on the deck, clinging to tho stump of the mainmast to save himself from being swept overboard.

Mr. McLeod's morning ser-' mou—rather shorter than usual and ap­ propriate to the occasion—was followed by the simple but impressive i-ereluouial in commemoration of the Last Supper., ' Before tbe pulpit stood a long, narrow table, draped With a snowy linen cloth. u[x>u which rested a great chalice aud a broad plate, Ixith of solid silver and an■ tique form, each covered by a white nap­ kin. {'lain lieuchcs extended along, the sides ot the table. - ' While the whole assemblage joined in singing the Twenty-fourth Psalm, mem. here of the congregation arose from their , place* in the pews and went forward to the table until the benches were filled. After a" short prayer in consecration of the elements,- the minister uncovered the euchariatic vessels and, himself'first par­ taking of the bread piled upon the plate and touching bis lips to the Wine in the • cup, passed them succeMlveiy to the dea­ - con", who carried them along the libes of the communicaDU, presenting them In turn to each. By tacit understanding and established custom, the older ml-mbers of the congre­ gation occupiiMi seats at tbe first table. Side by side among them, at this .time. ' sat Mrs. Camcront and Mrs. Mulveil. ^helr hands touched in taking the conse­ crated bread; their eyes met, and they •railed kindly mpta each other; for with rhe suddenness of the lightning's flash the solemn rite thrilled iu their hearts a common chord. How many years they bad sat together at the Lord's table, side by side with the dear one* lung since gone to the, farther shore! How few times inore, at.most, might they hope to meet here, ere .they too would be sum­ moned to, cross the dark river! Were they not sisters in affliction—sister* in lore and Christian hope? ' Though there were many present who had not yet formally united themselves to the congregation by profession of faith. - , and who consequently did not partake of the communion, enough members present­ ed themselves to till the tables a second and a third time. While the second table Was being fill­ ed, « latecomer, a large, heavy man. 'roughly clad and wearing a great beard, entered the church. He came in at the tracks of the congregation, while all were intent upon the ceremony iu front, sank quietly into n seat by the door and alto­ ' gether escaped observation. Near the end of the services he glided out and disappeared. According to 4Hi:iu*morial custom, then., were two long services in the observance of communion Sabbath. The first was devoted to tbe commemorative rite, al­ ready outlined, but the second had no distinctive or peculiar features, being merely according to the routine follow**! u|>«n other Sundays, except that ix-rhaps the sermon was a little longer than us­ ual. Between the two there was neces­ sarily a “reeria,” of from one to two hours, for rest and refreshment. Dur­ ing that time, the vicinity of the cbarch preaented the unique spectacle of a pious picnic. Each family brought along su ample stere of rabstantial cold provis­ ions and toothsome* delicacies, which were sppetixingly offered upon table­ cloths spread on the graas, or, less osten­ tatiously but perhaps as satisfactorily, devoured by, handfuls from baskets in tbc wagons and around the spring.

But ir never would really die out. so long as the, record stood ou the squire’s books that there was u warrant out against him for theft. It worried me, I tell you.-and I came here to-day mainly in ’he hope of meeting John ami arranging with hinrto do as he might think best in the matter. And now' that it is settled as It is. I'm as right-down jlnd of it as you can be yourself, John Cameron.’’ He and John shook hands heartily, and the constable asked: • “How's your wife?” : . John reddened and, with an embarrass­ ed air, replied: ' “I haven't any." “What! Didn't you and Hetty Mnlveil run off to Pittsburg and get married?” “W* eloped, it is true: but the- belief that you had lost your life, and the no­ tion that I was somehow to blame tor it put a temporary stop to the proceed­ ings. Hetty is still Hetty Mnl­ veil, but I don't mean she shall be much longer, please God.** “Well. Sim Mnlveil—cotint him dead or count him alive—won’t stand in your way any more, my boy.

"I didn't know until now, John.

Wa have come- to settle this business at once." "Oh!” was all she could find breath to At that moment Cousin Simeon finish­ ed his story, and John, stepping forward nnd addressing himself to Hetty’s moth­ er, said: . •’Mrs. Mulveil, I loro Hetty, and Hetty hives me,| we art1 going to be married, and would like to have your eousenj, if you have no Objections.’' "John Cameron.” she replied, deliber­ ately, *Tvc no doubt you are as good- as tbc general run of young men nowadays and mean all you say; but 1 have aaid and -declared that Hetty should not mar- “Tea.

He’s verra much better; in fact, quite superior; a most worthy young mnu aud well-to-do. I’ll vouch for. him, and I do hope you’ll give your consent— for my anke.” he-added, in a whisper, slyly pressing her hand. The minister. Uncle DavM and Simeon, each iu turn, added his arguments aud so­ licitations to influence her, with such earnestness and volubility as quite d**ed her, ami she stared helplessly nt them, from one to another. In point of fact they were wasting their efforts.

They would ndt let her say that she had recently changed her \mind. Indeed, the minister,.having got his ai“eond wind, *•«» starting in afresh when she reached out fur John and Het­ ty, eaught one of them with eneh hand and Iraugrd them together, exclaiming: "There! llier*! Take her before they talk the head off of me! 1 hope you’re all satisfied now!” Hearty laughter, congratulations and expression* of good, wiahea all around followed. Then John, taking Hetty's hand, drew her up to hia left side in front of the minister, Maying: "Now! Go tfhead!” . fHobFou! Hold oh!

Keep your places!" answered the giant, hurriedly trotting sway. • While they were still wondering what new notion possessed him, he returned, almost out ot breath, bringing with Im tn John’s, mother and demure little Miss Maty Elder. To the latter he said: “Last night you gave me your promise that you would Itecume niy wife ut the mine time Hetty married John. Accord­ ing to Che term* of that agreement, you have Iras than two minutes to remain M*ry Elder.” “Oh! But—good graclou*. Sir. Hender*on!

It must'be remembered that the great .majority of the small investors are rep­ resented in the small companies.

Now, a first-class gusher In the Beaumont field bus been selling for $1.250,000. It will require another million for pipe lines and tankage and a quarur of a million" for other expenses before fuel oil market* have been opened up. If the gushers would continue to gush as they are now doing everything would lie profitable to the owners, but soofier or later the. pump* •wil| have to be applied and then divi. dends will decreaM*. Even then it might be possible to pay Interest on the invest­ ments, of the big companies, but the pros­ pect* of the smaller ones arc exceeding­ ly gloomy. .■ Most of the other companies are cap­ italised from $200,000 to $1,000,000.

Should these small companies strike oil and should the flow average <00 to 200 barrel* a day. which would be a big well as wells go, the ques­ tion thru arises what would they do with the product? The big gushers, even after the pumps ore applied, will supply nil the fuel oil for which there is a market for many, years to con e. f<Jr it will be n long time before coal will be generally sup­ planted.

Porto Hico is nut a "foreign coun■try,” and therefore the Dingley law. -which levies duties upon goods imported "from foreign countries," docs not apply to Porto Rico. Nor yet is "Porto Rico a part of the United States.” It is a do­ mestic territory, over which Congress has "nurestrii’ted control.” Much confusion existed until the last as to the purport and effect of the decis­ ions, owing to the IndiatinCtneiui of delta-ery from the bench. Because of . the fact •that the decision in ‘the .DeLima case, Arat announced, was antagonistic to the contention of the government, it was gen­ erally reported that the court had over­ thrown the government generally, and that, in the common parlance of the cases, "the constitution did follow the Ths salient points of the great decision ’ -which the court handed down are. how­ ever, found to be: First—That (be-constitution did follow the flag, that Porto Rico and the Philip­ pine Islands became parts of tbe United States as soon as tbe treaty of peace was ratified, and that all duties collected ou merchandise passing between the main­ land and the! islands under tbe Diqgley law were Illegal and must be refunded. Second—That the Foraker act is con­ stitutional. and that Congress has the Tight to legislate for the territories^ with•ut regard to the provision-of the consti­ tution which requires all duties, imposts •nd excises to be uniform throughout the United States. Insular Policy Sustained. The government was beaten in the first ease, and sustained in ths second. As •the Foraker act was the main issue, it -can be stated generally that the insular .policy of the adm|nistratisn has been sus­ tained by the court of-last rraurt. Both of the issues decided by the court ■ express the opinion of a bare majority of the nine justices. That majority was rewsrasd completely by the action of one member of the court. Justice Brown, who £eld first that Porto Rico, clearly became « part of tbe United States in a general sense the moment the treaty of peace was ratified, ami then the same justice held that Congress had the power to leg­ - Islatc for tbe territories independent of the constitution. To show how curiously the court re­ -versed Itself in tbe same day, it is neces«ary to note that tbe*majority of the -court, which declared tbatsthe islands b<came part of the United States when the treaty was ratified, wna made up of Jus­ tices Brown. Fuller. Harlan. Brewer and Peckham. To tfiis decision Justices Gray. White, Shiras and McKenna dissented. "Then, in tbe second case, whfrein the right of Congress to legislate fur tbe tcrriturie* independent of tbe c<>nstitntiuo was sustained. the majority was owde up «! Justuv-* Browa, Shiras, White. Gray •nd McKinna. To this decision Chief Justice Fuller.' Justices Harlan. Brewer .and Peckham dissented. Ths curious feature, of course, is that Justice Brown, who acted first with one quartet and then with another quartet, delivered the majority opinion in each •eass. To cap the climax, when he deliv­ ered tbe opinion sustaining the right of Congress to legislate for tbe territory •nd upholding tbe constitutionality of tbe Foraker act, hie reason for arriving at his dadaion was dissented to not only by tbe four dissenting justices but even by the four with whom be was acting to snake up a majority.

The cari>et was nearly threadbare, and the curtains of dark -red moreen were very dingy. My bedroom opened upon a dismal back yard, where a dog in a ken­ nel howled dejectedly from time to time, and rattled his chain as it to remind me that I - was a prisoner like himself. . I had no book's, no work, no music. It was a dreary place to pass a dreary time in; and my only resource was to pace to and fro—to and fro from one end to an­ other of those wretched rooms. A very alight sound grated on my ear; it was the hateful click of the key turn­ ing in the lock. A servant entered, car­ rying ih a tray, upon which were a lamp and my tea—such a meal as might be prepared for a school girl in disgrace. She came up to me, as if to draw down the blinds. . •. ■ "Leave them,” I said; ”1 will do it my­ self by nn.l by.” “He's not coming home to-night,;' said a woman’s voice behind me, in a scoffing I’-could see her in the mirror without turning round. A handsome woman, with bold black eyes. nnd. a rouged face, which allowed coarsely', in the ugly look­ ing glass. • She was extravagantly drossed. and not many years older than my­ self. I took too notice whatever of her. but continued to gnse out steadily'ut the lamp-lit streets-and stormy sky. "It will be uo better for you when he la at home," she said fiercely. “He bate* you; he Nwenrs so a hundred times a" day. and he is determined to break your proud spirit. We shall force you to knock un­ der sooner* or later. What friends have you got anywhere to take your aide? If you'd made friends with me, my fine lady, you’d have found it good for yourself; but you've chosen to make me your en­ emy. nnd 1’11 make him your enemy.” "I set my teeth together and gave no indicatlun that 1 had heard one word of her taunting speech.

So then three weeks of this hasn't broken you down yet! We shall try other mean* to-morrow." She came* up to where I stood, shook her clenched hand in my. face and flung herself out of the room, pulling the door violently after her. 1 turned my head round.

I had not time to put on thicker boots; and it was perhaps essential to the success of my flight to steal down (he stairs in the soft velvet slippers I was wearing. 1 stepped aa lightly as I -could. I‘crept past the drawing room door. The heavy house door opened with a grating of the hinges; but I stood ontxide it in the shel­ ter of the portico—free, but with the rain and wind of a stormy night In October tenting against me. 1 darted straight across the muddy road «nd then turned sharply round a corner. 06 I fled breathlessly. .La I drew, nearer to shop windows an omnibus-driver, weing me run toward him, pulled up his horses in expectation of a passenger. I sprang in, carjng very little where It might carry me. so that I could get quick­ ly enough nnd far enough out of the reach o' my pursuers. There had teen no time to Itfse, tft»d none wns lost.

"This way &>r Havre and Paris!" To which boat ahoLld 1 trust myself and my fate? . A mere accident decided it. Near the* fore part of the train I saw the bri-xd, tall figure of my new friend, the seaman, milking his way across to the boat for the Channel Wands; and I made up my mind to gu on board the same steamer, for I had an instinctive feeling that he would prove a real friend. 1 went down immediately into the ladies’ cabin, which was almost empty, and ehose a berth for myself in the darkest corner. It was not far from the door, nnd preseptly two other ladies Vnmc down, with a gentle­ man and the captain, and held an anxious parley close to me. "Is there any danger?*.’ asked one of the ladies. "Well. I cannot say positively there will be no danger." answered the cap­ taint "there’s not danger enough to keep me and the crew In port; but it will be a very dirty night In the Channel. Of course we sb^ll use extra caution, and all that sort of thing. No; I cannot say I expect any great danger.” . “But’•it will be awfully rough?” said the gentleman. it was very stormy and dismal as soon as we were out of Southampton water, nnd in the rush and swirl of the Chan­ nel. It did* not alarm me so much aa it distracted my thoughts. My hasty escape had’been so unexpected, so unhoped for. that it had bewildered me, and it was almost a pleasure to lie still and listen to the’din and uproar ot the sea. Was I myself or no? Was this uotning more than a very vivid dream, from which I should awaken by and by to find myself a prisoner still, a creature as wretched and friendless as any that the streets ot London contained? I watched tbe dawn break thrungh a little porthole opening. upon my berth, which had been washed nnd beatefa by the water nil the night long. The stew­ ardess had gone away early in the night, go I was alone, with the blending light of tbe early dawn and that of the lamp fonsly unstitched the lining of mv jacket. Here, months ago, when I first tegan to foresee this emergencj’, and whilst I was still allow­ ed tbe use of my money, I had conceal/d counted, them over,'eight of them; forty pounds in all. my sole fortune, my only means of living. True, 1 had a diamond ring and a watch and chain, but how ditflcuit and dangerous it would te for me to sell either of them! Practically my mesas were limited to the eight antes of five pcuRMfr each. k* the light grew I left my berth and oualy. asking ms if I had no smaller change.

He took .It with an air of friendly protection. "What is your name, mam'zelle?” he inquired. "Oh! my name is Olivia,” I said. 1 went below, Inexpressibly satisfied and comforted.

At time* I wished earnestly that I had Bren born among the people with whom 1 had uow come to live. Tardif led a somewhat solitary life himself, even in this solitary island, with its scanty population. There was an ugly church, but Tardif and his mother d4d not frequent it. They belonged to a little knot of dissenters, who met for worship in a small room, when Tardif generally took tbe lead. For this reason n sort of coldness existed between him nnd the larger portion of his fellow i#!"gflders. But there was a second and more Im­ portant cause of estrangement He hud niarrled nn Englishwoman many years ago. much to the disappointment of his neighbors; and since h*c death he hud held himself aloof from all the good wom­ en who would have bee* glad enough to undertake tbe task of consoling him for her loss. . Tardif, therefore, was left very much to himself in his isolated cot­ tage; and his mother's deafness cau^yd her also to be no very great favorite with any of the gossips of the island; I learned afterwards that Tardif had said my' name was Ollivier. and tbey jlimped to the conclusion that 1 belonged to u family of that Dame in Guernsey: this shielded me from curioidty.

His Mania la fbr Clocks. One of the most Ingenious mechanics In the world is-a Frenchman named Le Bouliat. living at L* Uoutaneaa, who has made himself famous for the curl­ bus clocks he manufactures. He. can make n clock out>-of almnst any con­ ceivable material. Straw and paper ure among the raw materials he use*. For twenty year* he has been manufac­ turing frenk clocks and most French­ men who want something out of the cOnunon In that llt/e apply to Le Boullat. I . A while ago be turned a lot of news­ papers Into pulp, mlxed.lt with burden­ ing substance and carved the clock out of the compound. Even tbe wheels and all tbe machinery of the clock'we're made of thia material. Naturally this curious clock does not keep very cor­ rect time, but lhe 'wonder Is that It goes at all. 'rhe newspaper clock Is one' of Mr. Le Boullat's latest tri­ umphs. • . Another of Ma designs appears to be merely a collection of large and small sticks held together by wires. It Is only upon close inspection that one see* that it la a-clock romrtracted ou excel­ lent principles. It keeps very fair time, never varying more than two minutes in a week* - Now and then the clockmaker receives coiuniissious from wealthy Frenchmen forelocks of unique design In silver or gold, decorated* with precious stones. Some of these clocks are entirely made of gold, with diamond-tipped hands, and rubles, gurnets. (H-arls, opals nnd emeralds to represent the figures on the dial. Some of bls clocks are beau­ tiful works of art and -a few of the most interesting specimens are nmoug •be smallest of tlnjeplecft*. Mcgwecney and beyond recall. Both agreed to appeal to the people and seek re-election jkj the issues Involved. It may end tbe factions! fight by retiring both men to oblivion and . naming new Senators for South Carolina. Tillman represents th* Bryan and Pop­ ulist .Democracy of tbe State, while Mc­ Laurin stands for tip n-w and conserva­ tive Democracy, which la a protest against Tilimsniam and all ita so-called heresies and fantasies. Between both men and their followers there has been bitter war. The feeling resulted ia a challenge debate on the issue* Saturday. At the-close ot the ttetete 'MclJiurin challenged Tillman.to resign bis seat and he would do the same and both would ap­ peal to the people. "McLaurin made a bluff at me and did not think I would call it/* said Tillman afterward. "He taunted me by Baying I would not leoyc my six-year bomb-pzoof position. I calwd the bluff and in so do­ ing believe 1 have made a ten’-atrike for pie ip decide." The approaching battle between Sen­ ators McLaurin and Tillman will be watched cloaely b/ all Americana who take pleasure in a wapn political fight. The two.men have stripped tor the fray. Each haa thrown off what Is called the "senatorial toga.” The Governor holds the resignations of both of them to take effect in the middle of September. • A Democratic primary election is to be held a month or so thereafter, and the men designated by it are to be appointed by the Governor to fill the vacancies. Thia is a novel way of settling a dispute be­ tween rival Senators as to who beat rep^ resents bls constituents. The stakes are not equal. Senator Tillman ha* six year* yet to serve, and Senator McLaurin but two. The former will lose much-more than the latter'In the event of defeat, but he does not ex­ pect to be beaten. Probably he will not be. There will be a hot campaign next fall. Innumerable speeches will be made which would hove led to bloodshed once, but which will not have deadly conse­ quences now. Nearly every South Caro­ lina Democrat will go to the polla>an>i vote for men for Senators who exactly represent bis principles. EX-GOV.‘TANNER LAID TO REST.

That much nt least waa decided at the cabinet meeting Tuesday. Secre­ tary Root *ud Attorney General Knox united in .expressing the opinion that there* wa* nothing in the recent decisions •f the Supreme Court which need alter in any material degree the pion* already laid dpwn for the government of the Philippines. A form of civil government for the islands will be established a* soon after July 1 as it can pomibly be done. There will be a deviation frum the orig­ inal plan only so fa'r ns regards the ques­ tion at theory. The Spooner resolution is not-to be relied upon at all. On the contrary, the civil government to be es­ tablished by the’Taft commission will act under the authority of the war power of the government. It will create muni­ cipal and provisional government*, but each of these -will derive it* authority from the powers-of the President a* cummauder-iu-chief. - . TJierc will be no limit to the free exer­ cise of the civil government in the I'fajl-. ippines. nnd after a while it will be en­ tirely independent of a military com­ mander. It has been held that the Presi­ dent can govern the islands whfiout ques­ tion by the exercise of his military’au­ thority, while it is nn open question how far he can go in thi* direction under the delegated authority he acquired, from the Spooner resolution.. For the present nt least the Dingley rates will be enforced in San Francisco and other United States ports against Manila, and the rate* of duties In tho isl­ ands will be Jhose fixed by the old Span­ ish tariff ns modified by the military or­ der* of Gen. Otis and hia successor*. It will be remembered that the Supreme Court, iu its decision*, hijld that the tar­ iff promulgated by Gen. Miles, a« a mili tary commander In Porto Rico, wa* en­ tirely legal, because it wns a proper and eren necessary exercise o? the war power. The administration i*. therefore, proceed­ ing on this name theory. It assumes that the Philippine.* "are not yet actually .in the possession of the United States, nnd hence a government under the military power Is actually a necessity to provide for the well being-of tlio people. Th civil government to be established by th;Taft commission will be nominally hpder control of the military authorities, but In reality will be independent. It will be analogous to the municipal and provincial government* in Cuba, which derive their authority from the commandinu- general, although the people themselves administer them. In this re­ spect, the Philippine government wilj In­ distinctly different from thnt created fur Porto Rico under the Foraker law. Thj* difference, it will be observed, h much more one of theory than of actual fact. The original instruction* to the Taft commission have been, revived >nd will form the temporary constitution of the island. . In manifest disproof of the theories that the administration is pro­ ceeding along arbitrary Hues, it is ex­ tremely timely to note that the*® instruc­ tion* to the Philippine eommission. writ­ ten by the President, include certain In­ violable rules for the government of the Philippines. These rules, which cannot be violated by the commission or by any one else, are in-Jact n mere transcript of th* hill of right* of the constitution of the United Slates. KILL IN DASH FOR LIBERTY.

For outing and street wear the Madagascar straw hats, which came in last season, will be much worn this summer. Now they are often draped with silk or an oriental scarf. The prettiest pink hat imaginable has a round crown all of pink rosea The flare brim is of pink tulle ahirred very fuIL At the ride where it turns up is a bow of pink velvet and one of black velvet, side by ride. The very edge of the brim is outlined by a long, continuous stem, with very small green leaves and thorns. A large straw hat of deep-ecru Is shaped something like a Spanish tur­ ban, but is lifted well up from the head, and its principal trimming ia a long black ostrich plume, which en­ circles the hat, covering the edge of the brim. Around the crown is a band of black velvet, with a long, nar­ row buckW*of dull gold in front." There is no way to be imagined in which straw ia not to be used this year. A charming hat of a deep straw-colored material has for its chief trimming straw flies, which are set upon chiffon, big soft folds, which encircle the hat. The chiffon is sup­ ported underneath by a more wiry gauze, which holds it and the flies in position. The members of the millinery entomological' collection are each about an inch long, of-the straw color, and very attractive. WELSH’S WELSH’S ‘•FAVORITE PRESCRIPTION - . At the house-furnishing counters are found small utensils io take out the eyes of pineapples—a useful ad­ dition to the list of kitchen’ tools. Carafes and water bottles may be kept bright by the use of a handful of. fine ashes mixed with the soapy water in which they are washed. The newest method of finishing the corners of sofa pillows is with a Urge oval button. The button' is made of wood covered with the same material as the pillow and the edges Of the pillow are finished without ruffie or cord. . To clean benares work or any chased brass- goods, the following formula is recommended: Wash in hot soap and water and dry thor­ oughly. Cut a lemon in half and with It rub the brass. When it looks clean, rinse in warm water, dry and then -polish well with chamois. Chased work should never be cleaned with any kind of powder. “Veneering Mawdust," which can be obtained of any furrier, wet in gaso­ line or benzine and rubbed thorough­ ly into the furs will clean them per­ fectly. Clean sand just hot enough to be borne in the hand is also em­ ployed in the same way. The furs Should be beaten well after cleaning, and should receive a thorough airing. They should not, however, be kept in the sun fpr any length of time, lest they fade. 8. D., has been elected a cuunty *u- SPRING STYLES IN STRAW HATS.

Pictured below la a handsome bride’s gown of white crepede-ebine. rtit princess and trimmed with cream lace bands. White chiffon gave a tiny tucked yoke, and tbe veil was white tulle. Aecvrdeon pleated, chiffon gowns with Insertions of ivory and ecru laces make t?j> very handsomely. This season’s tarousseau is very elabor­ ate. It includes two or three handsome evening gown* made low neck nnd of sheer materials appliqued with some ofthe handsome lace*. Then come several flowered Inwns, dimities-and silks for afternoon wear. These may be made up very Huffily. and nle trimmed with laces and ribbons. Often they are finished at the waist with’ handsomely colored sashes. One of them is shown in the In­ Rial Illustration. This -was a figured black and white satin foulard. Its trim­ ming* were bands of white mull tucked stitched in white and headed with a band of plaid silk. The bolero waa stitched nnd trimmed with plaid bands. Panels of plaid and striped silks appear fre­ quently, usually at the sides. Sometimes the gown has n front panel of contrast­ ingly colored cloth appliqued with bands of cloth stitched in white. Three illustra­ tions of the uses of these trimmings ap­ pear in the'concluding picture. First there is n gown of lussah cloth, the akirt hav­ ing a panel of white alpaca trimmed with bands of the goods. More bands and , black nnd white velvet trimmed the bo-* lets. Next this is a gown of bright red cashmere. The skirt's Spanish flounce was stitched In white nnd outlined with a fold of white linen, nnd folds of the linen stitched in red trimmed the jacket. Last , comes a biscuit cloth with side panels and trimming of figured green and white silk, all thia outlined by stitched folds of the goods. Sashes are again to be worn. The old­ time Roman striped affair with fringed ends will be seen with the all-white mui Hn dresses. All the delicate colors are The war in South Africa between Brit­ on nnd Boer still draws Its weary length along, with widespread ruin and death its accompaniments.. The “parade to Pretoria” has proven a costly venture, and though the Transvaal capital waa long ago entered by the British, the strug­ gle shows little sign of ending. The guerilla tactics employed by tbe burgh­ ers, the' matchless ability of Gen. De Wet and the grim resolve of the inhabit­ ants to fight to tho death for their inde­ pendence have prolonged the struggle be­ yond all preconceived Ideas. And with the prolongation bus come deterioration in the spirit of warfare. The British have applied the reconcentra<|o policy of Weyler, of infamonj Cuban memory; but In milder nnd more humane form. Never­ theless the face of the land has suffered. Buildings have been- burned, crops de­ stroyed, and recently the telegraphic wires carried the announcement of Gen. Kitchener's intention-of firing the grass of the veldt ao«the Boers mfcbt be depriv­ ed of the means of grating their horses and cattle. The Boers’ tactics consist chiefly in swooping down upon Isolated British ,posts, wrecking supply 'trains, whence* the burghers add to their stock of arms, ammunition nnd -clothing, nnd in looting, stores kept by pro-Brltish sympathisers.

Joe Webb, supported by a email company and two St Bernard dogs, camo to West Troy to play “The Dog of Moutargis.” The actor who should have played the part of Macaire failed to appear. Herne learned of the need of the manager for an actor and jolunteered. He Dot only did not break down, but went through the small role so creditably that he was engaged to continue in it. That was bia beginning. , Herne was in San Francisco in the lata. '70's and wanted a play for himself, but could not get one. Du vid Belasco sug; gested that he write it himself. With Belaaco’s aid "Hearts of Oak" was writ­ ten. Herne’s next play waa “Shore Acres.” It was written in 1891 and be­ came remarkably successful. -Other suc­ cessful plays by him were “Sag Harbor” and “Griffith Davenport.” SAYS HE IS ELIJAH. Dowie Proclaim* Hlmwelf a Reincarna­ tion of the Prophet. It is now "Elijah ill." and no longer “Dr." Dowie, the banker and real estate promoter. Sunday in Chicago, surround­ ed by thousands of his followers and cu­ riosity seekers, he . publicly proclaimed himself to be the reincarnation of Elijah. “I am Elijah. rhe prophet, who appeared first as Elijah himself, secund as,John the Baptist, and who now comes in me, tho restorer of all things," he declared to an audinece in the Llg Auditorium. "Elijah wns n prophet nnd John was a preacher, but I combine lu myself the attributes of prophet, priest and ruler over men. Gaxe on me. then; I say It without fear. j&fake the most of it, you wretches in ecclesiastical garb, and you agent* and vipers of the press. I am he that is the living physical nnd spiritual embodiment of Elijah, and my coming on earth a third time has been prophesied by Malachi, by God, by, Hia Son, Jesus, by Peter and, 3,0u0 jA-ar* ago. by Musca. You who believe me in the very truth of thia and accept me for what I say I am, stand up.” Then two-thirds of the audience which had crowded into the auditorium nnd had sat still for almost three hour* waiting for this climax to the vol^y of vitupera^ tion nnd rnntings of the'"healer" stood up. All who stood did not tit down a^ain. Jjoyeyc^ Ji<;ndje-j3 when they goFon to their feefand oveFtheir amaze­ ment walked out injo the air.' Everybody nnd everything that Dowie ia against, from the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church and J>is American dig­ nitaries to the devotees of medical sci­ ence, the Masonic Order, the bankers, the law* and the press, came in for the de­ nunciation, or “spanking." as the “heal­ er” choses to call hi* remarks.

"I am the only man on earth who is preaching the true covenant,” he contin­ ued while tbe contribution boxes were circulating. "Where else do you hear it preached?” “Nowhere," came the an­ swering emhorus of his followers. “Then take me as Elijah," he proclaim­ ed. "Those who scoff nt me scoff at God. Ah! you miserable hound* of the press thought I wonld say I was Christ, but I am not. I am Elijah, tbe restorer of <11 things." / Many persons left the audience, accord­ ing to a Chicago paper, saying that Dowie was insane. Tillman’a pitchfork has a busy summer before it. General Dicker now has charge of that Chinese Indemnity matter. The dry good* box constitutional law­ yers can dow tackle some new problem. Money nnd husbands are two things the Princess Chimay does not seem to know the value of. King Edward is the latest monarch to find that he cannot command the winds and the waves.

Tbe new pest, the destructive pea apfils, ha* In tbe last two years Inflict­ ed enormous losses In various regions where peas are grown for canner­ ies, as Maryland, Delaware, New Jer- Connecticut.

An encouraging feature noted Ih Canada is that wher­ ever the aphis occurred It was attacked by parasitic enemies, tbe moat vignroua of these being the small orange larvae ■tot a species of dlplosbj—mlnutc niaggmw—which suck the juice ouv of the body of the aphla.

Hurd, The one great event of tljc year to Nashville young people 1* the annual commencement, aud the exercises and social events that characterize eommencement week. It mark* an epoch in the lives each year of a number of our young people that no other event competes with in intercet. When a <?lask of bright boys and girls finishes the work of the high school and starts out on the highway of life, it is an event which awakens a lively interest in the whol<$ village, and it is prop­ erly .celebrated in a way to make it memorable. . Following tbe baccalaureate sermon, and the senior reception, mentioned in our issue of last week, came the grad­ uating exercise*, held at the opera house Thursday evening, and the jtlumni .banquet, at the same place,' Friday evening, and both were emi­ nently successful. * ,• The commencement exercises were attended by a largj audierice, in spit® of the warmth’ of the evening. The program opened with the class march played by Miss Mae Benedict of Ver­ montville, to the pleasing strains of which the member* of the class, ac­ companied by Superintendent C. H. Farrell and the highschool instructor*, made their appearance upon the stage and took their seat* in a prettily dec­ orated parlor. The invocation was made by Rev. Theo. G. L«wis of the Baptist church, and was earnest and impressive. Then followed an over­ ture by the orchestra, "The Bridal Rose.4 The first class part, an oration by Harry Shuler, on the subject of ‘‘Edu­ cation: Our National.Saieguard,” was necessarily omitted on account of the illness of Mr. Shuler, who, while he had recovered sufficiently to be able to be present, did not feel up to deliv. ering his oration, which was an ex­ cellent oue. This gave Miss Belva Beebe the opening number, her contri­ bution being "The Force of au Idea.” Her talk was full of good pointe, and was well received by the audience. Edwin Smith had the next number on the program, his subject being "The Element* of Success.” Mr. Smith did the subject ample justice, and if his advice is followed by the class of '01 they will have no reason to regret it. _ . After a pretty waltz. "Oream of the Past,'1 by the orchestra, Fay Green presented his view of ,“The American Laborer.” His oration showed the result* of- a keen observation, and while all his views might not be enthe point and werj? well received. Miss El.ie Smith’s subject wa* "Mary, Queen of Scota," and her es­ say showed u careful and understand­ ing study of the history of thooe peril­ ous time*. Miss Smith has a rather unique school history. The records show that she completed the twelve years’ course of study without being once absent or tardy. As she lives over a mile from the school building, and has almost invariably walked to and from school, the record appears the more remarkable. We think it is the first case of the kind on the records of the local school, and • we believe it to be almost unprecedented in the state. Edwin Hickman elucidated "Our Nation’s Greatest Need,” which be ex­ plained to be patriotism: not only a veneration for Uie flag and areadiness in its defense, but thaUstiil more val­ uable patriotism which developes «p strong a love of country that makes men upright and honest in high places. His sentiment* were wholesome and timely. He was followed by the or­ chestra, in “LaCzarine.” Miss Ola Lentz chose for her subject "Aurora: The Flight of Time.” Her effort was flowery and poetic, and her delivery was in accord with her sub­ ject, while her paper evidenced much thought and careful preparation. ■ Miss Harriet Brown followed with ‘ ‘The Perfect Standard," a subject to which she had given careful, consider­ ation, as shown by the excellent paper nhe presented. Earl Higbee made his debut as a campaign speaker in an oration en­ titled "Principle vs. Party.” We do not know whether Mr. Higbee has as yet allied himself with any party, but .when he does, his services will be in instant demand. His speech was ex­ cellent, and was delivered with a force and vigor which was-refreshing. The orchestra played another waltz, entitled "Alone,” aud then came the class history and prophecy, by Miss Lena Hecox. The class history and prophecy are universally recognized as difficult parte, and they are usually given over to a sameness which grows monotonous, bat Miss Hecox gave evidence of her genius and originality by treating the subject in a new way, making it both interesting and amuslnJ’uster Tieche had the valedictory, ’and it was given into go6d hands, for Mr. Ticche was ripe and ready. He gave the excellent program a fitting conclusion. * Superintendent C. H. Farrell then called upon the class to stand up and receive the diplomas, which they bad so 1richly s -re­ "V 11.01., earned. Mr. . - -Farrell —----- —- ’Dark, brtrf, bul they were raoel marks were brief, excellent and to the point. The bene­ diction was pronounced by Rev. D. J■ Feather of the Evangelical church, in well chosen.words, and the audience was dismissed, while the orchestra rendered a march. Many favorable comments were beard upon the universal excellence of the program. The members of the BANQUET. On Friday evening, June 21, occurfad the annual-Alumni meeting of oar schools.

This is not all. however, nor even the l>est part of the story. One day before her tor­ mentors hud grown tired of stirring her up ns they calk'd it she chanced to wear a string of coral bends.

"Here's Indie’fl coral strand.” Seeing her look- pf perplexfty he added mockingly: "If yer don't know what Hint menus, better jinc a girl** missionary s’etety.” . Stung by the Contempt in hi«_ voice, rtfsolute little Independence made*up her mind she .would know what it meant. Of course she asked her mother, nnd, though Mrs. Day was not over wise on mission­ ary topics, she bad heard Bishop Heber's grand old hymn and explained iu mean­ ing as best she could. The .story took hold of the child w^th a strong fascina­ tion. She never would put on those tends again. but she often took them out oftheir box and looked-af them with some­ thing like affection, repeating softly to herself, “Indie's'coral strand." She al­ ways said Indie's, not India's, as if it were a personal po**es*iun. God sometimes uses small means to ac­ complish great purposes. By such little things the girl's interest in missions was awakened. It grew as she grew to wom­ anhood. and India became the country of her dreams. Her twentieth* birthday found her motherless, with no duty to bind her to this side of the world; it found her also strong in purpose to live her life in that far-off land, working for ita people. If. mingling with this devotion, was a lurking thought that no heathen would ever learn to call her by her Chris­ tian name, who will blame her? Thus it was that little Independence Day grew up to be a self-reliant woman, and on Hila 4th of July she is too far awaf for mischievous boya to twit her about her red hair or her name and too happy in her work to care if they did.— Indianapolis New*.

Pampered and spoiled, she exhibited an iron will at tbe age of 0. a drill that even the stern queen­ mother could not break. But an the jhlldgrew toward cultured womanhood a strong affection sprang up tetween the mother and daughter and in later years the princess took on tbe features of Britain’s Queen in marked degree. To-day’her likeness might be mistaken for an early picture of the lamented Queen Victoria. ,At the age of 11 the princess met the Crown Prince of Germony, on tbe occasion of a visit of the young Frederick to England In 1851. A friendship sprang up, between the royal children which ripened into love as the years went by. In 1858 they were married in the chapel of St. James' Palace.' London. Though the marriage was well re­ ceived In England, the Prussian king dom was shaken to Its foundations. Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor; set bis face against It and In every way possi­ ble he used his Influence against “tlie Englishwoman."-ns he called her. Ills attitude was reflected in the press and she was pictured as a foreign Inter­ loper. intent upon Anglicizing Prussia. At Berlin the English princess was biased nnd'dcrlded on every occasion. Even when nevompanted by the Crown Prince she was not secure from Insult: This treatment by bls people, while he knew that they loved him. was a trial to the young prince, but he never fal­ tered and as. long as he lived the prin­ cess .was sure of his affection. That the prioress ever became queen was dur to her own Indomitable will and- energy. While the old Emperor Wilhelm lay dying tlyj Crown Prince was known to have the disease that finally killed him. Bismarck was alive to the opportunity. Under the Geruian law no heir to the throne can become Emperor if afflicted with an in curable disease. All the court physi­ cians were under the thumb of the chancellor, and if be could get theps to are the prince and . say "cancer" he knew that he would blight the hopes of "the Englishwoman.” But no ope knew this tetter than the Englishwom­ an herself.

Hta policy was much criticised bj tbe friend* vicinity; nnd 1 pointed towards her with an assumed air of indifference. “1 believe that ta my patient yonder," to her. and then follow you to the farm.” ■"Ah!" he. exclaimed, "there .is a lovely view from that-spot.' 1 recollect it well.

Captain Carey's, face became verv thoughtful. A few step* nearer brought ns In view of Tardif, who hud spread hl» nets on the grass, and was examining them nar­ rowly fur rents. Just at this moment he wns down on his knees, not far from Oliyla, gathering some brulu-u meshes to­ gether. but listening to her. with nn ex­ pression of huge contentment upon his handsome Mee. A bitter pang shot tlirough me. Could it l>e true by any pos­ sibility—that lie 1 had beard the last time "'Good day. Tardif," shouted Captain Carey; and both Tardif aud Olivia start­ ed. But both of their faves grew bright­ er at seeing us. Olivia's color had come no man ever looked upon. "I am very glad yon are come once more," site said, putting her hand in mine; “you told me iu your last letter you were going to England.” I glanced from the corner of my eye nt Captain Carey. He looked very grave, but liis eyes could, nur rest upon Olivia without admiring her. as she stood be•fore us. bright-faced, slender, erect, with tbe folds of her coarse dress falling about her tta gracefully as if they were of the richest material. '“Iliis is my friend. Captain Carey. Miss Olivia." I said, "in whose yacht 1 have come to.visit you.” " "1 am very glad to sec any friend of Dr. Martin’s." she answered as she held out her hand to him with a smile; "my floctor and I are great friends, Captain Carey.” . “So I suppose." he said significantly— or at least his -tone and look sec med fraught with significance to me. “Tardif." I said, "Captain Carey came ashore on purpose to visit you and your farm.” I knew he was excessively proud of bls farm, which constated of about four or five acres. He caught at the words with alacrity, and Jed the way towards his house with tremendous stride*. Olivia and I were left alone, but she was mov­ ing after them slowly, when I ran to her. and offered her n»y arm. on the plea that her ankle was stfll too weak to bear her weight unsupported. . “Olivia r I exclaimed, after we had gene a few ysriia. bringing her and my­ self to a sudden bait. Then I was struck dumb. I bad nothing special to say to her. How was It I had colled her so familiarly Olivia? “Well. Dr. Martin?" she said, looking into my face again with eager, inquiring eyes, ax if she was wishful to understand my varying moods. "What a lovely plaeo this isT I ejac­ ulated.

"Do you think she will lik'e me?” ask­ ed Olivia, anxiously. “No; she must love' you," I said, with warmth; “and I. too. can be a more use-' ful friend to you after my marriage than 1 am now*. Perhaps then yon wi'J feel free to place perfect confidence In us." She smiled faintly, without speaking— a smile which said plainly she could keep her own secret closely. It provoked me Io do a thing I had had no intension of doing, und which 1 regretted very much afterward. 1 opened my pocketbook nnd drew out the little slip of paper cun tabling the advertisement. ■ "•Rend that.” I said. But 1 do not think she saw more than the first Hue, for her face went deadly white,.and her eyes turned upon me with a wild, beseeching look—as Tardif de­ scribed it. tbe look of a creature hunted and terrified. I thought she would have fallen, aud I put my arm round her. She fastened both lA-r hand* about mine, ami her lips moved, though 1 could not- catch a word she was saying. • ••Olivia!" I cried. "Olivia! do you sup­ pose 1 could do anything to hurt you? Do not be so frightened! Why. I am your -friend truly. I wish to heaven I had not shown you the.thing. Have more faith in me. and more courage." "But they will find me. nnd force me away from here." she muttered. "No," 1 said; "that advertisement was printed in the Times directly after your flight last Ortol»er. They have not found yon yet*", and the luflger you are bidden the less likely they are to find you. Good heavens! what a foul I wan to show it to to yon I” . . “Never mind." she answered, recover­ ing herself a little, but still dinging to hopor, my affection for Jnlin, the claims she hits upon me, the strongest claims possible; how good nnd worthy she is; what an impossibility it in even to look back now. I Jsnhw it all. and feel how miserably binding it is upon-me. Yet 1 love Olivia; and I shall never love Julia." A long, dreary, colorless, wretched life stretched before me. with Jlilia my in­ separable companion, and Olivia alto­ gether lost to me. Captain Carey and Johanna, wither of whom had tasted the nreet* aud bitters of marriage, looked sorrowfully st me nnd shook their head*. “You must tell Julia,” said Johanna, after a long pause. "Tell Julia!" I echoed. "I would not tell her for world*!" ' . "You must tell her." she ^repented; “it Is^yonr clear duty. I know It will be most painful to' you both, but you have no right id marry her with this secret on yonr mind." "I should lie true to her," I interruptcd somewhat angrily. "What do you call being true, Martin Dobree?’ she asked, more calmly than she had spoken before. "Is it being true to a woman to let her believe you choose nud love her above all other women, when that ta absolutely false? .No; you are too honorable for that. I tell yon it ta your plain duty to let Julia know this, and Nothing could move Jobnnna frjyn that position. and in my heart I recognised its righteousness.

But she did not read Julia's character as well as my mother did. Before she let me leaf* her I had promised to have my confession and sub­ sequent explanation with 'Julia all over the following day; snd tu make this the more inevitable, she told me she should drive into St. Peter-port the next after­ noon about five o'clock, when she should expect to find this troublesome matter settled, either by a renewal of my affec­ tion for my betrothed, or the suspension of the betrothal. In the latter case she premised to carry Julia home with her until tbe first bitterness was over. (To be continued.! z time. You would Dot give me up to them if you knew all.” “Give yotrup to them!"

Tbe cyclist who wants to appear In good form upon the roads this year will do well to bear in mind that this' is to be a year of conservation in cy­ cling apparel, both In color and de­ sign. Loud checks, dazzling stock­ ings, and bright colors are to be es­ chewed. and the tendency is to be to­ wards dark colors and genteel styles. For men a sack coat of-blue black, pants of a very modest check or solid color, dark stockings, with perhaps a suspicion of color in the roll, which, by lhe way, must cover the;cuff of the pants, low cut shoes, either of tan or patent leather, a patent leather belt, madras shirt with attached collar, und dark lie will be the proper thing. The caps'may be a cheek, of tlie. golf style, but not of more than two colors. For women, shirt waists, Eton iackeu and skirts of dark cloth, the latter reaching well down to tbe ankle, blrfck stockings and low cut shoes, tan or patent leather, the latter pre­ ferred , will be the accepted costume. In the matter of head apparel there will be no set style. A woman, as a rule, wears such style of hat as'she thinks becomes her, the only limit being its suitability in some measure to the pastime of cycling.

In the hop districts in Central New York, for. example, young men-and maidens from nearby cities, and boya and girls from . the farm* seek to earn a little extra, money in thia way. In the older States the after picking Qme at. night is devoted to merry making and practical jokes, aud other devices for driving dull cars away and lightening labor by keeping up the spirits, In the West all these things are noted —plus the employment of reservation Indians. As bops are picked by the pound, the earning* *ofKtbe pickers de­ pend upon their dexterity and Industry. From the countryside, from the cities and from the mountains come Individ­ uals. and famlllee. and groups. They dwell in thatched huts, tents and board •hacks. and either cook for them­ selves. or are boarded at a dining shan­ ty, where the menu is plentiful and nourishing, if not modeled after a lay­ out at Delmonlco's or Sherry’s. . Rootins the Hop*. To begin at'the l»eglnning, hop roots are planted six feet apart In accurate rows, making 1.21040, the acre. Every ten years tho old roots an? grubbed out 'and'renewed, though the old ones a nor kilx. will produea fairly well for twelve or fifteen years. . ' . Set about forty feet apart each way are pole* connected on the top with heavy wire. Fastened at right angles across these larger wires are lighter ones arranged six -feet apart in parallel rows. This arrangement covers the field like an Immense screen. . Sometimes in the fall,,but usually In th 3 early spring, the old vines and up­ per roots are cut off, thrown Into a pile and burned, and men go through the field and hill up around the main’roots. Later on. men with step-ladders—In the smaller fields—or with s high derrick wagon in the largo plantations, go over the field and fasten strings at regular Intervals of six feet along all the cross ■wires, leaving tbe othef ends of the stringawlahgling over the little mounds from which the future hop vine Is. to spring. - Afterward tho lower ends are fastened to little iron pegs driven near the hop hills. In some section* pole* are stuck In the ground at Intervals of six feet each wa'y, and the hop » l»es climb up these poles to a height of eight feet or more. When picking time come* these poles are pulled up and laid across a large crate Into which the hops ere stripped. But this Is a primitive and laborious method. Tbe wiring methpd makes the hop* easier to cultivate and handle, and increases the crop about fifty per cent' tp the acre. On the Pacific .coast the vines begin to come up early In May and are then started on tbe strings.

The'commixsiemr says that new mine* are being opened quite rapid•ly and the output is being increased. Last year tbe reports of twenty-six mim-s were recelrtd, while this year thirty-five mine* have reported. Mince tbe year began one'or two of the min*-* have been abandoned and several of them have been idle a portion of the timb. For the four months ending March .31 tbe mines reporting produced-356,253 tons of coal at a cost of $502,000. »n average of $UlVfc per tom T^e average for the thirty iuI-m** reporting la 11.841 tons each. Daring tbo four month* mentioned the average number bf men employed was 1,040 per month. The miners worked' on an Average twentyqne days j»er month. The daily wage* vary greatly, in December the average daily wage wan $2.22, while in March it was $2217. During the four months covered by the report 13/183 - kegs of powder were used by the miners. The commissioner says that, judging from the derelopment of the coal industry in Michigan during the past ten years it I* fair to anticipate that It will grow to pro­ portion* that will place the State in tbe front rank of coal-producing States. * 2^" whlch Is high enough to admit of their pamting without injury to the vines. The picking season begins in the,-first half of September and lasts from three to five weefr. according to tbe slxe of the crop. A good average crop la 1.800 l>ounds to the acre, aud land producing such crop Mils from $300 to $500 an acre. Crops of 3,000 pounds to tbe acre are not unknown on farms which are scientifically and carefully at(--inled. “On large plantations oper-' ated by companies," say* a writer, “the superintendent engages bl* pickers weeks before tbe season, opens. That they may not desert the* field when they are most needed, tbe com­ panies generally have a rule by which promissory checks are Issued to the pickers for forenoon work and negotia­ ble slips for afternoon pickings.

In curing the hops lose-their brittleness aud absorb, moisture until .they are tough enough to withstand serious breakage in baling. At this stage tbe cone's are oily aud exude a resinous substance.

Under the high temperatures of*the week grain has ripened rapidly and har­ vesting of. winter wheat has made rapid progress, being nearly finished in Kansas' and Missouri, and thrashing is well ad­ vanced in the central valleys. In the upper Ohio valley a cousideruble portion of the crop is badly lodged and reports of damage by rust ami tly an* received spectlvcly. Favorable reports continue from the Pac ific cdsat. In Oregon wheat la ripening slowly, bdt under favorable conditions.

In other sections more favorable reports arc generally received. . Haying has progressed under favor­ able conditions, and satisfactory yields are generally reported, except in portions of the central Mississippi and lower Missoqri valleys, where the crop is light.

One might say the consumer has no means of knowing if a certain variety ’of |»otato Is likely to cook up mealy or be soggy, and that is true so fur as tbe appearance of the tuber goes, but here Is the way the consumer treats the matter: He gets a small supply of potatoes from the grocer and finds them soggy and tasteless. The next time be goes to the grocer be tells him In, unmistakable terms that no more potatoes like the last are wanted. Tbe grocer in turn lays down the law to the mnmlsslon man from whom'be buys, who in turn looks up the source of sup­ ply. nnd either writes the grower that no more of. the variety should be sent or says nothing and sells them to whom he can at any price be can.

The official board of the M. E. church has paid Rev. Arthur Trott a high compliment by extending to him an unanimous invitation to return to the charge another year, which will make four years of successive service in this place. As it is somewhat unusual for a Methodist minister to remain longer than two or three yeare in one place, this, action of the- board can only mean that Mr. Trott's services have proven satisfactory.— Grand .Ledge Independent.

At an early age she moved with her parents to Indiana, sealing near Fort married to David W* Smith, and soon after the marriage they moved to Cal­ houn county, near Battle Creek, where they lived for nearly a year. In the early’fall ot 1844 they moved to Castle­ ton township, to the farm where they have since lived, except for a brief time on two’occasions, until her death. In the late fall of 1844 she went to the home of her parents, where her son Clement,was born in the following De­ cember. This johrney was made with a team across the country. In J anuary, 1845, with her baby, whowasthen six weeks old, she returned to her horns in Castleton-, maxing the journey overland. Some time during the year 1848 she returned to her father's home to take care of her mother in aserious illness. She remained at her father's several months, until her mother died,when she returned to her home. She was one of the early pioneera’of the township and htfs left her fappress on the country where she lived. She came to a wilderness, with trails In place of roads, inhabited by Indian* and the wild animals of the forest. She has left it with broad, fertile farms, with splendid roads, with civ­ ilisation all about her. the country doited with' churches and school houses, with railways that take one in an hour distances’that when she came took days to cover. She was one .of the progressive women of that early time, a great reader, a good thinker, aud one who did her part in the affairs of life, with­ out thought of self and without mur­ mur or complaint.' Faithful and lojNd she has ever been to every tru«l placed th her. Her labors here are ended, but her Influence for-good will live in the hearts of those who knew her and lie a lasting blessing to them in life’s duties and eon filets. Mr?. Smith had for many years suf­ fered from deafness, which, while it prevented her from enjoying as much as formerly the society of her friends and loved ones, could" not lessen her interest in affairs, nor make her less cheerful and patient. She sought to find in books as much us possible of the companionship that was denied her in people. Until about two years ago, when she suffered a first stroke of paralysis, she was strong and ac­ tive. Since then she has been "grad u al­ ly failing. Now that she is gone her friends may be glad for her sake that she has fonad rvsi from her burden, but for themselves they will sorrow at their loss of thia. loving and loyal spirit. She passed from this to the better life on Wednesday morning. July 3d, 1901, about two o’clock, from the ef­ fects 08 a stroke of paralysis that fell upon her the preceding Friday.

Tbe President has nlso issued a proc­ lamation designating the Wichita mouptalns in tbe heart of the old Kiowa res­ ervation as a forest'reserve. The lands thns reserved cover an area of 58,000 acres, and are covered with timber and undergrowth. Underlie plan of allotment the Unite*!

The bill of pnrtlcnlars for the injunc­ tion contends that the lands of the In­ dians are being Illegally and unconstitu­ tionally wrested from them against their wishes. Jt shows that the organic act creating the territory of Oklahoma made the laws and tbq constitution of the Un!ted States applicable to the territory.

There is ma other klm'l of convention whatsoever that d r a w-a together each year so vast a conconree of pc*^ KXV. oa clakk. P1?. Nor is there . any great popular -gathering which is attended with more enthuaiaam. ‘ After, the truKneoa »ramons of Saturday •nd the erwwgdtm and other mass meet­ tag* of Bunday, the regular program* of the convention of the Christian Endeavor were began Monday. Several of the largest church*** in the central Part of the city were tuw-d in addition to Odeou Hall, and the three large auditoriums heretofore used far exposition purposes. No event of the year has greater aignificanre in the religious world than the annual convention of this society. ■ Cerrainiy no religious movement ot modern times has so thoroughly ealisted lhe sym­ pathy of thorn who, white having no de­ nominational affiliations, .jecognite tht ethical power and uplifting influence ot Christianity.- There are- many reasons , for this. Chief aumhg .them, nb donb:, Is the undenominational character ot the organisation. Its membership now em­ brace* forty denominations of the evan­ gelical church, reaching Into nil lands where Christianity bus an organised fol­ lowing. Some idea of the phenomenal grow th of the brgauixation may be galnel from the fact that it pow has 61.427 societies with a total membership of near­ ly four million, while in 1891 at the close of. the first decade of Christian Endeavor there were only 16^174 societies with a membership of • miUion. Nothing com­ parable to this growth e*u be found io the history of religious movements. This great aocial-reiigtoua movement wn* started in F’ortlaud, Me., twenty year* ago.. The Rev. Francis E. Clark, then a young Congregationa.1 pastor in that city, •was its originator, as Robert Roikes had been of the new Sunday school movement in Gloucester. England, ju«t one hundred yearn before, and us Mr. George Williams, in London, was of th«. Young Men's Christian Association just fifty year* ago. Each one of these three distinct fprms of religfous’association and organized ef­ fort for children and young people camo Into being not because, of any theory, but to meet what were felt to be tbe necesslties of a condition. In neither case* did the new organization'have any kind of ecclesiastical origin. No form of popular evolution In its inception could have been more spontaneous,* simpler, or less oaten xatimts. It is a remarkable fact that over' against th* multiplication of aectartkn in­ dependences Ind differing denominations ' tn modern time* there have sprung into power three great unsectarian and inter­ , denmolnatioual forms of Christian asso­ ciation. which are making so irreabtibty for n new fellowship of the freest un i broadest character. .The better’clement in the modern phenomenal development of vast com­ mercial and industrial combinations had already been anticipated in these young people’s Christian associations and socie­ ties. One year ago the international Christian Endeavor convention was held ’ in Loudon. Exeter Hail. Albert Hall, .nnd Alexandra.palace were scarcely able io aeconu^glnte the large assemblies. There were officially reported 59.172 different societies, with a total titembcrship of 3,5(MJ,l>l)0. Of these societies 43,­ 202 were in the United State*; In Enland. 7,000; Australia. 4.000; India. 439; Chine. 148; Japan, 73; Africa. GO; Gere many. 168: Madagascar, 93; Turkey, CO. Beside* these nearly four millions of the •o-calted Christian Eadeavorers were In feUowship with the United C. E. Society. Worthy of note is the spontaneity and freedom which characterize this immense organization. Nothing could be more democratic. The great conventions do not enact,a particle of fegfalation; do*not -even adopt renoltulon*. The utterance*, the discussions, the demonstrations go for what they are worth. The orgapix ing principles of the society are cieaity enough defined, and these are left to make their own headway. Tbe United Society, of which Dr. Fran­ cis E- Clark is still the head, neither as­ sumes nor cxerebMM any authority, over th* local societie*. It gathep statistic*, give* information, publishes a newspa­ per, and in these and other way* keeps alive the sense of universal fellowship. It manage* uml piwidr* for tbe great annual convenliona, and thus unripubtedly exerts an 'Intfneucc to prepare the younger men and • women in all the churches for the larger and yet the closer federation which the new times are de­ manding. After this tbe international conventions of tbe society are to be held only once in two year*. _ According •.*> tfcc < isioti of the wsntjb* I she 1W Rocky Mountain* have rxix-rieaecd tw*»ctHMtecnrire week* of fauna* beat, aud while the average daily temperature «t- t» get relief i» by xnkiwg nW’ thim hu­ man aid.

The only action taken by the Supreme Tent' which might affect the Great Camp was in amending the articles of association so that it could do bus­ iness in Michigan, in competition with the Great Camp.

There has been much complaint-the . «ta*t season among poultrymen of the imall portion of chicks hatched from each setting of eggs, whether placed in the Incubator or with the ok! hen. Nat• orally there are various reasons given for this loss, but,mainly under the gen­ eral heading of Infertility of the eggs. Every one who has bandied poultry knows there are various causes for in­ fertility. .There uniy lx* a weakness in the structure of the hen or of the cock. Also the feed has a great deal to do with the fertility of the egg. A hen that is overfed or kept very fat Is not is likely to lay fertile eggs as one tliat • thinner. The food given to the laying ben has also something to do with the infertility of eggs, for hens kept largely on a diet of core will produce eggs that ire much more likely to be Infertile than those from hens fed on a variety of foods. Meat foods and green foods are absolutely essentia^ for laying fowls; if we would have from them eggs strong in fertility. The liead of the flock should also receive careful attention, as he must be well fed and - not permitted to'run with too many via, ' lhe J-wili Barrel. ’ The swill barrel, Into which was turned all the skitumilk, buttermilk and the water tiwd in wasbiug utensils, the dishwater and the waste from the fam­ ily table, both raw and cooked, and In which these were allowed stand nnd ferment, though probably originally established from motives of economy, that all these waste materials might be utilized In pork production, has been much more a aource of loss than of saving to tlie farmers.

There are few farms where a suf­ ficient quantity of fruit or vegetables Is grown to warrant the erection and operation of a cold storage plant; on the other hand, the suggestion that such a plant could be built nnd op­ erated profitably In any section where the fruit crop of a dozen growers was very large is worth Consideration. Such a plant eonld readily be operated on the co-operative plan nr compara­ tively small expense to each ahnreJiolder. With apples, for Instance, It Is only possible to- get the highest prices for winter fruit by holding the crop in cold storage until late winter. As this is now done the grower obtains out a little more, than he would in the fall sale of his crop when . the storage charges and shrinkage are taken out When we look at the rej>orts .of the live stock sent out frotp this country, to England each week we can scarcely realize that this trade has grown up within less than a half-century. Yet it began In 1852 or 1853, when a dealer In Toronto, Canada, tried to make a ship­ ment, on, the return trip of the Great Eastern, and as She refused to carry them they were sent by a Dutch tramp steamer.

My love for Olivia acquired force and decision.

"Well, 1 am," I admitted; "but what am I to do?" "First of all. how much money have you?" he naked. “I’d rather hot say," I answered. ’ "Come, old friend," hr said, in his most persuasive tones, "have you ’fifty pounds in hand?" • "That’s bad!" he said; "but it might be worse. I've lots of tin. and vre al­ ways went shared” ' "I must look out for something to do to-morrow," 1 remarked. "Ah, yes!” he answered dryly, "you might go as assistant to a parish doctor, or get a berth on board an emigrant ship. There are lots of chances for a young fellow. I tell you what," he said. “I’ve a good mind to marry Julia myself. I've always liked her. and we want a woman in the house. That would put things strnightef, wouldn’t it?" . "She would never consent to leave Guernsey," I answered, laughing. "That was om* reason why she was so glad to marryTne." ,' "Well, then." he said, "would you mind me having Olivia?"

Two horses were in the barn; one of them was killed by the lightning, and the other was rescued, but was so badly burned that he wm. killed to end hi* sufferings. A large barn porthwest of Wood­ land was destroyed, but we bhve been unable to learn to whom it belonged. The large barn on Marion Shores’ farm, four miles north of the village, was struck and one of the cupolas smashed, but fire did not result and the loss is trivial. The house of Jonas Hawblitz, in Maple Grove, was struck by lightning, but was not set on fire. The lightning shattered a window at which Mr*. Hawblitz had stood'but a fe* min­ utes before, breaking out all the glass and splintering the casing, but not a troas-bar in the sash showed a parti­ cle of damage. . East of Vermontville the wind was very severe, destroying a great deal of corn, and iu places matting the oata down so that it will be almost impossible to harvest them. In many places the heavy rain* which accompanied the storm did a great deal of damage to roads and culverts, but it was small as compared to the results of the storm on the night of July 4th.

Startling Report Which Comes from Tradition has It that once upon a time, for a single day, since citUizatlon obtained a footing on this conti­ nent. the bed ot the Niagara River was dry and the cliffs down which’the mighty waters have since plunged without cessation stood forth naked and black and frowning and grim. The phenomenon was explained on natural grounds. The same things may hap­ pen again under similar circumstances, though such an occurrence would at­ tract more wondering visitors probably than does the great cataract now as It roam and surges and flashes in the sunlight from century to century. It moat suggest to most people a surprise of hardly less degree to be informed that Lake Erie Is in danger of becom­ ing »o shallow as to offer obstacles to navigation. We can conceive of the Niagara being dammed at its source, but few have ever dreamed that the vast expanse of water which furnishes it its current would ever perceptibly shrink. That is the startling report, Itowever, that the chief engineer of the Marine Department of Canada has made. He has returned to Ottawa from a tour of inspection of the upper lakes, and states that Lake Erie is lower Jhnn was ever known to l>e the cose before. This condition is due. ho thinks, to a series of dry seasons, to the drain made by the power of development works at Niagara Falls and to the fact that dredging tbe Tonawanda canal has made it easier for water to escape from the lake. He considers it imperative that the United States government adopt remedial measures at an early date^else navigation upon ita present basis will be serloMly interfered with. He offers no suggestions ns to what remedies should be applied. The sea­ sons, are not likely to remain always dry. though when a body of water like this great inland sea is appreciably af­ fected it is about the most startling commentary yet noted upon the policy of stripping the country of its rain­ gatherers In tbe forests of the North­ west Lake Erie at best Is one of the shallowest of the great chain. There are three divisions In its floot increas­ ing its depth toward its outlet The upper portion has a level floor with au average depth of about 30 feet The middle portion, taking in the principal part of tbe lake, has a mean depth of from 60 to 70 feet Tbe lower portion varies from 60 to 240 feet. These measurements were taken a number of years ago and are not applicable to the reduced depth that has been reported.

Eampson-Schley Santiago harbor rontrodecidou has been reached by this body the matter will not end there. A civil action will be brought by tbe admiral asking that the historian psy his dam­ ages for libel. The controversy, which bad smoldered after the first blase following the done Jdaclay's book at tbe naval .academy at that ISHUD SCOTT SCHT.KT. be knew Maclay was going to treat Schley as he did in his book, before the publication was issued, and that the statements were substantially true, as ^hey appeared to have been taken from the official reports of the battle. The action which Schley has at last taken has been Expected by bis friends for some' time. From the treatment Rear Admiral Schley received at the hands of the his­ torian, the friends say. It. is obvious that the author tried to defame the officer. • A telegram was sent to Admiral Schley by his friends, stating that it was a duty "he owed himself to disprove the histo­ rian’s charge. It was tbe Schley news­ papers thst began the agitation over Mn clay’s reference to Schley ns a coward and to what Maclay termed ?his caitiff flight" from the enemy. Schley’s failure to take’prompt action against Maclay or the Appletons, who published the' work, has caused murmuring* even among his defenders. Navel officers who have here­ tofore refused to be drawn* into any dis­ cussion as to tbe merits of the Schley controversy have been showing some feel- • ing over the silence of Schley under the latest attack on bls integrity nnd profes­ sional standing, while those officers who 'have not been so retlretu have not failed to express themselves freely on tbe sub­ ject. ' For three years past charges and roun ter-chargea, criminations and recrimina­ tions, have been hurled back and forth, and while the American people have sym­ pathized with Admiral Schley and have believed that a great wrong was stfempted against him, they would gladly see the question set at rest. The battle of Santiago is of course the main sub­ ject of controversy, and while technically Admiral Sampson was in command av the court of claims has decided in respect to his prise money interest, be was not In actual command while the battle was raging. Admiral Schley was in cajnmand, nnd wa« responsible for tj;e move­ ments of the-fleet. To be sure, the situation was so simple that he only repeated tbe standard order long before given by Sampson in case the emergency should arise, “Clear for action, close with the enemy," butxhe was present, and the Brooklyn, of whft-h he was in personal command, took a prominent part in the engagement. Ad­ miral Sampson’s ship, the New York, came upon the scene after the fight was substantially over atfd Cervera’s fleet had been sunk. UNION OF FARM HANDS Laborers Union.

He was not very hungry and ordered a plate of beans, which ne received. He inquired tbe price and was informed that It was sevedlyfive cents. ‘•That’s a thundering price for beans," Tom said. "Tfrat is-the price,” tbe proprietor said. Tbe train was Just starting; Tom paid the bill and the coaches bore him and bis indignation on towards Detroit. This was on Saturday. On Monday Gilmore, the eating house man. received a telegram, collect on .delivery 11.26 which he paid. On opening It he read, ”A .tbun- . dering price for beans.” ‘ Thirty days from that date a neat cxpress package was handed in to Gilmore. C. O. I). He paid ninety .cento for the privilege of opening it to discover a lot of saw dust, on lop of which lay a. slip of paper with the cabalistic symbol, “A thundering price for beans!” • Two months after this Gilmore was summoned to Chicago 4 to meet a former busineas partner, and tbe hotel clerk hand­ ed him a letter, conveying tbe pleasing in­ formation. “A thundering price for beans!" During Gilmore's absence his son paid for two telegrams and one express pack­ age, all bearing on the subject that seventyfive cents was a thundering price for beans. Cost of all three articles, $3.80. A genuine telegram from Gilmore’s min­ ing broker, advising him to sell, was re­ fused and the loss' of it entailed an actual damage of A year rolled away. Gilmore ordered a case of Macinaw trout from Detroit. They came C. O. D. f 18.50. When opened, he found that every fish bad been removtd from the ice and saw dust and a shingle met his eyes, marked with a blue lead pencil."A thundering price for beaqe!" • Trouble arose between Gilmore and the Detroit fish bouse, and they went to law, Gilmore winnlug the suit. 425 damage and all. at a cost of for attorney’s, services. Gilmore grew dejected and life looked gloomy. Letters poured in on every mem? be*- of bls family at regular intervals from all parts of the world, bearing tlx un­ pleasant information that It was “a thun­ dering price for beans.” At last Gilmore sold tlx;Marshall eating house and moved to Chicago.

Tbe terribly afflicted family followed him to his last resting pl^ce. and tbe . widow, with what little money she had savedfrom bogus telegrams and express packages, erected a monument to tbe memory of the tortured Gilmore. Tbe following Sabbath tbe mourning family went out to the cemetery to place some violets on Gilipore’s grave.

The President Thursday, issued hl* proclamation entsblishng free trade be tween Porto Rico nnd the United State* and declaring the organisation of a civil government tor the island. The procla­ mation ia purely formal and only in tbe body of the resolutions adopted by the Porto Rican legislature (heretofore pub­ lished) does iRappear-that the island 1* set free commercially in commemoration of the anniversary of the planting of the American flag on the island. The proc­ lamation is headed: “Cessation, of Tariff—Porto Rico.” • It recites that the act of April 12, 1900 (otherwise known as the Forakei act), provided that whenever the Porto Rican legislature has enacted and put into operation n system of local taxation to meet the needs ot the government nnd by resolution so notified the President, the latter shall issue a proclnmation aiid all duties on goods passing between the United States nnd Porto Rico shall cease. As the Legislature .has complied with that requirement of the act in terms set out in the resolutions which are quoted in full in the body of tbe proclamation, that document says: “Therefore, I. William McKinley, Pres­ ident of the Unified States.' la-pursuance of the provisions of the law above quoted and upon the foregoing due notification, du hereby -issue this, my proclamation, and do declare and make .known that n civil government for Porto Rico has been organized in accordance with the provis­ ions of the said act of Congress: . < “And I do further declare' and make known that the legislative assembly of Porto Rico has enacted nnd put into op­ eration n system of local taxation to meet the necessities of the government of Porto Rico.

With the tiring' of a iutlnte of twentyone guns by the revenue cutter Fesscuden- at sunrise, Detroit began n three ■days” celebration of the landing of Cadil­ lac at that point 200 years ago- All the public buildings nnd many buafat-M bousca and residences were handaoujely decorated with bunting and the flags of the United States and France. Wednes­ day was largely given* over to literary exercises. .At 10 o’clock the stone chair bf justice which marks the site ot the first courthouse in the city was dedicated under the auspices of tbe historical com­ mittee. The first of the spectacular featnres of the celebration occurs when Cad-' iliac and his voyngeur* paddled down the riVer from Belle Isle, were met by a party of Indians, planted a cross and claimed the'rountry for France. Mrs. John D.- French, arrested at Lansing for pdi*oning her husband, an Onondaga fanner, Is probably demented. On her person were found several letters addressed to Farmer Gi<|den*. whom she first accused of -poisoning French, in which die suggest* that he shoot her husband and say* that she hail put poison in his atrawlM-rries nnd ha<l been trying for weeks to “get the drop on him.” The letters also expressed the hope (bar French would die this time. In spite of these evidences Mrs. French now insists that her confession i* untrue and that she is innocent. ^iAinnnnt> WIS CO It JZ 7DW < .■day was announced at 6 o’clock hundreds who had neither eaten nor drank during the.day sank to the ground where they stood from sheer fatigue or dragged themselves to better places for rest or to refreshment booths uptown. It was found that many hundred appli­ cants had “repeated,” nnd that others had application* so illegible that they were thrown out. Over this much, discord resulted, and the outcome may be an ap­ peal to tbe courts. ' ’ The drawing had been set for 9 o’clock, but the transferring of the bundles of en­ velopes holding applications from the ©etierei receptacle into the wheels, which was by lot, was so slow that it was 10:50 o’clock before the first name was drawn. Twenty-fire names were first drawn from the El Reno district, and then an equal number from the Lawton district. When all was ready Ben Hey tor placed his hand in an aperture in the El Reno wheel, and, withdrawing an envelope. handed It to Cot. Dyer. It was passed to Chief Clerk Macey, stamped, and banded beck to Col. Dyer. The commisaioner walked to the front of the platform, rais­ ed his hand for order, and in. a loud tone ■exclaimed: “Stephen A. Holcomb of Fanl’s -Val­ ley. I. T., draws tbe first number.” - The crowd yelled for thrre minutes, ap­ parently as much delighted a* if every man had drawn a prixe. Envelope No. 2 was quickly drawn, and OoL Dyer again announced: “Leonard Lamb of Angusta, Ok., born da DHnois." In quick auccesaion other envelopes -were drown, and as tfle names were an­ nounced each one was greeted with a 23 years old and five feet three inches in Height, just the height of Woods. In­ stantly the crowd caught the humor ef the situation, and thousands of throats sent up tho shout: “They must get married!” The eighteenth winner in the Lawton district was Minerva 'McClintock, aged 23 years, of Oklahoma City. 8he was tnarried the day before, and by Qiia act forfeited her right to the claim. -— The drawing was resumed Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock, and continued Wed­ nesday and Thursday. In Kansas, which shows n falling off of 27 per cent from-last year’s crop of corn, the winter wheat will amount to 1U0,000,000 bushels, by far the greatest crop in history. And the threshing reports show It to be better than ever before. There will be 25,000.000 bushels In Okla­ homa. Missouri, where the loss to rom has been greateat, will have 22.000.000 of wheat, and Nebraska, which up to three years ago never grew winter wheat at all. shows a return of 40,000,000 bush­ els. In Iowa, Nebraska and South Da­ kota. tbe harvest has been begun. In Minnesota'and North Dakota, where the great bulk of wheat b grown, the crop, b almost readj to harvest, with every prospect of equaling tbe best records. The winter crop in these States, untaui some disaster overtakes it, will certainly amount to 423.000,000 bushels, while the spring wheat crop will be, at a low esti­ mate. 300,000,<100 bysheb, a total of 725,­ 000,000 bushels. Whm it is remembered that the highest prerion.* wheat crop in tbe United States was 67.'.000.000,. tbe record for 1898, the enormous gain in the production of tbe breadstuff within the last twelve ‘ months can be realised. - . As far as it ia possible to estimate val­ ues thus far in advance of market prices, the farming conununilies will certainly be better off this year than last, in spite of the damage done, by ihe drought Co the ’ Corn croV-________ -____________ CHICKS HATCH IN EGG CASE.

The precept that was issuedIs considered by the ,unprrjndh*ed. as • bill of indictment, found by the Nayy Department against Admiral Schley. It is understood pretty gt-uerallr that jeal»day is rampant in the navy. While it ia firmly believed that Admiral Schley will be give} .the hot end ot the bearing, not­ withstanding* the precautions that Sec­ retary. lx<ng- will throw about tbe inquiry, ihery is an undercurrent of opinion that the admiral realizes this, sad in view of hi* speedy retirement from the navy pur­ pose* to open up to public gaze all the ins and outs of the naval management in limes of^peace and war, at home as^wcll ss abroad. If there is any truth in the il^ries of- jealousies and improper striv­ ing ft>r official preferment that have b<-en bruited about for year* pnih in a more or less aggravated form, it is believed they will be presented by Admiral Schley ami bi* counwl at the court of inquiry in such a manner as will gravely accentuate the fact that has heretofore been intangible gossip. Up to date something like M.(MW.0'*0 have been wHhdrawu from New Y$rk end sent West to move crops.

The mon*.*/ has lievn mostly in currency ot small denominations—$20 notes and under. The money sent West thus far 4s about $706,000 mere than was withdrawn at tbe *ame period in 1000. D£*q»ite the increase in the withdrawal, the Treasury officials have ua fear of ill markets, such as occurred lost year, it will be recollected that money was thenas Jo create almost a pauic in Wall street. Nothing of this sort is anticipat­ ed nowJjowarei', the department having an simple supply of money uu hand to meft the demand*. . It estimated that the cost of the Sampsou-Schiey court of inquiry will be about $25,000. This estimate is based on what Navy DepartUient official* have now in sight, but making allowance (or an examination of probably a third more witBrssi** than are nou- contemplated, the expensestwoulJ perhap* ’be $33,000 or $40,000.

In a great chorus of praise, with re­ joicing .over a spiritual awakening, .and looking’forward in pleasant anticipation to the meeting next year, tbe greatest con rent km the Baptist Young People’s union ever'held came to nn end in Chi­ cago Sunday night. The attendance was ths largest recorded, there being 10.000 persona present. Additional interval waa added to the seaafens during tbe . week, aa this waa the tenth anniversary of tbetorganiutloa, which waa formed in Chicago. Too much water even for Baptiats de­ tracted from the closing day’s exercis-.a. The rain daring the afternoon had the effect of reducing the attendance from what It had been on other days. Tbe downpour, which had.been prayed for in many sections of the West, interfered with the personal comfort of those who foand their way to the Coliseum, but did not dampen their enthusiasm. . Water beat -through the windton, and little streams dripped down among the delegates. Umbrellas were raised, and the rrttlc of the torrent against the huge building, tbe flash of lightning, and the roll ot thunder, and tbe warring ele­ ments without were mtc with songs of praise -and peace from whhin. ■ I-xxl by the convention chorus, a service of Aong was held hi tbe afternoon, which included a solo, ’The Ninety and Nine,” by Mrs. IJIlian French' Green, of tbe En­ glewood BAptist Church. Following thia the Rev. Fred P. Haggard, a missionary from Japan, made nn addreas on “The Missionary, Situation.”' He said there was a great growth of Christianity in the Mikado's land, converts being reported at the rate ot 100 a day. an unprecedent­ ed record !n the far East. He said there were G.305 converts list year due to the work of the missionaries. The keynote of the assemblage this year was “Kingship,’’ and that was taken for the subject of the convention sermon delivered by the Rev. E. E. Chiv­ ers, of Brooklyn. He said Christ's was a spiritud*. dominion, and that it was more important to attend to spiritual re­ form than to social improvement. The evening meeting began with a praise aegrice, followed by addresses by the Rev. I.. W. Terry and .the Rev. James B. Cranfill. The Rev. William H.

SANCIAL Hot weather and crop damage reports -overshadowed and ruled the stock mar­ ket during tbe week, causing lower prfeva for most securities, limiting trading, and affecting all commercial lines of business to s greater or lesser degree. While the situation is regarded ns a serious one. it is confidently believed that the reports of crop-damuge in Iowa, Nebraska, Kan­ sas. Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas have been greatly exaggerated. Estimates so far made indicate a decided shrinkage in tbe yield of coni this year, but this is.in a measure made-up to the. farmer by higher prices for his grain. The full extent of the damage to crops is not yet known and the uncertainty is ■till to be removed. Definite information is anxiously awaited throughout the country. The recent soaking reins in the West bare materially arrested deteriora­ tion and enabled tbe farmers to plant fodder crops, thus minimizing in a meas­ ure the damage to corn. It is recognized that (ha- farmers are now financially strong, having prospered of late years The steel strike baa been gradually working to an end. Tbe buying of steel stocks under heavy demand had a good sentimental influence and steadied the market. Tbe position of the coil stocks ia particularly strong, while those of ths granger roads hare been, aa a rule, corre­ spondingly weak. The general trade sit­ uation ia nfet favorable, aud tbe termi­ nation of tbe steel strike and a break in tbe drought in the West will stimulate broader activity in neatly all inea. a'he earnings of a large majority of ths railroads throughout tbe country for the first three’ weeks in July show material increases and gains over the correspond­ ing period a year ago. There is a abort­ age of freight cars for moving the Im­ mense wheat crop, and the granger flues bare about all they can do. The "com­ munity ot intereat’’ agreement of West­ ern roads to stop rate cutting on freights waa jarred during the week by ■ report that one of the principal roads waa cut­ ting under the tariff. For a thne it look­ ed as rf tbe ’•agreement’’ would go to pieces, but Wall street financial and banking interests again came to the res­ cue and rates were restored. Money for commercial uses is easy and lenders experience .difficulty in placing funds even at low rates in "Chicago and New York. There ia little speculative de­ mand for money, but an improvement la looked foY in thia direction as soon aa the extent of the crop damage ia known. BMKfflttiia DRS.KENNEDY& KERGAN lability.

Wheat is today, a# it ha# been for centuries past, the staple food article .of civilized man? No other product of the soil ranks with wheat as human food, and the consuming nations are most careful tojjarner a sufficiency to serve their people for a given period, and to watch moat eagerly the sources of supply. The demand for wheat has never yielded an inch to the onslaught of other food products that have vigor­ ously sought generations to supplant it. This present year we appear to have entered upon a period of decreas­ ing the world’s supply. We hear of partial failures fo Germany, France and Russia, and the outlook for a record-breaking export demand upon the wheat supply of this country. Michigan wheat growers have for two years been unfortunate in seeing their crops attacked by the Hessian fly, but we should not forget that in 1898 we raised the largest and best crop that was ever grown in the state. What we have done we can do again.

A GREAT DRAIN Will Traverse Eaton ' County Next (Ross Sowers,drain commissioner of Eaton county, has succeeded in getting right of way for one of the largest county drains in the state, that of the Thornapple river. This ditch is nine­ teen miles in length and is twelve feet wide on the bottom at the upper end and thirty feet at the lower end, and its average depth is six feet. Its source is at Moyer lake in the eastern part of Eaton Rapids township and passes through that township and Windsor, Benton and Chester, draining 120,‘000 acres of water-shed land . - The assessment roll has the names of 1,998 taxpayers who will contribute to the expense of dredging. The cellmated cost of dredging is 820,000 and the additional.expense of putting in new iron bridges, etc., will bring the total expense up to 135,000^ The only opponents the (Commissioner has bad in securing right of way on the entire length of this drain are C. E. Bennett of Eaton Rapids; Pearl Rogers, Noble Bradley and Henry Moyer Of Chester township, who have, through their attorney, fought the commissioner from the beginning. The jury made a thorough personal inspection of the proposed drain add after deliberating four days rendered a decision favoring the necessity of the drain. It is estimated upon good authority that the damage to the beancrop along the Thorn apple river this season by flood water would pay twenty-five per cent, of the entire expense of the drain. Contractors stele that it will cost •1,000 to get the dredge placed inposition at the bead of this drain ready for operation, as it will require the services of eight men forty-two days' to set up the dredge after it is trans­ ported to its destination. . Operations will be begun early next season. Who is there that does not like music —and especially band music? “A Breezy Time” has a fine brass band and orchestra, playing nothing but the very best selections, and those who want to hear will have a chance, as the band makes a parade dally.

Originator of Fa Dr. R. J. Gutting, who invented the fa­ mous rapid-fire gun bearing his, name, has tprned his attention toward farm ma­ chinery and proposes to revolutionize ex­ isting agricultural methods. Dr. Gatling is the inventor of a motor plow, which he asserts will accomplish from a compara­ tive standpoint on the farm what his gun 3d on the field of battle. The claim is wie by the great inventor that his plow, under the guidance of one man, will break the surface of a thirty-acre field in a single day. SENDS TWO MESSAGES AT ONCE.

For centuries it has been only a camel path,in many places rough and stony, and iu* spite of the vast amount of traffic it was not until 1900 that an effort was made to connect the two cities by a carriage road. Early in that year the route was surveyed and specifications sent to Con­ stantinople. whence orders for the con­ struction of the roads mutt emanate. Work was begun the following autumn, and in March of the present year the first carriage passed over the completed sec­ tion between Jerusalem and Bireh.

Many fruit and vetfotable growers in the Booth and Nbrth make a mistake In watching the market reports and shipping "good* when the Qu«te<l prices ar* high ami. holding them back when they »re low. As a result, when tbe g.xxte reach the market they find that too many others have done 4he same thing, nnd when the goods are reSMved conditions have changed, and tbe mar­ ket b again glutted, and prices are down. This system may do well for the gardener who Is *0 near to the mar­ ket that he cau have price* telephoned out to him at night ahd have his prod­ uce on hand before daylight, or get them at the ojx-nlng of tbe morning market and deliver his produce at eight o’clock. But the man whose products must be two or three days on the road would often do better to ship his goods when prices were low with the chance of a rise before his consignments come to Land. One truck farmer near Nor­ folk, Va.. who Is xald to have retired with nearly a milllop dollars made In the business, used to have one good commission agent in each of the sev­ eral cities, to whom he shipped goods, notifying them by wire of amount and date of shipments, and they were then prepared to receive orders for them ar to sell them for cash on arrival, and If hedividrtl his shipments by any system ft was to-keep each onq well supplied with good produce, nnd accept the average price. The dealers, knowing they find all of his goods In the city, could obtain the highest price of the day for them.—Massachusetts Plougb.man. ’ , The opinion seem* -to be general among farmers that the' only crops which can- be used to Improve the soil are the legumes which gather carbon­ nitrogen from the air and retain It, so that when plowed under the nitrogen is given to tfie soil. Another use these legumes have Is -that they supply humus to the soil which often Is much needed. There Is another class, of which rape Is a member, which when plowed under has the power to absorb the phosphoric acid which Ilea inert when other plants arc grown, and when such crops are plowed under they return this phosphoric acid to the soil for the use of the next plant placed thereon, for once being made active it defta not again become Inert. Cow-horn turnips are of this class, and recent ex­ periments have proved their wonderful .value as soil renovators. The long roots force themselves deep Into the subsoil, fqrclng that soil to give up its plant food. Any crop which will bring Into play any of the plant foods that lie Inert when other cron* are grown •will do a vast deal to add to the fertil­ ity Of tlie soil. All farms will not grow crimson-clover, but with cow peas, vel­ vet bean and Canada field peas at hand ■one may readily obtain a legume that can be grown and thus get nitrogen cheaply, then If rape and other mem­ bers of -the turnip family will wake up the phosphoric Inch! In the soil and make It available, the question of" soil " fertility come* pretty near being solved. When I came odt West, .more than a quarter of a century ago. writes a cor­ respondent of tbe Prairie Farmer, It did not take many years to find out that it waa more profitable to pasture the grass around me than to burn it in tbe fall. Thia pasturing of the grass was done so successfully that none was left to burn or to pasture. Finally I was compelled to break up the land and farm It. I raised large crops ot small grain, but soon s/iw that It was a money-losing game and tried to seed my land back to grasa. I found it very difficult to get tame pastures to stick, nnd if by accident I got * good stand of timothy or clover the Intter would not last last and the former after a good crop or two would get what I called sod bound and would not produce a- load of, hay to the acre. I know now why the timothy did no good after h year or two. It was becaune we pastured It to the roots, thinking It economical to let tbe stodk eat the last spear of grass that-showed up In tbe fall. Land hav­ ing by that time advanced in price, I could not afford to own pastures of that ikind, and so I overstockcA.lt to make both ends meet. I made up my mind to own leas and better stock, and this change in no time made a great Im­ provement In my pastures. I soon saw that a growth of grass covered the pas■turnew In dry weather when nil the range In short ]>aNtures waa horned. „ General - Debility la Chicks. One of the main causes-of general de­ bility among young chicks is over­ crowding them In Abe coops by either haring the coops too small or giving tbe old hen more chicks than she can properly -cover or by permitting her to take them to a nest of some kind to cover. Tbe coops for ehlcka should be roomy and clean, with perhaps some litter on the boards or ground, but the nest.' box tilled- with bay or straw’ has no place iu the coop. Another cause of debility is permitting th* old hen a free: range with bcr chick* when they are very yoang; there are alwaiB a few chick* In a clutch that, white perfect­ ly writ are not very strong gnd are un­ able U> keep up wld. pace Mt bv tbe old ben.

The boy told his father that two men had robbed ulm on tbe platform of a car whiU he and his eousiu Jacob were passing from one car to another, and that after taking 80 cents, all he bad. they threw him off the train. Then, the boy said, when he attempted to clamber on again, they kicked him in the head and he fell beneath the wheels. The story is beipg Investigated by Supt. Stuart of the Balti­ more and Ohio Railroad. A fact which is puxxling the officials is that the cousin of the dead boy, Jacob Schmacker, de­ clares that he aud bis cousin were set upon by'four men in uniform, and that he believes them to have been some of the train crew.

GIVE YOUR FARM A NArtE. GOOD-BY We name a farm animal as a matter of convenience. So should we name the farm. The farm with a name has a handle. The owners of farms change. Some die, more sell out and move away. It is hard to identify farms by the names of their owners or tenants. What was the Jones farm ten years ago may bo the Smith farm today, afid will be the Brown farm ten years hence. Very often-ind<*ed lawyers and others would be assisted in their work, misunderstandings and mistakes would be avoided, vexation would be escaped, if farms could be identified by perman­ ent names—Harner that belonged to them and not to their pwners. If farms were named, it would be easy to give a preciseness to legal documents, ad­ vertisements, directions about routes, etc., that is Impossible in a region of nameless farms.—Country GentlemSi’ I SUmER SALE WASH ON GOODS Light percales, were 10c now Dimitiee, were 12Jc and 10c now Organdies, were. 15c and 12|c, now 1 Striped Mulls, were 15c, now All summer goods at cost aud less than cost to, close them out.

Tbe piece is separated into three acte, and these acts are full of action rather than dialogue. New scenery and cos­ tumes have been made for ‘-‘A Breezy Time” this season, and ' it has been the aim of tbe management to engage the young and rising members of the profession rather than old timers who have worn ■ out their welcome. The first scene is laid’in a young student's apartffiente in Boston. The second act shifts to Vermont. It may not be necessary to say that there is a young girl who is In love with the young student, and that the student recipro­ cates the love.

D-. who was captured Saturday near Devil’s Tower, fifty miles northwest of Dead­ wood. Ward was aiugle ksndcd in bls cunning deals, but his work was effect­ ive in every case. The world may never know what method was used in the mak­ ing away of Kirk Shephard, but there is no doubt that he was killed and the body concealed. Frank Neuedfeldt, the young miner who was killed in September. 1899. had been working several months for Wanl and died from the effects of u*hat Ward said was a carp-in after the blast. The death waa not investigated and the old man’s story was believed. Investiga­ tion of the old tunnel since shows that, uot enough dirt had. fallen to cause death. Ward owed him back money for wages. ' The searching parties that have beet, ransacking Ward’s cabin and premise* hare found wagon • loads of rubbish which has no special value, but has been -accumulated evdently by a half-crasy man. Tbe house is cut up into a num*" ber of rooms, with side-, rear and front entrances, which would permit of easy biding of crime or of stolen property. The,old man always had an aversion to strangers coming Into his house. NMmdy will ever know how many^penknu M'aril has made away with. There are numer­ ous stories afloat about sudden disap­ pearances in that part of the enuDtry, dating several years bark, and ' other crimes may be unearthed.

It might be said in this con­ nection that the pretenders constitute about the only Ipart of the French popu­ lation which keeps increasing at anything like a fair percentage.

Constans to inform the Porte that he had received Orders to leave Constantitiople. M. Constans communicated with tha Porte, fixing Monday os the date for hi* departure, and, as the engagemcota ware still unkept, M. Constans left Constan­ tinople on that day. With thede||arture of M. Constans tha relations between France and Turkey may be regarded as'broken off. Munir Boy,' the Turkish ambaiunidov to France, has been telegraphed not to return to Paris. 'The current affairs of the two embas­ sies can bo carried on by the charges d’affaires, but all negotiations of a po­ litical nature will be entirely suspended untihthc Sultan yields to the French de­ mands. The French government holds ’hat.the Sultan han broken his Word. He had promised fujl payment of tbe long standing indemnities to the Frenchmen, amounting to 12,000,000 franca, but de­ dined to pay the full amount and of­ fered a reduced sum, which was refused by M- Constans, who waited until Mon­ day and then departed. The Sultan made a final attempt to in­ duce him to stay- M.-Cottsinns had left Therapin on board the Vautonr for Stambon), where he was to take the Orient express. A court chamberlain arrived at Stamboul in posthhste from the Sultan, begging M. Constans to return to Therapia and promising that everything would l»c satisfactorily settled. M. Oonsjans de­ clined to rcVirn, declaring the time for promises was paar and that it was for the Sultan to fulfill his undertakings. SMUGGLE IN CHINESE. Probably the .piost important arrests ever made in connection with tbo smug­ gling of Chinese across the Mexican bor­ der into the United States were made the other day In Arizona, when William M. Hoey, collector ’ of customs at No­ gales; B. F. Josaey, an immigrant in­ spector. Frank How, a Chinaman living in Nogales, and another Chhiaman living at Clifton, Mexico, just across tbe bor­ der from Nogales, were taken into cus­ tody by special agents of Ute treasury and secret service operative.. It is stated that with twe o» three ex­ ceptions, the whole Customs and immi­ gration administrations M Nogales sre involved. Some time ago an Others! of the Treasury Department barring No­ gales as his headquarters wrote the de­ partment that he had reason to believe the official force at that prdflt was cor­ rupt, and that Chinese in hinre numbers yvere being stnug^d across tbe border for a consideration. A secret service operative was sent thrr^ st once and plans laid to secure evidence against the persons under aysidcion. v Several Chinamen were furnished with money and sent on to buy their' way through the official eordan. This waa accomplidH'd without diffiefity, fl» price ‘demands* being from $50 to $200. The secret service men also arranged with one or two employes whose homwtr bad been tested to go into thc^colkrtor's office at a -certain time and demand a rfiare nf the money being received from Ofrtaamrn. This was reluctantly agreed to and con­ siderable sums of money were handed over in .the presence and full hearing of a secret service man, who had prerJonsly secreted himself in a near-by dtfiev closet.

Two lions that are used in the play were in cages ou the stage when a sudden rush of wind made the building tremble. Warn­ ing cries caused the performers to leave the stage not a second too s<>on. Bricks came down from the high wails, ruining the stage and bending in the lions' cage. The lions roared in terror. As the per­ formers rushed out a about was raised in the street that the lions were loose and the crowd which' bad sought shelter in tbe corridor fled panic-eiricken. The lions did not escape, but their cages were hit and the beasts were cut by the bricks, but the bars held them. The storm in New York City was con­ fined to a heavy downpour of rain with a violent wiRl. It was tbe heaviest in th" Bronx, where the streets were flooded. At Mauch Chunk.

In addition four passswinj6n-d are from Philadelphia and-Camden. Their hurts consist principally at scalds and burns. The steamer, which, belonged to th* Wilmington Steamboat Company, -left Philadelphia at 1:45 o’clock Wednesday afternoon for its ‘daily trip to Trenton. At a irt>int'oppo«lte the Harrire>n man­ sion near Torrcadale the steam pipe con­ necting with the port boiler burst with a loud report. The forward part of th* up­ per deck was well filled with pas*et»gers, while many others were in tbe cabiu. Before any of the' pasaengera or em­ ployes had an opportunity to seek place* of safety another explosion occurred and this time the port boiler was rent in twain. Scalding steam and water pour­ ed Into the cabin and sections of tbe woodwork of the boat were torn away by the force of the explosion. Tbo*e of the passengers who were not seamed and scarred by the scalding steam and bod­ ing waler were struck by flying fragments of the splintered cabin. Ix?gn and arms were broken -nd faces -and bodies were parboiled. The screams of the injured could be beard on shore, aud the cries of those who leaned or were blown into the rifer were pittful. . So great was the force of the explosion that n piano in the upper drawing room of the boat was hurled many feet away from the boat into the river. This proved a -fortunate circumstance for many of the injured passengers. Thrown into the water, scalded and otherwise injured W that they were rendered helpless, they clung to the piano, which had fallen into shallow water, until rescued. After tbe explosions tie rudder turned the bow of the boat toward shore and she quickly ran aground, faatemog her,self in tbe mud. By this time tbe vessel hud caught fire and those'of tbe passen­ gers who were still aboahi were compell­ ed to leap for their lives. Fortunately tbe water was not more than four fret deep and many of the victims of the disaster were able to wade ashore. Some. -however, who were too seriously injured to help themaelvcs were rescued by memliers of the boat clubs, whose houses line tbe river front nt thin point. The captain and crew of the boat cobducted themselves as heroes. They ren­ dered nil the assistance possible to th* injured, and Captain Worrell was the lust man to leave the boat. All the oeriomdy injured were hastily eonvcyecl to the hospital at Holmeabur*. There tha scenes were distressing.

L^ter it was learned that, ac­ companied by his wife, he had left the city Saturday afternoon, after a visit from Presiding Elder Graham of Grand 'Rapids. Since the pastor went away the air has become filled with rumors regard­ ing Mr. McAllister's conduct. Ac­ cording to the testimony of the per­ sons concerned, he called one day’ last week on a woman of hit congre­ ' gation whose husband was out of town1 apd frightened her by his conduct be­ fore other caller* happened in. The, woman at once wrote to her husband, who returned home, found Mr. McAll­. ister and forced the latter to accom­ pany him home, where, at the point of’ a revolver, it is said,McAllister apol­ ogized to the woman and signed a1 written confession. This was in the1 evening, and the angry husband, whose home is a block from the main street of the village, escorted McAll­ ister to the front gate and, it 1* alleg­ ed, booted him to the main1 street. It is also said that on the following day Mr*. McAllivter visited the wife and attempted to get posseeslqn of the confession,but failed.

That was'ax clear ns day. But what ex­ planation could I give to myself of those letters, of Olivia's above all? Was -It passible that she hftd caused them to be written, nnd sent to her husband? I could not even admit such a question, without a sfearp sense of disappointment In her. • I saw Mrs. -Foster early in the morn­ ing. somewhat aa a yuce-bcarer may meet another on neutral ground. She was grateful to me for my interposition in her behalf fhe night’before; and as I knew Ellen Martineau to.be safely out of the way. 1 was inclined to be tolerant to­ wards her. 1 assured her. upon my hon­ or, that I bad failed in discovering any face of Olivia in Noit'ran. and l.toid her all 1 had learned about the bank­ ruptcy of Munsfaur Perrier, and the scat­ tering of the school. “But why should you undertake such a dhaaer* 1 asked; “if you and Foster are satisfied {hat Olivia fa dead, why should you l»e running after Ellen Martineau? You show me the papers which seem to prove-her death, and,now I find you in this remote part of Normandy, evidently in puivuit of her. What doe* tills mean?" “You are doing tbe same thing your­ self,” she answered. "Yea,” I replied, “because I am not watiafleil.

Fortunately for me. one of Dr. Senior's oldest friend* wax a lawyer of great repute, and he discussed tbe qne'a- at Fulham. •There xeetux to be no proof of any kind against the hnsbaad/' he said, after I bad told him all. “Why!"

"Then Foster could compel her to re­ turn to him!" I asked. tainly could," w*« .the answer, which drove me frantic. . “But there in this second marriage,'* I objected. . • 'There lies the kornel of tbe fate," he said. “You tell me there are papeft. which you believe t6 be forgerie*, pur­ porting to be dto.medical certificate with corroborative proof of her death. Now, if the wife be guilty of framing these, •the husband will bring them xpinst her aa the grounds on which ho felt free to contract hfa second marrfage.

I asked. “All you can do," he answered, “is to extablfab your influence over this fellow and^ro cautiously to work with him.

A formal deed of separation might Iw agreed upon, and drawn up: but even*tb*t will not perfect­ ly secure her in the future.’1 ’ I wax compelled to’ remain satisfied with this opinion. Y'et how could I be xatfafied. whilst Olivia, if-, she wax stiH living, was wandering about homeless, and. as I feared, destitute, in a-foreign country? I- made my first call upon Foster’ the next cvctfing. Mrs, Foster had been to Brook street every day since her re­ turn, to inquire for me, and .to leave un urgent message that I should go to Beil­ town. The lodging house looked almost as wretched the forsaken dwelling down at Noireau, where-Olivia had per­ haps been living; and the stifling, musty air inside it almost made, me gasp fur “So you are come baek!” was Foster’s greeting, as I entered the dingy room. “Yea." I replied. “I need not ask what success you’re had.’’ he said, sneering. " ’Why xo pale and wan. fond lover?* Your trip has not ngreed with yon, that is plain enough. It did not agree with Carny, either, for she came back swearing she would never go on such a wild-goose chase again. Yop know I was quite opposed to her’going?*’ “No," I said incredulously. The dia­ mond ring bad disappeared from hu fin­ ger, nnd it wns easy to guess how the fund* had been raised for the journey. “Altogi-ther opposed," he'repeated. “I believe Olivia fa dead. 1 am quite sure she ho» never been under this roof with me, as Miss Ellen Mariinen’n Iras been. I xhould have known it ax snrely as ever a tiger scented its prey. Do you suppose! I have no sense keen enough to tell me she wm in. the very bouse where I was?" "Nonsense!" I answered. His eyes glistcnetl cruelly, aud made me almost ready to spring upon him. I could hare seized him by the throat aud shaken him to death, in 'rny sudden passion of loathing against him: but I sat quiet, and ejacu­ lated "Nonsense!’’ Such power ha* the spirit of the nineteenth century among civilised classes. “Olivia is desd.’t he said, in a solemn tone. "I am convinced of that from another reason; through all the misery of our marriage, I never knew her guilty of an untruth. Dot the smallest. She wa* as truA ax the gospel. Do you think you or Carry could make m- betieve that •he would trifle with such an awful sub­ ject aa her own death? No. I would take my oath that Olivia would never bare had that letter sent, or written to tne thoae few lines of farewell, but to tec's statement of the case. ■There is not tbe slightest chance of jrour finding hert" 1 remarked. “Isn’t there?" she asked, with an evil gleam in her eyw, which 1 just caugbt before xbe bid her face again in her hand­ kerchief. “At any.rate," I said, “you would have no jK>wer over her if you Touhd her. You could nut take her back with y»m by for»*c. 1 do not know bow the French iatVs would regurtl Foster's authority, but you cun b»ve none whatever, and lie fa quite unfit to take this long journey to claim her. Really I do not see what you can do; and 1 should think your wisest plan would be to go. back nnd take care of him, leaving her alone. I am here to protect her, and I shall stay until I sec you fairly out st the place.’' I kept do very strict watch over her during the day, for I felt *nrr she would find no trace of Olivia in Noireau. At night 1 saw her again. She was worn out. and despondent, and d*a*lared her­ self quite ready to return to Falaixe by the omnibus at.five o’clock in the morn­ ing.

Replying to Criticism, Physicians’Fay No Mistake Was Made. Severe adverse criticism has been ad­ vanced regarding the administration of solid tood to President McKinley'by the doctors before the relapse came. The President’s relapse is admittedly the re­ sult of the failure of his digestive organs to assimilate the solid food which he ate Thursday. Important bodily functions txJcame impaired. When the bulletin was Issued which said that the stomach hnd refuse^ to as­ similate th# solid food the hearts of the country paused. They were preparing for the worst news, which came.

This was the startling message which, was given to the world. • Dr. Roswell Park said: “The President was not given solid food before he could stand it. He was perfectly able to as­ similate the food given him. had it not been that the impoverished blood affected the heart. The heart refused to act prop­ erly without strong blood food, and that was why the toast, soaked in hot beef juice, was given him. Everything known to medical science was done for him. and there was no mistake made.", ' Dr. Hertnan Mynier said: “At the time the solid food was given him he was able to take it. There can be no mistake about that. 1 do not believe that the food in his stomach had much effect on the heart.

I had the.deed drawn up by a lawyer, who warned me that if Foster sued for a restitution- of his rights they would lie enforced. But I hoped that when Olivia was found she would have some evidence in her own furor, which would deter him from carrying the case into Court.

BENEFIT THE FIGS The long-routlmjed effort to produce the Smyrna fig of commerce in Cali­ fornia ha* been crowned with success. The history of the experiment Is iutcrestlng. ' It began over twenty years ago with importation of cuttings from .Asia Minor. Figs have been produced from these and other Imported cuttings, but they were not the famous white tig of commerce. The credit of produ dng tbe latter In California belongs to Geo. C. Boedings of Fresno. Until this sum­ mer every true Smyrna tig tree planted In California which bore fruit failed to mature it; the figs were unfertilized and withered and dropped. It was finally discovered that the-fertiilxaHon bf this tig depended upon the service of the blastophaga wasp, whose habitat is In the caprl, or wild fig. The latter was imported nnd thrived nmazlngly. but the blastophsga did not accompany It. . Special Importations of the wasp fol­ lowed. but It thrived only for a season on the- capri fig and then disappeared, it wax assumed that it could not sur­ vive our'winters. Last year the De­ partment of Agriculture took the mat­ ter In hand. A fresh consignment was imported and Its care Intrusted to Mr. Boeding. Last April the young Insect colony emerged in full force from the first capri cot. entered the second, emerged again, and then took posses­ sion of the Smyrna fig trees, the fruit on which was ready for fertilization. Mn Boeding reports Hint this experi­ ment Im* been perfectly successful. A ton of the fruit bas liecn picked from Ids tree's and the entire crop will yield five or six tons more. Mr. Boeding be­ lieves that, the blaxtophaga has come Io stay and he expects that California will he enriched soon with anothn; In­ dustry. . Rogue* of Wall Street. The rogues of Wall .street flourish. They are thlevlpg brokers, promoters Of mining schemes nnd disreputable speculators.

For |5 a week he will tell you pre­ cisely how to make a fortune. He ad­ vertises In straiige ways, using a ridic­ ulous code. For example: “Hit Kan­ garoo for a Jump of 20 points.* etc. This interpreted means buy a certain stock for an advance of $20 a share. Such men are swindlers. Quite as con­ temptible as the man with a fake gold, silver, zinc, copper or oil mining scheme. He first buys a ruining pros­ pect for say $2,500 and then organizes a $500,000 or $1,000,000 company under the laws of New Jersey or West Vir­ ginia for say $2,500 more. The shares have an alleged par value of $1 each, but tie offers-them-for 37c each from an elaborately furnished office where he poses as the fiscal agent.

Notorious Emn>» Goldman Arrested by Chicago Police.Emma Goldman, whose anarchistic loctures stirred Leon Czolgosz to-sboot Pres­ ident.McKinley, was arrested by the Chi­ cago police In the house nt 803 Sheffield avenue Tuesday afternoon. In telling of her wherealwu.ts during the preceding ten day* she-spoke freely, and said that ■be was in Pittsburg early the prejlon* week. From there she went. to.Cincin­ nati. where she remained .until Thursday evening, wfira she went to St. Louis. Shesaid she reached Chicago Saturday morn­ from the drawers of his table. All were ing, 'and saw the police at the station traund together in one package, which he watching for her. concealcd beneatii his cp»t. The anarchist leader made admissions Czolgoaz says that he made a circuit-’ from which the police hope to gather pus nnd aimless trip about, the city, and much. She admitted knowing the wouldthat at gome point, which he cannot non* describe, he came upon an o|»en sewer. Into this sewer he cast'his papers. Inch by inch the sewers of this city are be­ ing searched, and. if such a thing Is pos­ sible. those papers will be recovered. On authoritative Information it can be said that during the last ten weeks Em­ ma Goldman has visited six anarchist or­ ganizations. She han been in Buffalo three times since July 12, having left, the city the Inst time four days before the attempted assassination. Emma Gold­ man. Czolgosz. and Abraham Izmik and Marie' Isaak were in consultation in Chi­ cago on two occasions. Marie Isaak ac­ companied Emma Goldman to Buffalo the last time the arch leader of the an­ archists was there.. Plotted a Year Ago; A plot to kill the President is said to have been hatched a year ago’ when he was expected to visit Chicago during the Grand Army encampment and view the big parade of veterans. The plot was balked by .the announcement at the last molnent that, owing to the press of busi­ ness nt Washington growing out of the Chinese complications, the President would be unable -to meet his old army comrades In Chicago. . This information is reghfded by the authorities ns of the utmost Importance, •because it tends to show that at least some of llie Chicago anarchists are con­ nected with the attempted assassination of the President at Buffalo, nnd that they have had guilty knowledge of a’plot to take his life longer than a year. NEWS OF THE ANARCHISTS. ''Chicago Poles denounced Czolgosz. War on aparchists has been taken up by the police of the entire nation. Chief of Police O'Neill of Chicago re­ fused to release suspected anarchists on bonds. The secret service bureau has the name nnd description of every anarchist in the United States. Legal authorities assert that both the Illinois and federal laws cover the case of EnAia Goldman fully. . The National Life Underwriters' Asso­ ciation has recommended making profes­ sing anarchy a crime. A Wyoming man .who expressed, sym­ pathy with the assassin was tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail. The chief of police of New York has ordered n census of anarchist* with n view to making the city too hot to hold them. An acquaintance of the assassin aaytr he was vicious in his youth; that his mother thought him crazy and father pre­ dicted hanging. Chicago police decided that Emma Goldman and other Imprisoned anarchists could not be held unless Buffalo authori­ ties furnished evidence of conspiracy. Czolgosg confesses he was the .chosen agent of a band of anarchist conspira­ tors to kill the President, and says he threw papers Inn sewer giving details of the plot. Emma Goldman, arrested in Chicago, has been held on a charge of conspiracy. She belittles the shooting of the Presi­ dent and denies acquaiatance with the Chief Wilkie and secret service officers are weaving a Magnet for anarchists. They seek'evidence of conspiracy, and will run down every one connected with Czolgosa's crime. •Ethelbert Stone of Camden. N. J., has been committed to prison on the charge of being an acceascry to attempt at assonication, for predieting death of Presi­ dent before attack. . be assassin of the President. July 12 she met him for a few moments in Chi• cago. Twice she admitted being in Buf­ falo this summer—once "about the middle of July and the second time about the mid<ll«‘ of August. ■ On the second visit to Buffalo she visited the Pan-American Exposition. ? Miss Goldman denied emphatically that she was in-any way connected with the attack upon the President. She declared that there was nothing in her teachings to result in viuh-nce. 1ft the same breath she called McKinley the most insignifi­ cant President in the history of the coun­ try—a weak tool of capital—th» enemy of the laboring man. She declared that doubtless Czolgosz had “just causes" to drive him to the act he committed. The importance of the capture of thia anarchistic leader is deemed immense by the federal authorities. It is the inten­ tion to charge her directly with being an accessory before the fact in the attempt­ ed. assassination of President McKinley. Saturday afternoon the won&n called at the postofllce in St. Louis and gave orders that her mail should be sent to Chicago, to the general delivery. Tbo po­ lice weye already on her trail at that time. Later she received a telegram. This she destroyed. From nearly every State In the Union and from nearly every public man eomes the demand for the crushing of Anarch­ ism, the arrest pf its exponents, the sup­ pression of its literature, and the inter­ diction of 4ts meetings.

Only one full week before it will begin and no time should be lost. Only a few county fairs survive, the great majority have passed into"inno­ cuous desuetude.” It should be a source of extreme pride to every citi­ zen of Eaton county that his home fair is one of the thrifty, surviving fairs If not indeed,as the m anagers ad vertise it—“Tho Greatest County Fair on Earth.” The race track has been put in excellent condition and it is more than probable that the excellent prizes '•ffered will cause the track record to be-broken again this fall. The year has been a prosperous one for the farmer and the general -how can hard­ ly fall to be above the high average. All should contribute, that the fair may be ah object lesson to visitor as to .what Eaton county can do. Tbe fair managers are maWng a vigorous effurbto have better attractions th am ever before so that tbe opening fair of the new century may eclipse ail other fairs. The following- are among the attractions already secured with chance of increasing, same largely when prices are more favorable just before fair week1*: Ereecircus on elevat­ ed stage before .the. grand stand, two exhibitions daily. Prof. VanOrman and two sons who propel wooden balls to the very top of a fifty foot tower with their feet and do wonderful magic­ al. feats. This attraction was adver­ tised last year, but an accident pre­ vented attendance. There will be no mistake this time and Mr. V. says he «rill make up for last year's failure. A reliable aeronaut has been engaged to make a balloon ascension and para­ chute descent each day, doing thrilling ' trapeze performances whilein mid-air. Then, too, tbe skatingRexoe (Mr. and Mrs. Rexo) are here again this year. If jou saw tbim last year you will want to see them again. This was the one attraction of last year, that was s.o very excellent as to secure an ad­ vanced price this year. Don't njiss see­ ing the Rexoa. Did you ever think that at no other place on earth can you gk so much entertainment for the money as at the Eaton county fair? Let nothing prevent your attendance.

A nation Is 'bowed with grief. Funeral formalities and the outward manifestations vf a nation’s grief were all Chat remained after Saturday. With those over, tbe curtain falls upon the third great tragedy in the annals of American Presidents.- and that tragedy and.the career of William McKinley have passed into history. Already the machinery of the chief executive branch of the government has resumed Its routine. The body of the President lay Satur­ day night In the room wherein he died. It was removed to the parlors of-the Milburn house for flic funeral servicer at 11 o’clock Sunday morning. The-ser­ vices were simple in' form, and were private, only the immediate members of the McKinley family and their clos­ est friends were assembled. Mrs. Mc­ Kinley was not with them. As the daily life of William McKinley ■was marked by the greatest simplicity, so were the last rites and services over his casket at Buffalo.' Solemn and im­ pressive, full of the lessons .that the President had sought to live out In their fullness, there was no pomp or cir­ cumstance to the closing scenes in tbe now famous Millnirn house. With the sacred hymns that had been fils favorite mUslf, with the loving words of those who had known him. with just n few of the nearest and dearest friends gathered nt the side of his bier, the noble victim of a wanton wretch was prepared Cor his last jour­ ney. Then the casket was closed over Its precious burden and borne through the streets of the city to where the mul­ titude might pass In one long, sad pro­ cession for the last view of tbe kindly face. • ' Immediately after the services the remains of the Into President were taken to the Buffalo City Hall, ami there lay In state frein I o’clock In the afternoon until ll o'clock nt night. More than twice as many as could hope to get through the lines In that time came from nil over western New York until fully 200,000 were mnssed during the morning. For nearly ten hours W they streamed through the City ilall corridor where the President lay, pass­ ing in two lines which formed faster than they melted. Ten thousand an hour flowed past until stormy weather and physical collapse wore out other thousands and tbe thinned lines ended . \A/ff I I A IM IMCIZIA1I R\Z After fighting as gallant a battle as was. ever wag-d against death, Preside* render. He was shot down by I-eon Cxolgosz, a'PoilsA lad from Cleveland,. One bullet lodged In the muscles of tbe chert’,' against the bone and did no harm. The second bullet .passed completely through the stpinach, making a hole In the front and back wells -of that organ. It-whs this wound that resulted in death. After rallying and apparently getting his feet firmly planted upon the road to re­ covery, a sudden relapse came at about 7 o’clock Thursday night’. The lost ground was recovered, by midnight, but at- 2 o'clock a second sinking spell came. Again the President's splendid constitution aid­ ed the men of science, and another rally was effected. There was ‘little change then until 2^J0>Friday afternoon, when a most optimistic bulletin was issued Scarcely ah hour later the reaction came. The President's heart had given out. For twelve hours -it hdd been kept go­ ing with stryhenine and digitalis end oth­ er powerful stimulants. Respiration be­ came faster and fainter, and oxygen was resorted to to supplement tbe fast waning vitality. Soon hope faded away. Rush messages were sent to'cablnet ministers and relatives. Senator Hanna and-the •President's sisters, Mra. Duncan and Mrs. Barber, were rushed to Buffalo on a special from Cleveland. Telegrams were sent to Vice-President Roosevelt advis­ ing him thtl. the heavy burden of the chief executive was about to uo placed upon his shoulders. Roosevelt was locat­ ed far up in the Adirondack' mountains. He drove to the nearest railway station and telegraphed that he would start for Buffalo curly Saturday morning. Steadily the President passed into- the dark valley. Artificial respiration was re-, sorted to. The President slept for a time in the afternoon, but early in the evening the sleep became a stupor. Io vain tlic doctors tried to break that dead­ ly lethargy. "Finally all hope was given up. By this time nil the members of the President’s fnndly and such of his cabinet ns were in the ci|y, bad arrived at the house. One by one they went into the chamber of death to bid farewell to the dying man. *.. Suddenly and entirely unexpectedly tbe President roused from hi* unconscious­ ness. and Mrs. McKinley wrts led into the room. All others, sard (he nurse and one doctor, withdrew. This President had been told that death was inevitable. Scarcely less pule than her beloved one, the frail woman bent over his couch and kissed his forehead. This was shortly after 10 o’clock Friday night. "It is God’s will, not ours; Ilia will l»e done. It is all for the-best," he said feebly. Tbe wife was half carried from the room. ••£» the verge of utter collapse. When she sink into.the stupor again, but bt at 11 o'clotk at night. When tbe doors were closed It was estimated that over 90,000 persons had viewed tbe remains. The body of the President was guarded throughout the night by United States toldfers, and nt-7:30 o'clock Monday morning it wns removed from the City Hull, and under escort of soldiery taken to the union station, from whence a fun­ eral train went direct to Washington. That journey • from , Buffalo with the body of President McKinley was a jour­ ney from the groat lakes to tidewater through walls of weeping people. Bells tolled, choirs sang, bands played dirges, banners and bare heads all along the route. The black drapery of mounting was everywhere to be seen. -No home was too hninble for a mute expression of sorrow. Rich and poor alike wore the garb of grief. Great crowds of people gathered along the route. They mnde banks of the fields and nt tbe road cross­ ings. They covered houses and fences and piles of lumber. They perched Upoil locomotives and cars anil roofs and fac­ tories. All bared their heads as tbe train swept by. . Schools were closed for the hour, and in front of them stood the lit­ tle boys and girls. Many of them held Howers and some had tiny flags draped with black. At every school house there Is a flagstaff from which floated the na­ tional colors, at half tnast. Thus William McKinley made Ids Inst journey to the capital of the nation—a journey which was one long benediction from the hearts of the people.

After the hymn the Rev. Dr. Nay­ lor offered n fervent prayer. Then Bishop Edwnrd G. Andrews delivered an elo­ quent eulogy over the remains of his life* long friend and parishioner. Again the comforting words and music of “Nearer, My God. to Thee" arose. Rev. W. H. Chapman pronounced the benediction. Friends in official life took their lust look nt the dead face, and then the waiting thousands were admitted. Rain fcll near­ ly all the afternoon, but the crowds out­ side were undiminished. Slowly past the coffin they filed in a and procession, which continued until nightfall. Then the doors of the eapltol were closed and prepara­ tions were made to convey the body to Canton. Mrs. Kinley. was so overcome that Do not ants: “Tell them to let i try to postpone the end.” The leaden moments dragged by and lengthened into hours. One. two. three hours, midnight was passed and still the faint flame of life flickered on, .Death conquered, and at 2115 o’clock Saturday morning the end come. GANGRENE CAUSES DEATH. The following report of the autopsy upon the remains of President McKinley was issued Saturday: The bullet which struck over the breast­ bone did not pass through the skin, and did little barm. The other bujlet passed through both walls of the stomach near it* lower border.

A tremendous throng was aaaembled to greet it. Historic Pfennsyltbe eye could reach. Not many more people were gathered there those two 4ths of March when William'McKinley rode along, this-same thoroughfare from the White House to the capital tu receivethe civic crown. Monday night' he was crowned with a wreath of lore and grief. In the press of people awaiting the train were officers of the army and navy and high officials of the executive branches. With President Roosevelt nt its head the cortege was quickly formed and the casket containing the body of the late President wgs quickly borne to the executive mansion amid scenes of woe' and sorrow. There it was placed upon a bier -erected In the famous east room, scene of so much of the ceremonial his­ tory of our country, and there it was left for the night under the guard of sailors and soldiers. , The funeral procession fanned Tuesday morning and the body wns conveyed to the Capitol, where it was again tyecivod by the guard of honor and lay in state in the rotunda of the Capitol. The gad pro­ cession accompanying the remains wns nearly ns large ns the one that passed 1 up and down the sunie route last March. ! when William McKinley entered upon bis second term. Th<>nsnuds of the same men took part in this parade rfnd thou­ sand* of the same men and women watch­ ed it from curb and window. The funeral cortege moved from the White House nt 9 o'clock sharp- A trumpet screamed, waiting troops wheel­ ed into line, drummers sounded a mutQM roll and the favorite hymn of the dead President, played by the Marine bond, rose and fell as the stately march be­ gan. The crowd numbered many thou­ sands, but tbe people were as silent as death. Men raised their' hats—women bowed their heads. Slowly the long pro­ cession traversed the sable-draped length of Pennsylvania avenue and entered the capital. , The funeral services at the eapltol were simple and beautiful. They consisted of two hymns, a prayer, an address and a benediction. A sound from the organ brought the assemblage to its feet, and when tbe words of the hymn. “Lead, Kindly Light," rang in mournful strains and was re-echped through the great edi­ fice hes-dfi dropped and tears filled all FUNERAL CORTEGE 4* • kUACHING THE the kidney.

The McKfuh-y prosper­ ity has been baaed upon the blessing of good crop* tend .wide foreign markets and imtnt'iwe and growing exports, in addition to large home consumption. While stock* have been high in price .they were advanckd on good railroad earnings and an hrinrovement in railroad management by the introduction of tbe community ot In terest principle. These stocks, tob. are in • the hand* of the large Wall street financiers now, who are bound to protect them against great, declines, where, in 1881. they were’largely i^eld by the spec­ ulative public. A. shortage existed m the corn crop in 1881, as it does now, but ‘ while the wheat yield was short then It ia the greatest ever known in the coun­ try this year. Too much stress cannot be laid u|>on the difference between mone­ tary conditions. It is clear that a' parallel cannot be « fairly drawn between the two periods. The present era of prosperity is without a precedent in the history of the coun­ try. But such a shock as that through which the country baa passed causes a hesitation whose outcome is not to be feared although it cannot be foretold.

Apples marketed during the winter always bring a much higher price than when offered for sale just after har­ vest. Of course, it Is well understood that It Is impossible to keep apples through the winter for the high prices of early spring unless they- are kept In cold storage, but with an ordinary storehouse, or a good cellar., It -is poaslblle to keep the. fruit several mouths longer by handling It properly. It should be carefully picked from tbe tree, and be fret? from imperfections or bruises. In putting It into the barrels, the barrels should be laid partially ou one side so that the fruit may be turned Into It from a small basket and. roll to the bottom rather than fall. In this way there Is little chance of tbe apples becoming bruised.” Great care should be taken to see that the fruit Is so pack­ ed that there will be little or no space between the»spccimens. and they should be packed Into the Imrrel as firmly ns possible without enough pressure to bruise them. After tbe barrel is filled. It should be carefully hooped, nnd the bead put in so (hat It will hold the top layer firm, but not with much pressure. Apples packed Id tills way can be kept until midwinter easily If stored In n building where they will not freeze, and where the air is reasonably dry.—Indi­ anapolis News. Him pl- F.wlnsinic Tronu-h. I have a feed trough which 1 made myself out of a piece of galvanized Iron, writes a correspondent of Poultry Keeper. It Is three and one-half feet long. To make It, get two pieces of wood and shape them to fit tbe inside of thb trough for the ends ns shown in the diagram. Nail well with lath nails. If you want one- for water, make It shorter, and before putting the end pieces on paint a piece of cloth and place between the end pieces and the trough. Then after you have your end pieces on. get a piece of lath just long enough fit between the ends and nail It lengthwise just above the level of tha trough. This will keep the chickens out of the water. Put two eyes on the top of the ckJ places to bang it by. Drive stakes in tbe ground just far enough apart to let the trough swing. Put pins In the top of tbe stakes to fit the eyes on the end pieces of the trough. The top of tbe trough should be about six tnches .above the ground. You can use your judgment about painting it. If There is considerable complaint every year on the part of consumers that the half-grown chicks marketed h» roasters have a very undesirable flavor. There is no doubt thnt in nearly every case* it is due to n poor quality of food given the growing chicks. Menis of various kinds, usually cornmeal. Is fed largely to growing chicks In some sections. When bought- nt the low price, it is generally^ found that it is tilled with worms. This sort of food given to chicks will taint tbe flesh every time. It Is hard to understand >*hy those who raise fowls for market will persist in buying cheap foods.-’ If the chick Is worth raising at all It Is worth being fed on the best obtainable. If given the best grains in variety, and n good grass range, there is no reason why the flavor of the growing chlek ahould pot be all that Is desired.—Exchange.

In the fall when pota­ toes and other root crops are harvested, there Is always a quantity which Is unsalable, but which might be kept with care, for severs!] months.

Court opened with Commander (tile* ■Harber on the stand. Schley’* counsel crois-exatuiucd Harbor on hi# statement of the day before that-no picket vessel* Were stationed inside of the line of blockade.- at Cienfuegos, when the flying squad run arrived. Port, officials report was produced in which was stated that the vessel* acted as picket*. Harber aah! he would not contradict the report. Harber testified that the Texsa bad coaled at «ea. near Dry Tortuga*, in weather a* rpugh as It was at Uienfuegos and Santiago, but admitted that"reef4 nj Tortuga# break the sea. , . The witness maintained that hl* state­ ment to the effect tfiat the fleet did not go close to the shore, at Santiago, at night, waa correct, notwithstanding Hig­ ginson’s statement to the contrary. Tbe-firtt sensational incident of the in­ quiry occurred when Commander Harber made a vigoroUa objection to the man­ ner in which Attorney' Rayner croM-examined him. Rayner, while asking « question, excitedly shook hi# finger nt the wltne**. Whereupon. Harber said -with considerable spirit. .“Don't you shake your finger *£ me.” Cnpt. G. B. llgzber said the blockade was maintained by the vessels sleauiiug In euliffiin back aud forth in front of the mouth of.tho harbor at a distance of from seven to ten mile* out. He said be had seen.the Brooklyn immediately afteg it bad executed the loop, when it was on the pflrt bow of the Texas, about SOO •fleet distant. The Texas was not then moving nt her full spew'd l>ecnuse the Ore­ gon was passing her. If the Texas nt that time back*^ or stopped he was not aware of the circumstance#. Counsel for Schley practically outlined some of the things they expected to prove to justify the course of their client. One thing that they .so id they wanted to prove was that Sampson, wn# not in the bottle at Santiago, and that the responsibility of lighting it was thrust upon Sthley. According to their representations to the court they intend also to show that if Sampson’s blockade was'good. then so was Schley's, for .the reason that they were of the same character and general arrangement, and, more important than that, they promised to bring out tha'r if Schley was censurable for falling to de­ stroy the Celon Sampson was equally guilty, because for four hours after the arrival of Sampson at.Santiago the Colon lay in tho same position at the month of the harbor that she was in during the throe days that Schley saw her. aud Sampson made no effort to attack her, Admiral Schley’s counsel said that they proposed to show. also, that what Schley did wait done under Sampson's orders, that Schley's withdrawal from the recoDnoissancc, as It was termed by him. against the Colon and to develop the shore batteries, was performed under gen­ eral naval regulations, and was-the same policy that had been pursued by Samp-' sun, and that if the Brooklyn was not in a proper position when Cervera's squad­ ron run out on July 3 she'was ni the station assigned.,to her by Sampson. The part played by the battleship Tex­ as in the naval battle off Santiago was the basis of ;; great part of to-day's pru'ceedlugs. Lieutenant Commander Heilner. who was navigating officer of the Texas throughout the Santiago campaign, testi­ fied that the* Texas was in its greatest danger nt the moment those on board her saw the Brooklyn looming up 'unex­ pectedly at a distance of only 100 or 150 yards on the port side. Consternation i reigned for n moment on board the Tex­ as In the presence of this danger of be­ ing rammed by a vessel of her own fleet. Commander Heilner gave a graphic ac­ count of this critical moment in the his­ tory of the battle. ?nd produced a decided sensation in the court room by declaring that a* soon as the danger from the Brooklyn was recognized by Captain .Philip be gave the order to have the en­ gines of the Texas stopi>e<l and to turn backward. The witness said that about three minutes of time was lots by thia effort to escape collision with the Brook­ lyn. With this loss of time and a fur­ ther loss on account of the difficulty en­ countered in getting up full steam Imme­ diately. he estimated that the Texas was put back about three miles in her chase of the Colon and other Spanish ships. Commander Heilner swore that, while It was trao the stopping and backing of the engine* of the Texas was not record­ ed In the log of that ship, the omission was due to the definite order* of Captain Philip, now death because Captain Philip did not wish to bring any scandal upon a brother officer. Senutor Allison advances the opinion that eongre** wlU forthwith enact a law to prohibit anarchistic gathering*. word. c*n.o to the’nary yard that Judge Jeremiah Wilson, chief of the Schley counsel, died suddenly at the Shorehnm Hotel. Judgo Adrocat* General Lemly had just called Alfred B. Claxton, a ma­ chinist on the Toxas, to the stand when the news was brought In by an orderly. So sudden and unexpected was the sad -intelligence that it was not believed at first. The proceedings were suspended until a telephone message confirmed the rumor, and then 'Admiral Dewey an’ nounced that the court would adjourn until Wednesday out of respect to the decedent. The death ot Judge Wilson was entire­ ly' unexpected. Isldur Rayner, hU as>oclate in the famous naval inquiry, left him at 10 o’clock. Judge Wilson was complaining of a slight-attack ot indi­ gestion, but nothing serious wn* appre­ hended. The physicians who attended him «ay nfrcctivn of-the kidneys rapidly developed. He told Mr. Raynor to go out to the navy yard aud proceed with the ease and that he would cortie as soon as pofsiblv. The court convened at the regular hour and, with the exception of Judge Wil­ son’s absence, everything proceeded in the regular manner. Commander Bates and Captain Schroeder verified the print­ ed copies of '.he evidence that bad been given Monday.and Admiral Dewey had have all striven to that end.” Rear Admiral Schley’s attorneys con tend that the correct copy <4 hia dis­ patch gives nn altogether different ap­ pearance to the incident. Rear Admiral Cotton, who commanded the Harvard daring the war, upon di­ rect examination, said positively he had delivered dispatches to Commodore Schley on May 27 from Secretary Ixmg and Acting'Admiral Sampson, informing Schley that the Spanish fleet was in San­ tiago harbor. By referring to the offi­ cial records and after refreshing the mem­ ory of Bear Admiral Colton, Attorney Rayner .denioUstrated that one of these dispatches, which Cotton claimed to have delivered to Schley on the afternoon ot May 27 was not sent from V-'->hingtou until that day. It was impoduole, there­ fore, to deliver this dispatch to the conimauder-in-chief of the flying squadron nt the time a# first sworn to By Cotton. Upon cross-examination. Cotton admit­ ted that he might be mistaken us to dates, and it was possible that the infprmution was not conveyed to Schley un­ til May 31, four days later. Before the latter day, Schley himself bad learned of the presence of a pprtion of the Spanish fleet in Santiago harbor and had fired upon- the Colon. Again tbc court ruled in favor of Schley when Captain Wise was being question­ ed by Mr. Hanna about- a conversation between Wise and Captain 1'hilip the day the flying squadron started for Key West to coal. Wise said he wan asked by Philip about the location of the Span­ ish fleet. Wise replied. that he was con­ fident it Was in Santiago .harbor. Attor­ ney Rayner objected to the admission of ronve'r&tiuns as evidence, especially a# Schley wa# Dot present when they took place, and could not know what was said. Admiral' ’Dewey promptly sustained the objection. ' . Rear Admiral Schley acted as hi* own counsel, so far as related to consulting with and advising his legal representa­ tive*. While the rear admiral did not address the court, he directed matters. . administered the oath to Arthur B. Clax­ ton. who was a machinist on the Texas during the Spanish-American war. when tin orderly handed a written message to Mr. Rayner. The attorney said a few words .to Admiral Dewey aud tho pro­ ceeding* ceashd. Judge Wilson was considered the lead­ er of the legal array guarding Admiral Schley’s interest# Iwfore the court of in­ quiry. While Mr. Rayner has done most of the talking. Judge Wjloon planned the line of cross-examination and prepared the’ defense to be laid before the court later in the investigation. Hi* death will handicap the Schley forces materially. Captain W. C. Wise, who commanded the scout Yale during'the Spanish war. admitted-under oath that, notwithstand­ ing positive orders from the rfecret’ury of the Navy directing him to inform the "Hying squadron” that the Spanish fleet was in Santiago harbor, he did not do so. Captain Wise merely notified Captain Philip of the Texas, just ns the flying squadron was starting for Key West to coal, aud, so far as was developed, this important fact was not communicated to Commodore Schley. Slowly but surely it is brought out that important paper* have been suppressed and that official charts and reports have been altered. A sensational development of the day was the introduction, a« evidence,-of the suppressed letter written by Sampson to Schley, directing lhe latter to remain of! Civnfuegos. This and another dispatch relating to the belief that the Spanish fleet was‘in Santiago were the only dispitches received by Schley until May 31. when the Hying squadron was off Santi­ ago. / The correct version of Schley’* dta’ patch, in which he Informed the Secretary _____ of the_____ Navy thnteil _____ would be iminktalblo ... tn obey orders with regard tn coaling tbc ' “— flying wjnadrun.” wait introduced a* evi­ dence.

Spencer o. Wood who commanded the torpedo boat Dupont during the Santiago campaign told of delivering dispatches from Sampson to Schley at Cienfuegos May 22 aud informed-the court that after rending them Schley appeared to be la­ boring under excitement. The other new witness wag William €. Gray, nn engi­ neer of the Texas, who rather dismayed the department counsel by saying the onahc had passed the Brooklyn, indicating that lit that time nt least there was no danger of a collision on account of the flagship** loop. Gray was dropped in short order and nut asked for further tes­ timony. ’ The testimony of Captain Wise of the Yale revealed the f*ct that Schley con­ templated entering the harbor and cn gaging the Spanish fleet May 31, three days before the battle. Machinist Claxton of the Texas was recalled anil was on the stand only long enough to state that his testimony ns printed was correct. Then Captain Wise of the Yirie took the stand for cross-ex­ amination by the Schley counsel. Wise had sworn that he had wold from the Nary Department that tho Spanish fleet was at -Santiago May 27 and the attorneys for the applicant were sticeessful in obtaining from him the admission that ho did not communicate that infor­ mation to Commodore Schley. The wit­ ness said he informed Captain Sigsbee and lie considered it certain the latter would notify Schley. The cross-examina­ tion revealed the fact that Wise exchang­ ed n number of signals with Schley** flag­ ship afterward, but did not inform the commodore of the reported presence of the enemy. • * At the suggestion of Admiral Dewey, Judge Advocate Lemly asked tjbe witucas who was the senior officer at that time.

This arrangement gives, the fowls considerable shade, 'without any detriment to the orchard. When poultry yards are arranged in this manner, especially If the orchard Is young, the ground between the rows can l>e cultivated to advantage: lu otli<cr words, it will not do to sacrifice the • culture of the young orchard lu any way to the poultry yard. One great advantage In combining fruit growing with poultry raising Is that most of the Important work In the care of fowls Is done at a time when there is the least work to do with the fruit. A simple device for harvesting corn Is a sled mounted on wheels, the front edges of the wide platform being cov­ ered with irons'sharpened at the edge. The stalks are cut with these sliarp- • ened edges as the horse walks be tween the rows, and the stalks as they fall are caught by men atahding on the platform of the slot!. At Intervals the borse Is stopped, the corn gathered and 1placed In the shock. This tool can be ■cheaply made at home. The following features should always Ibe looked for In selecting an anlmsrl for 'the dairy: The akin should be thin and ^elastic to the touch, covered with fine Umi’r. If the skin bangs tioght to the body, it shows, as a rule, poor quality In the animal, although it sometimes in­ dicates that the animal Is In poor condi­ tion physically. Standing directly back •of the o6w, the bind legs should come to the ground showing considerable space between the bocks. The thighs of the ■dalty cows should be thin and not fleshy. The back should be broad and level, with considerable depth of rib, ;and «< large body, which shows capacity for extensive feeding. The dairy cow Is Invariably longer In body than the beef type, has more space between the gibs, and greater space from hip to It Is generally admitted that the best time for feeding bees, when It Is neces­ sary to give them a full supply for win­ ter. is before cold weather seta In. The hives should be carefully examined now. and if there seems to be a scarcity of food, feeding should be begun at once. It is easy to make some sort of a vessel ready for feeding, but It will cost only a trifle to buy a feetier, which will be much better. The beat winter food for bees Is a sirup made-by stirring granulated sugar In water, using equal parts of each • and stirring until. the sugar Is dissolved.

' Nice Turkish Custom*. It Is said, by a correspondent of the' London Telegraph that the habits of the Turkish ladles In Constantinople ore wonderfully fastidious.

They cannot open or shut a door, as the-handle would be unclean. One of these fastidious ladies was talking-to a small niece the other day. who bad just received.a present of a doll -from Paris. By and by the child laid the doll ou the lady’s lap. She was horrific*!, and ordered the child to take it away. As the little girl would not move It, and no servant was near, and tbe lady would be detiled by touching a doll that had been brought from abroad, tbe only thing she could think of was to jump up and let the doll fall.

The blood is thus kept oxidized, and the pa­ tient Is left in the best possible condi­ tion for reaction and recovery. The Speed of the Blood. It has been calculated that, assuming the human heart to beat slxty-nlne times a minute at ordinary heart pres­ sure, the blood goes at the rate of 2v7 yards in a minute, or seven miles a day; and 61.320 miles n year .

President Roosevelt, 'scconliug to .Washington correspondents, has begun work ou hi* message to'Congress. A* it ‘will be his finrt message and a* the President will have to handle matters of the greatest moment, the message .will be awaited .with intense' interest. A feature Of the,message, "it i« rfuld, will be the an­ nouncement of the work of the Cuban legislation convention and a report of the work looking to the self-government of tho island; also tbe date on which the American troop* will be withdrawn from the Island. In the message the President will call the attention of Congress -to the report of the Isthmian canal commission and make the recommendation,'in accordance with his well-known views, that thi* gov­ ernment begin the construction of the canal at ths earliest opportunity. The context of. tho new treaty between the United States «fnd Great Britain to re­ place the rejected Hay-Pauacefote treaty will be known to the Preaideut before he completes hl* message, and If he be­ lieves it unsatisfactory be will probably transmit It without comment. Otherwise it is declared he will urge it* ratification. A mile a minute by automobile i* not only .a possibility -but a probability of the near future. This was demonstrated ou tho Empire City track at N*ew York by Henri Fournier of France, perhaps the most during of chauffeurs. He drove his sixty ’hone-power Mors racing ma­ chine a distance of six mile* in <1 minutes and 47 seconds, and when he had finiabed aald he wa* confident be could off the 47 second*, best former mark, for six miles minute* 39 4-5 secondaf made by Allx-rt C. Bostwick, with •* Winton ma» chine, ou the name track. Fournier’s fust­ iest mile wa* the third, which was covered In 1:084-5, and the slowest was the last, which occupied 1:088-5 in the making. Up to that time the fastest mile ever rid­ den oh a track by au automobile was 1:13\4. by Fournier in the same machine on the Fort Erie track, nejr Buffalo. At all times during the ride Fournier's vehicle triivelcd at a rate faster than fifty-three miles an hour. The machine that accomplished this splendid perform­ ance was tho same with which he won tbe Paris to Berlin race last spring. On the seat beside the driver sat W. FOURNIER AND HIS AUTOMOBILE. By the time tEe-message is completed, conditions in the Philippines and the establishmexu of civil government there will also be reported to Congress. with the plans of the War Department for the withdrawal of" troop* from the islands. Civil government will be well under wa, and Samar, the troublesome island, where the United States troops were recently massacred, will probably have been sub­ dued. • Some word, it is stated, will be said about the construction of the Transpacific cable. Great Influence, stories haTe it. is being brought to beaf upon the Presi­ dent to have rhe Transpacific cable own­ ed and controlled by the government. President Roosevelt will also report the final settlement, of the difficulties tn China, with mfntion of the prominent part played by the United States la •*curing a fair settlement.« One of the'most important points in the President’s message will bo the in­ crease iff the United States nary. He will probably make a strong recommenda­ tion that a rate of increase bo kept up that will keep the United Sfatre navy equal at least to that of Germany and Russia. Another important point will deal with means for the prevention of anarchy iu this country. A greSt doo| of Interest is manifested in .what the President will have to say about reciprocity. His views, it is ex­ peered. will have great effect on the re­ vival and probable adoption by the Sen­ ate :of the treaties which failed last year.

' The report of the death of Abdur Rah­ man Khan, Ameer of Afghanistan, has bean confirmed and Europe will have.an opportunity to see a test of the theory, that It was the Ameer’s life which stood, in the way of a clash between Russia, had Great Britain. The Ameer's eldest sun. Hahibullah Khan, has been officially proclaimed Ameer and the accession has been accepted by his brothers and the sirdars. Before bis death the old Ameer warned the Afghans against the Rus­ sians. •' . Habib Khan is an unknown quantity outside his own country.

The adjutant general's report on the standing of the G. A. IL allows that death is making its steady Inroads on the mem­ bership of. the organization. The num­ ber lott by death during tS».* year ended Jur.w30, 1001, was 8.100, and the total membership of, the order is now placed at 269.507. This is the smallest mem­ bership given in any annqal feport since the early days of the organization. The death and suspension of members is part­ ly made good by restoration to good, standing and the addition of new mem­ bers. But notwithstanding these, the gap grows steadily wider. ' • ■ In ten years past the membership of the Grand Army'has dropped from 398,­ 007 to 260,507, n loss of 128.5450. The annual loss In each of the seven parts years'is given in the following table: Unutilised Acres of Land Aggregating GOO, >09,000 Acre*. It is not generally known'that there are in rhe United States unutilized areas of land to the extent of 600,000,000 acre*. There are times when one is apt to think that the country is getting a trifle crowd­ ed, and one welcomes the opening of little tracts of a few hundred thousand acres as affording opportune relief to a condition of almost dangerous congestion.

Mr. Larson .says: “I am favored with the custom of farmers within a radius of.thirty miles, to many of whom I have supplied Chamber­ lain's remedies. All testify to their value in a household where a doctor’s advice is almost out of the question. Within one mile of my store tjie population is perhaps sixty.

John.Ball at Balltown, La., was burned at the stake. After being captur­ ed he made an effort to implicate other negroes, but the latter soon preyed their innocence. Morris was taken to the scene of his crime, tied to a pine sapling with chains, and hi* band* and feet wenchained to hi* body. Pine knot* aud straw were piled about the body and sat­ urated with coal oil, and the whole set on fire. The negro made no outcry when the flames first reached him. nnd only when he was partly consumed did the spectator* notice any movement *>f hi* body. He made no resistance when be­ ing bound to the stake. MILES NOW OPPOSES CANTEEN. IJent. Gen.

Caatradlcta Other 'Evidence—I>eclaree Bear Admiral Schley took the stand on the thirtieth day of tbv inquiry'tfnd told the story of the beginning of the Santiago . campaign In a plain, simple, straightfor­ ward manner. He refrained from at­ tempting to question the veracity of any officer who has .testified against him. crediting their misstatements to a failure of recollection. . . Before flatly contradicting Captain Sigsbee regarding the information con-, ceruing the presence of the Spaniards in Santiago Admiral Schley said that Cap­ . tain Sigsbee was not capable of uttering • a falsehood* but thnt hisjreeollection was nt fault and not his veracity. “Captain 8lg*bce,M said the roar admiral, “would npt make a misstatement for his commis­ sion.",■ Rear Admiral Schley took up the speci­ fications of the precept one by one. told of the formtwtiou of the flying squadron, and continued down to the beginning of the retrograde movement, when the court adjourned. ■ . The rear admiral 'disclaimed that he was guilty of digobeijience of orders, as the order which reached him did not nay the Spanish fleet was in Santiago, but directed Schley to find out if it was there, and not to permit it to leave "without a decisive action.” “That part of the order wu# fully exe­ cuted;" remarked Adtnirdl Schley. and there was a peal of laughter on the part of the speotators. Schley then tojd <>f the' conference he had with Rear 'Admiral . Sampson on Ing which he had assured Sampson of his loyalty. Captain Chadwick, on this occasion, remarked that any one who knew Commodore Schley wa* sure of hl* loyalty to the commander-in-chief. During this conference it was developed that both Sampson and Schley .agreed the objective point of Cervera’a fleet was either Havana or Cienfuegos,- ns the lat­ ter port wns connected with Havana by rail. Neither had any idea that the Spariinrd* would go to Santiago, which is in <ho- end of the island, the lints of com­ munication being absolutely contioiled by the insurgents. During another part of bi# narrative -Admiral Schley said if any one made a tnistake during the Santiago campaign, it wa* ih supposing the Spaniard* would do the-right thing at the right time. He was often surprised that Cervera did not leave Santiago when Schley left Cienfnegos. During the conference with Samp•on information was given to Schley that Cienfucgos was heavily fortified, and he was directed not to jeopardise hi# ships by taking them near the shore batteries until the Spanish.fleet was disposed of. Rear Admiral Schley said it wns impos­ sible to make plans of bottles to meet all contingencies, but in conferring with his officer* nt Newport Now* a general plan wa* outlined which contemplated attack­ ing the flagship of the enemy when it should be met.

From 30,000 to 33,000 Men Will Be At the cabinet meeting Tuesday Secre­ tary Root announced the policy agreed upon between the President and h:m*elf in regard -to troops in the Philippines. This policy te to maintain the army in the Philippines at from 30,000 to 35,000. and send new regiments*to take the place of those depleted by expiration of etxlistments. This is in line with Geu.

To take the places of these 20.000 men 10,000 troops will be sent to the Philippines, so that the army may not be cut below 30,000. ■ If the conditions in Samar continue un­ satisfactory the enlistment will be con­ tinued and more troops be sent. But Secretary Root relies on the judgmenf of Gen. Chaffee, who does not anticipate any extension of the insurrection in Sa­ mar nor any trouble elsewhere. He is not ready to recommend a serious reduc­ tion of his force. The town of Dunwich, in Australia, seems to be a real Utopia.

Cotton may be went to that great dump­ ing ground for the surplus' product* oi the world, Liverpool, for 17& cent-, a hundred pounds. A year ago the rata was 60 cents. It would not be poasibls to slop cotton more than a hundred miles in the South for the.sum which Dow it charged for its transportation to Liver pool. The high prices asked for cotton and corn are responsible for the depression in the shipping business. Europeans be­ lieve that we are asking tbo much for'out commodities and they are holding off fo» lower prices. Corn is-now about 20 eentg a bushel higher than a year ago and Ei» ropesns will-not buy of us.

The President's message ia* nearly fin­ ished. a Washington dispatch. The document Is one-of-the shortest .prepared by a President and it probably will be compressed into a still-smaller compass. Mr. Roosevelt'S opinion ia that ■ message briefly but strongly discussing each of the important questions engrossing the attention of the country will be what the nation wants. ' These will be some of the important matters discussed by the President: Reciprocity. Roosevelt will make a general, statement c.f the necessity for reciprocity. Trusts. The President feels strongly on this subject, and it is his. purpose to devote a considerable portion of- his mes­ sage to it. If he follows the view of the Department of Justice he will urge the amendment of the Sherman law so aa to provide machinery for the prosecution of tbe trusts, making it compulsory for them to ahow to government officials OD demand, copies of their contracts and agreements- artd authorize th* employmentof agents to make the investigation. Roosevelt will not indorse this recom­ mends t Ion ao far as now known, and may not even call attention to 1L Ship subsidy bill. The need of aug­ mentation of tbe merchant marine is well known.to the country and Roosevelt will dwell with empbaais upon it. He will not commit himself to the fadorsement of any measure. Navy. By his service in the Navy De­ partment. Roosevelt takes a deep Inter­ est in the navyi He has already dictated a very strong essay ou the need of a strong navy. He will earnestly urge the adoption of a formidable shipbuilding pro­ gram, which shall include battleships. This will be an especially strong feature of the message. . V He is an ardent advocate of a canal, and . will earnestly urge action. He will also refer to the negotiation of a treaty with Great Britain, which removes all ob­ stacles in the way of American construc­ tion of the canal, and will urge its ratifi­ cation. In addition to these matters, Roosevelt Is expected‘to urge the maintenance of the status quo in the Philippines, aud the enactment of more stringent immigra­ tion laws, which will enable the exclusion of nndesirable aliens, and the re-enact­ ment of the Chinese exclusion act Mem­ bers of the ways and means committee, who hare talked with him -do not expect him to recommend any reduction in the war revenue taxes. Nor will he, it is believed, include any financial recommendations in his mes­ sage. A statement ot past events in Cuba will be submitted, but as all arrangements for the turning over of tbe government to the Cubans have been made, recom­ . m'endations. respecting tho island are unnecessary. . ----------------- 1 Good borines* etmdttfcnwNevYoft »”r ’xteUa* wU1 ■’'•‘“S'7 MuoUctorrn •«» :“>k *”■ w.rt with MXMl* errt.latj t. « «»tinaUoo «r »«!»• trade for «t 1,«M that long.

Export trade has fallen off, but bo it ha* in other countries. Foreign exchange'was strong and reach­ ed a point where gold export* could bo made without a Ids*. It is probable that shipments of the metal will be made thi* week to Paris or Germany. The Bank of England is likely to raise its rate on ac­ count of the continental situation, and, if it does, shipments mny be. made to Ixmdon also. Theru is little speculation in this country now, nnd the New York banks can spare gold to Europe, which would improve conditions there and, by reflex action, help matters here. The public has not become interested in tbe stock market and is not likely to do so until the Northern Pacific dispute is final­ ly settled.

Jljmgms a negro named C're* Lott wa* reeflw pie bot;an> of .th* trouble. It wag reported to the officers of Washing­ ton pariah that loOtt, who 'tired near Booth, La.. war, rnnaing a restaurant without a iicvnsc at a camp meeting at • Ldve Oak Church, where a negro revival was in progress. The constable of th* district gatherod a posse and started to investigate. I-ott was apprised of the approach hi advance aud was ready for trouble when it reached Uv«LOak Church. The posse was about 100 yards from th* house when ambushed and the negroes’ opened fire from two*i»r three direction*. The constable bad* his men-pay no atten­ tion to the firing, ns it was from a dis­ tance. He said all he want&l To do wa* to capture’Ls^t. When the restaurant, whirr Lott had Auburn that lb*. execution at Caoigotf should take place during the week, beginning Ort. 28, and Waidcfi 'Mfrad selected Tu**- •emion of ku iurkaiifin waa net. sufficient identified. There, had been twenty-rtx invitations issued nnd all were positively non-transfersble. The only" newspaper imm admitted were tbe representatives of the three press associations and the own­ er* of.the two Auburn newspapers. . They killed Ckolgosa quickly, doeorously aud without a hijeh or neci.lent in the prisou. The assassin went to his death au anarchist and an infidel. His mo­ ment of penitence bad passed, and almost his last word was a dwlaralion that in; Wa* not sorry for what he h.id done. Six weeks after his crime the assassin of the President died. - Now not even his body cumbers the earth. There are no death minks: fio grewaome exhibits. Csolgosx’s body hns been consumed by the chemicals that were poyrrd upon it in the grave. Six barrels of quicklime and a carboy of sulphuric acid transformed the deep pit In ztbo prison plot into , n caldron of liquid fire that seethed and bubbled to the very feet of the convicts who were shoveling back tbe earth injo the 4raaaasln*s grave. • The doctors say’ the autopsy demon­ strated that the wretch who struck down tho nation's chief was no madman, but a creature sound In body and brain, whoso hideous turpitude was not palliat­ ed in any degree by a. clouded mind. ’ That he ‘died stolidly, brutiahly and .with malevolent words on his lips, reliev­ es! only by a regret that he had not seen his father, was a surprise to the'jailers who had watched him through his trial­ and imprisonment. .Their prophecy was that at the last he would beg for mercy and shriek bis fear and have to be carried struggling to his death. Tbe execution was carried through with the precision of clock work. It waa not four minutes nfter the door between tbe chamber of the condemned and tbe death room opened to let Cxolgosz through that the prison physician, with his ear to the murderer's breast, announced that hl* life waa done. The whois matter, the preparation, the execution'and* the disposal of the body wav accomplished as well as such a thlug "could be don*. Them was the-minimum of disturbance all through it, and half an hour after th* assassin was killed the thousands of convicts in the big prison were quietly at work. There was no crowd oalside the penitentiary gate, and the routine of-the institution was going on a* quietly and mechanically as ever. Monday night at 6 o’clock, after the death warrant bad been read, an extra guard was placed in the ceil with Csolgosz. Thnt portion of tbe prison in which four other condemned men are kept had. been partitioned off from Csoigoss’s cell by an iron screen. Tbe extra guards on duty st the prison gates were con tin­ ned until After the execution. Tbe guards were doubled merely as a precautionary measure and not because there was any reason to believe the extra men would be Waldeck Csolgosx, his brother, and Thomas Badowaki, brother-in-law, from Cleveland, eaU*d upon ths prisoner Sun­ day.

They are prodded with sharp instruments on the least .sign of sleep and their suffer­ ings are impossible to describe after three or four days of this torture. But Gaolgosz.’who would have met a fate as terri­ ble a* any of these had he committed n like crime in an oriental country, dr even in many European countries, met death in tbe form declared fo be most humane and practically painless by medical men. A current of electricity was shot through C^OLGOSZ’S DKATn CHAIR. his body, paralyzing tbo heart action in­ stantly and causing death in o' fraction attached the "death mask.” u strap to of a second. In1 the familiar phrase of be fastened around the head at the fore­ the street, "he never knew what struck head. On the inner aide of this strap were two small sponges, which pressed upon the temples s»nd which were con­ nected by wires with the rod in the back of tbe chair. Thta rod carried the elec­ tricity, conducted to it by heavy wires from the wall. There were straps fast­ ened to the back of the chair to pass around the upper arm* ot the condemned man and hold the arms securely against tho chair, other straps ou the arms of tbe chair itself binding the fdreartu*-down and'preventing the least struggle. Anoth­ er stout strap on belt attached to the back of the chair passed across the nbdomen of the prisoner and bound him securely to the seat. His ankles were also strap­ ped to the foot rest at the bottom of the chair. When all .was in readiness a small electrode fitted with moist sponges like those pressing against tbe forehead was placed against the bare calf of the left leg. When the electrodes were fast­ ened into place the body of Czolgoaz formed part of a circuit from the irire* his head to those at bia legs, and any DEATH-MOUSE -CELLS- at current entering the upper wire* must { AH0-, pass from the electrodes at hl* forehead through his body to the electrode attach­ •AUBURN* ed to his leg and thus back to the dyna­ mo.

' At thia Juncture the^posse deemed it necessary to firo the Ixnt restaurant, In order to dislodge hia gang. Lott rushed out when t!u> torch was applied and dis­ charged a double-barreled shqtgun into thq crowd of whites. Twenty-two buck­ shot took offeyt in the side of Joe Seals, one of the posse, from the effects of which he died. A negro who followed Lott shot a man named Elliott, one of the paw, through the stomach. The negroes then tried to escape,- but others of the. posse riddled tbeir bodies with bullets. Lott’s head was shot almost from hia shoulders.. During the fight a negro preacher came out of the church armed with, a musk,et. He wns.killed befdre he could shoot. . After the smoke of battle had cleared away there wore five dead colored men, including the preacher, three women, two burned beyond recognition, who perished in Lott's restaurant, and one child who was with its mother in the restaurant and perished with her.

BIG EXPORT FIGURES. Year <o Total ST'W.OOO.OOO.

For the niue. month* ending Oct. 1 the exports amounted to $213J293,0S4 of breadstuff*. $27,262,437. of live stock, nnd $140,877.9:17 of provisions. Thia makes a total of $381.433,458. for these three products of farm and pasture,-end at the same rate the total export trade to be credited to the farm and representing the surplus above what the United States consumes will be for the year 1901 $300,'­ 000,000 in round numbers. The exBDrta for the first nine months of this yeft exceed* the same period in the record year of 1898 by $10,000,000. As compared with last year there is an In­ crease of $38,702,930 in breadstuff*, $13,­ 441,323 in provisions, and $33,335,232 In live stock, making . v total increase <ver last year of $35,539,511. The extraordinary Increase in the ex­ port of breadstuff* is entirely due to the phenomenal move of wheat from tills country to Europe. The export of wheat, for the first nine months of 1900 amount­ ed to 69,065,307 bushels. For the first three-quarters of tbie current year this export has risen to 138.960.187 bushels, an increase of over.100 per cent. Prices kept up about tbe same. that the ex­ port trade iu wheat nloue for the first nine months of this year as compared with the same i>erio.l'iu l$00 has increas­ ed $52,480,801. There wns a loss in.,cxj»on. trade in corn' of $13,700,038, su that the doubling of the export trade in wheat is responsi­ ble for the enormous increase in the total foreign trade of the United States in food products. .

Of th* two hs nscognized one as Feiipo Rlnl. the peddler occupant of the house. When tho .polic* entered-tho house they found nothing.to indicate that a tragedy had been committed there. Th* first floor ap­ parently had not been occupied for sev­ eral day*. 'Pasaing down tj)o half dozen narrow steps leading to tho basement, th* Starcher* found a different scene. The .walla and floor were ‘bespattered with ' blood. Clothing hanging against the wall was damp, showing that a seeming , effort had been made to remove the blood *tajns. Concealed in the corner of tho basement were two hatchets, while a knife lay jin the table. AH bore blood stains upon them, although efforts had been made to remove the dark marks.

Some on* telephoned an undertak­ er, .anil an ambulance was soon on the scene. The body was placed within the ambulance, and th* horses started to­ wards Sealer's home on the outskirts*of th* town. Half way there tbe supposed corps* sat up'and asked where he was going. Tbe driver gasped that they were taking him home. ’T don’t want to go home," said Busier. "J want to go to work." 8o tbe driver had to turn about and take him back to town.

At Fort Wayne, Ind., Charles Dunn was found guilty of murder in the first degree and sentenced to the penitentiary for life. The Jury was out twenty hours.

Lewi* Morris'on’s magnificent new spec­ tacular version of “Faust," with a superb series of new scenes and a new prologueot great beauty, will appear at the Thomas opera house. Charlotte, ou Monday, No­ vember 18th, supported by tbe strongest dramatic company “Faust" has ever been interpreted by. Unusual efforts and ex­ pense have been lavished on thia season’s production, which is said to'be the richest and most novel treatment ever given ito the theme Goethe immortalized. The light effect and electrical surprises are especiaily calculated to provoke wonder, since tbe foremost electricians of New York have devised many beautiful and di­ verse new effects, which have been patented for Lewis Morrison's exclusive use. The beauty of the garden scene is greatly addid to by tbe exquisite fight effects from lime, calcium and electric lights, colored and shaded to represent a gorgeous sunset behind tbe spires of Nuremberg’s Cathe­ dral, whose shadows are cast over Mar­ guerite. as-tbe paislon of Faust is being stimulated by Mephisto. The white robe Marguerite wears, emblematic of her pur­ ity, is in startling contrast-to the scarlet garb of Satan, ever hovering in tbe back­ ground. subtle, and temptingly spurring Faust to the declarations of hia passion which results in woe and death to Mar­ guerite. Tbe beautiful sunset effects, tbe verdant beauty of tbe garden and peaceful aspect o[ Marguerite’s borne are in strong contrast to Uie tumult of evil emotions de­ picted by Mwphistophele* in pantomimic action, subtle whispered words, and in the mockery ot his triumphant laughter as Marguerite falls from grace and purity. This season’s Brocken scene too is conceded to be tbe most powerful exposition of that strongest of dramatic j’.limaxe*. There is never a question os to tbe splendor of this production or tbe ability of the company, and consequently there is every indication of a crowded house at the Thomas opera house, Charlotte, on November 18th, when Lewis Morrison’s version of Goethe’s “Faust" will be presented. Thomas opera house, Charlotte, November 27. It is one of the most original, unique and popular comedy dramas that has gone out durinir the last .decade Tbe dialogue is crisp, bright, and describes a story of high and low lite in a great city that is not only true to life, but at Hu* same time meet* all tbe requirements of the plav-goer for an attraction, where surprise* follow each other so swiftly as lo st times take the audience off their feel.

And tb?re was another similarity, too, for when he reached tbe cottage on tho roadside at which Borak had stopped, he stopped, too. A woman stood in the open door­ way.

He sat joist opposite a little sketch of nn English house; and what more natural than ‘for him to.-tfpeak of it and’ to ad­ mire Its pretty frame of bog oak? And then, what more natural than for the English woman-who through all her early womanhood had lived among the English gentry, and recognized one of them by instinct—to tell thc story'of that hous? so far as she knew it? And Mr. Poynz sat and listened, looking now into tbe low turf fire, and now «p at the pret­ ty little -sketch, but without a shade of weariness, and never without a pleasant look of interest on his fiaeiit face. “Beautiful! You may well sajr xo. sir. It was the most beautiful house 1 ever saw, and Miss Kate painted it just like. Notice that one wide, low window be­ tween the two towera, will you, sir?

"I should be sorry if she were alone.” “It is a trifling evil—to be alone,’’, re­ turned Mark, coolly. And by this time they had reached the window, and he was greeting Celia; as she held it open for them to enter the room that way. The dinner nt the vicarage on that evening was rather a silent meal. Never a great talker, there was about Mr. Poynx such a keen sense of humor, such quick appreciativeness, and such ready sympathy nnd clearness of thought that hi* presence relieved and brightened the most somber table. Yet on this evening Will was thoroughly aware that hi* si­ lence was the Silence not only of deep, .but even of disturbed thought. And Wil! was yet wondering over this when he and Mark and the vicar followed the ladies to the drawing room. ■ - , “As we have spent a wholc^day with­ out you. Mr. Poynx." observed'Mia* Fos­ ter, “you must do your very best now to make op for it; mustn't he, Mr. Penning­ ton?" she otlded, smiling at the vicar, and thinking how very little tact he displayed to come and seat himself in the vacant chair beside her.’ ' "We. sleepy aboriginals,” answered the vicar, “who do not know what society is doing, and scarcely see the Times till it is a week old, can bo but dull enter­ tainers. I’m sorry Miss Foster hna not had better amusement to-day than we could give her. I trust you understand. Air. Poynx, how glad we should have been to sec you." "Your generous hospitality tempted me to take that for granted," returned Mark, pleasantly; "but, as you see. 1 am but a moody companion.” ' , “Moody!" echied Will, iu utter thought­ lessness. "I'm sure I saw no moodiness iu you to-day, n* we sat on that old pine tree—you and 1 and Nora." If. from a wide repertory of remarks, Will had sought for the one most calcu­ lated to annoy his sister, he could scarce­ ly have succeeded better than in selecting this. "Nora," she repeated, turning to Celia with a smile. “Isn't that the girl you told me of. who runs wild about the country, and scarcely knows good from evilF “I—I .think---- ” began Celia; but Will buret into tho discussion. "Nora ia one of the best girls I know. Genevieve. However she may have been trained^ she is as good a girl at heart a* ever lived." “I did not ask you." smiled Genevieve. "As I hqppea to have heard a good many stories of your pranks here, and of the similar fasten of this Irish girl, you can­ not of course, expect me to.be much im­ pressed by your view of the matter." “She never did a thing that ‘was wrong." Will went on, with boyish vehe­ mence; but Murk interrupted him with a quiet remark to Genevieve. “Hi* evidence is nothing, is it, Miss Foster? They were confederates, and I dure say he felt his own inferiority, too; for aren't we told that women-in mischief "She was a very small woman," said Will, laughing now. “As a child," observed the vicar, “such conduct was excusable in one who never was trained with any care or experience^ but Nora i* growing up now, and I should like to see a little more staidness and cir­ cumspection."

Railey ap­ parently had jjpeti killed before the storm commenced, as the ground under her body was dry. Miss Renner was slain cither during the rain or after k, as marks .of a, struggle were found lb th* clay of the road near where the corpse was found nnd there was mud on the soles of her shoes.

Jaeob Heckathorn was born in New York city January 10, 1827, and died in Nashville, Michigan, Friday, No­ vember 8, 1901, at the age of 74 years. When four "years of age he moved with his parents from New York to Stark county, Ohio, where he grew to manhood. He was married in October. 18*57, to Miss Sarah M. Gaddis, who survives him. In 1861 the young couple came to M ichigan and took up their abode on- the farm where he died, in the northern part of the village. The deceased was an old pioneer of Nashville, having come hepe when the place was a forest. Mr. Heckathorn was a man liked by all who knew him. true and upright in all his dealings,, and without an enemy. Three y*grt> ago in July he suffered a-stroke of paralysis from .which he never recover­ ed, and ha* been a constant but pa­ tient sufferer from that time until the day of his death, when he suffered a second stroke of paralysis.

That is the Union Pacific Company, now dominated by E. U. Har­ riman. It was the effort on the part of this man aud his associates to protect the interests of thia road that resulted lit the disaster of last spring, and which in turn led to the present combination. The corporation just organised, and which is giv«n practically suprupie power over the varioug syatems involved, is call­ ed tiie Northern Securities Company. The deal ia the most imrmrtant in the history of the railway world, for never have in­ terests bo enormous been brought under ope management.

After garnering the yield of their broad ncres the farmers of the great grain-pro­ ducing districts of the West find that the season of 1901 is far less profitable than was last year. The coni crop, upon which much of the prosperity of the farmer depends, is a failure, the govern­ ment reports Indicating n probable yield of but 1339.700.500 bushels, against 2,­ 105,102.510 for 1900. Other crops have been lighter than for several years, the yield of oats in 1900 being 809,125.989 bushels and only 000.757,000 this year; rye. 23,095327 last year nnd 23,571.000 in 1901, aud potatoes 210.826.897 bushel* Inst year and only 132,805,000 bushels this year.

When the next settlement day come in London many speculators there were found short on Northern Pacific, but an agreement to grant more time ao-ved tlie situation there, too. . The specific object of thia $400,000,(MX) company is to acqnjre all of the capital stock of the Northern Pacific and tbe atantial gains,.however. The acres de­ voted to Lhiff cultivation of barley this year yielded 58.925.833 bushels, an in­ crease of 11.716,167 over 1900; buck­ wheat also is better, 12,570.000 bushels being grown this year and hut 0,030,966' in 1900; wheat growers find great satis­ faction in the fact that 044,835,000 bush­ els wore harvested in the soaaon just clos­ ed, while in 1900 522.229,505 was the best that could be done. While all the principal crops do not compare favorably with yields of the past few years, the western farmer has no great cause to complain, ns his barns are well stocked and good prices for Ids mar­ ketable product will obtain.

Tbe head and front of those in opposition comes from Minister Wu, the Chinese representative ia Washington.

To the People of the State of Michigan: Greeting: The fast approaching matur­ ity of the first year of the twentieth cen­ tury brings the recurrence of the day so wisely set apart by the forefathers of the republic as a day of thanksgiving and prayer. By virtue of the authority rested in me, I do hereby designate Thursday, Nor. 28, 1901, as a day of thanksgiving for the nerer-faiiing protection of Al­ mighty God and of prayer that Ho will in tho future, as in the past, continue to direct 4>e destinies of the nation. On the appointed day, "lest we forget,” I recommend that the people of the State assemble in their respective places of worship nnd there, through the form* to which they are accustomed, give praise to the Divine Father for His mercies. Mich­ igan has abundant reason to bo thank­ ful, for around her Thanksgiving altar* have never assembled a more prosperous and contented people. The year has wit­ nessed a gigantic development of her re­ sources, adding wonderfully to the high standing of the State. As n part of tiie Union, Michigan is thankful for the again demonstrated sta­ bility of national institutions, for the wise conduct of national affairs and the en­ larged fields of national activity. Bow­ ing the head with sorrow by the grave of President McKinley, the heart is nev­ ertheless filled with thanksgiving that there is left with the people the priceless memory of hi* noble life and the inspir­ ing lessons it teaches. It is a good thing to be an American living In these time* and Thanksgiving Day should be embrac­ ed as an occasion for renewed consecra­ tion to the duties of citizenship and devo­ tion to the welfare of tho State nnd the nation. The day calls especially for the renewal of home ties and associations, for tho home is the strongest bulwark of tba nation and its protection a sacred duty. • In testimony whereof I hare hereunto set my hand and caused tbe great acai of the State to be affixed, this seventh day of November, A. D. 1901, and of the in­ dependeuce of tbe United States the one hundred and twenty-sixth. A. T. BLISS, Governor. Hard Lack in the West.

HIGH GRADE ENTERTAINMENT The opening number of the High School entertainment course given by Oelschlagel concert company at the opera house Tuesday evening was a complete surprise to all who attended. Everyone expected a good entertain­ ment, but few anticipated hearing a violinist of such ability us Christian Oelschlagle proved himself to be. From start to^finish, bis wore was re­ fined, full of sympathy, yet clear and strong. His rendition of Schubert’s serenade was a masterly effort, while bis more popular selecilons took the audience by storm. The reading of Mrs. Gates was a rare treat u> all who enjoy a good reader. Her marked personal was shown at its best ^n the selection from “Quo Vadis” and the storm scene in the "Prince of India:’’ however, few who heard '‘Little Frown Baby” will soon forget it. .Miss Johnson’s work was uniformly good and deserves much praise. The only regret that those who have had charge of the arranging for the course have, is that so excellent a company should be obliged to face so small an audience. Nashville is amply able to support a first-class course of entertainments such as have been arranged for, and it is a distinct disappointment to be obliged to an­ nounce that the course is not being giyen the patronage that will make it self supporting. The next number on the course will be given by Herbert A. Sprague, im­ personator, on Wednesday evening,. December 11.

From this it spread to the terminal station, which, with It* ore bins, machinery and supplies, is - a mass of ruins. The flames quickly communicated with the other buildings.

Reporter-II. S. Canfield was given thirty days for tho same offense. Genera! Manager Caravaiho and Assistant City Editor Ham­ mond, also charged with contempt, were dismlsned. After they had spertt an hour iu jail Judge Dunne released the prisoners od bonds of 53,000 each under a writ of ha­ beas corpus. The American criticised Judge Hanecy’a decision of the gas trust case while it was still open. The offense of Law­ rence and Canfield against the court, the judge ruled, was the writing and publica­ tion of an article implying that the judge was influenced in his decision in favor of' the gas trust, by his political aspira­ tion.* and the power of trusts. Iu his opinion. Judge Hanccy contends that If the court loses the power to com­ mit persons guilty of contempt, the whole judicial structure would fall, and when the judicial structure Is gone, the struc­ ture of civil government will fall and there will be no longer any guarantee of our liberty. Strikers and Noaualanist* Engage in a Fierce Fight. In a pitched battle between strikers nnd non-union miners at the Providencs Coal Company's mine* near Madisonville, Ky., two men were killed and four wounded. The attack which was mads by the strikers, armed with rifles, lasted two hours, and over 2,000 shots were ex­ changed. The adjutant general df the State ordered two companies of militia to the scene. The trouble began at C o’clock Sunday morning, when seventy-five armed men appeared a hill about 400 yards from the slope mine of the Providence Coal Company and began firing on the tipple. At the first fire the guards #ero aroused and all prepared to resist the attack. They were soon joined by many of the non-union miner*. The attacking party continued to fire on the tipple and the de­ fenders were forced to seek abelter else­ where, ns the bullets were falling all around them. Many of the guards sought refuge in the bouses of the Don-union miners. Others hid ‘behind box cars and coal cars and again began to fire at the men on the hill. Finding that their fire had llttlg effect on the union miners, the guards and non­ union miners began to advance. The at­ tacking party poured another heavy fire into them and they were again forced to seek shelter, this time bebnd a pile of coal slack, where they kept up the fire op the strikers. Soon re-enforcements came and the guard* and nou-union miners concentrat­ ed jbeir fire on the men in the ditch, caus­ ing thcmgto scatter. Two held their ground and volley after volley was sent in their direction. For a few minutes the fire was returned, but presently ono man was heard to scream. His rifle drop­ ped to the ground and he fell with a bul­ let in his bead. His companion fired a dozen or more shots and then he, too, fell, wounded. A few minutes after tho leader dropped the firing ceased and the assail­ ants fled. TO FIGHT RAILROAD COMBINE. Gov. Van Sant Favor* C.iIIIuk Special Seavion of the Legislature. Gov.

A spontaneous demand has sprung up In Minnesota for the convening of the Legislature for the purpose of enacting legislation that will prevent any change In the management or direction of the roads In the combine.

They repro■ent tho owner* of nearly 60.000,000 cat­ - tie and a* many sheep, and a total capital Inrertxjfent of $4,600,000,000. Mwt of the delegate* to thl* annual convention of tho National Live Stock Association come from the great cattle and sheep ranges of tho far West, whence come also most ><f the cattle and aheep which feed’ not only the United State* but a constantly increasing pro­ portion of the civilised world. As a rule they are quiet, well-dressed, prosperous men, used to the good things of the world •qd accustomed to handling large busi­ ness affairs. A visitor to their ranch bouse* on the western prairie* and moun­ tain slopes would probably be surprised to find oriental rugs on their floors, grand piano* in their parlors, and all the lux­ uries of modern life nt their elbows, for they are men who like to live well and who are not afraid to spend their money. At the same time a visitor to the cattle country would look almost in vain for the cattle baron of ten year* ago. Within that time tho cattie business has been completely revolutionized, and instead of a few hundred men practically controll­ ing the cattle and sending out great herds of 100,000 or more head each, there* are now millions of owners, and th© great bulk of the beef cattle, run la herds of a jfew hundred. Lc»« than ten years ago the cattle ship­ ped in to the. great market* from the range* were all “long horn*.’’ and they went directly to the stock yards .from the ranges to be cut. up into beef. These long horn* were surprisingly hardy. As cattlemen put it, they were the best ’■hustlers” In the world. They could live “on- air” and could stand' almost any •mount of hardship and privation*. Also they were cheap, and a loss of a few hundred bend in a blizzard did not mean much to the owner of 100,000 when he could buy "others for from $5 to $10 LIGHT ON. CANAL REPORT. OBTTLXG BID OF SHEEP. each. They were sent to market when they were 5 to 7 years old, and they brought about 3^ or 4 cents a pound on the hoof. Now the cattle bred on the western ranges are grade short horns and are brought to maturity and market when they are 2-year-old* on the aver­ age. Nor does the man on.the cattle range ship his cattle directly to the mar­ ket. All but a "small proportion of them are sold as “feeders.” That is. as soon as the young steers hare got their growth they are takfln off the ranges and sold to farmers and dealers in the great corn raising States. The average "feeder” weighs 800 or 900 pounds, and the stock­ man- gets 4 cent* a pound for-it. . Tho corn raiser feed* it on corn for five or six months, by the end of which time the "feeder” weighs from 1,200 to 1.500 pounds, and Is sent to the stock yards ns “prime beef,” where It brings as high ns 7 cents, or even a fraction more, a pound. In other words, the. present cattle rais­ er of tho great West sells his 2-year-olds at present for at least ns much money as he got for his 5-eear-old long horns five years ago. At the same time, tho man who prepared “feedera” for the market makes a profit not only of several cents a pound, but also adds from 300 to 600 । pounds to each of the cattle be handles. This revolution in the business has been brought about by the substitution of pure bred beef cattle for the old long horns. These pure bred animal* not only mature iii one-third of the time taken by th© “Texas steers,’*1 but they furnish amuch better article of beef. They cannot bo left to take care of themselves, how­ ever, m eould the old long horns. They must be given much more attention and must.’aho be protected from undue ex­ posure and privation.' Where a long horn would go out and turtle a good living for himself one of-the new grade steer* would lay down and dir. Consequently it I* no longer possible, for a man to han­ die so many of. them, and the average size of the herd* has been cut down to less than bue-tenth their old size. The gradual settlement by homestead­ ers of the most fertile parts of the old cattle ranges has also had Its-effect in cutting down the size of the herd* It is also true that within ’.he last five year* hundreds of cattlemen have gone out of that business and started Into the raising of sheep. The demand for both wool and mat toodps been an Increasing o’Ae. and the sheep men have been as x rule exceedingly prosperous. This great increase In the number of sheep men has necessarily greatly cut down the amount of country which I* open to the Cattle­ men, and as a consequence there is at present a bitter rivalry on between tho breeder* of .sheep and cattle. In many instances this rivalry ha* broken out into open warfare, and In some of the West: ern States the cattlemen Are organized for the purpose of keeping out the sheep at the point of the Winchestcr.-jifle. On one occasion in Colorado/where tho fight between the cattle and «heep men reached the climax of violence, the cattle­ men at bight rode down Upon the flock of n bold herder, started the,sheep down a mountain road ia a wild panic and never stopped until most ofrhcm had been driv­ en over a high precipice to' destruction. To appreciate the bitterness of feeling which exist* between the two class** of live stock men it is necessary to under­ stand something about the results of feed­ ing sheep In’a cattle country. SCENE OF MINE DISASTER IN COLORADO. Chief Beasonw Whr the Commission Fa­ vor* Nicaragna Route. A synopsis of the report of the Irthxniun canal commission gives the com­ mission** reason* for selecting the Nic­ aragua route In preference to the Pan­ ama route. It says that the Panama route alone is feasible for a sea level canal, although both are entirely practi-. cable and feasible for. a cnna| with locks. Tho time required to template a .“<n level canal on the Panama route, prth• bly more than twice that needed to build a canal'with locks, exclude* it from fszorable consideration aside from other features of It* construction. •With an adequate force and plant the commUdoti estimate* that the Nicaragua canal can be .completed in four year*. This Indicates,. under reasonable allow­ ance for ordinary. delays, that if the iorce and plant are available to secure, a practically cortturrent execution of all portions of Ute work on the .route the complexion of the entire fiork jnlghi be effected within six years after Its begin­ ning exclusive (jt the -two years estimat- , ad for the period of preparation. The greatest single feature of work on ; th* Panama route is the excavation bi > the- Culebra section, amounting to about 43.0U9.000 cubic yards of hard clay, much • of which 1* clashed as soft rock. It I* * estimated that this cut can be completed In eight years exclusive of a two-year period for preparation. The report goes on to say: "A canal by the Panama rout* will be simply a means of communicating between the. two oceans. The Nicaragua route, on. the other band, would bang Nicaragua and a large portion of Costa Rio* and other Central American States Into close and easy communication with the United States and with Europe." The report also points out difference* In hygiene conditions existing along the Nicaragua and Panama routes and makes it clear that In this respect owing to ■parse population the Nicaragua route is much more preferable than tho 1’anama route. 'The total length of the Nicaragua route from aca to »ea la 183.0(1 miles, while the total length of the Panama route Is 49.9. mile*.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson'in his annual report calls attention to the fact that the grand total of animals and ani­ mal products exported during the year exceeded $250.(XX).00U in value. This vast foreign market la only preserved, he says, to our producers by tha indefati­ gable efforts of the department aud the rigid inspection required through the bureau of animal industry. This bureau inspected for export 385,000 cattle, 228.O0O sheep sad 48,000 horses and mules, and nearly 1.000 vessels carrying lire stock.- Imported animals ♦rero also in­ spected to tho number of 342,000. and where necessary quarantined. The Secretary suggests that with the enormous interests o«r stock raisers have at stake, and inspection and quarantine Affording, after ail, a relative and not an .absolute guarantee of protection, jt might be well fur this country to follow the ex­ ample of Great Britain nnd exclude live stock from other countries entirely.; Work of Vast Proportiaus. The meat inspection service invoices tho inspection nt time of slaughter of nearly 37,000.000 animals. Of the more than 5,000,000 cattle inspected, the con­ demned carcasHes were about one-fourthof 1 per cent; of the G.500,000 sheep, onetenth of 1 per cent, and of 24,000.(MX> bogs, one-third of 1 per cent In the control of indigenous diseases, 1.QOOXMO inspections were made, aud over 45,000 cars disinfected iu the Texas fevar ser­ vice alone. In the repression of scabies in sheep nearly 8,000.000 animals were inspected, and over 1.000,000 dipped un­ der the supervision of the department in­ spectors. The Secretary points out the serious evil resulting ffom a system of State inspection which, if it became gen­ eral, would effectually prevent the mar­ keting of live stock iu some sections and would destroy much of the usefulness of the federal inspection. Particular attention baa been given.to the distribution of forecasts by means of the rural free' delivery. There are now­ in operation 365 centers, supplying aggregate of nearly 42,000 families in the fanning districts with the latest weather predictions. With some additional ap­ propriation it is the intention to reach several hundred thousand farm houses with the daily forecasts and warnings during the coming year. The agricultural conditions of our new possessions are being thoroughly studied, and special attention is Ixing given to the production In these possessions of tropical crops, for which tho United States pays out million* of dollars annually. Rais­ ing coffee in Porto Rico has been ths subject ol special study. Our annual im­ portations of this valuable crop amount now to 870.000,000. SttidyiUK Value of Food a. The work of the bureau of chemlatry in investigating the composition, nutritive value and adulteration of food products during the year was devoted particularly, tho Secretary saya, to the study of pre­ served meats, the composition and nutri­ tive value of tho preserved article being compared with the original, and the pre­ servatives, if any were employed, deter­ mined. Food products imported Into this coun­ try and suspected of adulteration or of containing injurious constituents, have also been examined. The Secretary is authorized to inspect American food pro­ ducts intended for export. Unfortunate­ ly. Congress has not provided appropria­ tions adequate to tho proper execution of thi* law. Referring to grazing lands, the Sec­ retary says probably 400.000.000 acres of the public domain has no agri­ cultural value except for pasturage. It Is at present an open common, with nu laws for its protection or disposal. He refers to the frequent conflicts of the farmers under irrigation with Ahe rang*.' stocknuflf. and recommends as a remedial and beneficial measure tho leasing of thw graxing land in such a way as not to in­ terfere with tho homesteader MANY KILLED IN A BLAST.

Though only fifteen persons are posi­ tively known to be dead, and very few bodies have been recovered, the full death list, it is thought, will prove to be very close to eighty. In addition aevcnty-slx men. women and children were injured, some uf them seriously. The dead and injured together will foot up about half of the 300 passengers who wore curried into collision on the ill-fated trains.

WhiIe MatI. ment has been favorable to better grain prices, the changes last week, as during the week before, were really not large or Important, so sentiment has really counted for little excepting, perhaps, in preventing declines. Fluctustions, too, hare been narrow, even though there has been a pretty fair speculative trade In all the cereals, much of it. however, local and professional, outside interest being only moderate. Shipping and export demands for wheat have been relatively small, milling de­ mands very fair, while for corn demands have come largely again from sections to the South, Southeast and Southwest, where the crop of 1901 was largely a failure. The best demands bare been for oats, and for this reason that grain ha* been relatively sironger than the others, best prices o** the crop thus far having been reached last week. Some little im­ provement in export demands were noted, The Western situation continue* to bo the factor fq corn. It has not changed to any extent within a week, except that previous predictions of a scarcity are being confirmed. Husking operations show that tho yield is more disappoint­ ing as work progresses, and this may lead to a reduction in the estimate* by the Agricultural Department in its final figures. Provisions last week,, after being weak and lower on heavy receipts of hogs, sud­ denly started up and pork advanced 80c n barrel In three days, lard advanced nearly >^c a pound, aud ribs %c. The week’s hog receipts were surprisingly heavy, being tbe largest at this season in ten years, and were the best of the year, aggregating 281,000, against 241,­ 000 last year. At Western poifats there was also a big run. and receipts aggre­ gated 626,000, compared with 548.000 tbe previous week, and were 98,000 more than last year.

The Gov­ ernment should are to It that within its Jur­ isdiction thU Is so. and should provide a with the development and operation of these commercial agencies.

We hope to'tnnbe our administration of tbe Islands honorable to .our nation by making It of the highest benefit -to the Filipino* themselves: and us an earnest of what we Intend to do, we point to what we have done.

On the sixth of' September. President Mc­ Kinley was shot Uy an anarchist while attending the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo. and died in that city’ on the fourteenth of thnt month. Of the last seven elected I residents, he Is the third who has been murdered, and the bare recital of thia fact’is sufficlent to justify grave alarm among all loyal American ritixeD*. Moreover, the circumstances of this, the third assassi­ nation of an. American President, have a peculiarly sinister significance. Both President Lincoln and President Garfield were killed by assassin* of types unfor­ tunately not uncommon in history; Presi­ dent /Lincoln falling a victim to the ter­ rible pastions aroused by four years of civil war, and President Garfield to the revengeful vanity of a disappointed office seeker. President McKinley was killed by an utterly depraved criminal belong­ ing to that body »f criminals who object to all government*, good and bod alike, who are against any form of popular lib­ erty If it is guaranteed by even the moat Just and liberal law*, and who are as lostile to the upright exponent of a free people’s sober will as to the tyrannical and Irresponsible desjKit. It Is not too much to say that at the. time ot President McKinley's death he waa the most widely loved man in al) the United States; while we have never had any public man of hi« position who has been so wholly free from the bitter animosities incident to public life. There could be no personal hatred ‘ hlm.-Yor •eek to excuse their-criminal tical Ing that it is exerci*<*d for ----- ends. inveigh against wealth a Irresponsible power. But for this assassination even this base apology cannot ire urged? When President McKinley wrs a*snssinated the blow was not aimed nt tyran­ ny or wealth. It was ni^ied nt one of . the strongest t-namplons the wage work­ er fans ever hnd; «t one of the most faith­ ful representatives of the system at pub­ lic rights and representative government who has ever risen to public office. Presi­ dent McKinley tilled that political office for which the entire people vote, and D* President—not even Lincoln himself— was ever more earnestly anxious to rep­ resent the well thought-out wishes of the people; .his one anxiety in every crtsl* was to keep in closest touch with tbe people—to find out what they thought and to endeavor to give expression to their thought, after having endeavored to guide that thought aright. That there might be nothing lacking to .romplete the Judos-like infamy of hi* act, tbe asMUMin took advantage of an occasion when the President wa* meeting the people generally; and advancing as if to take tbe hand outstretched to him in kindly ami brotherly fellowship, he turned the noble and generous confidence of the victim into an opportunity to strike the fatal blow. There Is no baser deed In all the annals of crime. Nation Mourns VcKin'cy. The shock, the grief of the country, are . bitter hi the minds of aL. We mourn n good and great President who is dead: ' but while we mourn we are lifted up by the splendid achievements of his life and the grand heroism with which be met his death. When we turn from the man to the na­ tion, the harm done is so great as to.cxcit® our gravest apprehensions ami to de­ mand our wisest r.nd most resolute ac­ tion. This criminal was a profcitiwd an­ archist, inflamed by the fenchings of pro­ fessed anarchists, and probably also by the reckless utterance* of those who, on the stump and in the public press, appeal to the dark, and evil spirits of malice and doctrines, and they cannot escape their ■hare of responsibility tor the whirlwind that is reaped. ’ Tbe blow was aimed not at thia Prealdent, but at all Presidents; at every ayinbol of government. Anarchy is no more an expression of “social discontent" than picking pocket* or wife beating. Tbe an­ archist. nnd especially the anarchist in the United States, is merely one type of criminal, more dangerous than any other because he represents the same depravity Id a greater degree. The man who ad­ vocates anarchy directly or indirectly, in any shape or fashion, or the man who apologises for anarchist* and their deeds, make* himself morally accessory to murdet before the fact, The anarchist is a criminal who ia not merely the enemy of system and uf progress, but the deadly too of liberty. He is not the victim of Btw social or political injustice. There ars do wrongs to remedy Jn hl* ct*e. Th* Th* cause of his criminality i* to be found- ■in his own *vll passions and in the evil con­ duct uf those who urge him «n. not in any failure by others or by the Blate to de jnetlce to him at his. He Is a male- factor and nothing else. No man or body of men preaching anarchistic doctrines should be allowed at large any more than if preaching the murder of some specified private individual. Anarchistic speeches, writings nnd meetings nre essentially se­ ditious nnd treasonable.. 1 earnestly recommend to the Congress that iu the exercise of its wise discretion Jt should fake into consideration the com­ ing to this country- of anarchists or per­ sona professing principles hostile to all government and justifying the murder of those placed in authority. If found here they should be promptly deported to the country whence they came; and farreaching provision should be made tor the punishment of those who stay. No mut­ ter calls more urgently for the wisest thought of the Congress, The federal conns should be given jurisdiction over any man who kills or attempts to kill the President or any man who by the constitution or by law is in line of auecettiidh for the president, while the punishment for an unsuccessful at­ tempt should be proportioned to the enor­ mity of the offense against our Institu­ tions. • Anarchy is a crime against the whole human race; and nil mankind should band against the anarchist. Ills crime should be made an offense against the law of nations. It should be-so declared by treaties among all civilised powers. This great country will not fall into anarchy, and if anarchists should ever become a serious menace to' its institu­ tions, they would not merely be stamped out. but would involve, in their «>wd ruin every active or passive sympathiser with fire. During the last five year* business con­ fidence has been restored, and the nation Is to be congratulated because of its pres­ ent almundlng prosperity. Such prosper- ( itjr can never be created by law alone, although it is easy enough to destroy it by mischievous laws. Fundamentally the welfare of each cillsen, and therefore the welfare .of the aggregate ot citizens which makes t><> nation, must rest upon individual thrift and energy, resolution and intelligence. Nothing can take the place of this individual capacity; but wise legislation nnd honest and intelligent ad­ ministration can give it the fullest scope, the largest opportunity to work to good effect. The tremendous nnd highly complex in­ dustrial development which went on with ever accelerated rapidity during the lat­ ter half of the nineteenth century briugs us face to face, at the lieginninji «f the twentieth, with wry serious social prob­ lems. The upbuilding of the great in­ dustrial centers hn* meant a startling in­ crease. not merely in tbe aggregate of wealth, but In tbe number of very large individual, aud especially of very large corporate, fortune*. The creation of these great corporate fortunes has not been due to the tariff nor to any other govern­ mental action, but to natural causes in the bnsiness world, operating in other countries aa they operate in our own. The process has aroused much antagonism, a great part of which i« wboilj- without warrant. It is not true that as the rich have grown richer the poor have grown poorer. On the contrary, never before has the average man, the wage worker, the farmer, tjie small trader, been so well off as in this country at the present time. There have been abuses connected with the accumaiation of wealth; yet it re­ main* true thnt n fortune accumulated in legitimate business can bo nccnmnlnted by the person specially benefited only on condition of conferring immense incident­ al benefits upon others. , C <vKioti 1* AlvheJ. The captains of Industry who have driv­ en the railway systems across this conti­ nent. who have built up our commerce, .who have developed our manufactures, j have on the whole done great good to four people. Without them the material ( development of which we are so justly Sroud could Dever have taken place. I [oreover, we should recognize the im­ 'mense Importance to this material dewlopment of leaving as unhampered as i* compatible with tbe public good the ,strung and forceful men upon whom the a success of business operations inevitably ' rests. An additional reason for caution Ln dealing with corporations is to l>e found ' in th* international commercial condi­ tions of to-day. The same business con­ ’ dition* which have produced th* freat ' aggregations of corporate and individual ! Wealth have made them very potent fac­ ’ tors in international commercial competi' tioD. America hrs only just begun to 1 *a*ume that commanding position in Hm» , Interhatlonal borines* wortd which we believe will more and mure be hers. It la of th* almost Importance that this po­ I sition be not jeopardised, espocially at a । time when tie overflowing abundssca ef ' our own natural resources and tho akin, business energy, and mechanical aptitude of our peuplo make foreign market* es­ sential. Under such conditions it would be most unwjse to cramp or to fetter the youthful strength of onr nation. Moreover, it cannot too often bo polnted‘out that to strike with Ignorant vio­ lence at the Interests of one set of men almost Inevitably endangers the interests of all. Disaster to great business enter­ prises can never have its effects limited .to the men nt the top. It spreads throughout, nnd while it is bad for every­ body, it is worst for those farthest down. The ca^italiM may be shorn of bi* lux­ uries; but the wag»' worker may be de­ prived of even bare necessities. in faring new industrial conditions, the whole history of the world shows that leg­ islation will generally la? both unwise and ineffective unless undertaken 'after calm inquiry and with sober stdf-restraint. Much of the legislation directed at the trusts would have been exceedingly mis­ chievous had it not also been entirely in­ effective. Tbe men who demand the im­ possible qr the undesirable serve us the allies of the forces with which they nre nominally nt war. for they hamper those who wonld endeavor to find out in ra­ tional fashion what the wrongs really »re and to whnt extent nnd In what manner it is practicable to apply remedies. Yet it is true that there nre real nnd grave evils, one of the chief being over-capital­ isation because of ita many baleful con­ sequences; and a resolute and practical effort must be made to correct these evils. ' There is a widespread conviction in the minds of the American people that the great corporations known as trusts nre in certain of their feature* nnd tendencies hurtful to tbe general welfare. Combina­ tion and concentration should be. not pro­ hibited. but supervised and within rea­ sonable limits controlled. The first es*entinl ia determining how to deal with the great industrial.combina­ tions is knowledge of the facta—publicity. In rhe interest of the public, the govern- 'fUgfiMIK _ . ___ , ftLSSST Publicity is only sure n-medy which we can now invoke. Whnt further rem­ edies are needed Ln the way uf govern­ mental regulation, or taxation, <-an only be determined after publicity ha* been obtained, by process of law. and in the course of administration. Tbe large corporations; commonly call­ ed srusts, though organized In one State, always do business Jn many States, often doing very little business in the Stkte where they nre, incorporated. There is utter lack of uniformity in the State law* about them; nnd as no State has,any ex(flusive interest in or power over thelf acts, it has in practice proved impmtelble to get adequate regulation through State action. Therefore. In the interest of tbe whole people, the (nation should, without interfering with the power of the States in die matter itseih also assume power of supervision and regulation over all cor­ porations doing an interstate busineM. 1 believe that a law can be framed which will enable tbe national government to exercise control along the line* above in­ dicated. There should lie created a cab­ inet officer, to be known as Secretary of Commerce and Industries, as provided in the bill Introduced at the last session of the Congress. It should be his province to deal with commerce in its broadest sense; including among many other tilings whatever concern* labor and all matters affecting the great MaiDoaa corporation* and our xperchant marine. With the sole exception of the farming Interest, no one matter is of such vita! moment to our whole people as the wel­ fare of tbe wage workers. If the farmer and the wage worker are well off, it is absolutely certain that all others will be well off, too. It is therefore a mutter for hearty congratulation that on the whole wages are higher to-day in the United States than ever before in our history, and far higher than iu any other country. Tbe ftnmUrd uf living Is also higher than erer. before. Every effort of legislator and administrator should be bent- to se­ cure tbe permanency of thia condition of things and its improvement wherever possible. Not only must our labor be pro­ tected by tbe tariff, but it should also be protected so far as It is poraible from the presence in this country of any labor­ ers brought over by contract, or uf those who, coming freely, yet represent a stand­ ard of living so depressed that they can undersell our meu in the labor market and drag them to a lower level. I regard it as necessary, with this end iu view, to re-enact immediately the law excluding Chinese laborers and to strengthen it wherever necessary In order to make its enforcement entirely effective. . If possible legislation should be passed, in connectiop with the interstate com­ merce law, which will render effective the efforts of different States to do away with the competition of convict contract labor in the open labor market. The most vital problem with which this country, and .... for .... thnt matter the ---. whole rorld. hM civilised world, has to deal, is the probprob­ — -side -,y-the better *—“■—­ lem which baa for one raent of aortal conditions, moral and phyricai. in large cities, aud for another nido tbe effort to deni with that tangle of farreaching questions which wc group to­ gether when we speak ot "labor.** Th* chief factor in the snectuts of each man— wags worker, farmer and capitalist allk* —must ever im» the sum total of his own individual qualities and abUties. Thera must Ln many cases be action by the gov­ ernment iu order to safeguard the rights and interests of nil.. Our present immigration laws are un­ satisfactory. We need every honuSt nnd efficient Immigrant fitted to become an American citizen. But there should Le a comprehensive law enacted with the ob­ ject of working a threefold improvement. over our present system. First, we ahoiild aim to exclude absolutely not only all persons who are known to be believers in anarchistic-principles or members of anarchistic sdeieties. but also all persona who are of a low moral tendency or of unsavory reputation. The second object of a proper immigration law ought to be to secure by a careful and not merely perfunctory educational test some intelli­ gent capacity to appreciate American In­ stitutions and act sanely as American citizen.*. Finally, ul! persons should be excluded who nre below a certain stand­ ard of economic fitness to enter our in­ dustrial field as. competitors with Ameri­ can labor. Both the durational nnd economic tests in a wise Immigration law should be desfened tn protect anil elevate the general body politic anil social. A very close sitperviamn should be exercised over the steamship companies which mninly bring over tbe immigrants. nnd they should be held to a strict accounta­ bility for nuy Infraction of the law. Thcrc is general acquiescence iu our present tariff system tts a national pol­ icy. The first requisite to uur prosperity is rhe continuity an.I stability of this economic i»olicy. Nothing could be more unwise' tb.it» to disturb the business in­ terests uf th.- country by any general tar­ iff change at this rime. Our experience iu the hast has shown that sweeping reVtslahs of the tariff are apt tu product! conditions r!a*--ly apprpm-liiug panic In Business wurhl. It is not only r-. but eml eslrable. to com- rocal Tieucfit nn 5 "Il nations.' Such reciprocity was esin-cinlly 'proritled for iu^tfav pre-i-mt tariff law. Reciprocity must be treated as the handmaiden of proto-tion. Our first duty is to see that the pfulection granted by the tariff in every case where it i* need­ ed ts maintained, and that reciprocity be sought for so far a* it can safely be done without injury to our home indus­ tries. Just how far thi* is must be deter­ mined according to th.- Individual' case, remembering always that every- applica­ tion of onr tariff policy to meet onr shift­ ing national Deeds must bo conditioned upon the cardinal fact that the duties must never be reduced larlow tbe poiut that will cover the dlffen-nct- between the labor cost here and abroad. Subject to this proviso of the proper protection nec­ essary to our Industrial well being at home, the principle of reciprocity must command our hearty .support. Tbe natural line ot development for a policy of reciprocity will be in connec­ tion with those of our productions wlih h no longer require all of the support one* neetled to establish them upon a sounff basis, and with tNb*e others where either because of natural or of economic causes we are beyond the reach of successful competition.

It Is our duty to see that their training is of a kind to Insure tbe high­ est powrible expression of power to these units when actlng.ln combination.

News of disaster to the steamer Wet­ more and her consorts, the Brunette and King, is brought by members ot the crews of the wrecked boats. All three seem to be total losses. The Wetmore, which wax towing the other boats, tried to make Tobermory harbor, in Georgian bay, in a heavy gate and snowstorm. The steam­ er missed the harbor and went ashore in an uninhabited part of the rocky Geor? gian bay shore. The Brunette aud King soon after followed the steamer, in going on the rocks. The steamer’s wheel was broken, and in tho seas, the l>oats begun pounding. Ax it seemed dangerous to remain on board, the crews took to their lifeboats, and retched dry tend at Bob­ bitt Island. There they spent the night. The following morning they were rescued from the island and taken to JiViarton. The men say the Wetmore was breaking up the last time they saw her. Tbe barges were in a dangerous position. All three boats were loaded with lumber at 1’arry Sound for Buffalo.

Mald and Suitor Ride Sixty-five Mllei Washington correspondence: The opening of the first session of the Fltty-sev.enth Congress at- noob Monday drew to the capitol a great throng of spectators eager to witness the acenes of animation which mark the anneal reas­ sembling of the national lawmakers. Although the actual work of the two houses was not to’ begin until 2 o’clock, the historic old structure—now refur­ nished from end to*end until it gfaone with marble, gilt- and rich decorations, was astir long before that hour. It was an ideal day to bring out the public—sunny and warm, with just enough breexe from the south to texily stir the flags over the capitol, some.of which were raised for tho first time since ’he adjournment of Con­ gress nine months ago. Senators and members began arriving early in tho day and there was the usual handshaking among old friends and in­ formal talk of the work ahead. The vet­ eran Senator from Iowa, Mr. Allison, was one of the first to reach the Sen­ ate wing and resume his work as chair­ man of the committee on appropriations. Senator Jones of Arkansas, the Demo­ cratic floor leader in the Senate, was an­ other early arrival and soon had a circle of hia Democratic colleagues in tho cloak room discusslag the session's program. Speaker Henderson did not reach tho House wing until shortly before the •ses­ sion opened and remained in his private office conferring with members during the formalities preceding his re-election as Speaker. Since the adjoujement of thg Senate last spring the chamber has .been redec­ orated and recarpeted. The principal fea­ tures of its beauty-and individuality have been retained, but they have been added to by the artistic decorations. A bright green carpet with' old-gold figures has taken tiic place of the old-gold carpet of the Congress, nnd the desks and fur­ nishings of the chamber have, been no­ tably improved. .

J f - JUDGE • WILLIAM.- H • TAFT a 9S HIS picture of Judge Taft is said to be the best likeness of the first Ameri­ can Governor of Hie Philippine Blands, to whom has fallen the great task of making order out of chaos, substituting American methods for Spanish bribery, organising courts and municipalities, giving the right to Vote to those fit fer the franchise, nnd, generally, "creating a government from the ground up" \s where nothing but semi-barbaric ideas of government have prevailed. Judge Taft is from Ohio, i« a graduate of Yale, and in a son of Alphonso. Toft, Secre­ tary of War and Attorney General under President Grant. He was judge of the United States Court of Appeals when appointed chairman of the Philippine Commission, from which he stepped into the governorship when that office wan created. ' • ; tWIFE CHARGED WITH MURDER. ESTIMATES OF APPROPRIATIONS The crime of having murdered her own child has bora charged against Mrs. Elis­ abeth Howe Dale of Hoboken, N. J., a woman of good connections, of former good reputation, but for tho past two year* living separated from her husband, Harvey S. Dale, an insurance man- of Chicago. Unfortunately Mrs. Dale form­ ed an attachment for another man, El­ bert Waller, n German, whom abe met hi Europe, and to this is due her condi­ tion, with her husband pressing against her the charge of murder. Some seven years ago Harvey S. Dalo snd Elizabeth Howe were married in New York. Their relations were happy and harmonious until a little over two yean ago, when Mr*. Dale liegan an In- MILS ELIZABETH HOWE DALE. thnary with Waller. Husband and wife separated and by agreement the father obtained the custody of their child. Ernedoe, then 3 years old. He placed her with his family physician, Dr. Stubbs, meantime awaiting the expiration of two year* to begin suit for -divorce, being tverse to institute proceedings for any other cause titan that of desertion. A short while ago Mr. Dale.allowed Mrs. Dak* to take Emeline to her home, where also Waller lived. Then he returned to Chicago. Emlliue was not returned to her guardian and afterward Mrs. Dale and Waller, with Emeilne, left die Belwnin:* den A**.s„<<r. avenue house, .Meir... saying »hnr they tvu.ii were going to Philadelphia. They put up at a Ho­ boken hotel, however, and shortly after it doctor was summoned to their apart­ ments to attend Emeline. Ho adminis­ tered medicine and left her apparently in good condition. Early Tuesday morning he was summoned again. He found Eme­ lin* dead. 'The circumstances surrounding the child's death aroused the suspicions of some of Mr. Dale's relatives and when these spoke to Mrs. Dale of the matter she said that the child had died through the mistake of having eaten strychnine tablets for candy. Whereupon the au­ thorities, upon the representations of the husband, took charge of the case.

The time of the enlisted men expired while the Sheridan was on the high seas, far from her des­ tination. Acting under regulations of the department, the officers secured the nec­ essary papers, passed over the money 'and mustered the 1.555 soldiers out of the service. Then began a rumpus per­ haps never equaled on an American transport. The discharged men cheered wildly. i^>me threw their small arms overboard,’ aud all at once manifested a disposition to “kick." Some of tho men were ordered to empty buckets and to clean the officers’ quarters. They told the officers tha't no man who wore a shoulder strap should dictate to them. The officers tried to enforce their de­ mands, but were again jeered. Two days before the Sheridan arrived in San Fran­ cisco a riot took place. BROTHERS Lr.FT $35,000,003.

Strnnre Disappearance of a Pond. A-'strange phenomenon has appeared on thcYfann of Allen Whitely, in Oshtemo township.

One night those on hte farm experienced a tremor ns of a slight earthquake shock, lasting alwut thiye seconds, and' Ute next morning it was discovered that every drop of water had disappeared from the pond as com­ plexly n» if pumped out. There was no hole or crack in the ground to indicate whkre tbe water had gone so suddenly, and the whole neighborhood is deeply puzzled by the mystery.

It is much shorter and is divided into four titles of fifteen sections, in all alKiut 2,700 words. The. first title, “Ocean Mail Steam­ ships," is devoted to amendments to the ocean mail act of 1891. Under the bill the Postmaster General is required to consider the national defense and the maritime Interests of the United States, 'as well as postal interests, as well as providing for the American ocean mails. Tiie purpose of this 'amendment- is to free the United States from dependence upon British, German and French auxil­ iary cruisers for its ocean mall service and to substitute a purely American sys­ tem. * The Frye bill provides seven distinct classes of mail steamers, nnd is based on the progress of ship building nnd mail requirements.abroad the past ten years. The general subsidy for all vessels, steam or sail, which are not under mail contracts, is uniform. 1 cent per gross ton per 100 nautical miles,, for not ex­ ceeding sixteen entries in one year. To promote the building of new ocean vessels nn additional allowance of onefourth of a cent pengross ton is made for fire years. Any vessel to receive the gen­ eral subsidy must carry mails, if. requir­ ed; must train In seamanship or engi­ neering one American youth for each 1.000'tons. ‘ The owner must agree to hold the vessel at the service of the government if required^for defense. Any vessel to receive subsidy must be class “A 1." and at least one-fourth of the crew must be Americans. ’ The third title. “Deep Sea Fisheries.” provides nn annual bounty of >2 n ton for deep sea fishing vessels and of >1 a month tar American citizens when engag­ ed in di<p sea fishing. The fourth title. "General Provisions," provides that n vessel shall receive only one form of subsidy, nnd that n vessel which has received a subsidy shall not be sold to a foreigner except by consent of the Secretary the Treasury, TONIC LAXATIVE If you have tour stomach, indigestion, biliousness, constipation, bad of appetite, insomnia, lack of energy, bad blood,-blotched or muddy akin, or any symptoms and disorders which tell tho story of bad bowels and an impaired digestive system, Laxakola Will Cure You.

She gave him a meal, and while he was eating whispered to Ned: "Isn’t he the very picture of Santa Claus?" "Say!" ejaculated Ned, with a start; “that makes me think of something great!

Like the other four races, the Indiana live within the territory of the Ameri­ can republic, Hut their life ta apart from that of the other races. They stand com­ pletely isolated and lire, so to say, merely because the white invaders have not en­ tirely exterminated them. A foreigner traveling through the United Slates will find it rather difficult to convince himself of the existence of Indians on the 'Amer­ ican continent. The Indiana are there, nevertheless. The United States govern­ ment spends nearly $10,000,000 a year' for their support and jjducation. Scarcely a century ago- the Indians oc­ cupied practically the entire territory of North America excepting the Atlantic coast and part of the coast of the Gtilf of Mexico. Nearly throe millions of square miles of a total- of 3.600,000 were occupied by the Indians, who. never numbered more than 500.000. Now there ore blit 236.000 Indians left, the majority of whom live upon reserva­ tions. A century ago they werq the ac­ tual owners of three million* of square miles-of territory, while now they are confined to an area of 220,000 square miles. The number of Indians in the United States is steadily decreasing. The last census show's that it has diminished by 40.000 since 1870. Thus it seems that the Indians are destined to share the fate of the buffalo. Deprived of their hunting figrounds and confined to a quiet agricultural life within the narrow limits of their reservations, the Indians live a miserable life like a wild bird |n a cage. The lack of proper food and hardening exercise makes them easy victims to tu­ berculosis and other diseases, and whisky causes their rapid degeneration. There is but one logical finale to the struggle be­ tween the whites and the Indians—the complete extermination of the tatter. FELICE FERRERO. Italian Anthropologist. Woman's Fashionable Clothes, I believe the dress of womerr this year to to the ugliest the world hns ever seen. How swift­ ly upon the heels of another doth each calamity tread! First iu ugliuess come the dragging, ill-conditioned skirt*. Who fashioned and formed these ungodly garments? There they are, thousands and thousands of them, daily paraded up and down the sidewalk, lop-sided, bedrag­ gled, inefficiently held up by clutching hands, stumbled over aud stepped upon by scores of awkward feet. Those skirts them? Next to the abominable trailing street skirt, in ugliness at least, comes a certain cruelly common atrocity in the form of a long cloth sack. A loose, bag­ gy, shapeless, bulging monstrosity which makes the woman who wears It look like an unmanageable, half*rxhau«ted balloon. There must have been an over-produc­ tion of some kinds of cloth last year, nisi the shrewd manufacturer* have proba­ bly induced the mysterious toings who dictate the fashions to "work off” the superfluous material upon ag unhappy world. Would that the moths might get at these baggy horrors. All women do not wear the lop-sided, draggly sYirts, or the bulging sacks, but there are dozens of these things in sight. The hats aren’t, so bad as they might be, but the hair is worn in such a way as to banish all thought of hats from the beud of wearer and beholder alike. It is a strange fact that this handful of hair, dragged down over one side of the face, is always counterbalanced by the lop­ sided skirt. Every feminine creature seems to instinctively haul down her front hair on one side, and clutch at tor dress skirt on the other. The effect is nightmarish. ADA C. SWEET. Poetry Out of Date. There is no great thought, no worthy emotion, which mny nut be totter expressed in prose than in verse to-dny. Verse was the primitive expression of man’s thought. Rhythm was the char­ . acteristic of it* first crude lit­ erary effort*. Homer, Dante and Shnkspearo cast their thoughts and emotions in verse tocayse the metrical form was the only adequate method of expression invented in their day.

The 13-months-old boy of Andrew- Buel, living on the Holland road, north of Port Huron, met with n shocking death. The family had in the house a hottie of lini­ ment known as Ban-Yau, the principal component ot which is gasoline.

For Rachel was conscious, even in this sud­ den meeting: of a change which the year’s absence had made in Nora; and, vngut as it was. she tried to grasp and compre­ hend it before she spoke. But she failed, fur the difference was too subtle to be traced through the old. glad, simple greeting which came so naturally from Nora’s lips when she saw Mrs. Corr. “Don’t look sorry to see me, Rachel,” she pleaded then, just in th old. wistful way; ”1 bare been so long looking for­ ward to seeing yofi. -I was on my wav thia afternoon when Larry met me with your note.

The way was so familiar to her' that no light ’ .‘ was needed for a guide, and the swift footsteps never paused nor diverged. It was just beside the fallen pine—where, a year ago, Will Foster nnd Mark hud found her—that she turned from the riv­ er. and ran straight across the pathless fields ton-ard Traveere. For a moment she paused then, for old Kitty sat alone Ikdore-tlie low turf fire, and in that moment it seemed to Nora as if she tnu»t be going up to her as in the old times, frankly to tell her plans and her perplexities to this sole confi­ dante of hers.

A pleasant turf fire glowed and flamed in the dingy sitting room at Travetre. nnd near it My. Poynx sat writing at the unsteady old table, on which two lighted candles stood. Never hnd there been such n blaze of light in the gloomy room, either through Col. St. George's occupation of Traveere, or since his death —never until this night, when the light was to guide the murderer. Mark hnd turned aside from the table, and had his pen idle in his hand, when the door was quietly opened end Nora came in—came in just as--If it were a natural thing for her to visit him alone. aftAudarktiess had fallen on the world without. Bnt, though her ease was so pretty, he could see that she only main­ tained It by n great effort, and that her face was white and her eyes troubled. With a great gladness iu his eyes, he had risen in the first moment; but the gladness rapidly gave way to apprehen­ sion. •“I'm—please don’t ask me what is the matter. Mr. P.oynx," Nora said, hurrying over the words. "Event one is well at the vicarage—I am quit?" well—nothing has happened. Please understand all that, and don't question me to-night. I—am come to pay you a call. I hare called upon you—isn't that the right expression in society? Please say you are glad to see me." “I .Mg very glad to see you," Mark said, doing his best to hide his surprise, cud pretending not to see the shy, pained color that had rushed jnto her face. "I was only beginning to wish that I had made Traveere more comfortable. This is the first evening I hare spent here. But I am expecting Doyle to-night; and he must have been detained, for I sent to,summon him long ago. I wish to see him here, else I should probably have been at the vicarage or Fiutona to-night. I am at your service. Miss St.- George. I will go home with you whenever you wish." “Thank you," she returned, simply. “I will tell you when I am ready. They don’t know I am here. I cannot tell you why I came—until to-morrow; but you trust me, don’t you?" "Trust you J" he echoed, his warm eyes full of amusement as well as of utter confidence in her. "I should—no, I will be like yourself, and tell you to-morrow. Wait, Misa St. George, and let mo close it.” ’ This he added because she glanced toward the open window and shivered a little. “No—no. please,” she said, as she in­ tercepted him. "I iike to do it. I could fancy,” she went on. without lowering her voice, ns she stood alone in the nar­ row aperture, "chat I was living here still with grandpa. It is just as quiet as it used to be. No one ever used to coin© to Traveere—after dark." “Not even Dr. Armstrong?" questioned Mark, lightly, wondering why she made it impossible for him to stand beside her at the window nnd look out with her into the darkness. "Come to the fire. Miss St. George; you have grown chilly.” “Yes," she said, turning readily. “If you will lead the way, I will follow." He laughed quite heartily then, as he crossed the room to the hearth; but, when she literally followed him and stood be­ side him there—Mlll’between him and the unshuttered window—a vague, uneasy feeling grew upon him that something must be amis* with her. Could she be suffering from any nervou*. girlish at­ tack, the result of her return to the old scene* of her lonely youth? “Mr. Poynx.” she said, without any hesitation, though she did not know her­ self what word* she was going to uttM-, “will you phase allow me, for just tuft one evening, to fancy myself at home hero again, doing as 1 like, and going where I like^' * And will you do as I ask yon—ju«t this once?"

She hnd spent the night locked into her own little bedroom, and so Shan had not guessed that she was not only awake, but listening iu an an­ guish of fenr, when he came in at dawn. And now, when be camo down, he would see everything just as usual, and his mother pursuing her ordinary tasks. So Rachel thought, while she pursued these tasks ns she had never done before, her eyes hollow and feverish, her step weak and uncertain, and her hands almost use­ less li) their unsteadiness. At the slight­ est sound she started backward, as If she had been struck, every limb trembling. and her breath quick and irregular. And just once she folded her hands high above her head, and her lips moved slowly, though the cry never passed them: I "Not murder! Ob, kind heaven, not murder!" Her morning tasks were all finished, and no traces left of her own oataMed breakfast, when Shan at last came down s.tairk and. without addressing a word of salutation to his mother, sat down mood­ ily in his place at the table. For quite two hoars be waited in the cottage kitchen, the outer door locked, and the shutters closed upon the little show of sweets and toys ia the window; then he extinguished the light and, open­ ing th® door, stood for a few minutes looking out into the darkness. His ejes grow accustomed to it presently, and ti.cn he turned back, and, without any diffi­ culty. took his gun from a corner of the dark kitchen. With it on his shoulder, he stood to lock the door on the outside, njd to deposit the key in its usual hiding place. Then he walked on. keeping to the road, and getting over the ground lut slowly in hi* excessive caution. As nanal, the broken gate at Traveere was half open, aud Corr passed through it easily, without having to remove his gun; but in the rough avenue it was more difficult'to walk straight and steady, and to keep perfect silence. Still, he knew rhe ground well, and made his way direct to the spot where he had hidden himself the night before; and there before him. from the exposed and open window, the light catne lavishly. A large turf fire burned in the grate, and just then the old servant, whom Corr knew so well, was piling more turf upon it. On the table before this fire two wax e«ndle* were burning clearly, and below them—be saw that Mr. Poynx was writ­ lug; for the feather of his pen was plain­ ly to be seen over hh right shoulder, as he sat directly in the line of light, with hl* bead bent busily and bis back to the open window. Ah, this was worth waiting for! W>a not the darkness even deeper on this night than it hud been on th© previous one. and th© light clearer withiUp-and would not his aim t>© far surer and easier?

The bodies of the victim^ were terribly mangled and burned. Five persons employed near the furnace are unaccounted for, rind it is not known whether they hove perished •r not. The damage to the plant will amount to $20,0u0. Th<» explosion oc­ curred in one of the big blast furnaces. ’The men were at work nt the .top of the furnace, over 120 feet from the ground. They were employed as fillers, and were just getting ready to quit work, when the gas, which accumulated in the furnace. »xploded, and tons of ujolten metal. cln: dent and slag were thrown over the un­ fortunate men on the top of the struc­ ture. When tlte gas let go a panic en­ sued on the small platform about tbe top. ' The men made a rush for the elevator. but it had gone down hnd there was no escape. The jump meant death, and to remain on the platform was -just as hope-, less. The masses of molten metal'and flame fell ujlbn them and burned ten men to death. Their bodies dropped to the roof of the mill eighty-five feet below, every bene'broken. ' MAN ROBS BANK OF $7,000. With Revolver a Lone Bandit Force* Employe to Empty the Vault. At noon the other day the bank at Springdale, Ark., was robbed by one man. Only one person was in the bank when the robber drove up to the door in a buggy, got out and walked to the cash­ ier's desk and with a revolver he compell­ ed the assistant cashier to go to the vault and give him all the money, about $7,000. A citizen who entered was forced to throw up his hands. The robber then hurriedly left, dropping $1,000. He jump­ ed into his buggy and drove north. Ortlcers followed and two miles out came in eight of him. The robber jumped from his buggy and escaped in the thick woods. RD3EBERY ON THE WAR.

In two adjoining rooms at a boartling house in East Russell street, Columbus, Ohio, four persons, two young men nnd two youug women, delilx-rately ended their lives. The two couples went to tbe boarding house and secured adjoining rooms, claiming they were married. Two days later the doors to the rooms were forced and the occupants were discovered lying on the beds dead. The keyholes nnd cracks around the doora had been closed with rags and the fume* of chlo­ roform filled the rooms, disclosing the cause of dentil. Lord Rosebery, ex-premier of Great ersi* at Chesterfield. Derbyshire. It was the most remarkaHe political gatherhig seen in England since Gladstone was in the heydey of hi* fame. . Rosebery’s policy, as eunnelated in his speech, may summarized thus: Proeecntic^Mf the war. but. repeal of Lord reiten raff's “proclaniation. Recognition of Kruger and considera­ tion of propown Is for peace offered by Boers. I.lberal amnesty for the Boers; civil Tights to all taking tbe oath. Libi*ral appropriation, for rebuilding Boer home* and restocking farms. Recognition of the war office. • Increased efficiency of the Davy. } A national educational system. Energetic inquiry into commerce anti , industry. . Dissolution of Parliament and a new general election. Lord Rosebery said the ministry should not promise more thyn it could perform. Hewaid the Queen’s speech in 1893 prom­ ised a new statutory parliament fur Ire­ land and tbe disestablishment of state pWurches. That speech was a model to be avoided. He advised the party not to move much faster than the inn** of the nation was prepared to more; otherwise it would find itself isolated. This advice could have been better put by a better authority than himself—namely. Theodore Rou*ivclt. the head of thevreatest democratic community in the world, who said: . “We hope to keep going by slow steps, not.by botmds. .We must keep ■our eyes on the stars, but we must also remenilwr that our feet are on the ground." ' The sjH-aker criticised Chamberlain for his dangerous speeches, which aroused the antagonism of Europe. He said’the government bus also been tactless in all its dealings. Continuing. Lord Roselwry said-the war must be prosecuted, hut the country must give up the "unconditional surrender” policy ami treat with Kruger for peace. He-prote*ted against what he understood to be Lord Milner’s policy— that there should be no formol close of the war, no peace signed, but to hunt the Boers until n few only remained, and then to treat them as bandits. That meant there would be no settlement in South Africa, lie urged the governmont to study Motley, nnd legrn from the struggle of the Netherlnnds’agiiinst King I’hilip. which wa* carried on by the an­ cestors of the Boers. There must be a regular peace, he said, nnd to that cud he' would not be deaf to any overtures from any responsible men among the Boers, especially those sur­ rounding Mr. Kruger. They might r< t>resent an exiled, possibly a discredited gov­ ernment, but it wo* the government which went to war with Great Britain. He would not have the goverumeut offer terms, but it should certainly recognize and consider overtures. He cited the case of President Lincoln, who did not disdain any means <>f com­ munication with those whom-he regarded as rebels, anti also the efforts of Bismarckand Pitt to bring about a formal peace with vanquished foes.

Attempts have been made to destroy these i«wts by 'the cultivation of a r-ont:igiuUH disease, which has been •found to attack the worms. This rem­ edy. however. has not l»een Huccessful and other means must be followed for Its destruction. Hand picking the worm*. alt hough tedious. Is an effec­ tive remedy on nmnll areas.

It Is not nn easy matter for one not having had some years of experience iu poultry raising to feed the laying hens during the winter profitably. Corn cuts too large a figure In the winter food of poultry. It is a valuable food lieyond all question, but It is fed too liberally when •■ggs are wanted. An almost perfect food for laying hens is clover hay. but of course they can not eat enough of this to give them the food quantity needed. The be^t way to feed clover hay Is tn have It chopped fine and then scattered on the floor in small quanti­ ties fur the hens to eat of it as they will. This is better than mixing It with the grain or the soft foods. Of grains if one has a supply of com, wheat and oats with which- to alternate, these with the clover hay, bone meal nnd ani­ mal food once a week will keep tbe hens iu good laying condition. Quanti­ ties aud times and methods of using the several grains are best worked out by the feeder according to the needs of his flock nnd his location. In cold sections more corn will be necessary than in wanner locations. If large quantities of fruit are to be kept there is no-way-equal to'the mod­ ern cold storage process, but this is expemd-ra. Oftentimes, however, one has a few liarrels of fine fruit designed for home use or to keep for a select trade, aud these mny lie kept In good shape by either of the following methods. Only the finest and most perfect speci­ mens are used In either case: Take good barrels, and in the bottom of each pla<re oats an inch deep. Then wrap each apple in newspai>er and pack a layer on the oats, not permitting the apple* to touch. Then put in another layer of oats, and on this a layer of apples, as before. Continue this until the l^arrel is full. The other method la simply to omit the oats and pack the apples in tbe same way. after wrapping each specimen In oiled or waxed pa­ per. In either case the barrebi must be kept in an even temperature, where It is cool but above the freezing point. Hinton Cornhnakin*. of the East, considerable money has Ixvti. made from potatoes this season, one man marketing 2.000 barrels from a little over twenty-two acres at'an aver­ age of $2 n barrel. Such cases are. of course, unusual, and due to- the high prices incident to a short crop. The yield, too. is out of the common and secured by tbe following treatment of the soil: Ar a foundation for the big crop of potatoes n field in sod is select­ ed. heavily manured, plowed urtiler and .planted to corn, which is faithfully cul­ tivated until waist high. The'following spring the ground is plowed deeply, which brings up the rotted sod. which is fined by the -uae of a cutting harrow and drag harrows until It Is Iu shape for tbn peed potatoes. Potato planters are used, the seed being dropped four­ teen inches apart In the row with the rows three feet opart. After ^planting tin- plot is harrowed, and then cultiva­ tion begins and Is kept up thoroughly until the plants meet across the rdw. tbe cultivation being done as close to the row ns isosaible nt each operation. Thorough soil preparation nnd constant and thorough summer cultivation are the secrets of success in potato grow­ ing.— Indianapolis News. icy wind blowing, and.ah hats and wrapt The two trains which collided were tbe regulfir Omaha train'No. 4 and a through freight train coming from Chicago.

Wisconsin Man Chosen for Important Cabinet Position. Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith has resigned from Preaident Roosevelt’s cabinet and Henry C. Payne of Milwaukee, a member of-the Re­ publican national committee, has been appointed his successor. The res­ ignation of Mr. Smith make* tbe first break in the McKinley Cabinet as it was compos­ ed when Mr. Roose­ velt took office. It is said that Mr. Smith contemplated retiring before the death of President McKinley in order that he might resume the editorial man­ agement of his paper, toe Philadelphia Press, but retained the position to work out certain reforms in the second-clas!* mail service. His resignation was due about the time of McKinley’s death, but was then delayed at the urgent request of President Roosevelt. Henry C. Payne, who succeeds to the Postmaster Generalship, ia one of the most prominent nnd influential men in the party councils. He hns long been a personal friend of President Roosevelt, and his selection for the office was made at the instance of tho President alone. As vice-chairman of the Republican na­ tional committee Mr. Payne has exerted considerable influence in party affairs. He was one of the men nr the Republican convention at Philadelphia in 1000 who were sincerely for Roosevelt for Vice­ President. And it la said it was largely through the influence of Mr. Payne that Mr. Roosevelt permitted his name to be voted on.
