It will not be a high school, sinew the, culture element will be «nbonliu«t<- to practical technical train­ ing. Manual training, as this term is new understood, will not be taught, al­ though the excellencies of this branch of gtudy are recognlkod. Instead of n gen­ eral instroctiou in using tool* or design­ ing Chings, the following practical sub­ jects yil! be taught: pattern making, forging, foundry and machine shop prac­ tice. It will not be n trade school, how­ ever. as its activity is not limited to the teachiug of one particular trade, but emBodie* in its curriculum such studies ns will enable a young man not merely to carry on his business,- but will al*o give hto the knowledge necessary for good* cltizeoship and tile culture demanded by the standard of life of the largo middle Chaits. In the technical high school u boy should be able'to fit himself for indus­ trial pursuits aud a girl should receive Instruction in the "home making arts." Instruction should be practical and fruit­ ful of immediate resulta. All the course*, therefore, should lead toward specific em­ ploymeaL ' ' M Heretofore the foreman in the factory, the draftanjan in the architect’s fiffice, the contractor, the stationary engineer, ns well as many others in the ranks of the skilled workmen, received their training during the years of apprenticeship while­ doing practical work as the exigencies of the day demanded. As much as time and strength allowed and ambition prompted they endeavored to pick up such informa­ tion and culture as a course in a night school could give, or as conversation with better educated men or newspaper read­ ing and chance opportunity would afford. At best it was a hard struggle, and due appreciation ot economic, social and pro­ fessional values was often gained by too many sacrifices and the loss of years in unnecessary experimenting. Many a man or a woman perfectly fa­ miliar with the three "R'a" of primary ■educltton never plastered the two "R’s" of secondary education—range and readi­ ness. While high school course* will jive range, which is “the apperception of a large number of farts of different char­ acter," they may fail to impart readiness and mastership in one pursuit or study. This must be acquired by practice “in -apperceiring the same or closely allied facts." On the other hand, a trade school, whose aim it is to develop the Abilities of Its student* in one direction. ■ fail* to give range and perspective ot mental vision. Examining the statistics offered by the different reports of school superintend-^ ■ent* it is interesting to Dote that on an ■•▼^age only one-third or one-fourth of all the pupils enrolled in the grammar grades enter the public high schools or .private institution* iof secondary educa­ tion. On the opening day of the Chicago public schools the enrollment was divided Among the different divisions as follows: High schools, 8.545; grammar schools, •60,000; primary schools, 126,500. Fur­ thermore, the reports of high school sup­ erintendents show that about one-third of all the students Enrolled leave during or at the end of the first year. Of the xemaimng students about one-fifth leave ■during or at the end of the second year, «nd another'fraction at the end of the third year, so that only about one-third of •the original number of students who en­ tered the high schools graduate. Why do so few students enter the high schools? And why do more than one- half* of these students leave the high school during the first two years? Cer­ tainly often for various -reasons not to be attributed to our educational system. .But It cannot be denied that many do not enter, or leave soon after entering/ because the subject matter is not well suited to tbeir need. To auppjy just such subject matter should be the aim of the technical high schoolIt should attract all children who cannot afford to spend four additional years of general study in a high school, and who are yet desirous of continuing the stud­ ies they like arid understand, thus pre­ paring themselves better for practical pursuits. It- should relieve the high school ot students who show no particu­ lar aptitude for theoretical schooling, but who may develop excellent qualities un­ der another regime, the ends and aitns of which are more dearly perceived and ‘better understood both by pupils-and par­ ents.

A fire occurred in St. Joseph’s hospital at Marysville, Mo., g/tting one wing of the building and forcing tbe removal of seventy-five (iktients more or less serious­ ly ill out into the frigid air nnd into the nearby houses. Tbe thermometer regis­ tered 13 degrees below aero at the time, and. though every precaution was taken, it is feared that the excitement and cold will v prove serious to some of the pa­ tients. The fire wns the result of n de­ fective furnace in what is styled the old part of the hospital. The heating appara­ tus was inadequate to the demands of the extremely cold weather, and in trying to force it, a fire of such intensity was made ns to ignite the woodwork around the hot-air pipes in the basement. Mother Augustine is in charge of the institution, and she staged that tho damage would amount to *0,000, fully covered by in­ surance.

But her fingers had grown n little nervous now, aud she pushed her hat from her forehead, as if its light weight oppressed her. "That," arid Nuel. pointedly, “la what your grandfather chose’ that you nnd ev­ ery one else should believe; but that was not the truth. Your father's name, for some reason which the old man best un­ derstood, was kept secret. Possibly it may have l>ecn best to do so; but per­ haps there is justice yet to be done to his memory, and I, who love his child so de­ votedly, will do it. Hush! Don’t thank me,‘darling, till I come to you some day and tell you of your father, bringing you his name, without a stain upon it of dis­ honor or of—crime." “What?" The girl’s cry was sharp and sudden, rfs now, with both hands, she pushed’ her hair from her temples, aud the white fingers clung there as if their hold sus­ tained her. “Yea," said Nuel, "though Col. St George died in the fullest confidence that your father's name would disgrace you, Nora, it was perhaps only because he did not love you enough to trouble him­ self to investigate. That is left "for-me; and to-day, when I heard that at last tbe wealth is yours which you so well de­ serve, I determined that yeur own name should be-yours, too. I determined that I would restore this io niy love, and then I should have no wish unsatisfied; for you would be honored in the world, as well as wealthy and happy.” _ "Perhaps no happier," put in Nora, low and dreamily, as if she uttered the thought unconsciously. “But you must be happier, dear,” said NneL meeting her eyes fully for the first time. "Your grandfather's name, of course, is n good and honest name-;—” “Yea, he always nnid so,” Nora remark­ ed; quietly, in Dr. Armstrong's inexplica­ ble pause. “And you shall bear that till I bring you a still higher. If I cannot find it pure and respected, you must i>e sorry for me, Nora, for I shall feel, even more keenly than you can do, the disappoint­ ment for you. Then I shall lay my own name nt your feet, and you will take It, and no one will ever hear from me a secret which is ours alone.” "Not mine!” cried the girl, passionate­ ly. "No secret that is yours is mine!” "Theu tell the world," rejoined Nuel, icily, "how your grandfather would not let you be known by your father’s name, because he thought it disgraced; but that, as you wish and choose to bear it now, you would drag the poor, forgotten, dis­ carded name even to the light of a crim­ inal court." "That is what—you offered to do.” "What I offer!" cried Nuel, landing to look into he.r face, with a smile, which she did Dot attempt to return. "My darling, you know me better than that, even in tbe moments when you are cold­ est tu me. No; listen a moment, and I will explain what 1 will do for the one 1 love so entirely, and hare loved so lung.

I shall not hurry you. dear; I have never hurried you, be­ cause I frit so sure your grandfather’s wish would be fulfilled, and you would be mine nt last. Not”—his breath grew just (he least bit labored and uncertain here, but Nora did not netice it—“not be­ cause it is impossible for you to marry legally and honorably in the name you bear, but because I shall have given you then llie truest possible test of a man's love.

Could yon your­ self give any lover a more trying one? Acknowledge, Nora, that the man who would do that must love you beyond measure." “Yea,” said Nora, answering absently. “And could you do less for your fath­ er's memory then give yourself to the man who' clears his name from all re­ proach. and gives it to you? Let it be Yes, aud theu see how eagerly I will go to my task." “And if—anyone rise could fulfill it?” interrogated. Nora, her eyes far away, and her voice low and troubled. "I—well, I will stand the chance,” said Dr. Armstrong, with a sudden unaccount­ able buoyancy. “Who rise is likely? Young Foster would blunder snd fall in the first attempt.

Novy of the University of Michigan has discovered a new disinfect­ ant. which, it is asserted, will prevent all intestinal diseases such as Asiatic chol­ era. typhoid fever and dysentery.- “Ben­ zozone" is. the name of the new anti­ septic, which its discoverer and other* who have seen it tested declare will revo­ lutionize the treatment of certain dis­ eases. An absolute intestinal disinfectant and antiseptic is the way the new-found prep­ aration Is described, and its effects upon five students who submitted to seven days’ experimentation have been truly wonderful. The students offered them­ selves as "subjects" upon whom the ex­ periments might be made. After a week of constant analysis, during which they had nothing to eat and only sterilized milk to drink, the announcement Is made unofficially that success attended the trials and a new weapon is given man to combat diseases. Dr. Novy’s “benzozone," ifis asserted, does what the healthy system does. It prevents the bodily poisons from devel­ oping disease. In time of susceptibility to these diseasea it is a substitute for the bodily action and removes the cause of diseases. OPERATION ON ALGER. Extreme Meoaurc* Taken to Relieve the General.

They have nice horses and cattle out west, but they have little ways of their own. For instance, a broken horse out west has points of differ­ ence from a broken horse in the east. Some of the saddle horses caused me most unaffected misery when I had to ride—and it was the same thing with tbe driving horses I used to spend my winters In the east, and when I went back to the ranch I would of course want to hear the latest news about my neigh­ bors—who’d been hanged and the* rest. My foreman had a grievance against a professor from Ann Ar­ bor, who wanted to see the Bed Lands and had hired a team, which ran away, smashing things up and breaking the professor’s arm. He said that the professor had made a remark which made him hot. Ho didn’t mind his saying that he had fallen into a den of sharks—because he knew sharks didn’t have dens, and, besides, he didn’t charge the professor for the use of the team; what made him hot was the remark that he had foisted on the professor a team of runaway horses. “He had no right to call them that," said the foreman. “One horse had only been driven twice, and could hardly be called a confirmed runaway, and the other—well, there were iQts of limes when he hadn't run away.”—Foraa* and Stream.

AH trees should be closely examined early In the fall, when the young lar­ vae or worms. If present, may be de­ tected by tho dlueoloration of the bark, which sometimes bus a flattened and dried appearance. Exuding sap and tho presence of sawdust-like castings give thc clew to their whereabouts. Whenever such indications are seen, the taaects should be dug out with a knife or other slinrp-polnted instru­ ment Those which have bored deeply .

They can also lie destroyed by cutting away the bark at the upper end of the chamber nnd pouring scalding water into the opening so that It wlU soak through the castings. Among the preventive remedies, al­ kaline washes or solutions are probably the most useful. Soft soap made to the consistency of thick paint by the addi­ tion of a strong solution of washing soda in water, is a good formula for application. It should Im? painted over the Imrk, especially about the base of tbe tree* and upward to the main branches.

There are two errors most poultry Bhip]M?ra fall into which have consider­ able bearing on the results obtained. One is the use of improper crates, and the other, crowding of the fowls in the crates. In the first case, sometimes thc crates used nre too heavy and some­ times too light. The lasf error is made usually by poultrymen who have been In thtThabit of shipping more or less breeding stock and who use light crates to save transportation charges over long distances. The heavy crates are generally used by farmers and are made of any loose material they happen to .have -on the farm. The crates should always be a^ light ns it is possible, and still have it strong enough to bear rough handling, and each fowl In It should have n space equal to.that re­ quired tor It to turn around in com­ fort. If this sort of packing Is done the fowls will reach the market in good condition, nnd there will lx? none smothered, as Is usually the case when too many are packed in a crate. Don’t ship the culls nnd half-starved fowls to the city market, but-eend-only the plump birds and those In good physical condition. If you would get tbe highest price*. . Winter Protection of Bee Hive*. After the Ihm-s have stopped their fall flying tbe hives should be set in a row. facing .south, with about six inches of •pace between the hives. Drive a few ■takes between and in front of tbe hives at an angle of about forty-live degrees, so that when boards are plac­ ed across them the lower edges uf the boards will rest against the hives just above the entrance. Then pack leaves over-'the hives and between them, doing tbe work thoroughly; tbe board will prevent the packing material from clos­ ing the entrance. Cover the leaves with straw to a considerable depth. Dig a trench along thc back of tbe hives, forming a ridge against the hives that will shed water and keep It from 'getting in at tbe bottom 0} the hives. This Is a very simple plan, yet gives ample protection, while, by using the board In front, the opening of the hive receives all the sutflight there may lx? during the winter. Should tho winter be unusually severe, more straw may be added from time to time during the winder to obtain tbe needed warmth.

At the time of the collision all the passengera weto' asitwp and the only people on deck were the luemiters of the Port watch, iu'eainmnml of the second officer.

T<» avoid this Captain Hall ordered the . port boilers blown out and the noise of the escaping steam added to the confusion and dis­ tress among the passengers, many of whom were women. Finally seeing that to remain on the vessel endangered the lives of the person* on board the captain ordered the’men to take to the tionts, and all who were nut killed by the collision were safely got out. with the exception of the captain himself, who went down with the vessel.

Eight out of every ten of such pastures could be turned into fer­ tile fields by proper handling. One ex­ cellent plan for doing this is to break up this pasture, manuring it as heavily as one can afford,' and plant to corn.

I gave the medicine as directed every ten minutes until be "threw up” and then I thought sure he was going to choke to death. We had to pull the phlegm out of his mouth in great long strings. I am posi­ tive that If I bad not got that bottle of cough medicine, my boy would not be on earth today.—Joel Dxmoxt, Inwood. Iowa. For sale by Central drug store. WEST KALAMO.

Only letters were allowed to pass after such rigid disinfection that little of them was left. All persons belonging to the papal states who found themselves In suspected districts were forbidden, also on pain of death, to return, while death was likewise the punishment for those who, coming Into a city, did not present themselves at a certain office. Also hotel or Inn keepers. heads of convents, etc., who received any one not having the papal guarantee and who dld not declare the names of their guests, ran the risk of five years' imprisonment All this be­ fore there was one case in the papal states.

A new and wonderful natural cave. Itelieved to be one of the largest known, has been discovered in the canon of the Jefferson, on-tbe line of the Northern Pacific railway, about fifty miles east of Butte. Montano. An exploration party from Butte spent several days In tbe cave, going over an area of ten miles and to a depth of nearly i.onp feet. A large rrter with a cataract of about 100 feet was explored for a dis­ tance of several mile* without dis­ covering it* source or outlet. A few articles of stone and copper utensils aud some bones, bettered to be hu­ man Ikujcs, were also found In one of tbe large apartments of the care. There were other evidences that at Mme time in a prelihrtorlc jx-riod the cave was inhabited. It ia believed that an earthquake closed the entrance to the cave and killed Its inbabttantx. The formation of stalactite and other natural decor­ ations throughout tbe cave are most beautiful. Not What He Meant at AIL Polltvnes*.

It had been expected that Mayor l orry would deliver tbe address of welcome, but in his abaence the visitors were wry cordially welcomed by Ben M.

He aMured the teachers that the city ix delighted to greet th^k pleased to‘ entertain them, will l>e glad to have them come again and that anything they want while here wlllj* cheerfully found for them. President O. D. Thompson of Romeo responded very nicely and the convention then settled down to business. It was a masterly address which was delivered by Wilbur IL Gordy of Hart­ ford, Conn., principal of the State Nor­ mal Schoo! there, at the opening session. “Methods in History" was bis jopic. and he showed such thorough knowledge of the theme that the large audience which turned out nt the auditorium was held interested for over an hour. Mr. Gordy was at a disadvantage on account of a severe cold which hurt his voice. At the close of the address, the heart­ iest greetings were given Mr. Gordy. His subject was immediately taken up for discussion with Principal Webster Cook of Saginaw leading. This finished the afternoon and the convention adjourned early. Booker T. Washington, who is superin­ tendent of the Tuskegee Institute in Ala­ bama, lectured Thursday evening in the auditorium to a crowded house. Hi* sub­ ject was “Education ot the Negro,” and during his lecture said. “Not the lea« important part of the work of tbe grad­ uates of the Tuskegee Institute and oth­ er similar institutions is by common sense, hard work and self-sacrifice to cul­ tivate in every manly, straightforward manner friendly relations with the white people, especially with a view ot let­ ting the white people see that an edu­ cated. skilled and moral negro man or woman is of more value than one with­ out these elements of strength. Tbe fu­ ture of tbe negro race is very largely within its own bands. No race of peo­ ple, who. by their actions, continually contribute something, materially, or mor­ ally. or spiritually, towards the welfare of the communities in which they live will l>e long left without encouragement. It is tbe outlet, earnest, persistent, unos­ tentatious effort to do good that is going to tell. I repeat that nothing can be gained by stirring up strife between races or between one section of the country and the other. Race hatred, whether indulg­ ed in by * black man or a white nfan, is degrading and hurtful. Broad, deep, gen­ erous Interest in the elevation of all race* is derating and 'helpfut The time and place to test theXtrue gentleman 1* to note his conduct, not when he is in con­ tact with those who are in his own sta­ tion of wealth and culture, but to n<Xe his bearing when he touches those who are beneath him in these respect*.

Effects of Freezing Seed*. ' Prof. A. D. Selby of the Ohio station has tested the effects of extreme cold upon certain seeds, including corn, wheat, rye, flax, sunflower, castor bean, cucumber, mimosa, yellow lupine, sain foin and pine. They were taken right from the temperature of the room and immersed in liquid air. for six, twelve, twenty-four and forty-eight hours for each lot. Tlie liquid air rep­ resents a temperature equal to 310 de­ grees below zero, certainly an extreme test, for it is not often that the cold­ est portion of the United States reaches much more than 50 degrees below zero. The seeds were germinated by the side of lot* not subjected to treatment, and there was no essential difference in the proportion that germinated. The corn was not of high grade, aud the starchy portion cracked badly, but the germ did not seem to. Ims affected. The ex­ treme cold seemed to be favorable rath­ er than otherwise to the flax anil rye. ■Of course the seeds were properly dried, that Is air dry. before lining sub­ jected to the test, but with this precau­ tion the farmer need not fear Injury to seeds from freezing weather. If the castor bean, native of a tropical ellmate, could endure such cold, our gar­ den beans and pefls-should do ko. and (we sec no good reason why squash, pumpkin and melon seed should not en­ dure cold as well as cucumbers, or clover, cabbage, turnip and others of the same size as well as lupine and ^axseed.—American Cultivator.

It has been learned; that -Hrdlicka was an agent fur the Singer Sewing Machine Company au.l that he was behind In his accouutx. which has in­ duced the theory of suicide. On the oth­ er hand, it is found that Mrs. Hrdlicka has been married three time's. From the first husband, who Is living In Chicago, she was divorced. Her xeconfl husband died suddenly. In th«j same week her mother and infant ilnnghl-er expired. She was sent immediately afterward to the ^jgin insane asylum, where she remain,eu but a few months, when she married Ker third husband. Another chapter was added to the ease when it was learned that the deeeased held a policy ia the Prudential Insurance Company for $T,500i. After a careful investigation by Sheriff Frederick D.

The announcement Is made in South­ port, Conn., of the marriage of Mira Ada White of Battle Creek to Frederick L. Jennings. Jennings is manager of a gen­ eral store in Southport. Last June he opened n case of goods which came from Battle Creek and found hi {t a letter ad­ dressed to the “person who opens this case." Miss White was the author of It and she jokingly described the kind of a young man she would like to 'correspond with. While Jennings did not come up to all the requirements, he liked the tone of the letter and replied to it. About ten days ago Jennings got a vacation and came West. He and Miss White, were married. Claim un Eighty Million Estate. Freeman nnd Finley Cronk of Dowa­ giac are said to lx- heirs to nn estate in Holland valued at $80,000,000. About two years ago an attempt was made to effect an org-juixaiiiin to prove the claim, but the heirs did not meet with much en­ couragement. Now an impetus to the movement is given by the fact that the bride of Senator Chauncey Depew is one of the heirs. It is hoped by suuh- of tbe other heirs that she will enlist the ser­ vices of her distinguished husband to work through the United States aad Hol­ land consuls to secure the money.

She railed a little, not quite under­ standing it all. A crowd of people were passing to and fro; a crowd of Instru­ ments were rushing through an overture; She was standing still, waiting to under­ stand; while Mark waa locking at her, with a great sorrow in his eyes and— something more. “Hop* will soon bring me back when I "Yon understand me. don’t you?

And then she stopped; for a little girl • who had been running before them trip­ ped and fell,,and Nora gently raised her to her feet and kissed her, while the child . looked wonderm giy into, the white, sad ' face. . “My thoughts will- be with you ever, Nora.

How the music changes, doesn’t It? I forgot that this overture was so sad now and then." "Good-by,” he said again, wondering at her tone as he unwillingly released her hand. "Good-by, my best beloved.” When they rejoined their party, they found, to their great surprise, that Nuel Armstrong was with them; but there was no time for any explanation from him. Mark hurriedly told of his telegram, and the arrangements his servant had made, end then prepared for his own departure. He kept Nora at his side now, openly and resolutely. He seemed to see no ona else. It might have been that the place held no one, to his knowledge, bat the girl who walked by his side, trying so hard to maintain her old gay nnd debonair spirit. And, though the others looked so regretfully at Mark. Nuel Armstrong seemed to watch only her. “Oh, Nora,” Mark whispered, as they went down^the terrace steps, “if it could but all melt away, and leave us two alone! I long to say what ia in my heart to­ night, and cannot—here." “If you intend to catch the mail at Charing Groan I advise you not to miss any train from here," observed Dr. Arm­ strong. . “Graham will see you.all safely home,” said Mark. And then he had driven off. his gaze to the last riveted ou Nora's face. “Whenever you like to go home. Miss St. George,” said Captain Graham, won­ dering at the rapt expression in her face, as she stood listening to the distant bells —the beautiful, slight figure drawn to Ils full height—“tell me, and we will start.” . "You will like to go now, Nora," Will Foster said; and she started at the chang­ ed tone. “I see that you will, dear,” he added, trying to speak more easily; for his eyes had been suddenly opened now, as they had never been while every one had gently tried to open them for him. "Not bntil Celia wishes It—unless’Mrs. Pennington does," began Nora; but Nuel Armstrong’s clear, raised tones interrupt­ ed her. “Excuse me, Foster, but I have some­ thing to say to my cousin." "Please say it here," entreated Nora, shrinking from him as Will. courteously “You would soon be aorry if I did—and angry, too,” rejoined Noel, offering her his arm. “It is not for the world to Without taking his arm. she walked with him until he stopped in a quiet cor­ ner of an outer gallery, from which the world looked very still and wide and calm that August evening, while the church bells rang softly still, far away as it seemed.

Quietly and ’ unparcelved she" had left the bouse, because Celia had happened to mention that Miss Giffard expected Lord Keaton; and she would stay here in the shadow and. solitude until she could feci sure that ho must have left the cottage again. Never, if she could possibly help it, did she venture to meet Mark, know­ ing how her own courage wavered in the presence of his, and how hard it was to feel they were really to live their lives apart, while he, with such quiet deter­ mination, acted as if It need not be so. "Just ns if," Nora whispered to herselffi "that end truth were not truth; and as if I had not promised so solemnly. Yet he himself has said I shall not break that row. and he would never tell me a false-hood, even-----’’ A step upon the gravel, far behind her. snapped the thought like the snapping of a thread; and there came into the girl’s eyes a strange, mute yearning which was new to them, and inexpressibly pathetic.' "Have you heud Miss Giffard's last decision, Nora?” Mark asked, coming up .to her just as if she had been expecting him. “She has decided not to go to Brighton yet—herself, I mean," he added, quickly, because, watching her so anx­ iously, ho had seen the shadow of a great disappoitment fall on her face. “I do not .mean that she has delayed the departure for all of you, Nora, darling; only for henelf. She would not have done even that," he went on. speaking heavily a Jithad feared—that she longed to avoid him, and to leave the spot where he could see her so often, nnd where his home lay, "only that sha feels her presence necessary here—for a time.

"No," he answered, gently. “I wish I might, though. Yes. I wish it, in spite of you, dearest. Do you drcam for a moment that I should be stayed by your ■coldness or caprice? Ah, my beloved, you little know me if you imagine it! The strength of my love could not be turned aside by such a trifle---- What? a real smile at.last! How precious they arc to me, now that they come so sel­ dom!" A little pause, while Nora stood very still, the faint color coming and going on her delicate face, as she suppressed her pain, as well as her love. "No. sweetest, I am not going to stay in Brighton," Mark repeated, breaking the silence at last, in a tone which told nothing of the strong will resigned; ‘Tor I have business which must take me away for a Little time. It will be very hard to leave you there, Nora; but I come that I may hasten our reunion; and I leave you with old friends who love you, and In a spot where you will win back the old bright health and girlish spirits." “I am quite well now," said Nora, wist­ fully. “Quite well, though I am not like what I used to be; I can see that in the face of everyone who looks at me. It is not because I am—ill now. It is 1 am older—and ” "So much older, Nora, darling." said Mark, with an involuntary movement, as if he must take her in his arms to com­ fort her, but refraining instantly, "that you ought to be wiser. But never mind; probably wisdom wll! come with the gray hair. Now I must go on to meet Doyle in Guildford.” “Is Mr. Doyle here again?" questioned Nora, with die same mixture of shrink­ ing and longing with which she thought, or spoke, of all the friends of her old life. "Yea, dearest, Doyle is rather busy In this neighborhood just now. I believe he would tell you he had a 'case' here. He laughs heartily at being sent for to help our London solicitors.

No, I will not hurry you so, Nora. I will go with you to Brighton to-morrow; and you will be stronger presently, and we can pursue our journey. Ah! Nora, to think what rap­ ture that meeting will be for your wrong­ ed and ill-used father! So well I know your heart yearns to him—the parent who has so unjustly all his life been deprived of his daughter’s love and compassion." "Dr. Armstrong.” said Nora, calmed by her very fear of him, as thns he tempted her through, her keen scuse of duty, "I would folloW my—my father anywhere, it you would put it into my power to d# ‘so. But even though you profess to pity him. you will not help me to go.” “Nora," he cried, passionately, inter­ rupting her, "I am here for no other pur­ pose. I hare traveled and toiled and waited for that end alone—to secure his safely, and to unite you. I have paved the way perfectly now, and I hove only one task left, to leave my darling in her father’s care." “If you will tel! me where he is and let me go to him, I shall be grateful to you all my life," she said, earnestly. “Mr. Pennington will take me." "I shall take you myself," said Nnd. with a sudden hard determination in hla voice. "I shall come to Brighton with you to-morrow—why not? The Penning­ tons are old friends of mine, and the Fosters will be glad enough to welcome me. Then we will arrange it all at our ease. I could not help giving my time and strength and thought ;o you, because my heart was yours; you nee that, Nora7' He asked the question suddenly, for even in his selfish vehemence he was shocked a little by her stillness and her pallor. “I only see your cruelty," she answer­ ed, very low. “Let me go to my father without these hard conditions, and I will go to the world’s end. It you will not, I —win not go." “You will not go!" he cried, his voice harsh and quick, nnd cruel, as he had never allowed her to hear It before. "You win not go, yon say? You will not go with me, after all these years of seeking aiid wooing you? You are to escape me at last, and choose another? No, that shall never be while I live! I have borne enough, and done enough, for you now, and I claim my reward. I demand it, Nora! I am no boy, to be trifled with at your pleasure. Mine is no new love, to be set aside carelessly for any other man’s. You shall feel that, Nora.’ You shall realise that a man who. Ln his mid­ dle age, has set his heart upon you, is not to be lightly rejected for one who—who would scorn you and insult you if he knew you as I know yon; while I—love ami seek you through all. But I swear he shall know all the degrading truth----- ” “Oh! let him know!" she cried, in her longing for help and guidance. "Oh, Jet him know, and end this terrible secret!" “He shall know; but not until I have taken you from his derision.” “Miss Su George, you are lingering here too Jong. Come into the house with me. will you? I found I had forgotten rather an’ important message from Miss Giffard, so I had to turn back."

Th© debate was of unusual interest and cantered largely on the new phase of the question due to the offer of the Panama company to sell Its property to the United States for >40.-, 000,000. Mr. Cannon of Illinois and Mr. Reeves of the same State, one chsirman of the committee on appropriations and the other a member of the committee on rivers and harbors, asked Mr. Hepburn a number of leading questions. Mr. Cannon wanted to know why the choice of a route should not be left to the President in view of the changed aspects of the Pan­ ama situation. Mr. Hepburn replied that the Panama route was wholly out of the question ao far as Congress was concern­ ed in the selection of a route for the canal. Mr. Morrla ot Minnesota gave notice' that at the proper time he would offer an amendment to authorize the President, if he could procure the property and rights of the Panama company for >40.000,000. If concessions could be procured from Colombia and if the Walker commission so recommended, to purchase and proceed to complete the Panama canal On Wednesday the isthmian canal bill was before the House for debate. All the principal speakers recognized the ad­ vantage of the Panama rout© aad an­ nounced themselves In favor of it. So strong had sentiment grown in favor of the Panama route that the most ad­ vanced advocates of its selection were talking of forcing a square issuy between it and the Nicaragua route.

Figure* of bank clearings and railroad earning* for the first periods are being awaited with intense interest. What they may show in comparison with last year will ‘be regarded as an index of the coming year’s volume‘of "business. The need for more railroad cars is crit­ icaL’ With lake navigation closed for some time the freight formerly transport­ ed by water is added to the already over­ taxed steam roads. In no active industry does this condition hamper so much as in the iron trade. When the number of blast- furnace* closed is greater than th* number open, aa it appears to be, aimply from a lack of coke, which the rail­ roads cannot move because of car abort­ age, there manifested a graphic bat unhappy incident of prosperity. This situation provokes spirited criticism ' of the. railroad management by manufac­ turers. Officials of roads claim they are using every resource to handle the traf­ fic and arc permitting the use of freight car* which under less extraordinary cir­ cumstance* would be sent to repair shops. Good as the demand for steel is, the dom­ inant company iu this industry adhere* to its policy of not -raising prices. The dullness usual at this season in iron and steel is evidently to be postponed for some weeks. Lak*- copper has been cut again, th* present price being 12ft cents a pound. From the quoted prices before copper conditions became a problem this Is a drop of 4% cents.

The repeated reductions have schooled consumers in buying from “hand to mouth.” ' The inquiries for real e>CDiCdQO. utc in ^hica$o point to an a improvement during the year. Especially is thia interest mani­ fest in downtown property, the future of which is assured. There are certain questions of taxation which have not been settled yet, nnd the purchaser of real estate does not know yet precisely what burdens he may have to carry. Nev­ ertheless. so vast is the volume of money seeking investment that the real estate market surely will , absorb * goodly por­ tion of it. There are no Indications that building activity will decreas? during the year. Plan* for the construction of more “skyscrapere’’ have t»een adopted or are being discussed seriously. The long sus­ pension of building operation* prior to last year gives an assurance that building will not be'overdone for some time to come. Therefore the men in the building trades can be easy in mind as to the im­ mediate future. A* regards cereals, there were few no­ table changes in price* during the week.

They were good income producers, but Mr. Low thought he might be called upon to pass upon applications for franchises and it cannot be claimed* with any de­ gree of truth that the services rendered are always commensurate with the com­ pensation given." The excessive cost of receiverships of public or semi-public institutions is illus­ trated by the fact that the total expenses involved in the liquidation of the affairs of seventy corporations during the peat ten years have been $1,006,223.84.

The Peru Marquette Railway Corapauy'a steamer No. 8 struck the bar at the mouth of the harbor ate Ludington, Mich., white attempting to cater in a high southwest gate and was scuttled in nine feet of water. The nine passengers and the crew of tbtety-5ve were taken off the wrecked craft by the life-saving crow with their breeches buoy apparatus. The accident occurred before daylight. Passengers and crew were rudely awakcned by the succession of shocks as' the steamer pounded on the bar. Signals of distress were immediately blown and the life-saving crew quickly responded. Run­ ning their mortar out on the pier the life­ savers sent a line to the wrock. A heavier rope was then hauled aboard, nnd when day broke there tvas a line 200 feet long stretched from the pier to tho No. 3 and the breeches buoy apparatus was ready for use. Over this “line .nine passengers, four of whom 4-ere women, and the crew of thirty were safely taken in the breeches buoy in two hours. It was a thrilling rescue. As the people were d-.awu along the rope the great waves Irokc over then}, and all were drenched oy the icy water when they arrived on the pier. The boat was loaded with 25,­ 000 bushels of barley and 200 tons of merchandise. REMORSE DROVE HIM INSANE, Bn «In cm Man of Elkhart, Ind., Tells of Killing a Man in 1875. James Mather, one of the leading busi­ ness men of Elkhart, Ind., now a patient In the State insane-’asylum at Logans­ port, has confessed to a murder he says he committed in 1875 at Muskegon, Mich.

He says Olson attacked him with a knife, and that he shot Olson three times, kill­ ing him. He left ghe body in the woods, where.it remained undisturbed until the next spring. A' coroner's jury returned a verdict of sfiicide. Mather kept his secret for years, but he says the specta­ cle of the murder never left him. ’ CASH IKK'GONE BANK FAILS.

SAYS HE BLEW UP THE MAINE. Spanish Officer Did It to Cause War and Revenge Himself on Weyler. A remarkable story is published in an Omaha paper regarding the blowing up sf the battleship Maice. The report says that information has come from tbe Pine Ridge agency that a Spaniard on a ranch had confessed white drunk to blowing np the ship, saying that he did so in the hope ef causing war between the United State* and Spain. The tale goes on to the ef­ fect that the Spaniard was once an offi­ cer in the Spanish army in Cuba, and that during Weyler’* campaign he became an­ gered at the brutal treatment accorded prisoners, and said so. Weyler at ouce ordered him under arrest. The Spaniard’s name is said to' be Manuel de Silva Braga. He was discharged from the army after a court martial. The blowing up of the Maine was done to get even with Weyler. Braga knew all about the har­ bor and was familiar with explosives. His first idea was to blow up a Spanish ship, but finally decided upon the Maine as the best calculated to get Weyler out of power. Dressed in his army uniform he had no trouble in passing .the guards in the fortification, aud with his own hand touched the button that destroy­ ed the Maine. Instantly he changed his clothes and escaped on a schooner os a ’sailor. _______ DEFEAT FOR STEEL COMBINE. Supreme Court Wrest* a Rich Land Claim from the Trust. A decision was handed down by the United States Supreme Court at Mil­ waukee in the famous section 30 land cases in favor of Margaretha Lonstorf, Frank W. Eaton and LeoMdas Merritt. The decision affirmed the opinion of tho Supreme Court of Minnesota and is a complete victory over the Midway com­ pany nnd the United States Steel Cor­ poration. By the decision title is given to 320 acres of land on the Vermillion iron range. Minnesota, and is so .valuable that the United States Steel Corporation, it is said, is ready to pay $8,000,000 to the victor in the long struggle for owner। ship. *■ HEADLESS BODIES FOUND. Evidence of MurdersCome* to Shore on Puget Sound Island*. People of Whidby Island are in a state of excitement over the finding of another headless body on the beach near Fort Casey. Wash. Recently a-body was found with the head and hands ent off and the clothing removed, nnd later an­ other body was found, with the head sev­ ered. As no residents of the island arc missing, the mystery Increases and the authorities arc of the opinion that mur­ ders have been committed at a point up the sound, that the heads have been severed to prevent identification and the bodies cast into the water. A fact which increases the mystery is that the same man found both headless bodies. Clerk Killed by a Robber.

The scene ot this struggle was the Church of the Holy Sepulcher at Jerusalem, wnich is built on the site of the supposed tomb Vf Christ, and the combatants were mem­ bers of the Greek nnd Lafio churches. The immediate cause of the trouble was an attempt by lhe Latins to sweep the “quadrangle," or court, around the church itself.

Considering the slow time in the two terminal cities, the slow-downs for five railway crossing*, the run was a remarkable one and is tbe fastest ever made between the two cities.

George Dixon, the one© great* little colored boxer, who ha* been engaged in any number of battle* of minor impor­ tance lately, will retire-from the ring for a while and take a much-needed rest. Tommy White, the cleverest feather­ weight boxer Chicago ever produced, has retired from the ring. For thirteen long years White maintained a standing in the professional ranks as one of the best men of his weight in the country. The shutting down on boxing by the au­ thorities in Denver rather upsets Young Oorbett's plan to pull 9ft hia next battle for die featherweight championship in that city and also hits back at the Colo­ rado Athletic Club, which expected to reap big profit from Corbett’s promi­ nence as a pugilist.

' Near the pier-head, where the gloom, so subtly creeping from tbe uuitejr seem­ ed tp pause, as if the light and gaycty be­ yond had stayed it on its way inland, two little groups had met and joined, while many pairs of idle eyes rested upon them. Leaning back on her sent, facing the people, nof the sen, Genevieve Foster sat,-with a novel in her hands; but her eyes1, though fixed upon its pages, bad a sullen, expression in them for which the novel could not be to blame.

Will’s eyes went a little further still, to where Nora stood very still against the outer edge of the pier, looking out across the dusky sea with lovely, dreaming eyes. He saw that others watched her. too, and he smiled a little, knowing how unconscious she was ot any admiring glances; but the smile was very short-lived, aud swift­ ly his gaze grew anxious again, and re­ turned to his sister's face. .“Y'ou don't help me at all, Genn,” he fretted.

Will, answered, angrily. "No wonder I dread your telling mother, if that is how you look at it.” ’ "Then how do you look at it?" *he asked, in ft scoffing tone; but her face grew a trifle paler as she kpoke. "How du 1 look at it?" echoed Will, in­ dignantly. "Why, ns anyone who has n grain of feeling in him, or of honor, must look at it. She. knew right from wrong, qnd truth from falsehood. If she didn’t at first know a gentleman from a sneak, she must now have known one from an unbeliever and a liar. Aud it she did not know how to act as a lady, she might at any rate have behaved with ordinary womanly reserve. To think that my fatber't daughter should have joined that villain and married him, knowing what she must hare known!” “If it has been in unwise step," 'ob­ served Miss Foster, icily, “she will suf­ fer, not you." “I declare,” said Will, hia ^bdued voice full of rage, “I'm tempted to think leave it to me to tell my mother this mis­ erable news!

"If you considered that you need­ ed help In disclosing the fact of your sister’s marriage to Dr. Armstrong, you must have been rather weak or out of sorts.

But to do as she bas done; to let him ahow himself as the liar he is. to ac­ cept the burned-out ashes of bls regard; to fly at his call; to marry him in secret, and voluntarily share his shameful and degraded reputation! Genevieve, how can yob know it all, and yea be so un­ moved?" “I see it a little differently," she an­ swered. with slow distinctness. “Tory had aUowed Dr. Armstrong to win her affection, even while, perhaps, he was tempted to pay court to Nora St. George’a fertuoe.

Mrs. Elston was not at home, having come to the village in the forenoon. She was sent for al once, and Dr. R. P. Comfort was also summoned to .the scene. An examination was made by him, assisted by Dr, Smith, of Assyria, which revealed that the cause of death was a heart clot. A coroner’s jury was impanel­ led by Justice A. D/Wolf, and a ver­ dict rendered in accordance with the finding of the physicians. Mr. Elston had a purse containing about 180 on his person at the time of his death, and a search made during the afternoon failed to reveal its whereabouts. It was quite a mystery, and those who were on the scene became quite worked up about It, but it was found after dark, near the barn door, where it could hardly have failed to be seen by those.present during the afternoon. It is still a question whether it was there all ot the time, or whether some one threw it there after finding that it was missed.

It had only taken two or three seconds, and before she could i reach the bed Miss Kate had put down. ’ the empty vial and retakes her place be­ side the bed.

You will not understand that quite yet, 1 dare aay. I need not. tell you what Arthur hnd thought, poor fellow, all this time. Perhaps Miss Giffard ia right, and hi* really must hove suspected her, even against his will. It is hard, indeed, to think how else he could have accounted for the act; but he has not told me. When we reached London we found that Dr. Armstrong had laid his plans, too. for our return, and we had not been an hour in England before Arthur- was nrretted. My dearest, turn your pitiful eyes away for a few minutes. This 'part of the story I hate to tell you. Armstrong’s evidence was rejected as worthless. Then the old ayah made her confession in a clear, straightforward way, which made it doubly convincing; aud Miss Giffard herself did the rest. No need to tell you all that passed, or hnd to be looked into. But Arthur left the court u free men. acknowledged innocent of that old crime whose.shadow hail so long rested on his life; and gratefully and hopefully he brought Miss Giffard back to her peace­ ful little cottage to rest. For it had been a trying time for her, Nora; and for that it was that she stayed from Brighton when you went." "And I," said Nora, wonderingly and sadly, "fancied It was because she wns so tired of me, after the great trouble I had given her for so long.” "You should never fancy," observed Mark;.but he lowered bis ryes for a mo­ ment. "Nora, take your thoughts back again for a few minutes to that nigh: so long ago, for I wnnj to make It all clear to you! That balloon I spoke of was made, as I thought, by Arthur himself in this very room. The plan of escape, by Its means was his own, but it could not be done without help, and Miss Gif­ fard helped him and kept his secret; 1 need scarcely tell you how it was man­ aged, been UM- it will grow so clear to you presently.

Then from the roof of tbe boat house he entered the balloon, throwing his conf into the lake, and Miss Giffard turned tbe wheel another way now, and gradually brought the little bal­ loon to the turret roof. The rest wns very soon done, just as I used to see it all. The balloon wap wanted no more, ami so wns destroyed; food and n dis.guise were soon procured, and after a time, when all suspicion was dead, he es­ caped from the old house and left Eng­ land in safety. But he had a far greater trouble than poverty, and—I have that to tell you, too, Nora." (To be continued.)

A few days later the same man ap­ peared with precisely tbe same tale. "You wore here a few days ago. and we advised you to go to the water com­ pany. Did you do so?" "I did, yer honors " “And what did they say to you?" "They told me to kape ducks!"—LondcfuTit-Blta He Had His Reasons.

Tbe United States cruiser Philadelphia' was in the harbor and witnessed the en­ gagement. Sailors from the Philadelphia, after the battle, went on board the Lautaro to help fight the fire which had been starred by the insurgent shells, but they were unsuccessful. The attack was almost n romplete’sur­ prise to the government. The insurgent fleet was composed of the steamers Pa­ dilla. Darien and Gaitan. The govern­ ment ships were the Chilian line steamer Lautaro, the Pacific Steam Navigation CompanyS steamer Chicuito and the Panama Cabal Company’s steamer Boyacn. 'Hie first-named steamer was seiz­ ed by Gen. Alban nnd tbe other two have been chartered by the Colombian gov­ ernment. All three of the government •tcamers .had been armed with ns many guns as Gen. Alban Could secure. He hod taken a large force on board the Lautaro and Chicuito, intending to sail to attack the insurgents. The principal insurgent attack was made by the Padilla. It entered the bay and succeeded in getting to close quar­ ters with the T.anjaro. The Padillo op­ ened a fierce fire, to which the Lnutaro made n brief response. Gen.

Civil Governor of tbe Philippine* 8oya Kcbellion la About Ended. W. H. Tnft, civil governor of the Phil­ ippine Islands, who arrived nt Sun Francisoo on the transport Grant, is quite ill, the Philippine climate and the nr’nous duties he linn performed having : I nn his constitution. Gov.' Taft b.;>- :hewar is confined to the two provjn.e*. Batnngns and Samar, and the operations in Batangns occasionally range into the neighboring provinces of Taynbns and Laguna. Gov. Taft says Gen. Wheatofl is doing i splendid work in the islands cn 1 that offl• c<-r assured blm »!: irtly before he sailed [ that the natives of the province pt Batangos nnd its vicinity would nil be pacifi«l before the dose of next March. The provinces of Cebu nud Bohol, until re­ cently disturbed by insurgent optralions, have setthxl down, the fighting men having all surrendered. Tbe Filipinos are very anxious to secure ti legislature ns a step toward the permanent establish­ ment of a civil government. The present civil government has been working with great zeal nnd has far exceeded expec­ tations, the governor says. Tbe Chief difficulty at present is the lack of police protection in the provinces. , Small bands of robbers still infest the back districts. They terrorize tbe na­ tives nnd until the strong arm of the law is able to suppress them absolute p*nce in tho islands will not be obtained. The native Filip|no police have proved a suc­ cess. ’ They were appoiuted by .the civil M\»st persons are unaware that tho portrait ou the new $10 bill, known as the "buffalo bill" because of tbe rampant figure of a bison in the center of It, is that of a man who committed suicide.

VIEW OF A SECTION OF PANAMA HARBOR. crew, disheartened at the suddenness nnd fierceness of the Padilla’s attack, desert­ ed tbe ship as soon ns it was discov­ ered to be on fire. The government steamer Chicuito at once opened fire on the Padilla, and was, in turn, attacked by the Darien aud Gaitnn. The (^hicuito was not seriously injured, but seems to have inflicted seri­ ous damage on the Darien. The Padilla, too. was compelled to retire to s safer distance as a result of the tire of tho Chicuito. The guns at Las Vovedas also opened tire on the rebel ships, tbe range, howe*vcr, being too gre*t to render the shells dangerous. When the firing finally ceas­ ed tbe revolutionary steamer Darien ap­ proached the Philadelphia. The captain of the Darien was told by Captaiu Mead of the Philadelphia that the in­ surgent fleet would not be permitted to bombard tbe city of Panama or to land troops at the docks. 'The body of Gen. Alban was taken off the Lautaro as soon as possible. Bailors from the United States cruiser Philadel­ phia assisting. The dead and woufided were mIbo n-iuove<|. The fire, however, could not lie extinguished aud the Lautaro sank in tbe harbor. Goh. Alban’s death Is deeply deplored. He was loved -by hia ■okliers and enjoy­ ed the esteem of the community. It ia a.vserted that the death of the Colombian leader may have the effect of bringing to tbe government Bide large numbers of men anxious to avenge hia Ion.

M’CALLA TO BUILD CLUBHOUSE DIG PATH TO LIBERTY. Dc»,>crute Criminal" Eecnpc from Prioon on McNeil** laland. Eleven of the most desperate prisonera in the United States penitentiary on McNeil’s Island, Wash., escaped Sunday afternoon. It wns the most daring and successful jail breaking ever attempted in the State. A hole iu the brick wall of cell No. 10, which wns Occupied by Convids Snyder and Davis, revealed the meena of escape. The wall is about a foot thick, aud the floor of the cell is of the same thickness, and is covered with concrete. A tuunel was dug at the junc­ tion of the wall and the floor, sloping out­ wardly, until it formed a connection with the air chamber about two feet below and a foot from the corridor wail of the cel). Through this air chamber the prisoners crawled forty feet to wWre it opened into the holier room, the opening being covered by an Iron grating. Thia obsta­ cle wan overcome by the use of saws, and tbe prisoners had then only to walk out of tl>e back door of the boiler room and acroas the yard and xcolc the board fence. A few yards from tho prison grounds the dense growth of timber afforded them a safe retreat temporarily. Warden Primer believes tbe prisoners used a spoon and wooden wedges to bur­ row through the brick. | i | Prize Money Won in tbe Spanish War to He Put to Novel U*e. Captain B. H.

An item In tpe b'H carrying $500,000 for a mili­ tary post st Manila precipitated a long debate, in which some of the ablest haters on both side* of the House took i part. When pressed -tor an explanation a* to the reason for the proposed appro­ priation of'$40,000 for the cmergencr fund for the State Department. Mr. Can­ non admitted that it was for the enter­ tainment of Prince Henry ot Germany. Mr. Clark (Mo.) wanted to know who wns going to pay the expenses of White­ law Reid. Captain Clark. Gen. Wilson, young Pierpout Morgan and young Wet­ more. who were tr be dispatched to Lon­ don to see King Edward VII. crowned. “We were to pay the expenses of .Prince Henry’s visit” said Mr. Clark, “and it was a poor rule that did not-work both to pay for tbe entertainment, of Prince Henry, why should not England pay the expenses of Reid. Clark and tbe others?’ Mr. Cannon in bis reply drew the fire of Mr. Do Armond of Missouri. Others who participated were Mr. Richardson, Tennessee;’ Mr. Grosvenor, Ohio; Mr.Alexander. New York; Mr. Grow. Pennsylvanla; Mr. Williams, Illinois, and Mr. Underwood. Alabama. Discussion of tbe Philippine tariff bftl occupied attention iu the Senate Tues­ day. the debate continuing three hours, and .resolving Itself along political lines. Senators Lodge, for the Republicans, nnd Rawlins, for the Democrats, were tho principal speakers, and were given close attention. Tbo bill was made the unfin­ ished business and . will probably hold that preference until the final vote. In the absence of other pressing business tbe House managers are allowing the widest latitud? in the debate on the ur­ gent deficiency bill now before the House. The Irrigation of arid lands in tfie West and the advisability of retaining-control of tho Philippines were the main topics under discussion Tuesday. The speakers were Mr. Sibley ,(Pa.l. Mr. Dinsmore (Ark.). Mr. Newland*-(Nev.). Mr. Mon­ dell (Wyo.), Mr. Robinson (Ind.), Mr. Kern (Ill.). Mr. Gaines (Tenn.).-Mr. Van­ diver (Mo.) and Mr. Greene (Iowa). • The House went Into committee of the whole soon after opening on Wednesday aud resumed the debate upon thc-gencral deficiency bill. Mr. Padgett of Tennessee, the first speaker, advocated the adoption of a declaration in favor of pledging tho United States to give independence to the Philippines. After some further re­ marks by Mr. Chandler of Mississippi and Mr. Zenor of Indiana Mr. Watson of Indiana dosed the general debate with an hour’s speech in defense of thb admin­ istration’s Philippine policy. Stirring partisan debate, lightened by ono shaft ot pure oratory, marked the proceedings, when the item in the urgent deficiency bill appropriating $500,000 for a military post in Manila came up tor consideration. Congressman Cannon offered an amend­ ment to appropriate the same sum for "shelter and protection’’ Of the enlisted men in the Philippines, and the Demo­ crats took this occasion to state their ob­ jections to tho Philippine policy of the administration. Tbe amendment was rdopted by a vote of 127 ayes to 100 nays. At the conclusion of routine busi­ ness In the Senate Mr. Nelson called np the bill establi«liing a department of com­ merce. Mr. Qr.-’■ Wisconsin offered an amendment ;>r >v;.;ing that the Secre­ tary of Commerce should hare complete control of the work of gathering and dis­ tributing statistical Information naturally relating to the subjects confided to hhs de­ partment. nnd to this end the Secretary of Commerce should hare antljprity to call upon all -other .departments of tho government for statiaticnl data to bo pub­ lished ttk he may deem wise. Senator Hanna was< tho central figure in Senate debate Thursday when consid­ eration of tho Department of Commerce bill was resumed. The pending question was the amendment offered by Mr, Pet­ tus ot Alabama providing that tbe De­ partment of Labor be not transferred to the proposed new department. Mr. Pet­ tus made a brief argument in support of his amendment, and be was supported by Mr. Bacon. In reply Mr. Nelson,, in charge of the pending measure, said he had heard no protest ngainst the trans­ fer until recently an official of a laltor organization hnd objected to it. He maiutained that it was a mistake to leavo the labor department without the juris­ diction of on executive department. Mr. Hanna said the establishment of the new department was in the Interest of both capital and labor. In the House the con­ sideration of the urgent deficiency bill, which has been under debate since Mon­ day, was completed, but owing to the lateness of the hour passage of the bill was postponed until Friday. A success­ ful effort was made to increase the pay ot rural free delivery carriers from $500 to $600 per annum. Mr. Hili of Connecti­ cut made tbo motion to increase the ap­ propriation for this purpose. It was re­ sisted by Mr. Cannon. Mr. Loud, chair­ man of the postoffiee committee, and Mr. Payne, the Republican floor leader, on the ground that the method was irregu­ lar, but tbe members with rural con­ stituencies supported it and it was adopt­ ed by a vote of 109 to 78. On Friday n vote wns reached on the urgency deficiency bill. The item that had aroused Democratic opposition was in­ geniously amended so a* to appropriate $500,000 for “the protection and shelter” of American troops serving in the FMilippines, instead of specifically for bar­ racks. In its original form the Item had received the support of only one I>emocrat, Mr. Cumming* nt New York. When the vote was taken upon it in amended form it received the support of sixteen Democrats in addition to the full Repub­ lican strength, tbe vote being 178 to 103. Wash Inarina Note*.

The reports from the various branches of the Iron and steel industry fulfill the expectations of thriving busi­ ness, nnd it is singular to see that for­ eign steel and Irod iu fair quantities have been -imported for Eastern consumers. German steel billets hare been delivered at Youngstown at a cost, to the purchas­ ers of $27.50 a ton. This Illustrates not merely the inability of the American manufacturers to supply immediately all kinds of steel which are needed, but nUo the readiness ot the German steel men to accept a low price for their product. The duty paid on these billets .was $6.72' ■ ton. A* anticipated, tho American Steel and Wire Company made an agreement with the independent manufacturers, and ' the result is kn advance of $1 a ton in the price of wire, while wire nails have been put up to $2.06 a keg. Tbe price of pig iron, tbe demand for which is maintained firmly, has not been changed. Southern as well ns Northern producers are conservative. Stocks at the furnaces are being reduced, aud the ontput. which wns 298,400 tons on Jan. 1,* probably is incressing. A different story is told in copper, two cuts reducing the trust quotation for lako to 11% cents a pound, while sales are re­ ported st 11 cents. This is a great reduc­ tion from 17 cents, at which the Amalga­ mated company’s selling agency endeav- ■ ored to support this metal. Foreign de­ mand. however, is nt last stimulated, nnd <cxports during the first half of this month improved considerably. The continued activity in building and the belief that it will continue on an ex­ tensive scale during this year will keep structural mills well . occupied.

Hoard of Wisconsin made one of his mas­ terly off-hand ad­ dressee. In his opinion Iowa farmers are fool­ ish in feeding the wrong kind of feed to tbe wrong kind of cows. , He related bow he had employed a man to visit 100 creamery patrons. see what kind of cows each kept, what they fed and the cost and find from the creamery books how much milk each furnished. It was found that thirty-five of these 100 farmers milked their cows at an actual loss and that every one of these losing herds consisted of dual purpose cows. "Tbe reason for this." toe said, "is ignorance and nothing else." The farm­ er was trying to dairy without cows ault^l to dairy performance, and he fed foods not suited to the production of milk. The high­ est profits In ev­ ery case came from ‘the herds which were dairy bred and dairy fed. * They bad dairy form and aptitude and food Hourreix head. containing a suffi­ ciency of protein. Mr. Hoard's main contention Is that the patron is in the rear. The crea cu­ crymen and the creameries are reason­ ably up to dnte. Jmt the patron has not progressed. He is in the rear, and so long as this is tbe case no satisfac­ tory progress can be made, for no creamery can prosper without milk from prosperous patrons, and they can­ not prosper if the milk pays little or no profit. -Dairymen are looking into tbe qqesQpn of feeding their cow* bone meal as part of the dally ration. In order to* supply Ume and bone making ma­ terial. This same question Is also In­ teresting those who raise hogs in large numbers. At this time tew conclusive experiments are on record, hence the only advice that can be given is to try tho plan with both cows and hog* that are fed largely on a corn ration, and note the results. There is little doubt but what results wM* be lieneficlal for stock that consume considerable succu­ lent food, but tbe well balanced grain ration ought to give the desired results with cows without resorting to th* bone meal experiment. As a rule, there is too much feeding of bulk during the winder and not enough variety in the ration, and farmers will not get all there Is out of feeding until they work out for themsehA one or more bal­ anced rations for their herds. Asriculturul Exports. Our agricultural Interests, which have bad the Intelligent fostering of the Bureau of Agriculture, show the results, not only Ln greater production and better quality, but in the unprece­ dented Increase in the foreign demand, as shown by the bureau’s report on foreign markets. Some of the con­ trasting figures In our export trade be­ tween 1870 and 1SM» are as follows: Indian corn. $1,000,000, against $70.­ 000.000;, wheat flour. $20,000,000, against $73,000,000; cattle, $500,000, against $30,000,000; cured meats, $#,000.000. against $03,000,000; cotton seed oil. $15,000, against $12,000,000.— Exchange. In Germany they tested rye as food for pigs in comparison with barley. In some cases the pigs refused It alto­ gether. and when given in large amounts it was not eaten readily. As a single ration It should not be con­ tinued long, and It ought In ali cases to be soaked or carefully ground, It gave best results when fed with qther feeding stuff that has a larger percent­ age ot fiber, more protein and less of the carbo hydrates.

It was just 12:15 when s dull roar, coupled with a shock which coq’.J be felt for miles around, told of some grave acci­ dent at the mine. Within five minutes the ground surrounding the pit mouth wns thronged with the wives and the families of tho r-iinem. Then as they stood around, not grasping the full import of .what had occurred, from out of the pit mouth burst a shaft of flame, setting the top works on fire and rendering the work of rescue impossible. . A panic- immediately followed. Many of the women, who did not know in what part of the mine their husbands bad been working, ran frantically through ttie groups of men who were gathered togeth­ er excitedly discussing means ot rescue, some hunting vainly for a familiar face, only to be told after htalf an hour’s search that the bread winner of the family and the head of their household was some­ where in those workings from which vicious puffs of flame were being spouted forth. Several women bad to be re­ strained from leaping into tbe mouth of the pit even before the fire was under control, and the physicians who had been summoned from all the ncar-hy town* were busy immediately upon their arrival in attending to the women, who, trended by their grief, were on the verge of losing their senses. Rescue Part lea Have Difficulty. It was 3 o’clock before the rescue par­ ties were able to enter the mine, and, when finally the cages were rigged, the fire under control and they were lowered into tbe ruined workings they found at every step charred bodies of the men who had been killed by the first shock aud over whose corpses the flames had wrought havoc, burning some of them so badly that identification was barely possible. There were 110 men at work in the mine at the time of tbe explosion, but eighty managed to escape, compara­ tively uninjured, through the various air shafts. The total property damage will not ex­ ceed $10,000. The mine is owned by the Ixist Creek Fuel Company, of which Charles E. Lofland, Frank Lofland, H. E. Spencer nnd J. M. Timbrel ot Oskaloosa are principal owners. The town of Lost Creek has a pop*stion of about 000. The mine in which tho rxplMion'occur^ed is known as shaft No. 2. ’and was opened only about one year ago. The mine sells its output to the Iowa Central Railway Company. The mine was quite recently inspected by the State mine examiner and declared in good shape. Dust explosions are common in bituminous mines, bat seldom affect more than a single room. NEW SIGNAL SYSTEM URGED'. Dfepntcbere Say Preacnt Method of Sending Orders In Antiquated. Train dispatchers of the country want all possibility of collisions removed by doing away with the present system ot train orders, that can be misinterprets, and signals that may be unseen. Instead of these antiquated methods it is pro­ posed to substitute colored electric lights in the engine cab, signals that always can be seen and never can be misunder­ stood. It is desired to make, the safeguards against wrecks as nearly perfect aa pos­ sible by not trusting to a man's mind. Mechanical accuracy only is believed to meet the requirements of tbe age. Among others to urge u change is A. C. MlUer of Aurora, chief dispatcher of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Rail­ way. He suggests that several disas­ trous wrecks of late were due t » the al­ leged misunderstanding of written orders, and insists that written orders never should be used.

Having failed during two years’ strife in subduing the Insurrection in Batanagas Province, which lies just south of Manila, and having become convinced that lenient treatment of the insurgents ia productive of no good results, Gen. J. Franklin Bell, military commander in that province, has decided on the en­ forcement of the’war in the most vigor­ ous and determined fashion, involving re­ concentration in a modified form, the ap­ plication of martial law in ail directions nnd the unsparing pursuit and punish­ ment of natives who act as spies and trai­ tors to the United States. All this appears from a long report to the War Department. The reconcen­ tration order ia substance provides for the establishment of a tone around the garrisons kilo which the friendly inhabit­ ants are to be required to come under penalty of confiscation and destruction of their property. This is said to be neces­ sary to prevent |be collection of forced contributions from the inhabitants by the insurgents. The military officers are al­ lowed to fix the price of neeesaariea of life and it is promised that the people inay return as soon as peaceful condi­ tions are established. This order is followed by a long dreularAy Gen. Bell to bln station command­ ers. commenting on existing conditions and giving them advice how to proceed. He says it is regrettable that the inno­ cent must suffer with the guilty, but the greatest good to the greatest number can be brought about best by putting a prompt end to the insurrection.

Pupils are re­ quested by the board not to make any arrangements about procuring new books until the latter part of next week, as there will be some changes in the text books, which have-been con­ templated for some timd, but have not been made on account of the expense. They will be made now, as*practically all of the book* have been destroyed, and the new book* can be put in at in­ troductory prices, which will make a marked saving over regular prices, at which the old books would have to be replaced. . The school board has been in al­ most continuous session since the Are, and throimh the kindness oi the var­ ious churches of the village will be ready to start school work again on Monday, the 17th. The high school, under Supt. C. H. Farrell, Principal G. N. Fuller, Misses Crooks and Nev­ ins, will bold forth at the Methodist church, and will be conducted on «the college plan, the students being re­ quired to do their studying at 'home and coming to the church for reci­ tation*. The sixth and seventh grades, under Miss Johnson, will occupy the Congregarioaul church. The fifth grade, with Miss Boston in> charge, will use the front room of the second floor of the Truman block, over Welsh’s store. The third and fourth grades, Miss McMoore instructor, will occupy the Evangelical church, while the primary department, in charge of Misses Holdridge and Brum­ baugh, will occupy the Baptist chapel. Thus all of the departments will, be taken care of in comfortable quarters, the use of the churches being given to the district free of charge, the board furnishing fr»?l and agreeing to make good any damages which may Jocciir to the buildings. Step* will be taken at once toward the erection of a new building. Assoon as the insurance on the burned build­ ing is adjusted the board will call a special meeting to see what is desired by the citizens, and all possible efforts will be made to have the new building ready for occupancy in time for the opening of school in September. It seems to be the general opinion that the new building should be consider­ ably larger than the old one, in order to accommodate the growth of the schools. All agree the building should not be more than two stories in height, but as the grounds are ample should be much larger on the ground. The board may be relied upon to carry out the wishes of th«ir constitu­ ents in eye^y respect. DR. F. LAW. NUMBER 24 LOCAL BP1EPS. New ties at Gribble's. Fancy shirts at Gribbin's.

An animated and prolonged discussion was precipitated ki the Senate on.Mon­ day oyer the right of army officer* to criticise utterances made In the Senate or elsewhere on the conduct of affairs in the Philippines. At times it became somewhat acrimonious, officers In the Philippines being taken sharply to task for statements attributed to them hi dis­ patches from Manila. The House adopt­ ed a resolution,calling fcr documents re­ lating to the ok! training ship Vermont, which wak placet! out of commission last summer, and also passed a bill to pro­ vide for the compulsory attendance of witnesses before registers and receivers of the general land office. A bill to ap­ propriate $100.00*) for cstabl:ihing homes for the teaching of articulate speech to deaf children was defeated. Philippine debate grew so bitter in the Senate on Tuesday that prsonal encouaters were narrowly averted. The storm raged'for three hours, and the chairman waa kept busy maintaining order. After years df patient effort commercial organ­ izations and business men were rewarded by the Senate passing the bill for rhe creation of a department of commerce and labor. The measure goes to the House in substantially the form i.n which it waa introduced. Th- most important change is in. the name of the depart­ ment. As originally suggested it was to be the department of commerce and in­ dustry. No material opposition in the House is anticipated. Its quick passage is confidently expected. A bill to permit the extension for twenty years of the charters of national banks was favorably reported by the Senate committee ou finance. Just before the adjournment of the Senate Senator Spooner introduced a substitute for the Nicaragua canal bill. Senator Cullom, as chairman of the committee on foreign relations, virtually appealed to the Senate on Wednesday from the decision of his committee on the question of reciprocity treaties. Broadly, he took the position that a treaty is the supreme law of the land, superseding acts of Congress, and that-uhder the con­ stitution the President by treaty ratified by the Senate can do anything Congress can do. For an hour the Senate had un­ der discussion the question whether a censorship of press dispatches exists !n Manila. The debate for a time was very spirited. The Secretary of War was quoted as saying that no press censor­ ship now existed in the Philippines, and n letter from Gen. Greely.- chief signal officer of the army, was presented by Mr. Beveridge of Indiana, making the state­ ment officially that there was no censor­ ship and that “the press is entirely free.” It was contended by the opposition that censorship did exist iu the Philippines, and that copies of every news dispatch filed with the cable company were filed with the military authorities. The House adjourned after being in session only twenty-five minutes. Mr. Hopkins of Illinois reported the permanent census bill and gave notice he would call it up Thursday. A request to make the oleo­ margarine bill a special order for the fol­ lowing Monday was objected to on the Democratic side. --------- ------- -£,iC of bu»lNei iQTi. *“•was ___________ 1 u n t o w s r d development^ during the last week.

Not only those who expect to sell their surplus of . potatoes and other roots, but those who intend to use the tubers for seed purposes, should lie careful to guard against the cold weather. When It gets so cold that frost can be .seen upon the Inside of the cellar walls, it is too cold In the cellar for nearly all roots, but espe­ cially for potatoes and such others as may be intended for seed purposes. The Cooper system of cold storage places the proper temperature of potatoes in storage at 34 degrees, or two above the freezing point while carrots may be kept at 33 degrees, onions and parsnips at 32 degrees, or just at freezing. We have seen onions kept well at a much lower temperature than that, but an essential requirement was that they should thaw out gradually, a’iid with­ out any exposure to sunlight or artifi­ cial heat How onions so kept would have proved If they had been set to grow seed we do not know, as we never tested them. But It Is said that the po­ tato which has been In’cold .storage, and even not lower than 34 degrees, has been ao chilled tlurt It Is unfit to use ns a seed. Its vitality has been re­ duced. and while we bflve had sprouts come from potatoes that were partially frozen, the yield was not such as to lead us to advise any one to freeze their seed potatoes.

Lu breeding, only healthy or vigorous females should be used, and tiiey should be In the prime of life—not too young nor too old. It Is equally import­ ant that the male should be perfectly healthy and sound ■ and free from all constitutional and hereditary diseases or Imperfections. As a general rule the dairyman .must rely upon the common stock of the country on the oue hand and the thoroughbred bull on the other for the base of his operations. It is use­ less to talk about the exclusive intro­ duction of pure thoroughbreds to meet the present wants of dairymen. The animals would be altogether too ex­ pensive, even if It were possible to find jjiem. Again, It may be doubted whether any advantage would be gain­ ed in the mere production of milk over crossing of common stock with thor­ oughbreds. The grade animal as a milker may prove equal to or even bet­ ter than the thoroughbred. The only course for the most of dairymen Is to start with a good herd of native cows having good dairy *ypes, us® a thor­ oughbred bull and breed up to the qualities desired.—Kansas Farmer. __ , Spooner, shaking his finger The Rev.

Lincoln City is lost away among the hills of Spencer County-Inac­ cessible almost to the traveler. It did not boast of it name until after the poor boy who spent his boyhood—from 7 to 21 years—beta had become President of the nation and took his place in the brightest pages of the; world's history. Thea peo­ ple down *t the county seat' began to refer to the settlement as Lincoln City, and now it has a recognition on most maps of Indiana. Here, on n knoll, lies buried Nancy Hanks, Lincoln’s mother. Over there iu a forgotten grave lies Sally Bush, hia step-mother and guiding angel, and all around are the landmarks ot in­ terest, each referring to u story of his boyhood days.

They crossed into the wilderness of In­ diana and drove north into the Indian land. Fifteen miles back from the Ohio, they found a knoll, and there they stop­ ped and made their home. This ground Is Lincoln City of to-day. Thomas was a carpenter, and he managed to build a log cabin. He did not take the trouble, however, to cut In windows. He made three three-legged stools and a ta­ ble by turning a broad slab, flat surface up, and putting In four sticks as legs. There was a bed made by poking poles Into cracks in-the logs, and supporting the other cuds in forked sticks. Over these poles were laid whip-sawed boards, «nd over these leaves, and then bear and deer skins nnd old dothes. This, with the exception of a Dutch oven nnd a skillet, was the entire household equip- "As be is remembered here, Thomas Lincoln was anything but exemplary. He was lazy to a very great degree, and spent all of his time fishing eud bunting. He only cultivated a half doxen acres of laud add his wife and children did all of the work. He was too lazy, or indispos­ ed. to provide his bouse with necessities, and Jibe, who slept in the loft, had to mount to his perch by pegs driven in the walls, because his father was too shiftless to make him a ladder. And with all due •credit to Nancy Hnnks, It must be ad- mitt cd that she was little better than the father. They ruled their children by harsh methods, they were not cleanly and they’ had never cared for better things. Therefore. Abraham, when he Was 0 years of age. had not learned to read ar 'figgcr.* aud his sister, two years ^1* senior, had not fared better. It was possibly a good thing for the nation, as well as the boy, that, when be was 8 years old, his mother sickened and died. The father and sou whip-tawed lumber and made a crude box into which the •corpse was placed. Twenty settlers gath­ ered at the Lincoln cabin and carried the coffin to a hillock in the virgin forest and lowered her to her last resting place. There was no one present who was capa­ ble of ’saying a few words,’ and that ■was deferred for wme months, and then performed by an Itinerant preacher. Woman Who Made His Character. "Thomas had been a w.dower thirteen months, when he took a notion to go over to -Kentucky and see the folks where be had lived. There he found a widow. Sally Bush Johnston, at! old sweetheart, who bad married Johnston, bis hated rival. He again proposed and was acwpted. Thomas was not ouly the great­ est story teller ot his section of southern Indians, but he had a poor regard for the truth, at times, and he won his aecond wife by exaggerate bis estate io Indians to palatial proportions. Hally was a woman of sterling qualities. 8l*e had been surronnded with the utensils of rivilkation—a bureau, a clothes chest, a ; chairs with backs, white table and dothes, knives, fork*, and cooking Thomas insisted that she sell MONUMENTS TO LINCOLN AND HIS MOTHER Abe saw the chairs, the knives and forks and other furniture unloaded, his eyes stood wide open, for be had never seen anything like it before. Bally Bush was a natural enemy of all chaos and disorder. She tossed the old dirty household effects out, made Thomas cut windows into the walls and put a floor in the cabin. * She washed the walls and put the five chil­ promises.

The nnd------------of harsh words,---. great soul of the awkward. Ignorant boy opened to her and the friendship which followed, filled his whole life. He has said of her: ’She was the woman who first made me feel like a human being.’ “Sally clothed Abe and Nancy cleanly, and as well as her limited finances would permit, and uut them * ' ' went four miles to school and had to walk. The boy read­ ily grasped the in­ struction given, and within him were born the ambitions which made him President. After all the influences of those high In polit­ ical authority, af­ ter all of the ae- | quirements of the | man himself, after all that might be considered arc weighed, it becomes , evident that It was I with this . her ruling by lore, Wacom's aaara. her great fund of organising and manag­ ing powers, that gave to the world one of its greatest men. Had it not been for her there is little doubt that Lincoln would not have risen higher than the illiterate' wood chopper. “Abe was within two months of bring 21 years oid when he accompanied his father to Illinois nnd became a rail split­ ter by force of his poverty, and later a lawyer by constant night study. Thomas, the father, had showed improvement un­ der the management of Sally. It was here that Lincoln built bls flat‘boat and went down the Mississippi to New Orleans and first beheld slavery, and it was here, when he returned home, that he gave ut­ terance to Tf I ever get a chance to hit that (slavery), I will hit' it hard.’ It was here he clerked in a general store; It was here that he first told hia. stories, nnd it was here that the Lincoln of history was molded. Here and there are the de- CurlouirOld Tradition. There is a curious old tradition that ths birds select their mates on St. Valentine’s day. which is more interesting in the at­ tention accorded it than in itself. Shakspeare in his "Midsummer Night's Dream.” make* Theseus say when he suddenly stumbles upon the quartet of lovers asleep in the wood: Begin these wood-birds but to couple now? One of Chaucer’s stanzas pictures Na­ ture reminding the "foules” of her Inex­ orable laws: Te know well how, on St. Valentine's day. i By my statute and through my governance. Ye do choose your mates. Dr. Donne also has indited an ode to St. Valentine: Hail Bishop Valentine! All the air Is thy diocese. And all the chirping choristers And other birds arc thy parishioners. ' Thou marryest, every year • The lyric lark and grave whispering dove. The sparrow that neglects her life for Jove; The household bird and his, red stotuacher. Thou marst the blackbird speed as soon As doth the goldfinch or the halcyon. St. Valentine, as a hierophant of tho heart, has no more devoted disciple than caying landmarks of his boyhood life. The last time he was here was when cn route to Washington to occupy the place which the people of the nation had elect­ ed hlm*to. He came to see Sally Bush, and she would have gone with him if she would have listened to him. The eyes of the nation were on him at that mo­ ment as they were never upon a Presi­ dent before or since, but still his heart was centered In the little cabin.

Miss Harrison, in her mothers' class in this city, urged mothers to dis­ countenance in every way that they could the buying or sending of coarse, vulgar caricatures known as "comic valentines." "The right attitude,’’- said ahe, "of the child is that of reverence or looking up. All that takes the bloom off of life in­ jures the child's growth. Comic valen­ tines are not only coyrse and low, but they give wrong, exaggerated Impressions of life to th? child, and thereby Injure his intellectual growth as well as his spirit­ ual -fineness of fiber. "To prevent a desire for them, begin by telling the story of the life of the man who was so good and true and unselfish, whose aims were so high and whose pur­ pose wan so noble that after his death the people who had known him or who hod known of him loved to speak of him ns St. Valentine. Next show how It grad­ ually became the custom to send little to­ kens of nfllction. messages of cheer and of remembrance by way of celebrating this saint's birthday. See that the desire thus aroused finds outlet with the child in the right kind of valentines purchased and made. Let him send them to the people he loves. The valentines which aye made by the child are. as a rule, more healthful than those that are purchased by tho mother for him." Mias Harrison then showed several pretty ways of folding and cutting the old-fashioned valentines ■ used in our grandmothers’ days. "If* this plan is carried out,” continned She. “I think you will have little need to forbid the purchasing of the coarser arti­ cle. The incongruousness of the thing will show itself to the child.

But it is no use thinking of that, because the money is not mine." “I’m not myself quite so confident upon that head, dearest.

Some one write* to the American Blacksmith to tell how be used a dl«carded bicycle to drive a grindstone. •He removed the top brace of the frame and stapled the front to a stout post. The near support was constructed from 2 by 4 Inch timber, und the frame ' braced below. The sprocket of the rear wheel was removed by cutting its spokes, and then mounted on the same slut ft as the grindstone. To do this he filled the hole In the stone with a piece of wood, and bored a |iole In the latter of the same slxe ns that In the sprocket. Of course, his axl? would then fit both. It appears that the chain he,used was made up of two. One- was not long enough. The a/ies were mounted with ball bearings, and the stone can lie driven at lightning speed with little trouble.

In this age of speculation there are many alluring baits set to catch the unwary person who is looking for a chance to make easy money. The newspapers of today are filled with prospectuses of mining schemes, oil well schemes and colonization schemes which promise great returns for a very small outlay.

It is a very safe proposition to let all these schemes very severely alone. Thai tough Hangs On You have used all sorts of cough reme­ dies but it does not yield; it is too deep seated.

Houghton County is one of the largest land owner# in' the State, and is deriving handsome returns from its mineral lands.

The committee on judiciary of the Sen­ ate made a- favorable report on the Hoar anti-anarchy bill with two important amendments. The principal features of the bill are that it prescribes the death penalty for all perrons who shall attempt the life of the President or any offleial in the line of succession or who shall aid such would-be assassin to escape cap­ ture; also for any one who shall attemiit in this country tbe life of the chief ruler of another nation. Imprisonment for not exceeding ten years is prescribed for all who threaten, advise or instigate such assassination. The Secretary of War is authorized and directed to select and detail, from the regular army, a suffldent number of officers and men to guard and protect the person of the President of the United States without any unnecessary display. The provision regarding threats and ut­ terances against tho life of the President' is very drastic. It provides that any per•on who shall, within tbe limits of the United States or place subject to tho jur­ isdiction thereof, by spoken words or by written words, uttered vr published, threaten to kill, or advise, ar instigate another w kill, the President or tbe VJcewith the ceremony because he knew the Prewdent of the United States, or any license had been applied for and that it officer thereof upon whom the power and were assembled and the wedding feast wav getting cold, and ao he went ahead.

FRIDAY, HEAR QEARMART. Last Nuaober in Hlgb Sibool Lecture Course. The last number on tbe high school entertainment course will be given at the opera bouse next Monday evening by the Hon. G. A. Gearhart. For tbe last fire years there has been no more popular lecturer on the American plat­ form than Mr. Gearhart. He has filled return engagements at every large as-. aembly and chautanqua in the country and is almost in constant demand at high school and college commence­ ments. His lecture on '‘The Coming Man" as is said to be one of the finest things ever beard in this country, oom­ paring favorably with the best effort* of Talmage, Wendling and DeMotte. It should be heard by everyone who is interested in the many questions that lhe coming generation will he called upon to solve. If you want to hear an interesting lecture on an interesting subject by a refined and highly edu­ cated orator, who has never been ac•used of being dry, do not fail to at­ tend. Al a revival meeting in a Methodist ohurch a butcher arose and said that he wm the wickedest man in town, and had given his customers short weight for years. “I'd go lo hell if I ■should die tonight,” he concluded. Immediately an old deacon, who i* in t£e grocery business, started lhe hyinn, “If you get there before i do, 'look for me: I’m coming too." And then the grocer wondered why every­ body laughed. Barnum^s Monkey& “All well—all happy —lots of fun". That is the regular report from the monkey cage of Barnum's Circus evcr since the keepers began dosing the monkeys with Scott's Emul­ sion. Consumption was carry­ ing off two thirds of them every year and the circus had to buy new ones. One day a keeper accident­ ally broke a bottle of Scott’s Emulsion near the monkey cage and the monkeys eagerly lapped it up from the floor. This suggested the idea that it might do them good. Since then the monkeys have received regular doses and the keepers report very few deaths from consumption. Of course it’s cheaper to buy Scott's Emul­ sion than new monkeys—and that suits the circus men. • Consumption in monkeys •nd in man is the same disease. If you have it or are threatenBed with it can you take the hint? Thia picture represents the Tnufe Mart. of Scott's Emulsion and in on the “wrapper of every bottle. Send for frrerempte.

A barrel or hogshead can be used Jn place of a log, with much saving of labor.

This cut is from American Agri­ culturist. The last cut Is from Farm and Home and represents an easily con­ structed sawbuck. Chicks Need Grit. The chicks wiU(be benefited by hav­ ing some kind of gritty material mixed with their first feed. Coarse sand or egg shells dried and run through the coffee mill Is probably as good as any­ thing for this purpose.

Next to the rav­ ages of Hee.. bowel troubles lead to the heaviest loss of chicks, and the grit tends In a great degree to prevent such troubles if a chick Is killed at tbe eml of tbe first day that it baa run with the hen its crop will be found to contain a considerable quantity of sand and fine gravel, and If tbe weath­ er Is such that the ben can be turned loose tbe day following that on which the brood is taken from the nest, nnd be allowed to select the food, the own­ er will generally be safe In relieving himself of any concern regarding their health The hen sees to It that the chicks get something which is not XMraally thought of by the owner, and that Is grit.—Drovers' Journal. Clover in the Rotation Crop*. . It Is now generally understood that the rotation of crops Is practiced so that the plant foods In the soil may be drawn upon about In equal quantities Instead of using heavily of one and llt]tle of the others, as Is the case when jone crop Is grown several years in suc­ cession. There Is another point about >tbe rotation of crops that Is not so well understood by farmers, and that Is the value of using clover or some plant of a similar character as a part of the rotation crops, and simply be■cause It returns more plant food to the soil than It takes out of it Thus to •one reason why authorities on legumes •have urged so pent 1stetfcly that farm•ers use them more firefly And have «bown where cowpeas.

That is what it would amount to if tto parties tQ the dispute were men : trad of nations. Tto friendship of America is a matter of great consequence at present, and like­ ly to become more valuable in. the near future, and England and Germany are both bidding frantically for it. England has taken great care to foster tlje belief that she stood by us when the other pow­ er* would hire stepped in to prevent our defeat of Spain, and our attitude in Eng-, land’s fight with tbe Boer republic. - When that struggle came on it was said that only America stood between Great Britain and a European coalition that would hare attempted to humble her. Historical Events Reviewed. While we were getting friendlier and friendlier with England, we were drift­ ing into hostility toward Germany. In the first plnce, there was the irritation of Admiral Dewey by Admiral Von Diedrichs at Manila. Then there were trade trouble*—tariff matters—of which both America and Germany complained. Then came the growing menace of Ger­ man supremacy in Brazil, where we fear­ ed she wa* building up a great colony with the ultimate purpose of challenging the Monroe doctrine, which was followed by the advance of German warships to­ ward Venezuela and Panama—a move we matched by dispatching to the same wat­ ers a fleet stronger than that we sent to fight tto Spanish ships at Santiago. If there was not a war cloud on the political sky of the two natkrns, there was at least a very pronounced haxe of .the same character, and “Anglo-Ameri­ can alliance" became a favorite phrase with orator* at dinners, both in America and England. President Roosevelt appointed an epvoy extraordinary to go to the corona­ tion of King Edward VII. Just at this time the Emperor conceived the idea of ■ending his brother to America to attend the launching of his yacht, and sending with him an imperial present for the daughter of tto President. At the same time his German Majesty came out with aoine flat-footed denials of any hostile purpose as to the Monroe doctrine, said he was not looking for coaling stations in the Western Hemisphere, and had* no idea of buying the Danish West Indies If we objected in the least. In a day the war fog lifted, America began to be enthusiastic about Prince Henry’* visit. Then it was that the English adroitly revived the old Spanish war controversy. It was given out that Lord Salisbury ~e‘garded Austria’s suggestion that a strong note to sent to the United States urging a reason aod protesting against her mak­ ing war on Spain as an unwarrantable f fl IVl ' NINE DEAD IN BATTLE.

TPe flamt^ with great rapidity and Id a fsellng, bilious turns, fit* of iodir*- As soon, as tbe firs wm discovered watchman and nur*e* ran through the corridere arousing sleeping patients. Many of them were unable to help ihemselvee and were carried lc places of safety by nurses. Meantime the great corrlders were filling with smoke and many of the patient* who had attempted to' escape by the stairways were forced to re­ turn to the windows. The shrieks of the terrified people rent the sir; arous­ ing the people far arid wide. Every fresh arrival on the scene lent a will­ ing hand in tho work of rescue. At the time the fire broke out there were nearly a thousand patient* and helpers under the roof. Before the building was abandoned a nurse had visited each room and the management is positive that eyery patient is safe. Tbe origin of the fire Is unknown. It started in tbe basement and follow­ ed the elevator shaft to the top floors and in ten minutes the entire building was in flames. The only accidents to patient* befell Mrs. H. 0. Daniels, of Elrado, Ark. She jumped from a third-story win­ dow and broke her leg and sustained internal injuries which may prove fatal. Three fireman were injured. The sanitarium stood on tbe highest point in tbe city', and the water pres­ sure being low, the firemen could not get at tbe flame*. By the time water was turned on the burning structure the main building was a roaring fur­ nace. Nothing that tbe firemen could do could check the progress of the fire and by 6.30 o’clock tbe main build­ ing was a ruin and tho big hospital* was burning, together with several ad­ jacent buildings, with no hope of saring>tbem. The patients were taken to the Phelps sanitorium, and to the hotels in the city, and will be cared for until those who are well enough can leave for home. Among tbe prominent guest* who es­ caped in their nightclothes were Evan­ gelist Ira D. Sankey and hie wife. They saved nothing except what they had on. . The loss is a bad blow for the city, but the managers of the institution state that the buildings will be re­ placed as soon as possible. The loss will reach *500,000 with *148,000 insur­ ance on the buildings. The first building at the institution was erected in 1866, and has been greatly added to at various times since. The main Dew building was erected in 18-87 and was 312x100 feet and six stories.high. It was partly of brick and partly veneered. . It is the intention of the directors to put up a structure that will be modern in every detail and absolutely fire­ proof. The buildings that were destroyed were the main building, the hospital buildings, Elder Salisbury’s bouse, and Wood’s barber shop. It Is known that one life was lost. Abner Case of Bath, N. ¥., is tbe vic­ tim. He was there with his wife and when they became separated in lhe ex­ citement surrounding tbe fire she sup­ posed that some nurse bad taken him out. He was 83 years old and very feeble. He was an uncle of Mrs. M. B. Brooks of thia village.

Twenty years ago ths tide ot Immigra­ tion swept over the eastern portion of South .Dakota and was only stopped in its western advance by the great Sioux reservation, which held the entire western bank ot the Missouri river from the Ne­ braska line tar Into what Is now North Dakota. For years the people ot the territory labored to remove this barrier, which separated them from tbe riph "Black Hills mining region. By the time this was accomplished tbe current of im­ migration had changed and was speed­ ing toward Oklahoma and tbe Cherokee strip. The railroad builders who bad long waited to secure an entrance to tbe Black Hills country, directly across South Da­ kota. tired of waiting and swept around the obstructing reservation through Ne­ braska into the coveted country. Anoth­ er swirl of the current has now started immlgranta ,to the Northwest. The esti­ mates of railroad immigration agents is that 200,000 persons will land in the two Dakotas within the year 1902, and a« those coming now must either buy lands at from $5 to $80 an acre cast of the Missouri river those who desire homes witbout this expense will cross to the grass lands that were once tbe home of the Sioux, and secure them at the low government price of 50 cents an acre or less.

Ohio Man In cent* Electric Machine for Use in Dentistry. "Destined to prove one of the most wonderful inventions of the age," is the way in which Thomas A. Edison speaks of a little electric machine invented by Thomas W. McCue of Akron, Ohio. Mr. McCue took it to Edison's home and tbe great electrician gave It o thorough study and test. The machine does away with .all pain in dentistry, and while no at­ tempt has been made to apply it to sur­ gery Mr. McCue is confident of Its ulti­ mate success there. He describes its op­ eration as "short-circuiting” the pain and preventing it from reaching the brain. It reduces the current U> oncone-htmdred thousandth of a volt, a re­ sult which electricians have claimed could not be achieved. RAISE RATES ON FIRE RISKS.

The provision t* require the inspection and branding of renovated butter, which was adopted in committee of the whole, was retained on an aye and nay vote.

It makes oleomarga­ rine, or imitation butter, or cheese, trans­ ported Into atty State or territory for use, sale or consumption therein, subject to the laws of such State or territory—not­ withstanding that it may be introduced in original packages—and imposes a tax of 10 cents per pound on oleomargarine made in Imitation of “butter of any shade of yellow.’’ When not made in such Imitation, tho tax is reduced to one-fourth of 1 cent per pound. Tbe second section is intended to prevent dealers, hotel proprietors and restaurant and boarding house keeper* from coloring the uncolored article by making any person who colors the pro­ duct and then sells or furnishes it to oth­ ers a manufacturer within -the meaning of tho act. Penalties for violation of the act are a fine of not loss than fiOO nor more than $500. and imprisonment for not less than thirty days nor more than six months. The new eection relating to the inspec­ tion and branding of renovated butter is as follows: “.That the Secretary of Ag­ riculture is hereby authorized and. re­ quired to cause a rigid sanitary inspec­ tion to he made from time to time, and a.t such times as he may deem necessary, o’f all -factories and storehouses where butter is renovated; and all butter reno­ vated at such places shall be carefully in­ spected in the name manner and to the same extent and purpose that meat pro­ ducts are now inspected. The quantity and quality of butter renovated shall be reported monthly. All renovated butter shall be designated as such by mark*, brands and labels, and the words ‘reno­ vated butter' shall be printed on ail pack­ ages thereof in such manner as may be prescribed by th?

In which hole* have been punched, should be fastened to the Bill for these plus to play in. Thus the pins will be kept from wearing the wood. A similar plate should be placed where tbe-gates meet, to accomincxlate the vertical bolt on one of them. The other gate should have a latch. The slats and braces may be made from ztuff l’i Inches thick and four Inches wide. They ah* attached to each other and to the uprights with bolts. The short braces arc on the opposite side of the slats from the long ones, so that the same bolt may go through both where they overlap. When finished, the frame and gates should be well painted. It will be seen that these gates can be used singly or together, and that they swing In either direction. It is al­ ways a convenience to have a gate swing away from you, no matter from which side you approach. How to Tie a Grata Bag.

This ought to be near a good market but atnnot always be—that la. without pay­ ing too high for it. All extra expense should be curtailed In this business, ns the Income comes In small amounts. After a location is settled upon a free range Is a necessity. That gives the needed exercise, and prevents an accu­ mulation of lice. The next thing is an adaptability to tbe business. If one cannot be content with small earnings, and cannot save them as thty come In, he should not undertake the business. Tbe poultry should be breeds that lay in winter, when eggs are high.

One or two years* silence is not much, is It, Irene?” "No, not much," she answered. "But, Sir Hulbert, if yoa can make your mar­ riage public then, why-not now?" "I shall have arranged all my affaire by then." he replied, "and it will not mat­ ter who knows It when that is done." Half shyly she asked: "Would it not be better for us to wait until thnt time comes? We could see each other sometimes, and write often. Would it not be better, Sir Hulbert?" "Yon know that it in uncertain; Jrcne. I cannot fell you whether it may be one year, or two, or three. Shall we part with this uncertainty before us? Ah.

"I will,” he replied. *‘To-dny is Tues­ day. Meet mo here early on Thursday morning. We will walk to Hindlea rail­ way station, then we will' take the train to London.

You have a perfect right to please yourself," he answered. "Leave a letter, telling them you have gone away to be married, and that in two years' time your husband will bring you home again. Will yuu con­ sent to that?" "Do you think it will grieve them Very mu$h?" she asked. "I should think not,” he replied; "if they love you very much, they will be pleased to know that you are happy, and yoa must not forget to tell them you are happy.” Again the sweet, clear eyes were raised "Do yon think It right, Sir Hulbert?" she asked. "Right? Yes. Why, my darling, what a simple question. You love mo and I love you, why should we not choose each other from all the world to be happy with each other? It would not be what you call right to part aud be miserable, la my mind all is fair in lore and war, and not only fair, but right."

You do it so sud­ denly, you startle me.” "Do I? Then I win not do it again,” she said, and before they parted every­ thing was arranged for Irene to leave home with Sir Hulbert on Thursday. CHAPTER VL On the. to" her, fatal Thursday Irene walked through the fields, listening to the music that came from the soft throats of a hundred birds; so soon she should see those green fields again, so soon she should retrace her steps, and return the happiest amTiiHrtl envied of women. There, in the far distance, were the Oulton Hills, where Santon Darcy had first seen his beautiful wife, coming to him, as It were, from the gulden cloud­ land. She walked quickly lest her lover should be waiting for her. There were no words when they did meet; he clasp­ ed her hands in his and kissed her beau­ tiful lips; still holding her hand, they walked together to Branlea. It was ali a novelty to Irene, the lux­ urious traveling, the finu-daa* carriage, which, by dint ot a golden key. Sir Hul­ bert kept for themselves, the care, the respect, the attention shown them, her delight when they first saw the streets of London, her surprtse at the magnificence to th? window, md they stood for some minntei* watching the crowded afreet. “Irene," be said suddenly, "you do not would mra again and *gain to look at that wondrous face. A* aha drove through the Bob de Boulogne, every man who I will send you a dress to-night. Will that please youT’ . "Yes,” she answered, with the gay, bright smile he always liked to see. "1 “La belle Anglaiae." they called her, and many hundreds of inquiries, were made as to who "La bell© {taflaiM” »«. Her history seemed simple enough; *he was. Mra. Leigh, and abe lived with her husband, an English millionaire, it was commonly supposed, .at .the Hotel de Bourbon, dost* to the Tuileries, one of the finest hotels in Paris. That was all that tha moat curious could learn about her. The lovely Mr*. Leigh was fond of baila, fond of the opera, enjoyed driv­ ing out. bad splendid taste in dress, and was altogether the loveliest woman in Paris. After some quiet observation they be­ gan to perceive that, although Mr. and Mrs, Ixrigh went to nearly every public ball, they were never at private ones. That although the carriage of "La belle Anglaise” was always surrounded by gentlemen, she had no laoy friends. Among their visitor* no ladies came. The pretty silver card basket was filled with cayd*. all belonging to gentlemen. One day *b« said to Sir Hulbert: "Yon know- a great many gentlemwi in Paris, Hulbert, but no ladies. How ia it that you have no lady friend*?" "It seems to me the most natural thing In the world, Irene. I do not know that I cared mnch about the society of Indira, until 1 saw you." She interrupted him. ’ "Major Camden, who waa.driving with you yesterday, said that his sister* were staying near here. I wish you would in­ troduce me to them.” Ho looked away from her, slightly con­ fused. "You would not care for them." he said. "They are very tiresome—quite old maids." "1 should not mind," she replied; "you do not know how strange it seems always to be with gentlemen, and to see no ladlea." "You cannot be lonely, Irene, when you have me,” he said, gently. “No, It is not thnt. I am not lonely, not at alh how could I be with you, Hul­ bert? It ia something quite different. Perhaps I want to discus the latest fash­ ions, or the prettiest bonnet. You could not talk about those little matters, could, you, Hulbert?" “I will talk about anything in the world that please* you." be replied; "but.it I were in yonr place I would try not to know the Misses Camden—they are both proud and disagreeable. Make yourself happy with me, my darling; never mind either the spinster*, matrons or maids; think ot me, and ot no one else.” They were sitting together one morning when tbe English mails came in; there were several letters Sir Hulbert read through quickly and laid aside. “I am not in the humor for letters this morning." bo said; "nor tor my news­ papers.” Irene answered laughingly: "Thin menus you are lacy and want me to read to you." “My clever little darting, you have guessed the exact truth," he replied. "I am laxy, and, above all, I should like the dearest voice iu tbe world to read to m*e all that is most amusing In the news­ papers." “1 understand," she replied. It was wonderful to see how quickly •be attended to all ‘hl* wants. Another few minutes, nnd tbe moait beautiful worn m in Paris sat by him, .one white hand lingering in the dark curls of his hair, the other holding the paper from which she read to him. There were sev­ eral amusing paragraphs, several tidbits of the week’s scandal, which were all a dead letter to her, then she said: “We arc informed that the Earl Gcrant, with hia lovely and accomplished daughter, the Lady Lira Gerant. intend ipeodlng the next few weeks in Paris." She read the word* clearly and distinct­ ly; to her they were the same ns any other; then she was startled by a low cry from his lipa. “I—I—I did not hear, Irene. Read that to me again. Earl—what—who? Read it again." Irene read It alowly, carefully, word for word. • Before she had quite finished be had risen from his comfortable lounging ehair. “What is the matter, Hulbert?" she asked, gently. “Do not read any more, Irene. Either I am irritable this morning, or I am not well; I cannot tell which." “You are never irritable," she answered. "Are you going out, Hulbert, and going alone, too?" He beat down and klsaed her. *T shall not be long, my darling. 1 am going out on buainess, or I would take you." He was absent some time. When he returned the sun bad set and the hotel lumps were lighted. He went to her room, where she was dressing for dinner. "You will make me play truant again if you give me such a warm welcome home, Irene," he said. She was so delighted to see him. He had never been absent from her so long before since the day In London when he had made her his wife. "I hare been very busy, Irene, and I have something to aay which will aston­ ish you. Shall yuu mind If 1 ask you to give orders for the pocking of your wardrobe,‘as I wish to start tor Italy to­ morrow?" "I will gladly do so if you wish it," she said: "but this is a very sudden reso­ lution, it not, Huibart?” . “Yea." he said; "I met someone thia morning who told me that Italy was look­ ing superb. If you Want violets from Parma, and roww from Mwlena, now is purchase a wedding dress for her. The purchaac did credit to his taste. He bought « pale gray costume of rich silk, and a pretty bonnet, withgray drooping plumes—a dress at once rich, quiet and tel. with a note from him. asking her to wear it on the morrow. He sent at tho same lime a beautiful bouquet of white and crimson flowers. After that it was all like a dream to her—the Jong, sleepless night, when drearns of home came to her, the slow waking, when tbe noise of the distant She could not nt first remember where she wm—rising and dressing, looking nt herself in her Dew dress with a startled, half-shy wonder, sitting down and trying to drink the warm, fragrant tea prepared' for her. For years afterward she remembered the fierce, wild beating ot her heart as the carriage drbve up to the door, and she heard the sound of her lover’s voice on the stairs. Her first 'bought, poor •‘Mother,’’ she cried, "you are among '•in; angels, and I am all alone. I am go­ ing to be married; send me a blessing from heaven; there was no eno to give, me one here." The next moment her lover was in the room, and everything was forgotten in the delight of seeing him. He was bewildered with surprise. Th? poet who sung that "beauty unadorned was adorned the most” made a mistake In this case. The costly, shining silk, the rich lace,' the drooping plumes made a wonderful difference** “My darling." he cried; "why, you look like a queen. Why do I say a queen? No queen ever looked so fair. How proud I am of you, my darling. All tbe world will envy me the possession of that taif-*1 am glad yon are pleased with me," she murmured. “Pleated,” be said, laughingly; "that is not the word, sweet; I am proud, I won­ der at my own for nine. For me life holds nothing, the world nothing half so fair. Pleased! why, my darling, can you not see that your beauty drives me mad?" The rest was like a dream to her—ex­ cept that she trembled with fear, with awe, with reverence. She remembered how Sir Hulbert, bolding her band with a loving clasp, led her -to lhe carriage; that, as they drove in silence through the sunlit streets, his arm was thrown round her, as though be defied death even to take her from him; that they drove fqr a long way until they rdeached a tall, gloomy house in the midst of a gloomy square. "It does not look like a clergyman's house," she said, and then woedered why his face grew so deadly pale. “You must not expect to see a country vicarage, covered with flowers,” he said. "Irene, throw this black cloak over your shoulders: I do not want everyone to know what is going.on: and, my darling, you do look so much like a bride. I be­ lieve you would look just the same, sweet, fair and blooming, if you were dressed in black crepe." "No, not quite the same," she said, drawing the black clonk round her shoul­ ders. "Where are my flowers? Ob. Sir Hulbert, give me my flowers; there they lie, on the seat. I could not be married without my beautiful flowers. Other girls have sisters and friends on their wedding day—I have none, save my flowers, and they seem to understand." “You have me. Irene," he sadi, half reproachfully. "What more do you want? You have me." For long years afterward she remem­ bered every detail of that scene.

ThouKht to Forestry. To awaken the farmed of the West to tbe need of raising trees the forestry di­ vision of the Agricultural Department has issued a bulletin showing that there profit in such work. It has been estimated that the tele­ graph lines of the country require nearly 00,000 new poles every year. The cost of tffese iu more than $1,000,000. It is also estlipated that there are more than (120,000,000 cross-ties in use by the rail­ roads, nnd that 90,000.000 ties are requir­ ed every year for renewals- Tbe tele­ phone and light companies use nearly as many pole* as the telegraph companies and the street car systems of the cities use nearly as many cross ties as th© steam railroads. The prices of pole and tie timber hav© gone up nearly 50 per cent in the last ten years. An expert on tbe tic question has given his opinion that in ten years more the prices of tie* would be 50 per rent greater than nt present. "No material has yet been found as a substitute for the wooden tie." says thia expert, "aud no satisfactory economical method of preserving tbe life of the j wood or prolonging its durability has yet been discovered; and, excepting 1h© minor questions of properly seasoning | aud piling, the use of the tie plate, auitaIde ballast and perfect drainage, and incidrotally dhnatic conditions, no scriona consideration of tbu futnre tie supply baa j yet been had.

A few yenrs ago there were few farmers who bad any faith in the efforts of .skilled experimenters to In­ duce them to conserve the moisture In the soli by a system of shallow culti­ vation during the summer. Oue by one they tried the plan, many of them in desperation during a season of drought, until now thousands have proved its great value. Fault growers are becoming Interested In the question aud realize that with fruits that aosorb Immense quantities of water from the soil It is Absolutely necessary that ev­ erything possible be done to keep Id the soil for foe use of the tree during the summer nil that Is possible of the water font falls during.the fall, whiter and spring. Nothing will accomplish tbls better than the system of surface ' culture during the summer. Then if this plan Is followed‘by a cover crop durfng the winter to be turned under In the spring, the trees have every In­ centive to thrive, provided, ot course, foe soli Is properly fertilized. A Humnnc Stanchion.

Tbls is the case with cotton seed lueal. If fed to the stock In small quantities together with roughage of almost any kind, it will be beneficial to the animals and still lose none ot its mannrial value.

Wlille It Is possible to do many things with artificial heat, all attempts to hasten activity on the part of the bees by artificial heat have proved failures —more, have been fatal to the colony. Promlnhnce is given this now In view of several Items going the round of the press advising the packing of. hives In stable manure to furnish the artificial heat In experiments brood rearing was hastened. It Is true, and more bees hatched, but they were weak, and suc­ cumbed to the weather when they left the hives, and many of the honey gath­ erers startcdyqnt earlier owing to.the artificial beat nnd never returned. The hives should, of course, be packed with some material so tbs/ the bees will not suffer during the winter, but all attempts to force them to gather honey before settled weather will re­ sult in disaster.

There Is no doubt that skim milk will bring the greatest returns when fed to laying hens, provided one can get twenty cents or more a dozen for winter eggs, ami If one fans but few hogs and many hens the latter should have the skhn milk by all means. On the other hand, it may 1>e fed to hogs with profit, and If fed with com meal will easily be worth twenty cents a hundredweight. The trouble Is that not one feeder in a hundred feels skim milk properly. It usually goesduto the trough at any time when convenient, and Is often mixed with other slop that Is not so clean, nnd it Is made to take the place of grain to some extent. Pigs In winter take a great deal of care, and one o? the greatest cares is to keep them in u dry, warm place. They must ta fed different feed from what they get in summer time. They do not require the same amount of feed In summer as in winter. Pastures in summer furnish very much of their feed. Feed and management have much to do with the health as well as thrifti­ ness ot stock.

The robber evidently hnd ■ dropped It In a hurried fight to his । refuge. The cuff wag turned over to the ex­ press company detectives. They found, after weeks of Inquiry, that the Indeli­ ble laundry marks were those of n Chinese laundry on Bush street. In I San Francisco. When the detacllve had learned from the Chinese laundryman that the marks on the cuff indi­ cated that It belonged to one Charles E. Bolton, a regular patron of the laundry, they set about to bunt up Mr. Bolton. It came out that Charles E. Bolton, who owned the cuff, was a quiet, unobtrusive, spare man of abour 50 years. He lived lu a modest and quiet boarding house, where sedate, old-fashioned business men had rooms, and everj' one there was bls friend. When a detective went to live In the same boarding house he found that Mr. Bolton was a studious man, lived a correct life, was a reader of new books, dabbled in poetry, and every few weeks went away to visit one of the several little mines about Califor­ nia in which he bad investments.

It does not occur to them that any one may take a further mean­ fug than they have meant, or that any part of It will be taken seriously. It Is unavoidable, however, that this is so.

They went to the Hotel San Marco, where several English people of rank and fortune were staying.Sir Hulbert looked down the list ofc vis­ itarc* names, then entered his—Mr. and MM. Leigh.

"Shall we join the table d’hote?” asked Sir Hulbert, of his fair young wife. “It will Im- more cheerful, bTu not so dlgni-’ find.” . "I shall like it best.” she replied. Ono week passed happily enough; they drove round the beautiful environs of fair Florence; they visited the picture galleries, the palaces, the gardens nnd one evening, when dinner was over, and ' they were sitting ou the broad terrace that overlooked the "A/no, a party o(, English people arrived—Lord and Lady Glendayer, with their three tall, gaunt daughters. .The whole party came' upon the terrace' and before Sir Hulbert had time even to look around.

In his laud, cheery voice. “I did not anticipate the pleasure of seeing you here.” The handsome face grew dark with annoyance nnd pale with passion. “I beg yopr pardon," he said, quickly, “I have not had the honor of knowing you."

"You are altogether mistaken." said the baronet. “I am Mr. Ix-igh." "Nay, I cannot surely Im? mistaken.” said Lord Glendayer. “We sat talking for half an hour about the income tax. I cannot lie mistaken." “Then if you are not mistaken. I do not know my own name.” Mid Sir Hulbert, haughtily.- “X hope to be believed when I insist that I am Mr. Leigh.” Lord Glendayer bowed and retired; the conversation had been quite public, but did not excite much comment. “Mistak­ en identity.” people said, as they smiled at each other, “and really some of these good English do resemble each other so much.” “Did he really know you. Hulbert?" said Irene, “just as he said he did?" replied. "Why did you not tell him the truth?’ she asked. "I could not. I must have introduced you.” "And why not, rather than offend an old friend?" she asked. . "He is pot an old friend; and no one knows, sweet, bettar than you, that I cannot Introduce you as my wife nt pres­ ent.” That seemed plausible enough, but Irene was going up the grand staircase alone that owning when Miss Glendayer, a lady vf strong character and rather passee appearance, passed her by.

NATION’8 ROYAL GUefn Kaiser’s Brother Receives Hearty Greeting as He Reaches New York. Prince Henry, brother of the German Emp<4or, accompanied by a brilliant staff ot officers high in rank in the German army and navy, is now a guest of the United States. The prince arrived on the steamer Kronjrinz Wilhelm nt New Y’ock shortly before noon Sunday. His official welcome, which began with the firing of salutes by Fort Wadsworth and Fort Hamilton, the boarding the Kronprinz off Fort Wadsworth by Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans and his staff, and salutes of twenty-one guns each from the battleship Illinois and the cruisers Olympia, Cincinnati and San Francisco, was continued after the prince boarded the royal yacht Hohenzollern by a series of official calls from Mayor Low, Admiral Barker and his staff, Gen. Brooke and staff, and the German ambassador and staff. . Events followed swirtiy once the steam­ er bringing Prince Henry how In sight. In due time the special representative of President Roosevelt boarded the Kronprinz Wilhelm and offered the nation's welcome. Then the nary, army and city of New York representatives did likewise for their respective constituents. Prinde Henry landed and went aboard the Kais­ er’s imperial yacht, the Hohenzollern. Later he returned the calls of hla visitors, in the course of which be went aboard the battleship Illinois. Great crowds were ou hand to greet the arrival of Prince Henry, but few persona caught more than n glimpse of him w hen the Kronprinz Wilhelm tied up at die landing. Militiamen and police kept the crowd fa? back. Piers and all ships in the harbor were^ay with flags and bun»In? Ing and there were American bands in numerous places. These played German airs. Aboard the Kronprinz Wilhelm was the crack German band and this played “The Star-Spangled Banner" and other patriotic American airs as the big liner plowed Its way through the harbor. The wharves were lined with thousands of shouting Americans in gala day dress. The unofficial welcome, although unac­ companied by gold lace and the roar of cannon, was none the less sincere and ap­ parently was quite as much appreciated by the distinguished visitor as were the more perfunctory ceremonies. The popular welcome began with the tooting of tug and steamboat whistiw far down the lower bay when the huge Kronprinz first loomed in shadowy out­ line out of the mist that hung over the water. The liner had arrived at the bar at 8:30 a. m. The whistle blowing continued in in­ creasing volume all the way up the bay and the North river, and on the final home stretch from the Battery to the pier was accompanied by the shouts and cheera of thousands upon thousands of people, who swarmed along the sea walla and on every pier lead on both sides of the river. Standing alone, erect and clear cut in hie handsome uniform of an admiral, on the extreme end of the ship’s bridge, the prince returned these greetings by repeat­ edly touching bis hat. The thread of events as planned was taken up Sunday by the prince's depart­ ure at midnight for Washington, and with no ill luck to prevent will be carried out to the letter until his departure for Germany. .'

The feature of the day was a speech.by Mr. Richardson (Ala.) in reply to Mr. Corliss’ speech a few days ago in favor of the construction ot a Pa­ cific cable by the government.

Thc Supreme Court has refused to al­ low the State vf Minnesota to file a bill of complaint against the Northern Secur­ ities Company. The court is of the opin­ ion that-it has not original jurisdiction. The Slate must begin its suit in the low­ er courts. Il .follow*- therefore, that there is not to be a speedy determination of the question which tbe State of Min­ nesota is anxious to have passed on. That question is whether the laws of the State forbidding the consolidation of competing roads can be practically set at naught throurft the machinery of a corporation organized under the laws of another State. The question which the Attorney General of the United States will raise in the suit soon to be insti­ tuted by him is whether the Northern Securities Company docs not come under that’provision of the anti-trust law which declares unlawful all combinations in re­ straint of trade. The Supreme Court has decided that under the law al! agree­ ments in restraint of trade, even though not in unreasonable restraint of trade, are unlawful. Attorney General Wallace B. Douglas of Minnesota started the proceeding* Jan. 7. when he filed a bill of complaint in the case asking tbe Supreme Court to grant an injunction against the merger interests.

As soon as ths plans arc 'completed and approved blds for building will be advertised for and every effort made to get the work commenced at the earliest possible moment/ .

Prices were forced lower on wheat and com during the January break, but May oats did not get so low. In the later trading the losses were regained, but top prices did not hold, and wheat closed at a net loss of 1 cent, but corn gained %c and May oats l%e and July %c. The recovery in wheat was due to a crop scare, and in corn and oat* to covering by shorts, induced by lighter western offerings. Wbekt traders are now watching the weather and crop reports, as they are the influential factors in the West. With the price below 80 cents there is not the incentive for tbe bear to get short at this season, and the bull has not explicit con­ fidence in his ability to carry the market upward. There has not been growing weather enough tn make it possible for any one to tell definitely about the crop.

A good part of the offerings were tnken by the glu­ cose and distilling Interests. The cash demand from abroad and from the East was disappointing.

Take* His Own Elfe. Woodstock. Ill., was thrown into a frenzy of excitement about 0:30 o'clock Friday morning by one of the most start­ ling1 double murders and suicides which has occurred in northern Illinois in years. Jealous ot the attentions ot an old mon to his wife, a husband entered the room in which his wife and Anderson were and, with a revolver opened fire. Not to be killed without a struggle, the aged victim closed with his antago­ nist, und in a desperate hand-to-hand en­ counter was finally compelled to succumb to the *uperior strength of bi* younger opponent. One hole back ‘of the left ear told the story ot the death of tbe wife, while a bullet in the left temple showed how the husband had taken hi* life. A •on. 20 years of age. the only surviving member of the household, is under arrest charged with complicity in the affair. Benjamlc^F. Ellsworth wns a well-todo business man of Woodstock, owner of a large machine shop. Mrs. Ellsworth was a prominent society lady of Woodstock. Amos Anderson was 77 year* old. He was before retiring largely in­ terested in farm lands nnd was consid­ ered to be the wealthiest man in Wood•tock. • Something over a year ago he went to board at tbe Ellsworth home. He had been on very friendly terms with the fam­ ily for year* nnd it was with the idea of making his declining years ones of happi­ ness that Mr. nnd Mrs. Ellsworth naked him to come and live at their home. It is said by intimate friends of the parties that therp wns no cause whatever for the husfiand's jealousy. As to Ellsworth himself, old residents of the town assert that be had a heredi­ tary taint for the shedding of blood. It is recalled that his fnther, enraged over a discussion with his bird man, seized a shotgun, blew out tbe man'* brain* and then killed himself.

Dehorning Cows and Calves. There has always been more or less argument over the question of dehorn­ ing. and while It may lie admitted that the process Is painful, and. In tbe case of an adult animal, causes a shock to the nervous systenr. It Is not at all like­ ly that the yoting calf suffers more than momentary pain, nnd the process certainly does not Injure the anlmnl In. any way. The process of preventing tbe growth of tbe horns on the young calf Is to take the animal when it Is three or four weeks old. and after lo­ cating the embryo horn with the Unger, rub the spot for a minute or two, or until It gets quite red, with a stick of caustic potash, which may be bought at any drug store. The potash should be moistened slightly, but, not enough so that It will run, for It will take off the hair wherever it touches It. Wrap the end held In the hand with a cloth, to prevent burning the hand. The -work is quickly done, and if thoroughly done, the horns will not grow. It Is generally considered that the age named—about a month—Is nearer the right time than earlier, and the work should never be attempted with potash after the calf is six or eight weeks old or after the button has assumed much prominence.

What is .there in the paper worth al! this tra­ gedy?" She laid it Iiefore him, and pointed out the paragraph.

The wife asked her husband If he knew the dark, proud lady with tho diamond star iu her hair. “Yes,” he answered, "all' London. I should say, know* her. for she ia con­ sidered the most beautiful woman In It." "Who is ■he?" repeated the good wife. "Her name is Lady Lira Gerant, and 'sh^uia the-daughter 'of the famous Earl Gerant. the great politician." "Wfc> is the gentleman with her?” ask­ ed the daughter, and then Irene hardly breathed as she heard the answer. "I Jo not remeffibcr his name," was the slow, measured reply. "He h» • a baronet, and a wealthy one. I have often aeen him with her; he is to marry her next spring.” "And a very handsome pair they will be." interrupted the wife. Her words gave Irene one keen, sudden shock; the yottflg face hidden by the dark veil lost all its color, then she could have laughed aland. Marry her next spring. Vilest nonsense! Why. she herself was his wife! How Sir Hulbert would have laughed had he heard them. He to marry Lady Lira—he, who had already married her. .Mid, even as she sat there, in that crowded theater, with tho great sensa­ tional play of the day on the stage be­ fore her, she was thinking of the gloomy room wherein she was married, and the strange minister who had married her. #and «he woke from what was a trance "of piemorj' with those words ringing iu her ears: "He is to marry her next spring." What nonsense! Next spring, in all probabilily. their marriagtf would be made pub­ lic. and she should be known as Lady Estmere. • CHAPTER IX. • There came a morning which Irene never forgot—a balmy, lovely morning in September; the-sky was as blue as that of Italy, and the green earth smiled in the sun’aiwarm rays. Tbe beautiful morning air cheered her, and she hoped in, her beart'that Sir Hulbert would come home on that day. The newspaper lay on the table: it was one that she had chosen herself. because it contained more news of the upper ten thousand than any oth­ er. Carelessly, nnd without a thought of what lay before her, she opened, it. She read how tbe Duke of Sommerston had to the MlwtVr moors: hdw Ixard num and U.U gone »v Lady Hegis were at Cannes, how the* Marchioness of Brenx^ad.gone-to Italy, Suddenly her fair young’Tace grew color­ less, the very sight seemed to die from "Approaching Marriage in High Life. —We learn that active preparations are now being-made for the marriage of the Lady Lira Gerant. The noble bridegroom, Sir Hulbert Estmcre, has intrusted to Messrs. Hcnden &. Son the task of redec­ orating his magnificent mansion, the Mere. It is expected that the marriage will take place in February." She read and re-read; she read with laughter and with tears. Whaj, nonsense —what utterly ernel nonsense. How wife? It must be stopped, though, this cruel report, which was so doubly cruel to her, his wife. When she had heard it in tbe theater she had thought of it merely as gossip iiml baseless rumor. This was different; this paragraph in n fashionable paper, who had inserted that paragraph, and bow had they dared to say so much that was not true? What would Sir Hulbert say? What would Lady Lira say? She find heard before how cardess those journal* were, but surely this was something more than Then fur K>m« ing at each other. “Well," he cried, half Impatiently, "say what you have to say, Irene." "What does this mean?” she asked. "My dear,, if I tried to. explain, or even to uudcratand all that newspapers oy, 1 should never have finished." “Hulbert, you must speak earoeitiy to me: n light word-jar* on me. I wafit to know what right any journal ha*-to pub­ lish such n thing of a man who is al­ ready married." "My dear Irene, they will publish any­ thing; the difficulty with them is to know what not to publish." "You must write and contradict it," she said, imperiously. “I should be very sorry," he said, laughingly; “it is not worth the trouble." "It is u question of my honor,” she said. "A quwrtion of nonsense," he replied. "You know quite well that there is not a marriageable man in England of whom they do not say the same thing.” "But that is circumstantial; it enters into detail. Is it true that Hcnden & Son have received orders to decorate the Merer “Yes," he answered, “several weeks since; that is true enough." "And it is for me, for yon to take me home there, is it not, Hulhgrt?” There was something of sharp anguish in her voice that touched him. and he turned to her with a caressing gesture of his band. "No," she cried; "do not touch me; make this clear to me—tell mq how you will contradict it. Must n lie like this —a lie tBtt involves my honor—go abroad to all the world without contradiction?" "My dear Irene, do not be so very im­ petuous. 1 am very pegient, as a rule, but 1 cannot stand loo much impetu­ osity.” “You do not seem to remember that it is a matter of life or death fur me,” she cried. "You are my busband. I am your wife. How, then, du they dare to circu­ late this .story that you are to marry an­ other woman?’ The sweet voice thrilled with’pain, but did not falter; the beautiful face flushed with fire nnd indignation; he saw that she was io no mood to be trifled with.

"Hulbert, have you ever loved .this Lady Lira?” "You are the only woman I have ever loved, and you know it. Irene," he re­ plied. "Why have they connected the name with yours?" she asked. "Why, if there t>e no reason for it, should they say that you arc going to marry her rather than anyone else?"

"What if I decline .any at these steps, Irene?" he asked. "Then I shall take mengnres to defend myself,” she replied. He laughed; and there was enough of a surer In his laugh to rogse all the pride and anger within her. "What would you do?* ne asked. “Write to the editor first of ail, then to Lady Gerant."

Taft told the House committee on insular affairs that slavery in the Phil­ ippine Islands was so thoroughly ingrain­ ed that it would require much time and cure to eradicate it. A majority of the slaves are held for debt. Until they can buy their liberty the obligation runs from gtencrrftion to generation.

Her eyes saw, too, tbe light that flashed from tbe eyes of the girl 'to those in the fac-'.pf tbe man opposite her, and she noted the(perfect understanding that ex­ isted between them. "A scene like that makes one feel that th* river is the only place for people like us— doesn’t it?” Ralston asked. “What a pic­ ture I could make out of it, though, if there were light enough.” “It isn’t the lack of things that money will buy that makes me so bitter,” Ralston went ofi, “it’s having to do without other* that ar* beyond the power of wealth to pur­ chase and yet are made unattainable by poverty; peace of mind and—arid lov«.” Hi* companion did not reply.

"What a handsome man WHUaia," Ral» The Christine nt his side glanced up at him. He did not need to envy any man his good looks, she thought. He was quite m handsome m the one the ether Christine loved, and his face held, besides, something higher and finer. “I don’t envy him his bonaes, nor his yachts, nor his money,” Ratetoa’s shabbilygloved bands dosed tightly over two points in the iron railing before him; “but it's not fair that he should be tree to make the woman he loves his wife, while I—one can­ not invite a woman to share nothing.” The bit ternws in the man's tone was intense. The girl at his side grasped tbe railing also, trembling convulsively for support. Twice she opened her lips to speak before she finally said: "Not if she already has—nothing.” "Christine!’’ All the love in the man’s heart and the pent up feeling of the last hour were in that paasioaate cry. Christine crept elose to him and laid her hand upon hi* arm, and for awhile neither spoke. Love could not warm the icy air or still the piercing wind, but it could make them forget both. “Look!” cried Ralston, pointing to the other two, whom they had forgotten; "they be our tout, too.” He moved back a step and lifted his empty hand with a flourish, u if it held a brimming glass. “To love," he cried, “love that robs wealth of its monotopy, poverty of it* sting; love that brings happiness to rich and poor alike.” Christine imitated his gestures, laughing softly. "Come," said Ralston, drawing her band within hie arm; “I must take you home; it is beginning to snow.” But tbe girl lingered tn take * last look at th* picture inside the gorgeous dining­ room. She was comparing, lor the second time that night, her lot with that of the oth­ er Christine. Her eyes sought the num st the table, then the one at her side? No, she did not envy the rich woman her lover. She meas­ ured the ea*e and luxury of the other’s life with the poverty that fell to herohare, but her heart did not falter at the contrast. Were not tbe love she gave and th* love that wu given her both sweeter, tenderer, be­ cause of the things they must compensate for? Lastly, she looked it tbe other Chris­ tine’s shimmering gown and flashing jew­ els. They were desirable, surely, and yet —to be loved without them! A smile was on Christine’s face as she turned away from Jhe window and the pictional Magazine. The origin of the word m applied to cam­ paign speakers is traced to Gen. George Sheridan, who died some six years ago. In the Harrison campaign of 1888 Sheridan was the star orator among the speakers on the list of the republican national commit­ tee. Sheridan was one of the spellbinders in the organization of campaign orators formed after the election of Gen. Harri- president, and a banquet was given for the speakers. Used to oratory, the speakers enjoyed the mental feast that followed. When the speaking began, orators told what they had- done; how they had talked to hostile arowds and won votes. When it was Sheridan's turn to talk ha jollied them. He told of the good work they had done; he reviewed their talks at tbe until some ona took the bait and adud: “And, general, what did you do?” '’Do?” replied Sheridan. “Do?" and he looked about him. “What did I do?

Farmers’ Voice. The AnjmruKUit Bed. Early Puritan Potato. We believe In mowing the asparagus bed In the fnll and burning It over to destroy the beetles, eggs and rust that may be' there. Others who have grown much more of It than we have prefer to-have •'the old stalks remain until spring, as helping to hold the snow on Che bed. But In either case we would rut out and carry away all the seed­ bearing plants before the seed begun to fall. The little seedlings In the old bed are no better than as many weeds. If seedlings are wanted to set a new bed. cut the stalks when the seed is nearly ripe, nnd hang them up to ripen, and sow the seed In a new bed from 1 which It may be transplanted nt n year old. We like good yearling plants bet­ ter than two year-olds.—New England Fanner. As a rule the early potato crop Is the profitable one. although the past sea­ son good money was made from late potatoes, and especially if the $est ta­ ble varieties‘were grown. The Early Puritan, one of the uew* varieties, has been tested In different potato sections sufficiently ‘to prove Its merit. Tbe skin is nearly white, most early sorts of value having a pink skin. In flavor The Coro Breeder. - • Com-bre#rllng has become a special­ ized industry. The field for this branch of farming Is very great, us is shown by the fact that the corn growers of Illinois alone use over 1.000,000 bush­ els of seed every year. Of course it is not necessary that lids seed i»e secured from the breeder fresh every year, hut seed will not as a rule remain pure more than fdur or live years. It then becomes necessary to again secure well-bred seed. As yet the demand has been but little developed. Farmers are just beginning to realize the import­ ance and benefit of Improved seed, but even now corn breeders are not able to supply the demand. That this demand will Increase far beyond th? capacity of corn breeders to supply there is no doubt—A. D. Shame!, in Orange Judd Farmer. Safety Milk Pail. Many a pail of milk has been lost by a kick from the cow just as the task ■of milking her was about finished and many a stray bit of dirt falls Into the open pall If the farmer is not ex­ tremely careful In his labors. John Heustis—Klug. of Garrity. Ala., be­ lieves that the pall he has just de­ safetv pail. signed will save the milk In case of-an upset pall and also prevent the gathering of Impuri­ ties. In the picture the details of construc­ tion of this Improved pall are shown. The top of the'pa II has a screw-thread­ ed flange, to which a receiving bowl Is secured by a similar flange. In the center of this bowl is a strainer, and below the strainer is an open frame in which Is placed a loose cong corre­ sponding In shape to the under side of the strainer. As soon ns the pail Is tipped over tbe flow of tbe milk toward the strainer seals the cone and effectu­ ally closes the outlet until the pail is righted again. the variety Is first-class and the tuber cooks well, being dry and mealy, anoth­ er point hard to find ao-ong early sorts. It is a good keeper also. Setting Strawberry Plants. Cigars TAGS AND'FLORODORA BANDS ARE OFEQUAL VALUE AND MAY BE ASSORTED. Bavarian Hopn.

He could see in that faint light that she had changed very much; she bad grown taller, she was dressed with great elegance. He was struck mute and dumb by her marvelous and exquisite loveliness. His daughter Irene. Great heaven! were the evening shadows playing him false, or what was it? Nearer and nearer she drew; and then by the faint light from the goldetr clouds h« saw that her face was white with some terrible- mental pain. Hia great honest heart went out to her. “My darling, my darling," he .cried, with outstretched arms! “oh, my darling, have you come back to me at last?’ She looked up, and the pale face quiv­ ered with pain. . “I knew you would, welcome me, papa; but before you take ma to your heart, before you kiss me, let me tell you what has happened." “Tell me the worst, Irene," he cried; "suspense kills me. You—you have a wedding ring on your finger, child; there cun be nothing wrong.” “Listen, papa,” she said. "Nay, do not fear to kiss me, do not fear to take ipc to your heart. I have not sinned—I have been ainnerf again. ' Before earth and heaveq. before man nnd before heaven, I stand erect and refuse to own that I have done wrong, or that the crime of a traitor has touched me." "What is it, my child? Had he been married before? Is there another wife? What ia itf She went up to him and laid her hand, which bore the wedding ring, on bls shoulder; ahe raised her white, proud, pained face to his. “I will tell you.” she ssid. “The man whom I loved with all my heart was a traitor—a traitor—and you know all that word means. Ho wooed me, he won all my love; then he asked me to leave home and marry him. If he had asked me to go with him to the depth of the sea. the fire of the southern desert, I should have gone. He asked me to be his wife." A great sigh of relief came from San­ ton Darcy. "Thank heaven!" he cried. “I feared there was no marriage." "Listen," said Irene. "He took me straight to London and to the place where we were to be married. Father, tbe marriage was a mock marriage, the minister a mock minister. It was a blas­ phemous farce played to deceive me; and now he lias told me the truth—I am Dot bls wife.” • ••••• • One by one Irene resumed her duties In her old home; between her father and herself there was no further mention made of the one subject that failed both tbelr minds. Snnton Darcy went on with his painting. Irene resumed the occupa­ tions of every-day life, and for a short time all was peace; but she drooped hour by hour; her very soul seemed to fade. She could not bear it, thii constant open­ ing of the old wounds; every spot was eloquent of him—every tree, every green lane, every field, every nook had some legend of him. She bore Jt until she could bear it no longer, until tbe paiu of it Kraned to have eaten her heart away.

The audience that crowded the ■hall and had been stirred by his words was not at once clear as to what had happened, for tbe ex-Governor was not visible to those in tbe body of the house when he toppled over into unconscious­ ness.

I*ord Roberts, tomtnander-in-chief of'the army, and who had many important successes while iu command in South Africa, made a speech and eulogized Methuen’s "suc­ cess throughout the war.” Tbe scene of the battle between Meth­ uen and Delarey is Id the southwestern part of the Transvaal, In tbe vicinity of Mafeklng. Methuen's starting point, Wynburg. is in the Orange Free State, and his destination. Lichtenburg, is in. the Transvaal, not many miles fron> Mafeking. Methuen had nearly complet­ ed his march of more than 100 mileswhen the Boers stopped him. General Methuen'a Career. Lord Paul Methuen has long been credited with being one of tbe best tac­ ticians in the armf. Early in the South' African war be was given command of tbe division of the British army which, started to the relief of Kimberley and Mafeking. He met with fair success until he struck thjj Modder river, where thefnmous Boer general, Cronje, was wait­ ing for him. The battle of Magersfonteiu followed and resulted in a virtual de­ feat for tbe British, for their advance was checked. The British loss in this battle was one of the heaviest of the war. Gen. Wauchope was among tbe killed. Earl Roberts relieved Methuen. His de­ feat of Cronje nnd the surrender of the Boer leader made Roberts’ famous march to Bloemfontein and Pretoria possible. Gen. Methuen returned to Englund, but tfter a rest be returned to the field and ■as since commanded a small division un­ der Lord Kitchener. Commandant Delarey. next to De Wat, is one of the best of the Boer fighters. Delarey issued a proclamation last falL following close on the heels of one issued by Lord Kitchener, in which the latter called on all Boers to surrender by Sept. 15. Delarey's pronunciamento was brief. He called on tbe Boers to disregard Kitchener’s threats and fight to tbe end. ANTI-TRUST LAW VOID. Supreme Court Declares Illiuoia Stat­ ute Unconstitutional. The United States Supreme Court hao­ handed down a decision holding that tbe Illinois antitrust statute is unconstitu­ tional. It is stated in the decision that the law Is void because of the provision exempting agricultural products and l)ve stock. X This decision is of the utmost interest, not only to tbe people of Illinois, but tc> corporatioDs which desire to do busines* in the Stnte. The judgment was render­ ed in the case of Thomas Connelly and others against the Union Sewer Pipe Company of Ohio, nnd was delivered by Justice Harlaa. Outside of tbe Texas statute tbe Illi­ nois antl-trutt law has been tbe most stringent In the country nnd many corpo­ rations have moved headquarters to oth­ er States to avoid it. Hundreds of cases are in the courts against corporations for tailing to comply with various provisions of the anti-trust statute, and these cases will be affected by tbe decision. Tbe decision of tbe Supreme Court up­ holds an opinion banded down by Judge Kohlssst in January, 1900. The Illinois jurist based bis opinion on the same ground ns the higher court, taking excep­ tion to tbe section which exempts trona its provisions the agriculturist and stock, raiser. Judge Kohlsaat held that the statute was tainted with dans and spe­ cial legislation and was iu contravention. of both the federal and State constitu­ tions. In his decision the judge refused to, confine his finding to the clause in> question, but placed the ban on the entireact, which is known as the Illinois anti­ trust law of 1883. f The objectionable part of the law to Judge Kohlsaat and the Supreme Court la section 9. which contains these words: “The provisions of this act shall aofi ap­ ply to agricultural products or. live stock while in the bands of the producer or raiser." Judge Kohlsaat held that thia­ clause rerfdered the whole act void. Notea of Current Event*. Influenza epidemic in London. Greenville, Mias., was scorched for $100,060.

Lamoreaux ■ and Mrs. John Bahs, died Saturday, March 22, of nephritis after an illness of several week's duration. LiUis Gaylord was not quite two years old and the only son. He was bright and cheerful, endeared alike to all members of the family, and a great future had been planned for him by his sorrowing parents. But when as­ sailed by ruthless disease the little frame had to yield; the Angel of Death came and took him to an abiding place more congenial to such a pure and inocent life. The funeral was held from the Castle­ ton Center school house, Tuesday, March 25, at 10 a. m., Rev. D. J. Feather officiating. The interment waa in Lake view cemetery.

The association will help the farmer* to prosecute all trespass­ ers and violators of the law who do them damage by tearing down fences, stonepiles, shooting at or intentional­ ly frightening stock, etc. It is the in­ tention to have in the association only such men a* believe the law* should be enforced and are willing to assist in seeing this done. The association is organized for that purpose, and that will be ita prime object.

Many / curious customs are / attached to the day. f not the least promi­ ’ neat of which is the K-ivjng. of eggs; The ~^*r Peraian* were accus­ tomed to giro eggs on New Year's, while the Romans indulged in egg games in honor of Castor and Pollux, who were •aid to have been hatched from a swan's •egg. Eggs were deftly colored by the ■Persians, who used their celebrated dyes to great effect for this purpose. Later they learned to write upon the eggs'with • greased stick, a custom still employed by our.Indian tribes., In France, before Eastertide, tbe priests began their rounds of visits, blessing and receiving eggs in return. The largest of these were selected and •ent as a tribute to tbe King. After high onaas in the Louvre, highly gilded and idled in pyramids, tbe eggs were carried Into the royal presence. Then haring • been blessed by the chaplain, they were ■distributed among the people. In Italy the same custom was employed. In Bunlt Easter is “at home day,” as New Year's is with us, and every man •carries about a geqerous supply of hard’boiled eggs.

There were eightwn in the consignment and they were on their way from the Pbilippin^s to the soldiers' hospital at Washington. Everyone «>f the eighteen was violently and incurably insane.

Needed rains in the Southwest made the market look more favorable for the next crop.

Charles Frauds Wpodward, the pw. dcrer of Sheriff William C. Ricker; who was aenteuced to be banged at Casper, Wyo., the other day, but was granted a reprieve, was lynched by a mob of 200 men. An organization was formed dur­ ing the night, and crowds began to gather in the vicinity of tbe jail early in the evening. About 3 o’clock the mob descended on the prisop and the leaders demanded the keys from the sheriff. He refused to give them up and the crowd got hammers anil beat down the door. Once inside tbe jail a rope was thrown around Woodward’s neck and he was dragged from the building, taken a block away and hangtfd to a tree. Less than half an hour was occupied with the hang­ ing. Woodward attempted to talkrtp the leaders, bur they refused to hear him. An immense crowd saw thy lynching. After the lynching the mob dispersed and the majority of those from out of town left for their homes. The crime for which Charles Francis Woodward paid the’i»enairy with bis life was committed the evening of Jan. 2 at Woodward's ranch, near Garfield Park, in the Rattlesnake Mountains,' seventy-five miles west of Casper, when he shot to death and mu­ tilated the body of Sheriff William C. Ricker of Natrona County. KILLS NEIGHBOR'S WIFE. Consideration of the oleomargarine bill was begun in the Senate on Monday..

Cuba, sentenced Cuba; K upon tbb estabhshraent of »x id guveratnent to leave the government and control of the Island of Cuba to. Its people. From tbe evidence submitted at the trial it seems that the beginning of the fraud was in the destruction of the sur­ charged stamps. Wln-a the United States assumed control of the Cuban govern­ ment there were no postage stamps. Unit­ ed States stamps, with the word “Cuba” printcdutcross them, were hurried to Ha­ vana, and it was not until -the fall of 1.899 that Cubafi stamps of special design ifrere issued. Then Neely suggested to Bathbone that It wpuld be cheaper to burn the old stock ‘of stamps on hand than to ship them to Washington. Rathbone consented,' and Neely and Reeves, with much ostentation ■ and at different times, burned packages containing more than half a million dol­ lars* worth of stamps. Neely was then credited o^hia books with the amount. Investigation later disclosed the fact that he had “held out” $1(X).813 worth of stamps, thus enabling himself to’pocket that much from the Cuban revenues and mill keep his books balanced. How Fnnd» Were Juggled. Rathbone and Reeves shared in the di­ vision of the plunder. Other devices were worked, including duplicated salary war­ rants. Funds were juggled in transfer from one divisira to another. Rathbone’s personal and household expenses were paid out of the Cuban revenues. He ■pent $3,582 on furniture for his “official residence” and $2,448 for plumbing and gas fixtures. He spent on his horses, car-' riages, coachmen and footmen $4,449. He drew $9,000 in double salary warrants. The total amount suspended in his ac­ count reached $79,937. When the discovery of the frauilsTould qo longer be concealed Neely camo to tbe United States. His arrest followed at Rochester, N. Y., on May 8, 1900. Rathbone and Reeves were not arrest­ ed for some months afterwards. During the trial it waa brought out that a campaign was on foot for the appoint­ ment of Rathbone as civil governor of Cuba, while Neely was to be named as treasurer and Rj-eves auditor. Beeves turned State’s evidence at the trial and it was largely by his testimony that all three were convicted. GERONIMO, THE APACHE. Tbe Broken Old Warrior May Be Given Cftizsnsbip.

Dwelken married Mary Vordtrorm in Marshall twenty-live years ago. The wife's father and sister made their home with tbe newly, married cou­ ple. Lori*, the sister-in-law, was then 17 years old and a beautiful girl. Soon after her marriage Mr*. Dwelkeu’s health failed and she lost her girlish beauty and ttractivencss. One day she discovered at her husband and her stater had be­ come infatuated with one another. With rare charily of spirit, she forgave them both and offered to go away and get a divorce that they might be married. Dwelken. however, broken with 'contri­ tion and pity for his wife, refused to do so. On her part-she refused to send her sister nnd father away; as they bad no other home to go to. The family left Marshall and nothing was heard of them for several years. .Then it was learned that they were living in Salt River, and that Loria was publicly recognized as Dwelkeu’s wife, while Mary was known as the maiden sister. Soon after remov­ ing to Salt River Mary Dwelken was taken seriously ill. -, Believing that she was on her deathbed, she forced n prom­ ise from her husband to marry her sis­ ter. To the surprise of everyone she re­ covered, but she compelled her husband to keep his promise made to imr while he thought she was dyliig. A divpree was secured and the younger sister took the elder's place. ’ Vital Organs Stuck Tojiclher by Gam. Among the singular revelation* of the surgeon’s knife, those involved in tbe case of Matildn Ward of Ross township would appear to be entitled to a Conspicuous piece. Mias Ward is 22 years of age nnd for many mouths had been suffering from what the physicians claimed to be acute Indigestion. Many remedies were tried without relief, nnd as a last resort, a surgical operation was resorted to. This developed the fact tnat the vital organs were apparently uniting or growing to­ gether. Closer observation on the part of the aurgeoiy established the oilier fact that some foreign substance was housing the adhesion and, upon critical investiga­ tion this substance was ascertained to be chewing gum. of which Miss' Ward had been a constant consumer for a period of eighteen years and which had gradually accumulated with tbe result set forth.

Keep the Sheep Undisturbed. No calves, hogs, colts or other stock should be allowed to run with the sheep flock, or in any way annoy or scare them, when in their lot at night, or even anywhere, says the New York Farmer.

Do you not think it would be ' wiser to be friend*’!1" “No, i do not,” she replied, curtly. “Do yon doc think that, if you tried —if you made a despetutc effort—you could forgive me?' “I forgive you?* Oh. never! If you lay dying and aaked me to forgive you I would Dot." •‘But, Irene," he said, bent .upon mak­ ing some impression «u her, “what will people think of they sec us on these bad terms? They will suspect instantly that there is something between us. I am no coward. Fighting a duel would not dis­ tress me; a blow from an enemy would rouse me to give back another. I am not a coward, for I fear no man. My arm is strong, and I know haw. to use it. You have told me that your father aud hus­ band intend to slay me if they find me out. Now, could you go a surer way to point me out to them than by showing them on what evil terms you stand with me?" The truth of the words struck her nt once. Naturally chough, if the duke and her father saw her showing any great re­ sentment against any ono man they would at once suspect him. If she wish­ ed to keep him from the most terrible fate, and keep her vengeance in her own hand, she must not show what she really thought of him. “I see.” she said, slowly, "you are right. If I show'to you outwanily the hatred, scorn, the contempt that T feel, it will draw suspicion upon you.- I will be so .far wise that I will refrain from that; but remember, between us .there is no peace—between ua there is war to .he knlf.e." CHAPTER XIX. There came a .change over the young duchess. Sue had never been Kay or frivolous, but she had*’ taken a vital In­ terest in all that surrounded her; she had been a leader In all the gayeties of the nelghborhodd; her beautiful face had been alive with eloquence. But now she seemed abstracted; she was always deep­ ly engrossed in thought; if anyone sud-denly entered a room she started as though aroused from sleep. The expres­ sion of her face changed to one of deep study and profound thought. "How- am I to strike the heart of a man who has no heart?" she asked her­ self in despair. The only tiling that could make him suffer would be the Joss of fortune, the loss of the means he en­ joyed for th<; purchasing of all'his pleas­ ures that might hurt him; the loss of po­ sition might be n keen blow to him, but then he had his wife's fortune to fall back on. and Lord Gerant was known to be rich; if he lost bis own position, he had always the position that being son-in­ law to an earh;would give him; neither loss of fortune nor position would punish him as she desired. What should her vengeance be? Yet think as she would, the great won­ der of her life remained a puzzle still. She had sworn to ’.be avenged, and she could find no method of vengeance. “I will think over it. until I do man­ age it." she said to ’herself. Aud these wwrds encouraged her until she reached Ixmdon, when the season began—the sea­ son of which she was to be the queen. One evening as she sat at the opera, her eyes glancing indifferently round the hsuse, lingered on a face that was ter­ ribly familiar to hen—the face of Vane Forrester. Her fgee flushed slightly as she looked at him. and her white jeweled hands clinched each.other tightly. She watch­ ed him. while the breath came in hot, quick gasps from her lips, ami then she smiled tti herself—a slow, almost cruel smile. The duke was in the box with her, and when ail signs of emotion had. left her face and manner, she turned to him. "Ildephonsc." she said, in a slow, calm voice, "do you see a dark-haired man in the stalls—the thirtlto the right-ra man with a handsome, evll'factr?" Tbe duke raised his glasses. "Yea. 1 see him," he replied. “Who is he," she asked, with complete unconcern. "I know him; his name Is—let me think —Forrester—Vam- Forrester; he is whs: Is commonly called a man-about-town." ‘What is he?” xbe asked. "Strange you should ask me that ques­ tion. for my influence procured him the appointment. He was down in the world —Lord Gerant spoke of him to me. I believe Sir Hulbert asked him to use all his influence in his favor." Her face grew a shade paler, and her lips had a hard look about them; still she 'maintained her indifference of manner, although the hand that held tbe richly jeweled lorgnette trembled. “He is a friend of Sir Hulbert Emmere?” she said. "He was; Sir Hulbert spoke to Lord Gerant about him, and Lord Gerant spoke to me." "And you?” she asked. “I? I found him a most excellent po­ sition iu the inland revenue office, tyith an ibremo of do leas than eight hundred per annum, and he was well pleased over it, I assure you.” _ She was quite silent for a few min­ utes: then she laid her head on bis arm. “Ildcphonse," she said, gently, “I am going to ask you a favor—will you grant it without wanting to know why 1 ask It?" "That I will, most assuredly,” he Mid. .“It you obtained that position for him, coaid you take it away?" “Of course I can. Surely, Irene, that is not the villain who tried to----- " He paused, looking at his wife in utter consternation. “No—I understand—no, that la not the man. But there came to my knowledge once a great wrong that he had done—a horrible wrong—and the person to whom he did that wrong, hoped that he wonld be punished. Punish him, Udepbotiae— take from him what you gave- him.” The duke's fine old face grew dark with a frown. “Yon cannot tell me the wrong, Irene?” he said. “No, 1 cannot tell you; my word should he sufficient,’1 she replied proudly. "I will trust you," he said. “You are kind of heart nnd generous by nature; you would not let me punish the man un­ less he' richly deserved it. It.shall be as you any, Irene." The consequence of that conversation was that iu a few days afterward Vane Forrester, to his surprise, received a note to say that the office he held was abol­ ished, so that his services would be no longer required. ' And then Vane Forrester began to won­ . der what fate pursued him; he could get nothing to do. Long since ho lq»d run through his private fortune; hft had drunk and gambled, and had'dope every­ thing on earth that he ought not to have done. For years be bad hung about the clubs, and had fastened himself on rich men, one after another, getting what he could from (hem. Sir Hulbert had prom­ ised him be .would use all his interests for him. He had done so, and the result was that the duke had found him this appointment which was to make him a rich man for life; now be had lost it, nnd a curse seemed, to have, fallen on him.. • , “Have I a hidden foe?" he cried out. "Does some enemy dog my footsteps, nud follow *fao to set everyone against me? The first time 1 go anywhere I am well received, the second time tbe doors are closed against me. I esnnot understand it." While the pockets of the solemn, silent man who had had a long interview with the Duchess of Bayard were filled with gold, affi^she herself almost wondered to find how much money she was spending, until VanC Forrester grew desperate and gave up the struggle; it was useless. Every door was shut in his face, every man seemed to be against him. Tbe men who had been his friends would have nothing more to do with him. They told each other there was something against him, and though none of them knew what it was, the rumor grew ami spread until his oldest friends passed him with­ out a nod, and he was alone in* tbe world. Tbe end of it was that, gaunt, hungry, almost friendless, tbe once brilliant, wicked man presented himself before Sir Hulbert Estmere. "I have reserved you,” be said; “you are my last resource—you must help me —I helped you." “I woultr not help you more If you were dying. You did what you pleased to call a service for me. I did one in return for you, and now ffe arc quits— I shall do no mon*.” "1 am a ruined, broken-down man,” he returned. “Serves you right." said Sir Hulbert. “I deserve shooting myself for my sin; but I never forget that you led me into it. But for such men ns you, men like my­ self would be ten thousand times better than they are.” “1 thought you would help me,” said Vane Forrester, his face quivering, nnd his voice hoarse with emotion. "I do not see why you should. I, base­ ly enough, asked your help; you gave it, and I repaid it. Would to heaven you had refused me when I askeddl- I loathe you for your compliance." "I could swene to heaven," cried the man, "that 1 have a hidden foe; it is just as though someone had sworn ven­ geance against me. 1 can never succeed in any single thing, nnd yet I kno’w of no enemy in the wide world.” He paused abruptly, for Sir Hulbert’s eyes were fixed upon him with un ex­ pression of stunned and bewildered amaze. "What makes you think that?" he ask­ ed, slowly, with a curious whiteness com­ ing over his face. "I could swear it,” he cried. “I can­ not tell who. or what, or why—it cannot all Im* coincidence, there is too much sys­ tem in it. I swear that somewhere un­ der the pitiless sky 1 have a foe who follows me, and tracks me, and ruins me.” Sir Hulbert was silent for a few min­ utes. Coiild it be possible that the beau­ tiful, injured woman, who had threaten­ ed him with vengeance, had absolutely taken vengeance on his accomplice? it looked like it. "Who found for you the "position you held in the Inland Revenue Office?” he asked. The answer was: “The Duke of.Bay­ ard." . "How did you lose it?” . "It was taken from me; given up be­ cause they were reducing expenses, I was told." "Have you asked the duke to help you since?’’ "Yes, I have; but I received a letter saying that he declined to use, any inter­ est that he might have for me*, and that I was not to trouble him again." "Have yon cfer seen the Duchess of Bayard? They tell me she is very gen­ erous—she might ” “No woman can help me," he cried; “I want the influence and interest of n man. No, I have not seen her: if I did it would be of do uae-r-aho would not help me." He Dever dreamed that the beautiful woman, resplendent in jewels, who had looked at him that night at the opera, was tbe girl at whose mock marriage he bad laughed as the very cream of jests. “There la no homeless dog in the street that has been so driven, and worried, and ill-used, as I have been,’’ cried Vane For­ rester. “Give me a few pounds—enough to begin life with in another land, and you will not hear of me again." . So it happened that he left England in safety, and after some years became quite a famous man in New York. The price of his crimes was to be paid him by other hands than those of the woman whose life he had helped to mar and spoil. CHAPTER XX. The summer came again, the brilliant Loudon season had ended. Saxonhurst was to bt* more gay than ever this year. One of the royal princes had accepted nn invitation for a week's shooting. Sir liulbert and Lady Estmere were going, and to Irone's great delight.

Elections were held throughout Illinois Tuesday priueipally for township officers, nnd as a result of these elections is de­ termined the complexion of the counties. The voting on the whole was light nnd while local interest was munltea-ed in a great many places in no important in­ stance do party lines seem to have been chfsdy drawn. National isaues were not mentioned and personal reason* pre­ vailed. Especially notable gains were made at Bloomington. Quincy, Osage, Streator, Hartland and many smaller places. In the Chicago Aldermanlc elec­ tion a total of 2tM.379 votes WM cast. The vote <;»wt m Chicago at the national election In 1900 was .364.545. In the newly elected City Council the Republi­ cans have a majority of eight over* all, counting Roach, the only Independent, na a Democrat.. Nearly every town in Wisconrin held municipal elections, and nt Kenosha, Ra­ cine, nnd one or two other points women voted for the first time for school direc­ tors. Most of the towns elected mixed tickets and in some there were lively con­ tests. At Mtldison John W. Groves, a Republican, was elected in place of the Democrat In- office up to Tuesday. The election in Milwaukee was a Democratic landslide. Mayor Rose was re-elected for a third term by n plurality of «<er 8.000. There were about 55.000 votes cast Id the city. Tbe Social Democrats polled nearly 7,000. Mayor Rose received about 28,000 votes and Major Anson, the Re­ publican nominee, about 20.000. Mayor Rose carried the entire Democratic city ticket with him. The Common Cqnncil is also Democratic by a small majority. The Board of Supervisors will also be Democratic. City elections were held in every town In Nebraska with the exception of Oma­ ha.

"The Princess Chic” was un­ doubtedly the most decided success of last season’s many plays in that city, and everyone is preparing to give the return engagement the patronage it deserves. Manager Stair announces that special transportation from all of the surrounding towns will be provid­ ed for thio engagement and he also considers that be is offering the pub­ lic a considerable bargain in the Sat­ urday matinee of “The Princess Chic,” which is to be given st reduced prices. “Tbe Princess Chic" is recalled as an opera-comlque of unusual dramatic interest, and yet nicely counterbal­ anced with the comic element.

A good story is told on the better half of a couple who went ’from this county to spend the honeymoon in De­ troit. One day the bride, finding that she needed to purchase a few small articles, left the young busband and the hotel to go shopping. She returned shortly and made her way up stairs to the door she thought opened into her own room. . Knocking gently at the door: “Honey,” she galled affection­ ately. “let me in.” No response came and sue knocked again and called in in­ sinuating tones: “Honey please let me in.” "Madam,” answered a gruff voice within. “This is no bee-hive.

There is a strong probability, however, that site is beaten by Chicago by this lime. In 1900 Berlin'stood fourth—London, New York and Paris being ahead of her—on tbe roll of cities, and Chicago fifth. Berlin then had 1.M3,COO Inhabitants and Chicago 1,098,000. Berlin since then has grown to 1,901,000, but Chi­ cago has probably passed that mark or if she has not she undoubtedly will soon. The United States is the only country in tbe world which has more than one city of over 1.000,000 people. She has three now— New York, Chicago and Philadelphia—aud she will have another by 1910, if Boston’s annexation plans are carried out. Moreover, even without any appropriation of out­ lying territory, St.Louis will not be very tar below tbe l.OQO.OOO line ten or fifteen years hence. The United States is a high­ ly expansive country.

It is officially recorded that some of the careful statesmen of a century eu Medics! Discoyago made vigorous protest again-t T the employment of so large a number of persons, and said'that the govern­ ment was exhibiting ‘‘wasteful extrav­ agance.” If these same objectors could lake a view of the present situ­ ation and glance over the payrolls of the departments at Washington they would truiy think things were being conducted on an extravagant scale In 1802 the state department manag­ ed to get along with seven clerk* and one messenger, while in 1902 there are 100. In the treasury a hundred years ago there were sixty clerks, six stamp­ ers, seven messengers and one watch­ man; the payrolls tow show a total of 5,547. The official* in the treasury in 1802, other than the secretary, were the comptroller, one auditor, commis­ sioner of revenue, the register, a superintensnt of stamps, a draftsman, a superintendent of buildings, and a secretary to tbe “commissioners of the sinking fund,’’ which commission was made up of the vice-president, sec^glary of state and the attorney general. In the war department in 1892 there were fourteen clerks, an ' accontant. one permanent and one occasional messenger, while now it requires 2,711 employes to conduct the business, out­ side of a large number of United States army officers on duty here. The navy department a hundred years ago > bad only thirteen clerks, one accountant, and one messenger, and now there are 3,077 on the rolls, outside of officers of the navy and marine corps on duty. In 1802 the postmaster-general had one assistant^eight clerks, ond one occas­ ional messenger, while the present head of this department has 1,049 as­ sistants in the work. A recapitulation shows a total of 115 persons, and yet cautious men thought it was “wasteful extravagance’’ to have so many people drawing pay from tbe government. If the heads of departments enjoyed the luxury of what is now known as private secre­ taries, such appendages were not des­ ignated by that title. It is presumed that the clerks who were paid tbe high­ est salaries stood in closer relation to their superiors than did the low-priced employee. * The war department and the post­ master-general's office both Increased to some extent during the eighteen years, and the increase In the several departments went along at a uniform rate during the next three decade*. In 1828 the posunMler-generai was made a member of the cabinet, and William T, Barry, Jackson's postmaster-gen­ eral, was the first official head of that department to sit as a cabinet minis­ ter. In 1849 the domestic interests of the country had grown to such an ex­ tent that it was deemed necessary to organize the department of the interior and this department was authorized by congress March 3 of that year, Thomas Ewing of Ohio being appoint­ ed by President Taylor two days after­ wards to act as its bead. In 1858 the aepartment service wa* first classified by law and the salaries of the clerks were graded. Section 3 of the law gave the number of employes in the departments in-that year as follows: Treasury, 220; war, 62; nhvy, 39: interior, 301; postmaster-general's, 73; the total number of -clerks in all, not including the state department, being 772. Section 4 of the law limi­ ted “the number of the permanent clerical force of the state department to one chief clerk, three clerks of class 1, two of class 2, eight of class >3 and eight of class 4.’’ The highest salary paid to any of­ ficial of the cabinet was 85,000 a year: the highest to any clerk 81,800 a year. A commissioner of pensions was ap­ pointed for each state, and the annual salaries ranged from 81,800 Id New York to 830 in Vermont. An addition­ al small sum was allowed for clerk of the sumach and organs of digestion and nutrition.

Slng Blog primm May B. Dbcnarioo of tbe conference.report on the war revenue tax reduction Lili occu­ pied most of Monday lt^ tbe'Senate. The report, which removes the tax on backet shops, tbe chief bone of contention, was adopted by a vote of 36 to 20. A bill was passed appropriating' $55,000 for a public building at Sterling.. HL . Consid­ eration -of tbe Chinese exclusion bill waa then resumed. Mr. Simmona eald he ex­ pected to vote for tbe bflL but waa re­ luctant to do so. especially because tbe cotton manufacturers of bis'State and of the South generally were appealing against its enactment. They tear, he Mid. that it will le*d to retaliatory action on tbe part ot China and that their mar4 kei in the Orient might be checked if not destroyed. He explained that he did not agree with tbe cotton manufacturers and -therefore, as people of the Pacific coast and other sections were demanding the passage of the bill, he would ,vote for it. Thte bill was read at length and then the Senate adjourned. In tbe Honse. the Chinese exclusion bill was passed after several amendments were adopted, tbe conference report on tbe war revenue tax reduction bill was accepted and the Sen­ ate bill extending tbe charters of national banks twenty years was passed. Most of Tuesday in tbe Senate was de­ voted to debate on the Chinese exclusion bill. Wljen the .session opened Mr. Si­ mon. rising to a question of personal priv­ ilege, explained that bad he been present when the vote on the ship subsidy bill was taken he would have voted against the measure. Mr. Hoar secured thfc*passage of his resolution providing that rule XIX. be amended by inserting at the be-, gttohing of clause 2 thereof th® follow­ ing: “No Senator in debate shall directly or indirectly by any form of words Im­ pute to another Senator, or to other Sen­ ators, any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator: no Senator in de­ bate shall refer offensively to any State of the Union.” Thirty-nine private pen­ sion bills were passed. The House pass­ ed n bill to protect fish and game in Alas­ ka nnd devoted the rest of the day to debate on Cuban reciprocity. ■ Throughout the session of the Senate on Wednesday the Chinese exclusion bill was under consideration. Mr. Gallinger and Mr. Dillingham opposed it, and Mr. Turner supported it. Mr. Fairbank* re­ ported favorably from the committee on immigration the Chinese exclusion bill passed by tbe House. It was placed on the calendar. Mr. Patterson offered a resolution, which was adopted, calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for cer­ tain regulations regarding the exclusion of Chinese. In the House Mr. Henry (Conn.) asked unanimous consent to dis­ agree to the Senate amendments to the oleomargarine bill, but Mr. Richardson (Tenn.) objected, and the bill went to the committee on agriculture. The rest of the day was devoted to continuance uf the debate on Cuban reciprocity. Id the Senate on Thursday the Chinese exclusion bill was under discassion dur­ ing the entire session, except for about an honr. in which time the ppstoffice ap­ propriation bill was considered nnd pass­ ed. Three speeches were made against the Chinese bill in its present form. Mr. Dillingham conchid'.ng his remarks nnd Mr. Stewart and Mr. Hoar stating their Objection* to the bill. Mr. Stewart said he would vote for the measure if it was the best that c«oi!d' be obtained, as he favored the exclusion of Chines? laborers, but he was opposed to many of it* provis­ ions. Mr. Hoar, with considerable feel­ ing. announced his vigorous opposition to the bill, declaring he never would, vote for it. An amendment was agreed to eliminating section 56 of the bill and sub­ stituting a provision that nothing in the act should be construed to prevent any foreign exhibitor/rom any country from bringing.to tbe^United Stites such as­ sistants as might be necessary to enable him to make an exhibition at any fair or exposition authorized by the government. Mr. Depew spdke briefly against the adoption of the resolution providing for the ejection of Senators by popular vote. In the House, aside from the debate on the Cuban reciprocity bill little was done. Resolutions were passed railing upon the Secretary of State for information re­ garding the alleged remorkl by Canadian officials of landmarks along the Alaskan border, and calling upon him for the re­ port of the Governor ot Louisiana nnd ail other correspondence relating to the establishment of a British base of sup­ plies near Louisiana nnd tbe shipment of horses aud mules for the use of the Brit­ ish army in South Africa. Some remarks which Mr. Depew made Thursday concerning the proposed amendment to the constitution providing for tbe election of Senators by, popular vote, in the course of which he adverted to Southern ejection methods, precipitat­ ed a lively three hours' debate in tbe Senate on Friday. When the Chinese ex­ clusion bill was taken up an agreement was reached that voting upon it should .begin the next Wednesday. Mr. Teller of Colorado supported the measure in a brief speech, maintaining that it was necesMury nnd that it wim not in contraven­ tion of treaty obligations with China. In the House the Speaker announced the appointment of the following committee to attend the funeral at Arlington ceme­ tery, Washington, uf Gen. Rosecran*: Mr. Hepburn (Iowa), Mr. Grosvenor (Ohio). Mr. Ixmd (Cal.). Mr. Steele (Ind.), Mr. Ixsuiler (N. Y.l. Mr. Eltyrtt (8. 0.), Mr. Clark (Mo.), Mr. Cummings (N. Y.) and Mr. Clayton (Ala.). The postoflice appropriation bill was sent to conference. Messrs. Loud. Smith (111.) aud Swanson (Va.) were appointed conferees. The rest of the day was devoted to consideration of the Cuban reciprocity bill. f~------- —I “Labor controversies e*>» n8V York, pinuc to be the only serious L. ■. ------ 1 )y disturbing ®v«St<, in ike industrial world, and. while many dis^ agreements have l>ecn promptly settled, others have appeared to interrupt prbdnetive about new undertakings.

Nebraska.and Michigan the sugar beets -can be grown of such quality that they <sa l»e used profitably for sugar-rank­ Ing. If they can be. bought cheaply enough. This also is true of.some sec­ tions of New York, and a few tests lead them^to believe that they alsb can be grown in Utah, Idaho and Oregon, with a percentage of sugar high enough to warrant sugar being made from them. But several hundred samples tested from Iowa showed that the sugar con­ tent fell just short of the average stand­ ard fixed- for successful manufacture. Of -Illinois and Indiana‘beets the re­ port says, “both .the contents of sugar and co-efficlent of purity were below ' the standard." Of Kansas It is reported that “tbe climate is not suitable for growing high-grade beets." In Okla­ homa the conditions are not called fa­ vorable, and tlie chemists report that, on the whole. Ohio la not adapted to growing sugar btyts. The department tries to make as favorable report as possible for the new Industry, but it has nothing to say about the profit or loss to the farmers, who cannot average fif­ teen tons to tlu* .ijcre, and must «nrt them or pay transportation to the-•fac­ tory at a price of $4 per ton. In this State It would be hard to get a man to load them, carry them five miles aud unload them for much less than that after they were grown and harvested. - Tlie cut. from the Ohio Farmer, shows a five-row com marker.

Tbe water may appear clear and pure, lie free of odor, nnd yet contain Impurities. Farmers who do not consider the matter have no concep­ tion of the many sources from which their drinking water Is obtained. It comes from tbe clouds, of course, but It does apt fall Into’ the well, only reach­ ing it after passing-through the surface soil and dissolving the Impurities. Becituitb the water passes through sand it is not filtered of the soluble matter. If salt is dissolved In water tbe salt is not removed by filtering; as the dissolved salt will go with the water to the low­ est place. If- the well Is open there may be toads and insects In tbe water, which drown nnd decompose. Tbe wells should be covered and the surroundings kept clean, with good drainage in all directions. Driven wells are better than those that are open, nnd should be used in preference.—Philadelphia Record. f- FIVE-BOW coax MA1UCEK.- ■as fnr apart ns you want your rows and two three-inch boards (A) nailed on top.

We have said aud repeat that between tfie two frauds we greatly pre­ fer Oleomargarine because It cannot possibly oe made of more uncleanly materials than arc used In making process butter, nnd very often Is made in a cleanly manner from materials that, in themselves, are not unwhole­ some.

'— Seed ins with Clover. When clover Is sown early In the spring on the crop of wheat or other winter grain. It may cost nothing but the price of the seed, which Is not much, whether ten or fifteen pounds is used to the acre, and the labor of sow­ ing. yet we would prefer to Increase its coat by -going over the wheat with a light or smoothing harrow before sow­ ing the clover seed, says the New Eng­ land Farmer. Tills will benefit wheat or rye if done at tbe right time, when the ground Is not wet enough to cause the barrow to sink too deep and uproot the plants. This makes a good seed l»ed for the clover, aud In a day or two after the first rain the little plants will be sending their roots down into the soil. Select Ins Varieties. If your strawberry market pays high -prices for early fruit, large, highly col­ ored and attractively packed, it would be foolish for one to raise mainly the mid-season sort* and market them un­ attractively. If potatoes bring good prices and cabbages are a drug, don't raise cabbage.- If white eggs are want­ ed. don’t keep fowls that lay brown rgg*. a»<l vice versa. On the other hand. If the best market la for the car- trade and use tbe brown eggs at home if they cannot be sold for a fair price.

I When four years ago this nation was com­ pelled V> fare a foreign foe, the complete­ ness ot the reunion became instantly and strikingly evident. The war was pot one which called for the exercise of more than an insignificant fraction ot our strength and the strain put upon ns was slight Indeed compared with the results.

Tills Is short-sighted econ­ omy. and particularly so In the case of the heavier implements.,which save so much fiard labor. One of the tools that should be on every farm where consid­ erable manure Is handled is the manure spreader. By tbe use of the manure spreader the heavy work of band­ spreading Is not only avoided, but the spreader breaks up the manure and dis­ tributes it evenly aud iu such form that It benefits tbe soil equally wherever It falls. There are no heavy lumps here and there and scant supplies in other places, as with hand-spreading. 1 For Rollins Small Seed. No garden is complete without a roller for band use.

You have made a particular effort Id your exhibition to get Into touch with the West indies. This is wise. ■ The events of the last four yean* have shown us that the West Indies and tbe isthmus In the future occupy a fnr larger place in our national policy than In tjic past. Thl* Is proved by the negotiations for the putchase of tbe DanUti Islands, the acquisition of L’orto Rico, the preparation for building an Isth­ mian canal and finally by the changed rela­ tion* which there rears have prod need be­ tween us and Cuba. Aa a nation we have an especlnj right to take honest pride In tvbnt we have done for Cuba. Our critics abroad and nt home have insisted that we never intended to leave tbe Island. But on the 20th of next month Cuba becomes a free republic and we turn over to tbe Islanders the control of their own Government. It would be very difficult to find a parallel In the conduct of any other great state that has occupied such a position as ours. Wa have kept our word and done our duty just aa an honest Individual in private life keeps hlx word and dues his duty. Be It remembered, moreover, that after our three years’ occupation of jiio Wand we turn it over to the Cubans in a better condition than It ever has been- In all the centuries of Spanish rule. This has a direct (•caring upon our own welfare. We have rightfully insisted upon Cuba adopting toward ustinattltudedlfferlugpollt. Ically from that she adopts toward anyuthci power: nnd in return, as a matter uf right, we must give to Cuba n different—that la, a better—position economically in her rela tlons with ua than we give to other powers. This is the course dictated by suund policy, by a wise and far-sighted view of our own Interests, and by the position wo have taken •luring the past four years. We are v wealthy and powerful country, dealing with a much weaker one; and the contrast in wealth and strength makes it all the more our duty to deal w ith Cuba ns we have alerady dealt with her.

The well­ being which we are now enjoying can be secured only through general busluesa prosparity, aud such prosperity la conditioned upon the energy anti hard work, tbe sanity nail the mutual respect of all classes of cap­ italists, Inrgflund small, of wage-workers of every degree. As ts inevitable in n time of business prosperity, some men succeed more than others, and it la unfortunately also inevitable that when thia Is the case s6me unwise people are sure to try to appeal CVtIU ICIISI. it Is a goo<l thing when these appeals are made to remember that white it Is difficult to Increase prosperity by law It ia easy enough to ruin it. nnd that there is small satisfaction to the less prosperous if they Buccred in overthrowing both tbe more pro* pcruus and themselves In the crash of a com­ mon disaster. We are certain to fall If we adopt the policy of the demagogue who raves against tbe wealth which Is Kim ply the form of em­ bodied thrift, foresight and Intelligence; who would shut the door of opportunity against those whose energy we should eepedally foster, by penalising the qualities which tell for stieccH*. Jost an little can we afford to follow those who fear to recog­ nise injustice and to eudeavoy to cut it out l>ccauM<- tbe task l» difficult or even—If perfonnwd by unskilled bauds—dangerous. This is an era of great combinations, both of labor and capital.' In mhuy ways these combinations have worked for good, but laws cuuccruing them must be Just and wino or they .will Inevitably do evil; aud this applies as much to tbe richest corporation us to tbe most powerful labor union. Our laws must be wise, sane, healthy, conceived in the spirit of those who scorn tbe juers agitator, the mere Inciter of class or sec­ tional hatred: who wish Justice for all meu, who recognise the need of adhering ao far as iwaalblc to the old American doctrine of giving tbe Widest possible scope for the free exercise of Individual Initiative, and yet who recurn I re also that after combinations have reached n certain stage it Is indispen­ sable to tbe general welfare that tbe nation should exercise over them, cautiously and with self-restraint but firmly, the power dt~ •upcrvlalon und regulation.

Dewitt Tataagr passed away Saturday night at 9 o’clock, at his home in Washington, D. C. Death was pain­ less. He had been unconscious for two days, the coma becoming more profound as dissolution approached. At his l*dside when his last breath was drawn were the following members.of his fam­ ily: Mr*. Talmage, Rev. Frank Dewitt Talmage, Chicago; Mrs. Warren G. Smith, Brooklyn: Mrs. Daniel Mangam. Mand Talmage; Mrs. Allen E. Doncaa. Richmond. Vs., nnd Miss Talmage* Washington. . Dr. Talmage was in poor health when be left Washington. aixjrMka agojfor * journey to Mexico. He was suffering from influenza and catarrhal trouble, which caused him considerable pain. Death was due, however, to inflammation of the brain. This complication asserted Itself several days ago. His last rational words were uttered the day preceding the marriage of his daughter Maud, when in reply to a question he weakly said; "Of course I know you. Maud." The attend­ ing physicians gave up hope Thursday eveniug. Dr. Talmage was born in GatevlHe, now Bound Brook, N. J., Jan. 7, 1832, and was consequently in hi* seventieth year. His father was a farmer of strong and vigorous character and his mother a woman of exceptional energy: his aueestor* wore Americans and member* of the Reformed Church from a period antedat­ ing the revolution. Dr. Talmage studied law at the University of New York and graduated with high honors, but. per­ suaded by bis relatives and probably feel­ ing the inspiration himself, he entered the New Brunswick Seminary of The­ ology. His first pastorate wa* that of the Re­ formed Church of Belleville. N. J., but hi* eloquence *oon attracted attention, nnd he wa* in demand. In 1859 he went to Syracuse. N. Y., where his congrega­ tion was unusually critical and cultured. Here it was thm Talmage's genins. be­ gan to assert Itself most effectively. Yet he served an apprenticeship of seven year* before he was called.to Brooklyn. Central Presbyterian Church of that place, whose membership had greatly dwindled, made the jbang divine an offer. He accepted, and within a few mouth* his success had become so extraordinary that plans for a new tabernacle were on foot. In 1870 the first Brooklyn Tubernacle was built, but fire dcstroyM It, nnd twice again yimted this Mme flock. Made Hi* Church Famous. Dr. Talmage’s fame had become ro widely recogn|ied and his preaching In such demand that the Brooklyn pariah also had won a name through its pastor. It was consequently rich and powerful. New tabernacle* arose in the ashes ><f the old and nothing appeared to obstruct the minister's rapid rise. The quart<T-century celebration held in May. 1801. at Brooklyn Tabernacle is well remem be red. Dr. Talmage was then in the zenith of his renown. Soon after that he, in a measure, retired from active’ ministerial duties. He traveled much, lectured * greet'deal, and was in almost constant demand. He wrote not a little, was in the newspapers dally, and was one of the public men frequently sought for by the interviewer. Dr. Talmage's greatness. It is generally conceded, can be ascribed to bis power as an orator. Coupled with this he had the talent of simple nnd trenchant inter­ pretation of the scriptures. He was * Christian of the old school, if that ex­ pression may be employed. He did not run much to new thought, higher criti­ cism or creed reform. He clung tenaci­ ously to a plain, pure program of every­ day morals and right living. He found enough noble texts io. the Bible to supply him with inspiration. He was a magnificent lecturer. Some of bls flights of oratory are remembered as being of surpassing impress!v-nes* and picturesqueness. Hi> drew lessons from everything. He talked to n pur­ pose, but st the same time be garnished his sentences with beauty, nstd his voice, appearance and fire combined to fn.hraM and uplift the hearer. . Three Time* Married. Dr. Talmage was married three times. Hi* first wife, hr whom he bad one child, was Mary Avery, of Brooklyn, whom he lost In 18C2 by 'drowning. Sussu 0. Whittemore of the itame city was his sec­ ond wife, and with h-r he lived many years and reared a family of six children.

Continuing, be said it had been decided to impose a du'v of 5 pen: per hundredweight on flour and 3 pent per hundredweight bn wheat and grain. The chancellor denied that tjw regis­ tration duties on wheat ami flour vio­ lated the principle* of free trade, pr would increase the cost of food. He thought the dirties had been recklessly abandoned and. declared their remiaaion did not reduce the price of food. Almost before the announcement had been completed in the House of Commons London’s streets were ringing with the newsboys' cries of ’*Tax on Bread.” It caused great excitement. The bulletin boards before all newspapers were be­ sieged by crowds of intensely interested citizens. Angry criticisms of the minis­ try's action ore reported on every aide.

She was taking her just revenge, she •aid to herself; and yet she could not have rested her head for one moment on the white pillows; she could not have slept while he lay dying so near. Eight o’clock, and the busy household began to stir. Was he living dr dead? Soon ns she could she would go to him. Ah. there was the voice of Lady Est­ mere, asking to be admitted. Carefully'opening her door, the duchess took l4idy Estmere’s hand and led her back to her own rogm. “I will come with you," she oaid. “You look very ill. Yon should not have risen. What ia the matter?” When they were in Lady Estmere’s room she threw her arms round the state­ ly figure of the duchess, nnd laid her head on her neck. “Be kind to me.” she said, wistfully. “I am very ID and very unhappy.

Some laughed, some moved away, but the Duchess of Bayard sank back in her seat, pale as death and trembling in every limb. She knew the dog; it was her own, a neautlful, petted little animal, given to her by the duke; and she had missed it since morning; and now it was here with, surely, a Woodstained handkerchief tied round his neck. Oh, hearen, what could it mea£? In an Instant, and like "a Baah of lightning, it came home to her, that wonderful truth. The dog must have followed her into the Woods, and have found Sir Hulbert. She remembered how often she had seen him fondling the animal. It must have gone to the wounded, helpless man, who bad found strength to tie thia round his neck and send' him home. ' Pale., breathless, her heart beating al­ most’ to suffocation, Irene listened. Ln her heart she cried out that it was unfair. Heaven had not interfered to save her; but it had interfered to help the man who had betrayed her. In that one minute a hundred thoughts rushed through aer mind, and the picture that dwelt there longest was at tho duke’s as he asked her the name of The man who practiced this vile fraud upon her—asked her as they were standing by the sunlit fountain in Rome.

"Irene,” he called, excitedly, “come here.” She rose, though her limbs trembled so that she could hardly walk. Toll, state­ ly. with her rich dress and trailing laces, with her diamonds and her white face, she hastened to him. The group of men made way for her. Col. Leighton held the dflg in his arms, and the duke' held a white pocket hand­ kerchief stained with blood. "See, Irene,” he cried; "1 am sure I am right. Sir Hulbert is lying some­ where wounded in the woods, and this dog has found him. He has managed to tie this-found his neck, and send him a messenger to us.” He stopped abruptly, for the ghastly pallor of his wife’s fa.*» startled him. "Do not bo afraid, 5iy darling," he cried; "he must be living or he could not have done this.” . __ But in her heart she was crying out that heaven hnd helped him—had taken her vengeance from her. “It must be so." "Tho duke is quite right." "Messengers should be sent nt once,*’ were the cries she heard all round her; and the duke opened the handker­ chief, that all might see it. There was his name plainly worked in one corner, and near the work was a.great crimson stain. It was quite evident that some­ one hnd tied it round the dog's neck. There was great excitement among the group; some of the women were weeping like children,- mid strong men had grown pole. The duchess stood by, cold, silent, motionless ns stone. The duke went up to Lady Estmere. "Take courage, my dear," he arid, kind­ ly; “I feel sure now that al! will be well. Hulbert has certainly met with some accident, but we shnli find him and bring him home for you to nunc. Cheer up nnd get well for his sake. Irene,” he continued, "see, my darling, that Lady Estmere is attended to;" but the duchess stood by motionless—she neither moved nor spoke. Then the duke ordered all the keepers, all the men servants in the house to be called together, and a regular, orderly search to be instituted. They found him. although more than once the men, with the coolnel at their Dead, had been tempted to give up the chase. They followed the little dog, although it seemed useless. ' Sir Hulbert, they said to each other, would never be able to wander through this tangle. But they found him. aud when Col. Leighton tried to raise him his head fell like a dead weight on his arm. “He la dead,” cried the coolnel; "we have come too Into." But one. of the men laid his hand on Sir Hulbert's breast. “He is not dead; his heart beats," he said. The accident was patent to all—in fall­ ing the trigger of his gun had caught In the branches of a tree, and the whole contents were lodged id his side; they could see, also, that his ankle had been broken. How'long, they asked each oth­ er, had he 'been lying here so cruelly wounded—here—alone? He could hardly live until they reached home. His face was ghastly white, and his lips burned with cruel thirst. But what seemed the most strange was this —that they found on one of his bruised, cold hands a woman’s wedding ring.

WATERSPOUTS RUSH AT SHIP. Captain Ferguson of th.e steamship Hestia, from Cuba, reports an exdtipg •experience. When 180 miles south of Cape Hatteras the ship rah into a ter­ rific rain and electrical storm. To wind1 ward were seen seven waterspouts form­ ing And rushing toward the ship. Al­ though it was estimated they were half a mile, tiff, the roar was plainly audible. Six of the spouts failed to form, nnd their columns broke nnd fell Into the sea. Bui the remaining spout gathered force and volume and rushed In its spiral course to­ ward the Hestia. The ship quivered as the huge column of watt’r struck it. 'life spout crossed the desk between the house amldship and the cabin, in a diagonal streak. It tore the canvas hatch cover­ ings away, but, beyond the quivering of the steamer under the great weight, there was no serious damage. X HEROISM OF A BOY AGED 12. Melt >31,000,000 In Bullion. Thirty-one ndilion dollars in bullion nnd the assay office at 30 Wall, street. New York, were in peril of being melted and burned Tuesday attendSon and no one but the employes knew .of the fierce fire that raged In the basement of the building. Next door to tho assay office Is the zubtreasury, where the government usually has from >100.000,000 to >200,000,000 stored. There might have been a panic in Wall street if It bad been knop-n- that this great treasure waa threatened. In some way fire in the sil­ ver smelting room was communicated to n barrel of lard mixture usrd In the smelting process. There were twentythree barrels of this inflammable mix­ ture In the room and like a flash they were enveloped in u sheet of flame so intense in beat that it was feared the $31,000,000 in silver in a vault In the room would be melted. There was no time to close the.great steel doors of the vault and the flames from the bar­ rels were so close to it that it was impos­ sible for anyone to approach near enough to shut them. As soon ns the blase start­ ed Superintendent Martin ordered the dponi 'ending to the front corridor up­ stairs closed, thus locking the fifty em­ ployes at work in tbe basement in with the fire. There are two large hydrants in the basement, with fire hose connect­ ed, and In an instant two large streams of water were playing on the biasing bar­ rels. From a third hydrant a "bucket brigade" was worked to advantage. What little woodwork was in the smelt­ ing room was quickly consumed. The loss waa comparatively Rifling. BREAKS LID OF HIS COFFIN. Supposedly Dead Prisoner Revives While Being Taken from Jail. Four assistants to an undertaker sud­ denly dropped a coffin they were carrying •out of the Paterson, N.

He was called in the morning by the keeper, but did not respond. The cell was op­ ened, and the man could not be aroused. The jail officiate were informed and they sent for a physician, telling him that a prisoner had died in the night. The doc­ tor made a casual examination and pro­ nounced the man dead. • Boy Grab* It and Save* Children.

Tbe market was buoy­ ant and depressed fay turns. A few lead­ ing stocks* scored very large gains, on the heaviest trading seen since the great bull market of this time last year. The report of the Agricultural Department covering the condition of the growing crop in the Southwest was the factor in wheat. That tbe government should make the condition 78.7, against a condi­ tion of 9L5 at the same date last year, was in itself very bullish. This ikas partly offset, however, by the considera­ ble increase of acreage. The whole was tempered by the fhet that the figures of tho census department covering the crop yield of 1899. given out earlier In the week, showed a wide divergence from the figures of the Agricultural Depart­ ment for that year.

By a vote of 48 to 33 the Senate adopted the Platt amendment as a substitute for the House bill, which provid*',! for tbe exclusion of Chinese in­ definitely. ‘ The present *taw« relate only to the coming of Chinese into the United States proper, but the new bill extends their pro­ visions so as to apply to the insular pos­ sessions. The Chinese in the East In­ dian possessions of Uncle Sam cannot, t under the. provisions of the ' measure adopted,- go to his West Indian posses­ sions, or vice versa, but those residing tn one group of islands can go from ouc island to another of the same group. Article 6 of the Chinese treaty pro­ vides that the convention will remain in force for a period of ten,years, beginning with the date of the exchange of ratifi­ cation, and, if six months before the ex­ piration of tbe period of ten years neither government formally gives notice of. its final termination Ao the other the treaty will remain in force for another period of ten years.

In the absence of such a certificate a Chinese laborer may be ar­ rested nnd deported unless be can show that he is entitled to remain here. WALKS ON THE WATER. Shoes, Docs a lOO-Mile Walk. ' Captain Grossman of Cologne, Ger­ many, the inventor of water shoes, re­ cently completed n 10O-mile walk on the surface -of the River'Danube. He start­ ed from Linz nnd finished his journey at Vienna, drawing his wife in a boat all the way. A dispatch from Vienna print­ ed in the papers the other day told of the completion^ ot tbe trip in less than two days and of the terror of peasants who saw the inventor from the banks and believed they were viewing the su­ pernatural. The shoes are aluminum cylinders, thirteen feet long, and nre light enough to be carried on the shoulders like a pair of oars. Tlie wearer propria himself by a trending movement, which causes four oar-shaped wings to revolve. The inventor bopes-t-o'hxxe his water shoes made a part of the outfit of life­ saving stations. In a flood in Germany two years ngo he gave a practical dem­ onstration of their usefulness by rescu­ ing twenty persons. It is said the shoes are no more difficult to operate in rough weather than on smooth water. MORMONISM IN NEW YORK.

The people of Lake Odessa and the township in which it is located, raise every year by tax 81000 lo be used ;n graveling highways. This money Is all used outside of the village, though of course the village stands ite share of tne taxes. As a reeultthcy are get­ ting tbe highways of lhe township in­ to excellent condition and the major­ ity in favor of tbe tax grows larger every year. All the taxpayers are more than well pleased with the re­ sult. We can’t help but think it would be a good plan for the townships of Maple Grove and Castleton to follow the lead of our neighbors. We know Nashville will cheerfully stand her share of the tax. Mildred, the four-year-old daugh­ ter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Hoisington of Maple Grove township, died on Thursday of last week of.bowel trouble and wm buried ou Friday. Tommy, a little son two years old, has also been at the point of death, but at last account* was slightly improving, and hope* are now entertained of hi* re­ covery. There wa* no truth in the re­ port that the family was poisoned by eating canned, beef, as neither the father normother has been ill, and the family ha* eaten no canned beef. They are still in quarantine on acoount of having been exposed to small pox at battle Creek, but the quarantine will probably be raised Sunday.

In general, early feeding Is the most profitable. The quicker you can mature an animal, the more money It win make. It Is not profitable to feed after ' cattle'are ripe and ready for market. I I have made cattle gain Qve-and one-half pounds per day for- sixty days, but sfter that not nearly that average. I Jiave had mneb more success In feedI Ifig ground teed than,.! ever had In any [ other way. and I bnvo tried almost ev­ i ery way ami have come to the conclu1 tdon that to grind corn and cob toget her, rather fine, lx nfttch better than to fe<-d clear meal. I have never had so good results as when 1 have ted five times a "day. but I never deed so the cattle leave tho least bit In ihelr boxes. Cattle will net eat any more when fed five times a day than when fed nil they will eat three times, but the advantage is that you do not overload their stomachs, and therefore the food is mor.e easily digested and they fatten faster on the same food. I have had better success in feeding cattle kept Iu their stalls than in any other Way of keeping them. 1 am a great advocate of feeding bran and middlings and think they are near­ ly or quite as good as the same weight of corn. I am greatly In favor of de­ . horning cattle, as you earn feed them In a much smaller space and they will do much better.—Farm and Home. Crop* with Huiull Fruita. A* a rule it Is the l>etter plan to keep the small fruit plantation free from other crops, although, if one has fer­ tilized the soil reasonably heavy, hoed crops may be grown between the row* of raspberry and blackberry plants the first season after the plants arc set. Beans, potatoes or i>eas may be thus grown to advantage, but as stated, only when the soil has been fertilized so that tbe Hoed crop will not use the plant food that should go to sustain the small fruit plants. Tbe plan, so common in sections where these two small fruit* are grown with the great­ est profit, of plowing the space between the rows, throwing a furrow toward the rows of plants. Is an excellent one, provided the plowing is not too deep. After pruning the plants properly and doing the plowing suggested, if a heavy mulch of coarse manure Is placed aronnd the plants the yield will be very much increased and the tierries be larger. Feed for Dairy Animal*. Never feed fattening foods to dairy animals. The tendency to lay on flesh should l>e discouraged. Feed pens, oats, clover bay, pea hay. bran and tbe like and avoid so far as possible corn, bar­ ley and other highly carbonaceous foods. For Chicken Cholera.

Little Girl Drowned in a Well. At Holloway a distressing accident oc­ curred the other evening.

"Florence Haynes. Died July 11, 1892. Aged Aged 24." * <h' ’h'« rpll.ph aloud And the name rang in my memory with the knowledge that I had beard It before— that it had to do with some unpleasant nssodationa which I could not recall. Then suddenly it came back to ine. with a sense of irritation, that I should have bared my head for n moment beside the grave uf a creature so vile. * "Pah!” I exclaimed, not endeavoring to conceal my disgust. "It is monstrous that this woman's, body should have been put here. She ought to be lying In a prison burying ground.” "Ought she?' asked my strange com­ panion in a new aud childlike way, look­ ing up at me from her knees, while my matches burned -out. “Tell'me about her, will you?’ "Don't you know?’ I asked, suspicious­ ly. “This woman, Florence Haynes, wag a murderess. The story began twenty­ odd years ago, with an eld woman who had once been a servant in this veryhouse. When she unexpectedly received a legacy from a relative in Australia she chose to sink a good many thousand pounds of her money In buying Lorn Abbey, which had just at that time been offered for sale. It seems that poor old Hannah Haynes, who made no friends, had attempted to lighten the loneliness of her life by taking to live with her a boy. who was the son of her dead hus­ band by a former wife, and a little girl, much younger, whose parentage nobody knew, though she went by the name of Florence Haynes. This child was sent to school until some exhibition of tem­ per caused her to be expelled, and she grew up with no other companion than her benefactor’s stepson, who was a gen­ tle. kindly and handsome youth. "Hannah Haynes herself was said to be a hard woman to live with, and there were constant quarrels between her and her adopted daughter, Florence. Some­ times she would make a will, leaving all her money to tbe young man, whose name I forget; and then she would destroy it. having drawn another up in favor of Florence. One night—it was seven years ago this October—the sole servant in the 'House of Fear’ overheard a vio­ lent quarrel between Mm. Haynes and the girl, who was then about 18 years old. The woman threatened to send for her solicitor next morning and have a new will drawn up. The next morning the poor old creature was found mur­ dered in her bed in the dock-tower cham­ ber. She had been strangled, and stab­ bed as well with one of those long pins which women use for their bonnets. This pin was proved to have been tbe property of the girl; and a handkerchief marked with her name was found tightly grasp­ ed in the woman’s hand. Florence Haynes herself was missing, but wns discovered afterwards in the boat bouse, where she had apparently gone, intend­ ing to escape by way of.the river, but ha.l fainted from loss of blood, for one of her hands had been bitten to the bone. Her story was that she heard a cry for help in the middle of the night, and, recog­ nizing Mrs. Haynes’ voice, had run to her room, where it was entirely dark. All was still as some one rushed by her, knocking against her. She caught at him. There w<s a struggle, and her hand was bitten, when she loosed iter hold and rushed after tbe murderer down the stairs. Through an open window in one of the rooms on the ground floor she followed, seeing a man's figure running before her at a distance, and still trying to follow, she fell and fainted in tbe boat hoqse. “But the story was an unlikely one, and evidence waa very strong against her. Tbe two women bad quarreled. The mopey was to pass away from her on tbe next day. That night had been her last chance, and she -was forced to admit that sbo had gone, only a few days liefore ths murder, to London, at Mrs. Haynes* request, to draw out by check nearly all tbe money which had Lain in the London and North Western Bank. Tbe reason given for this act by Mrs. Haynes had been a rumor of a financial panic, Florence confessed to having brought home tbe money in a bag, all in notes, but swore that she bad no Idea where Mrs. Haynes bad put it for safe­ keeping. It was supposed, however, that she did know, and had managed to se­ crete the money somewhere, as, though search was made In every hole and cran­ ny about the house it was never found.” "Did no one suspect the stepson?’ ques­ tioned the Woman in Gray. "Inquiries were made, bat no possible suspicion seemed to attach to him. He had been away in London for three or four days before tbe murder, looking for employment. He did not know that the money had been taken from the bank. He had some little private means of bis own. while the girl had nothing except what leave her. She was condemned to death, but through the efforts of Gordon, tbe Queen’s Counsel, who defended her, a great agitation was got up in her favor. Much stress was laid upon her youth and the fact that the evidence was en­ tirely circumstantial.

Peaceable Citizen* of Brown County, Indiana, Victim* of White Capa. Two outrage* by White Cap bands against peaceable citizens of Brown County, which were attended by almost incredible brutality, have caused intense excitement in that section of Indiana. The wife of one of the victims .ha* be­ come violently, in*ane as a result of the brutal treatment of her husband. Wil­ liam' Caldwell, the-first victifti, was met on a lonely road by the White Caps and whippet! till exhausted by loss of blood. He was found the next morning near the roadside ih an. unconscious condition. Finley Stretchberry, the second victim, was taken’ from his house by twenty masked meri. They broke down the door*. As they rushed into the house Stretchbi-rry bravely faced the mob with a .shotgun. He poured the contents of one barrel into them. Before he could fire again he was seized by one of the White Cap*. Stretchberry did not lose his courage. He fought desperately and managed to free himself.’ As he raised his gun for n second time his wife rush­ ed to his side and persuaded him to drop the gun.- Tl>e mob then seized Stretch­ berry and took him to the door of the house, wliWe they beat him over the head with clubs find revolvers. He fell to the .ground. Mrs. Stretdhherry was forced into the kitchen, while her husband was taken to a stretch of woods and unmer­ cifully whipped. After beating the man to their heart’s content tije White Cups released him. took him farther down the road and lied him to a fence post. Then the beating was renewed until the victim fainted and the mob supposed that he was dead. Unlike othrr ontq^ges that have occurred in Brown County, no rea­ son whatever is given for the attacks upon the two men. Both are said to be quiet, law-abiding citizen*, and neither has ever been charged with any crime.

While the country Is undeniably in an extraordinarily prosperous condition so far aa employment of labor, skilled or un­ skilled, ia concerned, wage advances have not been so high or so rapid proportion­ ately as the jump in provision prices. Explanations Doubted. , The explanations of the packers that the advances are legitimate and due to a drought in the West and scarcity of cut­ tle have nut. received general credence, and the-^harge is jpade. from New York to San Francisco, that the provision market is in tbe control of packers who have interests at Chicago, Omaha aud Kansas City. While this is strenuouriy denied by the packers aud by the railroads accused of being in collusion with them in the price advances, a government investigation of the alleged beef trust is in progress, and evidence is Ix-ing collected by United States distrR-t attorneys in the ten cat­ tle rinsing States of the Union and at the three great packing house centers. This evidence is to be furnished.to At­ torney General Knox with a view to pro­ ceeding against all the big packing com­ panies if cbe facts justify legal action. Summarized into an "understandable form the charges now being heavily pressed are these: • That a natural ahortage In cattle does not exist on western ranges; that In fact the visible supply for the next twelve months is little less than that of one year ago. That while the cattle marke; □ear to home (in Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa) has been fairly well bought out, the far West ranges are well stocked, •nd, as in the case of the Rapid City region, shipments will be heavier this year than in previous years. That b3 per cent of the rattle on the western .ranges are cither directly owned or are under contract to the packing houses ac­ cused, aud that their shipment is being held back for the express purpose of jus­ tifying the present price advances. WEST HAS A HOT WAVE. bcasks and Oklahoma. In Omaha Sunday was the hottest April day in fifteen years. The ther­ mometer at 5 p. m. reached 93 degrees, the highest previous record being 91 de­ grees. Two persons were overcome by beat in one church during the day, and many cases of illness caused by heat are reported. A dispatch from Falls City says the mercury reached 100 degrees iu the shade at that place, and that wheat is soffering frornJack-ql-moisfure. Oth­ er points iu southern Nebraska report record-breaking temperature for April. Vegetation in eastern Nebraska is suffer­ ing for rain, and damage to winter wheat la reported. A dry, hot wind from the south has haa been sweeping orer Kansu-*, Kansu.*, doing much damage to vegetation of all kinds. Those interested say the wind has done incal­ culable harm harm to the wheat. The ground ia is becoming dry -and hard. This is an grees. "Moisture is lacking over the largest part of the winter wkoat territory," says the Modern Miller. •‘The only rains of consequence during the week hare been in tbe Southwest. Repuorts of damage and deterioration in the condition of the plant are increasing. The general con­ dition of the crop is less favorable. The increase iu the acreage should, however, offset the loss by daqjage up to the pres­ ent time. Insect life haa appeared, but no damage indicated therefrom as yet. There is little winter wheat moving.” Kansas wheat seems to be suffering most for-rain. In many of the best coun­ ties the plant is reported to be 50 per cent' under last year.

American withdrawal from the islands would, in his opinion, result in the per­ manent failure of republican institutions In the Enst and a fratricidal war which would continue until suppressed by some exterior force*. Gen. MacArthur denied that there has been any unusual destruc­ tion of life in the islands. "The destruc­ tion," said he. "is simply incidi*Qt to war and, of course, embraces a small .percent­ age of the total population, which is ■dense." By a strict party rote the committee refused to subpoena Maj.

Jacob H. Smith for the orders he issued in the Samar campaign. He declared tljat Gen.

Mr. Sibley's speech was enthusiastically applauded by the Democrats and was re­ ceived with some evidences of approval on the Republican side. The speech was considered the more remarkable in that It came from a Republican who left the Democratic party on the issues raised by the Spanish war. and who has since been an ardent expansionist. Mr. Williams (Dem., Miss.) indorsed what Sibley had THE GROWTH OF TRUSTS. In 1900 There Were 183 Capitalized . at 43.300,015,808. One of the most important phases of -the "present industrial era is tbe o[>crations of the commercial aud manufac­ turing combinations, which have come to be commonly known as trusts. Up to tbe time of the census of 1900, there were 183 of these combinations in the United States, keeping in operation over 2,000 manufacturing plants. Their total capitalization was $3,569,615,808, and on their pay rolls were the names of about 422,000 employes. There is a prevailing but erroneous im^nesaion that the operations of the*.* luon<*l*.dies restrict themselves largely to the iron, steel and oil industries. There is hardly an article of trade, whether it be a necessity or a luxury, which is not contained in the output of some one of ■our trusts. Among the more important pursuits of these differed combinations is the manti_ farturing of articles of food, in which branch alone there are twenty-three com­ . binatious engaged.

SixTbrsons Injured and 350,000 in dnuiages to property was the result of the work of two tornadoes that struck Iowa Thursday night, 'llie storms were one hundred and fifty miles apart, pue striking at Bayard, in Guthrie County, and the other at the towns of Weldon and Van Meter, in Decatur County, in a ■wealthy farming neighborhood. The Bayard storm seems to have left the ground after passing through the town and traveled fiftitn miles without doing further damage when it struck a farming neighborhood north of Rippey, and there demolished a school house and piany barns. A dozen farm houses in its path, which was 100 yards wide,, were wrecked and three members of one fam­ ily residing cast of Van Wert sustained broken limbs.

Such was the statement made by Jud^e Tutirill of Chicago the other day in granting a divorce to a woman whose hiujband.hud been in the habit of beating her. ’’ "The right of self-defense.” continued the judge, “is the first law of nsture. It is statutory law as’well. If a powerful man assaults a smaller man the latter has a right to kill his assailant. This is la* among men. It is a hw of double force when fi. weak, defenseless woman ij involved. “I wish wives would learn to appreciate their rights of self-defense and would use them, too. If they did there would be a deal less/wife-beating in the world. If, when a woman is assaulted by a drunken brute of a husband and cuffed and kicked about like a dog. she took a gun and shot him she would be within her rights under the law and all rightminded men would commend her for her deed.

Ware, tbe newV- ly Chosen pension commissioner, is having the poetns of his earlier days nought owl now by the relentless news­ paper paragraphers and quoted again for tne benefit of those who had never heard of them. Tho poem? have a certain originality, too, that makes them entertaining, especially to the enemies of tbe poet. We can imagine possildy tbe pension commissioner is not no proud ofthcro now m he wan. The poetry-writing habit is one of the things that oome up to plague a man afterj he had hoped the matter had died away and that he will never hear any more from it. Especially humil­ iating must it be for a man in tbe prime of ruddy, fat manhood to bear his love songs brought up against him-4hat is to say, the sentimental poetry that falls to pieces when you pick it up because it's s<x> mushy. When one gets the poetic fever it is hard to refrain from jotting down the poem that is in his heart begging for expression, but later in life, when he gets sensible and simply tries to be a good business man and get tbe other fellow's money from him at all times and places, he will regret the poem that fluttered out from the pigeon loft of his imagination. Moral—write lit­ tle poetry, and then burn It. A number of oases have been noticed in the newspapers lately of gentlemen who have performed the Enoch ^rden trick and nave come back home after 15 or 25 years of wandering, to claim the wives they have left. Just where the justice comes in of riving the re­ turning one all the oomforts of home after he has sallied around the world enjoying himself everywhere else is one of the problems some peoplehavn't answered to their own satisfaction. If these fellows came home like the man in the melodrama and-threw purses of gold Into the laps of their long-de­ serted better halts, and started in to give the deserted children college edu­ cations and automobiles, the experi­ ence wouldn't be so bad; but almost In­ variably the returning one comes back because he has learned that his wife is living prosperously, while he is on the verge of becoming tbe most useless of all creatures, an aged tramp. It is then up to the wife of his earlier days to hie to the washtub and let the fel­ low rest from his tour of the world till ft is time for him to die—which he does slowly, growing fat in the mean­ time, and cumbering the earth usually until the luckjess woman who has tak­ en up with him again, has gone to her own reward.. Tberu seems to be some­ thing in all this that is not quite fair to the women. The only protection against the return of the wanderer is to have it well understood that if tbe old man comes home he must get a move on and go to work. At that thought most of them would—well, they wouldn't come home. MacFaddcn, ^he Physical Culture man, is about opening a restaurant in New York where one cent meals will be served. He believes that health, strength and weight may be maintained by gating two of these meals per day. This brings the cost of one person down to 60 cents per month, or >7.20 per year. They will consist of beans, peas, lentils and vegetables and cereals of that nature. Tbe most astonishing thing in connection is that be will use these miniature meaU himself.

It this is done and the tile properly laid. 1 DUBABLE TILE OUTLET. with It than even experienced orchardistM think. It Is a lamentable fact that not one man In ten knows how to properly prune a fruiting tree; ft Is also to bo regretted that more fruit growers do not better understand that proper pruning largely means yearly pruning and not a general slaughter of the limbs and twigs every three or four years. This general practice sim­ ply means urging the tree to make a heavy growth of wood which Is not needed. In pruning, tbe experienced orchardlst cuts but slightly the strong limbs, but wields his- knife and shears vigorously on the light branches and twigs growing on the inside and on the' underside of tbe tree. This is the general rule and most growers of ex­ perience practice It with all fruit pees, although in recent years expert fruit growers seem inclined to take out the stronger wood on peach trees, although this plan Is mainly to get the tree bended low; still tbe |>ench often requires liferent treatment from oth­ er orchard trees which may best be determined 'by experiments with dif­ ferent plans, for while general prin­ ciples may be laid down It is not pos­ sible to cover in such directions local conditions. My experience is that one cannot. keep crows from cornfields any easier or more surely than by stringing up twine about the fields, occasionally' adding a crossline. From my earliest recollection this was-our practice, and we suffered very little from crows; while our neighbors, who depended on scarecrows, guns, tinware or corn soaked In ta*j came out much worse. We always s^ved tbe twine from year to year, as It has to come down with the first cultivation, and *it is still strong. As to watching a field with a shotgun. It sometimes needs grit that would go through a South African war, especially if a colony of crows get it "in" for a field. A neighbor two years ago opened such a campaign, aud had to shoc/t eighteen crows, fairly finishing the entire flock, before what was left of the field was saved. It is safe to say that the crop was a good many bushels cut down by what was taken, even then. I believe in crows, as they live on Insects and mice from preference; but they must live or die. and if pre­ ferred food is not plentiful, they will d»K crops harm.

The conflagration which started on Feb. 9 in Paterson, N. J., and which destroyed some $8,000,000 worth of property,'was no exception to the rule referred to above, says Elec­ tricity. • A number of dally vtfpvn Immedi­ ately printed flaring bends claiming that the flames were started by defec­ tive wires. It was alleged that all the trouble was caused by defective insula­ tion of an electric feed wire belonging to the Jersey City, Hoboken and Paternson Traction Company. After a more careful investigation is was de­ cided that electricity was hot responsi­ ble for the damage. David Y’oung, President'of the trolley company, made the statement that there was .no electric wiring at the end of the cjusheds where the Are was said to have been first seen. As we have more than once stated in these columns, whenever a fire starts and consumes everything people are too prone to lay the blame on defective wiring. The board of fire underwriters examine into the matter and if nothing definite can be ascertained say: “Put it down to defective wiring." Thus the reports Issued by that body show apparently an immense amount of dam­ age done by electricity and Insurance rntes.consequently rise.

BUTTER PRICES BOOSTED. Oleo BH1 Baid to Have Beeu the Cauae While meat has been climbing up in price and the federal government prepar­ ing to investigate the cause, butter, too, has been busy. The antics of this staple hare been acrobatic enough to puzzle ev­ erybody not engaged in the business. The oleomargarine intents declare the price has been lioosted. by the butter speculators in anticipation of the passage of the Grout bill by Congress. This is denied by the dairymen. The fact re­ mains, however, thut on April 17 butter sold for 31Vi cents in Chicago, the high­ est price spring butter has brought in Chicago since 1803. The price of butter began to advance when the Senate took up the bill to place a tax of 10 cents a pound on oleomarga­ rine "colored in imitation of butter." The price of the commodity declined to 29 cents April 12, rose to 31^ cents April 17, and after a storm hud been roused by the high prices of butter drop­ ped to 27 cents. April 19. This the op­ ponents of the Grout bill assert was diKctly due to fears, of the butter men at the bill would fail to pass if the high prices kept up. Here is a comparative table of butter prices from the Chicago Dairy Produce, the organ of the butter interests: Cents.!■ Cents. April 17, 1&S3.

Dun & Co’s Weekly Review of Trade thns sums up conditions. The Review continues: Most large consumers of pig iron have provided- for their needs well up to the end of the year, aud consequently there is little change to report in the situation except as to small orders that appear from time to titoe. Quotations received by cable indicate that pressure in the United States has produced a decided advance abroad, and imports,.after pay­ ing duty and freight, arc extremely ex­ pensive. Movement of partially manu­ factured and finished steel prodpets con­ tinue on a large scale. Lumber and building material are haring the usual spring activity. Manufacturers of cotton goods are still behilpd with deliveries, aud active ma­ chinery is assured for some time to come. Labor disputes have been temiwrariiy ad­ justed. making the output refry heavy as compared with recent weeks, when the strikes were causing interruption. New orders are small, the recent liberal ex­ port demand being checked, it is thought,, by the fail in silver. Jobbers have re­ ceived, requests for more prompt deliv­ ery, retail trade having expanded with the warmer weather. Quotations of cot­ ton goods arc firmly held, the strength, of the raw material giving support. , In­ dependent woolen mills are working night and day. Wool moves sldwly, and in some in­ stances prices are shaded, but as a rule bidders insist on fall figures. Footwear shops at the East have few new orders, and shipments from Boston continue to decrease. Jobbers have sufficient stocks to supply the retail demand and are in­ clined to delay placing eontracta.

Up to Wednesday nearly the entire­ western country stood In need of rain. The Northwest, although abundantly moist in places, had complaints of dry soil and damage to early seeding from a considerable area. The Southwest was very dry, and in Kansas conditions were really alarming. A drought scare was getting well under way. Then came copi­ ous rains, bringing relief generally and. loosening the tension everywhere. The grain markets and the stock mar­ ket hung on the daily reports from thcdry districts. As bad news came stocks weakened and grain prices advanced, and on the more favorable reports it was the reverse. A bull market started in wheat, prices advancing materially. July wheat in Chicago sold to 78V*c, but with therain came a setback of 3 cents.

There Is still much prejudice against "the use of Incubators, bu£ as a rule, Lt -exists only with those who have bad no experience only with the machines first manufactured, and which, of course, were faulty. When It Is consid­ ered that it would require the services of seven hens to batch 100 chicks, or rather to cover 100 eggs, it Is plain to ■see that the food for these seven bens would cost more than the oil to run the Incubator, while the time required for ■caring for the hens Is much greater than caring for the Incubator. For the beginner the smaller incuba­ tors are to be prefomni, and they should be handled strictly according to the instructions that come with the ma­ chines until the operator learns from experience what changes to make. If one Intends to go Into the ixmltry business to make it pay. an Incubator and brooder are absolutely essential. As suggested, buy a machine of small capacity, not to exceed 100-egg capac­ ity. but see that It is of a reliable make. This machine will answer all purposes the first year, and the next season one .will be sufficiently experienced to oper­ ate on a larger scale. t Barnyard Turnstile.

It was late in the evening when I was lying on a divan ln,n little rending room off from the main drawing room. Thia apartment opened into a side corridor that went out and down into the garden. It had begun raining nbout dusk, and thajtuests had a dismal evening of it, savlrwben relieved from tbe monotony by Miss.Hope's fine singing. I had sought thin solitude In something of "a huff.” Miss Hope had been radiantly attentive to Sir Wilfrid, and. it seemed to me. markedly evasive of‘myself. So I had sought solitude to mope, so influenced by the neglect of the young lady that I was glad that Paula did nut notice me, as many times during an hour she passed through the reading room and anxiously. 1 thought, went along the corridor and looked out into tbe dark, dripping gar­ den as though expecting some one. I was in the midst of a waking dream, with closed eyes, when abruptly there was a clatter, then a crash, ana. ringing high above the double commotion, the shrill scream of a woman's voire, I splWug up from the divatf, and with a few quick strides had reached the cor­ ridor. There was Jerome and Paula. He had tottered backward, and losing his balance on the slippery and polished floor, had fallen heavily, striking his head with a crashing thud. The noise of the fall and the cry of alarm from Paula's lips brought every one trooping out from the drawing room. “I met him just coming in, very wet and strange looking,” exclaimed Paula Innocently. Even as she spoke Jerome opened his "Did you hear that big clock striking all the hours and quarter hours last night, sir?" .inquired our smodth waiter at the breakfast table. "Yes, I heard the church clock strik­ ing,” 1 returned absently, "until the quar­ ter after 2 had sounded." "Ah, but. air, it wasn't the church dock. That's why I took the liberty of mentioning it. Everybody in the village has been talking about it, sir.” ’ “Indeed!" Until he had spoken I had forgotten the sudden traveling of those slim gilded hands over the face of the clock at I/orn Abbey; but now 1 remem­ bered that the Woman in Gray had wound it, and knew what the man was about to say. "How do the village people explain the fact that the clock has sud­ denly begun to strike?” "Oh. ^t’s explained in different ways, sir. You see, when Mrs. Haynes was murdered everybody missed the clock, which had always struck every quarter of an hour since the oldest inhabitant could remember. Then it got round among the superstitious old bodies, sir. until everybody'd heard it, and got used to it. that if the clock In tbe tower, "The—letter!" he stuttered in a thick, should ever be set going again it would unnatural voice. "Wherp is----- ” "Tell us what it was you saw that be by old Mrs. Haynes' spirit itself, come back to try nnd tell something which '' ’ startled you so.” Again Paula spoke out . sharply. "Thank you,” faltered Jerome. "I— my head is very queer, but I remember— CHAPTER IV. it was close outside the house—only a We did not inset Miss Hope that day. few yards down the avenue.

Miss Hope look­ ed up and met my eyes, the pink-shaded randies on the piano illuminating her face. She smiled faintly, nnd began soft­ ly playing, withofit notes, some plaintive little melody which I had never heard before. This woman—angel or devil—had had the power to teach me a pew meaning in life—the meaning of love. • I was bound io marry my cousin, Paula Wynne, but I loved this other with all my heart and ‘aoul hnd mind. And a week ago I had been ignorant of her ex­ istence. I was roused from a long reverie, half pain, half pleasure, by a voice close be­ side m?. ‘ “Lady Towers sent me over here to find Mme. Patti's autograph for you. And she thinks Mary Anderson’s fa on the same page.” . Az I looked up and rose quickly to my feet, I fear I must have blushed like a school boy detected in some piece of mis­ chief, so conscious was I of the crisis I had gone through, so fearful of betray­ ing my feelings. '.‘Don't get up, for I am going to sit down here by you," said the Amber Witch. “Yon were surprise^ to find me here?’ she asked. “I hardly know.

I didn’t dream, of course, that I should Ijave an opportunity of asking him so soon. But most things come to one un­ expectedly. I have found. Haven’t you?" "Yes—of late,” I was drawn to admit in a low voice. “And Sir Wilfrid was most kind. He has promised that while he is here—while hi« secretary is unable to work—I shall be allowed to assist him. And then, later, he is thinking, it seems, of giving Mr. Jerome a holiday. If he does so, I am to lie secretary pre tern. Now, at all events, I hare surprised you.” "You have done nothing else from the first moment 1 beheld you.” "But now? You are not—displeased? It would not rex you. or—Miss Wynne, that Miss Traill and I should be, for a time, guests in your uncle's house, fel­ low-inmates with yourselves?—for it would, of course, amount to that." I knew nut what to answer, and for a moment I was dumb. "Please tell me," she said childishly. "I—I can answer for. myself that it would be a great delight;" I stammered. But even as I spoke 1 told myself that, with the knowledge of my own heart which’ this night had given me, it would be impossible for me to remain, day after day, under, the same roof with her and —my affianced wife. “You canuot answer for—Miss Wynne?’ "How could that be possible?" “I know,” Miss Hope went on, with a new meekness, “that she doesn’t like me. It has not been difficult to see that. Why should she like me? And yet, why need she be angry? I should do her and her prosjH?cts no harm. I shouldn't interfare with her in any way. You—and she may think that I am not in earnest about really working for Str Wilfrid. You may think that I don’t know how,’ and that my desire fa simply to visit in the house of n great man, nnd become intimate with his family. But I swear to you, Mr. Darkmorc, that whatever my motive may be. it is nothing so vulgar, nothing so sordid, as that” CHAPTER V. Our next day at Hazelmount passed for me like a troubled dream. In the morning Paula quarreled with her uncle over the arrangement he and Miss Hope had made for work together. My peacemaking attempts were ill receiv­ ed by her, and she delighted tn distress­ ing me by vague threats of a forthcoming revenge. It was intended that on the following morning we should have some shooting, the weather being crisp, with a light frost; and after dinner I, with all the other men, adjourned to the gun room. It was on tbe ground floor, with a door opening upon the lawn, and another Into the hall, dose to the foot of a stairway. Half way down these stairs a small win­ dow had been cut, which looked into the gun room and lighted the hall, which oth­ erwise would have been rather dark. Tbe stairs themselves afforded a short cut to the bed rooms above, nnd were a good deal used by every one In the bouse; but until (bis evening—though I had caught glimpses of the interior of the gun room through the window in going up or down—I had not happened to go inside. I could not call up tbe enthusiasm for the hunting trophies I might have felt had I owned a lighter heart, for I re­ called, with some anxiety, Paula’s threat of the morning. "Wait until to-night!" she had said, with intenaest mallee in voice and eyes. And “to night" had now arrived. Already it was after 10 o'clock. Ing to the drawing room. Aa I approach­ ed the doorway my heart bounded with a great sense of relief, for I heard the sound of the piano aud Miss Hope’s rich contralto voice ringing out in tbe grand strains of ‘The Erl King." Nothing had happened, then, after alL I waited un­ til the ringing had ceased; then I open­ “We were just thinking of joining you ail in the gun room,’’ said Paula. •‘You were really wanted there." Somehow, there seemed a hidden meaning in the way she smilingly spoke the words. "Didn’t Miss Edwards sing that song =. charmingly?' she went on, turning to Lady Towers. “Miss Edwards?

The gen­ eral tenor of crop news was much more encouraging, aside from Kansas dis­ patches. which indicate that wheat needs moisture, -although corn and oats have good prospects. Good foreign crop conditions ware cal­ culated to weaken the tone, yet exports of wheat from the United States, flour included, amounted to 5,579.637 bdshels, against 4.182.357 a year ago. Recent at­ tractive prices have brought corn to mar­ ket mure freely than in preceding weeks, but receipts of 1,686,050 buribela for the week fall far short of the 2,378^64 in the same week last year.

The people of St. Pierre were rather proud of their volcano. Mont Pelee flood firetJtw a “point of interest'’ for tourists. There has always been ple'ntv uf evidence that lite was not extinct iu Mont Pelee, but, the easy-going In­ habitants believed that the volcano w as in it* dotage, and its occasional weak mutterings only gave it added ’value us a snow place; the manifesta­ tions were never taken seriously. Not since the end ot the eighteenth century and again in 1851 had there been even weak eruptions. It is evident that during all the years the volcano has been gathering strength and that mighty forces have been at work. Dis­ patches from St. Thomas on Saturday, May 3, announced that St. Pierro had been covered with a«he* to tbe depth of one-quarter of an inch as the re­ sult of an outbreak on Mont Pelee. A second dispatch *a:d the overflow of lava had destroyed the big Guerin sugar factories at the base of the moun­ tain and near the northwest edge of St Pierre. It is evident that these warnings of the dis ate r that was to come did not alarm the people of St. Pierre. When the head of Mont Pelee blew off the inhabitants in the town below hud no chance to escape. The burning lava, tbe ashes and mud and the fire came down the hill us tbe water bad beeu coming for hundreds of years, and tbe people below were caught as flsh in a net. The only open way was the sea, and that offered nothing but death by drowning and any one who knew the town and ita people can easily imagine the scenes of wild hor­ ror that must’ hare been enacted when the excitable people realized th^escape was impossible.

It has been obvious for some time that there, is utterly lacking the artificial element tending to inflate prices that was conspicuous tn the open­ ing months 1900. The only limit to Jrioua appears to be the ability of pur­ chasers to i«iy fancy figures, according to the urgency of their heeds. Mean­ while there Is no advance on long term contracts, and these cover the large hulk of the 'business. Productive capacity is being greatly enlarged, but there is no evidence ns yet that the nation’s needs are not expanding equally fast.

Some of the Western railroads hare been reach­ ____________ ing out this week aud feel­ ing around with a view to ascertaining what may be expected in future west­ bound tonnage. The roads know the Crops will make or unmake their earn­ ings. Starting with hope and confidence In the situation, aud assuming that thia is certain to be n satisfactory crop year, they are carrying their analysis further along and covering every phase of the outlook down to the most minute details. In the advices received from agents to many points there Is much of encour­ agement. Slocks ot merchandise in the hands of country merchants in the mid­ dle west ore found to be. uu the whole, considerably lighter than is usual nt this time. In the northwest they arc moderate. The southwest is carrying light stocks an the natural result of the uncertainty and recent fear of a win­ ter wheat failure, which prompted con­ servativeness. There is no noteworthy accumulation anywhere, even in the sta­ ple commodities, which were purchased liberally early in the spring. Wheat has ruled steady and quiet, with a moderate showing of strength at times. Scarcely any wheat is coming in anywhere just nt present. North­ west stocks arc light and decreasing, and a portion of the Red River Valley is very late with seeding. With north­ western conditions paramount, wheat would probably be higher, but lu the southwest the recent heavy rains have materially improved the winter wheAt outlook, and there is a lack of bnllisb enthusiasm in consequence. For the week there was a decided falling off in wheat exports, the figures showing only 3,302.000 bushels, compared with 3.308..­ 000 in the previous week ajtd 4,179,000 Chicago.

The parade was from the capital to the monument, where the veterans of four wars mused around the pedestal for the vesper service*, in 'which the "i.ast March of the Battle Fings" was an im­ pressive feature. The chimes on Christ’s Church played “Soldier, Rest! Thy War­ fare O’er.” The color guards ot the old regiment were tenderly bearing .the tat­ tered fUigs back to their permanent rest­ ing plA:e in the capital building, while the tens of thousands of people along the way stood with uncovered heads bow­ ed in reverence. The Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument that the State of Indiana has erected at Indianapolis is among the most impos­ ing. artistic and beautiful military monu­ ments in the world. It is intended nit a lasting memorial to the sons of the State who fought during the Civil War. On the east and west sides of the base of the shaft arc two groups of stat­ uary representing War ami Peace. These are the largest grtAip* of figures erer ent from the rough stone. At a height ot about 225 feet is the platform of the cap­ ital, reached by elevators. This outlook affords a fine view of the city of Indian­ apolis. The monument has its own elec­ tric plant, which tuftihhe* power for the elevators and for the light*. The monumiMit ia -constructed of the peculiar limestone discovered in Indian* quarries in the last few years and which haa generally been sulmtituted for gran­ ite. The particular variety selected for the monument is almost cream white in color and takes a good polish. The idea of building the monument first took shape in 1875, but it was not until 1884, when the Grand Army of the Republic took charge of the work, that any progress wa* made in raising funds. Whfh something over *20.600 had l*cn collected, the State stepped in and took up the project, making an appropriation of *200.000 to build the monument And creating a State commission to take charge of the work. The corner stone was laid Ang. 22, 1889, by Benjamin Harrison, then Presi­ dent of the United States. The corner stone is a huge block of atqne 8 feet high and 4 feet 10 inches in diameter. It J* beautifuliy finished and bears a tablet on which is chiseled this inscription: "Aug. 22. 1880. Erected by the People of In­ diana. Act of General Assembly. March 3. 1887." The entire cost of the memo­ rial is *600.000. and the co*t of it a "mainten* nee will be borne by the State. For all time it will be a feature of attraction to Indianapolis and a guide to fiiture generations, teaching that lore of country and of liberty are Characteristic of the American people. The' plax* on which the monument is situated has a diameter of 342 feet and i* adorned by bronze statues of George Rogers Clark, the explorer, and 'Gov*. William Henry Harrison. Olives P. Mortou, the war Governor of the State, and James Whitcomb. In the scheme of cmlwllishmcnt ot the plaxs are included two great fountains, the largest In the U&ited States.

It touched the trees and thej- withered and shriveled to their roots. It touched the smiling plantations and they became black, ashy, lifeless. It touched the modern mansion of elegance and luxury and beauty and it. I|ke the lowly grass-thatched hut', became the plaything of destruction. It bent above the city and the proud works of man were shattered like fragile glass. It spread out upon the waters and they boiled in fury and tossed their waves in menacing convulsions---- U_cuingled with the atmosphere and it Wen me poison. Hot, sulphurous, flame-lit. the air le*came death laden aud man’s every breath an added pestilence until vitality ceased. And such a cessation of vitality! Thir­ ty thousand human lives crushed out with that pestilential breath—a whole city turned into a crematory—a miracle •of nature’s destruction wrought! To-day St. Pierre is black and desolate and Melees, save - where the searchers arc at work dragging burned, bloated, corrupting bodies from thrir ashy cover­ ing and burning them in funeral pyres. The buildings of the city arc practically -all destroyed. The very streets are ob^literated. Cinders and ashes and mud, still hot nnd smoking, lie layer upon -layer over all which a short time before was bright aud beautiful and full of life. •Off in the distance, the burning moun­ tain, still belching forth smoke and flame and ashes, stands like a satanic monster, as though proud of its execu­ tion and uncertain whether to bury the -.eager searchers in the-chy under anotb-ar avalanche of destruction. On its side a few tree trunks, bent and shattered and black, throw their ghostly outlines into view. Over all tbe scene rest* n heavy pall of sulphurous smoke—one pil.

He appointed a commis­ sion' to investigate the eruption and sent soldiers from Fort de France, the capital, to prevent people from abandoning St. Pierre. The commission reported that there was nothing In the eruption of May 5 which portended danger to St. Pierre. The report was made public Maj- 7—the day before tbe great cataclysm—and while it could not dissipate all alarm over the situation, it greatly lessened It. Tbe people went to bed on the night of May 7. hopeful, but not over-confident. Thursday morning the people looked with fearful, anxious gale toward the flaming mountain, whose mighty convul­ sions were shaking the foundations of the city. Explosion after explosion fol­ lowed in the incandescent bowels of the earth and out of its mouth tbe voltano belched torrents of fiery, ashes, sulphur­ ous aud stifling. During the early morn­ ing the sky was aflame with lurid flashes of fire from the mountain. Down In the harbor the crews and wme of the passengers on the vessels which were there riding at anchor were watch­ ing the fascinating display of energy, when at 7:50 the whole top of the moun­ tain was hurled into the air with a ter­ rific noise and a cyclone of steam, boiling mud nnd fire descended on the city and the roadstead. The land heaved ami swelled and a terrible convulsion seized tbe sea. Tbe waters rose in a huge threatening mass as though they would engulf the island. Then darkness grew dense ami the pitiful scene was hidden from view. Of the eighteen vessels in the harbor nt the time all except one perished. The upheaval of the waters dashed some of the vessels on their sides and they sank. Tbe crews jumped Into the water and there most of diem perished. It was im- Rclicf I’oura in for the Martinique and St. Vincent Sufferers. Tbe heart of the world has been touch­ ed by jhe great tragedy on the Wand of Martinique and by the great, though lesser, disaster in St. Vincent, and al­ ready relief agencies under many flags are in action. Congress appropriated $500.­ 000. to be applied under the direction of the Navy and Treasury Departments to the succor of the homeless refugees and relief ships and war vessels under the flag of the United States were soon on their way to the sadly stricken island of Martinique. Tuesday afternoon the cruis­ er Dixie left the Brooklyn navj- yard, loaded down with stores, and the same day another vessel left Porto Rico with supplies for the Islanders. Other United States vessels were hurriedly started to Martinique. In addition to the appro­ priation made by Congress, upon the rec­ ommendation of the President. Mr. Roosevelt appointed a committee, extend­ ing throughout the United States, to re­ ceive voluntary auras for the afflicted in St. Vincent and Martinique. From ail over the world relief has poured in. The King of Italy contribut- <-d $3,000; the Kaiser 10.000 marks; King Edward $5,(MX) and King O*car of Swe­ den $1,000. The government of Holland sent a vessel from tbe Dutch West In­ dies to Martinique to asaist the suffer- 1-.1 New York, Chicago and other cities appeals have Ireen made, for aid.

A TIME WHEN THEY ALL PULL TOGETHER, OCKAH OCF.M DIAGRAM SHOWING HOjW ERUPTION OF PELEE WAS CAUSED. Scientists have explained the cause of volcanic explosions. They say that from earthquake or other causes-crevices are opened in the sides of the moun­ tain below the sea level and water is thus permitted to reach the fiery fluid mass deep down in the Interior of the mountain. Steam and gases are thus created whose expansive forces are so great as to requirt; vent. Following the line of least resistance they force themselves up the long-closed vent and blow the com­ paratively new-formed top of the mountain Into the air, following it with great quantities of hot liquid mud, cinders and ashes. ■ SOUFRIERE BELCHES FIRE.

"Miss Hope has—killed the tiger —that’s all, thank heaven!” There was a general outburst of excla­ mations. but no one eared to stop 'tor more inquiries. The obvious thing to «1° was to take my -advice. and aarisfy all curiosity by coming to u» as speedily as possible through the other door. A -few moments later we could hear the soft-pat­ ter of feet as they ran over the frozen lawn, and then the gun nwm was invad­ ed by the men of the house nud several servants in .various stages of drahsrbllle. Everybody iu the house bad fathered is the smoking room, with only two ab­ sentees—Paula and the Invalid Jerome. ■One of the grooms had been sent ofl post-haste to the village, a mile-away, for a surgeon to dress-my wounded shoulder. There seemed n strange fascination for them all in asking the ramc questions over again, and receiving the same -an­ swers. • Feverishly ready to talk ns Miss Hope had apparently become at last, there was still one portion of the engrossing subject on which she remained oddly reticent, and this led me to think that her volu­ bility, on all other* had in it a certain method. - She evaded inquiries as to how she had happened to go into the gun room, trying to make it appear that she had seen the firelight, and chanced to wander in for a moment before going uputalrs to her room. “Then," she hurried on, as though to make the listeners forget that her expla­ nation had been unsatisfactory. "I walk­ ed over to the fire, and, as I stood look­ ing Into it, 1 heard a noise at the other end of the room, something like the pur­ ring of nn enhnnous cat, I turned my bead, and saw a pair of big eyes glaring at me. It wasn’t long before I knew just what was there; that it must have crept in through the open door on the lawn be­ fore I came into the room. Suddenly I heard a great crash, saw that a man had leaped through the window over the stairs, and that tbe tiger had turned on him. I didn’t know who it was at first, though I think I must have supposed it to be Mr. Darkmore even then—for there’s nobody else in the world so tall as be! But I was sure he had made that leap to save me, and now it was my turn to do something if I could. Quite through a-lfish motives, you know, for 1 fancied the tiger was equal to disposing of us both, all In good time. Lucidly, I know something about firearms, aud, far more fortunate still, the gun I snatched was loaded; else I should have hnd to beat the tiger about the head, which mightn't have been so successful. That is all—all my part, and Mr. Darkmore is too modest to speak of hia," she said, with a voice that trembled between tears and laugh­ ter. “But the locked door? I don’t under­ stand that," pondered Sir Thomas per­ sistently. A week later it seemed as though Paula had gone completely out of our lives. The party at Hazelmount had broken up. Miss Hope had left abruptly, saying she was going to a friend at a distance, and Paula, strangely morbid and mysterious, had left home as soon us we got back to London, announcing in a note sent to Sir Wilfrid that she no long­ er cared to remain under a roof shelter­ ing persons whom "the wiles of a siren had alienated frorii their former love aud duty” to herself. We made some inquiries, but found no trace of her. and then, knowing her will­ ful. erratic nature, deemed It best to await her xaluntary return, satisfied that she was on a protracted visit to some one of her many old school friends. Later we learned she was traveling in France or Italy with the Annesleya, people my uncle had never liked. Jerome, Uncle Wilfrid’s secretary, was also absent, ostensibly on a holiday. The weeks passed, nnd the Woman In Gray did not return to town, as she bad said she meant to do. Whether or not Uncle Wilfrid was iu the secret of her goings and comings I did not know; but one morning at breakfast I fancied, by the way in which Memyss, the butler, was dismissed, that my unde had something particular to say to me. “Terry!” he began, as soon as tbe door had closed after ttye servant, "I want your congratulations." "Shall I offer them on faith 7* I asked, smiling. "Not quite.

So great was tbe revulsion of feeling, so intense the sense of relief, that I scarcely trusted my voice to speak. ‘Two questions. Terry,” be gently said.

TKU8T IN LAW’S GK1P. MEAT BARONS CHARGED WITH VIOLATING 8HERMAN ACT. Government Attorney* Aliens theComblue Effected u Pact to Fix Price*— "Bin Rix” Corporation* of Chicago nnd 'Elsewhere Defendant*. SUx violations of the Sherman anti-trust arc alleged against Chicago packenr in” a plea- for a temporary injunction filed Saturday in the United States Cir­ cuit Court at Chicago by United States District Attorney Sei H. Bethea. The bill asks that the packing companies and their officers be restrained from furthe>practice of. the violation of law and urges that they be compelled to bring their books into court that full and com­ prehensive investigation of their business may be made. In addition to tiling the bill of specifications against the packers District Attorney Bethea baa announced that be will malic a motion tor a tem­ porary injunction against the various corporation* in the trust. The, allegation* are fiiuch the same that hate .been made (Unofficially from time to time. Truth of three has been admitted by the packers, wbo assert they have been justified by United States and State courts. ■ The moat important fact set up by the government is that the packing firms named as defendants iu the bill have from time to time sent representatives to meetings at which prices hove been fixed. This charge is made in the eighth section of the bill. The accusation is that the meetings have been attended by representatives of all tbe companies and have been held at various interval*. In addition to fixing and regulating prices the men who attended the meeting are alleged to have fixed penalties for viola­ tions of their agreement and to have agreed to the "blacklisting” of retail dealers who were posted as delinquents. The gist of the six points made in the government’s complaint follows: That the packing firms, through their representatives, held meetings at which meat price* have been fixed. SPAIN'S BOY KING. HOW BEEF PRICES HAVE ADVANCED. The figures with n line through them are the normal city prices of the different cuts of meat. The other figures show present prices of the same cuts. On the cheaper cuts it Is larger than on the more expensive one*. The price of Jeg cut* has increased 50 per cent; that of-sirloin; 25 per cent; of flank. 33 per cent. That they hare inttructed their agents in various stock markets to refrain from bidding against each other, thus reducing buying rates. That they have instructed their agents to bid up prices la order to induce stock raisers to make large shipments and have Wen lowered the prices on delivery, obtaining cattle at unreasonable prices. That they have entered into an agree­ ment to charge uniform prices for tbe delivery of goods, thus Increasing "cart­ age’’ prices and putting up the price* of Best. That they have entered into agreements with railroad companies by which they received rebates and special privilege* in violation of the interstate commerce laws. That they have entered Into a conspir­ acy with railroads and their representa­ tives to obtain a monopoly of the cattle markets. The last two charges affect fte rail­ roads. but tb-.y are not made defendants in the bill, as the proof of the charges must depend upon evidence that their offi­ cer* can give. Each and every one of the charges is alleged to be a violation of the Sherman anti-trust law of July 2,"1890. It is said in tne bill that the packers will continue their business operations as heretofore until restrained from doing so by an in­ junction. Tbe bill names as defendants the pack­ ing firms that form what is known as the "big six.” In addition to naming the companies the bill designates twenty-four of their officers aud directors. The cor­ porations named in the bill as defendants •re: Swift & Co., of Illinois. The Cudahy Packing Company, of Illinois. The Hammond Packing Company, of Illinois. Armour & Co., of Illinois. The Armour Packing Company, of New Jersey. The G. H. Hammond Company, of Michigan. ', Schwarzschild & Sulzberger Company, of New Y’ork. Nelson Morris, Edward Morris and Irn N.

Houses were lifted from their foundations and borne along in the resistless tide. One dwelling, in which four families lived, was carried n quarter of a mile and two of its occupants lost their lives. Great damage was caused on both sides of the river.

John Teeter*, Who Joined Band of Mun Named Harris, Attempt* Suicide. The first blow against the big packing houses charged with maintaining a meat trust was struck in the United States Circuit Court .at Chicago Tuesday after­ noon.. Judge Peter S. Grosscup, after a hearing, granted the motion of the United. States for a temporary injunction re­ straining the defendant packers from fur­ ther operations under the alleged illegal agreements “in restraint of trade and commerce” complained of in the bill for an injunction. There was no resistance on the part of the defendants to the granting of the motion. John 8. Miller, as their general counsel, consented to the entering of the order as prayed by the government. At the same time Mr. Miller stated the po­ sition the packera would take in the case. In effect the statement amounts to a .denial of the allegations of the gov­ ernment and a demand for a full and complete hearing of the cast later. In accordance with the practice of the Unit­ ed S(atcs courts. ‘Evidence which .is expected to pluy a prominent part in the prosecution of the canes was disclosed in the affidavit of D. W. Meredith, a former employe of Ar­ mour & Co. and Swift & Co. Meredith gives the details of alleged meetings of the packers* Eastern agents to regulate prices, apportion territory, aud take oth­ er steps to prevent unprofitable competi­ tion. Mr. Meredith charges that, to force up prices, the shipment of cattle to the East was checked at different times. The former employe also gives the details of the alleged “blacklist” maintained by the packers, and declares that when a company was fined for violation of agree­ ment that the employe at fault was com­ pelled to pay the fine or be discharged. Once'discharged, the affidavit alleges, the man found it impossible To secure em­ ployment from any of the “big six.” Raya They Arc Not Guilty. In consenting to the granting of the restraining order the counsel for the de­ fendants specifically stated that in view of the fact the defendants denied all the charges against them they could not be harmed by an order intended to prevent operations of which they had not been guilty and which they did not contem­ plate. Thereupon, after nn argument between the opposing counsel over the wording of the restraining order. Judge Grosscup himself dictated an order acceptable to all and it was entered of record in the court. The temporary injunction is now in full force aud effect. In case of a violation of any of the terms of the order the defendants would be subject to contempt proceedings, pun­ ishable by a fine or by imprisonment or both in the discretion of the court. In the regular course of practice the defendants have until July 7 to enter their appearance and until Aug. 4 to file nn answer, demurrer, or plea. Unless the defense should move a dissolution of the restraining order no developments are expected in the case until that time. That the defendants will seek to in­ terpose a legal defense to the govern­ ment’s suit is regarded as assured ns a result of the preliminary hearing. That is the opinion of Solicitor General J. K. Richards and United States Attorney S. II. Bethea and others interested in the case. ______ '. < The Rev.

THE HEART OF MEMORIAL DAY. "I really wish," said Mrs. Maxwell to "her daughter Belle, "that you would be more polite to Mr. Cirry-” suppose, mother," replied Belle, with the independence of a true American ®irl, “that I could be polite to a horse or a cow, if there was anything in particu­ lar to be gained by it Now please tell me why I should try to be polite to- that sarcastic, cold, heartless creature, Lean­ der Cugry." "Why. Belle? you ought to know. He is worth a quarter of a million." “Indeed! I’m glad. then, that he’s got one recommendation. I don't know of Another.'* The widow sighed and looked rather •distressfully at her handsome but plainspoken daughter. “Belle Maxwell," she said, “more and more every day do you grow like your poor father. He was just so proud-splyited—just bo independent." “I’m glad to benr._k._jxm!, I hope 1 may always deserve to be spoken of in that way. To be the daughter of one of the heroes who fell nt Chickamauga, fighting for the Union and the old flag, and to resemble him as I grow up—I think that is glory enough tor a poor <irl like me. Poor, dear father!—how ■well I remember how fine he looked in his major’s uniform when he took me ■up and kissed me. aa he went back from his Icavg of absence. Just before that bat­ tle! I was only a little thing; but the recollection will never be blotted out from my memory." Such a reminiscence as this very nat'Urally set good Mrs. Maxwell crying, and for a moment the subject of .their con­ versation was forgotten. It was brought up again by the ring of the door bell. “That’s his ring," said Mrs. Maxwell, hurriedly drying ber eyes. "Now do try and treat him well. Just think what a chance It would be for you. Belle! 1 know he likes you.” This was rather more than the widow had said yet to her daughter on the sub­ ject. She was a good-hearted woman, •but the prospect of having Mr. Curi-y for a aon-io-law had rather upset her usually level head. She had made n great many plan in secret, based on that desirable event. Tbe death of her husf>and in the war had left her poor, with nothing to rely on but her daughter's mu■sical abilities, the exercise of which now gave the two a very cornfortabjp snp,port. Belle waa a good girl, as well as handsome and clever, and cheerfully la­ bored for her mother and herself. She was probably as happy in her indepen­ dence and iu the love of her work and ber home as any girl in the city. Sovue years having passed since the fall of Major Maxwell among the country’s he­ roes, the widow’s grief had become blunt­ ed, and the, too, was enjoying a certain happiness. That is, she hod been, until Che advent of Mr. Curry and his marked .stteationi to her daughter threw the good woman into a flutter of excitement and .anticipation. Nothing is so disturbing to the average person as n remote and uncertain prospect of wealth; and the truth Is iu this case that Mrs. Maxwell lay awake the greater portion of several aughts, speculating abojit wh« would happen when Belle would become the rich Mrs. Curry. The young lady herself was not In the least disturbed by any such prospect. The man was positively disagreeable to her. He was gentlemanly In his waya, cold and unemotional: one,to whom generous impulses, were strangers. He was devot­ ed to the*coro of the large fortune that had been left him by his late uncle, a great war contractor, and was constant­ ly looking out for chances to swell It by speculation. This was the last man that might naturally be expected Io fall in love. But "beauty draws- us by a single hair.” and the first sight of Belle Maxwell effectually did the business for Leander Curry. He had been prevailed upon, against his custom, to buy a ticket for a charity concert in which “home tal­ ent" was largely to be represented. Tbe gem of tbe evening proved to be a song by Miss Belle Maxwell, which was heart­ ily applauded and encored. The grace and beauty, as .well as the pure, sweet voice of the sjnger. made a ddcp impres­ sion upon tbe vast audience, and they actually stayck some sparks from Mr. Curry’s flinty heart. He came, saw. heard—ami was conquered. He became a frequent caller at the humble Maxwell home; and this condition ft things had been In progress for some mouths at '•the, time that our sketch opens. All this time we have left Mr. Curry standing at the door, while our necessary explanation has been made. He might still be standing there, for all Miss Max­ wall would do to admit him;! and the widow, seeing Belle’s perfect indiffer­ ence. answered the ring herself, in a great state of vexation. She presently returned with the caller, who saluted the yonng lady, receiving a distant return. Mr. Curry was practical, at-least, and never wasted time. Tho particular object of his cal! was made known before he had taken a seat. "Miss Maxwell, I have lately bought n pair of fine trotters, and have not yet had them out on a long ride. I am go­ ing over to Ridgford to-morrow, and I should be pleased to have you accompany me. It Is a business trip, but I think It will be a pleasant one. It will, of course, take all day." The widow's heart leaped. Things were getting on admirably. For her daughter to be seen rjding with Mr. Curry behind those trotters was almost as good as an engagement <*f marriage. She had never heard ot his taking a lady .out to drive. The next instant Belk* made a reply that gar? her mother n chill. “I am greatly obliged to you, sir; but It would be impossible for me to go to­ morrow. I have promised to sing at the public Memorial Day exercises ja the square,** "You should not decline on that ac­ count,” the mother eagerly put in. “You can* get them to excuse you. There are others that can sing. Gb with Mr. Curry, by all means." The girl looked at both her mother and the gentleman with, a quiet but se­ vere dignity. She was a dutiful child; but there ar** occasions when a mild re­ proof from' child to parent Is the correct thing: and it was so now. "I shall sing at the exerebta, as I promised,” she said, decidedly. "Ever since the war closed, from the time I wa* a little girl, I have taken part in the observance ot this day, and I shall da so as long as I live. Y'ou surely can't mean to advise me against It, mother?’ "No, Belle, you know I would not; bat this is an unusual invitation----- " "It must be d^cHned,” wav the firm interruption. Mr. Curry was very much vexed, and was indiscreet enough to show it. He waa also foolish enough to say some things in his vexation, which, while cor­ rectly representing his own narrow views, were very impolitic things to aay in this house. “I am much disappointed, Miss Max­ well, at your refusal.” She did not think It necessary to say that she too was sorry; for she was not sorry.'and this was the last man on e.irth that she jronld teli a white lie to, for the sake ut mere politeness. “And I am rather surprised." hr pur­ sued. "that you Should prefer such a meaningk-ss show to n pleasant ride In the country at this charming season." Meaningless sbowk The blood of her heroic sirt* flushed up in the girl’s cheek at tbe words; but she kept back her tem­ per, and kept silence. "It has always seemed to me to be a very silly parade of false sentiment,” the doomed man went on. "The soldiers en­ listed as n mere matter of business; they wore paid for their worm those that did took that risk st the start; the account was cloaed som • years ago. For sensi­ ble people to get up these ■Observance* every year,. to sing, and pray, and pala­ ver, aud have a great fua* with flowers over s pack of dead Midlers seems to me the very foam of folly. I wish---- ’’ He never had tbe-opportunity to ex­ press hi* wish. Belle Maxwell bounded frdm ber chair with flashing eyes and burning face. “Mr. Curry.’ snch sentiments arc dis­ graceful!" she cried. "I won’t ait here and listen to them. Mother, if you get any pleasure from this man’s company you may stay here and enjoy It; 1 must be excused.” . She abruptly withdrew to her own room. ’ On the following day Mr. Curry drove his splendid trotter* over to Ridgford alone, thinking along the way a great deal about his investments and alternat­ ing these reflections with others about the curious nature of girls. Belle Maxwell participated in the ten­ der and touching ceremonies of the day; and many remarked that her voice had never sounded so sweet as when she sang “They Sleep the Sweet Sleep of the Brave.” A tall young veteran walked by her side as they went to the adjoining ceme­ tery to witness the ceremony. There was much talk between the two. In the course, of which she observed that he hud not called upon her lately.* “No," he said; "and I believe no man has but Mr. Curry." “If you mention that odious man's name to me again. I’ll never speak to you,” she said. The tall young veteran was very glad to hear this, and he governed himself ac­ cordingly. And he conducted himself generally in such a way toward Belle Maxwell that before another Memorial Day the two were married. Years have elapsed since then. Noth­ ing in our country is more common than a sudden reverse of fortune; yet such ex­ amples are always surprising. It will not astonish the reader to learn that the tall young veteran became ua inventor and accumulated a great fortune by his pat­ ents; but it may occasion a mild surprise when it is stated that Mr. Curry lost every dollar in speculation. and is now earning ten dollars a week in the employ of Belle's husband. And old JIrr, Max­ well, sitting by the happy fireside of her daughter, with her grandchildren about her, has often confessed to herself that Belle's way was the best. curia, among which waa a crimson mass, an’—an' that was Jimmy."

One o’ the rets leaped forward and was jist goin’ to lay out our colonel, when up flew his arm an’ he fell dead from Jltnmy's shot. Then other Confederates sprang at us, aud we had a lively time, and we all fought .like tigers. Ah. me! ah. me!” “Was Jimmy killed then?’ “Jimmy?

Colombia’s emerald mines, which have not been worked since the eight­ eenth century, are to be re-opened and operated by a company of American and British capitalists. -The mines, in tbe Cliivor district, are practically In the same condition as they were in 1792, when they were closed by order of the King of Spain, because their operation was no longer profitable, owing to the low price of eaieralds. .Colombia is a rich country and has many valuable deposits of gold, sil­ ver, and precious stones, but on ac­ count of the scarcity of labor the aborigines do most of the work in the mines, and they use only the rudest implements of wood and stone. The great difficulty that confronts a pros­ pector lu Colombia is the method of transportation. The country is the most mountainous in the world, and the only means of sending freight to tho coast is by pack mules and by boat on the great rivers, which Is most dif­ ficult and expensive. "The diamond Is no longer the most expensive gem," said nn old miner. “As regards monetary value, it Is faj surpassed by the ruby and the emer­ ald. and even tlie pearl is lated high­ er. The emerald is at present the most fashionable stone, and' brings good prices. An emerald of medium sise and purity that may have cost about $-'»0 a few years ago cannot be had to-day for less than $230. Re­ cently an emerald of three carats was sold for $875, while one of six carats brought $4,000. A diamond or exactly the same ftlxe costs about $1,000. It must nor be assumed, however, that diamonds are depreciating tn value. Other stones, and especially emeralds, simply have risen In price of late in a surprising manner.’’ SPAIN'S TOUNO RULER. tied our during the week of celebration dosed fittingly with the greatest of pa­ geant*. Madrid wa* filled with an im­ mense crowd of visitors fA>m all parts of Spain aud the world. Just a* in Lon­ don. where member* of the aristocracy vie with one another in attempting to make the most of the opportunity, tho grandees of Spain on this occasion en­ deavored to maintain their reputation for splendor. Throughout the proceeding* the queen another, who for the last sixteen years has been unremitting in her pare and at­ tention to this boy. remained nt his side. She, too. was acclaimed iu the streets of the capital during the procession to and from the Cortes, for the queen has won tbe hearts of the Spaniards, who at first were inclined to look upon her with dis­ trust. All Eye* on Alfonso. Will Alfonso be a good king? Will he be strong enough to combat, the thou­ sand and one discordant elements that harass Spain? Will hr be a master or merely a titular sovereign? Will he be able to cope with the intrigue that has paralyzed the activities of his country for many years? In short, will he be king in fact as well aa in name? These are questions which are up;>ermo«t In the minds not only of SpaniaMs but of responsible statesmen throughout Eu­ rope. Some affect to have discovered in him the weaknesses of his father, who was not strong enough to fight the royal battle.

Terrible Result of an Exploaioa at Coal Creek, Tenn. 'The Fratcrville and Thistle coal mine* at Coal Creek. Tenn., exploded Monday morning. Only one man escaped, he be­ ing blown out of tbe mine. About 300 men were at work in the mine*. Flames issued from mouth* and vent hole*. The Fratervllie mine is in Anderson County. Tenn«‘*<re. This is .the oldest mine in the Coal Creek district, having been opened in 1870. A large area has been developed and worked in it. The Cool Creek coal seam is struuk by this mine, the hard and tenactou* top averag­ ing four and n halt feet iu thickaes*. Fratervllie mine always had been con­ sidered uDe of tbe safest in the Cohl Creek belt George N. Camp, superintendent ot th* Thistle mine, gave out an official state­ ment estimating the number killed in both mines at 150. Two rescuing parties were started into the Thistle and Fratervllie entrances as soon a* possible after the explosion. The Thistle party wa* unable to make head­ way, as the ga* stifled the men almo*t as soon ft* they entered the »haft.

The appropriations to be made by Con­ gress at the preaeht session do not threat­ en to exceed the appropriations of the last session. buL on the contrary, proba­ bly will rail a few million* short. The appropriations made at the last seasion ot Congress amounted to $730,000,OiW, and did not include the river and harbor bill. A river and harbor bill carrying di­ rect appropriation of $29,000,000 will l»e passed this session. The total appropria­ tions of this session. Including that bill, will probably be $730,000,000. Thus if the river and harbor bill had iteen passed at the last session the to,tai would have been $759,000,000, preventing then-fore the contrast with the probable appropria­ tion*' of thia session favorable to the' present Congress. The appropriations .for 1898 made at last session of tbe Fifty­ fourth Congfes* nmountwl tb $485,000,­ 000, thnt being the last fiscal year be­ fore the beginning of the Spanish-Anx-rican war. The following year, which cov­ ered the sabsjantial expenses for prose­ cuting that war. the appropriations amounted to $893,000,000. In 1898, the army bill carried nearly $23,OW,OOO, while for the oming fiscal year the bill will probably tarry $92,000,000. The naval bill for the . ear 1896 appropriated $33,000,000, and the naval bill of this season will carry probably $78,000,000. > The United States Seuate represents In its membership almost every phase of professional and industrial activity.

It is only a whim, but 1 have a strange yearning for'that bouse. 1 want the new order of things to commence So tbe formal adoption of Consuelo Hope ns the daughter of Sir Wilfrid Am­ ory was to be celebrated by a dinner and a ball, which would also constitute the “house-warming" at the newly purchas­ ed, newly decorated Lorn Abbey, one night during thejsecond week in April. I had taken chambers in Whitehall Court, and was to spend Saturday and Sunday at the Abbey when 1 chose. But it bad been a whim of Uncle Wilfrid’s, and possibly of Miss Hope's, that 1 was not to see the old place until the night of the ball, when all the alteration^ and improvement* would be complete and tbe Uncle Wilfrid had gone down the night before, following the staff of servants, and Lady Towers had promised to take Miss Hope on the day of the "house­ warming.” herself remaining afterward for u week or more. Au odd scipe of being in the midst of a dream was upon me ar I got out of the train at tbe railway station at Marten­ head. I sent on my luggage and decided to walk up to the Abbey, having purpose­ ly failed to specify the train by which ’I would arrive. • Presently I crossed the last stile, and found myself in the straggling outskirts of the village. Then on past the alburnum-bowered cottages and smart new vil­ las, and along the road leading to Lorn Abbey, already arched over with the green and white of chestnut trees in bloom. I remembered noticing on my first visit to the place in the autumn, that the cot- "To let—unfurnished,’' but now it had evidently been lately taken. I glanced carelessly up. wondering -if the new inmates of The Nest would prove to be acquaintances or strangers, when a sudden flash of vivid scarlet color be­ tween the curtains of a central window caught and arrested my eye. A wbman. dressed in red. was peeping out at me. I walked on thoughtfully. Why had my uncle's new neighbors tnought it neces­ sary tq hide themselves from me? I bad reached the tali Abbey gates, and seeu a couple of little children playing at the door of the long, empty and deserted lodge, when a whim seised me to enter by particular time, therefore a slight detour could inconvenience nobody. I walked on, past the high wall and long stretch of hedge, newly trimmed, un­ til 1 had left behind me the limits of the park and reached the outlying meadows which on that side bounded the estate. At the corner of a triangular-shaped field was a stile, and I leaped over, skirting along the hedgq within. In tbe distance gleamed the river, and half way bqtt^eeu loomed the tall tree which sheltered the crave ot the murderess, Florence Haynes. Now, to my surprise, I found that some one else had been before me. The tall figure of a man was silhouetted against the sunny yellow-green background, and I could see that he was standing still, with bent head, aud bands behind- him. close to the sjtot where’ tficF'stone indi­ cating the low grave rose above the His back was toward me, and my foot­ falls on the springy turf did not warn him of my approach. I had got close haired, and well dressed, before tie­ crackling of some small twig under the pressure of my boot caused him to start and glance over his shoulder. That movement showed me a face which, once seen, and only for an instant, would nev­ er he forgotten. Even had he not turn­ ed to regard me deliberately, as I drew nearer to him, I should have known the man again after a lapse of twenty years. Ir would have been impossible to fancy a handsomer face. It was too bandsome, indeed, to belong to any one save an actor, worshiped by fool’ah girls, or an artist's model: and yet there was a certain latent suggestion of strength in it, too. that now I have undertaken new duties, new responsibilities." ' "If you.do, will you dance for the first time with me?’ "I -should like to say ’Yes,’ and Sir Wilfrid would like it, I think. Yet, do you know, there is something supernat­ ural about me to-night. I---- ’’ “1 always thought that," I interpolatBut she did not appear to hear my words. "I seem to know things before they happen." she went on. “For in­ stance, I' knew that you were going to ask me to dance the first dance. But 1 kuow, too. that something will prevent me doing so even if I accept. Isn’t that strange? I am feverish with many preseutiments,"** ■ “If you need help,” I exclaimed, "and f could give it yon?’ "Ab. if you knew how I needed help! But there is no one who can give it to me, not even the friend who has been kindest to me in all th<» world. I think you know him,” ahe went on in an oddly apologetic way. “I beard you raentiou him. It was when you spoka of that wicked or unfortuuate woman who died in prison and lies buries) out there in the lonely ;'.eld by the river—Florence Haynes. He defended her in court dur­ ing her trial for murder, I think you said." . “Do you mean Tom Gordon?" I in­ quired in tbe unreasoning anger of jeal­ ousy."Yes, I mean Tom Gordon. Sir Wil­ frid knows he is my friend. He asked him here to-night. I hope, but I am not sure, that he will’come." , "At least any you wil! give me the first dance," 1 pleaded obatinately. “I will take the risk of your not being able to fulfill your promise. - And if I am not to have it with you, it shall be with no one else. Will you make the same bargain?” “You mean, promise not to dance it with any one but you?" "Yes; if **ordon comes, for instance, don’t give it to him." The Woman in Gray usually bid her changes of feeling or emefion under a veil, which I was not astute enough to penetrate. But now, to my surprise, a rich wave of rosy color swept over the face which had been so pearly fair. “Mr. Gordon does not often ask favors of me. He demands them as rights. And I—must grant them." For a moment I lost my head. I for­ got that I, nt all events, had no "rights'* over ber. I was conscious only of my love for her, the pang of jealous agony which smote me, and tbe desire to be piut out of my misery. “What is he to you that you, who rule other men. should be ruled by him?' I broke out. “What has he done to---- ” The look on her face, checked me, and the word died on’ my lips. "Finish your sentence. You must, now," she said, in a half-whisper. “Forgive me; I know I have no right. I was going to ask if you had given him a promise—to be his wife.” “Oh, do: not that.” She smiled again, as df relieved, and turned abruptly awn;. Then a stream of guests begun arriving. I had had her to myself for three minutes; it wan all I could expect. But later, when the danc­ ing was about to begin, I came and stood before her, waiting. “I claim this waits," I said, with a certain seriousness beyond whut the oc­ casion warranted. Somehow, I did not stop to question why het consent or re­ fusal sceuied to menu a great deal be­ yond the mere promise of a dance to me. “You claim it? Isn't that rather arbi­ trary? But, after all, my presentiment does not seem likely to be fulfilled." The music of "Life Is a’Dream" throb­ bed iu tbe air. People were beginning to dunce. I boldly laid my arm round her waist, and her pearl-hidden hand was on my shouldtr. ■ In v*other instant we should have mov^ ed away together, but a harsh voice broke in upon the charm.

It seemed hardly necessary for me to wait for nn invitation, did it?’ “Not if you choose to come.”. “Besides. Mr. and Mrs. Annesley. who are fond of the river, and 1 know I like it, have taken a cottage in the- neighbor­ hood. -It Is called The Nest.” “Ah! Then It was you I saw at the window there in a red gown this after­ noon?” "Did •you see some .one? If you nad recognised me or Mrs. Annesley* then it would have s|)oiled the effect.

She had made up her mind that be would be able-to recognise, the Woman in Gray. He was tbe stepson of an ex-servant. That alone, I thought, would have been enough to ban him in her eyes, had she had nothing to gain from his acquaintance. Noy she was still leaning on his arm. with a certain air of confidence ami good-fellowship. "Uncle Wilfrid has told me that he is ready and willing to forget,” Paula said, looking up at me with a peculiar burning glance. "I asked him, though It was hard, for I don't like humiliating myself. “Gladly, if you consider that 1 have anything to forgive you.” “Not that I mean to beg Uncle Wilfrid to take me back," she went on. “I am emancipated: and, besides, to-night he has formally and publicly filled my place. But we can all be friends. Don’t mind my saying thia before Mr. Hayncs-Haviland. He has been with us so much of late that our affairs are no secret to him. And now there is some one else who must forgive me for past rudeness, else my state of beatification will not be complete —I menu Miss Hope. Take me to her, please." "She is dancing. I dare say," I answer­ ed confusedly. "There are so many old friends of yours here, Paula, who will be glad and surprised to see you. Better stop and greet them first." "No. They can wait.” "I will take you. then ” I said. "But Mr. Haynes-Haviland should not be com­ pelled to lose a dance. I will introduce him to a partner." “Mr. Haynes-Haviland is going to dance with me by and by." And Paula looked up at him bewitchingly. “Miss Wynne has excited my curiosity in regard to this wonderful Miss Hope," said he. ' "I cannot help you,"' I answered. “1 don’t know where Miss Hope is to be found.” "Ah, If you won’t. Uncle Wilfrid will.” She almost pushed just me, clinging still to the man whom she appeared '•ompletely to have subjugated. I did not wait to see what they would do.

There was a rustle of silken skirts along the floor, accompanied by the step of a man, and then followed the creaking of a seat as one or more (iersons subsided upon it. I began to feel distinctly uncomforta­ ble. It would not be pleasant to overhear a snatch of love-making, perhaps even a proposal of marriage; but where I wH I was completely hemmed in. As I hesi­ tated tbe man s(>oke. Instantly, though I had not met him for years, I knew that I was listening to Tom Gordon, the fam­ ous barrister who had pleaded tbe inno­ cence of the dead Florence Haynes.

At a meeting of the board Monday night the bids were opened. Only two bids were In, the lowest being that of W. J. Liebhauser at 814,650, the other being from H. L. Vanderborst of Kal­ A r.

All of the hide are, of course, awav outside the monev available for build­ ing purposes, ana it is the belief of the board that it will be possible to save quite an amount of money by having the building constructed themselves, under the supervision of a competent man. They accordingly elected W. J. Liebhauser superintendent of con­ struction, at a salary of 83.50 per day, and O. M. McLaughlin of the school to 3, and 7 to S p. tn. Call* In board and C. M.

The winning team was made up of high school players and old-timers, who played, ball many summers ago, and the aggregation had not practiced together this season.

The game was a good one to witness and several brilliant plays were made, including a snappy double play. The home team made few errors, and these were excusable considering the fact that the boys had not played together before thia time.

Just now, when the cost of living, the value of wages, "what you can buy with a" dollar’’ are under such sen ous discussion tbroughont the country, these facts are b.»ch interesting, and im­ portant. In working out his figure* Col. Wright has used what he calls a base price. Thia price is the average wholesale price of , r.n article throughout a curtain period.

I could not . at­ tempt to keep her, and I should have stood still as she passed me by had not the dporway from the drawing room sud­ denly toen blocked by-a group ot people —Paula, Uncle Wilfrid and the man who called himself Haynes-Haviland. The crisis. whatever it might be. bad come.*-and. with my blood returning on my heart with a great rush, I stepped forward to the side of the Woman tn Gray. "Consuelo.” said my unde, "rbave brought you one who wishes tor your for­ giveness, and would hot to content to_ wait when I urged that another time might to more suitable than this.” “Your forgiveness for many things. Miss Hope,” went on Paula glibly, hold­ ing out her hand. “I have been wonder­ ing if I can partially atone by Introduc­ ing to you an old friend of your own. It is always *■> pleasant to nyn-t old friends from whom one has been separat­ ed. so delightful jo to the one to bring them together.'* And ah- indicated, with a little bend of her head, the handsome, saintly faced man at her side. ’ “I. don't quite understand." gently breathed Consuelo. “An old friend. you •ay? Why. have we ever met before?" —smiling, child-like, at him. ’ “I don’t know what to think. I—I am at a loss," he stammered. "And I." sweetly said Consuelo Hope, “never until to-night Jieard of a Mr. Haynes-Haviland.” "I’m disappointed,” exclaimed Paula. I with an effort at lightness. "I fancied , I was bringing about a meeting of old j acquaintances. But. at all events, you both know Lorn Abbey. You will have much in common. Come, Mr. HnynenHaviland"—very playfully—"shake hand' hands with Miss Hope, and be friends." Obediently he put out his slim brown hand, sleek nndsnaky-lookiug ns an East Indian's. Once more that blue light of malice flamed forth from the saint-like •yes. His Augers touched Consuelo's as the slowly extended her hand to meet, his. and then with a gasp and a shudder rite, drew back. CHAPTER IX. “Take me away,” whispered Consuelo to Uncle Wilfrid, with a sob catching her ▼oice. “This dance—I—I must go—I have promised it.” ■ "Great heavens!” I heard Haynes-Hav­ iland mutter, and I turned on him. His very lips were white and hung apart, while his eyes, were riveted on the hand under the sheath of pearls. Everybody said that the ball was a great success. Lorn Abbey had been transformed Into fairyland. But I went through it all as on< who has been byje qotixed. After it was all over I was in my own room—the haunted room of the tower. I had dressed hastily for dinner in the evening, and had scarcely had time to bestow a moment's thought on my new quarters until now. The old-fashioned furniture and that dFeadful canopied tod, where tto mur­ dered woman had lain, had been replaced with, modern and artistic fittings. I could not sleep. Strange shadowy shapes loomed fantastically across the wall with the wavering glow of the fire. An eeriness that wna a part of the night and silence and remoteness crept over me. chilling my flesh. Suddenly I gave a great start, and leaped up to my elbow. The fire had flickered for the last time, and a pall of darkness curtained the nwm. Something was moving and breathing stealthily over the head of the tod.-- L could * hear n board creaking faintly under a slight footfall; yet I was positive that I had locked my door, and there was no other mode cither of ingress or egress. In another instant, it semed, the pres­ ence—whatever it might be—would have touched me. I should to feeling those long, sighing breaths fanning my very face. With a shudder of something near­ er supernatural horror than I had ever known- before. I sprang out of bed, and. feeling through the darkness for the mantel, struck a match. The flame of the wax vesta flared up brightly for an instant, making a circle of light for a few yards around me; and, as the fitful flicker broke into the gloom, I had an impression—rather than actual­ ly saw—that some small object moved ■long the wail, half-way between the floor and ceiling. I too* a couple of quick steps toward it, and as I did so it disappeared, actually seeming to melt into Invisibility. 1 waited a moment or two, motionless, and then, as the match burnt my hand, I involuntarily blew it out before light­ ing the dressing table candles, as I had intended to do. No sooner was I once more in darkness than a sound, between a sigh and a groan, jarred the silence. . I was not a superstitious man, and in such crises as had so far come to me during my twenty-nine years of life 1 had not shown myself a coward. I was certainly not afraid of danger, and yet the thourht of that gray, groping hand crawling spiderlike along the wail, and the sibilant hiss of that long-drawn breath in the darkness, did check the healthy current of my blood. My tod stood in the place once occu­ pied by the other, and as I lighted the candles fqr a second mote thorough in­ spection ot the place 1 could not fortoar a glance st the pillows I had so lately quitted. with a thought in my mind of the bleeding wraith of the unfortunate .Hannah HaytiM. AU across tto lace-frilled pillows on which I had uneasily solnght slumtor a f* w minutes ago lay a stain of crimson which had not been there tofvre. Great round drops. big •> those which tall m a •tisumer thunder »tow«-r, wore bespatter- । ed over the white linen, In some places having run together. 1 held my candle store the place, staring at It. almost ready to doubt the evidence of my own eyes, and die spots glistened wet In the. wavering light. There was no sleep .for me during what remained of that night I • was fully dressed before 0 o’clock and stepped Out into the sweet air of the morning. Mechanically I took the W which led to the water, and as I neared the shining expanse my eye was attract­ ed by the new boat house. It was. not completed as yet, and no boats were supposed to to kept there. But some one had used one yesterday, and it had toon left, fastened insecure­ ly. as though ctolleuging the honesty of the neighborhood. I took up the sculls and-pushed gently out from under the shelter of the roof. My eyes wandered over the meadow nnd suddenly they were arrested by a moving figure, dressed in white or palest gray. It was Consuelo Hope. There was no mistaking thn’t slight, supple form, taller than the generality of wom­ en. As my eyes dwelt upon her. I began at last to,, realize that she was going straight, with an air of assured deter­ mination,, towards the grave of Florence Haynes, tho white headstone guarding which I could just see from where I sat. What was there, I wondered,' about the grave of that dead woman which had more than once drawn her to it by some subtle and mysterious attraction? She had reached the place at Inst, nnd was kneeling down beside it, with her back turned to me in such a way that I could no longer see what she was doing. I lifted the sculls again, all the ineffable spell gone from the hour, and would have moved on had I not seen another figure approaching the same spot. It was a man, coming from the direc­ tion of the stile where I had yesterday left the road and walked across the meadow. -^At first Miss Hope bad evi­ dently been unconscious that she was about to be disturbed. But suddenly she rose up quickly, and, after standing with a certain curious rigidity in her attitude for a moment, began walking from '.he grave and toward the house again. The man. who was hurrying toward her. with an unmistakable intention to overtake her, whether by her will or no, was no other than Haynes-Haviland. • She fled on before him for a few yards, and then, as if tolling herself that escape was hojwless, she wheeled suddenly, nnd stood erect, awaiting his coming. In a moment or two more he had joined her. and my heart quickened its beatings ms I watched them. He took off his bat. Then he held out . his hand as though to take hers, and I saw her. with a gesture of repulsion, put both hers behind her. For some minutes they stood talking quietly together, ami at last, just as 1 was beginning to think that my interfer­ ence would not be necessary, her* right bund and arm went out with a quick, direct movement, as though to push him away from a threatened closer contact. Her hand was pressed against his breast, holding him at arm's length, the other still behind her. But 1 waited to sec no more. Without even stopping to moor the boat, 1 made one leap for the shore, sprang up the low bank and ran toward them. She was struggling with him now, and I thought be was trying to snatch the hand which she held behind her back; but, though she was in deadly earnest in her wish to free herself, not a cry did she utter. She was uot the sort of woman to scream in emergencies. Both figures were turned to me in pro­ file. and 1 was within a few yards of them before I was either seen or my foot­ falls heard on the soft, dew-wet grass. As he started and loosed Miss Hope at right of me. my band was on HaynesHaviland's shoulder, falling there with something of the vicious, eager .grasp with which I have seen a cat pounce up­ on a mouse. I felt my own physical power as 1 pinned him tightly, conscious of yielding flesh and muscles under my fingers. I towered over him by more than half n foot, and he appeared a pitiful, alight thing to grapple with. ■ “Thank you. Mr. Darkmore!” she cried. “You have saved me from a most un­ warrantable annoyance. This gentleman, whose very n a rile I had never heard until lost night, has behaved with the most unpardonable rudeness. I really think the only charitable explanation of his conduct is that to is not In his right mind." "Good heavens, Mr. Darkmore!" to ex­ claimed; “are you the strung man of the county? I've made a .mistake, and I must apologize. But I wish you'd been just one moment later in coming up!” “You must apologize to this lady, not to me.” I said, with a species of subdued savagery: ‘.*and you shall apologize—here and now!” “To tor?” he echoed. •"To her? No— not yet—not till I am sure." And ids eyes shot bine lightning at her. "No man shall make me do that!” Tto insult in his words nnd in his look maddened me. “Here Is h man who means to' make you do »o,” 1 said. Hardly had .the words left my lips when I saw in his face that he was a coward. He was afraid of me—afraid of my superior strength. "No further discussion is necessary.” he broke out suddenly. “I was wrong. 1 will apologize to this lady for any dis­ comfort or incovrentesea I may have ocgkaioned tor. My excuse, if I have any. lies la the fact---- But, no! Why dwell. hu that? I don’t wish to to on unfriend­ ly terms with any ot Sir Wilfrid Amory's people. I therefore tog that Miss Hope. ylM ^forgive-—*!) that there la to for- ••And for Mr. DarkmoreY* 'kiiM face looked like an angvNu «-ton bo atniled. If »tas Hope is satisfied.” . -Thank you.” , He towed in a graceful, foreign war. with a sweep of the band which held hia soft hat, and walked away. After all. to had contrived a more or less effective gilt. I watched him for a few moments as he went off across the Add. Then I turned to Miss Hope, and with a shock I realised that her-proud bearing had been a sham. She leaned against a tree, with closed eyes, tor cheeks and lipa milk white. ••Consuelo!*. I exclaimed, with passion­ ate solicitude. ■ This time she did riot repel me. Her lashes quivered, ruse, and fell again. . "Are you going to question me?” she said. “It will be torture if you do; for 1 am at my weakest. Just what you have saved me from you do not know—nor do I. perhaps. In full. I was not rekdy for him, or the crisis he may bring with him. though J hope triumphantly to‘be ready, more than ready, by-and-by. Yon came in a moment of need. And now I aiu at your mercy. Question me if you will, and I will answer you, though I repent it in bitterness throughout the remainder of my life.* 1 gazed at her in silence. Then I said, slowly: "I ask you no questions. I desire r.o explanations. Don’t you kuow that I love you?*' “You—love me?” "Yes, with all that I am—all that is tost and worst in me, nil that is maddest and sanest—with my heart and mipd and soul. -J would live for you if you would let me. To die for you would be enough reason for. having lived at all.” I would have raised her hands to my lips, but her gaze followed them ip my grasp, fulling upon the sheath of pearls, and with a strange, eerie cry she wrench­ ed them from me. "Love is-not for me—the love of n woman for a man! I am vowed .to a cause. What will be the end heaven only knows! But, meanwhile, do not think of me ns of n woman at all: feel toward me ns though, instead of flesh nnd blood. I whs as the ‘stuff that dreams arc made of.' nn idea—n means toward a great end—nothing more; or nothing more to .you!” She took a rapid step away from me, then turned and came back. "I thank you for your trust and loyal­ ty," she said brokenly. "I need the cour­ age which both give. But tell me that from this hour everything shall to be­ tween us as though these words of yours had not been spoken. That yon will for­ get—;-” "Possibly, when I die, but I think not even then," 1 answered. "Ah! you •think'—men think! Say, nt least, that you will not speak of it to me again!" "I will not speak if you can tell me now that there is not, and never can to, any love In your heart for me." “I dare not have a heart. Now you are answered. I have no heart—for you or for any man."

Treating ot the rapge of prices for cattle during these twelve years it is interest­ ing at the present time to recall that ‘he lowest price for choice to extra steers was touched in April, 1896, at from >3.85 to >4.25 per lOO-poauds, while the hij^idst for the same grade was reached in October, 1889. at, from >G.5O to >7. Tto lowest nnd highest prices for good to choice steers quoted respectively are >3 to >3.00 In January. 189j. and >5.05 to >0.40 in Octobyr, 1899. The lowest quo-, tation-for fresh beef, native rides, was 5 to 7 cents per pound in March. 1891. and the highest was 11 cent*. In Decem­ ber of the same year. The average price of cattle and' abcep per hundred pounds in Chicago, accord­ ing to quotations from the Daily Trade Bulletin during the year* covered in this report.

Drought conditions in the Ohio valley have been effectually re­ lieved, except in southern lllinoh, and while partially broken over the greater iuirt of the middle and south Atlantic States, more rain was needed at the close of the week in .those districts. Rain U much needed in Tennessee, over the northern portions of Mississippi and Alabama, and in central and auuthern Florida. Excesuively heavy rains re­ tarded work and Canted some damage by washing and overflows in the lake re­ gion and In the States of the Ohio and lower. Missouri valleys. On the Pacific coast the first part of the week was too cold In Washington and Oregon, but more favorable conditions ■prevailed during tbe latter part; in Colifotnia, with the exception of drying winds, the week, though cooler than usual, was generally favorable. Heavy frosts occurred on the 19th and 20th in the middle and southern Rocky Mountain districts, causing considerable damage. Heavy rains have interrupted corn planting over extensive areas in the Mis­ souri. upper Mississippi and Ohio val-' leys and lake region, in portions of which districts much replanting .will be neces­ sary as n result of overflows and washed lands. The early planted has made good growth throughout the centra! valleys, but Is suffering for cultivation in the lower Missouri-valley.

Mr. Patterson, one ft the minority member* of the Philippine committee, oc­ cupied the floor of the Senate most, ot the day Monday in a ulscasaion of tbePhilippine quwrion. The conference re­ port on the fortifications appropri*ti-» bill was agreed to without debate, ands sixty-two private pension bills Were pass~ cd. In the House the day was chiefly dtroted to business connected with the Dis­ trict of Columbia, especially the bilk amending the District cod®- Sixty pri­ vate pension bill* were passed, and thaconfcrenee reports on the agricultural ap­ propriation bill and urgent deficiency bill* were agreed to. . In the Senate on Tuesday a fruitless* effort was made- to secure an agreement on s time for a vote on the PhiUppinebill. For several hours Mr. J*attcrso& discussed the Philippine question. He at­ tacked the pending bill, particularly R» provisions regarding the holding ot lands. Early in tho session a committee was ap­ pointed by the Senate to confer with a like committee of the House about thedisagreement which has arisen betw<?«x. the two house* as to the army appropria­ tion bill. A resolution, offered by Mr. Hoar, requesting the President to in­ form the Senate whether there be any law which Would prevent any Filipino not under arrest from coming to the United States nnd stating his views or desires as to bis country to the President or to either branch of Congress, was adopted. The House passed the Shattue immigra­ tion bill and the bill to amend the Dis­ trict of Columbia code. . A-aperinl rule was presented to make the bill for coin­ ing subsidiary silver a continuing order until disposed of. In the Senate On Wednesday the Phil­ ippine question again monopol|xe<! most of the session. The conference report on the omnibus public building- bill was agreed to. A joint resolution was passed providing for the printing of 20.000 copies' of the proceedings of the unveiling of the statue of the Count de Rocbambean. In the House the day wax spent debating tiie bill to increase the subsidiary coin­ age by coining the silver bullion in thetreasury and to recoin standard silver dollars as the public necessities may re- quire. The limit. of subsidiary coinage is nuw $100,000,000. The bill Increase* this to an indefinite amount, in the dis­ cretion of lhe Secretary of the TrenAUiy. The measure aroused the opposition of the Democrats, who claimed it wax .inly a step in the direction of the complete striking down of the silver dollar. The debate drifted into a general discussion of the silver question. Little interest was shown and Mr. Cochran twice made the point that no quorum wax present. Mr. Newland* (Nev.) finally offered an amendment to make subsidiary silver a legal tender. This was pending when theHouse adjourned. On ThursJay in the Senate the con­ ference report on the river and harbor bill wax agreed to and the rest of the day was devoted to the Philippine bilk The House passed- the subsidiary silver coinage bill, tho bill for the improvement and care of the Confederate mound ..in Oakwoods Cemetery, Chicago, and thebill to reduce the schedule of reserve­ banks to cities of 13,000 inhabitants; ac­ cepted the conference reports on the om­ nibus public building nnd fortification* appropriation bills, named Messrs.

One night was spent in a deserted house at Fouds St. Denis, from which Prof. Hill witness­ ed and studied, the vdeanic eruption of thn’ night. Early the next morning Prof. Hill bushed on to Mount Parna*se. where several people were killed in the eruption of May 8. He encountered no human beings. From Mount 1'arnasse the explorer proceeded to Mortie Rouge, ■where he succeeded In getting n number ■of important photograph*. He found that 41 close approach to Mount Pelee was inipossible, nnd ns bin actual position was •dangerous he started back in a southerly direction. Speaking personally of his expedition to Mount Pelee. Prof. Hill said: "My at­ tempt to examine the crater of Mount Pelee has been futile. I succeeded, how•ever, in getting vbry close to Monie «■ >uge. Monday night I witnessed, from a point near the ruins of St. Pierre, a frightful explosion from Mount Pelee and note-1 the accompanying phenomena. "While these eruptions continue no sane man should attempt to ascend to the crater ot the volcano. Following the salvos of detonations from the mountain gigantic mushroom-shaped column* of smoke and cinders ascended into the dear. starlU sky nnd then spread iu a vast, black sheet to the south and di­ rectly over my bead. w "Through this sheet, which extended n distance of ten mile* from the crater, vivid and awful lightning-like bolts flash­ ed with alarming frequency. They fol­ lowed distinct path* of ignition, out were different from lightning in that ’he bolts were horizontal aud not perpendic­ ular. . “This is indispnlar»Te*'wffdencc of the explosive oxidation of tbe gases after they left the crater. This is a most im­ portant observation nnd explains in part the awful catastrophe. This phenomenon is entirely pew in volcanic history. "I took many photographs, but do not hesitate to acknowledge that I was terri­ fied. But I was not the only person so frightened. Two newspaper correspon­ dents who were close to Monte Rouge some' hours before ‘ me became scared, ran three mile* down the mountain nnd hastened into Fort de France. "Tbe people on the north end of the island are terrified and are fleeing with their cattle and effects. I spent Tuesday night in a house nt Deux Choux with a crowd of 200 frightened refugi-ea. “Nearly all tha phenomena of these ▼olcaxiic outbreaks are new tq science. ;and many of them have not yet bt*a ex­ plained. The volcano is still intensely active and 1 cannot make any predic­ tions as to what it will do.*' DEAF TO WARNING. GREAT COST OF NEWS. SciciVjwt’a Prediction of Disaster III* Martinique Catastrophe Caused Haor- It is now claimed that tLe lives of all in St. Pierre might have been saved bad it not been for the action of. Gov. Mvuttct. He bad been given official warning of the coming cataclysm. That warning reached him several days before tbe dis­ aster of May 8. He chose to disregard it. and even went so far as to order that the warning should be kept from the pub­ lic. Prof. Landes of the Unijeratty of St. Pierre had been instructed by Gov. Mrtuttet to make an investigation of Mount Pelee. At the imminent risk of life Prof. Landes went to the crater of the vol­ cano. He found that the forces at work were such as to make an explosion cer­ tain. Hurrying back to St. Pierre he sent a ctflber dispatch to the Governor, in which he gave tbe warning that the volcano would not hold Itself in cheek much longer. He even ^went so far a* to predict the total destruction of the city of St. Pierre not later than May 8. Instead of acting on the advice of Prof. Landes Gov. Mouttet went to St. Pierre and tried to allay the fears of its inhab­ itants. He ordered Prof. Ln rides to say nothing about the conclusions he had ’reached. Got. Mouttet said that if St. Pierte was destroyed he would remain to share the fate of the inhabitants. Prof. Laiv The general public has no conception of what the Martinique disaster cost the newspapers. The average man pays lit­ tle attention to the “special cable” line nnd reads the stirring news without a des acquiesced. saying he, too. would re­ main. Both lost their lives on May 8, though Gov. Mouttet was trying to es­ cape when it was too late. . The cipher message of warning sent by. Prof. Lande* is still in existence, but it is held n secret by the government. The Great Northern flyer was Wrecked jnst east of Ojats. N. D.. while running at full speed. The only ponton hurt is Frank Hcffron, mail clerk, whose back was wrenched. OXLY CABLE HUUTE OPEK. thought as to the cost of it. When it is known that, cable messages from Fort de France cost $2.15 a word nnd urgent inesFflges $0.45 for every word, some concep­ tion can be had of the cost of covering this calamity' But that is not all. There were the tugs, the special men and the photographers. All this mounts into the thousands, but all the big papers feel that it wai worth it. and no expense was spared to get" this immense story. Cable news from Martinique has had to travel over 10.000 miles before reach­ ing New York. The cable lines between St. CroTt and Martinique. Dominica and Martinique, St, Lucio and Martinique, Guadeloupe nnd Martinique have been interrupted. The only route open from Martinique to the world was from Mar­ tinique to Paramaribo, from Paramaribo to Cayenne, from Cayenne to Para, from Para to Pernambuco, from Pernambuco to Cape Verde Islands. from.Cape Verde Islands to Madeira, from Madeira to Lisbon, then from Lisbon to Azores Isl­ ands. connecting with the* Commercial Company’s system to New Y'ork aud the United States of America, the route trav­ eled bwng about 10,600 miles.

The promise formally made has been carried out. In this mo­ ment, when we feel our right as an in­ dependent nation, it is impossible to sup­ press our.gratitude to tbe United States. To recognise this debt of('gratitude to the great nation i* an act'which exalts us and which makes ns worthy of tho consideration and respect of Die other nations of the world.” President Palma recommends the en­ couragement of the agricultural indus­ tries of the island, the raising of cattle, the establishment of agricultural stations to improve the culture of sugar cane and tobacco ami the intnxiuction of varied agricultural^ industries. "While the question of reciprocity is still pending," the me**ng<> goes on. "it |s.im|K»s*iblc to state n<».w what measures should ’be adopted to meet the pending crisis. This crisis is due to the ruinous price of sugar caused by excess produc­ tion of Int-t sugar in Eurofie. An Imme­ diate remedy would b<> the reduction of the American tariff on tugnr, to obtain which the executive will nt once devote his efforts nnd will negotiate a treaty in order to. obtain benefits for tbe Cuban sugar producer*." Presiilent. Palma declares It Is the pur­ pose of the government to devote hs at­ tention to education, and especially -to primary schools. He says the govern­ ment of intervention deserve* great ctedit for the educational system it establish­ ed. buf that there is a need for still more schools, as the future of the republic de­ pends upon education. It will is* the duty of the government to encourage the construction of railroad* in the- island ami to protect the espit.nl already invest«-d in- railroad enterprises. "It is yery satisfactory to us,” says the President, "that the republic ot Cuba has b<k*n officially recognized by the Unit­ ed States. Gi'eat Britain, Ij'rnnce, Mex­ ico. Guatemala. Nicaragua, San Domin­ go. Ecuador and Paraguay, and we hope that other countries will also recognize our republic. We muat cultivate cordial relations with all nations and. make treaties of amnesty and commerce fa­ vorable to Cuba. We must also take es­ pecial core that the relation* between Cuba and the United States be most friendly in order that there be no dilhculty in arranging the political ami commer­ cial question* which affect both countries. "It is also of extreme importance that there should-exist uninterrupted concord bextreen all the people of Cuba ami that they should resolve to preserve the Cuw ban nationality.” •_ WEALTHY MAN SHOT.

The verdict is as follows: "We, the jury, find from the evidence that the deceased, Minnie Rea­ sor. came to her death by l>cir/g thrown from the window by some persbn or per­ sons unknown to the jury.” At the. time of the girl’s death it was stated that she had simply been the victim of an ac­ cident. but the statements of several per­ sons who declared thpt they saw n man push her out of the window caused a further Investigation, and the verdict of the coroner's jury war returned after the examination of a number of witnesses.

Kansas has 3.895,000 acres of wheat according to t’ae report of the State agri­ cultural bu**au. Tfiis is a material re­ duction from the 5.951,000 acres original­ ly seeded. The wheat acreage abandon­ ed or plowed np has been put to corn'. Whatever encouragement might harebeen drawn from this, or from the contin­ ued strength in the. northwestern cash wheat situation, was more than offset by tbe favorable growing weather and good outlook for the new crop. The northwest has had a week that, taken all around, could scarcely have been better for all ag­ ricultural growth. It ia not in wheat alone that the promise is good, but in all grains, and on the dip* in prices of corn and oats futures, wheat has been quick to follow.

The illustration fairly shows how the mummified patches look when attacked with this disease. Not only la the fruit attacked by this disease, but the twigs are also affected, and the growth is much more formidable during a damp growing seasaa than a dry one. 1: seems unnecessary to sny that much of the trouble from this difficulty cMBd be avoided; - that is. tbs- disuse might be checked, if these’ mummified specimens were picked from the trees 1 before tbe buds.appear In the spring. As with most fungous disease* of fruit trees, this brown rot may be large­ ly overcome by spraying. It would occopy too much space to go into the de- tails of this disease here and tell how to combat it, hence the render. If a pdach-grower, wherever located.

Every farmer who has tried the plan knows that he frequently fails to get a satisfactory crop of some grain or vegetable, and does not always suc­ ceed In getting a stand of the crops sown for stock. This is often the cnse with crimson clover, and sometimes with the cow pea and with alfalfa. Several recent communications from correspondents who have adopted the suggestion offered Ig this column rega^ilng alfalfa state that they tried the plan, but did not get a satisfac­ tory stand, nnd hence would give It up. This is wrong, as the writer can testify, for ou several occasions lie has failed to get a satisfactory stand with­ out any apparent cause for the fail­ ure except in nne Instance, when the seed was poor.' On the .other hand, other sowings have brought good stands, and addi­ tional trials on the same land where previous failures had been made re­ sulted In success. If tests on small plots show that certain crops can be grown on the farm, one ought not to be discouraged nt a single failure, espe­ cially with such a crop as alfalfa, which promises so much to the Amer­ ican farmer. " ' Milkina in Australia. In Australia they have a novel way ,of milking in some of the large dairies, which precludes the access of dirt and filth to tbe milk pall ■while milking. It is a milking glove or tube. The valve -is over the teat and Is II connected w 11 h a : : ' •long narrow tube tpEiB -which leads to a WZJV covered pall. Tbe orifices In tbe lid of the pall are just 1 large enough to admit tbe tubes Into tbe pall and are not attached to them. The plan..seems to be the most feasible of any of the devices for the purpose of excluding foreign substances from the milk pall. It is very Important that all deleterious substances be kept from the milk pall In any way that can be em­ ployed consistent with economy. Feqce corners and waste places may be utilized for the purpose of planting shade trees for .windbreaks, or even fruit trees. Where these places have grown up with targe weeds or brush a simple plan for ridding them up is to feed animals tbeir fodder during the winter in these vicinities. In sloughs where ordinary crops will not thrive willow* may be planted, as these will furnish a large amount of wood after a few years. When land was |fortb $5 and $10 an aero- a little Waite around fence corners was of srudll sig­ nificance. but now that land has risen to $50 and $100 per acre one cannot afford to give up the use of four or five acres of land on every quarter sec­ tion. Obe Writer in Iowa Homestead, estimates- tfie amount of. waste land due to fences in a State like Iowa to be 222.000 acres. This, it Is claimed, might be made to’Iproduce profitable crops. Bloat ins Com. There Is always more or less com­ plaint regarding the bloating of cows during the first weeks after they havtf Ih*cd turned out to pasture. Doubtless a.part of the trouble Is*due to the an­ imal. long deprived of green food, over­ loading her stomach and a.t tbe same time drinking copiously of water. Oftenttjpes, however, the trouble is either due to improper feeding or else the animal has an. attack of Indiges­ tion. In -either case the remedy Is in an entire change of diet, avoiding any food that Is not of the best quality and confining the grain ration to sueb as are of easy digestion. Tbe quality of the water drunk by the animal should be looked into care­ fully and particularly If the water it from a stream In the pasturer- If there is the slightest doubt about the quality of tbe water, the source of supply should be changed.

JUNE 13, 1902 FRIDAY, la conncellon with the recent small­ pox cases in Maple Grove and the few diphtheria cases which Nashville baa had thia spring, The News man has been called to taak bv several parties in Nashville for making mention of them, on the ground that the knowl­ edge that such diseases were preva­ lent in tbe vicinity would “hurt busi­ ness.’’ We want to say in this con­ nection that we have about fifteen hundred good friends who are paying us a dollar a year for The News, with the understanding that they are to receive the news ofNash ville and vicinity, and so long as the paper is owner they are going u» get the news, and all of it that they are entitled to, just aa fully and completely as we can give it to them. We believe It does do one an injury to tell the truth, just the plain, simple, truth, about such things. We want our subscribert to feel that we will tell them the unpleas­ ant news just as fully and as truthful­ ly as *e will the pleasant kind, so that they may have confidence in the paper and in the village. And we do not believe that in the long run it will “hurt business.” If any man’s busi­ ness is so precarious that he will feel the loss of patronage from what few people will stay away from the village for a few days on account of an out­ break of some contagious disease, he had better sell tbe business and go out and help some farmer make hay.

Treaty ot Peace Is Signed and Mine Owners Have3..5OO Police Gnard iny Their Properties and Pre Nonunion Men — Conditions Cannot Long Continue. London Cheers. BURGHERS GIVE, UP. Lord Kilrbquer Makes 0 ficial Announce-' ajcnl of Their Suircoder. Exact Terms Believed to Have Been Cabled to War Office, but Are Not Given Out. to Public—Kius^Kdword lasueea Peace Proclamation—Britain Malte* Concession to the Vanquished Poe—Great Gain to Empire Throutfh War’s Kudins. Peace in South Africa was officially announced by the London war office Sat­ urday. The declaration followed the re­ ceipt of a cablegram from Lord Kitch­ ener. at Pretoria, the former capital ot the South African republic, which relat­ ed that terms of peace had been signed by all the representatives of tbe fighting Boers and by Lords Kitchener and Mil­ ner of Great Britain. Lord Alfred E. * Milner is the British high commissioner in South Africa and Lord kitchener is the commander-iuchief of the British army In < the field. The treaty which they have negotiated Is the result of the conferen<-e* that .have been held since April 7, when Acting President Scbalk-Burger and Secretary of State Heits, for the Transvaal, and President Steyu for the Orange Free State, began a systematic effort to ob­ tain a plebiscite of the Boers in arms with reference to a cessation of the con­ flict. Exact Terms Are Guarded. Whether Lord Kitchener cabled also the terms of the treaty as signed Is un­ known to the general public in London. It Is believed, however, that he enlight­ ened the war office to an extent far be­ yond the meager announcement of pence which tbe officials condescended to make known. This opinion is confirmed by the guarded declarations the officials permit .to be whispered about in Downing street. These are to the effect that Great Brit­ ain made, numerous concessions, which, although they destroyed the national in­ dividuality of the Boers, yet gave tbe burghers many rights for which they hare been fighting since they began to harrass the British_by tbeir prolonged .guerrilla warfare. Some of the Concessions. Following are some of the terms that are said to be contained in the document that has been signed: Boers are to be permitted to retain their rifles to protect them against the savages and wild beasts of tbe veldt up­ on ^wearing allegiance to Great Britain. They will also be allowed a limited amount of ammunition. Boers are promised autonomy within a brief period. Great Britain will rebuild the Boar farm bouses and restoak the Boer farms, allosylng the former owners to return to the peaceful pursuit of agriculture. Boer prisoners in St. Helena. Ceylon, the West Indies and other British prison* are to be repatriated within a stated Time- provided they take the oath of alle­ giance to the British empire. Groat Britain promises to make a land grant to those Boers who prefer to start anew in some other colony of the empire than South Africa; Boers who wish to migrate to another country outside the British domain will receive a grant, prob, ably in money, sufficiently large to enable them to begin life over again. Britain Riots*ln Joy. King Edward issued this proclamation ■of peace at 1 o’clock Monday morning: “The King has received the welcome news of the cessation of hostilities in ■ South Africa with tafiail<_jwttisfdction and his mgjesty trusts that peace tuay .speedily tie followed-by the restoration ■of prosperity in his new dominions., and that the feelings necessarily engendered by war will give place to earnest co-op­ eration on the part of his majesty’s South African subjects in promoting the wel­ fare of their oommon country.” Great joy was manifested throughout the United Kingdom because of the end­ ing of the war, wbich'has been waged incesaantiy at enormous cost in money nnd life since Oct. 11, 1899. Nowhere is the rejoicing greater than’ in tbe palace of King Edward himself. For several months it has been the leading desire of his heart and the main object of his daily duties to bring tbe war to an end in ad­ vance of bis coronation, which fakes place the 26th of the present month. Empire's Great Gain. The result of the war adds to the Brit­ ish domains 107,465 square miles of ter­ ritory, an area equivalent to all the New England States. New Tork nnd Penn­ sylvania. rich in gold and diamond mines and with other natural resources of enoranous value. Moreover, It adds an important link to the Cape-to-Cairo chain of possessions, the possibilities of which in the, future development of the continent of Africa ■cannot be estimated by the present gen•eration. Tbe newly acquired territory had be­ fore the war a population of 330.500. While this has been considerably reduc­ ed. it Is reasonable to expert tftat peace will tanore prosperity aud attract im­ migration.

Details of the Movements Leading Up to the Agreement. A parliamentary paper fives tbe corre­ spondence preceding the Boer-British peace agMment. Krom thia it appears that Gen. .Schalk-Berger (acting presi­ dent of the Traum as I). informed Lord Kitchener March 12 that he was prepar­ ed to make peace proposals. A month later the Boers’ delegates . submitted propositions. On April 13 the war secretary, Mr. Brodrick, refused to entertain any prop-. osition -based on the independence of the republics. Subsequently President Steyn of the Orange Free State and Gens. Schalk-Berger and Botba dedfired thatthe surrender of independence must be submitted to the buyghers in the field. Tbe British government expressed sur­ prise at this attitude, but announced its willingness to accept the Boers’ surren­ der on the same terms that Lord Kitch­ ener had prtgiously offered Gen. Botha, and to give facilities for a consultation of the .Boer commands. On May 17 Gen. Schalk-Berger nnd Mr. Steyn informed Lord Kitchener that TERMS OT THE BOER SURRENDER. the burghers assembled at Vereeniglug had, empowered u commission to nego­ Mr. Balfour on Monday announced tiate pence terms, subject to ratification the peace terms in the House of Com­ at Vereeuiging.

Disorder aud bloodshed followed ”fforts of the packers to move their meat wagons. A svriqs of riots occurred on the West and North aides. Serious trou­ ble was experienced on the South Side. Two score or more of trouble makers were arrested. A number of policemen were seriously injured. One peculiar feature of the general s:tnation is the fact chat the strikers kept in the background. The disorder and bloodshed followed the movements of tbeir sympathizers or alleged friends. Meat wagons under the ban of the ■Tvapurtera’ Association were blockaded in a systematic mauuer by street cars as well os by brother union teamsters «»t on strike. Chicago has been experiencing both a meat and an ice famine. The ramifica­ tions of the striking packers are exten­ sive, all labor bodies lending their full quota ot moral and financial assistance. At the stock yards, Saturday and Mon­ day, there wns an utter absence of busi­ ness. while not a pound of meat was be­ ing delivered by the packers, who gave the ultimatum of no recognition of union­ ism. The small number of “independent" butchers and packers at the yards were unable to furnish a sixteenth of the local demand for moats. The downtown hotels and large restaurants were not only short of meat, but also of iee, while the coal teamsters threatened, If patronage 'of the meat packers was continued, to cut off the supply of fuel. Ice dealers were no­ tified that any attempt on their part to supply’the hotels would result in a strike against them. The coal and ice supply-of the Fulton market, the large downtown distributer, was cut off and the market was forced GREAT LOSSES IN LIFE. LORD KITCHENER. it of time the conference would be con­ sidered ended and his majesty’s govern­ ment would not be l>ound in any way ty the present declarations. The Boers asked to be allowed until Saturday night tp ’give an answer, aud the result was seen in the termination of the war. The signing of the peace agreement on Saturday night last was carried out with the least possible ceremony. Lord Kitch­ ener and Lord Milner. and Gen. De Wet and others, representing the Orange Frqe State, and Gen. Schalk-Berger aud oth­ ers of the Transvaal government, quiet­ ly met in the dining room of the resi­ dence occupied by the burgher delegates, adjoining Lord Kitchener’s house in Pre­ toria. Tbe document lay on a table, ready. Amid profound silence the Boer leaders took a pen. in order of precedence, aud affixed their signatures, thus surrender­ lug the independence for which they had so gallantly struggled. The announcement- of peace in South Africa was hilariously celebrated in Lon­ don Monday night. There was a tremen­ dous noise in the streets, a pandemonium of horns and cheers aud the coarse Jfesu of costers.

Three hundred thousand men, women nnd children comprised tbe population of the South. African republic aud the Or­ ange Free State when the war began.

Thia,- how­ ever. may be in excess of the actual number of able-bodied men in the ranks. In order to crush this seemingly insig­ nificant force it has required 325,000 British soldiers, aided by the most mod­ ern arms and accouterments. The Brit­ ish losses have been far in excess of those of the Boers, tbe latest report of the foreign office in London showing total deaths of 22.201, of whom 1,003 were offi­ cers and 21,138 were privates ia the ranks.

Seven­ ty-five cars loaded with ice were in rail­ toad yards waiting to be unloaded. The packers refused to employ union labor to unload them and were unable to get non­ union men. Advertisements in many papers out of Chicago offer 55 a day to men to take the strikers' places. The wage demanded by the strikers Is from 52.50 to 58.50. Ship­ pers were notified that no cattle would be bought and the dearth of a supply sent prices up 25 per cent. The teamsters w?re informed that all members of the alleged trust were will­ ing to sign the schedule except Swift & Co., Nelson Morris & Co. and Armour A Co. Notice was sent from the teamsters’ national headquarters In Chicago to Oma­ ha. Kansas City, St. Joseph. St. Louis and other cities where the packing houses have branches, instructing the union em­ ployes to bold thenwrlvcs In readiness for l sympathetic strike. Two hundred butchers at Swift’s and 2,000 women and girls at Libby, McNeill & Libby's joined the •teamsters. One hun­ dred butchers at Nelson Morris* plant went out. Louis Swift and Nelson Morris, actingfor the packers, admit that half of rhe union scale is paid in most departments and say a great loss would be inflict’d upon them if they recognise organised la­ bor. If the strikers persist in their course, the packers assert, the public will be without must, the packing houses also holding two-thirds of the eggs and poultry on the market Drivers of delivery wagons in ail of the ten big State street department stores went os strike Tuesday morning.

That they have succeeded to some extent riure the strike of engineers, firemen nnd pump ruuavrs is certain, but whether they can continue is quite another mat­ ter.

The operators immediately rushed Into the places of these employes bosses and clerks, supplementing these, In so far as they could, by non-union men imported from the’ great cities. In rbia way they have been able Up to the present to keep the pumps in action and no great losses have resulted. Some collieries, which can be kept ■ clear be­ cause they drain into others, have own dust’d completely, the operators thus be­ ing enabled to husband their force* tbe more. Miners Are BopefuL The miners claim that this condition will not long continue. They say, first that many of the clerks,’ bosses aud green hands will play out and, next, they are sanguine that they can prevail upon the great majority of the men who remained at work to cease their labors. That many of the latter will In.’ Induced to quit work is probable. Few of them can bear the odium of bring called “scabs" and bring hooted at in public and when the ostracism extends to their wives and children it is to be expected that many of the men will join their com­ rades in making the strike more com­ plete. The operators now have 3,500 coal .and Iron police guanllng their properties and protecting the non-union men the com­ panies have imported to run the pumps. These men arc all armed with rifles. Meantime all the great collieries remain shut down and not a pound of coal is be­ ing mined in one of them. The miners remain hopeful and confident. Tbe o|>erators still remain obdurate rel­ ative to the miners’ iiemauds. They will make no concession: they will not hear of arbitration. They are determined ou fighting the issue to a finish. The min­ ers are asking for about 7 rents a ton increase in wages, and would forego their other demands if this were conceded. CORRUPTION IN TWO CITIES. Investigations in St. Louia mid Phila­ delphia 8h,ow Much Rotteucaa. Another chapter has been added to the story of civic corruption in St. Louis. The methods of the municipal combine and other city officials have been further exposed; and yet the Investigation is not finished. On Saturday four public men were Indicted by the grand jury. Mon­ day a new grand jury was impaneled to continue the probing into what the April grand jury declajred to be the worst instance of official corruption ever known in the history of any American city. The present batch of Indictments re­ veals conditions that are nothing shoft of astounding. Tbe report dosing the juiy1* work uccjrics a former Mayor of the city.-who previous to that bad been collector, of receiving interest on public funds for his hwn private account; it ac.-uses u retirevr registrar ot securing a rake-off on printing contracts; It declares that n mernlxT of the present house of delegates procured contracts with the city, using the names of other individ­ uals and Imaginary corporations, nnd then, as speaker of the house of delegates, approved the vouchers for supplies fur­ nished by himself under these assumed names. Under such revelations as these the grand jurors call tbeir discovery an “natonnding story" of corruption;" and they add: "The villainous venality among the sworn officers and public,servants of our city should awaken every good citizen to the urgent necessity., bf staniphig it out by giving more attention to public affairs."

It is alleged he tried to induce Harry Keller, his employer, to Join the gang. Keller is said to bare pretended to fall in with the scheme and thus learned all of the plans, which were perfectly mapped out. Among those whom it-was proposed <o kidnap ami told for ransom were the youngest >on of Sen­ ator W. A. Clark, Mk. Lulu F. Largey. a wealthy woman who makes her home In Butte and New York, and a number of leading merchants, hankers and min­ ing men. FIND8 LONG-LOST DAUGHTER.

A tornado struck twelve miles north of Lake Park. Minn., sweeping n strip of land two miles wide and three miles long. It destroyed nine farm houses and killed ten persons. This is the sixth week of tbe great coal strike in the anthracite district* of Pennsylvania, and a solution of the diffi­ culty, which is daily affecting n larger number of-peopie, apparently is as far off as'ever. Already the strike has root the zdine owners, miners, business men of the anthracite region and the public generally the vast sym of $24,UOO,OUO. The operators still remain unmoved and unbending. The strikers remain hopeful and determined. The public suffers, with the prospt-cts growing greater each day that their sufferings will become more in­ tense and more disastrous. The magnates have over half a billion dollars invested in their mines, and yet many of these mines are being flooded and ruined because, while willing to 'pay the wages of 4,003 ct>ul and iron police, to protect the non-union men they are assembling iu the coal regions, the op­ erators will not grant the increase asked by the miners. Hence the negotiations brought about by the National Civic Fed­ eration were broken off and the country Is forced to witness a struggle, the end of which may mean ruin to many indus­ tries and to millions- of people. The situation now may be briefly sum­ ’ med tip: Every mine oFany cbnseqUMW in the coal regions is tied up. Many of thfrm are being allowed to fill with water and men cannot be obtained to pump them. At others clerks, bosses and non­ union men are trying to run the pumps and over these a force.of 4.900 iron and coal police are keeping guard. The Penn­ sylvania law makes easy the formation of this private army. By it mine owners go to the big cities, hire bums, ex-conricts, discharged policemen, drunken sailors, the riffraff of the streets and the lodging houses, and bring them to their mines. The operator* put - budges on them, place weapons in their hands, and thus the "coal *and Iron police" are cre­ ated. The fight now seems to be a waiting one, victory to belong to the side which cun hold out the longest. On the faee of it, it would seem ns though under such cireiimatnuces the strikers would lose. But appearances sometime* de­ ceive. The striker* arc united, firm and determined. They can live on little. They have the sympathy of the business inter­ ests throughout the anthracite region. They will have the material aid, when asked for. if organized labor everywhere. Fully 48.000 of them have left the coal fields since the strike l>egan and have found work in other occupations, thus en­ abling tbe union leaders to better care for those who remain. On the other hand the cessation of work means a loss to tbe coal carrying and coal mining roads of $10,000,000 a month. This is a considerable Item even In an age like this, when men talk in millions. Perhaps the roads after an­ other month may edme to consider this. The miners seem determined to remain out until they win. For the union it is not now a there fight for 5 per cent; it is a fight for the future and a fight for their existence. Stubborn as are the operators, the miners are equally reso­ lute. With their own resources they feel confident that they can remain out four months. Meantime a new element has entered the situation—(he soft coal strike in the two Virginias, where nearly 20,000 men are idle because of the refusal of tbe bituminous operotors to grant an increase in wages. If this strike succeeds; if President Mitchell and the other leaders in the United Mine/Workers’ Union suecoed in cutting off4he supply of soft coal to the eastern markets, thereby forcing the shutting down of mill* and factories and railroads, they) feel confident that enough influence will be brought to bear upon the operators to compel thejn to make such concessions as will end toth strikes. Tbe two Virginias n*jn»* 4,000,­ 000 tons of coal monthly, and this, with tbe output of the soft coal regions of this State, supplies most of the eastern trade. By cutting this off, the industries of the East would be paralysed. But surh a pressure would be brought to bear upon the operators that a settlement could not long be deferred. All hopes for a settlement of the trou­ ble Jiave not, however, been abandoned; Under instructions from President Roose­ velt an investigation into the whole mat­ ter is being conducted by Carroll D. Wright, Unit* J States Commissioner of Labor. It should, howsvor, be stated that Mr. Wright is not dothed with the 1 jurisdiction of an arbitrator, nor can Mr. Roosevelt take any official action. The President, however, can informally seek reHef from the present situation and he is now employing every resource hi his power. • Meantime President Mitchell holds In abeyance the call for a national conven­ tion of all eoal miner*, in .which the ques­ tion of a national strike Is to come up. ROOT DEFENDS GEN. WOOD. Upholds His Action in Paying Money to F. B. Thurber in Cnba. Secretary Root has given out a semi­ official statement upholding the action of Gen. Wood In the payment of several thousand dollars to F. B. Thurber for the distribution of reciprocity literature while he was Governor of Cuba. Secretary Hoot explain* that Gm. Wood had complete authority to make the expenditure from the Cuban revenue*, and that in his judgment the expendi­ tures were perfectly proper. It was to the interest of Cuba to have the litera­ ture drculated. and Thtirin-r and' the Export Association had merely acted as distributing agents In the United States. It ha* nut been suggested that the money which Gen.

He ex­ plained that about $6,000,000 should be appropriated in the sundry civil bill en ac­ count of the omnibus act which was sign­ ed Fridsy. There was no objection, and tbe resolution was adopted. During the early part of the Senate session on Monday the naval appropria­ tion bill was considered. All of tbe com­ mittee amendments were agreed tn ex­ cept that relating to the construction of two additional battleship*, two cruisers and two gunboats, action on which was delayed.

The special order for tbe consideration of the Corliss Pacific cable bill was then adopted by a vote of 108 to 73. and for the remainder of the af­ ternoon the author of the measure ar­ gued in favor of Its passage. Mr. Dal­ zell (Pa.), who presented the rule, an­ nounced he was opposed to the govern­ ment building a cable to the Philippines. He said be favored the construction of nn American cable by American capital. The House bill amending the present law providing for the issuance of pass­ ports to persons who owe alleg'ance to the United States, whether they be citi­ zens of the United States or not. was passed by the Senate on Wednesday. It was explained by Mr.-Foraker that the bill simply was to provide for the issu­ ance of passport* to citizens of Porto Rico and the Philippines. The rest of the day was devoted to consideration of the canal bill and the subject of election of United States Senators by popular vote. Tbe House killed the Corliss Pacific bill by striking out tbe enacting clause. A Senate bill was passed to authorise tbe town of Lawton. Okla., to use >150.000 from the sale of town lots for municipal improvements; Anadarko. Okla., $60,000. and Hobart. Okla.. $50,000.

It is generally conceded that the pres­' ent postal money, order system is both inadequate and Inconvenient, and Con­ gress has been attempting to perfect a de­ sign for currency intended especially for transmission through the mails. . Partic­ ularly since the adoption of rural mall delivery has the need been felt of some plan for sending small sums of money by mail without necessitating a special jour­ ney to the postofflee on the part of th* sender. The committee on postoffice* amfjpoatroad* have had before them a measure providing a post check in denominations of 55 and down to the denominations of fractional currency. It was proposed to retire the five, two and one dollar bills now issued by the government and sub■titute the post check am! make the lattar snonpv for thulrt ter the regular norwr paper money those denominations. ■ The proposed post check tkas nothing more than an ordinary government note so printed as. to permit it* transforma­ tion quickly into a veritable chock. By .affixing a stamp and writing upon pro­ vided spaces tbe name and address of the payee this note would become a money order, payable only to the payee.

While commending the general scheme, the re­ port said the methods of detail seemed Impracticable.

A “bumpdr" grain crop for the four great State* of the Northwest which are traversed by the lines of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad is the prophecy of A. J. Earling, president of the company. Mr. Earling, together with •everal of the executive officials of the cotnpany, recently completed an inspec­ tion tour of the entire St Paul System. The trip was taken largely with a view of ascertaining the crop conditions, and the president and his party have return­ ed to Chicago enthusiastic over the pros­ pects. "Never before in my connection with the St. Pau! road.” said Mr. Earling, “have I seen the Northwest so big with promise of abundant grain crop*. I speak, of course, for those portions of the States of Minnesota. Wisconsin, Iowa and South Dakota which ore traversed by our lines, and I understand th Jit a similar condition prevails over the en­ tire Northwest. In South Dakota tee acreage is somewhat larger than in for­ mer years, while in the other States it is about the same. Unless something un­ foreseen happens between now and har­ vest time. L believe crop records will be broken In the territory which I have named.” Based upon the present crop conditions, the St. Paul officials are looking forward to a material increase in the earnings at the company, and are correspond!nglj well pleased. Everywhere over the sys­ tem. it was stated, the farmers are in good humor, and are talking of big crops and increased prosperity. TEN ICILLED IN A'TORNADO.

Irregular feeding usually means over­ feeding. The fowl, like other animals that are not fed at proper Intervals. Is liable to eat too much at one time, nnd suffer from Indigestion. But such suf­ fering means ceasing of egg produc­ tion for the fowl as surely as It does of milk production tn the cow. There Is but one way to prevent this, and that Is the feeding at regular hours, and If any cause, as an enforced absence from home, delays the feeding hour, g-ve less rather titan more to tbfe flock and see that the larger and more greedy ones do not obtain more than their proper share. Even missing one feed­ ing entirely is nor as bad ror them ns getting too much at one time, and if any time Is an excuse for a hearty' feeding it is just before they go to roost at night Then they can digest it before morning. Whether too much at that time ever gives them the night­ mare or not we cannot say. but we nev­ er saw or heard any indications of IL— American Cultivator. According to a telegram from Helena. Mont., the cattlemen of the Northwest are buying land rapidly and settling down with their herd*. They have be­ gun to realise that the public range will soon be a thing of the past, and that the man who would continue in the buslnem of raising cattle must have land of his own upon - which to graze them. This Is an encouraging feature of the live stock Industry, for It means more cnttle on the same num­ ber of acres and better cattle than have been produced by the ranges. At the same time It makes the cattleman Independent and no longer at the mercy ot the seasons. compelled to move hither and thither with hi* herds In order to find sustenance for them.

CHAPTER XVIII. That night Marland, the detective, who bad gone to London with the idea of following up some real or fancied clew, was telegraphed for. On reaching Lorn Abbey in the morning of the next day. we could see it was n blow to him to learn suddenly that in great probability the body of Miss Wynne had been found in the moat. The ^orouer's inquest was to be held immediately, nnd it was granted as a matter of courtesy to Sir Wilfrid. Amory that it should be held in his house. The important witnesses to be called were Uncle Wilfrid, Haynes-Haviland. Jerome, the Annesleys, the policeman who had superintended the dragging of the moat, Mbs Hope nnd myself. There was no use in disguising the fact from ourselves that, taking the already known evidence into consideration, sus­ picion would point towards the Woman in Gray. The coroner’s inquest was set for 12 o’clock on the second day after the dis­ covery of the body in the moat. The jury sat in the great library, nnd throughout the house there seemed t<> be a solemn hush when it was known that, one by one, the twelve men were view­ ing the thing which lay in grim state in the billiard room. It was Jerome’s evidence which I dreaded most, as I feared that JU* vindic­ tive feeling against Miss Hope might lead him to misrepresent words or actual occurrences. Never djd time pass so slowly: but at last he came out, aud Miss Hope was called in his place. Suddenly my meditations were broken in upon by a knock nt the door, which 1 opened, and found Miss Traill, flushed, excited, sparkling-eyed. “Here Is something for you," she said. "Read it—ft will explain itself. You may thank me another time." She was gone before I could reply, and I opened the paper and began reading. the writer herself. "Notes taken during the progress of the coroner's inquest at Lorn Abbey"— the screed began—"in the book-cupboard between the library and Sir Wilfrid's smoking room. A woman circumvents the coroner and his men. Miss Ndomi Traill, anxious to inform herself, and willing because of her gratitude to Mr. Terence Darkmore for certain favors (7) received, to satisfy his curiosity, estab­ lishes herself at the keyhole, having first concealed herself from observation in the said book-enpboard. When all is safe she lights a small night lamp, brought for the purpose, which will assist her to write. This she will do from time to time, dur­ ing the questioning of less important wit­ nesses, or pauses for whispered consulta­ tion among the jurymen. “Ten minutes later.

"He had often noticed the pearl glove on the left band of Miss Hope, and his curiosity had been excited by it. He had never seen Miss Hope when the glove was absent.

The country is unusually prosprroo* with many Industries taxed beyond capacity.' Money is plentiful and the people havemore of It per capita than ever beforeAny willing, man may find employment and wages—ou the whole—are higher than for years. With these conditions it would seem that this should be a time for contentment, yet it is not entirely so. Unreasonable as are some of the de­ mands of the workingmen, there ia some­ thing to be said for the general cause of labor. An .important consideration, anil one rarely given sufficient weight by em­ ployers. who lo->k askance at an increas­ ing wage scale, is the increased cost of living. Dun's index figure, which is a pretty reliable guide, shows that while the cost of living in 1897 was 75JS, it ia to-day 101.5. The southwestern wheat movement is getting under way. and while Kansas wifi have a yield considerably, under the average, the general outlook tor grain tonnage is good. The government has issued the first bulletin of the year bear­ ing upon the new spring wheat crop It is found, as was the general expectation, thnt there is a much smaller are* in ■wheat than last year, the government putting the decrease in Minnesota'and the Dakotas at 2.511.000 acres. Thi* does not menu thnt the northwestern railroads will necessarily have less grain to haul, and indeed with favorable weath­ er the outlook is for a heavier grain ton­ nage than ever. Practically all thia abandoned wheat land has pone into oth­ er grain, and even yet farmers are plant­ ing flax nnd barky In scattered places, where seeding conditions were the worst earlier in the season. From this time on the reports from the growing spring wheat wifi take precedence as the price­ influence. The Northwest bolds up well in the general volume of business.

The Spooner substitute, directing Pres­ ident Rooserdt to sricura the Panama route, was adopted by the Senate Thurs­ day afternoon. The vote was 42 yeas to 34 nays. Debate on the isthmian canal bill closed' at 2 o’dock and voting was begun at once on the Nicaraguan measure report­ ed by the committee and the®Spooner Panama .substitute. The first roll call came on Bacon’s amendment, which was adopted, 52 to 20. All the Panama ad­ vocates voted for the. amendment, indi­ curing that they pre in n majority. . With- defeal staring him in the face. Senator Morgan made another speech for his pct Nicaraguan bill. He had not. intended to speak again, but Senator Al­ lison. chairman of the Republican caucus, made a speech for Panama which, the venerable Alabaman thought demanded an answer. Senator Allison supported the Panama route because-hfc said he did not presume to ignore the testimony of eminent engineers who had deliberately made that choice. ’’The’insinualion that the Spooner sub­ stitute means no canal is utterly without foundation.” said Senator Allison, reply­ ing to the oft-repeated charge that the Panama advocates are opposed to the interoceanic waterway. “The people of the United States demand that this canal be buHt by the government, aud it will be, if not by Panama, then by the Nic­ araguan route." Senator Morgan imide a strong final plea for the Nicaragua route. Regarding the greater cost of the canal by that route he said there was an eminent engi­ neer who would build it for $146,000,000. and another had offered to build the canal free for the United States if given a lease of it for the first ten years after its completion. ‘ Matters Now Mixed. The bill as passed is known by the name of Senator Spooner, and it author­ izes the President to acquire the Pana­ ma rights and property if it shall be found that a good title can be furnished. If not the President is authorized to pro­ ceed to acquire the Nicaragua route. The passage by the Senate of the Spooner bill really leaves the building of cording to a Washington correspondent. The House of Representatives has passed a hill for a canal at Nicaragua and un­ til the two branches of Congress har­ monize in the matter of route nnd all other details there is no legislation. A conference committee will be appoint­ ed to attempt to effect‘an agreement, but it is not anticipated that this com­ mittee will be ready to report before next session of Congress, nnd then the tight over the routes will be renevyed in the House, to which tbe conference commit­ tee must report for approval. There is another' obstacle which must cause delay. If the Panama route is chosen a treaty must be negotiated with the Colombian government, and this treaty must be ratified by two-thirds of the United' States Senate. RIOTS RULE PATERSON.

The latter bill also carries a pro­ vision, to increase the pension of a sol­ dier under the dependent act of 1890 from (12 to $30 per month when -uch pensioner requires frequent or periodical attendance.

This was three month* after a statement had been filed with the insurance department, showing a surplus of assets over HaWlitie* of about $40,000. An investigation was started by the district attorney's of­ fice at the request of the insurance de­ partment.

Enough wa* dis­ covered, however, to find one Indictment ■gainst President Daniel Myer* for the alleged larceny of $27,000. Investigation showed, it is alleged, that the accused men increased the capital stock from $250,000 to $&X).000 in -«rder to jatisfy the Insurance department. They then borrowed on the stock and paid the money to th* company for their shares. When insolvency was threatened they paid off their personal Indebtedness to the Bsnk of Mansfield in the sum of $39,360 ou their joint note, for which the bank held as security 300 shares of the stock of the Manhattan Insurance Company.

Countercation Throughout England. The coronation of King Edward VI1. baa been indefinitely postponed. This atartiiag announcement was made in.Loudon Tuesday. The King was found to be suffering from acute perytiphilltis, a form of appendicitis,’and an operation was decided upon. This was success­ fully performed at 2 o’clock Tuesday af­ ternoon. In the course of the afternoon the btiT■’ietin from Buckingham palace announc­ ing that the operation had been success­ ful, that fiMarge abscess had been evacuat cd. and that the King’s condition was ■aatiafaciory. was issued and posted-at the various points where people congregated. The King treated the idea of the opera­ tion very lightly, his great concern being for the disappointment of the people. London 1* Paralysed. The first news of the renewed illness of the King cm me from the House of Com­ mons Tuesday, where various conrt offi­ cials gave *n Intimation that the ar­ rangements for Thursday would better be suspended forthwith, ns the coronation would be postponed indefinitely on ac­ count of the indisposition of his majesty. The sudden announcement of the post­ ponement ot the coronation, just on the eve of the ceremony, caused the utmost consternation everywhere. The news spread like wildfird The tens of thou­ sands of occupants of the streets sudden-ly stood still under the sudden shock and gazed at one another in silent dread of what might come next. On Saturday and Sunday society was discussing the reiwrts of the King’s ill­ ness and though the circumstantiality, de­ tail and sources from which they came precluded entire disbelief there was a disposition to doubt the stories, and when the positive categorical denial was offi­ cially Issued they were dismissed as be­ ing unfounded. t Ilemorrhoides, apoplexy and lumbago were a few of the King’s maladies dis­ cussed in the clubs and drawing rooms, and those discussing them recalled the stories how the King even quite recentyl reiterated his belief that he would never be crowned. . No Date for Coronation. His majesty. under ordinary conditions, was not looked upon as a good subject for an operation, and though the King passed successfully through the ordeal, it is believed that four or five week* must •lapse before he will be able to undergo the arduous labors ot the coronation cere­ monial. Then-fore’no date can yet be, indicated for carrying out the coronation. The news that something was wrong with the King spread like wildfire at first as n rumor on the Stock Exchange about noon. It then rau.Jikft_wild!ire through tbe city. Half an hour later confirmation came in the form of an official bulletin, which the King’s private secretary. Sir Francis Knollys. issued from Bucking­ ham Palace. The Lord Chamberlain per­ sonally took the message to tbe Lord Mayor, who had it posted on the Man­ sion House. Great crowds struggled about the bul­ letin and read the news with heads un­ covered. London was staggered by the ouddrcness of it all, puarticularly as an absolute denial that his majesty was se­ riously ill was issued on Saturdiay by Sir Francis Knollys. Hundreds of dinners, bails and enter­ tainments were indefinitely postponed, the invitations that had been t»sued be­ ing hurriedly withdrawn. There will be no public entertainments until the King is out of danger and no elaborate private affairs. The preparations for the fes­ tivities ended as suddenly as if death had intervened. London bad never been so gay. had never planned so many or so extensive entertninnftnts. Now all these are ended and a feeling of gloom and sadness 1* over the whole city. No date is now intimated for the coro­ nation, but it will 1* several weeks ere known that the King is not strong.

Buckingham Palace, King Edward's London residence, is in St. James' Park, in the western part of London. The cohmatiou pcaCvAsion was to have started from here. While the front of the building, the part whioh passing pedes­ trians see, gives no impression of beauty, the view from the park, taking in the lake, is more interesting. Buckingham Palace was settled upon Queen Charlotte in 1775, was remodeled by George IV., and was added to by Victoria. It was un­ popular with the late Queen, however, and was little nsed by her. King Edward made many alterations in its exterior before moving into it from Marlborough House, which then became the residence of the heir apparent. ber and decoration speculations are ex­ pected. It is also an extremely serious question for several big insurance com­ panies who hold heavy policies on the King's life. These policies are said to ag­ gregate $20,000,000., Then the London season, only just begun in earnest, was killed at once. The town will be deserted as soon as possible, and die tradesmen who hoped to recoup the losses of the two last bad seasons', are doomed to dis­ appointment. Finally, the individuals who were to be knighted or ennobled on coronation day have seen these distinc­ tions snatched from their hands. The loss to those who erected stands will run into millions. It Is estimated that seats were built to accommodate GOO/XM) people, to say nothing of the con­ version of shop* into temporary theaters of decoration*, which involved enormous outlay. Vast numbers of people have traveled from far and near to witness the fete* and the dlsatter U tbe most stupendous of the kind that ha* ever taken place.

Others on the above ticket were named without a cuptest. Congressman William Alden Smith was chairman of the convention and his speech was listened to with close and careful attention while he was discussing national' issues. Frequent indorsement was given by cheers, but the convention did not reach its greatest enthusiasm un­ til near the ciow uf his address.- whm the Congressman launched into an eloquent -defense ot the.Philippine policy of the Re­ publican party.

All the defeated candidates pledged themselves to work for the Republican ticket this foil except Justus 8. Stearns, the millionaire candidate for Governor from Ludington, who was defeated. Gov.

The Mecklenburg myth owes its origin to one of the earliest attempts at yellow journalism made by the American press. In other words, it was an audacious "fake,” but as fakes were Dot so com­ mon in early days as now. the Mecklen­ burg fake was taken seriously and uas become a part of the accepted history of the country, surviving the lapse of nearly a century and still retaining a tenacious hold upon public belief. Tbe story of the Mecklenburg “declar­ ation of independence" delusion is this: On April 30. 18W. the Raleigh (N. C.) Register published five resolutions and an accompanying statement purporting to have been written at the time, which said that the resolutions were adopted on May 20, 1775, by delegates from the different parts of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, at a'meeting in Charlotte, in that county.

So confident are ail now of-the King’s complete and early recovery that it has been informally settled that when the time arrives the royal patient will be'earefully removed io Cowes and placed on board tbe royal yacht. Sir Henry Thompson said the King's condition was hopeful for recovery. The only danger to.be feared, iu his opinion, was the possibility of cellular' or other tissues in the region of the wound becoming affected, but from what other medi­ cal men said, the steady improvement in hi* majrety’s condition was attributable to. the fact that b'thad been nbie to maiiw tain hl* strenflh. - If the King continued to hold his own in this respect his recov- His recent habits are in his favor,, for it is a fact, although not known to many outside of the royal household, that the King Is, and has been for a long time, most abstemious as to his diet. Indeed, thia is made neceasary by the fact that he is troubled .with diabetes and is under a diabetic regime. As this is a progres­ sive complaint, and regarded by inuiqr physicians as virtually incurable, is easy to understand that the King had strong personal rosMus for wishing to be crowned at this time. It ia also casy^o understand why Queen Alexandra, utow feeling most sanguine of her hustiftwd’s recovery, has suggested a quiet corOhntion in Westminster Abbey ns soon as he is convalescent, which would be in the latter part of August or September. (Jf course, the magnificent coronation, which was to have been the most splen­ did spectacle of the modern world, has vanished forever. No attempt will be made to have a great celebration, for King Edwanl will not be able for many months to endure any trying ordeal. The King’s sicknesa is what la known as peritj>phlitis.

King seemed to recover rapidly and on Satur­ day his condition was such that his phy­ sicians believed he would be able to go through the ceremony of coronation. The trouble, however, became aggravated and Tuesday his physicians decided upon the operation. The King was placed under the influence of chloroform and the op­ eration was successfully carried out. The abscess, which had formed, was removed. As for London, the people were daxed. They had just thrown off. as it were, their mourning garments for -the death of the Queen nnd, had plunged into the joyful anticipations of the coronation fes­ tivities when with stunning suddenness their joy was turned into sorrow and burning anxiety.

Not only were those who were to witness the splendors incidental ti> the coronation. ,but the great world beyond were moved to sympathy for the mon­ arch who bad borne himself so modestly since being entrusted with the imperial sceptre of power. A London correspondent says that those who have watched closely the King since his mother’s death have not failed to notice that tbe great responsibilities of the position were going hard against him. The bright eye, the ruddy glow of tbe cheek, the vigorous hand clasp, the quick­ ened step, the cordial greeting which dis­ tinguished him as the Prince of Wales began to lessen under the exactions of kingship. He did everything to conceal the inroads upon his health, but it was evident to those around him that unless there came a change his reign would be a short one. He worried greatly over the Boer war, as his mother had done, and its termination was too long delayed to save him from the gonsequences of his intense saxiety while it was in progressTben the anxieties of the coronation were added to make mind and body sick and render life miserable.

Value of Apple Pomace. Apple pomace is usually bold.In light esteem. Many, think It not worth the hauling. It Is sometimes used asut fertlllxer, occasionally as a feed for pig* or cows, but It frequently, goes to waste, behim) the cider mill. A minor experi­ ment made In 1889 at tbe Vermont Ex­ periment Station Indicated that Its feeding value was about equal to that ■bf good allage, inasmuch as tbe meth­ ods of that test were open to criticism, It seemed worth while to repeat the trial upon a more extended scale. .Ac­ cordingly several tons of pomace were wbtalneJ from a near-by cider mill aud -ensiled for preeervatiem. The results •ecured were as follows: 1. From one to three per cent less milk and butter ■was made when the ]»omaee was fed than when 6prn silage was eaten. 2. The cows gave somewhat better milk on pompce than on sllnge. The dif­ ference amounted to about 0.20 per •cent. 3. From three to tour per cent more product wns made on tbe unit of dry matter of the pomace ration than that of the silage ration. There seem­ ed to be no 111 effects arising from the feeding of fifteen pounds or less dally. It Is but fair to say. however, that the milk of these seven cows was merged with that of the entire herd. Had pomace been fed to the entire herd In these quantities. It might bare af­ fected the quality of the milk or the "butter. The present experiment does not afford data upon this |wlnL It is expected to make observations thereon during the coming year.—New England Farmer. Grindstone Water Drip.

The method of summer soli cultiva­ tion for conserving the moisture lu the soil brings rMttita that are profitabla.’ As a rule, such cultivation should be of the surface soil only, rarely more i-tban two Inches deep; but It should be remembered that this applies only to soils that have been yell worked and plowed to a good d«?pth before the seed was Sown. A shallow plowed soft, or a field that Is inclined to bake after heavy rains, needs more than the shal­ low soli cultivation, at least for a num-s her of times after each rain. This plan may destroy some of the roots of the plants growing near the surface, but this Is better than to permit the soil to remain hard for any considerable depth. Whenever the soil has been sufficiently loosened after it has become hard, then the shallow cultfyatlon should be put In practice again. On the other hand, as first stated, the deeper cultivation should not be done unless the condition of the soil requires it . The Chinch Bas. The Ohio Experiment Station reports that the chlncli bug Is especially foud of millet and similar grasses, und where wheat flelds'are Infested, it will be well to sow a narrow strip of millet "'between them and other crops. A strip of millet two or three yards wide may be sown by the side of the corn field next to infested wheat or oats, and when the bugs have taken possession of It the millet may" be plowed under with a Joluter plow awl the ground harrowed juid rolled, thus burying the hugs. Anp:lier method Is to plow a deep fiifrow across their tracks, •« they travpl from field to field; the bugs in this furrow will have difficulty In getting out, and may then be killed by sprinkling them with kerosene emul­ sion. This may also be used where the bugs have attacked tbe outer rows of corn, using a spray pump and throwing It with sufficient force to wash them off the corn. . . i Chair* Choice Peach.

Explorer and Ills Companions Massa­ cred by Natives in Far North. Rev' Dr. Farliea, a Church of England clergyman from York Factory, North­ west British Territory, brings authentic Information of the fate of Explorer Am dre and his companions. Two years ago 800 miles north of York, a party of Eski­ mos under the leadership of "Old Huskle." sa* the Andre balloon alight on a plain ot snow in that vicinity, which is about two miles north of Fort Churchill Three men emerged from the balloon and some of “HusWe's’’ people approached them out of curiosity. As they did so one of Andre’s companions fired off a gun. Thia is a signal to uncivilized natives for battle. It is regarded as u challenge, and almost instantly the natives fell upon the three explorers and massacred them. Ev­ erything pertaining to their outfit wan carried away to the homes of the natives on the north borders of the arctic region. "Old Huskie" himself gave this informa­ tion to Ralph Alstinc, agent for the Hud­ son Bay Company, and the story, after being investigated by Dr. Farlies, was told by him. He says there is little room for doubt, as frequent reports have since come of the.strange implements which the north natives have in their posses­ sion. the telescope being particularly de­ scribed.

To Prevent Soil Waahiug. Soil washing, to a greater or less ex­ tent. takes place on 75 per cent of roll­ ing farms, according to one writer. Where it occurs the very best surface •oil is washed into the valleys, leaving the bare and much less productive clay ou higher laud. As a certain portion of all farms must be kept under grass It Is advisable to allow steep inclines to .remain In blue grass or some form of meadow. Such places furnish a good location for trees. These will not only prevent washing, but will tend, to mod­ ify the climate by affording protection to stock and checking the heavy wiuds at all seasons of the year. In any cose these slopes furnish excellent sheep pasture so that tbe land may be made quite as profitable us any that is under the plow. Where It is necessary’to cul­ tivate hillsides it Is a good plnu to plow under coarse manure, as this will pre­ vent washing. In some Instances it may be necessary to throw brush Into the gullies aud stake It down.—Iowa Homestead. Feed Trough for Young Pig*. “One of the difficulties in feeding young pigs Is seeing that each has a fair share of the slop. At the ordinary trough the stronger pigs will drive the ■weaker ones off and they fall to get enough food to- keep up their growth.

The cows on many farms would be cousiderml flrst-claM producers if each cow’s product amounted to 200 pounds of butter per year, yet it Is claimed by some of the best dairymen that 200 pounds of butter per year from a cow does not pay.

Horse* that are greedy and Inclined to boil their food should be fed grain in a wide bottomed manger, and even Killing Peach Tree Borer*. For the last eight years I have set peach trees every year, and I never fail to make a thorough application of the tar. With an old paint brush I put it upon the trunk of the trees before set­ ting, spreading the tar from the roots up the trunk from eight to twelve Inchcs. I am careful to remove any Iwrers that may be tn the trees, ns they come from the nursery. I keep In mind this fact that the coal tar will not kill tbe lx>rer. deeply buried under tbe bark, but will prevent the moth from depos­ iting Its eggs at the base of the tree.

One who knows says that hot wntet at 140 degrees applied with a sprinkler will kill the worms Mid will not hurt the plants. But be careful not to apply it at a temperature much higher than 140 degrees. The condition of tbe wind and weather- at the time and the dis­ tance We water travels from the sprlnkier to the cabbage all murt be consid­ ered. It is possible to cook tbe cabbage with water at 150 degrees, and It is possible -to use water at 200 degrees without damage. Paris green and Lon­ don purple can be successfully and safely used In fighting cabbage worms. Thtk-best way to apply these Impalpa­ ble powders Is to put one part of Paris gren or one and a half parts of Ixindon purple to 100 parts of flour and dust it on. For this purpose a dust sprayer la convenient. For small gardens an in­ sect i>owder sprayer Is the thing. There • Is no danger from these poisons, as tho leaves dusted are not the ones eaten.

Pursuant to their decision of Snnday the officers of the Interior Freight Hand­ lers’ and Warehousemen’s Union, finding their demands for higher wages and hap­ pier hours ignored by the managers of the twenty-six roads centering' in Chi­ cago, declared a strike effective Monday morning uud at 9 a. m. every union mem­ ber quit work. The men demanded increased wages for different clauses of workers in the union and recognition of their organisation. The general manager of the railroads made « counter proposition embracing non-recognltiou of the union and a scale of wag^s lower than that proposed by the woAers. The reply of the wen to this was the or­ der to strike. The railroads decline to submit the differences to arbitration nnd refusj? to deal as a unit with the union. Each road insists upon dealing in its own way with its own men. The strikers say they are willing to waive recognition of the union and are willing that each road shall deal with Its own employes, but they insist that each road shall pay ■ its men the union scale of wages. As soon as a -road agrees to pny the union scale the strike will -be declared nff on that particular line. As soon as the strike was declared the railroad manager* began bringing in hun­ dreds of outside men, nil of whom are housed nnd fed in ears which are guard­ ed by special and city policemen. Strike Cnuac* Widespread Loroes. The sudden suspension of customary operations by the freight handlers occa­ sioned widespread trouble In and about the various railroad warehouses and de­ pots. By noon the shippinfl Interests of the city were practically paralysed, and the wholesale houses were bombarding the railroad agents with questions. Police were massed about the various freight honftvs. and the big doors of the long railroad sheds were dropped down, while the striking workingmen gathered on the corners or hurried , over to union head­ quarters to await development*. Hundreds of heavily loaded trucks from wholesale houses nil over the city were dragged up the inclines to the freight house doors, nnd there was a blockade before it came to be generally known that the war of the freight handlers for increased wages and union recognition had been inaugurated. The pickets and their sympathisers surrounded each new arrival in the long lines of wagons end urged the drivers not to deliver goods to non-union workers In the freight houses. They received assurance* from practically everyone they approached thnt their wishes wonld be respected, but their work was almost unnecessary, since there was not one of the houses In that tier of railroad shipping quarters thnt was making any effort to take in anything in the way of freight. One thousand men from the Illinois Central and the Michigan Central rail­ roads joined forces vfith the workers who filed out of the Wisconsin Central build­ ings. and they marched through the downtown streets. A halt was called on tho lake front and several speakers mounted to the platform of a wagon and harangued the big gathering, urging them to keep cool and do nothing to precipitate a clash with the police. ' UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS. [ ■ Increase in the Number of Those Who Are Heins; Deported. There has been an increase in the num­ ber of undesirable immigrants coming to this country within the last two-months. In consequence the number of deporta­ tions by the bureau of immigration at New York port has greatly increased. Last year 1,011 were deported in May and June. Since May 1 this year the number of deportations has been 1.742. The Immigration officials have observ­ ed that there are more aged jiersons among the immigrants than formerly. The increase has been especially notice­ able within the last two months. The average Italian, as he matures rapidly, becomes infirm earlier than most other races which are sending Immigrants to this country, and he is part his prime at the age of 45. Not only is Italy sending h larger number of Immigrants than any. other country, but she is sending a larger percentage of illiterate immigrants. More than half of those who are coming here are unable to read and write. Tbe immi­ gration from Italy is now being augment­ ed by many persons who hare passed the age of 45.

Near Joliet, 111., Thursday night four bold aud desperate highwaymen held up train No. 5, one ot the fastest on ths Rock Iriand road. The train was moving st the rate of forty miles an hour, when two masked men climbed over the ten­ der, and. leveling revolver* at the engi­ neer and fireman, ordered them to stop., ■The engineer at first supposed it was a Fourth of July joke. He was ordered to obey or lose his life, and he put on the airbrakes. The men then ordered him to dismount and made him walk to the ex­ press car as a decoy. He waa ordered te ask the messenger to open the door. When the messenger appeared the burg­ lars begad shooting nnd threatened to blow up. the car with dynamite unless he gave up the valuables in his posses­ sion. • Assistant Messenger Kane drew a pis­ tol aud was shot through the right groin. One of the highwaymen then ordered the engineer to put out the headlight and un­ couple,the engine. This last effort was unsuccessful. The messenger at the point of a pistol was made to carry a bag con­ taining jewelry over to n fence,. where it was leisurely examined. Oliver M. Olson, the news agent, and Charles C. Weutxler. a reporter for a Salt'Lake paper, went forward to see what theUrouble was. and both were »rdered td go back. By this time passen­ gers began piling out of coaches to learn the cause ot the shooting. / This fright­ ened the highwaymen, -who fled. It is believed the highwaymen gm on at Englewood and waited until the train reached Dupont, a lone.-ome spot twentythree miles out Chicago. GRAIN AND STOCK MOVEMENT. Lar ire Increase in the Receipt* of Hpring Wheat 1* Shown. The receipts of wheat at eight Interior marked to the end of May reached a total of 211.221.902 bushels. Last year’s recoinpLs for the corresponding period were 204.083.037 bushels. All this gain U to be credited tu spring wheat sections of the country. There has been a de­ crease of nearly 22.000,O0O bushels at the winter wheat markets compared with lust year. The largest gains were mdde at Duluth. Minneapolis and Milwaukee, all other markets, including Chicago, Toledo, St. Louis and Kansas City, falling short of the receipts of the previous year. .Weekly shipments of flour at Minneap­ olis averaged 299,(458 barrels for the first twenty-two weeks of this year, compar­ ed with 270.042 barrels in 1901 and 330.­ 377 barrels in 1900. The trunk line ship­ ments eastward from Chicago and Chi­ cago points show the usual high average in provision shipments in contrast with continued shrinkage in the volume of grain and flour traffie. Live stock receipts at five western markets in May amounted to 2.2*2.!s)5 head, and for five months ended with May to 12.5o2.50G (tend, compared with 13.213,920 head in 1901 and 12.665.087 head in 1900. The receipts of hogs at Chicago alone for these five months were 3.699.343 bend, and exceeded tbe entire receipts of any year at that market prior to 1S72. The growth of.receipts of sheep to the end of May of this year at Chicago is shown by the fact that the number ex­ ceeded any entire yefir’a-receipis prior to 1888. ______________________ FIFTEEN DEAD IN WRECK. Crowded Trolley Car* Collide Near CloveravillC' N, Y. Two trolley cars crowded with passen­ gers collided on an electric railway near Gloversville. N. Y.. Friday night aud fif­ teen persons were killed and twenty-uiM Injured. For a distance of four miles north of 'Gloversville the Mountain Lake Railway, an electric road, connects Gloversville with a popular place of resort and picnic ground. As it was the Fourth of July the place was crowded with pleasure seekers. The cars were filled with peo­ ple coming home from the grounds. The road makes a steep ascent from Gloversville to the resort, rising 1.000 feet to the five miles. Two cars erowded^'ith persons who were returning home from the resort started down the grade toward Gloversville only a short distance apart. In some manner the motorman of the second and reax car lost control of it, and it dashed ahead down the grade in spite of the brakes and rapidly approached the ear prereding it. The two came together with a crash so vfolent as to completely telescope the cars, killing and mangling the occupants. After the collision the cars tumbled over into the ditch at one side and one of the cart started to bum.

I did not even stop to see whether or t<> he *u looking back utter mt—Instinct told me that he would do so—bat haring proceeded at n good rattt of speed for live and'twenty yards. 1 suddenly turned off the rand and darted in among the (dues which, on one side, densely lined the Way. I forced myself to wait until he had fully twenty minute** start. He must hare been in the house for some time now. 1 told myself, nnd would hare entirely abandoned all idea of my return. In the excitement, of the moment it Was very probable the doors would not have been locketl. for In so isolated a plac«—ami a place of so evil a repute— there would not be much danger of more visitors for the Spider harm thnt night. At. all erents. 1 must tarfe my chance. Very carefully I picked my way,J in dread of the ddg. which might be abroad for the night, and which would certainly _ raise its dtfep-toned voice at any unac­ customed sound. But the noise of the wind and rain was iu my favor. A gale blew among the pines on the hill behind the house, and the rain rattled against the bricks as loudly as though each drop had been a hailstone. I stole nearer. The front <ff (he house was barred and shuttered as before. Not so much as a gleam of light came from clink or crev­ ice. Softly paddling over the wet gravel and through mud to tbe back of the house, found tbe path along which I hud boldly walked in the morning. I was successful iu reaching the window of the kitchen. The shutters.were only half closed, and though every other window was pitchy black, through this one filtered the dull yellow light of u single lamp. At first I could see no one. only the bare walls nnd a few sticks ot old furni­ ture already familiar to me. I knew that Jonas Hecckleberry’s pallet ou tbe floor was Wow my line of vision, unless 1 climbed up. and thia I dared not do, for fear, of the noise I might make. Un tho table was the doctor's bag. Evidently Mr. Nobody had received the expected welcome, I thought, and as the words formed themselves in my brain the door from the passage into the kitchen opened aud the doctor himself came in. He was accompanied by the old woman, and I could see the shadow of the dog moving along the opposite wall. Tbe doctor set down the candle on the table; he then walked over to that part tit tbe room where I knew the sick tnoi jay, and looked down regarding him. Presently be tlung himself into a chair, with a stretch and n great yawn, which sounded plainly iu my cars through tbe cracked panes of the window. “That’s over!" he exclaimed. “It's a nasty sight. If Jonas and you aren’t careful, there'll be some more digging to be done under the pines. But we'll get Jonas round again iu-fere long.” •"That's a lovey," crooned the hag. warming her leak fingers at the kitchen range. "Yes. 1 always was a lovey, wasn’t I? You couldn't get on very w«!i without me, anyhow. A clear case of luck 1 had the appointment with Jonas to-duy,” went on Mr. Nobody of Nowhere. "1 should like to know how he fared last .night, and what he got out of her. Con­ found him.for getting into this mess, and keeping me waiting!” "'Who’s,'her'?" curiously queried Gran­ nyI thought that -I could have answered the question, nnd my blood grew hot with wrath against the doctor. “Never mind 'her.* I say. old girl, list­ en to that rain outside. What dues this night remind you of?" "I don't know. The rain makes my head feel queerer nor ever. I can't call up nothing at all." "See if I canTbelp-you. Think buck —not many years ago. You'd just, moved into this house, and things weren't settied yet. None of ‘them' bad enme here. A dark night, aud thC sound of the gale in the pines. A carriage drives up to the door. Not from Market Peyton— oh. no! and what wouldn't the gossip­ mongers there have given to know wbat was in It? You ran out to the door tn meet it. The wheels and windows are splashed thick with mud. The driver gets down off his seat----- ” “Yea. yes; I remember!” shrilled the obi woman, frantic with the joy of recollec­ tion. "The driver—that was you." "Right you are. Nobody else could be trusted. Aud what does the driver fetch out of the carriage?- Can you tell me that?” “A woman. I thought she was dead at first. Her face was white as the snow that lies out there among the pines in winter. I took bold of her hand to see whether it was cold, and—ugh! 1 jumped as though I'd been beat with my own whip I used to think so much of in them dUyk. w'beB 1 wt what was on thnt hand." Involuntarily (at the words which told me of a surety that the conversation was veering toward Consuelo snd her secret —that which Paula bad called the "se­ cret of tbe pearls”) 1 drew back a step from the door. There was a faint creak­ ing of a board under my fojit. and thcd<>g responded to it with a bell-toned note. “What's that?" demanded Mr. Nobody of Nowhere, sharply, and his chair scrap­ ed as he rose hastily to his feet. "I didn’t bear anything, but Grim did." “Law. it’s nothing!" whined the old woman. "Grim’s always doing that, and givin’ me a start, if Jonas la away.” “I'll take a look out inns th. passage. DeverthelesB,'” said the doctor. And I I card Ms footstep moving acrom the uttcarpeted floor. “Don't trouble,” Granny returned. “If ■twas anything. ’twas upatairs," "Ah. if that’s all.*” ejaculated the man. With a sigh of comfortable' satisfaction, *1 daae say you’re right. 1 won’t bother, fficn. Now, for a bit of bread and riwwse." 1 had a reprieve, and my “cue” as well; so, without another Instant's hesitation, I set out upon my way upstairs. I felt my way along tbe landing, and nt the top of the short flight which wound above I took out my match box. e--I struck n wax ’vesta, and began a de­ liberate survey of my surroundings. Jonas' room, from which I find taken the bedding, was the first to the right, and a long, narrow passage, with four or live doors, on either aide, running from the. back to the front of the house, lay straight .before me. On tbe left the passage was divide! midway by another, the entrance to which gaped darkly, and I could see that there was a descent of a shallow, worn step or two. Un the opposite, side, ac­ cording to my calculations, there should have been a similar intersection; but in­ stead there was an additional door—a low, broad door, such us might be ex­ pected to give access tq an attic or store room, painted a dull blue, and secured with rusty bolts and bars, as though to stand a siege. "Beyond that barrier," I said to my­ self, thoughtfully, "lies the. heart ot the mystery of the Spider Farm. CHAPTER XXII. Skirting along, the bed. 1 easily reached the wall, aud so went shuttling on,’ until my fingers came in contact with a win­ dow frame. This room wns. Lconjectured, at the front of the house. I remem­ bered that all these windows had been shuttered, and that, unlike the majority ot houses, the shutters, of solid wood, were on the outside. It would be, I thought, almost too good to be true that the fastenings should prove to be such as I could tamper with from within. If it wore so. it would scarcely have been worth the doctor's while to bolt the blue door Upon me. knowing well enough thnt I was not the sort of man to mind risking a jump for dear life from a first or second.stury win­ dow. r I was not surprised, therefore, when my hands told me that iron bars hud been placed closely t ogether inside the window, which must have been shuttered before their insertion, and would thus be now impossible to open. Bars, for some reason, had been re­ quired. Had they been made visible from outside, questions might have been raised in the minds of chance visitors. Consequently, tbe heavy shutters had been drawn together to hide the prison­ like effect of the cage within. Knocking against an occasional chair, a dressing table with a tilted mirror, and a large frame set high upon tbe wall (which, apparently, surrounded a paint­ ing ou canvas). I ascertained during my peregrinations that there were two more windows, both shuttered nnd barred. aud a low door tkhich led into a cupboard. The door I opened, and the perfume uf cedar rtuhed out. I felt gropingly about the interior. half execting to find that a door led through into some other room, and thus, despite the bolt that I had hopefully shot. I should be open to Invasion from the en­ emy. But. so far as 1 could tell in the dark, there was 'nothing of the »ort. Across the back there were hooks, ana on two of these hung some garments, iong, and soft to the touch. I now knew my environment as well as 1 could before morning should send a few penetrating shafts of light through the chinks of the wooden shutters, and a certain hopelessness settled down up­ on me as I thought of the long, weary interval. A heavy stupor was upon me. I must sleep. I felt. Once more ascertaining that the bolt was fully shot. I found my Way to the bed and flung myself down. When I opened my eyes again a gray dusk had replaced the darkness. A few cracks in the shutters admitted enough light to show me my surrudndings. I rose from the bed aud began exam­ ining it. The huge urk evidently belong­ ed to some period of furniture manu­ facture with which 1 was unfamiliar. There was no valance shrouding legs and space underneath, but the bed itself was made in the form of a huge box. Head and footboard were extrusion* of a solid, carved block of black oak. Four tall posts supported a carved canopy of oak, and cheap, faded curtains of some dark green woolen stuff depended from them. The0<!oor of the cedar enpboard was ajar, as 1 had left it in the night, and a roll of something white, fallen from a hook to the flour, had been dragged tartly out into the room. Half mechan­ ically 1 started to walk across aud ex­ amine it. The white object which had fallen to the ground wns a species of dressing gown of cheap lawn, which looked as though it might have been purchased ready-made from some country shop. But it could never have been intended fur Mrs. Heckle berry or her "clever daugh­ ter. Naomi.” There seemed to .be a certain grace and distinction about the simply fashioned garment as it hung over my arm. My very fingers tingled as I asked my­ self If these folds had ever draped the form of Consuelo Hope. I knew that the Heckleberrys held some secret of hers. I suspected that the beautiful woman who had been brought under some dtrange circumstances, still a mystery to me. into this hateful household was Con­ suelo herself. And if so, I might easily believe that iu this room she had spent the period of her residence. I could bv? pray that * Mad been brief. Reverently now I replaced the White robe on the hook at the back of the cup­ board. Beside It was suspended a dark traveling eloak. with a deep, gathered hood. Gently I lifted one of ita folds. To my surprise, it was crusted with patches of long-dried mud of a rather peculiar color—deep yellow, - with a vein of red. Bo heavily was the back of the cloak coated with it that one might hare Easily Remedied. In the middle of the night Mrs. Car­ ter smelled gas. She had a habit of smelling and hearing things at hours when most people are peacefully asleep, says tin* 'Baltimore Sun. so when she shook her husband and tried to wake him to the present danger, he suspected thnt it was the same old story, and refused to come out of his dreams. Finally Mrs. Carter herself crept downstairs to investigate., Returning with great excitement, she shook Her husband vigorously. "What’s the mattery he tnurnnired, sleepily. "John, tliere’s a leak in tbe gaspipe in the kitchen. If it isn’t fixed we shall ail l>e asphyxiated." "Um-ni! ’Sphyxiated?" "Yes, burry!” "Leaking much now?’ "Not much, but it's dangerous.

WORK OF EDUCATORS. NATIONAL CONVENTION OF 1002 BREAKS ALL -RECORDS Great Teachers* Meet lag Draws Twen­ ty Thousand People to Minuet*Polia—• Many Interesting Addresses .Given by Noted Educators—Officers Elected. With nearly all of the must promim-nt educator* in United: States prrseaX tbe forty-first .annual convention of :W National Edu­ cational Associa­ tion was called to­ gether at Minneap­ olis. Gov. Van Sant delivered an ad­ dress of welE-oam. At the opening ses­ sion of the nsri-mul council the topic, one of the most im­ portant consider! <1 ■ by the gathering* was "Taxation ns it Relates to School Maintenance." Probably the most interesting ad­ dress delivered dnr-< Ing the convention proper was that by .President Harper of the Univeraity of Chicago. He'saxuniedt up the educational events of the year at home axid abroad. One of the most intent causes contrib­ uting to. national unity in the United States is the large number of national conventions of numerous fraternal, edu­ cational, charitable, religious nnd bust-, ness organizations. Among these conven­ tions the annual gathering of the Nation­ al Educational Association is remarkably for its businesslike character, its large attendance and the deep impnfcsion it ia sure to make on tbe educational thought and conduct of the whole country for the ensuing months nnd years. \ Not a Mere Picnic. National Educational Association cunventiuns are not mere picnics, mere cxcusq» for a general gdbd time under the guise Of serious business, as so many con­ ventions nre. They are conventions for. acrioiu purposes, attended by earnest i*t>pie with definite objects In view and a determination to make the most of tbe short time allotted to the convention. Men and women from all sections meer, exchange vit-Ws. get new points- of view, part with ’provincialism. Returning to their homes, they put tbe strong jwtyer of their influence on the side of unity as well as of progress in American education. The same new ideas are tried, simulta­ neously. In Texas and Maine. The Amer­ ican school and the American univeraity arc everywhere alike, though not with­ out some minor aud seasoning peculiari­ ties. The National Educational Association convention of 1902 has in all respects proven a record breaker. The size of the crowds has been unprecedented and the number and quality of the attractions of­ fered hnye never in the history of the as­ sociation been equaled. A score or wore <>t speakers have been heard at the gen­ eral sessions and the department meet­ ings who have attained « reputation which is national and in some instances even worldwide. Twenty tbuusand vis­ itors from all parts of the country spent the week in Minneai>olLs, either us dele­ gates to tlie convention or us mere visit­ ors, ayuiiing themselves of the low rail­ road rates to sec the great bread and but­ ter State. James Wilson. Secretary of Ag.icnlture, was introduced during Thursday's session, aiid spoke in part as follows: "The most useful and valuable educa­ tional work in all the world apitealing to the educator is that of the farmers of the country. Pioneer’ work along thia line is waiting. The organization, of fac­ ulties to do the work, apparatus, labora­ tories. text books, illustrative material from primary to post-graduate and be­ yond. where studies of specialties must be combined, where research must bebroadened, aud where specialists must l»e grouped to reach a desired end and meet the pressing demands of producer*— all these uro waiting. This is the great field of applied science, where the grow­ er seeks the help ot the scholar, of. the experinyintcr, and of the observer. Tbe millions of farmer* look to you for help in these directions." Dr. Jacob Gould Schurnmn, president uf Cornell Univeraity and fdtmer mem­ ber of the Philippine commission, made an interesting address on "Education in the Philippines." One of the most imporlnnt nnd signifi­ cant movements In connection with the convention was that signalized by the meeting of representative grade teacher* ot the cotffitry tu form a national organ­ ization.

As soon as the train rounded the curve just west of Morgan, Mr. Carr was sighted, the warning whistle was sounden, but Mr. Carr did not take need. The engine was reversed, the air-breaks applied, but all to no avail. Charles L. Carr was dead. Several residents of Morgan wit­ nessed the terrible accident. Among them was Postmaster H. H.

Mr. Sparks was sitting in front of the postofflee as the flyer came around the curve. ‘‘I saw Mr. Carr, coming down the track and the approaching train", said Mr. Sparks to a News representative.

Others seem to think that Mr. Carr was in deep thought at this time—so completelv lost in thought that, although hearing the whistle, was unconscious of hh situa­ tion and ..consequent danger.

The farm Is the beat market, in fact that a farmer can have, for if he keeps live stock he will be able to sell bls raw products by converting them Into the forms of meat, milk, butter and wool. The difficulty Is that the waete products on the farms are not properly utilised. One product that of corn fodder, has been wasted for years, though now it Is being put to use with the aid of the shred­ der. but It Is in the manipulation and handling of the manure and weeds that the lessening of expense occurs. ■ suits largely because the plants could not be sprayed at the proper time wlth•out danger to the pollen fertilization of the plant. ■ Go through the corn field •early and follow the plan suggested •during the season, getting neighboring corn growers to do the same thing, and It will be comparatively easy to stamp out the disease In a sectlun.—Indian spoils News. Typical Dairy Cow. An Agricultural Department bulletin •show* an illustration of a dairy cow. whbso general features. It Is claimed, are almost perfect. She has a medium Sized head and neck and a well defined shoulder and neck vein. The body or barrel Is medium to long, but with a great depth through the digestive re­ gion and with a long/well developed bind quarter and a nicely shaped ud­ der. She Is short legged, clime to the ground, angular and free from fleshi­ ness. Her body shows symmetry, quality, correlation of parts and there­ fore stamina and great digestive ca­ pacity. and she exhibits every Indlcatlqn of the power to give a large quan­ tity of milk. It Is rare that any person purchasing a cow having such apparent constitution and conformation, and yet being a rangy, open jointed animal, will be disappointed In her as a money maker.

Young stock do better on a mixed feeding In which bran plays a one-third part. I have known a great many extravagant feeders who are careless about watering stock.—Cor. Rural New Yorker. Irrigating the Garden. The usual method of watering plants of any kind Is by surface watering and In normal seasons this seems to answer the purpose, although it involves con­ siderable labor. In dry seasons or In any season where It Is possible to carry on the plan at moderate cost, a plan of irrigation which will carry the mois­ ture under the surface of the soil so that the plants may use It as desired will be found most advantageous. Such a plan can be carrk-d out by a system of tiles, as it Is done lu arid sections, but when small areas are to be watered a number of trenches will answer the purpose if the water can be pumped Into them at small expense Bust in Wheat. Cover Crop* in Orchard*. Instead of the usual corer crops In sechard* some farmers prefer to have 'the land cultivated In summer, thus killing weeds and permitting moisture .and air to enter the soil, the stirring of the soil protecting the roots of trees.

The national convention of the United Mine Workers assembled Thursday in Tomhiucta ftall, Indianapolis, with WX' delegates in attendance, moot of whoa held several proxies. . Toe first session was not of an execu­ tive character and there were many »i»rctatore present anxious to vltneu the proceeding* of what has t*en heralded as one of the most important gatherings of laboring men hrld in recent years. The first part of the session was devoted to addresses of welcome from muhindpal officers of Indianapolis and responses in behalf of the union. ‘ The hour for calling the convention w order was 10 o’clock. Ten minutes be­ fore that time President Mitchell camupon the platform and wall greeted with cheers. Secretary Wilson, following Mose after, shared the applause. President Mitchell called the convention to order promptly at 10 o'clock. Secretary Wil­ son then read the call for the convention and President MQchell called for the report of the committee on credentials. The-reading of this by Michael McTaggart of the committee consumed much time, as the report contained the name -»f every delegate with' a statement of’the number of proxies held by him.

O., was offered $1,000,000 spot cash for the Bookwaiter steel process. The offer came from President Schwob of the new Amer­ ican Steel Casting Company. Mr. Book­ maker declined to sell; By the Buokwalter process blasting for removing impuri­ ties from the iron is done at the side of the converter Instead of at the bottom. The result is that less power is required, while greater purity of steel is obtained. The process is covered by twenty or more patents.

It will be located at Philadel­ phia, adjacent to the Cramps shipyards, aud will be known as the Brylgon Steel Casting Company.

They kept on stealing horses to ride, pressing forward until the beasts were worn out. Finally the fugitives reached the Columbia river. Over ’ this they escaped by forcing G. Sutherland at the muzzles of their revolvers to ferry them across. They landed near Van­ couver barracks. On June 17 the men shot and wounded Deputy Sheriff Be:: Brescher in a fight at Salmon creek, stole more horses and rode away. They robbed a house near Lacetner and another near Kelso. Wash. July 1 Tracy was seen at Tennino, thirty miles from Tacoma. He was then riding alone. The next day he arrived at South Bay and bold up six men. Later he forced Capt. Clark and his crew of four men to convey him in a gasoline launch over Puget Sound to Meadow Point, north of Seattle. The captain says that Tracy had told him while on hi* boat thnt he hail killed Merrijl. On July 3 a pajty of pursuing officers under the leadvfship of Dfcputy Sheriff Charles Raymond of Snohomish County, and Deputy Sheriff John Williams of King County, located the desperado at Bothell, twenty'miles north of Seattle and on the line of the Northern Pacific Railroad. Tracy had taken a command­ ing i>osiiion in a clump of firs and had probably seen the posse before he himself had been observed. There was no parley­ ing on either side.. The posse, strong in numbers and perhaps somewhat encour­ aged by a reward, aggregating $5.6<MJ. for Tracy's capture, prepare*! to surround the outlaw's hiding place. Tracy, fighting tor freedom and life, was determined not to Im taken and with his trusty rifle open­ ed fire on his pursuers. He fired five shots In all and these were sufficient to initure, for the time, his escape. At one the discharges Raymond was shot and fell to the ground dead. Another bullet struck the rifle barrel of Williams, splin­ tering i’ and burying itself in the dep­ uty's chest. Williams fell to the ground badly wounded. Before the other mem­ bers of the posse could recover their wits the outlaw escaped. The evening of the same day saw Tracy at the home of a Mr*. Torn Ho-n in Woodlawn Park, a suburb of Seattle. The outlaw's presence was secretly made known by Mrs. Van Horn to a butcher’s boy, who spread the alarm. To surround the hoUM was a matter of only a brief ti:pe. and then the officers felt sure that their quarry could not escape them. Tracy opened fire on the officers, instantly kill­ ing Policeman E. E. Breese and fatally wounding Neil Rawley, another ot his would-be captors. He then coerced two men to act a<r«hic!ds and under their pro­ tection be made his way out of the range of fire and disappeared in the woods and the darkness. The tragedies thoroughly aroused the authorities and Gov. McBride ordered out two troops of the State mllftia to eo-oprrate with the civil power in running down the desperado. Score* of men were sworn In as deputies and a systematic search for Tracy began. The Secretary of the Treasnry has asked the Interior Department to trans­ fer the jurisdiction of Sh-dge Island, an island near Nome, Alaska, from the In­ terior to the Treasury Department for use as a quarantine station for smallpox patients. There is already a surgeon and marine hospital station on the island and owing to the prevalence of smallpox in Alaska it la deemed desirable that a reg­ ular quarantine stfttioa be instituted up­ on the Island.

The’ high point was 13c above the close ot the previous week; ■ and 32c higher than the low point on the decline lbs than a month ago. It was a clear case of *qn«-czing the shorts. The close was SBc. The trade paid little at­ tention to the gotvernment report on corn, although it is very bearish. The condi­ tion of 87.5 is fairly low for July, but there is an unprecedented acreage. 95,­ 000.000, which. ’ figured by States based on government conditions. Indicates a yield of X400.000.000 bushels, the larg­ est on record. The surplus States have a proMpect of 1,678,000.000 bushels, or dou­ ble last year's. With old reserves light, and likely to be exhausted tjy the time’ the new crop begins to move, there Is a feeling among trader* that corn is Dot likely to average much below 50c. Sentiment among wheat trader* as to ' the future course of values is mixed. Some of the sharpest and best operator* are Xricndly to the bull side. There are also a number of shrewd men who be­ lieve prices are high enough. The price last week was governed largely by the weather, end although averaging higher closed with a gain of only %c on July and a loss of %c to %c on distant months, September, which was -%c under Decem­ ber a week ago, advanced to %c premium, but closed %c discount. The cash situa­ tion is regarded as strong. Heavy storm* throughout the winter wheat country have delayed the movement and deterior­ ated the quality. There is prospect of a larger quantity of low grade wheat on the present crop than has been known fur years. The world’s stocks of wheat are the lowest on record with the excep­ tion of the Ix-iter year. 1897-08. The de­ crease last month, taking the Daily Trade Bulletin’s estimate, was 27,346,000 bush­ els, and the world's supply. 106.K27.O00 bushels, while In. the Leiter deal it was down to 103,000,000 bushels. During the week top cattle sold at $8.70. being 20c atiove the previous week nnd the hlgbeet July price on record. Hogs sold 2214c higher than the previous week, the highest since March, 1893. and the highest July In twenty years, 'three loads sold at $8.25. Sheep and lambe sold poorly during the week. Cattle re­ ceipts were comparatively small, with hogs and sheep liberal compared with the previous week and a year ago. Re­ ceipts ot sheep for the week were ths largest since January.

Caboose Bordell Sprague, a former resident . ... and> vbrother .. . of C. n of. •• Nashville P. Sprague, was killed in' Battle Creek, a short distance east of the “east switch" of the Grand Trunk Western yards at Nichols, Monday morning at 12.10 o’clock. He was riding on weal bound freight No. 2’d 93, and fell be­ tween the cars. The body was removed In the police ambulance to Cladwell's morgue. Conductor West of the freight train that killed the deceased gives a prob­ ably correct account in the Battle Creek Journal as follows: "When we . were entering the approach to the yards I stepped out of my caboose and climbed to the top of the car pre­ paratory to going to the forward part of the train. Then I saw a man sil­ ting on the back platform of the ca­ boose. He, after seeing me, started to climb up a ladder of the car next to the caboose and I paid no attention to him. I had reached the second car from the caboose when I thought I heard a sound of some person shout­ ing. Remembering the man 1 had seen, I felt that he had fallen under the car and I had the engineer stop the train. Going back with Brakemen Chrlsler and Carnahan we looked for the man sad found his body on the rail. He was dead. We lifted the body off the track, and then hurried to the car checker’s office and notified the police by telephone of what had happened." William Waltz, Sprague's foreman, spoke of tiie fatality as follows: "Spragut told me Saturday that he intended to take the 3.45 Grand Trunk Western passenger train that after­ noon for Nashville. He had some money with him when he left and I am sure that if he was beating his way on the freight train, it was not because he was compelled to. He was a good, failhtul man and had been with the Advance company since last February. That he was riding on a freight was probably due to his missing a passen­ ger train. He never rode before with­ out payingThe deceased was in Nashville Sun­ day and took his mother on the ex­ cursion to Detroit- It was probably due to his anxiety to get back to work Monday morning that he took the freight at Charlotte instead of waiting for a passenger tdain. Al the morgue the body was examined. The right arm was crushed almost com­ pletely off just below the shoulder, the neck was broken and the left arm warbroken in several places. The left arm was connected with the body only by a small piece of flesh. Aside from a few bruises on the face there were no other injuries. In the clothing of the deceased a silver watch, ?25 in bills, 81.29 in change, a notebook, and an aluminum card case with cards within were found. Engraved on the exterior of the case was the name, "Bordell Sprague." The cards also bore the same name. The watch was held to his vest by a chain with a Maccabee charm attached. Although the card case and its con­ tents caused the authorities to con­ clude the deceased was Bordell Sprague, bis Identification was made complete by an old acquaintance— Frank Parker of Battle Creek. He viewed the remains and immediately pronounced them to be those of "Bordy” Sprague. Mr. Parker formerly resided in Nashville and was very well acquainted with deceased. Upon the evidence of Mr. Parker, Deputy Sheriff Brooks' was notified by Chief of Police Farrington of Battle Creek, who informed toe rela­ tive* of the sad accident. C. P. Sprague, brother of the deceased, at once left for Battle Creek, arriving at 12.15 p. m. When shown the body he broke down, a* he easily identified the remains as those of his brother. The deceased ha* two children liv­ ing, one of whom resides with Sprague * mother and the other with his divorced wife. He had many friends In Nashville and was respected by all a* an honest, industrious young man. Phe remains were brought to Nashville on the early train Tuesday morning and the funeral was held at the Baptist church in the afternoon. Victim of Apoplexy. Henry W.

Certain modifications which the State Department desires in the protocol gov­ erning the construction of the proposed Panama Canal before it assumes the shape of a treaty have been transmitted, by Secretary Hay to Mr; Concha, the Colombian minister nt Washington. These relate generally to questions of control and of sovereignty over the strip of land through which the canal, if tbe Panama route be finally determined upon, will be constructed. They are designed to bring the protocol more in harmony with the provisions qf the Spooner amend­ ment! and to facilitate ratification by the Senate when the instrument reaches that body in the form of a treaty. The Colomblan legation.officials do not feel that the instructions they now have are broad enough to authorize them to accept , tbe modifications proposed by Secretary Hay without further consultation with the home government. Consequently the mat­ ter has been submitted by them to their government for further instructions. The aim of-Ministcr Concha is to have the in­ strument in such shape that when it comes before the two bouses of Congress of Colombia for action it will receive fa­ vorable consignation.

After killing one herd num­ bering some 2,000 sheep twenty-five other herds, amounting to about 65,000 sheep, were driven into the mountains and left to shift for themselves. Sheep men have been threatened with instant death if they go after their flqcks.

As tbe traih slowed down two other robbers sprang into the ex­ press car and with drawn weapons com­ pelled the messenger to open the safe. They took all the funds and vanished into the night. Rurales were immediate­ ly dispatched in pursuit and they took up tbe trail at the depot where the train was stopped, following it into the moun­ tains. B. A O. BOILER BURSTS.

Th? cap­ italization of this railroad is nominal. The men who are back of the enterprise have really hundreds of millions at their disposal and tbe future of tbe belt line is full of promise.

Mortality Rate for 1901 Was Only 13.88 Per 1,000 Inhabitant*. According to the official report* of the Marine Hospital for last year, just compiled. Chicago was the healthiest of all the large cities of the United States In 1901. The figures show a mortality of 10.88 per 1,000. which is lees than the report shows for (he previous year. Other cities appear in the following order: St teu|s. 17.67; Philadelphia. 18317; Cin­ cinnati, 18.88; San Francisco, 104: Bos­ ton. 10.70; New York, 20; Baltimore, 20.23; Washington,' 21.14. and Ne^r Or­ leans, 21.44.

The meeting between the two took place sev­ eral months ago, and the grip received by his friend was so hard that several of the small bones were broken and after­ ward caused a cancerous growth. He was in a Chicago hospital for several weeks taking treatment and was advised by the surgeons to have the member am­ putated. The operation took place re­ cently. Miss Minnie E.

Growth in the business of all divisions of the Chicago postoffice is shown in a number of reports for the fiscal year end­ ed June 80. In the registry division espe­ cially a large gain is reported. The num­ ber of registered articles handled during the year was 5,917,510, as against 5.276,­ 901 in the preceding year. The gain was 12.13 per cent. In the last quarter the number of piece* handled in this division was 1.473,132, compared with J.342.597. In June alone 464,563 pieces were han­ dled. The division of second-class mat­ ter also did a large business. The re­ ceipts from such postal matter were $580,876 for the fiscal year, as against $578,876 in the preceding year.

The alleged failure of a train crew to obey orders resulted in a collision be­ tween two passenger trains on the Le­ high Valley Railroad. One person was killed and nineteen seriously injured. The disaster occurred near Rochester. Both trains were running at a high rate of speed when they came together. An en­ gine and one passenger coach in one of the trains was thrown from the track down an embankment and into the Erie Canal feeder and was c mpletely wreck­ ed; the other engine was demolished, but remained on the roadbed. Mississippi Over Danger Point and Rising Fast—Many People Killed by Lightning—Crops Throughout Illinot* Are Badly Beaten Down—Wis­ consin, Indiana, Nebraska and Col­ orado in Path of Tempest. Severe storm*, deadly with lightning boks and ruinous with torrential rains, have wrought millions of dollars of dam­ age through the Western States. Five person* art? known to have been killed by lightning in Illinois and Iowa alone, while many of the outlying districts LTe entirely cut off from communication and the results of the storm in them canuot be fully told. ' Heavy storms, with extraordinary dam­ age by cloudburst*, wind and lightning, were reported Friday from western and southern Illinois, central Iowa. Nebras­ ka and Colorado. In the rivers the wat­ er has risen rapidly, and much further damage may be done by flood*. Washonts, the demolition of buildings and the destruction of crops are among the forms of havoc wrought by the storms. At all point* from which report* have been re­ ceived the downpour of rain was exces­ sive, and at some it amounted to a cloud­ burst. In Iowa especially the rains which fell have led to flood conditions which it is feared will cause more damage ou the up­ per Mississippi than has l>een known in several decades. The floods of last week bad brought the Mississippi and its trib­ utaries to their danger point and many thousands of acres were not yet freefrom water when Friday’s storm occur­ ring has rendered the danger tenfold greater and indeed has made it certain that incalculable loss must result. Joliet Again Flooded. In Illinois, Joliet, which also suffered f.-oin floods recently, is again rendered a heavy sufferer by the rise of the Des­ plaine* river, while from all through the State report* are received showing the destruction which has been done to the crops by the hail and the rain, causing serious losses among the farmers. The crops, many of them just ripe for cut­ ting, are beaten down to the earth, and where the grain baa been stacked the rain has beaten in and ia rotting the stacks. In Indiana and Wisconsin the storm also made its appearance, but with less force than in Iowa. The previous con­ dition* were not ns bad, and it is hoped that the rise in the. creeks and rivers will paw by without causing very great looses. One death by lightning, how­ ever, is reported in Indiana. Nebraska and Colorado did not escape the deluge of rain which prevailed Fri­ day. From two to five inches is reported in many towns .in these two States, and, perhaps the only welcome result of the floods, the water famine in Denver. which for a time threatened to cripple the in­ dustries of the city, is relieved. While the West was thus suffering from storms, intolerable weather condi­ tions elsewhere were caused by the ex­ treme heat Severs)'prostrations were reported in Maryland and Ohio. Los* May Be Million*. Heavy rains in centoul Iowa are send­ ing a flood down upbn prosperous Mis­ souri farmers which will ruin many of them and cause losses aggregating, atxa conservative estimate. >2,560,000. Dis­ patches from Keokuk state that there seems to be no hope for the country be­ tween tbe Missiscppi river and its Mis­ souri bluffs between Keokuk and Han­ nibal. 300 square miles, mostly corn laid by, with some thousands of acres of wheat in the shock. The water had touched the danger line the first of the week and had begun to recede when heavy floods started again in the De* Moines, Skunk and Iowa rivers. With a stage in the Des Moines river only three feet below the tops of the great leyee*. the river began to rise three inches an hour at its mouth Friday, continuing un­ til th factor of safety was wiped out. The eurn crop is all made and wheat Is in the shock, entailing a total loss of the year’s work. Crops were never finer and tbe yield promised to be immense. Grain men say the above esti­ mate of value is too low and put. the figures of the loss from the overflow at nearer $4,000,000 between Keokuk end Hannibal. It is believed the Illinois levees will bold and the damage is likely to be only $20,000 to $30,000 between Keokuk and Quincy. Lowland farmers. river men and the weather bureau ob­ server alike predict the greatest damage ever known from floods on the upper Mis­ sissippi. Report* showed half the country for ■ distance of thirty miles between La­ grange and Hannibal already under wat­ er, king before the crest of the flood ar­ rived. Point* up the Des Moines river reported water flowing through the towns.

July corn declined 25c from the top figures follow­ ing the winding up of tbe “corner." Now it is claimed that July oats have been cornered also and from the fact that oat*’ touched the remarkable figure of 37%c there would seem to be manipulation of some kind going on. A readjustment is going on in wheat. Old wheat is commanding higher prem­ iums as a wet harvest .in the winter­ wheat section has damaged the quality to such an extent that for the present not more thnn 1 i»er cent of the receipts here are gaining contract. This poor showing is reflected in the strength.in July, which advanced to 79c, or nearly 6 cents over September. In the Minneapolis market the scarcity of good milling wheat, couplet! with bull manipulation ran July up over 80c. and as cash wheat of the contract grade com­ mands a premium,' there sale* of No. 1 northern off the tables at 81c. Well might it b<’ wished that these price* would rule for the coming crop, and pos­ sibly they will. . Last week saw a collapse in the bull deni in July corn. A week agj every* body was confident that the Wall street clique intended to put the price to $1. They saw bow easy it was to mark it up to 90c. but that was as high as th*, clique expected to put it. The price dropped from S6e Monday to USVjc on Wednesday, and later moved up to <H»c, and closed Saturday at 67%c. or IS&fr lower than the preriop; week. Both cattle and hogs reached the high point of the year during the week, yet closing prices for cattle were •consid­ erably lower than a week ago. with hog* about the same as a week ago. Sheep advanced GOc to 80c, and lambs 10c tn 15c during the week. Receipts for the week, compared with the previous week, increased 3.300 cattle and decreased 27.­ 000 hogs and 17,900 sheep. Compared .with the corresponding week a year ngn there was a decrease of 10,200 cattle. 62,GOO hogs, and 20,400 sheep.

The seeds of crimson clover, when •own In corn, are put In at the last cultivation of the corn. In July or An-J gust, according to locality and the growth of the corn. It- is the general practice eo simply scratch the seed in and while this is often sufficient It re­ sults in loss in seasons • when drought prevails or even when tbe aeasou is only a little more than ordinarily dry. Twelve to fifteen pounds of seed should be used per acre, and it should be put In just before the last cultivation of* Lu? corn so that tbe latter process will cover It well.

WHERE THE LEVEE BROKE IN DES MOINES. I The weather bateau's weekly summary of crop conditions says the lower Mis­ souri and upper Mississippi Valleys and lake region have continued to suffer froffi excessive rains, which also have inter­ rupted farm work in the Ohio Valley and in portions of the Middle Atlantic States and New England. Much Injury to crops and other property haif resulted from overflows In Iowa and portions of Illi­ nois, Missouri and Michigan. Drouth has been largely relieved in the Southern States, but extensive areas in that sec­ tion are still much In nerd of rain, espe­ cially the northern portions, extending from Oklahoma eastward to the Caro­ linas. The temperature conditions ns a whole have been' favorable, although rather low In the northern Rocky Moun­ tain districts. The north Pacific coast States sustained considerable damage from high winds and tbe Dakotas tnd Minnesota from hailstorms iu scattered localities. The corn crop has made splendid prog­ ress in the States of the central valleys, except in Iowa and limited portions of Missouri Nind Illinois, the condition of tha crop in Iowa being fairly good on welltilled uplands, but great damage has re­ sulted from floods o‘n the river bottoms of the. southern and eastern portions of that State and in Northern Illinois. High­ ly favorable reports are received from Nebraska. Kaamts and (he greater part of Missouri and -Illinois, and a decided improvement in the .-ondition of the crup in Ohio Valley is indicated. Rains have interfered with the har­ vesting of winter wheat where unfinished in the extreme northern districts and alio have been unfavorable for thrashing In the central valleys, while consider­ able wheat in shock in the lower Mis­ souri Valley ha* l»ecn damaged. Har­ vesting continues in California and has begun in Oregon, whi-ro wheat is filling nicely. The crop in Ixith Oregon and Washington has. however, sustained con­ siderable damage from recent high winds. ’ Spring wheat ha« advanced favorably in the principal spring wheat States, but ha.< sustained injury in scattered locali­ ties from hailstorms. Oat harvest is finished In the Southern States and is in progress in the central valleys, ami while 'lodging is extensively reported from Ohio, upper Mississippi and Missouri Valleys -and lake region, the general condition of the crop' con­ tinues satisfactory.

Chicago Bookmakers Report Alleged Theft from Safety Vault The steel-barred vaults of the Masonic Temple safety deposit vaults in the Ma­ sonic Temple. Chicago, wre robbed of more than $35,<»*J between 7 o’clock Fri­ day night and 9:30 Saturday morning, according to the complaints of deposit­ ors. The disappearance of the money is one of the m<wt mysterious In recent years. Tbe system of securing deposit* provides that there shall be three keys to each box. One of these, bald by the waty-litnan, fits the outer boxes. The other two are held by the depaaltor, one fitting the outer box and the other the inner receptacle. The charge of loss of deposits Was made Saturday by the bookmakers, who locked up their cash after returning from the Washington Park race track Friday evening. In addition to the $13,363 in eash which George Rose declares was in his box. there were two certificates of deposit for $8,000 and these were gone The bookmakers have been in the habit of depositing their money at the vault* every evening during the racing season shortly after the close of the day’s sport. These deposits were usually made by the cashiers of the different "bookie*," some of their employers not even having ac­ cess to the boxes which are held in their Dames. Officials of tbe deposit vault company oaid Saturday afternoon that they did Dot believe that nny money had -been stolen. They explained that there is no possible way by which the moaoy could be taken from the vault by others than those who hold tbe keys for the boxes. The police, after investigation, seemed satisfied that the safety deposit boxes were really robbed, as alleged by the bookmakers, and they advanced the the­ ory that the careless use of the “master” key to the vaults made the theft possi­ ble.

All of the fishing boats along Middle nnd Black River were taken, while Spring Gardens nnd adjacent Patapsco streams were alive with pleasure craft of every description. When the.stolm came up. almost with­ out warning .boats were tossed about nnd cries for help could be heard coming from every direction. Tugs nnd steamboats put out to the rescue, but bo thick was the weather and so choppy the seas that the efforts of the life savers proved futile for a time. The vessels' picked up doz­ ens of survivors from capsized bouts. The hurricane exhausted its fury in less than fifteen minutes. It was in tne resi­ dence portion of the city, along the river front, and in the harljor, where the wind spent its violence.

Troth and Opinion An article in the New York Sun says ist al the present time a ear horse in ryeburg. Me., is the only oftaleft In cars being run by trolley. There are S3,000 trolley cafs in America and onl y 1411 horse cars. Of these latter—and here Is a funny thing—more than twothirds are in backward I?ew York city, which only recently used 'patrol wag­ ons, lacks them yet ituparta of thetown, and signals from policeman to police­ man by the ordinary telephone and by rapping on. the pavement with clubs instead of having a police signal sys­ tem. Canada hasn’t a single horse car left. There are more government rein­ deer in Alaska than there are car horses In the whole United Slates. These are interesting and-eloquent facte. They tell of the increasing ex­ cellence of ' the t-treet car service throughout the country, and they mean that there is a vast failing off in the sum. total of misery in the animal king­ dom. Remembering the weary, strain: ing. mercilessly whipped car horses, and then contrasting the service they rendered with that of the flying electric that goes along with dearly the speed of the accommodation train, we realize again that the world certainly moves, and that in transportation the move­ ment is to the fore all the time. HE gift of epigit:ramaiic state­ ment seems not'an acquired but natural gift. Some minds work logically and state propositions with the defiteness of a Blackstone, for the proper com­ prehension and retention of which statements much mental effort is re­ quired. To others is given the power to state a proposition so tersely, pointedly, forcibly, and attractively that long after the events which called forth the statement hare passed from memory, the epigram still has power and place In the mind of'the hearer. Logic is the heavy siege-gun; epi­ gram the rapid-fire Gatling. Logic may build on firmer foundations, but the'superstructura will be of lest ar­ chitectural beauty and not so perma­ nent as those of epigram. The ordinary mind usually couples the gift of epi­ grammatic expression with a vitriolic personality of the John Randolph type.

THE GREAT COAL STRIKE. Exodus of Authraclte. Miners May P»»lve the Unless me the ■ntnracnc anthracite stnac strike .is soon Mettled there is a probability that the tntire region will iw deserted by its adult miners. When the strike was still young one of the district leaders sai.i that if .... in order to win, the strikers' necessary, official# would tukV every miner out of the region, finding work for them else­ where, and not l<*aviug enough mine worker* to o|H*rate a single colliery. It seems that the. threat was no idle boast. Already 43,<XM) adult miners have left the region and have found profitable work elsewhere. Aud now it Im claimed upon what appears to be excellent :.n| thority that 50,000 more miners can be given wfcrk in the soft coal regions of Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana, Illinois, Iowa. Kentucky and Tennessee. Should the*- .50.0'»0 leave the bard coal district* tho strike situation would be greatly simplified. When the strike was inaugurated there were only 105.000 adult miners, the remaining 45,000 affect­ ed by the cessation of labor being com­ posed of boys, old men. bosses and un­ classified workers nbont the mine*. Thus it can be seen at a glance tbat the plaeing of 30.000 additional strikers at work iu soft coal district* will force the oper­ ators cither to grant tbe concessions de­ manded. or abandon their mint";, in which la invested the vast sum of *5J1.5(MI.OOO. With the adult miners removed from the anthracite region it will be im|*Haible tor the <q>erators to work their mint>s. even though they could imjtorl 100.000 men. The State law provides that no man shall be allowed to mine coal unless ho has n certificate^ aud to lieves that low price tor the metal has been reached and if it were not for the coal xtrike copper would be selling at 13 cents and there would have been no fall­ ing off in consumption in June. Counterfeit half dollars are being cir­ culated in the copper country. They are perfect imitations ot the government is­ sue.

KANSAS CITY MAN *OIO NOT AWAKEN FOB THREE MONTHS Blood Supply to Brain Had Become dogged end Sluggish-Fhyaician Ef­ fects Cure—Republican River Changes BIO INCREASE IN BUILDINGS. A case of continuous sl<jep, one of the moat mysterious and baffling of diseases, has been coped with successfully in Kan­ sas City. The patient, D. C. Leavitt, is now up and about after sleeping since April 26. Mr. Leavitt went to sleep at Parsons, Kan., and after ten days was taken home, where he has been since. His phyridan’s theory was that by sleep­ ing on car seats, which he frequently did, Leavitt had dislocated the end of a ver­ tebra. producing a stagnant condition of the blood in the brain and causing sleep. By kneading the place so as to give the vein room to pass the blood the patient's sleep was made less and less like stupor and finally he woke up altogether. TOWN DESERTED BY RIVER. than in 1900. • In connection with some statistics on the production' of brick, the geological survey reports that there was a remarka­ ble increase in the number ot buildings erected in the forty-five largest dties of the country In 1901, as compared with 1900. In 1901 the number of building permits issued was 85.571. In 1900 it was 68.417. The gain was therefore mo: e than 25 per cent. The value of the build­ ings erected lest year was $372,173,631. against $241,556,585 in 1900, a gain of nearly 55 per cent. Although New York was first in the value of its buildings. with $186,015,697, the number of p<rmits was less by 1,056 than Philadelphia, where the total value of the new bulldIngs was only $29,519,710, and 1,605 more than In Chicago, where the total value was only $34,962,675. The average value of the buildings erected in New York in 1901 was $17,768. in Chicago $5,776, and in Philadelphia $3,383. The year 1901 was one of unprecedented activity in the production of building brick, the total outp-M being valued at $51,<M8.653, as compared with $43,099,512 in the year before^ The common brick product in­ creased in value from $38,021,514 in 1900 to $45,503,076 in 1901.

Seven men were burned by an explo­ sion in one of the buildings of the Stod­ dard Manufacturing works at Dayton, Ohio. Three probably will die. The ex­ plosion was caused by a leakage of nat­ ural gas, though it is not known how the Rainfall Breaks Records. June and July broke the “wet" record for Chicago. One foot and one-fourth of an inch of rain fell in the two months. There were thirty-nine rainy days, and in July there were thirty-rix showers. The month's precipitation was 5.78 inches. That for June was-6.45 inches. two extensive ‘reservations under an .r. act of the last session of Congress. The timber to be disposed of amounts to about 20.000,000 feet and covers 12,000 acres. The law requires that the sale shall be advertised for six months in most parts of the country. CHOLERA EPIDEMIC ALARMS. One hundred and twenty-four cases of cholera have been reported in Cairo, Egypt. The drinking fountains have been closed. The epidemic Is of a most virulent character. Many of the natives are attacked in the streets and die in a few minutes. The visitation is one of the most severe experienced for some time. The British garrison has been re­ moved, with the exception ot a small de­ tail, to the open desert, where the troops are now encamped. t CORN CROP IS ENORMOUS. Have Great Yield. Topeka grain men, farmers and the railroads look forward to a crop of 200,­ 000,000 bushels of corn. This is an enor­ mous crop for one State to raise, but when coupled with Nebraska and Okla­ homa the total yield seems incredible. Representatives of the Chicago Board of Trade who hare traversed these three States said that the total yield of corn in the territory mentioned would exceed 500.000.000 bushels.

Another interesting and extraordin­ ary animal surgical operation was re­ cently undertaken In the arena of a well-known traveling circus before a few privileged spectators. The creature Cti this occasloir'Svss a hippopotamus, and the complaint was that some of his teeth had grown to such an abnormal length that It was only with consider­ able difficulty and pain that the brute could masticate his food.

Contemporaneously, tbe elephant they seldom thrive In captivity they displayed a difficulty In walking. At are, therefore, most highly prized by first the keeper could not assign any their fortunate proprietors. The particular hippopotamus upon reason for thia unexpected development on tbe part of his charge, and forth­ whom this unique dental operation was with subjected the animal to a minute performed Is an unusually fine speci­ diagnosis. But he could not discover men of Its kind, aud Its welfare is ac­ any reason to which either the animal's cordingly zealously attended to by Its It is affectionately called bad temjier or lameness could be at­ owner. tributed, since “Big Tom” appeared to "Babe,” by no means an appropriate sobriquet, when it is remembere-l that be enjoying the best of health. The keeper, however, observed that he turns the scale at just under two the animal was lame in ills legs, and ton*; but the creature Is as docile as a also that bls toenails bad grown to an child, which favorable characteristic unusual extent It then occurred to the suggested the name to its owner. man that possibly the animal's crippled condition was due to the abnormal size of hM toenails. If such were the case, then the pain "Big Tom" endured while walking would be excruciating, and ■would account for his display* of bad temper. The keeper thereupon decided to cut and trim tbe creature's nails, as, even If the operation did not cure the malady. It would at any rate do no barm. Had "Big Tom” been roaming about in bls native Jungle, plowing and plodding In the heavy, rough soil, the nails would have been kept down to their proper site, but as he was de­ prived of these natural means of chlropody, then the same result would have to be accomplished by artificial means. But tbe task was not so easy as It appeared from a cursory glance. The keejjer realized that tbe work would have to be carried but with consum­ mate skill. If tbe result were to be at­ tended with satisfactory success. To insure this end. a special set of tools were prepared. This peculiar chiropody outfit comprised a saw, chisel, sharp knife, coarse rasp, sandpaper and smooth polishers, all specially manu­ factured for the operation. The elephant's legs were secured to the ground by means of chains to pre­ vent movement, but otherwise., "Big Tom" was left entirely free, since as the nails are of hard horn no pain would be experienced in the actual cut­ ting, though as tbe flesh around the nails had become inflamed and tender. it was feared that the creature might strongly emphasize its disapproval of the. operation by dealing Its keeper a powerful blow with -its trunk. Despite this possibility, however, no Interfer­ ence was made with regard to tbe free­ dom of the animal's trunk. Subsequent events proved that all qualms on this point were groundless. The saw w»u first utilized to cut •way a, large quantity of superfluous nail, and this tool was followed by the Chisel, which removed tbe portions In­ accessible to the saw. The animal at first appeared a trifle fidgety, but dis­ played no resentment to the manipula­ tions of the operator, as if he compre­ hended that the labor of tbe keeper was to bls own advantage. Sawing and chiseling completed, the chiropodist proceeded to rub down the Dalls to their required shape with th»coarse rasp. This filing proved no light mouth widely by means of further dulnth’fl held temptingly above bis nose. At first he refused point blank, but be. finally, saecumbed to the bait,, and openwl bls capacious jaws to the extent at two feet lUMMdlately two assistants, standing In position, dex­ terously threw chains over the distend­ ed jaws—one over tbe lower and tbe second over the upper—and passed tbe ends through ringbolts fixed to the post. “Babe” attempted to close bls prisoner, bound literally foot and mouth. Tbe keeper then proceeded to per­ form tbe necessary operation with all possible celerity. For this delicate dental work the menagerie proprietor has provided a special outfit, consisting of a small, finely tenoned taw, three files, one of which is about ms coarse as fine aud more suited for polishing purpewes. The files are only cut upon one side, the other faces being covered with thick and soft leather, so that in the event of the file slipping off the tooth, the brute’s mouth would not be wounded la any way. . The front digging teeth first claimed attention. The keeper wet to work with, a will, merrily filing at the teeth as if he were rasping a piece of wood fixed In a vice. The animal gurgled and spluttered, and large tears, like balls of crystal, roiled from his eyes. He grew restless, and In two or three min­ utes hla struggles became so violent that tbe operator had to desist. When "Babe" had quieted down once more, the dentist again set to work vigorously, and ceased for a few mo­ ments every time the hippopotamus grew restless. Probably the animal suffered little real pain, but experi­ enced a disagreeable sensation as the strong steel file rasped over the bone, which proved to be extremely bard.'At the etxl of five minutes, one tooth bad been tiled down an inch and a quarter, and before a quarter ot an hour had elapsed both tbe digging teeth had been treated aud polished. A curious feature was observed dur­ ing the operation. The body of the ani­ mal appeared to be bathed In blood, and the ground immediately beneath it was dyed a deep red. This was due to "Babe” violently perspiring, as the perspiration of the hippopotamus, when excited, is red in color. The deutal surgeon then directed his skill to the tusks. This task was consid­ erably facilitated by sawing off the tusk to the desired length, and then finally grinding the teeth down to tbe requisite shape by the files. They were then polished, and tbe unpleasant oper­ ation was completed. Great excitement now followed. Every man, with the HOW A SQUARE YARD OF NEW SKIN WAS GRAFTED ON. “Babe" has an unusually finely devel­ oped set of teeth, numbering twenty­ eight In all. Among these are two very prominent teeth, properly called tusk*, growing out of the lower jaw. They start In a vertical direction, but bond in a backward, graceful curve.

Tbe keeper then hurriedly knocked away tha chains bolding tbe animal's mouth, and also quickly hied him to a safe dis­ tance, In case "Babe" proved obstreper­ ous. The hippopotamus closed hla re­ leased mouth with a snap, and splutterer viciously with violent anger. He glared at the keeper as if he would have liked to have killed his tormentor. He opened and closed his. mouth sev­ eral times, found bls teeth more com­ fortable. and then dignified bls appre­ ciation of wbat had been done to him by sniffing about for something to munch. The keeper warily approached with an appetizing pall of brunmasb, which "Babe” devoured with great ' zctiL Tbe shackles were knocked off his legs, at which the brute gave a grunt of satisfaction.

Consequent­ ly, "Babe" has to submit to periodical overhaullugs of his teeth—the Dera­ tion takes place on the average about once a year. In the front of the mouth, also in the lower jaw, are two other prominent teeth, projecting straight forward. These are not used for biting, but for digging up tbe earth when tbe animal fancies a tasty root for dinner. These also. In "Babe's” case, have to be kept cut back, though they do not cause him so much inconvenience, when too long, as the tusks. To enable the operation to be satis­ factorily performed, “Babe" was led out Into the arena and placed near n stout Iron post which had been deeply and rigidly fixed into the ground.

Durand, a gold Democrat, was mada unanimous. There was, st the outset, a disposition on the part of the old line silver men to suspect tha motives of the . gold members, but the harmony idea finally predominated. Judge George H. Dursnd of Flint, who was nominated on the fourth ballot to run for Governor this fall, is credited with being a gold Democrat, though he was not a bolter In 1896. The silver men made a hard fight to beat him, but they were outgeneraled and outvoted. After the nomination ot Durand had been made unanimous on motion of D. J. Campsu of Detroit, the generally ac­ cepted leader of the silver Democrats, State Senator Helme, who had made a cloee fight for nomination, gracefully ap­ proached the harmony band wagon tad declared from tbe platform that he was ready to work for the nominee. Judge Durand did not attend the cowrendon nor authorize anyone to state that he would accept the nomination If it was accorded him. and the free silver element made a vigorous fight to defeat him on this ground. Judge Durand was not nominated by his home delegation, the one from Genesee County. His name was presented by ex-Congressman T. E. Tarsney of Detroit, who formerly repre­ sented the Tenth Congressional District In Congress. But' despite the absence ot any definite assurance of acceptance from Durand and the constant repetition by the sliver people of the suggestion that ho might decline to run If nominated, the candidacy of the gold Democrat from Flint started out strong and made steady gains. He had 454^ votes ont of a total of 1,050 on the first ballot, which was taken just before the 1 o'dock adjournment for luncheon. Charles R. SHgb of Grand Rapids had 228 votes on tbe first ballot, Mayor James Hemmell of Lansing nad 12SVi». State Senator James Helme of Lansing had 207 and there were thirtytwo scattering votes. The number of votes necessary to a choice was 508. Durand bad 465 votes on the second ballot, 471% on the third and 573 on the fourth. At tbe afternoon session It was a race betwren Durand and Helme, the latter getting 258 rotes on tbe second ballot, 299% on the third and 429 on the fourth, tbe silver men trying hard but Ineffectual­ ly to bring aboflt a combination to defeat Durand and place Helme at the head of tha ticket. . After the nomination of a candidate for Governor the convention adjourned until 7:30 p. m. to allow time for a discussion of candidates for other places on the ticket. - The convention reconvened at 8 p. m. The ticket was completed by the nomina­ tion of candidates for the other offices besides Governor, no opposition develop­ ing to any of the names presented. At 10 o'clock the convention adjourned sine die. Platform on State Issues. The plstform adopted at the morning session is devoted almost entirely to State issues, the only mention of national issues bring an indorsement of tbe elec­ tion of United States Senators directly by tbe people. The resolutions declare that the deatrucliuu of boss rule is the supreme is­ sue. They charge the present Republican administration with getting into power two years ago by gross corruption and manipulation of caucuses and nominating conventions and demand a primary elec­ tion law under which all nominations shall be made directly by the people. E<fual taxation and equitable assessments and the repeal of what are termed the "ripper laws" of the last State Legisla­ ture, which are said to be a violation of the- right of cities to have home rule, form other planks of the platform. The adop­ tion of the system known as the initia­ tive and referendum is demanded. The present State administration is charged with being Incompetent to prop­ erly guard the rights ft the combination of wealth in the big suit about to ba brought against the State by the Michi­ gan Central Railroad" on account of the revocation of the railroad's special char­ ter. The reason alleged for the incompe­ tency is that “the administration is no­ toriously friendly to the railroad’s inter­ ests and subject to its control." Another plank favors municipal owner­ ship of public utilities, subject to the ref­ erendum. The most striking figure on tbe ticket as nominated, perhaps, is John Donovan, candidate for Secretary of State, who was the only Democrat in the State Leg­ islature of 1896. He became a national figure because of this distinction. Fatherly Advice, Tbe Suitor—1 wish to umrry your eld­ est daughter. Mr. Iler Father—Oh. you do. eh? Are you In a position to support a family?

Tbe carpenters are now busy rebuilding tbe stage at tbe Auditorium, and other­ wise improving and enlarging tbe building. Since the doling of tbe opera house In the Ford hotel building, Hastings has needed someone with enterprise to furnish them with a suitable plaeeJor public gatherings such as this city needs, and as tbe man­ agement of the Auditorium contemplates giving some good entertainments, tbe pub­ lic should show their appreciation by liberal patronage. Wm. Young of Grand S. C. Dewey of Detroit is in the city this week looking over the old Ford hotel preparatory to reopening it for business, which be intends doing about lhe middle of next month in conjunction with Mr. Al­ len, who conducted tbe hotel so success­ fully here this spring. Mr. Dewey is a hotel man of long experience, having been en­ gaged In lids business at Chicago and at West Branch, Mich., where he was unfort­ unately burned outlast fall. He will start and maintain the hotel here In a first class manner and will make a thorough trial of the capacities of an east end hotel as a money maker. Considerable indignation is felt on the part of our people concerning inhuman treatment of their horses by tbe Italians who run the banana house. Fifty-five miles was driven Sunday and the trip to Sunfield and return was made Monday and tbe horse died shortly after returning. It came home very sweaty and was doused with cold water and given other inhuman treatment. This we learn from reliable authority. Our attention was first called to this matter over tbe phone by a lady who belives that a lesson should be ad­ ministered and that some one should speak lor tbe dumb animals that can not speak for themselves. —Charlotte Tribune. Robert Wakefield, a midde-aged farmer of Charleston township, was standing in front of tbe cutter bar to his binder when his horses sprang into a i an. Fortunately, the knife bar was out of gear; tbe sharp points of the guards penetrated both legs below the knee and the members were drawn under the bar. Almost bv Inatiuct Mr. Wakefield reached upward and fortunately grasped the reel in such a man­ ner as to prevent beingtdrawn further un­ der and thus sustained himself until the horses were slopped by some obstacle after running a distance of forty rods. Notwith­ standing his terrible wounds the victim managed to loosen lhe team from the bind­ er and mount one of them, thus reaching his home. His wounds and the loss of blood will lay him up for a long time.—Kalamaxoo Telegraph. Many are fond'of Tapioca, but dislike tiie trouble of soaking it. Use Mrs. Aus­ tin’s Quick Lunch Tapioca.

There are. however, many •genre and rectangular silos In success­ ful operation. Especially is this tbe case with those having rounded corners. Where great strength and large capac­ ity are demandeu tbe frame circular allo will best meet the requirements. This form of allo can be made quite durable by plastering the inside with cement. The circular stave silo, owing to Ita simplicity and economical con­ struction. seems to fully meet the re­ quirements of the farther. With tbe form of allo properly erected tbe waste of silage is reduced to the minimum. Hoops for the silo can be made of any suitable material, such as half inch, seven-sixteenths Inch or fiveeighths Inch rounO Iron, one-eighth inch flat Iron two Inches wide or wire. The woven wire fence hoop- Is often used since It Is regarded as being very economical. Doors may be simply sawed out. or made continuous from the bottom to the top of the silo.

The weight on the outer pendent should be Just sufficient to prevent the saw from riding. The spring from main post to the saw should be strong enough to. help the sawyer on tbe'return stroke.

If the plumage is to be kept clean and bright, especial­ ly on birds Intended for exhibition pur­ poses or of white varieties. It is essen­ tial that the dusting place be kept ab­ solutely dry. as otherwise it will soil the plumage and tbe fine bird on which you may pride yourself will look very dingy. The roofed box in the sketch will give an idea of how birds may be pro­ vided with a dry dust bath in nearly all kinds of weather. Cloths may be tacked across the top ends, with hooks at bottom for stormy weather, If the box Is in a field. Some poultry raisers allow their fowls the liberty of the sheds where the farnfmachlnery is housed aud here they get a fine dusting In all sorts of weather, but If the birds roost on them It does not improve their looks nor the working of the farm Im­ plements. Better keep them out, and assign them quarters more fitting. The The use of the frult-spraythg pumps makes easy the task of whitewashing stables, henhouses and cellars, and it Is much more effectual than the use of -the brush, because by making tbe stream a little larger and more forci­ ble, which most spraying nozzles admlt of, a stream can bo sent into cracks and crevices where the brush would not reach. It may not pryve as pene­ trating or as jtowerful a ^disinfectant ns the gas from burning sulphur and charcoal, but It takes next rank, and can be used where It might not be well to use tbe sulphuric acid gas, as in cellars under living rooms. If it is to be-used as a disinfectant, or as an in­ sect destroyer, the addition of a little carbolic acid or a little dissolved cop­ peras to tbe whitewash may be an ad­ vantage, and we prefer the latter, at least in cow stables, because it emits no offensive odor. Let the lime be thoroughly slaked, and strained through a cloth, so that It may be thin enough to work well in the nozzle. And sides, ceilings, comers and floors can be well sprayed in one-fourth the time needed for the use of the brush. Applied dur­ ing the hot weather, it does not take long to dry, and two coats can easily be given if one does not look thick enough when dried.—New Eugland Home­ stead. Handy Hay Derrick. W. A.

Missouri River ConimiMion Tells of Extravagant Expenditures. Reports from officers in charge of river and harbor improvements, with estimates for the fiscal year 1904. received by the chief of engineers include that of the Missouri river commission, which ceafted to exist Juue 30. The commission has been in existence since 1884. The report states that the policy of the mmmission, which has remained unchanged. waa for a contiuuons. progressive control of the river, contracting it where neces■ary, giving the channel ■ proper direction and securely -holding it in place, but that unfortunately the commission has not been permitted to carry that plan out. The report enters into an elaborate de­ fense <tf the commission, based upon criti­ cisms in the press and in the report of the House committee on rivers nnd har­ bors. It is asserted that Congress hpedfically directed tbe expenditure of funds for local work unconnected with the gen­ eral improvement of the river to the amount of $2,218,000. The commission has been at expense, the report states, to maintain improvements. Since the organization ot the commis­ sion $7,150,000 has been appropriated for work under it, of which $240,000 has been expended on tbe river above Sioux City, Iowa; $2,164,364 on detached locali­ ties. $380,082 on snagging operations, $469,585 for surveys and gauges. $855,­ 765 for plant, office work and expense* of the commission. leaving but S3.2S0.3U1 for effective, progressive and systematic Improvement of.the river extending over a period of eighteen years, part of this amount bring expended near Kansas City end the remainder in the first reach.

RUSH FOR PENSIONS. Flood of Applications Filed by Span­ lab War Veteran*. Pension Commissioner Ware was very much astonished when the pension appli­ cations growing out of tbe Spanish-Amer­ ican war were submitted to him. A com­ parative statement of the records of five regiments of volunteers .and fire regi­ ments of regulars which' were before Santiago shows that there has been great industry on the part of the pension at­ torneys. Commissioner Ware had heard that there were many applications from vet­ erans ot tha Spanish-American war, but lhe figures were far greater than he had imagined. Western and Southern regiments have been much less active than Northern and Eastern regiments in tbeir attempts to draw money from lhe United States treasury. When the Eighth Ohio landed in Cuba it had 1.330 members. Veterans of this regiment and relatives of deceased members have filed 705 pension claims. The government is asked to pay pensions for the services of 53 per cent of the men who served in that regiment. This regi­ ment was much larger than most regi­ ments which served in the Spanish war. Consequently its greater number of pen­ sion applications 'rill not bring the per­ centage of applicants above that of many others. A company which served in a certain volunteer regiment of a Northern State had a captain who was a penmen attor­ ney. He did not forget his former pro­ fession when he left the service, and it ia said that practically every member of that company has an application filed for a pension. his head indicating his inability to pro­ In accordance with a decision made by ceed longer at the count of the watch.

I gave my services to the coun­ try, and I think I should have some pen­ sion, of course, but I think $20 * month is too much. Is there any way I ean have my pension reduced or suspended while I enjoy the prosperity that Is mintat present?" This is the only request for a reduction of pension ever,receivrii by the bureau. It wks referred to th.pension examiner in the district fas wbi the man lived..who reported as follow--.

But he had not written his rhyme for “Sopisope—a soap which ia really soapy." He apent tbe even­ ing in the public reading room. There be presented a curiousVigure—you had to look at him twice before you realised how appal­ lingly disreputable he wm. He had the face of a gentleman—and of a drunkard. His manner, though shaky,-waa deferential. His overcoat, buttoned up to hia chin, covered the more rtartling lapses and deficienciee of his attire. He secured, without difficulty, the current number of a literary review, and seated himself in an obscure corner. It fell open at an article entitled “Everard Elslowe." For a moment the reading room gas1 igbta jumped and h is eyca swam. He passed his dirty-gray hand across hia dirty-gray forehead. He looked round suspiciously; No; nobody had noticed. It wm years since he bad seen that name in printe-30 years before it had been a name to make a publisher skip like a young man. It waa the name of an author who sold—an ant nor who sold his books, and, amongst other things, himself. I‘> was tbe usual discoverer’s article, tbe article of some well educated, barren, no account man. It had that air of conscious patronage which is so inseparable from the writer who knows be is a failure, and would awign it to hia superiority. The writer ventured to doubt whether any of Ms read­ ers had ever heard of the name of Everard Elslowe, and reminded them that 30 years before his romances were the joy of the public, and the gold mine of the publisher. It had even been reported that in one year hia income touched five figures. (Yea, it had been so reported—and with truth.) The critic admitted that Elslowe had met the taste of hia time, in order to point out that he might have done better. Tbe pop­ ular taste then wm comparatively crude and uneducated. And even before the change came Elalowe had lost his vogue. He failed to repeat his firs’- brilliant successes. He did recklessly careless work. He dropped out. It was hinted that his private life waa not too exemplary. What became of lum ulti­ mately the critic professed that he did not know, aii | hinted that he did not care. He went on to criticise EHowe's romances, and to show that here wm a great gift— spoiled, and now forgotten. He found it a little md that so great a popularity should vanish so quickly. “I wonder,” he coneluded, “what Everard Elslowe would think of it—in the improbable event of hi» being still alive.” The reader stared with irtony eyes away from the paper into the bitter gray atmos­ phere of the reading room. An acquaint­ ance—nearly m shabby m himself—touched him on the shoulder and whispered hoarse­ ly: “Anything remarkable in the Com­ panion this week?" Mr. Smith shook his bead. “Nothing. “8-e-ah!" Other reader* were getting annoyed. Talking wm Dot permitted in the reading room. Mr. Smith pushed back his ehair and walked out. He bought hia bottle of gin, at a shop where they knew Mm, on his way to his dingy room. There be sat down on his bed. with his head between bls hands, and solemnly cursed the critic whose article had brought the dead to Hfe. He had seen a ghost—the ghost of what he once had been. That ridiculous name. Everard Elslowe, that seemed to be beyond doubt a pseudonym, had been hia real name. Now that hie power and repute had left him, he had spared his rensitiveusss by taking another name. He could without shame let people sec what he waa—but not what be had been. He took from a drawer one of hia romances and turned a few pages. Yeo, he had done that—in tbe days before hia m:ndand nerves, overworked and over-stim­ ulated, had broken down. Now he did not even try to do things. He bad dictated to publisher*—he who now fawned on an ad­ vertising agent's clerk. He had been praised, sought after, courted, spoiled with the good things of the world. Things that he had said then came back to hia mem­ ory now with a ghastly irony. meant to do—ah! yes, the rhymed couplet to advertise “Sopisope.” .-Ind there also stood tha recently purchased bottle.

There was nothing for it but to resuthe their labor and hoe to lhe clanking pf their fetters, while, after a promise of what was to follow, in the shape bf tying up to the triangles, and tbe cat. if they quarreled again, the overseer went on to see to the others of his flock. ■ "It’s worse than a dog's life!” said Abel, bitterly.

"I’m sorry for yon; but don’t speak hard things of Mary.” "I'll try not," said Abel, as be hoed away excitedly; "but I hope this coffee we grow may poison those who drink it." Bart wns close up to a dense patch of forest—one wild tangle of cane and creep­ er. whitfu literally tied the tall tr<-e.< to­ gether and made the forest impawabli— when the shrieking ot a kind of jay which bad been flitting about excitedly stopped, and was followed by the melodious whis­ tle of a white bird and the twittering of quite a flock of little fellows of a gor­ geous scvarlet crimson. Then the shriek­ ing ot several parrots answering each other arose; while just above Bart's head, where clusters of trumpet-blossoms hung down fronj the edge of the forest, scores of brilliantly scaled humming birds lit­ erally buzzed about on almost transpar­ ent wing, and then suspended themsclvea in midair as they probed the nectariea of the flowers with their long bill*. Bart glanced at his fellow-cog riot and was about to.work back, when there came a sound from out the dark forest .which made him stare -wildly, and then the sound arose again. Bart changed color and did not stop to hoe, but walked rap­ idly across to Abel. , "What’s the matter?" said the latter. "Dunno, lad,” said tbe other, rubbing his brow with his arm; "bpt there's some­ thing wrong.” "What is it?’ "That’s what I.dunno; but just now something said quite plain. 'Bart, Bart!’ " "Nonsense! You were dreaming.” "Nay. I was wide awake as I am now. and as I turned and stared it said it again.” "Poll parrot." said Abel, gruffly. "Go on with your work. Here’s the over seer.” The young men worked away, and their tnq»erviw»r passed them. and. apparently satisfied, continued his journey round. "May hare been a poll parrot,” said Bart. "They do talk plain.

The instruments which were to locate buried wealth failed in all inwtanoes except in giving tbr members work in digging in different parts of the island. The Blakely was 101 days reach­ ing the Island from Victoria, getting a taste of heavy wbather which prevailed at times, and arriving at the island April ■17. After a day’s reconnoitering the in­ strument* were brought out and the men started work at a .place to which the apparatus pointed. After sinking a shwft twenty feet deep, another trial was made with the so-called gold finder, and it point­ ed in another direction—in fact, every time it was (brought out it pointed in a different direction. Finally, getting disgusted with it. Captain Whidden decided to test it with some gold coin on the beach. It failed to find the coin, and then a search for the treasure wns made independent of it. Holes were sunk where the crew of II. M. 8. Imperius nnd the schooner Aurora had searched, without better results. Provisions get­ ting low. it was decided to moke a start for home, and after a supply of corn had been loaded the vessel was turned north■ward. This was May 11. only twenty­ fire days having been spent on tbe isl­ and. Captains Whidden and Hackett still believe the treasure is there, but place no confidence 1n the instruments of Messrs.

Attired in a sailor's custom of white and blue canvas which set off her figure to the very beat advantage, Thljresa Mc­ Dougall, the acknowledged leader of a Jarge band of thieves, was arrested by Deputy Talyerds, of Rochester, N. "Y.. and his assistanta. For some weeks complaints have been coming in to the Sheriff of the depredations committed by this band of tramps In the vicinity of Chill, N-’ Y., but it seemed almost im­ possible to -locate tbe rendezvous of the band. The other night the Sheriff got a clew which led him to an abandoned farm house on Block Creek, where be surpris­ ed the captain and her lieutenant, W. II. Smith, both of whom were taken into custody. The leader was known to her band as "Jimmie McDougall,” nnd that is the name she gave to the officers. After spending several hours in a cell ( she broke down and sending for the ; matron she confessed that she was a woman.

City of Venice Struck by Seguin and Three of Crew Browned. The steamer City of Venice was struck and sent to the bottom of Lake Erie in fifteen minutes by the Canadian steamer Sequin off Point Rondeau at 1 o’clock Tuesday morning. Three of the Venice’s crew went down with their ship. The lost steamer was bound down Lake Eric from Lake Superior with a cargo of 2.500 tons of |ron ore and was on the Buffalo course when she met the Eanadion boat. Many of the passengers of the ill-fated ship jumped overboard in the panic fol­ lowing the collision, but were saved. The loss will be one of the most serious ot the year to the marine insurance companaies, ax the Venice was valued at $180.­ 000, and Insured for nearly that amount. The Wilson, lost off Duluth, was of high­ er value, but was not insured. The Ven­ ice was owned by the McGraw Transpor­ tation Company ot Bay City, of which Thomas Cranage is the head. She came out In 1892 and measured 2.107 tons. Her dimensions were: Length. 301 feet; keel and beam. 42 feet, Tlie Seqnln Is a amall steel steamer of 828 tons. The City of Venice went down in very deep water less than fifteen minutes after the col­ lision. After standing by. for an hour the Seguin headed for Cleveland with the survivors. The cause of the collision is not known. There was no fog nnd tbe night wns fairly clear. The lights of the City of Venice were burning brightly. SENATOR QUAY FACES PERIL. Caught in Squall in a Fishing Boat Off Atlantic City. United States Senator M. S. Quay had an exciting experience at Atlantic City, N. J. He was out on a little fishing smack enjoying a day’s deep-sea sport when he was caught In the fierce storm and swept to sea. The Senator was fish­ ing with his old friend. Captain Ben Sooy. They were about ten miles out when tbe storm came. The sky suddenly became so dark ithnt It was impossible to see a boat's length ahead. The seas rose to a dangerous height. Sails were close reefed nnd the party prepared to tide the fttorm. The tide carried them- out to sea and the rain poured in torrents for over three hours. At one time it looked at if lhe boat would be swamped, but it rude the storm out iu safety. The fishermen were mtfny miles from Atlantic City when the storm passed over nnd were obliged to spend the night at Brigantine. Senator Quay wns nearly prostrated by his ex­ perience. KILLED IN TRAIN COLLISION. Mi*under*tiinding Rcanltn in Fatal Wreck Near Collin*, Iowa. In a collision between a freight train nnd a work train on tl\e Chicago. Milwau­ kee nnd St. Paul Railway, four miles east of Collins, Iowa, eleven men were killed outright, two have since died .nnd about thirty were injured seriously. The trains came together iu a deep cut and on a sharp curve, when it was impossible for either engineer to see the other train more than tlrce or four car length-. Each train was making good speed, the freight to make up lost time out and tbe work train to reach a point to meet th? freight. The flat cars on which the la­ borers rode were telescoped and tbe men thrown in all directions and buried under the debris. It is said the wreck was due to a misunderstanding of orders on the part of the conductor of the work train. PoMtofficc Messenger* Are Finally Con­ vinced of Their Mistake.

MASKED BANDITS TAKE t2,000 FROM BURLINGTON LIMITED. Torpedo Track Near Savanna, I IL, and Halt Flyer Northbound—Traia Crev Forced to Remain Quiet While Safe la Blown Open—One Robber Elain. Train No. 47 of the Chicago. BurlingJaa tnd Quincy Railroad was held up by six Risked robbers at 11:30 o'clock Tuesday tight, tbe express car blown dp with dytamite and the safe robbed of a sum rstimated to'be $2,000. The robbery took place about 125 miles from Chicago between Savanna. HU tnd Morcux, a flag station eight miles sorth of that place. Torpedoes were plac­ id on the track by the bandits and as the north-lx>und train exploded them the jngioeer shut off the steam and applied die brake*, thinking that there was dan­ cer ahead. The moment the train came to a stop >ne of the masked robber* sprang aboard tbe engine and tbrnst a revolver into the face of the engineer and another nt the tireman. Both members of the engine •rew were threatened with death unless chey obeyed the commands of the robaers. Cut the Train in Two. Meanwhile another bandit stepped oafveen the express car and the passen­ ger coaches and cut the train in two. He fficn sprang aboard the engine and ordermI the engineer to pull up the track. When the engine had proceeded a short listance to a point far from any human habitation tbe robbers ordered a halt. The engineer, with a revolver muzzle pressed dose to bls ear, bad nothing to Jo but obey. The robber* were well equipped for :he task before them. They drew sticks >f dynamite from bulging pockets and ivent toward the express car, taking dong the engineer and fireman. Arriving at the door of the express car, :he robbers iet off the dynamite in their >osscsaion. This blew the express car :o pieces.

When the pile of money in sight had ranished inside tbe bag the “coin colcctor” gave the signal and his confed­ erates marched the engine crew back to :heir posts. The engineer and fireman were told to puli out as fast as possible .'rom the scene. The moment the locomotive began-to aove the robbers fled, )»to the blackness >f the night and the big patch of woods rhat lined the railway track. As they were disappearing in the brush Express Messenger Byl fired and killed one of diem. The authorities have been unable determine tbe identity of the dead san. Meantime a flagman on the train ot touches that had been left a f^w miles back on the road, suspecting at once what had happened, started on the dead tun for Savanna to give the alarm. On the way he heard the sound of the doable ixplosion that wrecked the express car ind tbe safe. After a run of several miles the flagoian arrived at Savanna. He was then breathless, but he managed to teU a short itory of the fate of the train. Officer* Stnrt in Purnuit. Policemen and railway officials were hurriedly summoned by the station agent, to whom the flagman had reported. It was then 1 o’clock and some difficulty was encountered iu getting engines and men together. At 1:30 o’clock, however, an engine was attached to a coach and the latter, filled with heavily armed officers Ind railway employes, sjd'rtcd from Sarann.i for the iccue of tbe robbery.

Notwitbotanding the rapid increase in producing capacity, codsuhiptive demand has- grown still faster, nnd the recent official report of a new high record of pig Iron production nt 8.­ 808,574 tons for the first half of 190,2 is accompanied by the statenM'nt that un­ sold stocks at the end of that period were only 29,861 tons, compared with 372,560 tons a year previously.

Heavy shipments of wool and cattle are giving the Western railroads enormous enrqings. It looks now as if these roads will maintain their good showings on present tonnages, and break all records after the crop movement get* under way. Tbe Northwest holds to a good volnm* of trade,.in the leading jobbing and manu­ facturing lines. The Minneapolis flour trade, while not as heavy as could bo wished, showed improvement over the several weeks preceding. In lumber ther* is talk of further price advances. Wool is steady at a level several cents above prices at this time last year. * In the grain trade there Is a feeling of satisfaction over the elosing of the July option. Every prominent grain market had its tightening up in July, and with the lightest supplies for yenni in wheat, corn aud oats there was opportunity for twice manipulation to the close. With the nervous hesitation naturally attendant upon market conditions in some degree artificial, now gone, the grain markets will be on a basis where normal influ­ ences will be given more weight. As was quite to’ be expected, wheat price* declined. This in response to tbe ex­ tremely favorable spring wheat reports. TRACY KILLS HIMSELF.

The-household has made desperate ef* ferts to conceal these fact* and prevent a public scandal, but a portion of th* truth has nevertheleea leaked out In so­ cial drcle*. The King’s attitude toward the Queen mother Is the most severely criticised part of hl* conduct, for h* seem* to have lost all sense of respect due to her and when in any way erotaed by her, he curses her in the language of a coal heaver, even though servant* and others may be present. The King will have it dearly understood that his word is supreme and at the most trifling oppo­ sition to his whims he becomes abusive. He haa frequently spat in the faces o( servants who have neglected hi* orden* I The most recent of these scenes very nearly resulted in an open rupture betwen the King and the Queen mothr. The King showered upon his mother all the oaths acquired from his low taste associates, and finally ordered her ont of the royal palace. The Queen remaining impassive, the King cried violently: "I shall call my guard* to throw you into ALroxso xnr. the street* of Madrid." He was ringing to give the order, when his confessor came hurriedly in, aud succeeded in re­ storing outward peace. The Queen moth­ er has-since then declined to see the King save in public and has passed most •f her time in prayer. It is said that ate th ught of retiring from the court, but ’hut the King s advisers have per­ suaded her to remain for tbe present at least. Serious as the consequence of these events has been in the palace and in the government, the public, which is as yet imperfectly informed of the King's ec­ centricities, is impressed rather favorably than otherwise. His refusal to sign certni?l decrees, and the continual oppo­ sition he raises against ministerial t>rojects, ha -e given rise to the hope that the power is held by a man resolute enough to end the evils engendered by the unfirm rule of a \yomnn swaying be­ tween political antagonism and religious pressure. His utter disregard of military prece­ dents has been much relished by the pop­ ulace as an act of Independence, while his personal investigation of an explo­ sion in the outskirts of Madrid at 7 a. m. was interpreted as a sign of praise­ worthy initiative. But those within the palace consider the King's conduct not bo much the resnlt of enterprise as the freaks of a young and hereditary weak mind, deranged, by the »udd-n acquisi­ tion otepower.

BIG SUM TO IMPROVE RIVER. Mianinaippi Commiaaion Hua Received S43.372.U93 Since 1870. The Mississippi river commission, hav­ ing in charge the work of improvement of the river from the mouth of the Ohio to the head of the passe*, ha* submitted its annual report to the chief of engi­ neer*. Tbe estimates for the fiscal year 1904 are as follow*: Continuing work uqder the commisaion. $2,000,000; protection of bank* at Caruthersville, $30,000: harbor at Memphi*. Tenn., $50,000; harbor nt Green­ ville.

On the first of the present fiscal year a balance of $2,589,204 was available for improvements of the river. A statement is made showing that since the organiza­ tion of the commission In 1879 until the present time the total amount appropri­ ated for that portion of tbe Mississippi river under the commi««ion has been $43,­ 572,003- | Corn Will Show Ilannc’r' Yield and Wheat Good. Reports from correspondents of R. G. Dun & Co. in important crop sections show continned favorable progress for cofn. and prospects of a banner yield. Winter wheat grades low, but the yield is good, jtnd in Nebraska spring wluat is being cut, with conditions favorable. Damage by floods in Texas to cotton is insignificant nnd a large yield is practi­ cally assured in the Southwest. In the Atlantic coast States, and iu lome parts of Georgia and Alabama rain Is needed, but the crop Is making favor­ able progress. Hay harvest is still great­ ly retarded by wet weather. Oats still promise a large yield. From central New York reports are numerous.of blight and rot of early potatoes, but still a g'ood yield. Tobacco in the Lynchbnrg section is free from insect* and weeds, thongh lit­ tle progress 1* made on account of the drought: in New Ysrk State an average yield is anticipated. Aoples are doing poorly and hops in New York State are making very unsatisfactory progress. Tobacco Smoke aa Disease Preventive.

When they approached the jungle nt last, hoeing more slowly—for, much as they longed to go up at once, they knew that any unusual movement on their part might be interpreted by watchful eyes into an. attempt at escape and bring down upon them a shot—Bart’s voice trembled and sounded hoarsely as he said, playfully: "Now.

Abel. Bart was slowly drawing out rough pieces of badly cemented stone—rough fragments really of coral and limestone from the nearest roof, of which the pris­ on barrack was built. At last, after what seemed an age, a faint breath of comparatively cool air began to play upon Abel's cheek, as Bart seemed to wsrk steadily on. Then his hand was seized and guided where it hardly wanted guiding, for the young man's imagination had painted all—to a rongh opening level with the floor, a hole little larger thgn might have been made for fowls to pass in and out of a poultry yard. They crept on in silence, and in the midst of the still darkness matters seem­ ed to be going so easily for them that Abel’s heart grew more regular in its pulsation, and be was just asking him­ self why he had not had invention enough to contrive this evasion, when a clear anti familiar voice cried, "Shtand!" and there was the click of a musket lock. What followed was almost momentary. Bart struck aside the bayonet leveled at his breast, and leaped upon the sentry before him, driving him backward and clapping his baud upon his mouth as he knelt upon his chest; while, ably second­ ing him, his companion wrested the mus­ ket from the man’s hand, twisted the bayonet from the end of the barrel, and. bolding it dsggerwise, pressed it against the man's throat. “Another word, and it’s your last!" biased Abel. “Bure, and I'll be as silent as Peter Mullaney’s grave, sor," whispered the the owld country, and ye’d break her heart if ye killed me." "Look here.” whispered Bart; ‘It’s week or nothing, my lad. If you give the alarm, it will be with that bayonet struck through you.” “And would a Kelly give the alarm, afthcr ho said on bis honor? Sure, you done with me—^there is the sea.” "But you—dressed as a boy!" said Abel. "Hush! Do you want that umn to know?’ whispered Mary softly. “My brother was unjustly punished and sent out here to div in prison, while I. u help­ less girl, might have starved at home. What could I do?" There was only-one of the two equal to the emergency as the soldier woke up, and that was Bart, who gave his knee a sounding slap and cried aloud: “Jack Dell, my lad, you've behaved like a trump, and gor us away splendid. 1 only wish. Abel, I had such a brother. Halloo, soger, where shall we set you ashore?” “Set me ashore?" said the Irishman, nodding at Mary; "what for?’ “What for?’ cried Bart. “To go back." “I’m not going back,” said the Irish­ man. laughing. "Sure, I want a change.” “You can’t go with us." "Sure, and you forced me to come, nnd ye wouldn't behave so dirthlly as to send me back?’ “But we’re escaping," said Bart. "Sure, and I’ll escape too," said Dinny, smiling. “It's moighty dull work stop­ ping there." "But you’re soldier," said Abel. tune." “You’ll be a deserter if you stop with us," growled Bart. "Ye made me a prishner, and I couldn't help meseH.”* “Why, 1 wanted you to go back last night!" growled Bart. ‘To be ate up entoirely by the ugly bastes of dogs! Thank ye kindly, sor, I'd rather not.” Dinny looked at Mary, and gave her a droll smile, which made her frown and look uneasy. • “Can you keep filth with those who trust you?' she said, quickly. "And is it a Kelly who can keep faith, me lad? Sure, an’ we’re the faithfulcat people there is anywhere. And, bedad! but you’re a handsome boy. and have a way wid you as'il make some hearts ache before ye’ve done.” / Mary started and turned a deep dork red, which showed through her sunbrowned skin.

Mr. Sage began life as n farmer’s boy. but nt the age of 12 was hired to a gfrocer, nnd soon owned n store of his own in Troy, his native State.

Mr. Sage has figured in most of the large Wall street epochs and critfes of the last quar‘ ter of a century, nnd in some spectacular personal escapades. Most people have experienced the embarrassment of meeting some one whose face Is familiar but whose name for the moment has slipped from mem­ ory.

This means the beginning of the )*riod of active buying that has been predicuM ’ ever since it became evident that this would be a good crop year. Iu the North­ west the harvest h practically made, and conservativeness and hesitation through fear of possible eleventh-hour calamity are giving way to confidence and a desire for further business expansi**. The West has begun buying heavily nnd is taking a full share of luxuries. The tfnusually large proportion of high-class freight carried, with its wide distnbntlon, is highly gratifying to western rail­ road management. This western pros­ perity has been the keynote ia everything of comment upon the general baaincss in tbe counter at large.’ Some 300 locomotives were aided to the equipment of .he Great Northern, North­ ern Pacific and Soo roads during the year. The facilities for bundling tbe Northwest­ ern crops are materially i*cre*se<} *ver last year, yet even with this there is more concern lest the roads be unable to handle everything with promptacns "an­ ally demanded by shippers. There will certainly be more tonnage thia year than ever before and there is the •pportunity for railroad earnings in the Northwest surpassing every previous record by far. The grain trnde is waiting f*r an esti­ mate of the Northwestern wheat yield. Wheat prices, meanwhile, have been r.n sharp decline under influence *f tbe fa­ vorable crop news.

Shade for Chicks. , There are thousands ot chicks hatch­ ed late In the season .that need pro­ jection from tbe sun's rays to enable them to make a* proper growth during the sum me.. Tbe coop Illustrated may be used, or any coop of a plan beat • miked to tbe ideas of tbe poultry mis-I er; any of them may be protected by an amuigcment such as shown. What- ; ever the form of the coop, the which Is to furnish sluide should be built on tbe slant shown, so that any rain which falls on It may be shed. To make this roof, n frame should be built of light lumber and tbe corner ■takes driven firmly Into the ground. The top may be covered with light cornstalks, hay. straw or burlap; In fact, with almost anything that will not draw heat, nnd which will be fair- * ly weather-proof. •• Such an arrangement as shown will be of great benefit to tbe chicks, for It will give them a cool and shady place after a run on the range. A number of these shades may be made «t very small cost so that there Is no excuse for going without such a pro-. teetlon for the coops. • RiK for Corn Hunker*. For the benefit of those who have corn to busk, I aend a sketch of a plat­ form I made to husk fodder on. I I find It very simple and convenient, j Take two O-in. boards, c c, 4 ft. long, for cleats. S]uice them so they | will pass between [ tbe two center crosspieces under tbe wagon box. Nail four boards 2 ft. long on end of cleats, as shown in the cut. This makes 1 FOB fodder. the platform on Niue out of ten poultry houses re­ main uncleaned during the summer.* except for tbe removal of the drop­ pings. If the houses are*occupied. As a result the lice greatly increase In num-, iter, and are responsible for tbe slow growth made by many of the chickens during tbe summer. There Is no reason why the houses should not be fumigated during the summeY almost as regularly as during the winter, and the labor Involved Is really not bo great An abundance of. whitewash and some carbolic acid will usually do all necessary to rid the houses'of lice, provided It is applied so that nil cracks and crevices are reach­ ed. Nest boxen should l>e removed and new ones substituted unless the old ones can be thoroughly cleansed. Roosts should come down so that the discnfectnnt may be placed In all the cracks; in abort, the house should be thoroughly cleansed, and that several times during the summer. An Important difference between dairy farming and grain farming is the amount of the farm that Is sold with tbe product that is of tbe fertility of tbe farm. Tbe man who sells a ton of wheat sells In It about $7 worth of fertilizing elements, and if he does not buy something to replace them his farm Is so iffueb poorer. The dairy­ man who sells 4i ton of butter har sold but fifty cents’ worth of fertilizing ma­ terial. and If he is a good dairyman, ho hns probably added much more than that, or twenty times that to the value of the farm In tbe bran, oil meal, cot­ ton seed or other food that he pur­ chased while feeding bls cows for mak­ ing that ton of butter. It is in this way that the dairyman’s farm '^con­ tinually growing more productive, and If he does not make much from his dairy, he should from the crops that be can grow on bls much enriched soil. —American Cultivator.

Tho New Jersey Experiment Station has been for three years testing diff­ erent forms and amounts of nitrogen­ ous fertilizer for sweet corn. The first group of plants had either nitrate of soda 150 pounds per acre, sulphate of npimania 120 pounds per acre, or dried blood two hundred pounds per acre. Each wm calculated to furnish the same amount of nitrogen. On a second group these amounts were multiplied by 1 2-3, and on a third group by 2%. Tbe three years test has shown an In­ crease of 23.3 to 40.2 per cent. The yield was largest where the most ni­ trogen was applied. The returns for sulphate of ammonia for three years1 was $12.66, for dried blood. $9.95, six! for nitrate of soda $9.69* per acre, and as the average cost of fertilizer was $4 per acre, they think it pays to sup­ ply tbe nitrogen. On cabbages they found the best results from dried blood, -about 270 pounds per acre, though 206 pounds of nitrate of soda was nearly equal In results. The aver­ age Increased value of tbe crops wm over $50 per acre. They seemed to act about alike In hastening the esrlluess of the crop.—New England Home­ stead. Don’t Sow Seed by Hand. The sowing of seed by hand Is not an econonilenl method as more seed Is required than when a drill Is used, and there is a larger return from the drift. owing to better covering of Uk? seed and greater uniformity ot dejfth. The drift has been Improved to a nigh degree of efficiency, and some have fertiliser attachments. In ail experi­ ments made to determine the compar­ ative value of the drill and band seed­ ing a ten quantity of seed, carefully the season If the crop gets a good start Sorghum is looked upon as ono of the very best crops for shocking and curing to be fed cut during tbe winter. As this crop may be seeded after cereals have been harvested, there is still am­ ple opportunity to prepare the soil and sow the seed. If the soil Is plowed to a depth of three or four Incbes and afterwards well worked down with the harrow and cultivators such a seed bed will favor the production of sev­ eral tons of cured sorghum per acre.

Mich lean Senator Piuea A wax Sud­ denly at Hi* Summer Home. Senator James II. McMillan ot Michi­ gan died suddenly at his summer cottage*, at Manchester-bythe-Sea, Mas*., at 4 o’clock Sunday morning. 'His death, which wnx due to congestion of the lungs and heart failure, came after a few hours’ Illness. Senator McMillan waa an ardent golfer and he spent Saturday on the grounds of the Enex Country Club in the sport, although he was not entered in the tour­ nament. While ascending a steep hill he felt faint nnd was sent to the club house and given a stimulant. Hq.recovefcd, re­ turned home and ate a hearty dinner with bis family, seeming in the best of spirits. At midnight he was aroused from sleep by difficult breathing and a physician was summoned. He found Mr. McMillan suf­ fering from heart trouble and one of bls lungs was congested. Under a powerful stimulant ne revived and soon wan asleep again. A second attack more violent fol­ lowed and tbe doctor found the other lung congested. Restoratives failed to give relief and the Senator died at 4 o’clock. At tbe bcdaide when the end came were the Senator's wife nnd daughter, and bis granddaughter. Miss Jarvis. James McMillan was born at Hamilton, Ont., May 12. 1838. and was a resilient of Detroit from 1855. Early in the com­ mercial success ot that city be became identified with its manufacturing inter­ ests and became in a few years one of the big men of that city and of the State and the railroad, lake marine, banking, manufacturing and general connnerrial world. The foundation of his fortune was laid in the lumber field. Early in life he became interested and active io politics as a Republican. ‘In 1884 be was a presidential elector. From 1885 to 18915 he served as chairman of the Michigan Republican State committee. In 1889 he was elected to the United States Sen­ ate. and in 1805 and again in 1901 be was re-elected. IKs present tdrrn expired in 1907. In Washington Senator McMillan lived in a palatial home at 1114 Vermont avenue. In tho Senate be had great in­ fluence. especially In committees where legislation wan framed, and in the inner circle of Senators who do the real work of that body. He practically ruled the District of Columbia and tbe capital city as chairman of the committee on the Dis­ trict of Columbia. BRYAN SETTLES IT. ■ Dr.’T. N.

The recent collapse of tbe Campanile in the Piazza di San Marco, Venice, removed one of tbe most interesting monuments in the most beautiful of all Eurojiean cities. Nor is there a city in Europe whose history is more romantic than the Queen City of all the Adriatic whose doom the falb-of this Lower foreshadows, in the judg­ ment of the city architect. Venice stands practically on a foundation of white poplar piles and slabs of oak driven or laid in the stiff bed of clay forming the group of islets which con­ Boys’ Suits, from $1.00 up. ’" stitute its site. Tbe formation Is the same in all of them.

Boys’ Caps, from 25c up. Despite tbe artificial character of the foundations, the construction of some Boys’ Sox. from 10c up. of the beautiful and massive structures for which Venice is famous the world Boys’ Suspenders, from 10c up. over dates back to the ninth century, and they have thus survived for over Boys’ Shirts, from 25c up. a thousand years. The pile found­ ations of Venice had, therefore, come Boys’ Ties, from 10c up. to be considered as imperishable as rock, and tbe collapse of the Cam­ panile is the first visible evidence of their decay. Signs of weakening in the walls of this tail watchtower had been in evidence for some years past; but an examination of the foundation in 1885 showed that both the oak and poplar on which it stood were then perfectly sound. It was suspected, therefore, that the evidences of decay which betrayed themselves in the walls were the result of a deterioration of the materials of which they were com­ posed and a consequent yielding to tbe crushing weight of the upper structure.

A Methodist minister in Northern Michigan is believed to have preached one of the shortest sermons on record. It was a hot Sunday and the minister had decided not to extend his discourse beyond half un hour. A member of bls congregation, meeting him in the vestibule of tbe church, remarked: “It’s hot tonight; make it short.” the minister laughed and saidhswould. The same remark was repeated by another member a moment later and tbe minister then and there de­ termined to make his sermon notable for its brevity. He announced aa his text: Luke xvi, 24: "And he cried and said: ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send.Lazarus, that be may dip the tip of his Auger in water and cool my tongue, for I am tormented in this flame.’ •’ Then be said: “We have here three persons—Abraham, Dives and Lazarus.

Speaking of that part of his journey, the traveler said: “The distance was cov­ ered by means of 122 <lriv«rs and 732 horses. The total cost for each sleigh was under $150.” From Yakutsk the travelers’ journey took them 700 miles to Verkoyansk, thence northeast 1,300 miles to the town of Sreduikolynisk. “The sleighs that brought us from Irkutsk were discarded at Ya­ kutsk for small reindeer sleds about sev­ en feet by three, covered in by canvas and reindeer skins.” said Mr. De Windt. “Bear skins formed the beds and there we lay nt full length, day after day, night after night, for the next two months, while a Yakutc driver urged on his deer train.

Money is easy abroad, and while an occasional flurry may run up rates oft our side, there is every reason to expect only temporary advances with an easy market and low rates as the rule. The credit ot the West has never been so good. And this credit based upon con­ fidence is really more important than any other consideration.

"An Indian, whom we had employed to show us where to find water on the desert, caught his foot in tlie stirrup while mounting bls’ horse and fell on his back. The horse started to run, drag­ ging the Indian by one foot As the ground was covered by jagged rocks, the Indian would have been killed bad not Adams run up and seized the horse by the bit The animal, wild with fright, reared and plunged. Ad­ ams was twice thrown upon the rocks, and once the horse’s hoof struck him, but he still gripped the hit until Mr. Ln-ncre aud I puccfleiFin releasing the Indian. ' . ‘Alfter all the danger was over Ad­ ams rat down upon a rock nnd began laughing, nnd when asked if he was hurt replied: “Oh. no; I'm only a little tired, but 1 guess you Will have to help me set this arm.’ We then started for Yuma, Adams riding some twenty-five miles that afternoon nnd never once complaining, though we could see by his drawn features that he was suffer­ ing intense pain. • "At dusk we camped for the night, and within an hour the sick man was delirious aud raving like a maniac Some time during the night be left camp. As noon as we discovered that he had gone we made every effort to find him, but could not do much until daylight, when we found his tracks in the sand. We followed the tracks ah that day and until about 9 o’clock the next day, when we came to a hard, rocky place at the foot of some rock hills. Here we lost the trail, nnd, try as we mlghL we could not find it again. "For three days we searched the hills, but not a trace of the man could we discover, though we well knew that somewhere within a radius of twenty or thirty miles lay the body of one of the bravest men that ever lost Ins life In that great deathtrap—the Colorado desert What Adam Was Doing.

When the early-hatched chicks arc two or three months old it is a good plan to go orer the floek and take out such pullets as are promising and which will form the laying flocto1 of the whi­ ter. Such ciilcks must be sqparated from the main flock, so that they may be given tlie neeed attention, and must be provided with shelter at night even though they have the range during the day. Cooiw like that shown in the lllmitratfon are Inexpensive, as they are formed from large dry goods boxes. Saw the back of a box so that a slant­ ing roof may be nailed on and be cov­ ered with tarred paper to make It wa-, terproof. The door Is hinged to the box arid the illnstratlon shows bow it is hooked up during the day when the chicks are ouL The three auger holes of good size just above the door provide ventilation, although nt one side is an opening to permit fresh air in the coop while the weather Is warm, this opening to be se­ curely covered with heavy wire netting of rather fine mesh. If for any reason it is desirable to confine the birds for any portion of the day, they will be quite comfortable If a water can Is placed jnxldc the coop, as shown In Figtire 1. and it is secured nt either aide by a loop of wire to a screw, so that It ennnot l>e tipped over. Tb</wa­ ter may be ixtured into the can from the outside, through the wire netting. The small food trough, shown at Figure 3, Is so simple anyone cau make It. Two end pieces are secured by a bottom board, the desired size; n narrow strip is placed at the back nnd another strip nailed from the highest point , From these two strips'are fastened heavy wires, which permit the chicks to thrust their heads through and get Horuc-Mudc V'indmhlu. A farmer of Dodge County, Neb., writes as follows to Iowa Homestead: "I have bad some experiments with liomemude windmills that I would like to contribute for the benefit of your readers. I have been experimenting with three designs, shown at I, 2 and 8. The shaft to which the arms are at­ tached are upright, the four arms pro­ jecting at right angles across the up­ per end of the shaft. By placing swlnging frames covered with canvas on the arms the wind will catch and turn the shaft by blowing against the fans <?u the sides Indicated by arrows. As they pass around to the op;>osite side they HOME-MADE WINJDMILI-. will open as seen at C. In Figure 1 at A will be seen one of the wings catch­ ing the breeze and Is held in place by a rope attached to the arm In the rear of it; as It passes around to B its edge Is towards the wind. Passing a little further the wind strikes It on the op­ posite side, and, having nothing to re­ sist. It raises out of the way until It comes around to the point D, when it falls In position to again catch the wind. The same principle Is found in Figures 2 and 3. These wings are so construct­ ed as to become pendulous and unre­ strained when returning against the wind, to be caught rigid when the wind acts upon them so as to obtain power.” Boll for Small Frnltn. It is almost imi>owible to do tlie work of preparing the soil for small fruits too thoroughly, and this Is particularly the case with strawberry plants. Much of this preparatory work may be done in the late summer and fall as soon ns the crop now occupying the soil is re­ moved Fertilizers should be applied, the soli should be plowed and thorough­ ly harrowed and covered with u crop of some kind that may be plowed under In the early spring. After such crop is plowed under the soil should be harrowed several times to put it In the best possible condition be­ fore setting the plants, if one has a COMPLLTE X-OUEtnr HOCSE. | strip of ground that can be Used for the purpose atfhlB time it will be found a the food, which may be thrown in from good plan to set out a number of va­ the outside of the coop, although the rieties ot strawlM'rry plants now, using chicks cannot get their feet In iL Fig­ the pot-groyrn plants that are offered ure 2 shows the roosts, which are sim­ by plantsmen at tills season.

Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born ' afflicted with weak kid­ neys. If the child urinties too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when ft should be able to control the passage. It is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty Is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. • Women as well-** men are made mis­ erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy.

Some of the farmers of northern Colorado are inaugurating a very novel kind of telephone system- It is a barbed wire system, by which mes­ sages are transmitted from point to point over the top wire of the neigh­ boring fences. The farmers living under tbe North Poudre canal have found ths new system very cheap and of good use. About fifteen miles of wire fencing are already thus utilized, and a dozen boxes are In use. The circuits are quite easily and cheaply formed. Where two fences on opposite sides of a roadway re­ quire to be connected a pole is erect­ ed on either side of the road and a wire is carried over the highway, thus joining the two fence* into a compete circuit. Connections over gateways are made in the same man­ ner. The currents ore so strong and so perfect that conversation is just as easily carried on over a barbed wire system as over tbe most approved metropolitan connection. The box used bv these farmers costs •17 each, which Is about the only ex­ pense that the patron of this system is obliged to incur. Tbe system under tbe North Poudre canal is being con­ stantly extended. “ Why did you insist on getting me an upper berth iu the sleeping car?” asked the habitually austere lady.

A few months before the crash came which swept away his fortune and left him ia a felon's cell, Andrews da* enc of the richest and most prosperous men lu Detroit, He lived in magnificent style in o house nn Woodward avenue, which cost him $100,000; he was police commiMdoner, be owned stock iu half a dozen banks, in several electric railroads and in num­ erous valuable- properties, was the vice­ president of the City Savings Bunk, con­ trolled n lending newspaper and was the treasurer of three trolley lines. Within six months he had lost every farthing of his wealth, and to feed his passion for speculation had robbed others af very nearly $2,000,000.. v Rise Was udden. Andrews' career is nn illustration t-f the proverb concerning the beggar on horseback. He was burn about thirty years ago in the little town of Romero, Mich., und until 1890 his ambition had not enabled him to rise above a clerkship in a country store. hi 1800 he went to Detroit with $5 in his i>ocket and secured a job as a clerk in n real estate firm. His push, his tirvti-ss energy and his inordinate love tor work won him quick promotion, and ar the end of his first year of service he bud $3,000 in bauk. Then he went home, married his sweet­ heart and returned to Detroit to in-gin "real work." At the end of the two years Andrews had cleared $25,(K)0 aud was still win­ ning. He was placed nt the bend of the loan department ot the real estate firm and began his third year In Detroit as a full partner in tlie house. In 1895 the rising young capitalist nnd i financier first felt the fever of specula­ tion which win ultimately to prove his ruin. Thus far be had wisely invested his saviugu in bank stock, and was now i power In the financial world of Detroit. Ills fortune waxed larger and larger, un­ til in 1900 he had acquired so mucn of the stock of the City Savings Bank that he succeeded in getting himt*elf elected vice-president. The president of the bank was Frank C. Pingree, a brother of the late Hazen I^ngree, but the actual management uf tbe Uistituthm was large­ ly in the hands of th<* daring young finan­ cier from Romero. Methods Were Open. Andrews had by this time proved him»rif a nueccsafiil iqieculator. ;iu< he was open in his nUyflcncy of khat method of getting-rich, file speculated freely, bet on stocks with the coolness of a veteran, and. ns was generally believed, won some millions in his ventures. Hut the day on which he was drawn .into the lot­ ting on Amalgamated Copper s^ock was tlie beginning of his downfall. Tlie banker played cojiper heavily, nnd by degrees he added property after prop­ erty to the burning pile. Bis rail raid Kocks went, then his real estate, then Ids home, then hi* stock in the bunks <if oth­ er cities, und finally be saw ruin staring him in the face. the Funds. One day in January last President Pin­ gree took a little trip to New York to be gorte a week or so. The first day that Andrews was left alone be overdrew his account at the bank tor $1,000,000 and cashed worthless checks for $000,000 more. /Then came the explosion, but the buoy­ ant young financier did not seem to care. He was cheerful in his prison cell, and did not worry about the mean things said of him in the papers. Although be had many friend* before Iris fall, it was only with tbe greatest difficulty that he secur­ ed bondstni-n for the $10,000 at which his bail was fixed. NO MORE TRAIN COLLISIONS.

Mimic Naval War Ends with Surren­ der of Pillsbury's Squadron. The mimic naval war on the New Eng­ land coast ended Sunday morning with the capture of Pillsbury's white squad­ ron off Magnolia. Maw, by Rear Ad­ miral Higginson’s 'fleet. Pillsbury was attempting to steal into Salem harbor when his vessels were sighted by Daniel H. Ktaehle, the signal boy of the flagship Kearsarge, and soon the defending bat­ tleships were racing to intercept the •'enemy.” The attacking ship* were' cor­ nered and Pillsbury was forced to sur­ render.

Commander NUsbury saw the game Leaders Acknowledge that Indication* Point to Lone Htruggtc. Much importance is attached to the calls Gen. 'Gobin receives from coal mine operators, who spend hours with’the gen­ eral in going over the strike situation. After haring met a number of operators Gen. (robin said that he does not see any signs of a settlement. , In fact he states that all Indications point more definitely to a prolongation of tbe strike now than they did when he first reached Shenandoah'. Pa. He keeps in touch with the strikers, as well as the operators, nnd may be seen daily riding over the hills with members of hi* staff. Along the road he frequently holds converwatiahM with miners, ail of whom dis­ play n friendly fueling toward him per­ sonally. There Is no Ml feeling In Shenandoah against the soldiers and the military has become so popular that a movement has been set afoot to start a company in that town. ■ Senator Hanna in Buffalo has admitted that all'hope of persuading the anthra­ cite coal operators to arbitrate with tho strikers bos been*abandoned. “I have exhausted nil my efforts," said Senator Hanna. “I have done nil in my power and can do no more. I will make noffurther attempts, for It would be'useless.” He declared there was no chance of or~ bitration so long -as only one side, the miners, were willing to arbitrate. He gave it as bls opinion that the miners will not give in as long as they are aide to fight. . “It will not be n short fight." said be. “It will be prolonged and such prolonga­ tion will mean not only hardships for the miners and the women and children dependent on them, but it will have its effect on the American people. The longer tins struggle continues the greater will l>e the increase in the price of coal.” President Roosevelt win be asked to call a special session of Congreeo to take action to end tbe coal strike. This was decided at a meeting in New York of tbe Central Federation Union, representing 250,000 workingmen. Russell Sage explained haw J. Pier­ pont Morgan could end the coal strike. "Mr. Morgan," 4>d Mr. .Sape, “is the greatest than hi the financial world of this country. No one can deny this, and it is through this fact alone that he caa bring an end to the coal strike. His In­ fluence is so great thnt all that it ia necessary for him to do is co apeak, de­ clare his mind on the subject and if it favors a termination of the strike it would not, be long before tbe miners would resume work." for hi* oiipenmt* to draw near. It was 4:20 o’clock when the white squadron the blue were summoned to quarters. At 5:35 Rear Admiral Higginson caHrd on Pillsbury to surrender. Five minutes later the commander of the squadron gracefully -complied, nending up a flag sig­ nal to that effect. Then the blue squadron hove to and Commander FiBsbnry came aboard the Kearsarge. where he and 'Rear AdmiFal Higginson said pktasom things to x-arh other.

According to report,' many shrewd,, though unscrupulous, business men of: Chicngo listened with bated breath tothe plausible but impossible plan by whichtaxes could be .reduced—for a considera­ tion to be paid, the tax fixer. Improved. by certain simple demonstrations which the tax fixers gave of their professed abil­ ity "to deliver the ffoods,” tbe business men handed over large sums of good' money to the cpfifideoce men. In return^they got nothing of value—nothing even,, ns substantial ns the gold-tinted braw brick which has temptcil so many farm­ ers to part with tlieir cash. Many thou-, sands of dollars were taken iu by mean* of this tax swindle, nnd a Chicago paper asserts that if the list of-victims could1; be published many familiar names wouldbe found. And the city men are left without the hope of jtossible revenge. Tbe farmer, if he can but swallow his pride’ caaarouse the country side amj make it warm'• for the men who have'swindled him. But the Chicago men in question daro make.no complaint, for they themselverbecame parties to n crime when they agreed to have their taxes “fixed.” The first warrant in the tax^fixing scan-dal arising f^un the discovery of a forg­ ed receipt for FAJ.770.17 for the MasonicTemple taxes was issued Tuesday. If was sworn out by representatives of theState’s Attorney's office, and charges Luke Wheeler with being a fugitive from justice. Detectives believe Wheeler Is not in or near Chicago, and. they say that it is prob­ able the fugitive i* amply supplied with money nnd perhaps aided In eweapiug the officers by powerful interests, an were Coughlin and Armstrong in the jury brib­ ing vase of two years ago.

Six yearn ago when Mr. Clark died, rhe estate wasvsiimati-d to be wortlf $10.<KM),000. how highly we may esteem the parties thenweiyes, will have any effect. The matter at issue can only be settled be­ tween the operators and the miners." A general statement regarding Mr. Morgan’s attitude was made on behalf of the operators, to the following effect: “Mr. Morgan knew the exact situnthm while he wa« in Europe just a» if he hud been here. He was iu touch with every­ thing that trnmqiin-d. and Could have in­ terfered in tbe- dispute while he wok abroad just as easily as when he return­ ed. His return does not change the-sit­ uation. There is no reason why he should interfere now any m<»re than at any time during the strike, and he does not mean to interfere.” Before Mr. Baer left town he called at Mr. Morgan's office again and, it v M believed, gave him an outline of what took place during the conference of the coal preidfleDts.

Humor the Peacemaker. . If the old-time duels were always Aisgracefulaod sometime* fatal, they had the merit, like all other human things full of human error, of being fruitful In good jokes. Michael MacDonaugh, In his book on “Irish Life and Charac­ ter,” gives some cakes in which humfir. from within or from without, came to tbe rescue of would-l>e-duel!sts. A; witty Dublin barrister was con­ sulted by a .physician as to calling out a man who had Insulted him. "Take my advice,” said the lawyer, "and Instead of calling him out. get him to call you in. and have your re­ venge that way. It will be more se­ cure nnd certain.” An upstart squire’ went to an old squire for advice as to sending a chal­ lenge. • .“Healy of Loughllnstown,” said he, "has threatened to pull me by tbe nose whenever he meets me. What would you advise me to do?" "Has he really used that threat?” asked tbe squire. PLUMPERS ATTACHED TO FALSE TEETH. AND TO TRUE ONES.

Coat sleeves ate of many varieties. collars are seen on many cloth suit* of .dressy make-up, although collars uf Tory heavy lace applitjurnl with cloth are used on tnilor gowns. Simple gowns of ?repe, veiling or other soft material nre made up with no trimming a deep lace collar of heavy Ince nnd rank aa very stylish. Vandyke collars- ot laee and cuff* to match are steadily gaining in favor and will be used on many velvet gown*. Black nnd White laces are used together a great deal. All-over piece lace may be bought In two kinds of color*, which makes tbe dressmaker's work easier. Fancy stock* and ties will be undiminisbed, but instead of wash materials there will l>e silk, chiffon, mousseline, satin and velvet. Especially pretty stocks nre are taken out when the greased paint is washed off. When used ns perma­ nent beautifiers plumpers sometime* turn back the clock twenty years. A great deal of care has to be taken In making teeth for public speakers, actors and singer*. It Is necessary to have them filled in so there can be no escape of air between them. The clear enunciation can only be bad when there Is no air Bpace nor chance for hissing. Electricity has made dentistry ad­ vance as it has advanced. There la an electric oven for baking porcelain that Is callable of a heat of 4.G00 degrees. An electric lathe and an electric, en­ gine are used for all the work in the mouth. It works bo much quicker that one-third of the,time Is employed that was formerly required, and so twotblrds of the pain aud nervous strain Is eliminated. Formerly It took half a day to make a’ filling. Now an expert, working with electricity, may fill a tooth in ten minutes. An electric root dryer heats up the cavity after It is cleaned and dries it out almost In­ stantly. That is a modem Invention nnd time-saver. An English modeling wax has taken the place of plaster of parts, which was a heat-producer.. be­ sides being Ill-tasting. Very few first-class dentists now ad­ minister chloroform or ether, andraerly Is nltrous-oxldc gas given. Any­ thing that reduces to unconsciousness has a bad effect. Local anesthetics are down to a fine point now. Probably the moat jtopular is ethol-chloride.' This Is sprayed on the part to be treated for sensitive dentifics and aching teeth.

This disease is due to neg­ lect of the teeth. It can be arrested If taken In time. There are specialties In dentistry. Two St. Louis men get $100 for straightening children's teeth.

In an introduction to a recent bulle­ tin on American breeds of beef cattle the broad statement 1b.made that prior to the discovery of America there were no cattle In the western benjlsphere. On one of hia voyages Columbus Is said to have brought a number of do­ mestic animals with him.

Femtfie sparrows are especially tyr­ annical toward their partners, especial­ ly at nest-bulldlng time, when they frequently attack their husbands fierce­ ly on account of their laziness. At such times the female voice can always be detected, both louder and shriller .than that of ber mate, as she pecks and tousles him, until he beats an ig­ nominious retreat Hen blackbirds nnd thrushes are often very overbear­ ing and even spiteful toward their mates when their bouses are la course of construction.

Com is greatly iu need of warm, dry weather thyongbout the northern portion of the corn belt, where the abnormally cool weather of the last two weeks has greatly retarded its maturity. Over the southern portion of the corn belt an ex­ cellent crop of early corn ia now practi­ cally assured. Iu portions of Iowa and central Jllinoi*. corn ha* badly lodged ns a result of local storms. Spring wheat harvest Is unfinished In the northern portion of the Red River valley, where it has been interrupted by frequent showers, which also hnve seri­ ously interfered with stacking nnd thrash­ ing. Sprouting nnd rotting in stack and shuck are reported from Iowa, and In southern Minnesota thrashed wheat is damp and discolored. Harvest is about three-fourths finished in Oregon and will be completed -In Washington during the present week, with yields about the av­ erage, though less than expected In Washington. A decided deterioration In jhe condition of cotton is reported generally through­ out the central at»d western portions of the cotton belt, as well as over a large part ot the eastern districts. The most favorable reports are from the Carolinas. In North Carolina tho condition of the crop continue* very promising, although the prevalence ot rust is widespread.

LABOR DAY GROWING. Store Genetally Observed Thi* Year than Ever Before. Labor Day as the workingman's holi­ day wa* more generally observed this year than ever before. In all the large cities ot the, country and in many of th^ smaller ones the duy was given ov<»r to the toilers. In Chicago labor's- host* marched through the streets to the music of many bands and the plaudit* of thou­ sands ot spectators who lined the side­ walk. Estimates ot the vast number of toilers ranged from 00.000 to 100.000. nnd it was conceded that no previous turnout in this city approximated th* size or dig­ nity of that of this year. Hitherto labor processions have been composed exclu­ sively ot male mrehauics. artisans nnd manual laborers. Monday's host included all the former elements and divisions of handsomely dressed young women and of men and women in quasi-profess:onal vo­ cations. A feature of the pageant W** the contribution box for money to be sent to the striking coal miner*. As lhe re­ ceptacle was hauled through lhe street* coins and bills were showered into k. Half a million men, women \nd chil­ dren attended the picnics and outings in the parks. The day was an appropriate climax of a year of uuprecedented devel­ opment of the unions in Chicago, A to­ tal of 232 unions, haring a membenthip of 150,000, is the report by the secretary ot the Chicago Federation for the year. At least 40,000 toiler? were in line in the New York parade, forty bands played national hymns, trade banners floated be­ side the nntloa’s badge and everywhere the machinery of trade and commerce was at a standstill in honor,of the day. The parade was under the ntii>pi-fs of the Building Trades Union. The sympathy held by laboring men there for the striking minors in the an­ thracite and bituminous coal fields was clearly demonstrated. Wherever there were gathering* of culebratora of the day there was talk of the conditions of the great strike. In the parade, men carried transparencies on which were written demands upon the operator* to consent to arbitratioa. Real, substantial sympathy wns shown by the distribution of contri­ bution boxes iflong the line ot march, and the Collection of a handsome sum of money to aid the miners. At Kansas City sixty-seven union* marched in the Labor Day parade. None had les* than sigty men in Hue and ton? had over 500. There were about 1G.OOG marchers. All business was suspended and public building* were closed. The celebration reached a climax with a pic­ nic at Electric Park, in the afterimos; at which Senator Fairbanks wade the < hief San Francisco’s union men hnd the largest parade in the history of the city.

The village of Morne Rouge, which was a heavy sufferer before, is now reported to be completely wiped out. Le Carbet, a village’ on the coast, has been literally destroyed by an immense tidal, wave which accompanied the volcanic eruption. Refugees to the number ot several hun­ dred have flocked from the unhappy iirland, and terror and panic prevail among those of the inhabitants who are unabla to leave. - Dbmlnca itself was visited with ,a dense cloud of dust and ashes. These feM for many miles around and carried death and devastation to all living things within the radius of the subterranean fury. As on the former occasion, the outburst was preceded by a series of thundering detonations from the interior of the mountain, which were rendered the more terrifying because of the tragedy of May 8 last, which was still so fresh within the minds of.the population. Close on these followed a great cone­ shaped cloud of ashes, which was bril­ liantly lit up-with flames which towered into the sky to an incredible height, and which gradually overspread the heavens. Like a great waterspout which breaks when high in the air, chis.column of dust and flames seemed suddenly to break and descend in an ever widening circle, till even Roseau was deluged with the suffo­ cating cloud of death. Simultaneously with the outburst from the mountain came the terrific tidal wave which swept out of existence the whole village of I^e Carbet, destroying the tea­ sels in 4ts small harbor, nnd doubtless causing many other casualties more or less serious which have not yet been learned. In almost all respects, the de­ tails of this last horror were the same as those experienced Inst May.

Convicts treated like beasts of the field and shot down like dogs by guards nnd contractors upon, the slighted pretext la the charge made against the managemeat of the Texas State penitentiary by an Investigating committee appointed by the last Legislature. The statement con­ tinues: "It is our conviction that the lease system i« a disgrace to the State and ought to be abolished. As a rule lhe Hfe oCb convict is not as valuable in the eyes of the sergeants.' guards and con­ tractors, with few exceptions, as that of a dog. In evidence thereof we find that the average life of a convict is seven years- Convicts are shot down upon the least provocation and when there is abso­ lutely no excuse for it,4 Convicts are worked when they are sick aud disabled and some have been compelled to work until they have dropped dead in their tracks. When men,are shot down like dogs and arc worked until they drop dead under this system, the people of Texas cannot hope to escape the renponsibility for these wrongs. The existing methods are harsh, cruel, inhuman and unworthy of a'*>- enlightened people. The law in regard to whipping convicts ought to be repealed. Tbe sergeant whips at any and all times that It is his pleasure to do so.

When near the Country Club and at tiio railroad crossing, ap electric car was noticed coming at a terrific rate of speed. Mr. Craig signaled to the motormnn to stop, but he apparently paid no attention to the warning nnd the car came plung­ ing on in its work of death. The I’resident’a carriage was literally smashed to pieces. T!ie President, Gov. Crane aud Secretary Cortelyou were piled -up in a heap. Craig Instantly Killed. The awe-stricken crowd which witness­ ed the accident rushed to the President’s carriage, but with no erp«‘<tetioii that be would be found alive. The President was cut on the right side of his chin and his face. Secret Service Agent William Craig was killed outright, and D. J.

In a Short time they proceeded to the Curtis Hotel nt Lenox, arriving there at Il o’clock. Tbe President retained his composure, although he showed solici­ tude for the rest of the party.

Manufacturing plants are now fully occupied as a rule, the least gratifying reports coming from furnaces that c*“not serious, is-the factor of crop moving Is about to be added, and moreover, ipuch coal must be moved by rail that usually goes to consumers by lake and canal.” The foregoing is from the Weekly Trade Review of R. G. Dun & Co. It con­ tinues: Iron furnaces are suspending produc­ tion because coke cannot be secured, and it Is evident that the rate of output at the opening of the new month will show a serious loss. Thia scarcity of furl was expected at the few plants using anthra­ cite coal, bnt has come as a ahock to the coke furnaces, for the Connellsville ovens have steadily maintained a weekly pro­ duction of 250,000 toni. Inadequate rail­ way facilities are responsible and the situition is critical. As the stocks ot pig iron were very low at the opening ot August, consumers are In an embarrassing position, and there is s growing disposition to refuse contract.”. Imports are increasing, and numerous plank are reported whereby the finished product may be exported in order to se­ cure the tariff drawback. These opera­ tions promise no relief to domestic con­ sumers, and the railways are especially anxious for supplies. The dry goods jobbing trade reports a liberal distribution and supplies are only moderate in the primary market.

FORTS DESTROY SHIPS. APPLY TORCH TO MINE. Army Gets Beat of the Navy in Mimic Engagement. Admiral Higginson's warships made an attack on Forts Wright, Michie and Ter­ ry Monday night, but after a mimic bat­ tle lasting nearly an hour the big shore batteries had disabled every ship engaged. Every battery in the forts was worked with effect. . Just before midnight four vessels tried to norm Price's Neck signal station, near Narragansett. and their gun fire against that point was followed by ninety-six sbota from FY>rt Adams. The attack on the forts guarding the entrance to Long Island sound began soon after dark. At lOdlO Rear Rdmiral Higginson's fleet was reported as passing Lhe lighthouse of New London. At the same moment came a message stating that the battleships had opened on Fort Michie at Gull Isl­ and with their heavy guns. The forts had not then returned the fire.

Afterward the guns ot Fort Terry were heard, ap­ parently trained on the battleship. A message was received from the signal station at Fort Mansfield aonooncinc that tie whole fleet was coming toward Fish­ ers island. The ships were discovered by the searchlights and the fire of three forts concentrated on them. T%e ships with­ drew after an engagement lasting about ten minutes. The batteries of Fort Wright were one riieet of flame for ten minutes and hun­ dreds of mortars were thrown into the air at angles that conaiiuctivriy dropped ter­ rible explosive shells upon the decks of the riripa. Col. Davis, the district artil­ lery commander, viewed the engagement from Mount Prosjiect and sent telephone reports to Gen. MacArthur telling of the battle.

Kitchener comes back to London with the British public still feel­ ing that It is lu his debt. There has been considerable dissatisfaction over the fact that instead of a half-million being voted to him by Parliament he received but half that sum, and that instead of an earldom, such as was bestowed upou Lord country and a raise in rank from that of lieutenant general to that of genacai. The last-named is n big advancement as far as material benefit Is. concerned, the difference In pay being the raise from f27 to $39 a day. However, Kitchener has looked the matter in the face with great equanimity, knowing that with the public dissatisfied with his reward delay would only make it greater.

The minister of the colonies, M. Doum^rgue. in placing $100,000 at the dispo­ sition of the Governor of Martinique, M.

Prices nre well inaintaim-d by liberal consumption, which more than ties fo^prpduetion. Domestic conditions continue much better than those existing abroad and borne trade received more at­ tention than foreign commerce. Farm, products hare appreciated in value owing to leas favorable weather and producers, will be fully compensated for any de­ crease in quantity by the higher quota­ tions. Earnings of railways during Au- . gust were 3-6 per cent larger than a year ago and 18.9 j»er cent in excess of 1900." R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trude makes the foregoing resume of the Industrial situation. Continuing, it says: Advancing raw material aroused much anxiety among purchasers of cotton goods and there were numerous inquiries for forward contracts, but the volume of business was not materially increased. Quotations of footwear are fully main­ tained at the recent advance. It is note­ worthy that buying has been heaviest in . the finer grades and sample lines of spring style* are also most sought in the good qualities. A ■ good feature is the urgency for qnick shipment, indicating that stocks are low. Leather sells free­ ly at the recent advance in quotation.’, but hides apjtear. to have risen alwve the views of -tanners, resulting in a quiet market. Agricultural conditions, are less foitisfactory, and If the official estimate as to cotton is not exaggerated the yield will Dot be large enough to sustain consump­ tion at the present rate. Wheat is com­ ing forward freely, though receipts do not equal the abnormally heavy movement a year ago. Corn developed strength be­ cause of ftears that injury would be done by frost, and the movement is very alow compared with last year’s figures. ~ ~1 Tbe Northwest has had LDIMCO. another week cf unseasur.----- ——___ able weather. In spite cf tills, however, trade is rejiorted good, and collections easy. The unfavorable fea­ ture is the continued light crop move-* xneut, Minneapolis reports being far be­ hind last year in the matter of wheat re­ ceipts. The grain will begin coming in quantity eventually but every succeeding day of bad weather delays the movement still further. Something of a scare was worked up in a small way by low temper­ atures over-th© Northwest and tlie possi­ bility of damage to wheat in the extreme Northwest, and to tbe late flax still in some degree Immature. To what extent stock market advances already made have discounted the future is problematical. Certainly it is a reaaonable assumption that If the western railroad* dependent largely ujion corn, or the tonnage derived indirectly from corn, were able to hold up earaings last vear, and even make increase*, they should do wonderfully well this year. when, as an illustration, the present condition of corn In Missouri is 108, while last year at thia time it was 29 on a much smaller acreage. More Scotch iron waa brought over lust week for use in Chicago. A little of un­ favorable comment was occasioned by this, although just why It i* hard to see. It has no special significance and means nothing more than that we must have iron, and ns there are many difficulties in the way of maximum production the most important of which is the coal strike, con­ sumers are going abroad fof what theycanuot get at home. Tbe foreign iron makers will lose their American trade whenever American mills can book tbe orders. Failures for the week were tinder the average and there were no new develoj>ments of an unfavorable nature in the industrial lins. The feeling is growing, however, that the anthracite strike must Im- settled even if a settlement must be forced upon the mine owners and their property rights disregarded, in view of the existence of something that has gro’orn to be a serioffk menace to the general prosperity.

The cylindrical bale has become very popular for bay and cotton, nnd many shippers nre discarding their old presses to got one that will press It in this form. Tlie standard bale'is eight­ een inches In diameter and thirty-six Inches long. The pressure used lu packing for home use puts about two hundred pounds In such a bale, but when intended ‘for export they um> higher pressure and get in about 273 pounds. A bale put up for army use Is but half as long, or eighteen Inches, and welgs about 140 pounds. It is cal­ culated that a good pack horse or mule will travel with one of these on each side, and they can go where the army wagon* could not Thousands of tons of these round bales have been shipped to our. array In the Philippines, and a large amoufit to tbe British army in South Africa. In this form a given weight of hay Is compressed into about one-half the space that It occupied In the square bale.' nnd the fact that It docs s»ot pack as closely In car or ves­ sel. there being spaces between the bales, which prevents moulding, pre­ serves the sweetness of the hay. nnd the close pressure In the bale reduces the combustibility. For cotton many of the same advantages nre claimed for the round hale, tint is. getting more in small space nnd reducing the danger from fire.—American Cultivator. Cutting Potatoes for Seed.

Much of the success with the crop de­ pends on starting right With a good strong growth at the start tlte battle is half won. The other half of the tattle may be won by proper spraying and tillage. . The most objection to continuing to keep the strawberry bed In one place for several years Is not the exhaustion of tlie soil, because the fertility can lie applied. It Is not the matting of tbe rtfv.-, because after runner* have put -out into tbe paths between them, if they are worked mellow and enriched, tbe old row />f plants can be cut out, leaving the pathjhere, and tho new plants can lie thinned. If too abundant, aud the weeds can be taken out, but Insect pests are so num irons now that It mar be easier to set a new bed than to try to kill them. There nre more than a dozen that are well known, and the root borer, crown borer, stalk borer, leaf roller*, cutworms and grubs are probably those which do.tbe most dam­ age. Nearly every one of these can be found in the soil an pegs, larvae or pupa soon after the fruit is picked. ard when any of them hare been especially trc-U'ilcsotne, we would advise the set­ ting a new bed at some distance from the old one. and plowing up the old tad In August, which will destroy most ft them. If any plant* are taken from the old |k*d tt> set In tbe new one, wash alf soil from their root* before they are set. to prevent carrying the-pest to the new bed, and reject al! that are not strong and vtgoroua.—American Cultivator. Osr Farmer Aristocrats. Tales of sudden wealth nre quite com­ mon in the famous Kansas and Okla­ homa wheat belt; tine house*, modern In every appointment, are the Tula; rubber-tired bugghw and automobile* are nothing to attract attention. In cer­ tain communities oven tbe farmer has grown metropolitan to tbe extent of building nn opera house on a school lot and securing some of the best attrac­ tions In the theatrical line. It was not until the present winter that Wichita could afford a guarantee for certain notable singers. Among those occupy­ ing front acais were well-known wheat­ growers. Farmers* daughters and farmers’ sons form a goodly part of the Kansas society element,, while- piano salesmen look to them for their quick deals. It is nothing uncommon for .a fanner to come to town nhd' buy two or three rublx-r-tlred buggies, or even to place an order for an automobile. Mr. D. W. Blaine, a rich fanner of Pratt County, superintends all bls har­ vesting In an automobile. Many oth­ ers are equally plutocratic. One of the richest fanners In the Kansas wheat belt Is John T. Stewart, who came to the State five years ngo. He borrowed $50 from a friend, rented a quarter section 'of land In Sumner County and began work. To-day he Is worth ?2,000.(X)0, and his Income from wheat In 1901 was $trl.OOO. He Is known as the wheat king of Kansas. There are twenty-three millionaires in Kan­ sas, fifteen of whom are fanners’ living on farms nnd running them ns an' In­ vestment. Perhaps they have not all of their fortun«' Invested In land, but a goodly portion of It Is.

The claim that nlfalfa will not thrive on sandy soil Is not borne out by ex­ periment. Col. B. W. Richards, secre­ tary of the Laurel Hill Cemetery Compony, who has a farm at Hammonton, N. J., has grown alfalfa for several years, and on a plot consisting of white sand. The plot was seeded in August, 1898, and another later. As many us four or five cuttings are secured every season, and from two to three tons of hay per acre are cured. Manure Is spread over the land every-JaJL-and lime (mostly from burnt oyster shells) Is broadcasted. The land has become very productive, and more animals were necessary iu order to consume the hay produced. The experiment s a valuable one. as it demonstrates what can be done with alfalfa on the lightest kind of sand.—Philadelphia Record. In Favor*of Sheep. It Is sometimes asserted that cattle and sheep "require the same amount of feed per 1,000 pounds of live welghL according to Prof. Curtiss. This state­ ment seems not to be well founded. In softie experiments at the Iowa sta­ tion the cattle consumed 10.0 pounds of dry matter per 1.000 pounds of live weight against an average of 29.7 by the sheep. Both cattle and sheep were on full feed. Tbe sheep made a daily gain of 3.73 pounds per 1.000 pounds of live weight and the cattle 2.14? In summing up rids comparison we find that while the sheep ate 48 per cent more than the cattle they gained near­ ly 73 per cent more. Topdmalng Winter Wheat. Iu some sections of the country It Is a practice to top dress the wheat in tbe fall, and tills regardlows of the quan­ tity of fertilizer applied to the field before seeding. This Is an excellent plan and should be more generally prac­ ticed. The Idea is to apply this top dressing Immediately after seeding, us­ ing a manure spreader arranged so that the manure will be scattered evenly but’quite thin. During tbe whiter the strength of the manure Is washed down to the roots of the plants while the courser portion acts as a mulch. Feed Bulky Food. Growing animals need bulky food to keep the stomach distended? Whey feeding Illustrates the point to an ex­ treme. One hundred pounds contain only about seven pounds of solid*. The animal therefore must drink and void nine-three pounds of water to get tbe ■even pounds dry matter. While not an Ideal food, tec growth obtained serves to show a demand for bulk. HlRhw,wy*'for Ships Across Panama T^ill Be Lighted by electricity from One End to the Other of Its Fortythree Miles of Length. The Pannmtt canal, when It Is finished—and its ultimate completion is at last un assured fact—will be much like a great street or boulevard, 150 feet wide and brilliantly lighted from one end to-.the other by electricity at night •Mils watery avenue will be perfectly straight throughout for more than half of Its entire length nnd will extend over a. distance of aliout forty-three miles, connecting the Atlantic with tbe Pacific ocean. Already the canal Is two-fifths dug. To complete It will require fifteen years aud an expenditure of $145,000,­ 000* In money. An army of at least 13,­ 000 lalwrers will be employed on the job. most of them being, fetched for the purpose from. Jamaica, under con­ tract. When the ditch is completed, however, it will become a large source of revenue to Uncle Ham, Inasmuch as he will charge $1 for every ton of ship­ ping that goes through from ocenn^to ocean. It will not be an excessive price. Inasmuch ns the regular toll for passing the Sues canal Is $2 a ton. The. first-Idea of the grant French engineer, De Lesseps, was to dig n sen level canal across the Isthmus, Just as a small boy might cut ? ditch between two ponds. But it became apparent crete masonry fnr holding the vessel* while the waiter level is raised or low­ ered to give them the step required up or down. ThuokK to the skill of the "en­ gineers, the highest bottom level ot the cai-.u! will be only 08 feet al»ove tbe ocean. For a considerable part of Its length the canal runs through the valiey of the C(lmgres River—a stream which, though small in tbe dry season, Ir sub­ ject to sudden ant! tremendous fresh­ ets. 'Hence means must be provided to prevent It from causing destruction, aud. a great dam will be built accord; ingly at Bohio for storing the flood waters. This dam will transform tho Chagres Into a vast lake, the bound­ aries of which have been accurately established and which will extend thir­ teen miles to Obispo, where the canal leave*' the river, covering an area .of more than twenty-one square miles. Tbe capacity of the dam will be some­ thing like 200,000,000 ruble yards. Another dam . will’be built at Alhajueln, on the upper Chagres. nine miles from the canal, of Concrete masonry, forming a reservoir with a surface nrea of ten square miles and a capacity of 130,000,000 cubic yards. It will not only help to store tbe hood waters of the Chagres In the wet season, but will do some very useful work. Act­ ing as a feeder to the summit level of the canal, it will supply the great ditch with water In the dry season, through the medium of an aqueduct, and will furnish hydraulic power for operating the huge locks. The locks will be worked by electricity obtained from this water power, and by the same means the canal will lie illuminated throughout its entire length with elec­ tric lights. In this wny tbe Chngres will be transformed from an element of dan­ ger Into a useful friend aud helper. No trouble Is feared from volcanoes,'inas­ much as there are none within 200 miles. Tlie harbors at Colon and Pan­ ama nre excellent, and need no further excavation or protection, though ba­ sins will J>e built at each end of the canal for tbe convenient ingress nnd egress of ships. Each, of these basins will be 130 yards wide and 1,000 yards loug, and will be provided with moor­ ing facilities nnd wharvos connected with the terminal stations of the Pan­ ama Railroad. The railroad runs along­ side of the big ditch clear across the BARTHOLIN IS DEAD. TAKES HIS OWN LIFE IN AN IOWA WHEAT FIELD.

A mountain chain, which Is a continuation of tbe great Cordlllernn system, runs along the middle of the Isthmus, anti to cut through It down to the level of the ocean would be a most lalwrlous and costly task. Also, the 'Chngres III ver, which. Is addicted to periodic Hoods, would cause no end of trouble. Accordingly the canal was carried jver the mountain range, through a convenient pass, aud arrangements were made for locks. In’which, by fill­ ing them with water, vessels passing through will be lifted to the necessary elevation. It was a simple matter enough, only eight locks In all l»eing isthmus, greatly .facilitating the work. For much of its length the banks of the canid will be faced with masonry. The canal when' finished will accom­ modate merchantmen and war Vessels of the largest size, and the time of transit from ocean to ocean win be less than a day. The benefits It will bring to the commerce of the world will lx?, of course. Incalculable. COMRADESHIP irl THE SENATE. Repartee that Serves the Purpose of u • CroAa-E^amlnation. It may be heretical to say IL but the debates both in tbe Senate and House seem to partake of the nature of crossexamination—of effort to trip a speak­ er while he Is courageously trying to furnish material for the Congressional •Record. The taunting repartee may seem rather rude, even insulting, but It serves a good purpose in- bringing out. In a face to face contra.st, aH phases of the question under consider­ ation. For Instance. Senator Allison Is speaking, nnd Senator Tillman raises a point A colleague of the speaker, sny Senator Aldrich, quietly goes over to the South Carolinian’s desk, and |»ints out a reference or whispers a supplemental explanation, which may or may not bo satlstfactory, according to the nod of Tillman’s brad. Senator Quay sits with his’hauds folded, quiet­ ly watching the proceedings, with his Inevitable motion to adjourn. It may l>e that Senator Penrose, with one hand In his pocket, is trying to push a matter through, and If so. Quay as­ sists him with the whispered explana­ tion. There is something charming In this spirit of coinradery between Senators interested jointly In a measure. When Senator Frye talks on tlie -“hipping Mil.

If It be understood that the profile of the great ditch presents In Its middle port a high summit, from whk-b it slopes gradually toward the sea on either side, with four locks on each slope, the Idea Will be perfectly clear. Now, the canal Is already practically finished and navigable for nearly thir­ teen miles from the Atlantic end and for five and a half miles from the Pa­ cific end. Thus one may start In a boat from Colon, on tbe east side of tho Isthmus, and travel comfortably by water for more than a dozen miles. The next fifteen miles are partly dug. with some de?p cuts, such as 131 feet at Bohio, 82 feet at Snu Pablo and 98 feet at Motachln. At tlie twenty­ eighth mile rises the mountain range, which Is the most serious obstacle to the. undertaking. Advantage Is taken, however, of a ronvenleot pass, as atave explained, and nijich of the remaining difficulty has already been removed by cuts, one of which has taken out a long-slice of rock Hr* feet In depth. At the thirtythird mile tbe slope toward the Pacific logins, and for the rest of the way the canal Is not very far from comple­ tion.

A revolver was grasped in the left hand and a bullet wound on the jaw marked the point where the leaden missile started on its errand of death. ♦ .

Later in the day bis cariosity got the better of hl* earlier unconcern and he returned to the field.

Give name and address of bishop or head man. As you affirm that preachers preach for money and dare not preach the truth, tell us which one of Nashville’s preachers you mean it as you say you do not preach for money, why have you taken so man y collections since your meetings commenced? Did you tell the congre­ gation last Sunday night that you wanted a hundred dollars? If there is no selfishness or spiritual pride .in your heart, why do you urge church members and Sunday school scholars to leave their own work and attend your meetings? In making your announce­ ments for Sunday, why do you never urge people to go and hear their own pastors and attend their own Sunday sch- ol? In fact, aren’t you so selfish that you want everybody to drop everything and run after you? Why do you affirm that the churches are corrupt and th«*n use a church gratis that has been built at a great expense? What are you a going U> do with your converts? Will you organize them in­ to a church, or leave them to go back into the slough of despond (the church j from which you have redeemed, them?

SECRET DRIV ES TO SUICIDE. Lieut. John A. Morris, U. 8. N., was found dead in his stateroom on the Unit­ ed States ship' Olympia by a fellow offi­ cer. He had committed suicide by shootiug with a revolver. The Olympia is an­ chored off the Boston navy yard. He was the engineering officer of the. Olym­ pia. No cause is known for his act. Mor­ ris ha* had a weight of some kind on his mind ever since the blowing up of the Malice at Havana. Morris was an elec­ trician on the Maine, with the rank of assistant engineer. When he visited Kansas City after his providential escape at Havana he was very averse to talking about the matter, but his friends gathered the impression that he knew the cause of tbe explosion and that it was not due to Spanish mines or torpedoes. They a growing sentiment, among Republicans have always believed, from Morris’ ac­ that I do not truly represent their views count, that the explosion was due to de­ on tbe tariff question. fective electric wiring on the Maine.

Corn exports aggregate 91,512 bushels, against 21.106 last week, 777.­ 831 last year and 2.402.780 in 1000. For the fiscal year exports art? 931,331 bush­ els. against 11.521,576 last season and 37,057,036 in 1000. In the world of commerce, attention is being directed ___________ I towards the Northwest, where the extremely light movement of spring wheat to market has come to. be a consideration of great importance. It is not that the movement has been lighter than for the past five weeks, but that this fact continuously passed over as a condition only temporary and due to give way on the first several successive days of good weather, has been viewed mom seriously now that it is the middle of September and there is as yet no satis­ factory increase. In the mammoth Minneapolis elevators, with capacity for carrying 35.000.iXX) bushels, there is to-day 1.318.G63 bushels of wheat. Tbe millers are still taking everything in the grade wheat that comes in. and elevator men have found no sur­ plus with which to fill their houses. That wheat will come in very soon in larger quantity is the expectation. The government weekly report was fa­ vorable. Frosts have occasioned some alann and a little of a scare worked into the speculative markets in cereals, but everything still standing is so close to maturity that it is doubtfnl if any*Jamage serious enough to change tbe supply out­ look materially, is possible at this late date.

Wiliiain It. Day. ex-Secretary of .State during McKinley's first term, and a Hfelong friend of the iledd President, before a congregation in the First Methodist Episcopal Church, of which President McKinley was an active member, deliver­ ed an address eulogising the life and ser­ vices of the late President. Tbe pro­ gram. which was simple, consisted of in­ troductory services by the pastor, the Rov. Oliver Wendell Holmes, and the •inging of tbe favorite hymns of the late President, after which Judge Day deliv­ ered the principal addreift. Special me­ morial services were held in nil churches of the city, a special mans being said in the Catholic churches, the priests, who had. known McKinley personally, paying tribute to his memory during the exer­ cises. Mrs. McKinley, accompanied by Mrs. Garret A. Hobart, widow of the late Vice­ President Hobart, and her son. Garret A., visited the tomb of McKinley at West Lawn cemetery and placed fresh flowers and a wreath on the Casket. Many other flowers and wreaths were sent to the cem­ etery, and a greatly increased number of visitors went out to visit the tomb. At Buffalo the anniversary of the death cf William McKinley was universally ob­ served. The pashm in all the churches paid tribute to the memory of the late President. In the afternoon a public xfiecting was held in the city convention hall. The auditorium was crowded and hundreds were turned away. Mayor Erastus C. Knight presided and deliv­ ered an address. Addresses were made by the Rev. E. C. Locke, Tracey C. Becker and Anselm J. Smith. “Nearer, My God. to Thee" and •‘America" were sung by the audience-and the services ended with Mendelssohn's funeral malch by the orchestra. Monday memorial ser­ vices were held in all tne public schools. Appropriate services commemorating the first anniversary of President Mc­ Kinley’s death were held in all the Wash­ ington churches, and large congregations were in attendance at fhe Metropolitan Luther -w’. -Sheag,! recently district agent of the Northweatem Mutual Life Insurance Company, and wanted for al­ leged forgeries and debts amounting to 550,000, surrendered to the sheriff at Muskegon. Shear, who disappeared on June 11, was a prominent chiirehman and society leader. Whdn he appeared at the county jail the other day be said to Sher­ iff Payne: "I came by myself-to save you the ?250 reward. I am tired ofi wander­ ing about the land, a fugitive from jus­ tice." Shear will say little of his wan­ derings. The most of hia lime was sper.t in New York City. Shear was arraigned before Judge Sullivan In the police court. He waived examination and was bound over to the Circuit Court in tbffsum of 510,0U0. He says he will plena guilty. He shows the strain and suffering through which he passed during the last three months. The jail is being liexieged with the victims of his alleged forgeries. St. Joe Habit la Waning. Chicago thronged scores of churches in which anniversary memorial services were held. At the First Methodist Church were union services. One of the most notable features was the address there by Rev. Mr. Milburn, brother of John’ G_ Milburn, at whose house in Buffalo President McKinley was a guest when he was shot and where he passed away. In the First Methodisf*Chureh every seat was occupied and all the aisles were filled. Rev. J. P. Brushingham, the pastor of the church, had charge of the services. "Nearer. My God, to Thee," was the first hymn. Dr. S. U. Upham of Madison, N. J., led in prayer. As he prayed for ths. sorrowing widow at Qanton, awaiting the close of her lonely Hfe, hundreds of eyes were filled with tears. Carl Young and Miss Nellie Brushing­ ham sang "Lead, Kindly LipAt." one of president McKinley's favorite hymns. As the first words, “Lead, kindly light, amid tbe encircling doom," readied the audi­ ence many put handkerchiefs to lashes that were not dry. For a moment a year slipped from them. It was again the star­ light night of a year before. They were standing before the bulletin board await­ ing the last report. And so vivid was it that it seemed rtint it was the dead Presi­ dent’s voice which sang “The night is dark and I am far from home. Lead thou me on." Dr. W. A. Waiterman, who was a member of President McKin­ ley’s regiment in the Civil War: Dr. Wil-­ Ham Lawrence and Bishop Fallows were among the prominent speakers. Never once was Czolgosz's name- heard. Pursuant to a proclamation issued by the Governor of I’cnr-sylvania. the anni­ versary of the death of President McKin­ ley was observed by special services in the churches of all denominations in the State. Many clergymen took’ for texts the life and death of the late President. "Nearer. My God. to Thee" and "Lead, Kindly Light.” President McKinley's fa- FRANCIS KOSSUTH, SON OF THE HUNGARIAN PATRIOT. Chicago is getting over the "St. Joe habit." The marriage business which has for several seasons given the Michigan town fame as a "Gretna Green" has this season slumped distinctly and there are indications that the year will end with a decrease of at least 20u in tbe license rec­ ord of‘the marriage Mecca. Steamboat managers regretfully admit that this sea­ son has seen fewer hurried departures on morning excursion steamers, fewer anx­ ious parents on the wharyes at night and less fun for the boats' crews than any of late years. County Clerk Church keeps the same number of office assistants and the same number of ministers and jus­ tices are within call as of yore, hut the good old days are past. A large number of persons were married nt Nt. .Ice this year, but there is no longer the same spirit to the romances. The fad is wear­ ing out. Accqscd Woman Set Free.

Before his death hi1 made a statement exonerating her from nil blame and also deeded her his property.

Francis Kossuth, who ennje to Chicago to be present at the ud,veiling of tbe Kos­ suth monument, is the son of the great Hungarian patriot and revolutionist in whose honor the Chicago statue has been raised. The younger Kossuth has been deeply touched by the sympathy for his illustrious father that has alwayi existed in America, and In a recent interview at Budapest bc’took occasion to give full ex­ pression to bls feelings dpon this head. Francis Kossuth is one of the most influ­ ential and patriotic of the political lead­ ers in Hungary at the present time. lie was formerly a bridge engineer, but desertixl that profession to enter politics at the request of the leaders of the in­ ROUTE FOR PROPOSED HIGHWAY CONNECTING CHICAGO AND NEW YORK CITY. ■ The dedication of the new court house at Ithaca was a grand kuccom, surpitMing in numbers tbe expectation of thfc ar­ rangement committee.

Woman’s Scream *nd Cry of Fire Stam­ pede Convention of N**r* Baptist* with Horrible Con**qa«ace»—Known Dead 78, and 1OO More Are info red. In a wild panic cansed by a belief the building was on fire eighty person*, many from distant points, were killed by * stampede in' the Shiloh Negro Baptist Church in Birmingham. Ala., at the dose of an address mode by Booker T. Wash­ ington to the national convention of Bap­ tists. which was there in semion. Nearly 1W persons were injured, and it was three hour* before all tbe wounded could be attended to and the dead taken to un­ dertaking establishments. j The ambulance service of the city was utterly incapable of moving the Injured without great delays, which in many case* proved fatal. Dozens of dead bodies were arranged in row* on the ground outaide the church, while more than a score were laid out on the benche* inside. ' The church i* the largest honse of wor­ ship for negroes in the city, nnd there were orer 2,000 person* in the edifice when the stampede began. Instructions had been issued to allow no more to enter, but the negroes forced their way inside the building and were- standing in every aisle: oven the entrance to the church was literally packed. Mistake ••FJ<ht" for "Fire.” . Just a* Booker T, Washington conclud­ ed his address Judge Ballou, n negro law­ yer from Baltimore, engaged in an alter­ cation with another delegate, nnd it 'is •aid a blow wn* struck. Someone in the choir cried "Fight! Fight!" Mistaking the word "fight” for “fire," the congregation rose in a l>ody nnd start­ ed for tbe door. One of the ministers quickly mounted the rostrum nnd admon­ ished the {ke^plo to keep quiet. ’ He repeated the word "quiet" 'several time* and motioned to his hearer* to be seated, but tin- excited congregation mis­ took the word "quiet” for “fire," and with redoubled exertions renewed the struggle to reach the door. Men nnd women crawled over benches and fought their wny into the aisles, ami those who had fallen were trampled upon like cattle. The minister* tried again and again to stop tbe stampede, but no pojvrr on earth could stay the struggling, fighting mnsHof humanity. The aereauA of women nnd children added to the horror of the scene, nnd through mere fright ninny |H-r*»n» faintiwl and us they fell to the floor were crushed to death. Entrance a Death Trap. The level of the floor is about fifteen f<-vt from the ground am! long steps lend to the sidewalk from the lobby just out­ side the main auditorium. Brick wall* extend on each aide of these nteps for six or seven fort, nnd this proved a verit­ able death trap. Negroe%who had reached the top of the Steps were pushed violently forward nnd many fell. Before they could move oth­ ers fell upon them, and in fifteen minute* there was a struggling, shrieking mass cf ineu and women and children piled to a height of ten feet. This wall of torture blocked the entrance and the weight of the 1.500 peraqn* remaining in the church wn* rammed ngainst it. More than twen­ ty person* lying on the step* underneath the heap of bodies died from suffocation. Two white men who were in the rear of the church when the rush began es­ caped. and, realizing the Mriousnesa of the situation, rushed to a corner near by and tumisl in a fire nlnnn. The depart­ ment came quickly nnd tbe arrival of the wagon* served to scatter the crowd which had gathered around the front of the church. A squad of police wns also hast­ ened to the church, nnd with the firemen finally succeeded in releasing the negroes from their pinioned positions in the en­ trance. During the stampede Booker T. Wash­ ington nnd several other prominent ne­ groes were on tlie stage and were rnwilhng witnesses to tbe frightful catas­ trophe. None of those iu tbe choir or in the pulpit were jpjured id the least. BELGIANS*"qUEEN DIES.

Knickerbocker is a blacksmith ( an expert cutler we might belter say 1 for, from knives sniped from the meal outfits, he managed to make saws with which the Inch iron bars were sawed off very neatly. These knives he tem­ pered with the skill of an Edjson, thus giving evidence that he might succeed in legitimate business. About-twenty pounds of Iron were found in the Jail, »piece of gas pipe three*feet long with the rest. This was thickly wrapped with cloth at one end and was intend cd as a battering rain with which to • priDgout tbeiron rods, threpof which had been sawed off at one end. For nearly a week Sheriff Shepard had been suspicious of something wrong and for two or three nights had watched until the prisoners were locked up Knickerbocker claims the sawing was lone by a Chicago tourist, who left .he jail two weeks ago, but admtfa that ie made the saws.

In spite of ter bravery and decision, had begun to otter a low, hysterical sob from time to time and hang more heavily upon her ■companions* arms, look courage at the thought of the safety the sea offered, pud g>resi»cd sturdily forward for another few hundred yards and then stopped short. “What is it, darlin’F whispered Din­ ay, “Voice*!” she replied softly. "Yes; our own,” said Dinny. “There ■can’t be anny others here." “I am sure I heard talking," said Hum­ phrey; but ail was still now; and feeling satisfied atjayt that it was the murmur ■of the waves, they crept on ra Uttar si­ lence. and were about to leave the shel­ ter of the paths by which they had come •nd for the open sand when pinny check­ ed his companions, and they nil stood listening, lor a voice that wm familiar •aid: "The skipper’s full of fancies.

What prisoners?" tb.onght Humphrey. “You hold yohr tongue!" growled the familiar voice of Bart. “Do you want to scare them off?" "Scare whom off?" •“Those who try to escape. Silence!" Mistress Greenheys reeled up against Humphrey and would hare fallen but for his strong arm, which encircled her. Dinny did not speak till they had reach­ ed the shelter of some trees. “Ixxdc at that, now!" he whispered out •of the black darkness. “Have, ye got •the darling safe?" “Yes. safe enough; but what docs thia •mean?” , “Mane, sor? Sure, and it’s Bart yan•der wid two min." “Take us down to tbe sea by some othc er path." "Shure. an’ don’t I tell ye there is no other path, sor? It’s the only way. Murthet^ look at that!" For at that moment a light flashed out --and shimmered ca the sea. sunk, rose, and became brilliant, shining forth so that they could see the three men down upon the shore had lighted a pile of some inflammable material, beyond which, floating easily upon the surface of tbe •ea and apparently close' inshore, wag a 'boat—the /boat that was to bear them -safely away. They were sheltered by the trees, and besides, too far off to be seen by the men, whose acts, however, were plain enough •to them, as one of them was seen to wade •out to the boat, get holt! of her mooring •rope, and drag her ashore. • “'Phe murthcrin’ villainsF’ muttered Dinny. "They’ve takin’ out the xhtorcs. Dook nt that now! There’s the bar’l o’ wathcr and the bishkit, and now there’s the sail. What'll I do Intoirely? My heart’s bruk wid’ rm." “Hush, my lad! You’ll be heard," whis­ kered Humphrey. . He gave an angry stamp, for In h* agony of dread Mistress Greenheys gave herself a wrest from his arm, and hur­ ried back. “What’s that?’ whispered Dinny. "Mistress Gre«ti*«y*/L ‘ "What? Gone back, sir? Whisht, Marlin’. Stop!" If the woman heard his words they only added to hor alarm, for she hurried on. apparently as well acquainted with the way back as Dinny, who immcdlately •tarted in pursuit. "What are you going to do?’ whispered Humphrey. “Do, sor? Go afther her." “No, no; we must escape now we've .•get so tar." “Shure an’ we will, sor; but to go for■ward’s to go into prison for you and to be •dancing on nothing for me. Come on. *or.

They hurried back in pursuit of their •companion, but fear had made her fleet •of foot, and in spite of their efforts they did not overtake her. “She'll have gone back to her qnar•<hers,” said Dinny, dismally. "Shall we .go back to ours?" “NoF cried Humphrey, imperiously. “Good heavens, nfltn! our absence has •been found out before now. Let’s take to tbe woods or hide in one of the ruins •till we can get sway.” “Sure an* ye’re roight, aor.

'Whispered Humphrey, just at daybreak, .aa Dinny began to take advantage of tbe coming light to seek a safe place of con-cealment. “What for, sor? To get buried in three* that don’t an much as grow cab■tMtge, where there’s no. wither and no company bat monkeys and the ahpotted -tigers? Lave it to me, sor. and I*u tak’ ye to a place where ye can Lay shaug iff .biding, and where may be I can get -apsche of the darling as dhe bastes freck4*ed away.” . "Where shall you g», then? Why not to that old temple where Mazzxrd made his attempt to kill the captain?" "There, sor! Why, the captain would find u« directly. You lave It to me. Humphrey would have taken to the for­ est without hesitation, but, worn <mt and suffering keenly from disappoint­ ment, he was in no humor to oppose, and. signifying his willingness, he followed the Irishman, by devious ways In and out of the ruins for some time, till Dinny crouched down, and morioued to Hum­ phrey to do the same. S The place was In such a chaos and so changed by the terrific force of the ex­ plosion that Humphrey had felt as if he were journeying along quite a new por­ tion of the forest outskirts, till, ns he obeyed his companion and they crouched down among some dense herbage, he stared with astonishment at the sight before him, a couple of hundred yards awgy. For there, beyond one of the pile* of crumbling ruins, was a perfectly familiar pathway, out of which he saw step Into tbe broad sunshine the picturesque fig­ ure of the buccaneer captain, who strode toward a group of waiting men. A dlscusalon seemed to take place, there were some sharp orders, and then the whole party disappeared. “Why, Dinny, man, are you mad?’ whispered Humphrey. "I trusted to you to take me to some place of hiding, and you’ve brought me right into the lion‘s den." “WMl, aor. and a mighty purty place, too, so long as the lion's not at home. Sure and ye just saw him go out." “But, Dinny----- ” "Whisht! Don’t spake • so loud, sor. Sure, now, if a cannon ball made a hole in the side of a ship, isn’t that the safest place to put your head so as npt to be hurt. They nicer hit the same place twice." • “Then your hiding place is ?y old lodg­ ing—my prison?" "Av coorae it is! The stepper has been there to mak’ sure that ye are really gone; and now he knows, he'll say to him­ self that this is the last place ye’d go and hide in: and troth, ho’a quite roight, isn't he?" Humphrey hesitated for a few mo­ ments, .jtnd then, feeling how’ true the man's words were, he gave way. "Sure, sor, and it's all roight," whis­ pered Dinny. "Ar’n’t I thrying to keep my head out of a nocA>, and d’ye think I'd be for coming here if it wasn’t the safest place? Come along: sure, it's a lion’s den. as ye call it. and the best spot I know." He whispered to Humphrey to follow cautiously, and crept on all-fours among the dense growth, and in and out among the loose stones nt the very edge of tbe forest, till the tunnel-llke pathway was reached in safety, when, after crawling a few yards out of the blinding sunshine into tbe shadowy gloom, Dinny rose to his feet. "There, sor," he said, "we can walk like Christians now, and not like animal bastes." There was an ample supply of food in the place for a week, and water. Dinny’s ideas respecting their safety seemed to be quite correct, for though voices were heard at a distance, no one approached the place. .They had the hidden subter­ ranean tomb-like chamber into which they could retreat;, and on the second night, while Dinny was watching and Humphrey, utterly worn out, was sleep­ ing feverishly and trying' to forget the troubles and disappointments of his fail­ ure. there was a faint rustling noise heard, and directly after his name was whispered softly from above. "Murther!" cried Dinny, unable to con­ tain himself as he sprang up. His exclamation and the noise he made brought Humphrey from his couch, alert, and ready for any struggle. "What Is it?' he said. “Dinny!" came iu a voice from above. “Mistress Greenheys!" cried Hum­ phrey. "You there?,' "Yes. I came to try nud learn tidings of you. I did not know you were loth prisoners." "Sure an’ we’re not. dartin'," said Dinnl. “We only tuk fefuge here, so as to be near you. An’ where have you been?' “I crept back to my place,” -said the woman, “and reached it without having been missed.” "Then ye’re quite free to come and go?" “Yes—quite." “Erin-go-braghF .cried Dinny, excited­ ly. "Then what ye’ve got to do, darling, is to go back and come agen as soon ak ye can wid something to ate, for we shall soon be starved." "Yea, Dinny: I’ll come again to-night." The night had not passed before the faithful littft woman was back again with such provisions as she could bring and lower down to them. This went on for two nights, during which time they had no alarm. Not a soul beside approached the place: and the same report was brought them that their hiding place baffled all, but the captain was fiercely determined that the prison­ ers should be found. "Then why not try to escape inland, Dinny?’ said Humphrey, at last “Surely, it cannot be impossible.” “Haven’t we all thried it again and again wid the captaiu, aor?" said Dinny, in remonstrance. “He set us all to work so as to make sure that we couldn't be attacked from the land, aud ye can’t get in a mile annywhere, for thick forest worked fogeaer .like a powerful big hur­ dle that’s .all solid, and beyant that's monntains. Sure, and ye can't get that way at ail wide lit an army of wood cut­ ters, and a life a hundred years Hng!" A week went by, food was wanting, the prisoners were io despair, and they had both crept out again nod again to the end of the corridor, and listened to try and make out something; but all out­ side »M solemnly still, and the plaev might have been once more the abode of death, had not a eouple of sentries al­ ways b'fn visible keeping watch, so that it was impossible to stir. Dinny went ts the window opening and leaned there, while Humphrey seat­ ed himself upon the edge of the couch to watch tbe opening above his bead, in expectation that Mistress Greenheys might arrive and pot as end to the ter­ rific suspense as to her silence.

Ward Winchell's report on the rec-ent oil fuel test trip of the Mariposa indicates important advantages over coal fuel, ns follows: Reduction of engine room force from 36 to 20 men; a savingof 50 per cent in weight of fuel carried;, a reduction in number of furnaces used, and the small amount of refuse, two ash. bucketfuls being the entire amount after a run of 3,438 miles. dnstrial progress of Mexico under Gen. Diaz has been remarkable, as compared with the advancement of the other Latin countries of America. He is now in his seventy-third year, but is said to possem wonderful physical strength, a wrist like iron and also a will like iron. His Itst notable public appearance was thnt made at the celebration of Mexican indepen­ dence in 1894. on which occasion an at­ tempt was wade-to assassinate him. His would-be murderer, however,' was never brought to trial. He was torn from jail by an infuriated mob and lynched. Acting Judge Advocate General Hanna 1ms sustained the contention made ly Lieut. A. J. O'Leary that officers.of the same grade when commissioned on the same date rank according to previous ser­ vice. and not according to standing at ex­ amination. This ruling will involve a re­ adjustment of all marine officers appoint­ ed since the Spanish war. The receipts of the government for Angust exceeded the disbursements by $6.­ 000.000. nearly wiping out the deficit of $7J>00.000 for July. An unexpected in­ crease in customs duties is the eanse. mon- than offsetting the loss on internal revenue caused by the repeal of the war tax. Treasury officials are surprised at the showing.

The flowers are yellow and tbe leaves soft, somewhat resembling those of rape, cabbage, turnips, de.; In fact mustard belongs to the same family of plants as those named. It Is one of the most serious of all the weed pests. This is due to the fact that it ripens its seed before most of the cereals, so that the ground is again seeded down for an­ other year.

It ta because of thta chracterlstic that It 1s specially Important to- prevent wild muntnrd from seeding. In fields where the plants are few In number the labor expended by way of pulling them up by root ■would be most profitable. Where it ta not practical to pull out mustard, owing to the large amount present, It may be advisable to make, the cereal crop Into hay rather than al­ low it to ripen. If some such plan ns thta Is not adopted where fields are bad­ ly Infested with mustard it may be nec- <asary In tbe near future to allow the • land to lie Idle and adopt tbe summer fallow system In order to get rid of the pest This would be an Instance where an ounce* of remedy would be worth many pounds of cure.—Iowa Home­ stead. Table for Handling Grape*. I have seen large, heavy tables for thta work in many grapebouses. upon ■which the grapes were emptied from ■the trays to be ported, trimmed and packed Into baskets. I do not favor this method of treating grapes. I think tbe less they are handled the better. ■ The packing table shown makes It pos­ sible to take the grapra out of the tray •tern by stem as wanted by the packer and thus avoid the emptying out of the grapes. The table ta so constructed that- a tray fits into it tipped up suffi- j I'RAPK BACKING TABLE. dentiy to make It convenient to take the clusters from It. In tbe Illustra­ tion half of tlie tray Is cut nway In order that the construction of the table may appear more plainly.

Grenier, to Farm and Fire­ side. Tbe farmer who sows clover and finds In the spring that It was winter killed ■considers that he has lost time, labor and tbe value of thf'aeed. This is not so, for the growth tbe clover makes dur­ ing the late summer and fnll lots added -enough fertility to the soil to materially assist in paying for tbe time and labor ecL As a matter of fact, there not to be much tabor spent In seeding the clover beyond the work of putting in the seed, particularly If the •work is done at the last cultivation of the corn Under almost any weather ■conditions, except severe and prolonged •drouth, it may be considered wise to red, at the last cultivation of the corn. If it goes through tbe wintar, one adds Evaporated or Dried Potatoes. "Dried potatoes" is the name of a new product evolved by the South Car­ olina Agricultural Experiment Station. The potatoes nre trailed, peeled and evnirarated In a cannery, nnd will re­ main in perfect condition for years. The preserved potato becomes fit for eating after traipg soaked In warm water for an hour. Like many other new ideas, this promises to be a big thing, aud Its development may have a great effect on the vast potato fields of northern Maine, it ta reported that nn acre of potatoes yielded 357 bushels. which made 105 bushels of the dried product, nearly a pound to pounds of the raw product. Although tbe report we have does not say anything about It, probably the sweet potatoes can be subjected to the same process.—American Cultivator. Cutting Up a Hog.

By taking It down iu pieces In this manner I can handle a heavy hog myself.—E. Esterley, in Farm and Home. An exchange tells of an experiment In plowing by steam near Iranawa Junction. Tbe «e!d was nbfiut eighty rods long, containing a little over thirty taeves. The engine wna attached to a four-gang plow, which turned furrows about sixteen Inches wide and seven Inches deep, and It laid them over very even and smoothly. It took just seven minutes to moke the trip of eighty rods, with oue short stop. Tbe outfit ta claimed to turn over an acre in an hour, and uses one hundred pounds of soft coal to tbe acre.—Exchange. If you do not have enough manure for a large field use It on a small plot nnd endeavor to make as much as pos­ sible by concentrating the manure and work to a limited area.

A suit was started in'the Circuit Court at Ht. Joseph against the rHlnge of Eau Claire nnd the village treasurer by a dozen taxpayers ot that village, in which they ask the courts to dedare the taxes ajireaU this summer by the village board to be null and voidd. A bill of injunc­ tion was also asked forbidding any ac­ tion to collect taxes by law until lhe*sult was settled. Judge Coolidge issued a temporary Injunction. .This suit grows out of an effort of the village council to purchase fire apparatus at a cost of $<S00. Two years ago the Tillage suffered a .$15,000 fire because of no fire depart­ ment. The statement is authorized by Dr. W. H. Chivers, who is an Intimate friend and the physician of Her. J. F.

Other buildings, prin­ cipally saloons, are reported to have been marked for destruction by the jrarson ot persons for whom Wcrmw- acted, and it it raid that the price for the work had been agreed upon. Edward Hovey, a well-known farmer living near Talbot, owes his life to a strong suspender buckle. He was out digging potatoes when he was struck by a bullet from the grin of some hunter.

The Boston Advertiser says that Can: ada and certain European nations have entered into a big tariff league to destroy American trade. A special dispatch from Ottawa says: “A statement can be made positively to-night on the best possible authority that Sir Wilfrid Laurier has made definite arrangements with France and Italy looking toward a special tariff arrangement which‘will take the place of the treaties which Canada, France and Italy tried ts> arrange with the United States on a ‘reciprocity’ basis. It can be stated by authority that the Canadian government, discouraged by the refusal of the United States Senate, committee on foreign affairs to even consider the idea of a reciprocity treaty between the United States and Canada, has made up its mind to adopt a now policy.” Rear Admiral James E. Jonett died at hi* home, The Anchorage, Silver Springs. Md. He was TO year* of age and had a long and distinguished career.

Hl* bril­ liant career opened on the night of Nov. 17, 1861, when, as lieutenant of the San­ tee. he conducted * hazardous boat ex­ pedition against the Confederate warship Royal Yacht, resulting in its capture. For this action Jouett received the great­ est pntilse.' He wns given command of the Montgomery and became the terror of blockade runners, capturing scores of valuable vessels. His heroism at Mobile Bay was moat conspicuous; his capture of the Confederate gunboat Selma, while commanding the Metacomet won Farra­ gut’s highest commendation and. secured another promotion, with a recommetdatlon that he be promoted thirty numbers fa grade. He retired as rear admiral in • 1890 and made* bls home fa Washing­ ton. , PARBOILED IN A STEAM WELL. One Child Dead, Another Badly Scalded by a Peculiar Accident.

Kx-Queen Becretly Marries Escosuro. Her Master of Horse. A dispatch from Madrid, tells of a grave scandal in tho roynl family.

Deep Plowing. We used to believe in what we read when young about the value of plow­ ing deep to bring up the fertility that had leached down through the surface snii Into the subsoil. Our opinion was changed when we tested the deep plow­ Ing upon a field with a clay subsoil that we planted with corn. Later ex­ periinent* have more thoroughly con­ vinced us that deep plowing, by which wc-mean a depth of more than four to six inches; is seldom beneficial In this climate. whatever It may be in other sections of the country. The crops like corn, that like to spread their roots jmagthe surface where the soil is warmedby the sun. certainly do not need to have the earth stirred very deeply for them, while those that send their roots down Into the subsoil, as onions, clover l>eets. etc., can do so almost through the hardest subsoil vr anything except­ ing a gravel 1n which there is no mois­ ture.—Cultivator. ••Blue Milk.” What Is known ns “blue milk” may be epidemic In a herd or-confined to a single cow. It is probably from some unknown source of 111th and may be checked by attention to cleanliness and careful washing of the cow’s teats with a little weak acetic acid solution. Such milk has been fed to animals that ate It readily and without harm. Farm Notes. Abundant foliage assists in protecting fruit on trees nnd vines. Fruit ripens earlier on trees where the leaves have not been killed, and. as leaves take carbonic acid from the air and give off oxygen, they serve to purify the air while deriving food therefrom. Roots are superior to ensilage as win­ ter food for stock, but the cost of en­ silage Is much less than roots. A crap of carrots will be found one of the best foods that can be grown on the farm, but the work of growing the carrots Is the great drawback. Ensilage, on the contrary, can I»e always reMed upon ns something sure, ns the corn may be cut at any stage of growth should necessity so demand. Good silage that has t»een well and closely packed In the silo Is estimated to weigh al>out twenty pounds or more per cubic foot, and forty pounds Is about the ration allowed each cow for one day. A silo ten feet deep and ten feet square will consequently hold enough ensilage, to supply two or more cows over four months.. Such a site Is n small one, but the estimate shows what a Urge proportion of food can be stored away for winter In a small place by the use of ensilag*.

The Weather Man Seems to nave Remembered The Semi-Centennial Celebration of the BARRY COUNTY FAIR and lias Promised Some Good Weather. The officials of the Fair have secured some splendid at Factions, and have promised to give all who attend more than their money’s worth. There isn’t room in this space to name all the attractions, but the management promises that the Fair this year will be fully up to the stand­ ard of the past two years. No man ought to expect more. t The Fair is for the people of Barry county. It is their Fair. The officers have done all in their power to make it a success, and the people of Barry county should show their appreciation by patronizing their own Fair, which will be the equal of any—fine racing, excellent music, splendid flinoinosinging hv by ona one nf of the best ouartettes quartettes in the country, and many special attractions. The Grand Stand has been enlarged to make room for all. COML TO THE BARRY COUNTY FAIR, October 7, 8, 9, IO and 11 Constipation Does your head ache ? Pain back of your eyes? Bad taste in your mouth?

Most of tbe acaidents occurred in tbe neigh­ borhood of Chamounlx nnd were due to the foolhardiness and Inexperience of tourist*. Tbe number of Occident* suf­ fered by experienced'climbers was com­ paratively small. Switzerland and the Tyrol are becom­ ing the holiday ground for more and more people every j’ear, and It may be expected the lives lost will be In the same proponion. The Increased num­ ber of accidents- Is therefore exactly what might have been expected. When one tourist attempted to scale-a rocky mountain side or a glacier t.en year* ,,ago .there are twenty or perhaps fifty nowadays with the delusion that any­ body with an alpenstock and a pair of hobnailed boots can do cither, and. what la worse, ruost of. them are so. contident of their own ability that they will not take the precaution*’!© employ a competent guide. Nothing attests tbe nerve and tbe courage and endurance of a man as does mountain climbing, and it Is quite as much of a science as any other form of athletic sport. Experienced’ men can tell at-a glance tbe safest and tbe most accessible path* and where and between what hours there will be the lenst risk of falling stones. Swiss guides who have been taken to the Amies and to the Himalayas and even to our own American '^nountalns have never failed to accomplish ascents which men without experience have considered Impossible.. It Is simply a matter of ability acquired by long and patient study, yet any ordinary tourist Imagines that because one man can ac­ complish the feat another may do the same even If be has never seen a glacier. The greatest number of acci­ dent* occur upon Mont Blanc, beepuse that I* the easiest to reach and most fashionable of all the Swiss mountains, but at tbe same time It Is tbe most dan­ gerous because of meteorological con­ ditions. The weather Is likely to change at any time, and when a snowstorm comes tho danger is greatest. While a party of American tourists were descending the Matterhorn some time ago u mass of rock fell ami burled several of the party down an Ice gorge, killing them Instantly.

CROPS. | Corn in Shocks Damaged by Dampness • and Mold Over a Wide Area. The weekly crop report issued by the weather bureau says as a whole the week wns very wet in the districts east of the Rocky Monntnins, with temperatures generally above normal, except over the middle Rocky Mountain slope. whJfce it was moderately cool. While the exces­ sive rains interrupted farm work nud delayed the maturing of late crops, they proved favorable for germination of fall­ sown grain and placed the soil in fine condition for plowing nnd seeding. No damage malted from fronts, which w.-rc confined to the central and northern Rocky Mountain districts on the Pacific coast regions. The general .conditions on the Pacific coast were favorable, al­ though rain is needed in eastern Oregon. The weather has been unfavorable for maturing late born iu the central valleys ■nd lake ragion, especially over the north­ ern portion of these districts, and the re­ ports indicate that corn ’in shock has been considerably damaged by dampness ■nd mold over a wide area and that*much of the crop in the upper lake region nnd Missouri valley will not be mnrketab’e. Reports of injury from rain to open cot­ ton are very general throughout the belt, with the exception of the Carolinas and portions of Texas, nnd sprouting nnd rot­ ting in bolls are largely reported, espe­ cially in the central districts.

The terms include payment by tbe government of $730,000 annually, the company to buKd two large, fast steamers for tbe Atlantic trade.

It is not mere sympathy for the miners or the sense of justice which prompts this appeal It is a movement inspired by the instinct of self-preservation. Similar expressions of popular feeling are to be noted throughout the country. The termination of an intolerable situation Is becoming necessary to the people of the country if they are not to be thrust into conditions insupport­ able in a modern and civilized nation. The favorable replies received by the Mayor of Detroit, like the active efforts already undertaken by various public organizations elsewhere, ara proof that this nation is inhabited by reasoning human being- and not by cephalopods merely. Not being prapared to curl up nnd die of cold, they are getting ready to settle the great coal strike. It is quite time to bring the warring interests to their semu-H. Coal must be mined, and if the mine operators cannot operate them the government should do it. The coal mine ojicrators will not or cannot understand the depth of pub­ lie sentiment in this matter. Their attitude continues to be the attitude of defianre—defiance of the public ns well as of the miners. One of them, in nn interview said that the conditions in the anthracite fields were those of anarchy and that the operators should have more troops. “Then," he *«id, “we will give you all the coal you want. Mr. Mitchell’s organisation will not be recognized under any. circumstance*." If the conditions in the coal . fields are those of anarchy the public is l>eginniug to ask who is Oraponsibie for the anarchy nnd just at present it is not disposed to lay that resisinsibility upon tbe miners, who from the first have sought peaceful means to settle their grievances. There is n growing Impression among men of sub­ stance and cool judgment—among lending men in politics, bnsine** nnd the learned professions—-that the combination which now stands between the publie and a necessity of life, bluntly refusing to consider nil conciliatory measures and declaring in the face of human and moral right that the public shall hav no coal nnlerai the strike is settled its way, ia in Itself anarchy.

Without a dissenting voice it was de­ cided at a meeting held in the Detroit. Council chamber to call u national con­ vention haring as its aim the opening, of the mines throughout the anthracite coal •region* of Pennsylvania and Wests Virginia. Strong resolutions were adopt­ ed calling for the ending of the coal ■trike. It was the first practical step in wh^t is confidently predicted will furnish a solution of tbe difficulties at present: existing. In addition to the adoption of the reso­ lutions telegrams were sent to the Gov­ ernors of a scurv of States asking then* to appoint delegates to the convention* which it is proposed to hold in Detroit, while similar action wns taken in regard! to the Mayors of all the principal cities* in tbe States mentioned, the representa­ tion being on a basis of twemy from each State and ten from each city. The grav­ ity of the situation wax apparently fully realized by those in authority. Contrary to statements of some deal­ ers that coai wiil remain high all winter] even should the strike be settled, cornea] the announcement from the coal trust: heads in New York Hint the prices mnotl return to the regular October rates a* toon as tbe strike is over and deli-rerieit arc resumed.

On Thurs­ day, it was estimated that 12,000 people were on the grounds; on Friday therti were not quite so many, but the crowd was large enough for convenience. Holding the fair on Saturday is a new experiment; while tbe crowd was fairly large, still the gate receipts Were only about one hundred dallars; this was not as large as was expected. The exhibits compared wellwithotber years with the exception of the hogs, sheep and poultry departments, which were not as large as in other years.

Their conventions passed resolutions dectaring confidence in the national officers and fa favor of keeping up the strike in spite uf the fact that the whole State militia was sent into the coal region. The reply of President Mitchell of the mini? worker* to President Roosevelt re­ jecting the plan to resume work was giv­ en out at tbe White Hou^e Wednesday as follows: Hon. Theodore -Roosevelt, President of the United States. Dear 8lr—Carroll D. Wright has, n* doubt, reported to you tbe delivery of your message to me last Monday and my statement to him that I should take your suggestion under advise­ ment, although 1 did not look upon It with, favor. Since that time 1 have consulted with our District Presi­ dents. who concur fully In n>y views. We desire to assure you ngnln that we feel keenly the responsibility of our position nnd the gravity of the situation, out! It would give us great pleasure to take any action which would bring thia coal strike to au end In a manner that would safe­ guard the Interests of our constitu­ ents. In proposing that there be an Immediate resumption of coal mining upon the conditions we suggested iu the conference nt the White House we believed that we had gone more than halfway nnd had met your wishes. It Is unnecessary In this let­ ter to refer to the malicious assault nqide upon us Iu the resjxniM* of the coal operators. Wc feel confident that you must hare been Impressed with the fairness of our proposition and the Insincerity of tb<w who maligned u*. Having In mind our experience with the coal operators In the past, we have no reason to feel any degree of confidence In their willingness to do us justice In tbe future: and inas­ much as they have refused to acrept the decision of a tribunal selected by you, and InnMnurh as there Is no Jaw through which you could enforce the findings of tbe commlaaton you sug­ gest, we respectfully decline to ad­ vise oar people to return to work sim­ ply upon the hope that the coal ope­ rators mlkht t* Induced or forced to comply with the recommendations of your couimlsalon. As stated above, we believe that we went more than " halfway in nur proposal at Washing­ ton. and wc do not feel that we should be asked 'to make further sac­ rifice. Wc appreciate your solicitude for the people of our country who are now and will be subjected to great suffering aud Inronvenitnce by a prolongation of the dttnl strike, and, we feel that the onus of tbi* terrible state of affairs should lw placed upon the side which has refused to defer to fair and Impartial Investigation. Up to Coagreo*. . A cabinet minister in diaguiuiing ths matter with a .Washington corn-spondent said the President had decitied to carry the situation in the coal fields to Congress regardies^of whether the strike was settled before winter set in. He feels that so long as there is no legisla­ tion to cover such conditions ,tho emmtry Is in great danger of serious Internal trou­ bles and that tills very puMibility is a menace to the peace nnd prosperity of the nation. His message to Congress will urge legislation with a view to pre­ venting future trouble of this kind. With thia idea in mind, it is said, the President bus decided to appoint tlie com­ mission which lie. promised Presi<lent Mitchell be would In the Mich­ year* ago atXonglit the striking miner* inevent.th Pennsylvania ell scut fur thetiivminers back to The workstrug and­ for American free fighting same th tags." that this commission will make study American libit­ gling miners, be said, dom. would win,a and of conditions in the coal aud as­ erty region und American would be oourrw. a yictory more far-reaching sist his direct recommeiidations to Con­ than him onlyinthe interest of strikers gress.

Dealers in many lines are urgent for prompt shipments, culling on jobbers nutLmanufacxurers for goods already- overdue. This Indication of reduced stocks is a good rign and tends to sustain quotations. Western re­ ports are especially favorable and theearly marketing of cotton has brought distinct improvement at tbe South. Vol­ untary advance* in wage* have been nnnouucvd in a number of instances, whitethe labor situation is more satisfactory, although not entirely free. from -Icontro-versy. Transportation facilities have im­ proved ta the coke region, where conges­ tion was becoming;severe, aud railway earnings thus far reported for September exceed last year's by 94 per cent." The foregoing is from the weekly trade review of R. G. Dun & Co. It continues: Pig’iron, furnaces are receiving larger consignments of‘coke, and there is less interruption because of fuel scarcity. The situation is by no means satisfactory, however, and production of Iron nud steel febuld expand considerably if facilities were normal. Much of the relief has come from large imports, the extent of which is not generally appreciated. During August alone pig iron import* were 79,447 tons, and for eight months 257.210 tons, valued nt $4.OT0.<H9. while receipts of steel billets were worth still more. ' Recently the purchases abrpad ' have extended to steel rails and »tructural shapes. Quotation* nre fully sus­ tained on these products, but thn.inequallties of tbe market are shown by decline* in sheets, vwire nails and barb wire, while the tin plates are dull, and efforts nre still being made to retain business abroad by special yage arrangements., It’ is in­ teresting to note that a year ago tin plates were being freely imported because of labor controversies. Bradstreet’s report says: Wheat, including flour, exports for tbe week ending Oct. 2 aggregate G.870.578 bushels, against 5,077,070 last week. 195.­ 749 this week last year and 4,450,187 in 1900. Wheat exports since July 1 ag­ gregate 67,484.713 bushels, against 84.M7.946 Inst season and 47.212.0)7 in 1000. Com exporta aggregate 141.423 bushels, against 74.952 last week, 907.924 Inst year nnd 2,364,249 in 1900. For the fiscal year exports are 1.197.234 bushels, ngaimit 13.626.564 last season and 44.­ 311.861 ta 1900. The country nt large pre­ sents the view of a land filled with prosperity, yet burdened with the same temporary ad­ verse conditions' that have ruled for a time. In the matter of the car scarcity tlie centef of complaint has shifted fur­ ther west, and the loudest cry comes from the cattle shippers. Ab the great expectations of la«t year nre being realized, so there is the promi.«e that predictions for the period to coin* ' will be borne out in full. The Northern Pacific put out its annual, showing gross earning* of $40,008,966, or $4,178,129 over the previous year, and with the pres­ ent volume of business along its lines is heading to break this record in the next showing, and this is true of all north­ western roads. In the wheat market there is now much talk of tlie ^competition of the Manitoba crop. It is probable this will be felt earlier on this crop year than last. The Canadian roads had better facilities for the prompt handling of the crop, which makes it probable that the competit.-ju will be felt more keenly this full than last, nnd not so much perhaps iu the spring. The sooner this comes the better, since this Canadian wheat must be mar­ keted ultimately. So white this factor, the lack of speculative interest, aud dull­ ness in foreign markets may operate in some degree to hold down price* for a time, there- Is no decided change of smut’, moot which in thg North west is favorable to wheat as a long time proposition.

MAKING AN EMBANKMENT TO SAVE A VILLAGE. COMET'S PATH AXD DIBSCTIOX. Perrine's comet has recently been vis­ ible to the naked eye. On Oct. 8, when It was nt its nearest approach to tho earth, it was about 35,000,090 miles from this planet. This >co met Is of special interest be­ cause it was discoveretl by an American. —Prof. Perrine of Lick Observatory— and because it Is one of the few.comets that men have been able to see without the help of a telescope: Astronomers ev­ erywhere have bren watching it since Prof. Perrine discovered it through tha great refracting tefamope st Mount Hamilton, Cat. When he found it it was of the ninth magnitude and was holding on its course near ^he constellation Per­ seus, and also near tho familiar star clus­ ter called the Pleiades. The comet can be seen not far from the constellation Cassiopeia, which is ▼cry close to the pole star. It looks like a Ittminons haze, with scarcely any head or nucleus. It has a short tail, and can­ not be .described ns having any particu­ lar shape. As it resembles nil comets ta the remarkable irregularity of its actions, the astrnfiomcre have not l»een able to predict much about it other than to de­ scribe its path and Io tadicate that it. will reach its perihelion, or its nearest, approach to the sun, about Nov. 23. when it*K'ill be distant from the sun about 37.­ 000,000 miles. The comet is moving so rapidly that the vast distance* it traverses over tbe heavens are npt to confuse the uninitiat­ ed,observer unless he watches closely and looks .carefully for it. Its path lies from the northeast iu n general southwestern direction, which may be fixed by the ob­ servation of certain prominent stars in tbe great.consleltetionB of th«-,porth. By bolding the drawing directly overhead nnd looking nt It as otw would look at the sky the situation of the comet can lie seen. It* path and direction arc in­ dicated by the arrows pointiqg to the southwest. BISHOP POTTER A BENEDICT. Noted Prelate Marries ?Ira. Alfred ‘ Corning Ctnrk.

In Amer­ ica. however, where there has not been need of peat, and where latterly, it Is almost entirely unknown. It must of course be ranked ns n novelty. It will be news to many that peat bogs are worked In New Jersey, where opera­ tion's have been especially active since the scarcity of coni and Its consequent high price. It Is not. ’however, being ns yet cut for market.

Scarcity of Beef nnd Mutton. The setting and fencing of farms In those locations where cattle nnd sheep have been allowed to graze freely upon government land has helped to make an advance In the prices of our meats. The conditions are different from what they were twenty years ngo. yet we thlnlc this may be In part overcome by the fattening of cattle nt an earlier age, nnd by better cultiva­ tion and the Introduction of better grasses on the grazing lands, and bet­ ter feeding and care of stock when they are brought to the stables. In­ stead of requiring, fifty acres to each steer they are now beginning to claim, or the best feeders are. that three acres of grass Is enough for a steer. We have known men In New England who found one acre produce forage for a cow In milk, excepting the grain food which was purchased.

The Fijwt National Bank of Owatonna has had a new draft prepared hearing a four-leaf clover with Owatonna In the center and showing the creameries of the county in their respective dis­ tances from tb-t point There are now twenty-two creameries in S.teele County, nnd their combined output for 1901 was over 3.000.000 pounds. Fruit Tree* for tbe Roadside. As a rule trees to be set along the roadside if beyond the line of the prop­ erty, should be of the ornamental class­ es rather than fruit trees; particularly should this be the case if the farm Is located In a rather thickly populated •ection. If, however, tbe trees are to be set inside tbe fence line on one side of the farm, or even on all sides, cher­ ry trees will be the most ornamental ■nd probably yield ns good «n Income ps any other clasa. If soil and climate ‘.Operators Given Fall Protection by Governor * Stone—Soldiers Will Aid All Men Who Wish to Work, in the Anthracite Fields. • n» suiuiui doubtiesi he wide to sax apple , trees. Tbere be but one objection to util­ izing the land slong the roadride for fruit trees,, and that Is the tendency ontbe pert of the owner to neglect them to a much greater extent than would be-the case if the trees were In orchard rows. The trees must have the annual care, the pruning, tbe spraying nnd the thinning, and if these are given there is no reason why they should not grow profitable crops. F»rm and Factory. In 1870, the census did not report a pound of butter made in factories; Hr. 1880. 30,000.000 pounds, out of a prod­ uct of. 607.000,000, was factory made; In 1900 the factory product of butter wan 420.120.000 pounds, put of a grand total of 1,402,699,000 pounds, the fac­ tory product being 2&2 per cent of the whole. Cheese making shows a still more remarkable transformation. In 1860 there was no cheese making In fac­ tories reported. In 1870 tbe factories made more than one-half our cheese; and in 1900 the farms made but 10,372.­ 000 pbunds. or less than 6 per cent of the whole product of 300,000,000. Illustrations might be multiplied In­ definitely to show the encroachment of the factory upon the function of the farm. Indeed. It Is becoming a most difficult matter for the census makers to determine where to draw the line be­ tween agriculture nnd manufactures tn many branchib of industry. But the farm Is the twip sister of the factory; they, flqurisb or nre depressed In per­ fect sympathy; and American suprem­ acy In manufactures is due. In very large degree, to the abundance of our agricultural products.

Other Fertilizer Needed. It is generally admitted that there is considerable manorial value- in the grain stubble left on the field to be plowed under, this value consisting of a portion of all the essential plant foods in varying degrees, together with more or less lime nnd humlds. In some cases this value is considerable in one plant food as In the case of the nitrogen in the nlowed-under dorr.

Attempt to Kun Street Cara Results In a Battle. In New Orleans a bloody street riot followed the street car company's at­ tempt to operate its cars for the first time since the strike began ten days r.go. Policeman Schleaainger was shot through the head and mortally wounded. M. L. Kennedy, « non-union conductor, was wounded in the bund. Motorman Fergu­ son. ona of the strikers, was shot through the left arm. A score of policemen and bystanders were painfully wounded by bricks nnd other flying missiles. Fifty shots were fired before lhe excitement subsided. A platoon of police charged the crowd with drawn chibs and a num­ ber of arrests wore made. The first car which started from the barns was iu charge of Motorman Nintz. who came from Chicago to take the job, and Conductor Kennedy. An immense crowd of people, including strikers, their sympathizers nnd curiosity seekers, was in Wells street, As tin* car approached Dorgenols street the mob rushed out. tore up the sidewalks from each aide of the street nnd threw the boards across the track to impede tbe progress of the car. Bricks and stones were burled at the car ns it came tn n standstill near the obstruction pile. Tlie crowd made a rush for the non-union men on board. The policemen in the car fell upon the floor to protect themselves from the min of* missiles. There was not a pane of glass left In the car. The bluecor’x finally escaped from the ear nnd charged the crowd. A shot was fired. Then many slyrts followed, both the police nnd men In the throng using revolvers. Gov. Stone of Pennsylvania Monday night ordered the entire National Guard of the State into the anthracite coal fields. Ten thousand armed men will attempt to open the mines that have beeo idle during the lost Twenty weeks. While the council of war that decided upon this radical* action wns being held John Mitchdl, president of the United Mine Workers, was holding n secret con­ ference with Frank P. Sargent, who had been sent by President Roosevelt to dis­ cuss new plans fur settling the strike. The action of Gov. Stone is believed Jo havti been taken without consulting Pres­ ident Roosevelt's wishes and, according: to a Harrisburg dispatch. seems likely to thwart the President's latest move intbe interests of peace. 'Settlement of the great battle between, the coal operators nnd their employe* sccms as far off as ever. President- Mitchell Monday .night is­ sued n call for district meetings to lie held to pass resolutions expressing the sentiments of the miners ns to continuing the strike, in which he declares he is con­ fident of final victory. Recalls Homestead Troubles. This is the first time since the Home­ stead riots in 1892 that the entire divis­ ion of the guard has l>een ordered out for | strike duty. At this time, however, no I unusual disorder hns .been reported nnd the move is' looked upon more ns one of* policy than of necessity. The dost to tho State of this tour ot duty will probably exceed $1,000,000. During the riots about Pittsburg in 1877 during President Hayes' adminis­ tration the guard was called out. Fifteen years later when the iron workers about Homestead began rioting two brigades, the Second from the western part uf the State and the Third from the central part, were on active duty about the great Iron works, while the First from Phila­ delphia nnd its vicinity- was called out and cncnmiHsI nt Mount Gretna, where they awaited orders; but the strike was settled nnd the First never reached the strike field. The entire strength <>f the National Guard of Pennsylvania is about 10.000 men and officers. The troops al­ ready in the field consist of fifty-two com­ panies of ftifantry and three troops of cavalry. The re-enforcements ordered out aggregate ninety-eight companies of Infantry, one troop of cavalry and three batteries. RECEIVER FOR THE MINES. Big Coni Railroads Must Fight De­ termined Action. Several Boston men, seeking public re­ lief in the courts from the coal shortage and high prices, have filed in the State Supreme Court a bill in equity asking for a receiverrfor coni producing railroad® and companies operating iu Pennsylva­ nia. The petitioners ask that n receiver be appointed for the benefit of all concerned upon such terms and in such manner, aud with such agents and servants, and with such rates of wages aud other conditions .of employment, nnd nt such prices for goods produced and sold ns the court shall from time to time adjudge proper. The suit is inline with the contentions of Attorney Hemau W. Chaplin and is to make n test of his theory which ia based on the utterance of Chief Justice Waite of the United States Supreme Court in delivering nn opinion of thnt court pn the constitutionality of certain laws made by the legislature of tin- State of Illi­ nois for tlie purpose of regulating the methods nnd determining tlie compensa­ tion to be received for the handling and storage uf grain by the elevator com­ panies in the city of Chicago. On that occasion Chief Justice Waite ■aid: .. "Property becomes clothed with a pub­ lic interest when used in a manner to make it of public consequence nnd affect the community at large. When, therefore, one devotes his property to a use in which tlie public has an interest he, in effect, grunts to the public an interest in that use and he must submit to be controlled by the public for the common good to the extent of the interest he has thuscreated.” _____________________ Gov.

He painted out'th? ,h, Sherman act and said if thi* law i* con­ stitutional then other legislation along the same Hne would also be constitutional. The keynote of the Attorney General's speech was the positive declaration that CongresK has full powrr to pass any laws necessary to control the trusts and end any evils for which they,are responsible. Mr. Knox proceeded to show that no con­ stitutional amendment I* necessary, ex­ plained what is lacking in tbe Bherman anti-trust law, and declared that if. a* has been proved, this law is constitution­ al, an amendment or anew law can be passed by Congress without a special in­ dorsement by the voter* of the nation. After declaring that -the great com­ bination* of capital, numbering thou•nnds, in their numbers and size “appall no healthy American,*’ and that no right thinking man desires to impair the effi-. ciency of the great corporations and in­ strumentalities of national commercial de­ velopment. he continued: "The conspicuous noxious fenfures of trusts existent and possible are these: Orcr-cupitfllizatlon, lack of publicity , of operation, discrimination in prices tn de­ stroy competition, insufficient personal re­ sponsibility of officer* and director* for corporate management, tendency co mon­ opoly and lack of appreciation iu their management of. their relations to tbe peo­ ple, for whose benefit they are permitted to exist Over-capitalization is the chief of these and the source from which the minor ones flow." The speaker declared that corporations "depending upon any statutory law for their existence or privileges trading be­ yond their own States should be require*! to do business in every locality upon the same terms and conditions, with no pref­ erences in service, no discrimination in prices, and such ns arc currier* should be required to keep the avenue* of -com­ merce free and open to all on the same terms, and to observe the law with ref­ erence to stifling competition, "more­ over," he added, “corporation! upon which the public depends for tbe neces­ saries of life should be required to con­ duct their business so ns regularly end reasonably to supply the public needs.” Other recommendations were made end then the Attorney General took up the question of the power of the government to regulate trust*, citing the constitution and 2he legislation enacted on the sub­ ject. Ho then declared thnt in his opin­ ion the power of Congress now extends far enough to regulate commerce <n the ways suggested. He declared thnt no one could now say thnt that power does not extend so far.' After reviewing the recent cases against the railroad merger and tbe beef trust the Attorney General concluded his speech with those words: “A law,regulating interstate commerce for its protection against restraint, so brand ns to cover all persons whose bus' ness is conducted under agreements which are in any' way or to any extent In restraint of trade, might exclude thou­ sands of small concerns conducting in­ dustries In one State from marketing their products in others; but a law which only corers contracts and combinations in restraint of trade n* defined by the com­ mon law would exclude nil hurtful com­ binations and conspiracies, (hxigres* can. if It sees fit, adopt the scheme of that law."

The medical man of to-day combats the same dis­ eases, which his professional'forefathers faced a cen­ tury ago, but he enters the contest better armed, r.nd so has more successes and fewer defeats. Bft the I medical man a century hence will still face the unw diseases that are fought to-day. and his armamenta­ ---------- rium will be still better. Hence there must be loop­ holes iu the medical knowledge of to-day. There certainly •re many and serious ones which earnest effort is striving to •done. What are they? A mere attempt at enumeration would •occupy more Kpace than is placed at my disposal. First come Jhe great problems of heredity. Many obscure •lervous diseases, of which Friedrich's ataxia is a type, show t»y their recurrence in aeveral generations of the same family ■that they are hereditary, but why they are hereditary is utterly unknown. To what extent tuberculosis is subject to heredi­ tary influences is still in dispute. Equally with his endow­ ment of life by heredity each one bears from the same source M tendency to.* certain mode of death. Some things of this ■•ature are known, but not enough. Even a satisfactory classi­ fication of the tendencies themselves is not at hand. Next to heredity the problems of nutrition are to he noted, •nd these are not comprised entirely, in foods and their diges-tlon. What becomes «t the food after its digestion nnd ab­ sorption? The liver takes care of some of it. but what it dues i the Ideal marriage state. Divorce la a challenge to our present system. Evolu­ tion has been the law of -life. The rela­ tion of the । sexes has passed through many phases and is likely to pass through many more. I would recommend every rational man and woman thinking and writing on tbe subject of divorce to run through their lite experience, summon up all the divorced people they knqw, gauge their moral status and, if possible, the influence of their lives as writers, speakers, artists and philanthropists and see if they do not compare favorably with the b*st men and women of their acquaintance. In my own circle of friends I can recall at most two dozen—all aa gifted, moral and refined, men nnd women as I ever knew. Bnt few of the women married again, and those who did have been exceptionally happy in their new relations. The rapidly increasing number of divorces so far from showing a lower state of morals proves exactly the reverse. Woman la in a transition period from slavery to freedom, and she will not accept the conditions in married life that ahe has heretofore meekly endured. When tne mother, with her steadfast love of home and chil­ dren. demands release, we may rest assured her reasons for .sundering the tie are sufficient to herself and should be to NEED OF WOMEN JURORS. I want to enter a strong plea for the admittance of women on the juries of the variant law courts of the country. The disadvantage of tho present system was brought home only recently, when a woman was placed on trial charged with murder. This woman was, I believe ffoiu tbe evidence produced at the trial, guilty of the crime which was brought against her. Nevertheless because she had the advantage of eminent counsel aud cause she was young and beautiful she was allowed to go “scot free.” A woman told me that she would have rendered on entirely Afferent verdict. 1 think that when a woman is placed an trial if notthe __ _ judge at least the jury should be wholly composed of women; Let each sex try and convict the members of its own sex. I would like to warn women who enter k profession against- the evil of becoming unsexed. Retain your charms, retain your gentleness and remember that, although you have a profes­ sion, you are still a woman. AN AUTOMOBILE'HARVESTER. to see the machine work.

Bombay now has 760.000 people.

For <?ew momenta Humphrey did not realise the import of his question, till he turned and gazed down once more upon the stern, handsome face fixing rigidly in death. "No," he said, quickly, as he drew a handkerchief from his breast and softly spread it over the face of the dead. “It is ocr secret—ours alone." “Ha!” sighed Bart, and he drew back for a moment, and then gave Humphrey an Imploring look before advancing once more, going down upon Ida knee, and tak­ ing and kissing the cold hand lying across tbe motionless breast.

No doubt nor one reader In a thousand will know wheth­ er berseem is nomethlng from tbe In­ side of a pvrandd or an element of beeswax. The United States Govern­ ment has just Ismwd a booklet about It written by David G. Fairchild, who Ib described In the big Blue Book as "Permanent Agricultural Explorer.

Department of Agriculture.” Surely bersecm must be very Important -or thia dis­ tinguished explorer would not have taken the time to write a book about it and illustrate It with fine photogra­ vures. When land has had no rain for centurles a **!ty deposit gathers ■ Dear the surface. The scientist knows ex­ actly why this Is so. but it is hardly worth while to explain. When these arid lands are covered with water the first result Is the formation of a salty crust. This plays havoc with tbe In­ tentions of the agriculturist He tries to get rid qf this salty deposit by deep tilling, but this will not always work. When the department determined that this salty crust was one of the im­ portant handicaps' of the Irrigation schemes, It undertook to find, a plant which would neutralize these salty de­ posits. This was the quest of David G. Fairchild, and he reports that he found In berseem. the fodder and soil­ ing plant of Egypt. Trifollum Alesadrlnum, just the thing for a rotating crop for irrigated land. ■ Not only will berseem be useful in eating the salts which- hamper the ir­ rigation agriculturist, but it furnishes the manure to enrich the soil. Amer­ ica here gets another Important lesson from the Egyptian. The fellabln (farm laborer) have for centuries used the manure of the stables for fuel. Girls are employed to mlg it with earth and the (’wled cakes are burned. in fact. It Is the principal fuel. The soil, deprived of its natural enrichment, would deteriorate were It not for the wonderful properties of the fodder crop. The keenest modern agricul­ turists of the Nile Valley report that without this wonderful plant the soil would soon become so weak, despite the deposit of silt from the overflow­ ing waters, that it would become worthless. The Silt Is almost devoid of the necessary nitrogenous matter. The berseem also keeps • down the weeds. The report of Mr. Fairchild says: “Nothing among the varied agricul­ tural sights which Interest the tourist In Egypt Is so Interesting as the cul­ ture. harvest and marketing of this green fodder crop. Every coachman has a bunch of berveem or a bag of it under his feet, with which he feeds his horse at the cabstand. Every drayman has on top of bls load a bag of It for his horses or bullocks, and the donkey boys carry a bag of it for their much-abused jeasts. In the early morning the avenues leading to Cairo are lined with long files of cam­ els and donkeys bearing the green for­ age. Aboht its culture all other agri­ cultural crops are arranged." The plant resembles clover and the stems are very succulent, In every way more delicate than clover or alfalfa, and It Is eaten not only by domestic animals, buf by the farm laborer.—Cin­ cinnati Commercial Tribune. Increase of Glaciers. For the last fire years physical geographers have been giving a great deal of attention to the study of glac­ iers. One question that has interest­ ed them 'very much Is whether since the beginning of the historic period the glaciers of the world have aug­ mented or diminished in area. No perfectly definite information Fith regard to this question has been ob­ tained, though some general conclu­ sions have been reached. It Is tra­ ditional In the Alps, however, and some other regions that valleys now occupied by glaciers were formerly pasture lands. On the whole,’ it is certain that for several centuries till quite recently there was a gradual Increase in tbe area of glaciation. Glaciers everywhere are in a state of continual movement—they are con­ stantly increasing In length or short­ ening. Climatic variations are of course, the cause of the oscillations, though the influence of climatic upon glacial movement is not yet fully un­ derstood. When the laws governing the movements of glaciers are well known the science of meteorology will be considerably further advanced than it is today.—Chicago Inter-Ocean. . The Effect of Mixed Diet Dr. Henry Van Dyke tells a story of an Irishman who was engaged in the business of chicken raising near Princeton. One day a traveling man expressed surprise at tho use of so much cornmeal at feeding time, and suggested that the meal be mixed with sawdust insisting that the hens would not know the difference. A few months later the traveling man was agahi in the community, and he asked if the new diet had been tried, and what the result had been. “It works beautifully," was the reply.

Last Sunday a bunch of sports from the Hub got to hankering for quail on toast and started on a hunt for the festive bird. Deputy Game Warden Fisher, of Detroit was in town and followed the too eager hunters. The bunch was rounded up and two of them had to pay 810 and cost*. The rest of the boys were iucky enough to be unlucky in bagglug birds, so escaped a fine. The prettiest social event which has occurred in Nashville this season was a reception given by Mrs. George A. Truman, at her home on thu south side, Friday afternoon, in honor of her daughter, Mrs. William Montague Ferry of Salt L&xeCity. The spacious parlors were beautifully decorated with autumn leaves and scarlet ber­ ries, while the rooms were darkened and artificially lighted. Mrs. Truman waa assisted in receiving by Mrs. L. O. Crocker and Mrs. D. E. Frinks Mesdames H. R. Dickinson, C. LGlasgow, C. W. Smith, W. H. Klelnhans, R. J. Wade and L. W. Felghner also assisted, while Mrs. B. B. Wilcox presided at the punch bowl. The refreshments were frozen pudding, wafers and punch. About LOO ladies called to pay their respects, and thi» ’ event was highly enjoyed by all. �OUTDOOR W.

Great Growth of the • ualnca* Shown The total volume of business done by the mall order houses of Chicago, writes William E. Curtis, In the Rec­ ord-Herald. Is about $40,000,000 a year. It la peculiar to Chicago, although there are imitators In several other cit­ ies. One flrm In Chicago does a trade of $15,000,000; another 112,000,000. It Is a cash business. The money must accompany the order. About 40 per cent of their receipts arc In postofflee money orders. 30 per cent In express orders, 20 per cent In currency that comes in ordinary letters and 10 per cent In. |>oatage stamps. People are very careless about sending money, and It Is the highest possible tribute to the honesty and efficiency of the postal service that fo little is lost. The other day one of the big firms received a $100 bill and seven sliver dollars In an ordinary envelope so thin that the coins could be counted through the jiaper, nn<| every postoffice clerk that handled the letter must have known that It contained silver money. Nor Is this exceptional. One firm here re­ ceives not less than $3,000,000 annually In currency through the mall* and the clerk in charge tells me that while there are mistakes and losses every day, they are comparatively Insignifi­ cant and are due to the carelessness of the senders rather than to the dis­ honesty of the postoffice employes.

An exchange unusual If not unpre­ cedented In church history and mark­ ed by the spirit of true brotherly feel­ ing lately took place between the Methodists and Lutheran* In Roanoke. Va. When they were at the height of their prosperity the Lutherans built a handsome stone house of worship, which cost them $80,000 and which seats 700 persons. They got a fine or­ gan and everything of the best and costliest style and Ln their enthusiasm expended more than they Intended and had to borrow $18,000. Then came a squabble about the pantor and tbo choir, the attendance fell off and the congregation was sadly divided, until, having lost Its best men. the society found It difficult to raise the money to pay the Interest on the debt In addition to the regular running expenses. In the meantime the Methodists had pro*pored and needed a new and larger church. The Lutherans heard of ft and offered the trade. The offer was accepted. The Methodlsta took the $80,000 church off their hands, assum­ ed the mortgage of $18,000, paid them $20,000 cash and gave them in ex­ change their old house of worship.

Most of them were on the fifth and sixth floors the- windows. Some jumped into life nets- *OHte leaped to death nnd other* were seen falling back into the flame be­ hind them. Firemen almost lost self-control when they approached from nil parts of the city. F+ve buildings were in flames when the department began the work of saving the city from what seemed a threat cf general disaster. Though the principal building of the glucose plant, a thirteenstory structure standing dlrwnly east of the burning building, seemed doomed tn the face of the terrible force of destruc­ tion, it was saved as though by a miracle. From the fir«t to the thirteenth story it was wrapped iu flame*. Every win­ dow on the west side of the structure was alive with fire. Only quick action of the department in connecting a sprinkler sys­ tem with tiw firetug Illinois in the river saved the big buildiug. which, hud it burned, would have swelled the property loss to $^.090,000 nnd would have rtiasetl a blaze that could not have been con­ fined to the building itself.

While the grain crop* .are being moved the supply of rolling stock and motive jiower will prove insufficient, al­ though every effort is made at the shop*, liberal premiums being offered for early delivery. That the railways are well oc­ cupied is evidenced by earnings for tbe first week of October 3.5 per cent larger than last year and 10.0‘ per cent above 1900. Inadequate supplies of fuel caused fur­ ther banking of furnaces, but the effect of n decreased output of domestic pig iron has been partly neutraliwd by larger ar­ rival* from abroad. Practically no price can be named for immediate delivery of home iron, and there ta no dwp<**ition to make concession* for distant contract*, owing to the abnormal coke situation. Fortunately there hna been little biterruptiou at finishing mills, and the ou’*>ut of rails, structural material and kindred lines I* well maintained. Consumer* not only find difficulty in securing steel from the mills but encounter a further delay on the rniBwnys, which are unable to linndie freight promptly. Orders come for­ ward freely tor the heavier lines, numorous contract* being offered for steel rails for next year's delivery, and the plans for building* nnd bridges keep a lot of buxi­ nes* iu sight in beams, channels nnd an­ gles. Plates for shipyards are also sought freely, prices tending upward on tank steel. Higher freight rates have check­ ed imports of finished steel. ~~ The railroads continue • CllIMQO.

The end of the convention nnd of the .great n trike which has lasted five months suddenly appeared close nt hand. Pnsi■deut Mitchel I, after the convention had given itself over to heated debate for un hoar and a half, arose and calmly told 1 Che delegates that it must be apparent to All of them that there was no duubt whst•ever that the President's proposal would bo adopted. There lyid been a renewal of the serious opposition of the steam men and heated words had passed between ■deiegntM. i Vote Is Unanimous. Explanations of .the President** pro­ posal had been made In four foreign Iwnguages. There seemed to be more oppo­ sition thin ever to settlement, when sud­ denly there was a break in tbe clouds when a motion .was put by a delegate down in front, near the presiding officer. In a dear voice the strike leader called for a vote on-the all-important Question and instantly there was a roar of ayes. The next instant messengers were fly­ ing in all directions from Jhe convention to giro the news to tlie world through the newspapers. Hundreds of miners who were not dele­ gates filled the sidewalks nnd streets near the entrance to the Nesbitt Thea­ ter, where the convention had met. and Che news quickly spread among the mem. and the faces of men who had saSrred hardships since last May at once became brighter. After the strike had been declared off there was some routine business, includ­ ing the usual votes of thanks, nnd then ahortly before 1 o'clock the convention adjourned sine die.

Of course, the problem presents but little difficulty when proper furnaces nnd specially prepared grates nre Installed for the purpose, but when one turns hurriedly from one to the other fuel with the determination to make pres­ ent fixings do, something more than a will Is required to find the way. Of cour.»e, there is a way and it ia slmplo^pnongli in reality, but it ia a very different way from that which must be employed with anthracite. In the feed door of every furnace there is ,a slide damper to admit air over the fire. When anthracite is used this is opened only if it is desired to deaden the fire and lowertthe temperature of the house. With soft coal it must be left open all the time. ■ Too much nir for good combustion can be admitted over the fire, but it is not likely to be the case if the slide damper iu the feed door of a furnace built for anthracite is left wide open nil the time. The drafts opening in the ash pit, on the other hand, needs to be less widely and continuously open than for anthracite. MISS CURA BARTON, WHOM Wealthy Farmer Mlaaing. John Rosebro. aged 50 years, a wealthy PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT HONORED. farmer living near Buchanan, has been missing for several days. One day he appeared at the Buchanan bank and drew currency to the amount of $1,000 and also took a Inrge amount of notes which he had left with the bank for safe­ keeping. He said he intended buying stock. All trace since then has been lost. Rosebro stands high in the community and his family think that he has been kidnaped and that n large sum of money will be asked for hla release. Gates Damned Apple Crop. It has been conservatively estimated, that Berrien County will produce 400,­ 000 bushels of apples this year, the larg­ est crop in the history of this region.

James Tanager Kills Himself In a Motel at St. Paul. James Younger, the famous cx-bandit, who was paroled a incue over n year ago from the penitentiary at Stillwater, killed himself In a room in the Reardon Hotel in St. Paul, Minn. He wns evidently insane. He wns found with a revolv­ er clinched in his right hand. lie had used his left hand to steady the revolv­ er when he held it to hia temple. His clothes were neatly fo led and everything iu the room showed h had made careful preparation to end bls life. The police found a package of letters that had passed between Younger and e woman with whom he is said to have been in lore. The woman, who is promi­ nently connected, is said to have recipro­ cated his affection, and It was reported at one time that they were to be married. Her relative* raised objections, and a further obstacle was the fact that It waa pointed out that a paroled prisoner could not legally contract a marriage. The couple determined to disregard the ob­ jections of relatives and an effort was made to overcome the other obstacle to their marriage by Mcnring from the State board of pardons a full pardon and res­ toration to citizenship. This effort fail-id. and thia, R is thought, had much to do with Younger's determination to end his life.

The State and War Department* are seriously considering th* het of the Ven­ ezuelan government in using an Ameri­ can flag on the gunboat Restaurador to deceive the people of Ciudad Bolivar, when that city waa bombarded Sept 30. Preaident Castro nt -once granted the apology demanded by United States Min­ ister Bowen, but there are questions in­ volved which Secretary Hay says cannot be settled so easily. International law on th* subject permits a nation to vie the flag of a neutral nation in between the United States and South American countries makes this esse an entirely new one. * Besides this the flag was used iu the River Orinoco, within th* three-mile limit, not on the high sms, making another irregularity in the caae.

The jury in the trial, of R. M. Snyder, accused of bribery in connection with the passage of certain street railway bills in Sl Lout* City Council, returned a verdict of guilty. Tbe punishment was fixed at five years iu the petiiti-ntiary. It wax as­ serted that Snyder spent $250,000 for votes in the Munici­ pal- Assembly. Af­ terward the fran­ chise he obtained was sold to tbe Transit Company n-.Ht.ar m. aNYDKM for five times that amount. Thia is the flrat conviction of n bribe-giver in •.-onnection with the investigation that baa continued since last December. There have been three other convictions, two of members of the Assembly and one of a witness. Snyder made no defense to the charge of bribery. He refused to plead when arraigned.

This would liven up re­ tail trade, which is.reported a little quiet in some localities. The railroads arc doing a business heavy beyond precedent. W* no longer hear the loud complaints, so common ut this time last year, when the situation was not much worse, uf the scarcity of ears. With-nll the new equipment added, since then nud with more coming into use daily, the roads are still overtax<xl. The grain movement is affected seriously. But shippers realize the situation better now and are slower to lodge complaint*. In the Northwest it is believed that themovement of coarse grains, the heaviest ever known, has passed its maximum point and that from this time on morewheat will come Instead. Country ele­ vator stock* are larger than at this time last year, while wheat stock* iu Minne­ apolis nnd Duluth are alxjut 10,000,000bushels less than last year. There has been some slight growth of reactionary feeling during the week due to tbe recent shun* advance in wheat and tbe fact that a number of bearish items nre seen in the world's statistics. The heavy Russian wheat and rye crops tiredwelt upon as influence* making for ul­ timate price depression, as is the large increase in Manitoba interior stocks nnd. the fact that in four weeks the world's visible supply of wheat increased 35,800.0(K» bushels, compared with an increase ut 9,000.000 bushels iu the currctqxmding four week* last year. Yet the fact* remain that there is scarcely any wheat in store in Minneapolis and the movement is not heavy, while the flour mills have been grinding at a rale to make ix •• rec­ ords in fiou*>production, and outside mill­ ers have also been heavy buyer* In this market. The fact that prices nre net too high to do business in competition abroad would »eem clear from the conthraed ex­ port inquiry reported from day to dsy nnd the exports of 7.OGO.317 bushelm this week, tlie largest of any week for more than a rear.

The speed slackened and we came to a standstill In the blackness of the tunnel. ' For a mo­ ment I experienced a veritable nightmare. With a rustling and tearing of papers the struggle continued, silently but fiercely. After having wriggled and turned des­ perately in every direction; like a stran­ gled reptile, the hand, crushed under my palms, lay quiet. I saw nothing, heard nothing, not even a breath. I knew, how­ ever, that my companion wa* on the alert, noting my every movement. Suf­ focated by emotion and wearied by the tension on' my nerves, I waited for the daylight for deliverance. After a period of time, very short, prob­ ably, but the length of which I could not estimate, the train began to move slow­ ly. My relief at thi* was so great that my who’e being involuntarily relaxed from its tension. This was evidently expected, for the hand again tried to free itself, not by violent jerk* this time, but by a strong, steady pulling. I felt it slipping along, little by little, under lhe paper*.’ I imprudently raised my palm a bit to get a fresh hold. When I a-rain bore down I clasped only my pocketbook. The hand had escaped, I knew not when nor how. I ha*tily opened the pur«e, frit that its contents were there, then put it into my veat pocket, and stupidly crossed my arm­ orer it. At la-t a gray light penetrated into tb« compariment. followed by the bright light of day. My first glance waa nt the lady opposite. She sat in exactly the tarn* place, with the same air of bafghty in­ difference. Nothing about her toilet wa«' disarrMiRed in the least. Not a fold of her dress seemed to have been moved. She looked pale, however, and her eye* were oent on her'right hand, aa she ’slowly laced up her glove. It truly seemed a* if I were waking from n dream. The trayj stopped and the platform was on my side. The lady rose, dropping the paper from her lap. took her umbrella, and with n perfectly composed and polite “Pardon me, sir.” passed in front of me. Feeling stupid and duped, I put ou’ my arm to detain her. But she was a1- r ready >n the *lep», and noticing my ge* turc, she turned half round, and for th* first time I saw her eye*. They were as blue as the sky and lim pid and beautiful in expression. They gazed at me with so much surprise and candor that I was disarmed complete!) and I let her go unmolested.

She Is, in fact—partic­ ularly If she lias sufficient enterprise to get married—twenty years from being aged. In these times of comfortable and enlightened living the world is full of spry, chipper octogenarians who would not thank anybody for calling them old or even venerable. A man Is as old as he feels and a woman as she looks. Why not let it go at that and leave off all officials and Imperiltent adjectives until the subject is dead and knows nothing about them?

The Armour child was born with shallow hip sockets, and her thigh bones slip out and foil to support the weight of her body. She will have to irear a rigid plaster cast for months, while Prof. Adolph Lorenz's assistant watch®* to soe that she is properly cared for. At the end of that time Na­ ture is expected to, have remedied her mistake with the millionaire's child, and msde glad an unhappy home of luxury. The lesson In this Is not the devotion of the father, strongly indi­ cated as it is. His expenditure in­ volves no sacrifice of money, when hi* wealth Is considered. Probably, If con­ vinced that be could buy her perfect health with hl* whole fortune, the financial world would feel th* shock of millions of capital suddenly shifted. The lesson is that every parent who The coal strike, with all the expense, Inconvenience and Buffering which 1^ has caused, ha* afforded janother^atistratlon of the- general guod-nature of the American people, and their willing-, nes* to find something arnusing even in their own inconvenience. If one could gather all the humorous paragraph* Which the newspapers have printed In regard to the price of coal he would, have material enough for a book, and a clever and amusing book it would be. Nor is the editor by anp mean* the only one who ha* had his little, joke. The Jeweler display* on apiece of cotton batting in his window a piece of coal the size of hl* thumb-nail, with the legend, “Genuine, old-mine anthracite coal from Pennsylvania. Not for Bale." The grocer packs an egg-crate with piece* of coal and puts it on view with the Innocent sign, “Forty cent* a doz­ en.” The safe dealer labels hl* goods, “Burglar-proof coal-bin*." This habit of laughing-at discomforts and making a joke of adversity Is no new trait in American character. It appeared during the Spanish-American war. when men charged Joyously to the nir of “There'!) Be a Hot Time in the Old Town 'To­ night." It showed itself In humorous song* sung In Libby prison and practi­ cal Jokes *pcrpctrated in Andersonville. It cropped out in that Southern cavalry­ man who was offered five thousand dol­ lars lu Confederate currency for ids horse, and replied with a grin that he had just'paid ten thousand to have him shod. Ability to brush asi&e care, and even danger, with a laugh, *o fur from being an indication of weakness or ir­ responsibility, Is rather a sign of strength, and decidedly a source of strength, Lincoln, most typical of Americans, was typical in this. His jokes are history ns well a* literature, yet many of them were born of circum­ stances which, fo a man who lacked the saving salt of humor, would have been tragic. Somebody asked Napoleon the great­ est need of France. "Mother*," be re­ plied. He might have applied lil* an­ swer to the world, for humanity recog­ nizes in motherhood the mainspring of existence, the acme of life, the one thing that control* destiny and find* a responsive- chord in every heart. Doesn't It? The other day a very hand­ some woman boarded a crowded street air. There were men Hitting. A good many, men have reached the conclu­ sion that sex should not cut a great figure on a street car, nnd that a wom­ an, young and strong. is entitled* to about what a man gets—a *eat, if there Is one vacant; a strap, It ail the strap* are not In use. And then the car stop-1 ped again and a woman carrying a baby entered. It wa* her baby. There was pride lu her eye*—the pride of motherhood. Did she have to stand? Not one minute. A dozen men were on their feet. A banker said: “Take this seat, madam.” A laboring man mutely pointed to the place he had va­ cated. An old man smiled benignly at mother and child and gracefully waved them to his seat. A woman and a baby could have bad the car for the asking. That 1* something greater than courtesy—•deeper and finer. It 1* an acknowledgment The world takes -off Its hat to the woman who ha* borne a child and saya: “Madatn, you are as holy as a human being can be; as nearly divine as the work of God can be made. You are fulfilling your mission on earth. Every woman is your sister and every man your brother. You can never be with­ out friend* and protector*. How can we serve you?" And on the train one passenger give* baby bl* watch to play with, vyhile another close* the window, and a third offers bl* new magazine to the mother, while the porter brings a gla* of water and asks her If aha wouldn't care for a pillow.

As It moved, of course, it picked up In Its path portions of the ground beneath, which became a part of tlie moraine. The discovery may lead to a revolu­ tion In the method of prospecting.

Take two boards six or eight inches wide and of a thick­ ness according to the weight of the fence, cross them at.the top as shown and fasten together with heavy wire nails. Each piece may be notched so that the notch will come under the top rail op either side, or the boards may be spiked to the top rail on either side. Fasten these boards at the bottom as shown In the cut,' brace them by driv­ ing strong stakes In the ground and nail the boards to the stakes. To give adltlonol‘strength the lower bar of the supporting frame may "be spiked to tbe bottom rail of the fence. This support Is readily made, aud If fastened to the well on corn alone, but are not always profitable unless given some other kind of feed. Fnll Plowing. • Fall plowing should always be deep­ er than spring plowing, because the newer soli brought to tbe surface in the fall becomes disintegrated by tbe agency of frost and Is thereby better prepared for crop production.

It would astonish many farmers to make an Investigation of the number of weed plants that are to be found in grass lauds, nnd even in meadows that are supposed to be Id a high state of cultivation. They are more conspic­ uous in the pastures, because our most common weeds will grow on land where the cultivated grass makes but little growth. The daisy, the rag weed, mints nnd others are often to be found by the hundred on a single square foot In tbe pasture, while in spots the this­ tle. milkweed and orange hawkweed have taken almost complete possession. But there are many in the richly ma­ nured mowing, where the grasses grow so much faster and ranker as .to hide them until the hay is taken off. Too close pasturing Is In some cases respon­ sible for these weeds. Some of these larger perennials must be dug out. root and all. before they can make seed, or cut down so often that they will per­ ish because of a lack of leaf growth. In some cases plowing, manuring and reseeding with clean seeds seems to be tbe only remedy, and It is not always | easy to get grass seed free from the seeds of weeds, and a course of three j years in cultivation, killing eveyy weed In the field or around its borders, may be the only way to reduce their num­ ber.—New England Homestead. The Ohio Experiment Station during tbe past ten years has tested thirty-four differently named varieties of wheat. The Ptnqulte’s Velvet Chaff Is used as u standard by which to test the yield, aud every third plot Is sown with that, and as the yield rises above br falls be­ low that, the productiveness and the value are estimated. During tbe ten years test the Mealy has made the best showing, having had an average yield of 4 Vs bushels per acre greater than the Velvet Chaff. The Poole, Red Rus­ sian and Harvest King are decided to be the same variety, nnd they have ranged from 3 1-3 to 3% bushels better than the Velvet Chaff, the Gypsy 3% bushels better, nnd Early Bipe 3H bush­ els better than Velvet Chaff. Yet they class the Poole next to the Mealy, per­ haps because It has been longer tested, or because It stands up better than the Gypsy or Early Ripe.—American Culti­ vator. A Brooder Attachment.

This report revives Intereat in an old, but forgotten portion of our earlr his­ tory. What the Black Hole of Calcutta was to the followers of Lord Clive in India, the Jersey prison ship wm to our forefather* of the days of the War of Independence. The vessel was originally a 60-gun ship of thi Hue built in the early part of the Eighteenth century. After gall­ ing the seas for thirty years and tak­ ing part in many battles, she was finally condemned while in American waters and transformed into a prison ship during the Revolution. Here were confined at one time as many as 1,200 of the patriots, although In her palmy days the entire complement of the Jersey’screw was less than 4U0. She leaked constantly, and the con»equent dampness added to tbe misery of the starved, poorly clothed and fre­ quently sick or wounded Americans who were confined within her pesti­ lential hold. Nu attempt was made at keeping her clean. In the winter no firm were kindled to warm the shiver­ ing prisoners, and in the summer no awnings were furnished to protect them from the heat of the sun. No physician was permitted to visit the sick, and no clergyman came to con­ sole the dying. She remained an­ chored in New York harbor through­ out the contest, the center of sickness, suffering and death.- It is stated that the bones of her dead, to the number of 11,000, lie buried on the Brooklyn shore. A relic of so great historical inter­ est should be exhumed and placed in a museum. A location under the dome of the Capitol at Washington is none too good for tiie remains of the prison ship in which 11,000 of the Revolutionary fathers gave up tbeir Ilves a sacrifice for our liberties.— Grand Rapids Herald.

A nail keg full of war-tim6 pennies issued by railroad and lumber com­ panies in the early sixties, were found in an old store building at Richland yesterday afternoon. For more than forty years the building, which is now being torn down to make reft)in for a residence, was occupied by A. B. Barnes’ general store. Tbe keg of pennies was found in a remote part of tbe cellar and had not been disturbed for thirty years. The coins were of two or three kinds and were leaped by corporations, and private firms at a lime when the only money put into circulation by the gov­ ernment was ' 'war script. ” The pen­ nies are of no value novi were scattered among the boys of the town.

The railway pocplr. however, have their ideas on this point, and theirs orid rotnea the fipeclttf check which Is l urnxl for chocking buggape to point# off ' the rompany’a Urn*.

It alao shows the roads over which I the particular piece of baggage Lm ta travel nnd the junction points where It H to be transferred to another_rqad. A third kind of check Is what Is lepown as a depot or Identification check.. This check Is used for giving to persons bringing baggage to the depots and who are not ready to check the oatne out, placed in such a manner that It will through some reason or other, such as Im* easy of acres* as It is wanted. As a rule the heavy stuff is placed on tbe notJhavlDg purchased their ticket, etc. floor of the car and the lighter pieced Carters are always bringing baggKgon top. The greatest care possible, to tbe depots, mid thia check Is used compatible with tbe time given to han- tn their case. They deliver the baggage to the railway officials nnd take the check back to the person from whatn they received the baggage.

The great slmllnrity of baggage, of cQursc. was accountable for this trouble, but the Identification check bus served the purpose for which it was In­ troduced. The baggagemen have no more trouble with passengers coming in nnd endeavoring to locate their belong­ ings.

President 1 kept secret £ Interest in the forthcoming message is largely centered in what the President may nave to say <>n the subject of trust regulation. The Preaident will urge Con­ gress to consider tins subject carefully, with the. view to the enactment of legis­ lation which will regulate the trusts with­ out endangering the industries in which they ore engaged. He has already indicated that he will favor a constitutional amiWtuent, if such an amendment is necessary, to enable ^Congress to- act effectively. Ho linn been advised,- however, by such a capable law­ yer as Attorney General Knox that the necessary ■ power already exists, and he will recommend legislation along the lines of the Attorney General's Pittsburg speech. The message probably will refer to ibe strike in the anthracite mines apd to the progress being made toward nn adjust­ ment of the difficulties between the* mine workers and the mine owners. There will be nothing in the message savoring of the abandonment of the prin­ ciples of protection, but this will not jm> vent him from recommending the reduc­ tion. by direct enactment or by reciprocal agreements with foreign nations, of rates of duty which may no longer be needed for purposes of protection. It has been announced by sflnember of the cabinet that the message will favor such reductions, and that it will also urge the creation of a permanent commission which can at all times give expert con­ sideration to the needs‘of the government nnd of the varying interests, thus en­ abling it to make recommendations to Congress which will save the commit-* teen charged with the prepnratioh of revenue laws n great deal of labor nnd in­ sure a more intelligent framing of such Views on Currency Reform.

If the Presideut-jloea not sjH-ci lieally recommend such legisla­ tion in his message he probably will call the attention of Congress to the rerommrndations of the Secretary of the Treas'ury.

Edward Butler, whom a jnry found guilty of trying to bribe Dr. Chap" man. n member of the board of health in St Louis, to favor a city garbage con­ tract on which the millionaire politician sought to enrich himself. Thus another chapter is added to the sensational story of corruption in the municipal affairs of St. Louis. Cat Edward Butler was indicted by the grand jury April 5, when tho first thorough investigation of the boodle scan­ dal was made nnd a startling condition of things was brought to light. With But­ ler, John IL Becker was indicted on a charge of attempt to bribe and Roliert M. Snyder and George J. Kobusch were held by the grand jury for bribery and perjury respectively. It. M.

Troabtepf Coat Minora and Operator* Gets an Airing:—President Mitchell Make* on Exhaustive htatsment n< The commission appointed by Prwii-. dent Roosevelt to arbitrate the differ­ ences exbting between the anthracite mine workers and their employers Friday b?gnn the hearing of tke miner*' side of thr case nt Scranton, I’a. When the commission opened Ito ses­ sion the only evidence before it was the preliminary statement uf Mr. Mitchell and the replies thereto of the operators. Mr. Milchell in' an exhaustive state­ ment before, the arbiters made it clear thaj he would Insist on full recognition of the United Mine Workers’ organiza­ tion. He gave a ^powerful description of the life of a miner, picturing the hazard­ ous risks he was subject to und the fatal Inroads ob. hb Wealth from damp and •foul gases. The injustice of thr mine' owners never has’ been more strongly painted. Downright tibhoncsty is charg­ ed in their method of increasing tonnage, .while paying for the standard ton. The responsibility of organized labor is i»ointed out and most of the trouble is traced to the refusal of the railroads nnd min­ ing corporations to recognize these organ­ izations, while dealing unfairly with the individual. Hypocrisy b the charge lev­ eled against the cluim thnt the bitumin­ ous owners and tb<- antiiraclte men are in competition. Child work in the break­ ers aud the failure of education to reach the miners* children is deplored. The standard of living b tho test of civilizatioii, according to the union leader. That standard must be raised at the mines. Mr. Mitchell prefaced lib statement with the’ hope that the commission “would succeed in establishing n relation­ ship between the operators and tbe min­ er* that will insure pence and stability In the industry for an'indefinite period.’* He recited the cnnscs which led up to the ■trike, and then took up the question of wages. Tells of Conditiona. “Of the 147,000 men nnd boys employ­ ed,” he said. '’<4.072. or nbout 43 per cent, are employed <>n contract or piece­ work. the remaining 83,000 being employ­ ed by the honr, dny. week or mouth. Of thnt (14,072 contract uieu, 37304 are min­ ers and 2QJ2U8 are mine laborers.” Bearing on the wage question, he sjwkc of the miner's life. “He is engngi-'d in a more dangerous work than employment in any other important industry in the world. More men nre killed, each dny cn an average two persona giving up their lives to produce coal. If tbe miner es­ capes death or injury he canuot escaja* the deadly miners’ nsthtnn.

The workers in the bituminous roal fields and lu the silver, gold, copper end iron ore miners were instanced. The Increase of 20 per cent asked. Mr. Mitchell declared, would not be suffi­ cient to carry nn insurance policy of >1.000 for the widows nnd children. The speaker showed thnt the eighthour day demanded was the standard in tbe mines of Great Britain nnd in ail the mine* of Arkansas. Kansas, Missouri, lown, Illinois. Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky. Tennessee, western Pennsyl­ vania aud Xne Indian Territory. A pe­ culiar fact b that more coal is mined under this system than formerly produc­ ed with ten hours’ work n day. Calls Fay Syatem Dishonest. Coming to the method of spaying the workmen according to tonnage. Mr. Mitchell declared that until an honest sy»tern was adopted there could be no con­ tentment. "Paying for coal by the car. or by a ton weighing from 2,740 to 3,190 pounds, while n ton really consists of 2,240 pounds,” he said, “b a flagrant wrong. The car* have been made larger, more topping is required, and yet there has been n* corresponding increase paid per car or per ton. The plan of the mine owners in docking 500 to 1.000 pounds n car, on die pretense that the miners loaded impurities was bitterly commented on. “It is punishing the miner twice for the same offense,” said the speaker. (’ utjing to the recognition of the min­ ers’ union, the president grew eloquent. “We demand recognition.” he said, “be­ cause we know that permanent peace and friendly relations can be best main­ tained through a trade agreement with the organization which our'people have elected to join. Fully 90 per cent of the employes of the anthracite coal mines are tnembers of it from choice, they de­ sire to retain their membership in it. It was the United Mine Workers of Amer­ ica that conferred with the President of tbe United States in relation to the sub­ mission of the issues involved in the roal ■trike to this commission; it was the United Mine Workers of America that was requested by the President tn end the strike: it was the United Mine Work­ ers of America that dwlared the strike at an end; it was the United‘Mine Work­ ers that sent the men back to work, and It is the United Mine Workers of Amerlen that pledged to accept the award of thia commission.” Fnfe Blowers la Indiana.

It continues: It is th* exception when manufactur­ ing plants have not contracts assuring activity for many months, snd minus! inventories will be taken with difficulty, owing to importunate customers.

The decrease occurred in meat* and fuel, mainly.the latter. The only development of note 'at the Iron nnd steel market has been the 10 per cent reduction in price of tin plates, to take effect Dec. 1. While some change wus iiutlcipnted, the trade was not pre­ pared for so large, a cut. If the rerenk • lowering of price Ibts in certain sections of the market should ■timulhte foreign trade, there will be occasion for gratifi­ cation, as some exceptional export move­ ment is needed to offset tin- lienvy iiu Xof pig iron and billets.

No­ where has there been much competition for freight, for the railroads—overnurdened with business and obliged to refuse calls for cars every day. have not con­ cerned themselves us closely as usual nbout the distribution of tonnage at Com­ peting points. The inadequacy uf the railroad equipment of tbe country fur the handling of the business in its present enormous volume has been commented upon fur some time. The situation r.n the whole is gs bad now as it has ever been, while in particular localities it is worse. |low soon n change will come is a hard question. Railroad officials nre chary nbout making promises and do not hold out hope fur relief for some time yet. Corn and cotton will begin moving in greater quantity shortly, while, cold weather will mean urgent demand for more cool cars. A feature of great im­ portance was the disposition shown by the southwestern railroads to conciliate their employes, and while there han been little granted in tbe way of advances tn the wage scale, the roads will meet the men half way on any readjuatmeot prop» osition that is fair. The argument is heard that while the roads nre earning more money now thnu ever before, the high prices of everything thnt enters Into maintenance and new equipment are a serious drawback, that operating expenses are running propor­ tionately larger, and that the net earn­ ings arc not so large as would be inferred from the enormous business being han­ dled.

Where shocks are made of Unbound Codder it will be necessary to employ the aid of a horse for building them and they should be well tied with binder twine. Al­ most any device will answer for a horse around which to shock the coca Herewith is shown a device sent by a contributor for tying shocks that is very neces­ sary. After the shock is made as large as desired, the shaft of-this device ia thrust through the shock a little above tbe half way distance from the bottom to tbe top. the end of the rope is brought around the shock and the end passed over the smooth end of the •haft. By giving the handle a few turns the compass of the shock will be ro drawn that It can be easily tied. Shocks'.tied in this manner seldom get twisted or out of condition. For hauling In fodder, we have two designs. One'of theme Js an ordinary aled-llkc device that is easily construct­ ed and will be found very handy for hauling fodder. Lt will be found espe­ cially handy in loading fodder. Some use this sled for hauling nnd the •hocks are not torn apart in hauling, but are simply tipped over on tbe sled and hauled away In this manner. The other device consists in a peculiarly constructed rack to be placed on a low- wheeled wagon. By the aid of a sim­ ple derrick-like contrivance on the rear end of the wagon the shocks are easily lifted on the wngon and placed In a position on the load. We know of sev­ eral fanners who have used this de­ vice, and they pronoifnce It good. Many-aways can be provided for mak­ ing racks that will bo convenient for hauling fodder, and tb?se am only giv­ en as starters along this line.—Iowa Homestead. Winter Spraying of Fruit Tree*. The spraying of fruit trees during the winter should notbe neglected. Before the leaves start the trunk and every branch of the tree should be well spray­ ed with a solution of one pound of cop­ per sulphate In twenty-five gallons of water to check scab, codling moth, bird moth, tent caterpillar, canker worm, plum curculio nnd San Jose scale on apple trees, to be followed up after the blossoms fall by the regular Bordeaux mixture of four pounds each of sul­ phate of copper and lime tOfty gallons of water. Some prefer to use six pounds sulphate of copper instead of four pounds, but we are not sure thnt this is any belter than the other, while for peach trees that have put out tbeir leaves the use of three pounds of sul­ phate of copper to six or nine pounds of lime is thought strong enough for fifty gallons of water. But we are now speaking of a winter spray before thc leaves come out. The mixture of fifty pounds each of lime, salt and flowers of sulphur is used on the Pacific coast for the San Jose scale, but tn our East­ ern climate It does not seem to be as effectual, as the frequent rains wash it off. A mixture of pure lime made as a thto whitewash aud used on peach trees two or three times In the winter has been recommended as a spray that will keep the leaves and buds from starting early enough to t>e killed by the spring -firoats.—American Cultivator. Keeping Late Cabbar*. Late cabbage laid in shallow trenches roots up will keep well If not placed too close together In thr trench. Dig a trench about eight or ten Inches deep and two and a half lo three feet wide, putting some cross-pieces of wood in the bottom of tbe trench for some odd and end board* to rest upon, making a rough kind of platform, leaving a space of two or three Inches beneath. A little straw is spread over the boards and the cabbages are packed in bead down in {wo layers, the upper layer being placed (between the angles formed by the cab­ bages of the lower one.

The railroads to-day are lacs to fare with the gy-ab.-st car and power, or en­ gine. shortage in their history. It ia es­ timated By rouavrrative qnd expert tralflc men that the dtiiix|id for cars to mors thc traffic of the country which ie< how being offered for transportation is fully 00,000 in excess of the supply. As tbe weeks go by the shortage will undoubted­ ly increase rather than decrease until it reaches a point where every freight yard anti every freight house in the coun­ try fa blockaded with'traffic awaiting transportation fneilirire. Bo had has the situation become that a sudden i»criod of cold weather would almost paralyze the transportation facili­ ties of the entire country. Realizing the danger of thia, traffic and operating men are using almost superhuman efforts to relieve the situation and are hoping against hope. Thc facts with respect to the transportation facilities of tbe coun­ try and the amount of traffic of every de­ scription and class that fa being offered to public carriers are startling in theif significance, for in the traffic of the coun­ try fa mirrored n prosperity that is un­ precedented. Thc statistics regarding the movement of freight during the last two years are almost inconceivable and show as does nothing else the increasing prosperity in every branch of industry—a commercial. Industrial and manufacturing activity that is becoming the wonder of all na­ tions. When tbe average man la told that -during 1901 the railroads of tbe country transported or moved a total of over 1,000,000,000 tons of freight, for which they received over $1,000,000,000, and that they carried over 000,000.000 passengers, for which they received over $300,000,000. his mental facultlps arc stunned at the magnitude of these trahHactlona nnd he begins to realize that tbe United States is now the most pro«i>erous country in the world. These figures, large as they are. will be greatly exceed­ ed for 1D02, and those whose business it fa to keep a finger on the commercial nnd Industrial pulse of the country do not hesiftte to say thnt the increases In traffic of the last three yearn will be surpassed for several years to come, provided na­ ture does her part nnd there arc conse­ quently no crop failures. , BIQ BRIDGE IN FLAMES. . New Strncturo Over the East River DnmaKcd SOOO.OOO. Fire which caused an estimated dam­ age of $600,000 attacked tbe new East river bridge between New York City nnd Brooklyn nt dusk Monday night and burned over three hours in a spectacular manner. The fire was at the top of a skeleton steel structure X13 feet in the air. It was fed by twenty or more barrels of lu­ bricating oil, thousands of feet of lum­ ber ami a Jot of inflammable material for wrapping the big cables. The firemen faced almost insurmountable diflieuities in attempting to stop it. A torrent of sparks, blazing oil nnd timbers aud of white hot iron nnd steel fell for an hour or more down through the structure. What made a spectablc of imposing grandeur for everybody In sight of the great structure in Brooklyn aud Manhattan along the Enst river wat­ er front was a constant menace of horri­ ble death to the men who were trying to save the bridge from total destruction. Every bolt and iron beam and girder that fell from the top of the tower drop­ ped through the network of steel below with reverberating thunder like that of butteries of artillery. When the fire was at its worst these noises were so loud and so constant that men a block away could not hear each other. The falling missiles struck girders at every angle and glanced off in all direc­ tions, landing in tbe streets near by, <>n tho piers, and far out in the river. /ni l FM Hamilton College, Clinton, N.

The sensation he experienced was though he iu wme way shared the humil­ iation. CHAPTER X. As Arthur Mayberry turned awsy^ he almost stumbled against a man who was hastening on rapidly. The mon did not pause to see the person he jostled against, but Mayberry stood *till. It was Jackeon Gripp. Gripp was out of sight almost before Mayberry recovered from hia surprise. It was odd—very strange that Atherton should be in that place at that time <>/ the day—it was stranger to find Gripp evidently, following the ironworker. But now another curious circumstance attracted Mayberry’s attention. A Tom­ an encountered Gripp at a street co,-njr. Mayberry could see her turn to him nnd reach out her hand, hs if she would de­ tain him, but Gripp thrust her aside roughly and disappeared. The woman acted like one dazed. May­ berry saw her put up a hand to her head helplessly, and look after the scrap deal­ er. Then she approached a shop win­ dow, and stood like one who was collect­ ing her ideas. When Arthur Mayberry, animated by sheer curiosity, approached and passed this woman, he tbo'^Tht he recognized in her a woman he had inet somewhere, where, he could not remember. And now he was resolved to tonrn who this i»or creature was. Poor she un­ doubtedly was, nnd sickly. She had a hacking rough that sounded like a pre­ cursor of death. The woman finally 'decided upon her c-iurne: she made her way slowly to an obscure *l—et, and entered ah unlighted hallway. The house was occupied by tenants, who relpt rooms. Mnybctry made n note of the-place, nnd entered a small newsstandh near the bouse. “Who lives in the old brick above b©re —the one with the porch?’ he said in a matter-of-fact manner to. the proprietor. "Thye’s half a dozen families there now." "I mean the responsible person." “Oh! the old pie vender—Quigley." "Thnt'* bis wife the woman with the scar on thi left temple?' "That! I’ll never tell you who she is. We call bf-r the woman who mind* her own businMS. I’ve seen her pas* here a thousand times, and I never saw her speak to a soul. Nor nobody else hns, I reckon. They say she makes her living picking up a bit ot sewing, doing house cleaning—she don’t look very stout toss­ ing—nnd 1 guess, from her appearance, she is half starved. She don't look like as if she'd bother the world long." A figure passed the little shop door. Mayberry glanced out. The figure was that of Mr. Jackson Gripp. Mayberyy stepped back in the shadow of the open d<H>r. standing -where, he ot-uld observe' Mr. Gripp's movement*, all the while keeping up a running conversntion with the shop keeper, who was a gossip in male attire. Gripp looked up and down the street. ’There were thred or four workmen rpprojching.‘carrying their dinner pail* in their hands. Gripp turned his face from them; when they passed him he looked up a,nd down the street again, then walk­ ed suddenly, with long strides, to the solitary house. When Mayberry bad© the proprietor good eveniag and ateppod out into the street, Mr. Gripp had disappeared from Mayberry could have taken his oath Gripp ha<J entered the dark hallway. He walked to the next crossing, keeping an eye on the old building, crossed the street, returned on the op]»oaite ride, and looked up. There- was a cheap transparent curtain in an upper window. The light in the room was dim. but Mayberry in'that swift upward glance fancied he beheld the shadow—an exaggerated shadow—of a man’s hand upraised menacingly. The hand was brought down with a >>uddenness, just as Mayberry’s eye fell on the curtain, that caused him' to doubt wheth­ er he had seen aright. He stood there looking up. It was now growing dark, and his actions would not attract atten­ tion. Yes—there could be na doubt now. There was the shadow of a hand on the curtain. The band was clenched. It was lifted quickly, and as quickly descended. Then a blurred object—the figure of a man moving rapidly—was thrown clearly against the curtain, and then the curtain became as dear as it was before. It re­ mained dear. Mayberry was impressed with th©4 thought that the shadows he had seen revealed a tiagic page in real The hand he had beheM uplifted was Gripp'd hand. It w*s raised to give force to the blows aimed at ths poor, sickly woman, who had accosted him on the street. Mayberry stood there many minutes. Possibly five or ten. He hoped he would see Gripp emerge from the hallway, but the hallway gave forth no sounds. At last, weary of sraiting, Mayberry left the spot and went home. But all the way he beheld the thin, white face of the thin-clad woman in black, with a scar on her left temple, • Who was she? What was she to the respectable Jackson Gripp? Why did he scrutinise the passers-by, and wait until these poverty .stricken premises? These were questions Arthur Mayberry propounded to himself a* he quickened hi* step* homeward, for it was now long after hto usual h©ur to sop. (To be continued.) HJ« Objection.

The person running It was not especially cleanly and I became so disgusted that I decided to purchase one of my own. Cider intended for vinegar should l>e put in clean barrel^, which'have not been used for anything etoe. Old vine­ gar barrels will answer fairly well, but , it is advisable to burn sulphur In them a few days before they are to be used, then rinse out thoroughly. New bar­ rels, of course; are beat. Cldter should never be put in a barrel whlci has held oil or anything but cider or vinegar. When the cider is to be kept for vine­ gar, the barrels should be placed In the upper story of a barn or fruit house. There they will be practically free from the little borer which makes holes in the barrels and causes cider to leak out Where only a few barrel* are made, nnd no house.Js available, simply put the barrels on blocks under a tree. Cov­ er the bung with a piece of cheese­ cloth or .muslin, agitate every few days by rolling the barrel backward nnd for­ ward. By the middle of the next sum­ mer, or at least by autumn, the cider will have turned Into first class vinegar.

It may seem strange for a poultry­ man to interpose any objection to the high prices that prevailed throughout the past year for eggs, and yet, iu one respect at least, it has not been an unalloyed blessing. Last spring very many of us yielded to the temptation of turning our eggs into ready cash instead of putting them in an incu­ bator. or under hens. The result Is a very perceptible shortage of fowls. The Indications are that eggs will be still higher this winter than last year. The storage houses are short and all provisions rule high.

Outward Chunjjca. The expenditure <>.f £500.000 might be expected to make a notable alteration in its appearance. Bnt the outward evi­ dence is found principally in the addition of the wings which' run east nnd west from the main building. At I he termi­ nus of the west wing is the executive office of the President, tbc now building which the President occupied Inst week for the first time. A jmrtiuu «>f the wing leading to the President's office is really the remodeled-foundation of the old con­ servatory of the White House. The top of tbe couserrafary .was removed and tie lower portion was allowed to remain and to be converted into n terrace. Tbc south portion of the terrace will contain a colonnatje and in the lower portion will be five or six rooms for the laundry nnd domestic purposes of the White House. Some of the rooms may be used for s<r-( vant«’ quarter* if desired. The Presi­ dent uses the walk along the colonnade in going to and from his house to the office. He has nothing to do but go right out of the lower part of tbc White House, down the west colonnade of the west ter­ race and through a small hallway into his office. His movements will be abso­ lutely private. uLknown to any one. A feature of this colonnade, as well as that of the cast terrace, will be a beauti­ ful balustrade. The terrace has para­ pet walls alwut twN> and a half feet high, forming a balustrade of unusual attrac­ tion. The parapet walls of the balus­ trade will be adorned with electric lights The north side antftnees bereafter will be for the family only ««»d guests of an entirely personal nnd private nature. A great deal of money 1ms been spent in making over the historic rooms that have been 't^en to the public from time imme­ morial. But in addition ‘o this there bns been thousands of dollars expended in the underpinning and foundations where it cannot be seen by the public. This was rendered necessary by the insecure condition of the building, which for Mine time has been a source of concern t«? those who were acquainted with it, and which made it m-cessary R» exercise great precaution nt public receptions nnd other functions where large crowds flocked to the White House. The living rooms of the President'* family have all been gone over and the gloomy old house has been made habitable for those who by custom nre compiled to lire in it for terms of four years at a time.

The loss, estimated by Charles W. Ix*nnon. manager of the company, was total, or $900,000. The cause of the fire, Mr. Lennon na’d, was either spontaneous com­ bustion or an imperfect drier. There was $721,500 insurance on the property. Six hundred men will be thrown out t-f work all winter by the fire, but Manager Ixmnon says a larger plant will be built. The fire was discovered by a watdiman of the building, who only a few min­ utes before hnd pulled a messenger Ik>x on tbe floor where the flames started. Quickly the plant'* private fire depart­ ment wns called out. The city depart­ ment was then calk'd nnd every local fireman was soon at work.

The pent-up fires la rome reminded one >.£ slumbering volcanoes, while the glare of others blinded lhe workmen. Score* of workmen were stirring the depths of the. puddling furnace*. Work­ men here and there mopped their" faces, bare arms and shoialders. The great rolls,.-glistening in the light of the furnaces, revolved continuously as the finishers tossed the hot bars between them, to be snapped up and whirled writhing through them like enormous rep­ tiles in their death agony. The clang of iron falling pa the cootrag plates, the ahonta of the workmen, and the roar of Che titan-Hkc machinery filled the air as the mill took in pig metal, weighed, broke and melted it, ixrilcd it In the furnaces, vomited the metal out in huge ballc which_.were caught in the jaws of tht “sqm-ezers,” aqueexcS Into billets, which were reheated, and passed through great and small rolls, and tossed out and straightened on the cooling plates.

He led the way Into his private room, and awaited the manager’s communica­ tion in silence. Gnmmltt cleared his throat.' 1 "It’s about Atherton. His furnace—’’ "Sam,” said the mill owner dryly, “If it is about Atherton—nothing else—make it as short as possible.” But Gumgritt was a thick-headed and bull-headed man. He bad conceived the idea since they had made him manager that he was a very valuable man, in­ deed, and one the owner* could not easily dispense with, and he presumed upon this to express an opinion when he ought to have remained silent. "I must apeak. Unless I do, he’ll think he can do as he pleases. He is cross this morning, and. refused to repair—that is, he won’t shut his, furnace down to-day and let me have it fixed.” "Why not wait till to-morrow?” "Because I want to put my best foot foremost, and get things in shape as soon as possible. The furnace ought to be overhauled, but Atherton wants to run the week out, and let the bricklayers do it Saturday. It's sheer stubbornness. Mr. Meeker, and a bad example to permit.” “O, I wouldn’t notice Atherton. I hare • reason of - my own, Sam. Anything else?’ "Yes. but I’ll wait until this gentleman speaks to you.” This gentleman proved to be Mr. Gripp. Mr. Gripp’s manner was always defer­ ential to his superiors and his equals. To his inferiors he waa overbearing, tart, brusque, and often brutal. Now he was as smooth as oil. He stepped for; ward, rubbing his hands, as the manager turned to Mayberry, who looked curi­ ously at Gripp. "Are you prepared to take that lot of old rails I spoke of, Mr. Meeker?” “I am not sure.” "That’s a fine lot of tenants you have down there in the bottom," said one of Mr. Meeker’s partners suddenly. The partner was sitting in a corner reading a morning paper. "Why?" demanded Meeker, turning half round. * “When they 'have nothing else to do, they murder each other. Here’s half a column in the paper about it. A very mysterious affair it seems to be.” Mayberry's eyes were fixed on Gripp’s face. Gripp was a* unconcerned appar­ ently as though the news related wholly to the affairs of another planet. “They are not toy tenants,” said Meek­ er. “That was never my property. It belonged to one of my brothers years ago. Who was murdered—and where was the crime committed?” Again Mayberry’s gaxc was riveted on Gripp’s face. "In a house crowded with a rough lot of people—old offenders, some of them. Brick—stands alone—three-story. A woman either suicided or was murdered —case a little mixed. The coroner’s jury will determine it." . “I may conclude ffitottled, then, I sup­ pose, Mr. MeekerT’ said Gripp in hla oili­ est tone. "One minute, Gripp. How is that? A woman murdered. Who is she?” "Why. that's the most mysterious part of it She seems to have had two or three names—fine material for a dime novel ia the account panfished." "Any grounds tor believing a murder warcommitted T' "Rather vague, I should say. You can determine for yourself. Simply a chain of inferences." "Well," said Mr. Meeker, with a sigh of relief, "I’m glad it’s only inference. I never can read—or heare-of the murder of a woman, Gripp, without wishing I could Uy my hands on her murderer and help to hang him on the spot.” "A very natural feeling—quite nat­ ural," said Gripp. “Yes—I guess you may’ send the lot over. Mayberry, make out a check for the amount, and give it to Mr. Gripp." And then the mill owner turned to the manager. "What Is it, Gtxmmltt?” "I’D see you later in the day. I must go into the mill now,” the manager re­ plied. Hi* face was very pale; his voice sound­ ed strange to Mayberry and the mill own­ er. Mayberry wondered at the extra­ ordinary change that had come over the new manager. If it had been manifested by Gripp, he could have understood it. But Why the mill manager should betray agitation was strange indeed. Mayberry turned to his desk again, made out a check for the amount due Gripp, aad was in the act of handing the cheek to him when Gripp said: "I had better receipt for it first." Mayberry waa so preoccupied that he had departed from hi* usual practice and the urn versa I custom. But the manner In which Gripp reminded him of the unin­ tentional oversight angered him. He was •n the point of replying, when ha recon•tdersd, returned Gripp’s look with one that gentleman altogether misunderstood. Mod passed him the receipt book. A* Gripp leaned over the desk to sign his name. Mayberry's glance fell upon the Writ of Gripp’s neck.

The annual production of 25,000,000 gallons allows but a third of a gallon for each iuhablt.fnt. which is sufficient for about ten- days’ needs. Choice home-made syrup is much ap­ preciated.

An economi­ cal way to provide the necessary stor­ age is by the covcred.ditch plan. Dig a trench or trenches in well-drain­ ed soil, not more than four feet wide and about two feet deep. Put a board partition through the center of the trench to divide tbe mass of celery and prevent it becoming too solid. Rafters of 2x4 stuff are set at 1-3 pitch four feet apart.

In my. message to the present Congress at its first session I discussed at . length tbe question uf the regulation of those big corporations commonly doing an inter­ stat* baainess. often with some tendency to monopoly, which are popularly known as trust*. The experience of the past year bus emphasized, in my opinion, the desirability of the steps 1 then prop-Med. A fundamental requisite of social effi­ ciency is a high standard of individual energy and excellence; btii this is in no wise inconsistent with power to act in combination fur aims which cannot so well be achieved by the individual acting alone. A fundamental base of cirilizaiioi. is the Inviolability of properly; but this is in uo wise inconsistent with the right of society to regulate the exercise cl tbe artificial powejm which it confers up­ on the owners of property. under the name of corporate franchises, in such a way as to prevent the misuse of these powers. . Corporation*, nnd especially combinations of corporatiuu*. should be managed under public regulation. Expe­ rience has shown that under our system of government tbe necessary supervision cannot be obtained by State action, it must therefore be achieved by national action. Our aim is nut to do away with corporations; ou the contrary, these big aggregations are an inevitable develop­ ment of tnodrjm industrialism, and the effort to destroy them would Iw futile un­ less accomplished in ways that ooui! work the utmost Blbchi^f. to tbe entire body politic. We arc not hostile to them: we are merely determined that they shall be so bandied aa to subserve tbe public good. Publicity can do no hnnn t« th* honest corporation; aud we need not be PRESHtENT THEODORE ROOSEVELT. meat we are helpless In tbe presence of the new conditions, and unable to grap­ ple with them or to out out whatever uf evil has arisen in connection with them. Tbe power of the Congress lo regulate interstate commerce is an absolute and unqualified grant, and without limita­ tions other than those prescribed by the constitution. ' — 1 believe that monopolhm. unjust dis­ criminations. which prevent or cripple competition. fraudulent overcapitaliza­ tion. and other evils iu trust organiza­ tions and practice* which injuriously af­ fect interstate trade can be prevented un­ der the power of tbe Congress to "regulate-commerce with foreign nations mid among the several States” through regu lations and requirements operating di­ rectly upon such commerce. the instrdmentalities thereof, aud those engaged therein. I earnestly recommend this subject to the consideration of the Cungres* with a view to the passage of a law reasonable iu it* provisions nnd effective in its op­ erations. Ufion which the questions can be finally adjudicated that now raise doubts as to the necessity of coiixtitiiii<ut*l amendment. If it prove ini(>oKsit»k- to accompHsb the purpose* above set forth by such n law. then, araureuiy. we should not shrink from amending the constitu­ tion so as to secure beyond perad ven­ ture the power sough- the wisdom of the protective tariff prin­ ciple. it is exceedingly undesirable tbnt this system should be destroyed or that there should be violent and radical changes therein. Our past experience shows that great prosperity in this coun­ try bus always come under a protective tariff: and that the country cannot pros­ per under fitful tariff change*. at short intervals. Moreover, if the tariff laws as a whole work well., and if buaitiM* has prospered under them and is pros­ pering. it is better to endure for a time, slight iucunvfaiienees nnd inequalities in some R-bv-lule* than to upset business by too quick and too radical changes. .It i* moat earnestly to lie wished that we could treat the tariff front the standpoint solely «>f our business needs. Unquestion­ ably .these business interests will best be served if together with fixity nf principle ns regards the tariff we combine n sys­ tem which will permit Its from time to time to make the neewwiry reapplicntiou of the principle-tv the shifting national needs. We must take scrupulous < are tbnt the reappligatiou shall tie made in such a way that it will not amount tn r. dislocation of our synetn. the mere threat <d which (not to speak of the perform­ ance) would produce paralysis in the bualne** energies of the community.

The floor of the Senate wmi a veritable garden of. Sowers, chry­ santhemums, rooes and-violets, spreading their fragrance through the chnmix>r. Mony of the floral pii-ces were tuagnificent and hid the desks from view. Instead^ of the customary black drap­ ery there waa placed on the desk former­ ly occupied by the late Senator McMillan a sheaf of, bridal rosea and palms'tied with white satin ribbon.

"In the industrial progress made by the United States during recent years there has been no Inure conspicuous fea­ ture than the growth of agriculture,’’ say* Secretary of Agriculture Jam«s Wilson in hi* annual report to the Presi­ dent He gives figure*, mainly taken from the last census, to prove his state­ ment. The amount of fixed capital invested in agriculture is about $2»>,OlM),0(Xl.OOO. or four times the amount invested in manu­ factures. More than half of the people of the United States live on farms, and more than a third of nil the people en­ gaged in gainful occupations on farms. In one year the products of American farms lurte reached" an aggre­ gate value of nearly $5,000,000,000. American brains applied to American farms is what is causing the volume of our farm exports to continue steadily on the increase, according to the Secretary, and he sees the greatest hope for'‘the future. "The science of agriculture,” he says, "ia in rudimentary stages in oil lands. The education of producers from the field, so long neglected, has recently been undertaken in earnest in the Unit­ ed States. Our government is doing more for the farmer than all other nations combined. Results are justifying <-x|K.-nditurea. and the future will still further show the value of science applied to the farm.” ' Secretary Wilson’s display of the work of bls department during the past year is almost bewildering, so many fields of investigation doos It. describe. It makes a volume of 121 pages, and there is hard­ ly a page that does not report on at least two or thre. different enterprises under­ taken In the search fcr facta that will enable agriculture to be more successful­ ly carried on. One. method of aiding the fartnera which the Secretary is most anxiops to avail himself of is the distribution pf daily weather forecasts through nil the rural free delivery postal routes. Of the 10,000 routes the department has l»oen able to send forecasts over only 1.000. but the service has been so appreciated that an appropriation of $100,000 is ask­ ed to extend 1L .

Tour of lK« Holiday Head­ quarters, and Finds Nashville Merchants Amply Prepared. ft has come to,be conceded that Nashville is the biggest and best holi­ day town of Its size in the state of Michigan, and every succeeding year seems to increase lit popularity among the holiday buyers of Barry and Eaton counties. At no place in all this territory do the merchants make such holiday displays as do those of Nash­ ville, and their efforts are rewarded by buyers coming considerable distances to avail themselves of the remarkable offerings made here. Each year the ra­ dius of our holiday trade has increas­ ed, and many buyers come who. have heretofore done their Christmas strop­ ping elsewhere, for the reason that they can have an assortment to select from.here such as can be found only in the larger cities of the state. The News has been busy during lhe past week inspecting the various stocks, and we find that the displays this year are much larger and.better than ever before, and that active buying has al­ ready commenced. The result of our investigations, as given below, will be found of valuable aid in making your selections of purchases. Take your list of persons whom you desire to remem­ ber with some token of lhe season, and by perusing the lists given beiow Jou will be certain to find something eautiful' and appropriate for cacli and every one, and will be apt to say to yourself, "Why, that’s the very thing; why didn’t I think of that be­ fore?” We have done lhe week of "looking” for you: all that now re­ mains for you to do is the buying. lar odors, toilet sets and toilet articles. dolls and doll heads in endless pro­ fusion. Purses, pocket boons and wal­ lets, in all kinds of leather, and at the whole gamut of prices; some excep­ tional bargains are to be found in this line. In the book department may< be found al! the standard authors, the classics, and everything attainable in the book lino, from a child’s picture book.to a world atlas. ,In the line of bibles, the assortment is perfect: the finest of teachers' bibles, in best of bindings, at very moderate prices. All the popular games, including crokinolo, carom and combinolu boards, ping-pong, flinch, etc., will be found here at lowest prices. In lhe toy line, this store always over-shadows competition. They have everything new in the line of mechan­ ical toys, electric motors and dyna­ mos, hoi-air engines, tool chests, d rums, magic lanterns, games, etc., and at verylow prices. Call on Foote A Furniss when making your holiday rounds, and you will not be disappointed. O. M. MCLAUGHLIN. At this store one is always made to feel at home and is ' ’seldom ’‘ not finding disappointed in Mr.------------McLaughlin what ne calls for. ----„ reports a very busy and prosperous vear and.a steady increase of businfess. Genial and obliging, plain-spoken and honorable—his customers become per­ manent friends of the store. Call when you may- you will find him and his clerks waiting on customers, not in­ frequently on people who have come ten or fifteen miles to trade with this well known and reliable firm. We can't imagine where one could find a more sensible and appropriate Christmas present than in this popular and busy store—such as a nice pair of driving gloves, dress gloves, all kinds of mittens, very beautiful neckties, Harvard muffiers, cuffs, collars and collar buttons, fancy socks, Way’s mufflers to^ keep the chest warm, sweaters for men and boys, hats, caps, fancy suspenders, umbrellas, hand­ some slippers, best line of shirts we ever saw, beautiful '-©ques, nice warm overcoats that make every man wish he had one, ulsters, duck coats, rubberized coate, silk handkerchiefs, fancy cotton handkerchiefs, high gait­ ers for ladies and children and low gaiters for gents, tam-o’shanters for gi^ls. Well! well! to sum it all up, you can fit a man or boy from bead to foot in lhe height of fashion for a very small sum of money. Fine cloth­ ing, underwear, bools, shoes, over­ shoes, rubber boots, suspenders and everything else that a dressy man re­ quires to complete his toilcL Mc­ Laughlin feels pretty good over the patronage he has been accorded dur­ ing the past year and says that he in­ tends to lay himself out full length to accommodate biscustomers Christmastide and announces hie place of bus­ iness as head quarters for Santa Claue this* yfear. The "Old fellow” promises to'be on hand with some­ thing good for everybody. GLASGOW. All Christman buyers visit Glas­ gow's mammoth furniture 'rooms, whether they expect to purchase fur­ niture or not, as they know that It will be a feast for the eyes, and in no other way can they keep so well posted on furniture styles. We notice the very latest things in chairs, rockers, couchex, tables, stands, sideboards, dining chairs and tables, bedroom suites, chiffoniers, dressing tables, mirrors, pictures, easles, fancy pieces and everything else in the furniture line. Sales for the Ttolidays have already commenced, and in addition to the loads of furniture being delivered every day, many elegant pieces are already marked “sold.” His enor­ mous sales enable him to keep bls stock right up to date, and also to get the very .lowest prices, and his cus­ tomers get the benefit. In the hardware department will be found preUy much the same slate of affairs as prevails in the furniture morns; Here will be found everything good sense and good taste can expect to find In a hardware stock in line for lhe holiday . season including carpet sweepers, lard presses. roasters, silver-plated knives and .forks, tea and table spoon?, Rochester nickel tea and coffee pots, crumb trays, shears, razors, pocket knives, skates, hand sleds, plush and hair robes, and the same promptness and careful attention to the wants of the customers is notic­ able as in the other side of the house. That Is one of the things which ac­ counts for the remarkable success of this institution. E. B. TOWNSEND A CO. As we stepped into this clean, fresh grocery store our words fail us to de­ scribe its beauty. Everything was in in its proper place and the genial pro­ prietor and force of clerks ready at all times to accommodate the public. Their customers last year are their customers this year. They are preparing to give their patrons their usual magnificent display of goods suitable for the holi­ days, commencing with a line of china anil fancy crockery unsurpassed in quality and daintiness. Everything in this line will be found here together with beautiful ware in dinner and tea sets, in exclusive and opep patterns. The display of lamps will suit the most particular buyer, not only in ele­ gance and beauty but in fairness of price. Water sets and other pretty glassware will be found in abundance, as well as jardlnlers and fancy pieces in the heavier line. In the line of fancy groceries, no house in Nash­ ville’carries so large and well-selected a line. The shell display in canned and bottled goods is most templing, and you can find here the ingredients for all of lhe fancy holiday dishes, salad, etc., with raisins, figs, fruits, pickles, relishes, and all lhe necessary seasonings and flavorings to make the Christmas dinner perfect, ana it can’t be a merry Christmas without that part of it. If you give this establish­ ment your order, your wishes will be promptly and carefully attended to.

That day was Christmas. On that day they could expect wonder­ ful new presents, they knew, from a mys­ terious person called Santa Clans The late Mrs. Howard had cultivated this <»ne dear delusion in them, and so perfectly that they never dreamed that either she or their father had anything to do with the annual midnight visit of tbe good litfle f°t man.

He resolved that he would take charge of tbe holiday himself, and the preparations he made for it were extravagant.

There were 3,731 "fores" (smgek loads) brought to Boston, says a writer in Success. Of these 203 camo from the eastern banks. At Glouces­ ter, 3,782 "fares" were landed, of which G08 wore from the sastern banks. On the Pacific coast the catch amounted to 217,965,150 pounds, tbe value of which was $6,278,639. The capital Invested .there amounted to nearly $13,000,000 and 20,000 people found employment Ln the business. For the sake of comparison, tt may be worth telling that the fresh water lakes, which Uncle Sam also culti­ vates. yielded 113,728.040 pounds of fish, worth $2,611,482, while the Mis­ sissippi and lt« tributaries produced’ 94,713,402 pounds, valued at $1,771,-^ 812.

Irregularity is reported in tbe iron and steel market, most departmepts having muck buainess. while a few are seeking new orders and seem disposed to make slight conccaaioDs. Stability is naturally most conspicuous in those divisions where in cases of extreme . pressure and high premiums for early delivery the imports that have been attracted hithtig have a demoralizing influence. In view of the scarcity of coke it is uot easy for domes­ tic producers to meet this foreign comp**tition, and when any material reduction Is made it may be found that foreign concerns also will cut prices. That far, however, only a slight tendency is noted in the direction of cheaper iron, and in such products as steel rails and structural material the consumer cannot hois* for early concessions. As it is well known that much business l« held back by high prices, there is no prospect of dullness in the near future. Any decided reduc­ tion of quotations would bring out tbeae jwstponed orders.

Official Trials of Adder and Moccasin Result Favorably. Maj. Arthur Murray and Ckpt. C. J. Bailey and G. F. Landers of the artillery corps of the army have made a apodal report to the War Department in regard to the recent official trials of the subma­ rine torpedo boats Adder nnd Moccasin in Little Peconic bay, which they were invited to witness. The report says that these trials are thought to be sufficient to show clearly that this type of submarine boat has passed the experimental stage, and that such boats hereafter must be taken into account as a practical and use­ ful element of seacoast defense.

The bill then went over until Thursday. Mr. Lodge then called up the Immigration bill. An Amendment "by Mr. McCatmbcr (X.

To avoid colds we are warned to beware of drafts. Wet feet, sudden changes of temperature, nnd so forth, nnd the advi .excellent. Hut exixtaure of this kind Is not tfie sole cause, for if It were, a ■wetting or a chill would always be fallowed by a c$ld. and that, we all know. Is not tbe case. Cold in the head Is nn Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the UQse produced by bacteria. What these bac­ teria are. and whether It Is always the same kind that produces a cold, are questions that have not been settled. Some, at least, of them are probably always present in the air of our houses or the dust In tbe open air. So It cannot be the germs alone that cause a cold, otherwise we should never be tree from one. . The germ. of any disease is lhe same as a seed; ft will grow aud multiply If planted In suitable soil, but not other­ wise. So the germ er germs of a cold will not grow In a healthy nose; the mucous membrane of the nose must be prepared by some local or general cause which weakens its power of resistance. This may. be a local disturbance of tbe blootf-supply. caused by a chilling of the surface of the body, or Irritation by the Inhalation of dust or of strong fumes, or it may Im* some influence which depresses the general system and makes It vulnerable to. the attacks of the microbes. Such Inflpcnces may be fatigue, mental anxiety, loss of sleep and the like, but perhaps more often self-poisoning by the waste products In the body which nre absorbed Instead of being promptly eliminated.

I The most remarkable religious j partnership of modern times cause an end the other day when Rev. Ui ace Morrill, one of the famous ”11 Morrill twins,” died in n Nebnis town. The "Rev. Morrill twins,"I they called themselves, were known almost every city and tdwn In the V ted States, throughout a large pari Europe nnd in Canada. They were jahirly ordained Baptist ministers n| early took np evangelIzation woi They tailored for a time in the alm of New Y^rk, becoming particular Interested In water »nt mission work, Then they worked » luon£j the sailors of Liveri>oo! and of o**jEnglish *eaports.

If not ex­ actly elegant, was nt least forceful. The twins called themselves evangelOlhers. have called them crusndmlsslonnrles, and by other names polite nnd with n different uiean. That they were different from the ordinary run of evangelists they never disputed. They rather gloried in the fact. It was to their peculiarity that they owed a great deal of their success, for their meetings were entertainments of a rare kind. The Morrill twins were as much alike as two peas. Persons who lived with ns they went; they built the "Gospel Ship” out of their own funds, nnd they frequently, fed the poor at dinners given in the unique boat-like church. This Ironclad vessel was rigged out in complete style. Flags floated from the mastheads, lamps swung on the bridge, the bells were struck Just the same as If the boat had been plowing through the water Instead of being an­ chored fast on a Carroll avenue lot. The smoke from the stoves inside pour­ ed through the smokestacks, and light streamed out through j>ortholes. . The boat had a beam of 25 feet and a length To this ship came hundreds of peo­ ple. Rowdies sometimes swooped down on tbe place and turned it into a bedlam. Others enme to sing and pray. The Morrill twins were there to do the preaching, lend the singing, aud run -the talking machine and the stere:optlcon. Twice the boat wns act on fire, twice It was robbed. In the hold of the land-faring vessel were stored two Winchester rifles that the twins used at Baraboo, Wls., to defend themselves against the mob that tried to drive them from the town. These firearms were among their treas­ ures. They always kept them In plolu view during services, not with the In­ tention of using them, but because they were proud of them ns relics of the Baraboo riot. J In preaching the Morrill twins bad a way that was al! their own. If slang suited their purpose they used it, nnd some of their language was much stronger than slang.

Few people who read in the newspa­ pers the d^pntchea from Manila realize what a circuitous route the words have taken. A message from Manila now goes through India, the Suez canal, Mediter­ ranean sea, Portugal. England and New­ foundland. Seventeen relays are passed, yet with nil this wtfrk dispatches hate been sent lhe long distance In less than an hour. In 1896 nn experiment was made. Chauncey Depew sent a message 35.UG0 miles in less than nn hour. This message was transmitted from New York via Chi­ cago to San Francisco (4,100 miles), to Canso, N. 8.. via Vancouver (4.900 miles), via (,’ommcrcinl cables (2.800 miles) to London, to Land’s End (250 milesi. to Lisbon.

Thus, ndding the dis­ tances from Ldncton to Tokyo, we have 13.677 miles, returning to London, we have 27/154 miles, plus the distance to London via Vancouver we reach the enor­ mous distance of 32,754 miles, plus the distance London returning to New York we have roughly 35,000 miles. Lake Claims 1+0 Victims. In the navigation season of 1002 140 lives were lost on the five great lakes. This is the largest death harvest record­ ed. Last year the number wns 132. In 1900 there were 110 persons drowned, and in 1880 the list numbered an even hundred. Prior to that year less than a hdhdred persons were lost on the lakes each season. Statistics show that Lake Michigan ^as tbe safest of the lakes this year. Lake Erie leads with fifty-nine. Lake Superior comes next with forty. Lake Ontario with five, Lake Huron twenty-two nnd Lake Michigan fourteen. Ten sailors were lost in Detroit and Sk Clair rivers. The death of Luke McLaughlin of Muscatine.

At the ■ hearings ou the immigration bill by the Senate committee on immigra­ tion a willingness was manifested on part of important witnesses to submit to the elimination of the provision for ah educational test should such action! prove necessary to* . secure the succeM of the bill. Commis­ sioner General of Immigration Frank Sargent spoke espe­ cially of the uedeasity for increased vigilance on the Mexican frontier nnd said that he re­ cently had secured information by per­ sonal observation of the smuggling into this country of a large number of the most' undesirable element of Mexico, peons, who were willing to work at from 25 cents to 35 cents per day. These peo­ ple, he said, were fed from troughs, aa hogs might be, and were treated Just as slaves. * Mr. Sargent declared there is now in this country plenty of labor at the proper remuneration. Land frauds in Nebraska nn<J other Western States.led to the introduction of bills by Seuator Quarles of Wiscon­ sin afid Representative I’owers of Mas­ sachusetts repealing the timber and ktone act. the desert land act and the commu­ tation clause of the homestead act. The frauds are made possible by violating these laws. Seventy million acres of public laud have passed from government •into private control during the last five years. Millions of acres have been ab­ sorbed in' Western States, where there hns been no corresponding increase in population. Oklahoma and the Dakotas are notable exceptions, as the immigralion of homeseekers into these States has been large. Cattle men nnd sheep men, financed by their local banks and through the packing house combinations in Chi­ cago, are hiring ftersons in droves to file homestead, timber nnd desert land claims along their illegal fence lines. Every person filing a claim for that purpose violates the law. but the laws have be­ come a dead letter. When President Roosevelt created the anthracite coal strike commission, it look­ ed as though its members were about en­ tering on a wholly thankless task, which would require a good deal of hard work while yielding no compensation beyond, of course, the purely philanthropic honor of bringing to an end an industrial situa­ tion that was becoming intolerable. Tho President's act was not .official nnd there­ fore was outside the law. Now, however, Congretfis is appropriating $50,000 to de­ fray the expenses of the commission. The federal employes, who are members of the board- or who nre attached to it as recorders, nre to receive no salary, but will be allowed $15 n day for expensed. The non-federnl members nre to receive $6,(KX) iu salary. And thus membership tn the commission is not such a thankless task after all. Canada.

So far this' year the factory has made more than 0,000,000 pounds of sugar, which exceeds the amount produced at this time last season This increased Jiroduction Is -accounted for from the act that the factory started earlier than last year and because the beets are richer in sugar than a year ago.
