CHURCH. ■‘Ring °°l the old: ring In the new." It is only once in a hundred years that people have the opportunity of watching the death of an old century and the birth of a new one, and it was characteristic of the Women’s Club of our city to plan an entertainment that, was fitting to celebrate such an unusual occasion. • The members and invited guests to the number of 250. gathered at the City Hall at 9:30, and found the big, bare looking council rooms had been transformed by screens, bunting and various other accessories into a most acceptable meeting place with ample room for all. The clubs handsome new piano was in place, and demon­ strated its practical value. The pro­ gram opened with a fine selection by the Schubert orcliestra, whose ex­ cellent work has already been men­ tioned in our columns, After a few words of welcome by the president Mrs. Ellen E. Robinson. Mrs. Geneva Hayes appeared in a sketch entitled “The Bewildeded President” repre­ senting in her inimitable way the trials and trbulations experienced by the president of a Women’s Club in presiding at a business meeting with a very limited knowledge of parlimentary law at her command. A paper “Looking Backward” followed by Mre. W. R. Cook, a resume of the most im­ portant developments of the 19tb cen­ tury. A trombone and coruet duet by .Messrs. Troxer anti Barber with Mrs. Troxel as accompanist was finely rendered. One of the most enjoyable features of the evening was the char­ . ade entitled "The Century” given by ten ladies representing the ten decades of the past century each lady wear­ ing the costume prevalent in the year she represented-Mrs. M. H. Bailey­ in a handsome evening gown of pres­ ent day. style as 1900 appeared first and received in turn her sisters of form­ er days as follows —Mrs. E. M. B. Sweezey. 1810: Mrs. Nettie Brooks. 1880; Mrs. Alice Bates. 1830: Mrs. Lombard, 1840: Mrs. Rose Colgrove, 1850: Mre. Carrie Grant, I860; Mre. Margaret Potter. 1870: Mre. Chattie Stauffec, 1880. Mre. Sabie Brown. 1890 The parts were exceedingly well taken, the hoop skirts, flounces, full skirts trains, basques and coiffures, that had been the favorites of fashion be­ ing carried out in minute detail. A solo by Miss Maude Mudge was given. This sweet, fresh-voiced young ringer has a voice of rare promise, and charmed all with her song. She was compelled to respond to a hearty en­ core, Miss Vinnie Ream gave a hum­ orous recitation and responded to an < ncore. Another selection was given by the Schubert orchestra, followed by a paper by Miss Anna Johnson entitled “Looking Forward” in which events the coming century would produce were forecasted in the writers usually original and clever way. She described a meeting of the Hasting’! Club celebrating the outgoing and incoming centur ies on Dec. 31, 3000. Hastings had grown to be a city of great size absorbing Grand Rapids as a suburb. An address by a resident of Mare was the chief feature of the evening. After the rendition of the dub song, written especially for the occasion by Mre. Elizabeth Barber the program closed with a most im­ pressive rendition of Kipling’s Reces­ sional, as a benediction by Mrs. Fran­ cis W. Smith A social time with light refreshments followed. Thus was fittingly celebrated the passing of the greatest century the world has ever known, and the incoming of the 20th century with all its golden promises. The committee to whom the club are indebted for this fine entertainment are, Mrs Clare Lathrop, Mrs. Sabie Brown, Mre. Margaret Potter and the president. PROBATE COURT.

NO. 36 GOKKEJPONDENCE LOCAL NEW5 A traveling man by the name of— well, say Jones—was a rich man (in bis mind at least) for a few hours ene day last week. While walking in the road near E. Y. Hogle’s farm in the cjty» Thursday, only “by the merest acpi<!«*" did he chance to knock the dirt off of an old kettle which he was con­ fident contained hidden treasure. He tried to fry the iron out with a stick but it wouldn’t pry; he tried to pull off the top, but it wouldn’t pnll. He didn’t know what to do, but in a fit of desper­ ation he covered up hip-find, marked the place and plodded on. He didn’t want to tell anyone living near the scene about what hail happened, fear­ ing they would claim his prize, so he walked on, and on, and on. Finally he came to J. II. Knickerbackor’s place in Rutland, and borrowed a crowbar, de­ positing a heavily laden grip as secur­ ity. Going back a distance of two or three miles, he located the spot Ilia heart throbbed with expectation. Just supposing he had forgotten that place. My, what a chance he took in going so far away /rfter so insignificant a thing as a Crowbar! He lifted the bar of iron 'to strike, then he let it gently down. What in the world would he do. with so much money anyway? He hadn’t thought of that. He raised th® cold iron again and struck the iron again. The top flew off and revealed— an empty tile, one of the survey marks of the city’s streets. Mr. Jones should­ ered his bar of iron, walked back two or three miles and left it with its owner, having ample opportunity to re­ flect that it is not all gold that glitters, even in your nlind.

Pektn, Dec. 31.—The Chinese pleni potent laries have been unexpectedly ,ordered to sign the preliminary Joint note and have notified the foreign en voys to that effect. The Chinese themselves were great ly astonished at receiving the Imperial instructions. Neither Li Hung Chang .nor Prince Ching had expected success tn persuading the court under 10 days. The emperors instructions are tc agree fully to the note, but to en1deayor to get the best terms possible, particularly in the matter.of limiting the number of the legation guards and 'also as to Qic places where these are to be located. The pttmipotenliarics are instructed to endeavor to limit the number ol army posts citing the line of railway to as few as juissible and finally to re quest , the powers not to destroy the forts, but merely to disarm them. • Lt Hung Chang’s health is bad and ft is doubtful whether he will be able >to do more than"affix his signature tc an innt run ent delegating his power* to Prince Ching until another plenipo tentiary has. been appointed.

The Griswold House CHARGING AIR TANKS BY MACHINERY, and have the Initial pressure 200 pounds, but in practice I found it bet­ ter to have more air space and lower pressure, so I added another tank. The two tanks are (Jounected together by j one-quarter inch gaspi|»e mid shut off valve. Each tank bus a steam gauge to show at all times tbe amount of pressure iuslde it. One tank has n hose connection with common union cou­ pling to attach It to air compressor. The other tank has a large* pipe con­ nected at bottom. This pipe turns up behind the tank and terminates with a large valve— refilling valve. Near the turn of the large pipe is a tee connec­ tion having nttacbeil two lines of hose, as shown In tbe picture. Of course more lines can be connected If thought best. Tbe energy Is stored before com­ mencing work, so the number of noz-.. zles used has no bearing on the quality of the work done. The carts are yery simple affairs, homemade; two thills with three cross­ pieces all bolted together, with the tanks strap bolted to crosspieces. Tbe first picture shows how the engine and air pump are mounted on a heavy one horse wagon so as t(f be easily moved to any point where It Is most conven­ ient to water to fill spray tank. Opera­ tion Is as follows: One enrt Is backed up to the compressor, as shown In first picture. The hose is connected (about ten seconds' work) and engine started. The operator then takes a large wood­ en pall or tub with a short piece of pipe In Ixottom that fits the refining valve, opens a little relief valve at top of spray tank and pours the mixture In. By the time the operator gets tbe mix­ ture ti»nk full the eoglne has got up a pressun* of 125 pounds Id the air tank and Is ready to begin operations. . The machine Is now ready for use. Is disconnected from ttfe compressor and driven to orchard. When ready to throw spray, thb valve In i mall pipe connecting nlr to mixture tank Is open­ ed a little. In two or thnje seconds the gauge on mixture tank will show 50 or 60 pounds pressure. This Is about tbe right pressure to throw a dense fog of spray. As long as nozzles are In use the little valve is left open slightly so that the pressure in the spray tank la' constant at 50 or 60 pounds. If the nozzles are shut off for a minute or two or longer.

Despite the fact that Seton-Thomp­ son’s books have figured among the lit­ erary successes of the past two years, and have gone through many editions, information concerning the writer him­ self has been very meagre, and we know those who have read his graphic and dramatic description’s of animal life in the pages of “Wild Animals I Have Known,” “The Biography of a Griz­ zly” and “The Trail of the Sandhill Stag” will welcome the brief know­ ledge gained of this popular author from what we print “Ernest Seton-Thompson is a di­ rect descendant of the oldest branch of the famous old Seton family, of Scotland,. He was bom in the north of England, Aug. 14th 1860, although he says he was really bom and began to think on the Assiniboine. In a log shanty on the big plain he lived with his brother for five years. • Farming in a small way procured the necessities of life, and left ample time for zoologi­ cal expeditions, which extended into the surrounding country several hun­ dred miles. To the youth coming jad­ ed from months of hard study in Lon­ don. these years of free wild life seem­ ed golden. They were the formative period that decided his subsequent ca­ • reer.” “In 1883 Mr. Seton.Thompson first be­ gan to be known as a naturalist, by a series of papers on the zoology of Man­ itoba. These were eventually publish­ ed in book form and resulted in his be­ ing appointed government naturalist to that Province. The illustrations he made for these and other papers excited so great an amount of interest among the publishers and scientists of the east, that the Century company brought him to New York to illustrate the animals and birds in its Encyclopedia-Diction­ ary. On this work he was engaged un­ til 1890, when, after having made over 1000 drawings for It, he sailed for Paris to pursue his studies in art. He studi­ ed there with Henry Mosier, and his first picture, painted within a year af­ ter his arrival was hung in the salon, in a place of honor on the line, the subject being a sleeping wolf. In fact al] of the pictures and drawings, some eight­ een in all, exhibited werewolf subjects.. “Wolf’ Thompson as he was then fre­ quently called, painted his next canvas for the World’s Fair. It was called “Awaited in Vain,” and tells the ghast­ ly tale of a wood cutter, who returning to his wife and supper, is devoured by wolves, within sight of his own door. To some people the picture is revolting; to others fascinating; but all agree as to its vigor of treatment, and the won­ ’ derful knowledge of the animals which the artist has displayed. The artist, when questioned, about his choice of snch a subject to exert his talents upon said simply. The incident occurred in the Pyrenees while I was in France. It was graphically told. It haunted me until I painted it” "And now,” inter­ posed his wife, “It haunts others.” Returning to* America Mr. SetonThompson was invited to renew his wolf hunting, and joined an expedition iiito tbe Carrumpaw region, Mexico. Here he met with Lobo, King of Wolves, and had the experience Mi th that noted and cunning beast’which he describes so fascinatingly in “Wild An­ imals I Have Known.” The story was first published in Scribner’s and was a marked success. The leading journals pronounced it the best wolf, story ever written. Returning to Paris to resume his studies under Gerome, Bougereau and Ferrier, Mr. Seton-Thompson realized that a thorough knowledge of anatomy h essential to the animal painter, for since their models never pose, they must paint largely from a knowledge of the subject. As there was no work on the anatomy of animals from an ar­ tists point of view, Mr. Seton-Thomphob set about collecting and complet­ ing the numerous studies from his own dissections.—The result of four years conscientious study were condensed in­ to fifty large plates treating of fifty animate and birds of chief interest to HA5TINO5, MICHIGAN JANUARY IO, I3OI. been published by Macmillan, of Lon­ D7005D don and New York, in a royal quarto volume with 100 pages of text accom­ panying the superb plates.

Deceased was bom in this city; June 6, 1872 and was the only living child of Mrs. W. II. Powers. His childhood and young manhood were spent in this city. and by his honesty of purpose, loy­ alty to friends and genial manner won and retained a host of friends who deeply deplore his loss. Graduating from the class of 1890, he followed var­ ious vocations, and at the time of his death was clerking in Cook,& Seutz grocery and also performing the duties of city treasurer, to which position he had been elected by a large majority for the third time. ^He was a member of Barry Lodge. K. of P. and also of the Woodmen, members of both orders rendering what assistance they could during his late illness. Sept. 4th, 1895, he was united in marriage to Miss Mae Rogers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Rogers of Carlton, and their wedded life has been one of true happiness. Though he will be greatly missed by his friends, the greatest loss will be felt in the home where, as a true, loving husband and son his beet qualifications were shown. The funeral services were held yes­ terday afternoon at 1:30 under the aus­ pices of Barry Lodge No. 18 K. of P., Messrs. C. H. Thomas, Jason McEl­ wain, Guy Crook, Chas. Lewis, Franz Willison and John Wooten, acting as pall bearers. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful, handsome pieces being .sent by Barry Lodge, the High School' Alumni Association, the Class of 1890, the Young Men’s Social Club, the Woodmen and others. ■ Services were conducted by Rev. Brown of Emmanuel parish, the re­ mains being laid at rest in Riverside cemetery by the side of his father and brother. WOMAM" SKCTION Wednesday Feb. I3th. state Speaker. Mrs. Ella E.

The young ladies attending SL Mary’s Academy, Monroe, gave a very successful musicale at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Stebbins Thursday evening for the benefit of SL Rose church. They were assisted by Mesdames R. L Hendershott, P. T. Col­ grove, Thos. Doyle, Mr. C. H. Lewis and Misses Vinnie Ream, Bertha Pflug and Nellie Stebbins. The parlors were well filled and the program proved a thoroughly delightful one. The music, both vocal and instrumental, was exe­ cuted in a most artistic and finished manner, which sjieaks volumes for the musical training which they have re­ ceived, showing careful and intelligent cultivation; range and volume being developed without sacrificing, sweet­ ness of tone.

About 8270 was spent in permanent improvements, and several hundred dollara more were spent in premiums this year than test year, due entirely to the larger number of entries made—a condition that could not be foreseen by any man any set of men. Notwithstanding alt this the association paid, or will pay. about 840) on indebtedness. Charlotte, with receipts of 85500 this year, was only able to clea^ 8000. The Barry County fair of 1900 will never be ex-, celled, we believe in point 'of ^q>orts, attractions and exhibits. By compe­ tent judges, it was pronounced the equal of any county fair in tbe state. This - year more permanent improve­ ments must be made in the shape of sheds for housing stocky the capacity this year being overtaxed, and much of the stock this year had to be cared for outside of the grounds. It takes money to make a good fair and that is what tbe people want. One of the very best improvements that could be made this, year would be to move the grand stand back from the track 15 or 18 feet, and keep out the crowd from in front the grand stand. This would practically double the capacity of the grand stand, would permit a far better view of all races, and could be done at small ex. pense. Hastings Musical Club met in the . A. R.

A large proportion of the increase in gold has taken place within the short space of seven years, while the quantity of silver money, which was at its maxi­ mum of about >4,250,000.000 at the be­ ginning of 1896, has since been some­ what reduced by the sale of silver by Germany and its retirement in other countries. The conditions of 1893 showed a total monetary supply of about >10,X0,000,000, which has since been in­ creased by about Sl.lOOJJOO,000. About >940,000,000 of this increase has been in gold money. The great outburst of activity in the mining of gold, which followed the suspension of the coinage of silver in India and the United States involving the rapid development of the mines of South Africa and the Klon­ dike region, with the increased output of Australia and California, it will be stated, has resulted therefore, in sup­ plying nearly the entire monetary needs of the world without resort to any material increase in the net supply of paper money in circulation. mMDSCOftNUU.

But nobody could take Interest in a thief, however presented. If a woman had been steal­ ing through three acts as this man did. there would have been no more feel tag for her. If this dramatist intends to put into practical operations ber theories about wicked heroines, she will probably have as much cause to be regretful about them as she now has about the use of a sinful hei^). Women who arc or have been wicked fail to attract on the stage chiefly be­ cause their own sex takes little Interest hi them. It la the contention of the New York Sun that women who go to theaters sympathise much more with one of their sisters Id ‘distress wben that distress is not the result of ber own wickedness or weakness than wben she has deliberately brought trouble on berself through her own actions. Tbe theaters In America de­ pend on‘the support of women. The plays must, for that reason, rather glorify women than otherwise, and wben the end comes It must be the woman that triumphs. It would be absurd to say that the women of this country desire to sec an unworthy woman made a heroine. Most of the women who go to the theater are hon­ est wives, sweethearts or mothers, and their interests are not In Impure per­ sons or things. The plays with hero­ ines of immoral life have been popular in spite of this circumstance and not on account of It Some human element In the play, apart from this quality, has won favor for them, and not the cir­ cumstances that tbe heroine was sinful. One great Instance of tbe vitality of the erring heroine is "Camille.’' The wonderful vitality of that famous drama has led many persons to cite It as an instance of the vogue possible to an Immoral play, and Dumas' drama Is Immoral if ever one was. because It glorifies a sinful life. But not this feature of tbe play made Ha great popularity. Its love story appeals strongly to tbe sentiments of women who particularly enjoy such episodes. “Camille" made its popularity not on account of Its heroine, but In spite of It Inrlde It It wm tbe ruoct wonderful thine I ever u» Tbe Chineman raid thnt tbe balla had been bejrun bp bit nr.udf.tber and the1 be wee tbe third generation to wort on them He told me how the work wa« done.

He was an English starling and was owned by a barber. A starling can be taught to speak and to speak well too. This one had been taught to answer ; certain questions, so that a dialogue like this could be carried on: “Who are you Y’ “Where are you from?” "From Pimlico." •• ' “Who is your master?" “Tbe barber." “What brought you here?" "Bad company." Now. It came to pass one day that tbe starling escaped from bls cage and flew away to enjoy bls liberty. Tbe botbei was in despair. Joe was tbe life of tbe shop. Many a customer came, attract­ ed by the fame of the bird, and the bar­ ber saw his receipts falling off. Thea, too, be loved tbe bird, which had prov­ ed so apt a pupil. But all efforts to find tbe stray bird were In vain. , Meantime Joe had been enjoying life on bis own account. A few days pass­ ed very pleasantly, and then, alas, he fell into tbe snare of tbe fowler liter­ ally. A man lived a few miles from the barber’s home wbo made tbe snaring of birds bls business. Some of the birds be stuffed aud sold. Others, again, were sold to hotels near by to be served up In delicate tidbits to fastidi­ ous guests. Much tn bls surprise, Joe found himself one day in the fowler** net in company with a large number oi birds as frightened as himself. Tbe fowler began drawing out the birds, one after another, and wringing theli necks. Joe saw that his turn was com­ ing. and something must be done. 11 was clear that the fowler could not ask questions, so Joe piped out: “I’m Joe." “Hey! What’s that?" cried the fowl “I’m Joe," repeated the bird. “You are?" said tbe astonished fowl­ er. “What brings you here?’ “Bad company.” said Joe promptly. It is needless to say that Joe’s neck was not wrung and that be was soon restored to bls rejoicing master, the barber.—Selected.

The visit passed off pleasant­ ly, but at its close the host gallantly, but none the less to her surprise and chagrin, kissed tbe lady as he said good by. Tbe sculptor was an elderly man, but nevertheless it was a liberty, and she was not astonished to hear her husband ejaculate: ’Why, I never beard of such check! I’ve a good mind to go back and tell him what I think of him!*, “After two or three,remarks of a similar tenor, in which the note of an­ ger was rising, the wife decided to pour oil on tbe troubled waters and so, laying ber hand on his arm. said: ‘I know. dear, be shouldn’t have kissed me. but what does It really matter? What does a kiss count in a woman of my years? He is a rery old man. and probably bo was following the fashion of the country.’ “Her busband turned an astonished face. ‘Of course 1 don’t mind his kiss­ ing you.’ he raged, ‘but.’ and bis voice rose, ‘It’s hla having kissed me that has hurt my feelings!’ “Tbe sculptor had followed the Ital­ ian custom and kissed both wife and husband.’’—New York Tribune.

Have you ever stopped to think of the situation in this light? Time was. in times gone by, when merchants looked forward to the ad­ vent of winter as a season of business activity and brisk trade. The farmer was busy hauling logs to the mill, wood and lumber to market, and lumbering operations were in full blast in nearly every locality. Farmers and laborers were busy, received good wages and trade of every kind was brisk. But, alas, those days have gone by, and will never return—at least not in time to be of any material benefit to anyone now living in Hastings. About all that the ordinary ’ farmer has to do nowa-days in winter time, is his chores. Where, a decade or two ago, stood dense forests, are now cultivated fields, and the “woods” on the ordinary farm is now limited to a few straggling trees that scarce supply the family fuel. The factories, established in this city, have given labor employment in win­ ter, as well as summer, and in a meas­ ure have afforded substitutes for the trade that used to come in from the outside in the winter months, through lumbering operations. Without the factories trade would be dead and property almost valueless. What the city should strive for is more factories, and Hastings offers many inducements in the way of good shipping facilities, good schools, healthy location, excel­ lent water supply and many other natural advantages. For some time past there has l>een a movement from city to country. On account of strikes, boycotts, lockouts <iuu H.uny other -disadvantages of the trade centers, many industries areleaving the large cities to locate in the smaller cities and towns. This move­ ment has become more general with the construction of new railroads and the evening up of freight charges, placing the small shipping points more nearly on a level with the-larger cities. Everything seems to indicate the early extension of the C. K. it 8. R. R. to join the Grand Trunk System. In fact, work, is already progressing that way. This will give Hastings many additional advantages as a shipping point that will be fully appreciated by shippers. What Hastings should do, is to do as other cities are doing to secure new factories. .All that has made the cities of Holland, Muskegon. Owosso and many other cities in the state what they are is,due to the liberal encourage­ ment given factories to locate within their limits. One industry helps to secure another. This was shown during the pending of negotiations to secure the Grand Rapids Book Case Co. Had it not been for the fact that the Table Co. is located here, and the fact that the two caivcwork together, load cars together and secure great savings in freights, and be of much help to one another in many ways,” it is doubtful if this city j^ouid have secured the Book Case Cfi. ' to secure factories. Why should not Hastings do the same thing. Holland recently bonded itself for 850,000 for this purpose. No reasonable man can expect for a minute that factories will come here, when other cities offer good cash inducements. It costs money to move factories and they are going to locate where they can get the best in­ ducements, other things being equal. in 1>S9 this city made its initial ef­ fort to secure manufacturing indus­ tries, and we believe that no one can, or will, question the wisdom of the method employed. The plan adopted at that time was to give ten per cent of the actual capital stock. The furniture factory was given 82000, and during its existent* and its successors, has paid the city more in taxes than the city .gave to it,-and in addition has paid out 8150,000 in wages, nearly all of’ which was spent in this city. . Next came* the Wool Boot plant. The city donated the plant and power, costing as we remember about 813JXK). During its existence it has paid over 85,000 in taxes and has paid over 8500,­ 000 in wages, most of which has been spent in Hastings. It. has practically been the means of building up the second ward, many of the employees building and paying for their own HASTlKOJ, MICHIGAN JANUARY 17, 1901. homes out of their earnings at the Boot factory. We doubt if 820,000 would cover the building operations in the second ward, resulting directly from the Wool Boot factory, saying nothing of the thousands of dollars spent in enlarging the Wool Boot plant. Next came the Table factory. We believe the city put in about 81800 to secure the Table Company. bi the past eight years this concern has paid 82,000 in taxes and in that time has paid out 8175,000 in wages, most of which has been spent at home. Dur­ ing the panic the Wool Boot and Table Companies were the •‘back bone*’ of the city, and had it not been .for the weekly pay-rolls from these institu­ tions, the want and distress of those years would have been greatly increas­ ed both to citizens and business men. To recapitulate, the case presents itself about like this.

INDUJTRIALCONQUEJTJ. The St. Louis Age of Steel, in its forty-third anniversary number, which has just appeared, makes a very effectire presentation of the extent to which American competition is affecting tbe principal European industrial nations. It says that this competition has compelted the English and Scotch iron and steel producers, especially those con­ cerned in shipbuilding material, to do their wonk at a loss. Quoting from the latest olport of the English Board of Customs, it shows that while England in 1895 sent to the United States 300,000 tons of iron and steel manufactures, the shipments had fallen to 118,000tons in 1899, the latest complete year for which British statistics are at hand. In the same period the British imports of iron and steel from the United States rose from 18,735 tons in the earlier year and lot in Nashville and will rant his farm and move there in tbe near futUMr».

She bore herself easily and Indifferently, as one accustomed to crowds. A little quickening of Interest and a long and sweeping use of her glass as the curtain rose showed that she had come for the opera rather than for any social purpose. The performance went quietly until the vision of Marguerite was shown.

Tfce First Elevator. Elevators are by no means the recent Inventions generally supposed. An amusing account of what was probably the first attempt at an elevator is told by St Simon, and, according to him, it was from a M. Villayer that the Idea of a "flying chair*' first emanated. This ingenious person set up a passable prototype of the modern elevator tn hls house In Paris, working It up and down between the walls. The daughter of Louis XIV was so delighted with tbe novelty that she bad one put up In her own apartments at Versailles. This honor was, how­ ever. the undoing of poor M. Vlllayer’s machine.

The following are extracts from a letter written by Miss Gertrude Smith en route to Manila. The letter had evidently been thoroughly water-soak­ ed, and much of it was illegible in consequence. Two days out from Honolulu, Nov. 29, 1900. Dear folks at home: If you could only see what a beauti­ ful Thanksgiving morning this is out here. We have just come up from breakfast, and I am sitting out on deck in a steamer chair. Almost everyone has thin clothes on this morning, but I have on a flannel waist and am very •omfortable. We are taking a north­ erly route so as to avoid the heat, and the weather is simply delightful since we left Honolulu. We have a regular •Id rolling sea on this morning; in fact we have had a pretty heavy roll for some time. One has to takfc care of the bottles and glasses in their state­ rooms. I had a glass break in my room this monting. You have to sort of brace yourself in your chair, too. The swells come up like big hills. Up we go, and then way down in the valley again. Nearly everyone seems to have been made immune from seasickness. I have not felt the least unpleasant sensation since we left Honolulu. I closed my letter to you from Hono­ lulu on Monday monting. and it was still raining. We were told no mail left for the States for several days but 1 am sure you will think of that and nut worry. Well, finally jt cleared up. . and Aunt Stelle and I went up town and bought a few souvenirs of Hono­ lulu. Monday afternoon we got on •ne of the funny little street cars drawn by two tiny mules, and went out to Wlckiki Beach, a noted bathing place. We got a very good idea of the homes in Honolulu. They are very pretty, and the yards are full of stately, royal palms, all kinds of beautiful, tropical flowers, and many tall, slim eocoanut trees, looking as if they were intoxicated and staggering toward each •ther. . Last evening we watched the “China” tome In. She left San Francisco four days after we did. so we had some papers of Tuesday, the 20th. The “China” is a beautiful big ship, and goes to -Hong Koug, making the trip much quicker than we do. Tuesday morning I was awakened by sounds, which told me we were leaving the dock. I dressed quickly, came out on deck, and found the sun just kissing the mountain tops. It was very beau­ tiful Pretty soon the pilot left us, and we stood out tp sea once more for ninet««h days, the Captain says, but we expect to make it in less; that is, we think he does not want us to be disap­ pointed, and so gives us the limit. All that day we ran by the Hawaiian Islands, but toward night we passed the last one. Tuesday evening the Captain asked us up on the bridge, and shewed us his private apartments. He gave us the ship’s dimensions, which are 468 ft. long, 49 ft. wide, and 30 ft. in depth. I think he means 30 ft. be­ low the water for it Jooks as though we were as far as that above water. He says all government transports ‘are as safe as man can make them. Last night we had a violin and banjo from downstairs, which made music for us for two hours. We enjoyed this very much. We are going to have beautiful moonlight now, and it is just gorgeous on the water. They say all the soldiers are going to have special meals in honor of the day and I am glad of it. We have a bugle eu board now, so we have the calls from the soldier quarters. Friday morning 10 a. m., Nov, 80th.— We are all as fine as silk this morning. I ate a breakfast that would do credit to a laboring man. I bad to, for I get•o much exercise “finding myself” dur- break an arm or a leg If they were not careful, even with the roll we are get dug now. Everyone put on the beet their steamar trunks aCorded last night because of the day. We had a very elaborate dinner too. It would be hard for yon to imagine the beauty of the nights here now, the moonlight touching all the water makes It beautiful beyond description.

According to Mrs Corbin, the Urchins spend most of their time at play, though the hook contains an account of a day at school, where the queer little folk are the scholars and a mermaid is teacher. The black little elves play many games, and their love of fun lends them to utilise every means that comes In their way for a romp That you may get an Idea of what the Urchins are like and bow they enjoy themselves the following extract and illustrations are given from the book with the author's aud publisher'll pern:ifision: 1 ;.w p m.. .Trav.

No dining room outfit is complete without Its quota of lace centerpieces and dpilles, no collection of wedding preseuts/but Includes many such dainty offerings. Among the many new designs for handmade lace In dec­ orative forms one of the prettiest of all Is a huge butterfly which can be used In different ways. It makes an alto­ gether charming arrangement for the toilet for full dress occasions. Two big butterflies, one at the back and the oth­ er In front, over a big ruffle of silk or frill of mousseline de sole or satin, as the case may be. to give the fly a back­ ground. are very effective. Caught on the shoulders with two small butter­ flies the effect Is very good. An ex­ tremely handsome trimming can be made by making the butterflies of black silk renaissance braid, using a twist In cobweb stitches and the French twist for lhe wings. Over a white or other light gown the contrast Is lovely. These butterflies may be jeweled, shading, for instance. In the ultramarine blues, with topax eyes, or when made of the point lace braids jeweled In turquoises and pearls. These same butterflies make a very smart little bolero, using one fly for the back and one for each front placed: lengthwise, the shoulder simply cob­ webbed together, a tiny butterfly under tye arm bolding front and back togeth­ er.—Harper’s Bazar. 11 ■ah'iii Chicago.

King Victor Emmanu­ el arises at daybreak and works until 7:30, when tn* and Queett Helen break­ fast together. At 8 o’clock their majes­ ties walk or drive for an hour, after which the king attends to business of state and the queen visits her many pets, which Include a number of rare birds. At 1 o'clock a simple luncheon is served, which rarely consists of more than two dishes. Dinner is served at 8 p. m. and seldom has more than three courses and dessert. Queen Hel­ en is extremely amiable and consider­ ate and frank to .the last degree. Re­ cently at a reception she made a num­ ber of practical remarks and sugges­ tions to her ladles in waiting: “Ladles, allow me to give you a word of advice. When you appear at court, you will find it more comfortable to wear easy corsets and shoes that do not pinch your feet When one has to stand so long and make so many courtesies, it is best to seek comfort” MORTGAGE SALE.

CREDIT CHECK SWINDLE “Well, why is it you never played baseball yourself?” asked a latter day fan of the very stout man sitting in the corner. “You say you were tbe mascot for the famous Lightfoot Lilies of Jones county, and yet, with the ex­ ception of the time that they put you in to force the winning run in the thir­ teenth by being hit in the stomach, you never seem to have played your­ self. After such successful daring were you never asked to play again? I don’t quite understand.” The stout man gazed at tbe speaker searchingly for a few minutes and then, apparently satisfied that the ques­ tions were asked in good faith, proceed­ ed to uufoid the one dark shadow in his otherwise sunny life. • “Have you never heard?’’ he began. “Then now<ou shall hear, and. though I think no blame should rest with me, you yourself shall Judge of that Listen. You have already referred to the contest iu which I forced the winning run owing to tbe pitcher’s inability to put the ball over the plate without striking my corporation. This, 1 be­ lieve. was due to a law of physics which states that but one body can ocenpy the same spdee at tbe same time or words to that effect But, whatever the cause, I acquired a reputation for high class baseball second to none In Jones county and at once got a regular position on the team.

I fully sustained my en­ viable reputation for artistic ball play­ ing. Three times the bases were full, with the Roarers one run in the van. Three times I proved the Lightfoots* salvation by forcing the tlelng run by means of my superior figure. Thret times the home rooters vied with one another in futile attempts to pay me suitable homage. 1 was truly more than queen. And then that fatal ninth, with Its brimful cup of gumless bitters! Four hundred and twelve pounds of shattered Idol! “In the last half of the ninth I reacbed first through my customary Strategy. Later I succeeded In gaining third by a daring bit of base running while the Roarers’ fielders were searching for ‘Bull’ Thompson's liner on the other side of the center field fence.

Thomp­ son and yours truly on second and third bases respectively find the In­ vincible 'Home Bun’ Hankins at tbe bat All were breathless with sus­ pense. The pitcher swung bls arm back slowly, and then, swish, bang! ’Home Run’ Hankins never missed his alm. I struggled bravely toward tbe plate, and in less time than it takes to tell it Thompson was at my back push­ ing violently. I doubled my efforts. A moffi^iii Iflter Hankins himself caught up and joined In tbe single file struggle for home and victory. ’Twas do or die, and the people were like lunatics In their wild excitement Spurred on by their cheers. I was soon but five feet from the plate, with Thompson and Hankins still dancing at my heels. Then suddenly a voice rose clearly above the others. ‘Slide, Willie, slide!* It rang out Oh, fatal words!” At this point the fat ex-mascot was overcome by emotion and stopped short. It was some minutes before he could pull himself together sufficiently to go on with bls sad story. “Wefi.” he said at last “I slid. Div­ ing gracefully forward. I slid a nicely calculated slide that brought my chest directly above the rubber. But the en­ thusiasm this occasioned among tbe Lilies was short lived. “ Touch the plate, you fool; touch the plate!* ‘Bull* Thompson and Hankins yelled together. “Now, would you believe it sir. try as I would I couldn’t My corporation had been overtrained.

Jumel bad been a young girl and when Aaron Burr was only a captain In tbe American army she bad been more than once under the spell of bls'strange fascination,” writes William Perrine In The Ladies’ Home Journal. “Burr bad introduced her to the celebrated Margaret Moncrieff, had desperately flirted with her and had Implanted within her an admiration which was still alive when be was an aged social exile. She had written of him In earlier days that beappeared to her to be ’the perfection of man­ hood.’ that bls figure and form had been fashioned In the mold of the graces and that be was as familiar with tbe drawing room as with the camp. “ ’In a word.’ she said, ‘he was a combined model of Mars' and Apollo.

Subsequently Mme. Jumel was married to Burr, wbo was nearly 80 and she nearly 00. The mar­ riage was not a happy one., and tbe two soon separated.” The offenses of apothecaries In the middle ages were numerous and the punishment in some cases a whipping. The worst was the Improper sale of poisons—that is to say. except when not duly prescribed by a known physi­ cian of reputation, and even then not to put down In a register the name of the doctor and jMjrson to whom such prescription containing poison was de­ livered. was punishable likewise. Tbe sale of poison for drugging fish was prohibited and also that of Inferior drugs by any apothecary. To prescribe himself (unless a doctor could not be found) was an offense punishable by a whipping, and all preparations sold by him had to be made up In the presence of the doctor or of another apothecary.

For feeding hay or other roughage this method may be partially successful In arid or semlarld sections, but’wherever the ground becomes muddy or befouled with the excrement of animals it will be found to be wasteful and unsatis­ factory.

It was several years pre­ vious to the first Pacific railroad and while yet every pound of goods going to the far west had to be hauled across tbe great plains by freight wagon or sent around Cape Horn by sea.*» Two men In a Rogers & Blair outfit fell In love with tbe same girl in Santa Are good via the!

She received many valuable presents from tbe rivals, and I know that Hines lent her father money which wns never returned. For a time the rivalry was a subject for joking among us. but when we saw that ei­ ther mar was ready to fly at the oth­ er’s throat on tbe smallest provocation the case been me serious. -They were not only goo<’ men for the outfit, each earning the highest wages paid, but they were game men, and If they came together nothing was surer than that one would be killed.

For four five-minute rounds they fought with only a few trifling scratches on elther''-slde. but if there was any ad­ vantage hxwas on tbe side of the Amerlean, who had the full sympathy of. the crowd.

He did not regain conscious­ ness. When be passed away he wa« surrounded by relatives and intimate friends. Tbe announcement of his death cre­ ated great emotion. Theaters, pleas­ ure resorts and many stores were closed, and nearly aU the prominent residences w$rc draped. Sunday the city authorities pub­ lished a eulogistic proclamation, which is posted throughout Milan. King Victor Emmanuel sent to the family a telegram of condolence on be­ half of himself and Queen Helema, saying: ”We join in the homage, regrets and admiration offered by Italy and the civilized world to the Immortal mem­ ory of Verdi. The nation aud the glorious art of our country have suffered a loss so serious that it is be­ yond repair.’’ In his will Verdi asks that the fu­ neral may be "very modest’* He sug­ gests that it take place either at day­ break or eventide and that the cere­ mony be without music. ‘The chant­ ing of two priests, two candles and a cross will suffice,’’ he wrote. Many legacies were left to friends. The date of the funeral has not been fixed, but it will probably be Wednesday or Thursday, and the interment will be fn the chapel of the retreat for indig­ ent musicians which Verdi estab­ lished. * The Scala theater will reopen after the funeral of Verdi with a perform­ ance in aid of the monument fund. King Victor Emmanuel will be rep resented at the funeral by the crown prince. The city council adopted a resolution offering to place the re­ mains of the composer In the munici­ pal cemetery among the Illustrious cit­ izens ;there interred. ens of Milan Milan;there Kame.

Thursday, EXTENSIVE FARMING. ■ARMSQWE We find traction engines cheaper j than stock for plowing, being able tn plow with one engine ifoout 40 acres a d"y. This necessitates tbe cost of about $20 a day for fuel and help, including all Incidental expenses connected with the work. It is a much cheaper way of plowing than with teams, as It does away with a large force of men and with being obliged to carry a large Block of teed for the animals which would have to be used, it has profed very successful In this respect, espe­ cially on our reclaimed lands, writes a California correspondent to Hural New Yorker. The production and manufacturing of steam harvesters are Increasing ev­ ery year, pud in the locality tn which I am situated we are using about 15 steam ban extent. They give tbe best of satlsfactlori'^on our lands, where ’ crops average from 25 to 40 sacks of grain to tbe acre. This would be al­ most Impossible to handle with the beaders, and ft Is too expensive to harvest our crops with binders or reap­ ers. It Ims' proved the most satisfac­ tory way of harvesting, getting the crops Into market much faster and without that loss which is occasioned by the grain being stacked and getting th*' early rains. Every one who owns one of those engines, which Is confined to the largest farrtlers. uses them tbe year around. I could nut answer your question regarding pushing or pulling binders. but 1 cannot see why they would not be just ns successful In this as they would be in handling the com-1 hlned harvesters,. for. ns you know, it takes the employ of eight men. ami these, can harvest 1.000 sacks of grain a day. which we consider about an av­ erage run for harvesters that cut a 20, foot swath. The traction engines are need a great, deal in the mountains for hauling him-| ber and logs, and from what 1 can find out they have been very successful. We ; formerly used coa) for fuel, but alnce the discovery of oil nil those people | who are handling traction engines find it much more <*<*onoinlcal and cleaner, and there Is a great deal less danger of fire. . Land which horses cannot go over or plow we use what we call tbe '‘rolling disk” piow. which will cultivate, ns I say. from 35 to 40 acres a day. As to tbe question of economy, this is a great deal more saving than any other way of harvesting. 1 do not know’ of any persons who have used the traction en-1 gines with combined harvesters that have discarded them. All that 1 know of that have been manufactured here are in use, and I have beard of no ex­ pression of dissatisfaction. * A SMOKEHOUSE. > P’an For * Convenient. Cheap and Tidy Arrangement.

It contained about 2,000 samples, renre"entlng every type and grade of tobac­ co produced in the United States. It took the grand prize, nine gold medals, five sliver medals and honorable men­ tion for many of the exhibitors. Two significant facts were brought out in the jury of awards. The Florida grown Sumatra leaf was found to require 25 .more leaves to the pocud of a given grade than lhe samples exhibited from tbe Island of Sumatra. It received 20 points of excellent against 18 for the Sumatra and was pronounce! by the jury to be perfect. The bright yellow tobacco of Virginia and North Caroli­ na was awarded LS points of merit out of a possible 20. or the same as given to the Turkish tobacco, which It resem­ bles In many points and with which It moat closely competes. While it was admitted that the Turkish tobacco bad a more desirable aroma, the North Carolina product, leesides closely ap­ proximating this, has a larger leaf, which can be used for wrappers as well as for fillers for all tobacco cigarettes and plug. It costs much less to produce and 1s altogether more of a general purpose tobacco aud Is therefore more desirable. Foreign countries are appre­ ciating this fact Plow For Clearin* Away Snow.

Point* About Tile and Layla* ft. . ■ * i | Tile w’hen properly placed In a ditch do not require a covering of small "tones or gravel, and they will do bet­ ter work If tbe regular soil Is used for covering. Horseshoe Hie are not as good for the purpose of draining as round tile. While they would be rea­ sonably sure to stsy in place If proper­ ly laid, they are not as efficient as round tile. The reason they are not as efficient is shown In tbe cut. If but a small stream of water Is flowing. It spreads out over the entire flat surface of tpe horseshoe tile, and there is not depth enough of water to cause the re­ moval of silt or' sediment which may accumulate. It is far more difficult to lay horseshoe tile and do good work than to lay round tile. If the round tile does not make a tight joint wlth4ts neighbor, it may be turned until a place is found where tbe joint is rea­ sonably satisfactory. If tbo horseshoe tile does not fit with Its neighbor, then the flbovel must be used and earth re- If all tbe condensed moisture of the atmosphere were to fall as rain and none of It as snow, hundreds of thou­ sands of square miles of the earth’s surface now yielding bountiful crops would be little better than a desert.

' It is in the extensive regions where ir­ rigation Is a prime necessity In agricul­ ture that the special uses of the snow come chletly into view.

If this moisture fell as rein, it would almost immediately wash down through the rivers, which, would hardly be fed at all in the summer, 'whefi the crops most needed water. These Tacts are so well known as to be commonplace in the Salt Lake val­ ley and in the subarid regions of the west generally. They are not so well understood in New Jersey or Ohio, where snow Is aotpetiines a pictur­ esque, sometimes a disagreeable, fea­ ture of winter. . In a lb parts of tbe country the notion prevails that the snow Is ot great value as a fertilizer. Scientists, however, are inclined to attach less Importance to Its service In soil nutrition—for some re­ gions which have no snow are exceed­ ingly fertile—than to its worth aa a blanket during the months of high winds. It ptevents the blowing off of the finely pulverized richness of the top soil. This, although little perceiv­ ed. would often be a very great loss.

The Importance of establishing wood Iota or shelter belts on farms that lack them Is no Inca obvious than the neces­ sity of raising the staple crops. The provident farmer cannot really afford to buy firewood, fence posts or bulldins timber any more than he can afford tc buy com and wheat.

This is certainly a great showing for the state of grass-hoppers, blizzards, and populists. Many new roads are being built in the Phillipines and schools are rapidly Increasing, But for Tagala the spirit of improvement would be booming in all the islands. Ajnericun manufacturers have re­ ceived orders tor 530 car. from Spain. Competition was very keen, but the Spaniards, like tqany other far seeing foreigners, decided to get tbe best. In the Phillipines only one-tenth of the land Is in the hands of private parlies. N one of the government lands Which amounts to 60,000,000 acres, will be disposed of until action is taken by Congress. Last year American manufactures Valued at 8441.000,000 were exported. This was a gain of $60,000,000 over 1899. At this rate of increase the ex­ port of manufactures will be doubled in seven years. . Only & few years ago Massachusetts issued a list of 336 abandoned farms in the State. Since that time all but 136 of them have been purchased for sum­ mer homes. This is only another ex­ ample of the power of advertising. During the last century our foreign commerce increased twelve-fold and yet our shipping almost disappeared from the seas. Subsidies paid by for­ eign nations to other lines of vessels drove our unprotected vessels from the Reas. Adherents of one of the political parties in the Philippines have been sending petitions to Washington.

The Herald article deals with a note of warning recently sounded by Judge VanZile, of Detroit, as to corrupt use of money in politics. We respect Judge VanZile, but are oi of me the im im-­ juage van^iie, out. pression that his utterances might be more or less tinctured by disappoint­ ment over successive defeats of his am­ bitions for political honors. The article also deals with a brief extract from a speech of our towns­ man, Hon. P. T. Colgrove, who in a recent speech at Ionia is reported to have said: “The rottenness of our political System in many cities has be­ come a stench in the nostrils of decent men. Bribers and convention debauchers must be relegated to their proper place as worse than defaulting cashiers. May we not hope for a time when tricksters in conventions and men put­ ting up jobs will have better employ­ ment” We do not believe that either of the above named gentlemen will claim that all wickedness and corruption is centered in one party, and all good in another, or that they ever will be. If they cay that there is hy­ pocrisy, rottenness, bribery and dis­ honesty in polities, we will fl^ree with ttem.

Anselm, however, declared his willingness to fit and put on a shoe, and be performed tbe task In so accept­ able a manner that the knight was de-; lighted, aud as he placed some silver ■ pieces In the boy's band be said: | "Thou art a gallant lad It Is a pity thy tine spirit Is not employed to l>*tter purpose than such drudgery at a far- ; rier’s forge." “I am very glad to serve you." an- ' swered Anselm ns be removed bls cap.

I trust all to you. Be wary and be swift" “I will not fall, your majesty.” Mid Anselm, and the next moment lie had leaped to the saddle and was dashing away Into tbe darkuess. He had near­ ly 200 miles to ride in‘48 hours and to, ddliver n message of whose purport he ww» ignorant But it must be.bonie at, .•*^1 hazards to Its destination nnd an answer roturned. He thought of all tbe stories of brave knights that be bad ever heard tuld. and be knew that obe­ dience anil faithfulness were tbe first duties of knighthood. His first dHllrulty came to him that night. His boree cast n shoe, and bis first thought was. “Now I must wait, for my horse will be lame If 1 push him forward in this condition." But us be came to a roadside smithy be thought again. "If I ran have a light. I can fix the shoe myself, and my steed will be ail tbe fresher for bls short rest.’’ | So he bnlt^l and roused the smith, who came put of bis b|M stretching and yawning. In ten minings Anselm bad a new shoe made and fastened on and was on ids way again. When be came to the Avon, they told 1 him that be could not cross it -bees use the heavy rains had raised the stream so that passing was dangerous. "Forward!” cried Anselm. “I cannot wait for wind or tide.” And hr dashed through the swollen stream and after a long struggle landed safe on the other shore and proceeded on his journey. He arrived in good time at the great castle of Warwick, delivered bls mes­ sage to Earl Beauchamp and started on Ills return. A great storm came up.' which lasted two days and made the I roads well nigh Impassable. Forbears 1 and years It was known among tbe country people ns “King Harry’s flood." But through It the young courier struggled on. and. wet nnd bedraggled nnd almost exhausted, he presented.himself to the king on tbe second morning Just at dawn. “By my halldom.” exclaimed the Plantagenet, •‘thou hast done what no other man In all my broad realm could have done, and thou a boy! Thon hast well won thy spurs.” And before a gay and gallant nssernbly of knights and earls and barons the great king bestowed the accolade upon the young farrier, whose good, pure face was still that of a boy. Sir Anselm became one of the famous knights of bis time and had . a grand castle of his own and fine armor and hosts of servants and men-at-arms. He founded a noble boose, and today many of England’s proudest peers are glad to trace their lineage back to little An­ selm. who won knighthood from the bands of Henry of Agincourt and be­ came tbe flower of England’s knight­ hood.—Clinton Montague tn Philadel­ phia Times.

VOL.XLV. NO. 42, IRON SOUTH AFRICA LETTER FROM FRANK MAYNARD <TO HRS. A. D. flAYNARD. JOMETHINO CONCERNING SOUTH AF­ RICA. THE COUNTRY AND CLIMATE AND THE BOER ARMY. Following are some extracts of let­ ters written by Frank Maynard to Mrs. A. D. Maynard of this city. The first was written December 30th, and reads as follows: Potcbf*fstrr>QDi. Transvaal, South Africa, Dec. 30, 1900. Dear Aunt: I will write and wish you one and all a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. I received the let­ ter you wrote me last May about a month ago and to say that I was over joyed to heap from some one at home is but a small way to express it. I am well and have not had a sick day over here, although it is a sickly country. I have been at the front since the last of . April, and was at and took part in, the relief of Mafeking, and since then have been in the Transvaal. Have had a lot of experience and was a prisoner of war for five weeks, being captured by De Wet’s commando, on July 19, and was released August 22 by Baden Pow­ ell at Warm Baths, 130 miles north of Pretoria. I have not .made any money out here as yet. on account of the war. but will as soon, as it is over, which will not be very soon, I am afraid. I have got my discharge from the K. M <*. and am now in the Imperial Light Horse, I would like to see you all, but. as you know, there is about 9000 miles between us. I am about 400 miles from the diamond fields, which are around Kimberly. This is a great country for hunting, a man can get any. kind of game that he wishes, from a rabbit up to a lion. The Boers have got the only picture I have from home so that now I have nothing. I have seen my'share of war but am willing to see more. Potchestroom, Transvaal. Jan. 3.1901. Dear Aunt: As I have more time and feel more Inclined, I will give you something of a description of my trip •ver here, and the country I have seen. I *pft New Orleans March f» aud landed in East London April 19, being over forty days on the trip. We had a nice smooth sea all the way. excepting the trade winds which were heavy, I joined the army the day I landed and left for Kimberly that same night. I was three days on the railroad, and remained four days in Kimberly, and then was sent on the Mafeking relief columnWe were on the road ten days, when we relieved Mafeking. which took place on the 17th of May. I left Cape Colony then for tbe Transvaal which is about forty miles east of Mafeking. and have been here since then. Cape Colony is a very rough country and barren, but tbe Transvaal is a nice country, rolling and more of a prairie order. * It is a good stock country, but that is all. The climate is very nice, warm days and cool nights. One has to use a blanket at night There are no mos quitoes, but any amount of dies. We have all kinds of fruit, peaches, pears, apples, figs, apricots, mulberries, pome granates, and dowers of all descrip­ tions. J wish you could see some of the flowers that we have; it would do your heart good. I have sent you. with this letter, a picture on the back of which you will find some writing which will explain all. I think I can get a good farm here as soon as the war is over, which is not very near I am afraid, though While “I was a the English think so. prisoner, the Boers fed me on pap. or mush. which On the back of the picture . was enclosed by Mr. Maynard was the following writing: “This is the Boer that shot me in the arm and whom I killed in the same fight. Before he died I gave him some water out of my canteen, and he gave me this picture to give to his father who was in the hos­ pital in Vrybuig, but his father died, so I send this home as a keepsake.

Hastings and Yale were to mock It was the last big game of the season and was looked to as a great event. Has tings’ stalwart giants were in excellent trim, and their long string of victories during the seasou told of their ability. They had beaten Freeport and Hickory Corners', I’odunk had gone down in de­ feat and now they were rto meet Yale. The “Yellow and White” were confi­ dent of an easy victory and were await­ ing with great anticipation the coming struggle. - WHOLE NO. 2375. HAJtlNOS, MICHIGAN FEBRUAKY 14, 1901 Friday came at last bright and clear with just the right keenness in the air to make every one feel oA his best met­ tle. About ten o’clock the Yale team arrived in the city along with the cus­ tomary gang of trainers, crachers, root­ ers etc. They were met and received with genuine hospitality by the Has­ tings eleven and escorted to the Has­ tings House for dinner. It is nearly two o’clock now. For the past two hours immense crowds had been pouring through the gates at the fair grounds to witness the event until they seemed to be one moving mass. Fujly 25,000 people had been seated in the grand stand and more were coming. Everybody was there, men, Women and children. One could not find even a butcher shop open up town. Farmers for miles around had flocked in to see the sight. On one side of the field were massed the supporters of the “Yellow and White" with streamers waving in tbe breeze. Just opposite was located the blue with their gang of rooters. It is now time for the fray to open. Yale came bounding into the field first on a ran. which caused some loud cheering from their friends. It had hardly suosided, however, when the gi­ gantic form of Captain Zagelmeier, the stalwart halfback Nagler, the six-foot guard Logan together with Myres, Jen­ son and\he rest came into view.

ILLINOIS, TO INSPECT THE HOT WATER HEATINO JYJTEM OF THAT CITT. Monday, Mayor Rogers, Aiderman Lathrop, W. & Kelley and W. B. Sweezey, Went to Waukegon, Ill., to inspect the. hot water heating plant, recently installed in that city, with the idea of adopting that method of heating the dty hall. In Waukegon. the water is heated from the exhaust steam of the Electric Lighting plant, and various blocks and buildings are heated by the hot water at a very low expense, the water being forced through piles for M half mile or more, and losing but very little, heat in .making the round trip. The committee that went to Wankegon exprees themselves as highly pleased with the system and fte work­ ings, and such a plant will doubtless be installed for heating the city hall provided the expense for the same is not too great. If tbe plan is feasable, why not in­ the cheering became redoubled. For stall a plant and heat the busineas five minutes tbe noise was terrific.

Feb. 11—The senate convened Monday night at v o’clock and the house half an hour later. Senator Pierson noticed a joint reso­ lution providing that the rules of both houses be amended so that in legisla­ tures to follow, the time limit for the introduction of bills shall be decreased from 50 to 30 days. "My object to to shorten legislative sessions," said Pierson in explanation. Senator Bang bam noticed a bill to appropriate 150,000 with which to build a wing on the hosnital of the state university tor ine treatment ot people affected with mental diseases. The senator says he believes the ap propriations' asked for by various state asylums for the treatment of similar diseases will aggregate about 150,000, and tnat it woula be better to have but one such Institution in the state. Senator Palmer noticed a bill to amend the act governing ine agricul­ tural college board so as to cut out absolute sections, such as. for in­ stance, the one requiring every stu­ dent to work three hours each day on the farm. There are jow women stu­ dents. ' Palmer also noticed skeleton bills for appropriations for an upper penin­ sula experiment station, as well as for an experiment station at South Haven. Senator Doherty noticed a bill to place all other normal schools In the state on the same basis as the one at Ypsilanti as 10 the conferring of de­ grees. Senator Goodell noticed a bill to amend tne act relative to the board of county auditors of Wayne county, and then bad the notice tabled. He says he “presumes" it will be tbe same bill as that to be fathered by Rep. Baumann in the house, which provides that all the members of the board shall be elected by the people. Rep. Colby in the house Monday night began io carry out his program to fight the senato for summarily kill­ ing his bill to abolish political conven­ tions in Wayne county. He noticed no fewer than six now primary election bills, each to apply to Wayne and some other county. Bay. Iron, Kent and Kalkaska are the counties thus coupled with Wayne, and one bill is to apply to the whole upper peninsula. Colby says that by coupling any other county with Wayne he can make the senate con­ sider his'bills under the rules. Rep. Burns, of Grand Rapids. Intro­ duced a bill appropriating >89.000 to the state reform school at Coldwater. Of this amount. >65,000 is wanted for maintenance; >10.000 for a new heat­ ing plant: >6,000 for an electric light plant: >2.700 for two boilers; >2.500 for repairs to buildings and grounds: >1,500 for addition to a baby college; >1,000 for shower baths for children, and >1,200 for a greenhouse. Rep. Nevins noticed a bill to appro­ priate >7,500 for the, farmers' institute, or >2,000 more than usual: also a bill to allow the State Agricultural col­ lege a one-fifteenth mill tax, which amounts to about >73,000. Rep. Wade noticed a joint resolution asking congress to call a constitution­ al convention with a view to having United States senators elected by a direct vote of the people. Rep. McCall offered a resolution to pay the clergymen who conduct re­ ligious exercises in the house >3 a day, but Rep. Al ward nau it tabled, claim­ ing the proposed action would be un­ constitutional. . . Rep. McFarlane noticed a MU to in­ crease the term of Wayne county cir­ cuit court commissioners from two to four years and to take the appoint­ ment of the clerk in the commission­ ers’ office out of the hands of the coun­ ty auditors and place It in the commis­ sioners’ hands. Rep. Randall, of Oceana county, no­ ticed a MU'to amend the act creating1 the state board for the registration and licensing of physicians and sur­ geons. ■****V^*****V%W*%M' A very interesting question in tbe ir­ rigation ot fruit trees is.

Topeka, Kan., Feb. 11.—a result of the meeting of the cltiaens of To­ peka all the joints of the city were closed Monday night The citizens made the peremptory order that the sales be discontinued by noon, and so far as is known the order was re­ garded. -Early Monday morning Chief of Po­ lice Stahl, with some of Jils officers, made the rounds of the joints and noti­ fied the keepers qs tar as they could be found that they would be expected to close at once. They were in each case presented with a printed copy of the citizens' ulumatum and command­ ed In the interest of law and order to close at once. Chief Stahl told the jointlsts that there was an army of a thousand men waiting to march on a minute's notice to close the joints, and that they were of a class Liat would not be frightened out of performing their duty as they interpretea IL No­ tices were slipped in under the dobra of the dosed places. . In only one pln^e Td the officers find any liquor sold, and the proprietor agreed to close at once. Last night Topeka was practically a dry town so far as the joints were coneerhed. Some 6! the drug stores are said to be doing a thriving business, but the condition is much different from a week or even a day ago When there were about 80 joints running openly, most of them equipped with the finest of futures, The citizens’ Committee LUIUIUIIIUV has made U1BUV all the necessary arrangements for the I enforcement of the order regarding ’ Joints and will insist that the order be carried out to the letter and that evdry drinking place be closed and the stdek and fixtures removed from the city by next Friday noon. The condi­ tion of public sentiment in Topeka is something remarkable. There has never been anything heye approaching it The vigilance committee is ready to move on very short notice.

Yates, of Illinois, Will Engorce the Law Against Prize Fights. Springfield, hl., Feb. 12.—Regarding his determination to stop prise fight­ ing in Illinois. Gov. Yates Monday made the following statement: "The law and the people of this state are against prize fighting, and the law w(ll be enforced whenever and whkrevelr I have the power to enforce IL I have not the power to prohibit by proclamation, but I have the power to stop any fight, for the statute gives me the power ’on tbe application of any civil officer or otherwise’ to call out all force necessary to execute the law whenever any body of men are about to break it. I have every con­ fidence, however, that every Illinois sheriff will enforce the law without my interference. The law specifically makes prize fighting a felony and ex­ hibitions of sparring and boxing a mis­ demeanor. the penitentiary being the punishment tor the former and the jail and fine lor the latter. I believe that when the public know this as well as sheriffs now do there will be no at­ tempt to incur these penalties.” NOTICE NOTICE. NOTICE.

Just received from MILLS & GIBB, Broadway, New One thing very noticeable in this city is the marked change in the con­ duct of pupils attending the High school, while on the streets, and es­ pecially while in the postoftice. Val­ entine day, which for several years past. has been a terror to all employ­ ees in thepostoffice, owing to the loud, rough, boisterous conduct of pupils was no different this year than from any ordinary day. Though the pupils trooped in and out. yet so gentlemanly and., ladylike ,waa the conduct of all. that there was no noise, uo confusion and mo annoyance. 'On the streets the deportment of the pupils is excellent and all that could be asked for. and is a matter of no little comment among those who have had any occasion tx> observe -and it seems as if everyone must note the difference. If the pu­ pils of Hastings improve in every­ thing else, as they have in deportment within the last few months, thia city । will send out an army of young men and women, that will be an honor and credit to the city and its school, and exercise no small influent* in making tbe world better. Loud, rough boisterous conduct may be excusable in some places, but not on the street and in public places. We believe in giving credit where credit is due, and acknowledge with pleasure the marked change in deportment ot the pupils of this city. Mre.

Dear Ones at Home:— I am feeling somewhat disturbed this morning. I have not written about this before,but on the ship everyone was say ing that after the 1st of Jan. they would begin to take the volunteets home, which would take until July, and in the meantime, ladies would not be car­ ried ou the transports for ‘love nor mon­ ey.” The “Warren” leaves next Sunday, the last boat before the troops start home.

VIEWS ON TAXATION SEPARATION OF STATE AND LO­ CAL TAXES. AN INTERESTING AND VALUABLE AR­ TICLE FROM THE PEN OF JOHN G. NAOLER. Editor Banner, Dear Sir: During the past four years a great deal has been said in regard to tax reform. While no great reforms have been instituted, still the period has been educational in its results, and many new theories and ideas have come to light One of these has particularly attracted my attention, and with your permission, I will give my individual ideas in regard to the same. I refer to the question of the separation of state* and. local .fi* nances. Our present system of taxation has been in vogue about fifty years and was adopted at a time when conditions were wholly different than they are equate then, as property then con­ sisted mostly of lands and improve­ ments thereon, personal property on farms, merchandise in trade and some manufacturing property. Conditions in this respect have greatly changed since that time and people are looking about for a change in the present methods of taxation. Our constitution contemplates that revenues required by the state shall be secured by aa ad valorem property tax, or a tax upon valuation, apportioned to the several counties of the state according to their cash valuation. By another provision of the constitution, all specific taxes, that is, such taxes as are now paid by railroads, telegraph, to them. AB this necessitates the em­ ployment of a great number of persona, at a great expense to the taxpayers, i* keeping the records of finances be- * tween the counties and state and the collection of delinquent taxes. lam informed that about, or nearly niuetenths of the clerks employed in the auditor general's office at Lansing #re. engaged in keeping the delinquent tax records. The chief evil of our present system of taxation is the method of equaltea tion of the several counties by thh 'state board of equalization for the pur­ pose of apportioning the state taxea. Each county tries by every available means to pay as small a proportion of the state taxes as possible. To accom­ plish this, counties send, their ablest men as representatives to appear be­ , fore the state board of equalization iu order to get the valuation of the coun­ ty as low as possible. Not only but the individual supervisor in taking the assessment of his township, makes the valuation ae low as possible be .. cause he knows (?)that bis associates in the same county are doing the same and he knows (?) also that the super-, visors in adjoining counties are oer* now. The system was probably ad­ tainly committing perjury by certify­ ing that they are assessing property at full cash value. A feeling of distrust prevails among* the counties, and an., actual cash value assessment is im possible so long as state equalization prevails. The system that I am advocating herein is that the state shall say to, the several counties of the state, “You give up your primary interest money, then the state will give up the state­ taxes that you now pay.” Taking totals to start with one can readily see that Die counties will be the gainers. In 1900 the total state tax apportioned, to , the several counties was $2,906.­ '880.66; and the primary school interest money distributed to the counties was $1,531,857.95. or a difference of $1,376,* 822.71. This latter amount would be the gain to the counties if no state tag were apportioned and no primary in­ terest money were distributed. Apply this to Barry County, the result would be still greater proportionately, in telephone and express companies, shall be applied to the payment of “the interest upoii the primary school, uni­ versity and other educational funds, and the interest and principal of the state debt, in the order herein recited, until the extinguishment of the state debt, other than the amounts due on ing. • educatAviuzl funds, when such kl[» lflc 1900 Barry County’s share of the state To return to the subject, 1 would The primary h taxes shall be added to, and constitute tax was $36348.73. come home in the “Warren^ if it did a part of the primary school interest terest money received by the county not seem foolish, after coming so far, was 813,775,05, nr a difference of $83,­ fund.” for me to go home so soon.

Tuesday evening about 7» clock as Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Gre^ were passing the C. K. & Sxiepot od >way to the home of their son, $ ester i in Gteusel. Jr., agent of the C. K. this city, their attention was a| ;cu-d to a strange noise within thV^epot building. / • . * The fact that the depot has been fre­ quently burglarized, the last time no longer than a week ago, on which oc­ casion the till was opened olid 81.08 .in pennies and stamps taken, made them somewhat suspicious and so Mrs. (Jreu sei thought she Would at least see what was going on inside. She found the front door opened, but as she attempted to entei closed violently in her face This proved that all was not ri$ t, and leaving Mr. Greusel to wa h the premises she retraced her step as far as the residence of J. L. Cra\ y and from there teleplioned the Ircumstances to her son. The latte scured a lantern and at once starte\ >r the depot as did also his mothe •ccompanied by Mr. Crawley. , In the meantime. Mr. Gr. 1, Sr., discovered a young boy co> : opt from the west side of the d. and Id by halted him. It proved to be the name . of Fay W ood who maintained that he had not U the building. About this time the oth­ er parti® arrived and very opportunely 1’rosecutor Thomas happened along. Il was then seen that foot prints in the newly fallen snow led to an open window oh thewest side of the build? ing and furthermore the boy’s shoes just fitted the impressions. He still insisted on his innocence, however, and was finally allowed to go home for toe night. An examination of the inside of the building showed that the money draw .had l»een broken into with a hatchet which is used about the premises but it contained nothing of value. The freight room was also open but nothing was disturbed. Wednesday‘morning toe good coun­ sel given the boy‘the previous evening began to have its effect and he made a clean breast of the whole matter to his mother and to Prosecutor Thomas. A warrant was then issued for his aiTest and he was taken before Justice Ken­ aston who ordered him to be bound over for trial in the circuit court on a charge of burglary, J. L. Crawley sign(*d bis bail bond and be was released. The boy Is about sixteen years oH and has hitherto borne a good reputa­ tion for industry and honesty and de­ clares that he-had nothing to do with the burglary of a week ago, but he confessed to a knowledge of previous burglaries in which other boys ware im­ plicated. He is one of a large family of children, whose parents, while poor are frugal, industrious and respectable, and it is to be hoped that such disposi­ tion can consistently be made of his case as will not add to the burdens al­ ready laid upon them. The charge, however, is a serious one, and the in­ terests of society and of the young lad and his family will doubtless be care­ fully looked after by the proper auth­ orities. This case affords another ob­ ject lesson that the “way of the trans­ gressor is hard," and in nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thous­ and the saying sooner or later proves true. Honesty and industry are a poor boy’s sole capital and coupled with pur­ pose and perseverance they are capital enough. mil® from three school bouses; on the horto they are one mile from two school bouses; on the north-west they are l^mil® from the. Coats Grove school house, and on the south-west corner, where we live, we are over two miies from this sc hool house. Now, if the Martin school house was across the road and the Crab school house was on the corner almost across road, two school houses would be cu the wme section. All we asked was to move the school house one half mile sou th, and everyone I talked with seemed to think it should be left where it is. I told toe people five years ago that this district would be changed, but they thought not. I lived in the center district. No. 8, of Hastings township, until eight years ago, and we tried hard to get the school house moved to the center of the dis­ trict, J.

Mr. Andrus said we should wait bn til spring and try to elect a school board who' would help us. I moved into district No. 7 that winter. I see by the Journal that there were but six children left, but there are two who are drawing public money, but there are twelve fam ili® who have children, so you can see that the school was kept up by the children who had to go 3% miles and 3 mil® to school. On January 8to, 1901, I wrote to the Superintendent of Public Instruction and he said it looked as If a great .injustice was being done, and that I should lay the matter at once in the hands of the representa­ tive, which I did with good results.

The latter case RT CO. FU BLIC SCHOOL ATHLET»C ASSOCIATION. " came to trial before Justice Kenaston last Friday, continuing into Saturday forenoon. The trial was by jury and At a recent meeting of the Barry was held in the circuit court room in order to provide accomodation for the County Teaches* Association, the fol, large crowd which the sensational and lowing constitution was adopted aa th* . 1­ vulgar character of the testimony at­ tracted. The case of the complainant was attacked principally through the testimony of three young human be­ ings of the male sex, whose confessions on the stand developed such a degree of depravity as should entitle them to some punishment, equally as severe aa that meted out to a slanderer. The evidence was somewhat conflicting and out of it all the jury managed to sift a verdict that is good in common sense and expediency, if not at law- R was that, “The prosecution had failed to prove its case as laid and that the defense had failed to prove Miss Dillon of unchaste character.' This being virtually a verdict of “not guilty" the justice caused such a verdict to be entered. Without entering at all into the merits of the case it may be said that it uncovered a very nau^Uug state of affairs which a proper di.-' cretion would not have permitted to exist.

We acknowledge receipt of a-copy of the Street Railway Review, of which Fred Kenfield, formerly of this city is one of the publishers and heaviest stockholders.

A farmer suggests that if people who drive into town early on busy days would drive straight in to the hitching posts, instead of parallel] with tbe street, more people would be able to hitch. and all would find it more convenient to back out when ready to start for borne. He says that many people who use only one hitching post cover up two or three more which oth­ er people would be glad to use. This is a good suggestion, and the farmers would accomodate each other greatly if they would pay heed to it. & i After a temporary delay during Lhinclement weather, tbe Michigan tele­ phone company is again at work stringing wires to Kalamazoo.

I 'Thinking that he would like a game dinner he took after it. and stooping down, he reached under the lumber.

They are knewu by various names, but are all due to th* same cause, acid and other poisons in tbe blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin . To have a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, tbe blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations of arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally used in this class of diseases cover up for a short time, but cannot remove per­ manently the ugly blotches and the red, disfiguring pimples.

Washington. March 16.—An order was sent to Gen. Chaffee Friday for the evacuation of China by American troops, leaving only a legation guard of 150 men. The troops will be re­ moved from China by the last of April. The dispatch to Gen. ^naffee in Pe­ kin Is as follows: “Adjutant General’s Office. “March 15, 190L "Chaffee. Pekin: “In reply to your telegram, the sec­ retary of war directs you to complete arrangements to sail for Manila with your command and staff officers by the end of April, leaving as a legation guard an Infantry company composed of 150 men having at least one year to serve, or those intending re-enlist­ ment, with a full complement of offi­ cers, medical officer, sufficient hospital corps men. and. If you think best, a field officer especially qualified to command the guard. Retain and in­ struct an officer of the quartermaster's department to proceed to erect pecessary buildings for guard according to plan and estimates you approve. Col. Charles F. Humphrey on arrival will make an. inspection of quartermaster's department of tne Philippine islands until July 1, when he will be assigned to duty as chief quartermaotei at Manila, and Miller ordered to the United States. All stores and sup­ plies not required for legation guard to be disposed of\ln your best judg­ ment. of course: serviceable supplies needed in the Philippine islands will be sent to Manila. The division of the Philippines will furnish supplies for the legation guard. MacArthur notified. CORBIN.*’ It was said at the war department that this clears up the Chinese situa­ tion so far as the department is con­ cerned, as the protection of the lega­ tion can in no sense be taken as occu­ pation of Chinese territory, and the guard cannot be used tor any other purpose. Pekin, March 18.—The health of Li Hung Chang is again a matter of grave consideration to the ministers of the powers. Mr. Rockhill, the American special commissioner, who visited Earl Lt Saturday, says he is a physical wreck and apparently in a state of ut­ ter collapse, although mentally as bril­ liant as ever. Mr. Rockhill would not be surprised to hear of his death at any moment. The. removal of oi Hung Chang by death*or any other cause at the pres­ ent moment would be very unfor­ tunate. M. De Giers (Russian min­ ister) said: “Li Hung Chang is a great diplomat and his influence with the Chinese court Is absolutely unique. No other man in China approaches him in this respect This influence is not tem­ porary, but it is particularly effective at Important moments in the history of China like the present" pUytMw u*» In the Philippine* text week.

Lansing, Mich.. March 23.—Circuit Judge' Wiest handed down an optoion of considerable length Friday after­ noon, denying tbe motion of ex-Atty.Gen. Maynard for a contlnuanne of bls case, which is set for April 2- The opinion states that the respondent was indicted in December, 1899, and bi* esse has been on the calendar for five । , terms, and, while it is true that this is his first application for continuance, ] it is also true that if he had been ready for trial at previous termfl, he bu-t made no demand of the court for a trial. Judge Wiest states that the court rule provides that no applica­ tion for continuance shall be matte af­ ter the first uay of the term, except for good cause shown. The applica­ tion was made March 15, and the term opened March. 1. The reasons, the court says, for continuance, if suffi­ cient. have existed since last Decem­ ber, and must have been known to the respondent since the opening of the term. The opinion declare* that courts have always held that the absence of attorneys is not suffltelent ground for continuance, especially where there is competent associate counsel, as in tills case. Referring to the respondent’s state­ ment that ex-Atty.-Gen. .Modes Tag­ gart of Grand Rapids, whose ansence was the basis of the application for continuance, is not only his principal attorney, but also a material witness, the court says that there has been no showing that he is a material wit­ ness, or that the case canno't safely proceed without him. Further than this, the opinion states that Mr. Tag­ gart's testimony might have been se­ cured by deposition befpre he left the state, and the affidavit makes no al­ legation that the same facts cannot be proven by others. Judge Wiest con­ cludes with the statement that the respondent cannot urge his own lack of diligence as a reason for delay. • .Mat. 8 ><< > A Long Service. Ann Arbor, Mich., March 25.—T. G.

But it Is essential to restore a level surface, as even tbe most speculative builder would hesitate to run up “neat villa residences” in deep boles. Tbe owner frequently gets over this difficulty by allowing urban refuse to be shot into the excavation; in many cases be eyen exacts a small sum for every load tilted on his ground. The surface being thus leveled, a year or two are allowed for the soil to sink and become compact. Occasionally grass Is sown ;to give a natural appearance to the spot All Is now in readiness for tbe build­ er, who proceeds to lay the foundation for hia “terraces.” “avenues" and “gar­ dens,”, which he subsequently adver­ tises as “on gravel soil.” So they are, but between.thelr ground floors and the gravel lies a thick stratum of partially decomposed rubbish, teaming with malaria, and not for many years will the deposits cease to give off noxloua gases. But the tenant coming from a dif­ ferent locality, knows nothing of the “making” process to which tbe plot has been subjected. When, therefore, ill health dogs his family, he puts It dowh to defective drainage or some other structural deficiency and spends money freely on remedial measure* without tbe least benefit All this misery might be prevented if it were legally prohibited to build human habi­ tations on decomposed refuse until the soil had acquired a wholesome char­ acter.—London Globe. How They Treated Waahta<t«a. . As an example of the progress of medicine during the last century The Medical Record cites tbe case of Wash­ ington’s last Illness. He died of laryn­ geal diphtheria, and the treatment was, It would seem, for an old man sick with a disease, very exhausting to the vitality. It consisted In the abstrac­ tion of between two and three quarts of blood, the administration of about 20 grains of calomel and G grains of tartar emetic and an injection, with ex­ ternal application of blister.

A rather curious method of burglar catching was resorted to by au In­ genious maidservant recently in New York. As The Electrical Review tells the story, while In pursuit of her household duties the maid noticed a man's foot inside the clothes clotft*. She did not scream, neither did she jump at the door nor shut it with a bang. Instead she took a broom and began to «weep that corner of the room near tbe clorfet Her approach was gradual, and the sweeping was done so naturally that It would not have aroused the most 'suspicious bur­ glar. At last the broom brashed tbedoor gently, but hard enough to close it to the fraction of an Inch. With five or six more gentle sweeps that closet door was shut and almost latched, which she at length succeeded in doing by gently pressing her amj against It As tbe telephone in- her house was so near the closet that th? burglar would be able To hear her If »be called for assistance, she bethought herself of another plan.

If these same people would first bathe their feet in warm water, and tnen rub them with Om Oil, they could wear their shoes from morning bedtime. Omega Oil is a liniment that contains a rare little Swiss green herb that goes in through the pores of the skin and stops pain. It takes out the soreness, removes the tenderness, reduces swellings; invigorates the tired muscles, and causes all the bad odors arising from perspiration to disappear. That’s a good deal for one remedy to do, but Omega Oil does it just the same. It is good for everything a liniment ought to be good for. < >u reading .and fillng the petition duly veri­ fied. of Theodore G.

Jan. 27, 1901. X Sunday, 2 p. m. Dear Ones at Home:—We are all pret­ ty well this morning and went to church down in the Quartel de Espana (Spanish Quarter) inhere the 20th Regiment'attends. The service was Epis­ copalian. We Raw many of the officers and families of the 20th, Uncles old regiment. Before we went to the chapel we stopped, in ah immense old church inside the wall. It is the finest one we have been in yet, and was sim­ ply Wonderful. There were chapels all along the sides, and the big main altar was full of statuary’, gold, lace, caudles, etc. But when you think of where the money came from to build the gorgeous churches of which Manila is full—neither can you go five miles in any direction outside the city but there is an immense church—you can but feel that it is a mistaken idea of Christianity, yet there is no doubt but that the splendid ceremonials of the Catholic church exercise a great in­ fluence over these people. Last night We drove around and went in three more churches. In one, or at one, they were having a “fiesta,” or feast. There were great crowds of natives, booths and altars all over the plaza, the big front of the church lighted by candles or lanterns (like our public buildings in large cities with electricity) that a man was patiently lighting from a lad­ der. Inside it was perfectly beautiful. The altar air gold, silver, and great candle sticks with candles. There is one Madonna that they use in proces­ sions down in the. walled city that is worth two million dollars, they say. The jewels on her and ■fler gown are immense, and the latter is stiff with gold. • Friday afternoon we went up the river in a launch with a crowd of the 30th people. The launch stopped out behind the house, and Auntie and I got in a miserable banca, and so em­ barked. The launch stuck in the mud, and we . were afraid for a time we wouldn’t get off. It was a beautiful trip, and all familiar ground to the 20th. They fought in through here. The bamboos hanging over the river looked so much like willows that the scenery did not seem very tropical. We saw lots of natives washing, and funny old shacks or shanties we would call them. You see carabao every­ where, only a few had birds^ on their backs, however,—another theory ex­ ploded. We landed near the town of Pasig, about six miles up the river, and walked up to the town. The 20th was stationed there, in the old church. The top was off the dome, and the main altar was quite a~ ruin, but it must have been beautiful once. They were having school there. We also went into a cemetery. The graves are in the sides of the walls, coffins put in like pans In an oven. They remain as long as the rent is paid for them, after which they are taken out, and the bodies thrown into a literal “bone yard.” The church and shops showed many marks of bullets and shells. ♦ ♦ None of the children’s mammas used wool soap at Pasig. ♦ * The trip home, just as the sun was setting, was beautiful. Some of our party landed at MacArthur’s wharf, the “Gobierno” or Governor, as it says on the gate. It was jqst dark when we came to Manila. We came down past our house, the orphan asylums, under the Ayala Bridge, the Suspension Bridge and the J’onte de Espana, or Bridge of Spain, and landed near Fort Santiago. Sunday, Feb. 3rd.

Shook was tried before Justice DeGolia of Middleville and the case was ad­ journed until today. The sad news was received yesterday forenoon of the death of Mrs. Mason Nevins, of Wichita, Kansas. Nothing is known of the cause of her death, but it was very sudden. The many friends of Mr. Nevins in the city extend their sympathy to’him. The funeral will be held Saturday. About two weeks ago Mrs., Willis Rolfe of Grand; Rapids; formerly a resident of this city, scratched the end of her fingers on a pin. Blood- poison set inK and her arm commenced to swell badly. She was taken to the hospital, where it was decided' that the arm must be amputated near the elbow iu order to save her life. Her friends here will reget to learn of her misfortune. The interest of the Women’s Club in taking action looking to the improve­ ment of the city in various ways is most commendable, and we believe the work of the various committees will be productive of much good. Hastings is recognized as one of the prettiest places in the state and the action of tbe Women’s Club in looking to its further improvement should meet with the hearty approval of all.

It is a duty I have to meet, even though it involves A strictly unpleasantness. I intend to meet it as flrM-cUaa I have tried to meet all matters in the .nirdmi pant, fairly, honestly and conscientious­ op-to-date ly I may err in judgment.

What I say in this opinion ia not said Raia, $2, $2.50, $3 per Dau in malice. It is easy to be bitter, to say bitter things, to say unkind, dis­ courteous words. I have no lack of friendship for any who have been con­ nected with th* case. I rtgard tbe officers who were engaged in tbe pros­ ecution of this CMe. and J include of course the lawyers interested in it, very highly. If they are not my friends I cannot help it; I am their friend and I mean to be just to all. I believe they have acted conscientiously and hon­ estly. For Mr. Colgrove, who has seemed to be the target for tbe moat severe criticism, and who in fact hM been criticised for acts that be had nothing to do with,.I have a high re­ win follow. Have yon aay of the followgard as a lawyer and arfriend. We have disagreed about matters on many ; Oat, Acbtef Paine, Itchiness of the Skin, occasions. I have a most kindly and fraternal feeling for every member of the bar of thia county. I treat them all courteously, and I believe there is not one of them that thinks otherwise. I make matters as easy for them m I can, I have been in active practice and I know wbat it means to have courteous treatment from tbe court. I shall be surprised if there is a member of tbe bar that will suggest that Mr. Hastings City Bank, Griswold House BtOnPUSM CURES GUARANTEED. DBS. KENNEDY & KERGAN DETROIT MICHIGAN. Worth SLOO chan I have shown to others, it is mere­ ly because he has been more in court then tbe others. Never since I have been on tbe bench has Mr. Colgrove in any way tried to influence me to do any act except as he has done it by argument in open court: It I have been in error in pass­ ing sentence on Allen McOmber it should not be charged to Mr. Colgrove, and any statement that my friendship for him has Jed me in this case to fail ro do my duty, is unjust. The records uf tbe court will bear me out in saying that be receives no favors,as favors, in court, and never has received them and to the record I appeal. That is made and cannot be wiped out. I have known Mr. Colgrove for more than -twenty years, and for nearly two| thirds of that time I wm oaociated with him in business. In all our busin-*M dealings and relations as partners and since I have been on tbe bench, I have yet to meet the first time that be hM proposed to me anything that wm not in line with honesty, integrity and oyalty to his client. I have said these rhings because I think they ought to iw said in justice not only to Mr. Col>4rove but to myaetf, and to meet tbe suggestion that tbe court’s friendship '* of that character that he may be led away from doing exact justice because uf it. i I regret tbat this opinion will nee-H«arily be of greater length than it oriinariiy would be. I intend to make u a* brinf as I can and lay before tbe »*eop>e what I believe to be tbe true oituation. If I am eritteiaed. I shall try to stand it without flinching. I know that tbe action of tbe court will everybody. opinion ia read and weighed impartially and without prejuaice. a large ity of tbe people of this county will not only say that I did very nearly the proper thing, if not wholly, in this sen­ tence. but that I do wbat I ought to do in tbe disposition of this motion I do not expect that all will say this, but I submit it to the people and must take their judgment, m must any mad^ho accepts public office. \ There are. only two questions that 1 care to take up.in thia opinion, and only one of them is of much impor­ tance. Tbat one is, wm the court mis­ led by any one to impose a sentence tbat be would not have pronounced ban be known the true aituation? Tbe other question is, wm the sentence se­ vere enough? So far m tbe first and important question is concerned a statement of the situation and of tbe material facts in the case m far as the sentence is concerned, will not be at all out of place. During tbe latter part of 1898 there was considerable complaint made by tbe cititens of Hastings of stealing. This complaint bad reached such an extent that the citizens formed a com­ mittee to investigate and finally the matter developed in the arrest of the McOmber brothers, Grace, Thorpe and Campbell. It cannot be doubted but that they were ail concerned in tbe wholesale business of robbing their fel­ low men. Tbe offenses were closely connected in point of time and all were committed under a scheme to steal deliberately. Grace and Thorpe laid the greater part of the blame on the McOmbers; tbe McOmbers, on Grace and Thorpe. Mr. Colgrove had been employed by the committee before mentioned to assist in tbe investiga­ tion of these matters, while Mr. Sulli­ van was prosecuting attorney. After Mr. Thomas assumed the -duties of tbe office, Mr. Colgrove wm still retained in the same capacity- and to all ap­ pearances had charge of tbe cases. The matters were talked over at various times by myself and Mr. Colgrove and Mr. ThomM and I knew about the sit­ uation in a general way. Thorpe and Grace pleaded guilty on tbe 13tb day of February. 1899. On that date a mo­ tion to continue tbe McOmber cues was denied and tbe cases were set for trial February 27. Afterward tbe date erf trial was postponed to Monday, Apr. 11. 1899. A'T^w days preceding this date, I think it was Monday or Tuesday preceding, Mr. Colgrove said to me that there was a possibility tbat the McOmbers would plead guilty. He said tbat Mr. Knappen did not want the matter in any way made public be­ cause in the event tbat itx should fall through be did not want bis client to be prejudiced on tbe trial. Later on, perhaps a day or two after, be said to me tbat Mr. Knappen bad said to him that if it could be arranged to .take care of all the cases and be could be assured tbat they would not be pros­ ecuted further and that Allen McOm­ ber should not hare to exceed one year in prison and John McOmber a fine sufficient to pay tbe costs, they would plead guilty. He said to me that he believed the ends of justice wnuifLbe subserved if that course were taken.. He said that it had been talked quite freely tbat Allen would never be sent to. prison and that in view of the situ­ ation and tbe legal complications sur­ rounding tbe cases, which had been talked about before, and the fact tbat the greater part of tbe evidence came from parties who were themselves un­ der indictment, it waa his judgment tbat it would be better to do this than to be to the expense of a trial and take the chances tbat always accompany tbe trial of a criminal cause, however strong the case of the people seems to be. iMkedhim if Mr. Thomas knew about the matter and bad been con­ sulted, be said be had not for tbe rea­ sons before given, but tbat the matter should be laid before him m soon as it wm determined what tbe respondents would do. I also learned that tbe costs would be about 1500. I gave the matter the very best con- ; side ration I could; I drew on my exGrience as a judge dealing with crim-1 sla, an experience covering years, my experience at the bar and my observa­ tion of other eases. I considered the cases from every standpoint I could conceive of; I considered the fact that there were others who must stand be­ fore the bar of Juatioe; I felt that tbe eases cwuld very eMily be considered together, because they were in fact a continuous offense by five men carried onTor tbe sake of gain. The goods stolen bad all or nearly all been re­ turned. I thought of all sides of tbe ease, of wbat it would mejn if by atffoagreement of a jury, and it only takes one man to bang a jury, these men should escape punishment. I called to my aid the experience and observation of the past. With one exception these men had never before been charged with a crime in a court of justice^"! never acted with more care, never gave a matter better consideration in my life and I never did an net more eonwrientiously than in this cbm. I came to tbe conclusion that these on, that if these men came into court as two % of the accused already had come, and acknowledged the wrong, I would be lenient with them I intend­ ed to be merciful to them, but not as merciful u Mr. Knappen bad suggest I »*»d to Mr. Colgrove that he to, Mr Knappen that if tbe McOmbers pleaded guilty. Allen's aeotence should not exceed two years in : prison and John’s should not exceed use y«tf. and that as to the fine I did nog thins |500 wm enough and if the sentences in prison were made not to exceed two and one years respectfully.

At that time I did not expect tbat the McOmbers would plead guilty, nor did they give any intimaUo®, eo far m tbe court is concerned, tbat they would do ao until the afternoon of that day. In fact intercessions were made for them by those interested in them until nearly, if not quite noon of that day. . After dinner I went to the court­ room u court wm in MM»n. The parlies inthreated in tbe matter were all there, u were raneothera I then learned that tbe MeOtnbeea were <o K- ad euiltj. Mr. ThomM wm there. . Colgroee told me'tbal Mr. Thoma, knew aboos the arrangement hoc that be fell a little bort because be bad not been conferred with and that Mr. Knappen wm then in conference with him. I then bad tbe McOmbers come to my- room m tbe law provides, and talked with them about tbe cate; and while I as id nothing to them about it, from what I then learned-I made up tny mind that six months for John Mc­ Omber would be sufficient, and because of tbat when I sentenced him I made it six months. The conference being closed, the McOmbers went back into the court­ room. Mr. Knappen concluded his conference with Mr. ThomM and came to me and said tbat Mr. ThomM un­ derstood tbe matter but did not want to dismiss the other cases then though he would do so after a little. He pas­ sed into the court-room. I went in and court wa» convened. Mr. ThomM, speaking for the people, said that he understood the McOmbers desired to plead guilty to receiving the Goodyear stock, knowing it to be stolen property. They stood up in court and pleaded guilty. Mr. Thomas at once moved for sentence and sentence was pronounced. Nothing had ever been said to me ap to tbat time about a dismissal of the cases except wbat I have here men­ tioned. Tbe dismissal of a case is upon the motion of either tbe Prosecuting Attorney, or the defense, as in this case. If by the Prosecuting Attorney, the court usually grants it at once; if by th? defense, it usually involves op­ position and a hearing, as in this case, and I have held this motion to ascer­ tain, if posaib’e, whether there was any fraud or misrepresentation in the case. That this lenience was to cover tbe cases then pending, was fully under­ stood by thrtourt. No one understood that it would wipe out tbe cases; they would stand against these parties, whether dismissed or not, until th? Statute of Limitations should be a bar to them. New or other complaints could be made but no court who meas­ ures up to the position he occupies would in my judgment, if he knew tbe facts m I have stated them, permit them to be prosecuted unless the con­ duct of the respondents after r?l?a«»frnm prison wm such as to warrant it. That Mr. Thomas understood tbat it was to cover all the cases would seem to me to be free from doubt. Mr. Knappen says so in his affidavit. Mr. ThomM admits it, although denying tbat he agreed to dismiss the other cases. Tbe fact tbat th? court sent Mr. Thomas to Mr. Colgrove. saw him in.conference■ with Mr. Knappen, re­ ceived from Mr. Knappen the informa­ tion.as to what Mr. Thomas bad said to him, Mr. Thomas’s going into the court and taking the pleM and mov­ ing for sentence after the pleM were taken, would seem to me to fully jus­ tify tbe court in tbe conclusion that he thoroughly understood the matter. Tbe very situation of tbe matter is such that I cannot see bow any thinking person could come to any other con­ clusion. To say that a man with four cases pending against him, all of the same general nature, all committed in connection with each other, would come into court represented by an able lawyer, plead guilty to one case, with tbe expectation of returning from prison after his time was out, walking into court and either pleading guilty to a second offence or standing trial on it. is not very complimentary to bis intelligence. That arrangements by which pleas of guilty are taken with an understand­ ing of what tbe maximum of punish­ ment is to be. are frequent, no one who has any knowledge of guurta will deny. It occurs frequently in criminal courts and is a proper thing in many cswes to save expense and bring persons to speedy justice. I am therefore satisfied that no fraud bM been practiced on or mis­ representation made to any one and tbat these cases ought not longer to stand on Uis court calendar against these men.

THOMAS’ RtPlY (Continued fron page one.) rented toor refused, but took the matter under advisement; if it was wrong when, after I had considered the mat­ ter, I deemed it right to hold j the cases 011 the calendar; if it was wrong for me to oppose the parole of Allen McOmber as hard as I could; if it was wrong after I found out that he was paroled, and through this parole in mv mind a miscarriage of justice, for me to immediately to give notice of my intention to bring the cases on for trial; if it was wrong for me at the last term of .court to have every witness whose name appeared on the information, except those who had died or bad removed out of the state, subpoenaed, and everything ready for trial; I say if I was wrong in this course then I willingly accept public censure, and while others may; I will not seek to throw the responsibility upon any one but myself and will not attempt to get behind any •‘shield." If tbe course as taken by me has been a mistake I am willing to. take crit­ icism therefor like a man, but I have every reason to feel from the kind words that come to me from all parts of the county, and I take this oppor­ tunity to express ihy gratitude to the many friends who hate encouraged me in my course, that the people through the courtesy of whose votes I hold the office of prosecuting attorney, have the utmost confidence tn my integrity. Thanking yuu for the space you have kindly given iu.vour.paper, I am, ■ Sincerely yours, C. H. Thomas. The things for which we criticise him did not happen last fall or last sum mer, but happened more than two .years ago, as we have explained. In his last article, be speaks of him­ self as only an “aariatant attorney” iu these cases. Plainly tha. is what he ought to have been. Hut we be­ lieve hb actions in these cases stamp him as the most bumptious '.“assistant attorney” on record, since he ignored the Prosecutor ‘in the negotiation for sentences ih these cases, and claimed to Mr. Knappen that he was the whole thing. . . _ We feel that it would be an injus­ tice to close this article without a further reference to Judge Smith. We believe him incapable in any case <f being influenced by bad or corrupt motives. We know, his fixed purpose is to do right in all cases. We said iu our first article that tbe only charge that could be brought against him we believed, for his part in the final dispositions pf the McOmber cases was that he had been influenced too much by his well known friendship for. Mr. Colgrove. We did not mean tbat he was influenced in an unworthy sense. The facts are that Mr. Colgrove wanted much lighter sentences than those given by the Judge. There was no trial of the McOmbers, so tbe Judge had no personal knowledge of the strength of the people’s cases. He followed the usual custom where prisoners expect to plead guilty and consulted the people’s counsel, and COOL YOUR BLOOD promised never to prosecute these cases must have been at the same time Mrs. Lathrop testifies to, in June or July Now Mrs. Lathrop in her affidavit says FLORIDA “This deponent further says that the said Chas.

It is In the extensive regions where Irrigation fe a prim^ necessity in agri­ culture that the special uses of the snow come chiefly into view. All j through the winter the snow is falling I upon the high mountains and packing j ttuaie __ i..in1 itself firmly Into the ravines. rr-t Thus nature’s great Icehouse a' supply of moisture Is stored up for the following summer. Ali through the warm months the hardened snow banks are melting grad­ ually. In trickling streams they stead­ ily foed .the rivers, which as they flow through the valleys ore utilized for irri­ gation. If this moisture fell as rain. It would almost immediately wash 'down through the rivers, which would hardly be fed at all In the summer, when the • crops most need water. These facts are so well known as to be commonplace in the Sait Lake valley and^ln the subarid regions of the west generally. They are not so well understood In New Jersey or Ohio, where snow Is sometimes a pictur­ esque, sometimes a disagreeable, fea­ ture of winter. In all parts of the country the notion prevails that snow Is of great value as a fertilizer. Scientists, however, are inclined to attach less importance to its service In soil nutrition—for some re­ gions which have no snow are exceed­ ingly fertile—tiian to its worth as a blan­ ket during the months of high winds. It prevents the blowing off of the finely pulverized richness of the top soil. This, although little perceived, would often be a very great loss.

Dry Thin and Falling Hair and Red Rough Hands Prevented by CUTICUBA SOAP Millions Use Cuticura Soap, assisted by Coticura Oner* for preserving, purifying and beautifying the skin, for cleans­ ing the scalp of crusts, scales and dandruff and the stopping of fall­ ing hair, for softening, whitening and soothing red, rough and sore hands, in the form of baths for annoying irritations, intianimations and chafings, or too free or offensive perspiration, in the form of washes, for ulcerative weaknesses and for many sanative antiseptic purposes which readily suggest themselves to women, and especially to mothers, and for all the purposes of the toilet, bath and nursery. No amount of persuasion can induce those who have once used it, to use any other, especially for preserving and purifying the skin* scalp and hair of infants and children. Cvticura Soap combines delicate emollient properties derived from Cuticura, the great skin cure, with the puqsst of cleansing ingredients and the most refresh­ ing of flower odors. No other medicated soap ever compounded is to be compared with it for preserving, purifying and beaatitying the skin, scalp, hair and hands. No other foreign or domestic tailct soap, however expensive, is to be compared with it for all the pur­ poses of’the toilet, bath and nursery.

"Yon can get back this wny.” ^ts mother said, and showed it the way. But when the liaby tried ta leap It fell back ou It* back.

"When the sun cornea out after the rain,” the mother replied, "then you will know bow to sing.” ‘T shall never be able to fly or sing!” it wailed. Then of a sudden it had to blink its eyes, for a glorious light had spread over the world, catching every leaf and twig and blade of grass lu tears and putting a smile Into every tear. The baby bird's breast swelled. It did not know why. It fluttered from the ground. It did not know why. "The sun has come out after the rain!" It trilled. "Thank you. sun I Thank you. thank you!

In certain parts of India railway en­ gineers have many difficulties to en­ counter, some of them more amusing to read about than to experience. Of one such difficulty the following story is told: A freight train was lumbering along, when a big elephant came out of the woods and undertook^to butt the en­ gine off the track. The engineer did not like to charge the brute for fear of an upset and several times reversed the engine In the vain hope that the ele­ phant would take that as a sign of sur­ render and retire. Finally the elephant backed Into the engine and, setting its forefeet firmly between the rails, endeavored to push the train backward with its hind quar­ ters. * The engineer promptly put on all steam, toppled the elephant over a small embankment, and before It could recover its senses the train passed on.

A good American baH been making some soul stirring remarks about the glorious star spangled banner when an Englishman who Is pretty well Ameri­ canized told a little story apropos: “I remember once to have seen the stars and stripes applauded uproariously on a peculiar occasion. It happened many years ago when the British flag wasn’t as popular In the United States as it is now and a party of us Englishmen were at a theater in. New York consid­ erably farther down town than thea­ ters are how to be found on Broadway. The. play was ’Richard I,’ and if you re­ member there is a scene In the play where Richard, after putting his foes to flight In terrific style, mounts the walls of Acre and plants the British colors there. Evidently the manage­ ment knew the temper of the audience and felt that even under such circum­ stances the British flag would not be a good. thing, so what did they do but give Richard the star spangled banner, and, by all the gods, be took It with him in the charge and planted It on Acre’s walls. It was- ridiculous, of course, and we Englishmen laughed, but the audience took it quite as the correct thing, and the way the people stormed and shouted and clapped was enough to have made Richard turn over In his grave. Historically It was ■way off, dramatically It was open to criticism, but patriotically ft was a howling success.”—Washington Star. “Few people know.” said Dr. J. C.

He asked me then why I did not dis­ miss them. I told him because I did not think it waa rtjht. In reply to that statement of mine Mr. Cooksaid:— “If I did not think it was right I would not do ao.” The Impression I received, as I said, was. in his judgment that the casee should be dismissed and the ad­ vise he gave me upon that question was to do nothing that I did not think was right, aud such advise as that is certainly worthy of emulation.

Greusel, who has for some limo been serving in the army In the 1’hilippinee, has been transferred from active service to a position In the gov­ ernment machine shops at Manila, at a splendid increase of salaryUncle Sam, being very desirous of securing machinists for government employ was very glad to secure his service, and through the efforts of Major Niskem, his transfer from the army waa secured. J (/> ‘ Cole Brothers are building a large addition to their hotel at Thornapple Lake and are surrounding the building with a wide veranda. The grounds will also be improved. Mrs. H. A. Barber met with a severe accident Monday night by falling down the cellar stairs. She was rendered unconscious for some time. Fortu­ nately no bones were broken, but she sustained bruises and injuries which have confined her to her bed. The residence of Jacob Edger, who lives five miles west of the city, was burned to the ground Sunday after­ noon. They were at the dinner table when it was discovered that the.tapper story was a mass of flames. Only a small portion of the contents was saved. The loss is partially covered by $1,500 insurance. An article which has recently ap­ peared in many papers has given some people to understand that Major Niskern is no longer connected with the regular army, which is not true. Maj­ or Niakern was a Captain in the regular army, and later was made a major in the Volunteer army. The army bill, recently passed, has done away with volunteer service and, accordingly M&jor Niakern received an honorable discharge from the volunteer service, and was made a Major in the regular army. A special to the Grand Rapids Her­ ald from this city last Friday said: “The Hastings Electric Ugbt^and Power company, capitalized at $60,000, is in process of formation, and electric lighting service will be furnished Hasings, Middleville, Nashville, Caledonia, Parmelee and possibly Lake Odessa. Water power rights in the Thornapple river between Alaska and Caledonia have been secured and a big dam will be built and power house erected. Has­ tings is the only town having electric lights now. S, D. Kopf of Grand Rap­ ids, vice president of the M. B. Wheeler Electric company, is a leading spirit in the enterprise. The effort of the Women’s Club looking to the doing away with expec­ torating on the prominent streets of the city ought to meet with hearty ap­ proval. Vhile no doubt much of it is done thoughtlessly yet that is no abatement of the nuisance, and the ladies- can in no wise be censured, both for their desire to beautify the city and their desire to avoid pools of to­ bacco spit through which they have to wade. Let the good work go on. Let Hastings fall in line with the example being set by other progressive cities. Let Hastings add to the reputation it has of being one of the prettiest cities in the state, the name of being one of the cleanest. Tuesday the writer called on A. Black & Son at their new location, No. 4 Pearl St., Grand Rapids, and found everything indicating a very prosperous and successful business. The firm has the first floor and basement of a build ing, 100 feet long by 25 feet wide, and every inch of available space is used. A large show room, 25 byNJO feet is filled with a Urge stock of monuments, constantly carried on hand. The stock carried by A. Black & Son is greater than that of any firm in the State. Eight men are constantly on the road soliciting orders and about a dozen men are employed in the work room. The very latest and most im­ proved methods for converting rough stone into the finished product have been adopted. Ths old mallets and chisels have been discarded and in their places pneumatic tools, operated by compressed air under 60 pounds pressure, have been introduced, effect­ ing a great saving of time as well as adding to the effectiveness and beauty of the designs. Messrs. Black A Son are too well known in this city andcounty to need any introduction. They always enjoyed a large trade here and expect to hold it, and will pay the railroad fare both ways of any one expecting to purchase goods in their line. This is certainly a very liberal offer and any one buying, of them can have the benefit of selecting from the largest stock of goods in the State, as well as tho Utest aud best designs, and superior workmanship. Mr. Black’s is enjoying such a prosperous PERSONAL MENTION. ^E. W. Morrill went to Chicago Mon: R. B. Messer is in the east on busiAndrus is the guest of Rich­ land friends.

French . of Middleville, father of Reg French, of that village, recently returned from a trip to Eng­ land. In conversation he expressed himself as more pleased than ever with the United States, and that there is a gloom over the country that has a very depressing effect. He says that business over there is dull, taxes are very high, and that the old country is feeling very strongly the growing com­ petition of the United States, in all lines of business. Owing to the war in South Africa there is a great drain upon the resources of the country; many of the people are in mourning for relatives, who have lost their lives in battles with the Boers; and the gen­ eral situation is anything but hopeful or encouraging for the people. Aeaday afternoon several of the aiderman and citizens of the city went to the bookcase factory and presented the institution with $1000.00 subscribed by the citizens and were shown through the plant. From an inspection of the institution it is plainly apparent that this prosperous factory is without ade quate fire protection, and an effort will doubtless be made to render this defect soon. The bookcase factory gives promise of being one of the best institutions in the city and too much cannot be done for it in the way of suitable fire protection. As has been stated in these columns before, it is proposed to build ajarge store room and finishing room on the foundation walls of the building destroyed by fire. 3 * *1 *1 LADIES’ READY MADE WRAPPERS 90 g $200 We are always anxious to please our customers and have secured a line of Ladies Ready-Made Wrappers that without doubt excel any other make that has ever been offered in the city.

A small crowd of shivering sports witnessed the opening of the base-ball season at the fair grounds Saturday The morning game between the Mid­ dleville and Woodland high schools was a good one, the latter winning by a 9 to 6 score. Mead and Early did the battery work for the winners, Johnson and Pierson for Middleville. The af­ ternoon game between the Hastings and Freeport aggregations was a long drawn out affair, the local team finally winning by a score of 20 to 18. The game was a disappointment, to the spectators, aud the home team will have xoterve up a better article of ball if it expects to win the championship. Good plays were as scarce as clothes on a Filipino, and the time not spent in slumbering was a medley of fumbles wild throws and other bad errors' Several good catches by the infield and outfield showed that with a little more ginger and good practice the team can put up a first class article of ball. In spite of the fact that both pitchers were left handed, they were batted hard. Brown and Combe acted as battery for Freeport, while Striker and Greusel officiated for the home team.

Sanford Bailey was released from the Kalamazoo Asylum Tuesday of last week and returned to this city. After calling upon his friends he went to] Nashville where- his wife is living. It j is said that she refused to live with him again, and that he immediately exhibited signs of returning insanity. He was brought to Hastings Thursday night by < Deputy Brooks and George Coe. Friday morning they went to the jail for breakfast, Sheriff Cortright be­ ing absent at the time. While Mr. Coe and Mr. Brooks were in an adjoining room Bailey suddenly disappeared. Search was made and Bailey was reKrted as having been seen near the okcase factory. Marshal Gebhardt and several others went after him, but Bailey saw them coming, and throwing off his hat and coat jumped into the river. The officers captured him, how­ ever, and lodged him in the jail. He was returned to the asylum Saturday by officer Brooks. Since his release Bailey seemed perfectly sane at times, and some of his friends refused to be­ lieve that he was still deranged until bis actions on Friday. The circum­ stances of his case are pitiful, his little children having been sent to the state school at Coldwater, a short time after he was taken to the asylum several months ago, and it is said that the scattered household served to again render him Insane.

L through the heart __________________ HA5TINO3, MICHIGAN, JOHN J. PERKINS INTERE3TINQ HI3TORY HIRArt COLEHAN OF JOHNSTOWN SHOT HIMSELF COHONF.fLJ JURY DISAGREED WHETHER death resulted from suicide OR BY ACCIDENT. The friends of Hiram Coleman, a well known and prosperous fartner of Johnstown township, were shocked r.t the report that he hpd committee! suixc de Saturday morning. George E. Coleman, the present town>hip clerk of Johnstown township lives! with his lather. It happened that Saturday morning Jerome Fish was tit Mr. Coleman’s to do some mason work, and with Mr., Coleman arose quite* early to arrange for tiie .lay’s work. After having /been out i.» the bams and outbuildings they came back to the house and George a.krd if his father had got .up yet, and was informed that he had. Mr, Cuh tnaii and Mr. Fikh then went out •.■nd took an outside measurement of she woodshed, or work-shop at the rear uf the house, and after this Fish went in to lake an inside measurement, and as he stepped into the building was horrified to find the remains of Hiram Coleman, a gaping wound over his heart- the charge of shot having gone through that organ, a shotgun and a t ick lying near him. The Coleman resi i.ence is a very large and long building. It happened that the family were em­ ployed in the front part of the house. Mrs. Coleman heard a muffled report. , but thought of course that it was the mason getting ready for his work did thought nothing further about it. Immediately after the body was fnund. which - was about half past live o’d<Mjk in the morning. Dr. Fay of BAntleld was summoned, as was Jusi^ce I.. C. .Edtuuuds. The latter im­ panelled a jury, composed of C. E. Paul, Joseph Brininstool, Peter Stan­ ley. Smith Stanley, Henry King and* Henry Bowman. The jury disagreed as to. whether it was a suicide or an accidental shooting. Those who knew Mr. Coleman know that suicide, under ordinary circum­ stances, would be entirely foreign to his nature.

Perkins, of Prairieville: * Among the leading members of the house who represent the rural districts o! th? state is John J. Perkins of Bar­ ry county. Mr. Perkins has had an in­ teresting and historical career since his birth, December 14, 1827, and his republicanism has been unassailable, since that great political party was or­ ganized under the spreading boughs of the. revered oak at Jackson. Mich. Mr. Perkins' is the tallest, largest and old­ est member of the house.. He is in the Seventy-fourth year of his birth and is over six feet in height. His hair is generously frosted by the hand of time and the characteristic “cut” of his beard is in keeping with the style adopted by his forefathers. Mr. Perkins started on the same plane of life on which th*' lamented Garfield began his career and served as a mule driver on the canal with the departed president of the United States. He Is a product of the state of Ohio, which has produced some of the most sturdy and nigged citizens of the United States. As a mule driver he worked with the late president and they changed trips as long as they worked on the same route, one making the return trip for the other. Mr. Per­ kins was also a friend of the historical John Brown, who gave up his life in behalf of the freedom of the colored race. In the early history of Ohio, where Mr. Perkins was bom, John Brown was a country school teacher in the vicinity where he was bom. Mr. Perkins attended school under the tutorship of John Brown, whose “soul goes marching on” and he recalls many incidents of the old red school where Brown “wielded the blue beech.” CORRESPONDENCE.

Gooding, president of the Ore­ gon Wool Grower’s Association, in a recent address to that body, gave the following reasons for the lowering in the price of wool. It is my judgment that the wool growers of the country need not give themselves any uneasiness about the reduction of the tariff on wool for the next four years. The question is often asked, “What is the matter with tbe wool market in this country today?” and “why has wool declined in the last year?” Wool is selling cheaper in the London markets today than it has for the last decade. We can be thankful that we are not compelled to compete directly with the low price of wool abroad, for if we were, our wool would hardly bear the expense of transporta­ tion to market, and the sheep industry would receive a ha/der biow than it did in those years under the Wilson bill. The Cuban delegation which visited this country to talk over with- the Pres­ ident and other officials the “Platt” amendment, completed their work Sat­ urday and have sailed for home. It is known that the Cubans will recommenctl^at their people accept the pro­ visions of the amendment, and doubt­ less the people of the island will do it The President informed the Cubans that immediately after the government was organised, he believed the United States would be ready to deal with Cuba in a manner that would be bene­ ficial to both countries, and the utmost of good feeling prevailed during tbe conference and after it was finished. A deficit of 8266,000,000 and a loan of 8300,000,000’ That is the story of the condition of the British treasury as pre­ sented for the • consideration of the British nation by the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the presence of the House of Commons last Thursday af­ ternoon. Not quite like our own treas­ ury with its growing surplus! And still there are some people who believe that the people of the United States are yet at the mercy of John Bull every time they wanUto pay one of their fast decreasing old debts or raise a few million of dollars for a new commercial enterprise. Our exports to Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines are growing all the time. A table prepared by the Treas­ ury Bureau of Statistics, shows the amount of these exports for eight months in each year, ending with Feb­ ruary, from 1896 to 1901 inclusive. In 1897 our exports to Cuba amounted, to 85,423,189, to Porto Rico >1,454,517, and to the Philippines 882,838. In 1901 to Cuba >17,236,752, tq Porto Rico >4,295,954, and to the Philippines 82,­ 767381. Senator Frye returns from San Do­ mingo convinced that the United Statea would not take the Island even if the people should ask to be annexed. The notion that Unele Ban. Is holding open the door to the world is a decided error.

In his home and family Mr. Goodyear was all that a husband and father should be. Loving, thoughtful, solicit­ ous and generous, his memory will be a perpetual blessing to those kindred henceforth to be denied the pleasure of his presence and counsel. Mr. Goodyear was a member of Emmanuel Episcopal church Since its inception. *He was also a member of Hastings Lodge, F. and A. M.anda past master in the order. These were the only affiliations of the kind which claimed his attention. The funeral servi«*es were held from the family residence' on Broadway, Tuesday afternoon at 3.-00 o’clock, and as a mark of respect to the de ceased, and in accordance with a proc­ lamation of the mayor, the business "Phteeaof the city were closed during the hour of the funeral. The remains, surrounded by a profusion of beauti­ ful Howers and floral offerings lay in state in the front parlor of the resi­ dence from 9.W o’clock in the morning until the funeral hour, and many who were unable to attend the services came to pay their tribute of respect and look for the last time upon the famil­ iar features of the dead. The funeral was largely attended; the sermon was by Rev. James Brown, rector of Em­ manuel Episcopal church and contained many words of comfort to the bereaved. Interment was in the beautifutfamily plot in Riverside cemetery. IN MLMORIAM- \ Mr. Henry A. Goodyear, senior war­ den of Emmanuel church, Hastings, Mich, since Its organization, N6v. 9th, 1SG3, fell asleep peacefully in Jesus, on the morning of May 5, 1901, in the 83d year of his age. The vestry of the church, while griev­ ing over what seems its greatest loss, recognizes a loving Father’s hand, and desires to put on record their appreci­ ation of Air. Goodyear’s high worth as an earnest, sincere, loyal churchman, a generous Christian man, whose inter­ est in his own parish was constant, at­ tending to the affairs of the church' even to the last month of his life, whose welfare was always dear to him, and its activities never lacking his cordial and ready aid. So many years of association for Christ aud his church draw the bonds fit personal friendship very closely and so the memory of this dear friend taken from us will always be most, precious and enduring. He realizes now his reward in the church triumphant, and while we deep­ ly mourn the separation which will de. prive us of his mature judgmentjn our future deliberations, and shall miss the promptness and courtesy with which he' always responded to every good work, we thank God for the good ex­ ample of his servant, who, having fin­ ished his course, now rests from his labors. Resolved, That we tender to his wid­ ow and children our sincere sympathy in their bereavement and that a copy o'f these resolutions be sent to them with assurance of our high regard for our associate and Christian brother. Resolved, That the foregoing be en­ tered in full upon the minutes ef the church, and that they be published in the city papers, and a copy be furnished the Church Helper for publication.

May 6.—Seven persons were burned to death, three fatally In­ jured and several others slightly burned and otherwise Injured In a fire that destroyed a three-story apartment building at 9311 Marquette avenue, South Chicago, early yesterday morn­ ing. While the occupants of the burning building were struggling with the smoke and flames in hope of forcing their way to safety, the firemen, who were responding to the alarm, were vainly waiting for a freight train, which blocked the way of the fire en­ gines, to move away from the crossing end give an open road to the fire. Marshal Driscoll, in charge of the fire men, called to the conductor and brakeman to move the train, but they refused to comply with his request The police were sent for and the crew was arrested. Then under -orters ol the fire marshal the train was Backed from the crossing, but by the time the firemen reached the burning building the structure had been destroyed. Scattered among the embers were found the charred remains of the vic tlms. The bodies were burned beyond recognition and were identified In va­ rious ways. The train crew, who live at Elkhart Ind., are being held without ball, awaiting the verdict of the coroner’s inquest The origin of the fire is unknown. The building Is an old one, built of wood and burned so rapidly that all avenues of escape by stairways were cut off before the occupants were aware of the fire. Officials of the Lake Shore & Michi-, gan Southern railway, on whose tracks tne train is said to have blocked the firemen, declare that they have evi­ dence that the blocking lasted but a few minutes and that members of the train crew did everything in then power to make way for the fire en gines.' Conductor Brown, who was ar rested, claims one of the firemen un coupled the air brakes without turning the angle cock setting the brakes ana that the engineer was unable to move the train until the pipes were filled again and the brakes released. ' After an investigation by the police officiate the train crew was released on bonds last night. H. THOMAS, Attorney at Law. Jacksonville, Fla., May 6.—The hun­ Practice In State and Federal Courts.

Wedged into the spacious oi»eAing of the stone structure were the remains of a two year old steer, head downward. The animal wandered from the county farm sometime in January aud it is supppted that it ascended io the roof by means of the huge snow drift which nearly covered the ancient structure, during the winter, and while attracted by the-salty flavor still lingering in the chimney’s interior, plunged downward,. After several vain efforts to remove the remains, as the wide fire place has long been hermetically sealed, the chimney was filled to the top with* solution of carbolic acid which seems to have remedied the trouble. The Shafter homestead is a picturesque log cabin standing in a .grove of elms not far from the banks of the beautiful .

Frank Dilbahner of Chicago visited his wife’s parents, Myron Chamberlain and wife last Monday. John Veresclansen of Zeeland, pres­ ident of the Zeeland Brick Co., was here last week on business connected with the yard. The Shultz correspondent for the Hastings Journal stated in his items for that paper last week that owing to the selfishness of the Cloverdale people preaching services at the Shultz church would be in the evening. I would respectfully slate that for some reason services here had been appoint­ ed In the evening for the coming sum­ mer, but quite a number of old people were thereby prevented from cdmfng to church and made reasonable objec­ tions to an evening service, there being no necessity for the same as there are only two appointments on each alter­ nate Sunday. All that our church go­ ing community asks is that we hav,e preaching in the day time. ■ James Runyan of Grand Rapids vis­ ited at M. Chamberlains last week.

Some of our farmers have just fin­ ished sowing oats. There are several cases of scarlet fever near here and our school may have to be closed as several of the pupils have been exposed. C. E.

A son of Jake Velte, Jr., died Satur­ day of scarlet fever and he has two other children very sick of the same disease. C. F. Grozinger went to Battle Creek Tuesday to attend the K. P. Grand Lodge. The Eisenbeis will contest was set for May flth and on that day the pro­ ponents were on hand prepared for a hot contest, but as none of the con-, testauts appeared, the will was allowed by the Juage of Probate on the proof of the two witnesses. We notice that the Woodland corres­ pondent of the Hastings Herald has nearly a column in answer to a few lines we wrote two”weeks ago in regard to the McOmber contest. We are very sorry that we*-haye aroused our broth­ er’s ire. When we suggested that it would have Deen better if he had pub­ lished his article in some of our county papers we supposed it had been pub­ lished in. only one of our adjoining county papers; and did not know that it had been published in the Nashville News, Hastings J-ournal, Hastings Her­ ald, Delton Graphic, Middleville, Sun aud Freeport Herald and several other papers. Had we taken a second thought we would have known that an article of such merit would have been in great demand and we understand that it has been copied in nearly all thepapers in the old country and favorable mention will be made of its author in our encyclopedias hereafter. We should have said it was like an old. fashioned sliot gun, scattered all over. Our brother is also sm^prised because we recognized the pen from which it em­ anated and pays us several very high compliments about our legal knowl­ edge. We did not recognjze its author on account of the amount of law con­ tained in the article but on account of the vast amount of law not in the article. Our brother’s article reminds us of the attorney who was called upon to defend a man who was sued for the price of a kettle he had borrowed and broken. He arose and stated his case thus: “I propose to prove, in the first place, that my client did not borrow Mr. A*s kettle; second, that it was broken when he borrowed it; third, it was al] right when he car­ ried it home. We hope that these few words of apology will satitfy our brother. We are now satisfied that the article was published in all of the Barry county papers and in several ad­ joining county papers and that it has been copied very extensively. We would like to paste the article’ in our scrap-book but suspect that it is copy­ righted ere this. JHULTX. DIMITIES, JAConets PERCALES. ’ FINE MADRAS, BATISTES, LAWNS SWISS MULL. ’ BILK MULL.

LETTER IRON MANILA THE GOVERNOR GENERAL’S BALL DESCRIBED. Visit to a?Splendid Filipino Home and Other Interesting Experiences of Miss Smith. HA5TINO5, MICHIGAN, we went over and found the LaCalle party, Mr. Russell, Julian, Carmen and Marie, and we were with them much of the evening. The time seemed very short, as it was nearly eleven when we went, and the invitations were only for half past one. The following extract is from a Man ila paper: “The palace of the Governor General at Malacanan was a blaze of glorv last night, and witnessed the most brilliant function since the United States as­ sumed sovereignity over the Islands. More than three thousand guests at­ tended the reception and ball given by Governor General McArthur. The magnificent building, the hand some grounds and al) the approaches brilliantly illuminated, white the floral'decorations in the palace were probably never equalled. Two thous­ and electric lights Shed their radiance on the surroundings and rendered the grounds bright as day. The guests were by no means con­ fined to military and naval officers alone, but comprised every nationality represented in Manila’s cosmopolitan population. The consuls of England, France, Austria, Germany, Spain, Italy. Russia and other countries were present, as were the leading citizens of these coun­ tries resident in Manila.- The bench, the bar. and all the learned professions were well represented. The army and navy were naturally much in evidence, and gave brilliant effect and color to the concourse. General Wheaton and staff, General Bates and staff. General Bell, General Davis and staff, and all the officers of the division and depart­ ment headquarters were present, and so were hundreds of the junior officers with their wives, sisters and sweet­ hearts.

Max 13.—Local Steamboat Inapectors Gooding and York of Marquette have begun an Inveatlgatlon of the loan of the ateamer Bon Voyage by fire oh Lake Superior near the Portaxe Lake canal, Friday night. CapL Foley of the Bon Voyage denies the rumor that the steamer was on fire once or twice during the last voyage. He says the pipes grew hot, but there was no fire. The fire started when the boat was two Salles from land, and seven or eight from the canal. The boat was dry, and the fire gained such headway that 10 minutes after the first alarm the bell cord <as burned off. Capt. Foley explains the loss of the passengers and the escape of the crew by saying that the lost ones were aft while the crew went forward, so that when the fire spread the seamen could do nothing toward helping them.

WHAT MODERN SJULOR^FEAR “Boiler explosions are the terror of the seafaring man,” said ap old time deep water c&ptain. “Such a thing .Is bad enough on dry land, b(if imagine a ata stropbe of that kind at sea. In nety-nlne cases out of a hundred It means the absolute wiping out of the craft itself and every soul on board. ■_ “The average landsman would be greatly shocked in looking over the maritime records to see how many ves­ sels disappear each year and leave absolutely no clew to their fate. They run well up to the hundred mark, and such a mystery is not to be explained away by storms. A Chinese typhoon may swoop down like lightning out of a clear sky and tear a ship to pieces, but some floating wreckage is sure to tell the tale. A boiler explosion, on the contrary, will blow a hole as big as a railroad tunnel right through the center of the hull, and the stricken vessel simply goes down like a shot There is no time to unfasten a boat from the davits or cut loose a spar. , “In the opinion of seamen, that Is the story of at least 90 per cent of the ships that leave port and are never heard of again. Luckily the modern system of marine boiler inspection is extremely strict and thorough, but It is Impossible to absolutely prevent carelessness and fraud, and often, enough, no doubt, the fault lies with the engineer.

That yarn will hardly hold water, but I’ve seen cases almost as bad. I am glad to say, however, that during the past 10 years there baKbeen a steady diminution of the number of vessels which *mysteriously disappear.’ That Is due, be­ yond all question, to the Increased stringency of boiler inspection and the greater strictness of examinations be­ fore a license is issued to engineer*.

Hastings City Bank, THE BLUE <3fUS$c.S. There are several diffeient species <?f grasses offered by seedsmen under the general name of bl* glass. The fol­ lowing notes may prevent confusion: Kentucky Blue Grass (Poa Prateniis). —•This is the common blue grass of Kansas. It is widely used as a lawn grass and in tbe eastern counties not infrequently forms, a part of perma­ nent pastures, it Is a perennial, spread­ ing by underground stems and form­ ing a compact sod. The flowering stems are a foot or two high or even taller tn moist situations and bear at the top a spreading pyramidal flower cluster. For lawns It is recommended to sow three bushels of seed per acre and roll in rather than cover the seed. This grass Is called June grass in the northern states, green grass in Penn­ sylvania and smooth stalked meadow grass in England. It is a native of the northern, regions in both hemispheres, but is not a native of Kansas. Canadian Blue Grass (Poa Com­ press*).—This resembles, the preceding, but Is much less valuable. It differs in having a blue green color, strongly flat­ tened or two edged stems and a small, narrow flower cluster. Under similar conditions the growth Is not so tall. Like common blue grass. It spreads by creeping steins and forms a strong sod. It will grow on thinner, poorer soil than the preceding. It 'is what goes under the name of “blue grass” In the New England and middle states. Al­ though of considerable value in the east, especially on poor soil. It seems not worthy of recommendation for Kansas. It Is offered for sale In some catalogues under the name of English blue grass, but is not to be confused with the grass grown in Kansas by that name. ... Texas Blue Grass (Poa Arachnlfera). —A perennial, spreading by, creeping underground stems, forming a strong growth one to three feet high. It is a native of Texas, bqt Is cultivated through the south quite extensively. It Is highly recommended for perma­ nent pasture, especially during the win­ ter months. It may do well In some parts of southern Kansas, but has not been sufficiently tested. Tbe flower cluster at the top of the stem is dense and narrow, not spreading, like Ken­ tucky blue grass. Meadow Fescue (Festuca Pratensls dr Festuca Elatior).—This grass is not a blue grass, but Is mentioned here be­ cause it is commonly known In Kansas by the name of English blue grass. Most seed catalogues sell it under the najne of meadow fescue, and this is the name which properly applies. It is a native of Europe and now extensively grown in the United States for meadow and for pasture. It is a valuable grass for eastern Kansas for both hay and pasture. It Is recommended to sow it with orchard grass—meadow fescue, 15 pounds; orchard grass, 20 pounds per acre. When conditions are favorable, add two or three pounds of red clover. The field of orchard grass and meadow fescue on the college farm has given very satisfactory results. Meadow fes­ cue Is also known under tbe name of Randall grass and evergreen grass.— A. S. Hitchcock, Kansas Station. In southern states, where Irrigation is necessary, trees are affected by a disease which attacks the roots. Nurs­ ery stock grown in Oregon is not trou­ bled In that respect, but,*bas perfect roots, with more and finer fibers than the trees grown In Irrigated land. Trees produced east of the mountains do not make so good a growth as those grown in Oregon, and a 2-year-old Oregon fruit tree makes a far better appear­ ance than a 3 or 4 year old tree grown In the east. The stringent horticul­ tural laws of thia state also make It a good section for the production of fruit trees.—Oregonian. Three handy, practical devices of widely differing application are shown In the cut from Ohio Earmer. A is an appliance for com shelling on a small scale.

Thousands of Machinists Answrr ECZEMA'S ITOH IS TORTURE. Eczema is caused by an acid humor in the blood coming in contact with the skin and producing great redness and in­ flammation ; little pustular eruptions form and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which dries and scales oft; sometimes the skin is hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any form is a tormenting, stubborn disease, and the itching and burning at times are almost unbearable; the acid burning humor seems to ooze out and set the skin on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter­ nal applications do any real good, for as long ns the poison remains in the blood it will keep the skin irritated.

Union Expect Th.t In Many Caen a Settlement Will Be Reached During the Day and Work Resumed. • Washington, May 2O.-^The strike orter Issued by the executive board.of the International Order of Machinists went into effect at 7 o'clock this morn­ ing. President O'Connell said last night that apout 50,000 men will be af­ fected. The order instructs the men to refuse to go to work in all shops where notices granting the nine hours workday have not been posted at 7 o'clock. . . The officers of the. association exjiect that in many cases a settlement will be reached during the day and that the men will return to work dur­ ing the day or Tuesday morning. Word came yesterday that all the Anns In St. Louis and also all those in New Orleans had acceded to the demands of the men. Scattered reports from other cities favorable to the men also .were received. The estimate now is that 35 per cent of the employing firms have signed. At least 25.000 union ma chinists were working nine hours or lees when the question, was taken up by the association. President O’Connell received Satur­ day a check for >1,000, from the ma chinists in the Washington navy yard to ale. the men who strike. These ma chinists are not concerned directly in the differences with employers which underlie the strike, but in a letter to Mr. O’Connell they stated their inter­ est in the triumph of their fellow workmen and promised him that sub­ stantial financial contributions could be expected from them every week to­ wards the support of those who will be out of work. Detroit, May 20.—“Five hundred of the 650 machinists in Detroit will be out ot work as a result of the strike that begins Monday morning," said William H. Gore, business agent for Detroit Lodge No. 82. 01 tne Interna­ tional Association ot Machinists, last 'evening. "Two hundred and fifty of the 500 will be back at work on the terms tor which we are fighting within two days, and 1 look for the end of the troqble in two weeks. Denver. May 20.—The threatened strike of the manufacturing machin­ ists of Denver has been averted, the local members of the National Metal Trades association having granted the nine-hour day and the scale of wages demanded by the machinists' union. TWO MEN ARE DEAD Connections 3AL ____________ 4r3L And Two More Are Expected -to Die From Injuries. Youngstown, O., May 20.—Two men are dead and three are expected to die as a result of an accident in^lhe Bes­ semer department of the National Steel company's plant yesterday. The accident was caused by the cover of a mammoth converter letting go and al­ lowing 13 tons of molten metal to flow over the mill. 'The dead are two unknown Hungari­ ans. The injured: Thomas Max will, burned about the body and head, will die; John Sole, burned about the up­ per parts of the body and head, will die; unknown Hungarian, burned about the body, will die; Michael MeLeer, badly burned about the face; Thomas Creed, slightly burned about the neck and face. The body of one of the Hungarians who was killed was literally burned to a cinder, while that of the other was nearly as bad.

ALBAHimra Over the Happy Ending ot Street Car Strike UNION MEN RUNNING THE CARS Th, Funeral, at tfie^Two Victim, ot the Soldiers’ Bullets Took Place Sunday Afternoon and There Was Quite an Ovation. *\ Albany, N, Y., May 2.0.—The great street railroad strike, lasting 12 days, requiring the presence of 3,000 mem­ bers of the national guard *h the city, costing the lives of two prominent merchants and entailing an expense to the county of Albany of over >39.000. is amicably settled, and if the agreements are kept there will be no trouble for three years at least. The ominous calm which succeeded the killing of two inoffensive citizens two days ago by national, guardsmen defending property was succeeded Saturday evening by hysterical enthu­ siasm when public bell towers and city newspapers proclidmed that the 12-day strike on the street railways ol flve'clties had been settled. Flags flying from public and private buildings, horses and wagons decor ated with bunting and the national emblem, citizens carrying small flags in their hands and enthusiastic youths' and otherwise dignified citizens chas­ ing after the cars, marked some of the earlier scenes of the afternoon. The repair wagon left the traction company’s barn with its old union crew aboard and going along Pear) street received an ovation. It was decorated with flags and escorted by a joyful crowd very different from the angry xriob that had followed the cars the last few days. Saturday night several of the lines were running in this city and all of them in the other cities, and by. noon Sunday all the lines were running on schedule time with union men. The first information of the settle­ ment of the strike came early Satur­ day morning from Troy, where it wak announced that tne Troy division of the Railway Employes' union had de­ cided to sign lhe agreement presented at Friday night's conference. Follow­ ing this notification the other divisions met in Albany and after they had signed the traction company offi<-«r8 signed it and at at 11 o’clock Saturday morning it became binding. The withdrawal of the guards was as expeditious as was their bringing here. The Second regiment was ready to go to Troy by 4 o'clock nnd at 7 o'clock the Ninth of Neyr York had also left the-city. The Tenth battalion was ordered to disperse about 7 o'clock, as was also the*Third signal corps, and the only armed force here yesterday was the Twenty-third of Brooklyn. The non­ union men will be sent' back to the cities from whence tney came. The funerals of the two victims of the soldiers’ bullets took place Sun­ day afternoon, and there was quite a demonstration. The starting out of the first car of the Inter-City line shortly after noon yesterday was the cause of a demon­ stration. Pistols were fired, flags waved, torpedoes were placed on the track and exploded, the motormen and conductors wore flags on their coats, and fully 200 men and women fought for the privilege of the first ride. When the conductor got the car started and rang up the fares he found that he had 73 passengers, where usu­ ally 50 is* a crowd. Within an hour so many cars were running that the mo­ notony deterred people from riding for ndvelty's sake. Cool Reasoning Saved Lives.

Hugh McGovern of 651 Park avenue coolly reasoned with the intruders and furnished them with the information which resulted in his being robbed of diamonds, jewelry and other valuables estimated to be worth at least >700. McGovern and his wife were then Imprisoned In a small clothes closet and would prob­ ably have suffocated had not the hus­ band forced the door In defiance of the orders of the burglars and at the im­ minent risk of being shot To his presence of mind alone McGovern at­ tributes the fact tnat he and his wife were not murdered in their bed.

AWFUL RESULT OP A COLLISION Milwaukee, May 27.—The wreck of a three-masted schooner, Its decks flush with the water and apparently deserted, was sighted by Capt Mc­ Leod of the steamer Boston. The wreck was about 10 miles off shore tnd between Sheboygan and Milwau­ kee. The Boston passed within five miles of the wreck and the strong glasses of the officers failed to show the slightest sign of life on the decks or in the rigging of the boat. The Boston passed through quanti­ ties of slabs, which extend for 20 miles In th® lake. The slabs were 10 to 15 miles from shore, southeast ot She­ boygan. Many marine men here be­ lieve that the waterlogged schooner Is the C. H. Hackley of Milwaukee, and that her crew of captain and six men have been lost. The Hackley was bound for bheboygan with a load of slabs, and was due in that port just before the gale began Friday. ofth.

Then the conductor touched her on the shoul­ der and in a tone of voice that rang through the car exclaimed: “Your fare, please, lady!"

The train had two engines. The first engine and the cars had run out on the trestle and dropped over. The reag engine was left standing half sidewise on the trestle, which was 30 feet high. It seemed as if the touch of a man’s hand would cause It to topple over, and It blocked the road, which was only single tracked, and the wrecking car with its derrick could not- be used. 'If we only had something soft to drop It on and then hoist It back.’ said one official, ’we could manage all right.’ “This remark gave a fanner of the neighborhood an idea. He offered to sell his big stock of corn fodder. The plan was to ___ , , pile the fodder, from the fround underneath the trestle to withln a few fw>t of the track and then topple the engine over.

HISTORIC PLACES ONE OF THE OLDEST CHURCHES IN AMERICA. ’ , Jamestown and Some of the Events that Made the Place Famous- Courting in Public. n When Capt. John Smith came sailing towards Jamestown in 1607 he found a safe refuge from the stormtoss-.d seas near where Fortress Mon hh‘ is- now located, and in recognition3 of it he called the place Point Comfort. Later on when another place was named Point Comfort, the original place was named Old Point Comfort, which name still clings to the town to this day, and will probably always reiiiftin. Fortress Monroe- is located at old Point Comfort, which is always designated “Old Point” when referred to by those living in that vicinity, or in any of the surrounding country. The • government owns all the land at Old Point, which has achieved no little reputation as a. seaside resort, two mammoth hotels, the “Hygeia” and the Chamberlain” catering to the wants of 411 who visit the place. Both hotels are built on government land, but with the understanding and agreement that they are to be pulled down and moved away at any tjme the government so decides. The first hotel, built upon the site now • iccqpied by the Hygeia was torn down by order of the government as it stood in range of the guns of the fort. 1' >rtress Monroe was begun in 1817 and i- one of the most extensive of our mil tary fortifications, and is perhaps the i.-.-st example of old time defensive ivork-i. It ethers 80 acres of hind, and r!<» walls are built of heavy cut stone, purro’.nded*by a moat, with casemated i fend bar bette guns, and at present has a treat water battery of heavy defense guns. The fort faces the water, and the remaining portions of it are sur­ rounded by a -wet ditch” probably 100 her or more in width, the water in v-hich is eight feet deep. The parade s surrounded by houses and taken aliogefher forms a ‘ very pretty military village. Here is also the national artiliery school, where practice is had in . . ..

AH other schools of this character hare been the outgrowth of the Hampton Institute, which must have a great in­ fluence in lifting up a race which has been bound down by centuries -of sla­ very. Young ladies, both colored and Indian, are taught in trades but adapt­ ed to their sex, and after graduation usually go back to their people as instructors. Surely If these people can’t be built up by this means it would seem that the solution of the negro problem might well be given up as s hopeless and impossible task. The improvement must of necessity iM slow, but as long as there Is improve­ ment, there is hope and encouragement. At Hampton there is also a National Cemetery and a National Soldier,’ Home, where many veterans of the late war are cared for. While the cemetery is not as imposing as Arlington, yet it is neat, well kept and well cared" for.

There was a celebration of the Feast of St Patrick. They cele­ brated a High Mass at nine o’clock, and “His Excellency Most Rev. P. L. Chapelle, Apostolic Delegate," assisted on the throne. They had a full orches­ tra, and a chorus of men’s and boy’s voices. They sang Gounod’s “Sanctus” and “O Salutaras.” | Then Rev. Father Miguel Fonturbel gave a short sermon in Spanish, and Archbishop Chapelle gave another in commemoration of St. Patrick, from the text Gal. 4-31, “So then we are not children of the bond­ woman, but of the free.” The music was simply grand. In all the great churches the music is in a loft at the back of the church. We had good seats up in- front. There were many Americans there. The church had hundreds of candles, and inside the rail it was simply gorgeous, as it is in all* the churches here. There was a cloth to represent ermine all around the back going clear up. Then over the chancel at the top was purple vel­ vet gathered Into an immense purple and gold crown. I am afraid I cannot convey any idea of it, but it was won­ derfully beautiful. The priests who officiated were gorgeous in satin and gold embroidered vestments. The archbishop is a very large man, corpu­ lent, not very toll, has a smooth face and massive features. He was dressed in a long trained purple skirt lined with crimson satin, the train about three and one half feet long. This skirt which was buttoned down the front came to the ground in length, bull noticed when be was going to his car­ riage that he had on red hose and low silver buckled shoes. Over this skirt was a loose “dressing jacket" (?) cut with a mother hubbard yoke. This was of lace and extended about a foot below the waist, having red caffs on the sleeves. Over this was a crimson satin cape, thou a big gold chain with a Jewwhile hat, and carried t big gohi staff. I would really rather they had not been published, but presume I should not feel that way. as I can see that those who have an Interest in me would be interested in the letters. I really think, though, had I tried, I might have writ­ ten some newspaper letters that might have been'readable at least. ' It seems to me there has been an un­ usual amount of sickness at home this winter. Manila is .very healthy com­ pared with our country in the winter. We are very much in need of rain yet, and it is not very pleasant out of doors because it is so dusty. I had a drive out in the country two or three miles UUD other umri afternoon. imcniwu. iwauuiu; the It io is beautiful out there, but there is a great difference of opinion as to. how safe it is. It is strange to look over the country and think there may be a band of natives with bolos right near you, or some.one who would sneak up and kill and rob you. It is queer too how quickly we adapt ourselves to circumstances, and how natural the most unnatural things become. There are soldiers in any di­ rection you may go, and I suppose there is not a bit of danger, but some people think there is and they won’t even go up the river without a guard, which seems nonsense. The surrender of Trias is the biggest thing in that line yet Gen. Bates was talking with us on the Luneta the other night, and he said Trias was a man of great wealth and Influence, and be has pledged himself to do all he can to bring other insurgent leaden to sur­ render.

KETCHAtf, THE BALL GAME. 4 _________ Com, of Schools, t The events of the day closed with a ADDITIONAL LOCAL ball game between Hastings and Mid­ dleville. Though devoid of sensational Irving L. Cressey, is assisting Frank plays, the game was yet a good one. Heath in his drug store at Middleville, Middleville won the game and with it at present i . the championship of the county, each Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

There wu scarcely a flaw in the way the whole program was carried out and the beet of good feeling prevailed from •tart to finish. The general reault can not help but be most satisfactory all around, as all the contesting schools secured a fair share of ths honors and all visitors were warmly welcomed and courteously treated while to the city.

After paying all expenses there will remain in the treasury about 8100 and this will be used to provide very handsomely for the next annual field day. Hastings has demonstrated her abili­ ty to make the annual field day between the schools of the county an unquali­ fied succeea.

Am glad of the short tetter from father that my tetters had reached there and I know after that there was a long space and I’m glad that’s over new. Just think of us,-we don’t expect an­ other boat for three weeks anyway, but it’s one of the things you have to get used to. I had a long discussion with uncle last night as to whether it was harder for you to wait for mail than for -us. I said it was harder for us, because we had nothing aud heard nothing, even in papers as you did, and there was so little of interest here; but he said there is mail coming in every day, and it is harder because the letters coming in every day keeps you in the letter habit, whereas we get used to it I said I didn’t get used to it. . We are still hoping that the Ban­ ners may show up, but even if they are sent from January 1st I won’t see the first tetters, I’m afraid. We are anxious to see how they look in print, as long as they were not written with that thought at all. I write so much that I am afraid when I get home there will be nothing left to tell. I must tell you before I close about the pretty little Filipino girl where I bought my Jousie dress. I could write a whole letter about the little shops in San Fernando. I gave her a piece of my pina waist and asked her if she bad some like it. She looked at it, and then looked up with an engaging smile, and said, “Yes, I have some—was,” Can you think what she meant? She meant she had had some. She had some was. You see it’s very plain. She pronounced ‘was’ like ‘wash,’ so I was under the impression for some time that she had some that would wash. You see we have not only the Spanish,English and the Chinese Pidgin English, but also the Filipino English to learn. Friday we celebrated Aunt Stelle’s birthday with a little dinner. We had a very good time, but I couldn’t see as I bad had my pupils dilated. Sunday morning, March 27, we went down to the Soldier’s Institute, conducted by the Methodists. A Mr. Dean, a young man who has had charge of the Y. M. C. A. work here, preached. I believe his home is in Kalamazoo. He looked and reminded us very much qf Dr Puffer, so we enjoyed the service very much. He sailed for home Monday on a horse boat, the “Oopack.” The fol­ lowing I clipped from “The New American:” John M. Dean, who has won the love and esteem of a large number of sol­ diers by his labors in their behalf in these islands, sailed for the States on the Oopack yesterday. Mr. Dean came to the Philippines with the 41st Infantry in *W. Soon after his arrival he went to Iloilo where he established and kept open that great boon to the American soldier in a strange land, a first class reading room. He had come primarily to preach the gospel to the soldiers, but being a man of education, culture arid refined tastes, he realized the "great in­ fluence, the inestimable benefits, of a good reading room. He had com6 to help the men, and in order to reach them he traveled quite extensively in the islands of Panay and Negros. White making these journeys, often with small escorts, he had many inter­ esting experiences. On one occasion, in company with a Sergeant and three men of the 2fith infantry he was am­ bushed near Seon, and captured, by itosurrectos. One of the men, who tried to escape, was captured, boloed and finally burned. All the others were wounded except Mr. Dean. The little party had shown fight, and even Rev. Dean was taken with rifle in hand, and for no idle pur­ pose either, yet through his influence the party was released, to no one’s sur­ prise more than his owm The spirit of the man is shown by his own account of the event He thought his end had come and if he had been put on the stand he would have pleaded guilty. But the native’s fear of violating a padre overcame their savagery and they readily agreed to give him his freedom. But he reeoJutely refused to accept their clemency unices the same favors were extended to his companions'. There is'no doubt but his resolution, firmness and love for the common soldier saved the lives of his compan-, ions. During December and January, 1901, he made a trip north of Manila visiting and holding evangelistic meet­ ings at the principle places held by the Americans. He informed me that ou this ttip he traveled 100 mites by rail, 290 miles horseback, and 500 mites by water. Mr. Dean is a man of strong char­ acter, he is a forceful speaker, a man of deep thought, and his friends in tbe Philippines wish him a joyous voyage home, and many years of service In which he may use his power for good over the lives of men. Monday was Phil’s birthday. That morning I was down at the hospital to •ee tbe ooculist, and then took.the pre scription down town. They told me they would have to mad this to Japan, and I could probably get them back in five weeks.

CATARRH Catarrh has become such a common disease that a person entirely free from this disgusting complaint ia seldom met •with. It is customary to speak of Catarrh rs nothing more serious than a bad cold. a simple inflammation of the nose and throat. It is, in fact, a complicated and very dangerous disease; if not at first, it very soon becomes so. The blood is quickly contaminated by the foul secretions, and the poison through the general Circulation is carried to all pares of the system? Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis­ factory and disappointing, because they do not reach the seat of the trouble. S. S. S. does. It cleanses the blood of the poison and eliminates from the system all catar­ rhal secretions, and thus cures thoroughly aud permanently the worst cases. Mr. T. A.

COR.R.EJPONDCNCE. AN SEED GROWING. The United States raises practically all Its benn and most of Its cabbage seed, the best being grown on Long Island, while the cheaper trade Is sup­ plied from abroad or from sections of this country where the seed can be grown cheaply. Carrot seed la largely grown, some of ft in California, but the best Is imported or grown in New England. The latter costs the most. Ibough many dealers claim there la uo difference in quality, but one authority " KTHKR.SFIELD ONIONS IN CALIFORNIA, thinks otherwise. He says; “Testa frequently made show conclusively that a larger yield of carrots can be obtained from Rhode island and Con­ necticut grown seed than from the best imported.” An investigator of tbe seed growing Industry reports that all corn, celery, lettuce, onion, melon, to­ mato, pepper, squash, and pumpkin seeds us^| in the United States are home grown. All the cucumber seed except that of the French varieties Is produced here, as Is nearly all the egg­ plant aud kale and a great deal of the beet seed. Sugar beet seed is grown to a limited extent. The best Brussels sprouts seed is grown here, most of the okra and a great deal of the pars­ ley, mustard and spinach. Radish is grown to some extent, especially about Philadelphia; but many dealers do not consider American seed, at least of the small early sorts, equal to the best im­ ported. Many other kinds are raised lu a small way. but growers cannot com­ pete with the cheaper Imported seed. There Is unfortunately a great de­ mand for cheap seeds, .and low grades of many sorts can be imported more profitably than they can be produced by the American grower. Garden seeds are grown I utmost of the northern and western stat A and a few In tho south. Many kinds are largely produced In certain favorable sections, as beans In New York state, cabbage on -Lqng Is­ land. peas tn Canada. Michigan and Wisconsin; vine seeds in Nebraska and Obion, lettuce and sweet peas In Cali­ fornia. The value of a locality for seed grow­ ing depends upon favorable soil nnd cli­ matic conditions and upon the supply of cheap lalx>r at harvest time. Lack of labor often prevents the profitable culture of seed In places where condi­ tions of soil and climate are-favorable. in general It is ihe practice, of the seed trade to grow plants for seedqmrposes where the product attains the * Fr-e (?uir Cars at Bight.

Just ip the rear of the Ellwood Seamless tube works, almost in the heart of the town, he met three strangers in a .rig. They accosted him and he entered into conversation with them. Suddenly one of the trio, a large man, wearing, black goggles, stepped into Burns’s "buggy and seised him by the throat One of the others seised the Mtchel containing 4he cash Intended for the quarrymen and jumped into his own rig. The man with the goggles fol­ lowed and the three lashed their horse to a run and disappeared before Burns could recover from the attack. A posse was hastily organised and same upon the highwaymen aboijt two miles from the scene ;of the robbery. A heavy exchange of shots took place between pursuers and pursued. One of the robbers *was crippled by a shot and was an easy victim, while the leader, the man with the goggles, was captured after his ammunition was ex­ hausted. Over |400 was found on the second robber’s person, hut the third man escaped and is yet at large with >1,700 of tne stolen money. The pris­ oners are strangers here and abso­ lutely refuse to talk.

After passing Jamestown the steamt f passes a large number of famous old estates, some of which I will name. We first pass Claremont, which was the Rome of C®1. Wm. Allen, and is espec­ ially interesting as being an exact du­ plicate of the building at Claremont, ij gkiud. where Queen Victoria was burii. Jt is built of English glazed brick and was long regarded as the t;uest estate in Virginia. Brandon, the estate of the original Harrison family, is still owned by de­ } . -admits. Ex-President Harrison was a lineal descendant of the marriage of ( apt. Rolf to Pocahontas, daughter of Chief Powhatan, and noted in history as saving the life of Capt. John Smith. The-house is a fine example of colonial ;m< intrclure, and it is said that the in­ - r contains many paintings by fa­ mous artists. r Through the trees we saw Weyauoke, ■ inch occupies a very prominent place n the novel “To Havq and To Hold,” and was the scene of a?n Indian massaeit- in 1621 in the early days of the set­ tlement around Jamestown. Westover' is one of the famous old estates along the James river, the plan­ tation being laid out by Sir John Paulel.. <\>L Wm. Byrd, the founder of hichniond, built the beautiful old col­ - unial house in 1737. Benedict Arnold . -tried.from this place at the head of a British force to capture Richmond, and liming the Civ.il war it was used as federal headquarters. Berkeley, better known.in the north “Harrispn’n landingW is not far from \\ estover. Berkeley was the birthplace f Ex-President “Tippecanoe” flarrin and it was near here that prisoners wero exchanged during the Civil war. Near here is also the home of Ex-Pres­ ident Tyler, both boys being practically hrought up In the same neighborhood. At City Point, the Appomattox river • enters the Janies, and upon the south riiore is a beautiful house that was long used by Gen. Grant as headquarters during the rebellion.''' Shirley, the beautiful old colonial homestead of the Carter family, was built in 1642, and is still occupied by descendants of the family. Here the mother of Gen. Robt. E. Lee was born. In going to Qurie’b Neck we are shown Malvern Hill,? where a hard battle was fought during the war, and also pass the home of pen. Pickett, who led the famous charge at*. Gettysburg, t urle’s Neck was once oWned by the Randolph family. This beautiful es­ tate. located in 1670, is now owned by a wealthy resident of New York, who has evidently spared no expense in im­ proving and adding to the old house, which strangely retains its colonial ap­ pearance, despite the large additions. A short distance beyond and we pass What is known as “Deep Bottom” where a government transport was de­ stroyed by a confederate torpedo, fired from the low, bushy south bank during the Civil war and it is said that forty brave souls went to the bottom. Varina is noted as the home of Poca­ hontas, also as a place where prisoners were exchanged. • The steamer also passes Fort Powha­ tan, named after the father of Poca­ hontas. All that remains of the fort is a little stonework down 'close to the river. One lone house stands on the site now and from the peaceful quiet­ ness of the place one would never think that at one time it bristled with .guns. During the war of 1812 it was a place of no little consequence, and waa gar­ risoned by the confederates during the late war, whose guns were a great an­ noyance to the federal gunboats pass­ ing up the river. Wilcox Landing has no special his­ torical record, but is noted as a place where sturgeon and shad are caught. From this place two immense sturgeon were taken aboard theB bo boat Sturgeon ■bo<krdth “- 3 ‘urg?^ roe is sent tot> NffW .. “ York and‘ exported ‘ to Russia, where R Windmill Pofaxt, nA. cox Landing, wv |he^f6S'of the civil war, as perhaps some of the readers of the Banner may be able to testify. Here and at Fort Powhatan two pontoon bridges were laid across the river and in two days 130,000 feder­ al troops crossed the river on the way to invest Petersburg. On the boat were several soldiers of 614®, with their wives and families, who were on their way to Petersburg to attend the cere­ monies of the dedication of a monu­ ment on that famous field. In the Museum at Richmond we saw an old musket that was evidently over the HA5TINOJ, MICHIGAN, JUNE 13, 1901 mine at Petersburg when it was fired. The barrel of the gun is twisted almost in corkscrew shape, attesting the terri­ ble force of the explosion. The “mine” was dug by some Pennsylvania troops and was fired to destroy a confederate fort. Bermuda Hundred became famous during the Civil war as the base of Ben Butler’s operations. About, all that remains to tell of that time are numer­ ous decaying logs where once were lo­ cated the government docks. “Dutch Gap Canal stands as a monu­ ment to the keen sightedness of Ben Butler. At this point he was located, being “bottled up” by the confederates, some heavy confederate batteries being located on a bluff two or three miles below him. The river winds in great loops on nearing Richmond and Gen. Butler perceived that by cutting a canal about 500 or 600 feet long he could save over seven miles and escape the heavy batteries below him. His men worked nights and made a big start towards the work but never finished it In 1871-72 the government went to work and- finished the canal by deepening the channel. The island that was formed in the river by thia “cut off” was the scene of one of the earliest settlements m this country, a detach­ ment of 350 ctoming up the river from Exterior view of Fortress Monroe. Jamestown and locating here in 1611, calling the place Henrico. In 1619 it was chosen as the site of the Colonial College, but two years later occurred the Indian massacre from which the little settlement never recovered. Con­ cerning the settlement at Henrico, Ralph Hanor, secretary of.the colony, wrote as follows: “There* are in this town three streets of well framed houses, a hansom church, and a founda­ tion of a more stately one laid of brick, in length a hundred foote, and fifty foote wide, besides storehouses, watch­ houses and such like,? Nothing re­ mains of the place to tell of its fonper importance. . The steamer^Iso passes Drewry’s Bluff which was a very important strat­ egical point held by the confederates during the Civil war, earthworks being yet visible through the thick foliage oii the hillside. We arrived at Richmond about 5:00 p. m. after an eight hour ride, both de­ lightful and interesting. At, Rich­ mond the James river spreads o at-and falls over a series of rocky ledges that make navigation above 14th street im­ possible., Above the city we under­ stand the river is navigable for many miles for lighter craft. The water power at Richmond will be immense when it is developed, but at present it is comparatively untouched. Near the .wharf where we landed was the Hol­ land submarine boat which was laid iip for_repairs. Next week we will write something about Richmond, with half tone cuts of many of the most prominent places. W. R. Cook. Benedict. N. E. Benedict, for thirty-seven years a respected resident of Rutland, died at his residence In that township on Mon­ day /hyening, last, of disease of the heart, aged 67 years. He was born in Newfield, Tompkins county, N. YM June 5, 1834, coming to Michigan, and settling on the farm where he died, thirty-seven years ago. Mr. Benedict was a man whose native kindness of heart, integrityyand industry had en­ deared him to a very wide circle of friends and acquaintances and to these his sudden death brought a sense of personal loss. He is survived by his wife, mother 88 years of age, and five children, viz.: Chester, John.

B,_ sure-Proper Teaiperatnre. The making of hotbeds ia a matter bo commonly understood as perhaps scarcely to require going into at this time, yet the following from Vick, dealing aa it does principally with the proper heating of the beds, may not come amiss to those interested In start­ ing cabbage, celery, lettuce, etc., in February or early spring: The ordinary hotbed consists of a pile of fermenting stable manure, covered with a frame and glazed sashes. In PLAN FOR HOTBED. which is a layer of fertile soil. The bed should be located where it will be W of access, but it should be on dry ground and not where water could flow over the ground and about its base, even in wet weather. It should also be sheltered from heavy winds, and with a full exposure to the sum In prepara­ tion for a bi^d the fresh manure and long litter arc collected from stables and drawn together to the location of the bed, where It Is placed In a conical pile. As the manure la thus thrown to­ gether It is packed down by treading on it. the treading being repeated as the bed is raised a few inches at a time, until the pile Is finished off to a point at the top. After a few days It may be noticed that the pile Is heating by seeing steam rise from It It is then customary to handle over the manure, shaking It out and again making it Into a pile and tramping it down as before. In two or three days the signs of heating will again be evident, and it Is then ready to be made Into a bed. The bed should be'made large enough to extend at least a foot outside of the frame at sides and ends. In throwing the ma­ nure into shape as the pile rises in height every few inches It should ’be -beaten doWn with tbe back of the fork so that tbe material wjll be of uniform density. The bed should be twtr^eet or two and a half feet In depth. The deeper It is the steadier and longer con­ tinued will be the beat. When tbe bed Is finished evenly on top. the frame can be sec on and cov­ ered with tbe sashes. In a few days a strong beat will rise, and when this abates somewhat, so that the thermom­ eter thrust into tbe manure Indicates only 85 degrees or 90 degrees, a layer of rich, mellow soil that lias been pre­ viously prepared should be placed In the frame and spread evenly over tt»e bed to a depth of about six Inches. Tbe bed Is now ready for use. and seed sowing in it can commence. In the management of a hotbed constant ref­ erence must be made to a shaded ther­ mometer kept Inside, and air must be given sufficiently to keep the tempera­ ture down to about 70 degrees.

My plan is io have only a small part of the crop mature at one time. When making the seed bed.for grow­ ing the plants in open ground, I give It a good dressing of poultry manure or commercial fertilizer, also lime or ash­ es, to prevent club foot from attacking tbe plants.

Water the bed frequently If the weath­ er is dry. and in about one month the plants will be ready for transplanting.

EDITORIAL NOTE! According to Treasurer Gage the cash in the -United States Treasury has dwindled to a paltry billion. We never beard of European coun­ tries complaining of American com­ petition and American goods supplant­ ing European wares under a demo­ cratic administration. Did you? If business conditions had been un(Bound the recent flurry in Wall street Would have brought the country to the 'verge of panic. As it was it passed Bway and no one was hurt but a few speculators. One of the surprising features of the South Carolina mix-up, in which Sen­ ators Tillman an McLauren are the chief actors, is that up to this writing the physicians have not been called up on to issue any bulletins and tbe cor oners have had no work at all. During the next few years the south­ west will enjoy a boom, after the In­ dian reservations are opened to set­ tlers, which will be in August. Cap­ ital is already finding its way to the new country, which has great promise for the future. While it is all right to reach out af­ ter new markets for the products of American toil and skill, the value of the home^market should never be lost night of. Here we have 76,000,000 of the most enlightened people on earth Rud they are the greatest consumers. At the first of1 next month the re­ duction of war taxes will take place, amounting to 840,000,000 per year. As tbe government i nep me during the past eleven months has exceeded the ■expenditures by 858^88,695 it will be ween that the country is in good shape to meet the reduction. Already there have been agitations In certain quarters 'to change the tar­ iff laws. One of the hardest lessons in life to learn is to “let well enough alone." There may be cases where it changes could be made, without mater­ ial damage, but as a general.propositlon tinkering with the tariff ought to be discouraged. Jas. Calkins, who has accepted a position with a new manufacturing concern in Kalamazoo, states that it is impossible to get masons to do -the work, or cars iu which to get materials, Rll of which is very different from what 'conditions were when President Me Kinley took his oath of office four years ago. Then many inquiries were made by democrats as to why the Ad­ vance Agent of Prosperity was so far Ahead of his show. No such queries Are made now. C.apt. Richmond Pearson Hobson, of Mercimac fame, delivered the Memori­ al day address at Orion and in his re­ marks stated that be believed he was . voicing southern sentiment, when he said he was proud, glad and happy that it was now possible for southerners to join the north in a ceremony which marks the perpetuation of the Union. Sectional feeling is fast passing away and is a matter of rejoicing in all parts of the country. He further stated that Mfit research in history bad led him to ’ Believe that the civil war was a socio MtfMl necessity—that it was but one of tbe pangs that accompany the birth >nd growth of great beings. He thought that slavery was a part of divine prov­ idence to redeem tbe people of Africa. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. .

All membera of the association who expect to attend the banquet should notify Miss Mary Wooton, the secretary, at once. ~ . Johnnie Valentine, age 10 years, a practically homeless boy from Wood, land, was taken to the State Public School at Coldwater this morning in accordance with an order of the Pro­ bate court If a place could have been secured for Johnnie in this vicinity, he would have been kept here so that he and his sister, for whom a place was found sometime ago, might have kept track of each other.

PMOBATE ORDER. County of Barry, aa. JftUMN B. Mills. J wire of ITotxte, iSL’SASlgEiS?. PUT TO FLIGHT. lem Earnest Consideration. San Juan de Porto Rico, June 11.— Since Gov. Allen has returned here be has given the free trade ’ problem earnest consideration. Treasurer Hol­ lander has presented him with a re­ port showing in detail the workings of his new revenue acL He shows that when the law shall have gone into full force July 1 the island revenues will be sufficient for the island's maintenanoe without the customs duties on trade between Porto Rico and the United States. , The governor shows some hesitancy in acting, as he is undecided when it will be proper to call the legislature in extraordinary session for the purpoae of declaring that the island has in operation adequate system for col­ lecting revenues, as it has the power to do‘ under the Foraker organic act. Then, to make free trade a reality, for the act to remain, will be for the president to so proclaim. Were it known now that free trade would be declared on-.a given date, the-island sugar still unshipped would be^c^rnered by speculators to'the detriment of the planters. This Gov. Allen wishes to avoid. It is.safe to say that the legislature will be called to meet in extra session as soon after July 1 as is practicable. July 25 haa been sug­ gested. By recent act of the fending ago’s day, the feast of the patron saint ago’a day, the feast of thepatron saint of Spain has been made a legal holi­ day. The announcement that the govern? ment was preparing to bring about free trade coincided with the decision of supreme court that the tariff is valid. The two came together but had no connection, as the governor and his cabinet had been considering the mat­ ter ot free trade long before the su­ preme court’s decision was known. Porto Ricans have been clamoring for free trade since the beginning, and nothing, unless it be American citizen­ ship, would, please them more. WILL FIGHT THE TRUST.

Eaton Rapids Defeated. Yesterday afternoon Eaton Rapids suffered' defeat st the hands of the local ball team in one' of the best played games seen here in some time. Brown, who pitched for the home team, was invincible, but four hits being se­ cured off his delivery. The locals had no trouble in lining out Stringham’s south-paw twisters, but the excellent fielding of the visitors kept the score down. Hayes had a batting average of 100 making a hit each time at bat, and Wooton again distinguished him­ self by making a home run, but unfor­ tunately tbe bases were empty. The game was called at the end of the sev­ enth inning to allow the' visitors to catch the train. Following is the score: It hat been in tbe papers before, we have had it about five years.

XLVI AROUND NO d. Hastings Banner 0334 THE HISTORIC CAPITOL OF THE CONFEDERACY. And Many Most Interesting Places Visited In and Around the City. In 1609 a small settlement was made n what is now a part of Richmond, Virginia, and later it was protected by ;i fort called Fort “Charles.” In the ;;i i quarter of the 17th century, or in Col. Win. Byrd built a sawmill at thv settlement and for nearly three cpiabtecs of a century it was known as Byrd's Warehouse. In 1742 it was iiuule a town by legislative act and in" i.779 Richmond was made the capitol ,.f Virginia. This is a brief history of a city which seems tot have been the storm cehter in time; of conflict, from ht. earlist settlement down even to the Ail war. Few cities in the world ivv thq record of having been twice • i.-stroyed, and completely recovering tnim the scars of war, as Richmond In 1781 Benedict Arevidently has. nofd, the Lw»U4>r, at the head of a col­ nmn of Rritifi li troops, entered Richinond and redItfced the place to ashes, i:td in April 1865 Richmond was again .ained by the reliels, when the confed erate government evacuated it. A vis­ itor to the Virginia capitol today would little dream of the horrors of w’ar that have-been visited upon the place -im-e Its birth, and indeed, were it not surrounded by abundant natural re•mjv.vcs. and blessed with excellent _________ -ing facilities by both rail and water, (t could never have recovered irvtn. the losses it suffereiL . Not’ ■ ■••..y has the city recovered from the ; sm . -> of a third of a century ago, but it nas grown'great in iron, tobacco, > ur milling, wood working and in • u.inj otherAines of industries, and the 11barbs have been extended beyond the ■ ■hi fortifications. The city has over population, about one fifth of' :’:■* -people being employed in the vari­ ous factories. ' , - Richmond is situated on a group of picturesque hills, the historic Capitol buildings and grounds occupying prob­ ably the most prominent. The beauti­ ful capitol ground, comprising about 12 acres .is in the heart of the city, the capitol building surmounting the hill. The corner stone for the state-capitol Virginia was laid in 1785. It is a iieautifuj building of the colonial type, iij large pillared portico facing the t___________ river. Here jMKL, wfasfl the ■BFT' 4head n (1 the Con­ federacy, Richmond, being made the capito) of the Con- ^(.^BuMlor.Rlehmoud.V. Juj^ and in the historic building above shown.the Confederate congress met the 20th of July following. The Senate Chamber was used during the civil war i ■ the House of Representatives. This room, as well as the House of Dele­ gates opposite, contains several paint­ ings and pictures of great historical value. In the rotunda of the building is Houdon’s famous statue of Wash­ ington. which is said to be one of the most faithful counterfeit presentments of him in existence. In small niches in the walls of the rotunda are busts of distinguished personages, one of them . tHjing a bust of Lafayette, by Houdon. The capitol building is strikingly in­ adequate to meet the requirements of today, though several of the state de,partments are still located in the buildmg. Among them is the land office, located in the basement of the build­ ing, where we were shown grants of land dating back previous to 1640. The land office has the oldest rec­ ords in America, being continuous frqm 1620 to the present time. From the top of the capito) building a splen­ did view can be obtained of the coun­ try for miles around and the battle i fields of Fair Oaks and Seven Pines, Mechanicsville and Yellow Tavern can be seen. During the war 2267 batik's and engagements took place and over MK) of these were in the vicinity of Richmond. The capitol grounds are adorned by an Imposing equestrian statue of Washington, by Crawford, with the figures of Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, George Mason, Thos. Nelson, Jrn John Marshall, and Andrew Lewis—all noted Virginians— grouped below. Three of these statues are by Crawford and three by Rogers. On an outer and still lower circle of pedtatah are six figures in bronze, sym­ bolical of War, Peace,Justice,etc; 'The main shaft of the monument is 42 feet HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, JUNE 20, 1901. high, and the equeetriau Btatue of bronze is 85 ——----------feet Klgh. The menument com­ plete cost 8260,000.00, was c o m menced in 1858, and for many years was w“S&d‘,^uaTOtthe finest in the country, Also on the capita) grounds are Hart __ _ ’_______ w of Henry s statue Clay, and Foley’s bronze statue of Stonewall Jackson, presented to the state of Virginia by an Englishman. Near by is also the new library build­ ing which will contain all the volumes belonging to the state. In. the library building is the Museum, where one will find attractions eiiough to keep the eye and mind busy for *a week. An­ cient and valuable paintings of heroes, statesmen, early colonial governors and famous )>eraonages adorn the walls, among them being one of Pocahontas, painted on copper in 1616. Theta are alto nuuqberiess relics of both the revo­ lution and rebellion and many valuable and interesting documents’and letters, among the latter being the original let­ ter from Lord Cornwallis to Washing ton askiugMor a meeting to arrange terms of surrender. About a couple of blocks from the capitol grounds Is the large house for­ merly occupied by Jefferson Davis, and known as the “White House of the Confederacy.” It is a large three story ini[K FROM MANILA MAJ.

Hollywood also contains the graves of three ex­ Presidents, counting Jefferson Davis as an ex-President, which Virginians do. The graves of Presidents Monroe and Tyler are but a few rods apart, the former being encased in an iron en­ closure, while a simple slab marks the grave of President Tyler. Until with in the past year the grave of President Tyler was unmarked, but recently an unpretentiousystone has been placed to mark his last resting place. Perhaps this was hastened by a series of pic­ tures in the Ladies’ Home Journal last year showing the graves of our. ex* Presidents. At that time the grave of President Tyler was unmarked. The grave of his daughter, close by the side of his, is marked by a beautiful stone. Prominent among the other confeder­ ate dead in this beautiful cemetery are also the-remains of Generals Geo. E.

I will not repeat that period from the 28th of March to the 3rd of April. You can put her letter in there to make the ser­ ies complete. Wednesday was Mother’s birthday, and 1 thought of it a good many times during the day, but as it was nearly bedtime here before you got up, it was not very realistic. When I wakened Thursday morning a little earlier than usual, and looked out at my trunks bo^h packed, the bare walls, and the dry goodsjbox with a sheet around It, (my "dressing table”) standing empty and felt the oool morning air, what do you suppose it remlndedjme of? Why, the mornings when we used to leave our cottage at Bay View. I was some way reminded of that many times; but the illusion vanished with the hot sun, the natives, the waving tropical trees, the shacks, and a thousand other things. That makes me think, I had a letter from Roy Mansfield last boat They expect to spend next summer in Bay View. “Shall you? Shall I?” Thursday afternoon I went out with Ida Finley in their calesa. I drove and had a grand time, Ijuat love to drive those tearing little ponies. The calesa belongs to the brother who has gone to Australia. A calesa is a two wheeled carriage, and the native cochero has a little seat stuck on the back. When the top is let down, his head comes up an angel in sitting posture. between the top and the back of the Guj Crook ™ In Detroit Tneeday. calesa. He bolds the reins when you The grave Of Winnie. Jefferson Davis is marked by a square block of stone, surmounted by a bronze statue of himself, which can hardly be seen in the picture on account, of the trees in the lxrk ground. The stone oyer the grave of his daughter is surmounted by get out I have had great fun driving in this calesa since I came down here, and have had a different pony each time I’ve been out. One has to look out» especially in the Waited City when one crosses the streets, yon can’t see around the comer at all as the streets are very narrow, and the buildings are right up to the comers. Well, Thursday evening every one was apparently making a tour of the churches to the Walled City, so Miss F. and I joined with them and visited five. They were all grandly decorated with burning candles, and everything else imaginable, this being Holy Week. In nearly al] the churches they had a large, more than life-sized, figure of Christ laid on a bier as in death. In some cases the most magnificent jew­ els, gold embroidery etc. covered the body, the feet were left uncovered in some cases, stained with blood, and there were always grouped around these, men, women and children kiss­ ing the feet. Beside the statue was a dish for money, and nearly ev^ry one who kissed the feet left an offering there. -The dish was usually running over too. Good Friday used to be very rigidly observed here in Spanish time, and nd carriages except the Governor General’s and doctors’ were allowed in the streets. Even now no carromata or quilez can be hired that day, and the natives do not like to drive even pri­ vate carriages, so great crowds of peopie walk. Most of the stores were closed on Friday and Saturday. Friday evening at five o’clock there were pro­ cessions all over the city, the greatest one was in the Walled City. We viewed it. from the. Cotterman’s rooms and it is quite unique when one sees it for the first time. It consisted of several life sized, magnificently jeweled statues of the Virgin. These statues were borne on the backs of men. Long files of priests, men and women, nuns bearing lighted dandles three feet long, bands of music, stringed orchestras, men’s, choruses,. then a long line of different things in remembrance of the cruci­ fixion. They were mostly silver and gold borne on staffs. They bad the “white cock” that crew when Peter de­ nied his Lord, the key delivered to Pe­ ter, the thirty pieces of silver, hammer, three seem I ess shirts, a hand, (li did not know the significance of that), a tri­ stick (the Trinity), crown of thorns, reed of hyssop, sponge, etc. I do not think of any more. This morning we thought to hear some grand music. Were told it would be at eight at Santa Domingo Cathe­ dral. I went in the calesa and the rest in the carromata and carriage. We met the Muirs, who had come over from Cavite in the early dawn for the same purpose and went into the Cathredal, only to find that all their music had been at five o’clock. But *re final­ ly did hear some ..very beautiful music at St, Augistine’s, after which we went to Clarke’s and had coffee, then drove until ten and went to the Methodist services at the Y. M. C. A. room, Intromiros. They celebrated communion before the services, then Major Halford who was Pres. Harrison’s private sec­ retary, preached a very good sermon, and we got home a little after noon. Uncle just said “talk about your bake-bvens, we’re in one now, but I’m glad we’ve moved just the same.” You know he pays 815 more for this house than for the other one. Yesterday Ma­ jor West asked us to go to Cavite on the launch "Weston.” We left at three o’clock, there were only our family of six, Major West and his chief clerk. We had a very pleasant afternoon. The launch is small and there were some pretty large waves. Every one was drenched several times but no one minded as we got dry in about a min­ ute in the hot sun. We got back at six to quite a dismantled condition, and had to drive.up Malacan and the Luneta where all the carriages were out The doctor told me that going out on the bay was the best thing I eeuld do for my health, so I am going to try to go often to Cavite. This is especially nice and convenient for the free gov­ ernment ferry runs there, and the Muirs are always glad to see os, Monday, 4 p. m: I have just finished my lunch of a glass of ginger ale and bread and butter, and we are going out to ride soon. The boys just came to and said mall came from Hong Kong this monaing. When I think of it I can hardly wait It is three weeks next Wednesday since we have bad any mail and it is hard for you to realise what that means. This is a very, very hot day, but t\«re is a fair breeze. Mr. F., Uncle and the boys went for a long horseback ride before breakfast this morning, and had a grand time. After lunch Mr. W. read aloud to ur from Mr. Dooley in Peace and War in Harpers Weekly. The Finley girls had some folks in last evening and Mr. W. and I were there.

It has been decided by Judge Wiest, of Lansing, that exSpeaker Adams, former land'commissioner French, i^nd Pratt, the book agent, must be tried on the indictments returned against them by the Ingham county jury last winter. It will be recalled that the Ingham county prosecuting attorney moved that the cases against Adams, French and Platt, be dropped, as he did not think the testimony he could produce was sufficient to convict them of the charges of offlering and accepting bribes to induce legislative action. Judge Wiest has taken -the position, however, that it is due to the state that such, testimony as it possesses should be fully presented and the queetion as to whether or not it is sufficient to con­ vict to be left entirely to a jury. We believe the people of the ttate will heartily support Judge Wiest in this decision. That all of the parties con­ nected with tbe gigantic military frauds of a year ago should escape punishment is to the everlasting dis­ honor of lhe cause of justice in Michi­ gan. The farce has gone quite far. enough, and the good work of the Ing­ ham county grand jury should now be brought to some definite result if such a thing is possible.

In many portJons of this district at high elevations in the mountains wheat Is often seriously damaged by early dtitiimn frosts, if Is therefore impor­ tant to obtain for these localities the earliest maturing varieties ixissible or varieties that may perhaps resist the action of frosts. For example, tbe San Lujfi valley of Colonuio wheat is grown nt an elevation of over 7,500 feet, whore frost Is likely to occur in'any month of the year, but Is especially lia­ ble to injure the drop In August. The following is a summary of condi­ tions nnd needs of the district: First.—Chief varieties now grown— Sonora. Taos. Felspar, Little Club, De­ fiance. Amethyst. Second.—Average yield per acre, about 21 bushels. Third.—Needs of the grower—(a)’in­ crease of the gluten content, (b) early maturity.—Marc A. Carleton. .

BLISS CABLES SYMPATHI It neMeailsEasg Is Expected That the Pingree, Will Reach " the Bedside of lhe Sick Man by Next Tueaday or Wednea Detroit, June 18.—The following dis­ patches have been received here: London, Eng., June 17, 7 p. m.—Ex­ Gov. Pingree’s condition is no more satisfactory than it has been for the past 24 hours. H. S. Pingree, Jr., said this evening: “Father seems about the same, except that I think he is weaker even than yesterday." Dr. Mills said to a representative ot the Associated Press: "There is no material change in thepatlent, except that the constant drain on his consti­ tution is proving a most difficult proh lem for his physicians to combaL" London, Eng., June 18.—Ex-Gov. Pingree’s physician left him at mid night last night. There is continued apprehension as to his condition. The strongest drugs have failed to check the dysentery, and the only hopeful symptom is that the patient Is enabled freely to partake of nourishment. Wben Frank C. Pingree yesterday forenoon showed Mrs. Hazen S. Pin­ gree a copy of a cablegram from hei son "Joe” reading: "Governor's con­ dition unchanged: slightly weaker," she at once decided to start for Lon­ don and the bedside of her sick hus­ band. . "The information that the ex-gov­ ernor was ’slightly weaker' was what caused Mrs. Pingree to positively an nounce her intention of making the ocean . voyage, notwithstanding her own frail health," said Frank C. Pin­ gree yesterday afternoon. Accompanied by Mrs. Hazen S. Pin­ gree and Miss Hazel Pingree, the ex­ governor’s only living daught<, Frank C. Pingree left for New York city on a Michigan Central train at 4:25 standard yesterday afternoon. They will sail tomorrow on the Affierican line steamer St. Paul, for London, where the ex-governor lies dangerous ly 111 at the Grand hotel fronting Tra­ falgar square. Carl E. Schmidt, a close friend of ' the Plngrees, accompanied Mrs. Hazen S. Pingree to the train. Mrs. Frank C. Pingree. John B. Howarth, of the shoe manufacturing firm of Pingree & Smith, and Robert Oakman were also there to see the party off. Everybody expressed hope that the members of the party would find the ex-governor greatly improved and ready to start for Detroit upon their arrival in Lon: don. It is expected that the Plngrees will reach London next Tuesday or Wed­ nesday. Eastern friends of the ex-goyernor have telegraphed Frank C. Pingree, offering services through English friends, and several telegrams of sym pathy have been received by the fam­ ily. Before leaving Frank C. Pingree said he had much faith in his brother’s strong constitution to carry him i through, but he was not so hopeful as last week. Gov. Bliss was in the city on busi­ ness last evening.. Before departing for Saginaw be sent a cablegram to ex-Gov. Pingree, which read: _ "Lansing, Mich., June 17. 1901. "Ex-Gov. Pingree, Grand Hotel, Lon­ don.

Wise and fear­ less as a leader, generous to an enemy; dignified in defeat, Gen. Robt. E. Lee’s memory will always be sacredly cher­ ished by the south for the gallant light he-made against superior numbers, and in the face of certain defeat. He is to the south what Gen. Grant was to the north, and no city,. town or hamlet thinks that it is complete unless it has built a monument or named a square, street or building in his mem­ ory. And indeed it seems strange that although. the south practically lost its all in the civil war, and as a result the l>eopl6 were burdened with taxation, yet that section of the country, far more than the north, honors the mem­ w.L'hinKtonN He&dquartem. ory of its illustrious sons in building i;:ii»is-now used as a museum, and is monuments, streets and buildings, and lilt d with many interesting relics per- at a time too when to do so meant no laining to the ■"Father of his Country.” little sacrifice.

W. R. Cook. GARNISHEE BILL. Signed by Governor.—To Take Ef­ fect In Ninety Days. The much talked of garnishee bill that has been before the state for some time has at last become law, the gov­ ernor placing his signature thereon. The Free 4’reite has this to say In re­ gard to it: “After being pulled one way and then another for a week past the governor finally fixed his signature to the garnishee bill. whi^h will bring down upon him the wrath of a large •portion of the labor element through­ out the state, while the retail mer­ chants will correspondingly call him blessed. The new bill which will takeef feet ninety days after the final adjourn­ ment of the legislature, allows an ex­ emption of 80 per cent of a man’s wag­ es with the proviso that the exemption shall never be less than 88 or more than 830. For example, if a man re­ ceives 840 there would be exempt 80^per cent, provided it did not exceed 830. In this case the 80 per cent equals $30 leaving 810 or 20 per cent subject to garnishee." The Free ITess figuring is a little off but the principle is shown.. 1' is ot colonial type of construction •>ut seems at present tn be hi a rather ‘lilapidatHl condition. Richmond also ! as its famous church, the. same os has all Virginia cities of any age. It is St. Johns Church, and within its sacred walls Patrick Henry is said to have made his famous speech, "Give me lib-, erty or give me death’” An addition , was made to the church about 50 years ag<>, and since Patrick made his famous speech the interior has been altered. Not far from this church is “Bloody Rufi” whpre Bacon defeated the in­ . dians in a fierce battle which gave the place its name. A little further on is the grave of Powhatan, the father of Pocahontas. Richmond and vicinity was the cen­ ter of operations during the civil war, aud the confederates must certainly be given due credit for making a gallant defense. Everything that could be done to impress the Union officers of the strength of its defences was done, even to making “bogus cannon” out of logs, Troxel Musical Club. painting them like the genuine article, The Troxel Musical Club Chib will meet and mounting them on the fortifica­ at chehome of Mrs. James .

It is needless The 19th annual banquet of the Has­ tings High School Alumni Association was^held at tim Parish house, Friday evening, and was4^rgely attended. So enjoyable have been the programs of this^association in the past that the banquet of the Alumni Association has come to be regarded^ as asocial event, and all -who are*permitted to-go count themselves fortunate. iTevious to the banquet, through the kindness of Mrs. Rose Colgrove, the the members and invited guests assem­ bled on her lawn, and transacted whaC business was necessary, the meeting be­ ing called to order and presided over by C. H. Thomas, president of the as­ sociation, and the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: jITtwldent—From WHUson. } Ice president—H. C. Greunel, Jr. Hecn un Myrtle Sullivan. Treasurer -Miss Mary Wootou. The business session being ended, shortly after six o’clock the members marched to the Parish house where the interior was filled with long rows of tableg, covered with snow white linen, glistening silver and sparkling glass. About 135 were present, all of whom remained .standing during the invoca­ tion by Rev. Bullen. The menu was fully in keeping with the excellent reputation of the Epis­ copal ladies in the culinary line, and the ertse and rapidity with which all wire served was very favorably com­ mented upon. ‘ Another feature that added greatly to the enjoyment of the occasion was the delightful music famished by Trox­ ell’s orchestra, which rendered several selections during the banquet hour, and during the program of toasts that were highly appreciated. The delicious refreshments, delight­ ful music, and the many happy as­ sociations, incident to these yearly banquets placed everyone in an ex­ cellent- humor for the toasts which fol­ lowed. Mr. E. F. Botum also proved himself very proficient in his capacity as toastmaster and each succeeding speaker was'•introduced In a ' very j happy manner. The first to respond after the introductory remarks of the toastmaster, was Guy E. Bauer, whose “Welcome to'the Class of 1901" containvd much advice that cannot but be helpful.if followed. He dwelt upon the necessity of building good char­ acter. Education is by no means all thattis required, .but education, indus­ try and good judgment, supplemented with a good strong character is bound to win success. school year had brought forth, and was satisfied, as he has reason to be, with conditions as they exist at the high school. , . Beu Lmj responded to the toast “Bricks.” He said it waeX “hard sub­ ject” to talk about, but the many good thoughts that he brought out, wouldn’t make it seem aS a very difficult one. With bricks he proceeded to build a house called character and built it in a very substantial manner. Mrs. Frank Hams rendered the solo “Fleeting Days" very effectively, her beautiful voice never showing to.better advantage than on this occasion. “Bats'* was the very wide subject given Don Smith and out of the mis­ cellaneous assortment he picked up a ball bat and proceeded to walk up to the home plate and “strike out." The various positions on the ball field were wittily referred to, and in summing up, life was compared to the base' ball field, where each contestant must do his best, and make as few errors as possi­ ble if he expects to keep his position. Leon Bauer spoke of “Trades” and in his remarks spoke of how the world is today demanding specialists—men and women skilled in doing one certain thing and doing it. well. His advice was to select what vocation one feels best adapted to fill, and then.spare no pains or expense in doing everything possible to excel in that avocation. Miss Nonna Michael dwelt upon some of the qualities that win success in . life, and told of how necessary it was to try and adapt conditions as we find them to our own good. Honesty, industry, perseverance and tact are es­ sential qualities to success in life,and referred to instances appropriate to her subject. “The Old School Songs" was the -sub­ ject assigned to Mrs. Elva Mudge and Responded to very nicely by her. -Sev­ eral of the old school songs that have passed into ancient history were referred to, and, the influence of these old songs was touched upon. With a selection by Troxell’s Orches­ tra closed one of the most enjoyable Alumni gatherings fn years. Toast­ master Botum who had so much to do in preparing and carrying out the pro­ gram is entitled to much credit for this enjoyable occasion. As the association grows each year the necessity for some suitable hall or opera house empha­ sizes itself, and we hope, as we .have hoped before in vain, that before an­ other year rolls around that Hastings will be blessed with such a building. The Last Meeting. WHOLE NO. 2394. GRADUATING f XERCISfS PLEASANTLY CARRIED OUT FRI DAY AFTERNOON. Individual Efforts were Exceptionally Good and Appreciated by a Large Gathering. The twenty-fourth annual com­ mencement of the Hastings High School wa%, very- successfully carried out in the park south of the school building, on Friday afternoon last, be­ ginning at 2:00 o'clock. A commodious stage had beeu-prected among the spreading trees add this was tastily decorated with flags, bunt­ ing,potted plantsand palms, present­ ing a very handsome appearance. The class mo to, “Esto Quod Esse Videris" was conspicuously displayed in both Latin and English. Troxell’s Orchestra furnished deligh tful music during the progress of the program. The invocation was given by Rev. T. S. Woodin. The opening event on the program was a boy’s chorus given by nearly fifty boys and girls, and this together with a girls’ chorus given later on were pro­ nounced to be very fine by those in at­ tendance. The salutatory by Miss Emma J. Wightman was very nicely rendered and well received. An oration "Monu­ ment Building," by Miss Grace Zagelmeier, was meritorious and interesting as was also the oration by Louis W ardell and that on “Tolstoi” by John L. Powers. Mabel J. Hicks 'gave an in­ teresting and ingenious oration on the "Chambered Nautilus” followed by “Etchings From Memory,” an oration of more than ordinary merit by Milroy B. Hutchinson. Then occnred the girls’ chorus before mentioned, and this was followed by an oration. “Our Duties Toward Our Colonies” by Clayton G. Hinkley. The valedictory by Maude L. Carter was very -fine and elicited much favorable comment. The con ferring of diplomas aud the benedic­ tion were the Anal acts in this sequel to years of hard work and study on the part of the class of 1901, Hastings High School. That the reward may be more than adequate is the sincere wish of the Banner.. Attendance at the exercises was es­ timated to be between 800 and 1000. The very best of Order, and a genuine interest was manifest throughout, the whole affair was as pleasant and succhssful as it possibly could be with-the .possible exception of the threatened rainstorm which somewhat interfered with the closing exercises. The last meeting of the Women’s Club will be held in the Supervisor's Boom Friday afternoon of this week, at half past two o’clock sharp. As the “.Articles of Incorporation” must be signed at this meeting it is hoped every Michigan Central Excursion. membpr of the Club will endeavor to be Special excursion to Grand Rapids, present.

PURE (TRACI MILTON RELICS AT HARVARD The Harvard library numbers among Its treasures an autograph of Milton and a copy of “Pindar" annotated in Milton’s own handwriting, with mar­ ginal notes In Greek and Latin. Both of these rarities were bequeathed to the university by Charles Sumner. The "Pindar” is dated 1620 and was doubtless used by Milton during his stay at Cambridge university, At the end be has added an alphabetical index In manuscript, occupying two closely written pages ot alk the authors cited in bls notes, with references to the pages in which their names occur. Milton's autograph is found in the pages of an autograph album or visit­ ors’ book kept, according to a custom common in the sixteenth century, by a Neapolitan nobigman, Camillus Cardoyn by name, whO resided in Genera from IGOS to 1640, where Milton, ap­ parently, viidted him. Another auto­ graph In this same album among the hundreds which it contains fs that of Thomas Wentworth, the unfortunate Earl of SudTord. Milton’s signature Is dated Jan. 10, 1639, and is appended to a Latin motto—‘Travel changes one’s sky, but not one’s mind,” it may .be freely rendered and a quotation from bls own "Coruna v “If Vertue feeble were. Heaven itselfc would atoope to her.” The most notable Milton manuscript known to exist Is a little book now owned by Trinity college.

A Cement Which Resists Acid. In some branches of industry a ce­ ment which is proof against the influ­ ence of acids is absolutely essential, and such a substance can be prepared by melting together one part of India robber with two parts of linseed oil.

UP ENGLISH COURTS. of Almost Everyday Dae Iatelll*«BC« In a case that came before a famous lord Justice some time CO“^! for the prosecution in the evidence bad to mention a "blouse.” The judge asked what a blouse was, end it was explained that this was part of a lady’s dress. But the case cama to a dehd stop for the £lme. for the judg* did not know which part, and some hesitation the barrister admitted that he wasn’t sure. Several learned brothers gave their opinion, some opin­ ing a blouse was the upper half of a lady's costume, while others insisted it must be the lower half. The entire court, filled with learned celebrities whose heads held all the laws of Brit­ Ain, from pitch and toss to manslaugh­ ter, argued it out, but nobody was sure. The judge thought it was the lower half, but a junior barrister who had lately been married said he thought that that half was called ,a skirt, but did not feel certain. At length a lady was called, who set the court rigbtAnothcr odd dilemma happened not long ago when In the Hobsoli "horse faking*.’ case the word “fetlock" arose. A fetlock, as everybody knows. Is the ankle of a boroe. The court asked what it was, however, and the prose­ cuting counsel was nonplused? The witnesses were out of court save one, and he knew nothing. The Judge thought a fetlock was a sort of hind knee, otherwise '’hock,’’ but one learn­ ed brother was quite certain it was the lock of hair that hangs over a horse's forehead. The defendant’s solicitor opined It was that part of the harness which slips over the tail, the crupper, and another legal celebrity agreed with the Judge. Finally.the court had to call a stable groom to clear up the mystery. In a case that was settled some years since the recorder was brought up short by a phrase used by the counsel for defense, who spoke of a transaction concerning a pound of "blacklead.” This is a common and useful article, but the counsel on being asked to ex­ plain its nature said It was a black substance used for boot polishing. The recorder thought it was a mineral used In lead pencils, but another barrister asserted It to be a “tough kind of lead used for roofing houses." The case was brought to a standstill, and one lawyer, unsurpassed in legal knowledge, de­ clared that blacklead was a slang term for pig iron' as produced in the north country. A fourth expounder of the law vaguely suggested it was the op­ posite of white lead, and .finally a do­ mestic servant pdf the court right, and the assembly at last learned that it was used for blacking stoves. Another dilemma was produced a lit­ tle while ago on the western circuit by the introduction of the words “dry nurse" in an address to the court. This bewildered the Judge, who asked If a dry nurse was a nurse who dried ba­ bies after they had been washed. That solution did not occur to the learned counsel, who. after some hesitation, said he thought it meant a nurse who was not addicted to drinking and there­ fore most suitable to look after Infants. Nobody seemed to know what the term , really meant, though several more guesses were made, the last of them that a dry nurse was one who could not amuse children. The court was again nonplused by a statement made that somebody con­ cerned in the case supposed to suffer from melancholia was really “as Jolly as a sandboy.” The Judge wanted to know what a sandboy was In order to form some idea as to the exact degree of jollity Involved. The counsel could not tell him, though one suggested It was a boy who-sanded the roads and the other thought it might be a lad building sand castles on the seashore. The whole court stopped to discuss what a sandboy was and why be was Jolly, but they could not solve the prob­ lem. It Is hardly believable that anybody should not know what a “snaffle” is, but a London magistrate recently desir­ ed to be Informed, and nobody could tell him what a snaffle might be. A solicitor thought It was the same thing as the "curb,” and the clerk had an idea it was a kind of cold In the head which horses caught, causing them to snuffle a good deal.—London Answers. STANDARD TIME. The difficulty of appreciating the dif­ ference in time that prevails between different countries is very general, and the following list is printed for the pu^ pose of a ready reference guide by which to calculate the time of any oc­ currence in another country. AU na­ tions except Spein. Portugal and Rus­ sia calculate their time from the meri­ dian of Greenwich, accepting as stand­ ard some even hour meridian east or west of Greenwich. For instance: Westefu European time, or that of the meridian of Greenwich, ta legal la England. Belgium. Holland and Lux­ emburg. Central European time, or one hour east of Greenwich, is legal In Germany. Austria-Hungary. Bosnia and Herxegovina, the Kongo Free State. Denmark. Italy, Servia. Sweden, Norway and Swltaerland. Eastern European time, or two hours esst of Greenwich, is adopted by Bul­ garia. Roumanla, Natal and Turkey la Europe. Eight hours east of Greenwich ap­ plies to the Philippines. Nine hours east of Greenwich is adopted by central Australia and Ja­ pan. Ten hours east of Greenwich is offi­ cial in Victoria, Queensland and Tas­ mania. Eleven aad a half hours east has been adopted by New Zealand. The United States, Canada and Mexi­ co have adopted the fifth, sixth.' sev­ enth and eighth hours west of Green­ wich. The Hawaiian Islands adopt the me­ ridian of 10% hour* west. In Spain the meridian of Madrid. 14 minutes 45 seconds west of Green­ wich.

That would be none too often to keep it In order. “As a matter of fact a piano begins to get out of tune again at once after it has been tuned. How could it be otherwise? Nothing stands still. This difference would at first be so slight as scarcely to be perceptible to any but the practiced and sensitive ear of an expert tuner, but it is there. Doesn’t a clock begin to run down as soon as it is wouud up? Four times a year a piano ought to be tuned, but only a compara­ tively small percentage of people give their piauos that attention which Is needed to keep tbehnin their mort-per­ fect loveliness of tone. Piano makers and dealers of course are looking after the tuning of their pianos in stock scrupulously and carefully all the time. You don’t hear pianos out of tune In a piano wareroom. They never let them get out of tune there. They aim. In fact at keeping them as near perfec­ tion as they can. "We are pretty sure to find in-every new. piano something pleasing and at­ tractive. Some share at least of this pleasing quality comes from its being In perfect tune. In tact to keep any piano at Its best It must be kept in tune, and to attain the results most sat­ isfactory to all, to the owner and the neighbors alike, a tuning todic should be administered to every piano not less than four times a year.”—New York Sun.

"It is a begro go|ng in an opposite direc­ tion from a brass band.” Colonel Ingersoll was a temperate man, but not a teetotaler. One day Mrs. James G. Blaine was passing through Fifteenth street opposite the treasury department, when out from a liquid refreshment saloon came Cdlonel Ingersoll and a friend. “My dear colo­ nel," said she. “you would not be seen coming out of such a place, would you?’ "My dear madam,” replied be.

British officialism in South Africa as told by one who was there. The colonel of a pioneer regiment repairing „ the railtoad after one of Gen. DeWet’s many breakages discovered a fine empty house which he proceeded to oc­ cupy as headquarters. When the news of the colonel’s comfortable quarters reached Blpemfonteln he received a telegram which read as follows: “G.T*. M. wants house.” The; colonel was unable to make out what “G. T. M.“ meant and applied to ^omp officers who translated it aa “general traffic man­ ager.” “AIL right,” said the Colonel, “If he can use hieroglyphics, so can 1.” So he wired back: “G. T; M. can G. T. H.” Two days later hp received a dis­ patch from Bloemfontein ordering .him to appear before a board of inquiry. On appearing he was asked what he \neant by sending such an insulting message to a superior officer. “Insult­ ing?” repeated the Colonel Innocently. “It was nothing of the jtind." ‘ But what did you mean,” demanded his superior "by telling me I can G. T. “It was simply an abbreviation* ‘G. T M. (general traffic manager) can G. T. H. (get the house.)’ ” The following is from an official re­ port of Gen.

EDITORIAL NOTES The democrats are still looking for Un issue upon which they can afford to make another bluff at a campaign? A French paper describes the Ameri­ can people’ as ‘ money mad.” It doee hot appear to be far from the truth on that characterization. England qi finding that the suppoeed)y conquered Boers still have lots of fight iu them, and Gen. Kitchener is compelled to send many a dispatch With the customary “I regret to an­ nounce,” etc. .i Troubles do come to some folks kingly. There’s the czar of all the Rusfeias, for instance. He wants a eon. Hut his good wife has presented him 'with four daughters in succession, the latest one day last week, additional local The demand coming from all quar­ ters that Roosevelt shall be the Repub­ lican standard bearer in 1904 goes to Bhow that there are many Americans who do not regard the vice presidency <ts the grave of presidential candidates. The trade balmice of 850.0(1),000 com­ ing Uncle Sam’s way every 30 days is Very consoling, and shows the wisdom pf the financial policies of the republi­ can party, under which this country is prospering as no other nation ever did. The Pennsylvania Central Railroad ^didn’t propose to be under the [thumb of the newly organized steel trust, so that enterprising railroad has^ lately ‘ bought the immense plant of the Pemu eylvauia Steel Co., and can manufac­ ture its own steel rails and steel bridges. Cripple Creek’s gold output for the Hist four moilths of this year i» 811­ 000,000. It is claimed that the produc­ tion is increasing, that for 1901 khe to­ tal for that one camp will be 830,000,­ 000. Nature seems to l^e a party to* the ’’conspiracy” to maintain thd gold standard. The revelations being made pf cor­ ruption in the purchase and distribution pf army supplies at the investigation now proceeding at Manilla art* very .Unwelcome to the American people, Xvho would like to fee! that their mili­ tary forces are above that comuiercialisiik which is the festering sore of American public life. LIt is suggested that the 50 day limit during which bills may be introduced in the Michigan legislature is respons­ ible for the long session’ of that ’ body. This limit was 4xed in order to insure short sessions, but it is claimed |ha*t it • tends to increase the ngunber of bills introduced, and to practically shut out Uny attempt at legislation during the SO days. The people of Michigan will uanieetly hope that whatever tends to lengthen the sessions of the Michigan legislature may be removed. President McKinley is about to1 begin the negotiations for reciprocity treaties 'with foreign nations as he was eippowvred to do by ceiigrees. Protection and reciprocity are essential to the proper development of American industry and American commerce, and President llcKiuley is entirely in harmony- with Republican principles and policies in moving for reciprocal trade, with the nations of Europe, and with our sister republics of Mexico, Central and South America. There are continued indications of a break-up of the solidarity of the once Solidly Democratic South. Not only has Senator McLauren, of South Carolina, broken with his picturesque colleague Tillman, over the question of holding back the attempts in the South to op­ pose democratic politics which would ’harm the interests of that section, but >iow comes the leading business man, and largest manufacturer of that state, Vaptain Ellison A. Smythe, a Ulfe-long democrat, who says the South must for b* own good, accept republican poliriea and ideas. All aMerman In McKeesport, Penn., could not be a Christian and bold In order to get what felt his ward ought to get. he found have to vote for what other demanded for their wards. would not do this m many cases be­ lt* felt it his duty to oppose what MM of the other aidermen demanded Markets REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. But a French manufacturer de­ clares that we are rapidly coming to an “age of glass.” The basis for this claim is first the abundance and cheap­ ness of materials .from which glass is made and second a newly invented pro­ cess for hardening that product It can, so he claims, be made harder than granite, aud be made to have 30 times the amount of resistance to a crushing blow than the best grade of marble. It can be colored to suit ones taste, and moulded iu any shape. Therefore glass is destined, he says, to become the prin­ cipal material for buildings, requiring nothing but cement aud angle iron in construction work. From celler to ths peaks of the roof, all will be glass, shaped and colored to suit the taste of the builder. The glass house will be cleaner than any other, will not require painting, can be kept cool, and can be made absolutely sanitary and fire proof. This same savant also declares that city streets will be paved with tem­ pered glass, which will be far harder, and much smoother than either granite or brick, and will last longer. Stranger things have happened in the last fifty years than the changes suggested by tills glass maker.

Juhe 25.—WAllam Brackenfelder, alias "Reddy," a no­ torious local crook, was shot and in­ stantly killed by Jay O. Foster, a wellknown young colored man, living just outside the city limits. Brackenfelder was recently sent to the Jackson prison for five years' for Highway robbery, but was granted a new trial, returned a few days ago and was released on bail. The police were given the tip that “Reddy,*’ together with two other wellknown characters, were acting in % suspicious manner, and a close watchwas kept on their movements until a late hour, when they suddenly disap­ peared. Soon after tills the Foster family heard a slight noise on the porch roof of their house, and young Foster took a shotgun and stepped to the door, fir­ ing at random, it is claimed, with the intention of frightening the intruders away, but Brackenfelder, who in a tree close to the house, received--the full charge in the right side, tearing^a large hole and penetrating the lower part of the lung. The dead man had a bad record, having been twice in the state prison, also serving numerous short sentences In ,tbe Monroe county jail, arid- was' looked upon as an all-around bad man. Hls.accomplices have not yet been apwahended. Foster, who did the shooting, has lived in this city all of his life, and bears an excellent reputation, never having been in trouble of any kind be­ fore, and public opinion Is decidedly ip his favor. aloo rr Mayor I ooUF-C.

And Two Young Men From Chicago Were Drowned BOTH THEIR BODIES RECOVERED The Regular Entertainments at the Gretna Green Were Somewhat Marred by a Very Sad Accident Yes­ terday. SL Joseph, Mich.. June 24 —The largest crowd of the season visited Su Joseph's Gretna Green yesterday. There were many excursions and all were crowded. The Chicago crowd was Immense. One sad Incident, however, marred the pleasure* of the Chicago people. Two young men, who accompanied the morning excursion from Chicago, were drowned in the river at the foot of Water street at 2 o’clock. They were Midhael Laenowuecki and Theo­ dore Michalski, both aged 23 .years, and residents of 402 and 404 Elston avenue. They went out in a row boat from the Drake & Wallace livery and began rocking the little craft from side to side. • Soon the keepers of the livery heard screams and rushed to the rescue in small boats. It was too late, howeverr as the boat had over­ turned and was floating rapidly down the river. The life-saving crew was summoned and after a careful search . recovered the bodies. Neither could be revived. The bodies Were removed to Ballinger’s morgue and prepared for shipment to Chicago on the night steamer. Tho young men were Identi­ fied by papers in their pockets. The accident was witnessed by hundreds of resorters. ' The dally entertainments were started yesterday, consisting of high diving and balloon ascensions.

So successfully has tffis been done that the club may congratulate themselves upon the result- The com mittee having this part of the work under their Immediate supervision, re­ ported a continued interest and gave interesting facte which proved con­ clusively the wisdom which attempted so great a responsibility. The club are indebted to Mr. J. T. Lombard and other generous friends, for the fi­ nancial assistance that enabled us to meet all bills, and leuve^ a balance on hand towards the next year’s work, of 817.12., .’ . ‘ The consideration of deciding upon a room in which to hold the meetings for the coming year resulted in favor of the Episcopal L’arish House. The thanks of the club are due the City Council who so generously gave us the use of the council room, the past year. Our regret is that we are obliged to leave it, for, aside from the noise con­ sequent upon the new factory’s occupation of the second story, it was an ideal room for club purposes. If we only had a public spirited Mr. Carnegie, who would relieve our em­ barrassment, by building us a club bouse! An “annual move” is as bad for a women’s club, as it is for thg, ordinary household. The most, important business of the afternoon was signing the articles of incorjioration, and wo are much indebted to Judge Smith who so generously came to take the achuow’ledgments of those present. The program was opened by the reading of the paper “Crnmbs.SweptUp,” by Mrs. Elizabeth Barber, the president ele^t, written in the quaint style of Chronicles of the formation and growth of the club, aud criticisms of its management. This was foUowed'by an admirable paper upon “Journeyings in California” by Mrs. Hanna Barlow; being actual experiences in sight seeing during a part of her twenty mouth’s sojourn in that sunny land. The paper elicited hearty applkuse and we shall all ei equel which is promised.

PLAN FOR CCITIBO ICK. cakes the desired width Is laid on the Ice, and a board laid up against it A mark Is made along the edge of tho board by pushing tho forward corner of an ax along the side of tbe board. Saw up this mark with a crosscut saw, having one handle removed. These strips can be made into cakes by chop­ ping at suitable distances across them with an ax. Some saw both ways; but I consider It a saving of time to block them off aud do what trimming mayXpe necessary In the icehouse, where tho clippings come handy to fill in the crev­ ices. Of course a thin bladed sharp ax Is quite as essential here as elsewhere. ’ Our icehouse la about 40 rods from the pond, and to the best of my recol­ lection for the past 20 years we would, begin to get Ice M-hen the ground was bare and would of course have to hoist the Ice In the wagon at the pond and carefully engineer from the wagon to the bottom of the Icehouse, but about the time tbe filling had reached a plane even with the wagon box a snow would come, and although this would save us some labor at the pond It was lost by the extra lift necessitated at the Ice­ house. A few years ago, being short of help, I was casting about for some way to save the lift at the pond, and my eyes fell on the stoneboat Ours Is rather wider than tbey are ordinarily made, about three feet, I should say.

Cattle and Horace Do Not Get Frl«ht“Do the horses and cattle get fright­ ened and make much disturbance Ih rough weather?" asked the writer of a New York dealer who ship* cattle abroad. "Bless you, no. • They’ve got sea legs that would put an old salt to shame. Occasionally a horse will lose bls bal­ lance, but a bullock Is the greatest bal­ ancer you ever saw. Tbey are knowing brutes too. Yoh know, we put them four in a pen. Well? you’ll never find all four standing up or lying down at one time.' Tbey figure the thing out and decide how they’ll get the most room- and most comfort. So two of them stand up while two lie down. When they get tired, tbey shift the watch. "The horses like to be talked to when there’s a big sea on and things are pretty lively. They always like cer­ tain men better than others. So do the cattie. We have one man who’can do anything with them. Every bul­ lock aud horse on tbe boat knows him by the time we’ve been out two days. He comes In bandy when there’s an accident. "It’s mighty seldom that a serious accident bappedli nowadays, but once in awhile a horse or a bullock does get thrown and breaks a leg or does some bad damage. We don’t carry a veterinary. The men know as much about ordinary cattie and horse ail­ ments as any vet, and if one of the brutes breaks his leg there’s nothingfor It but to kill him. A veterinary couldn’t do anything for him. "The company charges from $6 to 820 a head for carrying arttie and from 827 to >250 a head for horses.

One story that is told of Lincoln re­ lates to that extreme, correctively crit­ ical attitude which Secretary Seward alwayy maintained toward the presi­ dent. . Mr. Lincoln and tiie secretary had ’managed to escape from a man who had been boring them, and os they reached the bouse tbe president threw himself Into • an armchair and ex­ claimed: “By jlngs. governor, we are heYq’” Mr. Seward replied by asking In a reproving tone: "Mr. President where did you learn that Inelegant (expression?" Mr. Lincoln \ immediately turned to, ■several youngs men'^who had entered tbe room in time to bear tho exclama­ tion and said: "Young gentlemen, excuse me for swearing before you. ‘By jlngs’ is swearing, for my good old mother taught me that anything that had a ‘by’ Ijefore it Is swearing. I won’t do so any more.’’—Youth’s Companion. Only Sunburned. Last summer two little girls In a College avenue family were repeatedly remonstrated with by their Indulgent mother for playing bareheaded in tho sun. "You will be burned so badly," said she to them finally, "that people will think you are black children.’’ Her warning bad little effect, however, and she gave up trying to keep their hats on. One day she sent them to a neighbor a block or so distant to make some In­ quiries concerning a washwoman. Mrs. 8., the neighbor In question, mistook them for tbe children of a Mrs. Black who lived in another street nearby. "You are the little Black children, are you not?" she asked.

In her “Talks With Girls” In Wom­ an’s Home Companion Ada C. Sweet gives tbe following excellent advice to aervous women and' to gir^i who be­ lieve that pretend to fear is a femi­ nine virtue: “Without courage a fine, high charac­ ter Is . Impossible. Girts need'to culti­ vate this magnificent virtue. To be afraid of nothing Is enviable. It is too much tbe custom to excuse girl* for cowanlice, which Is the lowest form of selfish'fear. Yet It Is not uncommon to bear a girl say, T am an abject cow­ ard.’ “This confession should be rebuked, but out of deference to custom we only smile when we hear It,from girls or women. A boy or man Is ashamed of yielding to fear. He conceals his weakness if he is afraid, and in con­ cealing it half cures it, for he is obliged to battle with his abject lore of self In order to keep the respect of the people around him. In the end he asserts hte own power and ceases to be ruled by tear. “Nervous, impressionable girls should cease to slander themselves by an­ nouncing that tbey are cowards. It is dangerous to play with vital source* of character. The girt who thinks or says, ‘Oh, I should be frightened out of my wits by a fire! I should throw myself out of the first window,’ etc., will, it is more than likely, do some­ thing foolish should a fire occur where she Is. Tiie girl who thinks and says that in case of fire she will first of all strive to keep her mind steady and then do all she ran practically and quickly for others and herself, will probably turn out /a genuine heroine when her time of trial comes. “Tx> assume voluntarily the attitude of a helpless weakling la dangerous. Habits of mind, of iinaglnati.in, be­ come fixed, as do those of tbe body. Anyway, don’t boast of any of your weaknesses. Courage ran be cultivat­ ed if one has a determined wUt" j | ; i gero’is, nervous trouble. Those hot Cashes are just so many calls frum nature for help. Tbe nerres are cry­ ing oat for assistance.

FATAL BOLT STRUCK AND DE­ MOLISHED A PIER. Chicago, July 2.—Eleven boys were killed and one probably fatally in jured yesterday afternoon by a singls bolt of lightning. The victims were fishing in Lake Michigan at the foot of Montrose boulevard, on the north side. The fa­ tal bolt struck the pier where they were seated and all were thrown into the lake. A. policeman, -attracted to the pier by crashing Umbers, found it taposaible to rescae.any of the victims. The heavy timbers of the pier had been, shattered, and the whole structure toppled into the water. He hurried to a patrol box and called for assistance. Nearly half an hour elapsed before aid arrived. The work of recovering the bodies was extremely difficult, hut finally all were carried ashore. The storm broke the hot wave. Owing to the terrific thunderstorm prevalent the work of IdenUfication was extremely slow. I Oppressed by the extreme beat the ;boys had gone in bathing. When tho rain began to fall and it became evi­ dent a severe electrical storm was coming, they rushed to a shelter they had built on the pier. Willie Ander­ son, 12 years of age, was the only sur■vivor of the shock which followed a moment later. To the policeman he gave a bare idea of the horrible end­ ing to an hour’s sport, and then faint­ ed. He was carried to a nearby house where medical assistance was ren­ dered. The fatal stroke was the most pow­ erful seen here in years. The pier was demolished in a trice, giving the boys not the slightest chance to es­ cape. In age the victims ranged from 12 to 25 years.

Dun & O6.’s weekly review of trade says: It does nopTollow because bad bank Ing methods have caused one of the fcmaller New xork banks to close its doors, with attendant circumstances that create discussion in Wall street that general business is in any way affected by or at all responsible for the trouble. Reports from the coen- 1 try speak of a continued active move ment of merchandise with tho jobbing trade and embracing nearly all lines. The fiscal year closes with condi­ tions in the iron and coal industry in marked contrast to the situation at the corresponding date in 1900. Thia year difficulty is experienced in stopping machinery long enough to make neces­ sary repairs: prices are well main­ tained, while a successful season made it possible for many concerns to avoid controversy by voluntarily reducing hours or advancing wages, and evi­ dences of serious disagreement a>qthe exception. Railway facilities are inad­ equate to handle expanding traffic, and shops^re crowded with orders for new freight cars and’ other equipment. Footwear forwardings from Boston have: averaged over 100,000 cases weekly for two months, raising the total for the half year to 2,358,521 cases, according to weekly records of the’Shoe & Leather Reporter. Local manufacturers are running on shoit time or closed for stock taking. Stocks in dealers’ hands are light, which gives the market a strong tone. Leath­ er is active and firm, with hemlock sole In good export demand. Upper leather is selling freely, though not equalling the .activity in sole. Re­ ceipts of imported dry hides are light and '.prices well sustained, while slaughter hides at Chicago have made further advances and holders are in­ clined to wait for still better terms. Wheat prospects are further Im­ proved throughout*the entire produc­ ing region. Corn is supported by re­ ports of Injury, and receipts are less than half last year’s, but the export movement is equally unsatisfactory. Wheels at textile mills are no longer generally Idle. Improvement in all branches of this industry has. come with a rush and manufacturers are making up some earlier losses. The clothing trade is now seeking, men’s wear woolens and worsteds, and buy­ ers find stocks light. In knit goods jobbers are taking stock, after which activity is expected. Last week’s gain in cotton goods have been held and there Js more business than at any time this season. Failures for the week numbered 204 in the United States, against 207 last year, and 23 in Canada against 21 last year. SLEPT jDN DUTY. And Allowed His Comrades to be Sur­ prised and Arrested. Thacker,*^. Va„ July 1.—During the night Detective T. L. Felts, assist­ ed by John Justice, deputy United States marshal and a posse of six men, went to the Kentucky side of Tug river, captured the nine persons who are charged with terrorising the miners on the West Virginia side of the river for the ’past 10 days by shooting at all who could not give tbe proper strikers* sign as they passed and repassed along the railroad- They were brought to this place and held under a \heavy guard awaiting the train to take* them before a Kentucky judge, who remanded them to Judge Jackson at Parkersburg, this state. They were surprised in their sleep with their Winchesters under their pil­ lows and surrendered‘with but little resistance. Even their guard was cap­ tured asleep on duty. It is generally believed that this will break up the fighting end of the strikers’ troubles and that their differences will soon be compromised in a satisfactory way to all concerned. Charles Burke, president of the locan union of United Mineworkers of America, was arrested at noon yes­ terday by Deputy United States Mar­ shal Hufford and Detective Felts and taken to Parkersburg to appear before Judge Jackson on the chafge of tear­ ing down the notices of the Injunction granted by Judge Jackson. The nine strikers arrested in Kentucky were lodged In jail at Williamson last night to await the action of the Kentucky courts. ■ Noted South Dakotan Passes Away at Hls Home. Aberdeen, S; D., July 2.—Senator Kyle died at 6:05 o’clock last evening. St. Paul. July 2.—Senator Kyle was stricken at his home at Aberdeen about 10 days ago. His trouble was of malarial origin and resulted in a func­ tional affection of the heart, which caused the greatest alarm. A consul­ tation of physicians was held and his case soon took a turn for the better, the heart action growing stronger and the general condition much more en­ couraging.

Mich., June 29.—As a result of the inquest held at Disco In the cose of Fanner Charles Bliss’s death. It taiay be decided upon to make more arrests. The conduct of Bliss’s family has aroused a strong suspicion that when young Homer Bliss made his confession to Sheriff Cady and Prosecuting Attorney Kuhn that he had killed his father, he did not give a full statement of everything per­ taining to the death of the old man. In fact, it Is thought that, instead of killing his father on the impulse of the moment because of being In an angry mood, Homer Bliss committed the deed deliberately and In accord­ ance with **a plot which had been planned and talked -over by several persons for several weeks past. ’ It has been suspected all along that the whole .Bliss family knew more about the affair than they had made known, and the manner in which they acted yesterday rather tended to-con­ firm the suspicions. Mrs. Charles Bliss, wife ot the murdered man. did just about as she pleased when she was on the witness stand and finally deliberately withdrew from iQie stai-l and on the advice of ex-Judge Spier of Mt.

Including? Recessions since then, now numbers wet 5,000 pieces, representing 50 prov­ inces and the work of 003 different pot-tera. It Is said that the collection is hot only finer than any In the United States or Europe, but is not surpassed even in Japan. Its former owner and presenlTcurator. Professor Edward S. Morse of Sa­ lem, ifaas., first visited Japan about 25 years ago to occupy the chair of ec­ ology at the Imperial university, at To­ kyo. He took up the study of Japanese pottery as an avocation from his more serious employment, but for many years the pursuit and identification of rare and curious pieces of ware from remote corners in the old world and Japan have occupied a large portion of hls care and thought. In the course of which he has visited the little known ‘potteries of. out of the way provinces of the Flowery Kingdom and tbe shops of the great dealers of London or Paris, from every source gathering material for-the collection or information for the catalogue which Is now lssued< Professor Morse’s alm has been three­ fold—to collect the makes of all known potters, to Illustrate, tbe various peri­ ods of Japanese pottery and to form a collection of the various articles made in Japan by the potter’s art. It Is said In connection with this -last alm that only rhe Greeks used pottery in their dally life so extensively as the Japa­ nese. The making of pottery, more­ over, as the favorite and piost charac­ teristic Japanese art has tor hundreds of, years been followed In every corner of the empire by amateur and profes­ sional alike, so that the confusion of marks and wares has seemed' almost Inextricable. Professor Morse’s work, however, has done much to untangle soiue of the moat difficult knots. Every Japanese potter uses a special mark—sometimes more than one—to distinguish hls ware. The Morse col­ lection uotouly contains practically all the marks known to European and American collectors, but many hun­ dreds which none of these, possess. Among Its special treasures are most of the beautiful originals described In the standard Japanese work on pot­ tery by Nluegawu Norltane.. Other objects of equal' rarity and elegance abound, but no attention has been paid to wares manufactured solely for ex­ port to America dr Europe, in which the art of the potter has been purpose­ ly defaced, according to Japanese standards, to please the taste of west­ ern buyers. Nothing, that is, has been chosen that does not illustrate the un­ I Sophisticated native feeling for the original ideals of Japanese art, unlhflueuced by outside Influences. . .

THAT JOB IF PRINTINGS * ise to Return. BY HAYS BLACKMAN, ♦»»■»» » 04 f On tbe night after Captain Terrin had stopped at the fence 00 his way to the . fields A out Charlotte sat by tbe hearth Id the old kitchen. As always, her tboughte were in the past. For her the breere that blew through tbe open floor, damp and sweet, was heavy with the fragrance of the roses that bloom14 by the galleries ot tbe bl* bouse 30 years before. A nesro melody broke tbe stillness pt th. nl*bt. To the old woman the w..g came from tbe quarter, where ton* .*0 tha ths negroes «nncr sang nn on mimmpr summer nichtH nights like this, and the years rolled back to give her again master and mistress and the old care free, irresponsible, happy life. "!W*e gwine fix dis beak place up w’en Marse Cuuuel come home,” Aunt Char­ lotte mused. “Miss Dell say Marse Cunnel daid. She say be ata!t uevah gwine come back. Law! Miss Dell ain’t kusw my ole marster. ’Miss Dell,’ I say. ‘my Marse Cunnel nevah bruk he wml ylt He done ’low he gwine come back, an he comta.’ Moughty'^E time hit tek ’Im. Spec**he done chase dem Yankees dat fur norf dat hit tuk ’ini all dis time-to git back. But he sho* gwine come.’ I spec’ ’im erlong enny time. Law, law, ’twouldn’t ’sprfee me none to see Marse Cunnel walk in dat are do* dis bevy mlnnlt”— In her eagerness she turned to the open door. The words died on her lips. Her jaw dropped, and her face grew gray with fear. . . A man stood in tbe doorway. Be­ hind him the darkness made a frame for his figure, and the fire that flickered oh the hearth—kindled there to light tbe room—showed his ragged clothing, glinted on tbe tangled white hair that covered his head and the white beard that hung unkempt on his breast. His eyes looked out hungrily from beneath shaggy brows. He took a .step Into the room. Aunt Charlotte rose to her feet. "Is it you, Charlotte?” the stranger said. "~*‘Charlotte, where Is my wife? ■Where Is tbe home? tVhere is your little Marse John? I left them In your care.” The old woman gave one cry of hap­ piness. "Marse Cunnel.” she cried, “my mar­ ster' Bress Gawd dat you come home. Whut dey do to you. ole marse, dat you look dat ole an po’?" “I want my wife and child,” tbe man repeated sharply. Tt® old woman knelt nt his feet, “Marse Cunnel, dey bofe gone dese many yeahs,” she said, her tears be­ ginning to fall. “Gone,” be said after her—“both gone?" “I done de bes’ I could, Marse Cnnnel,” she begged. “Gawd knows dat I kep’ dat trus’ de bes’ I could. [l kep’ de grnlies monghty nice an green, sub.’’ ’"■‘The graves!” this wreck of her old master shouted. “Dead! Margaret dead! My God!" He pushed away Aunt Charlotte’s de­ taining hands and rushed out Into the night “Ltwd,'’ Aunt Charlotte whispered, kneeling with upraised hands where her master had left her, “you know dat I done filled dat ’spons’billty de bes* dat I knowed bow. O Lnwd, you know bow ;I wuk- with dem grabos nri .cut de grass ^nd fotch de water an kep’ um green. 'Misg Ma’gret, Miss Ma’gret. I'se die an lonesome. De ’spous'bility Is ober. Ax Gawd to leinme cotno erlong wld you an 1IT Marse John.” . They found the colonel next mornlpg lying among the faded roses on his wife’s grave. And in the old kitchen, on tbe bed where Miss Margaret had died. Aunt Charlotte lay, her responsi­ bility over, the years of her trust ful­ filled. Three days later, when tbe keepers of a northern insane asylum came tp Riv­ erview ta search of an escaped patient who had been an inmate of the Institu­ tion for more than 30 years, and who had never been able to tell them where ■was hia home and who were his friends, they found two new graves in the pint behind the rail fence. Master and mistress aud faithful servant were united.—St. Louis Repub­ lic. . Beyond tbe neglected shrubbery, the blackened timbers and the crumbling heap of bricks that marked the place where the big house of the plantation had stood before the war was a small inclosure surrounded by a rail fence. In the plat were two graves—those of a grown person and a little child. Without the rail fence nature had done her best, hiding the scars of war under a tangle of wild honeysuckle that wrapped the vines of the old man­ sion Id a caressing greenery. But within the Inclosuro there waa evidence that nature had a helper in her ministry. Tbe plantation kitchen was a brick building that stood just back of the ruins of tbe house. From the door the frequent passage of feet had worn a path through the buffalo grass to the rail fence and the top rail of tbe panel of fence to which the path fttd was smooth aud sagging where au old negress had climbed over It every day for many years. She stood this morning in the little burying ground. She had been clipping the grass In the Inclosure and tbe graves were cove rd with roses—white roses of the old fashioned' “thousand leaved” variety that grow in old gar­ dens. The old woman bad brought them from the garden at Captain Ter­ rill’s, where Captain Terrill’s wife, tlie new mistress of the plantation, gave her flowers for the graves or prorislons for her larder with a beautlfal impartiality. Captain Terrill, riding down the levae road to tbe field, saw the pathetic fig­ ure by tbe graves and drew rein at tl® fence. “Howdy, Aunt Charlotte?” he called. “Your graves look mighty nice this morntag.” x Tbe old woman straightened her bent back. ■ * "How you come on, Mist’ Joe?” she inquired. "You lookin peart I’se jlst tollable; thanky, suh. Yes, sub, de grabes moughty fine. Miss Dell glh me de roses fo’ Miss MR’gret’s grabe dis mawnln. Miss Dell monghty goofl to me. Mtat’ Joe." The young owner of the plantation smiled .and nodded as he touched bay Selim with the whip. “That’s all right Aunt Charlotte,!* he called over his shoulder. “You go to your Miss Dell' for anything yon need.” Aunt Charlotte watched him ont of sight beyond the bend In the levee road. She sighed as she turned back to tbe graves. * “Miss Dell moughty good," she saldt itooping tq touch a flowenon Miss Mar­ garet’s grave. "She moughty good, but her an Mist’ Joe ain’t my own folkses." A tear rolled down her withered cheek and fell among tbe roses. "Miss Ma’gret” she whispered, “Tse lonesome, Mtas Ma’gret Cyan’t you ax de good Lord to sen’ Marse Cunnel home an tek po* ole Charlotte long er you an 111’ Marse John?” One June morning, just after the des­ perate struggle to rend the Union asun* der began. Colonel Murray rode away from Riverview to join the Confederate forces. From the door of the big bouse Miss Margaret watched him, and Char­ lotte held1 the colonel’s little son up in her .arms that ho might watch the erect figure on the big horse out of sight be­ yond the bend in the levee road* « Mark Twain once need a successful “Charlotte,” Colonel Murray had said, “I know you are faithful.

U the £ (J effK,m) * * * then The treatment Is best applied at time of shearing, a^then the dipping solu‘tlon must readily reaches tbe insects and can be applied with greatest econ­ omy. Wool dipped from inte?ted sheep should be stored far enough away from the pens to make sure that no insects can porelbly find their way Vack to the sheep. It ta also safer to turn tbe dip­ ped sheep into a new inclosure and not place them ta the pens they occupied before tbe treatment for at least a week or ten days, long edough so that any insects that have been secreted In litter, cracks or posts or other retreats will have died. For dipping there are a number of valuable solutions. Some of the prep­ arations on the market are doubtless excellent though more expensive th*nj when prepared from Ingredients pur­ chased at commercial prices. Kerosene emulsion made by boiling one-half pound hard soap Id one gallon water, adding this to two gallons kerosene and churnlrg for eight or ten minutes till thoroughly emulsified 2nd diluting with eight times its quantity of water, makes an effective dip. This would give 24 gallons of mixture. About 50 gallons Is said to be sufficient for 50 sheep and 75 gallons for 100 sheep. This Is considered perfectly safe to sheep and wool. The tobacco dips, xenners zenoleum aud the carbolic acid dip are also considered valuable. RAPE FOR BROOD SOWS. Ln eq axled ■■ a Sueenleht Food—Good My experience with Dwarf Essex rape Inst year may be. of Interest to some of your readers residing In this state, writes C. B. Jones of Minnesota In Prairie Fanner. I selected a rather low piece bf meadow laud, composed of timothy sod. plowed It about six Inches deep, then harrowed It until I had it fine enough for an onion bed and so It would retain the moisture, as the first of the season was very dry and hot I sowed the rape seed In drills, about two feet apart, at the rate of about 2^ pounds to the acre, using tbe Dwarf Essex seed. I think tbe drill should be from 2|4 to 3 feet apart. The better the land the wider the space should be between thejlriUs, as rape, like most other plants, grows more rank on heavy soils than on thin. • • As I stated In tbe beginning of this article, tbe soil was dry when I sowed the seed. I put It In about an Inch deep, then rolled >1 until it was firm. The seed, which resembles ruta bnga seed, came up .In a few days, tbe young plants resembling ruta bagas very uiuch, but I never saw ruta bagas or any other plants make such a growth. After the rains came it grew about 2’4 feet high and covered the space between tbe drills completely. 1 commenced feed­ ing It as soon as it was a foot high and fed It until Oct 20, principally to bogs which I had in a lot near by. They ate It greedily and made a rap­ id growth. I also fed some to the milk cows in tbe fall, but they dkl not seem to relish It as tbe bogs did. owing pos­ sibly to tbe abundance of other green feed at that time. I do not tbluk It a desirable forage for milk cows, as It Imparts to the milk that undesirable flavor that turnip tops give It I have never found Its equal as a succulent food for brood sows and growing pigs. It la necessary to keep tbe ground well cultivated between the drills until tbe plants are a foot or more high. Sorrhnm ■■ Fodder.

A person who knows how to walk in­ telligently can get along witboat a gymnasium. No other form of exercise brings so many.muscles Into play and develops them so normally. The most popular games are those In which walking forms a prominent part Golf, croquet and Id a sense cricket and even bicycling merely give an excuse for walkings . Every one knows how to walk prop­ erly. It Is because of carelessness that so many walk badly. The body should Im? carried erect tbe chest well out, tbe head back, while the arms should swing freely at the sides. Tbe pace should be regulated to one’s strength. Every one should walk fast enough and far enough to get the body in a comfortable glow. To get the best re­ sults from walking one should give his undivided attention to It In other words, he should wal^ for tbe pleasure of It and not carry worries with him. Excessive walking Is injurious. Nev­ er walk just after a heavy meal or aftter violent exercise. And after a walk It Is well to rest for 10 or 15 minutes before taking up severe mental work. One of the editors who read the man­ uscript of Henry Tbew Stephenson’s “Patroon Van Volkenberg” thought that the author might be a good man to know. Accordingly he wrote a pleasant personal letter.

A orktown isn’t the most accessible place in the world to reach, either by boat dr rail, it iB‘ located on the high, bluffy shore of the York river and from a military point of view, doubtless was an excellent place to fortify. The land surrounding it is rolling and hilly, and the banks of th© York, in places, are high, and almost straight up and down. As 1 said, it is not a very easy place to reach. Boat service on the river is about as uncertain as the kind of hotel service one will get after reaching there; and indeed I couldn’t find any one who could give me any information about it. 1 he nearest I came to it was an in­ quiry as to whether a certain line of boats went to Yorktown, and received the reply “Yes sah; but they don’t stop there.” However as we didn’t have our bathing suits with us, and had a few grips to carry, we didn’t relish the idea of swimming to shore, so gave up the idea cf a water trip to this historic place. Probably the best, at least the moet satisfactory, way to reach York­ town, is to. go to Williamsburg and drive across-a distance of 12 miles. A telephone line connects the two places, and the hotel clerk at Williams­ burg kindly volunteered to complete all arrangements'for a good breakfast for us at Yorktown by telephone the evening before. Securing a nice double rig—in’ marked contrast to the one in which we rode from the depot - we left Williamsburg for Yorktown about five o'clock Ip the morning. The ride was delightful, lhe air cool and invigorat­ ing and the road side almost lined with flowers, the most yf them being Scotch Bloom, a peculiar yellow flower said to have been brought over in Revolution­ ary times by Scottish soldiers* The route traversed by us is said to be prac­ tically the same one taken by Colonial tropps during the war. 'Bhere is noth­ ing of any particular interefit on the way between the two places,, but the drive is certainly a pleasant one early in the morning before the sun gets to doing business real hard. For a mile or two before reaching Yorktown old earthworks begin to beseen and extend­ ing in nearly every direction, though many of them were constructed during the Rebellion, when McClellan’s forces were operating in this section. We reached Yorktown shortly after seven o’clock ’ in the moniing anti stopped at the same small hotel that Washington did. We hope that the •Father of'll is Country” was never as disappointed over his break fast" here as we were. The proprietor had re­ ceived the telephone message all right, but exercising the same deliberate conduct, pecuMftr to the south, that re­ gards a seven o'clock appointment as executed if it is carried out-anywhere between seven"o’clock one morning and seven o’clock the next, he was totally unprepared for us and the meal that we had waa certainly a dyspepsia pre­ motor. I am pure that if Cornwallis had some of the butter, that was set before us, to h^ve mixed with his fortifications it wou!4 have rendered them so strong that Washington’s guns would have had no effect whatever and cannon balls would have glanced off like \vater from a duck’s back. There is scarcely anything left of Yorktown and the inhabitants prob­ ably wouldn’t exceed 100 in number. About all of the buildings that are there were in colonial times and most of them haven’t been kept in re­ pair. It is a dingy old place many of the people making their living by fish­ ing on the York river. On the opposite side of the street First Customs-House. (’oruwallH’ . church where it is d that both Waahington and C s worshipped. In the walls of the olq building are holes made by cannon during the siege. At the rear of the •church is an old din: ner bell Sup ported by a shaky Old Church. foundation that is used to call worshippers to­ gether and in the church yard are many old graves dating back into the 18th century. Yorktown is one of the most promin­ ent battlefields in the country and really marks the closing of the Revolu­ tionary war. A beautiful monument has been erected to commemorate the event on, a commanding site near the town. From the j»eaceful stillness and the sublime quiet that sur^ o u n d s this famous field, The Monument. one wouliUlittle dream that it was once the sSne of .activity, and noth­ ing blit the remaining earthworks tell of its military glory. While we were there several cows were com­ placently browsing near the rickety picket fence that surrounds the monu­ ment, and ••coons” were industriously planting peanuts and water melons in the field where it is said the surrender actually took place, all of which tended to detract from the'consecrated gpot, and roo it of that sacred feeling that one has when'making a visit to Mount Vernon, where everything has been left as Washington left it, or as near so as possible. The government should own the battlefield of Yorktown and con­ vert it into a park, as it really marks the event that gave lis independence. Many of lhe varthwortes of Revolu­ tionary limes have been tom down and nothing but southern lack of enter­ prise has protected the others. Not the least interesting pf the places at Yorktown to visit is the hoiuje in which the terms of surrender were drawn up between Washington and Cornwallis.* The original letter, written by Cornwallis, asking for terms of surrender is in the museum at Rich­ mond. This house has, like many oth- House In Which Tersm Were Drawn up, erq/ at historic southern places, been transformed into a museum, and con­ tains many interesting relics. In the big brick chimney, leading up from the old open oven, or fire place, is a cannon ball fired during the Revolution. To anyone visiting the south a few ho.nrs spent at Yorktown will be most pleas­ ant and enjoyable. W. R. Cook. , Advertised Letters. Habtisob, Michigan, July. 15, 1901.

THE ENDOWMENT RANK TEACHERS’ INSTITUTE. To Be Held in City July 29 to Au­ gust 9. The Superintendent of Public In­ struction has appointed the regular Teachers’ Institute for Barry County to be held at the High school room in the city of Hastings commencing July 29 and closing Aug. 9. The following named gentlemen have been designated to have charge of the work of the institnte: Supt. C..L. Bemis, of Ionia, conductor; Supt C. G. Wade, of Bellev.ue, and Prin. E. J. Edger of the Hastings High school, instructors. These gentlemen are too well known as suecessful institute workers and practical school men to require extended mentidn. Suffice it to say that they can be depended upon to “act wgli their part” in making the institute both pleasant and profitable to all who attend; The character of the work will be such that all who attend will be benefitted. For those who desire review work in preparation for the coming examination there will be organized classes in all the branches required for the different grades of certificate. For those who wish to perfect themselves in the art of teaching there will be given many useful plans and methods evolved from the long experience of those who are to have charge of the institute. Regular class room recita­ tions will be conducted upon assigned work which the teachers are expected' to prepare as in ordinary school work. 'In addition to the academic and pro­ fessional work many features of the plan of work for the coming school year in Barry county will be discussed and outlined by the commissioner. It is indeed very desirable that the school work of the county should be unified and systemmatized. The summer in­ stitute gives the best opportunity for the commissioner to meet his teachers and talk over these matters in prepara­ tion for the new school year. That this feature of the institute shall be beneficial to all the schools of the coun­ ty every teacher is expected to be pres­ ent during the institute and take an active part therein. This is an age of wonderful pro­ gression in all lines of human endeavor. We of the teaching profession must keep well to the front Every means of improvement and advancement must be utilized. District officers are calling for better'teachers and are will­ ing to pay good *ages to those who are progressive. Our institutes give unusual opportunities for teachers to mingle with the beet of the profession and receive that inspiration and infor­ mation that comes only from associa­ tion. Jeaehere, Jet ue make the Lnetitote of 1901 one of tbe beet in the Hat of tte We mentioned last week the proceed- j ings of the Supreme Lodge, K. of I which met in Chicago to consider th* financial affairs of the EfidowmeM Rank, the insurance branch oT the or­ der. ■ President Hinsey was called before the Supreme lodge, and was given a chance to explain the serious chargen ■ 1 against him for his alleged crooked I : transaction in handling the Rank’ll money. -His explanation failed to sat- j isfy.

A Handsome Brunette Ties Up to an Aged Millionaire; AT MICHIGAN’S GRETNA GREEN The Wedding of the Well-Known Mil­ lionaire W;«s Not Out of the Or­ dinary Run of Quick Marriagea at St Joseph. St Joseph, Mich., July 45-—During fhe past few days speculation has been rife concerning the secret and mysterious marriage of James A. King, the aged millionaire of Pasa­ dena, Cal., and Miss Maude A. Robin­ son of Marrison. HL. who are now spending their honeymoon at the Vic­ toria hotel in Chicago, and concerning .whose wedding thelriends of th^mlllionaire have interested themselves. Thus far it Has been kept a secret. It now transpires that they were married at St Joseph last Thursday morning. This information has leaked from tbe county clerk's office, although Mr. King had enjoined the employes of the office to keep silence. * The wedding of the well known mil­ lionaire was not out of the ordinary run of quick marriages here. He and his youthful bride went through the marriage mill witn little ostentation. They arrived on the morning boat from Chicago, with "other couples of less distinction, and put up at the Ho­ tel Whitcomb for breakfast Mr. King demanded a Scottish minister and Dr. Thomas McRoberts responded to a tel­ ephone call. He also demanded a Scotch coachman and James Cutchbertson was procured. The ceremony was simple, taking but a few minutes. Miss Robinson is a handsome bru­ nette, 26 years of age, and was in striking contrast to the bridegroom. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. King drove through the country until boat time, when they returned. Both ex­ pressed themselves as being pleased with the methods of marrying people at St. Joseph. There is said to bo a romance connected with the marriage. Mr. King has been a suitor for tbe young lady’s hand for several years. He is heavily interested in business in Chicago and Is saio to be worth $20,u00,000. Destroyed by Fire.

Labor troubles are In process ot settlement and speculators have been responsible for most ot the' unrest which has been reflected In the mar. kets.

Improvement is general In the foot­ wear industry, although no higher prices can be expected.

Tbe little Ranger ran slowly between tbe frowning French frigates, looking aa warlike as they. Her men swarmed like bees into the rigging, and her col­ ors ran up to salute the flag of his most Christian majesty of France, and she fired one by one her salute of 13 guns, says Sarah Oroe Jewett tn Tbe Atlan­ tic. There was a moment of suspense. Tbe wind was very light now. The powder smoke drifted sway, and tbe flapping sails sounded loud overhead. Would the admiral answer back or would be treat this bold challenge like a handkerchief waved at him from a pleasure boat? Some of tbe officers on the Ranger looked incredulous, but Paul Jones still held his letter in his hand. There was a puff of white smoke, and the great guns of the French flagship began to shake tire air —one, two, three, four, five, six. seven, eight, nine—and then were still save /or their echoes from tbe low bills about Carnac and tbe great Druid Mount of St. Michael. "Henry Gardner,, you may tell the men that this was the salute ‘ ‘ of the ' king of France to our republic and the first high honor to our flag," said the captain proudly to his steersman, but they were nil huzzaing now along tbe Ringer's decks, that little ship whose name shall never be forgotten while her country lives.

Next week we will probably be able to give more information in re­ gard to the program. The postmaster general yesterday signed three orders, which it is claimed will result in a saving of more than 810,000,000 annually to the government, change the usual annual postal deficit into a surplus, and result in far greater extension of rural free mail delivery and possibly in penny postage later on. The three orders exclude from the ben­ efits of second class (newspaper) rates, hundreds of tons of mere advertising circulars, which were sentout not to pud subscribers, bu^ratuitoasly or at such nominal rates d make it evident that the publications had no subscrip­ tion value.

And that all Screens Must be Re« moved to Allow Unobstructed View of Interior. Last week we announced that theSupreme Court had sustained Judge Smith in ____ ______ a liquor caae,, appealed from Battle Creek, and we herewith giv$ the opinion of that honorable body, writ­ ten by Judge Moore. The circumstances are as follows: The proprietor of the Williams House, of Battle Creek, conducted a saloon in an interior room of the hotel. He was ar­ rested and convicted under an informa­ tion charging him with failing to re m?Ve ’th6 “curtAin8, screens, and other things^ that obstruct the view from the sidewalk, street and alley in front and at the side of the building where his bar is located, and also charging that if al! the curtains and screens were remov­ ed the bar was so located that it could not be seen from any public street or alley in front of, or at the side of, said building. Attorneys for the hotel proprietor ad­ mitted that the saloon could not be seen from a public street or alley, and contended that the law does not require that it should be so seen. Further they contended that the law meant that if a saloon was on a public street or alley the screens, curtains, etc., should be re­ moved, but that if it was 4tot on a pub­ lic street or alley this was not demand­ ed or required. They further contend­ ed that the law not retjuiring a saloon to l>e on a public street or alley, the au­ thorities had taken the saloonist’s moneo, and approved his bond,' knowing where the saloon would be located, consequently he could not be guilty of the offense. Under the license given this saloonist, no particular room in the Williams house was specified, ami his attorney contended that as the au­ thorities had taken his money au^given him his license he could have legal­ ly sold liquor in any .room tn the Wil­ liams bouse. To sustain their con­ tentions various decisions were referred to. In rendering its decision the Supreme Court said: These provisions of law are very dif­ ferent indeed from the provisions of the Michigan statute. If one desiring to engage in the sale of intoxicating liquors in this state, tenders to the county treasurer the tax imposed upon the business and a proper bond, the county treasurer has no discretion, but must issue the tax receipt. He has nothing to do with deciding in what place the business shall be conducted, lie has no discretion to say where the business shall lie conducted-or to pass upon the fitness of (he (tersons who pro­ pose to engage in it.) All those things are provided for in the statute, aucLthe statutory provisions must be observed. The tax receipt in this instance au­ thorizes the business to be carried on at the Williams House at Battle Creek. There were plenty of places in that building where the business could have been carried on, so that the proprietor of it could have complied with-the pro­ visions of the iaw. If there was no such place then the business should not have been engaged in. The language of the statute is not ambiguous; it reads as follows: “During the time when, by the provi­ sion of this act. places where liquor is sold or kept for sale, must be closed, all curtains, screens, partitions and other things that obstruct the view from the sidewalk, street, alley or road in front of, or at the side or end of said building, or the bar, or place in said room where said liquors are sold or kept for sale, shall be removed.” C. L. 5409. It was at one time urged this statute was unconstitutional. This court held otherwise. Prosecuting At­ torney vs. Police Justice, 71 Mich. 38. It was said in that case the right to construct a building without window’s or with stained windows or with cur­ tained windows is one of the uses the owner has a right to make of his prop­ erty. but the court was of a different opinion. Id. the opinion of Justice Long It is said: “The business of sell­ ing intoxicating liquors is one which the legislature have an undoubted right to regulate or prohibit and they have therefore the power to impose such conditions and restrictions upon the sale as iu their judgment may seem wise, where such restrictions are ap­ plied to all alike or to the same class alike. It is within the power of the legislative branch of the state govern­ ment, and is a part of the police regula­ tions, such as the state may make in respect to the sale of intoxicating li­ quors for the prevention of intemper­ ance, pauperism and crime. It is not for the courts to determine its expedi­ ency, or as said by Mr. Cooley in his work on Constitutional Limitations: “To run a race of right, reason and expediency with the legislative branch of the state government.” If the legis­ lature may altogether prohibit the li­ quor traffic, they may make such con­ ditions if it is permitted to be contin­ ued. and place its sale under such re­ strictions as will make it easy to de­ tect any violations of law. * • • -The business of selling intoxicating.li­ quors hat for many want, both ta tnlj count by I^WHurw xn° courts wits dtofivor; xnd it do« not xtaad upwi the( same plane of utility and morality with many useful arte, trades and profee♦lons* is necessary to the public peace that saloons shall be kept closed Sundays and holidays, and at late hours at night. Under this pro­ vision it is easy-for an officer or other person to determine whether a saloon is open contrary to law. This section of the act must be held valid.” In the same case Justice Campbell said: “I think it competent for the leg­ islature in regulating the liquor traffic to adopt regulations conducing to the full publicity of sales, and to require places of sale not to be shut out from view by putting up blinds.and screens or other tilings intended to obstruct the view of the tranactions which may go on at any hour In the salesrooms.” In People vs. Kennedy, 105 Id. 79, it is said: “The object of the law is that the officers of a town, and not only that, but that every person in town, it is tbs privilege of every man or woman in town passing along any street, side­ walk or alley where they have a right to be, that they shall have an unob­ scured and unobstructed view into a saloon through the windows if there are windows, so as to see whether the business is being carried on according to law. This is the object of it,” It is competent for the legislature to surround -the sale of intoxicating li­ quors with such limitations as are cal­ culated in its judgment to minimize the evils of the traffic, and to make it easy to observe any failure to refrain nom selling during prohibited times. The acts of the respondent are within net only the spirit but the letter ot the law. The conviction is affirmed. The case is remanded with directions to the cir­ cuit judge to proceed to judgment. The other justices concurred. WHOLE NO. 2390 A COMMUNICATION CONCERNING THE THORNAPPLE LAKE DRAIN. The W riter Takes the Position That No One’s Interest will be Damaged. Editor of the Banner will you kind­ ly permit us through the columns of your valuable paper to reply to a lengthy article entitled the “Proposed Lowering of Thomapple Lake,” which appeared in the last issue of the Has­ tings Journal, and which was doubtless inspired by others. The author of the article tries to jus­ tify his attack upon the action of our farmers by the following statement: “When the action of any man or set of men threatens the welfare of the com.munity, attention • should be called to the danger and the public warned” and then the author proceeds to try to.prove on mere theoretical presumptions that our proposed action is endangering the lives, property and the welfare of the people of Hastings. The author claims that Thornapple lake is the source of water supply for Hastings and that said lake rests on a stratum of Parma sandstone and that said sandstone ex­ tends down to the city of Hastings and upon this stratum a subterranean water current Hows from under Thornapple lake down to the city of Hastings to supply the wells at that place.

Kills a Woman and Drives a Man Insane THE CROPS NEED RAIN BADLY The Excessive Heat of the Past Week Reached a Climax at the Lower Lake Michigan Pleasure Resorts and Vicinity. St. Joseph, MIcK, July 22.—One death and a serious case ol prostration resulted Bunday from the heat. The death was that of Mrs. F. M. Cornwall of Chicago, wife of the western sales­ man for the xUngiand Paper Co. She had been resorting for the last few weeks at McEwan’s, two miles from this city, on the St Joseph river. While sitting in a swing, reading, she suddenly fell to the ground In a swoon. By the time help reached her she was quite dead. Doctors pro­ nounced death from heart failure, hastened by heat prostration. At noon Frank Furlong, a young re­ sorter of rtashville, Tenn., was over­ come by heat and driven temporarily insane. He was very violent and threw off five men who attempted to hold him in his room in the Hotel Brandon. He tried to throw himself from a window but was finally quiet­ ed. La?t evening he was much better, although the doctors still xwere in doubt as to his recovery. ' The thermometer registered 102 in the shade and 120 in the sun at 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Three Rivers. Mich.. July 22.—The excessive heat of the past week reached a climax yesterday. The mer­ cury ranging to 104 degrees several days in succession, was raised to 107, accompanied by burning winds. No relief Is in sight and everything is burning up.

Mich., July 22.—The receiver of the defunct First National bank of Niles has begun suit in the United States court at Grand Rapids to com­ pel Charles a. Johnson, the cashier whd wrecked the bank, and W. K. Lacey to pay the assessment oh their bank stock. Some months ago the comptroller assessed stockholders 100 per cent of their holdings. The re­ ceiver says that more than half the stockholders have paid up. This means that over >50,000 has been recovered and >75,000 will be recovered from this source,' and this, together with the oapltal stock of >25.000, will wipe out the shortage of >190,000, besides paying the cost .of winding up the bank's affairs. The depositors’ chances of receiving 100 cents on the dollar are bright Hudson Church Dedicated. \ Hudson,. Mich., July 22.—The new Methodist Episcopal church here, which has cost the Methodist society >22,000, was dedicated Sunday and the services were the event of the season in Hudson church circles.

The trouble grows out of a boycott of the Morton Special Deliv­ ery Co., a non-union concern, by the San Francisco labor council, and the design of the Draymen’s association is to compel the union men to do hauling for the non union company. About 1.­ 500 union teamsters have been notified by their employers that they must either obey or lose their places. A sympathetic strike ot the porters, packers and warehousemen employed along shore, and others whose duties bring them In contact with the team­ sters and draymen, is expected.

WTTROIT, - • MICHIGAN. Hastings City Bank, Hastings, Michigan. ’tlxecrporsted under the laws of the State of by Champ dart.) I regarded Senator J. P. DoUlver of Iowa as the crack orator of the house when he was a member of the popular body. I use the much abused term “orator" in Its proper etymological sense. He was not so logical as Bailey or Littlefield or so humor­ ous as Private John Allen or so witty as Otey or so learned as Van­ diver or McCalL I doubt If he could hold his own in a catcb-as-cateh-canthe-devil-take-tbe-hlndmost debate with General Grosvenor or Carmack of Tennessee, but as an orator, pure and simple, in my judgment, he exceeds them all. He is a large, handsome man, of the brunette style of beauty, in the flower of his years and in the prime of his splendid powers. He is liberal in his views, possessed of imuch bon­ homie and a delightful companion, as 1 know by both observation and experi­ ence. He enjoys life with the keen zest of a schoolboy. Not the smallest of his many accomplishments is that of being a capital story teUer. X Asher Caruth, who for many years represented the Loaisville district In congress, Is a jolly good fellow who Rees the ridiculous side of things and who delights to put his oratorical friends in a hole. Caruth’* Untimely Question. On one occasion members were relat­ ing their speecbmaking and debating experiences tn the cloakroom. Dol­ liver said: “Among the first elaborate set speeches which I made in the bouse was one on the tariff. As I was new at the business, I had taken particular pains to fix it up in the best manner possible. 1 had written and rewritten it, boiled it down, polished It up and committed it to memory. There was one passage with which 1 was particu­ larly pleased. As an argument In fa­ vor of the tariff as a generator of prosperity I drew as graphic a picture as I could of how foreign bora citizens of Iowa would come into my law office at Fort Dodge, employ me to write letters to the old folks across the sea, I Inclosing mone£ to promote their com­ fort and happiness, and bow, while engaged in this kindly duty, tears would roll down their cheeks. Just as I was in the midst of what 1 deemed my most eloquent, thrilling and pa­ thetic passage Caruth arose and said: " ‘Mr. Speaker, what did I understand the gentleman from Iowa to say those people were crying about?* ■ “The bouse caught on instantly and spoiled my peroration entirely. It has not been delivered until this day.” Caruth and Qulgg. Dolliver Is not the only man whose oratory was knocked to pieces by the genial Kentuckian. There are others, among them Lemuel Eli Qulgg of New York. One day, when the Wilson-Gorman tariff bill was under discussion, Qulgg was lauding the Republicans to the skies. Inter alia, be said: “The Republicans rode Into the lists all booted and spurred, like the Roman gladiators." What else be had In bls mind to say in that particular vein I will never be known. Whatever it was he did not say it, for Caruth arose gravely to a question of Information and said: “I would like for my friend from New York to state when and where any Roman gladiator ever appeared booted and spurred. If such a thing ever happened, it has escajjed my at­ tention.” The house roared till it was red In the face, and Qulgg mustered his “boot­ ed and spurred gladiators" out of the service. I Dolliver has, in common with all great orators, considerable poetry In his soul. In March, 1900, he and I gave a joint lecture on imperialism at Dunkirk, N. Y. We went via Pittsburg and traveled a large part of a day up the valley of the Mononghahela river, his native heath.

Towne on Sliver. All have heard of W. S. Stratton, the The Hon. Chas. A.

But he did not propose to It was in that same famous speech that which is expected to result from the rest on his laurels, or be content with postmaster general’s recent orders will Mr. Towne said with great emphasis 815,000,000.

A decision is soon expected, and it is confidently predicted that all mail carriers will be prohibited from soliciting business of any kind hereafter. While thoroughly believing in the principle of protection to American industries, without which many in­ stitutions, if not the great majority of them could not compete with the pau­ per paid labor of Europe, yet we be­ lieve this protection should be with­ drawn just the very moment that American products can successfully compete with foreign made goods. As long as the billion dollar steel trust for example, is able to undersell for­ eign competitors, it seems an injustice that it should be protected by law to allow it to sell its goods at a larger price here. As fast as home manu­ facturers are able to meet, and even undersell foreign competitors, why not place them on the free list?

Nelson Boody, of Eaton Rapids re; cently became tired of life, and jumped from the railroad bridge into the waters beneath, but he no soonec got wet all over than he commenced to get over being tired, and clambered for the shore. ' Afterwards he waded out In a pond and tried to drown himself by holding his head under water, but ’ couldn’t succeed. Later he was taken to Kalamazoo asylum. Antonio Radnaugh, a Polock, Jiving near Allegan met with a terrible acci­ dent last week while threshing. He slipped and fell into the rapidly revolv­ ing cylinder, fearfully mutilating his left limb so that his leg had to be am­ putated at the knee. He had to lie on the feed board for 25 minutes while the machine was being taken apart to release him. Luckily he had on a pair of shoes and when the shoe went into the cylinder it threw the belt off or he would have been ground to pieces. He will live. A dispatch from Indianapolis says: “Indiana today agreed to turn over to Michigan W. F. Williams, now under arrest at Whiting, Ind. He is accused of swindling George N. Baldwin, of Leonidas, Mich. Williams, it is said, told Baldwin be had a process for mak­ ing 100 pounds of butter out of 100 pounds of milk. Baldwin bought the Michigan rights of this wonderful secret process for 85,000 in cash and notes and now finds that he was swindled. Williams called it a “short hand process of butter-making,” and told the Leonidas man he had already made 81,000,000 out of the patent. The affidavit against Williams charges obtaining money under false pretenses. On the grounds of the Fan-American Exposition is a reproduction of a type of farm house common in thq early days of the west. It is built of sods from the prairies of Nebraska—three car-loads, each piece three feet long, two feet wide, one foot thick. It is a small, low structure, ’ with a wide veranda across the front It has three small windows. The inner walls are covered with a natural alkaline clay. A low roof of timbers and boards is covered with sod. A rough board floor is covered with a rag carpet, though in the West the dry hard earth renders that unnecessary. A few rude pieces of furniture furnish the interior. The bouse was built by A. B. Mornson, who cut the sod in Elkhorn Valley, and . it i«* in charge of his sister-in-law, Mrs. L. Bowser, who cared for a similiar construction at tbe Omaha exposition. She has been asked to have a sod house at the Charleston exposition. * Mr. Daniel Bantz, Otterville^ la.', says: “Have had asthma and a very bad cough for years, but could get no relief from the doctors and medicines I tried until I took Foley’s Honey and Tar.

L«imod Th.t a Meeting of the Executive Board of the Amalgamated Association Hag Been Called For Tuesday. Pittsburg, Pa., July 29.—The strike of the steel and tin workers of the Amalgamated association against the United States Steel Corporation will probably be settled this week. The conference held in New York Satur­ day between the officials of the corpo­ ration and President T. J. Shaffer and Secretary John Williams of the work­ ers’ organization has resulted In pav­ ing the way for renewal of negotia­ tions between the two conflicting in­ terests. It is said that a basis for such a conference haa been arrived at This basis is still locked up in the minds of the officials of the two or­ ganizations and will not be divulged until later thik week. If the basis is satisfactory to the general executive committee of the association the con­ ference between the association and the manufacturers will proceed at once. If, on the other hand, the basis is not what the Amalgamated associa­ tion will permit to be considered as negotiable grounds, the strike will be continued with the same vigor as at present and with indefinite time for its ending. President Shaffer and Secretary Williams of the Amalgamated ^associ­ ation have returned from New York. They left the metropolis Saturday night after an eventful day. They had spent many hours in conference with the leading officials of the steel trust, had evaded all of the New York re­ porters and came home with hopes for an early ending of the present contest that is being forced so determinedly by both sides. In Pittsburg little was known of the conference, but the greatest interest in the outcome was shown. Vice-President Bope of the Carnegie Steel Co. said he had heard absolutely nothing of the results and did not know that the conference was on. I. W. Jenks, general manager of the American Steel Hoop Co. and President Cooper of the same com­ pany were equally in the dark. Secretary Williams was found at his home last evening. He was courteous and promptly admitted that he had' been with President Shaffer in New York and had seen J. P. Morgan, but as to what had taken place there, he said with firmness, that he was pledged to secrecy and could not talk. If there was anything to be given out It would have to come from President Shaffer, but he was positive President Shaffer would not be at liberty to talk for some days yeL When asked if he regarded the situation hopeful for a settlement, he declined to even offer an opinion. He was also asked if the terms as printed in the papers Sun­ day, which covered the settlement of the strike, were correct, he replied that they were purely guess work. No terms could possibly have been made without the full consent of the execu­ tive committee ot the organization. It is learned here that a meeting ot the executive board has been called for Tuesday. General Tsnor of ths Markets Seem About Normal. New York. July 29.—R. G. Dun A Co.'s weekly review of trade says: A fortnight of the steel strike has passed without materially altering the position of the contestants or adverse­ ly affecting the Industry as a whole. Exceptional activity Is noticed at tbe mills not affected by the strike, and the movement of structural material for bridges, buildings and traik ele­ vation is stlirheavy. Steel bars for agricultural implement makers are firm In price and fre.ely purchased. Railways seek freight cars, and rails are sold for delivery next January. Cotton ties, sheets and hoops arc com­ manding a premium. Pig iron Is ac­ cumulating, but producers offer no concessions. T(n has fallen to the quo­ tations prevailing in May. owing to the lack of demand here and weak­ ness in London. New lines of woolen goods for deliv­ ery after Oct 1 opened at moderate reductions from last year’s pnceK^as generally expected by the trade. Sup­ plies of heavyweight goods have been reduced to a satisfactory point, and the situation in all branches of the in­ dustry is such as to engender confi­ dence. Raw wool, however, thus far fails to reflect the improvement, quo­ tations remaining unchanged at the lowest average price in four years. Cotton goods are dull, neither buyers nor sellers exhibiting any eagerness to make propositions. Withdrawal of prominent concerns from the Fall River selling committee suggests low­ er prices for print cloths. Shoe shops are producing at full ca­ pacity, with orders arriving steadily, and salesmen are already placing spring samples liberally in western and southern markets. Dry hides are still in light demand, with values firm­ ly held, while a few grades of Chicago country hides are lower. Variations in the corn market on Monday indicated manipulation by stock market interests. The high prices prevailed throughout the week, and £,440,921 bushels of old corn were taken out of cribs and marketed at big profits. Foreign buying is insig­ nificant, Atlantic4xports for the week amounting to only 1,042,361 bushels, against 3,099,897 a year ago, when quo­ tations were about 15 cents lower. "Wheat prices are more rational and the movement is heavy; receipts for the week were 6.898,528 bushels, against 5.046.947 last year, and Atlan­ tic exports 4,873,309 bushels, against 1,604,935 a year ago. Failures for the week numbered 19S in the United States, against 231 last year, and 28 in Canada against 28 last y?ar. WOULDN’T WORK. Attempts to Open Up the Midway on Sunday Checkmated. Buffalo, July 29.—The attempt of __ the Midway ‘shows to open for busi­ ness yesterday was a failure. The first show to announce that it was ready for business was the Indian congress. In front of the concession were two of the directors of the concern and their attorney. Captain Damar of the expo­ sition police notified them to close, which they did under protest Later another attempt was made to open the show. Iron pipes were driv­ en into the asphalt pavement by the police department. From the pipes a rope was stretched In’ the form' of a square, which completely blocked the entrance to the Indian congress.

Detroit, Mich.. July 29.—The news­ paper launch News-Trib got caught in the heavy blow at 6 o’clock last night, about two miles above Grosse Pointe lightship and to the westward of the 20-foot channel and capsized and j sank, carrying Miss Maud Randall of 21 Chester street, one of the five peo­ ple ^aboard, to the bottom with’her. Miss Pearl Randall, William Schuler and Charles Fay were the other three passengers, and Capt: Harley Furring ton ‘ narrowly escaped meeting the same fate. The three men immediately got out from under the boat and secured a hold on the bottom of the launch. CapL Farrington at once dove under the boat and succeeded In getting Pearl Randall free. He had to use all his force to break her hold on the stanchion to which she was clingting. He then dove after Maud Randall and reached her the first time, but was un­ able to break her hold, as she had both arms tightly clasped around a stanchion. He went down a second time, but still Could not free her.

All assayers to whom it was shown declared that they never heard of It before and were unable to say what It was. T. L. Williams of Boise, who has an Interest In some of Mr. Ayers’ mines, says in an interview: "We will go ahead and try to put it to some use and even at the present । time are reasonably sure of success. If it doos come out as we expect, the mine will be more valuable than we ever believed. "There Is a large body of the deposit, and the farther we go In the stronger becomes the light. Another thing that we are convinced of Is that if it can be made practical it will be a perpet­ ual light, for in the throwing off of its rays there does not appear to be any waste of the mineral.’’ Coated With Liquid Air. The department of agriculture has been working recently upon what seems to be a very Interesting discov­ ery—namely, that all objects tn na­ ture are covered with a very thin coat­ ing of liquid air. The discovery here referred to Is said to have tpractical usefulness. It Is found that a soil which lias been deprived of its normal proportion of carbonic add may be recuperated in this respect by simply turning it over and exposing it to the air, so that the needed molecules may settle upon It Marconl'i Lateut.

A great deal of speculation has been caused by the discovery, about 60 miles from Boise, Ida., of a mineral. which has Illuminating power. The discovery was made by George F. Ayres, a well known man of Boise, tn one of his mines. At tbe time he did not think much of the matter and therefore paid no attention to it. The farther he-went into tbe mine. however, tbe brighter the light became, until after a few feet hadybeen worked it was not necessary for him to use a lamp. It was then that he took some of the mineral to Boise and had it- examined by assay- V r the great ’W TONIC LAXATIVE < Xf you have sour stomach, indigestion, biliousness, constipation, bad breath, dizziness, inactive liver, heartburn, kidney- troubles, backache, loss of appetite, insomnia, lack of energy, bad blood, blotched or muddy skin, or any symptoms and disorders which tell the story of bad bowels sad an impaired digestive system, Laxakola Will Cure You. ■ It will clean out the bowels, stimulate the liver and kidneys, strengthen the mucous membranes of the stomach, purify your blood and put you "on your feet" again.

The bank went out of existence some time in the *50s and it was supposed the steel plates were destroyed. It seems that the plates have fallen into the hands of parties who have printed from them large quantities of notes which have been put into circulation from New York to San Francisco. A •very large percentage of the notes so far discovered are twos, although some ones and fives are being sent in.

When an insurance company starts out with a lot of young men for members, it can afford to take risks cheaper, but as the Imembership increases in years the death rate increases, and eventually one of two things must happen, viz: either tbe rate must be increased or the company must become bankrupt if its rates are too low. The question of insurance is one that should appeal to every man, as he cer­ tainly desires to know that in the event of his being taken away, his fam­ ily will be provided for. A report from theJMaccabee meeting says: “It has been shown that since the last biennial review, the old members have fallen behind *200,000 of what it has cost to carry them. This fact presents a grave question and calls for immediate ac­ tion, for the officials realize that if con­ tinued it would result disastrously. At present old members are paying about 33 per cent less than the younger mem­ bers and it is proposed to raise them to the same basis as members are paying at present, according to the age at which they joined. This is done from a standpoint of equity and will dis­ pense with the heavy drag on thrflife benefit fund." The question of rates for insurance ought not to be the chief consideration, but the question ought to be “is It good?” The company that offers for its chief recommendation the fact that its “rates are the lowest" may be the dearest in the end. Insurance can’t be sold below cost any more than sooner or later. Tbe order of Macca­ bees ha* done great good, and rais­ ing its rate* will save it from future trouble. Other fraternal companies have had- to do the same thing and have come out of it stronger and sounder than ever before. It should be borne in mind that tbe actions of the The Bare Fact That we have had to buy three carloads of Carriages and Buggies this season is ample proof of the reputation of the line we carry.

Twa boatloads of the Lathrop party were- ‘ out fishing and desired to be “towed’fc I in by Will Squiers, who was out riding-1 with his launch. The boat, contain- j ing the three parties above named was fastened close to the launch^! while the third boat was fastened! close behind $he second. A start waal made but the downward pressure* from both boats caused the middle ana to perform like a top. Before thft launch could be stopped the middle boat had turned over three timea where the water was about sixteen feet deep, the revolutions being made with such dexterity that a steel ftsh rod and other articles remained in the bottom of the boat. Fortunately the Dr. and his brother were good swl IE mers, and with their assistant , and prompt action of Mr. Squiers and Me daughter, Miss Gertrude, in control ing the launch, Mrs. Lathrop was soon safely aboard it What might have been a very serious affair ended bo fortunately that al! enjoyed a laugh at the impromptu plunge, and especially at the Doctor’s trying to “toudi bottom" where the water/ was rixtaeM feet deep. All that was missed was a blue gill, which took advantage of the opportunity to swim away, even a little grass frog being saved by cling­ ing desperately to the Doctor’s shoulder.* It was a very lucky accident and the. parties concerned have no desire to bat participants in another, especlrfita| where the water^is so deep. “Reddy” Herbert, former catcher the Hastings team has again blossomed! out in a new position and added Initanf to his reputation as a ball playerj “Reddy” started his base ball careas way, way back when Methuselah was iiv.his prime and when catchers used t3 throw the bail at the base runners. 3w accurate was his aim that base runnerJ invariably waited for base hits to help! them home. When the Boston Nation-! al League was in Its infancy • Reddy’* was secured as one of the pitching;staff and for five or six years he was-1' with that famous team. One day the manager got a look at Reddy's teeth. and relegated him to the rear as a *'hM< been” and a release soon followed, sc> he had to begin at the bottom of thm ladder and climb up again. For th« past two years, he caught for the Has^i tings team, not the best team In thsi world to be sure, but just right for aal piring professionals. As a catcher M| was pretty near the “whole thtng.”^ Base ball men saw that he whs macte of • good stuff and they wanted him, this year he signed with the WheeiingJ W.

He started out playing first base, but one day when the regu-: lar catcher was nearly killed Reddy went in and took bis place andpe^C.1 formed his -part so well that he WMg kept there for weeks. Last week the!' pitching staff of the Wheeling tearJ was reduced to one Jef t-handed man—JI and he had a lame arm.

Lincoln’s geniality and willingness at all rimes |o hear or to tell a good story were conspicuous traits, not always agreeable to some of bls able but wor­ ried and irritable advisers. On one occasion a sergeant bad a squad of men at work unloading sup­ plies from an Ohio river steamboat that, lu some mysterious manner had made Its way from the interior to the coast waters of Virginia. It was a flat bottomed boat, drawing not more than three feet of water when loaded and hardly dampening its plank bottom .when light. It was ’propelled by a horizontal stern wheel, driven by a small upright engine. Boats of that type were common on the Ohio, which runs almost dry at some seasons. They were known as “Pittsburgcre" anil were fabled to navigate freely In a heavy dew. • The sergeant’s men were hard at work carrying nitions ashore from this craft when suddenly they stopped and sent up a lusty cheer. A little tuglike steamer bad pulled up alongside, and from it stepped a taN. awkward man dressed In rusty black and wearing a napless silk hat. The sergeant recog­ nized tbe president and saluted. "Your boat Is well named, sergeant,’’ said the latter gravely. The soldier was puzzled. He did not know* that the steamer bad a frame and said so. The president took him by the arm and led blm back on the tug. There the stem of the “I’lttsburger” loomed above them, and on its dirty white sur­ face In tarnished gilt letters a yard long appeared the single word. Mist. "Yes,’’ said Lincoln. “It’s very well named Indeed, sergeant. All those boats need Is a mist, and they’ll run anywhere. “Years ago,” be continued, “I was at­ tending court In Cairo. Ills., when the Ohio was so low that all tbe water there was between its banks was what bad spilled over from the Mississippi. Those ‘Pittsburgers’ were passing and repaying all the time. One night there came up a little shower that raised the level maybe a half Inch. One of ’em got out of the channel, slid ashore and grounded in the mud right beside the courthouse. “It was there the next morning, and I remarked to a brother attorney that that boat was aground to stay. He was from* ‘Egypt’ and knew more about ‘Pittsburgers’ than 1 did. He merely smiled and said, ‘You wait and see.’ . . “There caiiie on another shower that afternoon. I beard an engine puffing and looked out of the courthouse win­ dow. Maybe you’ll think I’m exagger­ ating, but there was that boat steam­ ing down the road toward the river, and In two minutes she was back In the Ohio, Just as tbe ahower was over. “I expressed my surprise to the Judge, but he said that was nothing. If the shower hadn’t come up in time, the captain would simply have hired a boy with a sprinkling pot to go ahead. They’re great boats, sergeant Likely as not this one got here by coming across country." President Lincoln repeated this ex­ travagant story without the ghost of a •mile. During Its recital Secretary Stanton and Generals Halleck and Sherman—the last named having run up the day before from bls march through the Carolina!—who were with the party, had approached the |pre* dent.

I was told that none Is caught about here, but was invited to a sea turtle bunt Let the reader Imagine a turtle weighing all the way from 1,200 to 1,500 pounds, and not long ago one was turned -over on the beach near Miami that weighed more than 1,000 pounds. Of course I am giving tbe largest weight, for the average weight of those caught along the coast Is about 500 pounds. After they are caught tbe turtles are kept for •a long time, their captors feeding them on cabbage, lettuce, turnips, carrots and sea grasses. The study of this monster shellfish is a most interesting one. In order to get rid of the parasites that cling to their •bells they often enter fresh streams to enjoy a bath, but they are extremely timid and take fright at the least noise. The hunter knows, however, that the turtle feeds in brackish streams where the tide falls rather low and wfiiere the turtle grass grows In greatest profusion. The turtles cut great quantities of this grass and then roll It into a ball, cementing It as they roll it with the clay In which the grass grows, and In this way. when they have managed to amass a goodly sup­ ply of provisions, they wait for high tide and float away seaward, feeding -as they float The professional hunters are quick to detect these balls, and just tbe mo­ ment they do so they set their seines and send their peggers. as tbe men are called.

She was to have been mar rled on Sunday to Peter Casslana. and *5.,?J?.Ueved ,he w“ spirited away by William Berni, a rejected suitor. Miss Pella® arrived on the Saturday afternoon boat from Chicago with Cassiana. Berni also was a passenger on the boat. After making arrangements for an early marriage yesterday mooi­ ng the couple went In bathing in the lake. Casslana swam a long distance out In the lake, leaving the Intended bride in shoal water. When out half a mile he saw some one struggling with her. With long strokes he made for shore, but before he arrived there the young lady and her assailant had disappeared. Cassiana’s shoes and parts of his clothing were also gone, so that he was delayed In reaching police head quarters. He reported the matter to the officers, and efforts were made to capture the alleged kidnaper, whom Casslana swears is his rival. Berni. One suspect was arrested in Benton Harbor, but released for lack of evi­ dence. The officers now believe that the girl was a party to the plot, in­ tending to give Casslana the slip and marry her first love. TWO MINERS KILLED. Crushed Under Thousands of Tons of Ore at Negaunee.

G- Dnn * Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Contained favorable weather condi­ tions have resulted In the saving of much late planted corn, and in the northwest ideal weather for spring wheat harvest has been enjoyed. As this is the point that business in all parts of the country has been most carefully watching, the general feel­ ing is better than a week ago. al­ though the disposition on botn sides to settle tbe steel strike has not yet re­ sulted in any agreement, and the la­ bor situation is thus kept prominent. Official returns of pig iron produc­ tion in the first half of tbe year show a record-breaking aggregate of 7,674,• 712 tons. During the past week lead­ ing mills have placed large contracts for early delivery, and Inquiries for all forms of finished steel are abundant. An unfavorable showing for the first half year in both exports and output of copper resulted In the first altera­ tion in nominal price since the ad­ vance of 17 cents eight months ago. Violent fluctuations have marked the course of corn prices. The top point of the previous week was not re­ gained. but traders oh the short side of the market were compelled to cover at a loss. Wheat is of less Interest to speculators, but In legitimate trad­ ing It Is especially active, western re­ ceipts for the week reaching 6.580,811 bn, against 5,020,761 last year, and 4,­ 784,368 two .years ago, while Atlantic exports were 4,815,806 bu, against 2,­ 873,708 in 1900, and 3.765,787 in 1899. Dealers tn some drouth-stricken dis­ tricts have countermanded orders for footwear, and these cancellations are felt mainly by western makers, but as a whole tbe industry is in a healthy position. Leather is quiet, shoe fac­ tories buying lightly owing to large supplies taken recently. Liberal ar­ rivals of bides tend to depress values. Wool has at last risen slightly above the lowest point in four years. The cotton market awaits the government report in a dull and weak position. Failures in July were 697 in num­ ber, against 793 last year, and 87.035,­ 933 in amount of liabilities, against 89,711.775 in 1900. NOBODY KNOWS, But a Negro's Body Was Found on the Roadway. New Orleans, Aug. 5.—The Pica­ yune's Carrollton, Mist., special says: Your correspondent has Just learned that the armed mob which has been in the Taliaferro neighborhood for two days looking for Sallle Layton and oth­ ers, some time Saturday night killed Will Price, the negro who worked for Mr. Taliaferro and lived within 200 yards of his residence. He was found dead in the road on Mr. Duke's place Sunday morning, some distance from any trees or anything to which to hang anyone, with a rope around his neck and mutilated by gunshots. Squire John Irving field an Inquest over the body. The verdict was "came to his death by the hands of unknown persons." It is said he went tb the Taliaferro residence and told Jack Taliaferro all about the murder and said the plan was to kill both the old people and Jack, the youngest boy. while Lynn was away and shoot him when he returned. Your correspond­ ent cannot learn the particulars of the killing of Price or whether the mob has killed anyone else. It Is under­ stood that the mob has quit work now and gone home. No arrests have as yet been made of parties who engaged in the lynching. Fatal Knock-Out Drops. Charlotte. N. C.I Aug. 5.—Last Fri­ day afternoon a young man was found lying by the roafside two miles from Charlotte in an unconscious condition. He was brought to the city hospital, where he died an hour later. The cor­ oner's Inquest has developed a case of murder and robbery. The dead body was identified as that of Newton Lani­ er of Fort Mill, S. C., and a volunteer in the Spanish war, who went to Cuba In a company from this city. It transpires that Lanier was given knock-out drops at a questionable house here and was afterward sand­ bagged and robbed of his watch and 180 in cash. It is alleged that Lanier was Inred to the house by three men, one of whom gave his name as Charles Lyle of Knoxville. Tenn.

But since that time al] has changed and we are happy in spite of W. J. Bryan’s prediction, that if McKinley was elected there would be held no more 4th of July cel­ ebrations in this grand old nation. We have more to be thankful for than ever before. President McKinley has met the great questions and solved them to the satisfaction of all loyal citizens of ’ this republic, and our flag stands for more today than ever before. It repre-: sents the happiest people, the richest nation, and the only one that ever took up the sword for down trodden men and women. Yours very truly, P. L. Rork.

ADDITIONAL LOCAL The Banner acknowledges receipt of the Michigan Official Directory and legislative Manual for 1901-1902, com­ piled by Secretary of State Warner, ac­ cording td a public act of 1899, has b?en issued from the state printers. It is a book of 840 pages, containing a complete resume of state history and laws as well as the roll of state officials and state employes. Election and cen­ sus statistics are also included, as is the political organization of the various parties in all the counties of the state. Ben Matthews had an experience at the Bookcase factory Saturday that was not at all pleasant He had driven hjs team into a place where it was im possible to get out and after getting to work nicely, the presence of a large num­ ber of bumble bees convinced him that he had stirred up a bad nest The bees prodded the horses so that they were on the verge of smashing up every­ thing within reach, when Ben bid de­ fiance to bee stings and jumped down and unhitched the animals. This seemed to incur the displeasure of the bunjblera who attacked him. Judging' from appearances they all got at least one whack at him, and many of them more, his face looking like a combina­ tion of mumps and an unsuccessful scrap. It was a very generous act nev­ ertheless, ai|d doubtless saved a bad smash-up, but the stings were a fright. According to the Kalamazoo Tele­ graph when Mrs. Maida T Carson, widow of the late Samuel Carson, comes into court next fall in the case of William C. Carson ys the heirs of the late Samuel C. Carson, she will have to prove that she was in a legal position to marry. Attorneys in the case admit that there was a marriage license secured and a marriage cere­ mony performed, but some question will be raised as to her standing at the time in regard to ’a legal marriage with the late Mr. Carson. The trial of the case and the settlement of the property promisee to be a long and bitter light The trouble arises from the fact that previous to his death Mr. Carson transferred about 8285,000 worth of bis property to Wm. C. Carson, as trustee, leaving gboi’t 850.000 unpro­ vided for. Of the 850,000 Mrs. Carson would be entitled to one-third of the personal property and the use of onethird of the real estate making her share from 815,000 to 817,000. For her part she alleges that he was Incompet­ ent when he made his will. The case promises to be bitterly contended. Tuesday night ex-Supervisor Henry Ekert and his amiable wife, of Irving township, were very decidedly reminded of the fact that they had been married 25 years. The genial Henry was sit­ ting on the porch in the evening, “dressed in his worst suit of clothes,” and thinking of the happy event that occurred a quarter of a century ago. In the meantime sundry and divers dishes of ice cream were disapi>earing. The toot of an occasional horn didn’t impress him, because individual mem­ bers of the Freeport band frequently play along the streets, but as the music came closer and closer and the entire band of twenty-eight pieces, followed by nearly all the people in Freeport, stoppea right in front of his house, he knew the jig was up. The ‘ lightning change” that Henry is said to have made would do credit to a professional After recovering from their sunwise Mr. and Mrs. Ekert entered heartily Into the festivities of the occasion and delightfully entertained their friends. About .'JOO were present: light refresh­ ments were served, and In honor of the occasion many valuable presents were left to remind them of their 25th., wedding anniversary.

Btfrolt, Mloh, Hastings City Bank, Poultry and egg raising Is eminently adapted to the person with small capi­ tal who is anxious that the Investment pay without running tpr* great risk. One may begin In the most humble way in poultry rafting, and then gradu­ ally increase the else of the plant as conditions warrant. It is really a case of learning a business while slowly in­ vesting capital In It. And this is really Die best and most sensible way of approachlng the business. To .start In with all the capital invested at first,1 and then tpnrn learn Inter later hr by hitter bitter exnerlexperi­ ence, Is just the way to get d’ieooraged and find that there is no money In the business. With the smallest amount of capital one can go Into the business, especially If there Is a suitable place at hand for the work. One can rent a small poul­ try farm and then learn by experience, even raising fruits and vegetables the first few years to help pay the expensesof living. Ultimately, Imwevehs the ambition .should be placed on chicken and egg raising for the purpose of mas­ tering it as a specialty. Let onspbegin with 50 hens and find oui the first season what cap be done with that number. From this stock he can prepare his next season’s Increase without further calling upon his capi­ tal. By method of exchange of eggs with neighbors wear or .distant new blood can be introduced, and there will not be much danger of close inbreeding. In many places there Is a regular system of exchange of eggs In this way, and at very little expense new breeds are constantly being‘added. From the 50 hens of the first season the flock can be Increased to 200 for the second. If you have been successful with the 50, you are probably prepared the sec­ ond year, to handle 200, especially it proper houses and yards have been pre­ pared In, advance. That is very essen­ tial, and throughout the whole devel­ opment of the business never neglect to Increase the quarters of the bens and chickens in proportion to their In­ crease In numbers. With plenty of accommodations and fair success the second year the begin­ ner might well Increase hrs stock to 500 for the third year. The fourth year he might go up to 700 or 800 and the fifth season round out the business with an even 1,000. When you have reached that number,, the plant is a pretty good sized one, and Its further increase must be made gradually. There are poultry farms of 5,000. and 10,000 hens, but the owners have learned by careful experience bow to handle such numbers in the most economical way. Any beginner, of course, can grow up to such proportions if he has the push and go and the good business common sense whlgh enables him to raise and sell to the'-best possible advantage, concludes an -American Cultivator cor­ respondent • ers. and the canary yellow blossoms of Austria, borne on taller stems, make a grand show also behind the rest. With these richly colored plants a few hydrangeas may be grouped. The white hydrangea Is one of the very best, being compact and highly florifer­ ous. blooming even In a tiny pot during Its first ye^r. Hydrangeas are most accommodating plants, only requiring a shift Into a pot two Inches larger In diameter after blooming, unless of large size, and a rich top dressing just as they start Into, growth In the spring. An abundance of water and biweek­ ly supplies of soot water should be given directly the plants begin to grow. In fact, when In flower they can scarce­ ly have too much water, and any fail­ ure In the supply tylll cause the floral bracts, which are naturally of snowy whiteness’, to turn brown, thus spoiling the beauty of the plant. A special point In the cultivation of these flowers Is that they shcjld st*nd all the summer after blooming in the full sunshine to ripen their wood, for A SIMPLE SWARM CATCHER without this they do not bloom well. Manneed mid Good Distance. The low beaded tree bears earlier. The fruit is easier gathered. The fallen fruit does not bruise so much. The only way to cultivate low branch­ ed trees is by the bog.

Earle of Ala­ bama says: This is a remarkably good plum, whose valuable qualities seem to have been overlooked .by nurserymen and orchardists. It Is the earliest of our really good plums, ripening here about the first of June. It Is large, rich, yellow, with firm flesh of high quality. It blooms rather late, and. the tree is a good grower. It Is strongly recommend­ ed for “both home use and market” On the other hand, a northern grower has pronounced It “fit only for the brush heap." You “pays your money and takes your choice."

Two sowings of seeds should be made, the first about the middle of June and the second about the middle of July. Take as many six inch pots as there are specimens required and after draining them well fill to within an inch of the top with a mixture of loam and well decayed manure well broken up. Press It down rather firm­ ly, sow the seed thinly and cotter with finely sifted soil. Place them in a frame or under hand lights. After the seedlings are up give more air night and day. The plants will soon become strong enough for the first thinning to take place, which should consist of the weakest plants. In a short time a sen. ond thinning will be required, leaving from five to seven of the strongest plants at regular distances over the surface of the pot. The plants may be allowed to grow until they have rooted well, but at the saipe time must not be allowed to get pot bound, as If so the stems (become hard, and they will attempt to bloom, aud their future growth will be check­ ed iu consequence. At this stage they will be fit to put luto the pots in which they are intended to fl wet. This large shift Is necessary, because -inigponette does not thrive well when frequently shifted... Eight and one-half or ten Inch pots will be found a good size for specimen plants. The pots should be perfectly drained and quite clean. As to soli, nothing Is better than turfy loam well decayed. This will without any addition grow the plants well. Pot them firmly nnd water at once. Keep the sun from them and stand the pots out of ddors or In a cold i frame on a cool bottom of ashes and protect from strong winds. Stake each plant firmly, and when they bare grown an inch or two pinch outltbe top of every shoot. This will cause them to break two Inches or three inches down In the stem. These shoots In du- time will need stopping and tying as the plants advance until thqy have formed the outline of good specimens, when they may be allowed to flower. At the latter part of the summer, when the plants are taken under cov­ er, they should have a light, alt^ place in greenhouse temperature. When the plants are well set with bloom, give occasional waterings of weak; liquid manure. > "MOTHER'S FTXMD” (that marvelous liniment) U nniquc in relieving aad relaxing all tire strained tendons and muscles, as weu as the distended organs.

HGHT IS NOW UNDER WAY dow Almon Thick and Roy Dodge, two Kalamazoo youths, were engaged in a friendly wrestling contest one day last week.

The official Journal of the state of Jalisco says that a Mexican residing in the Quiche district of the republic of Guatamala has had the good fortune to discover there a portion of the treasure of the ancient kings of Quiche.

One of the most daring robberies ever perpetrated in the west took place last week when thieves entered the Selby Smelting Works at San Francisco and stole 8280,000 in gold bars.

In All 60,000 Men Have Quit Work, Bart the Mills in Many Localities Are Running as Usual—Officials Clash. Pittsburg,. Pa., Aug. 13.—The strug­ gle for mastery between manufactur­ ers and men In the steel industry is now fairly launched, and on the first show of strength advantage is with the former. General strike order lasued by President Shaffer has so far been obeyed by only about ia.000 men, according to the best figures obtain­ able here. The first two preliminary calls were answered by about 45.000 men, so that the total number out is in the neighborhood of 60.000. The strikers made gains here yesterday over the showing of Sunday night, and their prospects for further accessions at both McKeesport and Wheeling dur­ ing the week are very favorable. The action of tfce Amalgamated men at Chicago, Joliet and Bayview in refus­ ing to come out and their failure to se­ cure any recruits in the Carnegie group throughout the Ktskiminetas valley, and the big plants at Youngs­ town and Columbus, O.» have been markedly disappointing to them. They are keeping up the fight, however,.in a spirited manner and claim that they have strength in reserve which will surprise their oppondBts. They Assert that they have gained a foothold in the Carnegie mills in this city, and at the time desired the men will come out They are pressing their advant­ ages at McKeesport and Wheeling and their organizers are still at work in those two>cities. President Shaffer has decided to personally visit Wheel­ ing aud will go there Wednesday to address a mass meeting of his follow­ ers. Officials Clash. ■ Officials of the National Tube Co. and Mayor Black clashed over the question of protection for non-strikers and property. A large crowd of strik­ ers assembled around use works yestexady morning and their pickets in­ tercepted tube workers on their way to the mills. There was some excite­ ment and the mill officers claimed tnat tiieir men were being threatened and called on Mayor Black to clear the streets and protect them. The mayor said he would only interfere to stop actual rioting and assault. Two other appeals wre made to him later In the day, but he insisted that there was no 'danger of an outbreak. Another crowd gathered at noon when the tube men were leaving the plant, and while the workers were jeered no vio­ lence was offered. The strikers say that it Is only a question of time when material will give out and the tube men ftust quit. Otherwise it is' be­ lieved that there would bfe serious trouble in McKeesport Reports from Wheeling and Bellaire Indicate that there may be trouble there. At the latter place an attempt is to be made to keep the plant In operation, and the mill officials say that if the men who did not go out are interfered with they will ask for state militia to protect them. No attempt has been made as yet to put in operation the plan of with­ drawing savings deposits suggested by President Shaffer in his speeches of Saturday. The suggestion artmsed great interest, particularly in banking circles, and many bankers not con nocted with the larger industrial com binations have protested against IL President.Shaffer said that he had not sent out the circular dealing with the matter: He said: "I have the circular in my pocket still, and the matter is under consider­ ation. I am aware that there are banks which have no connection with the trust or its interests. There are things to be considered which makes It necessary to stop any action for the present. On general lines, however, the matter Is perfectly reasonable. Why should our people put money In the banks to be loaned to the trust to carry on their business of destroying us?" Reports from Lorain say that the mills are working as usual and that there is no prospect of trouble. Mingo Junction reports that there may be an early attempt to start the National steel plant there with non-union men. Altoona wires that the seven-inch mill' of the American Steel Hoop Co. at Duncansville, which has been idle for months, was started and that the pros­ pects of trouble in the mills there is slight The Oil City plant of the Na­ tional Tube Co. is moving without trouble.

Boyn­ ton and full staff rode down to the Knights of Columbus tent and were present in the seats of honor at the solemn military mass. Gov. Bliss sat in a front seat with several of his staff officers. When the hat was passed to take up a collection £or the poor, the governor produced a fat wal­ let from which he abstracted a flvedollar bill and threw it with a flourish Into the hat. Someone else went him five better, and put in a ten-dollar bill. Gen. Boynton and each of his staff put in silver dollars. The collection amounted to $80. The mass was a beautiful ceremony. The altar was made for the occasion and was decorated in gold and white. Three silver candlesticks were on each side of the tabernacle, back of which was a golden crucifix. Back of this was a huge cross of Hiles, red and white roses and stephanotis. In'the background of the whole altar was a huge flag. , At each side of.the altar stood lines of privates with campaign hats, white gloves, belts and guns at present arms. Gen. Boynton and staff knelt and stood up at the proper times, but the governor mostly remained seated. The big tent was jammed and about it outsldestood several hundred people. A drum and bugle sounded the warning notes at the elevation, sanctus and agnus Dei. A large special choir from Manistee furnished the music. The Second in­ fantry band rendered several selec­ tions. Chaplain Kelly preached a simple, Impressive sermon, which Gen. Boyn­ ton afterwards characterized as "just Hght” The chaplain spoke of the soldierly qualities, discipline and honor. He said that the true soldier had spiritual dignity, honor and also tue discipline which more than oath and mustering or uniform made him a soldier. "At the mention of honor,” the chap­ lain said, "one instinctively thinks of a soldier. But honor is also distinct­ ively a' Christian virtue, which the Master first brought to this world. Rather death than the slightest stain, is a good definition of honor. But hon­ or ought to be tn the lives of men as well. You cannot possibly secularize your country, your nag or your army, nor divorce God from a soldier’s life. You cannot be good one way and bad another." ■ Dr. W. S. Ament of Pekin told of the origin of the boxer movement and claimed that the missionaries were notresponsible for the bloodshed and plunder. Inspection was made by Gen. Smith in the morning.

NO 17. Hastings Banner lift ON THE ROAD the ups and downs of trampDOM. As Seen by Leslie Flint, of Nashville, a Boy Reporter, Who has Tramped Over Most of the Country. Dear Reader: As my stories coni.uteil to the Banner will deal with n v experience with tramps and hoboes U.roughout the United States, Canada u-d Mexico to a great extent, I will try mid give my readers a few pointers regarding the "knights of the road." It has remained for the civilization ..f the twentieth century to develop the nt inis tramp, that migratory being wii .<e flight to the sunny south can be gambled 011 to a certainty as a fore­ : muter of cold, weather. When winter puts on his ulster and h.-g 1 ns to do a song and dance on the heart of the great lakes, the tramp takes out a Crosstie Great Southvrn Railway ticket (unlimited), catch<>n to a break-beam, sleeping berth; and ’Minis his face toward the Gulf .< Mexico. He huiupeth himself like a dromedary and lingereth not by the roadside to toy with the rural woodpile, but hastens on with a swift­ ness that causes a note in Tank to grow exceedingly weary. That is the only time that a tramp does anything swiftly, except to get over a tence to avoid the yard dbg. But when old winter sticks an icicle • down the collar of the summer tramp he has a sudden yearning to go down and rest under the orange trees of Florida -and he goeth. Tramps generally follow the lines of railroads as the most direct, running through the most thickly populated districts, and then as affording an op­ portunity for an occasional lift. They have long since learned how chilled (steeled) is the heart of a freight con­ ductor and what eloquence of expostu­ lation his boot toe possesses; and their sensitive shrinking natures recoil at thoughts of the brutal refusal that will meet an humble petition, and they sneak into a box car. Il is surprising to note the number of able bodied men who tramp—great, stmt, hulking fellows, who are physi­ cally able of doing a hard day’s work without any inconvenience. And the hardihood they show in stealing a ride on a brake beam amid the stifling dust that 4s whirled up under the cars would stand them in good stead if shown in an earnest search for work. There is a great difference between a hobu and a tramp, although most peopie make no distinction between them . A hobo is a person who is thrown on the road by chanciior who is just “hit­ ting the road” for some definite pur­ pose or fur the fun there, is in it. He generally a jolly, cheerful fellow and takes life as it comes without a mur­ mur. He is willing to work when any­ thing turns up, though he is not always looking for it. A hobo will ride any train that runs on rails. He will ride the "blind," ;the “brake-beam." the side-ladders," the “bumpers,” the ■ rods," the “pilot," will "deck” a coach" ride underneath the “pilot," or in fact will ride any place on a train, just so as he can reach his destination. A tramp is a person who is usually too lazy to earn his “keeps." He is generally very cross and surly, and is always singing the old, worn-out, hardluck story. He is always looking for work and hoping he may never find it. lie manages to live by bumming “hand­ outs" while in the smaller-towns, and while in the cities he is a regular pa­ tron of the “free lunch" joints, and will sometimes get a meal by picking but a few choice morsels of food from the alley garbage boxes. A tramp is a coward in riding trains and will never 'venture to ride unless he can manage to crawl into an empty box car. If there is no “empty” on a train, a tramp will .remain in a town until he finds one, or until the town is “bummed out„* unless he is “hiked" out by the marshal, which is generally the case. There is a certain class of hoboes that work only a portion of each year and spend the remaider of their time (At the road. This class of hoboes gen­ erally spend the winter in Florida or California, where they work at picking and packing oranges and lemons. From these states they travel to Ar­ kansas and Louisiana, arriving there in time to pick the early strawberries. After the strawberry season is over they travel northward to Illinois and Wisconsin, reaching these states in time for cherry picking. After this job is finished they then come to Mich­ igan to pick raspberries, blackberries and pe&cbee. From Michigan they travel to New York, arriving there In plenty of time for the hop picking. Hastings, Michigan, They generally remain in Pew York until the hop, grape and apple picking is finished, after which they go to New Jersey to pick cranberries. After the cranberry season closes they then start south again to remain through the win­ ter. A great many hoboes make this same circuit every year, so my readers can see that there are at least a few in­ dustrious persons in the ranks of the “knights of the road." There are also a few members of that great organization who are “hitting the road for our great daily newspapers throughout the United States and are given large salaries for traveling in this way. As to whether they are tramps or hoboes, 1 am not prepared to say, but will leave my readers to judge for themselves when 1 have finished my articles on life on the road in the Banner. Leslie Flint. Pension Figures. The number of pensioners on the rolls June 30th last was 997,735, a net gain of 4^06 over last year. The loss to the roll last year was 43,586 of which 38,153 was by death. The gniH to the roll was 47,792, a net gain of 4,206, of which 3,849 were from the Spanish war. The number of pension claims pend­ ing July 1st last was 403,569, 45,860 claims being filed last year. There has been paid out i<i pensions from June 30, 1790 to July 1st 1901, 82,763,350,033.

How to Kill the Pest. “Wheat is still king,” sings the opiomistic scribe of the State Republicah. He points out the fact that Michigan farmers in 1898 reaped their biggest crop in the history of the state. The troublesome Hessian fly, he declares may be gotten rid of in several ways: By burning the stubble; by thorough fertilizing especially with commercial fertilizers, thus giving the young plant strength to withstand the flrst attacks of the pest; by sowing a strip Around the field "to entrap the insect and then plowing under deep; by late sowing, no earlier than the first half of October, for in nine cases out of ten a nipping frost acomes in October, which would destroy the insect near the earth liefore the eggs are laid: and lastly by the care­ ful selection of seed wheat. Dawson Golden Chaff and some red varieties, notably the Ruby, have proved excel­ lent for withstanding the ravages of the fly” A Now Pest. A resident of Venice township says that the residents of that section have a new pest to contend with, and one that seems to put an end to bean rais­ ing. Whatever tie peet is It enters th» flrst Joint of the bean stalk where it comes out, cuttliig the stalk so badly that it drops over andsoon dies. None of the pests have been found, yet quite a proportion of some fields in that section are practically destroyed. Whether the pent will put an end to bean raising in the state in a few years remains to be seen, yet a great many farmers in that section think that such will be the case. Early planted beans will probably not be affected very much this year, but late beans'will not be half a crop from present indications. It is quite likely that beans will be a much better price this fall than last, owing to this fact-Flushing Observer. A Died. COULTER—Died at her home in Irv­ ing Saturday evening from the effects of an operation for tttmor, Mrs. Mil­ ton Coulter. Mary E. Cobb was bom in 1857 and about 25 years ago was united in mar­ riage to Mr. Milton Coulter, who with two sons, Roy aged 18 and Morris aged 14, her mother Mrs. E. J. Cobb, a broth­ er Ira Cobb and a half brother Newman A. Fuller survive her. About a year ago she was taken ill and soon indications of a tumorous growth were noticed. Ail that could be done for her was done, but the tu­ mors, of which there were three, grad­ ually increased in growth, sapped her strength and it came to a point where the only chance of her living was in an operation, which was performed Wednesday of last week by Dr„ Smith, of Grand. Rapids; assisted by several other physicians. She rallied from the operation nicely and the chances for her recovery seemed good until about four o’clock Saturday af­ ternoon, when she commenced to fail, the end coming shortly after six o’clock.

This may be a josh, but an old fisher­ man says a sure way to bate game Safe is to secure a glass jar—an ordinary half gallon fruit jar will answer to thn purpose—and fill it with water, putting­ in the jar about a dozen, nice minnows,. Then fasten a piece of parchment ow the mouth of the jar, sticking a number of small holes in it, and go to the spot where you desire to fish and drop the. jar into the water. The jar should have attached to it a small string and float so it may be located. The game fish will fairly swarm around the min­ nows, and if left alone for a day or two, they will become very hungry and the minute you drop your hook into the water with a minnow oh ir they will make a rush for it.

Bad smells around a creamery will always reach to New York, for there is one thing which Is as accurate as a well regulated thermometer, and that the nose of the expert tester of the big cities. We have the report of a Vermont creamery, and it shows that Its patrons received 68 cents per hundredweight for April 4 per cent milk. Tbe west­ ern creameries made a better showing | than this. The top grafting of Duchess, with Melinda and the sowing of the seeds of the apples thus produced are recom­ mended as the most practical way for South Dakota to secure a reliable win­ ter apple.

We prune and trim even more than this to Insure symmetry and beauty of shape.

Don’t fool yourself with the promise that when you have made your pile you are going to lay off and enjoy yourself. When you get reiidy to lay off.

Happiness in living very fortunately is given to men In dally installments and cannot be banked and checked out all in a lump at some future and faroff time. Southern Missouri is not likely to.develop into the “home of the big red apple.” as was $0 confidently expected a few years ago. Insects, blight and fungous diseases have so affedted the orchards of that section that the owner of a 2.800 acre orchard there located pronounces the attempt at commercial orcharding a total failure. The two most promising new apple sections of the country are northern Michigan and Idaho. A writer In a Minnesota paper states that the prairie chickens of that state will hatch out two broods this year, the spring weather having been so favor­ able. This is a mistake. This bird rarely ever brings off more than one brood In a season unless the flrst set­ ting of eggs Is destroyed in some man­ ner. The quail will often In the lati­ tude of Missouri bring off two broods in a year, but the ruffed grouse and the prairie chicken never. We would like to know whether or not It would be possible, and, If possi­ ble, profitable, to domesticate the com­ mon wild pen of tbe north and grow It as a field crop. There Is no doubt that it Is a valuable legume and under fa­ vorable conditions in Its wild state produces a heavy crop of fodder of just the kind which Is needed on ev­ ery stock farm. Have any of our read­ ers ever had any experience with this plant? If so, we will be glad to hear from them. The fear was expressed at many of the horticultural meetings last winter that the apple trees of the west and northwest were In special danger of In­ jury by the cold of the winter because the trees carried nearly all their leaves into and through the winter. This fear seems not to have been well founded, for apple orchards never came through a winter In better shape. Possibly an exemption from a very low range of temperature during the winter may have bad something to do with their good condition. It takes more skill to make good cheese than it does to make good but­ ter. Butler making is reduced to a sci­ ence, while cheesemaking is still large­ ly done by guess. The principal trou­ ble lies in the curing of the cbeeae, most of it being cured In too high a temperature. The fancy and blgb priced foreign made cheese Is made of no bet­ ter material than forms the base of out. American cheese. In fact, some of the best brands of foreign cheese are made uf partially skimmed milk, and foreign success lies almost wholly in the ter of skiUe the product. ...J BOTH BENEFITED. A good friend of ours takes excep­ tion to our recommendation to the man who had a naturally 111 tempered and ugly horse to get rid of him and says that we are unfair to the man to whom such horse may be traded or sold. Not altogether. There is;a great difference in men In the matter of handling cranky horses. We onee owned a good mare whose only fault was that when we bad to ford a small creek on our way to the field she would always balk when In the middle of the stream and kick the front end board out of toe wagon If she cotfid. This became very annoying and tried our patience to the .extreme. A neighbor who did not have to cross creeks every day and who considered himself one of the elect so far as his eternal happiness was concerned offered to buy the mare, knowing just what her failing was, and he kept her for years as a useful farm animal. We got rid of a nui­ sance; he got a good horse. Nothing wrong about that. 5 One of the ironies of fate i* that Battle Creek the home of health foods. footle. It u Supplied ta thi.

Eczema is caused by an acid humor in the blood coming in contact with the skin and producing great redness and in­ flammation ; little pustular eruptions form •nd discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which dries and scales off; sometimes the skin is bard, drv and fissured. Eczema in any fcrrni is 'a tormenting, stubborn disease, •nd the itching and burning at times arp> almost unbearable; the acid burning humor seems to ooze out and set the slgk on fire. Salves, washes nor other exter­ nal applications do any real good, for as long as the poison remains in the blood it will keep the skin irritated.

What Sir Harry Johnston thought to be probably a new’ zebra living In tbe Kongo forests has proved to be a new mammal Indeed, but neither the Eqnus Johnston!, which It wns provisionally named, nor a horse of any kind or sortIt Is an absolutely new type of exist­ ing animal so far as can be Judged from the skin and two skulls which a Swedish officer, Mr. K. Erlkssen. com­ mandant of the Kongo State fort of Mbenl. has sent to tbe administrator of British Central Africa. It Is now certain that an absolutely unknown creature of large size, and probably tbe only representative of a prehistoric race of mammals, survives In some numbers in what Is now a part of the British empire. Tbe new mammal is a living representative of a lost form. Tbe London Times gives a' detailed account of the extraordinary coloring of this prehistoric beast It Is as large as a wild horse, cloven footed and a ruminant Tbe head Is large, tbe muz­ zle tapering, tbe cheeks white and the muzzle brown. This suggests the color­ ing of one of tbe larger African ante­ lopes. But the whole forehead Is scar­ let red. which narrows Into a thin black line down to the nostrils. Proceeding with this reconstruction, we have a brown beast with ass’ ears, a scarlet forehead and white cheeks. There re­ main the hind quarters, the most con­ spicuous part In roost quadrupeds, and the legs. The bind quartera and flje hind legs down to tbe hocks are striped with purplish black, white and Dale orange. The proportions hre some­ thing like those of a horse and the outline that of a tapir.

The ease with which the United States leduced Spain from a second to a fourth rate power has caused her people to enquire of themselves how this came to be done, and why Spain made so poor a show of resistance. Her intelli­ gent people have become aroused to the fact that the American navy, ship for ship, .and the American soldiers and sailors, man for man, were three times as efficient as the Spanish, was because of the far greater freedom and intelligence of the American people. Spanish scholars and educated leaders are therefore calling upon the youth of Spain to break with the long aud hor­ rid spell of ignorance and superstition which have so long not merely arrest­ ed the development of Spain, but which have caused that country to greatly decline in resources and in the quality of its people. The first fruits of the aroused public spirit of the youth of Spain are manifested in a series of riots, where mobs have attacked con­ vents and churches, because they felt the priests had been “blind leaders of the blind.” This will give place later on to enforced popular education, and laws that will compel the church to cease meddling with political questions, and attend to her own business of se curing the moral and spiritual prog­ ress of the people. There is yet hope for Spain and the Spanish people. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Capt.

Condition of Crops Quite Discouraging on Account of Drouth. New York, Aug 20.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: The distribution o! merchandise has .proceeded this week on a steady atd satisfactory scale throughout the east, and in the’ west and southwest tbe re­ lief from the iong drouth and beat is beginning to be reflected in a- larger retail trade, so that tor the quarter promise Is held out of a larger busi­ ness than last year. Crop conditions In the *erritory affected by the recent drouth are improving, and the weather has been highly favorable in nearly all districts east of the Missouri river, though rains have interrupted the spring wheat harvest. The steel strike has affected prices extensively, par­ ticularly on steel for immediate deliv­ ery. In tin plates the advance has been greatest, while hoops, sheets, skelp and billets are held at premi­ ums. Quotations are too erratic for accurate record, and in many cases sales are nt private terms. Confidence Is steadily shown by placing ot dis­ tant deliveries at regular prices. Con­ sumption has undoubtedly been fur­ ther curtailed this month, but a re­ vival of exports tends to prevent ac­ cumulation.

C.» Aug. 19—The steam­ er Islander, the crack passenger steamer of the Alaskan route operated by the Canadian Pacific Navigation Co. of this city, struck an Iceberg off Douglas Island at 2 o’clock on the morning of Thursday last and went to the bottom, carrying down from 65 to 80 souls, Including passengers and members of the crew. Some of the survivors arrived here yesterday af ternoon by steamer Queen. They re­ port that as the vessel went down her boilers exploded, causing the death ot many who might have escaped. Capt. Foote was on the bridge when the ves­ sel struck and stayed there and went down with his steamer. Among the passengers lost on the Islander were: Mrs. Ross, wife of Che governor of the Yukon territory, her child and niece; Dr. John Duncan of this city, W. G. Preston and bride of Seattle. F. Mills. Victoria: Mrs. J. G. Henderson. Victoria: W. H. Keating and two sons, Los Angeles: J. V. Douglas, Vancouver: Mrs. Philips and child, Seattle; Mr. Fall. Victoria; Mrs. Nicholson, wife of Capt. Nicholson; Mrs. W. Smith, Vancouver; j\A. Be­ than, Vancouver; Mrs. J. L. Wilcox, Seattle. Thirty members of the crew were drowned. There was $275,000 in gold on the steamer. $100,000 of which was carried by passengers. H. H. Hart, who has spent 16 years In Klondike, lost $35,00(fc in dust. Some say that Capt. Foote reached a raft, but when ha saw the extent of the disaster jumped overboard. Explosion of Furnace Containing THREE MEN KILLED Port Townsend. Wash.. Aug. 20.— The steamer Queen has just arrived from the north, bringing news of one of the most appalling marine disasters on tfie Pacific coast. The steamer Islander, sailing from Skagway Aug. 14, when nearing the southwest end of Douglas Island at 2 a. m. Aug. 15, and running at full speed, struck a float­ ing iceberg and In less than 20 mlnutes went to the bottom of the deep channel, carrying men. women and children to watery graves. The Islander had 108 passengers and all were in bed when the vessel struck. The shock was so severe that many were thrown from their berths, and the wildest excitement prevailed. Word was soon passed that tbe vessel was doomed, and a general scramble tor the life boats ensued, many jump­ ing overboard and attempting to swim to the shore, the distance being short In the scramble to get Into tbe boats many were hurled headlong into the chilly water, which, according to the passengers arriving from the scene, seemed alive with human beings. Be­ fore all the passengers had left the vessel she gave a lunge And went down, bow first It Is known that 67 lives were lost It will be some time'before their names can be definitely learned, for the purser lost bls passenger list. A number of passengers of the wrecked steamer tell of their thrilling experiences during me disaster. M. Biumanton of Portland found a satch­ el with $14,000 worth of Klondike gold and rushed upon the deck as the ves­ sel was sinking, and Capt. Foote told him there was no Immediate danger. Later there was anoiner rush, and be was afraid to throw his satchel of gold down from the deck into the boat for fear that the weight of ths gold would steve a hole through the life­ boat and cause the loss of lives of those in the boats as well jeopardizing his own chances for safety. When he dropped tbe satchel from the deck he slipped into the water and was hauled to the boat thankful to sate his life. One man who had Just come from the Klondike, his name could not be learned. Is reported to have taken his portmanteau from the care of the purser, Mr. Bishop, and with the grip containing dust amounting to $40,000 in value grasped firmly in his hand, jumped from the sinking steamer into a boat close by and failing to reach th& boat be went down with bis treas­ ure. Pilot LaBlauc said that many of tbe passengers acted badly attempting to jump into tbe boats before they had been launched. Had It not been for this crowding and rushing he thinks all would have been saved, with the possible exception of thlse who did not get out of their state rooms. Among these were Andrew Keating and his two sons, Arthur and Julius, of Los Angeles. N. A. Belcourt, M. P., and Gen. C. Ray of Ottawa, were traveling com­ panions on a trip to Dawson. Mr. Bel­ court said the steamer was running at full speed, and while possibly no fog had been encountered up to or Immediately preceding the collision, a dense fog prevailed when the acci­ dent happened. The case of Mrs. Ross is a peculiar­ ly sad one. She left Victoria a short time ago to join her husband, who was recently appointed governor of tbe Yu­ kon territory. It Is only a few days since she left her parents In this city to take up her residence In the Yukon territory, sad a letter received a few days ago told of her plans for the fu­ ture. She left five of her children in Dawson, but. brought toe youngest, an infant, with her. According to stories told by some of the passengers, the proportion of the wopsen saved was mm.

The front axle, which is fixed, is carried well In front, and at each end the wheel turns like that of an ordinary carriage. Tbe fixed axle supports near tbe wheel an electric motor of three horsepower, which is of tbe latest design and en­ tirely inclosed by Ita circular casting and end pieces. The pinion comes out at the side next the wheel and engages with a large gear wheel which is fixed against it The gear and pinion are inclosed in a tight case. Thus each wheel Is turned independently by Its own motor, and the result is a great gain In simplicity owing to the suppression ot the jifferential. It is this system whlcftbas made the Krieger type a most success­ ful electric automobile. The truck is supported upon the front shaft by a curved spring. The whole system turns about a centra! pin and is steered by the band wheel above by means of a pinion and toothed sector. The accumulators are contained In a box which Is fixed in the truck below the carriage body and is arranged so that it may be easily slid out from the rear. The batteries are of tbe Fulmen type and have a total weight of 800 pounds, allowing a run of at least 65 miles on a single charge. Tbe two mo­ tors, each of three horsepower, give a total of six horsepower for tbe ma­ chine, which enables It to climb heavy grades easily. Hod.ome Gift Far C«arln«. When tbe ctar and czarina were in Paris a few years ago. they visited dur­ ing one afternoon the wonderful collec­ tion of Gobelin tapestries, and as one piece after another was shown them they did not fall to express tbeir warm admiration. Tbe czarina was especial­ ly captivated by one splendid specimen of art work, a gorgeous strip of tapes­ try representing Marie Antoinette and her children. She studied It long and earnestly and then praised It so highly that Felix Faure, who was at that time president of tbe French republic and who accompanied tbe two sovereigns, politely remarked that It would give the French people much pleasure if her majesty woulfi deign to accept this piece of tapestry as a gift from them. The czarina thanked him. and Presi­ dent Faure at once prepared to carry out his promise. Aa the Gobelin tapes­ tries are national property he knew that some formal action would be nec­ essary. and under ordinary circum­ stances, it is probable that the matter would have to be brought before par­ liament After consulting with the members of the cabinet however, who were just as anxious as be was to please the czarina, he decided that tbe easiest way out of this difficulty was to have an exact copy of this piece made, and accordingly he sent an order , to that effect to tbe gentlemen in • charge of the Gobelin tapestries. The work was begun at once and has just been finished, after four years’ steady labor. . The Queen In Anver.

Mich­ ael, of this city, will be pleased to learn that he has been offered aposition with the Montana Coal and Coke Co., at a good salary, with the promise of a raise and a steady job if both parties arc satisfied at the end of six months. Louis has been connected with the U. S Engineer Office, at Mammoth Hot. Springs, Wyoming. The work in the position offered him would be very similar to that which he has been do ing, and if he accepts it will eventually lead to his being made Assistant Super­ intendent Louis is to be congratulated upon the success with which he is meeting. If all boys would use their money for as good a purpose as did little Harry Miller, of this city, who won first prize in the 15 year old boys foot race Thurs­ day, they would never have any oc casion to regret it Friday was the 88th birthday of his grandmother, Mrs. Rhoda Helmer, of Castleton, of whom the boy thinks a great deal and the event was the occasson of a gathering of friends and relatives at her home. He wanted to remember her with some present this year, as he always does on her birthday, but he had no money. When he noticed that there was a prize offered for a‘ foot race for boys of 15 years and under, he resolved to enter It, and the a ay he cleaned up on all competitors was a caution. The 82 that he won, was used to buy his aged grandmother a present, and the pleas­ ure that be took in being able to re­ member her was greater than bls pride In winning the race, and it foee with­ out saying that the gift was most high­ ly prized by the aged lady. whole NOiMO3< STREET (ARRIVAL LARGELY ATTENDED IN THIS CITY LAST WEEK. The Rain Interfered With the Sports Somewhat. Good Order Prevailed and no Accidents Happened. The Carnival has come and gone and the city has settled down to the usual routine of business. Rain interfered considerably with the program and doubtless detracted from the attend­ ance, but despite.it there were doubtless more than 5000 people in the city .on Thursday. The crowd was very order­ ly for such an occasion and no serious accidents happened.

The balloon ascensions both days were excellent, Thursday flie balloon went up in a rain. There being no wind it went almost straight up. The para­ chute was wet and Mme. Meixell fell through two or three hundred feet of space very rapidly before the parachute opened. It looked for a moment as though she would land on the tele­ phone wires on Main street, but in­ stead of this she came between the wires and the buildings. The para­ chute caught on the top of Spence’s shoe store and the lady was suspended in the air In front of Dr. Lampman’s dental office, where she was rescued by Joe Weber’s heroic act in getting a lad­ der and escorting her down to terra firm a. The moving pictures were also very interesting and drew a large crowd. The performance of the Quinn trio, and the trick bicycle riding of Prof. Giddings, of Kalamazoo, also added much to the amusement of the crowd. The music by the Hastings city band was highly praised by all. » The fireworks Friday evening drew a large crowd and were very attractive. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Saturday Jacob W. Sage and Mrs. Susin Wetzel, of this city, were united in marriage at the M. E. parsonage by Rev. Bullen. Both have many friends who wish them much joy and happi­ ness in their new relations.

Those who live continually at the Ex­ position do not tire of its festivity and grandeur, for every day presents a new programme and a new interest To participate in this wondrous cele­ bration of a century’s achievements in the western world must be accounted by every one who has a proper sense of appreciation as a privilege to be val­ ued beyond price. Many Important days have been an­ nounced for observance at the Expose tion, among them the following: whom he Is said to resemble-wW speak on the resources of Florida. The orator of the day^ will be Charles TarlcbUI, Esq., of I^nsacola, Fla., one of the finest speakers in the South. The presiding officer will be Colonel Thomas M. Weir of Tampa, special commissioner to the Pan-American Ex­ position for Florida. Appropriate music will be Interspersed. This programme may be elaborated If the Press Association of Florida, 500 jn number, can attend on the date designated, Sept IL designated, Rochester Is to’ have a special day at the Exposition, and Saturday, Sept. 7, has been selected as that day. A train service will be arranged for that date that will comfortably accommodate 25,000 people, and specials will be run over the Central, Erie, Lehigh Valley and West Shore direct to the terminal station at the grounds. The fare has been cut for that day to $1.15 for the round trip. An elabo­ rate programme will be arranged by the Exposition officials in honor of the Flower City people. The National Association of Build­ ers has arranged with the Pan-Ameri­ can Exposition to have Sept. 11 set apart ■ ns Builders’ day. The idea in mind Is that such a day wlll.be the means of bringing together at the Buf­ falo Exposition builders from all parts of the country, who would naturally have a special Interest in the build­ ings, as well as the Exposition itself, and who would also find much pleasure through assembling in fraternal fash­ ion. The National Association does not propose to hold any convention meet­ ings, but advantage will be taken of this gathering to have one social af­ fair. possibly a banquet, to which all builders present on the day Indicated will be welcomed. No attempt will be made to secure reduced rates of transportation espe­ cially for this occasion, as reduced rates may be negotiated for from al­ most every section of the country up­ on fully as favorable terms as could be arranged under any special plan. Associations and individuals are there­ fore recommended to make their own rates with their local transportation companies or agencies. Headquarters will be at the Builders' Association Exchange building, corner Court and Pearl streets, Buffalo. Sept. O. The members of the Spanish-Ameri­ can War Veterans’ Association are to hold a reunion at the Pan-American Exposition on Monday, Sept 9, and the day will be known as Spanish-Ameri­ can War Veterans’ day. Exercises of a patriotic character will be held in the Temple of Music. Many distinguished officers of the Army and Navy will be present The music at the Exposition on Spanish War Veterans’ day will all be of the patriotic order, and there will b* dress parades and drills by Uncle Sam’s fighting men who are at the nalldern' Day, Sept. 11. The Polish population in the United States is very large, and the special day at the Pan-American Exposition, Sept. 12, which has been fixed in their honor, will undoubtedly attract many thousands of them. Buffalo Is one of the great centers of Polish population, and many Poles are prominently Iden­ tified with the indus'MT* ‘ >us! ness and politicalInterestsjpf the F. They are very active In creating nu interest In the special day and are determined to dnnke' It one of the great successes of the Exposition. N£w Jersey, one of the proud origi­ nal States of the Union, has a building among the State and Foreign buildings of the Pan-American Exposition, and her great Industries and splendid re­ sources are displayed In a most.comprvhensiye manner In the great ex­ hibition buildings. The people of New Jersey have good reason to feel proud of the showing made by their State at the great New World’s Fair, and they will manifest It in a high degree on Friday, Sept. 13, which has been des­ PMKDEMT M’EHILEY. . ignated as New Jersey day at the Ex­ position.

TALK OF MARRIAGE. i A mon may remark on his Intention to marry at some indefinite future time, •when prudence or other considerations may make it possible or advisable, without having, as a rule, to run the gantlet of a chorus of impertinent and1 stupid would be witty remarks. But should a girl be bold enough, or, rather, natural and simple enough, to say the same thing what would be the result? •Why. every one knows that she would be promptly sneered out of counte­ nance. And why? Is it immodest for a wom­ an to express a determination to enter into a state which we are being contin­ ually reminded Is a natural and honor­ able state, while It is modest and prop­ er for a man to do so? Such a distlne.tion would never be drawn except for the "cheapness” to which reference has been made. If a man wants to marry, he can mar­ ry. If the first woman he asks refuses him, he has only to ask a second or per­ haps a third or fourth. It would be safe to guarantee that within a month' any man of fairly respectable life and position and appearance who cared to make the experiment could marry in his own class, could marry probably a woman much superior to himself. But what about the girl who intends lo marry ‘some day?” Is she not in a very different position from the man? Here is a girl of good character—much better thau the man's, probably—aver­ age Intelligence, average good looks. Theoretically she is free to marry whom she will, but Is she? If she re­ ceives one distinct offer of marriage, she has had more than her share, ac­ cording to the probable average. The fact that by an unwritten law a woman must not take, and, lndeedr does not want to take, the initiative has very little to do with the ejtremely limited choice which modern conditions impose upon English women.—Nineteenth Cen­ tury. A bill to rejieal municipal woman suffrage was lately Introduced in the legislature of Kansas. Both the judi­ ciary and local judiciary committees reported against the bill. On Jan. 25 It was brought up in the house and was defeated without a roll call and amid “a ripple of amusement” It re­ ceived hardly any votes. Kansas women have now had munic­ ipal suffrage for 14 years. Several years ago a letter of Inquiry as to the results was addressed to the chief jus­ tice and the judges of the state su­ preme court AH of them concurred in substance with Judge W. A. Johnson, who wrote: “In consequence our elections are more orderly and fair, a higher class of officers are chosen, and we have cleaner and stronger city governments. "The legislature of Kansas is elected by men alone and could have repealed municipal suffrage without fear of po­ litical opposition. But the legislators, after 14 years’ experience of it, have no wish to repeal it,-and the attempt merely aroyses amusement" — Wom­ an’s Journal A Kansas paper recently had an obituary notice in which occurred the following passage: “As the shades of night descended he blew rippingly over the smooth bosom ot the dark river.

Nvhe was sent abroad by the Harrison tafto^nistiation to study the bubonic plague, which had then made its ap>earance in some European cities, de­ ’ -dares that there is grave danger of the '.plague invading this country, since it already has a foothold in San Francisra, where the authorities seem to be in/"different to its presence. He also claims that the health authorities in jffew York, New Orleans, Philadel­ phia and other coast bities are not as ^watchful as they should be, and do not -®em to act as if they comprehended the gravity of the situation. for His Products. It is the stock argument of the Free­ Traders that Protection is of all things inimical to the interests of the farmer. They grudgingly concede that the man­ ufacturing industries thrive under Pro­ tection, but they point to the trusts as the legitimate result of the Protective policy, unwilling or unable to see that the relation bf Protection to the trusts is simply this: Protection allows Amer­ ican industries to exist The trusts, so far as they are hostile to the general good, are abuses of this condition, not its legitimate or intended effect The remedy for any evil caused by the trusts is not Free-Trade, but regula­ tion. Under Free-Trade there possibly would not be any trusts. There wouldn't be much business of any kind. Amputation of everybody’s legs is not the most sensible remedy for the habit of kicking people. Legs can be regulated without being taken off and especially without depriving the inno­ cent of something to stand on. The Free-Traders have always con­ tended that the farmers didn’t need anything to stand on, and lots of farm­ ers honestly believe they would be bet­ ter off without Protection.- What do they think of Germany’s agrarian Tar­ iff designed to Protect the Gegnan farmer by the imposition of heavy duties? If Protection helps the Ger­ man farmers, why' not theAmertcan? Of course, the Protection afforded is different in kind, but the same in effect. This country doesn’t import farm products and Germany does. \The American farmer is not in need of Protection, except in isolated cases from neighboring countries, from com­ petition in his own products. But when the workingman has no wages he has no flour and meat and vegetables, and that’s what the farmer has to sell, and he doesn’t want to depend too much upon the foreign market for his sales. The peculiar speciousness of the Free-Trade argument lies in its appeal to class cupidity. The prosperity of each class depends upon that of all. Wheat at 82 and com at 75 cents on the other side of the globe may appear an. ideal condition from the farmers view. But it is much better to have 81 wheat and 50 cent com with money in the pocket of the American consumer to buy it—Kansas City “Journal.” lie school system lacks, and its need grows more apparent every day. We cannot teach religion in our public schools. But we ought to be able to teach a system of morals that would have the sanction of all.classee, and be acceptable to all, and „which . would be taught as thoroughly as any branch of instruction. To be sure there is a moral side to much ofjthe teaching in the pub­ lic schools, but l systematic teaching of morals is not attempted, and it should be, we believe, from text books that would be as'much a part of the course of study as mathematics, and as thoroughly taught W. J. Bryan states that Imperialism ii to be the paramount issue In the next campaign, while a Tennessee con­ gressman claims that the trick can be turned with trusts and the tariff as an issue.

Goodyear. i'i Chattanooga, Tenn., Aug. 26.— Henry Noles, a negro, was yesterday burned by a mob of citizens for crim­ inally assaulting and shooting , to death Mrs. Charles Williams, wife of a prominent farmer near Winchester, Tenn., last Friday. Admitting his crime and asking his friends to meet him in glory, he met his fate with a groan. He was captured early yesterday morning at the water tank near Cow­ an, Tenn., and was taken to Winches­ ter by his captors and placed in the county jail. Sheriff .Stewart made haste to barricade the jail and pro­ tect the prisoner. Soon an angry mob of several hundred men gathered, but Assistant Atty.-Geh. Matt N. Whitaker appeared and made a speech to the crowd, urging him to assist him in allaying excitement and upholding the majesty of the law. Be promised to reconvene the grand Jury today to in­ dict the negro promptly and^have him speedily tried at the present term of court, assuring the crowd that bis con­ viction and legal execution were a foregone conclusion. This appeal was supplemented by Judge J. J. Lynch, CapL W. P. Tolley and others. No sooner bad their appeals been made than several hundred citizens from the neighborhood where the crime was committed came up an augmented the crowd to thousands. They swept forward upon the jail, overpowered the sheriff and his deputies, took the prisoner and started at 10:15 a. m. for the scene of the crime, 12 miles distant. The mob was determined, and it seemed that almost the entire popula­ tion for miles around had turned out to see the fate -of the wretch. The procession followed the mob to the Williams home. Arriving at a point in sight of the scene of the crime, the negro was placed upon a stump and given a chance to make a statement He mounted to the stump stolidly and laughed as he began his statement He said: "Tell all my sisters and brothers to meet me in glory. I am going to make that my home. Tell my mother to meet me where parting will be no more.” He was then asked as to jyhether anyone else was Implicated in the crime. Noles stated emphatically there was no one implicated but him­ self. "Why did you kill Mrs. Williamsr was asked. * "I Just done that because 1 had noth­ ing else to do.” He was taken from the stump, bound to a tree by chains and his body saturated with oil. At 1:40 p. m. a match was applied and instantly the qulveririg body was enveloped In flames. Fence rails were piled about the burning body and soon life was extinct. The negro made no outcry at any time and died as stolidly as a stoic. ’ A horse named Broncho, which was purchased by the Newark board of health for <15 six years ago. has out­ lived its usefulness after having been the indirect means of saving many Uvea, and will be retired.

Van Wormer, well known in south end society circles, was arrest­ ed yesterday accused of fraud and lar­ ceny. Several merchants hav’r been swindled of late by receiving tele­ phone orders for goods to be delivered at houses where families were absent, and later the goods disappeared. Sat­ urday night orders were telephoned tn to send groceries to the home of T. E. McGarry, who is out of town, with instructions to leave them on the back porch. The bouse was watched and Mrs. Van Wormer was seen coming from the porch with two parcels in her arms. She claimed she had stepped into the porch to fix her clothing; which had become disarranged. She had two parcels, so she says, and lala them down in the darkness and acci­ dentally changed one of them for the parcels left by the grocer. She claims she can easily prove her innocence.. Her husband is an engineer, and the family is in comfortable circum­ stances. POVERTY HIS END. John B. Owen Died in the County House—Once Was Rich. Coral, Mich., Aug. 27.—John R.

"Some time ago I bad occasion to ob­ serve an interesting change In the hab­ its and temperament of'a crane which had been picked up In the swamps ot Arkansas,” said'a gentleman from one of the towns on the Mississippi river, "and the change was startling too. The crane waa placed in a small park which was literally filled with English spar­ rows. These pests did not like the vis­ itor from the lowlands, and they made dally assaults on the poor bird. The crane was a pretty fowl. long, slender, pure white and with the stately stride of a tragedian. The sparrows would sys­ tematically swoop down on the crane in droves, and the attacks were dvee and vicious. The crane stood the assaults with In­ difference for awhile, but finally, the fowl from the swamps figured otft a method of retaliation, and it was effec­ tual.

At the end of the ninth inning the game was called on account of the lateness of the hour, with the score standing a tie, each nine having scored six runs. Considerable unneces­ sary jangling was indulged in by both teams which should be discouraged.

The steel arch, which is to be sixteen feet broad and nine feet high, for Quaker Brook crossing of Main St, has not yet arrived. It is undoubtedly de­ layed by the steel strike. When it ar­ rives, the brook is to be straightened and the causeway widened to fifty feet, and a sidewalk built on the western ride.

William Ernst of Nebraska says in Prairie Farmer: When 1 came out west, more than a quarter of a century ago, ft did not take many years to find out that It was more profitable to pasture the grass around me than to burn it in the fall. Thte pasturing of the grass was done so successfully that none was left to burn or to pasture. Finally 1 was compelled to break up the land and farm it. 1 raised large crops of small grain, but soon saw that it was a money losing game and tried to seed my land back to grass. 1 found it very difficult to get tame pastures to stick, and If by accident I got a good stand of timothy or clover the latter would not last, and the former after a good crop or two would get what I called sod bound and would not produce a load of hay to the acre. 1 know now why the timothy did no good after a notice OF nr.AKis<; < “Uncle Joe” Cannon, who has been to Washington for the last few days, |g so delighted with the way in which he avoided writing the record on him­ self s short time ago that he is tell­ ing -every one he meets.

I believe that this crowding causes them to rest less perfectly than they would if not crowded, and thus their strength and productiveness are lessen­ ed. Again. I think this crowding causes them to u\ erboat and thus become more apt to take cold. To prevent three evils I bore holes five-eighths of an Inch in diameter, eight inches apart from cen­ ter to center, for Rocks, seven inches for Leghorns, to the upper sides of the roosts aud stick wooden rounds about 15 inches long in tho holes. If the rounds are only a few Inches long, a hen will sometimes fly up between two hens and light on top of a round.—Ste­ phen Barasdale. Annual Excursion NORTHERN MICHIGAN.

EDITORIAL NOTEJ The entirt coni crop of the United States this year promises to be 1,300, 000,000 bushels, which is 700,000,000 less than the average. Next October all women in Norway pver 25 years of age, having a yearly in­ come of over S80, will be permitted to Vote for local and school officers. ‘ . The high price of potatoes is turning attention of those whose diet calls for starchy foods to rice, and the pro­ ducts of Indian corn as a satisfactory mibstitute. Rice especially is claimed bo be a better food, far cheaper than potatoes at present prices, and much more readily digested than potatoes. It now seems to be settled beyond dispute that It Is the moequito which is responsible for yellow and malarial fevers. Proof of this is said to be Incontestible. Under these circumstances our readers are hereby advised that it Will be a crime less than murder to kill every mosquito caught in the act of at­ tempted blood letting. If Japan and Russia shall ever try Conclusions at arms Korea will un­ doubtedly be the theater of their opera­ tions at the start Russia wants Korea. Japan is just as determined that the Ctar shall never possess that country. 'There is a bitter feeling in Japan against Russia, and only a suitable oc­ casion is needed to fan this spark of enmity into a flame._______ The Marconi system of wireless tel­ egraphy now enables trans-Atlantic liners to communicate with the shore ends of their route when they- are six hours out at sea. This practically shortens the time which vessels are out of communication with the land Ify 12 hours, and for the swiftest liners makes the time actually on the ocean and away from all intercourse with termin­ al points to lees than five days. It is well known that some European nations were ready aud even anxious to interfere in behalf of Spain at the time of our little unpleasantness with that country. The deterring influence Was the attitude of England, which country then gave Europe notice to keep hands oft. It now transpires that threat Britain had 63 war vessels in commission ready for offensive opera­ tions to back up her position.and keep cur European enemies from interfering While wc settled matters with the Dons. Statistics show that Canada gained less than 10 per cent in population dur­ ing the last ten years, while the repub lie of Mexico has gained 15 per cent in that time, and now has 13,570,545^peo­ ple. The progress Mexico has made in the last quarter of a century has been little short of marvelous. The material resources of that country have been .built up to a marvelous extent. The firm and yet liberal and progressive government of President Diaz has done great things for our sister repub­ lic. ________________ France has undoubtedly gone farther than any other nation in the develop­ ment of submarine torpedo boats, and now boasts that in two years these boats will give her a practical com­ mand of the English channel, and that England's navy will be powerless’to prevent her. In a recent trial, one of these boats was sent over a course of Seven miles, under water, and de­ spite the watchfulness and vigilance of the French cruiser against which she was operating in the test, and though the cruiser’s crew were on guard looking for the coming of the boat, yet the submarine vessel succeed­ ed in attaching a dummy torpedo to the cruiser’s side, and in getting away again without being discovered. ADDITIONAL LOCAL I>r. Lowry is the possessor of the first automobile owned in the city it having arrived from Chicago Monday. The machine is made by the Loco Mobile Co., of Bridgeport, Conn., and is pro­ pelled by steam. This machine was brought over from Chicago to Grand Haven and made the run from Grand Haven to Grand Rapids, a distance of about thirty miles, in one hour and fifty minuses. Everyone admires themacbiner but some of the horse® seem to be a little shy in its presence. The '‘Cuban Red Spider” in front of W. E.

In maintenance, as In construction, wa­ ter is the great enemy of good roads. The secret of success in maintenance Is to keep the surface smooth and the aide ditches open, says Professor Ira O. Baker in Illinois experiment station bulletin. There are several machines or devices which axe very effective in filling the ruts and depressions and In keeping the surface smooth. Different tools are beet under different conditions. The writer has seen a heavy stick of tim­ ber shod with a steel plate and drawn by two horses used for this purpose with great success. He has also seen a railroad rail so used. The rail Is usu­ ally 14 or 16 feet long and Is drawn by four horses. When the ground is mel­ low and loose after freezing and thaw­ ing, the rail will smooth the road down nicely and do It more rapidly than the road machine, since It cuts a wider swath. One round trip Is sufficient for any road. The time when the work is moat advantageously done Is compara­ tively limited, and therefore one rail should not be expected to cover too much road. In the late spring, after the ground has settled, the roads should be pre­ pared for summer travel by being shap­ ed up with the road machine or road grader. When this work is to be done, the ground Is comparatively dry, and consequently the heavier road-scraper Is required and can be handled on the roads. It Is somewhat unfortunate that this tool Is ordinarily called a road grader, since the name has possibly led to a misconception as to an Impoi'taut use of the machine. As an instru­ ment of road construction this machine Is used to give a crown to the road, but as an instrument of maintenance it THE ROSE OF LIFE. At the department of agriculture some thorough tests hate been recent­ ly made of samples of coffee to de­ termine the extent and nature of coffee adulterations. The New York Even­ ing Post assures us that the results are entirely reassuring to coffee lovers. Tho expert In charge finds that, while very little pure Java or Mocha berries find their way Into the American mar­ ket, almost if not quite as good fla­ vored beans are had from other trop­ ical places, Porto Rico and Hawaii being mentioned as furnishing good coffee. The adulterants, when used, are for the most part harmless. Pro­ fessor Wiley, the testing chemist, fur-' ther declares that the use of coffee In moderation should not do any Injury to adults, even if continued a full life­ time, but mentions tn detail what moderation means. This is a cupfulonly half at it coffee, the rest hot milk —at breakfast, none at noon and a small cup of black coffee after dinner. On some systems undoubtedly coffee may act as a poison, and such persons it. "*** The of coarse should not drink 11 average grown person in normal health may use it moderately without barm. ' _________ Ckie*«o C1*M Hm a Bi rtMay The Chicago Woman’s club has passed its quarter century milestone. The little band of 21 women who met 25 years ago to found an organization for “mutual sympathy and counsel and united effort toward the higher civilization of humanity and general philanthropic and literary work" has grown far beyond the dreams of Ito founder, Mrs. Caroline M. Brown. It was In 1876 that the first officers were .named and the first modest cir­ cular printed. From the beginning the club members were determined that their work should count The Inten­ tion has been well carried out Indeed, so admirably and thoroughly has the club grasped every scheme it has un­ dertaken to work out that success has attended its every movement The men of Chicago have long since learned to capitulate when they discover the powerful Woman’s club behind any ad­ vocacy of a reform. Against the great moral forcejrepresented In the union of nearly 1.000 women which the club roster shows today opposition would be useless.—■Chicago Times-Herald. The amateur photography crane, which is spreading in Turkish home* steads, opens up possibilities, It !■ said that the women, whose enforced seclusion makes them seize upon any diversion with enthusiasm, have taken to the pastime and are photographing everything tn sight. One of the Turkish correspondents of a French paper tells an entertaining bit of gossip tn regard to one Turkish household which has been undergoing most violent' disturbances, all because the other women saw their chance ot getting back at the favorite of their, lord and master.

New York, Aug. hl.—R, G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review cf trade says: Even in cotton goods, which have been the sloweEt to■' respond to the vigorous tone of domestic trade the past week, has brought clietinct im­ provements. Prcssuie at Fall River being removed, the print cloth mar­ ket became rtiong, while in the bleached goods divfelon the gains were still more proneunced. In tome cases the only drawback is the lack of available supplies for immediate de­ livery. Such evidence of better things in the market for goods naturally gave a firmer tone to the raw material, which was further supported by the unsatisfactory weather in Texas. Against losses by drouth in the largest state there is compensation in the greatly increased acreage throughout the entire cotton belt, but an advance of $3 a bale since tbe advance began does not seem perceptible. There is a decree*;e In taking hy northern spin­ ners of 200,000 as compared with the average of three preceding years. Somewhat • lower quotations for wheat are not surprising in view of the general tendency to increase esti­ mates of the crop far beyond the quan­ tity indicated by official figures of con­ dition. Another weakening Influence is the slight decline of exports below tho record-breaking movement in the first two weeks of August Shipments for the week, however, were still phe­ nomenal, aggregating AH307.302 bush­ els, compared .with the 2,804.567 last year and 3,179,197 Irf 1399. Moreover, this gain occurred despite the inter­ ruption to shipments from the Pacific coast by the strike of grain handlers. These figures ol exports omit the movement from Canadian ports, usu­ ally included in other report. August opened with commercial rky overcast by storm clouds that threat­ ened serious injury fo;-tlie steel indus­ try. while drouth in the southwest aroused pessimistic predictions that business was on-the verge of a severe setback. Thousands bf idle strikers, together with a profitless season in agriculture, meant inactivity In man­ ufacture, trade and transportation, ac­ cording to the prophets of evil.

Stevens, the one the steward and the other the head waiter of the Siwanoy golf club, were found today in r room which the men occupied in the attic of the club house which is located on the outskirts of Yonkers. They had been murdered with a butcher knife which was found on the floor of the room and this had many as a dozen cuts being located been repeatedly plunged into them as by the physicians who were summon­ ed. The men were negroes, and Warn­ er Simms, a colored waiter, is held on suspicion of knowing something of the murder, while Frank Dunnlngton, an­ other negro who called at the club yesterday looking for work is under detention. The police found in the room the steel portion of a putter. It had on it blood and hair and this the police claim belonged to Simms. The handle was found down stairs and this handle had the name "Simitas" on it. ' The cash box which w*s in keeping of Scott cannot be found. The box con­ tained about >U?0. Simms says he be1 eves that burg­ lars entered the houre 'and after searching below stairs had ascended to the attic and tried ito rob Scott and Stevens, that one of them was awak-! ened and that the burglar used the knife. Scott came from Baltimore, Md., Stevens from Petersburg, Va., and Simms is from this city. The Biwano golf club is a very ex­ pensive one and 250 of the fashionable residents of Yonkers are members. ----- V For^nfanta and Children.

It is impossibi- m sink or drown in Salt Lake but many bathers have been found on the cq.iifthe water, choked to death by th<- arc unulation of salt in the mouth ;-.:\d nostrils. Although it is not geni rally knowd the accommodations for i .uhure al Salt I^ake far surpass any other watering place in America. After leaving Ogden, Utah, 1 went . irthward again to the Yellowstone National Park, in Montana, Idado and Wyoming. This is another of nature’s great wonders and was set aside by congress in the year 1872, to be uflbd as a national park forever. This park has an area of 3,350 square miles, with an average height of 8,000 feet above the sea level, the sufface of the land being very irregular. National park ha-*- within its area more of the natural • ••niers and a greater variety of scenvry than any similar extent of ground .; the world. The town of Cinnabar • t-ar the northern line of the park is it■e.ched by a blanch of the Union i’ u railroad. From this tovyn stages :e run to all the important points in •■ park, the principal ones being the. A! am it loth Hot Springs, Alt. Everts, Gold-.n Gate. Norris Geyser Basin, l i.

We were ■ amped out alone for three days, but the fourth morning of pur stay we ■ ••re surprised to find a large party of tourists from New York camped out in) a short distance from our tent. They were a jolly crowd and during ■1 r stay there we all managed to have a very enjoyable tiine. There were three girls in the party and as they did not understand the proper method of catching trout, my parduer and I were compelled to trade our trout for their cakes and other dainty morsels of bjod. The girls informed me that they had heard much about Alum Creek and the wonderful things its waters would do, and asked me if 1 knew of any of these incidents. I told them haw some lazy tourists from Phila­ delphia had sprinkled the ground be­ tween the hotel and the creek with the water and had shortened the distance nearly one half by* so doing. They seemed to believe this incident for they asked me if I was familiar with any more of the creek’s wonders. I then told-them that a girl came there from Chicago on a sight-seeing tour, wearing a No. 8 shoe; after camping out on Alum Creek for two days and bathing her feet in its waters, she returned home wearing a pair of No. 2 gaiters. After I had recited thia incident one of -he girls suggested that it would be a HA5TINO3, MICHIGAN, JEPTEMBER 12, 1901. most excellent plan for me to bat my head in Alum Creek for a time two. ■ After spending two very pleasant weeks in Yellowstone park I went to Boise City, Idaho, remaining there just long enough to receive my salary from my paper in Chicago. I then crossed the state of Idaho and visited Virginia and Carson City In Nevada. While at Carson City, I Joined a party of tourists who were going over the Sierra Nevada mountains. We sjient three weeks in the mountains hunting and fishing, and then left for Sacramento, California. From Sacramento 1 went directly to San Francisco, arriving in that city with more money than I knew what to do with, so I finally resolved to spenil it in sight-seeing In and around Sap Francisco and Chinatown.

Pale and'emaciated and with little semblance of his former self a man dropped wearily into a hammock in front of J. O. Smith's house Thursday afternoon. It was Clyde W. Francis, the news­ paper man who disappeared from De­ troit last spring, and who was lately located in Liverpool. HU little son ran out of the house and then back again to tell his mamma that there was a man out in the ham­ mock w ho looked like papa. He had walked In from some railway point dis­ tant from Portland. His head was covered with bandages and he bore littie. resemblance to the man who was once handy with his pencil and keen of wit. He cannot talk about his trip and his mind is clearly shattered. He is ■sick in body as well as in mind, and it is but a question of lime when it will be all over. He wrote that he wanted to come home to die and he is home. —Portland Review. a Birthday Party. Birthdays come and go just like all other days only as we pause iu our daily round of duties, to make the day more memorable by some kind of happy event. According to previous arrangeinent^a very pleasant surprise was giv.su at the home of Mrs. Nellie-Bump onjwednesday. Sept. 4th., to remind het of the high esteem in which she is hejl in the vicinity where she was boot aWd has spent 34 years vf.her life. She seemed glad to meet so many of her friends, and the time was well spent in pleasant conversation. To emphasize the kindly feeling already manifested a beautiful couch was presented in be­ half of the company by our pastor Bev. Johnson, who gave a short history of the kind of furniture used in the early days of our forefathers, so unlike the soft upholstered chairs and couches in use today, thus reminding us of the many improvements that have come with the civilization of this country, that our forefathers never enjoyed. Nellie expressed her thanks in her own pathetic manner and joined with us in singing that old familiar hymn “Oh could I speak the matchless worth." After which our attention was called towards the dinimg room where a well tilled table stood waiting to satisfy all who wished to partake of the good things provided. As happy hours fly quickly so the afternoon was soon gone and we turned our steps homeward, wishing that many happy days may come to her in this life, and in the life beyond, the crown that is promised to all the finally faithful. Fraternal insurance. Insurance Commissioner Barry in his annual report has the following to say regarding fraternal insurance: “The tendency of fraternal benefi­ ciary societies to place their business upon a safer and more permanent ba­ sis as evidenced by the serious agita­ tion by some societies of the question of the sufficiency of rales and the ac­ tion of others in boldly meeting the problem, is noted with much satisfac lion. These societies have an aggre gate of 8375,000,000 of insurance in force in Michigan, and the importance of their permanency to’the people of this state cannot be overestimated. ‘tClosely allied to the problem ol rates, and, in my opinion, of equal im­ portance to all concerned, is the prop­ er investment of the assets of fraternal societies. This feature of the business should be safeguarded in the cajeful manner, and every possibx striction be placed upon the investment at reeerve funds."

Miss Ellen Terry is the president, aud the membership exceeds 300. The guild's work consists chiefly In collecting new garments, clothing ot every description and money to be di* tributed among the theatrical poor. Every year two badges are given, one for obtaining the most hew members, the other for sending the most gar­ ments during the year. In 1899 Miss Terry offered a gold thimble as a prize for the sender of the most garments made by herself. ■. This thimble was won by Mrs. Arthur Mor­ rison, who contributed 112 garments, 44 of whlcti she made herself.

There are not a few men working farms in this country who would make a good trade If they could exchange a little-of their human Intelligence for a like amount of animal Instinct. The in­ stinct of animals and birds leads them to co-operate for mutual protection; it teaches them never to make war on each other; to provide In summer the food which will be needed In winter, or migrate at the proper season. This same Instinct Is a sure indicator of changing weather, of coping storm, frost and flood. It further makes them true to their mates, kind and consider­ ate to their progeny and, to a very large extent, unselfish In their treat­ ment of their kind. Human intelli­ gence. while rated as of a higher order of development than animal Instinct, still lamentably fails to insure in many of Its possessors the good qualities' above enumerated. ■Mi pain, trouble and anxiety.

STOCK FOR THE NEW FARM. The j>olnt should be remembered by any man opening up a farm In a new region at a)l remote from market that be will make headway very much fast­ er by keeping stock of some sort than he will by trying to raise grain to sell. In the newly opened sections pasturage and meadow land are very abundant. We recall the case of an old fellow who 40 years ago located on the Minnesota prairies. All bis neighbors went to raising wheat to sell, which they had to haul 40 miles to market He broke up only just enough of bls farm to pro­ duce what grain he needed for his own use and devoted all hls time to the care of cattie, which buyers took at hls door. The result was that be made $5 where bls neighbors made $1 and made hls money with one-half the work. THE BEST AND THE WORST.

The fact is the red man does not like to work, in which respect he resembles very many of his white brothers. Then, from time Immemorial the squaw, by custom and tradition, has been regard­ ed as the bearer of burdens and the worker of the red man’s household. Some of the tribes In the Indian Terri­ tory, a small remnant of one or two tribes In Wisconsin, with a few of the Chippewas of northern Minnesota, represent about all the Indians which have adopted modern methods of agri­ culture successfully. Rocks and Shoals ■: 'M THE SEA OP Business Correspondence ARB SAFELY PASSED WITH THB Smith Premier Typewriter THE RUSH TO THE CITIES. One of the most discouraging fea­ tures of American social economics to­ day Is the persistence with which poor people will crowd into our municipali­ ties, where conditions for existence and the rearinglof families are wholly bad, when a wipe and beautiful coun­ try region would welcome them with the means to live and on abundance of room, pure water, pure air and good food. Instead they swarm like rats In the festering tenement slums of the cities, a menace to the health of th© city and not Infrequently to Its peace and good government. TO AID YOU.

The corn crop has one enemy In the eastern states which the west Is free from—namely, the crow. We have never known a western cornfield to be raided by crows after the crop was planted and just as It was coming up. while in the east the crow sits on the fence waiting for the corn to show Itself; this because of the greater abundance of crow food in the west Still, at the rate crows are multiplying Id the west It will not be long until this question will hsve to be met by western corn growers. MISTAKEN IN THB BIRD. We note several references In the pa­ pers of the west to flocks of passenger pigeons being seen at various points. We think that the observers In these cases are mistaken tn the identity of the bird and that what they thought was the wild pigeon was tht? golden plover, a bird which migrates In flocks and which has the same irregular line of flight as the pigeon. It Is doubtful If there Is a single flock of wild pigeons left north of Kentucky Kad almost equally doubtful If there tre any south «f that line. Post Office Information.

Port Huron, Mich., Sept 9.—To­ day witnesses one of the worst dis­ asters on the lake. Piled up on shore are many thousand dollars of vessel property, and the chance for getting them off are slim unless large sums of money are expended in dredging. Strange to say, In connection with this great calamity, there is no loss of life. The life-saving crew took off 38 people during the night, and the oth­ ers were beyond danger. The barge Amaranth, owned by Capt. Kotcher of Detroit is a total loss. She was load­ ed with lath, as was also the Steamer Pauley. Their cargoes are strewn all along the shore. Ever since Saturday night the Wawatam has been endeav­ oring to release herself, and at 5 p. m. she succeeded in getting Into the lake. The tug Sarnia, owned by the Reed Wrecking association of Sarnia, Ont., which went out to the assistance of the wrecked boats. Is pounding on bot­ tom, deserted by her crew, but will be saved. Capt. Plough of the life­ saving crew came ashore last evening with eight men and reported no loes of life and stated without a doubt it is the worst wreck that he has wit­ nessed in years. Heroic efforts will be made to save all boats with the exception of the Amaranth from de­ struction. Tugs have been ordered and will commence operations. The crews of "202” and the Wawatam stood by their boats and did not leave them. They were In no danger and life-savers went to them, but they re­ fused assistance. Wreckers will be on the sc( e this morning and an esti­ mate can then be made. Marine men are present from Chicago and other porta, and they pronounce the scene one of the most remarkable without loss of life. In an interview with a sailor on board the Amaranth, he said that this wreck was predicted at Middleton by rata leaving the sbfp. and shortly after leaving port a canary bird flew on the shoulder of the captain, which he said was a sure sign of disaster. The crew of the Amaranth predicted to a man that they expected a wreck. Many thousands of people were on shore yesterday and viewed the wreck and work of the life-savers. She Has Two Husbands.

From St Paul I went to Bismark, North Dakota and from there to Pierre, south Dakota. These towns, although the most important ones in these two states, are not much larger than the city of Hastings, and they seemed so dead at the time of my visit that I could muster courage to remain only one day in each city. After leaving Pierre I went to Sioux City, Iowa, where I met a couple of young fellows who were going to New Orleans by “flat-boat,” making the trip down the Missouri river to St. Louis and from that city to New Orleans down the Mississippi river. I consent­ ed to join them and make the trip, but as we lost most of our outfit in 3 col-’ lision one night, saving nothing but our lives and the boat, we decided to abandon the trip when we reached St. Louis.

Without the stim­ ulants that had been administered the pulse grew gradually weaker until 2:15 o’clock Saturday morning he breathed his last.

A hymn, was suug and prayer was offered over the (lead body. That was all. Only the iihmediate family and friends and political assistants of the lat£»- president were present. The scene there was pathetic in the ex­ treme. Then the body was borne out to the waiting cortege on the brawny shoulders of . eight sailors and soldiers of the republic. The cortege passed through solid walls of living humanity, bareheaded and grief stricken, to the city hall where tne body lay in stilts this afternoon. There a remarkable demonstration occurred which proved how close the president was to the hearts of the people. Arrangements has been made to allow the public to view the body from the time it ar­ rived at about 1:30 until about 5 o’clock, but the people were wedged into the streets for blocks. Two lines were formed. They extended literally for miles. When 5 o’clock came 40,­ 000 people had already passed and the crowds waiting below in the streets seemed uudiminished. It was decided to extend the time until midnight. Then for hours longed the streets were dense with people and a constant stream ' flowed up the steps of the broad entrance Into the hall and pass­ ed the bier. When the doors were closed it is estimated that 80,000 peo­ ple had viewed the remains, but thou­ sands of disappointed ones were still in the streets. The body will lie In the city hall until morning. It will be taken to the' station by a military escort to morrow morning and at 8:30 the fun­ eral train, consisting of seven cara. will start for Washington over the Pennsylvania railroad. Mrs. Mc­ Kinley, the president’s cabinet and relatives and'friends of the dead presi­ dent will accompany the remains. Mrs. McKinley bore up bravely to-day during the service at the Milburn house and Dr. Rixey. her physician, thinks she will be able to support her trying part In the- state funeral at Washington. The Service Begins. ^RESIDENT ROOSEVELT. fullering voice cried to au automobile driver who had been kept within easy reach of the Milburn house aince the attempted assaseination: "Hurry for Dr Mynter and Dr. Mann as fast as God will let you.” Then all who heard him knew that a critical change be­ come in the condition of th®‘^ing Pre-ident Dispatches were sent to the absent cabinet offloers acquainting them of the sudden a>.nn«> There was a most morxeu in the pmddenf.

His will be done; not ours” and then he said, speaking to no one apparently •'Nearer my God, to thee, e’en though « be a cross, to my conetant prayer.” Then his mind began to wander, his life being prolonged for hours by the administration of oxygen, until during out of the short periods of conscious- It was just eight minutes before the opening of the service when a covered barouche drove up to the house bring­ ing president Roosevelt and^Mr. and Mrs. “Wilcox itt'whose home 'KTto a guest. The president looked very grave as ho alighted and turned to assist Mrs. Wilcox from the carriage. His face did not relax into a smile to the salutations of those nearest the carriage, but he acknowledged thegreetings silently and with an incltna^ tlon of the head. Word passed up the well filled walk that the president had arrived and those waiting to gain en­ trance fell back making a narrow lane through which Mr. Roosevelt passed along to the house. The service had already begun when there was a clatter of hoofs down the avenue and four high stepping black noroes earns into view arawm* tne femne .vhlcb imr_Hw-£Mket ui cue aeau presia(*nT.''ifwaB smeavy vehicle without plumes of any trap* pings to relieve the dead black. Th® horses too were - not plumed or caprlsoned and all four of them wer® black from nose to tip of tail. Two men were on the box, the driver with long lines to the tandem pairs, and thn groom with folded arms sitting motion­ less. The hearse halted at the corner to agait the conclusion of the services. Outside the house there was a half hour of silence and waiting. Within the house of death was woe unspeak­ able. The Starry Banner He Loved. The body lay in a black casket on a black bearskin rug. Over the lower limbs was flung the starry banner he had loved so well. The flowera were few as befitted the simple nature of the man. A spray of white crysantQemuips, a flaming bunch of blood red American beauty roses and a magnlfibunch of violets were on the casket. That was all. Behind the head against a pier mirror between two curtained windows rested two superb wreaths of white astors and roses. These were the only Cowers in the room. The family had taken leave of their loved one before the others arrived., Mrs. McKinley, the poor grief-crushed widow, had been led into the chamber by her physician. Dr. Rixey, and had sat a while alone with him who had supported and comforted her through all her years of wedded’ life. But though her support was gone she had not broken down. Dry-eyed she gazed upon him and fondled his face. She did not seem to realize that he wan dead. Then she was led away by Dr. Rixey and took up her position at the head of the stairs where she could hear the serVlce. Preaident- Ftooaevelt’a Sorrow. Just before 11 o’clock President Roosevelt entered, coming into the room from the library. After passing into the hall he had made his way* around through the sitting- room be* hind into the library. There was an Instantaneous movement in the room as the president appeared. The pro­ cession was still passing from the south side around the head of the casket and back between ft ana the members of the cabinet seated at ita side. Everyone rose and all eyes were turned toward the president. He moved forward again with the tide of the procession to his place at the head of'the line of cabinet officers. He held himself erect, his left hand carrying his silk hat. Those who were coming toward him fell back on either side to let him pass. Te paused once on twfee to shake hands silently but there was no smile to accompany hia greet­ ings. He too, like the man deep down In his seat against the wall/who had forgotten to rise when the president of the United States entered, seemed to be restraining a great grief. When President Roosevelt reached the head of the line he kept his face away from the casket. The infantryman guard­ ing the dead stood before him rigid an a statute. Although the commander of chief approached until he could have touched him the soldier did not salute. ' The president spoke to Secretary Root or perhaps it would be more precise to say that the latter spoke to him. The president appeared to be steeling him­ self for a look into the face of him whose death had made him the first ruler of the world. The tension in the room was great. Everyone seemed to be waiting. The minister of the gospel stood^with thp holy book in his hand ready to begin. Perhaps It might have been 60 seconds. It seemed longer. Then the president turnedii and at the same time advanced a step. He bowed his head and looked down upon the man whose burden and re­ sponsibility he had taken up. Longhe gazed, standing immovable save for­ t twitching of the muscles of the chin. Bs he labored, with heavy breath to repress his emotion. At last he stepped back. The pastor was at the door leading Into the hall, a station whence his words could be heard at the head of the stairs. The signal was given and there welled out from the hall th® beautiful words of “Lead, kindly light’** sung by a quartette. It was President McKinley's favorite hymn When the singing ended the clergy, man read from the words of the 15th chapter of the first Corinthians. AU had risen as he began and regained standing throughout the remainder of the • service. Again the voices ros®‘ with the words of "Nearer, my God to Thee.” the very words President Mc­ Kinley had repeated at intervals of consciousness during the day of agony before be died. As the music diet away the pastor spoke again. "Let us pray," he said and every head ’felt upon its breast. He began.his Invoc®. tlon with a stanza from a hymn sun.? in the Methodist’church. His prayer was as follows > "Oh God our help in ages past» Our hope for years to come ■ Our shelter from the stormy blast. And our eternal home." We, Thy servants humbly beseech Thee for manifestations of Thy favor as we come into Thy presence.

The users of the article in this country paid enor­ mous prices, always restricting its use to the lowest minimum possible. All this is now changed. The American processes of manufacture have practic­ ally driven these countries out of the field, while it has reduced the cost to the consumer more than 75 per cent by the aid of simpler and cheaper ma­ chinery, and are now making a better cement In eight hours than England, France and . Germany could in four weeks with their ancient, cumbersome equipment, and that, too. at less than one-half the cost,—to say nothing of transportation. Instead of importing nearly all of her Portland cement, America will soon be exporting enor­ mous quantities of this great commer­ cial commodity. It has long been known that in Mich­ igan there was raw material in quan­ tities to furnish tbe world’s supply of Portland cement, the only question be­ ing its manufacture at a cost warrant­ ing the enormous outlay in the con­ struction and operation of the plants (factories) for its manufacture. The discovery of the new process for mak­ ing tbe cement was a long^tep for­ ward in this direction, while the in­ creasing demand for the article stim­ ulated enterprise, and capital has been forthcoming, so that at the present time^there are ten plants completed, eight of which are running day and night, turning out over 6,000 barrels of the finished product, daily: Five other plants are in the course of construction some of which are nearing completion, and locations have been selected for eight more, all of which are contiguous,. to great deposits of the raw’ material, and on which the work will be rapidly pushed. The completed plants in the state are located as follows: The Alpena Port­ land Cement company, two miles east of the city of Alpena, Alpena county; The Elk Rapids Portland Cemeut com­ pany, at the village of Newaygo, New­ aygo county: The Coldwater Port­ land Cement company, one plant one mile west of the city of Coldwater, and one at the village of Quincy, both in Branch county; The Bronson Port­ land Cement company, two miles east of the village of Bronson, in Branch county: The Peerless Portland Ce­ ment company at the village of Union City, in Branch county; The Penin­ sula Portland Cement company, offices in the city of Jackson, plant 13 miles south at the village of Woodstock, in the northwest comer of Lenawee county; The Omega Portland Cement company, four miles north of. the vil­ lage of Jonesville, in Hillsdale county. There is also a plant operated by the Michigan Alkali company at Wyan­ dotte, in Wayne county. The capital stock of these ten cor­ porations aggregates 87,420,000. The average cost of each plant will be about 8465,000 and new improvements and buildings are constantly,being added at large expense. The daily capacity of the ten plants aggregates 8,500 bar­ rels of 380 pounds each, or an average for each plant of 850 barrels every twenty-four hours. A fine vein of bituminous coal was was discovered by workmen on an Ot­ tawa county farm, at a depth of six feet. Owners of farms in the vicinity have all started prospecting.

Eighty-eight years ago September 10 occurred the memorable battle of Lake Erie when the American fleet under Perry cap­ tured, the entire British squadron, an unprecedented occurence in history. The “Lawrence” was sunk and after remaining in the water 48 years the noble ship was raised by the govern­ ment and from the wood of its bulk were made two canes. ‘The one in the possession of Mrs. Bartlett was first owned by her father, James B. Long­ head, at one time mayor of Erie, Pa., On silver plates affixed to the cane are the following inscriptions: “Com. O. H. Perry’s Victory, Lake Erie, Sept, 10, 1813;” “Taken from the Flag­ ship Lawrence, March 5, A. D., 1836;” “We have met the enemy and they are ours.” The initials J. B. L. standing for Jfimee B. Longhead, the original owner of the cam. are engraved on a silver plate. The other cane was pre­ sented to Preside?, t Wm. Henry Har­ ridan.

With the closest scrutiny it becomes evident that the bee does not, like other creatures, bouse its tongue In its mouth, but neatly folds it back beneath its head. Bumblebees, when disturb­ ed. have a way of threatening with their jaws, while the honeybee bas the more direct method of settling in­ truders with her sting. The jaws of the bee ore very credit­ able organs and can give quite a for­ midable nip. Catch a bee in a net and see bow viciously it will bite at the meshes, working Its jaws sideways in­ stead of up and down. We call this wonderful Implement of the bee a tongue, but In reality it is more than tills, for the whole arrange­ ment consists of two slender filaments called maxilire, the under lip and the actual tongue. If a drop of honey lies near the surface of a flower, the slen­ der. active tongue, darting out from the case formed by the maxlike, licks It up with the same ease that a dog licks a plate. Should tbe tube of the flower be elongated the bee has at command another length of tongue, which is shot out from within and shuts up like a telescope when no longer wanted. To appreciate fully this delicate organ you should watch the bee sepa­ rate it Into Its component parts and clean it out. s Tbe lengthening process of the proboscis, as the tongue and its allied parts are Sometimes called, is accomplished by a series of springs and hinges. In addition to this telescoping power, the tongue is a hairy member,1 the hairs arranged in rings, the longest ones toward the center. They assist In lifting in the nectar and In pumping It into the mouth. Thence it goes to tbe honey sack.—Chnutauquan. Once upon a time there lived two kings, Ethelstane and Ethelward. Now both of these kii^gs, simultane­ ously, as it chanced, unearned of uni­ versal peace, aud proposed ns with one voice the disarmament of nations. Hereupon each of tbe kings, Ethelstane equally with Ethel ward, fell to felicitating himself upon having been the first to conceive of the project, "It is my idea!" quoth Ethelstane. "Pardon me, it is my idea!" protest­ ed Ethelward. At first the kings were courteous, though insistent, but presently their blood warmed, neither being at ail given to yielding,*until they were final­ ly quite beside themselves with anger.

In a balletic issued by the Illinois experiment elation I*rofeMor Ira O.

No road, whether earth or stone, can long remain good,without drainage. Drainage alone will often change a bad road to a good one, and the best road«may be destroyed by the absence of proper drainage. Water is the only agent that destroys earth roads.

No road, however well made otherwise, can endure if the water collects or re­ mains on it Prompt and thorough drainage is a‘ vital essential In all road construction. A perfectly drained road will hav(e three systems of drainage, each of which must receive special attention if the best results are to be -obtained. This Is true whether the trackway be iron, broken stone, gravel or earth, and It is emphatically true of eartli. These three systems are undcrdralnage, side ditches and surface drainage.

Tuesday evening tbe re­ mains were taken to the Pennsylvania depot under military escort and thence conveyed to the McKinley home at Canton where- the funeral will be held today. I' At the Churches. Sunday the life and many noble qual­ ities of President McKinley were eu­ logized from the pulpits of the various churches of this city, the sermons at the Presbyterian and Episcopal church­ es being devoted exclusively to tbe life of President McKinley and to his cow­ ardly assassination. There was no preaching service at the Methodist church, owing to the absence of Rev. Bullen from the city to attend .confer­ ence at Muskegon. Fr? Younan at St Rose's church and Rev. Woodin of the Baptist church, both referred to the high character and ideal life led bj' the late President and paid glowing'trib­ utes to his true Chriatain career. Rev. Brown, Emmanuel Parish. When the news reached us that a desperate attempt had been made to assassinate the honored President of these United States we were deeply overpowered by the alarming thought that any one could be found sodas tardly, so blind to the courtliness, good­ ness, love of purity, of children, of simple things and persons, as even to harbor the slightest tinge of enmity against William McKinley. Our Sav­ ior’s teachings concerning demoniacal possession offered the only explanation; otherwise, and surely on no ground, could there be malice against our Pres­ ident. His last appearance at Buffalo was a grand proof of his confiding trust in the people over whom, in the Providence of God, he had been placed. All, without distinction of party, look­ ed upon him as more than ordinarily their ideal of a good man, as son, sol­ dier, husband, statesman and President. To men’evetywhere, the eminent lesson of his noble life love is of God and coun­ try. While others talked of harsh measures and severity, not according to law, not a word escaped bis lips against even the monster who had so cruelly stricken him. He honored tbe Lord’s Day, reverenced God’s house. To sons and daughters, to husbands, to all he is the Illustrator of filial love, domestic affection, noble statesmanship aud grandeur of character. He stands one of the most complete in every way in the exalted list of I'reeidenls. For others be cared. We read how he kindly watched over a Page In Congress and who is now a missionary in the far " est. And so ended the life of a man an example of American citizenship, remarkable In his lendemes. elevation of sentiment, fitted to taka rank with any of his predecessors in office and public esteem. We wonder not that pur people are angered when so worth­ less a. wretch could take away from them so noble and worthy a President. Ours it must be to cherish his ideals of life and policies, that though dead he may speak to ns and that as from now on. in their seasons, on hia mound may grow beautiful flowers, tended by will­ ing hands, so from tbe record of his life 5^2?, i* *' J!” read’s t”01™ for higher themes, things and policies.

The Supreme Baler, In his all* wise judgment, has called from our midst, our honored and be­ loved President, Wm.

Almost Ninety Years of Age and First Pastor of the Presbyterian Church in this City. The Rev. Zerah T. Hoyt, one of the oldest and most widely known clergy­ men of the county, died at the residence of his daughter, Miss Emily R. Hoyt, 25 Franklin street, Saratoga Springs, Thursday afternoon, August 29. In 1855 he returned to his birth-place and assumed the pastorate of the Con­ gregational church at South Greenfield. For thirty-eight years he labored with untiring devotion in the interests of this congregation. Of the value of his services in' our county there are many grieved hearts today that could speak with great eloquence. His long term of work made him the sole spiritual ad­ visor of many of his people from their cradle to their graves. Such labors as his may not be measured by mere worldly standards of fame, nor reward­ ed by the trifling gifts earth is able to bestow. The little church at South Greenfield is already doomed to disso­ lution. Few of his immediate co work­ ers remain, but for all time the influ­ ence of his noble and unselfish life will continue to endure. The last ten years of Mr. Hoyt’s life were passed in quiet seclusion at this village. His four children, Mrs. Frances H. Scott, of Philapelphia; James T. Hoyt, of New York, Emily R. Hoyt and Edward H. Hoyt, of this village survive him. The funeral was h'eld on Sunday af­ ternoon at 2 o'clock at the Mouse and at 3 o’clock in the Congregational church of South Greenfield. The Rev. H. M. Gesner, assisted by the Rev. William Durant. D. D., ofliciated. The death of the Rev. Zerah T. Hoyt was a great loss not only to his imme diate family, not only to the Presbytery of Albany, of which he was one of the oldest and most respected members, but to the community at large. - Bom In Greenfield, Saratoga county, on De­ cember 3, 1812, and graduated with honor from Union College, then at his prime, in 1840 Mr. Hoyt felt called up­ on to minister to the spiritual needs of his fellow-men and immediately enter, ed Union Theological Seminary. Com­ pleting his studies there in 1844 his deep earnestness and rhetorical powers attracted the attention of the Presby­ terian congregation at Stamford, Conn., who called him as pastejf. The offer was a flattering one for a young man just commencing his ministerial career, but the same unselfish and unwavering devotion to his Master that marked his whole life led him to refuse the pleas­ ant pastorate and take up instead the rough and perilous life of a home mis­ sionary on the far western frontier. The awful Black Plague was at that time ravaging the scanty settlers amid the yet unhewn forests of Michigan. So terrible was the scourge that there was a lack of volunteers to minister tothe needs of the suffering people. There, Mr. Hoyt felt, was the proper place for him. Establishing his head­ quarters in the little town of Hastings, Barry county, Michigan, he soon erect­ ed, largely by the work of his own hands, a church edifice at that place which is still standing. Here for ten years his labors among the pioneers and Indians met with fruitful reward. In 1846 he married Sarah M. Foote of Johnstown, N. Y„ to whose loving as­ sistance no little of his success was due. From Saratoga. N. Y„ Sun. Rev. Hoyt will be well remembered by the older citizens of this city and county and. his death will be felt almost as a personal loss to many, whoremem­ ber his kindly ministrations. Rev. Hoyt married many of the early resi­ dents of our city, and as tar as is kndWn, none of them were ever di‘ ­ vorced. st Rose’s Church. The jaon-Catholic lectures opened in St Rose’s Church last Sunday evening with ar attendance tliat taxed the ca­ pacity of the house almost to the very limit, the largest attendance ever wit­ nessed in the church. The attendance continues large each evening and th e audience in wrapt attention hang onto every word coming from the lips of the eloquent speaker. The course of lect­ ures will be brought to a close on Sun­ day evening next at 7*J0 o’clock. C. J. Kennedy, Pastor. ECONOMIZE TIME AT BUFFALO How to Get Five Day, Sight Seet«< At Pen American Into Three. Those who attend Expositions oftMk complain of the loss of time entailed in going to and fro between their hotel and the grounds, and would ofteft spend more time and money in the Ex* position, if opportunity offered. Trav* elers who intend visiting the Pan-Amer­ ican this year at Buffalo, however, newt have no trouble on this score. The Ex* position is fortunate on having right ’ betide it a building which is in itself an object of intense interest, and one of the sights of Buffalo—we refer to StaU let’s Hotel on Elmwood avenue, over­ looking the grounds. This wonderful' building, although only three stortet high, contains over 2100 rooms and can accomodate over 5000 guests. Its din­ ing room will seat 1200 people to a meal without crowding and so perfect is tha organization, management and equips ment that parties of excursionists, of­ ten numbering into the hundreds, aretaken in and furnished with accomoda­ tions without creating so much as a. ripple of excitement. From its towerat and terraces a magnificent view is to ba obtained of the whole panorama of tha Pan-American, while the scene at night of the illumination of the ’grounds viewed from Statler’s will never be for­ gotten. • The erroneous impressions so fre­ quently fostered by runners, etcM oft trains and elsewhere about the difficulty of obtaining accomodations and pay­ ing fearful prices for them can all be* thrown to the four winds of Heaveix for Statics can give you a clean, cobn fortable room with breakfast and even­ ing dinner for 82.00 and 82.50 a day, and guarantees to take good care of all who come. For those who do not care to board at the hotel, good rooms may­ be obtained at 81.00 to 81.50 per day* and first class meals at 35 and 50 centa each may be enjoyed at Statler’s down­ town- restaurant in Ellicott Square^ Statler’s, therefore, is a valuable adjuDafc to the Exposition and intending vlsitoiw by availing'themselves of its conven-. iences can save themselves both time and money, and greatly enhance the, pleasure of their trip. . Returned From the Philippines. Joseph J. Emery, formerly Associat* ed Press representative, of this city*, returned from the Philippine Island** where he has been for nearly a year* early this morning. Mr. Emery left Manila early in Au­ gust. He hasn’t been ill a day since he left* th Is city to represent the Associ­ ated Press at Manila. “The change of existing condition* on the islands has been most surpria* irig,” Mr. Emery said. “Our author^ ities are bringing order out of the chao* with wonderful success. -There Is no longer an open rebellion except on two small islands, and the people are rapid-* ly accustoming themselves, to the new. order of things. The Federal party has had much to do with this success, although General McArthur thinks that his proclamation bad much to do with the pacification of the islands. < The only 'occasion which led to talk of rebellion was heard in Manila—tn connection with the judiciary. It be* came necessary to dismiss most of the. native judges, who were notoriowdycorrupt, and put Americans in theirplaces. Then, again, In the filling ot other public offices, a great many­ Americans found a place. They, Hks the natives, had passed a civil service examination, the Americans in Eug« lish, the Filipinos in Spanish. Then when it came to employing the latter in the auditor’s office, for example*, they could not be used as they did not know English. This gave rise to some dissatisfaction, which was fanned by the discharged judges. But it really never amounted to very much. There are many and good opportu-. nitiefl for intelligent and industrious young Americans. Civil engineers ea*. pecially are in great demand. Another great question which cauat* much vexation is the Chinese labor question. At present the Chinese art excluded. Those who have the oom* mercial and industrial development of the islands in view, however, want th* restriction removed as the Chinaman la a better laborer than the native. Rapid progress is being made in th* school system, over 1,000 schools hav­ ing been established where English the fundamental language. “Altogether,” Mr. Emery conclude^ “we are conducting a great eapertmA with the Filipinos, such as has MWt been attempted before.

McDonald of New York, the alienist, who was brought here for the defense by the Erie county Bar as­ sociation. and Dr. Arthur W. Hurd, superintendent of tbe Buffalo State hospital. The alienists were with the assassin for one hour and a half, and when they left both declined to dis­ cuss the case. District Attorney Pen­ ney and bls entire staff spent all of Sunday at the city hall preparing for the trial of Czolgbax, which will begin before Justice While in part three of the supreme court today. Mr. Pen­ ney had conferences with the alienists and with City Chemist Herbert M. Hill, who submitted his report upon an examination of the bullets and re volver. Buffalo, Sept. 24.—Leon F. Czolgosz was placed on trial yesterday morning charged with the murder of President William McKinley. He entered a plea of “guilty," which was subsequently changed to "not guilty" by direction of the court. Justice Truman C. White, one of the oldest and most experienced of tbe supreme court judges, was on the bench. After the -opening of court and after the prisoner had pleaded. Justice Ixjran L. Lewis, senior counsel for the defendant, announced that, together with his colleague, former Justice Robert C. Titus, and Mr. Carl­ ton E. Ladd, they were ready to act in behalf of the prisoner. “I thought it best," he said, "for my colleagues and myself that I should say something regarding our presence here as attorneys for the defendant. At the time my name was suggested I was out of the city and knew nothing of what was transpiring here with ref­ erence to the selection of counsel for the defendant When the circunb stances of my selection were told me I was extremely reluctant to accept. But the duty bad been imposed, and 1 v-onsiaereu u my duty in all the clrsumstancee to defend this man. "I ask that no evidence be present­ ed here—that the court will not permit the acceptance of any evidence unless it would be accepted at the trial of the most meager criminal in the land.” “I am familiar with ne circum­ stances,” said Justice White in reply, "and I wish to say I will give you ev­ ery assurance that the prisoner will have a fair and impartial trial, and that during the progress of thte trial he will receive such treatment as the law demands in any criminal case.” The work of securing the jurors was then undertaken with a celerity that was amazing. Before the day was over the entire panel had. been sworn, the jurors had listened to a description of the Temple of Music, where the crime occurred, had seen photographs of the interior of that structure and had been told by three surgeons what caused the deata of the president and the ef­ fect of the assassin’s shot upon the various organs of the body. They had • also learned why the fatal bullet had not been located. The presentation of the govern­ ment’s case began shortly before 3 o’clock when Assistant District Attor­ ney Haller began, with much deliber­ ation, to address the jury. He spoke very briefly. "We shall show,” said he, “that for some days prior to the shooting this defendant had premeditated the shoot­ ing of the president He knew that on tbe sixth of September the pres! dent would receive the populace in the Temple of Music; that on that day he went to the exposition, got into line with the people and approached the president; that he had a weapon con­ cealed in his hand, and as the presi­ dent extended his hand in kindly greeting he fired the fatal shot “He fired two shots, in fact One of them took effect in the abdomen and caused that mortal wound which resulted in the president's death. That in brief is the story we shall show you. Witnesses will tell you this story, and I am sure that when you have heard the evidence you will have no diffi­ culty In reaching a verdict of murder in the first degree.” Dr. Herman Mynter followed and his testimony was of Importance inas­ much as It brought out the fact that the reason why the fatal bullet had not been located at the autopsy was because of the unwillingness of the president’s relatives to have the body further mutilated by their instru­ ments. Dr. Mynter and Dr. Mann, who followed him, both testified that tbe primal cause of death was the gun­ shot wound in the stomach. One effect of this wound was, they said, to cause tbe gangrene to form in the pancreas and the spot of poisoned tissue was as large as a silver dollar. Tbe prisoner Csoigosx during the morning evinced no interest whatever fn the proceedings, but as the testi­ mony was introduced he paid more attention to what was eaid and looked at the various witnesses closely.

In winter, or migrate at tbe proper season. This •ame instinct is a sure Indicator df changing weather, of coming storm, frost and flood. It further makes them true to their mates, kind and consider­ ate to their progeny and. to a very large extent, unselfish in their-treat­ ment of their kind. Human iqtelllgence, while rated as of a higher order of development than animal instinct, ■till lamentably falls to Insure in many of Its possessors tbe good qualities above enumerated. jMk Wb.

Bneevelit of Grand Rapids, cut on right cheek and badly bruised. Albert Coon of Cadillac, badly bruised. 7 The collision occurred between an extra passenger train carrying Sunday excursionists from Cadillac to Petos­ key and return and the regular freight running north from Cadillac It was the excursion train’s last run of the season. A load of 41 pas­ sengers had been carried to Petoskey. On the return journey the train was within a few miles of home when, without the slightest warning, the headlight of the freight rounded a curve a abort distance away. Both engineers reversed engines, but the trains were so close together that the collision could not be avoided. The engines of both trains were reduced to scrap Iron, several cars of freight piled up In an Indistinguishable mass behind the freight engine, and the baggage car of the excursion train was lifted bodily and piled on top of one of the locomotives. The'front end of the smoker was also badly smashed. Engineer Zimmerman of tbe freight was caught In the wreck of his own engine and his left side waft terribly scalded, several bones broken and In­ jured Internally so severely that he died at 1 a. m. As he was taken from the wreck he gasped: “It’s all my fault; I forgot, I forgot.” It appear? that no train orders were issued to the conductor and engineer of the freight, but that verbal orders were given to the .conductors, who transmitted them through Brakeman Wltkop to the engineer. Those orders were to rup the freight train on the siding at Missaukee Junction, six miles north of Cadillac, to wait for the passage of the excursion train. This Zimmerman never thought of do Ing, and for some reason was not re­ minded of it by either the conductor or brakeman. The freight proceeded at full speed, and the mistake was never discovered until the .headlight of the passenger train was seen ahead. Zimmerman’s forgetfulness Is supposed to have been caused by the fact that the passenger was an extra train and there was usually no neces­ sity ot arranging to pass it. Hiram Wltkop. brakeman on the freight train, died at 12:30 at Cad: iliac. ing the muscles.. There is nothing 1 .ke it in the world.

NO. 23..HASTINGS, MICHIGAN, OCTOBER 3, 1901. lift 01 mt ROAD IrtLi UPS a * ID DOWNS OF TRAMPDOM. As Seen by Leslie Flint, of Nashville, A Boy Reporter, Who has Tramped Over Most of the Country y .i.-e nights of travel brought us to , dee of the great Mojave deeert..called Valley-of Death—where . id to pay an old Mexican 82 for ' • r. hr monopolizing a small spring ,. The Mexican informed us that ,tl( nearest place we could find wa»er at Indian Tom’s ranch, in the i ii t ra! Mountains, a distance of one .hundred and forty-six miles. An A u-rican who was placer-mining in g vicinity informed us that we could : d plenty of water at Coyotte Hole, a.; gave us the directions- to find it, iV,. believed the latter and at sunset it-led on our journey. All night the •i continued to move along slowly, bin continued pounding convinced tieni that is was “go on or get a rap ,viih the persuader,’ and daylight over:o,«k us hi an open barren waste. That was my first day on a desert sincerely hope that I may never have to experience another day like that one. Above the low mountains in 11... distance the sun rose like a ball of Tire. Here and there appeared puffs of wind, whirling sand aloft with a funit. I like motion, and in the far north these gradually increased until a cloud of dust hung like a curtain against the sky higher than the highest mountain. We had to make a halt and camp on . this desolate waste of land until the sin. went down again. We muffled the heads' of the beasts with gunny sacks to screen them from the driving dust and sand. This desert sand will pene­ trate most anything, and will cut the skin, if exposed, like a needle. We lay in our tent all day and by evening we were off again over the great expanse ot desert, having exhausted all Mir water. j The next morning we came to a small hole of brackish water, where o«r burros and ourselves filled up on alkali water. We traveled all the next day and‘the next night, as it was not very windy, and the third morning found ns al Coyote Hole, where we received a good supply of pure water. From Coyote Hole we traveled along the sloping rim of Death Valley uati! we reached the ranch of Indian Tom. A day’s journey from here brought as to the Anuagosa river, along the banks of which wtrf staked the first gold clahns in *49. Leaving there we took the trail leading through the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, and by night we came to the Colorado river, where we found an old Mexican running a goat ranch, and who also ferried tour­ ists across the river, charging outland­ ish fees. : We traded our burros to this greaser for a boat that suited our fancies, and early next morning after getting our camping outfit aboard, we started down the river. There were plenty of swans, geese and ducks along the shores and our time was well occupied in hunting and fishing. The first night we put up at a small hamlet called Needle Hills, where I made up a gross of cement to be used in mending any­ thing and everything, as my finances were getting rather low. We passed through the Dome Rock range of mountains and will state that a i>erson can find -a finer collection of petrifac­ tions, crystals, mountain spar, agatized woods and agate in these mountains than you can at any other place in the United States, and I waa not slow in getting my share of these specimens. We canvassed the town of Yuma, Arizona, with our celebrated “Scotch Iron Grasp” cement and made good money. Before we left Yuma we pur­ chased a supply of cheap jewelry and continued to float down the Colorado, river to the Gulf of California. stop(ping at the small towns to sell jewelry to the Mexican aenoritas, and succeed* ed in trading our whole supply of brass for £ooil American gold. At Port Isabelle we had to leave our boat to the mercy of the waves, taking it afoot across the sparingly settled country until we reached the Biver del Altar. When we reached this point my partner decided that he had seen enough of Mexico and its Inhabitants to ‘'hold him for awhile,” and so turned back northward toward New Mexdcc, leaving me to “explore” the wilds of old Mexico alone.

There are several reasons why the farmers get tired of patronbring the fiklmmlng stations, says O. W. Lohn Id Kansas Farmer. Sometimes we find a man at the station called the “oper­ ator." After having been acquainted .with this gentleman for some time we are forced to conclude that he was never cut out for the business and the position be fills. He is in the business Jlmply because be cannot find anything 'else to do that suits him. He takes very little Interest in his patrons and prefers that they stay aw-ay from the station as much nu poaafble. He never goes out to visit them and knows so little <6out the dairy business that he could not tell a beef animal from a dairy cow. He has learned barely enough so that ho can weigh the milk, run the ma­ chinery and do. the testing. I will say that I would prefer for him not to test my milk were I to patronise his creamery. The one aim of this class of operators Is to get the milk through the separator as soon as possible and to clean up so that they can have the rest of the day to loaf around town. If the farmer or milk hauler happens for some rea­ son or other to be .a little late with the milk some morning, this kind of an operator will Invariably growl and fuss around as though he were Running the universe and wanted every one to know it It, of course, would be unreasonable to suppose that a man of this kind would try to pasteurise the skimmilk, so the farmer takes it "home fully con­ vinced that the "blame stuff" is not worth much anyhow, in which he is right after it has been through our skimming station operator’s tank. This is the kind of men that preside at some of our skimming stations, and they are the ones that help to keep the price of butter fat down and make it disgusting for the farmers to attempt to patronise the creamery. It stands to reason that it would be useless to attempt to raise a good calf on the kind of skimmilk that is returned from such a station. Such an operator will not be careful to examine the cans as they come in, and the result is that the cans of tainted milk are turned right in with the sweet thus contaminating the whole mess of milk. Is it any wonder that the farmer stops sending milk to such a station? Any one with good common sense would do the same. The large com­ panies frequently make the mistake of hiring just such men as the ones 1 have described simply because they get them cheap. I am aaked a number of qoeeUtma repmllug irlltot. My. L. W. Urhty ot Ponnaylvanla 111 The National Stock­ man r.nd Farmer. When aball I now? Millet can be .own any time after corn planting up to Aopu.t In our latitude. I-Mt season we were la the rainless district, and the ground was as dry as powder for a few months, until the be­ ginning of August, when we had a shower. I then seeded two and onehalf acres, and "in about 45 or W days it cut over seven tons of excellent hay, and it made the growth with the aid of only "two very light showers. With plenty of beat and moisture it grows very rapidly. what variety? I tried number of varieties, but the German or Golden millet gave me the moat satisfactory results. How much seed to the acre? If seeded rather thick, it makes a finer growth and better quality of bay. It also is more likely to smother the weeds. But the weeds often make us trouble In the early sown millet The ideal method to get ahead of the weeds is to prepare the land In the spring and then allow the weeds to ger­ minate and harrow it thoroughly, allow another germination and then, about the middle of July, make a very fine seed bed and sow, and very few weeds will grow. But many times we want to use the land for other purposes or the weather will not allow. I often grow a crop of Canada peas or oats before millet, and when that is off disk the ground thoroughly and seed to millet, thus taking two crops in one season. I sow the seed broadcast Sow only clean seed. . . Is it hard on the land? Should I use stable manure or fertiliser? Yes, It Is hard on the land. Like timothy, it takes all its food from near the sur­ face. Being a quick grower, it needs plenty of readily available plant food, so I prefer to plow or work in well rot­ ted stable manure and qje a quick act­ ing fertiliser. A goodlkrtlllzer on my soil I found to be 150'pound* of 8. C. rock phosphate, 50 pounds nitrate of soda and 50 pounds muriate of potash. It makes a good soiling crop. For hay I like to cut it when the earliest heads have made seed. but the average beads are just in blossom. If properly cured, this makes a very palatable hay.

TWIN SILOS. General News. a Lifetime. I am moved to send you a little sketch of twin silos recently put up by a large dairy company in New Jersey. These silos are of large capacity, being 22 feet In diameter and 30 feet high in­ side. and made of brick and stone throughout. The plan Is that given by ITofessor The proper thing to do to treat each case on its merits, but perhaps the King in the Wisconsin bulletin on silos, with one notable exception. The doormost useful dressing to keep on hand for general purposes, Is camphor and elder ointment. Any chemist will sup­ ply you with such a compound, or It may be made by mixing one-half ounce of finely powdered camphor with four ounces of elder ointment. Another use­ ful dressing, especially when files are troublesome, is the glycerin and car­ bolic acid. In many cases it Is necessa­ ry to draw off the milk by means ot a teat tube or siphon.

Cork costs 8 cents a pound, but if you are drown­ ing half a mile from shore, its value would be “not what you pay for cork, but what cork saves you.” When a woman buys soaps she often con­ fuses the two values. She sees only what she pays. She overlooks what she receives. Now a single cake of Ivory Soap pays back from ten to twenty times its cost in the saving it effects. Test it your­ self!

While conwumptlon cannot be abso­ lutely prevented Its progress and prev­ alence can certainly be arrested by the observance of a few simple rules. Some of these are so obvious as to present no difficulty, while others are matters of education. Of the most obvious are the following: The avoidance of the spit­ ting habit, whether on the street, in the cars, on board ferryboats or excur­ sion steamers or in any public place. Unsuspected germs of tuberculosis of­ ten lie hidden In the matter expectorat­ ed, which, when dry, enter the lungs by means of the nostrils or the mouth. If, therefore, any one is obliged to spit, let him do so Into hls handkerchief. When spittoons are provided In saloons, of­ fices aud elsewhere, let them be well cleansed and disinfected at least once Let care be taken to have all work­ shops, stores and all establishments where work of any sort is done by day or b> night ventilated thoroughly and swept dally and the dust frequently laid during the day by sprinkling with clean water into which some disin­ fectant should be poured. Let the ceil­ ings, walls and all the woodwork be kept well dusted and the floors, sur­ bases, etc., scrubbed and disinfected at least once a week. Disinfectants are cheap, and for the above purposes one of the most effective and most easily procurable is a solution of chloride of lime. In private bouses the same process should be gone through at frequent in­ tervals; all the bedding, pillows, etc., should get as much airing and sunlight as possible, the rugs and carpets should be swept every day aud the mats well shaken or beaten every morning, but not in such a way as to scatter the dust round the neighborhood. The carpets should be taken up and beaten at least twice a year, and all should be subject­ ed to constant light sprinkling wflh some disinfectant that will not take out the color nor stain the material. Such a disinfection is sine chloride so­ lution. You can iwepare a powder that while performing the work of a sachet will drive away the moth miller as wellSjuff small bags are filled with It and htmg among the contents of a wardrobe they will lie reasonably safe.. Mix together six ounces of Florentine orris root and one ounce tonquin bean, doves, mace, nutmeg and cinnamon. Cut two ounces of fat salt pork in thin slices and fry brown.,. Cut one pound of veal In thin pieces. Season It with salt and pepper and roll it in flour. Take the pork from the pan and lay the pieces of veal In the hot fat. Let them fry until a good brown on both sides. Take up tbe veal and stir In the remainder of the flour, using two tablespoonfuls In all. When the flour Is brown, add one and one-half cups ot water, stirring until boiling and thick­ ened. When this gravy bolls up, put the browned veal into It and simmer half an hour. Add one^half cup of strained tomato and boll up once. In making up balsam pillows a small mixture of curled hair’will be found of distinct advantage. The hair keeps the needles from packing and renders the pillow more comfortable. The most suitable covers for balsam pillows ard made of pongee or washable linens, embroidered with suitable designs. How to Keep Healthy. If you do not accustom yourself to drink water regularly, you are liable to have the waste products of the tis­ sues of the body form faster than they are removed. Great weakness and langour on rising In tbe morning are gener­ ally due to a large secretion of these waste products, and the remedy is to drink a tumblerful of water, either hot or cold, just before retiring. This materially assists In the process during the night, and leaves tbe tissues fresh and strong, ready for the active work of the next day. ; The largest watch in the world ha* Bust been finished by a watch maauacturing company of Boston. The imammoth timepiece was built for a. jwatch company Ln Manhattan. i When placed upon Its aeven-foot ’pedestal the top of the timepiece will be fifteen feet above the sidewalk. To the pedestal will be affixed several ■long rods that will extend through tbe ‘sidewalk and be bolted to the cellar foundation. The watch has no back, that is a double dial so that the dials jean be seen at a distance of several flocks. The faces of the watch, in­ cluding the stem and ring, is about eix feet high. The timepiece had to be ■made unusually thick in proportion to the diameter, as the lights Inside could not be brought Into dose contact with the dials and works. ToIaIoI’b Careful Methods. Every moment of Tolstoi’s day is carefully portioned out. When he be­ gins a new book he settles the plkn of hls work; collects a great number of studies, and writes rapidly without giving much attention to details. When the new work, cleanly copied, appears on bis table it is instantlr Remodeled. The manuscript Is speed­ ily spotted all over with erasures and interpolations between the lines, at the sides, and at the bottom, and with, transfers to other pages. Whole sen­ tences replace others. The work, cop­ ied a second time, experiences a like fate. The same with the third copy. Some chapters are rewritten. • Post Office Information.

The art of properly buttoning a coat —any coat—is do It the other way— that Is to say that nine out of every ten of us button our coats the wrong way. We commence with the topmost button when we should commence with the bottom one. The frailest portion of a coat in respect to shape retaining qualities, no matter how well made, is the region of collar and lapels. The swagger merchant tailor always cau­ tions his customer to “wear it buttoned a few days, so that the collar may set properly.” Then, this admitted, it fol­ lows that tugs and strains affecting this part of the garment tenf: to de­ stroy its symmetry.

To Mexicans, American dishes seem flat, half raw, sour and unseasoned. Corresponding­ ly until one becomes accustomed to it Mexican cooking appears hot, oversea­ soned, cooked to. death and too sweet. >till, it is not difficult to learn to like Mexican food, and many Americans become so unpatriotic as to prefer it The climate of Mexico is very warm, excepting on the higher plateaus, but the country is subject to “northers”* lasting several days, when the trade in iced drinks suddenly falls off and men take to their overcoats. A single titin blanket on the lied is more than you need, tiniest there is a “norther.” Another thing about the hotel sys­ tem of Mexico struck me as being rather peculiar. The darkness of all hotels outside of the City of Mexico, is only slightly alleviated by one or two candles, and all guests are re­ quired to furnish their own matches, soap and other “extras.” The women of Mexico, as a rule, inake’docile and trustworthy wives, de­ ferring to the husband in matters which the American woman would set­ tle for herself. The women among the masses possess only the charm of ex­ treme simplicity in dress and the healthy, unrestrained beauty of figures that have never known a corset. They are well developed as a rule, having round limbs, fine busts and long abund­ ant hair. Many of the faces are beauti­ ful injyouth, but they age earlier than their white sisters do, either becoming obese and coarse, or shriveled with the loss of the plumpness which once made them attractive. . After leaving Hormosiila I crossed the country a distance of twenty-seven miles in a south-easterly direction to a rich gold-mining camp, o,wned and op­ erated by Americans. The mines operated by this colony are the oldest ones in Mexico today. Five hundred men are employed here in the mines, and although most of them are Ameri­ cans, they are married to Mexican ' women, and live in- Mexican adobe houses. I obtained a fine collection of rare specimens from some of these senoritas giving them jewelry in exchange. From this colony I started for Paso de lanoa, and while on the road I was caught Jin one of those lovely Mexican “showers.” I saw a small “dobey” house and resolved to try and seek shelter from the drenching rain. 1 ' rode tip to the door and knocked. I re­ ceived no reply, so I tried to open the door, but found that it was locked. The rain was coming down in torrents, so I did not wait on ceremony, but broke in a pane of glass intended for a window, and after tying my lariat around my waist so that my burro would not give me the “go-by,” I crawled in. As soon m I got in I took my bowie and cut the sheep-skin hinges on the door and let my burro in, m the ;; HASTINOJj, MICHIGAN, OCTOBER IO, 1901.

ARVILLA AND HER PETS. A Little Alabe ~ Arvllla is only , years old. but ever since she could toddle she has been at wur heels when there was any work to be done among the chickens at night, knd to be of some use was her delight. When she was only 4. she insisted on carrying a hen to a new* roosting place when her elders thought she could not. The word she used In expressing her triumph showed very close observa­ tion of the usual ways of hens when being placed on the rooat. She said, “Well, I did carry her, and when I put her on the roost she never crooked.” At showtime in fall and winter Ma­ jor, the cock in the picture, along with many other hens and roosters, bad to be washed several times, and our little girl never failed to have her sleeves rolled up so she could help. She knows all the good points of tbe White Wyandottes and can tell the right colon in Barred Plymouth Rocks. Two years ago a little Rock pullet recovering from a broken leg was her especial pet and was In her arms much more than any one of her dolls. At present her little dog comes first In her affections. To see the antics of the dog when little mistress Is away from home Is amus­ ing. One day It was the big doll pull­ ed out of its carriage and dragged around as much as to say: “Arvllla Is gone. You must play with me.” Then the little sunbonnet banging just low enough for Doltle dog to reach receives attention. If it can be dragged from C. H. BARBER, and Surgeons.

IWN Every perron acquainted with the Babcock test bus been frequently con­ fronted with tbe question, "What Bakes the milk test vary?' say, p. B t-ootey of the Massachusetts station Popular prejudice Is prone to Jump at the conclusion that anything so varlIble l> worthless. A knowledge of «ie principle, of the Babcock test, «jended exi>ertenee in its practical work­ tag. and cliMe comparisons of it. re­ mits with exact chemical analysis bare convinced every one who has taken tbe trouble to investigate the..natters that the te.t la thoroughly relablo and practical and that causes of rariatlon must be sought elsewhere. Milk itrolf is not so uniform as Is iften supposed and Is subject to wide Alffercucos In composition. Fat. the cost valuable constituent ot milk Is the most variable. The casein and sugar ot milk vary only within nar­ row limits, but the fat Is subject to wide variations. Among the more com(non causes of differing percentages of fat in milk are: Breed.—Jersey, Guernsey and Devon milk usually contain larger percent­ ages of fat than Holstein or Ayrshire. Individual.—There is often u wider difference in the fnt content of the milk of two Jersey cows or two Hol­ stein cows than between the averages of the two breeds. Each cow has a normal quality of milk born with her. and, while external conditions may vary the proportion of fat somewhat from time to time, her milk has a con­ stant tendency to return to its normal fat content, which Is retained with much constancy through life.. Lactation. — Fresh cows generally yield milk with less fat than when in a more advanced stage of lactation. This variation often amounts to more than 1 per cent Increase from the first month after calving to the last month before drying off. Age.—Young heifers usually yield a poorer milk during the first lactation period than during the fourth and fifth, when they reach maturity. Again, old cows in the decline of life have been observed to give a milk poorer in fat than when in their prime. Feed.—Though always the first thing the farmer thinks of when his milk va­ ries, feed appears to have only a very slight effect on its quality. A vast amount of information has been piling up on this question, and It generally points to the conclusion that feed has only, a minor influence on the fat con­ tent of milk. Indeed Professor Hills’ results Indicate that its influence is ex­ actly the opposite of the popular no­ tion. He finds that the richer the feed the poorer the milk. •dL We were t0 put a two line ‘tern iu ejmost obscure corner of thetoawr, ich stated that a certain business ch*r^ “«« for his goods, and kopt^ poorer grade than his compet­ itors, that man would hire a bull head«d slugger to come around and kill us the next moming.1 CBut If we would ask the same man for an advertisement 2£bis wares he would say: “No, I doi^/^lieve in advertising; no^ppe readstadvertisements.”— It is stated that fan expert potato tuyer who has made a tour of the state hasj^ivenVoux tthegfuliowing about the condition’^the crop:jr Michigan-ill jffrvest the largest£crop; of * potatoes Uib year inXtheflhlstoryJofJthe^potato n££try of 'the ytatelf The reports ot the drought were greatjy 'exaggerated: for the apparentrpurposeXof bringing about higher prices.

A Doyle township farmer unwitting­ ly struck an idea this year that may revolutionize fruit growing in the near fixture. He piled well packed snow over the roots of his trees to preserve the trunks from the damage inflicted by rabbits. The snow remained over the trees long after the ground was bare. The cold compress retarded the the growth of the buds until after the frosts. He will have about 400 bushels of apples while his neighbors report a virtual failure. The scheme will not hurt the trees and may prove invalu­ able to fruit growers.—Manion Tribune. TXTltr FOR HOLDING COUK1 FOR THE FIFTH JUDICIALCIBCTJIT. 1, Clement Smith.

Nevertheless Sir Thomas has won the admiration of all Arnett tans for his true sporting spirit and the admirable manner in which he takes defeat. President McKinley’s fortune was quite largely made up of life insurance. Though in public life for 30 years, and associated with men who would have been glad to have given him the chance V) make a large fortune, he never teemed to care for it. Had he been a tomipt man, he was placed where It Would have taken more than six figures to represent his assets. Seth Low, the president of Columbia Xhuversity, of New York, has been nominated by the Citizens Union and Republicans as their candidate for may­ or of that city. He is a clean, thorough, Incorruptible man, and if elected as he ^bonld be, and as there is a reasonable prospect that he will be, he will give the nation's metropolis au honest, cred­ itable administration. The war cry of bis campaign is “Down with Croker Um.” l^eon Czolgosz, after a fair trial was Convicted and condemned to death by isipctrocution. He showed himself to ba a craven coward when the sentence Was passed, and again when he alighted tram the train at Auburn prison, where Un angry crowd was g’athered. It is htrango that such a creature should ourse the earth by even so much as breathing its air. And yet they say a tool is born every minute, and you can­ not tell what a fool will do, when he is U mean coward as well as a foot The foolish, bitter, protracted conVoveray over the relative amount of credit to be given Admiral Sampson and Admiral Schley almost make one Wish that the Spanish navy had won at Santiago, and that Cevera had punch­ ed boles into the flagships. -Brooklyn fend'kew York, ahd sent both admirals to feed the sharks. The utter folly of Such a warfare is only equaled by its Wickedness. Both .are brave men. Both did their duty. Each should have been willing to let the facts speak, and. not have outraged tbe American peoJple by their iudecent disputations. President Schwab, the president of Yhe U. S. Steel Co., has been doing some talking that ought to assist Congress in Its work of changing the tariff to meet kiew conditions. A Mr. Lawrence, mem­ ber of the English parliament, in a reTJBnt speech before a trade gathering in England, stated that Mr. Schwab told him that the U. S. Steel Co. could de­ liver steel billets in England at a profit nt 816.50 per ton. and that when that corporation secured their own transJwrtation lines, they could reduce.even that figure. Mr. Lawrence claimed that at 819.00 per ton, the English man­ ufacturer would make no profit. Steel billets are selling iu this country at 825 l>er ton. Can there be anyjreason for keeping up the duty on steel billets unfier such conditions? Emqja Goldman, the high priestess of Unarchy, lives in Rochester, and calls that city her home. Upon her release from imprisonment in Chicago, she proposed to go to her home city. But the citizens of that place organized a tar and feather brigade, and proposed ’-o transform Emma into a gay sort of ■a Wrd. Emma therefore cut Rochester her list. The righteous indigna­ tion tills country feels against all an­ archists and their doctrines ought nev'«r to turn itself into violent channels. Violence will not cure violence. If •tbe noble victim of anarchy could beg of those about him not to permit the inwardly assassin to be harmed, im­ plying that the law should deal with him, surely the rest of the country can afford to refrain from lawlessness in expressing their disapproval of tbe reds lic*n nomination for governor. ‘*4*’ •» * cU»n capable mxn and not a barrel! of M to mend Mm.

Not very many countries are bothered with hav­ ing too much money, so much in fact that they don’t know what to do with it, but the United States is. The sur­ plus for the first three months of this fiscal year will be about 816,000.000, or at the rate of 864.000,000 for the year. Receiving so much money into the treasury takes just so much out of gen­ eral circulation and opens the doors for unwarranted extravagance and expen­ ditures; and the loaning of money to banks without interest has always met with serious opposition.

These will all be glad to learn that at the republican county convention for AUeganev Co., N. Y„ held one-day last week, Elba was nom­ inated for Judge and surrogate of that county, corresponding to our circuit judge here, and combining also much of what is done by the probate judge in this state Elba won in the county convention by the decisive vote of 62 to 35 for his opponent, who had held the position for 12 years. As the re­ publican majority in that county is usually from 2,500 to 4,000 his prospects for election amount to a practical cer­ tainty. Until five years ago he was a democrat, but he could not stomach the free silver plank of the Chicago platform, and came out squarely for McKinley, stumping his county and doing very effective work for him both in 1896 and 1900. As a democrat, and notwithstanding the big republican majority., he was elected school com­ missioner by about 1,000 plurality some years ago, and six years ago came within a few hundred votes of an elec­ tion as * candidate on the democrat ticket for the same office for which be is now running. He is one of the most popular men In his county. Tbe Banneb congratulates Elba on bis nomsna-, tion, ana will be glad to greet him as •Judge Reynolds.” Tbe merchants of this city have signed an agreement to close their stores at six o'clock every night except Wednesday and Saturday nights, and for a week or two before the holidays.

Thursday, Oct 1O- ^O1' WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW A BLOODY FIGHT Baptist Chtrrcii at Big Springs CANCER Sufferers from this horrible malady nearly always inherit it—not necessarily from the parents, but may be from some remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs through aeveral generattona. This deadly poison may lay dormant.in the blood for years, or until you reach middle life, then the first little sore or ulcer makes its ap­ pearance—or a swollen gland in the breast, or some other part of the body, gives the first warning. To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma­ nently all the poisonous virus must be eliminated from the blood—every vestage cf it driven out Thia S. S. S. does, and is the only medicine that can reach deepsealed, obstinate blood troubles like this. When all the poison has been forced out of the system the Cancer heals, and thq disease never returns. Cancer begins often in a small way, as ths following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows; Teno., the Boene.

New York, Oct. 5.—R. O. Dun A Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Trade channels are remarkably free from obstruction, although the move­ ment of goods at some polntg is checked by insufficient transportation facilities. This is a tribute to tbe un­ usually heavy shipments which are shown more definitely by railway earn­ ings In September. 9.2 per cent larger than last year, and 16.7 per cent above those of 1899. Manufacturing is of such vigor that few wheels are idle, and further wage agreements have reduced the numberof strikers to a minimum. Mild weath­ er, yacht races and other temporary influences curtailed tbe volume of re­ tail sales In this vicinity, but jobbing and wholesale concerns are preparing for exceptional transactions. Foreign trad* is also heavy. Nothing new has developed in re­ gard to the iron and steel situation, and with tne mills crowded in their efforts to overtake consumptive de­ mand, there Is little prospect of any. material change in the market for some time.

After spending several days in Mex­ ico City I started northward and after three days of tough riding I finally reached Lamy, New Mexico. From here I “decked" a fast passenger to I Santa Fe, New Mexico. I remained here but a short time and then caught a .train to Creede, Colorado, a mining town with a reputation of having as many gamblers as any town of its size in the United States. It was in this town that the notorious Bop Ford was shot. I remained here for three days and found that everything was “skyhigh," with uncomplimentary words and rough actions thrown in, if you happened to kick on the price. Leslie (Continued A Flint. .

Quite Doubtful if the Receipts Will Cover all of the Expenses incurred. Attractions Never Surpassed. When the management of the Barry County Fair advertised that the 49th., ■ Annual Fair would be better than ever before, it gavjp a promise to the people that was faithfully kept With the possible exception of Hillsdale, we would have no fear whatever in com­ paring the Barryx^oBnty fair with any other in the state, knd even with Hills­ dale we doubt very much whether our fair this year would suffer at all by the comparison. I*rovidence., even, seemed to be on our side this year, and almost every minute of good weather last week was squeezed into the time for the fair. A nice rain came to lay the dust just be­ fore the fair opened, and to render a ride to the city something of a pleasure, instead of something to be dreaded on account of the dust. The only thing that many looked forward to that was not fulfilled, was lhe expectation of see-, ing the^track record of 2:13^ lowered, but had the weather been more favor­ able Friday afternoon the gallant little Capt Sphinx would have succeeded in doing that. As it was he won the ad­ miration of ali in his splendid attempt, in the face of a strong wind, and draw­ ing a sulkey fifty per cent heavier th.au he was used to drawing, but the best that he succeeded in making was 2il5, with John A. Hicks a close second. The displays of stock, fruit, poultry, and vegetables were unusally fine, and would compare most favorably with any similar displays to be seen at the l>est of county fairs. Floral Hall was well filled with all classes of needle work, drawings, quilt work and dis­ plays of various kinds that have made this building such an attractive one for the feminine eye especially, in years past Owing to lack of space no attempt was made this year to make any general educational display. But to the credit of Nashville it can be said that the schools of that place made a m<«i at­ tractive display, giving evidence of the excellence of her schools. And, by the way. Nashville is entitled to the fur­ ther credit of doing much to help make the fair here the splendid success it was. For many years past the schools of our iieighl>oring town have decided by bal­ lot which fair should be attended and this vear the choice was about unani1 moos to come to patronize their own [county fair instead ef attending the Eaton County fair as has been done for I a decadejir more. And in addition to WHOLE NO. 2410. and expenditures, but if the society this year makes both ends meet we will be pleased. This means something. It means that the fair officials are giv­ ing the people of Barry County too big a show for too little money. The offi­ cers have worked hard and faithfully and honestly to make the fair a success, and this year, as well as last, it was the peer of any in the state. Due thing is certain and that is that to make it a success there mutt be special attractions, for it has been demonstrated in the past that without them the people will not attend; it is equally certain that if these special attractions are continued there must be a greater revenue. Barry County should follow the exam­ ple of Eaton, HillsdaBP aud other counties and charge at least 15 cents for every single rig that goes upon the ground, and 25 cents for every team Where else can any family go and see as much for the price of a family ticket as was to be seen for three days of our County fair this year? The people of this county want to see a good fair, they want to see some attractions, something new. These things cost money and we believe that all will look at the matter in the right light, and as as long as we have a bang up good fair, people will not object to doing in Barry County what is done in other countiescharge a small sum for every rig that goes on the ground Another thing that Would bring add ed revenue would be to move the grand stand 15 or 20 feet to the. north Rnd put in a quarter-stretch to which an ad­ mission fee of ten centscqnldbe charged. This would practically double the ca­ pacity of the grand stand at very small expense aud hundreds of people would prefer to stay on the quarter stretch than to be squeezed in like a sardine on the grand stand. The middle 300 or 400 seats of the grand stand could be reserved at 25 cents per seat and re­ maining seats on the grand stand sold at 15 cents each. Where else can a per­ son go and see as much for 10 cents as was seen here this year. A seat on the grand stand is worth 25 cents and the very fact that the association is about “playing even” is due wholly to the fact that the officers are putting up too good a show at too small a cost One thing that doubtless worked much injury to the financial interests {of the association this year was allow­ ing scholars Xof the schools of this County In free on Thursday. On Fri­ day the parents came, bought two Zj cent tickets instead of the usual fam­ ily ticket, and the association was out 50 cents. It might be advisable to make a rate of 10 cents each for all of the school children of the county on a certain day of the fair, but it should not be less than that until] the associa­ tion gets out of debt. \ In the above remarks thf Banner seeks in no way to criticise or find fault. On the contrary it heartily com­ mends the officers and directors, who have worked loyally and honestly to give the people of Barry County thj* best fair they have ever had, and they have succeeded in doing IL Our inter­ est in the success of the fair is only that In common with every other citi­ zen, who has the best interests of the association at heart, but one thing is certain and that is, If the people of the county want to see our excellent fairs continued some way must be provided to secure more revenue. Following is the result of the races, the names in parenthesis being those of the hundreds of people from the east­ ern part of the County, who droveJ^° this citv, the afternoon train-from the east was loaded down with passengers from Nashville, Morgan, Quimby, and people from various townships adja­ cent to theee ’stations. This only serves to demonstrate that the people of Barry County will be loyal to the county fair, provided the wifi secure suitable attractions and give them something worth their time and money to come and FeeThe list of attractions this year was especially fine.

No assertion Is made that his invention will take the place of refrigerator cars. It Is ex­ pected only to reduce the temperature to tho extent that is possible by pro­ pelling drafts of fresh air through a car from large fans under the floor that are operated by power taken from the axle through cogwheels. The force of the current of air will vary with tho velocity of the car in motion. Mr. Holly asserts that the fans will drive out foul air and keep a constant current of cool, fresh air In a car In transit, which will presene ripe fruit or milk for longer periods than they could be preserved in ordinary closed THE FKAN TO AIB CABS, relati?«Gh!^11! a,“d wifa *ho visited thrirl™ west returned to nreday “ Battle Cretk laat „^.ra'Solomon Chaffee does not Im?ri0enda«J4Bpid‘y in healtt “ her McIntosh has gone to Hutingsandw working in a lactor?

ADrmONAL LOCAL We are informed that during the past week several of the glass insulators on the poke of the Thornapple Electric Company have been broken, doubtless by young boys throwing stones, or by older ones shooting at the glasses with guns. The Company offers a reward for the arrest andKconvietion of anyone found guilty of such work, and doubt­ less those who have done it are not aware of what danger the breaking of the glasses means, especially after the elec­ tric current has been turned on. The breaking of these insulating glasses and the dropping of an electric wire across a telephone wire would mean sure death to anyone touching the latter wire. Anyone breaking insulators not only renders himself amenable to the law, but also may be the means of causing the death of innocent people. A certain young man from Middle­ ville was left in a terrible predicament Thursday evening of last week. He came to this city to attend the beet county fair on earth, and of course he brought his beet girl along with him in a fine covered carriage. In the evening he proposed to show the young lady about the city and accordingly they set out-for a drive. The rest of it seems to be involved in a mystery, and all that can be learned is that in going along some.Tstreet in the city the horse became scared and ran away. At about the first jump the cross-bar broke, and the happy but terrified ypung couple were left all by their lonesome. The young man started in pursuit of the fleeing horse, admonishing the young lady to remain in the carriage and he would return for her later. The horse was recovered near the forks of the road in Rutland, and the young |man, highly elated, returned, but to locate his fair one was another proposition. Me hunted up one street and down another, not daring to ask assistance for fear those horrid newspaper men would get hold of it and print it in the paper. One hour stretched out into another, and the missing rig and lady were still missing. Business houses be­ gan to be closed, and the streets began to be vacated, and still the lost was not found. With heaving breast, and voice choked with emotion the young man finally secured help, and a drive around the city with a hired rig restored the lost prize. Tho agony suffered by the young man during those awful houra was so intense that we wouldn’t have the heart to mention any names, even if we knew, so we will leave our read­ ers wrapped in mystery as to who the parties were, and further deponent will say not.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE. New York. Oct 12.—R. G. Dun & Co.^s weekly review of trade says: Failure of a few over-capitalized In­ dustrial corporations to pay interest on their stock is no criterion of condi­ tions in manufacturing, although an Influence of some weight in the stock market. Reports from all sections of the country agree that there has sel­ dom, If ever, been such vigorous prose­ cution of constructive work. Widely divergent lines exhibit similar symp­ toms. Labor Is well employed at good wages, and the buying power of the people is more than sufficient to meet the advance in the cost ot living of 4.6 per cent over prices prevailing a year ago. Exports from the United States are not equal to recent record-breaking fig­ ures, but still compare fairly/well with earlier years; for the week, flour in­ cluded, shipments reached 4.199.328 bu. against 3.588.439 a year ago, and 4,239,829 in 1899. Movement of corn is light, receipts at the Interior amounting to only 2,760,262 bu, against 4,627.200 last year, and 6,110.209 In the same week two years ago, while ex­ ports from tbe Atlantic coast were but 535,251 bn. against 2,707,268 in 1900, and 3,184,916 two years ago.

The Banner has recently discussed the subject of “Parental Neglect," and also the moral tone of our youth. We parents cannot deny the existence of cases of children doing the awful things you suggest, and it is true that such instances could have been pointed out in other years. 1 feel that in justice to the father* and mothers of this city, there ought to be presented a aide of the case which you have failed to gh®. The state assumes the right to step In and take charge of our children for six hours a day for five days in the week that they may be educated to be­ come better citizens. The lime actual­ ly in school, and consumed in passing to and from school, as well as outside studying, keeps oiir children from us a good portion of the time. lh all things connected with educa­ tion, the teacher supplants the parent, and the school room the home.' The teacher thus becomes an authority, and we parents, who have had few'er advan­ tages, see our children acquiring knowl­ edge of things of which we knew very little or nothing at all at their age. The teacher, the doctor and the editor may criticise us for our ignorance .of things which they know very well, mid which they know because of their better advantages. We may know little of sub­ jects which they are masters of. Now, Mr. Editor, in all candor, don’t you think our schools should give in­ struction in morals as well as mathe­ matics, not in any sectarian way, but in a way which no person, Protestant or Catholic. Jew or Gentile,' could ob­ ject to? Don’t you think further that our youth should also be provided with instruction, counsel and encouragement as to wiiat is best for the care of the body, from men who ought to, lie able to give our children the very best in­ struction in such matters—the physi­ Again the pleasant reading room is open to all who will avail -themselves of the best of opportunities to read. This we do uot say because it is a free reading room only, but more on ac­ count of the excellence of the matter to be found in many of sixteen different magazines furnished here. In addition to these periodicals, there are now on band several newly bound volumes. At present the high school students constitute the greater number of pa­ trons, and it is pleasing to note the in­ terest shown by them. As the places of business close at an early hour we would especially invite the patronage of the older classes. Parents, come and examine the ma­ terial in the hands of your young folks. Surely this a matter worthy of Investigation. Nowhere in the city could be found a place where the clerks of our stores could, spend a more cheery, restful hour. Bright lights, cheerful fire, easy chairs placed around two long tables, bountifully spread with the freshest, purest and the most easily digested food—for the mind—free of charge. The leading magazines bid fair to be more fascinating the coming year than ever before. Harper’s for November promises much to its readers as this issue com­ pletes the 51st volume of what the Lon­ cians?

Women’s Club. BADLY EMBARRASSED • The club met Friday at the Parish House. The first paper of the after­ noon, “A Brief Survey -of the Old World at the Beginning of the New,” was given by Mrs. Louise Evarts. The paper was a well condensed and com­ prehensive review of this important epoch. She spoke of It as a time of mighty beginnings with the old forms of society disappearing to make way for the new forms necessary to a higher civilization. The conditioirof affairs in France, Spain’, Italy and England v.ere briefly touched upon, showing three great conditions everywhere preyalent: ecclesiastical reforms undertaken by the church; popular religious move­ ments and an intellectual revolution. It was an age ulso of new inventions, of which the printing press was the most important. “Early American Literature” was next considered by Miss Eliza Knowlton. Of the first lit­ erature of America but very little can be said, for literature is influenced by the age of a nation; its resources must be developed, schools and colleges must exist before any marked literary efforts are produced. The earliest,colonial literature consisted chiefly of books of travel and history of the times, none of it could be classed as true literature and of fiction and poetry there is none. John Elliot’s translation of the Bible into the Indian language was the most notable as'well as valuable literary EUGENE HARTHORN, OF ORANGE­ VILLE, IN HNA NCIAL STRAITS. His Indebtedness Foots Up Close $15,000, and His Assets Estim. ated at About $12,000. Much surprise and regret has been occasioned by the financial difficulties into which Eugene Harthorn, a prominent farmer of Orangeville has become involved. He owned outright 160 acres of good land in the town of Barry and had a deed of 80 acres more in Orangeville township, subject to the life lease of his foster-mother, who is about 85 years old. After the death of the latter and Miss Sarah I. Brown he will come into possession of about 131 acres more. . Aside from this he had a large amount of personal property. He was regarded as a well-to-do farmer, with excellent credit and a money, maker. He had been supervisor several terms, and is town treasurer of Orangeville now. One day last week a mortgage of 84,915 was recorded covering his 160 acre farm in Barry. This was notice to his other creditors to look out for their interests.- And the number of them is astonishing. Both city banks had small loans, also two Kalamazoo banks, and one in Richland and an­ other in Plainwell. Aside from these he owed a number of persons in Or­ angeville, Prairieville, Barry and Rich­ land, the total debts reaching close to 815,000. It appears that he is also short 8400 or.$500 in his accounts as township treasurer, which his bonds­ men will make good. As he was quite forehanded, and had considerable sums out at interest a few years ago it is a mystery to his creditors where his money has gone to, especially as he has always raised good crops, and realized good prices for them. At this time no legal steps had been taken by the un­ secured creditors, but they are consid­ ering what is best to do to protect tlieir interests. Later.—Since the above was written the writer has talked with some neighbors and friends who are in a position to know about Mr. Harthom’s circnaaetances «nd movements fora number of years. These friends say that while Mr. Harthorn was town­ ship treasurer, as he had been for many years, he would advance tax money for those who could not pay promptl y, and that he was easy with these people to whom he had made these small loans and thus lost money by them. They say that he was also very generous with those who wanted to borrow tools, seed wheat or get other accommodations and lost much by being easy with those whom he had thus accommodated, and unless they did so of their own accord he never compelled them to return what they borrowed. They also say that while he raised good crops, they cost him a good deal for hired help and that he was not the calculator and money-maker he was supposed to be, but rather his easy ways with those who owed him lost him hundreds of dollars and that he lacked the business ability to manage his farming interests profitably. They say he got hard up, commenced borrowing from one man or bank to pay another, always expect­ ing to pay up some time, and that he used the township money fully expect­ ing to replace 1L It is a very unfor­ tunate affair all around, and we trust Mr. Harthorn may find some way out of his financial troubles. achievement of those times. Cotton Mather, Jonathan Edwards and Ben­ jamin Franklin are the only other names that are now remembered in connection with our colonial literatureMre. Effie Goodyear gave the closing paper “Industries for American Wo­ man.” She said women as wage-earn­ ers are a product of modern civiliza­ tion, the change taking place quickly and naturally bringing about some evils and difficulties. In colonial times women could only secure such work as weeding and hoeing and received but 12% cents a day, while servants were paid but 830 a year. Now there are 531 occupations that offer suitable em­ ployment to women.'- The average age of the American woman wage-earner is 25 years, with 85.75 the average weekly pay. Massachusetts leads the states with an average of 86.85, while New Jersey ranks lowest with 85.00 weekly average. In closing the writer pre seated some most interesting facts and ideas concerning the important subject of household service, and lack of time only prevented an interesting discus­ sion being brought out by .her most ex­ cellent paper.

People who use these ex^ plosive machines in their kitchens read, with calmness and unconcern items ia the newspapers to the , effect that an aged couple in a small room in St. Paul were terribly burned by a gasoline ex*plosion, so terribly in fact, that the. woman died the next day at the hospL ' tai; or an item in the morning paper., which says that in Madison, S.

There is mueh truth in that but the trouble lies in the fact that too many of those using that kind of kitchen furniture are of that class to which allusion is made in sucU plain and unequivocal terms. “No man in the community doet Marriage Licenses. more for the public and receives lesa.

The contractors who ire building the foundation for the new Michigan <>n. tral depot at Charlotte encountered an unexpected obstacle last week. A fp.r digging down several feet to prepw.- a foundation, the workmen came upon about six feet of saw dust that had evidently been used to fill in with in days gone by. Emma Orisman, of Allegan was. re­ cently arrested on a charge of i^ing drunk and dteqrderly. Her case is a very peculiar one, as she went to the jail twice before she was arrested, and begged the sheriff to arrest her as a dis orderly person’ that she might be sent to the industrial school where she would be free from the surroundings and companions she knew were ruining her life. She was later taken to Adrian. Two Lansing boys, chafing under the restraints of a good Lome, took it into their heads one day last week to flee from their miseries1. With high hopes they started out, but when they reached Charlotte they were grounded up” by the sheriff, and spent the' night with him. Their experience was worth a good deal to them, and they returned home more pleased than ever with the excellent surroundings that had always been theirs. Knocking against the world isn’t always the most pleasant thing especially for a new beginner, but it often pounds more sense into a boy than most anything else'will. E. A. Post has sold his patent pa­ per casket business to Messrs.

They ask that local capitalists take $20,000 in stock. They were here this week and were in consultation with Louis Newman of the Newman-Johnson Paper company, and local business men. It is understood Mr. Newman looks favorably on the project ;md is willing to make an investment here.— Allegan Gazette. A petition has been filed in the cir­ cuit court for Ionia county asking for the disbarment of Wesley II. Mains, formerly of Lake Odessa, but now practicing law in Chicago. It is al­ leged that he forged an order for a divorce for a client and represented to his client that the divorce h:ul been granted, taking his pay for the work. Later on it is claimed that Mains se­ cured the onler from his client by rep­ resenting that he- desired to use it in closing up the case, and after getting possession of it he netfer returned it. The records show that no divorce was ever granted, and the whole thing is said to be a swindle, hence the disbar­ ment proceedings. Had the man w ho secured the divorce re-married he would nave been liable to' imprisonment, in state’s prison for bigamy. Mains romvs ’ of a good family and has many fritinds who do not think him guilty of the crime and he has heretofore bvnfe a good reputation. Chas. R. Wessmar. Evan-ton.

FRUf 'WERS A NOTABLE EVERGREEN. Eq tidily nantlMom« One might suppose that evergreen trees would be little appreciated in summer, when attention is diverted by the countless forms of beauty and shades of rich color among the native and exotic plants In full growth and bloom. This is true to a certain extent regarding the more ordinary conifers, and yet they have their own charm in sharpness of outline and, during the period of new growth, in many tender shadings of quiet color, says a Rural New Yorker writer. The Colorado blue spruce, however, stands out as a most pleasing excep- Pansies Planted In the Fall.

To prevent injury the beds should be rated so that water will easily run off.1 To prevent . alternate freezing and thawing cover the plants very lightly; with coarse swale hay.only just enough to cover them from ‘sight. for too much or too close covering is worse than none at all . If we could depend upon snow covering the ground from the 1st of December to April, there would bo no need of protecting the plants with anything else, for there Is no better winter covering. — 1 A Still Finer Salvia. Salvia Clara Bedman is a decided im­ provement over Splendens, says a verjf good authority, as It usually grows more dwarfish in habit and more com­ pact in growth, yet growthy enough to fill th? bill. It comes Into bloom earlier from seed than the older Splendens and breaks much sooner when cut or after a bloom. It is perhaps not quite so in­ tense a scarlet as Splendens. but you would be compelled to have the two side by side for comparison to distin­ guish the difference. ?

President Roosevelt has given terrible offense to some of the fire eating southerners, ytho have no use for ne­ groes, by inviting Booker T. Washing­ ton, a colored man and the founder of the famous Tuskegee Institute, to dine with him. In the eyes of a certain class of old time southern atistocrats this is an unpardonable sin, but in the eyes of President Roosevelt a man 1r not to judged according to the color of his skin Booker T* Washington Is one of the ablest educators of the coun­ try today, as well as one of the country.B ablest orators. His life, as far as known, is pure, bls record clean, his excellent ability recognized. In every­ thing that goee to make up a perfect man there is no question but what his life would compare most favorably with that of any of his detractors. If there is any salvation for the colored race, as we believe there is, Booker T. Washington has unselfishly devoted his life and talent to its uplifting. Gradually he is turning the minds of the colored people, that have been de­ graded by centuries of slavery and sub­ jection,-to higher things, and as such he is a national benefactor, and we see no reason why he should be excluded from the list of the President’s guests, sim­ ply because his outer covering is black Instead of white. While this act of Preaident Roosevelt may give great of­ fense "to a certain class of southerners, yet we are glad to see the President exercise his independence and recognize ability and greatness whether it is wrapped in black skin or white.

It Is high time for the republicans of Michigan to be counted for clean pol­ itics in state affairs. Every self re­ specting republican in Michigan must feel humiliated at the thought that we now have a governor whose political adviser is Senator Atwood, who has shrewdness, but who lacks the elements that make his advice safe to follow; who has named the notorious “Bill Judson” as oil inspector; who has put that bright, particular star Sayre ou the tax commission; who is build­ ing up a private political machine at state expense. These things are In­ famous and must be overthrown if we want a clean and honest administra­ tion of state affairs.

Jackson, Mich., Oct 22.—Jackson prison officials have learned that Con­ vict Wiseman first learned of the in­ vestigation being conducted against him through a letter from his wife, who inclosed several newspaper clip­ pings. He answered the letter on Oct 14, and denied that he had had any­ thing to do with the death of Mrs. Christopher Huss, saying that he was in Birmingham on the day she disap­ peared. In this letter he asked her to bring his knife out to him. as the one he was using was too small. The officials attach considerable impor­ tance to this. It seems that Mrs. "Wiseman did not comply with her husband’s request, but turned the let­ ter and knife over to Prosecutor Rock­ well of Pontiac. Birmingham, Mich., Oct 22.—Curi­ osity seekers in throngs visited the Clawson* farm at Royal Oak Sun­ day, viewing the spot where the re­ mains of Mrs. Christopher Huss were found. Herman Baker, a farmer in the vicinity, recalls that while hunt­ ing woodchucks, in the summer of 1900, he dug a hole beside the log where the body-was found. This cor­ roborates the statement attributed to Wiseman, that he didn’t have to dig the grave. Prosecuting Attorney Rockwell and a Pontiac deputy sheriff went yesterday to have an Interview with Ida Williams of Marysville, who married Frank Bellew.

He said also that the admiral admitted the receipt of two copies of No. 8, Admiral Samp-, son's dispatch, saying that the Spanish. fleet was probably at Santiago, and telling Commodore Schley “if satisfied that It (the Spanish fleet) is not at Cienfuegoe to proceed with all dis­ patch to Santiago,’’ one of these being received by the Hawk May 23 and the other by the Marblehead May 24.

Plunhh of the Pur- . due experiment station. It is 12 feet lu diameter and 28 feet high. Syids lt> and 12 feet long oL2 by 4,’pine were placed vertically end to end. long aud short alternating to break joints aud 17 inches from center to center on a circular brick foundation two layers, deep. No. 1 pine fencing 1 inch by a inches by 16 feet was then resawed to make boards a half inch by 6 inches by 18 feet and these dressed to make them lay true. These were then nailed around the Inside against the studs, forming a circle, two men bending them into place-and nailing on. First one layer was nailed up for a space, then tarred paper was laid ort-r this layer, and this was followed by another layer of half inch stuff, breaking joints with that underneath. Four doors were left at convenient Intervals, the width between studs and about 18 Inches' high. Boards and tarred papec may be laid In these doorways, tbe ends lapping against the stud* when the silo is filled. No roof is provided or nec­ essary. .Such a silo is strong and inex­ pensive and will preserve the contents In good condition. Thia one cost, with­ out boarding-the outside of -the studs, slightly under $G0. not Including labor. It appears that tbe curing of good, sweet silage Is a chemical process k»-_ duced by the life action of tbe living plant cells, says L. W. Light? lu Na­ tional Stockman. Tbe experience of allolsta will, 1 believe., sustain this. When we have a very dry season anti the corn Is wilted and withered, with some leaves scorched, or when the corn is frosted, thus not having the life proc­ esses all In full vigor, we nearly always have poor silage. 4 If we have vigorous growing, brittle, bright green, thrifty plants in tbe full vigor of life just at the'joint where all life, processes are In their greatest activity, the reproduc­ tion of Its kind, the perfecting of die seed—I say if we have these condiqous when storing tbe adage we almost In­ variably have splendid, sweet sllago from top to bottom. In moat sections corn for the silo ‘.s cut into one-half to three-quarter inch lengths by running through a feed cut­ ter. It is elevated at once tu the sljo, carefully spread and In some cartes tramped down, says Farm and lloniv. A few dairymen and feeders have had much success In putting whole corn in­ to, the ailo. If this Is done, the corn must be cut a little greener, so that it will pack more completely. Mr. Hod­ son of southern Wisconsin has bad excsUent results with whole corn silage. Haw to Parity Water.

He made bls first good sized pile on pat­ ent medicines, then he picked up a STeat deal more on real estate, and wt last be rounded out with speculation lu .n^5a C°Pper’ b*t *e was kno*’D « Doc* Hartman to the time of hls death by his few Intimate friends. “Rut the story that I'm going to telL and the one which he often told him­ self. concerns hls very earliest experi­ ences In the accumulation of money. Tim Hartman started life with |1. H« kicked around as a barefooted boyand a pretty mean one. too-!n a little town In Connecticut until he was 18 years old, and at that time he had be­ come so fresh and so full of wind and general cussednees that hls father one day told him he was no good, never had been and never would amount to a picayune. The old gentleman, just to carry put the bluff, told Tim that he bad a good mind to cut him off with a dollar and make him earn hls own liv­ ing. Tim straightened up and called the bluff. He told the old man that be would take the dollar and get out then and there and hustle for himself. Tb» old man handed him a crisp $1 bill and told him that he’d be glad to see him make a fortune with it "The first thing that cuss did was to go about ta a few back yards that he knew of and gather together a lot of empty bottles which were of no use to anybody. Then, for 10 cents, he bought a large cake of a kind of white soap that was then, and still Is, on the mar­ ket He melted this soap and, after borrowing an ancient pair of candle molds from an old granny In the neigh­ borhood. made two beautiful looking candles of aoap. He next filled hls bot­ tles full of choice rainwater. Then he made for himself one of those little three legged tables like the chuck-aluck and shell game Wien use outside the circus, and struck out on foot for a county fair that was being held about 40 miles away. "When he got there, he put up hls lit­ tle table outside tbe grounds, where the crowd was pretty thick, lighted one of hls soap candles and began to extol the virtues of ’br. Hartman’s Famous Grease Eradlcator,’ contained in the bottles set before him. " ’Now, ladles and gentlemen,’ be would shout In a stentorian but plausi­ ble voice, ‘this marvelous liquid, so harmless that it can be drunk with Im­ punity by the smallest Infant and yet so penetrating that It will seek out and , destroy stains and discolorations from the most refractory substance, was dis­ covered by accident by the famous sci­ entist, Dr. Hartiuan, the eminent schol­ ar, while he was wandering o’er tbe wilds of Patagonia. It is colorless, you see, as the waters from heaven, and yet observe the effects of its startling properties'.’ "At this point Tim would reach for his oap candle and. Inverting it. would sme r a lot of the grease over tbe sleeve of his coat " 'Now, every one of you knows, la­ dies and gentlemen,* be would continue, reaching over and uncorking a bottle of hls rainwater, ‘that there is nothing so penetrating and Ineffaceable as tbe grease from a candle, and yet It Is a stain that we are all likely to suffer al­ most every evening of our lives while toytag with that common article of tbe household, tbe candle. You will ob­ serve that my sleeve is smeared with the annoying substance. Behold’— "Here that country bred fakir would spill a conple of drops of .hls rainwater ou the soap aud with a rub or two would produce a beautiful lather. An­ other swipe and tbo soap would bav«v entirely disappeared from the sleeve, leaving not a trace. .. ' " ‘Now. we make this famous etafflcator lu such enormous quantities.’ Tfm would continue, ‘that in order to Intro­ duce it into every home in this broad land we will dispense with It At the absurdly low price of v cents, a nickel a bottle. Step right up! Step right up!’ “Then, when the public was surging forward to purchase tho rainwater, Tim would pause occasionally to drink a bottle of h, just to show that It was absolutely harmless. "Well, tbs stuff went like hot cakes. When Tim’s bottles were all exhausted, he bought more, and when the fair was over be went to another and another until he had traveled all over tbe coun­ try. Then, In some way or other, L don’t know bow, he got hold of some old patent medicine, and. being a gen­ ius. of course he made a big go of it So that's the way Tim Hartman almost became a millionaire." — New York Times.

MASES THE BED COMFORTABLE. bed is so low that a serious shock may be sustained by the system. To over­ come the low temperature In a safe and simple manner Edwin T. Keener of Delaware, O., has designed the bed warmer pictured in the cut The in­ ventor provides an elongated oval heating drum for attachment to tbe Footboard of the bed, with a funnel projecting downward from the center and an outlet at the upper side for tbe passage of the air and gases. In con­ nection with this arrangement a small lamp of any ordinary pattern Is used, the hood which surrounds the chimney being fitted with a sustaining spring to keep the lamp In a fixed position be­ neath the funnel A wick adjusting rod Is also provided, which may be turned without rising, tbe position of the eyelet at the end of the rod Indicat­ ing how far It should be turned to put out or raise the flame. Tbe beater Is claimed to be entirely safe and while heating the bed to the desired tem­ perature has the advantage of not raising the temperature of tbe room to an unhealthy degree for sleeping. Baked Cora. If young, shave from the ear, scrap­ ing the cob; If old, draw a sharp knife down each row and press out the pulp with the knife’s back. Season with salt, pepper, u generous lump of butter (a tablespoonful to three cupfuls of pulp) and add enough cream or rich milk to nearly cover. Melt some batter, roll some soft bread crumbs In It to moisten them, then spread them over the corn. Dust with ^alt and pepper and bake a half hour. When done, cov­ er the baking dish for ten minutes In the open oven to soften the browned crumbs before serving. The War to Wash Cklats.

From Sunset Rock, one of the favorite points of this mountain, a beautiful picture is presented, bringing into view the lands of seven states, showing the winding route of the Tennessee river, and spreading out before the beholder the beautiful city of Chattanooga. In the immediate vicinity are a number of fa­ mous resorts, including Missionary Ridge, Orchard Knob, Chickamauga National Military Park and National Cemetery. The Alabama Great South­ ern railroad was built on a narrow ledge of rock nearly half way around tills mountain, at a cost of 83,001 per foot for the entire distance.

Czolgosx went to the electric chair unconfessed and unrepentenL He suffered a slight nervous at­ tack late yesterday, but remained sal­ ient and stoical uj> to the time the prison closed at 10 o'clock p. m. He refused to heed the words of priests who came to urge spiritual prepara­ tion for death, and declined to either re-embrace Reman Catholicism or re­ nounce anarchy. Hence there was no religious ceremony at the end. Czolgosz showed no strength of love for kin nor did be turn to any of those ligher considerations which ordinarily claim the thoughts ot men occupying his position; He may have suffered untold torture, but outwardly he seemed sullen and indifferent The state is not to surrender possession of his body, and by sundown it will have been secretly Interred in ground controlled by the officials of Auburn prison. • The plan of burning his clothing and papers will be carried out immedi­ ately after the execution. Czolgosz held hls last two Inter­ views last night, the first with Super­ intendent Collins and the second with his brother and brother-in-law. Both of. the interviews were brief, and the interviewers did most of the talking until the question of religion was mentioned, when Czolgosz broke from his seeming lethargy and violent­ ly denounced the clergy and made his relatives promise that there should bo no service for him, living or dead. Prior to the late evening interviews Czolgosz reluctantly received Fathers Fudzinski and Hickey. 11 was late in the afternoon and occurred afteK he had once refused to meet them. When they reached the prison, Superintend­ ent Collins conveyed the request for an interview to the prisoner. Czolgosz sent back word that he did not care to see them, but the priests asked to be allowed to go to him despite his re­ fusal. Superintendent Collins consented and personally escorted them to the cell. The priests remained with Czolgosz for three-quarters of an hour and earnestly pleaded with the prisoner to repent and pray for Divine forgive­ ness. He rejected all their advances, however, and they regretfully with­ drew. They told the prisoner they would hold themselves ready to an­ swer a call from him at any hour of the nlghL It was 7 o’clock when Su­ perintendent Collins went into the death house and tried to get the pris­ oner to talk to him. Although be re­ mained In the oell some time, he was apparently not successful in getting anything material from him. At 8 o’clock the brother and brother-in-law arrived and Superintendent Collins took them down to the condemned man's cell. Thero was no demonstra­ tion when they met. Czolgosz merely stepped to the front of hls steel’cage and said: "Hello." The brother ventured the remark. "I wish you would tell us, Leon, who got you into this scrape?” The assassin answered in a slow, hesitating manner, "No one; nobody had anything to do with it but me." "That is not how you were brought up,” said the brother, "and you ought to tell us everything now.” ”1 haven’t got anything to tell,” he answered in a surly manner. "Do you want to see the priests again?" asked bis brother. And he them, don’t send them here again; I don’t want to see them.” The brother-in-law Interjected here, “That’s right, Leon.” The brother looked rather disturbed by the ananswered with more vehemence than he had previously shown, "No, damn swer. Then, stepping up close to the bars, the condemned man said: "And don’t you have any praying aver me when I’m dead. I don’t want it I don't want any of thelr -damned religion.” There was a painful pause of a few minutes and then the relative resumed casual conversation with him, to which he replied in monbsyllables un­ til the brother-in-law suggested, much to Superintendent Collins’s surprise, that he and the brother be permitted to witness the execution. Before Mr. Collins could reply Leon Czolgosz said: "Yes, Mr. Superintendent, let them see me killed.” Superintendent Collins told the trio In emphatic terms, that no such thing could be allowed, and ordered them to Bay good-bye. Czolgosz walked to the back of hls cell, sat down on the edge or his cot and did aot answer the last farewell. When the relatives reached the warden’s office they again renewed their request to see the execution, to which Mr. Collins replied: "Emphaticilly, no. Czolgosz will be klued at 7 »’ck>ck tomorrow, and if you apply to the warden in the afternoon you may be able to see the body.” The prison was absolutely quiet at I o’clock. A little crowd that had fathered about the main entrance at lusk quietly dispersed without any suggestion from police or guards. The superintendent and warden retired at 10 o’clock with tbe announcement that lhere will be nothing given out and no would enter or leave the prison until morning. Before the superin­ tendent retired the death watch re­ ported to him that Czolgosz was sleep­ ing soundly. Beside the two regular men on the death watch in tbe corritoc an additional guard sat In Czoltosz's cell all night Sunday Was th. Pr»4derrt*« Birthday. Business In Good Shape, Collections Prompt and Encouraging. New York. Oct 26.—R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: With mills, shops, factories and fur­ naces assured of full operation until the end of the year, as a rule, and many contracts already running far into 1902, there is no occasion for anx­ iety regarding the industrial situation. Jobbers are still urgently asking prompt deliveries by manufacturers of staple lines, while opening transac­ tions in fancy goods for the holidays are unusually early, showing that deal­ ers anticipate a large trade. In woolen goods conditions are quiet on account of the warm weather, but mills are fully occupied and pro­ ducers of knit goods have orders for some time. Strength In the raw ma­ terial is conspicuous, mills buying freely. More satisfactory prices are received by domestic wheat growers, last year’s figures being surpassed, notwithstanding tho large increased yield just harvested. Smaller crops of other cereals and hay caused the use of much wheat in fattening live stock, and with lard more than two cents above last year’s prices, and mess pork $3 a barrel higher, this has been a most profitable proceeding. Foreign buying is also heavy, exports for the week, Including flour, amount­ ing to 4,894,988 bushels, against 3,­ 954,260 last year and 3,188,492 In 1896. Failures for the week numbered in the United States 240, against 205 last year, and 29 in Canada against 28 test year. CARELESS HUNTERS. Lxnxlnr. Mich, Oct. 21 —0. H.

Uniontown, Pa., Oct. 28.—The west­ ern slope of the Allegheny mountains, through Fayette county, are ablaze from the Yough river Into West Vir­ ginia, are mountaineers are fleeing from their doomed homes with their families. Careless hunters started a dozen fires during the past week, and the brush is as dry as tinder. Streams that were never known to go dry are without water, and only a drenching rain will stop the swiftly spreading destruction. The fire has been spreading for a week and tbe glare at night can be seen for miles. The destruction has been enormous to crops, fences, barns, stock and dwellings, with many nar­ row escapes from cremation in homes that were surrounded by the flames. Detroit, OcL 28.—John Harrington, marshal of Woodmere and constable of Springwells township, bad a terrific fight Saturday night about 12 o’clock with four tramps, and after a hard struggle succeeded In landing three of them in jail.

Mark Twain once used a successful ruse to attract the attention of Presi­ dent Cleveland to an injustice which he thought was about to be done to Consul General Mason at Frankforf, one of the best men in the service.. Mason was notified that his resignation was expected and that a Mr. Rapp of Illinois was to be his successor. He was packing up his goods when Mark Twain happened around that way ami visited the consulate. Being Informed of the situation, the latter wrote a tetter to Ruth Cleveland, the baby daughter of the president, telling ber that be could not Interfere in matters of patronage because he was a Mugwump, but he considered it a Rhame that a man of experience and ability like Consul General Mason should be turned out*of otace simply because some Democrat who knew nothing about Its duties wanted the place. He said that he was acquaint­ ed with a great many consuls and that Captain Mason was the best he had ever known, and if her father ever con­ sulted ber about the consular service he suggested that she advise him not to disturb good men merely to give > places to politicians. About a month later Mr. Clemens re­ ceived a little note in President Cleve­ land's handwriting, in which Miss Ruth Cleveland presented her compli­ ments to Mark Twain, thanked him for calling attention to the threatened re­ moval of Consul Mason and said that if he knew of any similar cases the Judge Wiest at Lansing, denied tbe president would be glad to hear from of Charles H.

Home washed flannels are nice and last longer when one knows how to do the washing. ' The chief points to be remembered are that flannels must not be put either into hot or cold water; they must not be dried too quickly nor yet allowed to bang about a long time wet. and to preserve the color and texture of the wool no aikallcs should be used. Take a quarter of a pound of soap, shred It very fine and put It into an epameled saucepan, cover with one pint of cold water, bring it slowly to a boll, and when all tbe soap is dis solved it is ready for use. This Is suffi­ cient to lather two or three gallons of water. If flannels are very dirty, they re­ quire two washing waters, tbe tem­ perature of which should not be above 00 degrees F. Pour some of the dis­ solved soap into the warm water, and by briskly moving the hand about It makes a nice lather. Put the flannel Into this lather and squeeze and press It through tbe hands, but do not rub it, as this hardens it. squeezing it on the right aide In tbe first water and on the wrong side in the second. White and light colored flannels should be washed first and then the colored ones. After thoroughly washing the flan­ nels rinse them in warm water, and If the water Is bard a teaspoonful of ammonia to every four gallons of water will soften it and make the flan­ nels feel soft and nice. Ammonia must not, however, be used for colored flannels, for it will draw out tbe dye. If tbe water is very hard, soften It with a very light lather of soap, and a little salt can be added to fix the color. All flannels must be freed thorough­ ly from water before attempting to dry them, not by wringing, but either by passing through a wringer several times or by twisting them In a dry bowk Heavy bertor as be was, Pierre LorlUard once met hls match when he ran up against gray-bearded J&mea E. Kelly, who Introduced bookmaklnglnto this country. It was nearly a genera­ tion ago. and at Jerome Park. Kelly was laying 2% to 1 against one of Lorillard's horsey in a big stake event. The newa went to Mr. Lorillard, seated an hls coach on tbe. clubhouse lawn. “I’ll just take a little of the conceit out of that aawed-off Irishman,’’ said LorlUard to Wright Sanfdrd. Newbold Morris, John Hunter, and a few other congenial spirits. They started for the ring together. “I’ll lay $10,000 on my horse at that price. Kqlly,” said Mr. Lorillard, In hla princely fashion, expecting to see Kelly wilt and refuse to take the wager. “Certainly, Mr. Lorillard.’’ Then turning to his sheet writer. Kelly said: “25.000 against >10,000. Pierre I*orillard," Quickly he -turned to the tobacco magnate with a polite, “Much obliged , to you, Mr. Lorillard, very much obliged; would you or your friends care to bet another >10,000 at the same odds? should be delighted to accom­ modate you.” “What a nerve!” was all Mr. Loril­ lard could say as he turned on hls heel and walked away. “Jimmy" Kelly won the bet, for LorlUard’a horse was beaten.

The rottenness unearthed at Grand Rapids in the proposed hydraulic water works deal has extended from city officials to one of the attorneys in the trial of City Attorney Lant Salsbury. Monday afternoon State Senator Geo. E. Nichols, of Ionia, one of Salsbury’s attorneys, was arrested on the charge of bribery. Senator Nichols is a candi­ date for Attorney General and his ar­ rest created a profound sensation. At­ torney Nichols proclaims his innocence. We hope the whole rotten mess will tbe probed to the bottom, and every guilty man punished good and plenty. The people of this state are entitled to re­ lief from charges of boodling and brib­ ery which, if reports are true, often happens in high places and by ofiicials in responsible positions.

In some way he was thrown to the floor in such a jnanner as to break both bones of his right leg just above the ankle. Just how it happened seems to be wrapped in mystery, some claiming that Seymour Lenington of Rutlaud, threw him down, and others that he did not. Dr. Timmerman was called and Mr. Stanton was given medical attention. Later he was taken to bis home in Baltimore, and the latest report is that he is resting easily. The affair is deeply regretted by all, and especially by the partici­ pants. Church and Society. The L. O. T. M. Review will meet Wednesday evening, Nov. 6th. The W. H. M. S. of the M.

Extract from a Manila letter telling of the McKinley memorial exercises In that city, Sept 19th., 1901. The news of tbe president’s assassin­ ation was a terrible shock out here and all Manila is in mourning. Most every American in town is wearing the badge of mourning on the left arm and all the Civil Government employees, na­ tives and all have donned it. Thursday everything in Manila closed to attend the ceremonies hero held first in the Ayuntamiento Building and later on the Luneta. Both were very impress­ ive. The services in the Ayuntamiento were held in the large marble room and I have never seen more beautiful decorations. Tbe room was a mass of flags whose contrast with sombre black was beautiful. In the right wing was stationed the fine Rizal orchestra. All the Consuls, the Commission, the Com­ manding General, two Admirals and half the Navy and Army were present. The services were started by an “Invo­ cation" played by the orchestra. Then came a prayer by Rev. Dr. Stuntz. The orchestra then brought tears to the eyee of all present by playing “Nearer My God to Thee." After this, an ad­ dress by Rev. Dr. Stuntz. The orchestra then played tbe beautiful funeral march of Meyerbeer and while it was being played one could have heard a pin drop. The Honorable Arellano, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court gave an address in Spanish and the orchestra followed up with “Rock of Apes." Father McKinnon, the Cath­ olic Chaplain, then delivered a very good address which was followed by the Doxology. Father McKinnon pro­ nounced the benediction aud the or­ chestra played the “Star Spangled Ban­ ner” and all was over. From the Ayuntamlentb every one went to the Luneta where was held one of the most impressive scenes I have ever witness­ ed. All the troops iu Manila and quite a number from nearby posts were ordered in to take part. In the center of the Luneta they erected a bier on which was the picture of the President draped in Hags and mourn­ ing. Troops were massed four com­ panies deep on three sides, the cavalry in the rear. Right at the beginning of the Maiecon drive a light battery or six pieces was stationed unlimbered. The Brooklyn, New York, Yorktown and Manila were anchored off the breakwater. At the drop of the time ball Fort Santiago and the four ships began firing a salute. The troops closed in and after taking position Chaplain Walk ley opened with a short prayer after which General Chaffee read the order announcing the Presi­ dent's death. After the reading of the order the artillery band played a dirge and then . occurred the most beautiful ceremony of the day. The colors of the fifteen regiments advanced to the bier and were draped by the (General and his Aides. Chaplain Walkley then read a lesson from the Scripture and at its conclusion the bands all struck up “America" everyone singing. At the close of tbe singing the battery on the 3J» to7xn 75 to 2.00 Coal, per ton Wood,per cord.... Balt, per bbl............ Tlmothv.................. iJoin | Now.

The stalks are woody bush and some of the main s’ -rtks are three-fourths of an inch in diameter, althongh the average main stalk is not more than one-fourth of an inch in diameter. The cotton plant branches the same as most shurte and on these branches grow the flow­ ers which form the cotton pods. As soon a-* the cotton is ripe theee pods split in four joints at the end of th^ jiud. and the cotton, which much reee^ bles tine wool, is ready for picking. The cotton is gathered by hand in bags or baskets and afterwards run through a rr;.»chiue calks! a gin. which separates the seeds from the cotton. If left in th- pods very long after they have split open, much of the cotton is car­ ried away by the wind.

Birmingham ttc two days anti then decided to go to Mobile Junction to take a change of railroads again. We went down to the yards to wait for a passenger train, but getting tired of s anding around we went, into a box car to sit down and wait for our train. That is the last that I remember until the next morning, when we woke up and found that the car door was . shut and locked on the outside. We heard some one passing the car and tailed to him to let us out He did so, . and informed us that we were at New Decatur. Alabama, on the banks of the Tennessee river, near the Tennessee st«te line. We had evidently fallen asleep in the car, been locked in, and carried northward on the L. & N. tracks. We found ‘that we were ninety miles from Birmingham, where we had en tered the car to wait for an A. G. S. passenger train. After eating our din­ ner we caught a stock train back to Birmingham, travelling one hundred and eighty miles oat of our way, as my Partner said, “just to get our dinner.” We kept awake the next night and caught an A. G. S. train to Mobile Junction. From here we caught a train on the Southern railroad and ^veiled through the coal districts of Alabama, until we reached Binningham Junction, going from there to HA5TINO5, MICHIGAN, NOVEMBER 7, IWI Selma, on the Alabama.

So many peculiar things have de­ veloped during the Schley trial that we believe Spain could gain something by ordering an investigation. After trials of both protection and tree trade the American people are thoroughly convinced that a little of the latter goes a long ways.

Tbs end of such corruption for the United States is either anarchy or abBOluUsm. No thoughtful citisen can desire either of these. Therefore erery thoughtful citizen should make a de­ termined effort to prevent his party trom falling into corrupt hands. In foreign exports during the first Hine months of the * present year the United States has headed the list of all the nationh io the world. The aggre­ gate for this country is. $1,024,605,181, Great Britain standing second with $1,018,845,768. Our foreign exports are nearly $1,000,000,000 a year larger than <8 1875. England seems to be suffering a full measure of adverse fortune. The Boer War is apparently no nearer such an wd as the British desire than it was a year ago. America is fast supplanting the mother country in supplying the World’s needs in manufactured products. And now it is asserted that King Ed­ ward is suffering from a cancer. It is high time that the honest citiTanship of this country should awake? to the necessity of defeating corrupt men who attempt to lead political parties in cities, counties and even states, or who are placed in nomination for political offices. If ever there was a time when clean-handed honest men should be selected for such positions and corrtipt men relegated to private kite, that time is now.

Springfield, Ill., Oct, 22.-The su­ preme court of Illinois today handed down an opinion sustainin ing the de­ cision of Judge O. P. Thompson of the Sangamon circuit court In what is known as the Chicago Teacher’s case. Judge Thompson granted a writ of mandamus on petition of members of the Chicago Teacher’s Federation to compel the state board of equalization to assess the franchises of a number of Chicago corporations at their actual value as indicated by the market value. The decision is far reaching, will completely revolutionize assessment methods in Illinois and add millions of dollars to the State’s tax funds. The opinion is very clear and leaves no room for doubt on any point. The court states the board of equalization and the corporations have no case whatever. The decision practically sets the rule for obtaining the value of intangible property. The bonds and market value of stock are to be added and the tangi­ ble property deducted. On the remain­ der taxes are to be assessed. In one instance the court goes so far as to es­ timate tjhe value of the stock of the People’s \Gas Co., and to say that this company'is short about 88,000,000 in its assessment. to majestic, Clearing Sale Prices are making great changes * in McCOY’S stock of New Furniture NEW GOODS are constantly received, and are being readily sold at the reduced prices placed upon them.

No other one thing causes so many deaths among young chicks as wet cornmeal, left where they can run into It. trampling the food with their dirty feet and then leaving a large part of it to for­ meat, which ft is sure to do In the warm sunshine. The food for the chicks should be as nearly dry as It can | be to feed conveniently, and cornmeal should never be given to small chicks except as it is mixed into a drjL crum­ bly state. A very good feed for little chicks is cornmeal, bran and ground oats, equal parts. For this purpose the oatmeal should be sifted, so as to re­ move all eoarse matter, then mix and bake hard like a johnnycake. To get this bread In good shape to feed it should be run through a mill and’ ground fine. But I believe in giving some dry grains from the start — pinhead ©st­ meal, millet, finely cracked- corn and wheat The digestion of the chicken is naturally strong if Dot weakened by feeding exclusively on soft food. Some fine grit and charcoal should be placed where they can get at it handy. They will eat only what they require of this. Whole corn should not be given to chickens until they are quite large. The kernels are too large for them to digest well, and its heating nature makes it likely to ferment in their gizzards, the same as cornmeal will do if eaten freely when digestion is Im­ paired. I have found wheat to be an excellent feed for chickens after they are 8 or 10 weeks old. Some poultry raisers prefer the small, shrunken grains that go out with the screenings in cleaning to the large, plump grains owing to their being harder and having kw starch and a greater proportion of the nitrogenous nutrition that is re­ quired to promote growth and make toathara.-A.

The primary ob­ ject of the exposition was to advance the friendly relations and commercial intercourse between the United.States and the other countries of the two Americas. In this respect it has been a decided success. Tbe financial loss will be In the neighborhood of 13,000.­ 000. The first mortgage bonds, amounting to'32.500.000. will be paid Ln full.

An unusually large amount of corn will be cut thia fall. The shortage of pasture made it necessary for many farmers to begin feeding tn July. This long season will require an immense amount of forage, and as corn will Im? exceedingly scarce farmers will depend more than usual upon the fodder crop to carry their animals through. As a general rule, green fodder, particularly this year. Is more valuable fed directly after cutting than at any other time if It is sufficiently mature to make good forage. In view of all this Tbe Amer­ ican Agriculturist advises as follows: Thr wise farmer therefore will utilise his corn crop to the best advantage. If he has stock that can be fattened on the whole corn plant before frost or at any rate partly fattened before that time, he will cut his corn now and feed it at once. If he can get his cattle or sheep to market before frost cornea, they will be more profitable' than If he simply keeps them in good flesh, cuts and cures his corn and attempts to fat­ ten them this winter when they are a little older. . Where corn is Intended for fodder it should be allowed to mature fairly well before cutting is started. However, If a great deal Is to be taken care of be­ gin cutting when it is still on the green order. Cut about one-half a shock, allow to cure a day or two, then cut the remainder. -This will result In a fodder highly digestible, although not quite so heavy *as it would have been had It remained uncut a week or so longer. If possible, the cutting should be delayed until the lower blades have died and tbe kernels are well dented. In other words. It should be well ad­ Yea you have had the same experi­ vanced in the dough stage. ence that I used to have with the wbolt The size of the shock will of coarse pen of hogs, little and big, generally depend upon the character of the corn to the undivided advantage of tbe big­ and somewhat upon the practice in the locality. In the central west shocks sixteen hills square seem to be favor­ ites, but farther east smaller shocks, ranging all the way from eight to twelve hills square, are most common, Tills year the corn Is short and can be handled very easily with a corn binder. -- Bedford.

Nov. 9th, 1901, at her home in Prickardville, after a Jong and painful ill­ ness, Luella, wife of Frank Hammond* and daughter of Walter Norton and wife, passed from thia life at the early age of 22 yra., 10 mo., and 2 days. More than & year ago Luella waa stricken down with typhoid fever* which held her between life and death many weeks. By the aid of-skiDed physicians and able nurses, she waa spared to her friends, and it was hoped by all her strength would return. For a time she seemed to rally so that she rode out and called on her neighbors and took charge of her housework and appeared more like bsr happy contented self. It waa not to last long, however. About eight weeks ago she was again taken to her bed, fig this time to rise no more. Everything that could be done was done to restore her to health, but to no avail. She Lad been married but three years and was a loving and loved wife, bad a beautiful and happy home, everything conducive to a long and happy life, until about a year ago, when the dreaded fever overcame her. She had been a member of the M. E. church for years and her daily walk was that,of a Christian. Her husband, parents, and two sisters were devoted to her every want. Flowers in profusion covered the beautiful casket which held the prec­ ious remains, and many were the rel­ atives and friends who followed her to her last resting place in Cedar Creek cemetery. The funeral services oc­ curred at the residence, Rev. Tripp of Hastings, officiating. The relative* from abroad were Miss Edith Ham- . inond of Kalamazoo and H. Toiles andwife of Lake Odessa. The relatives wish to thank the friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted them during the time of their bereavement. Ouray, CoL, Oct. 87,1901. Kalamazoo, the victim.

Professor Hempstead, as he was nam'd, bad been charged to pick up all the old Greek manuscripts to be had for money, and it was his Imiulries for such documents that doubtless led to our undoing.

A BATTERED OLD SCHOONER, believed held a large number of manm scripts and valuable coins, but he had delayed the opening of It that some of bls friends might be present. Three or four of them were going to hia Island home on the morrow, and he would be glad to have as many of us foreigners go along as could make It convenient The voyage would be made In his schooner, and there would be no trou­ ble about feeding and lodging all wbo chose to go. Aside from tbe English party, there were Americans. Germans and French­ men to the number of 20 in Athens, and when the list was made up we numbered over 40, of whom 10 were ladiea. When we came on board tbe schooner, there was considerable sur­ prise at finding her tbe craft she was. She was nothing more than a trader, and her accommodations were of the most primitive character. Mr. Talantl's friends, who were supposed to be emi­ nent professors, turned out to be a common looking lot. and not Inclined to be sociable, but we were out for a jaunt and might expect a few draw­ backs. We had a favorable wind for the voyage, and the professor and oth­ ers felt that It would be the event of fchelr lives. As fhe weather was pleas­ ant and we bad brought lunch from the hotel, our noonday meal was a sort of picnic. For an hour or two after tbe meal Profeasor Hempstead enter­ tained us with a historic lecture, and time passed pleasantly for all hands. My friend could speak Greek, but when he attempted to enter into con­ versation with Mr. Talautl’s friends he found them surly enough. This ex­ ited our surprise, as they were sup­ posed to be gentlemen. When we came to look them over, we oegan to get a little suspicious. Their *wuaf® knd manners did not correspond with their dress, and they did not seem to be at their ease.»We also caught one of them exchanging a wink and a grin with oue of the common sailors, and this caused us much worrlment.

I do not think there was a firearm among them, while the Greeks seemed overanxious to use their knives. There were protestations and threats of the law, but Talanti only smiled at them ami ordered the work to go on. Each man in our crowd was reg­ ularly held up-that is. bls pockets were thoroughly searched, and every­ thing of value was taken. The women were requested to hand over, and each one had her watch am! rings In hand as she moved up. In the course of half an hour the last one was ashore, and then Talanti took off his bat, made a sweep­ ing bow and sailed away with his pi­ ratical crew. He had no sooner gone than a gang of half a dozen villainous looking men came down from the huts. They told us they were fishermen, but their actions belled the statement. Their first move was to demand cash, and great was their indignation and disappointment at befog told that Tnlanti’s crowd had taken tbe last coin. When sure of this, they left us. and an hour later two genuine fishermen* camo ashore In tbelr boat. There were a doz<>n vessels within five or six miles of us, and a dollar would have been big pay for them to sail out and notify the nearest craft of our situation; but. real­ izing ohr helplessness. they demanded the sum of <100. As there was no mon­ ey to pay them, they were finally, pre­ vailed upon to take an I O U signed by all the men of tbe party. It was almost dark when a battered old schooner came sailing up to take us off, and the terms were $3 apiece, to be paid In Athens. We spent a dreary night on deck and landed In the city at noon next day. Immediate no­ tice was given to the various consuls and to the Greek government, but do one had any faith that anything would be accomplished. Tbe government made loud promises and seemed to be making all possible efforts, but as a matter of fact Mr. Talanti was not even pursued. He never cbuld have put up and carried through such a job without a number of officials standing In with him. and each and every one of them doubtless shared in the plun­ der when It was divided. It was said that the money and jewelry amounted to about $6,000. and the only consola­ tion any of the victims had was the privilege of abusing a country where such things could be carried out Tbe ancient Egyptians were skilled In tbe art of tanning leather and man­ ufactured It In various ways and for various purposes besides that of fur­ nishing covering for tbe feet Indeed it 1b to those builders of the pyramids that we are Indebted for tbe first artis­ tic forms of footwear, and so far as can be ascertained from history, and the researches ot archaeologists the Egyptians were the first shoemakers who were worthy of the name.

T is a good plan for every bather to know something of the soap he uses. There is a well-founded objection to using a floor-deaning soap upon the human body. Ivory Soap is the bather’s soap. It costs more than common soaps, but the difference is in the ingredients and making. Why not treat yourself with a little respect. Is not the human skin with its marvellous delicacy entitled to pure soap? Ivory Soap—it floats. Rheumatism Omeda a 111 Many people believe Rheu­ matism xs- a disease of the blood. Perhaps it is, and perhaps it is not. If it is a blood disease, why is it the pain often stays in the same place ? Why is it the blood doesn’t always carry the disease all over the body and into every muscle and joint? Your doctor may be able to explain it, but it is all guesswork any­ how. Omega Oil is what you ought to use for Rheumatism. It is to be well rubbed on the place where the pain is. No matter whether the trouble is in the blood or not—Omega Oil goes in, finds it out and cures it. What’s the odds so long as you get relief? Drink plenty of fresh water every night and morning while using Omega Oil. The water will keep the kidneys wdl flushed, and will bring about a quicker cure of Rheum**! tism.

'.This is a business transaction that wiH be pleas­ ing to everybody. / Daring the first four months of the present fiscal year the government rev­ enue has exceeded expenditures by over •87,000,000, which speaks volumes for our wonderful business growth. Eleven years ago Colorado hunters tramped all over the Cripple Creek dis­ trict, ignorant of the wonderful riches hidden in the ground underneath their feet. Colorado is to be congratulated now on having the richest gold field in the world for the sire of it, 220,000,000 worth of the yellow metal being taken out every year from this one district. The American “clean up" of Havana is presenting some wonderful changes intmore ways than one. Since the first of March 100 men have been regularly employed in killing mosquitoes, and up to the first of October there have been but five deaths from yellow fever, while the average death rate from this dis­ ease under Spanish rule for three months was 296. Cuba will miss the American health department If American manufacturers do not believe that they must keep up not only with the times but in advance of them as they have always done in the I>ast. just such incidents as came to the notioe of Owosso people early this week should serve such notice upon them. Six furniture men from Grand Rapids Which has the reputation of being the furniture city of the world, passed through Owosso on their way to Eu­ rope, where they will work in furniture factories and show the furniture work­ ers the way in which Americans do things when they want to do them a little better and faster than any other people on the fice of the earth can do them. Europe seems to have an eye for’ business and is evidently trying to find out the secret of the American supremacy in trade and manufacture Which has recently begun to trouble her so much.--Ouxwso Timex. .

Xkk's position on the tariff question* Our position is this and was so stated: '‘When any American Industry (not tbe tin industry alone) becomes so great that it oau enter the markets of the world and undersell all competitors^ the tariff should be removed." The till manu­ facturers of this country are able to do . this; the beet sugar interests of this Blate and country are not able to do it. Therefore take the tariff off of tin and keep the tariff on sugar. But if the beet sugar interests ever- reach the point -when they can, and do, undersell foreign sugar manufacturers in their own markets then we believe it is time to take the tariff off of sugar, and not to do it would be unjust We believe in America for Americans, and in pro­ tecting our industries- as long as they need protection, but when they have reached the stage that they can under­ sell all foreigners in their own markets it is time to take the tariff off. This we advocate not alone with tin, but all pr^dudx. Tin and sugar were taken as examples, simply baetuse they were mentioned in the Charlotte Republican article to which we replied. ADDITIONAL. LOCAL. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Germany is becoming greatly alarmed at the wonderful growth of American trade, which has grown to wonderful proportions. In a letter recently re­ ceived at the department U. 8. Consul General Mason says: “It appears that the United states not only retains its commanding lead as tbe country having by far the larg­ est and most valuable direct export trade to Germany, but i| has passed Russia and risen from fourth to third place among nations in respect to the bulk ana value of imports from Ger­ many. Taking the entire American continent, including the West India islands, into the account, we find that the total imports from the western hemisphere to Germany rose from 8215,152,000 in 1891 to 8380,324,000 in 1900, of which 8242,950.400, or 64 per cent of the whole amount during tbe latter year came from the United States. “The total exports from Germany to the western hemisphere rose from 8125,­ 664,000 in 1891 to 8166,124,000 in 1900, of which the share of the United States rose from 885,204,000 to 8101,648,600 during the same period. In other words the United States takes more than 63 per cent of all German exports to the American continent. Such is the rec­ ord down to the close of 1900.” “Baron Von Waltenhausen, profes­ sor of political economy, in a memorial to the government on the subject sees in the future only increasing indebted­ ness of Europe to America; the ab­ sorption by American capital of Eu­ ropean state, municipal and industrial securities, with the resulting diminish­ ed ability of the old world to endure taxation; the growth of unproductive indebtedness; emigration of manufac­ turers and skilled operatives; trans­ planting of industries; diminished em­ ployment for labor; and finally weaken­ ing of national financial and military strength. ‘The United States, on the contrary,* says the memorial, ‘will with increasing growth of .their economic power, gaitr in political might. Al­ ready they enlarge their army and navy. They will in the future acquire colonies, call the Pacific ocean their own, and realize their ideal of interna­ tional arbitration by becoming them­ selves the arbitrators.’ “Finally the professor recommends to Germany a genera) or maximum tariff, with elastic facility to increase the rates to any point ‘that may be neces­ sary for protection against the Ameri­ can invasion.” Transfers for the Week. Ending Nov. Bottom Refuses to Drop Out. The time has lengthened into years now since the Free Traders first began to disparage the wonderful prosperity which was ushered in by the Dingley law by saying that it was only tem­ porary, a sort of an old style Western boom affair and that before long the bottom would drop out and we would all be in the depths. Industrial condi­ tions still refuse to bear out this pre­ diction, however, and in spite of the prophecy of a crash, prosperity is still on the increase. The anticipations of even the most optimistic have been ex­ ceeded- It miffht well have been ex­ lime, pected that things would halt a *' but as yet there are no signs even of that. Changes were made in the in­ ternal revenue law with the express purpose of cutting down the surplus, but a treasury surplus is not so easily reduced while the Protective Tariff policy is in full sway. From J une 30, 1900, to September 26 of the same year the receipts of the government were 8136,000,000. According to Secretary Gage it was estimated, that owing to the changes made, the revenue would fall off during the time covered by 87,500,000; but as a matter of fact, on account of the increased volume of business, the decrease has amounted to only 83,000,000. Manifestly the bottom has not begun to drop out of things yet. At a reednt republican convention held in Virginia there were presept as delegates, four of the five living ex-Con­ federate Generals of the State. This fact is most remarkable as showing the wonderful change in political senti­ ment of the south. Time was, and not very long ago at that, when the repub­ lican party was looked upon by south­ erners as the embodiment of everything that was wrong, and everything that was objectionable. The wonderful in­ dustrial growth of the south in the past few years however, is fast chang­ ing that sentiment, as the people of that section have commenced to realize the great benefits to that section of the country of a protective tariff. The new and rapidly developing industrial life of the south is opening the eyes of ( voters and the old hatred is passing (away, It is interesting to note that when the purchase of Louisiana in 1803 was before the people there were the same kind of croakers that kicked over the acquisition of tbe Philippines. The price paid for Louisiana was 815,000,­ 000. The crop of wheat harvested last year from the territory secured by the Louisiana purchase brought ten times as much to the producers as the original cost of the territory. Tbe corn crop harvested last year brought 21 times The Spanish Chamber of Deputies as much as the purchase price which Jefferson paid Napoleon.

The governor says the tetter action. In which Indian labor could be largely utilized, would help to make farmer* of the Indian*, and that further maintenance of th tribal relation* as now conducted and the retention of reservation agencies around which the Indians cluster and live in idleness on government rations, most seriously retard the civilization of the Indians. Kill* Sweetheart and Self. Elizabetntown, Tenn., Nov. 12.— Frank Kidwell, aged 23, yesterday shot and killed his sweetheart. Ada Thompson, aged 16, and then commit­ ted suicide.

The braises of some varieties, while disfiguring tbe fralt. do not cause the •pple to rot rapidly. On tbe other band, there are many varieties which will rot rapidly when once braised. Bruises may be avoided by careful handling, and nothing should Induce the practice adopted by some people ot Hhaklng the apples from the trees. There are many kinds of receptacles for picking apples Ip. but half bushel "baskets are about as convenient and satisfactory as any. They should be lined with some soft material to pre­ vent braising, as too much caution can­ not be taken in this regard. Tbe stem should remain on the apple, as if broken off decay Is more likely to set In. The fruit may be either sorted Im­ mediately or taken to a storehouse and done at some future time.

Turning to the patient, she said, "There, take this, and may you soon get better." Her wish was evidently gratified, for the next day when she called at the hospital to see the good effects of a shave on the rheumatic patient she was told tbtat shortly after she had left on the previous day he had shown such marked improvement that he said he was able to get up and hurriedly left the hospital before a barber had been summoned.

Some claim that It Is quite natural for a hen to remain on the nest for a long time while laying sometimes for several hours; that It Is hard work and they need a long rest after laying. Close observation for two seasons past convinces us that a hen In proper con­ dition wants to leave the nest, get a drink and go to scratching very soon after she lays. When onr bens are ready to leave the nest inside of half an hour after entering, we-are satlsiicd they are In good laying condition, if they stay on for one, two or three hours, we believe It is because they are either too fat. constipated or going broody.

Statistics show that the world's wheat Drop for 1901 was larger than for either nt the two previous years,. which will account for the low price for that staple grain. There was a time when the United States imported horses regularly and ^ad practicaHy no exporting record in that line. In the last fiscal year, how­ ever, we exported 65,000 head and in the |MUt five years have sold horses abroad the value of 817,000,000. Adjutant General Corbin reports the ■Casualties in the Philippines for three years as 3,378 men and 182 officers killed, and 2,646 men wounded.

The Franco-Prussian 'Wkr cost something over a quarter of Mb at our civil war did, and the Crimean War about a fifth. r . That the forces for right and good government can overcome bad influ­ ences and tendencies to a corrupt govflmraent was amply demonstrated in the election of Hon. Seth Low, as Mayor of Greater New York. His elec­ tion cannot be claimed as any party victory, but simply a desire on the part Of the better classes of people of Great­ er New York, irrespective of party lines, to wipe out the corrupt TamMaay hall gang, under the leadership of Moss Croker.

They are tin largest of all breeds. very handsome In appearance, vigorous and hardy They are tbe very best of winter lay ers, producing an abundance of large handsome eggs at just that time in iht year when prices are the highest. The hens are good setters, and inotbefij. The chicks are strong .from the first, good growers and easily raised. The great objection to this -breed is their feathered legs, and this objection . la more serious now than formerly, as the tendency of fancy breeding has been toward heavier leg and toe tenth- OlO OF THB BAREFOOTS. erlng. This tendency is to be viewed with alarm. We have already seen the Buff and Partridge Cochins practically taken out of the ranks of utility breeds by forcing them to be first of allv feath­ er producers. It will be too. bad if the Brahmas, the grandest of all breeds, shall be forced to follow them. Feathers on the feet and legs of chickens are objectionable from a prac­ tical standpoint. They become accumu­ lators of filth In pens und yards and present an unsightly apjiearance upor. the dressed carcass. Neither do they add to tbe beauty of the fowl. It la true we have been accustomed ta think that they are a necessary adjunct tc ’ the Asiatic breeds, but why should It be so? Laying aside prejudice, whe shall say that a flue light Brahma would not be as handsome with nice clean yellow legs and feet as with s mass of more or less soiled feathers hiding those members? Having been an admirer of light Brahmas from boyhood and thinking they would be Improved both in utility and appearance If they could be pro­ duced with featherless legs and feet • have been experimenting for years with that object In view. It has been no easy task. My first efforts- were along the line of crossing with clean legged breeds, but the results were so unsatisfactory that 1 aoon abandoned that method. It seems out of place to alloy the blood of the grand old breed with that of any other. I then began with birds of absolutely pure breeding, selecting those with as light leg and toe feathering as 1 could find and breeding from the cleanest legged of their descendants until I have succeeded In establishing a strain of pure bred light Brahmas that are practically without leg and toe feather ing, and they a^e beauties, as the very lifelike drawing by Mr. Richardson, ac­ companying this article, clearly shows �.

This treaty la Intended to replace the first Hay Pauncefota treaty That convention was amended so extensive­ ly by the United States senate at Its last session that tbe British governme., declined to ratify II Within a few weeks negotiations began afresh between Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncetote. which have just resulted In the signature of the new treaty' drawn with special reference to the objections found by tbe senate with the first treity. Tbe principal point ot difference be­ tween the new and tbe tailed treaty Is the withdrawal ot Britain from the Joint guarantee of the neutrality of the canal, thus leaving the United Slates the sole guarantor. Tbe excision of the old provision respecting the right to fortify the canal leaves that right by Inference optional with the United States. All commerce of whatever nationality passing through the canal will tare alike; there will be no dis­ crimination In rates In favor of United States shipping.

Irl Hicks was dead, he neverjwas in better health, and nev­ er did a harder and more successful year’s work than that just closing. /He has just completed his large and splen­ did Almaaac for 1902 and, with his staff of able helpers, has brought his journal,? Word and Works, justly for­ ward into international reputation. For a quarter of a century Mr. Hicks has grown in reputation and useful­ ness as the people’s astronomer, and forecaster of storms and the character of coming seasons. Never were his weather; forecasts? so sought after as now, his timely warning of a serious drought this year having saved the peo­ ple from loss and suffering. Millions of bushels of wheat were harvested through his advice to plant crops that would mature early. The American jM-ople will certainly stand by Prof. Hicks, when it costs them so little and the benefits are so great. His fine Almay/ic of 200 pages is only 25c, and his splendid family journal is only one dol­ lar a year including the Almanac. Send to Word and \\ orks Pub. Co., C„, 2201 Locust SL» St. Louis Mo.

Bottles cast Into the sea near the equator tend west­ ward and usually bring up in the West Indies or on the coast of Mexico. Along our Atlantic coast and north of the fortieth parallel bottles generally drift to tbe northward and eastward and are picked up on the north coast of Ireland or even farther north. A fact not yet explained is that bottles thrown into the stretch of the Atlantic that Iles between latitude 25 degrees to 40 degrees north and longitude 30 degrees to 60 degrees west, which la crossed by numerous steamship routes, are very rarely seen again. Only six out of many hundreds have been recovered since 1888. In his recent work on Luzon Dr. Rlnne of Hanover gives an Interesting description of a visit to the gold dig­ gings in the Candelaria goldfield. In the more elevated portions of the Can­ delaria district little trouble is given by water, but the air in the mines is often too foul to breathe. Ventilation Is se­ cured by lowering into the shaft a bas­ ket of burning coals. If there are two connecting shafts, this device creates a good draft down one and up the other. Dr. Rlnne’s own shaft had reached the depth of 60 feet. At tbe bottom nearly naked workmen were cutting galleries by the light of little torches and sending up baskets of ore and refuse. These were hauled up by means of a wooden capstan worked by two men. This is Filipino gold mining as it has been carried on from time im­ memorial. The gold bearing ore is then crushed by pounding with stones or on a larger scale ground in an arrasta, or mill, driven by a yoke of oxen. It is then washed in shallow wooden pans to get rid of tbe bulk of tbe lighter material. The product of this first washing is again washed in cocoanut shells and yields a quantity of'gold in dust and small particles. A vegetable sap called gogo Is used in this process to precipitate the finer duet. Finally the dust is packed in small mussel shells and melted over a charcoal fire. This accounts for the peculiar shell-like form in which Fili­ pino gold appears In the market Clothing and Disease. Does the Introduction of civilized clothing among savages breed disease and lumuiiucnt infirmities? It uxiu *1 has unn been uetu observed ouserveu recently In the Philippine® that the ■Avncrna wbn hnvo nrtnnfnA savages who have adopted civilized ' clothing have suffered In their general health. The wearing of a high silk hat for example, has produced brain trouble, while even the strain of wear­ ing pyjamas has caused serious nerv­ ous disorders. So serious have been the results in some cases that tbe phy­ sicians sent out to care for the soldiers have mentioned the new dangers in their reports. How ArtlSclal Ivory Is Made. Artificial ivory makers now use a material prepared from the bones of sheep and the waste pieces of deer and kid skin. The bones are macerated and bleached In chloride of lime for a fortnight, then heated by steam with the akin until a fluid mass is formed, when a little alum Is added. Tbe prod­ uct is filtered, dried in air and hard­ ened in a bath of alum, the white, .ough plates resulting being more easily worked than natural Ivory.

Rarely has the demand been so ex­ tensive in Parts for linens as this sum­ mer. The materials have been manu­ factured in the prettiest designs and* 5^1°™- Some examples quite resemble tweed or coarse grained cloth, yet all have the practical qualities of a wash­ ing material. The Increasing popular­ ity for such gowns has certainly brought forth an enormous display of beautiful designs. It may be Interesting to note that not many years ago a chic tyrislenne would certainly not have promenaded in the street dressed In a white pique or linen costume, whereas today the making of a linen toilet has reached almost the perfection of a tailor made garment or even the more elegant toi­ lettes de vlslte.

All day Sunday Wilkin re­ mained around home and much of the time was put in drinking hard cider. By evening he was ready for any kind of trouble. His little son came Into the house and was seized by the drunken man. who beat him terribly with a board. The wife and mother - I 7 ftfl 6 at 23|l2 40X25, protested such treatment, and Wil­ kin threatened to kill her if she did not go away and keep quiet With a ruah. the mother caught her little one in her arms and started for the home of her father, Jacob Stokes, who lived but a short distance down the road. Wilkin caught up a gun anu followed the fleeing woman, shooting after her as she ran. Mr. and Mrs. Stokes, heard the noise and came out to the front porch to see what the trouble was. Wilkin saw them, and pointing the gun at them, fired. The charge struck MYxStokes in the side of the head and he staggered to the side of the porch. Mrs. Stokes was shot in the face and her nose and ears were shot off. Stokes managed to stagger through the door, close and locked IL Wilkin then shot the lock off aud rushed into the house, screaming like a madman. He was met by an 18-yearold son of Stokes, and aimed his gun at the lad with murderous intent. Young Stokes secured a gufi from an­ other room and fired the charge into Wilkin’s head, blowing out his brains, killing him Instantly. When the man lay dead on the floor young Stokes came to town and told of the tragedy, offering to give himself up. Rescuers went to the bouse and the Injured were cared for.

STATE PIONEER ASS’N (01IR1 CALENDAR GREAT MACTABLE DAY s �What the President Says on Important Subjects. TRUSTS AND RECIPROCITY How He Would Deal With These Problems. He Declare* P«blteity I* at Preseat kKvIla «r Coi Bedaetlea el Thia PhlU»»la*S Washington, Dec. 3.—Tbe preaident la bto annual message to congress The congress assembles this year un­ Ger the shadow of a great calamity. On the Oth of September President MeKialey was shot by an anarchist while attending the Pan-American expos!Una at Buffalo and died in that city the 14th of that month. t Of the last seven elected president* is the third who has been murdered. I and the bare recital of this fact is sufficient to justify grave alarm among •Ji loyal American'citizens. Moreover, the circumstances of this, the third as aasstoation of an American president, have a peculiarly sinister significance. Both President Lincoln and President Garfield were killed by assassins of types unfortunately not uncommon in history. President Lincoln falling a jWotim to the terrible passions aroused *by four years of civil war and Pres I Gent Garfield to the revengeful vanity of a disappointed office seeker. Presi­ dent McKinley was killed by an utter­ ly depraved criminal belonging to that body of criminals who object to all governments, good and bad alike, wbo are against any form of popular lib erty If It is guaranteed by even the niiMrt just and liberal laws and who are as hostile to the upright exponent of a free people's sober will as to the tyrannical and Irresponsible despot . The president continues with eulogy of Mr. McKinley, then turns to the subject of anarchy, denouncing its doctrines and ’preachers. He says: I earnestly recommend to the congress that In the exercise of its wise dlscretlso It should take Into consideration the coming to this country of anarch­ ists or persons professing principles bastile to all government and justify­ ing the murder of those placed in au­ thority. Such Individuals as those who Hot long ago gathered In open meeting to glorify the murder of King Hum­ bert of Italy perpetrate a crime, and the law should insure their rigorous punishment. They and those like them should be kept out of this country, and If found here they should be promptly (deported to the country whence they came, and farreacblng provision should be made for the punishment of those Who stay. No matter calls more urgently for the wisest thought of the congress. only on condition of conferring im­ mense Incidental benefits upon oth­ ers. Baccessful enterprise of ths type which benefits all mankind can only exist if the conditions are such as to offer great prizes as the rewards of The president adds that there are many reasons for caution in dealing with corporations. He says: ' The same business conditions which have produced the great aggregations of corporate and individual wealth have made them very potent factors in international commercial competition. Moreover. It cannot too often be pointed out that to strike with ignorant violence at the interests of one set of men almost Inevitably endangers the interests of all The fundamental rule in our natiimgl life—the rule which un­ derlies all others—is that, on the whole and In the long run, we shall go up or down together. • \ The mechanism of modern business is so delicate that extreme care must be taken not to interfere with it In a spirit of rashness or ignorance. In dealing with business Interests, for the government to undertake by crude and ill considered legislation to do what may turn out to be bad, would be to incur the risk of such farreacb­ lng national disaster that it would be preferable to undertake nothing at alt The men wbo demand the impossible or tbe undesirable serve as the allies of the forces with which they are nom­ inally at war, for they hamper those who would endeavor to find out in ra­ tional fashion what tbe wrongs really are and to what extent and in what manner It is practicable to apply reme­ dies. All this is true, and yet It ts also true that there are real and grave evils, one of the chief being overcapitaliza­ tion because of its many baleful con­ sequences, and a resolute and practical effort must be made to correct these evils. It is no limitation upon property rights or freedom of contract to re­ quire that when men receive from gov­ ernment the privilege of doing busi­ ness under corporate form, which frees them from Individual responsibility and enables them to call into their en­ terprises the capital of the public, they shall do so upon absolutely truthful representations as to the value of the property In which the capital Is to be invested. Corporations engaged In in­ terstate commerce should be regulated If they are found to exercise a license working to the public injury. It should be as much the aim of those who seek for social betterment to rid the busi­ ness world of crimes of ennning as to rid the entire body politic of crimes of violence. Great corporations exist only because they are created and safe­ guarded by our institutions, and it is therefore our right and our duty to see that they work lu harmony with these institutions. The first essential in determining bow to deal with tbe greet industrial combinations Is knowledge of the facts —publicity. In tbe Interest of the pub­ lic the government should have the right to inspect and examine tbe work­ ings of tbe great corporations engaged in Interstate business. Publicity is the only sure remedy which we can now Invoke. What further remedies are needed In the way of governmental regulation or taxation can only be de­ termined after publicity has been ob­ tained by process of law aud In the course of administration. Tbe first requisite Is knowledge, full and com­ plete-knowledge which may be made public to the world. Artificial bodies, such as corporations and joint stock or other association!*, depending upon any statutory law for their existence or privileges should be subject to proper governmental super­ vision, and full and accurate informa­ tion as to their operations should be made public regularly at reasonable intervals. The large corporations, commonly called trusts, though organized In one state, always do business In many states, often doing very little business in the state where they are incorpo1 rated. There is utter lack of uniform­ ity in the state laws about them.-and, as no state has any exclusive interest in or power over tbelr acts, it has lu practice proved Impossible to get ade­ quate regulation through state action. Therefore. In the interest of tbe whole people, the nation should, without in­ terfering with the power of the states in tbe matter itself, also assume power of supervision and regulation over all corporations doing an interstate busi­ ness. Tbe federal courts should be given jurisdiction over any man wbo kills •r attempts to kill the president or any ■Mu wbo by the constitution or by New is Id line of succession for tbe presidency, while the punishment for an unsuccessful attempt should be pro­ portioned to-tbe enormity of tbe of­ fense against our institutions. Anarchy is a crime against tbe whole bwmaa race, and all mankind should band against tbe anarchist. His crime should be made an offense against tbe taw of nations, like piracy and that farm of man stealing known as tbe Have trade. Tbe president next considers busi­ ness conditions, which he finds highly batiafactory. He continues: The tremendous and highly complex indigrtrial development which went on With ever accelerated rapidity during tbe tatter half of tbe nineteenth centary brings us face to face at tbe befftaalng of tbe twentieth with very bertous social problems. Tbe old laws bad tbe old customs which bad almost tire Dtodtag force of law were once qaKe safflclent to regulate tbe ac­ Cumulation and distribution of wealth. * Since tbe industrial changes wblcly AaieU Cmstltstlow If Mee««*ary. bare be enormously increased tho ppeWhen tbe constitution was adopted, GsCtive power of mankind they are no at the end of tbe eighteenth century, looser sufficient \ no human wisdom could foretell the j Trade Cessbinatleaa.

There Is a feeling that any man can grow corn, but that It takes some skill and a great deal of high priced help and machinery to produce a crop qf wheat. Winter wheat is encroaching on new territory every year. Some good farm­ er who Is careful, painstaking and pro­ gressive /will bring lu some new va­ riety and will be successful in growing this cereal. Others will foUow, some of whom will not be successful. Neglectlug to plow tbe ground esrly so that the soil will get thoroughly set­ tled and compact Is perhaps the case of more complete failures than any other. Sometimes It is Impossible for lack of moisture to plow ground at all when It should be done. Where it Is impossible to plow ground soon after harvest we would suggest running over clean stubble two or three times with a disk harrow, keep­ ing up a general pulverization with whatever tool that will perform the work until the time for drilling. We would then drill the wheat, says Iowa Homestead. We are inclined to the opinion that this preparation will make a better seed bed than where plowing Is done late and the grain drilled In freshly plowed ground with insufficient preparation. Where it Is possible to plow early It will give one and a Aalf or two from the time of plowing until drilling time. . , .

A Philadelphia concern recently received an order for 20 bridges for East Africa. The order was received both because the American bids were the lowest, and American builders contracted to get them out in much less time than any of students of tbe race-question. tha competitors. When the first order was received from abroad in competi­ tion with foreign manufacturers the fact was heralded around tbe world, but it has become of such common occurrence of late that no attention is paid to it. A bill will be introduced in Congress to amend the Immigration laws of the United States, excluding all persons over 15 years of age who cannot read the English language, or some other language.

Mrs. J. B. Snyder, of Ionia, is the vic­ tim of a disease that is baffling medi­ cal authorities. The toes seem to dry up, grow black and drop off. She was treated at first for dry gangrene, but a counsel of physicians state their belief that it is due to blaek erysipelas. The Lansing Sugar Beet factory has just shipped in 4,300 sheep from Mon­ tana and put them on the old Zach Chandler farm near that city. These sheep will be fattened for the markets from the beet pulp, and the company expects to realize handsomely from the investment. .z y Chicago authorities report grip germs as being very prevalent, and state their beliefrthat that well known affliction will be very severe the coming winter. Medical authorities advise people to not neglect colds, to eat plain foods, to take plenty of exercise and plenty of sleep. On account of the hot weather last summer physicians state that the vitality of average people is lower than usual, which will give the grip a better hold on victims than ever. Only a few years ago the Pere Mar­ quette railroad was seriously discussing the discontinuance of all train service north and west of Ionia, arguing that as the lumber industry was aboqf. play­ ed out it would be a matter of constant expense instead of profit The new po­ tato industry, however, seems to have changed it all, and has grown to such proportions that the shipment of tubers has surpassed the lumber ship­ ments even in the post prosperous days of the lumber industry. Gideon Stinchcomb owns a farm a short distance east of Lake Odessa and recently went there to drive away some hogs that he had previously sold. A man by the name of Pliny Rouse lived on the farm as tenant and he claimed an interest in the hogs. When Stinch­ comb went to take the animals away a regular pitched battle resulted, in which Rouse used a five tined pitch­ fork, thrusting it into Stinchcomb’s leg, and as if not satisfied he hit him over the head four or five times so hard that he broke several tines out of the fork. While Stinchcomb was away to get his wounds dressed Rouse drove the hogs to Woodbury and sold them. Revise was arrested and a law suit will doubtless result. It is not difficult to foresee that the time is not far distant when all the fourth-class post-offices in the middle west states will be discontinued and mail delivered at the door of all the farmers and the residences of country towns. There is no longer any pulling back in the efforts to extend the rural delivery branch of the mail service. The report of Superintendent Machen, which will be issued in a few days, will show wonderful progress for the last year and will continue plans for still more rapid progress in the future. The department is going to get all the money it can from the coming con­ gress and it is not difficult for it to se­ cure a large appropriation for the rea­ son that members of congress are find­ ing that nothing will do more to set them right with their constituents than to secure the establishment of rural routes in their districts. The report of the fourth assistant post-master gen eral shows that as a result of the growth of rural delivery, 3,037 postoffioes were discontinued last year.—Battle Creek Journal.

THREE DR0WNED-20 INJURED. San Francisco. Dec. 2.—The number of lives lost In Saturday night’s col­ lision on the bay between the ferry boats San Rafael and Sausalito Is still a matter of conjecture, and probably will never be accurately determined. So far as known late Bunday after­ noon. only three persons are actually known to be missing. They are W. G. Crandall, a resident of Sausalito: Greorge Tredway, a waiter on the San Rafael, and the three-year-old son of Mrs. Waller of Ross Valley. The of­ ficers of the sunken vessel strongly maintain that nearly all were saved. About 20 people were injured. MOR? LAND FOR THE US.

Success In desperate cases by con­ servative treatment is tbe lesson often repeated and yet never quite sufficient­ ly learned by any physician or surgeon. The Infinite ingenuity behind the heal­ ing processes, the never renounced struggle toward uomwlity, Is an ever renewed source of wonder. All that Is needed to elicit It Is confidence in It, delay In doing anything radical, watch­ fulness to follow up the hints to action as they begin to show themselves. We know of a living and happy pa­ tient who ten years ago bad albuminu­ ric retinitis from long existing Bright's disease despite what all tbe textbooks say as to “two years” in such cases.

Aunt HepMbah’s “apple pie order” was known throughout the entire settlement and originated tbe well known saying.

She was only sixteen, pretty Polly Martin, with round, soft cheeks the color of apple blossom buds and eyes as blue, ns the skies of her own native Canada. She had six brothers nod sisters, all like her­ self born in tbe beautiful country. Her father was a tenant fanner in a new settlement in western Canada. Pret­ ty Polly milked the cows, fed the pigs aud chickens and helped her mother with the children. When she could get cmjfloyment away from home, she went but to service. Being brought up with so many children had made her very useful about a house; patient, too. aud she was naturally sweet tempered, so people were glad to bare her with them. And then they liked to see her in their houses be­ cause she was so pretty. The Martins’ nearest neighbor was three mill’s away. This was not because neighbors were so few. but because Mr. Martin’s employer. Thomas Valentine, owned nil the land between his own house and the log cottage where tbe Mar­ tins lived. But Polly was not lonely., She never thought of being so. On the contra­ ry, she was very happy. Polly loved na­ ture. If she raised her eyes a moment from her work and looked toward the west, she saw the grand green forest flashing and ringing with the bright »iuged.’sweet voiced birds that civiliza­ tion had not yet killed out. ... If she glanced toward the northern ho­ rizon, there was the undimmod sky. ra-, diant blue, with ta marvelous gleam of silvery brightness In it that stretched a wav’—away to the north pole itself. Eastward there was the crystal pure brook dapring to the jnusic of its own everlasting little tiukle. tinkle, tinkle, which not even the ice of winter wns able quite to subdue. Polly thought it was the sweetest music thnt la or ever was. and I am not sure she was wrong.

Polly soon un­ derstood. The robbt-rs went to a window. It wns easy enough to force the shutter. Then there was a faint grinding sound. The burglars w^re cutting tbe large, new lashiouvd window pane with a diamond. And yet Polly would not open the door. Indeed it would have been no good to do so now, for the robbers would, soon be in the room anyhow. Polly only sat still and waited for her doom. Her tongue felt dry in her mouth. She felt so cold her teeth chattered, and she could not even hear her heart "beat now, for it burned to almost stop. / Crash went the outer pane. The grind­ ing, cutting sound begun on the inner one. It was quickly loose on two sides; only a matter of five minutes more for Polly, end then— • And then, in the very nick of time, in the last moment, there came a sound of aleighbells. merry chiming, sweet and looked down into the box where lay a few bunches of late autumn grapes, the down still upon their fat. purple cheeks.

The house wns a modern built one, with large doable plate glass windows to keep the cold out and with a great furnace in tbe cellar from which hot air pipes car­ ried warmth into all the rooms. Many a king's palace was less comfortable than this house. Polly looked to see thnt doors and windows were fastened; then she sat down in the warm dining room to read clear, tinkle, tinkle, like the fairy bells and knit and think by turns. she had beard te.l in her childhood sound- I Polly was not lonely or afraid.

When, in 1647,’ Puritan sentiment caused the purliament of England to abolish Christmas formally, on the ground of pagan origin and what it deem­ ed pagan observance, most of the people grieved surely -and yearned with such good effect for the return of the old cus­ tom that today the season is kept as their chief festival by English speaking people. About that period there was published at Oxford a document entitled “An Hue and Cry For Christmas” which reveals quaintly the popular yearning. "Any ®»u or woman • • • that can give sny knowledge or tell any tid­ ings of an old. old. very old, gray bearded gentleman called. Christmas, who was wont to be a verie familiar ghest and visite all sorts of people, both pore aud rich, and used to appear in glittering ,vvr ,in u iuv u gold, silk nuu and m silver the wu|i> court, auu and ,in aH Rbnpet in the lhea(er ln Whitehall aud had ril,RinKt fea,ts and jollity iu all n iai.p„ both in jn the places, the citle citie and and countrie countrie for for bis comming • • • whosoever can tel what is become of him, or where he may be found, let them bring him back again into England.” So back again he came, but not to the same honors a« of old. Never again was there to be such feasting as in the old days, all the public ceremonial which used to greet him was gone forever. To­ day the Christmas celebration is an event of the home and the children among re­ united families instead of the gay street pomp of old. The English lore of high Christmas feasting goes back beyond history into the banquet ball of King Arthur, and having read it the reader wonders no more at the mighty deeds performed by the lance of Launcelot or the broad Excnlibur. Whistlecraft thus sets the leg­ end in rhyme: ■ They H-nrd up salmon, venison snd wild bosrs By hundreds by dozens and by •corn, Hogsheads of honey, kilderkins of mustard.

A fitting place is one under which the maiden must pass. It is not seemly for her to seek kisses. The problem waa solved years ago. The mistletoe waa put over the door. In this country two mistletoe leaves are placed together before the fire by many an anxious lover. He or she names the leaves secretly. If they fly together an they grow crisp, those they represent will wed; if they fly apart, fate wills other­ wise. But the greater Christmas supersMtlona concern themselves with the recognition of the holy hour of midnight on Christ*’ mas eve by the lower animals. . ' The rooster is supposed to be the most sapient of these in this regard. His crow­ ing, at other seasons heralding the dawn, is well known by all true believers in, ghosts to be a notice to prowling spirits to hie them home. In the holy season ho crows at intervals all through the night, the superstition says, to keep the earth clear of these nocturnal ramblers. Shake- ’ speare alludes to this belief in "Hamlet:** Wherein our Saviour's birth ia celebrated. ' Tills bird, of* dawning aingeth all night long, ’ And then, they say, no spirit dares stir abroad. . ' 11»e nights are wholeratne; then no planets sinks* No lairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm. So hallowed and so grscious is the time. • In mahy parts of Europe there la a an* perstition to the effect that at the mid­ night hour, when Christmas day begins, the cattle kneel in the. stalls. Many can be found who testify that they have accid this phenomenon. They have gtne inH-thaj dark stables with lanterns, awaking th«l beasts, which usually rise after such dia-j turbance. In the course of half an bonpi or so the animals grow used to the light},. and lie down again. In lying down thejb kneel.

Howison tells of an Indian iu upper Canada whom he found creeping late on Christ* mas eve on hands and knee* to get a look at the deer kneeling at the midnight hour.1 Sir Walter Scott tells us that, accord* ing to a iwpblar belief,-those who were burn on Christmas had the gift of beeia* ghosts.

The farmers can make no better in-1 ▼artaient than in spending some of their time in fixing up the roads. Bad •reads are the bane of a fanner’s life, aad mean a great financial loss. The fewness men of this city have been moat liberal in their endeavors to aid the farmers pt this vicinity in the con­ .. 8traction of good roads, but the abso­ lute neglect in keeping many of them cvea in deoent repair is very disoourag*• lag -to say the least. One of the distressing shooting acci­ dents this year during the deer season, was the shooting of Chas. Ball, ofjWatroiAville. It seems that he was riding along the highway east of Gaylord, with a package of goods wrapped in a gray doth, fastened to the back of his car­ riage, when a man by the name of Fred Odle taught sight of the gray colored package through the underbrush and fired twice, one bullet piercing Ball’s heart killing him instantly. The legis latare ought to enact some law fixing tho responsibility in such distressing eboo ting accidents, no matter how un­ wittingly committed. The taking of hvman life during tbe deer season has beaome altogether too frequent . -. The means to which Pure Food Compante® will resort to advertise their business is well illustrated in the case of William Derringer, of Galesburg. For thirty years the old gentleman, who is 90 years old, has been without a tooth, and his head is as innocent of hair as a billiard ball, but of late he has been cutting a new set of teeth besides enjoying a luxuriant growth of hair.

WHO IS SANTA CLAUS f Tradltloi Pretty It is frequently asked, “WUo is Santa Claua?” Here is n story about him that lets light upon bis real character. He was bishop of Myra and died about the year 826. Among bls parishioners, (ao runs one story) there lived a certain no­ bleman who had three daughters. From being rich he became so poor that there teemed to him no means of obtaining food for his daughters but by sacrificing them to a dishonorable life. Over and over again the thought came into his mind to tell them so, but shame and sor­ row held him dumb. Meanwhile tbe maidens wept continually, not knowing what to do and having no bread to eat, and their father became more and more desperate. When St. Nicholas heard of this, he thought it a shame ttjat such a thing should happen in a Christian Jnnd. Therefore one night when the maidens were asleep and their father alone sat watching and weeping he took a handful of gold and tying it up in a handkerchief repaired to the nobleman's dwelling. He considered how he might bestow it with­ out making himself known, and while be stood irresolute the moon coming from behind a cloud showed him au open win­ dow. So be threw in the gold, and it fell at the feet of the father, who, when he found it, returned thanks and presented it to his eldest daughter as her wedding portion. A second time SL Nicholas col­ lected a similar sum, and again he threw it in by night. So a wedding portion was provided for the second daughter. But the curiosity of the old nobleman was now excited. He greatly desired to know who it was that came to his aid. There­ fore he determined to watch. When the good saint came for the third time and prepared to’ throty in the third portion, he was discovered, for the nobleman seized him by the skirt of his robe and flung himself at his feet, saying, “Oh, Nicholas, servant of God. why seek to hide thy­ self?' And he kissed his feet and hands. But St. Nicholas made him promise that he would tell no man. CHRISTMAS IN THE SOUTH. Olden Time*. Sixty years ago skyrockets, Roman can­ dles and Chinese firecrackers were un­ known In the south. The same may be said of the Christmas tree outside of the old Episcopal parishes. And still the boys of those early days made a deal of pother by the bursting of hogs* bladders and the firing of shotguns at the break of day. The morning eggnog was seldom omitted in their matutinal festivities. The old time negroes, the happiest yeo­ manry of the.world, were never refused their traditional Christma€x^ram. There were then no poorhouses, do charity hos­ pitals, and tbe benevolent machinery of these degenerate days was unknown be­ cause not needed. Country quiltings were all the rage in the rural districts, and when work was finished the neighboring fiddler was summoned. After no little turning and scraping the swains and their sweethearts stood up vis-a-vis in two lines. At tbe words “Set to your partners” they footed It quite nimbly through tbe mazes of tbe Virginia reel—no stately minuet, no high­ falutin german, but a rollicking move­ ment that shook the floor until, as Burns puts it, The root and raftere a* did dirt Those were halcyon days the like of which is not seen nowadays.

It is built on a sensible plan and appeals to anyone’s judgment. It is oval in form on the inside and the bottom does not rest on the oven in any place. ‘ With the ordinary ROASTER, which is flat bottomed and rests on the floor of the oven, all moisture from the meat has no chance to accumulate and is burned up on the bottom. With the SA VOR Y ROASTER, which is oval on the inside and does not touch the oven, all juices flow to the lowest part, where they are vaporized by the heat and again deposited on the surface of the meat With the SAVORY ROASTER no ‘ basting” is necessary and no attention is required. All this Roaster asks is TO BE LET ALONE. Another thing about it that will appeal to the Housewife is that there are NO CORNERS OR SEAMS to catch greece and pieces of burned meat.

Christmas kept up for days and the* meaning of the festival was forgotten long before . the revelers returned to their homes It is Interesting to observe that the costom of giving presents at Christ­ mas time, which has survived to thia day. was begun In the first day* of the Christmas feast So was the custom that Is known as carol singing. * The •rags of today are based on the event that make* Christmas day a time of rejoicing, • but at that time they .were ret overparticular as to the subject cbooen by the singers. In fact It would be difficult to find in some of them an excuse for the singing of such ditties at * religious festival.' It is a striking feature of this Christ­ mas celebration that from Its earliest recorded history there. Is no sentiment In connection with it but those of kind­ linens and good feeling. However much the old style of celebrating Christmas might be objectionable to tbe twentieth century critic of orthodox tendencies who frowns at the frivolity of some of tbe customs. It was always * time for tbe better side of humau nature to be exhibited and for people t» take gift* to each other in a spirit of peace aud good wilt This kindly spirit To lx? born on Christmas day is, accord­ ing to an old superstition, to be hicky all one’s life. The great event of the Christmas din­ ner 400 or 500 years ago was the entry of the chief cook bearing tbe boar's head, garnished with rosemary. In Cornwall Christmas eve is a special holiday with children, who are allowed to sit up till midnight and drink to the “Mock”—as the Yule log is called there.

One of the pretty Sunday school teachers has a class of little girls, and It is her custom to tell them each Sun­ day of some little incident that has happened In the week and request tbe children to quote a verse of Scripture to Illustrate the story. In th!* way she hopes to Impress the usefulness of Biblical knowledge upon tbe little ones. Last Sunday she told her class of a cruel boy who would catch calk and cut their tails off. “Now, can any little girl tell me of an appropriate verse?” she asked. There was a pause for a few moments, when one little girt arose and in a sol­ emn voice said: "Whatsoever God has joined together let no man put asunder.Carthago Press.

The Modem Woodmen, of Lacey, have a bustling lodge of about 100 mem­ bers. Tuesday about a dozen of them were in tbe city on their way to attend a big Woodmen meeting and banquet at Grand Rapids.

There was some tall hustling for a few moments at the Hastings Iron Works Tuesday afternoon when the bottom dropped out of the “cupalo,” which was tilled with molten iron.

The insurance commissioner warns Michigan citizens against the National Copper Tube Lightning Rod Co., of Cleveland, which is operating in this state. The company gives purchasers large, fancy certificates which resemble insurance policies, and which promise to make good any loss by lightning to buildings equipped with their rods. The company has no authority to trans­ act any manner of insurance in this state, and as It has failed to answer letters addressed to it on the subject of its operations in Michigan, the Insursurance department believes it would be well for Michigan citizens to refuse to do business with it ’ In the Chicago Record Herald of Friday, among the real estate trans&c tions was the following which will be read with Interest by the friends of Fred Kenfield, formerly of this city:— "Robert P. Walker has leased to the Windsor and Kenfield Publishing Com­ pany for the Farrar estate, the fourstory building at 45-7 Plymouth place, 50 by 100 feet, for a term of ten years, with the privilege of a fifty year exten­ sion from 1912, the lessee under the latter clause to erect a modern building before 1914 to cost dbt less than 830,000. Tho rental is 85,000 a year for the first ten years and 84,500 and the taxes in the event of a renewal. This week and next we will give our readers a 16 page paper filled with good Christmas reading, and all the latest city and county news. A glance at the advertising columns will convince any­ one that the merchants of Hastings are alive to the importance of the holiday trade and have made an effort to supply tbe wants of all customers. Those who have the enterprise to advertise what they have and solicit your trade are deserving of your patronage, and we ask your careful attention to the advertisements in this issne as well as in our next The goods offered and the prices quoted are convincing proofs that our merchants have some bargains for all Christmas buyers. It is said that a couple of representa­ tives from tbe Upper Peninsula are preparing a bill which will be introduc ed in the next legislature, which will allow the killing of nothing but bucks during the season for deer hunting. These men argue that by limiting the killing to bucks, and extending the deer hunting season a couple of months longer, will nave a tendency to not only increase the number of deer, but will also be a protection to human life. It is said that in Wisconsin this year more men were killed during the hunting season than were killed during the San­ tiago campaign, and this state would probably hustle that record. The ex­ tending of the season will prevent the crowding of tbe woods, it is argued, and thus be more of a protection to hunters. Church and Society. The L. O. T. M.

One of the memters of the company invoked divine blessing, after which tbe Best, his wife and daughter helped us lovingly, and, moreover, everybody helped themselves, and with their fingers too. 1 soon per­ ceived that it was considered the height of hospitality to pick a choice morsel out of the pot with your fingers and land it with a flourish on your neigh­ bors plate. I tried it several times and succeeded in burning all the fingers on my right hand. I .think it is a nice custom, but a person with tender fin­ gers should provide himself with a bot­ tle of liniment to use in case of emer­ gency. The San Cocho was finally fin­ ished but that was not all of the feast, and our plates were filled again and again with friendly offerings. Our host brought out a cask of home-made wine aud we pledged each other in the juice of the Cuban grape and corn husk cigarettes. Real Cuban cigars were next passed around, to which the Seuoritas did not object, but assisted in depleting the abundant supply, aud t\c smoke-wreaths of the fragrant Ha­ vana's were soon curling around the rafters overhead and lasing themselves among the thatch.

The United States Barracks are government sends a battleship to New located iu this city, as is old Fort Tay Oreleans, a cruiser to Mobile, and a gunboat to Pensacola for the express purpose of participating in the Mardi Gras Carnival of those three cities. When the king leaves tbe boat he is assisted to mount a ied-horse, and then with his body guard, the “Krewe of Comusthe “Krewe of Proteus," the “Krewe of Momus,” and the “Krewe of "Nereus,” escorted by the marines from the battleship, a regiment of soldiers and tbe city’s mounted police, he makes a triumphal march through the city to the public square. The whole city is then turned over to “King Rex,” and the minor police regulations of the city are suspended. The queen of the car­ nival is then crowned. It is generally noon before the ceremonies of the “My sticks” are performed, and the crowd then disperse to satisfy the wants of the inner man. There is nothing special to attract crowd's attention in the afternoon, with the exception of the parade of the “horribles,” in which the participants are about tbe worst that ever happen­ ed. The midway shows and street fakirs, however, manage to rake in a few dimes “when reuben comes to town.” In the evening there is a grand par­ ade, consisting wholly of*floats which portray noted scenes of history, poetry and flction. These floats are built at an enormous expense and are works of artistic elegance. The beautiful floats are brilliantly illuminated with colored tableaux lights. You can only imagine something of their elegance when you consider the great length of time spent in making these floats. To maintain such a vast system of scenic pageantry, which changes in all its features with each succeeding year, a great number of artists and skilled workmen are kept constantly employed in manufacturing the paraphernalia and trappings for these great exhibits. Designers, dec­ orators; workers in papier-mache, carv­ ers, trimmers, painters and costumers are called into requisition, aflpHhe ex­ tensive factories and store houses where these properties are made and kept would astonish an observer. They are, however, entirely concealed from prying eyes, and are accessible only to the initiated. I am positive of this latter fact, for it took me three days to get a permit to visit these buildings, and anything which a newspaper re­ porter has his "troubles” in doing, no WHOLE NO. 2410. ordinary person should ever attempt. The several associations which pro­ vide and maintain these splendid dis­ plays are strictly secret organisations, and whatever may be conjectured, the mystery which surrounds them has never been successfully penetrated. There is generally a masked ball each evening of the carnival. These balls are the principal society events of Mardi Gras, and amid scenes of inde­ scribable splendor the subjects of "King Rex” hold a brilliant revel. A large fortune is spent yearly for these masked balls, and the beauty of the costumes worn is beyond feminine de­ scription. Most of them are made by Parisian costumers. “After tbe ball is over” a stranger will go to his hotel to retire, and bo great are the scenes of splendor he has witnessed that be will dream of them until the small hours of morning, when he awakens and finds'a greater surprise yet in itore lor him.

In compliance with the decision ©f the legislature last year, repealing tho charter of tbe Michigan Central, a majority of the stockholders of Um railroad met in President Ledyardt office in Detroit Thursday morning. "The meeting was simply a matter of form to comply with the law,* said Ashley Pond, the road’s general coun­ sel. “Under the law, the.r^Qrgaahation must be effective by bee. 31, and the results of this morning's action will be filed with the secretary of alatafc bo that we can be operating under the gen­ eral law by that time. Mr. Woreeeter and Mr. Pardee were the only directors present from New York, and Mr. Miles, a stockholder, came with them. You understand, there will be no apparent change in tbe operation of the Today’s meeting was simply to comply with tbe law.” The general railroad law of Michigan calls for a rate of two cents a miJr on the main line for tbe Michigan Cen­ tral. When the road begins to do ness under this Jaw, the rates on the line between Detroit and New Buffalo will be changed. A large force ol men is working on the tariff wheels of the company, rearranging them ho as to have them comply with the previsions of tbe general law. The reorganitation will also bring the Michigan Cen­ tral under the general taxation law. Henry Russell, general attorney for the Michigan Central, stated that an action would undoubtedly be begun by the corporation against the state for tbe recovery of damages. "The act of the legislature gives ua every right to commence such a suit.” he said, “and action will undoubtedly be commenced. We shall have a year tp see what our losses will be under, the new manner of running, and the loeaea will bo made the basis for the action* A heavy recovery will undoubtedly be made."

U01. v.’ TUmUton XoO.1 VERY child who read, this •tory doubtless remembers the time, not long ago, _ when Santa Claus appar­ ently forgot to put In his or her stocking the toys that had been especially asked for, when. In short, it really looked lu the morning as though Banta Claus bad actually failed to some et all. Now. the fact is that Banta hl* failure was suppressed at the time, I ate at last able to reveal the secret 1 Otie day shortly before that Christ­ mas Santa Claus was feeling very blue because Prancer and Dancer were get­ ting old. and Blitzen was so much “off hi* feed" that it was very doubtful whether the reindeer team could start oa ft* great annual present delivery run ou Christmas eve. Saute knew that million* of children would be vary much disappointed If be did not visit their home*. He bad received *uch alot of letters and telephone messages from good little girl* and boy* asking for drums and doll* and bicycle* and all aorta of toys_that a big tear or two rolled down hl* bearded cheek a* he thought of the sad looks tbe children Would wear should he fall to come. Suddenly Santa'* face brightened. “Say!" he shouted. "What'* the mat­ ter with my trying one of those new Bangbtymobiles?

Leaping In. he tamed tbe power oa suddenly, and tbe Machine gave such a jump forward ta bounced up In tbe ball and then nearly pink elephant left for tbe children to smash, and there won’t be any Santa Claus left either! Whoa! Haw! Gee!" Tbe automobile swerved sharply to the left on two wheel*, ran over a polar bear that didn’t turn out quick enough and then made a bee line for tbe big barn and yard where the reindeer were kept. When they saw tbe strange thing coming, the reindeer snorted in surprise and began pawing the snow. Blitzen. who was rather ugly because he had the stomach ache, jumped the fence, lowered his head and charged straight toward the machine, which doubled him up like a jackknife and sent him flying over the barn as easily as a boy would bat a rubber balk Poor Blltsen! He never knew what struck him. A* for tbe other reindeer, they-kicked up their heels, broke down the fence and ran for dear life just as Santa and the automobile, or, to be more exact, the automobile and Santa, tore the barn doors from their hinges, roared through the barn like a cyclone and then start­ ed straight for the south pole, 12,430 statute miles away, as if they were wanted there, and wanted badly. "Hl, hi! Head u* off, somebody; head us off!” yelled Santa Claus. He tugged frantically at the steering gear and tried to shut off the power, but all bls efforts were in vain. Zip’ Bang! Bumpty-bump, bumptybump! Zip! Whlr-r-r-r! "Stop us! Whoa! Back! Steady, boy; tfteady! Naughtymobile? I should say so—the very naughtiest that ever got loose!" poor Santa Claus cried. Zip! Bumpty-bump! Whlr-r-r-r! On and on they Rped. Santa Claus was powerless, or had too much power, and the machine never stopped until it reached the south pole. Thia took a lot of time, and, as Santa, of course, had to walk back those 12,430 statute miles, be didn't reach bl* toy shop and the north pole and the dear old reliable rein­ deer until about the middle of Febru­ ary, all of which explains why he and the reindeer failed to make their usual toy delivery trip ou that particular Christmas you remember when you did not get all the things you bad asked him for.

Ths sharper, more del- ; * “ icate footprints of a fox crossed our path, and outside one long patch of brushwood a aeries of round imprints tn the snow betrayed where a bobcat, as plainsmen term the small lynx, had been lurking around to try to pick up a rabbit or prai­ rie fowl. As the dawn reddened and it became light enough to see objects some Utile way off we began to sit erect in our sad­ dles and to scan the hillsides sharply for sight of feeding deer. Hitherto we had teen no deer tracks save inside the bulloerry bushes by the river, and we knew that the deer which Bred In that Impene­ trable Jungle were cunning white tails and that in such a place they could only be bunted by the aid of a bound. But just before sunrise we came on three lines of heart shaped footmarks Ip the snow which showed wherp as many deer bad Just crossed a little plain ahead of ua They were walking leisurely, and from the lay of the land we believed we , would find them over the ridge, where Accordingly one ot the cc^rboys rode put in the frosty afternoon to fetch in be Raddle band from the plateau three trtlcfi off, where they were grazing.

A mile off we crossed the river, the ice cracking with noises like piatol shots as our horses picked their way gingerly over it. On the opposite rido was a dense jungle of bullberry there was a brush coulee. Riding to one burtes, and on breaking through this we side of the trail, we topped the little fo'iftd ourselves galloping up a long, ridge just as the sun flamed up, a burn­ winding valley which led back many ing ball of crimson, beyond the snowy miles Into the hills.

The entrails and viscera we threw off to one side after carefully poisoning them from a little bottle of strychnine which I had in my pocket. Almost every cattleman carries poison and neglects no chance of leav­ ing out woifv bait, for the wolves are sources of serious loss to the unfeneed and unhoused flocks and herds. In this instance we felt particularly revenge­ ful because It waa but a few days since we had lost a fine yearling heifer. The tracks on the hillside where the car­ cass lay when we found it told the story plainly. The wolves, two in number, had crept up close before being discovered and then raced down on the astonished heifer almost before she could get fairly started. One brute had hamstrung her with a snap of his viaelike jaws, and once down the was torn open In a twinkling. No sooner was tbe sun up than a warm west wind began to blow In our faces. The weather had suddenly changed, and before an hour the snow wns beginning to thaw and leave patches of bare ground ed at a clear spring, not nredlng much tide, for all we had to do waa to drink a drart of Icy water and mnnch a strip of dried venisou. Bbortly afterward, as we were moving along a hillside with silent caution, we came to a sheer canyon of which the opposite face waa broken by little ledges grown up with wind beaten cedars. As we peered over tbe edge my companion touched my arm and pointed aileotiy to one of. the ledges, and instant­ ly I caught the glint of a buck’s horns as be lay half behind an old tree trunk. A alight shift of position gave me a fair shot slanting down between hit shoul­ ders, aud, though be struggled to his feet, he did not go ttty yards after receiving the bullet. „ This was all we could carry. Leading the horses around, we packed the buck behind my companion a saddle ana tnen rode back by the doe, which I put behind mine. But we were not destined to reacn home without a slight adventure. VNben we got to the river, we rode boldly on the ice, heedless of tbe thaw, and about mid­ way there was a sudden, tremendous crash, and men. horses and deer were acrambllng together In the water amid slab, of floating ice. However, it_ was shallow, and no worse r**u,t® .f.0 ? than some hard work and a chilly bath. But what cared we? We were returning triumphant with our Christmas dinner.— Philadelphia Times.

IN THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS Reef ot Paying Gold Quarts Reward­ ed “Hike” After Insurgents—Dis­ coverers Marked the Place and Will Return. Owosso, Mich., Dec. 10.—Dr. Dry­ den H. Lamb, contract surgeon, U. 8. A., has just arrived home^after an 18 months’ stay in the Philippines. He is considering an offer to serve a year at Columbus barracks, but has practi­ cally decided to take up his practice in Owosso. While in the islands the doctor made a discovery which he is confi­ dent will bring him a fortune. While on a hike after insurgents, Dr. Lamb and another man lagged behind in the mountains and stumbled onto a reef which bore gold quartz of surprising richnee^. Samples of the ore were brought to Manila and their value con­ firmed by experts. The doctor drew a plan by which the mine can easily be relocated, and when the United States courts have made it possible to stake out claims, the gentlemen will return with ample capital to work the mine. In the Philippines Dr. Lamb was on duty in Luzon, Mindanao and the Sulu group. He praises Uncle Sam’s csre of his troops, of whom there are 35,­ 000 now in the islands. Sick soldiers are given every care, and the hospitals are fully as well equipped as any in the large cities. A line of transports weekly lands ample supplies of fresh beef, potatoes and onions, and it is very seldom that the soldiers are forced to fall • back on hardtack and bacon. - PROFITABLE INFORMATION. Lansing, Mich., Dec. 9.—Prof. L. R. Taft, professor of horticulture at the Agricultural college, has prspared some Information of interest to fruit growers and farmers. Prof. Taft says that when the trunks and branches of peach trees are whitewashed the danger of the start­ ing of buds during warm spells in tho winter is lessened, but to be entirely effectual the work must be thoroughly done and the wash must be renewed if necessary. From the fact that the starting of the buds generally occurs during the warm periods in January or February, and that the spraying at this time will prevent the attack of curl-leaf, Prot Taft advises that if a January thaw should continue more than three days and the conditions are such that there is danger of buds swelling, the trees should be sprayed with Bordeaux mixture, using eight pounds of lime and four pounds of copper sulphate to 50 gallons of water. During February and March it will be well to take ad­ vantage of any warm days for spray­ ing if the treatment has not already been made.

Highly Dramatic Affair Witnessed In Senate yesterday. Washington. Dec. 10.—The senate chamber was the scene of a highly dramatic episode yesterday when Sen­ ator Tillman of South Carolina chal­ lenged his colleague.

The Incident was the direct sequel of the very bit­ ter controversy which arose between tbe senators in South Carolina last spring. Mr. McLaurin arose to a ques­ tion of personal privilege and pro­ ceeded to explain what be charged was a conspiracy to discredit him In his own state for acts and views which did not meet the approval of certain democratic leaders. He declared that be was being humiliated, and accord­ ing to public prints, was to be exclud­ ed from the democratic caucus be­ cause he had acted upon certain pub­ lic issues in a way which he consid­ ered was for the best Interests of the country and the people of his state. Senator Lodge presented to the sen­ ate in executlve'session the report of the committee on foreign relations, recommending favorable action upon ■the Hay-Pauncefote isthmian canal treaty and gave notice that today he would ask tbe senate to go into execu­ tive session for the consideration of the treaty, repeating the request each day until the senate should act upon it Senator Hale introduced a number of bills relating to the navy. g Senator Hoar introduced a bill giv­ ing the United States jurisdiction in cases of lynching and making the crime of participation In lynchings punishable by death.

Washington, Dec. 9.—Counsel • for the defense in the, trial of Mrs. Iola Ida 'Bontne, for the murder of James Seymour Ayres, Jr., Saturday precipi­ tated a lengthy argument over the right to ask an expert witness certain hypothetical questions bearing on the hip wound of Ayres. The court direct­ ed the jury to retire during the dis­ cussion. The defense stated that it would endeavor to show by the wit­ ness, Dr. W. P.

By MALCOLM SEARIX (Copyright, 1001, by American Prea Aaeociaticm.] ON a certain homekeeping Christmas occasion In the latter part of the seventies 1 war the chief performer In an affair which was re­ garded at the time by some as of doubtful credit to me. Let no one take alarm. This is not a love story. The Incident smacked of the, prize ring, and I, too, might have looked on myself aa a bad lot but for certain extenuating circumstances and the good results that came from It. It was not often that I bad been “whopped,” as the boys called It When youngsters—my brothers aqd myself—we lived, most of the time In the country on a big place a mile or •o from a village, where we never Wvent except In a carriage and with our alders. So we seldom "met up" against the enterprising youth of the town. We did not allow the tutor to flog us much, as he had been directed to do by the governor when it should be­ come necessary. Tbe governor had been flogged himself In bls school days and believed In the system. But, however much we scuffled among ourselves—not 111 naturedly—we resented physical correction on the tutor’s part Once or twice rulers and inkstands went flying In the air at him for it The last time this happened he re­ signed, because he thought his author­ ity bad not been sufficiently supported by the governor. I was immediately sorry for wbat I had done and bad offered an apology, before tbe governor, to the irate tutor, bnt he would not have It and Insisted on the trouncing. To this my father would not consent, after my offer to apologise, and so the The village bully waa a good one, full of pluck and not vicious, as he presently showed. Though confident enough* In* bls ability to whip me, he lacked the coolness which proper train­ ing gives and which I had, or thought I had. A ring "was formed, and the village chap was Impatient to begin. Hardly before I had tossed my jack­ et aside he jumped for me with the spring of a young tiger. I stepped to one side, of course, as I had been taught, and as he went by I gave him a right hander on the aide of his head with some force. He stagger­ ed a little, but kept his feet and, turn­ ing, was upon me again with a leap, meaning to close. Thia time I was ready, and, stopping him .with my left hand In bls face, I got a good blow in with my right di­ rectly on bls diaphragm. Down he went, with both hands on Lis stomach, and It was some second^ before be could get his breath. ■'When he did, he was up again all right But be had learned caution, and when be'came to the scratch for the second round, so called, he held up his bands somewhat in proper form for sparring and waited for, me. I had seen too much of his strength and quickness to risk a rush at him a nd ..conten ted myself with a little light pinyh.for awhile, tapping him on the nose and mouth and par&lng an occa­ sional blow aimed by hlm>He soon got hot at this tapping and parrying and came at me again with both fists flying and head down, like a bull. 1 had some difficulty here In parrying his blows and avoiding bls at­ tempts to close, but Anally by a quick movement I got his head "in chancery" —that Is, under and between the left arm and side. By this time I had begun to get enough exercise and rather wished my­ self well out of the business. I thought if I gave my stout adversary a black eye or two he would be willing to quit, so while I had his head in a viselike grip 1 hit him a couple of smart dips with half dosed hand between the eyes. At the same time, with a trip of his feet, 1 flung him away from me sprawling on tbe ground. At this entente cordiale the crowd theered, and all hands parted good friends. Cushing came out to the place, as I had Invited him to do, and we showed him how to “put up his hands" to such effect that when I got back home in the iprlng I found blm on pretty nearly even terms with the tutor in everything lhe gymnasium afforded. Including fenc­ ing and general athletics as well as box­ tag. He was an orphan with scarcely a relative Iq the world. His mother had filed In bls infancy, and some Ove years later his father, who had been a man of wealth and social standing in the city, died, broken In fortune by unfor­ tunate stock transactions. And so the boy had grown up to the age of seventeen, handsome and well formed enough, but ignorant of every­ thing except the rudiments of schooling and the contents of half a dozen books or bo, the remnants of his father’s once fine library. I had taken an Immense liking for Cushing, and he had for me, as boys often do after a row. His situation In life, contrasting with my own, appeal­ ed to me, and, being rather a favorite of my father, especially after the fight, of which be had heard, 1 easily per­ suaded him to take an Interest In the premises. He had known Cushing's father slightly and that bis business career, though disastrous, bad been an honorable one. It was slated, therefore, .that my fa­ ther was to advance the necessary money for young Cushing on bis fu­ ture and that be was to come over to our place and be fitted for college with the rest of us. But a better scheme yet soon pre­ sented Itself. We had some Influence with the congressman of our district, and there was a vacancy at West Point to be filled by him. The honor­ able .member had already selected a politician's son for the position, but my father intimated to the congress­ man that If he wanted to be quite sure of bls re-election he would do well to appoint our man. This was sufficient Cushing got ths appointment and was literally called GIVING ON j CHRISTMAS By Cecilia Rose. [Ooprritht, MOI, by W. L. V1I1.J .

LTHOUGH the giving of presents, like other cus­ toms of Chrlstmastlde, may be traced to heath­ en sources, yet tbe beau­ tiful tribute of the wise men from the east to the Infant In tbe manger may be taken as a symbol of appropri­ ate ceremonies for the celebration of the birth of Christ. Pagan kings and princes, their satraps and subjects, did indeed give presents, often in connec­ tion with great feasts, with various ends in view, but ft is clear from tbe records handed down that tbe gifts were hot always bribes nor tribute to physical power. Moral worth and beau­ ty were often honored by the bestowal of rare treasures or some symbol of riches. The story of the visit of the wise men to Bethlehem as told In the gospel of Matthew carries with It evidence that the strangers were not on a self seeking errand. The narrative reads: ' Now. when «• bora in Bethlehem ot Judea in tho days of lierod tbe king, behold, there camo wite men from tho eart to Jerusalem. Myin<, Where ia he thot wee born king of the Jewet For w» hare aeen hie etar tn the eart and hate come to wor­ ship him. When Herod the king bad heard these th I Dee, he w»a troubled and el! Jrruealem with him. and when he had gathered all tbe chief prierta and acribee of tbe people together he demanded of them where Christ should be bora, and they said unto him. In Bethlehem of Ju<hra, for thus it la written by the prophet, And thou Beth­ lehem. in the lend of Judra. for out of thee ■hail come a governor that shall rule my people Israel. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise' man. inquired of them diligently what time the star ap­ peared, and he sent them to Bethlehem and said, Go and aearch diligently for the young child, and when ye hare found him bring me word again that 1 may come and worship him aleo. When they had heard the king they departed, and. Io. the star which they saw in the eart went before them till it came and stood over where the young child was.

' ” PART ONE _ ' ' " ■ ■' HA5TINO5, MICHIGAN, DECEMBER 19. 1901. [Copyright, 1W1. by Ron C. Ek-born.) “Life grows darker every day here on the cret-k.” "To you, Mrs. Aldine, but not to ail the settlers, poor as we are. Maybe your luck will change.” “Preachers always talk that way. It’s in your training. Mr. Goodnow. Besides. you get about to see every new face.” "And old timers too. If they do not join in our church doings, I try to take a Httle of the gospel to them.” "Well, 1 for one. am ashamed to go to meeting In the old clothes that I’ve got. I can't do it. Mr. Goodnow. But it’s not the meetings and the crowds that I miss. The trouble’s right here at home. This is Christmas eve, but, alas, where is the Christmas cheer?"- She shook her head wearily. Her eyes wandered to the lone house they bad just left. Mr. Goodnow took advantage of her absent cate and mounted his horse. Relieved by that moment or two of retrospection, the widowed ranchwoman turned to him again. "Ah. if I had half a dozen boys and girls to marry and bring home mates, ii would be lively here, for all he is gone!" Some troubles are beyond the consolation derived from words. The preacher . of Led Horae meeting house was too wise to plead that Providence ordained Mra. Aldine’s early widowhood or the ambition which had taken Alice Aldine away to • oollege. where she and a slip of a brother, more child than man. wore the mother's sole support. Poor little Bert Aldine had grown up moody and dwarfish in the taint of universal loneliness. Solitude and a book, with Gyp, the great St. Bornurd pet. eying him lazily from the blinking windows of his canine soul, made a heaven for the young emigrant, half orphaned just when he was beginning to Puig for a fling at life beyond the limits of home. Preacher Goodnow’s gaze wandered about the little hillside farm in search of ssfhr more congenial topic for conversation. It lighted on the St. Bernard trotltng\izily around the curve above the ridge where the ranch trail hung like a shelf H. vn brackets. "Noyr. at my cabin,” said he, <4your Gyp would lie the most welcome Christ­ mas corfipany that I could bring home.” “Gfp is everything except just your own kind. He feels our Ions too. Ho loved father, but he just clung to Allie. He was her keeper in childhood and her romping playmate always.” "Come, come: cheer up, Mrs. Aldine. This can’t last forever.

Put a likely girl on a ranch, and you’ll nave all the men co. ■ pany you want, and more too." • Mrs. Aldine smiled at his friendly attempt to brighten her thoughts. He tinned: "All evils end like the drought, the ‘fresh’ and the locusts. Yours will too. Cheer up. Mrs. Aldine. Your day is not far off.” “Bert knows nothing of ranch work. His father died too soon to teach him how to till the land. The boy’s all for education, yet he has no books, and no.v khat he’s grown larger no clothes for his age—nothing but made over things from father’s stock. Those, too, will soon be all gone." "Allie’s han! sense will make him all right. Mr®. Ahllne. Girls are quick tu Mil into new ways. Your daughter may turn out a first class ranchwoman.” “I’m afraid not Every one of her letters contains something about a young man she has met around college. Every day I expect to hear that there’s a matt mnt. h.i on between them. Young folks off alone so don’t have proper advice about choosing company.” , . "But your Allie is a girl of brains. She’ll look out for ‘number one. wh»cb includes mother, brother and Gyp.” The Lord grant that you’re right. I have enough religion to pray that mucii. If Allie comes back, there will be joy on this ranch." "Don’t you worry: she’ll come. Sister Aldine.” urged the preacher, gathering up the reins. "And now, Bert," he added, turning to the boy, who came saunter­ ing behind Gyp. "I say again, you’re welcome to the few books I have. But yoji know a poor emigrant dominie can’t boast of a library equal to a town minister s. ‘‘Have you any that tell about blizzards?’’ asked the lad eagerly. , "Something like that among our young folks, and you shall have It too. 4 "I’ve read about.a book on blizzards, and I want to see one. May I go along now and fetch it for Christmas?” „ “WTiy. Bert.” said hta mother, “it’s most night and coming on chilly. Mr. Goodnow glanced skyward, shook his head dubiously, then cautioned Hefty to wait a day or so. Said he: "The wind is freshening, and it comes from the Good, Kind | Santa Claus [Copyright, 1201, by American Prem Ansociation. ] i Santa Claus has a local habitation and a name, so the only way for him to cover the wide realm occupied by his dear chil­ dren is to have a lively gait when the lime comes. He was born in Myra, in Asia Minor. He grew to fame and Im­ portance in Myra, and be was buried in Myra, but the whole world pretty much has known him a thousand years, yet not one in a million of his beneficiaries ever SMyra or even heard of it. St Nichothe original Santa Claus, was a wonul child. He could do anything. As soon as he could walk he began to travel around and pry into other people’s af­ faire. But this was not idle curiosity. OLD SANTA OX THE ROAD. He wanted to find out who deserved hap­ piness and lacked the means of happi­ ness. He found an old man in his native town of Pataca who bad three deserving daughters, but had no portion to give them in marriage, so, according to the to remain single, a most horrible fhfe. He got together a purse of gold and put it in the way of the distressed father, who knew just what to do with it without be­ ing told. He gave it to his eldest daugh­ ter for her marriage portion. She was wed and the household made happy. But the good old man of Patnra had three daughters, so St. Nicholas happen­ ed around in the nick of time to help the nthnr tjyo tfiL-n hnghawU- Thaiu»-Acta-rt/ kindness and liberality afflicted the saint with .enlargement of the heart, and he kept on slicing it off for the good of the people of Myra- He became the friend and patron of all who were in trouble, and sailors would not venture to sea on a difficult voyage until St. Nicholas sent his blessing. At last he died and was buried in Myra. But even hla bones could work miracles, so the people of Bari, a seaport town In Italy, took a no­ tion to bring the sacred dust to their own shorts. They sailed forth as pirates, raid­ ed the cathedral of Myra one dark night, stole the ’remains and all the sacred vest­ ments and bore them to Italy. There they have remained. But St. Nicholas dead is like St Nicho­ las alive, always looking for trouble—the trouble of others which he can relieve. He goes about the earth in various dis­ guises and under various names making up to worthy people what they lack to be happy. Children are his first care in these days because for centuries the children of Bari have honored his tomb and Ni birthday. This to the Ctb of DeWber. In some German countries St. Nicholas is known as Joseph and Kias. In Aus­ tria he is a terror to the nuraery and is called Krampus.

Who knows, we may have a real blizzard for Christmas. “It’s about getting lost in a blizzard that I want to read. That must be fun to get snowed under. I wouldn’t care, with Gyp along." "That’s well put in, ’with Gyp along.* Gyp’s an Alpine life saver. Guess I’d better be traveling along. Looks as though it were coming Soon." He clucked to his pony, and as he turned tto the friends h» was leaving he called out gayly, "A merry Christmas, and mauy of them!” The varying scene along the creek made fruitful study for the artist-minister as his sturdy mountain pony clattered over the sandy trail. The dog Gyp almost fell over himself as lie sniffl'd the air nt all points of the compass, lingering lon­ gest at the northwest, with his sensitive nose toward the peaks of the Rockies. If he read the weather signal, he made no further sign, but, doglike, accepted Bert’s challenge to a race as the boy darted down the house trail shouting: “Hooray for the blizzard! I ain’t afraid!" The widow likewise gave no sign of having read the portents of that flurry of clouds rising back of the mountains. Those snowy peaks were still bathed in sunlight. The sccb< held her eyes with a strange fascination. The little clouds increased, and rolled np like a black wall, hiding the hills and casting shadows across the low country'at their base. Suddenly the intervening miles of sunlight were blotted out, and the storm burst over tb<- plains. * Mrs. Aldine walked heavily after the racing boy and dog. In her mind hung an older picture than that which filled the eye. The visitor bad stirred deep mem­ ories, and she swiftly lived over the drama of years. First, the shock to John Al­ dine’s health, the sacrifice of haziness and home, emigration to the -plains and death within a snort year. The scanty fortune had been sunk in a quarter sec­ tion. with a cluster of modest ranch buildings. Then an eastern relative offered Alice a scholarship, with the chances of earning her expenses for the whole col­ lege course. Bert was then a lad of niue whose sole idea of the country wan a place to romp and have fun with the hayseeds. Out of this sad retrospect the ranchwoman was shaken by the noise of the gathering storm. The cold became intense. Snow as fine as salt sifted down before the wind, stinging the bare face and hands like needles. With Bert’s erratic help, the live stock of the ranch was turned in for shelter just as darkness camo down. As the boy and woman rushed with lowered heRds from the stable to the nearest door of their cabin Gyp bounded alongside in high spirits, bis nose often to the keenest blast. 1 1 1 1 Pages) to8. ---------------- . — , — WHOLE NO. Z419. "WeH, I won’t be ’only a house boy.’ I'm going after Gyp and the snowed traders, if there are any." "Gyp ought to be back by this time,” said Mrs. Aldine. Meanwhile she had quietly made ready for another trial. She added to her stock extra mittens for herself and Bert and a tin bucket filled with dry kindlings for making hot tea in the open. Bert carried the blankets strapped to his back. They had proceeded but a short distance through the deep snow when Bert began to tire. • "Gyp ought to be here to carry this pack and make a trail, shoulduVhe, ms?” ■ "He may be doing better work where he is.” Bert faced it more bravely than before and began tu see things more clearly. His mother was snow white, and he knew that he. too, must be covered with the powdered frost. , "AU you lack is a beard, mu. to be a big Santa Claus. I'm just a dwarf, and your reindeer has run on ahead.” "Yes. and his tracks lead up the hill along yonder ridge. The wind has swept the snow away there, aud we can trail him easy. He’s found something, or he’d been back long ago." ' Gyp’s tracks gradually became fainter, but the ridge itself was a guide. Tbs dog would take the shortest route, and Mrs. Aldine believed that travelers caught in the storm would niake for the shelter of an oak clump a few miles up the creek. Now and then she shaded her eyes and searched the line of the creek far ahead. The wagon trail ran aloag the valley, but that was drifted even with snow. At last they sighted the oaks, and there the keen eyes of the r&mchwomaa could outline a peculiar snowdrift, with patches of color flung over it. Was h a low cabin or a log pile snowed under? -Gyp’s tracks led to the strange drift. Its shape was irregular, and somrthinp besides driven snow held up the.even crefct. > "There’s a stage or a wagon,” said Mrs. Aldine. “What next?" •VT’don't see,” said Bert, shading his straining eyes. • "You will in a minute. Gyp’s there too." Speechless and eagerly they made that last spurt. Arched over with now, . they, saw some spokes of wheels and above them the profile of tn emigrant wagon thickly covered with icy snow. Beyond, partly hidden by winglike drifts branch-, log right and left and half buried in snow, were the figures of four horses, ths , wheelers of the team almost upright in the heavy bank, and the leader in the act of rearing to mount-the crest of a monster drift. In frantic struggle they had » perished from exhaustion aad cold. Gyp’s tracks led around over the horses’ bodies and the driver’s seat Bert , was instantly changed from boy to man. The. storm bad promised him a Christ­ mas picnic. Here was tragedy. Death might lie beneath that mysterious mound. Leaping ahead, he dashed to the torn end of the canvas cover, looked in and with­ drew his head long enough to shout, "Ma, M’s AHie!” then plunged through ths hole made by the frantic Gyp. tj "God grant we're not too late!” cried the mother, the full burden of her pre- * ‘ sentiment surging heavily upon her heart.

He had burrowed under the robes to-give the freezing girl the warmth of his own thick eoat and the heat from still warmer blood. quently he turned his pleading eyes on tho*thera, watching their every movement with curious gaze. At length he set up a low whine to call their attention to the storm. "Gyp wants to tackle it, ma," said Bert. "Tomorrow him and me’ll have a Christmas trip up the creek. It’ll be fine fun!" , “He sniffs trouble, and so do I. The last two days I’ve seen scraps floating in the creek. That rm-ans tenderfoot camp up above. Bits of Rtraw, broken buckets, scraps of newspaper, horse combings and the like don't come down the creek from nowhere." "Somebody’s coming for Christmas, ma?" asked the boy, with widening eyes.

The weather during November has been cold, the average temperature be­ ing about two degrees below the nor­ mal. It was a dry month also, since the precipitation was one inch or about one-half of the normal. This weather made it favorable for busking corn and delivering sugar beets to the factories. In many parts of the State pastures have dried up so that fanners have been obliged to feed their stock. Wheat. The condition of wheat, as compared with an average is 82 in the State, 78 in the southern counties, 87 In the central counties, and 93 in the northern coun­ ties. Only a few correspondents report the presence of the Hessian' fly and practically none report any damage done. Wheat was sown several days later than usual this year. While the growth has been small the plant is in good condition. The acreage is much smaller than usual as many farmers have sown rye instead. The total number of bushels of wheat reported marketed by farmers in Nov­ ember at the flourishing mills is 234,271, ^evatora 85,684, or a total of bushels. Of this whole amount 186,030 bushels were marketed in the southern counties, 130.332 bushels in the central counties and 13,593 bushels in the northern counties. The total num­ ber of bushels of wheat reported mar­ keted in the four months. August-Nov­ ember, is 1.544.S36, which Is J42,932 bushels less than reported marketed in the same months last year. At 45 mills and elevators from which reports have been received there was no wheat mar­ keted in November. The total amount of wheat shipped by railroads from the various stations as reported for Octo­ ber is 178,303. Live Stock. The condition of Hve stock through­ out the State is good. In some coun­ ties considerable stock is being fed for market. In those sections where chol­ era has been prevalent hogs have been hurried to market before properly fat­ tened. The high price of corn has also m,ade farmers less willing to take the chances of loss from disease. Many western cattle and sheep are being fed. There are some reports of disease among horses and sheep, but nothing more than usually occurs at this time of the year. The condition of horses Is 96 and of cattle, sheep and swine 97.( • Fall Pasture. Fall pasture has not been as good as • usual this fall. In many counties fanners have been obliged to feed their • stock for the last.two mouths. Z The condition of pasture in the south­ ern counties is 87, in the central coun- a ies 93, in the northern counties 95 and in the State 90. Fred M. Warner, Secretary of State. • Are very often hard to select Tor the reason that “most everybody” has “most everything” and to get anything “new” that is serviceable, sensible and all right is often difficult But to the Housewife we have something new and we believe every lady will be interested in looking at it It is , , THE SAVORY ROASTER JUST PUT ON THE MARKET. It is built on a sensible plan and appeals to anyone’s judgment. It is oval in form on the inside and the bottom does not rest on the oven in any place. With the ordinary ROASTER, which is flat bottomed and testa on the floor of the • oven, all moisture from the meat has no chance to accumulate and is burned up on the bottom. With the SAVORY ROASTER, which is oval on the inside -and does not touch the oven, all juices flow to the lowest part, where they are vaporized by the heat and again deposited on the surface of the meat. With the SAVORY ROASTER no • basting” is necessary and no attention is required. All this Roaster asks is TO BE LET ALONE. Another thing about it that will appeal to the Housewife is that there are NO CORNERS OR SEAMS to catch greece and pieces of burned meat. The SA VOR Yis in a class by itself and no other can be compared to it. This would be an excellent present for your wife or lady friend, and is not expensive. SOMETHING ELSE THAT’S NEW We have some ADJUSTABLE DOUBLE RUNNER SKATES FOR LITTLE CHILDREN. They can be adjusted to fit a child of any age and are absolutely safe and all right. Each skate has two runners instead of one and avoids all danger of injury, besides being easy and comfortable for the child.

Add another name to the Jong list of Heaven’s great ones, Grandma Dunn. \ Her maiden name was Mary Eliza Cookson. She was liom March *4, 1817 j in the town of Viptor, ■'Ontario Co., i New York. At the age of two years,' I she with her parente moved to Nunda, I Livingston Co., N. Y„ In 1833 the | family moved to -Chatauqua, N. Y. In . 1833 her mother died leaving five chil­ dren. Being the oldest of the children she was left to superintend their home, the youngest of her brothers and sis­ ters being at this time only nine months I old. Grandma laughingly told this I storv of herself. A young man, while she was at a friend’s house, ] asked to see her home. She said he i could but he would have to carry the j baby brother. ; On Dec. 31, 1838 she was married to Daniel C. Doty. In 1844, with a fami- I ly of three children they moved to I Michigan and bought the east W of | section 19 in the township of Johns-j j town. For two years they worked a ] farm four miles east of Battle Creek.; ] In 1846 they moved into the shanty I they bad built on their entirely new | farm, with not a house in sight. Here I they labored together happily enjoying I their work and built them a home. | May. 23,1868 her husband D. C. Doty | ] died. In 1869 she married W. S.

Cressey of Warrensburg, Wis., and her I son, F. E. Doty, of this place, she de- | cided to build her present home near the church of her choice, where she has | greatly enjoyed her Christian work, 11 during the last years of her life. Grandma Dunn was a remarkable ] character in many respects. She was a j great reader. The Banner had a place on her table aud she read it.

The southern states have been so successful in disfranchising the negroes that there is not a colored man in con­ gress. This is the first time in 32 years that this has been the case. The Emperor of Germany has been giving his attention to the great con­ sumption of beer among his subjects, and as a result a movement is on foot to de away with the practice to a large exteat. ADPTIONAL LOCAL. Thursday evening about ten o’clock Mra. J. W., Bancroft went down cellar to fix ths fire for the night, and ob­ serving that a small window was raised stepped upon a small box, about a foot tiigti, to close It. In some way the box overturned and she was thrown violently to the cellar floor in such a way as to suffer an impacted fracture of the hip bone. Assistance was secured and she was carried up stairs. Dre. Lowry and .Fuller were called aud reduced the fracture and at the present time she is getting along nicely, though it will be some time be­ fore she will be able to get around. Mrs. Bancroft bears her injury with the most becoming fortitude and calmness, which wfflno doubt be of great assist­ ance in bringing about a' speedier recovery. 1 EFFORT BEING MADE TO ESTAB­ LISH ONE HERE.

K. P. can take pride in the fact that at least two members of the old time Champions, who never met with defeat, are acting as Captains of Divisions which expect to take part in the Championship contests in Cali­ fornia next year. Dr. S. M. Fowler, of Battle Creek, has been for some time acting as Captain of the Battle Creek Division, and Ed Holbrook, ot the Lansing Division. Both of these gen­ tlemen received their instruction un­ der Capt. A. D. Niskern, of Hastings Division, now Major in the U. 8. ser­ vice. Major Niskern is universally re­ garded as the peer of any drill master in the country, and to him is due the laurels won by the noted Division of this city. Both Battle Creek and Lansing Knights are to be congratu­ lated upon having men trained under Maj. Niskern to lead them. We have heard many reports about the two Divisions above named and we hope and expect to see both of them come out of the contest next year with the laurels of victory. Nothing ever ad­ vertised the city of Hastings as has Hastings Division. The Division is well known in Pythian circles every where, and its unbroken string of's Have Been Very Our Fault Successful did Market for Fruits. S. J. Sherrod, of Decatur, repreeentin the Hastings Industrial Company, of Chicago, is in the city and is making an effort to establish a canning factory in Hastings, similar to those whfch have been started in Decatur, Galesburg and various other places in the state, and with which he invites all prospective stock holders to write for information as to whether they are profitable or not. A meeting of the Barry County Fruit Growers Association was held Saturday for the purpose of discussing the project, but owing to the very bad weather, and to the further fact that but few members knew of the meeting, nothing of special importance was done though several hundred dollars were subscribed toward the enterprise. An­ other meeting has been calle^ for qext Saturday, and a large turnout is ex­ pected. The proposition is to build a factory 32 by 60 feet in length, with additions and “L’s” enough to make a building 160 feet long, and equip it with up-todate machinery and appliances for do­ ing the work! For this, stock to the value of $6,950 Is to be issued, of -the par value of 8100 per shai^, with/the understanding that the citjHs-Co fur­ nish a Rite free of charge. Early in the week about 81,000 had been sub­ scribed and but very few people had been approached on the subject. The factory when in operation will give employment to from 125 to 150 hands four or five months of the year, and will have a pay roll of from 8600 per week up. Everything from a strawberry to a pumpkin will be canned, and the Company will furnish an experienced man to do the canning and guarantees to sell the entire product of the factory for the first year. The factory will contract with all patrons in advance for what fruit it can use, and at a cer­ tain price, so that patrons may know just what to expect and can count on it For instance, on tomatoes tbe Com­ pany will pay 20 cents per bushel, and those who claim to know, state that at this price 880 per acre is an ordinary yield, and indeed a low estimate. Dur­ ing the season the product of 125 acres of tomatoes alone can be used. It is estimated that from 825,000 to 850.000 per year will be paid out to the fruit growers of this vicinity if the factory is established. Such an institution, properly man­ aged and conducted, would be of great benefit to the city, would afford an ex­ cellent market for kinds and qualities of fruit that now practically go to waste, besides giving employment to many hands during the busy season.

He was at the opera house Monday night, and was greeted by a full house, standing roum .being at a premium. He came wed recommended and measured fully up to the highest expectation. This play was made to entertain, and as such it is a pronounced success. For more than two hours Monday night there was one continuous roar of laughter. From the first rising of the curtain to the last going down, a straight face was impossible. In a troupe of twentyone drained artists it is rather difficult to distinguish stars. Mr. Dan Sherman, as the impersonator of Old Dan Tuck­ er, a veritable “jay” from tbe country, was an unqualified success. Mr. Earl Gillihan, m a tramp comedian, Is the omnipresent fuu producer of the ag­ gregation, while Mr. E. Kliment, as Reuben Rickstraw, who simulates for a time the appearance of Old Dan Tucker, produces a “Comedy of Er• rors” that vividly recalls Shakes peare’s famous play of that name. Miss Dorothy Carlisle, as a widow open for engagement, plays her part in excellent taste, while Miss Bessie Fox plays Mary, the widow’s truant daugh­ ter, with artistic skill; but Mabel De­ Forest, the soubrette of the company, is a star of the first magnitude, who was * a favorite with tbe audience from her first appearance, and her popularity in­ creased as the performance proceeded. There was not a dull moment from opening to close; the specialties were fine, the music excellent, and the band of fourteen pieces far above tbe aver­ age. If this company should come again, it would meet, if peedble, with a better reception than thia time. There is many a hearty laugh in “Old Dan Tucker,” the farce-comedy present­ ed by Dan Sherman at the Grand last night. That Mr. Sherman is a comedian is proven by his ability to make people laugh even when they are trying to look sober. He can also start their risibles without any apparent effort mere­ ly by a pose or grimace. Tbe play is little more than a skit, just enough to carry a lot of specialties, singing, danc­ ing and a grist of funny business, in which “Old Dan” leads, and is ably as­ sisted by Mabel DeForest, Earl Gillihan, Doroth< Carlisle, Bettie Fox and three sisters Thomj^on. “Old Dan Tucker” will stay until tomorrow night, with Opera House Hastings, One Night, Tuesday, Dec. 24, Robert N.

Ever since the reckoning of time began the fortune of the new year’s initial day has been re­ garded as In a measure Indicative of what was to come during the twelve months succeeding. We no longer go to augurs to foretell the future—that is. most of us dWot-for Instead of be­ ing Installed in temples and living tn luxury "the soothsayers now Inhabit humble quarters in back streets and al­ leys. But the vein of superstition which runs through tbe human race is bound to manifest Itself In some way. and. although we are prone to regard ourselves as quite apove the foolish practices of our ancestors, we never­ theless, In lingering remnants of cus­ tom, show that perhaps we are not so far advanced as we think ourselves. This desire to peer into the future Is the origin of not a few of the super­ stitions which we now openly i!«*rlile. with a mental reservation that, per­ haps, after all. It la just barely possible there may be something in them. In nearly all countries some form of divination Is practiced, particularly by tbe young, on New Year’s day to fore­ tell the future.

The actions and voices of the animal associates of man were formerly on this day above all others significant of good or evil to ■come.

To see a pig is re­ garded throughout soutnern Europe as a fortunate omen, signifying plenty in the coming twelve months, while tbe sight of a crow, a magpie or a jackdaw, probably from the thievish propensities of these birds, is regarded as a sign that the beholder will be systematic-1 ally swindled during the coming twelve months. —— HOW TO CARVE A TURKEY.

Detroit, Mich., Dec. 17.—Charles D^rocheb qnd Edward Meaaler were instantly kflkyj yesterday morning about 6:30 by a Lfike Shore train just south of the Wabash railroad crossiug near Delray. , Vjhlrd man, Ernest Helslemann, escaped with serious in­ juried. • • The three men were walking along the Michigan Central railroad tracks toward the plant of the Michigan Car­ bon works, and at Rlopelle street in River Rouge village they noticed a Michigan Central passenger train com­ ing west in front of them. The, Lake Shore tracks are some distance fcpni the Michigan Central tracks, and the men walked over to the Lake Shore tracks to go along un­ til the Michigan Central .train should pass. Helslemann, the only survivor of the party, says he saw tbe Lake Shore train in the distance, speeding toward Detroit, but supposed he and his com­ panions could keep on the Lake Shore track until the Michigan Central train would pass, before the Lake Shore train would be upon them. Apparently they miscalculated the speed of the Lake Shore train, for they had been walking along the track only a few minutes when the locomo­ tive struck them and tossed them high into the air. The fact that Helslemann was out­ side the rail saved his life.

Fits. Albert Leonard of the Michigan N«rmal School System, Deputy Superin­ tendent of Public Instruction W, B. French, Professor S. B. Laird and Mias Margaret Wise of the Normal Collie make np the list. A definite program has not as yet been drafted but the following sketch will give an.idea of the general plan: The institute will open Thursday evening, Jan. 30, with an address by Dr. Leonard. Both forenoon and af­ ternoon sessions of Friday will be taken up with addresses by Dep. Supt, French, Prof. Laird and Mias Wise. Friday evening Prof. Laird will give ha address. Two sessions will be held sn Saturday and addresses will be giveti by Prof. Laird and Miss Wise. We feel deeply grateful to the De­ partment for these splendid assign­ ments and we ask the teachers of Barry county (and adjoining counties as Weil) to unite with us in helping Co make this coming institute the most taspfah ing and helpful in the educational his­ tory of the county. Parts of the program will be arrang­ ed with a view of providing material for all those of the general public whe are interested in the welfare of ear schools and to all such we extend a hearty invitation to be present at the several sessions. Special announcements will be made from week to week through the county papers and a full program .will be printed later. This institute, by vote of the executive committee of the County Teacher’s Association, will take the place of the regular winter meeting of that organization and in conse­ quence there should be a stronger ef­ fort to make the meeting doubly valu­ Jno.

It is easy to find a cheap soap; but to find purity and low price in a single soap is not easy. They combine in Ivory Soap. You can afford to use it in the laundry; you can not afford not to use it elsewhere. It is vegetable-oil soap, in the cheapest form in which it can be pro­ cured. You pay nothing for a fancy box, wrapper or perfume. It is all in the soap! It floats.

HUI Toaate to ■•Patriotiem." Philadelphia, Dec. 24.—The 21st an­ nual "banquet of the New England So­ ciety of Pennsylvania* was held last night in Horticultural hall, cover* be­ ing laid for nearly 400 members and guests. Guests were present from New York, Baltimore. Washington. Boston and other cities. Assistant United State* Attorney-General James M. Beck, president of the society, opened the speech-making with a brief address. In coming do^n the line of the illustrious New Englanders, President Beck mentioned the name of George Dewey. This was the signal for an outburst of applause such as was not repeated during the remainder of the evening. The chairman then In traduced as the first speaker Associate Justice David J. Brewer, of tbe United States supreme court, who responded to toast. "The United States; a world power." Among other things he said: “The 20th century bring* us face to face with new conditions, and we are conscious that the United State* of America have become a more im­ portant factor in the world's thought. Some fancy that the Spanish war wrought the great change. This is hardly so. It may have cleared the air and brought us face to face with the consciousness of the change, but silent forces of commerce and religion have been at work for years bringing about that result." David J. Hill, first assistant secre­ tary of state, responded to the toast "Patriotism.” He said the patriotism of place has played a glorious part in the history of the world and has nerved men to noble deeds on many a field of honor. American patriotism, he said, is not born of possession, but of Inspiration; not of the influence of place, but of the inspiration of prin­ ciples. Continuing, he said: “A great movement wa* when the strug­ gle for local sovereignty surrendered its pretensions and recognized the reality of the nation and the solidity of the union. Another great move­ ment was when this great republic stretched forth its hand of pacification over the island of Cuba, rent with in­ surrection and devastated by fire and sword, and consecrated the sovereign­ ty of a powerful nation to the work of peace. I make no argument here to justify the recent course of events, but I believe the days of Washington, Lincoln and McKinley are glorious days in the history of our country They mark the triumph of patriotism. of\principle over the patriotism of place, of ethics over geography, and of humanity over locality." Burned In Their Home. Dubois. Pa.. Dec. 23.—Word reached here today of a terrible holocaust that occurred about three miles from Summerville. Jefferson county. Sun­ day morning.

LITERALLY GROUND TO PIRCU. Frightful Fatal Elevator Aocident to a Muskegon Man.

The gate shoved the man’s head down on the floor of the ascending cage, turned the lower por­ tion of the body so that tbe man''was carried between the cage and the wall face downward. The crushing of Ben­ ton’s bones could be heard, as the body was ground in the narrow space.

Count Bergey de Smollanlnoff, who died In Washington a few months ago In poverty, left behind an invention in perfecting which he spent the last few years of his life. It was a high ex­ plosive, to which the gave the name of cerberite, says the Philadelphia Times. Some Washington business men had become Interested in his invention, and recently the new explosive was prac­ tically tested. The material used was 60 per cent cerberite, the equivalent of 60 per cent dynamite, made up in the usual form of cartridges or sticks.’ About 70 pounds were placed In nine deep holes drilled in tough blue sand­ stone ledge. When all was ready, an electric button was touched. Instantly flames leaped out of the nine holes and with a rushing sound an Immense body of stone torn from the hillside fell to the quarry floor. Other experiments were made show­ ing that it la a safe explosive to handle. It may be struck with a hammer, rubbed with sandpaper, burned In a bright flame without exploding. It can be exploded only by the simultaneous action of three things—-flame, heat and concussion, which in practice are se­ cured by means of a detonating cap. It is claimed for cerberite that prac­ tically It will not freeze, that water does not affect It and that it can be exploded when in direct contact with water. This was shown recently by the fact that some of the boles con­ tained water anywhere from an inch or two to a foot In depth. Cerberite does not give off when exploded nox­ ious fumes or gases and la smokeless. The new explosive is made in three forms—liquid, gelatin and powder. A young Englishman has Invented a new automatic weaving loom for which great things are claimed. Richard Marsden, editor of The Textile Mer­ cury, says of it: “It is capable of attachment at a comparatively small cost to existing single box looms. There are 850,000 power looms in Great Britain. Out of this number Crossley's invention will be capable of being applied to 000,000. “There is no commercial limit to tbe speed of the loom of that adjustment. Assuming that a loom is working at 200 picks per minute, which is a good average rate, this loom without any pause in its action changes the shuttle In one four-hundredth part of a minute —that Is, half a revolution of the first shaft “It effects this change and at ths same time entirely avoids the faults made In looms as ordinarily construct­ ed—that Is, making what are termed thick and thin places in the dotluelther by putting too much or too llttle.-weft In.” The despised wire grass of the Wis­ consin marshes, which has annoyed farmers and cattle raisers for years, which cattle would not eat, drought would not destroy and cultivation could not eradicate, Is now being har­ vested and made into doormats and binding twine. About 1,500 men find employment in the factories using the grass, and there is promise of a rapid growth in the Industry. It has now been shown that good mats can be made from the grass, and factories to produce such goods are being erected. They will also try to make rugs, mat­ ting, carpet lining, bagging and other like goods from the material An apparatus has been patented by Major A. and Asa L. Stump of Nor­ mantown, W. Va., which it would teem should do away with the neces­ sity of docking vessels In order to clean their bottoms. The contrivance consists of a number of scrapers. These are suspended on cables from the rail of tbe vessel by the means of rolling hangers, and the contrivance is pulled lengthwise of the hull by a main cable which is wound on a drum situated on the deck of the vessel. Tbe scrapers are composed of heavy wood­ en blocks, which contain steel abralding blades. The Inventors claim that these blades will remove barnacles with the ship afloat as well as it can be done In drydock, without' the loss of time necessary by tbe old method; that, in fact, the ship may maintain her course throughout the operation.

Blackburn, whose en­ gagement to Senator Joe Blackburn of Kentucky Is announced and whose wed­ ding will take place quietly tn Wash­ ington tn the near future. Is the widow of Judge H. H. Blackburn of Martins­ burg, W. Ya. Judge Blackburn was the law partner of Ward H. Lamon, Presi­ dent Lincoln's old associate and friend, and during his lifetime Mrs. Blackburn was one of the leaders of social life In tbs old state. Before marriage she was Miss McHenry of Maryland, the daugh­ ter of Robert McHenry, a noted lawyer. After her widowhood, about three years ago, she came to Washington and be­ came the companion ot her mother, who died a few months later. Mrs. Blackburn Is a beautiful woman, pos­ sessed of great personal magnetism and grace of mind and body and will easi­ ly take her place as one of the most popular women of the senatorial circle. Near Laporte, Ind., Ilves a woman who is believed to be the oldest married person in America. She has lived in three centuries. She is Mrs. Ferdinand Reese, aged 107 years. Her husband is 24 years yganger, being 83 years old. There is nothing problematical about the age of Mrs. Reese. She has docu­ ments in her possession which the par­ ish priest has carefully examined and pronounced genuine and which sub­ stantiate everything she has said of herself. She was born in Volgravltz, Poland. In 1794. Her parents were of the poorest class, and as soon as she was < years: old she was sent into the forests'to pick up bark for the charcoal burners. Her maiden name was Marla Pavleschlnsky. When the French in­ vaded Volgravltz, the Inhabitants fled. Mrs. Reese, then a young woman, re­ mained behind In the town, trying to save -some of the wretched belongings of her family from pillage. The French soldiers had entered the place before she could get out, and one of her neigh­ bors pointed out to her a stocky little man on horseback as the emperor of tbe French. When a young woman, she married Conrad Cbappon. They bad three chil­ dren. two of whom died in Poland, while the third died at Dunkirk, N. Y. Upon tbe death of her first husband she married Andrew Katschisky. In 1870, then nearly an octogenarian, hav­ ing been left a widow for the second time, she came to America, locating near Dunkirk, where she met and was married to Ferdinand Reese on Jnly 5, 187G. Two years later the couple mi­ grated to Laporte county, Ind., where her busband owns a ten acre tract In Hudson township. > Both of these old people attribute their great age to the simplicity of their habits. They eat two meals a day, each tneal consisting chiefly of com bread and coffee. Veils are not worn exclusively as hat trimmings. They have a more useful purpose. “Will you show me your black veil­ ing, please; something heavy enough to hide theee blotches?" It was a business woman who thus addressed tbe clerk at tbe veiling coun­ ter at one of our large Main street stores the other day. The obliging clerk delved down into a pile of veilings and brought forth a heavy*chlffon, which the customer held before her face as she looked into tbe mirror to ascertain If tbe unsightly spots were hidden from view. She drew a-sigh and said: “No; it is not thick enough. I may as well confess that I have been in search of beauty by cleansing my blood, and my physician assured me the other day that If I took bls tablets that 1 would soon have a perfect complexion. Of course be admitted that I would have one or two pimples on the face, but that they would not amount to much. “Just look at me!

She replied that the}’ wanted too much and that she would take charge of unloading it herself. She sent her daughter down into the hold of the boat to pass the lumber up to her son, who was on the wharf, and he handed it to the hired man, who did the piling. It did not take long to finish tbe Job. Mrs. Stan­ ton stood on the deck of tbe boat giv­ ing orders. Mrs. Stanton afterward said that It was impossible for her to pay 40 cents per 1,000 feet for unloading, as she only receives 00 cents per 1.000 for transporting, and after tbe towing and dock expenses were paid she would have very little left for herself.

Here is a hint for collectors of an­ tique furniture and the like who look to France as a source of their supply. A suit was recently brought by a wom­ an In one of the Paris courts to recov­ er from a dealer In antiques J400 paid for a pair of candlesticks which bad been described In tbe catalogue and on the bills as “Louis Seise.” After she had bought the candlesticks she sub­ mitted them to a connoisseur, who, without hesitation, said, that they had been made between 1890 and tbe pres­ ent day. Much alarmed, tbe purchaser took her candlesticks to an expert, and he pronounced the same judgment, whereupon she brought suit. The court decided against her on the ground that the term “Louis Seize” should be held legally to signify not that tbe object to which It Is applied by tbe dealer is an authentic work turned out during the reign of Louis XVI. but merely that tbe article In question is “in the style of that pe­ riod.” The report of the case does not tell whether the $400 paid for the candlesticks was a fair valuation of their. Intrinsic worth, but If It was not It looks as If-the French law bad open­ ed a clear path for the dealers In “an­ tiques" to make a harvest at the ex­ pense of greenhorn collectors. while still a mere chit of a girl, to manufacture rag dolls, and. palQtiUK their faces blackj she sewed knitted hair on their beads, tied a graceful bandanna turban and then robed them In the old time guinea blue dress, with white apron and 'white handkerchief.

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