First take a level and tape line, go 30 feet from the top of hill, measure 30 feet from top all round the bill, setting stakes at each place; then take the level and see what kind of a slope you have to deal with. If medlutp slope a one-horse plow Is sufficient—say a slope of 2 or 3 feet—but for more would re­ quire a deeper furrow. Run twice to each 30 feet of ditch. Throw dirt out, leaving n ditch 2 feet wide, 1 foot deep or a little over; on these banks sow or plant blue grass or red clover to hold the banks. Then plant two rows of trees d feet, from these ditches, prune up to be bushy and thrifty, and then If you wish you can set grape vines along the ditches about 2 feet off. Let rows of trees be 15 feet apart each way. and you have your orchard fixed so as to turn your hogs In when you wish, to pick up all the fallen fruit. By thia method you will make both ends meet. The hogs will become healthy and fat, your trees will be free from borers and many other Insects that raise In the fallen fruit. The fruit will be much larger and finer and free from rotten spots, and the trees will be vlgoroua and healthy.—Practical Farmer.

The National Provlsloner, speaking of removing the skins from cattle and calves, gives the following bints, which It will pay any farmer or stock raiser to take note of, for even though one may not kill an animal for eating pur­ poses, no one is no fortunate to never lose one by accident or disease. In skinning beef hides and calf skins keep the baejt-of the knife close to the hide and df»w it tightly with the left-hand. By following this suggestion the lia­ bility to cut or score Is considerably lessened. On the foreleg the knife should go down to the armpit, so called, and then forward to the point of the hrisket. On the hind leg the cut should be made from the hoof of one down to the back of the leg. semi circularly across one to the other, and on to the other, and on the hoof. The throat should nfiver be cut crosswise, and the born and tall bones should always be removed. The operation of salting is equally important. To salt bides thoroughly a water-bucket full of good salt should be used to each sixty­ pound hide, the quantity for large and small hides being in proportion. After this they should be rubbed and rolled up. Independent of euts and scores, bides which are not taken off in the manner specified are classed as No. Ur by not watt for State aid to improve the roads, as they cannot afford to haul their produce over roads that are al­ most Impassable.

During all the period from the meet­ ing of Congress in December until tbe actual declaration of war the President and his advisers, in spite of their reiterat­ ed belief in a peaceful solution of the diffi­ culty, were steadily preparing for actual hostilities, nnd tins, too, long before the Maine was blown up. Official dispatches bare been made public which establish this fact completely. In January Ad­ miral Selfridge was in command of the Europgan station, nnd on Jan. 11, 1898, he was instructed to retain his sailors in spite of the expiration of enlistment. Five days later the gunboat Helena, at Fun­ chal. Madeira, which had been ordered to the Asiatic station, received orders mark­ ed "secret and confidential,” to delay Its departure, and the next day it was or­ dered to Lisbon. At the same time Captp.ln Chester, in command of the South Atlantic squadron, received-a confidential dispatch directing him to announce unoffi­ cially that the cruisers Cincinnati am? Castine would go to the northern bound­ ary of bis station for drill and exercise, then proceed'.to Para, Braxil, "without causing comment.’’ The same day, which was Jan. 17, the Wilmington, at Guadelonp, received instructions canceling its orders’to go to South America, and re­ taining it in the Windward Islands with-out touching at Spanish ports. .Commo­ dore Dewey, nt Yokohama, ns early as Jan. 27 was instructed to disregard en­ listments aud keep his sailors. The Maine was blown up Feb. 15; ten days later Theodore Roosevelt sent to Dewey the first Warlike dispatch, which rend: “Secret and confidential: Order the squadron, except Mouocacy, to Hong I Kong. Keep full of coal. In the event of declaration of war with Spain your duty will be to see that the Spanish squad­ ron does not leave the Asiatic coast, and then begin offensive operations in the Philippine Islands. Keep Olympia uutil further orders." The Monocacy was practically useless nnd the Olympia was under orders to re­ turn home. At this time Secretary Long was giving out interviews daily affirming that the Maine was destroyed by accident and that there was no danger of war. Yet the day after Roosevelt’s stirring dispatch to Dewey Secretary Long sent dispatches to Chester in "the Barbadocs, Miller nt Honolulu, Howell nt Lisbon. Dewey at Hong Kong and Sicaru at Key West, all of which rend significantly: “Keep full of epaj—the best that can be had.” March 7, six weeks before the declaration of war. In ordering tbe Brooklyn to Hampton Roads to leave the flying squadron. Secre­ tary Long used the unusual expression: “The situation is getting worse.” April 7, n little over two weeks before the'dec­ laration of wnr. Commodore Dewey'was cabled: "Land all woodwork, stores, etc., it is not qpnsidered necessary to have for operation"—an order which, of course, contemplated nothing less than an attack ■on tbe Philippines. Three days before that Admiral Sampson at Key West hndl been instructed to be ready nt any time to take possession of the Key West cable office, and assigned an officer to stop the transmission to Cuba of any telegram re­ lating to the action of tbe President or Congress. The destruction of the Maine hurried things along, but the United States, it appears, was preparing for a war without exciting comment long before that terrible catastrophe. HEAVY MARINE LOSSES. Marine losses during 1898 were mate­ rially greater than during any previous season on the lakes. Up to the nifiidle of July insurance-men were congratulating themselves that they were doing well. The losses had been few. and there was a large margin of premiums to cover the latter half of the season. Along in Sep­ tember the trouble began, and it did not cease nntil the last ixjut was in port at the close of the season. The trouble was not confined to any one cause. Fire contributed an unusual num­ ber of big losses, but strandings were pre­ eminent. The collision Item was much smaller tbau iu previous years. As to the grand total of losses from all causes, no two. underwriters make estimates within n half of a million dollars of one another. A general average of statements made by people who are in touch with tbe business places the aggregate loss at about $2,­ 600.000. Vesselmen. who’itre fearful of high rates next season, protest that these iignres are too high. In a list of 503 losses the causes assign­ ed were as follows: Ashore. 123; aground iu protected channels, 126; fire. 40: col­ lisions, 90; ice, 16; storm-beaten, 96; foun­ dered, 8; miscellaneous causes, 116. Owing to protracted drouth, many peo­ ple in Monterey County, CaL, are on the verge of starvation. There are over 200 creameries iu South Dakota, the annual outpat amounting to nearly $3,000,000. .

There is no mistaking the fact that sen timent is growing in Congress against the Morgan proposition to buy the conces­ sions now held by the Maritime Cana] Company and build a ship canal across .Nicaragua according to the conditions in such concession. A great many sincere friends of the canal cannot bring them­ selves to believe that it would be the best thing for the Government to go ahead un­ der this particular concession. They con­ tend that to do so would be to commit this Government to the expenditure of anywhere from $40,000,000 to $75,000,­ 000 over and above the actufil cost of the xanal proper, and they do not see the ne­ cessity of assuming any such responsibil­ ity. They honestly believe that it will not be fatal to the canal project to allow the concession to the American company to expire and begin negotiations direct with the Government of Nicaragua, for the right to construct a water way across that country. The American peace commissioners and their assistants have been obliged to pay all their personal expenses out of tbe com­ pensation allowed them by the President The expense which the Government de­ frayed included office rent, stationery and general expense. Tbe hotel bills of the commissioners were not defrayed by the Government. As the personal expenses of the commissioners were very high, a comparatively small amount was left to each commissioner and each officer of the commissiop out of tbp President’s allot­ ment of salaries. Each commissioner will receive about $17,000 for his services, and out of this he must pay all personal ex­ penses contracted on his trip abroad. Sec­ retary Moore will receive half the amount paid to each commissioner, and as hie personal “expenses were as heavy as those of the members of the commission he will fare worse than his superiors. Of the 1,700 letters which President McKinley received one day last week one of the most interesting was from a Chi­ cago man named Dougherty. He offered this suggestion: “The United States went to war to set Cuba free. Now we have it in our power to liberate another country of far greater importance and interest without going to war. That is Ireland. We have on our hands the Philippine Isl­ ands, which we may offer to England as a compensation as well ns to relieve our­ selves of what may turn out to be a white elephant. McKinley's aucestors were Irish nnd his great-granduncle, Francis McKinley, was shot down by the British soldiers as an Irish rebel after a farcical court martial about 100 years ago.” Under the provisions of the bill for the Increase of the army the regular force will consist of 3,942 commissioned officers and 00,815 enlisted men, making a total of 100,757 men in all. There will be one lieutenant general, six major generals, t*enty-four brigadier generals, 114 colo­ nels, 150 lieutenant colonels, 447 majors, 1,053 captains, 1.401 first lieutenants and 740 second lieutenants. The total enlisted strength of each arm will be: Infantry, 53,220 men; light field coast artillery, 20,­ 598 men; cavalry, 15,840 men; medical de­ partments, 3,750; signal corps, 030; ord­ nance department, 605; engineers, 1,862; subsistence department, 160, and the quartermaster's department, 150 men,. The President says the idea of placing the graves of Confederate soldiers under the care of tbe Government first occurred to him twelve years ago, when he visited the city of Fredericksburg, Va. He found the Confederate cemetery in a deplorable condition, while under the care of the quartermartcr'B department the graves of the Federal dead were nicely trimmed aud kept in perfect order. He resolved then that he would take the first opportunity t- bring this matter before the, attention of tbe country, am]-be thinks the time has now come when the dead of both armies should be looked after by the Government. The Canadian high joint commission will soon reconvene in Washington. It is not true, as widely staled, that the con­ ference is a failure nnd that indications point to a non-agreement upon a treaty between the United States aud Canada. Directly contrary is lhe.gnse. The Cana­ dian and American commissioners are gradually getting together upon the impor­ tant points of difference, and there -is lit­ tle doubt of an ultimate agreement. Before the end of January,50,000 volun­ teers will be mustered out of the service, the preliminary orders for this having al­ ready been drafted. Present plans'are that tbe troops which have seen foreign service will be let out first, but tbe con­ dition of some of the Southern camps is such as to cause apprehension of an out­ break of typhoid fever, and before the mustering out program is finally arrang­ ed it may be deemed necessary to break up those camps. All of the soldiers in the Cuban army will be taken care of. If they want wages they will be given employment upon the public works. If they prefer to remain in the army they will be organized into rural police, the intention being to keep them together and prevent them from scaMeriug idly like tramps throughout the counChampions of an extra session of the Fifty-sixth Congress for the enactment of monetary legislation do not hesitate to admit that they are having n hard time •••inverting weak members to their way of thinking. Still, they are keeping ever­ lastingly nt it. ■ Robert P. Porter says the customs col­ lections at the port of Santiago are al­ ready twice as much as they used to be under Spanish control, and that when the internal revenue system is adopted there will be plenty of money to support tbs' Government and construct much-needed public works. rhe Greatest Success of the Age Sold in Nashville only by E.

A Californian has designed a boiler which cleans itself of all impurities in the water, tbe fi-ed pipe being curved after it enters tbe boiler to cause thwater to revolve, the dirt gradually falling into a funnel in the bottom to be drawn off through a faucet Raxora can be quickly sharpened by a new device formed of a circular piece of flexible material, baring a fine grind­ ing powder on its face, the sharpener being folded over the beck of the raxor ao that the grinding surface seta on the blade m it sHdes back and forth. An Ohio woman has patented a matchbox for pocket use, which is opened at the bottom to load, tbe matches being pushed out one at a time by a button on the side of the safe, the head coming lart and paaeing over a roughened surface to ignite it. Fence posts can be securely anchored without driving into the ground by means of a new brace, which is formed of a cast-dron cone with a shank at the top on which a short post is placed to drive It into the ground, a strand of wire running to the top of the post to steady it. FROM THE SPANISH. Long journeys, long lies. Another's care bangs by a hair. He who singa frightens away ills. Where there is music there is no harm. God works the cure, the doctor takes the fee. The wolf loses his teeth, but not his inclinations If I have lost the ring, yet the fingers are still here. Bachelor, a peacock; betrothed, a Bon; married, an ass! If you want to know what a ducat is worth try to borrow one. By the street By-and-by one arrives nt the house of Never. When thou seest thine house in flames approach and warm thyself. He who takes the wrong road must make his journey twice over. Do not rejoice at my grief, for when mine is old yours will be new. That which the fool does in the end the wise man does at the loginning. Abstract from a Spaniard all his good qualities and there remains a Portu­ guese. Fond of lawsuits, little wealth; fond of doctors, little health; fond of friars, little pelf. Women Should Know It. Many women suffer untold agony and misery because the nature of their diMase is not correctly understood. They have been led to believe thatwdbnb trouble or female wcakuess of some sort is responsible for the many ills that beset woman-kind. Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull ache in the buck, weakness or bearing­ down sensation, profuse or scanty supply of urine with strong odor, fre­ quent desire to pass it with scalding or burning sensation, sediment in it after standing in a bottle or common glass for twenty-four hours, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble. The above symptoms arc often attrib­ uted by the paiient herself or 0y- her physican to. female weakness <>r womb ' trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain j relief, because they are treating, not! the disease itself, but a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact, women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and blad­ der trouble and both need the same remedy. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and is easy to get at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar. To prove its wonderful merits you may have a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolute­ ly free by mail.

A Spanish soldier, marching with his company- to the wharf, tried to pall down a Cuban flag in Bomba street. He was shot at aud dangerously wound­ ed. Desperate fighting followed between Spaniards and Cubans. Lieut.

I have not seen any device that beats mine for lightening the labor of swill­ ing the hogs or transporting slop. I made mine of an old cultivator, with a pickle barrel that cost 25 cents. I first bond the Iron B. as shown In the first Illustration, at the spindip. then tit It around the barrel, then bend for the miter spindle, using the grip shown nt 1 for the hub, and the grip shown at 2 to fasten on the barrel. With this, a boy can carry 25 gallons of slop aa easily as I can carry a bucketful. This device HAXDLIXO Tub SLOP. is left nt the kitchen door, and the whole day’s slop Is put in it, and la all hauled away at once, at the same hour each day, so that the pigs are Dot squealing around the trough all the time. The trough projects through the fence, so I can dump the slop In to sixty head of bogs yd not get my clothes soiled, as shown in the second picture. The device can be Improved by cutting out a shallow curve from top of the bar­ rel and riveting on a tin spout, as shown.—J. Brinlngcr, in Ohio Farmer.

Where this Is not practiced, long, slander branches form, and these produce fruit mainly nt their outer extremities. This overloads the branches and causes them to break down even when the tree Is producing *no more fruit than It could easily carry If properly distributed. If the branches were, cut back to within two feet of the trunk they would throw out numerous fruit kpurs and produce fruit close to the irnnk and main branches where It could easily be sup­ ported. Trees handled In this way will also produce more perfect fruit. Such severe cuttlng-lSack may be done with­ out any..4n'jury whatever if performed while the tree Is dormant. Although peaches are reckoned an uncertain crop. It Is still one of the most profita­ ble fruits that can be grown In locali­ ties adapted to IL Select the finest varieties and give high culture and It will require but little fruit to give you a good money return.—American Farm Made Poultry Pay. A writer In a Western paper says: I often read In the poultry journals that It is not much work to take care of poultry. I have always found it just the reverse. Still I like It for the out­ door exercise and natural love I have for pets. I also found it very remunera­ tive. but I find there Is as great a de­ mand for that article called common sense In poultry raising as In everything else. The third year I gave poultry my attention I kept a strict account with the biddies. I had thirty-two Light Brahma hens and forty half-bloods for Hitters. In the early spring I sold nine­ ty-two sittings of eggs, twenty-two half-bloods for sitters, and raised nearly 700 chicks. I sold some for broilers and some for breeding purposes, and packed over 150 dozen eggs during the summer. I sold all the dulls Thanks­ giving. and at the end of the year the books showed a balance In my favor of $701*34. Since that time I have kept no accurate account, but am satisfied to continue until I find something better. —Farmer’s Review. We do not hear so much as we used to do about the importance of pro­ ducing enough feed on an acre to keep a cow through the year. It can Im* done by growing corn as the main f?ed. But that is not always, nor generally, eco»oniy, for If all the land Is kept In corn It must require more manure than where It can be every three or four years seeded with clover, and after al! the soil would be less fertile than after a clover seeding. Besides, more depends on the milklug character of the cows than on their number. The best dairy­ men prefer rather to reduce their herds In number, and still get as much milk and butter as formerly. This makes the labor much less, and If the lessened number of cows leaves more laud not needed to keep them. It can probably be given to other uses that will pay much better.—American Cultivator. GnosinK Weight of Stock. One of the best ways of training the eye to judge both of live and dressed weights of animals Is offered at “butch­ ering time." If the farmer has some barn scales It Is easy to secure the live weight of animals at any time. But there Is great difference tn.the amount of waste In kllllug and dressing, even among animals of the same breed. It Is this kind of knowledge that the buy-, cr learns by long practice, and unless farmers want to be cheated In selling live stock they must learn also. The boy on the farm should be encouraged to make his guess as to bow much each hog or beef would weigh, both nllvo and after It was dressed for marketing. It is knowledge that every boy on the farm should try to gain. There Is nothing better than the V-shaped trough in which to feed grain to sheep. It Is easily made, and should be set up high enough so that sheep will not put their feet Into it. Nailing a narrow board a foot and a half al»ove the trough will keep the sheep from stepping or jumping over IL Sheep will 'depn out all the grain In the bot­ tom of the V, and If they do not It should be turned over after they have eaten, and left turned until ready io feed again, so that it win not fill with snow, which musses and dirties the feed. If apples are kept In the cellar they should be placed In the coolest and moat airy part- it >« best to keep them in a shed or garret until there la danger of freezing and then put In the cellar. To keep well, apples should be kept In re­ ceptacles as air-tight as possible. Tho barrel should never be left uncovered. Open the barrel ami take out a sufflelent quantity to last a few days and then nail the cover on again. We want to ask you, farmer friend. If you are perfectly familiar with yoor whole farm? Have explored all It* acres and know what Is on the under side as well as on top? Do you know just bow deep certain lam! should be glowed and what crops are best adapt­ ed to same? If you do, then you are on the high road to prosperity. Just keep right >n. and you’E gel there.— Farmers' Guide. > �IDER WHAT THE WAR •r to Lif.

The steamship that left San Francisco last week for Honolulu i-; said to carry instructions and dispatches to th© com­ mander of the Bennington, now at Ha­ waii, directing him to proceed to Wake Island and take possession of it iu behalf of the United States. The island is unin­ habited and valueless for general pur­ poses, but it is wanted by this Govern­ ment as a cable station. A Pacific cable connecting the Philippines and Hawaii with the Uuited States is one of the first ijecessities imposed by the treaty of Paris which has so materially changed the map of the Pacific. As the American peace commission did not succeed in obtaining one of the Carolines as a cable station. Wake Island, situated in latitude 19 north, longitude east, will supply the place. The island lie* about 2.0U0 miles from Nihan. the westerumcMt of the Ha­ waiian group, and 1.3OO miles east of Guam. Being in aln»«t the direct line between the United States and its Pa­ cific posseaiuons. it is admirably adapted to the purposes of a cable station. Ajruinaldo'a Folio went Wit! Be Over- Their Peaceful Eubmiuaion In Ej The United States will force the qwuc with the Filipino*. This decision may lead to a harassing war with the natives of the Philippines. It is hbped and be­ lieved such a calamity will be averted, but it remains for the insurgents to de­ termine what the rrault will be. It is nS ported from Washington that the Presi­ dent has ordered Gen. Miller to land his troops at Iloilo. The American command­ er Is directed to be conciliatory toward the natives, but at the Mine time he is instructed to use force, if necessary, to effect his landing and establish himself in the desired camp. In other words. Gen. Miller is to act on the defensive. He will not fire a gun unless attacked by the FillDinos, but if the natives willfully shoot at his soldiers he is to administer a dose of American retribution and marksman­ ship. Gen. Miller has about 3.000 soldiers nt Hollo, and among them are men of the Fifty-ffrst Iowa infantry. Ho will also have the support of several gunboats, for Admiral Dewey notified Secretary Long of the Navy Deportment that be had sent the Concord and the Petrel to join the naval force under Col. Dyer at Iloilo. It is not known how strong a force the in­ surgents have at that point. The War Department baa information which seems, to indicate the natives have only about 8,000 stand of ^arm*. and it is assumed that fairly represents their fighting power at Iloilo. They hxfve no modern artillery, while the American force is well equipped in that respect. There is no doubt of the ability of Gen.. Miller to defeat the Fili­ pinos tn pitched battle, but he has been warned not to be the aggressor. Dis­ patches from Muniin report rumors that Aguinnldo has gone to Iloilo to take com­ mand of the insurgent force. lie has hith­ erto assumed an attitude of hostility to Amerieim authority, but advices from Gen. Otis .\p.ftjcaa pSetitl* to be­ lieve he will submit when force! Id £ liiial decision bctwfjjn peace and war, The Instructions of the President rela­ tive to the administration of affairs in the Philippine Islands, as transmitted to Gen. Otis at Manila, are comprehensive enough to fully meet present conditions as well as any contingencies that may arise. The President urges that the com­ mander of the forces of occupation shall proclaim that we come “not as invaders or conquerors, but ns friends, to protect tip; natives in their homes, in their em­ ployments and in their personal and re­ ligious rights.” After promising support and protection to those who will co-operate with the Government to give effect to these bene­ fits and purposes, the President declares that, while the military authority must be supreme until the legislation of the Unit­ ed Stales shall otherwise provide, the mu­ nicipal laws of the territory in respect to private rights and the repression of crime will remain in force; nil ports In the isl­ ands will be opened to the commerce of all friendly nations, and all goods will be ad­ mitted upon payment of "such duties as shall be in force nt the time of their im­ portation”: and the officers to administer local governmental affairs are to be se­ lected as far ns may be practicable from the inhabitants of the islands after thejbtfve taken the oath of allegiance to the United States. The instructions adequate­ ly convey the purpose of our Government in assuming control of the Philippines* Wat«on Would Succeed Dewey. Commodore Watson has applied for the comma nd of the Asiatic squadron when Admiral Dewey relinquishes it. Unless Dewey changes his mind, however, there will be no change for nearly a year. The latter officer has declined nil offer* of relief, believing he can best serve his country at Manila. Unless the law is amended, he will retire from active duty next December.

When a man gets nervous and sleepless, it meanf that the blood is not properly nour­ ishing the nerves. When his akin breaks ont with blotches and pimples and erup­ tions, it means that the akin is being fed upon the impuritjes of the blood. Almost every known disease is primarily due to improper nourishment through the blood, which is the life-stream.

A seriouM and daogvrou.H disease prevails in this country, dangerous because so deceptive. It comes on so slowly yet surely that it is often firmly Rented before we are a ware of it. The name of this disease which may be divided into three distinct stages is, First, Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back, rheumatism, lum­ bago, frequent desire to urinate, often with a burning sensation, the flow of urinate being copious or <cant with strong odor. If allowed to advance, this reaches the Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy pain in the abdomen low down between tbe navel and water passage, increasing desire to urinate, with scalding sensation in passing, small quantics being passed with ditticjilty. sometimes necessary to draw it with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will prove dan­ gerous if neglected. The Third stage is Bright's Disease. . There is comfort in knowing that Dr. Kilmer, the great kidney and bladder specialist, has discovered a Remedy famous for its marvelous cures of tbe most distressing cases and known as Dr. Kilmer s Swamp-Root. ” It is sold by all druggists.

Seth Rosebrook and Chad Stowell, youths who were arrested last September log bolding np a farmer and who were •,-nt to the Hutchinson. Kan., reforma­ tory, arc said to be responsible for the Missouri Pacific hold-up and express rob­ bery near Leeds. Mo.. Sept. 23 last. This is the robbery for which 4>’s*e James, Jr., is now under indictment in Kansas City. lK-puty Sheriff Williams, who has been working on the case for some time, claims that young Stowell has made a written confession and divulged where the booty. $1l.f)(N). is hidden in tbe woods about seventy-five miles east of Kansas City. Stowell told many details connected with the roSbery. THE TRADE SITUATION. It la One of Quiet strength—Collections Bradstreet's views the trade situation thus: ‘The situation is one of quiet, sus­ tained strength. In wholesale distributive trade annual inventories have occupied attention, and distribution in this branch is. therefore, of only seasonable propor* lions. Retail trade reflects the quieting down of the eager demand ruling before the holidays.* but ifia significant that tbe majority of the-reports received since Jan. I in this and in the wholesale brauch refer to collections as almost uniformly good. Export trade, particularly in cereals, con­ tinues jvell up to maximum figures, while reports from the new great’industries of the country are favorable. Bank clear­ ings for the week reflect exceptionally la-ary annual settlements in a total of $1,765,900,000, nearly $40,000,000 larger than ever before reported. Wheat, includ­ ing flour, shipments for the week aggre­ gate 6.8G0.268 bushels, against 6,292,625 bushels last week. Corn exports for the ■week aggregate 4.844.288 bushels, against 3.659,743 bushels last week.” DIAMOND THIEF CONFESSEF. Stole Gcjna in Toledo and Pawned The mystery of several diamond thefts was made clear nt Columbus, Ohio, by the confession of James Lynch, colored, and tbe arrest of James Nelson, formerly coachman for E. L. Hinman, a wealthy Columbus citizen. Lynch was arrested several days ago, charged with the theft of an overcoat. He made disclosures to the effect that he was concerned in the robbery of the residence of George F. Pomeroy of Toledo, where diamonds val­ ued at $6,000 wore secured, Lynch con­ fessed also to the Hinman robbery. He claims that after the Toledo robbery he went to Chicago with most of the pnqierty on his person. He says he pawned two diamonds May 18, after he hail been iden­ tified by James Dunigan. n tailor. Thou­ sands of dollars* worth of property was recovered. The East Liverpool-Wellsville, O.. street railway was completely tied np the other day. Trouble had been brewing for sev­ eral days between the employes of the road nnd the management. It originated in the discharge of Motorman John Stodghill, oue of the oldest men on the road. The men claim thnt he was discharged on account of bis association with uuiou af­ fairs. • Life Lost on the Fast Mail. The fiAt accident to the Union Pacific . fast mail occurred when the train was running at a high rate of speed, thirty miles west of Laramie, Wyo. The side rod of the engine broke, tearing away the cab nnd tearing up the track for a consid­ erable distance before the train came to a stop. Engineer Mark Wright of Laramir was struck by the rod and instantly killed. Wa* Killed by Robtfer*. The night telegraph operator of the Philadelphia and Rending Railroad at Bingen.

The detnifa of the contract have-not .been officially published, but United States Consul General De Leon nt Guayaquil has supplied tbe State Depart­ ment with much data respecting the enter­ prise, which, :n his opinion, is likely to lead to the complete reformation of the country. As an incident to the execution of the contract the company has found it necessary or expedient to buy the entire national debt of Ecuador, amounting to $3,500,000, the corporation assuming lia­ bility toy about $1,500,000 to the bond­ holder*. The company has also received a concession to establish a bank in Guay­ aquil with a capital of $1,000,000. which ia to bo in operation by next March. MR. BRICE LEAVES NO WILL.

QENERAL CUT TO BE MADE IN GENERAL CU r TO BE made in THE BEKVIOE. Secretary Long Order* the Retirement of Nearly 5,(MX) Officer*, Beamen and Collapuc at Columbus, Ohio. Secretary Long has issued orders look­ ing to the retirement of nearly 5.1)00 sea­ men and officers. He takes this step after consultation with tbe President in order to reduce the naval service to tbe limit of a peace basis, which the ratification of tho treaty will render necessary. All offi­ cers and men added to the marine corps during the war are to be mustered out of service. The full enlisted force of the marine corps allowed by law is 4,700. which for the war was Increased by about 2.000 additional men. These are now to be discharged. It will be impracticable to retire men from Admiral Dewey’s squad­ ron. so the subtractions will have to be made from the home force and will, it is said, result in the retirement of several vessels iu the Atlantic squadron. It will also delay the establishment of tbe Asiatic nnd European stations, which the depart­ ment has l>een contemplating. Col. Hay­ wood says that 6.000 men will be needed for guard duty at Guam, Cavite and oth­ er islands taken from Spain. Secretary Long is looking for final relief to the naval personnel bill. _____ SOLDIERS IN AN ACCIDENT. Feriou* Mishap to Soldier* of Fourth Ohio Volunteer*.

Bixty-seveu pages were completed, and the bill was made a continuing order until disposed of, not. however, to interfere with appropriation bills or other special orders. The blind chaplain in his invoca­ tion referred feelingly to the critical ill­ ness of Mr. Dingley, the floor leader, and prayed for his syr-edy recovery. When the Alaska bill was taken up Mr. Moody <Rep.. Mass.) said that ns the bill pro­ posed a code for the government ot a de•pcndency of the United States, it might be wAll to consider whether wc were able to deal Intelligently with dependencies generally. He then launched a bitter at­ tack upon that section of tbe bill which repealed all existing laws relating to the sale of liquor in the district of Alaska, and made it only unlawful to sell liquor to Indians. It wns a monstrous proposi­ tion. he declared. Virtually it meant freerum in Alaska—the sale of liqnor without license, without regulation and wi(jiout restriction of any kind. An nmeodment was adopted giving a jnry in case a ver- ' diet of guilty of murder in the first degree was returned discretionary power to in­ flict capital punishment. When the sec­ tion was reached prohibiting the Kale or gift of intoxicating liquors to Indians Mr. Moody offered an amendment continuing the existing law, which prohibits the im­ portation of Hqnar.<.oxcept for medicinal, mechanical and like purposes. Mr. Tongue (Repw Ore.) said It was utterly impossi­ ble to’enforce the present law. The in­ habitants of this district will not uphold ot5cers of the law and liquor is openly sold. Several minor amendment* were adopted. The Speaker then laid before the House the Senate memorial resolu­ tion* regarding Senator Morrill. A* a further mark of respect tbe House ad­ journed. Little business except that of a routine character was transacted by the Senate on Thursday. A resolution offered by Mr. Hoar of Massachnsetts directing the Com­ mittee on Foreign Relations to report to the Senate whether the treaty of Paris makes any provision for the claims of citi­ zens of the United States against Spain which were in existence before the present war, and the status of such claims after the ratification of the treaty, was adopted. Mr. Caffery of Louisiana continued and practically concluded bls speech begun be­ fore the holiday.recess in opimsition to the pending Nicaragua cnnhl bill. Bills were passed to ratify agreements with the Lower Brule and Rose Bud reservation Indians, to grant California 5 per cent of the net proceeds of cash sales of publie lands in the Stnte and classifying dcrk» in first and second class |>ostotfices. The Judiciary Committee’had the right of wayin‘the House for three hours nnd tbe fol­ lowing bills of minor importance reported from the committee were passed: To pro­ vide additional circuit judges for tbe thin! nnd sixth judicial districts: to regulate the terms of court in the eastern district of Tennessee nnd the district of Butte, Mont.: to retire Cassius S. Foster, United States district judge of Kansas; to amend the Revised Statutes so as to allow the United States five peremptory challenges in criminal cases: to permit ship owner* to file indemnity bonds; to’allow legally appointed guardians of iusnue l»er*ons to prosecute patent claims aud to releasethe International Cotton Press Compand­ or New Orleans from liability for $3,489 of internal revenue taxes Immediately after the Senate convened on Friday the resolution offered the previ­ ous .lay by Mr. Hoar nf Massachusetts, calling on the President for information as to the instructions of the coinniboionera who negotiated the treaty ot Paris, to­ gether with nil corresjsmden'ce and re­ ports relating to their work, was laid be­ fore the Senate. Chairman Davis, one of the commissioners, desire*] J hat it be re­ ferred to the Fuieign Relations Commit­ tee. but Mr. Hoar insisted thnt the Sen­ ate had ns much right to such information, as the members of the Foreign Relation* Committee, and that the President should determine whether the Senate should have it. The resolution was adopted in -x secret session. In support of the rcsolu- -' tion offered by Mr. Vest of Missouri, in opposition to expansion. Mr. Caffery ot Louisiana delivered an extended speech. The anti-civil service refortuers scored a victory in the House. The legislative, executive and judicial npiiropriation bill was taken up for consideration and when the appropriation for the civil service com­ mission was reached Mr. Evans (Rep.) ot Kentucky made a motion tu strike it out. The motion to strike out carried by a narrow majority, 67 to 01. During gen­ eral debate on the bill Mr. Swafcson (Dem.) of Virginia delivered a speech on anti-imperialism. On Saturday the House, in committee ot the whole, resumed consideration of thebill making appropriation for the legisla­ tive, executive ami judicial expense* ot the Government for the year ending June 30, 1900. On a point of order made by Mr. Dockery (Dem., Mo.) a paragraph ap­ propriating $12,006 for making a serie* ot charts of the coasts and harbors of the Philippines was stricken from the bill. In the Senate the District of Columbia ap­ propriation bill was taken up. A* passed by th* House, the bill appropriated $«,300,000. as against estimates of $9,230.­ 000. As reported by the Senate Commit­ tee on Appropriation*, it npprupriat** $7,­ 251,905. The appropriation for the cur­ rent fiscal year was $6,426,880.

The Supreme Court has denied the mandamus asked for tho Detroit, Grand Rapids and Western nnd Chicago and West Michigan. Railway companies to compel Commissioner Wessdlus to change the vsessment made against them for tho current year. This is a great victory for the administration, as it means a decided Increase in the revenue of the State from railroad companies. The most important question involved was whether in comput­ ing taxes, tracks over which the company runs its trains, but which it docs not con­ trol, should be computed as a part of the company's mileage. The court concludes that it should not be so computed, saying that If the company's contention to the contrary wet* to prevail, two connecting roads of equal mileage might be running trains at intervals over the whole lengthof the two roads, by mutual consent, and each be said to be operating n road the entire length of both lines, thereby ma­ terially reducing the rate of taxation. Expense of Michigan Troops. Quartermaster General W. L. White has submitted his report of the operations of his department in connection with the raising and equipment, of the Michigan volunteers for the Spanish-American war to Gov. Pingree, commandcr-in-chief. It covers the period from April 28 to Dec. 81, 1898. The total receipts were $512,­ .089.93, and disbursements $506,030.83. Of this subsistence took $76,816.92; ord­ nance, clothing, etc., $262,462.40; pay of officers and mpn, $77,045.50; transporta­ tion, $30,227.62; care of sick soldiers, $14,200.90, »and funeral expenses, $3,­ 388.89. v . Work ou Mine to Be Resumed. After a period of enforced idleness of more than five years’ duration the Iron River mine, at Stambaugh, ia to be placed in operation next spring. A company is now being organised in the East for this purpose, and there is little doubt that the property will be worked to its full ca­ pacity. The mine was formerly controll­ ed by Ferdinand Schlesinger, the greet mining king, who met reverses some years ago. The Florence River Iron Mining Company operated it until that company went Into a receivership. Tbe coroner’s jury appointed to investi­ gate the deaths of Mrs. M. J. Robb. Wal­ ter Lee and Robert and Mildred Yerex, killed at a Pontiac, Oxford aud Northern railroad crossing at Lapeer, has rendered a verdict that the victims came to their death by being struck by the engine, but attaching no negligence to the company. The testimony of both engineer and fire­ man that they had whistled before reach­ ing the crossing was corroborated by oth­ er witnesses. Dog Return# from Klondike. Jerry Murphy, a well-known miner, liv­ ing in Calumet, sold his big St. Bernard ■’Barney" to a Klondike party eighteen months ago. The dog was taken to Daw­ son City and performed good service. The other night Barney reappeared nt Mur­ phy’s home in Calumet. How he succeed­ ed in returning from Alaska is a mystery. . Fix Men Were Killed. A disaster occurred in one of the shafts of the Lake Superior Iron Company at Ishpeming, when a cage struck an ob­ struction and six Finnish trammers were plunged down the incline, falling 500 feet. They were instantly killed, and three oth­ ers. who clung to the cage, were slightly injured. . George Alderman, aged 14 years, was run down by a snow plow on the F. i P. M. Railway one mile south of Fountain and seriously injured. He will recover. He wns walking on the track, and a blind­ ing snow storm prevented him from seeing the snow plow. State News in Brief.

The »(pry of a baby asleep in a cradle of the roof of a church, baby and cradle having been placed there without bands, looks like a piece of ex­ travagant fiction, but there Is an old ghurcb In London that has such a story connected with .it, nnd moreover, the story is believed to be true. The church is the Church of All Hallows, Bark­ ing, and the story Is told In Sir Walter Besant’s "London." It happened that In the last month of the reign of Charles I. a certain ship­ chandler was foolish enough to busy himself over a barrel of gunpowder with a llgljted candle in his hand. He paid the price of his folly. A spark feH Into the gunpowder, and the place was blown up. The trouble was that the man who did the mischief was not the only one to perish. Fifty houses were wrecked, aud the number of people who were killed was not known. In one bouse among tbe fifty a mother had put her baby Into its cradle to sleep before the explosion occurred. What became of the mother no one ever knew; but what became of the baby was very widely known. The next morning there was found upon the leads of the church a young child in a cradle, baby and cradle being mtlrejy uninjured py the explosion thnt bad lifted both to such a giddy height. It was never learned who tbe child was, but she was adopted by a gentle­ man of the parish, and grew to woman­ hood. She must surely all her life have had a peculiar interest In that church.

Hirsch of Chicago asserted in a recent sermon that thousands of young men in the army were poisoned by chemically preserved beef. A subpoena will be issued and Dr. Hirsch will be asked to prove his statement if such statement was made by him. A Washington minister declared from his pulpit tbit thousands of soldiers had died of starvation, nnd when called before the committee admitted he did not have personal knowledge of a single case. A New York clergyman in a published sermon asserted that the army surgeons at Montauk Point were in the habit of reeling through the hospitals drunk with whisky begged for their patients from tbe Red Cross stores. When called to ac­ count he confessed that he hnd no per­ sonal knowledge, but had read in the newspapers that a contract surgeon bad been dismissed for drunkenness. A general outline of the course on which, the United States Government may be ex­ pected to proceed in establishing military rule in the Philippines is presented In the President’s instruction#, forwarded to Gen. Otis through the regular channels of the War Department. The instructions recognise the fact that military govern­ ment necessarily must be temporary and provisional, and they oppose no bar to the action of Congress, in case Congress should wish ultimately to relinquish con­ trol of the new possessions. They do, however, provide for an occupation of in­ definite length, and both in their general tone and" in the announcement to the Fili­ pinos that “the mission of tbe United States is one of benevolent assimilation" there is tbe hint that the President antici­ pate# an occupation which in the end must make the tic between the nation and its dependencies too strong to be broken. Aged statesmen in Washington are in a panic over the devastation wrought by grip. Tho malady is making awful havoc among old men this winter, and several Senators and Representatives in Congress have been frightened within an inch of their lives by grip attacks. A sneeae is enough to keep an ancient statesman in­ doors, and u real hard visitation of aches, pain and cold in the head puts him to bed for a fortnight. There is. plenty of sea­ soned material for grip to work on in Con­ gress, especially in the upper branch, where thirty-six out of eighty-nine Sen­ ators are 00 years old or over. Twenty Senators orc 65 years or over and twelve nre 70 years of age or older. In the House forty-five Representatives out of 357 are above 00 years and twenty-two above 85. It will be seen from this that the Senate has a vastly greater percentage old men than the House. Since the retirement of Senator Brice Washington has had no royal entertainer among its list of Senators or Representa­ tives. Senator Brice spent $150,000 a. year in maintaining a princely establish­ ment. There are men in Congress now as rich as Brice was. but they do not run to lavish display. Senator Perkins of California, Senator Jones of Nevada, Sen­ ator Proctor of Vermont, Senator Wet­ more of Rhode Island, Senator Hanna of Ohio and Vice-Preaident Hobart rank high up in the millionaire class, but none of them, with the exception of Mr. Ho­ bart, is a great entertainer. Senator El­ kins of West Virginia. Senator Fairbank of Indiana and Senator Foraker of Ohio probably do more in that line this winter than any other members of Congress. The majority of Senators are poor raeu. Among tbe Senators whose terms ex­ pire the 4th of next March and who wilt be re-elected without opposition, is Cock­ rell of Missouri. Senator Cockrell has a. wonderful hold on the people of his State. He is not a man of signal ability, but h» is remarkably obliging. He will work ail day and get up any time in the night to favor a constituent, regardless of his poli­ tics. He has a happy faculty of remem­ bering names and family histories and can go into any section of Missouri and call off the name# of members of the fam­ ilies of tbe people he may not have seen In twenty years. This endears him to the voters iu tbe back districts and makes every man he meets feel as if he were the Senator’s special friend. Fmcltera on n Strike. Five hundred men employed In the con­ verters of the Anaconda Smelting Com­ pany at Anaconda, Mont., have gone on strike and the plant, which ta the largest In the world, has been compelled to shut down. Secretary Long estimates the sum need­ ed fnr the construction of the fifteen new warships. recommended by him in bis re­ port to Congress, to be $14,1G8,4<X) for armor and armament and $38,100,800 for construction and engineering.

SEVERELY INJURED KNOCKED INTO THE WATER, �TljrXrwS. LEN. W. FEIGHNER, Publisher. NASHVILLE, • • MICHIGAN. PRICES ARE STRONG MOST NOTABLE FEATU TRADE SITUATION. rltory to Settle in Mexico. Largc Grain Shipment*. Bradstreet’s says: "Perhaps the most notable feature of the trade situation nt present i* the strength of prices of nearly all staph*, but particularly of cereals, cot­ ton. iron and steel, which have apparently ■gained further ground since the firx-t of the year. Explanation of thif strength of wheat is found in the good cash demand. This cereal and corn are in exceptionally good demand abroad, judging from the large exports reported. Among other ru­ mors of comsdidation is the story from the Pacific coast of a proposed consolida­ tion of salmon canneries. Tin plates show the effect of the consolidation iu this line in uu advance. Wheat (including flour) shipments for the week aggregate 5.047,711 bushels, against 6,680.263 bushels last w<ek, 5,229.517 bushels in the correspond­ ing week of 18U8, 3.49S.154 bushels in 1897. 3.202,124 bushels in 1896 and 3.54M.459 buNbels in 1895. Since July 1 the export* of wheat aggregate 134,036,­ 048 bushels, against 137,742,801 bushels in the Hnnjt period in 1897. Corn exports for the week aggregate 3,297,072 bushels, against 4,844.288 bushels last week, 4,(141,730 bushel* in the week a year ago. 3,758,281 bushels in 1897, 3,336.017 bush­ el* in 18IKJ au«l 001.257 bushels in 1895. Since July 1 corn exi*orts aggregate 89,­ 1191,999 bushel*, against 88,444,486 bush­ els during tjje same period a year ago.” SOLDIERS MUST BUY CLOTHING. Some day* ago word was received by the Governor of Nebraska that about 200 ns-n discharged from the First Nebraska would arrive at San Francisco on their way home, and requesting that they.be provided with warm clothing, as they had with them only the light suits necesoary for the tropical climate of the Phil­ ippines. Gen. Barry asked Congressman Stark to visit the War Department and see what cudld l>e done in the matter. A message has been received from Mr. Stark ■indicating that the men will have to look after the clothing matter themselves when they reach this country. The many Nebraska families that hnve sons and fathers among the returning soldiers are much excited over the situation. INDIAN8 MOVING TO MEXICO. Qnit Their Territory. W. J. Lyons of Sonora, Mexico, has gone to Indian Territory to escort the Delaware Indians and n [xirtiou of the Cn*eks and Cherokees to Mexico, where they will settle on land* conceded to them by the Government of that republic. All the Delaware* will settle in Souora, the Creeks go to Guadalajara and the Cherohee$ «<• Durango. On the arrival of the colonists at their destinations four repre­ sentative men of each tribe will accom­ pany Lyons to the City of Mexico for a visit to President Dinz, where the Indians will be welcomed with appropriate cere­ monies and receive the concessions ac­ corded them. WHEAT ROBBERY STOPPED. Conspiracy to Steal Twenty-one Car* of Grain Tjctectcd. A bold attempt to steal twenty-one cars of wheat was nipped by clever detective work and prompt and decisive action on the part of officials of the Chicago, Mil­ waukee and St. Paul Railroad. The grain was mostly the property of the S. Y. Hyde Elevator Company and the W. W. Cargill Company of La Crosse. Wi*„ and the car* won- diverted from their original consignees by the substitution of bogus way bills. Just about the time the deal was nearing consummation the swindlers weakened. Many Klondike!* have been killed and at least three steamers wrecked by ice jams in the Yukon river below Dawson. A letter received from Fort Yukon statin that John Dobbins of Victoria and Mr. and Mrs. Horsfall of Seattle perished ■while cn route from Fort Yukon to a point thirty miles l»elow there. The same let­ ter states that three steamers are stuck on the bars and are partially wrecked l>cIwevn Fort Yukon and Circle City. They •re the Robert Kerr, Seattle and Tacoma. All throe will be total wrecks. The Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern fast mail No. 4 was bowling along at a terrific rate of speed when n broken rail threw three rear coaches from the track into the ditch. Two coaches and a sleep­ er were wrecked, being completely over­ turned into the ditch. The accident oc­ curred about two miles west of Noble, HL Nearly every passenger on the train was more or les* injured, although there were fatalities. The injured passengers, about fifteen in all, were removed to Olney. III. Diseased Chicken Kill* Four. Four children of George Laing of To­ ledo have died from eating difH*a*<*d chick­ en meat. It is supposed the chickens were affected with cholera. Thread Trust J« Formed. An international thread trust, which •will take iu the principal mills of the Unit­ ed Blates and England, is reported to be nearly formed. Four prisoner* escaped from the Starke County workhouse at Canton, Ohio. They removed twenty bricks from the wall, making an opening about two feet square. After removing the bricks a sheet was tied to the heating pipes and the prison­ ers dropped to the ground.

The fiat ot dead la aa tollowe: Mary Miller. Thomas Miller. Albeat Wilson, Walter Brown. The train dashed, into the groUF ot unfortunates at full speed and the bodies were terribly mangled. After being gathered up, the remains were taken in qjmrge by friends. On account of a freight wreck near Lari­ mer it was necessary to switch the west­ bound passenger trains to the east-bound track. The express was running at full speed and the engineer blew the whistle, but the alarm was unheard, as the victims .evidently thought the train would run on the west-bound track as usual. They were all residents of Larimer. MEXICO’S CREDIT IS GOOD. Eight Million Dollar I**ue of Bonds Sub*cribdd In Full Abroad. . Hugo Scherer & Co., banker* ot Mexico City, have received a cablegram from Frankfort-on-the-Main, Germany, an-, nouncing that the Deutsche Efferten und Wechael Bank of Frankfort ha* placed $8,112,400 Mexican 5 per cent redeemable international bonds of the third serie*, the amount having been subscribed in full. Subscriptions had t»een opened sim­ ultaneously in Frankfort, Hanover, Carlsruhe, Ix-ipidc,- Dresden. Munich, Stras­ burg and Stuttgart, and the fact that the larger portion of the issue hurt been taken for private investment by conservative German capitalist* is interpreted as indi­ cating an uncommonly strong confidence abroad in the financial stability -of the Mexican Government. I END OF AN ARIZONA COPPER ! BOOM, i I I j In Fifteen Year* Stockholder* Put Up Loat—Robber of n MiasaiMippi Po*toffice I* Captured. A dispatch from Gloucester. Maas., says: “A copper boom that burst in Clif­ ton, Graham County, Ariz., has caused a loss of .$250,000 to the stockholders in this city. About fifteen year* ago a com­ pany was formed here to work nine claims In CHfton. The mines were examined by a committee of local men and experts, who reported that they were fabulously rich, and the stock was eagerly subscrib­ ed, many of the stockholders taking as large blocks as $30,000. After awhile dissension* crept Into the company, and two factions sprang np among the stock­ holders. Under the mining laws of Ari­ zona. to hold a claim it must be worked to the amount of $100 eac^ year. Last year, when the call for assessments to hold -the property was made, but one stockholder responded. He put up enough money to hold three claim*, and the re­ maining six claim* were jumped by Ari­ zona miners. This year the remaining three claims were allowed to lapse and were also jumped by Arizona miners. This is the end jot the $250,000 subscribed by the stockholder*. The mine* are said to be profitableJf worked, and dissension among the stockholder* is given a* the cause of the collapse of the venture.” TOBACCO SYNDICATE FORMED. BATTLES A HIGHWAYMAN. Tailor Mortally Wounded on John J, Lahiv, a well-known tnilor at St. Louis, was mortally wounded in a desperate street encounter with a man who. he says, attempted to hold him up. Lahiv fought a running fight with the highwayman for six blocks, each man shooting as fast as he was able. The po­ lice are bylined to look Upon the affair as an assassination, and advance the the­ ory that the tailor’s assailant wn* a man who harbored n grudge. Lahiv is 35 years old, married and has one child. He was not robbed. His assailant escaped. Lively Work of Robber*. Two bandits kidnaped a policeman, took him a mile into the dark woods, bound him to a tree, gagged him and then re­ turned to town and held , up nine guests in a prominent hotel In the principal busi­ ness street of Fort Scott, Kan., the other morning. A mob of railroad men has been seeking them to avenge an assault made upon Ed R. Meade, a locomotive engineer, whom the robbers robbed and shot. Two others were wounded during the pursuit of the outlaw*. George Young was mistaken for one of the fugi­ tives and was shot through the arm. He then fell over a dump and broke hi* shoul­ der. Later two men who had entered a box car of a south-bound freight were taken prisoners. The car was set out at Pawnee and guarded untH officers arrived. Robert Nelson, a wealthy Montana ranchman, killed Harry Bell on Pumpkin creek, *ixty-five miles north of Miles City, Minn., the other afternoon. Bell and Mrs. Robert Nelson were riding on horseback along the creek, when they met Nelson, who, after riding past them a few roils, wheeled his horse and rode at a gal­ lop back to. the couple, firing at Bell as he came abrvnxt. The ball pierced Bell's body near the heart, killing him instantly. Bell was a young man of considerable prominence in the neighborhood where he lived. Nels m had not lived with his wife for the past six months. St. Louis Store Damaged. Fire in the six-story brick building nt St. Louis owneG by the Ames estate and used by the Albert Acruman Mercantile Company as a wholesale department goods Btore, caused heavy loss. The fire originated in the fifth story and burned up through the roof and down into the second story, badly damaging the build­ ing. The contents of the sixth story were nearly destroyed and those in the stories below badly damaged. Experience of Shipwrecked Men. Dr. S. D. Phillips, a young dentist, for­ merly of Buffalo. N. Y., has just reached Seattle from Fort Simpson, B. C., with a story of a fearful experience as a cast­ away ou Tracy Island, in Dixon’s en­ trance. Alaska. After being shipwrecked he and two companions subsisted on mus­ sel* for seven days, when they finally be­ came delirious. In this condition they were foun'’ by Indians, who furnished them food. Banker* Combing to JJpj the Year** CroJ» of ffavana Product, Plans have been made to buy the whole of this year’s! crop of Havana tobacco. A syndicate of twenty-one bankers, includ­ ing several that do an international busi­ ness,'has been formed in New York for the purpose. Its representatives have started for Cuba. The immediate scheme Is to control the market for Havana to­ bacco, but the whole plan involve* the purchase of every Cuban tobacco planta­ tion that can be bought nt reasonable figures. The large sum of money requir­ ed for such an operation has l»een sub­ scribed. The managers of the syndicate say that If they succeed in buying the lands as well us the crop thej- will make bids for several factories which manu­ facture cigars from Havana tobacco. DESPERATE ROBBER CAUGHT. Thrasher Meade Captured After Robbing a PoatofRce. The postoffice at Enterprise, Miss., was blown open with dynamite, and the per­ petrator escaped after obtaining a con­ siderable amount of stamp*, money or­ ders and cash. It is now supposed that the robbery was committed by Thrasher Meade, one of the most desperate crimi­ nal* in the country. Meade wa* arrested in Mobile and taken to Enterprise after a desperate fight with the officer*. A large quantity of postage stamps, blank money orders and $1,138 in cash stolen from the safe at the Enterprise jmstofficv were re­ covered. Rhipper Muat Pay for the 'tarop.

Crawford, met Attor­ ney General Monnett at Columbus, Ohio, and a settlement of the suit of ouster re­ cently filed in the,Supreme Court was ar­ ranged, under which the proceedings ore expected to be dropped. The company compiled with the first and second clauses In the action by paying into the State treasury a fee of $1,100 for the privilege of doing business in the State. President Crawford assured the Attorney General that If the company’s mode of doing busi­ ness was in violation of the Ohio trust laws it would modify the system *o as to comply. This will satisfy the remaining clause in Mr. Monnctt’s action. GEN. GOMEZ IMPRESSES LES­ SONS ON CUBANS. Against Spaniard*—All Must Now Join in Establishing a Republic­ Output of Precious Metal*. Gomez Accept* Spanish Invitation. Both the Spanish and Cuban classes are giving great importance to the recent actions of Gen. Gomez. Particulars hnve been’ received in Havana of his recent utterance* at Remcdio* and Caibarieiu At the latter place he and bls staff-were invited to a breakfast given by the Span­ ish colony. This Spanish colony is an organization of Spaniards all over the Inl­ and. which sprung up almost spontane­ ously a few weeks before the Spanish sovereignty ended. Gen. Gomez had a twofold purpose in accepting the invita­ tion, as he wanted to reassure the Span­ ish resident* in Cuba that his promises, made <1 tiring the insurrection. wou!<l be kept, and also wanted to impress on his insurgent followers that they must bury their animosities. At .this dinner of the Spanish colony Gen. Gomez repeated that he hud made war against Spain and not against the Spaniards, and that all classes should work together to secure paynien) of insurgent troops and the establishment of a Cuban republic. The American offi­ cials stationed at Cniburien were invited by the Spanish colony to assist in the re­ ception To Gomez and accepted. All the newspapers attach extraordinary signifi­ cance to Gomez’s utterances. The lead­ ing Cuban paper* fell into line and radi­ cal sheets, which have been advising a boycott of the Spaniards,' moderate their violence. Purchaser* of the Alton.

In the Senate on Monday Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts made a strong speech against territorial expansion- Mr. Platt of New York replied. The Nicaragua Canal bill was then taken up and Mr. Caffery continued bi* speech in opposition U> it Messrs. Bacon. Money and Chilton engaged Id a general discussion of the binding power of treaties In general. The House reversed the decfaifon of the com­ mittee of the whole lust Friday, when the appropriation for the support of the eivil service commission was stricken out ot the legislative, executive and judicial ap­ propriation bill. The Hous? by sjiecial orde> decked to proceed with the consid­ eration of the naval personnel bill os soon as the bill for the codification of the law* of Alaska was out of the way. About seventy additional page* of the latter bill were covered. Senator Mason of Illinois occupied the attention of the Senate for nearly an hour and a half on Tncaday with n *|>eecb in support of his resolution declaring that the United States will never attempt to govern the people of any country without their consent. Mr. Turley was then rec­ ognized to spenk on the Nicaragua canal bill. He announced himself a« nn advo­ cate of the canal, but said he was opposed to the pending bill. At the conclusion ot Mr. Turley’# speech a bill wa* passed di­ recting the Pre*ldent lo ap[x>int Paymas­ ter General T. H. Stanton n major gen­ eral and retire him nt that grade. The House devoted its u.nditlded attention to the bill for the codification of the criminal, laws of Alaska, and when adjotirnmentwaa had al! but ten pages of the bill had) been disposed of. 4 In the Senate on Wednesday a sharp debate was precipitated by ’Mr. Allen (Neb.) by some remark* he made upon n resolution he had introduced. Mr. Hoar (Moss.) and Mr. Gray (Del.) were drawn into it. The resolution stated that any aggressive action by army or navy on the part of the United States against the Philippines would be an act of war un­ warranted on the port of the President and the exercise of constitutional i<owers vested exclusively in Congress. Mr. For­ aker of Ohio was recognized after n short debate and proceeded to deliver his set speech on the general question of the pow­ er to extend our territory. At 3:10 p. m. the Senate, on motion of Mr. Dnvi*. the chairman of the Foreign Relations Com­ mittee and in charge of the treaty of pence, went into executive session. Sen­ ator Davis reported the pence treaty and moved that the treaty and the proceedings of the peace commission be made public. Tin's motion led to debate. The discusslot* was brief, however, and the motion to re­ move the injunction of secrecy prevailed without division. The House completed and panned the bill for the codification ot the criminal law* of Alaska. • The supporters and opponents of the pence treaty in the Senate had their first contest over that document on Thursday in executive session. The debate was upon a motion by Senator Berry to con­ sider the resolution of ratification in open session. The discussion continued from t* .few minutes past 1 o’clock until about 5» when the Senate adjourned for the day, without reaching n vote.. There were no set spe.xlies in the usual acceptance of that phrase. It wns a runnlng^lehate, in which Senators Berry, White, Hale, Hoar. Vest and others in opposition to the treaty met Senators Davis. Frye. Teller, Gray and others in advocacy of if. The House pnssed the diplomatic nnd consu­ lar appropriation bill without amend­ ment. During the general debate two set speeches were made against imperialism by Messrs. Carmack and Gaine* of Ten­ nessee. The diplomatic and consular is the sixth of the regular appropriation bill*, to pass the House. The bill as passed carries $1, <05,533. A bill was passed au­ thorizing the Little River Railroad Com­ pany to construct a railroad through the-, Choctaw and Chickasaw Indian reserva­ tions. In the Senate on Friday Mr. McLauri* (Dem.) of South Carolina made a strong appeal in n carefully prepared speech against a policy of expansion by this na­ tion. Mr. Sullivan (Dem.) of Mississippi and Mr. Pasco (Dem.) of Florida dis­ cussed the pending Nicaragua canal bill, the former supporting it and the latter op­ posing it. The Indian appropriation bill was taken up. hut it* consideration Wa* not concluded before the hour of adjourn­ ment The House entered upon the con­ sideration of the naval personnel bill. Thespeeches on the bill were filled with glow­ ing allusions to the glories of naval vic­ tories in the late war. The bill was sup. ported by Messrs. Foss (Rep.) ut Illinois, Dayton (Rep.) of West Virginia. Berry (Dem.) of Kentucky, Driggs (Dem.) of New York and Dinsmore (Dem.) of Ar­ kansas, and was opposed by Messrs, Lowe (Rep.) of New York and Simpson (Pop.) of Kansas. The session of the Senate wo* brief on Saturday, early adjournment being taken out of respect to the memory of Congress­ man Dingley. A resolution asking inde­ pendence for the Philippine Islanders, in­ troduced by Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts, was put over. The resolution of Mr. Al­ ien for the appointment of a committee of five Senator* to investigate the conduct of the late war wa* then laid before the Sen­ ate, and Mr. Alien made a speech in ad­ vocacy of it.

There Is only a certain amount of butter ami milk to be deriv­ ed from a bushel of grain, aud there Is no more reason for^feedlug that bushel to three cows instead of to one tlian to use three horses to do the work of one. If one cow can produce all the butter in a bushel of grain it is cer­ tainly expensive to feed three cows, and thereby add to the expense of food, labor and shelter. Breed Is the most ImpoKtant factor in stock raising, be­ cause It enables the farmer to use la­ bor-saving animals—laltor saving l>e•ause they reduce his lalior and also give him an increased product. . l>re*«ing Fowl*.

Not only do the French poul­ terers know how to stuff the fowls to get a plumper carcass, but they whiten and mold nnd manipulate the fowl af­ ter killing until It looks almost good enough to be eaten without further preparation.

Judge Baker held that the building of the town wm within the scope of the incorporation, inasmuch as the town was built for the employes of the company. Defeated in fnpreme Coart. The following October the case was ar­ gued before the Supreme Court. Not un­ til two years later—OcL 24. 1897—did the court hand down its decision, reversing Judge Baker and sustaining the Attorney General’s position. Pullman is situated on the west bank of the Calumet lake. The town is built on land belouging to the originally dis­ tinct corporations known as the Pullman Land Association and Pullman’s Palace Car Company. The first excavations were made on May 26, 1880. Within two months construction had begun aud the foundations of the houses that were afterward to furnish homes for the em­ ployes of the “model town” were laid. Five hundred men were employed iu the preliminarr work. Within five month* their number was increased to 2,000. The Hotel Florence was the last building of the many hundreds to be erected.

FBIOHUBB, PUBLISHER. FRIDAY, JANUARY 20. 1899. PROFITABLE PUBLICITY. Various Advertising Methods—How to Make Them Useful. The newspaper and magazine are, . ati a matter of course, the most val­ uable and legitimate channels for ad­ vertising, but in connection therewith may be used many and divers ad£001* with a oorreeponding increase the volume of business. I can only mention two or three ideas here, and will endeavor to make them so plain that anyone may adapt them to his own particular needs. I will premise by saying that in no way do these ideas supercede or take precedence of the newspaper, but should be suboi dinate to and governed" by the adv. appearing currently. First, let us talk of “booklets,” and circulars. For certain classes of mei chandise, a booklet may be made one of the best trade-winners. They should be printed on attractive paper—for most cases I would select a tinted piper of a pleasing, quiet color, and the printer should be allowed to give full play to his most artistic ideas in unique display and the use of colored inks. He will know best, of course, what type and inks will harmonize and bring out results in the best manner. The size and shape is an important feature. I have usually found that a booklet in the form of a diamond, or else oblong, about 2ix8 inches in size attracts thfgmost attention.:.Anv shape, however, aside from the oldestablished sizes will do. The main point is to get out of the rut. Nowt we will suppose 1 am a boot and shoe merchant, and I start out to get up a booklet setting forth the mer­ its of my stock. The first thing to do is to secure an attractive title for the first page—something not misleading, but a word or two which will arouse sufficient curiosity to cause the public to read what I have to say on the in­ side. As I wish to sell boots and shoes, I think, perhaps, all I should say on the cover would be displayed fast about as shown in the lower left hand corner. Nothing else on cover. tbe tale of a Corti • I see that, having gone su far, it will be necessary, in order to give a correct idea of an advertising book­ let. I must give the matter for the balance, in full, which I will do, as follows: Page 2. “Corns ache, do they ? And after you’ve been on your feet all day, you feel as if you’d like some one to swap understandings with. you. Page 3. Of course, before shoe mak­ ing became a science, we had to put up with the ach­ ing corns and tired feet. Butwith the advanced meth­ ods, as the little boy says, we “don’t have to.” Page 4. Suppose you’d like to know what we’re driving at. Well, we have had this little book printed “solely” to inform you about our “soles,” and to tell you that our shoes are made to fit feet, avoid corns and relieve the man. woman or child who is com­ pelled to stand a great por­ tion of time. Page 5. There are other points about our shoes. One Is. they don’t wear out too quickly—your money's worth in wear. They don*t Ejt out of shape—keep stylh. They don’t cost too much for the value in ’em. They range in style and price to suit any taste and any purse. They are al­ ways the “latest thing in foot gaar.” The above is sufflcie&t to give an idea of what a catchy booklet should be like. Pages 6, T, and 8 should be devoted, in the case of boots and shoes, to descriptions and prices, in­ terlarded with a few spicy, terse re­ marks relative to special features. I have always found that the terse, in­ formal and half jocular manner of speech outlined above will gain read­ ers, where rhetoric and flowery effu­ sions fail. There is a certain spirit of comradeship and bonhommie inher­ ent In most people to which this style of language appeals strongly and car­ ries the argument with it. It is impossible, in the scope of a newspaper article, to enumerate all tbe features which should go to make up a successful booklet; But I think 1 have made the idea sufficiently plain so that any merchant may adapt it. Above all, call attention to your book­ let or circular in your newspaper ad., and allow the printer full scope in the designing and printing. Bookletrean profitably be used for any branch of merchandising, but they are more es­ pecially adapted to those lines in which it is important to appeal to the gentler sex* Tbe show window is rarely utilized to its greatest limit for successful ad­ vertising. Either the display given is too common, or else it is allowed to remain unchanged so long that all good effect is lost. It is not always wisest to use goods for sale exclusive­ ly in the window. Some of the best results are obtained by the display of something entirely foreign tothe^lne of merchandise carried in stock, and the more homely and common the idea, the more attention will it attract. Living pictures are always a great at­ traction. A man in patched overalls and a hickory shirt, cutting wood with an old fashioned saw and saw­ buck, in the window of a jewelry store, will attract far more attention than the finest display of diamonds. Tbe reason Is obvious. The diamonds are beyond the reach of most people, and if attention is attracted, it serves mere­ ly to create as uneatBfiabie longing. While -the homely employment of our boyhood days—“bucking” wood for trifling expense, the merchant may give a series of living pictures in his show window, always calling attention to them in hl# newspaper advertise •rtise-­ ment, which will give him a v* wideJ~ spread reputa^on for enterprise anu C ’’hie "merchaut who has traveled the beaten path of advertising for years will find It, at first, difficult to get his wheels out of the rut. But once out in the field of originality and proSresslveness, he will be surprised at te increase of speed and the ease with which he is enabled to devise new and catching advertising ideas. I find I have filled my space and not said all I would like to about window display. I have said enough, how­ ever, to put the merchant who really desires to be progressive on the road which leads him to the goal of success and his constituents will say of him, “There is a merchant untrammeled with old-fogy notions—a man who is sufficiently daring, original and pro­ gressive to use such methods in ad­ vertising as will please the people”— and the people are the.buyers. * Fdc.

Well, I have changed my plans somewhat and will winter here, and have not got mail to my address at ■ Circle City since I left. Thinking that perhaps a few lines might interest you, and having a half day with nothing to do I will try and tell you something about our summer trip. We left Dawson the lat­ ter part of June, went down to Forty Mile river where cache* were built aud the bulk of our provisions stored, then we built small pointed boats and taking provisions to last three months started up the river intending to push on to the head waters of the Tanana river to prospect. We started with three boats and nine men in all, mak­ ing three men to tbe boat. The first day out one boat swamped while try­ ing to line it through a rapids. For­ tunately no one was drowned and all the supplies beirig saved we succeeded in getting away again after losing one day. The river was so rapid that we could only make about 7 miles per day and then the mosquitoes and heat were a fright. We reached the U. S. boundary line on the 4th of July and saw the stars and stripes again. Here one boat crew became disheartened and left us, leaving two boats with six men. The next day our boat, which was leaking badly, swamped again, but after a desperate struggle we-succecded in saving most of the cargo. Here a council of war was held, as it was plain to be seen that we were making too poor headway to think of getting our boats 150 miles farther up stream where the the Tanana trail came down over the mountains, so it was decided to abandon tbe boats here and take -an old Indian trail that led by a roundabout way to the Tanana, and accordingly packs were made up for a two hundred and fifty mile walk. These packs were nearly all provis­ ions excepting rifles, picks, gold pans, etc., weighing about 100 pounds to the man. No bedding was taken as we did most all our traveling at night sleeping in the middle of the day. Of course the sun was shining 23 hours out 24 at that time. Well, after the first day's tramp three more of the party quit and turned back, leaving one old man 60 years old, but an old timer from Idaho, a real estate man from Minnesota and myself to make the trip. Well, we kept on day after day, only making about 20 or 30 miles, until we reached the Tanana In­ dian village on tbe banks of the Tan­ ana. Here we procured .some dried meats from the Indians and com­ menced to prospect. Most of our pros­ pecting was done on the small creeks and rivers that flow into the Tanana. Of course our time was somewhat lim­ ited as our “grub” was getting short and then the snow falls on the moun­ tains as early as the 10th of Septem­ ber, and not having any bedding ex­ cept a couple of bear skins that we had picked up, having killed several bears, we could do nothing more than pan creek grave!. We found gold on one creek that gave promises of being rich, in fact we took out several ounces in the three days that we were there. Of course we staked claims and then having already stayed too long started back. Coming back we made better time than going for we had no loads to carry, the mosquitoes were gone and tbe weather cool, in fact too cool to do much of a job sleeping. We reached our boats on the 8th of September, and the Yukuteon the 12th. Left Forty Mile on the 20th and reached here the 24th September. Since that time have been building a house and preparing for winter. There is now over 10 inches of snow on tbe Ground and the mercury has been as ow as 16 below zero. The Yukon is stjll open but full of running ice. The mail steamers are still going but ex­ pect to be frozen in at any time. There is plenty of provisions for every one this year; prices are high. About onefifth of the city burneu down one day last week but none of the big stores went. The old man wants to go back and work the claims nex- spring but I don't think it possible to get in enough “grub” to do it. Glad to hear that the war question was settled all right.

"But it will be long before I see one thnt would suit me so well!" Tbe young man appeared much moved by Henclinrd’s warm convictions of his value. He was sMcnt till they reached the door. “1 wish I could stay—sincerely wish it,” he replied. "But. no—it cannot be; it cannot! I want to see the warrld.” CHAPTER VII. When Elizabeth Jane opened the hinged casement next morning the mellow -air brought in the feel of Imminent autumn almost as distinctly as if she bad been in the remotest hamlet. Hearing voices, one of which was close at hand, she withdrew her head and glanc­ ed from behind the window curtains. Mr. Henchard—now habited no longer ns a great personage, but as a thriving man of business—was pausing on his way up the middle of the street, aud the Scotchman was looking from tjie window adjoining her own. Henchard, it appeared, had gone a little way past the inn lieforc he noticed his acquaintance of the previous evening. He came back a few steps, Don­ ald Farfrae opening the window wider. "Ami you are off soon, 1 supixwe?’ said Henchard-upward. “Yes—almost this moment, sir.” said the other downward. “I’ll walk on, aud the coach will overtake me.” "Which way?" "The way ye are going." "Thon shall we walk together to the top "If ye’ll wait a minute,” said the Scotchman. In a few minutes the latter emerged, bag in Tinnd. Henchard looked at the bag ns at an enemy. It showed there was no mistake nU<ut the young man's depar­ ture. "Ah. my lad." he said, “you should hnve been a wise man and have stayed with me.” "Yes. yes—it might hnve been wiser," sni<l Donald, looking microscopically at the bouses that were furthest off. “It is only telling ye tbe truth when 1 say my plans are vague." They had by this time passed «>n from the precincts of the inn. and Elizabeth Jane heard no more. She saw that they continued in conversation. Henchard turn­ ing to the other occasionally nnd empha­ sizing some remark with a gesture. Thus they passed the Golden Crown Hotel, the Market House, the churchyard wall, as­ cending to the upper end of the long street till they were small aa two grains of corn, when they bent suddenly to the right into the Bristol Road and were out of view. “He was a good man—and he’s gone," she said to herself. “I was nothing to him,' nnd there was no reason why be should hnve wished me good-by." The simple thought; with its latent scuse of slight, had molded itself out of the following little fact: When the Scotch­ man came out at the door he had by acci­ dent glanced up at her. nnd then he bad looked away again without nodding, or smiling, or saying a word. "You arc still thinking, mother." she said when she turned inward. “Yes; I am thinking of Mr. Henchard'* sudden liking for that young man. He den—nearly a quarter of a mile off. Mr. Henchard wa* not in the house, but in tbt store-yard. She wa* conducted into themowy garden, and through aside-door in the wall, which was studded with rusty nail* speaking of generations of fruit tree* that had been trained there. The door opened upon the yard, and here she wa* left to find him ns she could. It was a place flanked by hay-barns, into which tons of fodder, all in trusses, were being packed from the wagons ahe had seen pass the inn that morning. On other side* ot the yard were wooden granaries on stone staddleo, to which access was given by short Flemish ladders, and a tail store­ house several stories high. Wherever the doors of these places wen' open, a closely packed throng of bursting wheat sacks could be seen standing, with the air -of waiting for a famine that would not come. She wandered nbdut this place, uncom­ fortably conscious of the impending in­ terview, till she was quite weary of scorching; ahe ventured to inquire of a boy in what quarter of the labyrinth Mr. Henchard could be found. He directed her to an office which' she had not seen before, and knocking at the door she was answered by-a cry of “Come in." Elizabeth turned the handle; and there stood before her, bending over some sam­ ple-bags on a table, not the corn merchant, but the young Scotchman. Mr. Farfrae— iu the act of pouring some grains of wheat from one hand to the other. Hl* hat hung on a peg behind him, and the roses of his carpet bag glowed from the corner of the room. He had finally been persuad­ ed by Mr. Henchard to enter his employ. Having toned her feeling* to meet Mr. Henchard. and him alone, she was for the moment confounded by this apparition in place of him. She had come to say defi­ nite words held iu suspense on the tip of her tongue, nnd being confronted by the wrong auditor she could say nothing at all. “Yes, what is it?’ snid the Scotchman, like a man who permanently ruled there. She said she wanted to see Mr. Hench­ ard. “Ah. yes; will ye wait a minute? He’s engaged just now." said the young man. smiling, for he now recognized her as the young girl at the inn. He handed her a chair, bnde her sit down, and turned to his sample bags again. . (To be continued.) The Ci»es of Fruit. Of all the classes of nature's edible productions, that vf fruit is most pleas­ ing to the senses. That fruit alone will not sustain life for n prolonged period is true, but that the organic fruits and acids of fruit are necessary to the main­ tenance of perfect health is equally cor­ rect. ITof. A. R. Elliot (Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette) summarizes the use* of fruit as folows: 1. To furnish variety to the diet. 2. To relieve thirst and introduce wai­ ter Into the system. 3. To furnish nutriment. •1. To supply organic sail* essential to proper nutrition. 5. To stimulate the kidneys, increase tbt* flow of urine and lower Its acidity. (’». To act ns laxatives. 7. To stimulate and Improve appetite and digestion. 8. To act as antiscorbutics. Concerning tbe mode of preparation, ripe fruits a rule do not need to lx? cooked, nnd are much more palatable and equally nutritious In the uncooked state. Tbe proper time to ent fruit is either at the beginning of the meal or between Acais, when they aid digestion ar^d exert tbe greater laxatlvv effect Taken nt tho completion of a meal, they dilute the gastric juice and tend to embnmiss digestion.—American Cultiva­ tor.

It was a re­ markable speech in many ways and wa* filled with lofty sentiments and corsdtutional argument. Much withering sarcasm was leveled at Senator Platt of Connect!-, cut and some nt the PraaWent. . Mr. Hoar confined himself pretty cloaely to tbe constitutional aspects of the question, disclaiming nt the outsat an in­ tention to discuss except in an incidental way the policy icoposed by the adminis­ tration of entering upon on expansion of its territory, but making a clear enough statement of his personal position on the subject. He based his argument princi­ pally on the declaration of independence and on the national constitution, saying that if tbe doctrines of the fathers were to be preserved, jjo right exists Whereby we could govern subject peoples. He de­ clared thnt labor would suffer, that the uational debt would be materially aug­ mented, and thnt the necessary increase in the arnjy and navy would be a menace. The Senator added that if Congres* should vote for annexation it would be in palpable violation of its declaration a few months ago that “the people of.Cuba are and of right ought to be free and fade-, pendent” Mr. Platt of Connecticut made a terse reply, saying the Massachusetts Senator had been building up a man of straw, and that he stood in fear of a mere specter.

The Penny Magazine, New York, which Is the lowest-priced magazine in America ( 20 cents a year,) and which is owned by Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, the eminent American orator, wants a representative in this vicinity. It is a good opportunity for one of our am­ bitious young men or young women. Applications should be addressed to the Subscription Department, The Penny Magazine, Temple Court, New York City. A great many people think a newgpaper should have a page of local news whether anything happens or not. Local editors cannot make people break their necks, commit sui­ cide or any of the other exciting things that go to make up thfe material out of which the local reporter de­ lights to weave paragraphs. Furnish­ ing domestic news when there is none is very much like extracting blood from a turnip. It is no more than fair that those who grumble at the lack of local hews in their.paper should stop and think whether they could not give the editor an item or two worth print­ ing, and, if so, let them hold their ix-ucv or growl at their own remissnee s.

Allen and John MoOmber of Hast­ ings were brought before Justice Kenaston of that place Monday for exam­ ination. Prosecutor Thomas and Hon. P. T. Colgrove appeared for the peo­ ple and L. E. Knappen of Grand Rap­ ids and Nagler & Sullivan for the de­ fense. The examination was held in the circuit court room, which was filled to suffocation. Immediately after the McOmber boys entered the court room they were ar­ rested on the charge of larceny by Sheriff Ritchie. The first witness on the stand was Fred' L. Heath, who testified that last summer Allen McOmber wanted to sell him a barrel of alcohol, five gallons at a time, which be said Grace and Thorp hud obtained in trade. He re­ fused to buy the alcohol in that way, and as McOmber said he could not deliver it in the barrel, us th-y did not wish to have the barrel seen, he did not buy it. W. H. Goodyear and Mr. Everts testified that they had taken an invoice of the alleged stolen goods recovered and found that they inventoried at *1.206.00. Burke Campbell testified that he saw Allen McOmber take things from the store and hud spoken to him about It but McOmber said that if he told Goodyear he would implicate him, and finally McOmber made him put up drugs for him. His reason for this was that McOmber had him in his power and made him do as he wished nim to do. Campbell denied having given the key to Goodyear’s store to any one. Grace and Thorp testified that soon after they wqye arrested Allen McOm­ ber came to the jail and told them that if they would confess that they had stolen everything he would try and get bail and furnish Colgrove as their lawyer, and if they went to prison he would sell the goods, and when they got out he woula have plenty of mon­ ey for them all. 'The examination was then adjourned until tomorrow. ---------------------------------------------------;----------AN EVENING OF SURPRISES. 12 3* ua I RAFTIST OHUBCH.-Serrlc** every Sunday at c ML n ir U toJo a. ot. and at 7JO p. tn.

No more capable company has appeared here in years, and they are addingto their popularity every night. The company is thoroughly well-balanced: every member is capable and up to his or her part, and there is not a “stick” in the company. They also work in some very clever specialties, notably the dancing of Larry Kane, who is second to none in his line, the contortion work of Harry Raymond, the singing of MiUie Maxam, who by Die way is a Barry county girl, and the dancing of little Goldie Beach. Every member of the company is de­ serving of special mention, and we have heard nothing but words of praiw.’ for them. One notable feature of the company is teat they seem to be a happy family and demean themselves as ladies and gentlemen, not only on the stage but on the street and at their hotel. They will always be welcome to Nashville, and our only fear is that they are getting so good that they will soon be cutting out tlie smaller towns from their date book.

Already 3,3®2 F panl.h-AmaricaM War Claims Have Been Filed. Coinmisaioncr of IVmrionz H.. Clay Ev­ ans estimates that in ten years there will 'be 20,000 persons drawing pensions from the Government ns a result of the war with Spain'. He places the average pen­ sion at >10 a month, which would make the annual expenditure for pension* on account of the recent war about f2J>00,* 000. The number of claims already filed exceeds 3,000 qnd is growing at the rate of 100 per day. Less than six weeks after the formal declaration of hostilities the first applica­ tion for a pension resulting from the war with Spain was filed at the commissioner’s office. It was from a'widow of Private William H. Hook of Company F. Second Wisconsin infantry. It seeiim that about two days after Hook was mustered into the service his regiment was ordered into a State camp. There Hook contracted a fever and died Inside of a week. His widow lost no time in putting in a claim for pension. For the first few weeks near­ ly all the applications were from “de|M>ndents«” that is, widows and mothers, and were about evenly divided between the army and navy. Later a flood of “in­ valid" applications were received, coming from soldiers who bad beep ordered out of the service and who were filing claims for bounty based on diseases contracted while in the service. The first soldier to apply for a pension on his own account was F. Roy Eshlcman, a private In Com­ pany E. Sixth Illinois infantry. His pajM*rs were recorded at the commissioner's office on June 8. No more application*'of this class came iu until July 1, but from that date they l>egan to pile up rapidly. They numbered (19 by Sept. 1 and 450 on the 1st of November. During tho month of November the cases ran up to i,G23, but the record was broken in the first three wees* of December, when the total was almost doubled. On Dec. 20 the number of invalid claims on file was 3,1(17, of which 1.398 came in since Dec. 1. In the nx-nntime the persons who were in­ jured in the navy were putting in their claims. On Dec. 20 there were 225 claims, for p<>nsions growing out of fatalities and damages sustained by sailors. Of this nnmbdr 193 were invalid claims ^Ud the balance were petitions from mothers and widows. This made a grand total of 3,392 claims on file Dec. 20 from the army aud navy. The first pension of the Spanish war was granted to Jesse F. Gates, a memher of Company A. Second United States light artillery. This soldier was badly wounded at Santiago, a Spanish shell tearing away a portion of his face and dis­ figuring him for life. He put in a claim for pension on Oct. 20 and then got offi­ cials of the administration interested in his case. Upon the direct order of the President his claim was taken up and ad­ judicated. the allowance being made Nov. 1(J anZ the pension dating from Oct. 20.

Back of the dam is a body of water a mile and one-half long, hundreds of feet wide and in places twenty-five to thirty feet deep. The break allowed torrents of water to pour down on the flats below. Tin* cniiHC of the flood is the recent heavy rains, the melting snow from the bllMdea and a pond of several acn*s overflowing. Streams, for several miles up the gully added th’eir quota of water. ■ The Willson avenin- briilge is 700 feet long and has Ik*cu built but a few months. It rwt >350,000. The break in tho dam, whb-h was an unsubstantial mass of earth, occurred while thirty men were at work in the artificial canal being sunk by the rity engineers to allow the pentup water to find a gradual and safe out­ let. These men had a most harrowing experience and escaped with their lives with not one second to-spare.* The warn­ ing given them was not sufficient to even arouse their fears of what was happening, anti hardly a man had l'M>ked up from the bottom of the dt*ep trench in which they were working before the crash came and the awful flood had broken loose. The water undermined an embankment 150 feet high and fifty feet in area, sweeping it down with th»? raging flood. Senator Platt of New York is always neat and trim, well gnxnned. Gov.

A Washington <-orresjx>ndent asserts that the President h profoundly displeas­ ed with the scandalous wrangilngs of ar­ my officers, which have born so conspicu­ ous in (he past few months. While ho is most anxious to act ns a peacemaker, he wUl stop these useless bickerings in the army and put nn end tn the possilglities of further scandal, even if he has to order several more courts martial to accom­ plish his purpose. The strained relations between the general hi command of the army and the War Department proper will not Im* eased by the punishment of Commissary General Eagan. It is the general belief that Mlles has been drfiberately seeking trouble. Considering the directness of the evi­ dence which will support the charges and Specification*, it can make little differ­ ence to Gen. Eagan who tries him. He will Im? convicted of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman and conduct prejudicial to good order and military dis­ cipline. The sentence of the court will be dismifftal from the service of the Unit­ ed Slates, and it will remain with the I’n*sident to approve or mitigate the find­ ing. It ha* been the President’* desire to censure Gen. Eagan for his extraordi­ nary language, and he would have done so without a court If the precedents would haw permitted. The President Tuesday aunonneed at the cabinet meeting that he had decided to order a court martial to try Commissary General Eagan for the abusive and violent language he used resiiectfng. Gen. Miles before the war investigating commission. Prior to the cabinet session the President held a conference with the Secretary of War and Adjutant General Corbin. It was brief, but the action to follow Eagan’s utterances was decided and when the cab­ inet met the President announced he had reached a decision in the matter. He said be bad determined there- was only one course to adopt and that was to order a court martial convened to try Eagan. The deciHion met the approval of the members of the cabinet There was some discus­ sion following the President’s announce­ ment, in which the cow wua threshed over to some extent, though tho President him­ self took little part in the discussion. The details of the action were left to the Sec­ retary of War. CIVIL WAR RAGES IN SAMOA Follower* of the Rivat Chief* Engage In Conflict. Civil war is agaiu raging in Samoa.

FARMERS’ GREATEST YEAR. Fiffnrcs Which Show that tSOB Beat All Recorla The farmers of this country made more money in 18!»S than ever before in its his­ tory. The statistical reports from the Department of Agriculture show unprecc-, dented crops and unprecedented prices. The corn crop in 1KM> amounted to 2,283,875.Ur> bushels, valued at f44».27«i,U39; In 1897 it was 1,9O2.1MJT,933 bushels, val­ ued nt 11301,072.93^ In 1898, according to present estimates, the volume was not only largely iucreased, but the farm value of corn throughout the country averages 2.4 centj a tyushc! more thru) iu J8O7. The wheat crop In ISw. at »2 cents a bushel, was valued at $427,08434t>; in 1897, at 80.8 per bushel, it was valued at $428,547,121. The increhse in 1898 was 1,411,092 acres, the largest in history, and the crop was unprecedented iu quality, quantity and price. The barley crop in 1897 was worth $25,142,139 at 37 cents a bushel. The figtires for 1898 are not in yet. but thejwj.ee |s 41.4 cegts a bushel hnd the preliminary report showh a crop slightly above the average. The same may be said of rye, which ia quoted at 46.3 cents a bushel, against 44.7 in 1897. The farm price for oa^ in 1898, accord­ ing to the official figures of the Agricul­ tural Department, is 25.G cents a bushel, against 2L2 for 1897 and 19.5 in 1896.

EAGAN. Been Selected. W’hatever may be the outcome of the Eagnn court martial, it may be confident­ ly* said that Eagan’s career as commissary general of the army is ended, says a Washington dispatch. His successor, Col. John F. Weston, has already been se­ lected. He is ultimately to take charge of the commissary general’s department. He cannot be nominated to the Senate to succeed Gen. Eagan as commissary gendYal until the latter has been dismissed or relegated to the retired list. Col. Weston is one of the heat known officers of tho subsistence department. He was the chief commissary officer during the Santiago campaign. He has been in the subsistence department since 1873, and previously served in the line of the army. He entered the volunteer service as first lieutenant of the Fourth Kentucky cavalry in 18G1 and served throughout the rebellion. At its close be was appoint­ ed to the regular service. WANT TO BE PRESIDENT. Senators Cockrell and Gorman Have In. a lending editorial the Kansas City Times, heretofore a warm supporter of Bryan, urges the candidacy of United States Senator Francis M. Cockrell for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1000. Senator Cockrell is put forward as “an old-fashioned Democrat, who stood for what the Chicago platform contains long before that platform wan promulgat­ ed, a Democrat of experience in national niTnirs, whose record hns stood the test of time.” The Times asserts that “the sole objection which could have been urged; against Cockrell, that he fought with the South, has been answered by the action of ex-Confederate soldiers in the war of 1898." Senator Gorman of Maryland is a dhndidate for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1900.

You have read* about him in your achool readers, how he was walking along the dike when he heard s faint sound of trickling water, and knew at once that a leak had sprung in that great embank­ ment which save* Holland from the devas­ tations of the hungry sea. It waa early in the night, and no one was near at band. The leak waa small when he found it, but be knew that the action of the water would enlarge it long before morning, and wash away the entire embankment, in tin date the country and destroy his own and thou­ sands of homes. So he bravely put his finger in the crevasse, and kept it there all the long night through, until help came and the opening was properly stopped. He had saved his country.

Alt on Hoard Quickly Perish—Fa­ vorable Reports from Ail Branches Launch Wrecked on a. Reef. Belief existent for several days that tbe naphthn launch Paul Jones had Ihvu lost in the Gulf of Mexico has become cer­ tainty. It is more than probable, more-­ over, that ail on board have been lost. Bird Island, thirty miles ffom the mouth of the- Mississippi, is strewn with wreck­ age of the yacht and ample evidence that she was destroyed by an explosion, pre­ sumably of gasoline, has been found. This positive news plunged into mourning wellknown families In Chicago, Indiahapolia. St. Louis and Louisville. The launch, which -was owned by Lawrence Jones, a Ixraisvillc distiller, waa loaned by him to Mr. Yocum of St. Louis and left Louis­ ville for a trip to Florida. She left New Orh-ans for Pensacola. Since that time nothing definite had been heard from her until definite news of bcr loss was brought by oyster fishermen, yrbo have known of it for more than a week. The launch ex­ ploded, they say, near Bird Island, and everything goes to show that all on board were killed at once or drowned soon after. Chadron, NeU.

News has been received from Mountain Home, Ark., of i>oisoning case in which six men arc already dead. Mountain Home is farzfrom railroad or telegraphic communication. No less than six sturdy mountaineers in that vicinity have been suddenly stricken and died in great agony, while othero/wbo have been attacked in Lke manner have only been saved by prompt medical attention. James Wil\ kins, a farmer, died. His death was fol­ lowed by three others In different places near Mountain Home, and one day E. L. Hayes, a prominent xinc-mine owner, died in almost the same manner as the others, while at nearly the same hour and only u short distance away John Font died in the same sudden and mysterious way. Those who witnessed the death struggles were convinced that the men were the victim* of some powerful poison. An in­ vestigation showed that in every case tbe men had been prostrated immediately after drinking what was supposed to be whisky procured at Mountain Home. As there is no saloon at that place tbe source from which the poisoned whisky came Js not ‘■.□own, and many of the people be­ lieve that a deliberate attempt at whole­ sale poisoning has been made by some secret enemy of the victims. A flask from which one of tbe men drank has been found and the confent* examined by a physician, who pronounces it a strong so­ lution of wood alcohol and other poisonous liquids. While seeking safety from tbe flames, which were destroying their home st Cleveland, Mrs. Fred W. Tisdel was in­ stantly killed and her husband sustained severe injuries.

The moot Important change in the bill a* reported was'the adoption, after a hard fight, of a Rubstitute for the organization ol tbi- ma­ rine corps, by which the corps is to consist of 6.000 enlisted men and. petty officers, with general officer* and staff. This will increase the marine corps by 1.300 men and increase the cost of it* maintenance *1,500.000. Several unimportant bills were passed by unanitnou* wonrent before the personnel bill was taken up. Altnoat the entire session of the Senate wa* de­ voted to coniddcration of the pending Nicaragua canal Wil. Speeches were made In support of the measure by Mr. Chilton (Tex.) and Mr. Turner <Wa*h.) and in opposition to ft by Mr. Spooner (Wis.}. At 3 o'clock consideration of the bill under the fifteen-minute ride wa* be­ gun and waa continual to the dose of the session. The Committee on Interstate and For­ eign Commerce had the right of way in the House on Wednesday and succeeded in posning quite a number of bill* of minor Importance, most of which authorized the construction of light houses, fog signal*, etc. Then the bill to grant the Pacific Cable Company a subsidy of *100,060 a year for tjventy year* for the construction and operation of a cable was called up and a very spirited debate, which consumed the remainder of the day. followed. The opposition was headed by Mr. Cortis* (Rep.. Mich.), who advocated the con­ struction of a Government cable. No conclusion was reached at the hour of ad­ journment. and as the special order under which tbe House was operating expired with the adjournment, and as objection wa* made to fixing another day for it* consideration, it goes over indefinitely. The Senate listened further on Thurs­ day to a discussion of tlte policy of expan­ sion. Mr. Turner (Wash.. Pop.) deliv­ ered a carefully prepared speech on the Vest resolution. The speech wa* for tbe most part a constitutional argument in which Mr. Turner took issue with Sena­ tor Platt and Senator Foraker upon their recent utterances. At tbe conclusion of Mr. Turner's argument Mr. Foraker took some sharp exceptions to statement* made in the speech, especially those referring to him personally. The Nicaragua canal HI! was under consideration nearly three hours. After much debate a substitute presenteil by Mr. Morgan (Ala.) for the bond amendment offered by Mr. Allison was adopted. It provides thnt bond pay­ ments shall not exceed S20.000.060 in any fiscal year. The amendment as amended was then adopted, 41 to 10. Tbe last hour of the session was occupied in discus­ sion of several amendmente offered by Mr. Caffcry of Louisiana, all nt which were defeated. The House practically de­ cided tbe Brown-Swanson contested elec­ tion case from the Fifth Virginia dis­ trict in favor of the sitting member. Mr. Swanson, a Democrat, by declining to consider the care. The |w>«toffice appro­ priation bill wna then taken up. The greatest surprise of the day was the adop­ tion of two amendments striking out of the bill tho appropriation of *171,000 for the fast Southern moil and *25,000 for special mail facilities from Kansas City to Newton, Kan. The proceedings in the House were en­ livened on Friday by o wordy duel be­ tween Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio and Mr. Lewis, Democrat, the member from VL ashington. It occurred during tbe de­ bate on a private bill to refer to the court of claim* the claim of Cramp & Sons, the Philadelphia ship Guilders, for damages from the Government for delays incident to tbe building of the warship* NewYork, Massachusetts, Indiana and Colum­ bia. due to the failure of the Government to deliver armor plate and other materials fur these ships on time. The postoffice ap­ propriation bill was passed. At 4:30 p. m. the House recessed until 8 o'clock. The evening session waa devoted to .private I>ensiou legislation aud adjournment waa taken to Monday. The Senate was in ses­ sion for five hours and a half, but the ses­ sion was practically barren of results. Two notable spe^-ches were delivered, one by Mr. Nrison (Rep.. Minn.), in opposi­ tion to Mr. Vest’s anti-expansion resolu­ tion. nnd the other by Mr. White (Dem.. Cal.), a personal explanation of his posi­ tion with respect to lhe instruction* given the California Senators by tbe Legisla­ ture in that State as to voting on the pending pence treaty.

A new ^Tinkle may be learned from an English soldier, who was noted for keeping his boots to better condition and ''making them last longer than any of his brother officers. When asked what be did to them to prevent the leather from cracking and keplng it soft and smooth, his reply was: "Mutton bone.” When an explanation was demanded he said: “It Is nothing, I assure you. My man asks the cook for a knuckle bone, which he cleans and then bakes. After rubbing the leather with cream he then frotles them ns hard as he can with the bone.

RAILROADS MORE PROSPEROUS. Stagnation of the Past Five-Years Haw Disappeared. Railroad Commissioner Wesselius re­ cently filed his annual report. The state­ ment is made that the general stagnation which has existed in railroad circles for the past five years has almost wholly dis­ appeared, reports for the calendar year just closed showing a net increase of 15 per cent over the business of the year pre­ vious. The total mileage to the State is now 7,810.55 miles of main track, and 2,198.40 miles of side tracks and spurs, a total of 10J118 miles. During the year the rail­ roads carried 9,802,491 passengers within this State, and of this number only three were killed and six injured, while 31 em­ ployes were killed and 259 injured. One hundred and six other persons, principal­ ly trespaasera upon tracks and trains, were killed nnd 79 injured. Tax«*s were computed last year under 'the Merriam law which amends the gen­ eral railroad law. nnd the computatibna showed a net increase of $203,075.80 over the previous year, tot* total being $913,­ 013.30. The commissioner asks that a bill be passed containing the principles of tljc Atkinson measure; that separate bills be passed repealing the tax clauses iu the special charters of the Michigan Central and Detroit, Grand Huven and Milwau­ kee companies, and possibly, in the inter­ est of entire safety, of toe Lake Shore and Michigan Southern; that the repeal or amendment of these charters generally, if undertaken by toe Legislature, shall lx? taken up after the repeal or'amendment of the tax clause of the charter, and that the subject of amending or repealing the What He Lived For. tax clause of these special charters be The lowliest of lives, in the plainest treated in separate bills to avoid the con­ of surroundings, may sometimes show flict in provisions. that the highest wisdom is the absorp­ WHEAT HAS SUFFERED Lil TLE. tion of tbe greatest truths in the slmpieut way.

Weeds get the mastery at the start - because they ore always adapted to the soil in which they grow. In making rapid growth a weed sends Its roots out in every direction, seizing all the sup­ plies in the eoll and starving other plants. If not soon removed the large weeds shade the plants of the crop and also appropriate ail the moisture with­ in reach. If the weeds are destroyed when very young then the crop takes possession, rendering it more difficult for the next lot of weeds to thrive. Land cannot grow two crops at the same time, and as long as the weeds have a place they taka as much plant foqd from the soil m Is removed by crops.

In Franco tbe Celta,Gallo-Romans,Franks and Iberians have combined to produce tbe modern Frenchman. The English from Slecwick and the northern seas ab­ sorbed not only tbe races they subdued in Britain, but the Normans, by whom they were conquered COO years later.

After wur was determined on there The president Is only nominally com­ mander in chief. So far as the army is concerned, congress commands. It docs not often permit even the professional sol­ diers wbo are educated at the Military academy to rise to the rank of general of­ ficers. When the war broke out, General Merritt was the only general officer of tbo army who hnd been educated at West Point, and, while there were general offi­ cers in tho army, notably General Mlles, wbo had earned their high commissions by soldierly achievements, it is the fact, known of all wbo are acquainted with army affairs, that in time of peace at least friends in congress are more potent in sc­ ouring a brigadier or major general ship than former services In the field or pres­ ent services at posts.

Al the Kansas station an aero plat which was in wheat continuously for 17 years without manure gave an aver­ age yield of 19.67 bushels per acre for tbe period. During this period three crops were complete failures and two others but little short of failures owing to winter killing. An experiment with snbsolled and surface plowed plats resulted in lighter yields on tho suhsoiled plats. The experience of the oollege farm with subsoiling for wheat and corn in­ dicates that there ia a positive lots of labor and yield by eubeoiling. The comparison of different dates of seeding shows that in general the best results were obtained from seedings made from Sept. 7 to 81. zOn tbe aver­ age tbe seeding of Sept 16 made the best showing. The rotation experimentshave shown that a yearly application of 80 tons of baruyard manure per acre causes an ex­ cessive growth of straw and fails to de­ velop tbe kernel. This year wheat waa sown after some catch crops of soy beans and cowpeas. The best yields were obtained from the wheat seeded on coy bean stubble. Out of J57 varieties grown at the sta­ tion for several years the Turkey, Tas­ manian Red and Crimean only have withstood tbe severe frosts in Novem­ ber ao as to yield at the rate of ten bushels or more per acre. For years we have buried our winter supply of roots—beets, carrots, radish­ es, turnips and parsnips—in boxes or barrels in dry earth in the cellar and had them keep fresh and crisp till used up, says Farm, Field and Fireside.

TO CLEAN UP HAVANA. TASK OF SCRUBBING OUT THAT CITY IS A BIG ONE. It Will Require Time to Put the Un­ healthy Cuban Capital in a Sanitury Conditlon—American Knergy Naw Busy with the Great Undertaking. The work of reorganizing the civil gov­ ernment in Havana is now under way, nnd though the difficulties arc naturally great it is encouraging ‘to learn through the report- of Surgeon General Sternberg, who has '’returned from Cuba, that the Americans arc making remarkable head-, way. Gen. Ludlow has in charge the work of rehabilitation in Havana nnd his en­ ergy has already accomplished much. The sanitary regeneration of the capital is the most difficult problem that confronts the Americans and according to Surgeon General Sternberg the work will require time, patience and money. Under the’ wise- directionof Gen. Ludlow a good be­ ginning has been made and the surgeon general gives it as bis opinion that the city will be in snch condition by summer qs ^ il! permit unacclimated persons to live To those who know the sanitary con­ dition of Havana under Spanish rule this means much. The city was really little less than a plague spot. There were foul pools on the streets, spreading their poi­ sonous exhalations under the tropical sun. The qarrasses of dead animals, such ns dogs mid cats, were allowed to licrton the streets anil decompose until picked apart by buzzards. Vaults in private houses frequciuly connected with drains just Un­ der-the pavement along their frontage and those drains of loose brick or stone per­ mitted leaks, so that Jbc pavement was rendered foul and unhealthy. Beneath each kitchen stood *n cesspool that emit­ ted its poisonous odors through each building and on the streets garbage was allowed to rot in the aim. ihj New iuvann. But all this is now being changed. Garb­ age will in future be removed daily, cess­ pools will be cleaned nnd dosed, sanitary closets connecting with sewers will take the place of disense-broeding vaults and dogs and cats after death will find other resting places than the streets. Naturally, in order to carry out such sanitary reforms in full throughout the city will require a good deal of energy and CANAL BILL PASSES SENATE. Plan for Bnildlnu the Nicaragua Ditch. Approved in Upper Home. The Senate paused the Nicaragua canal bill Saturday. The final discussion of the measure was had on the amendment of Mr. Spooner providing that should the President fail to carry out the iustructiomi in regard to the Maritime Canal Com­ pany, he may treat directly with Nicara­ gua, Costa Rica or any other Central American country looking to the building of an interoceanic canal. The canal bill fathered by Senator Mor­ gan, in a somewhat different form, pass­ ed the Senate once before, but failed to ’'receive consideration in the House. The fight which was made on the bill in the Senate was principally due to an attempt to change certain features of it, some of which changes were secured, whereupon the opposition Senators allowed the bill to-pass without offering serious protest. One objection raised against the Mor­ gan bill was the recognition given by it to the Maritime Canal Company, which is believed by many to have no valuable rights and little tangible property. As amended the biH.nims to protect the Gov­ ernment from excessive payments in this line. Objection was made also to the part which the United States Government is to play in the matter. The bill provides that the canal company shall have a cap­ ital stock of $100,(MXMX<0-„ of which $92.­ 500,000 shall be anbacribed by the United States Government. The affairs of the company are to be controlled by a l>onrd of seven directors, five to Im» named by the President of the United States and one each by the Governments of Nicaragua aud Costa Rica. This plan, apparently. iVould rcqnJre the modification of the Clayton-Bulwvr treaty. Therefore It has ts'en-contended by some of the opponents of the Morgan bill that the United States would belter proceed to secure the modifi­ cation ot the Clayton-Buiwer treaty nnd then build and control the canal directly, instead of Indirectly through a subsidiary c«ri»oration.

The same claim, however, can hardly Is* made as regards a. number of movements toward consolidation in this aud other industries, where, in fact, the movement toward combination is ap­ proaching a virtual crate.

Off by Hundreds, ’ Smallpox has broken out among the Kaw, Cheyenne and Kickapoo Indians in Oklahoma and among the Creeks and Seminoh-s in Indian territory. Hu nd mis of Indians have died of the disease al­ ready and many more are sick. The In­ dian* are so frightened over the conta­ gion that they are cutting themselves nnd injecting their own medicind. Several have committed suicide to esehjie, as they fear smallpox worse than death. The Secretary of the Interior has sent a *ih-, rial physician among the Creeks and 8cm• uoles and the authorities in Oklahoma have enforced a rigid quarantine and sup­ plied physicians. TRAIN RUNS INTO WORKMEN. Two Killed nnd Sixteen Injured N< the Gallitzin Tunnel. A gang of twenty-six track repair men were working on the railroad at the west­ ern opening of the Gallitzin tunnel, near Altoona, Pa., when they heard the ap­ proach of u locomotive. The workmen all atepiM-d from the north track, on which west-bound trains move, to the south track. The smoke in the tunnel prevented them from seeing tbe approaching locomo­ tive, which, in order to avoid detractions on the north truck, was running on the south track. One man was instantly kill­ ed, one died in the Altoona hospital, and sixteen wore more or less seriously injur­ ed. None escaped without injury. Lake Swallows Up a Family. On one of the Bass islands, in Lake Erie, has lived n family named Robson. A young child died. Preparations were made to convey "the remains to the Ca­ nadian mainland. The entire family, with the hired man, set out in a small boat. The tout has been found badly battered and tills leads islanders to believe that the little craft wa* jammed to pieces by an ice floe nnd that the funeral party went down to death in'the lake. Doable Killing in Kansas. ’ A double killing took place at Galena, Kan. Harvey Brooks was shot and killed by Flossie Riley, a notorious negress. Later William 'Bullington, a son of ex­ Marshal R.

On the way to the station Bul­ lington shot Barker in the groin, produc­ ing m serious but not fatal wound, nnd was himself shot twice by Barker, dying Instantly. Nesignation of Bulgarian Cabinet. Tite Bulgarian cabinet has resigned, .owing, it is believed, to the discontent aroused by the adherence of Stoiloff, tbe premier, to the schemes for Macedonian autonomy, which arc considered to be an­ tagonistic to Bulgarian aspirations for obtaining predominant influence in Mace­ donia.

Two men were burned to death, a third was dragged out with bis feet burned nearly off and will probably die. and four other gwrsons were severely, but not fatally, injured.

But little <s known scien­ tifically alxmt the curing of 'tobacco. I tried last year, when in Florida, to find out from tho Cubans why they had certain processes in curing the leaves. They had exact methods for proceeding, nnd they knew what the results would be, but they did not know why they did It. 1t was because their fathers had done It before them. This matter of ferments in tobacco is a very Interesting question. We know that fermentation in the silo reduces the supply of nitrogen, and we know that in cooking food composed largely of protelds, or nltrogeaous matter, a loss is sustained from a feeding point of viewr-, but in tobacco curing we know comparatively little; that is, whether we want to retain or dispose of tbe ni­ trogen.

There Is natural adaptability of tbe orchard for peas aside from the fact that tbe pea roots increase nitrogen In the sail. The pea must be sown early, ami therefore the plowing Is done when It does not Injure tbe tree roots. Then the broad leaves of the pea shade the soil and apparently absorb enough mois­ ture at night to keep the plant fresh and growing. Then after the peas are harvested tbe hog* can be turned in to eat what have been scattered In bar­ renting. If the hogs are left without ring* in their noses they will root over tbe surface soil and thus cover what ex­ crement they have dropped. This with continued extra feeding In the orchard is the best way to enrich it The Live Stock Journal says with much emphasis and witb truth that ‘•the meat of all animals is affected by the food they eat; the ducks taste fishy that live on fish; beechnut* bacon from pigs fed on beechnut* has tbe finest fla­ vor, and hogs allowed to feed on stink­ ing, filthy slops and on dead animals must produce meat that is unfit for hu­ man food. In this laud of abundant food we should feed sound, clean, b<?althy food and fresh, clean slop or clean water.” OCCURRENCES DURING PAST WEEK.

Wheat bran nnd wheat.middlings are pre-eminently milkmakers in tbe opinIon of Prof. Hills. ‘ He beJIeve* them absolutely safe when fed In any possi­ ble quantities. They carry considerable percentages of protein, nnd. at ruling prices, are in every way desirable dairy feeds. Cornmeal he considers economi­ cal acrording to how It is fed. Some­ times cornmeal may be used to advan­ tage In n dairy ration. Some fault 1* to be found, however, with the extent of Its use. It is wiser to feed corn In the form of a silage rather than to pluck and grind the ear. If. however, the sil­ age is deficient in corn. It may be sup­ plied in the shape of meal. Indeed, up to the limit of making the ration too heating, it may sometimes be an ad­ vantage to add cornmeal to the ration even when the silage Is well eared, but more particularly because it tends to better tbe grain of butter. ' Thinning Fruit. The practicability of thinning fruit and it* feasibility from n commerciAl 8taiiai>olnt have been pretty well •dem­ onstrated In the last few years. Mr. John Craig reports. In the publications of the (Canadian) Central Experiment­ al Farm, some results In thinning peaches and pimps which corroborate the notes given from others. He con­ cludes that, when a large crop of fruit is set, thinning jienches is highly re­ munerative for the following reasons: 1. It increases the weight of the yield. 2. It largely iucrense* the size of tbe fruit. 3. It reduces the numl>er of ma­ tured seeds, thereby considerably les­ sening the drain ou the vitality of the tree. 4. It renders the crop less liable to rot. Thinning plums likewise proved altogether worth while. Road Will Be Extended. The’committee which purchased tbe I. & L. M.

Fire caused the explosion of a tank in the distilling room of tbe Burrell Chem­ ical Company nt Manistique and burned the building to the ground. The effective work'of the-fire company saved the en­ gine room* nnd other adjoining buildings. E. Burrell, foremen, and Morton Scan­ lan, an employe, were badly burned. Los* estimated nt $15,000.

Agppcillo ha* offended several time*. A copy of the instructions sent to Gen.

This knowl­ edge of the President’s forbearance, it i* believed. Is responsible for the defiant at­ titude of the Filipinos at Manila and Iloilo. It bos also come to light that Agoncillo attempted to get the Cuban nnd Porto Rican delegations now in Washing­ ton to act with him in opposition to the United States. Advices from Manila say. the Filipino congress at MhIoIo* passed a resolution expressing confidence in Aguinaldo and empowering him to declare war at any time aud for any purpose against the Americans or any one else.

Johnson denounced the pol­ icy of expansion and advocated the aban­ donment of the Philippines to any fate • that might overtake them. In .bin reply to Johnson Congressman •'! Dolliver characterised as little better than traitors the men who were now firing encouragement to the insurgents in the Philippines, and declared,that if it should fruit* of Admiral Dewey's great victory it would be due to the almowt treasonable action of member* of the Senate and the House of Representative*. Johnson stat­ ed Dolliver's replies went not satisfac­ tory, and demanded to know direct whetbc/ or not Dolliver favored the subjection, of the Filipinos by force.

In an interview with Prof. Benham, the magnetic healer, the question was asked, ‘‘Prof, what is your theory of the therapeutic action of animal’mag­ netism as applied by you in curing diseases anti why and how does it cure diseases?” “why, my dear sir, that question is easily answered. It is this, we all must acknowledge that electric­ ity is life; every motion, every thought, every word is electric force through the nervous system; now we also kuow find that wherever we find electricity we magnetism and wherever we find mag­ netism we find the two forces of mag­ netism, the. positive and negative. Now in perfect health we find the posi­ tive and negative forces in a state of eautlibrium or a perfect balanced con­ dition and in the diseased condition to be the most potent agent to bring about an equilibrium or balanced condition of thost* forces, ana when that is done you have moved the cause and cured the diaeaac, and employing animal or human magnetism you have employed only a natural law to re­ store what has been deranged by a violation of some natural or God law.” �LEGISLATIVES.

Running swiftly behind it was u through north-bonnd passenger train from Chicago, the trainmen of which supposed they had as usual a clear track ahead of them. As they turned a curve just a lit­ tle south of Dodge Center the passenger train dashed full speed into the.rear of the runaway freight.

Mr. Burton (Rep., O.).. chairman of the River and Harbor Com­ mittee. called up the riveg and harbor bill. The House went through tlie form df go­ ing Into committeo in ardor to put the river nnd harbor Uli under consideration. The committee thejj rose and the House «t 4:35 p. m. sdjourned.* During almost the entire morning hour the Senate had under discussion the policy of thio coun­ try to be pursued in the Philippine Isl­ ands. Mr. Berry (Ark.), in a spi^ch upon the resolution offered by Mr. Vest, dis­ cussed the policy of expansion. An at­ tempt by Mr. Bgcon (Ga.) to secure a vote upon his resolution which, in brief, declares, that the United States Govern■ ment will not make war upon n people seeking for their freedom, precipitated, a lively debate, which waa participated in by Mr. Platt (Conn.) and Mr. Teller (Colo.). No action on the resolution* was taken. A bill was passed ar the opening of the Senate session granting extra pay -to the officer* and men of the temporary force of Lhe navy—two months' extra pay to those who served beyond the limits of the United States and one month’s pay Jp thp»c who served within the UnitW Stale*. ’ The House entered upon the considera­ tion of the river and harbor bill on Wed­ nesday. andzmade rapid progress. Fifty of the eighty-eight pages of the bill bad been completed when the Hon»e adjourn­ ed. The bill appropriates directly about $T!.500,000 and authorizes contracts to the extent of $18,000,000 additional. The general debate was unusually brief. Its feature was a speech in opposition to the UH bjr )fr. Hepburn of Iowa. Practically the only amendment adopted was one striking out -an appropriation of $230,000 fur a channel from Galveston to Texas City, Texas. Mr. Rawlins (Utah) ad­ dressed the Senate upon the Vest anti­ expansion resolution Mr. Lindsay (Ky.> offered a resolution declaring that terri­ tory not a part of the continent of North America shall not be admitted into the Federal Union as a State' or States. Dur­ ing Mr. Rawlins' speech a message was received from the House transmitting the army reorganization bill. It was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs. At ’ the conclusion of Mr. Rawlins’ *pe<>ch the Bacon resolution was laid before the Sen­ ate. Mr. Sullivan (Miss.) then offered his own resolution ns a substitute for the Bacon resolution. Senators Teller and Hoar were the speakers in the executir.e session of the Senate. Mr. Teller made a set speech in support of the treaty, and Mr. Hoar replied, A notable speech wna made in the Sen- . ate on Thuraday by Mr. Spooner of Wis­ consin. He took for his Jext the anti-expunsion resolution offered by Mr. Vest, but did not confine himself clowely to that proposed declaration of policy. The ex­ ecutive session of the Senate was merely a continuation of the legal a rguinea t which started with Senator Spooner'i 8|»eoch. in the open Senate. T2.. Tlie river and harbor bill, carrying slightly more than $20,000,900, passed the House by a vote of 160 to 7. A bill was passed to pay the heirs of John Smith $1,900 in satis­ faction of n judgment against Gen. John IL Brooke for trespass and false impris­ onment while he' was lieutenant colonel of the Third infantry in 1869. The controversy in the Senate over the rote upon the various resolutions inter­ pretive of the peara treaty took un acute turn late on Friday. The opj>osition to a vote first came from the friends of the treaty, who held to the theory that if could l>e ratified without eonipromise. Those who apparently were then willing that a vqje should be taken that day. held an opposite view and absolutely refused to agree to a time for taking a vote. The contest 'occurred in the executive session. The next hour and a quarter was spent in a vain endeavor on the one side to get an agreement to a date for a vote upon the resolutions and on the other in a more successful effort to bring the day’s sesaipn to a cluse without allowing anything to bo accomplished In that direction. For more than five hours the Senate in open session listened to argument* in opposition to ex­ pansion an«i in opposition to the ratifica­ tion of the treaty of peace. The speaker* were Mr. Money (Miss.) and Mr. Daniel (Vn.). Mr. Hale (Me.) presented the con­ ference report on the diplomatic nnd con­ sular appropriation bill, and it was agreed to. Most of the time of the House was consumed in filibustering against relief bills on the private calendar. The filibus­ ter was finally successful and the House adjourned without taking up the bills.

"I am glad to find this, though— glad to know that I did not give my love unsought." Belle stole away silently, leaving her with her thoughlb of other days. A des­ perate plan was forming in her daring young brain. That night, after the others were fast nsdeep, she sat by her desk in the privacy n( her’-chamber. It was a sober, thoughtful face which rested iu the pink palms, as she leaned her elbows upon the d<-*k, and her eyes were very dreary. "Perhaps he hates me because I look like Auntie,” she mured.

She stole across the wide hall, opened her aunt’s door noiselessly, and stepped in. The gas was still burning, and the spinster had fallen asleep in her easy chair, her hand resting upon the previous valentine, which had solved a mystery of her life. There was a smile about her patient mouth, and traces of tears upon her faded cheeks.

The original is a piece' of silk a foot square, on which is woven a likeness of Lincoln in black surrounded by a number of symbolical ob-' jects and patriotic inscriptions, some of them iu colors. An inscription in the mar­ gin in minute letters reads: “Jordan Tchapp, Basle, Switzerland, 1860.” This seems io indicate that it was woven in Basle, and if It was it is possible there are other copies in existence. Mrs. Shepard herself knows almost nothing of its his­ tory. Jt was a present from some unknown’person to her father, Peter S. Hoff­ man. twenty-five years ago; aud both donor and recipient have now passed away without leaving any clew whatever to its further history. It consists, as is sug­ gested, of three vertical bands of heavy silk, on the middle of whidh is all the pic­ torial part. This band is white and the other two bands are black, indicating that the work was in memory of Lincoln’s death. “Now I’ll post it before my courage fails,” she said, as she ran down to the •letter box. The postman came presently, nnd the act was beyond recall. The next morning—Valentine’s Daydawned ns clear and beautiful ns many ardent hopes wore before the white-doved envelopes had ceased their rounds. John Hanson sat by bls office fire, with the discontent which always returned with each anniversary of the day. The door opened, aud the offlbe boy entered with n knowing grin upon his amused face, to hand the merchant a large envel­ ope covered with cooing doves! "Valentine, sir?” he said questionlngly. “What if it is? Get out of here," growled his master, and he left the room in double quick time. As soon as he was alone John Hanson opened the envelope carefully, although he deliberately broke the two doves which formed the seal. The first object that met his eyes was his own offer of mar­ riage, made twenty years qgo—how sen­ timental it was! Yet it moved his heart strangely. .. ______ explanation—that was clear enough, yet he could hardly understand It. It took him some time to connect the two. and to realize just what it all meant to him. Then he sprang to hi? feet in a very youthful way. ran hjs fingers through his hair until it resem­ bled porcupine's quills, and danced, actu­ ally waltzed around the room, until bls coat tails stood out straight, and the office boy, peering in. told his fellows that the "boss was going mad. sartin, crazy as a March hare." , Seizing his hat he dashed into the outer room, where Leon was nt work at long rows of figures. . "Put that up," he commanded, as he stopped beside him. "Get your hat aud come with me." Leon obeyed in wonder, and the enra soon left them near his own home. His uncle hurried him by. nnd only stopjM*d when they reached Mr. Preston’s gate. “There!" he cried, facing him for an excited second. "Cali me what you please. An old fool is no worse than a young one. I suppose. Give yourself to Miss Belle as a valentine if you want to, but remem­ ber you won’t have all of my money.

That was all that she heard as he clos­ ed the door, nnd run back to IxMin. John Hanson had returned the lost val­ entine again. What passed in that little room in n problem that curiosity may not solve, but LINCOLN AS A LAWYER. Lincoln had certain rules of guidance ns a lawyer that some of our disciples of Blackstone might profitably copy after to-day. In some notes niude for a law lecture in 1850 he says: ‘■Discourage litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. Point out to them how the nominal winner is often a real loser—in fees, expensM and waste of time. As a i>eacemaker the lawyer has a superior oppor­ tunity of being a good man.

We shall not take your case, but will give you a little advice for which we will charge you nothing.

He hnd a way of putting things in telling nuggets. A few of his many notable saying» are the following: Let none falter who thinks he is right. If slavery is not wrong, then nothing is wrong. With malice toward none, and charity for all. Come what will, I will keep my faith with, friend and foe. There is no grievance'that is a fit object of redress by mob law. .

No man is good enough to govern an­ other without the other's consent. , Gold is good In its place, but living, patriotic men are better than gold. For thirty years I have been a temper­ ance man, and am too old to change. I believe this Government cannot per­ manently enduro half slave and half free. Nowhere in the world is presented a government of such liberty and equality.

The slide was a quarter of a mile long and 400 feet wide. A relief train, bearing doctors from Denver, reached the scene soon after the accident, and it had hardly come to a stop tefore a second slide came crashing down behind it. Another snowslide on Mount Elbert, near Leadville, swept away the cabin of William Manning, an aged miner, and buried him under tons of debris. The enormous quantity of snow in the moun­ tains this winter accounts for the snow­ slides, which are unprecedented at this time of the year. Mountain trails and railroads are hopelessly blockaded, and many oCtbe outlying mining camps can be reached only by men on snowshoes. Pro­ visions are becoming scarce in many towns, and serious results are feared If the roads are not soon opened up. A suj>ply train reached Breckinridge after a hazardous trip, and the citixens were compelled to ahovel the snow off the track nt the finish. The train included several freight cars loaded with hoy, grain, coal, beef, flour nnd groceries suffi­ cient to last about two weeks. It took nine hours to make the run from Como to Breckinridge—thirty-four miles. At Leadville the supply of*coal is,so small that a forced shut-down of mines and smelters is threatened.

It has been thought that black hulled oats had not only a greatej amount of bull, but that It was also coarser and rough­ er than white hulled oats. But there are some comparatively new varieties with white bulls that are as coarse and rough as barley hulls. Most new kinds of oats originate In cold or at least cool climates. If they are also moist, a* Ireland and Scotland are. the hulls will be large but not rough. The roughest hulled oats have their origin In Nor­ way, -Sweden aud Russia.

They In an interview with Prof. Benham, the magnetic healer, the question was asked,‘‘Prof,'what is your theory of the therapeutic action of animal mag­ netism as applied by you in curing diseases ana why and how does it cure diseases?” ‘‘Why, my dear sir, that question is easily answered, it is this, we all must acknowledge that electricity is life; every motion, every thought, every word is electric force through the nervous system; now we also know that wherever we fipd electricity we find magnetism and wherever we find mag­ netism we find the two forces of mag­ netism, the positive and negative. Now in perfect health we find the posi­ tive and negative forces in a state of Suilibrium or a perfect balanced contion and in the diseased condition we find them in an unbalanced state, and animal magnetism has been found to be the most potent agent to bring about an equilibrium or balanced con­ dition of those forces, and when that Is done you have removed the cause and cured the disease, and employing animal or human magnetism you have employed only a natural law to re­ store what has been deranged by a violation of some natural or God’s LOCAL BRIEFS.

PEACE WITH SPANISH Ballot in Executive Session Result*: Yeas 57; Nays 27. the Ballot—President Stays Up at Night Awaiting Manila Dispatches. Am a’ result of the fighting at Manila Saturday night and Bunday afternoon, it is conservatively estimated that the Fili­ pinos lost nearly 5,000, of which 2,000 were slain. They were slaughtered by the American fire, which was both deadly and accurate. In the engagement there were involved 33,000 men, of which num­ ber 13,000 were Americana and 10,000 Mtfres. Although the losa to the Fili­ pinos was heavy, there was sustained by the American forces a loss of fifty killed and at least 150 wounded. Of the latter there are many whose injuries are not of a serious nature." Most of the American loss was suffered by the Fourteenth in­ fantry, which was pushing (he attacking insurgents back, and in consequence was close to the enemy. 1 The Filipinos resorted to bushwhacking methods throughout, fighting from behind huts, shrubbery and ledges. Dr. Young, formerly quartermaster in the Third ar­ tillery, was’ wounded, captured and bru­ tally murdered, and his body, when recov­ ered, was found to have been horribly mutilated. • . * A message was sent to Maj. Gen. Otis announcing the ratification of the peace treaty nnd instructing him to notify the insurgents of the fact. The receipt of utlicial information had a buoyant effect on the American troops* and officers, and also upon Admiral Dewey and hlx fleet. The effect of the news on the Filipinoa, however, had a corres|K>ndingly depress­ ing effect. Gen. Otis was also told tc follow up his victory vigorously along the ’ lines hr thought best. f.

Ju the ' of soldiers " and rr&ding A bar is in connectiim, and is conspicuous for the absence of obscene language and the “drunks” usually U>be found hanging around a bar on the outside. Yon can read the daily papers while waiting for your luae’h and thus keep up with the world on the outside, play a game of cards with your chums (strictly for fun), drink your beer, and return ^quar­ ters none the worse for tbe visit to the “canteen.” The profits of the place are equally divided among the batter­ ies of the fort-, and go into the “mess fund/* and the table is often laden with good things as a result of the canteen dividend, tbe soldier getting back the profits made off him and at the same time getting a quality of beer that has passed the government in­ spector, instead of the poison stuff sold on the outside merely for profit. If there was no other factor in the case the canteen could very well be dis­ pensed with, but there is another and far more important item to be consid­ ered before we condemn the canteen. Inside'of a mile from the fort there are dozens of saloons, to-many of which the lowest dives of a big city are as a Earadiae. These places are thronged v hundreds of women, both white and black, who have gone to the lowest depths of degradation. These dens have music, singing, 3anci.ng,—in fact everything they ca*i think of to tempt a man inside. Gambling and robbery is curried on in open defiance of law and order, and if a man does not seem inclined to part with his hard earned wages, he is treated to a glass of drugged liquor and wakes up in the street to find himselfr robbed and prob­ ably arrested for being drunk in the street. A large numlwr of soldiers get their beer in an orderly way at the canteen and do not frequent these dives, and as*long as tbe canteens run they will not , but they are going to have it and if they are shut out from the canteen and these dens allowed to run they will go there for want of a better place. Now the question arises, what is the most harmful to a man’s moral char­ acter and also to his health, to go Suietly to the canteen and get the pro­ fs ofhis trade back on the table, or go to these dives where every possible temptation is thrown in hte way, his surroundings of the lowest possible kind, and where he loses the respect of his comrades and the confidence of his superiors? If these societies wish to improve the condition of the soldier, let them drive away these dens, that are like a flock of buzzards, ready to swoop down upon every one within thff grasp of their talons, and then it will be time enough to abolish the canteen, instead of first doing away with the canteen and driving the men into these temptations. If they tjill leave the canteen to the care of the soldier and place their efforts where they are more needed they will do a good work, but to abolish the canteen first would be to defeat the very object they aim to accomplish.

HOME OF BERRIES. Cranberries were first seriously grown in this century, near Cape Cod, and are now exported to Europe and the Indies. , Blueberries are natives of northern Europe, Asia and America. Blackber­ ries we can claim, for they are found only in tb5s country. Whortleberries are a native of EuTope. In the middle ages the berries of the myrtle were eaten, and to-day these berries are called bilberries. Currants, as most persons are aware, come from Corinth. They are a vari­ ety of the grape family. The currants we grow couie from north Europe. Can­ ada and England. In* the early part of the seventeenth century strawberries, which were na­ tive to Europe and North America, were taken in hand and* cultivated with tbe present result. Raspberries belong to Europe and Asiatic Russia. Black mulberries come from Persia. Gooseberries are native iu central Europe ana western Asia. They have always been cultivated in Great Britain,, but not until lately has the rest of Europe appreciated them. “FONT’S” FOR WHEELMEN.

It is fathered by several of tbe leading wholesale liquor dealers in New York, aud their plans are nearly perfect­ ed.

The Nebraska State Board of Agricul­ ture is receiving reports touching the stock losses in the State as a result of the late severe weather. The indications are that much loss has been sustained by both cattle and sheep owners. The weather has been unprecedentedly severe for several weeks, concluding with the recent blizzard. During this period thou­ sands of sheep perished of the cold in all parts of the State. These sheep were principally bands that had been brought iu from the south during the past summer for feeding purposes nnd had not become inured to the rigors of tbe Nebraska win­ ter. In the Senate on Tneaday a bill grant­ ing a right of way tbroiigh Indian Terri­ tory to the Choctaw, Okfahoma and Gulf Railroad Company was pasted. Mr. Spooner of Wisconsin presented the cre­ dentials of Senator-elect Quarles. Mr. Tillman of South Carolina, in accordance* with notice given, addressed the Seriate on the McEnery resolution. Tuesday was tbe first of two days set aside for the consideration of public building bills. The committee had reported seven ty-vight bills for buildings in thirty-five States, authorizing in the ngtrregatc an-expendi­ ture of $14.0GOJ)00. Little or no oppoai- • tion developed and bills were favorably ' acted nj»on almost ns rnpMIy, as they could be read. There was. however, more or less good-natured chaffing throughout the session. As a 'result forty bills, car­ rying or authorizing appropriation* aggre­ gating $11,364,000. hnd been laid aside with fathrable reconimendatious before adjournment was reached.

The treaty of peace with Spain waa ratified by the Senate Monday-afternoon, the vote being 57 to 27, only-tone more than the tweethirds majority required. ,Monday ____________ ___________ was suspension day... in tbe House ami quite a number of bills were pgsM*d. some of them of importance. The census bill- prepared by the Hous*- committee went through by a rote of 147 to 42. The bill differs In several essential features from the Senate bill, particularly in that , it makes the census bureau entirely inde­ pendent of any existing department. A bill waa passed to extend the anti-con­ tract labor laws over the Hawaiian Isl­ ands, and another bill was passed to refer forty-four war claims for stores aud sup­ plies to the Court of Claims. against the department and the packers to the fullest extent, but if he tails to make them good he will have to suffer the consequences, which will no doubt be re­ moval from command nnd possibly a court martini for conduct prejudicial lo military discipline. There will lw no immediate court mar­ tial for Gen. Miles, however, nor will^ he be put on waiting orders, nor will he be transferred to a subordinate command. The President does not intend to relieve hiin of his station as commanding general of the army or otherwise to humiliate him I»ending definite conclusions as to the truth or falsity of hie cluirges. A corre­ spondent asserts that if)Gcn. Miles has any expectation of posing as the perse­ cuted friend of the American soldier he will be disappointed. If the charges are founded on fact the President wants to know it in order to place the responsibil­ ity where it belongs, and he wants to pro­ tect the American soldier from any rep­ etition of tho offense. A court of inquiry Is perhaps the best agency for probing the scandal. It will be composed of mili­ tary men nnd will have sweeping pow­ ers. It can compel testimony tinder oath and it can secure the attendance of mili­ tary witnesses from the ends of the earth. Gen. Miles is also blamed for his news­ paper attacks, because by this publicity he has stimulated European* hostility to­ ward American food protlucts. He has ■ aimed a severe blow at one of the great Industries of the country. Miles bus put a club in the hands of European govern­ ments. and they are using it already. The Government is seeking more just commer­ cial treaties with foreign nations, but they are presenting Gon. Miles’ statements as objections to letting down the bars to American products. Indirectly his charges also affect agricultural products. Secre­ tary Wilson has hnd chemists nt work for some time making an investigation Into the quality of the beef furnished the army, and the results of this inquiry may figure in the proceedings of the inquiry court. Gen. Miles has denied tho authenticity of the interview printed in New York. He said he had not used the language ascrilM-d to him, nnd -did not prepare any interview, typewritten or otherwise. He says the alleged interview was made up from his testimony before the commission, and thnt the reports of regular army offi­ cers were obtained from the commission, nnd not from him. This statement of Gen. Miles apparently disposes of any willful disobedience to the instructions of the President after the Engnn trial not to give out any more interviews. The general's denial of the interview also sav­ ed him his place for the time being, as major general in command of the army. In the Senate on Wednesday the In­ dian appropriation bill, which has «been a pending for several weeks, was completed niid passed. The legislative, executive nnd judicial appropriation bill was taken up. but after twenty-four pages of it bad been disposed of it was laid aside for the day. A few measures of minor impor­ tance were passed. Tbe net result of the work during the two days allotted for the consideration of public building bills in the House was the passage of a’single bill providing for the erection of a bnild$75,000. Sixty-five bills in ail, carrying, or authorizing the expenditure of aboyt ' $12,000,000, were favorably considered in committee of the whole when tbe commil tee rose, but because Rcvenfecn other bills reportixl bad not txim acted upon in committee all efforts to pdvance the bills favorably acted upon in committee were blocked. Mr. Corliss (Rep.) of Michigan called up the Senate bill to • amend tho law requiring ballots for mem­ bers of Congress to Im* written or print­ ed. so as to permit the use of rnaehineii where Authorized by the laws of the State. The bill was passed—94 to 44. Chairman Cannon of the Appropriations Committee of the House, in the course of the general debate on the sundry civil bill on Thursday, sounded a note of warn­ ing against extravagant appropriations, nnd practically served notice thnt neither the shijt subsidy bill nor the Nicaragua canal bill could i»e passed nt this session. The general debate upon the sundry civil bill was not conclude^!. Before it was taken tip quite n number of minor bills were passed by unanimous consent. Throughout its njM>n session the Senate bad under consideration the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill. MANY CATTLE LOST. Deplete -Range Herds. John W. Springer, president of the Na­ tional Live Stock AsscM-iation, has receiv­ ed novices eu advices rrom from Montana, Wyoming Wyoming and Tmm to the otToct that there will be heavy loanee in the vast herds of range cattle. The reports coming in from tbe ranges In all parts of tbe West show very badly for the cattle and other stock which are roaming the plains. People coming into Denver from the south and west say that bunches of cattle are frequently seen wallowing in three and four feet of snow and standing against trees with their back* to the wind. It is getting harder daily for them to obtain any feed for browsing. IF WAR SHOULD COME. AH tbe Volnnteere Could Be Retained Adjt Gen. Corbin said that in case of hostilities with the Filipinoa all the vol­ unteers in the service could be retained under plea of military necessity unless Congress should interfere in their behalf. There are 17,000 United States soldiers there now, 3,000 are afloat and 4,000 more are under orders to go. The armed Fili­ pinos number only 20,000, but they have jungles which are a great advantage. A Wur Department official said it woulji not be difficult to get volunteers for a war in the Philippines, but it would probably take increased pay. New York promoters are interesting Eastern capitalists in a plan which con­ templates the formation of a gigantic com­ bination to control the American soap outfit. With $90,000,000 capital, of which $40,000,000 will be in preferred stock and $50,000,000 be common stock, negotiations are pending for the amalgamation of all the important factoriet ‘a the United - , I During the entire open session oh Fri­ day the Senate had under consideration the legislative, executive and judicial a|H propriation bill. Link- progress was made, the time largely being occupied with de­ bate on minor topics. A bill amending an act to provide for the reimbursement of Governors of State* nnd territories for expeiUM* incurred by them in raising am! equipping the volunteer army in th.* wnr with Spain was reported by Mr. Warren (Wyo.) from the Committee on Military Affairs. The hill went over to l*e printed. Mr. Allen (Neb.) offered a joint resolution proriding for the submission to the Legis­ latures of nn amendment to th«j constitu­ tion providing for the election of United States Senators by direct rote of the |mh>ple. The resolution was laid on the ta­ ble. A »i>ecial message from the Presi­ dent urging action on the Pacific cable wes received. General debate on the sun­ dry civil appropriation bill was conclud­ ed in the House. Tin* speakers during the day touched a variety of topics, but as a rule the debate lacked spirit aud Interest. Mr. Dockery of Missouri, who is at the head of the minority of the Appropriations Committee, re-enforced •«•. Mr. rj. in th‘' revenues; Mr. De * Armond """* of " Missouri. Mr. Gillett of Massachusetts and others discussed tho policy of expansion, nnd Mr. Lentz of Ohio severely criticised the ad­ ministration for exercising clemency in the case of Gen. Eagan. ■ After a gool deal of delmte in the Senate on Saturday, the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill was pass­ ed. A lillldo amend an act entitled. “Au act to reimburse the Governors of State* and Territories for expenses incurred by them in aiding the United States jo raise and organize and supply and equip the volunteer army of the United States in the existing war with Spain" whs passed. The House jMtssed several bridge hilln aud other measures of minor importance and also a joint resolution to give extra payment to laborers and mechanics nt the navy ynrda and naval stations for work performed durin’g the Spanish war in ex­ cess of eight hours i>er day. It then devoted the afternoon to tributes to thememory of the late Representative DiugJey. . Russia sells to other countries 1/500.­ 000,000 eggs a year.

LOUIS NIGHT WATCHMAN IS • OVERPOWERED. Ductus Safe Burglary at the Office of a MHllttg Coap»nj-Bnt Little Booty Obtained-Damas;? I* Late Blizzard Wai Overestimated. A daring safe robbery was committed at the J. B. Bum Milling Company, on North Bfuadwuy, St. Louis. Three masked men forced an entrance into the mill, bound and (ranted the watchman, Alfred Beeman, covered him with revol­ ver*, and then proceeded to blow open the safe. They drilled holes through the top of It, tilled it with gunpowder and exIiloded it with lighted fuse. The explo­ sion was terrific and nbt only shattered the Immense alvei vault, but wrecked part of the building. Windows and Moors were blown out, the walls shattered and the furnishings of the office- hurled into the street. The explosion violently shook the neighborhood, but the nearest police station being several miles away no offi­ cers responded. The wreck’ was so comidrtc that the robbers fled at once with what little booty they could lay their hands on. about $49. Before departing they heat the watchman and left him in n ht*'piesR condition. The watchman strug­ gled on the floor for an hour before- he could release himself, and then telephoned the robltery to the police. REVIVING SPRING TRADE. Damage by the Late Blizzard Proves to Be Less than Expected. • Bradstreet’s says: “Following the long­ continued cold wjive, culminating in Heavy snow and sleet storms, and inclement weather'generally throughout'nearly all sections of the country, come reports of reviving spring trade and of efforts to as­ certain the extent to which material in­ terests hare suffered. All things consid­ ered, the damage so far indicated, while serious in some sections, has proved less Ann might hare been expected, in view of the severity of the vhdta'tion. Excep­ tion is, of course, made tn the case of the winter wheat crop, from which trustwor­ thy reports ns to damage are not forth­ coming at this curly period of the year. From the South feme reports of more serious damage, particularly to the grow­ ing fruit and vegetable crops. Even here, however, permanent damage, aside fronr . the reported loss of the unpicked cotton, seems to be centered in the States of Georgia, Florida and Louisiana.” GREEK BANDIT IS MURDERED. New York Peddlers Unite to Kill a Man Who Persecuted Them. Surrnntos.Ferrontos. a Greek flower peddler, was murdered in New York un­ der peculiar circumstances. It is claimed ho was the noted bandit “Soterar De Sarautas," for whom the Greek Government offers 5,009 francs alive or dead. John Zegweas. a florist, who did the shooting, confessed, involving two other flower sell­ ers, Peter Mnnaekis and John Mikolas. Both were arrested. Ferrontos was shot five tinn^s by Zegweas. Coroner Hart learned that Ferrontos had been hound­ ing Zegweas, whom hr accused of being a counterfeiter. He learned that Ferron­ tos exacted tribute from the Greek ped­ dlers who worked for several padrunes and that they were in terror of him. It was decided to get rid of Ferrontos and Zcgweas was delegated to kill him. Life Sentence for Train Robber. A. L. Jennings, graduate of the law school of West Virginia University and former prosecuting attorney of Canadian County, Oklahoma, was convicted of train roblk-ry in the Federal Court nt Okla­ homa City and sentenced to life imprison­ ment in the Federal penitentiary in Co­ lumbus, Ohio. Jennings was convicted of the robbery of a Rock Island express train at Chickasha. I. T. The train was robbed at midday and a trainman was mortally' injured by the robbers. The gang of which Jennings was the leader has been charged with numerous hold-ups and robberies. Cat Carrie* Fcariet Fever. ’ Scarlet fever has bron epidemic in the city of Findlay, Ohio, and is spreading despite the work of the health board. The children of William Brown were stricken a few days after the arrival of a strange cat in the household. Investi­ gation revealed the fact that the cat had broken out like a child with the fever. It la believed that the cat spread the disease. Robbers !■» Brice Homestead. The residence of the late Calvin S. Brice, at Lima, Ohio, was robbed during the absent# of Mrs. Mcily, mother of Mrs. Brice. Every room was ransacked, doors smashed in and much damage was done. The robbers were evidently in search of the valuables shipped from N»w York after the death of Mr. Brice. Btcpbens Is Found Guilty.

With the exception - of a few articles of jewelry "“d clothing, nothing was saved by the tenants. The building was worth $30,000 and is a total loss.

DOC TRAM ROAD OPENED, Advices from the Klondike region are that Dawson’s first dog tram road is in successful operation. It runs from Daw­ son to the forks of El Dorado and Bo­ nanza creeks, and thence up Bonanza, a total distance of nearly twenty miles. Thirty thousand dollars were expended in building the road and placing bridges over Bonanza Crock. The train company charges 1 cent a pound for all freight passing over the road.

AMERICAN WHEAT iN SPAIN. torts’* Grandson Killed Himself. It is now definitely known that Prince Alfred of Saxe-Coburg, grandson of Queen Victoria, committed suicide at Me­ nu, Austria, whither he had been taken from Berlin and placed in a private sani­ tarium. The cause of the Prince’s’re­ moval from Berlin was a gambling scan­ dal compromising him gravely. He shot himself in the bead. the wound proving fatal after several days. It was given out by the family that the prince was suf­ fering from brain trouble.

He also stated that at no time did one word or line go from him cither to Mnnik or the'American peace commissioners which did not place ns the first consideration the welfare and the rights of .the Filipinos: To this he added that “no imperial de­ signs lurk in the American mind.” In hix address President McKinley re­ viewed at length the Philippine situation, saying that the country must bravely loce the new issue and deride it for the best interests of the islanders hs well as the people at home.

Until a late hour the crowds remained in front of the Elyxec. On the boule­ vards the greatest emotion was displayed. Parisians heard the news as they were leaving the. places of iMnnxeinent, but were utterly incrednlous at first, so sud­ den and unexpected wax the calamity. All the streets in the vicinity of the Elysee filled up with private carriages, whose ■occupants waited anxiously for further information. At 12:30 an order w’as is­ sued that no one should be admitted to the palace. In the present disorderly condition of public affairs, with justice paralysed and revolution menacing, it is not remarkable that the people of Paris at first took it for granted that Faure was poisoned, but there seems to be no doubt that he died a natural though sudden death. He was elected president Jan. 17, 18951 He had been minister of marine in the Dupuy cab­ inet, and was elected president following the resignation of M. Caalmir-Perier, president ad interim and the successor of M. Carnot, who was killed by an anarch­ ist assassin. Ax his term would not have, expired until 1902, the French presidents being elected for seven years, it will be incumi>ent upon the two chnml»erri to unite at once and elect his successor.

The reading of the sundry civil bill was continued. The appropriationfor the deep waterways commission waa increased from $00,600 to $90,000 on mo­ tion of the Appropriations CommitUte. Af­ ter completing ten additional pages of the bill the.committee rose and the House adjourned. A bill extending the “cordial appreciation" of Congress to MizS Helen Miller Gould for her patriotic services during the recent war and providing that the President should present to her a gold medal was passed by the Senate. A bill was passed providing tar the adinixxratf-to the naval academy as a cadet of Oscar W. Deignan, one of the Merrimac heroes. The army reorganization bill was re­ ported to tpe Senate on Thursday.

There was practically no opposition to the flames after they had started. The deep snow and a lack of water prevented the naval forces and the fire department from working effectively. It is supposed that defective insulation of an electric light wire started the flames, as they were first seen in a part of the building where there -was no furnace. The main building is 'four stories in height, and has two great towers. Ou the first and second floors were many val­ uable machines and tools. The third floor was used os a pattern shop, where dupli­ cates of machinery and the more delicate parts of a warship were manufactured and finisbril. On the fourth floor the patterns Jhemselves were stored. There were tin- pattern.-, for the engines of the ■ Chicago, the Raleigh, the Cincinnati, the Maine and many other vessels of war.

' ‘ BLOW FOR THE CANAL, The national House Wednesday npparcntlv • settled the fate of the Nicaragua canal bill in this Congress by refusing to override the decision of the chair in com­ mittee of the whole, when the chair held that the canal bill offered as q,n amend­ ment by Mr. Hepburn was out of order. The friends of the Nicaragua bill were very confident thnt they would triumph, but after four hours of debate the chair was sustained, 127 to 100. The debate throughout the day was exceedingly spir­ ited, and in the end a majority of the. members -refused to override the House rules. No record is made of the vote in committee of the whole. Party lines were not adhered to, the division in favor and in opposition to sustaining the chair’s de­ cision being about equal ou both sides of the political aisles. ’ Chairman Hepburn's effort to have the House adopt the bill as an amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill failed, a correspondent asserts, not because the majority of the House did not favor the Nicaraguan cnnal. but because a majority of the members preferred to have the bill defeated rather than to adopt the expe­ dient of overriding one of the oldest and most valuable rules of the House. Advocates of violating the rule under­ took to justify their proposed action on the ground that the Speaker would not allow the Nicaraguan canal bill to come up iu any way in which it could be dispos­ ed of under the. rules in nn orderly man­ ner. JChis argument did not influence enough meh to override the very clear statement of the rule made by Represent­ ative Hopkins of Illinois, who was In the chair as chairman of the committee of.the whole House.

To do this was quite expensive, as a private teachar had to be brought from a distance. Col William Linn, who lived near where now stands the beautiful city of Louisville, Ky., had employed for Isis two little sons and several of h» wealthy neighbors a tutor, who instructed them at their own home*. One Saturday, which waa a holiday, the five boya obtained permission from their parents and teachers to go a short distance from home to hunt, this being almort the only amusement of these forest-children. They were all quite young, being between the ages of nine and thirteen years. After hunting all day, these hardy little fellows concluded to encamp for the night on the banks of the Ohio, although they had not asked leave to do so. The place they selected was a wide scope of bottom-land, covered with he&vy forest trees,-and with ponds which were frequented with great numbers of swans, geese and ducks. . A snow fell during the night, and in the morning these venturesome children found themselves surrounded by a party of In­ dians, who had lain near in ambush and who now captured them. Young Broshcar, one of the little party, being a very fleet runner, attempted toes­ cape, but was overtaken and secured with the rest. The eldest of the Ikyra—Henry Linn—also tried to rug, but being fleshy and clumsy, besides being incumbered with some game, which he had thrown over his shoulder, stumbled and fell, and waa in­ stantly seized by a tawny warrior, who called him, in the Indian tongue: “The Lit­ tle Bear;'* while the swiftness of Broshear entitled him to the name of “The Black Elk." . The Indians now began their march, ac­ companied by their young captives. Cross­ ing the Ohio river they were taken to a vil­ lage in northern Indiana, distant many days* journey. Oh the way, these brave, hardy sons of the wilderness won the favor of their new maatrs by their patient endurance. .At the Indian village the reception usual­ ly extended to prisoners awaited theni, the women aud children gathered around the white boys with shouts of exultation, load­ ing them with reproaches, pelting them with earth and stones and heaping all man­ ner of indignities on them. But 'the sturdy little fellows were pre­ pared for all this and more. For a lung time they submitted quietly, but'at length the Linn blood waa roused, and the youngest of the brothers, losing all patience, singled out a dusky Indian boy, who had struck him in tho face, and dealt him a blow that knocked him down. This exploit delighted the savages, for they admire bravery more than anything else, and they applauded with loud shouts and laughter. Another champion assailed our hero, who, springing upon the juvenile anvagc, deliv­ ered blows, kicks and scratches with a vigor that delighted the spectators. . The white boys now all longed to partici­ pate in the fight, and soon joined their com­ panion. These heroic* lads fought against odds, but displayed such prowess that they soon cleared the ring, and were rescued from further annoyance by their captors. Such brave youths soon became favorites. Bold and bright-eyed, :au*cularand healthy, equal to the Indian boys in all athletic sports, while vastly superior to them in in­ telligence, they were readily adopted into the tribe ard domesticated in families. Young Wells, one of the boys, was adopt­ ed by an Indian chief residing in a distant town, whither he was taken, and thus, when only nine yeans old, was separated from his friends and companions, whom he He remained with the Indians all his life, and when he grew to manhood married an Indian girl, water to the celebrated chief “Little Turtle." The other four boys adapted themselves so completely to their new mode of life, and seemed so well satisfied with the employ­ ments and sports of the savage youths— fishing, hunting, racing and riding Indian ponies—that all suspicion in regard to them was quieted, and they were allowed to roam about unguarded. ■ But these valiaat little heroes were only “biding their time." With a watchfulness that never slept, they sought an opportun ity to make their escape. Their perseverance waa .regarded at last. In the autumn—the Indians' favorite hunt ing season—they set out on their annual sunt, roaming far off from their homes, leaving'the village in the care of the old women and children. The four white boys, who always stayed together, found themselves one day at a .' camp at some distance from the village en­ gaged in fishing, with nn companions save an old Indian and a squaw. The long-sought opportunity for escape waa at hand. Evad­ ing their two unsuspicious guards, the boya, pursuing the nearest course, at one<•truck through the wilderness for home. Traveling by night, and lying concealed dur­ ing the day. living upon wild fruits and nuts, after weeks of self-denial and patient en­ durance, they reached the Ohio river, oppo­ site Louisville. Having no way of crossing the river, which here at the head of the falls is wide and rapid, they tried to attract the atten­ tion of the people on the other side, but these good settlers feared the signals were an Indian decoy, and paid no attention to them. The poor children now marched up the shore of the river nearly six miles, and at a place near the 8ix-Miies island constructed a raft, but it was too frail to carry them all, •nd the oldest Linn boy, being an expert gwimmer, plunged into the water, and pushed the clumsy craft before him, while • pis companions paddled with poles. । About this time tho Indians, who had ' been pursuing them, reached the shore they , had just left, and fired at them, yelling loudly. । Young Linn waa nearly frozen by his long stay in the water, which at that season was j very cold, but when they reached the shore he was restored by the skillful remedies ap­ plied. । It is needless to say that the boys were hailed with delight by their friends, and > ever after regarded by their young com- I panions ha 1 pan ions as heroes. — Eliza R.

A laundreea in Paris had her hair caught in machinery belting, and her entire scalp, from the nape of her neck to her eyebrows, was torn off.

When the hair had been shaved from it, the physician ad­ justed the scalp upon the woman’s bead, to which it has since naturally attached itself. - CURIOUS ODDS AND ENDS.

When the ground Is slightly frozen a moderate mulch of litter of leaves may be placed.over the plants.

So much mischief can be done by ap­ plying manures of the wrong kind in orchards, says the Agriculturist, that I doubt If we do not lose more by ma­ nuring than by neglecting to marfure. Fruit trees do not require at any time barnyard manures, or their equivalent. What they require la a supply of Inor­ ganic food. You can do uo better for apple trees than to supply them with coal ashes In which there is a liberal admixture of wuod ashes. The coal ashes loosen the soil; the wood ashes furnish the fertilizer. If you can get a supply of old mort’ir you have just the thing you need. A mixture of lime aud salt, when so mixed as to leave no free salL la excellent for all fruit trees. AU such manures should be applied as a top-dressing. A peach or plum or­ chard needs nothing Nftter than swapip muck or earth from tbe woods, with a slight addition of phosphate and pot­ ash. ■ . If barnyard manure Is applied at any time. It should be thoroughly decom­ posed and applied as a top-dressing. Such manure, if placet! about the roots, when planting a pear or apple tree, will kill It. Grapes, of course, want phos­ phates and potash. They will also refpozd to a free application of Jlquld manures during their periods of rest, both in winter and in midsummer.

If you use barnyard manure In raspberries it should be thoroughly comminuted with the soli as a coujpost. In fact, I prefer to compost every manure before It Is placed on my gar­ dens. Equally important as the manure Is the mulching of our fruit trees and bushes of all sorts. A great -mistake, says Medical Class­ ics, Is sometimes made in ventilating cellars aud milk houses. The object of ventilation Is to keep the cellars cool and dry, but this object often falls of being accomplished by a common mis­ take, and Instead tbe cellar Is made both warm and damp. A cool place ‘should never be ventilated, unless the air admitted Is cooler than the air within, or Is at least as cool as that or a very little warmer. Tbe warmer tbe air the more moisture It holds lu sus­ pension. Necessarily the cooler the air the more this moisture Is condensed and precipitated. When a cool cellar is aired on a* warm day the entering air'being In motion appears cool, but as It fills the cellar the cooler air with which It Ix'comes mixed chills it, the moisture Is condensed, and dew Is de­ posited on the cold walls, aud may often be seen running down them in streams. Then the cellar is damp and soon becomes moldy. To avoid this the windows should only be ojtened at night, and late—the last thing before retiring. There Is no need to fear that the night air Is unhealthful; it Is as pure as the air of midday, nnd is really drier. The windows should be closed before sunrise in the morning, hnd kept closed and shaded through the day. If the air of the cellar is damp it may be thoroughly dried by placing in It a peck of fresh lime In an open box. All tbe nut-growing trees do bpst " ben planted where they are to stand permanently, and all must be planted In the fall, ns once tbe nuts become thoroughly dried their vitality-Is de­ stroyed and they refuse to germinate.

Tbe time ban now arrived when a cable In the Pacific must extend ns far an Manila, touching at tbe Hawaiian Inlands and Guam on the way. Two methods of establishing this cable communication at once suggest thomselves.

Further deep sea sound-' Ings must be taken west of the Hawaiian Inlands before the boat route for the cable can be selected. Under these circumstances It becomes a paramount necessity that measures ahotild be taken before the close of the present Congress to provide such means as may seem suitable for the estab­ lishment of n cable system. 1 recommend tbe whole subject to the careful consideration of the Congress and to such prompt action ns may seem advisable.

There is no better way by which to improve our methods of writing ad­ vertising than' by making a careful *tudy of the ads. of successful mer­ chants and profiting by their example. The magazines provide rich oppor­ tunities for this study, and a merchant can well afford to purchase them if-for xw> other purpose thiin to study the Jbest methods of publicity. And while moling carefully the points in these advertisements, it is well to remember that space in these magazines costs a large amount of money, and therefore She best possible effort ip put forth to laecure the greatest results. Among other characteristics of such large advertisers as the Quaker Oats people, Baker’s chocolate, Pears' and ivory soaps, etc., we note first, the continuity—the steady hammering ut the door of the buying public. With these' successful advertisers, the ab­ sence of their ads. would cause almost much comment as the suspension of Abe channel of publicity itself. An dd-fashioned clock, standing in the corner of the hall, has perhaps ticked atway the hours faithfully for half a century, yet has caused no parlicular comment. By custom and habit vwi rely upon its accuracy, and expect tc aee its cheerful and faithful face when ever we are in the room. We have grown accustomed to it and expect nothing but relialjility therefrom, be­ cause its presence and past reputation •demand our confidence as a right. But let the old clock cease to tick, or 1*41’. without previous warning be re­ moved from its accustomed place, and how quickly we notice it. And tiler, again, after its removal or retirement Xrom service, how quickly we. forget Abe faithful service the old cluck has given for so many years, and transfer our faith and reliance to 'the smart xwv clock upon the mantle, whose brilliant presence and brazen tongue commands our’notice. So it is with advertising. Daily we aee promulgated the simple fact that Ivory soap' "floats:" that Pears’ is *‘bes’t for the babies:” that Armour’s beef extract has “‘that delicious fla­ vor:” that Royal baking powder is absolutely pure” and “greatest of all in leavening strength:” that "Mil­ waukee beer is famous—Pabst has made it sot” that you can “see that hump” when looking at DeLong’s hooks and eyes: thatAj’er makes “the pill that will;” and "ho on. through a long yet distinct list of like sayings. The reader may not notice it particu­ larly at the time, yet so persistently have thev been hammered and pound­ ed into the brains of mankind,through the agency of the eye, that I doubt if there is one person in iwentj- who. when contemplating the purchase of «oap, does not immediately think of Ivory, and probably buys Ivory, not merely because “It floats,” but beoase he is familiar with the name and ".feels acquainted” with it. •Like the clock, however, just the minule the advertiser quits advertis­ ings just that moment the absence of the accustomed publicity causes com­ ment, and the next moment that partic­ ular dealer or that special brand of goods is forgotten for the new one which at once appears to take its place xuid prestige through the channels of advertising. .□Mr. Glasgow has struck the keynote «f this successful individualized ad­ vertising. If I were in his place, I would not take a thousand dollars in cash for his bald head and its connec­ tion with his advertising. It will earn Kim many thousands of dollars, if he keeps it everlastingly before tbe pub­ lic, in the characteristic manner of the ■past. But let him beware of turning ius fane, to the public. While I know S~ the general style of bis talk that » face is genial, kind, trustworthy and honest in its lineaments, yet I saj’ again, with all due respect to Mr. Glasgow, keep your back to ’em— CfecyTl always look for that fringe of hair around the bottom of a white spot, and a pair of ears, but thejwon’t recognize your face—in your ads. I mean. And Mr. Glasgow has struck a hap­ py vein in the simplicity of his statexnents. By their very plainness and lawk of adornment, they attract.

The increasing prevalence of dys­ pepsia has been a matter of the grav­ est concern to the medical profession, and for years leading scientist have been ^experimenting to produce a remedy. Constant effort in this direc­ tion has introduced many prepar­ ation which barely afford temporary relief to sufferers. It remained for Prof. Drake, a chemist of many years experience, to produced a treatment which has proved to be a positive cure for the disease in all of ita manifold forms, which is known as Drake’s Dyspepsia Cure and Nerve Restorer. In order to obviate a common disad­ vantage to sufferers—that of buying medicine which has lain for years in drug stores as must necessarily be the case where all druggist* handle the same article-the manufacturers are placing Drake’s Dyspepsia Cure and Nerve Restorer with a limited number of druggists, consequently you are sure to always receive the treatment fresh, although being put up in tablets and tightl^sealed boxes, it will retain its freshness longer than in any other form. If you are troubled with indigestion, sour stomach, acid fermentation, water brash, headache, sleeplessness, or any form of nervous dyspepsia, call at J. C. Furniss, Central Drug Store, leading druggist of Nashville, and ask for Drake’ Dyspepsia Cure and Nerve Restorer.

On rare oc­ casions a keeper has seen one swallow a lighted cigar, a gimlet, a lady’s purse, a society paper rolled up and ready for mailing, and an old shoe. Bats were a source of annoyance to the vicar and to the parishioners, in Lincolnshire, England, until the vicar’s son found a menus of exterminating them. Observing their habits,.he noted that they, after flying round and round tbe church, and then making a dive, squeezed themselves through a cleft at the top of the west door. Thereupon the ingenious youth made a circular net, using the hoop of a child to spread it upon, aud the result was the killing of 111 bats in an hour and a quarter. “Miss Maja” is the name of a most popular monkey at the zoological gar­ dens of the Prater, in Vienna, and the reason of her-popularity is that she is a perfect cyclist.

She jumps into the saddle without touching the ped­ als. kisses her hand to1 the spectators while waiting the signal to start and then races off at a tremendous pace.

It is the great medical triumph of the nineteenth century; discovered after years of scientific research by the eminent kidney and bladder spec­ ialist.

There was no side road for me to flee to, no opening that would allow me to take to the woods. As my only recourse I drove as far as possible out of the way and then trusted to the farm­ ers to pass single file. But the horse had no idea of submitting to such indignity. lie sniffed the battle from afar and every sniff wm the more inspiring as the noisy caval­ cade approached. He danced on his hind feet, threw himself on the bit and seemed to protrude those rolling eyes of bis. At length it was forced upon me that I must Jet him run. He went away like a racer, my explanation to the terrified girl being that the brute had gone, insane. The buggyswayed and bounded like a rubber ball. I was in constant fear that some projecting limb woulcT decapitate one or both of us. •The buggy top was hung on the branch of a gnarled beach and a scream that I thought meant the diMppearance of her precious scalp wm caused by the seizure of her pic­ ture hat by a rude dogwood that crooked over the roadway. When the horse stopped there was no one in sight, the farmers having been hope­ lessly distanced, but I was so excited that I involuntarily pulled upon him as though he contemplated another dash. As a nat­ ural result, he backed up and kept backing till the buggy capsized in the ditch and the horse came rolling after. Fortunately he fell to one aide, but confused things by kick­ ing and snorting. In time help came and we were exhumed, as disheveled a looking pair of mortals as ever resulted from so brief an experience. I have always consoled myself with The thought that it must have hurt her pride and created a fear in her fond heart that I might not be the particular strong oak to which she could safely cling. At any rate, she married my friendly rival, who always maintained that he had only meant to per­ petrate a joke by lending me a horse that would prevent my paying any particular at­ tention to the companion of my ride. I Stood the defeat with outward grace, though of course I never could recover from the cruel blow, stood up at the wedding, helped them settle in their cozy little home and then went'abroad in search-of heartsease. After two years I was satisfied that I had worked a complete cure and came back with the intention of giving all my old friends a surprise. Dark had fallen when I reached the city and, for some reason, I walked first to the little house of my rival. It wm cheerful with lights and, finding a basement door open, I slipped in with a .view to making the surprise the more dramatic. I encountered no one on the stairway and reached the dining-room to find myself alone, though I could hear voices upstairs. Here was a chance for my prac­ tical joke, and to get even with my rival. 1 had jute piled all the silver in a corner when I heard some one coming. Throwing a shawl from the tete to cove* the plunder, I conceded myself behind the curtains and wm horrified to see titf- entrance of an ath­ letic 206-pounder whom 1. had never seen before, fie wandered about for a ftlBe.without taking particular note of anything, yawned, looked at hi* watch and then went to look after the locking up of the house. About midnight my benumbed aenseabe­ gan to work and I thought of escape. Like a burglar I crept from door to door and then from window to window, but doors and shutters were locked and to break out .would insure my arrest more surely than to break in. Shivering in a cold sweat, imagin­ ing a hand ta hand encounter with that big man who would probably shoot me before ^waiting explanation, I either collapsed or piy mind Mopped, I was aroused by the entrance of a lienutiful young woman in evening dress and opera, cloak who was con­ siderately walking on her dainty tees so as not to distuf-b the household. Before her eyes were accustomed to the light I ap­ proached her tremblingly. "For heaven’s sake!" I quavered, "don’t scream." She went white but her voice was steadier than mine as she told me to take what I wanted and get out. She feared violence if she opposed me or called for help. "But I’m no burglar," I insisted as I threw the shawl from the silver, and her an­ swer wm a contemptuous smile. “Indeed I am not,” I went co. Then I hurriedly told my story and when she closed the door that her silvery laugh might not create too much of a dieturtianee upstairs I knew that I was Mart and had been hearing about me for two yean, such things as she would not flat­ ter me by repeating, and her welcome was chances that I had. She let me out and SCHULZE SOME SPEECH-STATISTICS Many of Mr. Gladstone's speeches, perfect in form and logic, would amount to something like 52,000 words, crowded into one stupendous effort of a little over five hours. A married man calculates that the average woman may be relied on to speak 20,000 words a day (or twice as much as tbe attorney general in a pro­ fessional capacity) and the contents of 140 copies of Tit-Bits in a year. ' A well-known statistician, who was present at an afternoon tea at which ’ there were a dozen ladies, estimated that the conversation wua at the rate of 50,000 words an hour, or at the rate, let us say, of more than a column of Tit­ Bits every minute. A lawyer in good practice, snch as Sir Edward Clarke or Sir Richard Webster, may be said to average 10.­ 000 words a day throughout the entire year; or the stupendbus aggregate of 3,650.000 words a year. This estimate refers only to legal and political speak­ ing. Among public speakers the average rate of delivery is about 140 words a minute. With snch rapid speakers as Mr. Asquith. Lord James, Sir Charles Dilke, and Mr. Bryce, the rate rises at times to 180 to 200 words a minute; and through a long speech these speakers maintain an average of over 160 words a minute, or two and twa-thlrds words every second. Roughly, any one of these speakers crowds 10,000 words into an hour's speech. THE UNITED KINGDOM. Fully 100,000 Inhabitants of London are night*workers.

"Beas, too,” asserted Joe. "Do you s’pose they’ll know who sent themF’ "They’ll have a pretty, idea, and I don’t care if they do!" “I don’t either,’’ echoed Joe. But both boys took care to print the names rudely on tbe cheap yellow envelopes, for their hand­ writing was too well known. Dick Travis, Joe King, Nell Cassidy snd Bessie Brown had been schoolmates and good friends a long time. They were all about the same age, not far on either side of 16, and they lived in a country town where prayer meeting And. Sunday evening services are faithfully attended by the “girls”-and where the “boya” are always at hand, for the benediction, at leaat, and to “see the girla.home.” It had become such a regular thinglor Dick and Joe to.be in wait­ ing kt the door for Nell and Bess that the regular formula of "Can I see you home topight?” had long since been dropped entire­ ly, and each boy merely stepped out nf the line that always formed and stood waiting in the outer dark and offered his arm. There was a shock in readiness for them, therefore, when on the Wednesday evening before Valentine day the two boys, who waited in the line outside, saw Nell and Bess step out and take the arms of two smoothly-crested young strangers who had also accompanied them to church the previous Sunday evening. The boys Were humiliated and eager for revenge. Valen­ tine’s day was dose at hand, and the shop windows were tilled with vulgar and cruel pictures, from which next day they selected the two that were to wipe out their bitter wrong. -’ Meanwhile Nell and Bess were perhaps not altogether to blame. Tbe city boys, who were quite amused by country waysand at­ tracted by the bright-faced girls, had ac­ companied them to church on Sunday, and the evening fend engaged their com­ pany home from Wednesday night prayer meeting. On the way hpine, however, as their es­ corts spoke merrily of the two boys who had been "turned down,” as they called it, the girls did feel rather guilty, but “Mr.” Gregg and "Mr.” Canly were so entertain­ ing 'that they forgot to be very sorry for Joe and Dick, just then, snd perhaps did not yet realize the full m-asure of their cruelty. Then the subject of valentines came up and their ‘•company’’ assured them, banuringly, that they certainly would get valentines, and from their manner both Nell and Bess believed that "present com­ pany” would be the sender* and that they were to expcctlsomething very nice. It is possible' that "Mcsars.” Canly and Gregg really rteant to do something of the sort at the lime, but when next day they goi word from home that they were to be there withput fail for a Saint Valentine’s party on the following evening, they started by the first train and thought no more of Nell and Beas until several days after. Then it was too late. * The two boys were seat "mates, as were also Bess and Neil. When they returned to their desk they found a note folded in Dick’s reader. It was addressed to them both and in the stiff little formality of the third person which was com-idcred highly proper as being authorized by the’"Com­ plete Letter Writer.” "Miss'’Nellie Cassidy and Miss Bessie Brown present compliments to Mr. J.

"Hawfield, Feb. 14, 18— The boys looked at tach other and turned pale. They were invited down there to explain and apologue. Perhaps Mr. Brown and Mr. Cassidy would be on hand to assist in the matter. They stole glances across at tbe girls, but both of them were buried in their books. They must go, of course. Dq was a long, miserable afternoon. When they knocked timidly at the Cassidy door that night and were admitted they were immensely relieved to find the girls there alone. There was a chilling cloud of embarrassment over all of them, and when Ndl at last undertook to say something it was with great effort.

The extradition treaty negotiated be­ tween Mexico and the United States wds signed the other day at the City of Mex­ ico by Foreign Minister Mariscal and Am­ bassador Powell Clayton. The treaty, which is predicated upon -the proportion made by Mexico in 1885. is to have a ret­ roactive effect, so as to cover the cases of fugitives from justice during the inter­ regnum between the old and tbe new treaties. Tbe convention broadens the embezzlement clause to cover not merely public moneys, but all defalcations or thefts. Another clause provides for the delivery of stolen goods on the demand of either government.

Mr. Hawley and Mr. Warren. RepublieaM,’ supported the measure, and Mr’. Mitchell and Mr. Cockrell. Democrats,.opposed it, while Mr. Proctor, Republican, addressed the Senate in ftfvor of soqie amendments which he had proponed to the bill. The pnstoffire appropriation bill wns laid be­ fore Senate and its consideration was respmed. At 2 o’clock the debate closed and the voting began. Mr. Butler’s amendment miucing the amount paid to railroads was defeated. 45 to J5. Tbe bill wns then passed. The House reached the last page of the naval bill and ad­ journed with rf point of order pending against a provision fixing the price of armor plate at $545 per ton. Much of the time wns occupied in debating the amend­ ment offered by Mr. Mudd (Rep.. Md.> appropriating $729,000 to complete the three buildings authorized to be erected at the naval academy at Aqnapolis. The House adopted the amendment, 75 to 53. The House on Wednesday inaugurated the custom which has prevailed for ma_ny years in the Senate of listening to the reading of Washington’s farewell ad­ dress on Washington's birthday. Two hours were devoted to the naval-appro­ priation bill. The consideration of the naval bill wns suspended to allow the. members of tbe House to pay tribute ta the memory of the late Senator Morrillof Vermont. The session of the Senate was devoted to two special orders—the reading of Washington’s farewell ad­ dress, nn annual custom of the Senate on Washington’s birthday, and the pro­ nouncing of eulogies ou the late Senator Justin 8. Morrill of Vermont. The naval appropriation bill finally pass?d the House Thursday afternoon, after jlaj-s of acrimonious debate, most of which was s;wnt upon the question of re­ habilitating the naval academy at Annap­ olis in accordance with the scheme in­ augurated by the appropriation of $500,­ 000 in the last naval bill and the proposi­ tion to increase the maximum price to be paid for armor plate to $545 a tun. exist­ ing law limiting it to $400. Upon both propositions the Naval Committee suffer­ ed aignal defeats. The amendment tu build a great armor plant was ruled out upon a point of order. During the entire session, until 6 o’clock, the Senate had under consideration the river nnd harbor bill. Good progress was made, eightynine pages having been disposed of. with the exception of one amendment. A bill reported from the Committee on Military Affairs (>ermitting volunteer regiments ta retain their colors and to deposit them in the State capitals was passed. . The House spent most of the day Fri­ day in general debate upon the army ap proprintion bill, finally closing that order of business. After a session of nearly eight hours the Senate passed the river and heritor bill by the decisive vote of 5D to 3. The measure was under considera­ tion throughout the day. and on several of the committee amendments a determined fight was made, but in every instance tho opposition availed nothing. ^During the afternoon Mr. Kewell (N. J.) delivered a speech in snpport of the Hull-Hawley army reorganization bill. In committee of the whole on Saturday the House ent<-red upon the further con­ sideration of the army appropriation bdl, aud it was read by paragraphs for amend­ ment.

The Correct method of working but­ ter Is by pressure precisely the same as pic crust Is rolled with a rolling pin. Fold it over and roll again, and repeat until done. The reason this is not practicable in hand working of butter Is that more pressure is required with butter tl:au can be done by the unaided hand. Hut one ot tin*.very best styles of butter workers, known ns the roller butter maker, is exactly ou this prin­ ciple, the roller being on a sliding frame which Is pushed back nnd forth over the butter, the handles being ar­ ranged to give a leverage, ns shown In the first picture. This style, says tbe HOLLER Bt-TTEl: UoKKER. Orange Judd Farmer. is not easy for the average farmer to make, u'nd for a small dairy a simpler style gives satis­ faction. It consists in making a long and large rolling pin. putting an Iron pin lit one end. inserting this in a hole at one cud of the frame considerably larger than the pin. taking hold of the handle at the other end and using It as both lever and rolling pin. ns In the second picture. The roller '••an Im* round or six or eight-sided. ami it is preferred to have it diminish in size toward the end which is furthest from tbe handle. The butter Worker of this kind Is made triangular in shape, say about pear orchards at tho present time are those which are cultivated by sowing clover under the trees. The clover is not removed'from the ground at any time of the year. It is cut' and allowed to He and decay upon the.ground, and In this way to act as a 'fertilizer. When au orchard Is being cultivated the practice la to sow the clover In July. By early autumn it lias grown ten or twelve inches, and affords a covering for the ground during the winter. It Is cut at blossoming time the following year. It returns to the soil a sufficient amount of nitrogen, which is so material to the healthy growth of the tree. Potash must also be applied in some form of commer­ cial fertilizer, or Jn .wood ashes. The orchard Is kept In a clover soil so long as the trees are growing satisfactorily. Increase of Fertility, The value of many feeding stuffs Is based on their digestibility, but even when food Is digested it is not all as; simllated, the larger portion being voided. Of the protein in clover hay nearly one-half falls to digest, nnd of the digested portion the manure heap receives a large share. If a ton of clover hay Is worth $10.’ enough of It goes Into the manure heap to equal $9 worth of fertilizers. A ton of cotton ,wed meal, which may cost the farmer I $20, will return to him. in the manure, aliont $18. and that. too. after the i farmer has used* these foods for proi during meat, milk ami butter, though I the estimates depend', of course, upon I the market prices for plant foods. The • reason Is that much of the food Is coin post'd of fat ami starch, which create heat and fat for the animals, but fat ' and starch come from the air ami not from the soil, hence the real plant food* of the materials purchased for . use on the farm are those {tortious which are added to the manure. In fact, at $20 per ton for cotton-seed meal. It ran (and to) profitably used on ' the land as fertilizer, but In so dolpg [ the farmer loses some {tortious which can Im* utilized by stock and which are of no value as manure. By feeding all foods to stock they are simply passed through the body of the animal and rendered more nrcrptnble to plants. the anlhmls being a machine for rvdileIng foods to condition tit for viola­ tion.

Tljr^rws £JtN W, FEIGHNER, PUBLISHER. FRIDAY, MARCH 3, 1899. PROFITABLE PUBLICITY. Some Ideas Suggested by Adver­ tisements ofNashville • Dealers. I have a great amount of profes­ sional pride and interest -in scanning toe advertising columns of The News from week to week. It seems to me that their general tone is higher, more business-like and. as a foregone conelusion, more profitable. Possibly some may ascribe it to egotism if I •ay that, perhaps, some srpal1 portion •f these felicitous, results may btascribed to my efforts. But to those who think “egotism,” I will say that my remarks on advertising in pre­ vious articles are merely the result of ■radical experience, only to be gained by a constant study of what the bright­ est and most successful advertisers ’ are doing. *1 do not claim any spec­ ial merit or originality, but simply a faculty of gathering ideas and ex­ tracting from them such meat us may be found therein. I have harped upon the. string of publication of prices and description, .and while of course, this idea will not meet with general approval, yet I « aote that some are adopting it, and* 1 am sure -with profit to themselves. The greatest objection which may be raised to this plan is that, to a certain 4 extent, it gives competitors an oppor* lunity to meet or even lower the prices charged. But what of this? While they may charge a penny or two less on a pound of coffee, is it always true that they “furnish Ufeir customers with the same brand or value? This is the main point to lie achieved. Convince your readers that the coffee handled by you is bettor than others: that it requires less in quality to make a more delicious and health­ ful cup; that it has some exclusive feature or features which make it the ne plus ultra of coffee perfection, and joa will be'surprised to learn how few people really care for the one or two cents to be saved by using an inferior grade. Get them interested in your uoffee, toll the price as boldly as you assert the merits, and rest assured you will have no falling-off in your trade because Simmons sells a brand at a cent less a pound. I have been much interested in read•end A Co., in the last edition of The NEWS, and 1 have studied it both from the standpoint of a prospective buyer as well as an advertiser. My sonelusion is that it is a winner. Don’t think, for a moment, Messrs. Townsend & Co., that I wish to "jolly” you, for really, I have nothing to gain by so doing, and 1 assure you that if‘l see anything 1 don’t like. I •hall not be at all afraid to criticise it. This is one of the. blessings am vritic has which does not belong to the politician—freedom of epeqch. But to return to the subject. I have hon­ estly endeavored to find some weak •pot in the ad. and am free to confess that the only one is the lack of two or ■ttaue apt descriptions and prices. That which especially pleases me is the directness with which the ad. goes to the point. There is no palaver, no beating about the bush, no endeavor to bring tbe wur with the Philipinos into conjunction with plain United States groceries. The writer aimed at a certain goal—that of attracting the attention and confidences of uis read­ ers, and he fired as he aimed, directly at tbe spot and hit it. He says, “buy toe best.” Now. tbe remark is not at all flowery or poetical, bat a practical suggestion for practical readers. Then in harmony with all practical sug­ gestions, we are told “why” and this ^why” is a beauty. It is the. acme of honesty. “Because then you know just what you are eating.” 1 cannot thing of a simple sentence, better cal­ culated to attract attention and com­ mand the respect of the reader. You Jtnowut once that the writer has a thorough grasp of bis subject and un­ derstands bis business. It is profita­ ble to buy of such an one. “The goods you get vrhen you come into our store are the real thing, not imitations gotten up to sell under the market price.” Here we are, right at the pith of tbe matter, told in such an honest way that we cannot help but believe.

What Shall We Do. A serious and dangerous disease prevails in this country. dangerous because so deceptive. It cornea on so slowly yet surely that it is often firmly seated before we are mn1 of it. The name of this disease which may be divided into three distinct stages is, First, Kidney trouble, indicated by pain in the back, rheumatism, lum­ bago, frequent desire to urinate, often with a burning sensation^ the flow of urinate being copious or scant with strong odor. If allowed to advance, this reaches the Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy pain In the abdomen low down between the navel ami water passage, increasing desire to urinate, with scalding sensation in passing, small qu an Lies being passed with ditii■ctilty. sometimes necessary to draw it with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has formed, it will prove dan­ gerous if neglected. The Third stage is Bright’s Disease.

There is an avenue, of palms almost this height in Cayenne, French Guiana. The cabbage palm has its name from the fact that the heart of the tree from which the leaves spring is often boiled, as we boil a cabbage. It is sometimes made into picklea. The wood of the cabbage palm, which la very close and hard, split longitud­ inally, is made into gutters, but la too thia for any other purpose, unless it be the manufacture .of canes.

Native Deputation Visits American Lines - Even Aguinaldo Eager tor Ceaantion of Hostilities - Uncondi­ tional Surrender the Only Way Out. Two commissioners rent to Malolos some time ego by prominent natives at Manila, who attempted after the first out­ break to arrange a conference between Gen. Otis end Aguinaldo, returned under a flag of truce. They report that chiefs commanding 8,000 rebels are anxious to surrender. They also say that Aguinaldo is inclined to accept pacific overtures. Gen. Otis did not receive the commis­ sioners. He bolds that it is not his duty to make pacific overtures, but to receive them. He will in no way recognize Agui­ naldo as the bead of a lawful government, nor as a belligerent, nor an anything but a leader of armed rioters. When the for­ mer conference was held by Gen. Otis with the native leaders, the latter had nothing definite to propose. They wanted Gen. Otis to make proposals to Aifuinaldo. Of course, Gen. Otis refused. He refused to receive the lata envoys for the same reason. Tlje attempt to burn Manila and massacre its inhabitants has made the American commander less Inclined than ever to treat with Agbinaldo. The forces of the insurgents have been comparatively inactive for several days. The troopn have become so used to this idle night firing of the rebels that they give It no attention. The rebel sharpshoot­ ers continue their efforts to annoy the American troops in the daytime. They are allowed to waste their ammunition with little attention, until they venture to appear In the open. Then a single volley or a shell generally suffices to drive them to cover. In Manila absolute quiet prevails. The order to clear the Street* ■t, 7 o'clock has bad an excellent effect upon the natives, and is enforced rigidly. The streets are deserted after 7 o'clock by all save the patrols and European resi­ dents with passes on business. The American casualties to dote, by reg­ iments, are as follows: Klied. Wounded. First California Washington regiment Idaho regiment Fourth Cavalry Fourteenth infantry.. 5U a* Wyoming regiment Sixth Artillery Third Artillery Twentieth Kansas Pint Montana Tenth Pennsylvania Flrat Colorado First Nebraska First South Dakota Utah Artillery, Twenty-third Infantry.. Thirteenth Minnesota.. . Second Oregon Eighteenth Infantry.... Medical department Totals 83 13 347 The total losses of the American troops since the fires have been as follows: Gen. MacArthur's division, three killed and thirty-seven wounded; Gen. Anderson's brigade, one killed and seven wounded; provost guards, two killed and fifteen wounded. Advices from the rebel lines say the most fantastic reports of the American losses during and since the fires are circu­ lated by the rebel leaders. The Filipinos are told that the Americans had 200 men killed and hundred* wounded during and since the fires. The foregoing official re­ turn shows that only six were killed and fifty-nine wounded. THE BECKER MURDER. Chicago Police Are Searching Fewer* and Prairie*. August A. Becker, the Chicago man held on suspicion of having murdered his wife, ia facing two developments that weigh in the balance against him. One is the |K»itive declaration that the hair found in the Becker barn was human hair, resembling that of Mrs. Becker, and that the blood found there was human blood. The other development comes in a sensa­ tional interview with Henry Souder, who says he knew Becker in Germany, fifteen years ago, and that a few days before Becker left for America the body of a wealth}* stock dealer was found in a barn in the rear of Becker’s house. The stock dealer had lieen murdered and evidently robbed. Police have been searching sew­ ers and prairies for the body of Mrs. Becker. SHELLED BY MONITOR. Malabon Native Church Destroyed by the Mnttadnock. The rebels at Malabon fired upon the cruiser Callao from the jungle Monday while Admiral Dewey was visiting the Monadnock. Three shells were dropped by the monitor into the Malabon Church, demolishing- the structure and killing a number of rebels who were inside. A factory at Malolos is reported to be running day and night to supply ammuni­ tion for the insurgents. The ignorance of the natives is shown by the fact that they have collected empty Springfield shells nnd are refilling them. Over two • thousand of these cartridges have been discovered in houses in I’andacatr by an officer of the Washington volunteers. NATIVES ABE IGNORANT. - Population of the Philippine* Placed at Only 4,000,000. Prof. Knapp, special commissioner of the Department of Agriculture to the Philippines, hasTeturned with a poor opin­ ion of the Filipinos. He says Aguinaldo is a much overestimated leader, and would sell out his cause fof a satisfac­ tory price. The natives, he says, are ig­ norant, but are adepts in treachery and deception. Prof. Knapp contradicts the estimate of 10,000,000 population in the islands, basing his opinion on statements of the dominican fathers, who place the population at 4,000,000. The House spent practically the entire me of the seven-hour session on Tues­ day passing the public building bills fa­ vorably acted upon by the committee of the whole ten days before.. Bixt^-one bills in -all were passed, carrying $9,352,000, $750,000 of which, however (the amount appropriated for the New York custom house). Is to be repaid from the proceeds of the sale of the old building. A joint resolution was passed to authorize foreign governments desiring to nuike exhibits -at the commercial exposition to. be held at Philadelphia in 1899 to bring into this country foreign' laborers under* contract to prepare the exhibits. A frenzy of bill passing was on in the Senate. The bills passed were principally public building measures, and at times during the day and night the scenes in the Senate were remarkable. Bills carrying an aggregate of $8,000,000 or $10,000.1)00 were pa»o*d. and many more that had' not been passed by both houses of Congress were placed as amendments on the sundry civil appro­ priation bill. Finally, at a late hour io the evening. i(n amendment to the sundrycivil bill was adopted, appropriating near­ ly $4,000,000 for the preliminary work oo the buildings which had been authorized. The sundry civil bill was passed at 11:1& p. tn., having been technically tinder con­ sideration throughout the day and even­ ing. The last possibility of an extra session of Congress disappeared Wednesday, when the House passed the Senate army reorganization bili. The bill passed 203 to 32. The decks were also cleared of many other important matters. The gen­ eral deficiency appropriation bill, carrying $21,080,000, was passed under suspension of the rules, without a word of criticism. The SeAte amendments to the river and harbor bill were non concurred in and it was sent to conference. The conference­ reports on the omnibus claims bill, the naval personnel and many other less im­ portant measures were agreed to. The Senate bill making. Dewey a full admiral was passed. The naval appropriation bill, which ordinarily consumes the time of the Senate for several days, was -passed by that body after less than fire hours of debate. One of the first acts of the Sen­ ate when that body convened was the consideration of the bill carrying $20,000,­ 000 with which to pay Spain for relin­ quishment of the Philippines in accord­ ance with the treaty of Paris. Mr. AH'son (Iowa) reported the measure from the Committee on Appropriations and asked for its immediate consideration. The bill was laid before the Senate and in half ■ minute was passed without a word of de­ bate. The Senate concluded the day’s session by pronouncing eulogies upon the late Representative Dingley. t In the House on Thursday two public building bills attached by the Senate tobills for public buildings In other cities were agreed to, one appropriating $250,­ 000 for a building at Los Angeles, Cal., and the other $75,000 for a building at New Brighton, Pa. A number of confer­ ence reports on minor bills were adopted. Mr. Payne (Rep., N. ,Y.)« the floor leader of the majority, moved the passage, under suspension o’f the rules, of the bill appro­ priating $500,000 for the Pan-American exposition to be held at Buffalo, N. Y., in 1901. The bill was passed, 141 to 16. Mr. Southard followed this motion with a motion to suspend the rules and pass a bill to appropriate $500,000 for the Ohio centennial exposition to be held at Toledo. The bill was passed, 120 to 19. Mr. Mer­ cer (Rep.. Neb.) moved to suspend the rulefi nnd pass the Senate bill appropriat­ ing $1,000,000 for a new building for the department of justice in Washington. At Mr. Cannon's request an amendment was adopted limiting the cost of the building to $1,000,000, and as amended the bill was passed. During almost the entire session the Senate was engaged in routine business. Three score or more of minor bills were passed, the calendar being cleared entirely of private pension bills and of meanures correcting military and naval records. Two measures of national importance were passed—the fortifications appropriation bill and the bill providing a code of criminal laws for the district of Alaska. Friday was the last day of the congres­ sional session. Sessions in both houses were prolonged through Friday night. During the day the army bill brought Sen­ ator Foraker to the front with his amend­ ment to prohibit the granting of fran­ chises In Cuba and led to debate partici­ pated in by half the Senators on the floor. The overwhelming rote bv which, the amendment was passed after the provis­ ion for the withdrawal of the troops had been stricken out Indicated a decided opin­ ion that will have weight in the labors of the colonial board. The bill was passed as amended. The river and harbor bill from conference led to filibustering, head­ ed by Senator Carter, to secure an appro­ priation for irrigating the arid west and threatened the passage of the bill. There wa« considerable debate on the sundry civil bill, which was finally passed. A bill providing for a Government exhibit at and to encourage the Ohio centennial and northwest territory exposition to be held at Toledo, Ohio, and appropriating $500, 000, was passed. The following bill* were passed: To incorporate the National White Cross of America, amending the internal revenue laws relating to distilled spirits, authorizing the construction of a bridge over the Tennessee rirer at Shef­ field, Ala.; authorizing the Washington and Gettysburg Railroad Company of Maryland to extend its line of road into the District of Columbia. A bill provid­ ing a site for the Washington public li­ brary building. In the House the army bill waa passed with all the Senate amend­ ments. ■ KILLED WITH A HAMMER. Told in a Few Linen.

Further on Arabs and Aimees will entertain the voy­ agers.- The incidents en route will be varied and, Interesting, including a meeting with a naval squadron, a sun­ IMITATION OCEAN TRIP. The Pari* Exposition Will Have a Bogus Steamer Voyage. Because of the great novelty of the proposition, the projectors of the "Mareorama” have been assigned by the directors of the Paris exposition to a most prominent site, in the very shadow-of the Eiffel tower, as a loca­ tion for the proposed amusement fea­ ture. The word "Mareorama" Is a new one, which has been coined for this special occasion. It means a panorama of toe sea. But as It is designed It will be none of the old-time panoramas, where one takes a position on an ele­ vated platform and views a stretch of canvas with a somewhat realistic fore­ ground which encircles him. On the contrary, a sensatldn, new and novel In every particular, will be revealed to the visitor. Nothing mor£ or less than a perfect illusion of an ocean trip is what Is In store for him. Not a trip of a few minutes, but a voyage, a cruise as seri­ ous and as attractive as if he were really on the deck of a bona fide atelmer going at full speed. Entering the doorway he finds him­ self on the gangplank leading up to the deck of what is apparently a fullfledged ocean steamer, apparently tied up at the wharf. The reproduction Is accurate In every detail. The smoking funnels, lifeboats, ropes and pulleys, ventilators, port holes, masts and spars and the uniformed crew, with the members working under the direction of the captain on the bridge all serve to Increase the Illusion. Great confusion prevails Just before the announced departure of the boat. Deck stewards and cabin stewards are busy looking after the comfort of the guests, spectators or passengers, which­ ever they hHgpen to be In this instance. These petty officmisare rushing around looking after baggage, getting chairs and doing a dozen other like errands. After a while the gangplanks are with­ drawn and stowed away, whlstieslgoals are blown and gongs sounded and the boat pulls out, leaving the city of Mar­ seilles, which Is the starting point, dis­ appearing In the distance. The scen­ ery of the vicinity is accurately repro­ duced and Anally the boat reaches the high seas. Things have been all rosy' up to this time, but now the sun’s light is noticed to be gradually diminishing and a spot darker than the rest of the horizon appears. A storm is approach­ ing. The roar grows louder and louder until It breaks In all its genuine fury. The waves dash over the deck and lightning plays through the rigging. The sailors run wildly back and forth and Into the rigging, where sails are furled and others are at the same time engaged In making fast the more ex- rise at sea, ship on Are and rescue of the crew and other effects. The mechan­ ical portion will also be interesting. The ship will be In a tank, which Is floating within another tank, and the rocking motion will be given from the outside by“means of pistons. The piv­ ots on which the deck works are ar­ ranged in a circle and are controlled by means of levers from the bridge. This machinery will make the boat roll and pitch exactly as If It were In the trough of the sea. The Illusion created by these movements, combined with the brilliant light effects and the mov­ ing panorama on either side, will be en­ hanced by the breeze fraught with salt water which will sweep the decks. The celling of the panorama will be arched, to appear to the eye Just as the sky does. Upon this celling the sun will rise and set, the moon and the stars will appear and even the clouds and HghtnlnClfre*to be reproduced In the storm scene, which will represent every feature of a furious tempest at sea, minus only the danger. Passengers who cannot stand the movements on deck can go below into a cabin at the center of the boat, where the motion Is but slightly felt, and can see the p&no- ON THE DECK OF THE MAREORAMA. posed pieces of deck furniture. All this time the deck of the sham boat is plunging up and down and rolling and tossing in exactly the same manner as a boat on the seas. A ray of light Is now seen and soon the atmosphere has cleared again and all is rosy once more. The lx>at rocks to and fro now with pleasant undulations. The Itinerary of the trip Includes stops at Algiers, Naples, Venice and Constantinople. At each landing there ■will be attractions for the amusement of the patrons of the Mareorama, and these features will be characteristic of the places stopped at and the landings at each place will be marked with some lively scenes as above described. The maneuvers of dropping the anchor, putting out a gang plank and In some instances the launching of a boat will i rama through the portholes on either side. The sea breeze will be furnished by huge ventilators, and the air passing first through a layer of varech or sea­ weed will be impregnated with the fra­ grance of the ocean winds. The World’* Tunnel*. If all the tunnels of the world were placed end to end, they would reach a distance of 514 miles. They number •bout 1.142.

It travels,, as cholera formerly did, in waves over the world, running generally from the east to the west It attacks a very large proportion of the population, especially at the beginning of an epidemic; then in recurrent years It seizes upon those who have previously escaped, and the epidemic does not Anally die out until nearly every one has suffered its mis­ eries. Medical writers usually distinguish three forms of Influenza, according as the nervous, the digestive, or the catar­ rhal symptoms predominate; but all constitute one and the same disease, and one form may easily pass Into an­ other In the course bf the same attack. In a typical case influenza begins suddenly with a general 111 feeling, headache, pains in .the muscles and In the back, loss of appetite, am! a sense of extreme weakness. There may be a hard chill, or a succession of slight chills, or a general chilly sensation, and soon a high fever declares itself. The eyes are often congested and sen­ sitive to light, the nose runs, there Is pain at .the root of the nose and over the eyes, and all the symptoms of a se­ vere cold in the head are experienced. The tongue Is heavily coated, swallow­ ing Is difficult or painful, and the voice Is hoarse or whispering. Often there Is more or less Jaundice. The pulse Is very rapid and weak, especially when the patient stands. A peculiar symptom In Influenza, one that often serves to distinguish it sharply from an ordinary cold. Is a marked depression of spirits; the pa­ tient Is plunged in despair, and no amount of argument or raillery has any effect on bls misery. In some tevere cases of the so-called nervous form of the disease this melancholy Is so ex­ treme as to lead to attempts at suicide.

'*arjr4r*K J i �I CHAPTER XXII. Lucetta met Henchard by accident a day or two later. It was in the bustle •f the market, when no one could readily •otice their discourse. . “Michael." said she, "I must again ask you. what I asked you years ago. to re­ turn me any letters or . papers of mine that you may have—unless you have de­ stroyed them. You must we how de­ sirable it is tliat the time nt Jersey should be blotted out, for the good of-all parties.” , “I have returned the whole lot of your •“I think not," she said, timidly. “I tell ye I returned every scrap of your handwriting—returned ’em long-ago.” "Then I never received them." "I sent them-up to you in arpacket by Slizabeth Jane, to be put into your hands when you were passing through Caster­ bridge by coach—exactly as you request­ ed." "Ah! I did not take that journey till •omo days later.” "Then what did Elizabeth Jane do with them?" said he. "You had better find "Lucetts's anxiety was now to see Eliza­ beth Jane, which there was not much difficulty in doifig. She called by request, <nd then Lucetta learned bow Farfrae. as snay be remembered, had offered to deliver the packet to relieve Elizabeth from the. tedium of waiting at the coach office. Henchard's thoughts were running on a gjarallel line with those of poor JjUceUa's. A* soon as hia work was over, he, too, went to Elizal>eth Jane, to make the in­ quiry in which Lucetta had preceded him. To him also Elizabeth confessed that she bad been relieved of the parcel by Farfrae. , A grotesque grin shaped itself on Hen­ shard’s face. The next morning he went to the corn yard as usual, ’and about ■eleven o’clock Donald entered through the <reen door, witb no trace of the worship­ ful -about him. The yet more emphatic ■change of places between him and Bench* •rd which this election had established renewed a slight embarrassment in the manner of the modest younger man; but Hcnchard showed the front of one who "had overlooked all this, and Farfrae met Jiim amenities half-way nt once. “I was going to ask ye," said Bench•rd. "about a packet that I once gave my stepdaughter to hand to a lady in the Bath coach.” And he added the particu,“Ah!” said Farfrae; "I do remember my ■faults this day. I could find no lady in •ny coach; I called at your bouse to give fcack the parcel; it was the very hour of M.-s. Henchard’s death. I took it home, -the packet being undone, wrapped it up •gain, and there it is now.” "It was not of much consequence—to «ne." said Henchard. “But I’ll .call for it this evening, if you don’t mind." It was quite lute when be fulfilled his promise. A curl of sardonic humor hung on his lip us be apprOach<*d the house. •* though he, were contemplating some terrible form of amusement. Whatever it 'was. the incident of hi* entry did not dlminish its .force, this being his first visit •to the house since he had lived there as Farfrae invited him into the dining room, where he nt once unlocked an iron safe built Into the wall, his, Henchard's safe, made by an ingenious locksmith un4er his direction. Farfrae drew thence, the parcel, with a repetition of his honest apologies. "Never mind." said Henchard, dryly. *The fact is, they are letters mostly— Yes,” he went on. sitting down and un­ folding them, "here they be. That I should ever see ’em again! I hope Mrs. Farfrae la well after her exertions of yesterday?" "She has felt n bit weary, and has gone <0 bed on that account." Henchard returned to the letters, sort­ ing them over with interest. Farfrae be­ ing seated at the other end of the dining table. “You don't forget, of course." he resumed, "that curious chapter in the his­ tory of my past, which I told you of, and that you gave me some assistance in by taking a journey to Budmouth? These letter* are, in fact, related to that un­ happy business." "What became of the poor girl?" asked Farfrae. "Luckily, she married, and married well" said Henchnrd. "So that these re­ proaches she poured out on me do not now cause me any twinges,, as they might otherwise have done. Just listen to what •n angry woman will say.” Farfrae. willing to humor Henchnrd. though quite uninterested, and bursting with yawns, gave well-mannered atten­ tion. "For me,” the letter went on, "there ia practically no future. A wife whose hus­ band has vanished into thin air. who feels it morally impossible that she can be wife of any ,other man after going to the altar with you, and who is yet no more your wife than the first woman you meet in the •treet. I quite acquit you of any intention to deceive me, yet you are the door through which wrong has come to me. That in the event of your present wife's death you will restore me to my true po­ sition is a consolation as far as it goes; but how far.does it go? Thus I alt here, • widow without the melancholy satisfac­ tion of a husband’s tomb." • He opened n third and fourth letter, and read. This time he approached tbe conclusion as if the signature were In­ deed coming with the rest. But again he •topped shunt. Tbe truth was that, as snay be divined, he had quite intended to ■affect a grand catastrophe at the end of this drama by reading out the name; he had come to the house with no other thought. But sitting here in cold blood be could not do it. Such a wrecking of hearts appalled even him. His quality was such that he could have annihilated them both in the heat of action; but to •ccomplish the deed by oral poison was beyond the nerve of his enmity. Lucetta leaned upon the baluster with her cheek against the smooth hand-rail, •• if she would make a friend of it in her misery. Rigid in thia position, more and more words fell successively upon her •ar. But what amazed her most vru th* tone of her husband.. He spoke merely in the accents of a man who made a pres­ ent of his time. “One word,” be was saying, as the crackling of paper denoted that Henchard was unfolding yet another sheet.' “Is it quite fair to this young woman’s memory to read at such length to a stranger what was intended for your eye alone?" “Well, yes," said Henchard. "By not giving-her name I make it an example of all womankind, and not a scandal to one.” Next morning Lucettn remained in bed, meditating how to parry this incipient at­ tack. The bold stroke of telling Donald the truth, dimly conceived, was yet too bold. Having laid her plan, she rose, and wrote to Henchnrd, who kept her on these tenter-books: . " "I overheard your interview with my husband last night—and saw the drift ot your revenge. The very thought 'of it crushes me. Have pity on a wretched woman." Thus far she wrote truly. She ndded: "If you could see me, you would relent. You do not know bow anxiety has told on me lately. I ‘will be at the Ring at the time you leave work—just before the sun goes down. Please come that way to assure me you will carry this horse-play no further.’-' “Well, what do you want me to do?" ■he asked when they met in accordance witb this appointment. “My reading of those letters was only a sort of practical joke: and I revealed nothing." “To give me back the letters, and any paper you may have that breathes of matrimony." "So be it. Every scrap shall be yours. But between you and me, Lucetta, he is sure to find out something of the matter, sooner or later." "Ah!” she said, with eager tremulous­ ness; "but not till I have proved myself a faithful and deserving wife to him, nnd then he. may forgive me everything." Hcnchard silently looked at her; he al­ most envied Farfrae such love as that, even now. "H'm—I hope so,” he said. "But you shall have the letters "Without fail. And your secret shall be kept, I "How good you are!—how shall I get them ?”, ! He reflected, and said he would send them by his landlord tbe next morning. "Now, don't doubt me," he added. "I cun keep my word.” He watched her till she had vanished, and then went home, going up to his bed­ room and rummaging his boxes. "1 wish," said Henchard to his land­ lord. "you would do me a service. Jopp— now, to-night, I mean, if you can. Leave this at Mrs. Farfrae's for her. I should take it myself, of course, but I don't wish to be seen there.” He handed a package in brown paper, scaled. Jopp indifferently expressed his willingness. The pen and all its relations being awkward tools in Henchard’s hands, ho bad affixed the sealp without an impression, it never occurring to him that the Efficacy of such a fastening depended on this. Jopp was far less of a tyro; he lifted one of the seals with his penknife, |H*eped in nt the end thus opened, and saw that the bundle consisted of letters, nnd having satisfied himself thus far. sealed up the end again by simply softening the wax with the caudle, and went off with, the parcel as requested. His path was the river-side at the foot of the town. Coming into the light at the bridge which stood at the end of High street, he beheld lounging thereon Mother Cuxsom and Nance Mockridge. "We be just going down Mixen lane way, to look into Peter's Finger afore creeping to b<-d,” said Mrs. Cuxsom. “There's a fiddle aud tambourine going on there. Lord, what’s all the world—do ye come along, too, Jopp?—'twon't hinder ye five minutes.” Thither Jopp nnd his acquaintance repaired. The settees on which they sat down were thin and tall, their tops being guyed by pieces of twine to hooks in the ceiling; for when the guests grew boister­ ous the settees would rock and overturn without some such security. The thunder of bowls echoed from the back yard; swingles hung behind the blower of the chimney; and ex-poachers and ex-gamekeepers whom princes hid persecuted without a cause sat elbowitx'each q|her —men who in past times had met in fights under the moon, til! lapse of sentences on the one part, and loss of favor and ex­ pulsion from service on the other, brought them here together, to a common ievelf where they sat calmly discussing old times. The furmity woman, who was present, asked Jopp what was in his parcel. “Ah, therein lies a grand secret," said Jopp. “It is the passion of love. To think that a woman should love one man so well, and hate another so unmercifully!" "Who's the object of your meditation, .Irr ' "One that chaws high in this town. I’d like to shame her! Upon my life, ’twould be as good as a»play to read her love let­ ters, the proud piece of silk and wax­ work! For 'tia her love letters that I've got here.” “Love letters? Then let's hear 'em, good soul,” said Mother Cuxsom. "Lord, do ye mind, Richard, what fools we used to be when we were younger, getting a school boy to write ’em for us, and giving him a penny, do ye mind, not to tell other folks what he’d put inside, do ye mind, nnd how you’d kiss and cole me, do ye mind?” By this time Jopp had pushed his fingers under the seals, and unfastened the let­ ters, tumbling them over and picking up one here and there at random, which he read aloud. These passages soon began to uncover the secret which Lucetta had so earnestly hoped to keep buried, though the epistles, being allusive only, did not make it altogether plain. "Mrs. Farfrae wrote that!” said Nance Mockridge. “ 'Tis a humbling thing for os, as respectable women, that one of thd same sex could do it And now she’s vow­ ed herself to another man!" "Bo much the better for her,” said the furmity woman. "Ah. I saved her from a read bad marriage, and she’s never been the one to thank me." "I say. what a( good foundation for a akimmity ride,’’ said Nance. “Tme," said Mra. Cuxsom, reflecting. " 'Ti* as good a ground for a skimmity ride as ever I knowed; and it ought not trrbridge must have been ten years ago. i*a day. ’Twere about Jane Criddle, do ye mind, that used to beat her husband with the mop stem—a well-to-do gentle­ man, kind of man, that used to travel .in the whity-brown thread and button line, i£.ye can mind." Jopp gathered ap the letters, and it be­ ing now somewhat late, he did not attempt to call at Farfrae's with them that night. He reached home, sealed them up as be­ fore, and delivered the parcel at its ad­ dress next, morning. Within an hour its contents wertfTeduced to ashes by Lucetta, who, poor soul! was Inclined to fall down on her knees in thankfulness that at last no evidence, beyond the simple entry in a remote parish register, remained of the unlucky episode with Henchard In her past. For, innocent as she bad been'of wrong-doing therein, that episode, if known, was not the less likely to operate fatally between herself and her busband. CHAPTER XXIII. Such was the state of things when the current affaire of Casterbridge were in­ terrupted by an event of such magnitude that its influence reached to the lowest so­ cial stratum there, stirring the depths of its society so sensibly as to cut into, the midst of the preparations for the sklmmington. It was one of those excitements which, when they move a country town, leave a permanent mark Upon its chroni­ cles, as a .warm summer permanently marks the ring in the tree trunk corre­ sponding to its date. A royal personage was about to pass through the' borough on his course fur­ ther west to inaugurate an immense en­ gineering work out that way. He had con­ sented to halt half an hour orso in the town, and to receive an address from the corporation of Casterbndgv. which, ns a representative center of husbandry, wish­ ed thus to express its sense of the great services he had rendered to'agricultural science and economics by his zealous pro­ motion of designs for plnciifc the art of farming on a more scientific footing. The eventful morning was bright, a full­ faced sun confronting early window-gaz­ ers eastward, and all perceived that there was permanence in the glow. Visitors ” soon began to flock in from country houses,- villages, remote copses, and lone­ ly uplands, the latter in oiled boots and tilt bonnets, to see the reception, or if not Henchard had determined to do no work that day. He primed himself in the morn­ ing with a glass of rum. and walking down the street met Elizabeth Jane, whom he had not seen for a week. "It ■was lucky.” ho said to her, “my twenty ;years had expired before this came on, <or I ahouid never have had the nerve to «carry it out." “Carry out what?” aaid she’’, alarmed. "Thia welcome I am going to give our , royal visitor." She was perplexed. “Shall we go and ।see It together?" she said. "See it! 1 hare other flab to fry. You . see it. It will be worth seeing!" She could do nothing to elucidate thjs, tand decked herself out with a heavy heart. . As the appointed time drew near she got 1sight again of her stepfather. She thought |he was going to the King of Prussia: but ]no, be elbowed his way through the gay 1throng to the shop of Woolfrey the drap­ <er. She waited in the crowd without. In a few minutes he emerged, wearing, 1to her surprise, a brilliant rosette, while, 1more surprising still, in his hand he car­ । ried a flag, of somewhat homely construc­ 1tion. formed by tacking one of the small 'Union Jacks, which abounded in the town to-day. 1 to the end of a deal wand—proba­ ■ bly the roller 'from a piece of calico. Bouchard rolled up his flag on the door step, । put it under bis arm. and went down 1 the street. At length a man stationed at the fur­ 1thest turn of the high road gave a signal, and 1 the corporation in. their robes pro­ । ceeded from the front of the Town Hall to 1 the archway erected at the entrance to the town. The carriages containing the 1royal visitor and his suite arrived at the 1spot in a cloud of dust, a procession was formed, and the whole came on to the ‘Town Hal! at a walking pace. This spot was the center of interest. 'There were a few clear yards in front of the royal carriage, and. into this space a man stepped before any one could prevent ; him. It was Henchard. He bad un­ •rolled his private ting, and removing his hat. he advanced to the side of the slow­ ing carriage, waving the Union Jnck to 1and fro with his left hand, while he biand.ly ■ held ont his right to tbe illustrious per­ 1sonage. Farfrae immediately rose to the occa­ 1sion. He seized Henchard by the shoul­ der, dragged him back, and told him roughly to be off. Henchard’s eyes met his, and Farfrae observed the fierce light in them, despite his excitement and irri­ tation. For a moment Henehasd stood his ground rigidly, then by an unaccountable impulse gave way and retired. Farfrae glanced to the ladies' gallery, and saw that his wife’s cheek was pale. “Why, it is your husband’s old patron!” said Mrs. Blowbody, a lady of the neigh­ borhood, who sat beside Lucetta. "Patron!" said Donald’s Wife, with quick indignation. "Do you say the mon is an acquaint­ ance of Mr. Farfrae’s?" observed Mrs. Bath, the physician’s wife, a newcomer to the town. "He works for my husband,” said Lu­ cetta. “Oh, is that all? They have been say­ ing to me that it was through him your husband first got a footing in Caster­ bridge. What stories people will tell!" “They will indeed. It was not so at all. Donald’s genius would have enabled him to get a footing anywhere, without any­ body's help! He would have been just the same if there had been no Henchard in the world.” It was partly Lucetta’s ignorance of the circumstances of Donald’s arrival which led her to speak thus: partly the sensation that everybody seemed bent on snubbing her at Ml triumphant time. The Inci­ dent had occupied but a few moments, but ft was necessarily witnessed by the royal personage, who, however, with practiced tact, affected not to have noticed anything unusual. He alighted, the Mayor advanc­ ed, the address was read, the visitor re­ plied. then said a few words to Farfrae, and shook hands with Lucetta, as the Mayor’s wife. The ceremony occupied but a few minutes, aud the carriages rat­ tled np the straight High street, and out upon the great open road, in continuation of the journey coastward. The proceedings had been brief—too brief—to Lucetta, but they had brought shake of the royal hand still lingered in her fingers, and the chit-chat she had over­ heard, that b*r husband might possibly receive the honor of knighthood, though idle to a degree, seemed not the wildest virion; stranger things had occurred to men so good and captivating aa her Scotchman was. After the collision with the Mayor, Henchard had withdrawn behind tbe la­ dies’ rostrum nnd there he stood, regard­ ing with a stare of abstraction the spot on the lapel of his cost where Farfrae's band hod rested. He put his own hand there, as if he could hardly realize such an outrage from one whom it had once been his wont to treat with ardent gener­ osity. While pausing in this half-stupe­ fied state, the conversation of Lucetta with the other ladies* reached his ears, and he distinctly heard her deny him—deny that he bad assisted Donald, that he was anything more than a common journey­ man. He moved on homeward, and met Jopp in the archway to the bull stake. "So you’ve had a snub," said Jopp. 9And what if I have?" answered Hen­ chard, sternly. ■ (To be continued.) NO FEAR OF TREATY.

FIGHT OVER ARMY ENDED. Honic Adopt* the The Senate bill for the reorganization of the nrmj- was passed by the House by a vote of 203 to 32. No attempt was made to amend the bill, aud it was discussed but a few minutes. The provisions of the bill are ns follows: In time of peace the enlisted strength of the regular army is limited to less than 29,000 men. Until July 1. 1901, the Presi­ dent can increase the regular army to (15,­ 000 men. / One hundred additional cadets .are to be appointed. The President is authnrizod ko enlist 35,000 volunteers for two-yoent nnd four months. There are to be twenty-seven regiments pf infantry aud three ot cavalry among the volunteers. One brigadier general may be named for each 4,000 volunteers. One major gen­ eral for each 12,000 volunteers. Post canteens are abolished. SURE PROOF OF TREASON. High Officers. The Paris Aurore says that_the corre­ spondence seized by the police at the head­ quarters of the League of Patriots and elsewhere includes six letters written by relatives of high military officers. The writers say that officers of certain regi­ ments have been sounded and hare ex­ pressed their readiness to engage in a movement to upset the republic.

No doubt the parsnip feeding Is In part responsible for the color of Jeraey but- Waste of Foil by HIowImm. It la always a loss to leave soil naked through the winter, especially if the surface soil Is friable. Unless snow come as a covering, much of It will be blown Into adjoining fields. Often when anow comes it will be wind swept into banks behind fences on its leeward •ide, and so soon as the banks are formed the snow will be darkened by clouds of fine dust, which is deposited on its surface. This wind-blown soil la always extremely rich, as Is shown by the quicker growth and darker green of the grass that grows up after the bank has melted in spring. Always tbe land on the lee side ot fields that have been much and long plowed Is richer near tbe fence on the leeward side than It is nearer the center of tbe field. For tills reason, when plowing, turn the fur­ rows as much as possible from tbe fences towards the center of tbe field. Doubtless there is much blowing of surface dirt In summer showers, though it is not so plain to the sight as It Is when tbe dark rim lies on top of a white bank of snow. Protecting Shrub* *. Winter protection for shrubs Is a mat­ ter that requires considerable skill. Cold Is one of the things to be guarded weight of snow in winter must . b e foreseen and care exercised lest tlie shrub be greatly Injured 1 n the ’wrapping process by tbe breaking of Horse-Radish. isually said that horse-radish win grow anywhere, and It would al­ most seem that this is true, so difficult Is It to fully exterminate tbc roots once they are firmly establktbed. But it is not true that horse-radish will grow as well without care and .fertilizer as with it In starting a new bed the crowns of old plants may be set, but the newer method is to use small root­ lets about as large around as an ordin­ ary penholder. In planting these be very'careful to set them the right end up. Bury these rootlets about two inches deep In good, mellow soil. In the autumn, when housekeepers are preparing pickles, there is a good de­ mand for both roots and leaves. It Is but little work to prepare the root for market, as It can be run through a meat chopper. Much of the horse-rhdlsb put on the market has some white turnip ground with It, nnd. Indeed, many pre­ fer this to the clear root, as the prepara­ tion is not so strong. White wine vine­ gar should be used.—Orange Judd Farmer. • A Texas market gardener claims-that sweet potatoes grown from vine cut­ tings are smoother and nicer than those grown from slips or sprouts. His meth­ od of securing early sweet potatoes Is to gather the vhies before frost has in­ jured them and hang them on a pole, tbe ends of which rest in crotches or forks some two feet above the ground. Cover the ends of tbe vines with moist earth and throw straw, leaves or corn stalks over tbe whole and protect from tbe rain by a good shed, with the north ski? boarded up. As cold weather ap­ proaches be, for better protection, throws more soil upon the base of tbe heap and more straw on the upper por­ tion,’leaving tbe south end. or. better still, the top. partly open during warm spells for ventilation. This plan (which is similar to banking tbe tubers) will keep vines alive all winter nnd ready for early planting In tbe spring.— Farmers’ Magazine. branches.

L 1 I the ground becomes warm In the spring. Five or six feet apart each way is about the right distance nnd a shovel­ ful of well-rooted manure or compost placed at the point where the seed are planted, though the manure should be covered with soil and the seed planted in the soli. About a dozen seed should be put in each hill, covered one inch and the soil packed over the seeds. As soon as the plants come above the surface the soil about them should be loosened, and this repeated after each rain. Oc­ casionally It may be necessary to dust the plants with parls green to protect them from Insects. Thin the plants down to three or four to tbe hill and cultivate the land both ways until the vines become too long.—Texas Stock and Farm Journal. Another Raw Jack. The saw jack shown In the accom­ panying illustration Is so easily con­ structed that description is unneces­ sary. The material used in building Economy of Hornless Cows. When It comes to putting up cows for winter, the cow that? has no boms will be found to take much less room than her neighbor, who is tempted to and generally dot's hook and fight all those near her. In the stable, of course, each stall will accommodate Its eow, boras or no boras. Horned cattle are often kept in stables on bright, pleas­ ant wintry days, to keep them from hooking one another, when they would be much healthier If allowed to run In a small yard. Most barn yards are made much larger than would be nec­ essary If all horns were removed. This wastes manure, as more surface Is exposed to rains, and the droppings In a. large yard are often so scattered that they are never gathered into heaps and carried where they are needed.— American Cultivator. In the localities where It succeeds, which are mainly in the arid regions of the West, alfalfa Is much more produc-. tlve than clover. It has also the ad­ vantage that once the ground Is seeded with it the plant will live forjrtars. Tbe chl'ef drawback is that it takes longer to get a start, the plant not making much growth until late the first season. It is very Impatient of wet, and cannot be grown where the ground during spring and late In winter is flooded. After the first year three crops of hay may be cut in a year, and as the plant has the power of disintegrating air in the soil by the nodules grown on Its can be of any convenient size and of roots, the soil Increases in nitrogenous almost any material, although hard fertility. But of course mineral fertil­ wood Is preferred, so that the weight izers must be supplied- when they are will hold it firmly In place.—Orange needed, as no disintegration of the air can furnish any of these.

The habitual reti­ Tbe cases are closely connected. ’ The cence that Is observed at the Vatican newspapers from tbe beginning had stuck made it difficult to describe the Pope’s to Mollneux a« the person most to be sus­ condition with complete accuracy. The knowledge that the illness of his pected,. but the prosecuting officials ap­ parently never harbored such a thought The evidence which the district attorney produced may be summarised thus: 1. Nicholas A. Heckman positively Iden­ tified Mollneux as the man who rented one of his private letter boxes in tbe name of H. C. Barnet. 2. Miss Emma Miller, saleswoman, identified the silver holder in which tbe poison that killed Mrs. Adams was sent to Harry Cornish, and stated that it was sold to "a man" Dec. 21; tbe district attorriey had previously proved that Molineux was In Newark Dec. 21. 3. Seven handwriting experts identi­ fied samples of Molineux's penmanship, given by him to the State’s attorney, as Identical with tbe writing on the package of poison sent to Cornish and in .letters sent from private letter boxes In the names of “H. C. Barnet" and “H.-Cor­ nish." These letters were to drug firms, ordering potvder medicines. Each of the seven experts was positive that all the writing had been done by one man, and that that man could be no other than Roland B. Mollneux. Coroner’s Jary-, Thinks He Poisoned PASSES THE ARMY BILL. ment by a llnanimon* Vote. The army reorganization bill was pass­ ed by. tbe Senate by n vote of 55 to 13. Senator Hoar Van the pniy Republican voting against the measure. Tbe amend­ ment of Senator Gorman providing that all the increases of officers and men au­ thorized by the bill ahull terminate July 1, 1901. was adopted by a vote of G8 to 0. This was to some extent a victory for the opponents of tbe measure, and shows that Senator' Hawley, who was in charge of the bill, found that he had to withdraw his determined objections to the Gorman amendment or imperil tbe passage of the bill. Under the bill as originally drawn the standing army would be reduced on nnd after July 1, 1901, to 38.400 men. This meant an Increase of 11,400 in the mili­ tary establishment ns it existed prior to the war with Spain. Senator Gorman was against this permanent increase in the standing army and his amendment was offered with that view. The army bill adopted by the Senate in no wise resembles tbe bill which the Pres­ ident desired. According to the Senate bill In two years the regular army must drop back to 27,000 men. The Senate of Kansas passiil n bill giv­ ing the right of eminent domain to irriga­ tion companies. A Missouri statesman has introduced in the Legislature a bill requiring saloon­ keepers to establish and maintain a home for inebriates. The estimated expenses of tbe city of Philadelphia for the year 1899 are $31,­ 400,000, the chief item of which Is for education, the police expenses being ?3»100.000 nnd the fire department $1,000,­ 000. The youngest tnemi>er of the next Con­ gress will be Martin H. Glynn, editor of the Albany Times-Union, who is 26 years old nnd sprung from tbe same soil in the town of Kinderhook, N. Y., which pro­ duced Martin Vau Buren and Samvel J. Tilden. The proposed amendments to tbe con­ stitution of North Carolina provide that all persons claiming the right to vote shall be able to read and write any part of the constitution in the English language. That disfranchises ail illiterates. Then it provides that all males who on Jan. 1, 1867, were entitled to vote, and their de­ scendants, shall be exempt from tbe read­ ing and writing qualification. And that Jrts in all illiterate whites. Tom L. Johnson, the wealthy street car magnate of Cleveland, Ohio, and New York, who helped to manage the campaign of Henry George for Mayor of New York, has declared in a public speech tbat.be has withdrawn from all his business enter­ prises, has disposed of every conflicting interest and of every duty that would in­ terfere with the devotion of his time, his entire energy, his fortune—in fact, his life—to the advancement of the single tax idea. The Alabama Legislature has provided for the submission to the voters of that State of a proposition for the holding of a constitutional convention intended rad­ ically to alter tbe present systenFof vot­ ing by the establishment of an educational qualification such as now exists in South Carolina. Louisiana and Mississippi. The suffrage in Alabama is now practically free, one year’s residence in the State, three months in the county and thirty days in tbc voting precinct being required only. New York now has three resident mem­ bers in the United States Senate—Depew, Platt and Clark of Montana. Senator Clark’s palatial home in New York City is ready for occupancy. The formal initiation of Senator-elect Depew into Washington life Saturday was the warmest thing he went against in forty years. Four hundred members of officialdom were at the “banquet” and ev­ ery one stood up and took his medicine. No seats were provided to rest the loads. Speechmakers were guyed into silence; even Chauncey was not permitted to exr vase his stories. possible conclave was discussed, and the names of prominent candidates for the headship of the holy we were canvassed. Gioachitno Vincent Raphael Aloysios Pecci. Pope Leo XIII., is 89 years old. He was born in Carpineto. diocese of Anagni. Italy. The Pecci family has been remarkable for the longevity of Its mem­ bers. One of the Pope’s brother* lived to be 01 and another to be 84. At the age of 8 the present Pope was sent with bis eldest brother Joseph to the Jesuit college nt Viterbo. In 1824 be en­ tered the schools of the Roman college. He t>egan bis studies in theology in 1828 nnd was ordained priest in December, 1837. After distinguishing himself in various posts he was made a cardinal and at the time of Pius IX.'s death was camerlingo, having tbe management of the temporalities of the holy see. Pope Pius died Feb. 7. 1878, and Feb. 18 Cardinal Pecci was chosen his suc­ cessor. He took the name of Leo XIII. out of respect to tbe memory of Leo XII., for whom be bad a particular veneration. GERMAN SHIPS WITHDRAW. Kaiser Put* an End to Alt Danger of a Clash. The German Government has set at rest effectually the rumors of a purpose on its part, directly or indirectly, to em­ barrass the United States in the Philip­ pine Islands, and has given a signal man­ ifestation of its desire to promote tbe most cordial relations betweep Germany and the United States by ordering the with­ drawal of all vessels of its navy from Philippine waters and placing the lives and property of its subjects there under the protection of the gUuited States Gov­ ernment. Tbe action ^aken is regarded in Wash­ ington as a master stroke in diplomacy, by which will be removed nil possibility of a clash between German and American in­ terests in and about Manila, and notice to all the world, and especially to any Americans who entertained any suspi­ cions of sinister designs by Germany, of the wish and purpose of the German em­ pire to cultivate the friendship of the United States. By It Germany at once places the protection of all her large in­ terests in the islands almost completely in American bands." GETS ISLANDS BY TWO VOTES. Clo*e Contest la Spanish Senate on Cediiia tbe Philippine*. The Spanish Government had a narrow escape from defeat in the Senate on the bill authorizing the cession of Philippine* to the United States. The bill only squeezed through by a majority of two. Some of the members, including Gen. Weyler, abstained from voting. Sagasta, after the vote in the Senate, offered his resignation of the premiership to the Queen Regent, and handed in at the same time tbe resignation of bis min­ istry. I ae resignation of the cabinet is due to the Senate voting to reject the amendments to the bill ceding the Phil­ ippine Islands to the United States, ns set forth in the measure prepared by the Gov­ ernment. The big prize fighters are still in the conversational stage of the game. Gen. Eagan’s term of suspense has end­ ed and his term of suspension begun. The American troops took Caloocan with ease. How they pronounce it is an­ other matter. Considerable progress is reported in the Fitzsimmons-Sharkey imbroglio. Fitz has engaged another typewriter. After reading his latest proclamation one is forced to admit that Mr. Aguinaldo doesn’t fight as well as he proclaim*. There is a decided impression to the effect that young Mr. Aguinaldo will soon retire from the George Washington role. A Maine man claims he can make paper out of the water of the Androscoggin river. If be can do that be can assuredly make paving stone* out of Chicago river water. The yield of oats is now officially re­ corded at 730,905,843 bushels, an increase of 27,000,000 bushels from the November indication. No wonder tbe fanners be­ gin to feel their oats.

Fdc. Foster Relle. the Watchwords of Success. This is an-age of progression. Steto and electricity are playing their part eu the universal stage and are rapidly transforming methods. The ways of -conducting business of fifty years ago are as obsolete as the stage coach of hose olden times as a means of travel. To succeed, the merchant must adopt the newest devices, and the evolution of the old fashioned town^crior into a system of advertis­ ing that is successful or not as its' user makes it, is but another, mile.stone towards the twentieth century. It is erroneous to suppose'that ad­ vertising is' for large dealers only. This idea has precluded many small merchants from utilizing tlieir advan­ tages in this direction. With hardly an exception, every large mercantile business in the United States has grown from a small beginning to its present magnificence through the ju­ dicious, liberal and continuous use of printers’ ink. This alone*, of course, has not been the sole source of sue■cess, but usually has been the great­ est cause. The publicity was not ex-, tensive, at first, but was kept up, con­ tinually. day after day and year after year, until they were at the pinnacle •of successful merchandising.’ Tbe man whose business will only warrant small expense for publicity must not be afraid of being eclipsed by those who have traveled further along the road to merchandising'pros­ perity and cun afford to make larger inveatmtaita. It is often the case that u well-worded advertisement occuvyr ing only un i.ufeh or two of space will attract U>e attention and custom of uk many as will the more pretention­ publicity of uur neighbor. The man who sell honest goods at honest prices, be his store large or small, ■-and lets the public know it in a wav to In* convinced, is the man who wifi sell the goods. . In no way is newspaper advertising an experiment. It is, more than all ■else, a co'mmon-seuse,.busincss invest­ ment, It docs not always follow that the first week or the first the month will show encouraging relations. It is the ^stick-tp-it-iveuess’’ that wins. No legitimate, lasting and suc­ cessful business on earth was ever built up in a week or a month. Tbe newspaper of today is fur more •essential as a profitable medium of publicity tlian ever before. The re­ cent war with Spain, our present dif­ ficulty, in our new territory, the event­ ful political situation, all combine to make the newspaper more universally read than ever before. It depends solely upon the merchant, whether or no he will launch his advertising bark upon the tide which will quickly land it in the harbor of succcssfubmerchand ising. An old man tottering upon tbe edge of the grave, has, to a great extent, lost his usefulness in the great family of mankind. Why? Because his vf•tality has left him. So it is with an advertisement. It must have vitality, the same as humanity, to be of use. We cun none of us discover the link between life and'death—no one can tell just what is the difference between a corpse and a living man. But it is easily seen that the moving, animat­ ing power is either inert or lacking. See with advertising, many writers seem to have a perfect command of language and ideas, the mechanical part is apparently excellent, and yet the vital spark which attracts the reader’s attention and respect Is lack­ ing and thfey fail. While, on the otner hand, an ad. may be crude and imperfect in all details’, and still pos­ sess the vital principle which appeals to the public. So, therefore, let us not pay so much attention to rhetoric, ■but rather strive to imbue our public­ ity with such forcefuiness and magnitism as will insure Its being read. Aud while we are on this subject of vitality, let us glance at one just as imj>orlant, that of continuity. Too many merchants expend a great deal .of hard thought and money In making 3 single effort at publicity’, and then lanse into u state of expectancy of rei«ulta from this one attempt, neglecting 4o drive in the nail by continually hammering at it. They expend all their wind in one spurt up the hill of success, and while it louts they seem fto make progress swiftly and easily, ibut when this energy is spent, they, •commence to slip back, and., the goal is further off than ever. Wise perti­ nacity, and careful husbanding of re­ sources for continual expenditure arc .necessities in successful advertising. Good advertising is nothing more tnor lesw •than .information about the goods for sale, given to prospective .buyers in a plain, simple, honest and -direct manner. Extravagant state­ ments, misleading descriptions, or matter entirely foreign to the subject, have n<> business in an advertisement 1 Tlicy show a weakness and vacillation PENNY WISE-POUND FOOLISH. I have been requested by some of the most Influential citizens of Nash­ ville to say something for the better­ ment of Quaker brook, as I have had considerable experience in draining swamp land for myself and the public. Perhaps it would be well to give a description- of said brook, which, years ago,' came from Hagerman's mill pond in Maple Grove and emp­ tied Into Thornapple River at Nash­ ville. Of late years it empties on sec­ tion one, southeast corner of -Nash­ ville. then down through the willow swamp back of depot, and what is not absorbed by the soil finds its way to Thornapple river. I happened to be at the depot last week when two drummers were viewing the landscape south, and ore said, “ho! ho! isn’t Nashville. In hick; see what a fine frog pond they have; let's go and have a dish for I know they’ll be fresh.” They wouldn’t have to go fur to get them either. See how nice it is constructed. The stream is so crooked and so badly interwoven with willows and rubbish that a frog could not get out if he tried. It is a wonder the health officer submits to such a nuisance. Oh! well, it probably be­ longs to. the corporation and he Is one of its stockholders. This is nearly a true illustration at the present tim?. Some 15 years ago there was a j>etition gotten up by Maple Grove to have the brook straightened, widened and deepened, and every one along the line signed it. The drain commis­ sioner went on, staked out a line, had it surveyed and was ready to set tbe grade stakes when there was a petition of remonstrance gotten up to the effect that it would “bust” the town-uf Maple Gjove to have that chanal dug, and people were sent from house to house us fast us the best horses could take them. Every one signed this I petition but two, und Maple Grove was saved from being bankrupt. For the past 20 years all the streams entering Quaker brook have been straightened and all the swamps for miles around on each side, including the big huckleberry marsh which used to empty imp Highbank creek, were brought this way . through a u big ‘- *" tile 12 feet under ground, and now we have more water with which to contend. I had about -UK) rods of the stream, and I commenced to take out ___ ____ the crooks, beginning on the southeast corner, then dug u new ditch 40 rods straight west, then due north 45 rods into the old channel. 1 was so well pleased with the result that I continued and took out all the crooks. I now have a straight channei-with the excep­ tion of a few short curves, thus doing away with 200 rods of ditch and the same water will make the run in onefourth the time. There is a big fall aud the water runs off rapidly. I had the worst swamp along the route, and did all this work without any- help from the-public. . It hos-cost the town twice as much to keep the bridges and highway In repair than it would to have straight­ ened the brook. From time to time we have tided to get- this brook put in shape to carry the water off, and a petition was got­ ten up to have all the rubbish re­ moved and was presented to the county drain commissioner, but we could not agree and the petition was withdrawn. Thus matters went until we got a new d?ain commissioner. Then I wrote to him to cotne down, that I had some work I wanted him to look over. He caine and I was-well pleased with him, for he seemed to understand his busi­ ness. We looked the brook over aud he declared it was in a worse condi­ tion than any be had been called to see before. In order to put the brook in good shape to carry off the wjger the crooks would have to be taken wldgped in places and deepened in some places, but tbe drain commissioner says he will have to be guided by tbc necessi­ ties of the case and the wishes of the people. Z I am satisfied that if the crooks were taken out on a water level it would be all the deepening required. In taking out the crooks of 12 rods I gained It feet, and similar results might be ob­ tained all along the brook. I know some of you in the village claim you have no fall, but the trouble is you have no channel. Straighten the chan­ nel and it will deejfen itself, the water will go down in one-fourth the time, the water will be in tbe lake before the river raise* and you win have that much less to contend" with. As this would be a county expense it would not break up anybody and ail that land east along the railroad track and the Phillips swamp would all be good. There was a petition presented to me one year ago by the county drain commissioner to have the brook ‘straightened, widened and deepened, which excited some people worse than the Jackson robbery. Now I will give an illustration: I live two miles south of Nashville and I want to come to town. First. I go 20 rods north west then 30 rods northeast, and so on until I get to town. It would look very foolish but not any more so than in the ditch case. I refer you to some streams which have been straightened and kt you see bownice they are work­ ing. The one south of the brick yard west of town, tbe one that Archer and FROM DAWSON CITY. Dawson City, Jan. ", 99. Dear Brother: I will auempt onoe more to get a few words to you by mall. I have written several letters and sent them by Strangers to mail, providing they ever reached a postoffice, knowing they would only reach you by chance. As i am in Dawson now and have this chance to send, my letter by a trusty British officer of the N.W.T. mounted uollce. . I trust you will get it safely; be said he would surely mail it for me, of cour&e I bad to tip the scales with au ounce of gold. The officers all look for ttait with each letter. Well, I will give you a little idea of our journey. We left LakeLinderman as soon as the river would permit'and got through all right by going through a number of hardships and were very lucky in getting to Dawson , with but little loss to sneak of. On our arrival .at Dawson. Klondike, we struck the largest crowd of people I ever saw, with nothing to eat, or no place to sleep, of course I could not refuse a starving man as long as I had a crumb left myself, but we soon saw that would not do so we pulled down the river about 240 miles to an un­ named river. Two of us took the boats and the others kept the shore with the mule?<. We bought three mules and paid *1300 for them and tlien the owner thought it a great sac­ rifice. There was a good number of pack animals with sales slow and feed scarce. ( When we arrived at the river before mentioned. we concluded to prospect it. We took our provisions, packed our long eared cotqpanions and started in dead earnest to see.,what we could find. We wenteabout 100 miles up the river and then took a tributary about 50 miles, digging holes and try­ ing the gravel as we went along. At last we came to a bar where we took out $15.00 a day each, the balance of the summer. But this is considered very poor in this country. Our claims are on the west side of the line that devides the U. S. from B._ C. The ground thaws out where our claims are, so it can be washed to a better advantage than in Dawson. We have about two years provisions yet at our claims. It cost us about $2000 each to get here, but we dug enough gold last summer to make us about even again. I like my partners, they are the very best, hard working und agree ame. This is the most lonesome ____ ____ ._____ _______ ___ and dreary some so country 1 ever saw, void of timber, timbei but very little grass or any­ thing else butshrubbery and rocks.rolling mountains of rocks as far as the eye can see, and about every hundred miles a range of pepetual snow moun­ tains. If there is a spark of home­ sickness in a man he will show it when he gets here. I do not wonder at it when I sec strong men here in Dawsun, sitting out alone, crying like a'child: many of them have spent the last dime of their life’s earnings and many have families in the states and ’ other countries that are destitute. A great many landed here with but little money and some without any, and no means to prospect with and are still here. They are shut away from tbeir fami­ lies, their friends and everything that makes life worth living for. Take it all in all it is pretty tough. I am glad to say that I have enough to eat, drink und wear and money to buy more, but this is not the case with some. We are determined to do one of the two things, either make a stake or leave our bodies in this land of snow, where the only song birds are raven and mosquito. Once in a while can hear a lonely wolf howling' on the mountains as if it was lost. The sun shines here now from ten a. m. until two p. in. In the summer time it is out of sight about the same length of time. I could not advise any one to come here with the assurance of making a fortune. Let me tell you Alaska is not made of gold. You can not pick up nubgets by the basket. A few have been lucky while thousands have been sadly of out luck. We have just ar­ rived at Dawson from our claims to get some things necessary for mining, such as hose, heavy hammers, drills, powder,«etc. Dawson has about 25,000 Inhabitants, it has been 68 degrees be­ low zero since we came here, there is but little snow here at present, game scarce, cariboo is tbe principal game. Dawson had a Heavy loss by fire, but is being rapidly built up again. Best regards to all, " Ch arles DeLong. The Kidney Complexion The pale, sallow, sunken-cheeked, distressed-looking people you so often meet arc afflicted with “Kidney Com­ plexion.’’ Their kidneys are turning parsnip color. So is their complexion. They may also have indigestion or suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous ex­ haustion and sometimes the heart acts badly. The cause is weak, unhealthy kid­ neys. Unusally the sufferer from kldney disease does not find out what the trouble is until it Is almost too late, because the first systoms arc so like mild sickness that they do not think they need any medicine or a doctor until they find themselves sick in bed. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root will build up and strengthen their weak and dis­ eased kidneys, purify their diseased, kidney-poisoned -blood, 'clear.their complexion and soon they will enjoy better health.

The increasing prevalence of dys- ■ pepsin has been a matter of the grav­ est concern to the medical profession, and for years leading scientists have been jexperijnenting to produce a remedy. Constant effort in this direc­ tion has introduced many prepar­ ation which barely afford temporary relief to sufferers. It remained for Prof. Drake, a chemist of many years experience, to produced a treatment which has proved to be a positive cure for the disease in all of its manifold forms, which is known as Drake's Dyspepsia Cure and Nerve Restorer. In order to obviate a common disad­ vantage to sufferers—that of buying medicine which has lain for years in drug stores as must necessarily be the case where ail druggists handle the same articie-the manufacturers are Blacing Drake’s Dyspepsia Cure and erve Restorer with a limited number of druggists, consequently you are sure to always receive the treatment fresh, although being put up in tablets and tightly sealed boxes, it will retain its freshness longer than in any other form. If you are troubled with indigestion, sour stomach, acid fermentation, water brash, headache, sleeplessness, or any form of ncrvpus dyspepsia, call at J. C.

A young Norwegian working in a St. Louis machine shop claims to have dis­ covered one of the lost arts—that of weld-, Ing copper. A specimen piece of welding was exhibited by C. W. Marshall, u friend of the young, mechanic, who for .the present withholds his name and the secret of his process. He has been experi­ menting for five years, and after almost giving up hit upon the idea accidentally. He was experimenting to temper copper, and in disgust threw a piece of the warm metal on the floor. When be picked it up it was perfectly welded to a small piece of ■tee!. The copper bad been treated by a liquid not intended for the purpose, but which proved the material to render it possible to be welded. He repeated the experiment several times, each time em­ ploying a larger piece of metal and meet­ ing with the same success. He shows how the welding Is accomplished in his little machine shop, but will not disclose the na­ ture of the materials used until he has secured a patent on his secret. The speci­ men shown was perfect, the two metals apparently being drawn together with the solidity of one substance. Union Pacific Landto Sold.

BATTLE WITH BANDITS, Bold Robbers Raid ’ Harry Berkeley Brown, who died at the Lucas County infirmary at Toledo, Ohio, recently, had a romantic story con­ nected with his life.

He received remittances of large amounts from England every few months regularly. His brother, Frank Brown of Cliff House, St. Nicholas street, Worces­ ter, England, has been notified of his death. The deceased was an expert draughtsman and stonecutter, but of late he had been dissipating so that his phy­ sical strength had been exhausted before he was taken down with lung fever, which killed him.

It was from there that the scientists arranged to start on an expedition, having for its object the ex­ ploration of the Yellow river sooth of the Kokonor. At this point their servants de­ serted them. In the upper Tabo valley the party wan attacked by about thirty robbers, one-half of whom kept up a lively fusillade while their companions raided the animals of- the expedition. The ex­ plorer* returned the fire nnd wounded sev­ eral of their assailants.

NEW GUATEMALA RAILROAD. C. P. Huntington Likely to Build An- Negotiations are on foot between C. P. Huntington and President Cabrera of Guatemala which, if consummated, will result in tbe building of 130 miles of rail­ road in Guatemala, by the means of which the little southern republic will have an overland line from the Pacific to the At­ lantic. Mr. Huntington already owns a road in that country. It runs from San Jose, a port 'on the Pacific, to the city of Guatemala, a distance of seventy-four miles. It has an important branch run­ ning from Santa Maria north to Patuhil. through a rich coffee district. The rail­ road cost about *3,000,000 in gold, and pays an annual net profit of about 15 per cent. Mr..Huntington will also probably secure control of the Government road from Porto Barrios to St. Augustin and a line between Champerico to San Felipe. By joining these properties with his sys­ tem he would control the transportation problem in Guatemala. MANY DESTITUTE AT DAWSON. Growing Beriou*. The United States consul at Dawson, L J- C.

President ' McKinley has decided the regular army of 65,000 men wilt be ample force nt present, and that no steps shall be taken to organize a provisional army of 35.000 volunteers. This decision was reached in view of the favorable outlook in. Cuba and Porto Rico and the prospect in the Philippines that the outbreak there will be suppressed at an early day. Enlistments to bring up the strength of the regular army to .the number au­ thorized by Congress, 65,000 men. will be, made at once. The roster of the major generals of the provisional army has also been decided on. according to the best information obtainable. It is as follows: Nelson A. Miles. major general command­ ing: Wesley F. Merritt, department of the east; John R. Brooke, department of Cuba; Elwell S. Otis, department of the Philippines: William R. Shafter, depart­ ment of California. This is a disappoint­ ment to Gen.

The Atkinson railway taxation bill passed the Srnaate Tuesday afternoon by n unanimous vote, ohe member being ab­ sent. The bill had pawed the Hoose. but hud been amended iu tbe Senate in sev­ eral particulars. The most important Senate amendments are those requiring confirmation by the Senate of (be Gov­ ernor’s appointees upon the State Board of Assessors, deposing tbe Governor as president of that board, and striking out provisions for forfeiture of franchises as penalty for non-payment of taxes. After all tbe discussion on the measure it was discovered that the bill did not provide for the taxation of railroads, but only for that of telegraph, telephone and express, companies, the word “railroads" having in some way been omitted and not discov­ ered in the House. This amendment was made. The bill now provides that the nominations of members of the State Board of Assessors made by the Gov­ ernor must be made during tbe legislative sessiqn. The salaries of members of the board are reduced from $5,000 per year to $2,500. On Wednesday in tbe lower house of the Legislature the Atkinson bill was made a special order for Thursday after­ noon, that the amendments mode by the Senate might be considered. The House Thursday afternoon concur­ red in all the amendments made by the Senate to the Atkinson railway taxation bill. The action was unanimous. The amendments deprive the Governor of a place on the board of assessors and of the power to appoint the assessors indepen­ dent of the Senate. Final action wns taken on joint resolutions tinder which the people will vote nt the April election on propositions to amend the constitution so ns to establish a State printing office and bindery,-and to establish an interme­ diate court of final jurisdiction for the purpose of relieving the Supreme Court. .

In his features, face and skull Aguloaldo looks more like a European than a Malay. He is handsome, according to Spanish standard of masculine beau­ ty. Friends ami enemies agree that he Is Intelligent, ambitious, far-sighted, brave, self-controlled, honest, moral, vindictive, and at times cruel. To those who like him he Is courteous polished, thoughtful and dignified. To those who Spala before resorting to arms. He ex­ hausted diplomacy completely and then prepared to fight As an organizer of the natives he was a wonder. Like Bonaparte, he seemed to exert a strange fascination upon bls people. Wherever he went he was followed by troops of admirers, and while other generals suffered at times he and his camp were always supplied with the choicest supplies and comforts. Nor was the feeling of more than admira­ tion confined to the Tagals, stolid Igorrotes, and half-naked Negritos. Cun­ ning and skeptical half-breeds, and even Spaniards themselves, seemed to share in this odd hero-worship. MACHINE KEEF?S BOOKS.

His friends say that he was the son of a Spanish general; bls enemies In Manila that he was the offspring ot a dissolute but learned Jesuit. At the age of 4 be was a house boy in the home of a Jesuit prli»t In Cavite. A bouse boy In tbe Philippines, as in China, plays the part of a house dog rather than that of a domestic servant. If the head of the bouse Is cruel be is kicked and cuffed by everybody and lives on short commons; If his master Is kind and affectionate be enjoys about the same attention ns onp of the chil­ dren of the family. The only work which he does is to run from one part of tbe bouse to the other or from the bouse to any part of the grounds with­ in the compound or space inclosed by the walls around the entire establish­ ment. He helps tbe table boy to clean tbe silver, to scour the knives, and to set and unset the table. Agulnaldo’s master was a very kind man and took a deep Interest In the welfare of his little protege. He dressed him well, so much so as to excite tbe notice and even the wrath of some neighbors. More Important still, he gave the boy an education, which, though unequal to what every child receives In the United States, was a hundredfold better than what is bestowed upon tbe little Tagals of Luzon. Agulnaldo was nn apt scholar. He was precocioua like the Malay, ambi­ tious like the Caucasian, nnd bad a memory like the Chinaman—the great­ est memory possessed by man. At the age df seven he was tbe equal of most half-breed boys of 12. At 10 he was mentally the superior of most of the half-breeds of bls district. When he was 14 or 15 he was enroUed In the medical department ot the Pontifical University of Manila, under Profs. Nalda and Buitrago. He wns a bright student, but nothing is known of his college career. Shortly after this time he committed what is an unpardonable sin, both secular and religious.

New York City, is operated by electricity. It marks in a depositor’s book the amount of his deposit, nnd makes a duplicate of the entry on a tajw locked in a box attached to the machine. At the same time the amount of the deposit Is au­ tomatically added to the total of the bank's transactions, so that a glance at* the latter would tell just how much money tbe bank had received since its organization. Tbe machine Is placed on a table at the teller’s right hand. In from of it is a keyboard, with rows of figures ar­ ranged like the letters on a typewriter. When a deposit is made the teller places the depositor’s book under a cylinder filled with movable figures on the side of the machine. Then he pulls the figures on the keyboard that rep­ resent theamount of the deposit These figures are connected by wires with the figures on the cylinder. The teller next moves a lever and that sets the ma­ chine In motion. The amount of the deposit Is printed on the book nnd at the same time on a tape locked in a box placed just above the cylinder, so that a double entry Is made. Should the teller make any mistake there fa an Ingenious contrivance attached to th© machine that would prevent It from working and thus notify him of the error. After the entries have been made In the depositor’s book and on the bank's tape another cylinder Is set In motion. This is in the middle of the machine and contains movable figures running THIS MACHIXH KEEPS BOOKS. up into the millions. These figures tell the total of the bauk’s receipts since It was organized and the amount that has just been deposited Is added to it At tbe end of a day’s business the officials of the bank add together the totals registered on the two receiving machines, deduct from them the total registered on tbe paying out machine and strike a trial balance in a moment Tbe machines are Inclosed in glass cases, so that every part can be readily seen.

The increasing prevalence of dyspcjwia has been a matter of the grav­ est concern to the medical profession, and for years leading scientists have been ^experimenting to produce a remedy. Constant effort in this direc­ tion has introduced many prepar­ ation which barely afford temporary relief to sufferers. It remained for Prof. Drake, a chemist of many years experience, to produced a treatment' which has proved to be a positive cure for the disease in all of its manifold forms, which is known as Drake’s Dyspepsia Cure and Nerve Kestorer. In order to obviate a common disad­ vantage to sufferers—that of buying medicine which has lain for years in drug stores as must necessarily be the case where all druggists handle the same articie-the manufacturers are placing Drake’s Dyspepsia Cure and Nerve Restorer with a limited number of druggists, consequently you are sure to always receive the treatment fresh, although being put up in tablets and tightly sealed boxes, it will retain its freshness longer than in any other form.

Henchard went down the street till he came to Farfrae’s house, where be knock­ ed and left a message that he would be glad, to see hia employer at the granaries as soon as he conveniently eould come there. Having done this, be proceeded round to the back and entered the yard. ' He retired a few step« into a loft, aud waited. From thia elevated perch his eye could sweep the roofs roundabout, the up­ per port .of the luxurious chestnut trees, now delicate in leaves of a week’s age, and the drooping boughs of the limes, Farfrae's’Rarden, and the green door leading therefrom. In course of time—he could . not say how long—that green door opened, • and Farfrae came through. He was dress­ ed n if for a journey. The low light of the nearing evening caught his head and face when he emerged from the shadow . of the wall, wanning them to a complex­ ion of flame-color. Henchard watched him with his mouth firmly set, the squareness of his jaw and the verticality of bls pro­ file being unduly marked. Farfrae came on with one hand in his pocket, and humming a tune in a way which told that the words were most in his mind. They were those of the song he bad sung when he arrived, years before, at the King of Prussia, a poor young man,, adventuring for life and fortune, aud acarcely knowing whitherward: . “And here's a hand, my trusty ficre. And gie a hand c’’thine.” Nothing moved Henchard like an old mel­ ody. He sunk back. "No; I can't do it," he gasped. - “Why does the infernal fool begin that now?’ At length Farfrae wns silent, and Hen­ chard looked out of the loft door. "Will ye come u£F here?" he said. “Ay, man," said Farfrae. “I couldn't ■see ye. What’s amiss?" » A minute later Henchard heard bis feet -on the lowest ladder. He heard him land •on the first floor, ascend nnd land on the ■aecond. begin the ascent to the third. And then hia head rose through the trap behind. . "What are you doing up here at ’this time?" he asked, coming forward. "Why -didn't ye take your holiday like the rest •of the men?" lie spoke in a tone which had just severity enough in it to show that ' he remembered the untoward event of the tforenoon. Henchard sard nothing; but, going back, be closed the stair hatchway, and stamped upon it so that it went tight into its frame; he next turned to the wondering young man, who by this time observed that one of Henchard’s arms whs bound to Eis side. “Now,” said Henchard, quietly, ‘‘we -stand face to face—man to man. Your money and your fine wife no longer lift ye <bove me as they did but now, and my poverty does not press me down." “What does it all mean?" asked Far­ frae, simply. “Walt a bit, my lad. You should have thought twice before you affronted to ex­ tremity a'man who had nothing to lose. I’ve borne your rivalry, which ruined me, and your snubbing, which humbled me; but your hustling, that disgraced me, I won't stand!"

It was a wrestling match, the object of each being to give his antagonist a back fall, and on Hen­ chard's part unquestionably, that it should be through tbe door. By a fearful whirl Henchard brought Donald dangerously near the precipice; seeing his position, the Scotchman for the first time locked himself to bis adversary, and all efforts of that infuriated Prince of Darkness—as be might have been call­ ed from his appearance just now—were in­ adequate to lift or loosen him fof a time. By an extraordinary effort he succeeded at last, though not until they had got far back again from the fatal door. In doing so Henchard contrived to turn Farfrae a complete somersault. Had Henchard’s other arm been free, it would have been all over with Farfrae then. But again hs regained his feet, wrenching Hench­ ard’s arm considerably, and causing him sharp pain, as could be seen from tbe twitching of his face.

Your life is in my hands.” •’Then take it,” said Farfrae. “You’ve wished to long.” Henchard looked down upon him in si­ lence, and their eyes met. “Oh, Farfrae —that’s not true!” he said, bitterly. “Heaven is my witness that no man ever loved another as,J did thee at one time. And now—thougfi I came here to kill 'ee, I cannot hurt thee. Go and give me in charge—do what you will—I care nothing for what comes of me." .

It will pay tv thin potatoes to one stalk, in a place and so give all the strength and moisture rof tbe land to those-that remain. It might be well to cut all eyes of tbe potatoes when planted, except such, as are desired to grow, and sp save the trouble of thin­ ning out the field to some extent. There Is no profit In growing a large crop ot potatoes unless they are of •merchant­ able size. Tbe largest potatoes are al­ ways found where the largest and strongest stalks grow, and tbe small ones where they are small and weak. It is a mistake to plant small seed. or to cut the large ones to one or two eyes to save seed and to reduce the numbet of plants, as the common practice Is. It Is much better to plant whole pota­ toes of good size, or. if large.- to cut them.nt most only In halves. Of course it will cost more to seed a field, but with good seed properly thinned, much better results can be obtained. If one desires to raise the largest quantity possible, from a few seed, great results can be obtained by taking off the shoots find transplanting, but the )>otafoes will not grow large. It may not be known to some people that each eye in a potato Is capable of pro­ ducing a large number of shoots; as fast as taken off others will grow. Usu­ ally not more than two or three to each eye will start when planted, but that number is far too many to be left to grow.—Orange Judd Farmer. . Trcea by the Roadside. ' Many farmers when setting out trees by the roadside make the mistake of planting only one variety, which hap­ pens to iM^the one that they particu­ larly admire. But variety of scenery adds much to its attractiveness, and a row of trees of different kinds shows in tbe varying foliage far more beauty than a single variety coUid do. Besides, where there Is a long row of trees, some will be on low and wet soil, and others on that which Is high and dry. Besides, each kind of tree should have the particular soil that it Is best adapt­ ed to. An exception to this rule of In­ terspersing varieties is found where rows of sugar maples are planted along roadsides, to be tapped for sap when old enough. It Is then economy to have the trees In unbroken rows, so that the Sap may be gathered more easily. A row or grove of maples near the house will usually be tapped every spring, while the more distant sugar bush may be neglected, when the woods are full of deep snow and It Is hard work to get into them. Corn. But for the great corn crop made in the South last season the price would be mountain high, and the cotton States would be badly stranded. The escape from the peril Incident to being caught between the rocks of 4^-cent cotton aud $1 corn. Should afford a warning never to be forgotten. It is among the probabilities of the near future that the Gulf States will be called upon to reverse the old order of things and ship to the West, for the unfertilized lands of that section are not responding with their old-time har­ vest of that cereal. For the next few years, aud perhaps always,* there will be a splendid mar­ ket for corn and hay in Cuba and Porto Rico, that we ought to capture and con­ trol; and when the work begins on the Nicaragua Canal the Gulf States should supply the corn and forage consumed in course of construction, as well as the cattle, mules and lumber’ and later on we should make enormous shipments of these products through the great canal.—Aberdeen Ex. Most of the forest trees have very lit­ tle variation from their original stock when grown from seed. With trees that have been long in cultivation, the variation is so much greater that the only way to secure tiie Identical va­ riety desired is by budding and graft­ ing. It is probable that cultivation and better care given to trees‘and plants has much to do with making new and better varieties It Is after seasons that are unusuallv favorable to fruit of all kinds that the best varieties have been originated. It is always worth wldle to plant the seed of extra choice fruit and see what variety will come from it—Exchange. A great deal of the complaint of over­ production of dairy products would l>e obviated if more farmers made a prac­ tice each year of using enough milk for cheese to have a supply always on the family tabje. There Is no better, cheap­ er or moife healthful nutrition than can be found In cheese. It contains all the strength-giving nutrition for which meat is often eaten, aud even when bought at retail, tfie)cheese gives this much more cheaply than meat could do. Almost everybody likes cheese, and if more farmers made and used it, they would avoid the necessity of eating an excess of meat, as many now do, in hot weather. Feedins: Cotton-Seed Meal. Cotton-seed meal is extremely dif­ ficult of digestion, nnd should never be given to young animals or those which from advanced age have a weak diges­ tion. The hull which Is shown by dark spots in the meal Is almost entirely In­ digestible. Calves nnd pigs have been killed by eating small amounts of dark cotton-seed meal. Ruminant animals can digest it better, but it Is so concen­ trated a food that it ought always to be fetl with some bulky but less nutri­ tious ration. A small amount of cot­ ton-seed meal in a pailful of bran mash can be eaten safely by a cow. �STORM IN THE SOUTH. GREAT HAVOC 18 WROUGHT BY A TORNADO- FILIFmO* FAIL TO TAKE MANILA WATER WORKS.

The enemy opened tbe attack suddenly in the night, hoping to capture the water work*, which arc looked upon ns the key to Manila, and poa&ession of which would enable the in­ surgents to poison or abut off the water supply of the city. The double attack was carefully planned, and would have beefi successful but for the admirable discipline and watchfulness of the American troops. The rebels were encouraged to make the attempt by the possession of two new cannon of modern type, which they had acquired in some unexplained manner, and which were used for the first time. • In the fighting three members of the Ne­ braska regiment, two Wisconsin volun­ teers, nnd two ambulance men were wounded. The opening attacks by the insurgents in the night were made simnltaneouHly at n point six miles from the city, com­ manding the water works, and at 'San Tolan. Under cover of darkness the main force of the insurgents approached to within a short distance of the outposts of the Second Oregon and n battalion of the First Nebraska Regiment.

Dispatches from Pekin say: “The tsung li yamen (Chinese foreign office) has returned to the Italian charge d'af­ faires, Marquis Salvage Raggi, bis dis­ patch containing the demand of the Ital­ ian Government for a leaae of San Mun Bay on tbe same conditions as those un­ der which Germany holds Kiao-Cbou Bay, accompanying It with a letter declar­ ing that the Chinese Government is una­ ble to grant the request. ' "The demand of the Italian Govern­ ment for a ninety-nine-year lease of San Mun Bay, province of Cbe Kiang, as a coaling station and naval base, included also n demand for the concession of three islands off the coast of Che Kiang, with the right to construct a railroad from Bon Mun Bay to Po-Yang Lake and to prefer­ ential railroad and mining privileges with­ in a sphere of influence covering the southern two-thirds of Cbe Kiang province. “According to tbe dispatch the action of the Italian Government bad caused great excitement there, not only among the Chinese but also among the foreign diplomats, the Chinese being convinced that Great Britain was chiefly responsible for the demand nnd that it had been made to emphasize Great Britain’s displeasure at the turn which the northern railroad question had taken.” FRIENDS SHOW NO SURPRISE. Wolcott Divorce Proceed Inga Have Been Looked For. The friends and acquaintances in Wash­ ington of Senator aud Mrs. Edward O. Wolcott are apparently not surprised at the news that they have arranged for the bringing of a suit for divorce. Since their marriage nine yean ago the Wolcott* have been prominent socially, and those wbo know them intimately were aware that they were living on anything but amicable terms. There is the highest authority for the statement that no charges except incom­ patibility of temper and desertion are con­ templated or justified. The suit will be brought in Colorado and Senator Wolcott will make no defense. HAYWARD NAMED SENATOR. Will Be Taken Under Different In joint session of the Nebraska Legis­ lature, NF. L. Hayward was elected Unit­ ed States Senator to succeed William V. Allen. He received 74 votes, tbe solid Re­ publican inemtM*r»bip. with tbe exception of one absent. This ended the long and at times bitter content. Judge Hayward was born in Willsboro, N. Y., Dec. 22. 1840. At the outbreak of the dril war he enlisted in the Twentysecond New York Infantry, nnd was afforward'transferred to the Fifth cavalry. He was discharged in. December, 1862, owing to disability arising from sickness. On returning home he entered Fort Ed­ wards College Institute, where he com- pleted his education. His father bad re­ moved to Wisconsin, and young Hayward fallowed. He studied law at Whitewater aud went to Nebraska in 1867, settling at Nebraska City, where he has since resid­ ed. He never held any office except that of member of the State constitutional con­ vention in 1873 and a short term on the bench iu 1886, when he filled out the rvtuainder of a term by appointment from the Governor. He Tins a wife, one daugh­ ter ami two sons, one of whom, Edwin P., is a surgeon in the United States army. The other.

Z "CURTAIN-FACED" MAN DEAD. Puzzle of Fcientlata in Life Rcmaina Michael Kelley, who for twenty-five years was the puzzle of aclentista, the fright of children and, in fact, the stran­ gest cose Bellevue (New York) hospital ever had, died the other day In that In­ stitution. He was known ns “The Cur­ tain-faced Man.” Upon his head, neck and face, long stringy bits of flesh grew, forming a fringe of living tissue. The na­ ture or composition of the growth was never determined, the physicians and sur­ geons being content with the generic name of tumor to designate Kelley's mal­ ady. The pathologists hoped in death to re­ veal the significance of the grewsome spec­ tacle; but in this they were thwarted, for wealthy relatives claimed the body, pre­ venting under the peculiar provisions of the State autopsy law the performance of a post-mortem examination. Northern tourists orc arriving in Cuba nt the rate of a hundred a day. and the leading Havana hotels arc already over­ crowded. Guillermo Dolz, a brother of the late Spanish autonomist minister of public works for Cuba, has .been appointed by Governor General Brooke to the civil governorship of Pinar del Rio province. The men of the Seventh army corps are to have a new form of amusement near their camp- It is a good old Ameri­ can circus, which Mr. Stickney, the owner and manager, has imported irom the States. Some of the trumpeters of the Seventh army corps have developed a likfng for the Spanish bugles, and it is no uncommon thing now out in the Mariauao camps to hear the high, shrill notes of a Spanish bugle sounding an American call. El Occidente, a Guannjay newspaper, urges Cuban land holders not to sell their property to Americans, and insists that the rapid acquirement of Cuban estates by American nnd foreign syndicates ia the greatest menace to future independence. The officers of the Third Nebraska have leased a dwelling bouse on the'Marianao road, near their camp in Ceiba, and fitted it out ns a club. It is a delightful resort, and is well patronized by the officers of the Nebraska regiment and their friends. Mnj. Gen. Brooke governs Cuba from a little wooden hotel, the Trotchn, in the suburb Velado, about two miles from the dty boundary proper. He has no senti­ nels, no guards saluting, no secret service men in plain clothes protecting his person. A collection of postage stamps is nowsdays not complete without the “mourn­ ing" stamp recently issued by Spain. It is jet black, is marked on one side in white letters, “5 cent,” and on the other, "Impto. de Guerra” (“war tax") and 1898-’99. The stamp is affixed to all do­ mestic letters as a "war tax,” in addition to the regular (MNitage stamp, otherwise that letter “doesn't go.” American tourists may no longer have ths pleasure of visiting the wreck of the Maine in Havana bay, Commodore Crom­ well having by a late decree forbidden CapIfoL Among the reports brought over by cbe boats to approach'the remains, upon pain The appropriation of $9,000 by the steamer Empress of India is one to the of $5 fine, and of $50 tine to occupant* Stale of Illinois, to be devoted to a memo­ effect that the rebels defeated the Impe­ thereof. rial at the capital of Miss Frances Willard rial troops near Kuyjnig late iu January.

MANY KILLED IN CHINA. Imperial Troops Defeated by Rebel* body being found 700 feet away with the head torn off by a wire fence.. His 4-yearold son escaped. A dozen bouses, includ­ ing the new school building, at Madison­ ville were badly damaged. A party was tn progress al Edward Horton's home when it was struck and demolished. At Knoxville Mrs. McClain's house, blew down, frightening her so that she died in a few minutes. The storm came up with alarming sud­ denness and swept everything in its path. It was accompanied by the roar usually attending cyclones. Frightened Inhabit­ ants rushed for their cellars and places of safety. In tbe country great damage was done to orchards and crops by tbe wind and hail. It is reported that further Cas­ ualties resulted in outlying rural district*. Soil valued at $1,000,000 was washed away by the streams in Washington and Hawkins counties. Most of the streams have reached the danger line and continue rising. In addition to tbe loss of life and the destruction of residence property that has been reported, barns were swept away and stock killed. The wood working and milling plant of J. H. Burleson was also damaged, together with the costly ma­ chinery it contained. The property dam­ aged is. not secured by storm insurance and is believed to be a total loss. Reports from upper east Tennessee points are to the effect that a heavy wind­ storm prevailed and was accompanied by heavy rains. The rains did untold dam­ age to crops In that section and it la con­ servatively estimated that this torrent, coupled with the recent freeze and bad weather, will mean a loss of $1,000,000 to fanners in that section. A terrific storm of wind, hail and light­ ning struck Decatur, Ala., doing great damage and causing the loss of four lives. The huge tower of the long-distance tele­ phone company, 140 feet high, which car­ ries the wires spanning the Tennessee river, was snapped like a reed. Several manufacturing plants suspended on ac­ count of damage to buildings and machinAt Marietta, Ga., the roofs of several buildings were blown off nnd considera­ ble damage was done by water. At El­ berton, Ga., the court house was badly damaged and the new Episcopal Church, which was just about completed, was to­ tally demolished. Great damage to prop­ erty has been reported. At Atlanta, im­ mense hailstones and over two Inches of rain fell. A negro was killed by a live wire falling on him. Rain in the Ohio Valley. There has been a heavy rainfall, prin­ cipally south and east of the Ohio river, extending from below4the Kentucky river up to Morgantown, W. Va. Two-thirda of Charlestown, W. Va., is nnder water. The river at that point is over forty-one feet, which equals the highest record there. The heaviest rise is in the Great Kanawha, ^but the Little Kanawha, the Big Sandy,*the Licking and the Kentucky rivers are pouring in tremendous flood*. At Catlettsburg, where the Big Ssndy comes in, it is highest—forty-nine feet— and reported rising six inches an hour. At Point Pleasant, at the mouth of the Kan­ awha, It .a forty-one feet and rising si«r Inches hourly. At Portsmouth it is forty­ eight feet and rising rapidly. At Cincin­ nati the river is forty-eight feet and riaIng. Charleston, W. Va., is almost entire­ ly under water. Four feet of water sur­ rounds the Capitol. MILLIONS PAID TO THEATERS. era During a Season. It is doubtful if anybody realizes the large num total that is being paid by the public for Its theatrical amusements. When one talks about $20,000,000 being taken in by the theaters during the cur­ rent season it may seem like drawing the long bow, but the sum total of the sea­ son's receipts throughout the country will more than equal that amount, says a New York paper. The following figures are given to represent the sums paid to the­ aters in various cities: The larger cities during the period from Sept 1 to May 1 next will have paid to its theaters and for its opera season about $10,950,000, in the following proportions: Sew York..$6.000.000,$L Louis. 750.000 Chicago ... 2,«M),000;2lDctnaatL.. -•------Wu.000 Boston .... 2,000.0003.

The naval powder magazine of La Goubran, between La Seine and Toulon, in the department of Var, southern France, exploded Sunday morning. Many of the soldiers, on duty at tbe magazine were killed and a number of inhabitants of the surrounding district, the building* in which were razed, also fell victims. Sixty corpses were recovered. Fifty thousand kilogrammes of black powder exploded. It looks, a correspon­ dent says, as though a volcanic eruption had occurred, the country being swept al­ most bare within a radius of two miles, houses destroyed, trees overturned and distorted, fields devastated and covered with stones and impalpable black dust. At Caldwell, Kan., a man chastised hia neighbor for referring to hia child os a "kid.” When the case was brought be­ fore a justice of the peace, Webster's dictionary was consulted, and it waa found that "kid" wns there defined as "a young child or infant.” The indignant parent was thereupon adjudged to have been in the wrong and was fined $5 am] costs. _________ A Mazrachtutetta farmer ia being sued for sneezing m loud on the public highway uh to cause the p^unnd’s horse to rue < SAGINAW MICHIGAN LANSING O. -' rhe Greatest Success of the Age Sold in Nashville only by E.

Upon the stones were rudely engraved hieroglyphics, which had been mare or less obliterated by the actions of the elements and could be but partially deciphered. The Finlanders say the mound* are identical with ♦hose employed by the Russian Gov­ ernment in making boundaries. Their belief is that the mounds indicate the eastern boundary of Russia's old-time Alaskan possessions. DRY GOODS, MILLINERY, ETC. Spring Produces Marked Activity Among Jobber* in Then Line*.

The cereals weak­ ened during the week, probably in sym­ pathy with wheat. Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 4,114,040 bushels, against 4,398,821 bush­ els last week. Corn exports for the week aggregate 4,211,328 bushels, against 3,­ 737,586 bushels last week.” MAY CLASH IN BLACK HILLS. Fight Predicted Between the Cattle and Sheep Kaiser* on the Ranges. There are prospects of a serious clash this spring between the cattle and sheep raisers on the Black Hills ranges of South Dakota. Scattered all over the eastern bills are small cattle owners who. depend •olely upon their herds for support. Of late large numbers of sheep raisers have been taking up ranches in the cattle coun­ try and allowing their flocks to run over the range, ruining it for cattle feeding. Numerous threats have been made by the cattle raisers to drive the sheep off the ranges. This will undoubtedly be resist­ ed, in which case bloodshed is almost cer­ tain. ________ MARCONI SYSTEM TO BE TRIED. Government to Conduct a Serie* of Wirele** Telegraphy Experiment*. The War.

Kan., have organized a club the members of which are pledged, under pen­ alty ot death, not to marry outside the Cherokee race. Women also will be ad­ mitted to this strange organization in the future. They must be Cherokee Indian* —that is the only qualification to become a member—and they, too. must swear never to receive the attentions or become the wife of anyone except a member of the tribe. If they, do not receive a pro­ posal from a Cherokee youth they mu*t go to their grave* old maid*. The club ia growing rapidly among the. elder mem­ bers of the tribe. Young and patriotic full blood* also are. enthusiastic In its interest. It has been named "The Anti­ American Marriage Club." One clause of the constitution is as follows: "After one affixes his or her name to these reso­ lution*. and then marries outside of the race, be shall suffer death a* the penalty. He shall be shot in the dark by some member of this club, whose name none of the other* will know, in accordance with au arrangement not written in these resolution*, but known to the organizers."

Comp­ troller Dawes has levied an assessment of 100 per cent on the stock of the defunct National Rank of Illinois of Chicago, which was capitalized at $1,000,000. Re­ ceiver McNuIta has also been directed to make a further investigation of the affairs of the bank with a view of com­ mencing an action for damages against the directors aud officers of the bank, which was wrecked by their bad manage­ ment. The Comptroller said that he had fore­ seen for some time the necessity of this assessment, and that while he regretted that it would fall heavily upon a great number of innocent shareholders, he had no choice in the course which by law he is compelled to take. Mt. Dawes de­ clined to make public the names of the shareholders who by this nrfier will be re­ quired to pay into the bank a sum equal to the original value of the stock. Comptroller Dawes estimates the defi­ ciency in the assets at $1,200,000, and the assessment on the stock, if fully paid, will bring in >1,000,000. On account of the present financial condition of some of the stockholders, however, it ia said that 35 Gen.

Sure enough, by the light of the dying embers the little posse could discern the forms of tbe greasers. The cattle feeding near were those taken from Davis' ranch. "We'll give you five minutes to get ready,” said tbe Major to the Mexicans, who pleaded abjectly, as they were surrounded. At the end of five min­ utes they were lined up and shot. .

Under pressure he finally made a false confession, in which he said that be had pushed his wife into the lake, at the foot of the Randolph street pier. This was not believed, and until Tuesday night the true story of how Becker killed bis wife was not known.

Accord­ ing to the terms of the agreement drawn up at Paris the ratifications must be ex­ changed by June 10. In the absence of any direct diplomatic communication between the United Bute* and Spain, Secretary Hay expects to re­ ceive his first formal notice of the ratifi­ cation of the peace treqty by the Queen Regent through the medium of the French embassy. Spain must name her special envoy and notify tho United State* Gov­ ernment of the probable date upon which he will present himself in Washington with the exchange copy of the treaty of peace. Although uf most instances little more than a perfunctory ceremony, in the ease of the exchange of ratification* of this treaty the details will be of more than ordinary interest, for the occasion will be historical. MINERS IN A BATTLE. Clash Between American* and Cana­ dian* in Alaska. News has been received that a battle was fought between American and Cana­ dian miners a few miles off tbe Dalton trail. Four men an- retried to have been killed outright aud u number of others are said to have been seriously wounded. When the alien mining law of British nue at a time when tbq street was througtbe American miners left Atlin. the new Canadian gold district, and struck north. A short distance off the Dalton trail on the Porcupine river they found a district rich in placer gold. It was generally con­ ceded that the new pincers were in Ameri­ can territory, and tbe miners vowed that no Canadian should stake a claim. Some Canadian mounted policemen, however, did stake claims in the American terri­ tory. aud justified their act by moving the Canadian flag from Mount Pleasant on the trail so as to make the line take in a rich part of the district. They were followed by nt least forty Canadian min­ ers, who all located good claims. A fortnight ago about 160 American miners held a meeting and decided to send notices to all Canadians to leave the country within five days. The notice* were sent out, but no heed was paid to them. Early on the morning of the sixth day the American miners met nnd pro­ ceeded to the Canadian camp. Before they could even state the object of their visit some one fired a shot, and then every­ one seemed to be shooting. Several rounds were fired, and four men were killed outright—an America? and three Canadians. The battle was very brief and resulted in the Canadians, about fifty In number. fleeing across the border. Tbe Americans then retired to their own camp. SIX M?N slain. Sanguinary Battle in tbe Street* of Hot Sprint:*, Ark. As a result of a shooting affray in the streets of Hot Springs, Aqk., five men were killed outright and one mortally wounded. The affray was between Sher­ iff Williams nnd friends on one side and Policeman Goalee and adherents on the other. The fight occurred in Central aveColumbia-wa* enforced a few months ago ed with people and it is remarkable that others were not killed or injured. Tbe origin of tbe trouble was an encoun­ ter early in tbe afternoon between. Po­ liceman Gosiee and Sheriff Williams, when the former made an unsuccessful at­ tempt to kill the latter, shooting at him three times. Subsequently Gosiee and John O. Williams, son of the sheriff, met in the street, and tbe former proposed to let the matter drop. As the two men were in the act of shaking ^fffids some one shot young Williams from behind. This was the signal for hostilities, in which Chief Toler, Policeman Gosiee, Detective Hart and Louis Hinkle were instantly killed. The shooting was the result of feeling growing out of the maj oralty contest. The sheriff was a warm supporter of the reg­ ular Democratic nominee, while Toler, Hart and Gosiee were supporting an op­ position candidate. General Wheaton Inflict* Heavy Los* on Filipino*. Gen. Lloyd Wheaton, commanding the United States flying column, attacked and defeated a force of 2,000 Filipinos at Pasig Wednesday afternoon, inflicting a heavy loss upon them. The American loss was slight. The Americans captured 350 Filipinos. Many bodies of rebels killed in the engagement floated down the river. Gen. Wheaton's brigade continue* tbe work of clearing out the rebels around Pasig. The Washington volunteers cap­ tured and burned Pateros, meeting with a sharp fire from the enemy while crossing the river. The fighting was like that of the last week, the insurgents occasionally making a stand, but eventually Aiding. The progress of the Americans' advance has been slow. Three thousand insurgents moved down Tuesday night to towns of Pasig and Pa­ teros, on shore of Laguanda bay, fronting Wheaton's troops on Pasig river line. By heavy fighting Wheaton dislodged and drove them back, taking 400 prisoners and inflicting heavy loss in killed and wounded. His loss was very moderate. He now occupies these towns with suffi­ cient force to hold them. Officials at the War Department are gratified over the victories of Gen. Whea­ ton. and predict further successful ad­ vances in the near future. It is under­ stood that the policy of Gen. Otis is to drive tlie insurgents without cessation in­ to the uncultivated region before the rainy season sets in. There they will have noth­ ing to subsist on, and it is thought they will lay down their arms. This has Iteen prevented heretofore by a general belief among them that they would be shot or imprisoned if they surrendered. It has been determined to withdraw all the volunteer troops from Cuba with all possible dispatch, orders to this effect hav­ ing been issued by the Secretary of War. There are two reasons tor this decision, one being the reorganization of the army, and the other because the unsanitary con­ ditions which will exist in Cuba at the be­ ginning of the rainy season. It is expect­ ed to have all the volunteers out of the Island within a month nnd certainly by May 1. There are now about 25,000 vol­ unteers and when these are withdrawn regulars will not be sent to relieve them at once, as the President wishes to garri­ son Cuba with ax small a number of troops as possible on account of the health con­ ditions. This movement will begin at once and all the volunteer* will be return­ ed as soon as transports can be supplied. When the troops reach this country they will be mustered out at the port at which they arrive, and given two months’ extra pay, together with their fare home. The customs receipts of the government are climbing dally, according to the treas­ ury bureau of statistics. They are uow coming in at the rate of >560.900 a day, or more than half the daily expenditures of the government, as shown by the rec­ ords, of the last few years. During the tatter part of the year 1898 the war rev­ enue tax brought in >55.286.831; the duty on tea amounted to $2,f79.787, nnd the Pacific Railroad sales footed up $14,841,­ 401. All told the total receipts of the year 1898 were $442,631,251. Senator Fairbanks of Indiana was the recipient of a Spanish sword, gilt handle, Toledo blade, the gift of u grateful sol­ dier whose discharge he bad procured.

With the progress of the dance the per­ formers spread out somewhat, and then for the first time he caught a glimpse of the once-despised* daughter who had mas­ tered him and made hl* heart ache. She was In a dress of white silk or satin—he was not near enough to say which—snowy white, without a tinge of milk dr cream; and the expression of her face was one of nervous pleasure rather than of gayety. Presently Farfrae came round, hl* exub­ erant movement making him conspicuous in a moment. The pair were not dancing together, but Henchard could discern that whenever the interchanges of the- figure made them the partners for a moment, their emotions breathed a much subtler essence than at other times.

Mr. Jones has been known in his community as a man whose word is as good as h bond, and his fellow townsmen have availed themselves of his ability by placing Him on the nehool board, electing him a super­ visor of his township, and sendinghim to the state legislature.

He selected one of the finest carriages these enterprising dealers had in stock. Mr. Jonea. also bought of Reynolds A Humphrey one of the popular Birdsell farm wagons. Secure* the Order. There was considerable competition to sell Jones iiia builders’ hardware and there was not much difference in prices; The man who advertised se­ cured the order. “In the copies of The News sent me,” said Mr.-Jones,' “I read Glenn H, Young A‘Co.’s ad­ vertisement.

Thismill does a large business exchanging their popular flour with farmers for wheat. Secured Duplicates. Hon.

THOMAS JONES, daughters and ofie son, Miss Jones, Winifred and Tom, Jr. The former are much given to music,—a taste in­ herited from their refined mother. It is understood that by the death of a distant relative, who gained a large fortune in Australia, tbe Joneses have come into a very tidy fortune and mean to get all the good out of it that money can secure. The Hon. Thomas Jones has bought an eligible site and let the contract for Hie building ot an elegant modern twelve room cottage to cost about •8,500. The walls and floor of the bath room will be covered with white tiles and the floor of the vestibule with mosaics. Winifred and Tom, Jr., in­ sisted that there should be a bicycle room, and the architect readily'envolved one that will be used in many of his future plans for modern homes. Canvass tbe Day.

Mrs. Jones also bought one of the well known Three C’s corsets for herself, a pair of gloves, some hose, and expressed herself well pleased with Sanford J. Truman's elegant line of new*, spring suite and dry goods novelties. Mrs. Jones Visits a Dentist. Mra. Jones sought Dr. V. J. Lath­ rop’s dental office. and. for a wonder found dentist at liberty. “Mrs. Jatne* Brown had au appointment with me from 11:30 to 12:30,’' said Dr. Lathrop, “but she sent a note this morning saying she was too illtohave * MISS JONES, roses, while Manager R.

Invitations to join the Anti-Gossip club, the card of the president of the village, and numerous circulars of tradesmen, comprised the pile. Mr. Jones was seen to shrug his shoulders. "The men who do not advertise in newspapers are, as usual, behind the times, my dear.” he remarked to Mrs. Jones. The circulars were removed with the soup plates. Tbe Jones Buy Bicycles. Tom, Jr., had thus far been rather in tbe back ground, bi t with a wisdom beyond his years, as the dessert was being eaten aud the tired .look faded from his father’s, face, ’broached the subject of bicycles. The family agreed to go directly to R. C. Townsend’s and inspect their wheels. They were shown beauties in drop and diamond frames. Torn, Jr., selected a World racer. Miss Jones chose for her mount a lady’s World, enameled in olive green nnd striped with old gold. Winifred chose an Admiral, because of its beautiful projxrrtions. which was en­ ameled in bhie. A combination wheel that the entire'family had learned to ride on, was turned in on the purchas­ es at a liberal figure. The World tan­ dem was shown Mr. Jones and un­ doubtedly later the young people will induce their father to buy.it Then the entire family can take a wheel trip on the excellent roads about Nash­ ville and viey the many delightful nooks and picturesque bite of scenery. Tom Jr.’s Shoes. Tom, Jr., had spent the forenoon with much satisfaction to himself and not without credit to his family. He first made sure of the new shoes sug­ gested by his father. Young Tom’s, tastes were for the Substantial as well ; as the ornamental. He selected a pair of the Rindge. Kulmbach, Logie A Co.’s shoes at $3.U0, such as he had heretofore paid $4.00 for and worn on Sundays only. • He bought them-of Frank McDerby. His attention was attracted* to a tine line of Stearns A Packard’s ladies’ shoes in McDerby’s new spring lines, which he promised to recommend to his mother and sisters. Inspects a Market. . Tom, Jr., critically inspected Smith & Brooks’ market from the outside. Everything to be s<>en indicated clean­ liness. Then he went inside. His in­ spection here was satisfactory, too. The plump yellow-legged chickens, tender looking steaks, well browned hams. etc., and the white-aproned, cleanly-appearing man in charge con­ vinced Tom, Jr., that the family could not go wrong in buying their meats, of Smith & Brooks. This firm sells the best of oysters, fish and game in their season* Chooses a Grocer. Tom, Jr., adopted a novel plan by which to choose a grocer. He went to E. B. Townsend A Co.’s, and waited to see if Tie would be served in his turn. The show of goods outside and inside the store was large and attrac­ tive, and included all kinds of staple and fancy groceries, foreign and do­ mestic fruite, etc. A number of people were ahead of him, and others entered after him. Much to Tom, Jr.'s, surprise and gratification, when his turn came he was courteously asked how he could be served. He found that E. B. Townsend & Co. sold the pure Chautauqua Mocha and Java blend coffees, such as his father liked, and the famous Red Dragon teas, which his mother always drank. He bought some oranges and went away convinced that a firm which recognized the rights of a boy would be equally conscientious in soiling goods. E. B. Townsend & Co. will furnish the Joneses with groceries. Next to Godliness. Tom, Jr., recommended the Nash­ ville Laundry, R. I. Hoikins, propritor, for their individual washings. Thev use nothing at this laundrv.that will’injure the fabric, and their work is delivered promptly on time. They make a specialty of fine work, includ­ ing lace curtains, ladies’ skirte, shirt waiste, and collars and cuffs, and their charges are moderate. The Nashville Laundry’s careful hand work saves patrons much wear in laundering. The Joneses Go East. The Hon. Thomas Jones and family left Nashville for Fulton county, N. Y.. on the Michigan Central at 6250 Tuesday evening. Their luggage had preceded them. The family will re­ turn in about two months, and some of Nashville’s bestpeoplehavealready decided to give receptions in their honor. Tbe progress made in the con­ struction of Mr. Jones’ handsome house will be watched with interest. , Remember U$ When you need anything in fclr line.

I believe that ia your name," waa the reply in a crushing tone; "but aa I waa about to say. I shall never marry a fanner. I was born for a higher sphere, one broader and more—morewell. more to my taste.” x' "Exactly!—(with mock humility)—and would it be presumption for a poor, mis­ erable clod of the valley like myself to aak what yon projiose to do?" "I hare my plans, air. but you -are not likely to sympathise with me in them, and words are only wasted." • "Very true. but. oh. Bah----- " "My name is Barbara, please." "Hang it all!” cried the young man. springing to his feet and grabbing his hat. "I may as well go now as later. It’s ail over. I know, but it's terribly bard to realise; terribly hard to forget all the jol­ ly old times we've had together when you was Bab and I was Thede. but it has been coming on, this ch’auge, ever since you came home from your visit. I thought it might wear off. but now since you've •aid it I—oh, Bab, little Bab. I've always loved you and never had a thought or plan Chat you wasn't In since I can remember; how can I give it all up?" And then the great, true-hearted fellow dropped back into his chair and buried his face in bis hands. Barbara, who had risen too, stood looking down at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She remembered that in other days she would have done the latter to have seen "Thede" in distress; but now-well, thing, were so very different now. and when she tried to imagine one of those well-dressed men, to whom her cousin had Introduced her. crying because a girl had refused him. she did laugh outright. Thede did not look up. but he beard, and as soon as he could control himself, he rose again, saying: “Pardon my weakness. Miss Barbara; I will not trouble you again. I am sure I wish you all success in whatever you undertake, and many happy returns of this Easter Day. Good night!" . “Good-night!" Barbara's voice sounded a little queer, even to herself, but she stood where he left her’until the door was shut and the sound of his familiar footsteps bud died away: then, with cheeks unusually red. khe went to her room. “He’ll be around all right to-morrow, but I had no idea I would get rid of him so easily to-night. What a silly he is, anyway, to suppose that I could ever be content with him and 'the dear old ftjlka,' aa he calls them, on a farm.” Much to her surprise, Theodore Vane did not return on the morrow, or any other day, though she saw him ride by a ■umber of times. It was annoying, espe­ cially after a letter came from her city friends telling her they had found her a position as "saleslady" in a store. She did so want to tell Thede (she called him that to herself), but though her little brother told him the hews, be came not. Barbara's parents, like all sensible country people, did not want her to go to the city. She had education enough to teach a district school—had taught the summer before»-and her help was needed In the family, but she was determined. She could not afford to thus let slip what ahe called "the opportunity of a life­ time;" and go she did just when spring was bursting into beauty. She just cried the least bit when she bade her mother good-by, but tears were not befitting a young woman going out to make her fortune and she was not a little ashamed of herself. During her five weeks' visit with her relatives in the city ■be had imbibed some Ideas, chief among them that living In the country was a dis­ grace, and that any show of tenderness or feeling was vulgar. Barbara's first letter home was full of news concerning her journey, her new po­ sition and the good time that each evening brought. Her aunt was going to move, however, and in order to be near her busi­ ness she must rent a room and board her­ self. The next letter told of a small apart­ ment in the third story of a lodging bouse. Its meager furnishing and bow dreadfully tired she was at night. “Bhe'll be cornin’ home soon." laughed her father, but the mother looked trou­ bled. After that the letters were usually writ­ ten in a hurry, sometimes sad and some­ times with ii forced gaiety. More than •ace her mother urged her to come home, but only once did she refer to the matter, then to say she would come at Christ­ mas. The weeks and months rolled round, and the old farm bouse was full of festal prep­ arations, for Barbara would arrive on the twenty-seventh. Three days before Christmas a postal card, hastily scrawled •n the counter, had announced as much, and that the holiday trade kept her in her place until nine and ten o’clock at nighL The morning of the twenty-seventh found the family early active, and by train time father was at the station, and everything in readiness at home. “They're cornin'!" shouted Ted. as he decried the white blaxe in Major’s face far down the rosd. “They are coming!" was echoed ail over the house and by the time Ted has dis­ covered that his father was alone, the mother and two sisters were at the door. Poor, bewildered father could only Hay over and over again: "I can't tell anything about it; ahe wa'n't there—that's all 1 know.” The day dragged wearily on, and still no word. All the good things were set away; probably she would come to-mor­ row. Again father went to the station,again he returned alone and still no word. The third morning was but a repetition of the others, and then mother said that somebody must go and see what the mat­ ter was. “You better go," father said, helplessly; and she went. "Oh, Bab; my darling child!” was what she said, an she stood on the threshold of the barren, third-story room, and looked at the flushed, unconsciouk face on the not over-clean pillow. "Don’t you know me, dear; don't you know your mother?" But the girl only babbled on of the spring in the orchard, the apple blossoms, the birds' nest in the cherry tree. Old Matta's kittens in the hay mow, and Thede. “She came home from the store looking pale and tired," her landlady said: “I happened to meet her in the outer hall. She always speaks pleasantly and pays promptly for everything she gets, so I've learned to like her, and noticed particu­ larly how bad she looked. 'I’m going home to-morrow, Mrs. Case.' she said, ‘and won't be back till after New Years;' so when she wasn’t about next day. I supposed she'd gone. It was just getting dark when Mr. Done—a bachelor next door to her—came and asked me what was the matter with Miss Burns; said some­ body had been moanin' and takin' on in her room all day. (He writes stories or something: anyway, he's awful poor and alien1 in his room.) “I went right up and found the poor child ravin' in fever as you see. I sent for my own doctor, and he’s doing his best. I didn't know where you lived, but 'lowed ty hunt through her papers to­ morrow, if nobody come, to see if I could find out.

In the weary weeks following, spent by Mrs. Burns In that cheerless apartment, while life and death fought for suprem­ acy over the frail Bab. the former learned from her wanderings how bitterly she had repented her choice, and how terribly homesick she had lx*en. She learned, too. bow the young girl had repented her of scorning the honest love of an honest man. It was Easter Sabbath again, and even­ ing. when, for the first time since one year before. Thrift and Bab were alone; he so strong and manly, she so white and fragile. “Now that the other railroad is com­ ing," he was saying, as his dark eyes rest­ ed anxiously on her face, "father and ^w"Xh" *"““■* ■" W“« ““ �CHAPTER L r* Tbe gentlemen of the jury retired to eoosider their verdict. The foreman took his place at the head of the table. Hia colkagnr* seated themeelves on either aide, of him. Then, there fell upon, that assembly of men a silence, never known among an assembly of women—tbe silence which proceeds from a general reluctance to be the person who speaks first. “Gentlemen," be began, "have you formed any decided opinion on tbe case— thus far?. The prisoner waiting our ver­ dict is the Honorable Roderick Wester­ field. younger , brother of tbe present Lord Le Bafque. He is charged with fully cast­ ing away the British bark John Jerminan for the purpose of fraudulently obtaining a share of the insurance money; and fur­ ther; of possessing himself of certaltTBraailian diamonds, which formed part of tbe cargo. In plain words, here is a gentle­ man born in the higher ranks of life ac­ cused of being a thief. He farther ap­ pears to have outraged the feelings of his family by marrying a barmaid at a public house. From that moment his parents turned their backs on him, with the one merciful exception of the head of the fam­ ily. Lord Le Basque exerted bls influence with the Admiralty and obtained for his brother an appointment to a ship. All tbe witnesses agree that Mr. Westerfield, thoroughly understood his profession. If he could hare controlled himself, he might have risen to very high rack in the navy. He quarreled with one of his superior officers----- ” “Under strong provocation," said a member of the jury. “Under strong provocation," the fore­ man admitted. "The prisoner challenged the officer on duty to fight a duel, and. re­ ceiving a contemptuous refusal, struck him on the quarterdeck. As a matter of course, Mr. Westerfield was tried by court martial and was dismissed from the service. At my lord’s earnest request the owners of the John Jerminan, trading be­ tween Liverpool and Rio, took Mr. West­ erfield on trial as first mate. In a tempest off the coast of Africa the captain was washed overboard, and the first mate,suc­ ceeded to the command. His seamanship and courage saved the vessel, under cir­ cumstances of danger which paralysed the efforts of the other officers. He was con­ firmed in the command of the ship." There the foreman paused to collect his ideas. “After a certain term of service, gentle­ men." he finally resumed, “the prisoner’s merits appear to have received their re­ ward. He was presented with a share in the ship. With improved prospect* he sailed from Liverpool on his last voyage to Bradl; and no one. his wife included, bad the faintest suspicion that he left England under circumstances of serious pecuniary embarrassment, the result of betting on horse racing. When he left Rio on tbe-homeward voyage, there is no sort of doubt that he was returning to England to face creditors whom he was unable to pay.” “In plain English," said a juryman, “you are for finding the prisoner guilty." "In plain English," the foreman rejoin­ ed, "I refuse to answer that question." "Why?" “Because it is no part of my duty to at­ tempt to influence the verdict." “You have been trying to influence the verdict, sir, ever since you entered this room. I appeal to all the gentlemen pres­ ent." The patience of the long-suffering fore­ man failed him at last. "Not another word shall pass my lips," he said, "until you find the prisoner guilty or not guilty among yourselves—and then I’ll tell you if I agree to your verdict." He folded his anus and looked like the image of a man who intended to keep his word. In the meantime nothing was said or done. Helpless silence prevailed in every part of the room. “Why doesn't somebody begin?” cried in impatient juryman. "Have you all forgotten the evidence?” This startling question roused the jury to a sense of what was due to their oaths, If not to themselvea. Some of them recol­ lected the evidence in one way and some of them recollected it in another. The first man who spoke began at the middle of the story told by the witnesses in court. “I am for acquitting the captain, gentle­ men; he ordered out the boats and saved the lives of the crew." "And I am for finding him guilty, tiecause tbe ship struck a rock in broad daylight, and in-moderate weather.” "I agree with you, sir. The evidence shows that the vessel was steer­ ed dangerously near to the land, by direc­ tion of the captain who gave the course.” “Come, come, gentlemen! let ua do the captain justice. The defense declares that he gave the customary course, and that it was not followed when he left tbe deck. As for his leaving the ship in moderate weather, the evidence proves that he be­ lieved be saw signs of a storm brewing." “Yes, yes, all very well; but what were the tacts? When the loss of the ship was reported, the Brazilian authorities sent me to the wreck, on the chance of saving the cargo; and. days afterward, there the •hip was found, just as tbe captain and crew bad left her.” “Don’t forget, sir, that the diamonds were missing when the •alvors examined- the wreck." "All right, but that’s no proof that tbe captain stole tbe diamonds; and. before they had saved half tbe cargo, a storm did come on, and break the vessel up, so the poor man was only wrong in the matter of time after all/' "Allow me to remind you, gentle­ men, that the prisoner was deeply in debt, and, therefore, had an interest in stealing the diamonds.” “Wait a little, sir. Fair play’s a jewel. Who was in charge of the deck when the ship struck? The sec­ ond mate. And what did the second mate do. when he beard that his owners had de­ cided to prosecute? He committed sui­ cide! Is there no proof of guilt in that act?” "You are going a little too fast, air. Tbe coroner’s jury declared that the second mate killed himself In a state of temporary insanity." “Suppose we try a show of hands?” was suggested. "Gentlemen who find the pris­ oner guilty will please hold up their Votes were nt once registered, including the vote of tbe foreman. .One incompre­ hensible man abstained from expressing his sentiments even by a sign.' He sat im­ movable, with closed eyes. Tbe quick­ witted foreman bad long since suspected him of being simply the stupidest person present—with just cunning enough to con­ ceal his own dullness by holding his tongue. After a'heated conference among tbem.*w)ves they decided on securing unan­ imity of opinion by submitting to the ar­ bitration of this one independent member present. "Which way does your view of the verdict incline, sir? Guilty Or not guilty?" The eyes of the silent juryman opened with the slow and solemn dilation of the eyes of an owl. "Guilty," he answered, and shut his eyes again. * An unutterable sense of relief pervaded the meeting. Enmities were forgotten; and friendly looks were exchanged. With’ one accord, the jury rose to return to court. The prisoner's fate was sealed. The-jrerdict was guilty. The low hum of talk among the persons in court ceased when the jury-returned to their places. Cariosity now found its center ot attraction in the prisoner's wife —who had been present throughout tbe trial. . Mrs. Westerfield was a showy woman. Her commanding figure was finely robed in dark colors; her profuse light hair hung over her forehead in little clusters of ring­ lets; her features, firmly but not delicately shaped, were on a large scale. No out­ ward betrayal of the wife’s emotion re­ warded the public curiosity; her bold light gray eyeSjSuaUined the general gate with­ out flinching. To tbe surprise of the women present, she had brought her two young children with her to the trial. The eldest was a pretty little girl of ten years old; the second child, a boy, sat on bis mother’s knee. It was generally observed that Mrs. Westerfield took no notice of her eldest child. Tbe judge took bis seat, and the order was given to bring the prisoner up for judgment. The surgeon of the prison en­ tered the witness box, and, being duly sworn, nysde his medical statement. The prisoner’s heart had been diseased for some time past, and the malady had been neglected. Hr had fainted under the prolonged suspense of waiting for the ver­ dict. The swoon bad proved to be of such n serious nature that the witness refused to answer for consequences if a second fainting fit was produced by tbe excite­ ment of facing the court and the jury. Under these circumstances the verdict was formally recorded. Once more the spectators looked at the prisoner's wife. She had risen to leave the court. It was observed, when she retired, that she held her boy by tbe band, and left the girl to follow. A compassionate lady near her offered to take care of the children while she was absent. Mrs. Westerfield answer­ ed quietly and coldly: "Thank you—their father wishes to see them." The prisoner was dying; nobody could look at him and doubt it. His eyes opened wearily when his wife and children ap­ proached the bed on which be lay helpless —the wreck of a grandly made man. The girl stood nearest to him; he looked at her with a faint smile. The poor child understood him. Crying piteously, she put her arms round his neck and kissed him. "Dear papa," she said, "come home and let me nurse you." The surgeon, watching the father’s face, saw a change in him which the other per­ sons present had not observed. As bis wife brought the child to him, the surgeon whispered to her. "If you have anything to say to him, be quick about it!" She shuddered; she took his cold hand. Her touch seemed to nerve him with new strength; he asked her to stoop over him. "They won't let me write here," he whia-' pered, “unless they see my letter. Lift up my left arm. Open the wristband." She detached the stud which closed the wristband of the shirt. On the inner side of the linen waa a line written in red let­ ters—red of the color of blood. She saw these words: "Look in the lining of my trunk." "What for?" she asked. The fading light in his eyes flashed on her a dreadful look of doubt. His lips fell apart in the vain effort to answer. Hia last sigh fluttered the light ringlets ot her hair as she bent over him, The surgeon pointed to her^cidldren. "Take the poor things home.” he said; “they have seen the last of their father." Mrs. Westerfield obeyed in silence. She had her own reasons tor being in a hurry to get home. Leaving the children under the servant’s care she locked herself up in the dead man's room, and emptied his trunk of the few clothes that had been left in it. The lining which she was now to exam­ ine was of the customary material, and of the usual striped pattern in blue and white. Her fingers were not sufficiently sensitive to feel anything under the sur­ face, when she tried it with her hand. Turning the empty trunk with the inner side of the lid toward the light, ahe dis­ covered on one of the blue stripes of the lining a thin little shining' stain which looked like a stain of dried gum. After a moment’s consideration, she cut the gam­ med line with a penknife. Something of a white color appeared through the aper­ ture. She drew out a folded sheet of paper. It proved to be a letter in her husband's handwriting. An inclosure dropped to the floor when she opened" it, in the shape of a small slip of paper. She picked it up. The morsel of paper presented letters, fig­ ures and crosses arranged in lines, and mingled together in what looked like hope­ less confusion. CHAPTER H. Mrs. Westerfield laid the incomprehen­ sible slip of paper aside, and, in search of an explanation, returned to the letter. Here again she found herself In a state of perplexity. Directed to “Mrs. Roderick Westerfield," the letter began abruptly, without the customary form of address. Did it mean that her husband was angry with her when he wrote? It meant that he doubted her. In these terms he expressed himself: 1 write to you before my trial takw place. If tbe verdict goes in my favor. I shall destroy wbat I iiave written. If I sin found jroilty, I must leave it for you to do what I should otherwise hare done for myself- . “The undeserved misfortune that has overtaken me began with the arrival of my ship in the port of Rio. Our second mate asked leave to go’on shore—and nevef returned. What motive determined him on deserting I am not able to say. It waa my own wish to supply his place by promoting the best seaman on board. My owners’ agents overruled me, and appoint­ ed a man of their own choosing. , “Wbat nation he’d belonged to I don’t know. Th^name be gave was Beljames. and he was reported to be a broken-down gentleman. Whoever he might be, his manner and his talk were captivating. Everybody liked him. “After the two calamities of the loss of the ship and the disappearance of the dia­ monds— these last being valued at five thousand pounds—I returned to England by the- first opportunity that offered, hav­ ing Beljames for a companion. "Shortly after getting back to my house in London. I was privately warned by a good friend thgt my owners had decided to prosecute me for willfully casting away the ship, and for having stolen the missing, diamonds. The second mate, who had been in command of the vessel when she struck on the rock, was similarly charged along with me. Knowing myself to be In­ nocent. I determined, of course, to stand my trial. My wonder was, what Bel­ james would do. We bad separated in Cornwall, and had not met since. "On the voyage home Beljames to>d me that a legacy had been left to him; beinga small freehold house and garden in St. John’s Wood, London. While my mind was running on this recollection I was told that a decent elderly woman wanted to see me. She pfoved to be the landlady of the house'in which Beljames lodged; and she brought an alarming message. The man was dying, and desired to- see me. I went to him immediately. - •• • Beljames had heard of the Intended prosecution. How he had been made aware of it death left him no time to tell me. The miserable wretch had poisoned himself—whether in terror of standing his trial or in remorse of conscience, it is not auy business of mine to decide. .Most un­ luckily for me, he first ordered the doc­ tor and the landlady out of the room— and then, when we two were alone, owned that he had purposely altered the course of the ship, and had stolen the diamonds. "Having eased his mind by confession, he gave me the slip of paper which you will find inclosed in this. There is my note of the place where the diamonds are hidden,'.he said. Among the many ignor­ ant people who know nothing of ciphers, I am one. and I told him so. That's how I keep my secret,' he said; ‘write from my dictation, and you shall know what it means. Lift me up first.' As I did it he rolled his head to and fro, evidently In pain. But he managed to point to pen. ink and paper on a table hard by, cn which his doctor had been writing;. I left him for a moment to pull the table nearer to the bed, and in that moment he groan­ ed and cried out for help. I ran to the room downstairs where tbe .doctor was waiting. When we got back to him he waa in convulsions. It was all over with Beljames. “The lawyers who are to defend me have tried to get experts, as they call them, to interpret the cipher. Tbe ex­ perts have all failed. They will declare, if they are called as witnesses, that the signs on the paper are not according to any known rule, and are marks mode at random meaning nothing. "As for any statement on my part of the confession made to me, the law refuses to hear it except from the mouth of a wit­ ness. 1 might prove that the ship's course was changed, contrary to my directions, after I had gone below to rest, if I could find the man who was steering at the time. Heaven knows where that man is. "On tbe other hand, the errors of my past life, and my being in debt, are cir­ cumstances dead against me. The law­ yers seem to trust almost entirely in a famous counsel, whom they have engaged to defend me. For my own part, I go to my trial with little or no hope. "If you are now my widow, and if you may have any love left for my memory, never rest until you have found somebody who can Interpret these curious signs. Do for me. I say. what I cannot do for my­ self. Recover the diamonds; and, when you restore them, show my owners this letter. "Kiss the children for me. I wish them, when they are old enough, to read this defense of myself and to know that their father, who loved them dearly, died an innocent man. My good brother will take care of you, for my sake. I have dune." Mrs. Westerfield took up the cipher once more. She looked at it as if it was a living thing that defied her. "If I am ever able to read this gibberish.” she decided. “I know what I'll do with the diamonds!” “Yon w-rwr wett,” be said, admlrmg bar. “Have you come ben- to be my barmaid again T’ .- “Do yon think I am reduced to that?" ahe answered. . “Well, my dear, more unlikely things have happened. They tell joe you depend for your Income on Lord Le Basque—and his lordship's death was in the newspapers last week.” “And bis lordship's lawyers continue my allowance." ’ Having smartly set tbe landlord right in those words, she bad not thought it necessary to add that Lady Le Basque, continuing the allowance at her husband's request, had also notified that it would cease if Mrs- Westerfield married again. "You're n lucky woman," the landlord remarked. “Well, I’m glad io see yon. What will you take to drink?" “Nothing, thank you. I want to know If you have heard anything lately of James Bellbridge." The landlord was a popular person in his own circle; not accustomed to restrain himself when bo sow bis way to a joke. “Here’s constancy?’ be said, "She’s sweet on James after having jilted him twelve years ago!" Mrs. Westerfield rose with dignity. T am accustomed .to be treated respectful­ ly." she replied. “I wish you good-morn­ ing." Tbe easy landlord pressed her back into her chair. "Don't be a fool," he said. "James is in London; James ia staying in my bouse.” Mrs. Westerfield's bold gray eyes ex­ pressed eager curiosity and interest. "You don’t mean that he la going to be bar­ man here again?” “No such luck, my dear; he is a gentle­ man at large, who patronizes my house." Mrs. Westerfield went on with her ques­ tions. "Has he left America for good?" "Not he!' James Bellbridge is going back to New York, to open a saloon. He's’ In England, he says, on business. It's my belief that be wonts money for thia new venture, on bad security. His only chance of getting his bills discounted la to bumbug bls relations down in the coun­ try." "When does he come back?" "He comes back to-morrow.” "Will you give a message to James?" “1’11 do anything for a lady of fortune.” “Tell him to come and drink tea with hia old sweetheart to-morrow at six o’clock.” “He won’t do it." "He will. With that difference of opinion they parted. (To be continued.) The Greatest Success of the Age Sold in Nashville only by E, Liebhauser, druggist Not aa Htapid aa He Seemed. It was an old tuan In Sweden—bo runs the tale as told in Short Stories— who gave to a stranger an answer that was wiser than It appeared. The stran­ ger, one of a prospecting party search­ ing for gold, had wandered away from the rest, to find himself at last with a fair piece of quartz as a reward for bls pains, In a region he knew nothing of, with no guide, and night coming on. “Friend," he asked of an old man smoking in his doorway, "how long will it take me to walk to the next town?” The old man eyed the speaker quizzi­ cally. * "Walk on," । be said, with a wave of his hand in tbe right direction. "Yes. I know which road; but how long will it take me to walk there?" asked the stranger again.* "Walk on." repeated the smoker, stolidly. "But can’t you tell me how long it will take me to reach foe town?" per­ sisted the other, impatiently. "Walk on.” a third time directed the old man. and tbe stranger did walk on. Inwardly anathematizing the stupidity of the smoker. "Young man." called the oesident, when the strarger had gone a few yards. He turned Impatiently. “I just wanted to tell you, that if you keep up that gait you’ll get there In half an hour.” ■ "Why couldn’t you say so befoie?" demanded the stranger, hotly. The old man removed the pipe from his mouth, blew a volume of smoke skyward, and answered, coolly: "How did I know how fast you could walk ?” Treating Himself. The Parisian critic, M. Jules Claretle, narrates In the Athenaeum an amusing story of the elder Dumas: At the height of the great novelist’s vogue he could not turn out books fast enough to satisfy his clamoring pub­ lishers, an 1 it became necessary for him to employ collaborators, to whom he sketched the plot, perhaps, leaving them to do the rest Among the most distinguished was M. Paul Meurice, who Is still living and writing in Paris at an advanced age. Thus it came about that Monsieur Meurice was the author of one of thf most amusing novels of Dumas, "Lea Deux Dianes.” Dumas when travel­ ing found this novel In a hotel and opened It to pass away the time. He began reading it seriously, got interest­ ed in It and was amused. Presently some one came to his room and found him with “Les Deux Dianes" In his hand. "What are you doing there, dear mas­ ter 7” “I am reading,” said Durnau, "a novel of my own which I did, not know, and which pleases me vastly!" It was Dumas who said when left to himself, “I am never bored when I have my own company." It is easy to see that he was not more so when he had that of others—and did not know It CHAPTER III.

I’ve done with you!” she said, and kicked her rusty mourning out of the way as she advanced to tbe fire­ place to ring the bell. “Where Is my little boy?” she asked, when the landlady entered the room. "He's down with me in the kitchen, ma'am; I'm teaching him to make a plum cake for himself." "I want you to take care of him while I am away. By tbe bye, where's 8yd?” The eldest child had been christened Sydney, in compliment to one of her fath­ er’s remale relatives. With a look at Mrs. Westerfield which expressed ill-con­ cealed aversion, the landlady answered: "She's up in the lumber room, poor child. Couldn't Be Positive. She says you sent her there to be out of Boggy (Indignantly) —So your father the way." said I tiidn’t know enough to go in “Ah, to be sure, so I did."

The story is that Captain T. L. Huston of the volunteer engineers, who entered the service from Cincinnati and who had been assigned to the duty of cleaning out the fortifications of Havana, discovered in the gunroom of the Cuartel de Foerate a wooden box or hut, in which he found, a gutta percha tube containing one large copper wire and several smaller wire*. He also found evidences of a key­ board having been torn away. Captain Huston confided his discovery to Warren J. Lynch, general passenger agent of the Big Four, who was visiting Havana, and said he was about to trace the wires to prove his theory that the Maine was ex­ ploded from that point The wreck of the vessel can be seen from this gunroom not more than a hundred yards distant. The room itself was in a part of the prison to which access was only allowed to a few officers. " » • The Standard Oil Company will have to pay *4,000 to a Louisville woman for a mere dog bite.

All tbe volunteer* in the Philippines are armed witb the Springfield rifle. All the regulars now there and the re-enforce­ ments now en route have the Krag-Jorgensejis. The volunteers use the Spring­ fields because the military commanders consider it tbe more effective rille Iu their hands. They are using smokeless powder and the effective range of the Springfield is almost as great as tbe Mauser, which is being used by sharpshooters among the rebels. The complex mechanism of the modern rifle is difficult to care for and to use, while the Springfield will stand any amount of rough handling. This reason, more than any other, influenced the ex­ perienced army officers to recommend their use by the volunteers.

DAMAGE TO WHEAT. MICHIGAN SOLONS. WIDENED AREA FROM WHICH COMPLAINT IS MADE. There Is, However, Little Fear of Crop Fallnr«-The Beason la Backward, bat April Weather May Change Many Adverse Opinions. Weather conditions during the week have not been such as to materially change the winter wheat situation, al­ though alternate freezing and thawing has probably tended to reduce the vitality of the plant in districts where it was al­ ready weak. At the same time the close of the week finds a deeper conviction upon the crop. In southern Kansas, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Kentucky the area from which complaint is received has material­ ly widened and the character of complaint Is more pronounced. . Over that part ot the wheat belt lying north of tbe latitude of Cincinnati there is still no opportunity for definite judg­ ment of actual present conditions, tbe ground remaining frozen to a great depth and over the greater part of the district even the surface continuing frozen. There is practically no spring growth north of the Ohio river, though fields In Ohio and portions of Indiana are loginning to show up green. Until we shall have had at least a week of good and continuous growing weather'it will not be passible to determine with any degree of satisfaction the extent to which the crap is injured. South of the Ohio river, however, the situation is beginning to clear up. It does not yet appear that the damage in Texas, Tennessee and Kentucky is sen­ sational, but it is evident that it is wide: spread.

With forty-one members on leave of ab­ sence, it took until nearly 5 o’clock, and there waa little to do. except on the general order. In committee of the whole the House passed Senator Ward’s Mil amend­ ing Ahe charter of the dty of Ann Arbor providing that ail claims for damage against the city must be filed within six months. Representative Chamberlain's anti-polygamy bill went through as though greased and a bill keeping the election polls open In Wayne County until 8 o'clock was -also favored. Dudley's taxation measure requiring the asses^rs to procure from all taxpayers a sworn statement of all property owned by them was amended. Tbe bill required an itemized statement of ail property whether in the assessing dis­ trict or not, and this was stricken ouL Tbe bill introduced by Representative Cham­ berlain for the repeal of the Graham-For­ syth text book act ot Inst Sewion waa passed without comment. Among the bills passed was one of Representative Fleischhauer's making it an offense to jump od or off a railroad train while In motion. The present statute only refers to jumping on a train, which gives tramps a big loop­ hole. In the House on Tuesday Representa­ tive Dudley’s taxation bill was sent back to the Judiciary Committee for amendxneut. There was some objection to Sen­ ator Graham’s bill providing for the in­ spection of iUuminating oils which are the products of petroleum or coal oil. but they were explained away sufficiently to let the ’ bill through, us it was claimed that the present law will be declared unconstitu­ tional in a few days and the oil inspec­ tors would then be without authority. Among the bills passed w.;s that of Rep­ resentative McLeod, making it compul­ sory to keep the election polls in Wayne County open until 8 o’clock in the evep-% Ing. instead of 5 o’clock, as at present, and Representative Alword's doing away with the publishing ot joint documents. Provision is made for the publishing of the reports of State institutions, nnd it is claimed that the new biH will affect a saving of about $21,000 u year. The bill tnaMng it a misdemeanor to wear a G. A. R. or Loyal Legion badge went back to the committee of the whole.

At­ torney General Oren, in an opinion filed Wednesday night, sustains Gov.

The Governor Is certain to reappoint Robert Oakman of Detroit, one of the per­ sons whom the Seuntc rejected, but will make a new selection in place of E.'M. Irish of Kalamazoo, who refuses to accept a reapjMilntment. Both houses have now passed the bill authorizing Detroit to acquire and oper­ ate street railways. It provides for the purchase by the city of the present street railway system at a valuation to be fixed, by a commission appointed by the Com­ mon Council. XU? Senate on Thursday conurmedMQo D. Campbell of Coldwater as commissioner of insurance and Wirt P. Doty of Detroit as a member of the State Board ot Pharmacy.

But the Importance of Illustration, ac a most valuable and indispensable part of advertising, has only come to be thoroughly recognized and ac­ knowledged in the past twenty years. Onq of the greatest reasons why the use Of pictures has been slow of growth, is because the Improvement in methods and consequent reduction of cost have been of very recent dates. Comparatively speaking, it is only yesterday since the expense of an en-x graving, which attracts no great at­ tention in a common magazine adver­ tisement of today, would have been prohibited even in %n article costing a large sum to prepare, while the crud­ ity and paucity of reaourcewould have made them anything but “things of beauty.” But all tilts is changed. From the crude, yet intelligent and lasting pic­ tures of the old Egyptians to the hand­ some and unique works of art, both in photography and drawing, seen In every magazine advertisement of any pretensions today, is but a step—a step which has required thousands - of years to accomplish. But tills is not so singular as is tiie fact that, this important resultfully accomplished, little expense and easy of attainmenLby any advertiser, there an!so few, outside of the magazines.' ready to take advantage of the unlim­ ited opportunities thus offered to in­ crease the value ahd results of ‘adver­ tising. * I have neither, space nor inclination to enlarge upon this theme. The thing is sb palpable that any merchant can, if he will, see and grasp his op­ portunities in this direction. The grocery and shoe business appear to me to be a long ways apart in the mercantile s world, but it seems some merchants can conduct and ad­ vertise both of these lines successfully. This subject has been called to my at­ tention by reading the advertisement of Franli McDerby in this week’s News. I saw the line “grocery and shoe man,” at the bottom of the advt., and 1 said to myself here is one of those. Protean advertisers, who mix up molasses and cork insoles in their advts., and make a sticky, un­ attractive mess of both. But. Io and behold. Relle was agreeably disapKiinted. 1 read the advt. oven, carelly and there wasn’t a word about sugar, co'ffee or chewing-gum: ju»t a ptein, common-sense, convincing talk about shoes and nothing elite. And, moreover, it is a talk about shoes that will convince people that Mr. McDerby knows his line and has faith in it— a talk that will sell shoes. He makes broad and strong assertions, bin ac­ knowledges the corn,and stands ready to prove them. That’s what I like about the advertisement—a text is selected and nothing is preached out­ side of what the text calls for. I haven’t seen one of Mr.McDerby’s grocery advertisements recently, but if they are as good as this one t about shoes, und us exclusively talks about groceries, there is no reason whatever why the harmony and profit of wedded shoes und sugar should not continue.

For Drake’a Dyepcpsla Cun and Nerve Restorer. “For the sake of any person that may be afflicted with Dyspepsia in any/ of its many forms, I take great pleas­ ure in stating my past and present con­ dition. Ana if there Is a soul on earth that has suffered as I have, they are certainly deserving of much pity. Nearly two vears ago I began to be troubled with Indigestion. Soon my bowels began bothering me. Occasion­ ally I would have severe Headache and Dizzy spells. My appetite grad­ ually left me so that nothing seemed to relish. Doctors said I had infiammation of the iqucous membrane of the Stomach. My condition was such that it affected my Heart, and frequently I would fall helpless to the »und. About a year ago I was ob! to quit work of any kind and street, or stoop over on account of my heart trouble and dizziness. I bought various prepartions recommended for my troubles, but continued to grow worse. Four weeks ago I heard what Drake's Dyspepsia Cure and Nerve Restorer was doing for cases similar to my own; I immediately procured a package from John J. Orr of Tecum­ seh; after using it three weeks 1 began doing some work, and last week, R the treatment. I built fence nearly every «! day. Wordscan not express my grat­ itude for what this treatment has done J for me, and I wish every sufferer in the world knew of Its wonderful cura­ tive power. Yours very truly, 2,1 C. M.

' ■ * - Tbe Ontario Government has taken ac­ tion to annul its agreement with the Caasdian Niagara Falls Power Company, granted in 1892, which gave the company a monopoly of the Niagara falls power on the Canadian side for fifty years, the com­ pany to pay $25,000 for the improvements and to make certain improvements .before November, 1899. The company is prac­ tically the same as that which controls a similar privilege on the American side of the river. The agreement of 1892 is to be annulled on the ground that the im­ proveiuents agreed on have not been made and that there is now no possibility of making them before November. Another wealthy New York syndicate is preparing to develop the power on the Canadian aide. RAILROAD MEN ON STRIKE. Eaatern Corporation Bays It la Not All the employes of the Western New York and Pennsylvania Company’s shops at Oil City, Pa.,‘ struck for a restoration of 10 per cent cut in their wages made two years ago. They were joined by the men at Buffalo and Olean, N. Y. Unless the matter is satisfactorily adjusted soon all divisions of the.road will be tied up. The officials of the road stated to representa­ tives of the men that they were not shar­ ing in the general prosperity, and could aot afford to grant the men’s demands. The cartings of the company in 1898 were 1 per cent per mile less than in 1897. Their freight traffic is their principal source of revehue, and consists only of hauling coal and iron, and competition is very sharp. TRADE IS NOT EO BRISK. tinue of n Flattering Character. In reviewing the commercial situation Bradstreet’s says: ‘‘There is a’ quieter tone in several lines of business this week independent of the reduction in volume of distributive demand, resulting from con­ tinued unfavorable weather conditions in a large section of the country. The strength of quotable values, however, fails to show that any material slackening of underlying movements has as yet be­ come apparent in leading lines.

LARGE SALK OF SHEEP LANDS. Breeders Purchase Tracts from the Union Pacific Railroad. The land department of the Union Pa­ cific Railroad has completed one of the largest ’deals .of recent years, by which It sells 28,000 acres of land east of Fort Steele, Wyo., to Cosgrove Brothers, sheep­ men. ’ The purchasers of this land also leased from the railroad company 81,960 acres,of land in the same vicinity. F. C. Miller, also a sheepmap, has purchased 5,000 acres north of Fort Steele and leas­ ed 20,000 acres in the same vicinity. Ne­ gotiations are also pending with a number of other large sheep raisers for the sale of other large tracts in that part of Wy­ oming. If the spies are completed it will result in practically turning that section of the State over to the sheepmen. BANKER SENTENCED TO PRISON.

Tbe two men, who murdered Attorney Westenhaver and later killed Clarence Witteonwyer, one of their par­ suers, held the great crowd of would-be lynchers at bay until they were ready U> surrender. During all tbe time from the commission of th* firpt crime Saturday af­ ternoon .until after 6 o’clock Sunday morn­ ing the two, aided by tbe women of their household, defied the desperate throng which besieged their home. They plainly Stated that they would not submit to lynching and every assault on tbe buuae was answered with such well-aimed bul­ lets that the lynching party, feared to carry out its plans. Each move on the' part of the assailants was the signal for a shot, showing that the women were doing their share in the work ol defense. Only when they were assured a military guard and all possible protection did the murder­ ers agree to submit to arrest.. E. H. Westenhaver bad been attorney for the Zeltner brothers in numerous cases, and bad sued them for his fees. Tbe jury aud witnesses bad-been sworn before Justice E. Burgoon at Hoyt’s Comers, in Westenhaver’e suit, when Paul Zeltner demanded some papers of Westenhaver, and attempted to take them from his pock­ et. John Zeltner then joined in demand­ ing the papers, and immediately fired the fatal shot that killed Westenhaver. The Zeltners had their homes ready for mount­ ing and escape, and it is thought that they had arranged to get Westenhayen into a fight, although they did not give the victim time to make any demonstra­ tions toward them. The Zeltners kept up their firing till they mounted their . horses, and continued it as hundreds of citizens pursued them to their residence. Then the citizens laid aiege to the Zelt­ ner house. The lynchers kept up a contin­ ual firing and it is'declared that the wom­ en also engaged in the defense. John Zelt­ ner is married and has four children, and his fanBly was in the house with him. The battle was waged furiously, the besiegers. Including the sheriff’s posse, finding it nec­ essary to keep under cover of the trees to avoid being bit. Clarence Wittenmeyer was shot down while attempting with a posse of twenty-five or thirty to capture the bouse by a determined charge. This increased the excitement, and the mob, now swelled to 1,000 in number, seemed bent upon lynching the Zeltners. To pre­ vent this the sheriff telegraphed to North Baltimore for tbe militia and the Bloom­ field rifles and the North Baltimore cadets hurried to the scene. All night long the siege was kept up. When Wittenmeyer fell volley after volley was poured into the crowd from the upper story of tha Zeltner house. During tbe fight a cannon and a quantity of nitroglycerin had been secured, so that there would have been trouble after sunrise if the troops bau not arrived. Peaceable methods finally prevailed in tbe capture, although it is doubtful if the capture would have been effected except ,for the fact that the Zeltners were nearly out of ammunition and they knew surren­ der was the only method of saving them­ selves. The Zeltners agreed to surrender to ex-8heriff Biggs if guaranteed protec­ tion from tbe fury of the mob. The two military companies were drawn up in lines and the men handcuffed and taken from the house, after which the women locked all the doofs and pulled down all the blinds. Under escort of the militia, the men were marched through the mud and snow to Custar station, where they took a train for Tontogany, there changing again and landing in Bowling Green short­ ly after noon. At that point at least 1,500 persons had congregated, but the Zeltners were hurried to jail without any further trouble. WEALTH OF THE UNITED STATES pected to Show. The statistical table of the> wealth of nations Is a familiar one among treasury officials of various countries.

The real estate of this coun­ try was then valued at $39,000,000,000, the live stock at $2,000,000,000, the rail­ roads at $8,000,000,000. manufactories and thiflr contents at $8,000,000,000, mines and quarries $1,009,000,000, and gold and silver coin at $1,200,000,000. tained, the total accumulated wealth of the United States will represent, by tha census of 1900, not far from $liannA. 000,000, or more than Great Britain.

Abraham Goodfellow, a -druggist and undertaker there,’ went' to prepare the body for burial, when he found a chloroform bottle outside with his label on, and he remembered selling the bottle, together with a bottle of alcohol, the-night before to William Spears, who has been working in the vicinity for-several months. The same night that Spears purchased the chloroform and alcohol he hired a livery rig. The rig wns seen tied In front of the old man’s house at a late hour that night by parties* who knew the horse.

MICHIGAN SOLONS. MALOLOS IS CAPTURED. Insurgent Capital Taken by American Troops —Aguinaldo Escapes. Malolos. the Filipino capital, was cap­ tured and destroyed Friday, but Aguineldo managed to elude the Americans and escaped in safety. After three hours of desperate fighting the natives, realiz­ ing that further effort was hopeless, set fire to the city and fled in disorder. A large portion of Aguinnldo's army man­ aged to break through the lines and the men Mattered in every direction, leaving guns and swords behind. The American loss was comparatively small, considering the severe nature of the combat. Rapid­ fire guns had been trained upon the city and spread consternation, among the na­ tive troops. MacArthur began the attack at 7 o'clock in tbe morning, having the city practically surrounded by his forces. Line after line of intrenebments was stormed, the de­ fenders falling back into the town. At last the natives found that they could do no more, so they applied the torch to buildings in every direction and began tbe retreat. Aguinuldo and bis cabinet sought safety in flight, escaping capture. Filipinos tak­ en by the Americans say that the native leader left Malolos Wednesday, and, with his chief supporters, beaded for the north. Although, by this move Aguinaldo may claim that he saved his capital from falling into the bands of tbe United States forces, it is doubtful if be can retain his influence over the native forces. Many Filipino officers consider tbe flight an un­ called-for retreat in the face of the oppo­ sition. and they declare that tbe chief Throughout tbe whole advance upot Malolos the American troops behavec splendidly. They advanced steadilj against successive lines of trenches, through woods and jungles, and suffering from frightful heat. In addition, tb< American volunteers were handicapped ir fighting by the fact that their Springfield rifles are of shorter range than the Mau­ ser rifles in the hands of the rebels. Undet those circumstances the steady advance of our troops is a really remarkably achievement. But the most noteworthy feature of this onward sweep of the Amer­ icans has been the patience and endur­ ance of the private soldiers. They have never hesitated to plunge across any kind of difficult country against any number of the enemy and in the face of positions of entirely unknown strength. After en­ tering Malolos the victorious American army feasted on cocoauuts and bauanat and enjoyed a well-earned rest. The country between Marilao and Ma­ nila presents a picture of desolation. Smoke is curling from hundreds of ash heaps and the remains of trees and fences torn by shrapnel are to be seen every­ where. The general appearance of the country is as if it had been swept by a cyclone. The roads‘are strewn with fur­ niture and clothing dropped in flight by the Filipinos. Tbe only persons remain­ ing behind arc a few aged persons, too in­ firm to escape. e They camp beside the ruins of their foftner home and beg pass­ ers-by for any kind of assistance. Tbe majority'of them are living on the gener­ osity of the American soldiers, who give them portions of their rations Bodies of dead Filipinos are stranded in the shallows of the river or are resting in the jungle where they crawled to die or were left in the wake of the hurriedly retreating army. The inhabitants who fled from Marilao and Meycauyan left in such a panic that on tables the American soldiers found money and valuables and in the rooms were trunks containing oth­ er property of value. They were not mo­ lested by the soldiers, but the Chinese who slip in between the armies looted when­ ever they, could and took possession of several bouses. over which they raised the Chinese flags, some of which were torn down. AOCINALDO’s IIEADQUA HTEBS. NO MORE VOLUNTEERS FOR OTIS. should have stood by his men to the last. Thousands of desertions from the native army are certain to follow the leader’s action. * The American flag was raised over Ma­ lolos at 10 o'clock Friday morning. The Kansas regiment and the Montana regi­ ment, on entering the city, found it de­ serted, the prosidencin burning, and the rebels retreating toward the mountains in a state of terror. The American loss was small. It was evident the rebels for some time past had abandoned all hope of holding their capital, for the Americans found there evidence of elab­ orate preparations for departure. On the railroad the rails and ties for about a mile had been torn up and probably tbrow*n Into the river. The only prisoners cap­ tured were a few Chinamen. The Unitea States troops rested Thurs­ day night In the jungle, about a mile and a quarter from Malolos. Thursday's ad­ vance began at 2 o'clock and covered a distance of about two and a half miles beyond the Guiguinto river, along tbe railroad. The brunt of the battle was on the right of tbe track, where the enemy was apparently concentrated. The First Nebraska, First South Da­ kota and Tenth Pennsylvania regiments encountered the natives intrenched on the border of the woods and the Americans, advancing arrow tbe open, suffered a ter­ rific fire for half an hour. Four men of the Nebraska regiment were killed and thirty were wounded. Ten men of the Dakota regiment were wounded and one of the Pennsylvanians was killed. The Americans finally drove the Fili­ pinos back. Although there were three lines of strong intrenebments along the track the natives made scarcely any de­ fense ‘there. The escape of Aguinaldo is offset by the fact that his capital fell into the hands of the American troops after such a short battle. Ever since the decisive advance from Manila into tbe interior was begun all the dispatches have predicted that the most desperate battle in the entire cam­ paign would have to be fought before Malolos was taken. Nevertheless it capitelated in such short order that its storm­ ing was like a skirmish. Only one inter­ pretation can be placed upon this, say offi­ cials of the War Department. That is that the backbone of tbe rebellion is brok$& and that the natives will soon surrender. Ges. Corbin Makes No Mention of Mattering in 35,000. It is said at the War Department that tbe subject of mustering in 35,000 volun­ teers under the army reorganization bill has not been mentioned to the President, either by Acting Secretary of War Me'klejobu or Adjt. Gen. Corbin. There is no intention to bring forward this ques­ tion at present, as, with the troops al­ ready ordered to Manila and which it will take some months to transport thither. Gen. Otis has all the forces necessary to accomplish what is desired of him iu the Philippines. ! WAR NEWS IN BRIEF. .■ The rebels burned the villages as they retreated in bad order toward Malolos. A colored woman was found hidden in a house at Meycaurayan, dead, apparently from fright. The men of the First Nebraska swam the river under fire and did much to dis­ concert the enemy. Bigaa was taken without one shot being fired, the enemy fleeing at the approach of the Americans: The prisoners who have lx*en taken by the Americans say the lenders alone pre­ vent the Filipinos from surrendering. Insurgents have been found with their throats ent. This is taken to indicate that they were thus punished for refusing to fight. Official reports show that the casualties in tbe fighting about Manila from Feb. 4 to March 28 were 189 killed and 896 wounded. The Filipinos tore up sections of the railroad in many places and attempted to burn the bridge at Bigaa, but the fire was extinguished owing to tbe timely arrival of tbe Americans. The soldiers or sailors of the war with Spain who think themselves entitled to any extra pay should present their Halms to the Auditors of the Treasury for the War or Navy Departments. Admiral Dewey Is said to have spent nearly $1,500,000 on his squadron since the battle of last May day. Much of this was for the recovery and repair of the Spanish veaaels added to hia squadron. The Legis-iture practically took a lay­ off Monday evening. Both bonne* had been scheduled to meet at 0 o’clock, but so many of the House members had gone to visit the Mt. Pleasant normal school there was no quorum. Enough of tbe Senators to do business showed up, but all. they, did was to file one bill, that of Rep­ resentative Murdoch, providing that high­ way commissioners might make contracts in matters entailing less than $50 without consulting tbe township boards. It took the House committee of the whole nearly four hours to talk ever three bills Tuesday afternoon and only one was passed. Representative Crosby’s bill pro: viding that in case, where the State re­ quires bonds they may be furnished by surety companies created all kinds of trou­ ble, as It was claimed that tbe measure had been gotten up in the interests of the saloonkeepers, who want'to evade having to secure personal bonds, the acceptance of which is now optional, while the bill made no such provision. Representative Eikhoff trotted out hia bill of last session providing that all factories using emery wheels must be provided with fans and blowers, but it was amended so much that he had it Informally passed. There was another warm tilt on Representative An­ derson’s bill to give the bodies of the pau­ per dead in Kent County to the Grand Rapids Medical College. The House ground out several bills In committee of the whole, including one allowing Clerk Lew Miller $800 for compiling the session laws of 1897, which was favorably pass­ ed. Representative Keep’s bill providing that the custodians of county, city or township records shall permit the inspec­ tion by the public under proper rules and regulgVons brought up. the old fight of favoritism. It being claimed some abstract firm might secure a monopoly of the rec­ ords. The House Committee on Military Affairs reported out a concurrent resolu­ tion providing for the return of the bat­ tleflag of the Fortieth < North Carolina Confederate infantry, captured by the Fourteenth Michigan infantry at the bat­ tle of Bentonville, 8. C., March 19, 1865, and now in the military museum in the capitoL The resolution wns unanimously adopted. The anti-pas* resolution, as reported by the conference committee, making tbe use of a pass bribery, was the first business taken up by the Assembly on Friday, end tbe committee report was adopted. After some argument ns to the exact status of the resolution—It having been back and forth between the two houses fl number of times—a motion was made to recon­ sider the vote adopting the committee re­ port. This was lost by a tie vote of 42 to 42. The bill and the resolution were laid over until Thursday. The Senate adopted a joint resolution providing for the appointment by the Governor of fif­ teen persons to interest the people of the State in making an exhibit Mt the Taris exposition. Adjournment was taken until Wednesday evening. Nearly two hours were spent Thursday morning in discussing (he rv|x>rt of the Educational Committee that the upper peninsula normal school should be located at Marquette, but the opposition again scored a failure, as only two members bad the courage to vote against the bill, while seventy-five favored it. The only change made was in.the name and the in­ stitution will be officially known as the Northern State Normal School. The Ways aud Means Committee reported out an appropriation of $25,009 for a building and $10,000 for running expenses coupled with the proviso that the city of Mar­ quette raise $5,000 to be devoted to fur­ nishing the school. Representative Keep finally got his bill through, giving the pub­ lic access to county, city or township rec­ ords without having to have a stand-in with the custodian and the joint resolu­ tion giving Clerk Lew Miller $800 for compiling the session laws of 1897 was branded O. K. In committee of the whole in tbe afternoon the House passed Senator Humphrey’s local option bill, with prac­ tically no debate. Gillam’s bill amend­ ing the general tax laws so that personal property may be seized anywhere in the State for delinquent taxes, was also pass­ ed. The bill has the proviso that the own­ ers of laud on which they do not want to pay taxes may deed tbe same to the State when it will be placed in the homestead net. Handy’s bill appropriating $100 for each county teachers’ institute and $400 for a State institute, the whole sum not to exceed $3,000, was passed. Represent­ ative Phillips tried to hold up the fish com­ mission deficiency bill, amounting to $5,­ 175. but failed. Among the other bills favorably considered were Pack’s, to place needy soldiers of the Spanish war under the provisions of the soldiers’ relief com­ mission. Burch's, providing that in the city of Detroit the structural plans of all builders over three stories high must be submitted to the city engineer for exam­ ination; amending charter of Detroit so that personal property of delinquent tax­ payers may be seized and sold at auction; increasing salaries of Wayne County cor­ oners from $1,200 to $2,000; providing that in Detroit persons arrested by the l>olice as suspects must be brought before a police justice within thirty-six hours, and that such persons cannot Ik* remand­ ed for more than twenty-four hours at a time. Heineman, providing »stenograph­ er for the Wayne County Circuit Court commissioners. Both houses adjourned until the following Tuesday night. * The following bills have recently passed the Senate: Senator Collingwood—Make valid cer­ tain acts performed by Alexander O. Tay­ lor, who was acting as Michigan register of deeds in tbe State of Rhode Island. Mr. Chamberlin—Repealing the act creating a board of commissioners for pur­ poses of securing a uniform series of text books.

She had then dropped her title, calling herself Miss Victoria Cleghorn. The princess was a typical Hawaiian t>eanty, tall and finely proportioned. She whs an excellent athlete and an ac­ complished musician. GREAT JOURNALIST GONE Death of Joseph Medlll Removed an Able Writer and Good Citizen. The recent death of Joseph Medlll, of the Chicago Tribune, removed one of the veteran and leading Journalists of ‘the country and one of the most high­ ly regarded of the citizens of the West­ ern metropolis. Mr. Medill was born in New Bruns­ wick, Canada, in 1823, but early re­ moved to this country with his par­ ents, and they settled in Stark County, Ohio. Bis first independent venture in journalism was In Coshocton, in 1849, when he established a Free Soil paper. Later he founded a paper at Cleveland, and two years afterward he was one of the organizers of the Republican party. In 1853 he connected himself with the Chicago Tribune and practic­ ally be had been tbe Tribune ever since. In 1855 be became part owner of the paper, and in 1874 secured a con­ trolling Interest. Mr. Medlll was a member of the Illi­ nois Constitutional Convention In 1870 and the following year was elected Mayor of Chicago. He also served as civil service commissioner, the only na­ tional office be ever filled. He wns an aggressive and able writer. A joker offered to bet half a sov­ ereign with a gentleman that he would ask sixteen persons one and the same question, to which he would receive the same answer. The bet was accept­ ed, and the joker asked each one of the sixteen the question: “Did you hear that Smith was bankrupt?” And “Which Smith Y' was tbe stereotyped reply. _______________ _________ The less artificial women are, the less men laugh at them.

Artificial ivory is now made chiefly from.skimmed milk and borax. Even billiard bulls are sometimes made of this artificial compound. Gout is rarely knbwn among the working classes of Ireland. Their im­ munity from this complaint is thought to be due to the fact that their food eonrists largely of potatoes. The amount of public land subject to i entry in the western states Is still very considerable. In Colorado there are 4.434,8445 acres; Minnesota, 2,473,828; Montana, 54,674.779; North, Dakota, 8,857,335? and South Dakota, 5,082.542. But a large portion of this land is unfit for cultivation. The enormous growth of the orange cultivating industry in California in re­ cent- years is demonstrated by the fact that in 188O-’81 a total of 15 cars laden with the fruit, were shipped east from Riverside, Cal., while In the season of j897-*98;the shipments amounted to 4,700 cars. John ¥. Stone, of Glenwood. la., has whatis believed to be the biggest apple । orchard In the world. It embraces 800 acres, upon which arc growing 133,000 trees, most of which have reached the bearing age. The broom factory of Che City Mis­ sion rfnd Tract society, of Brooklyn, has for years been more than'self-support­ ing by the work of otberwipe unem­ ployed men. From all parts of the city applicants for relief are offered a good home under religious influences, paid for by only six hours’ work per day. Cork Is one of the most difficult of substances to pulverize, because its elasticity prevents crushing, and It quickly dulls the edge of a knife. The only method found t bus far for powder­ ing it is by means of a machine in which it is torn apart on saw-toothed bars. Even these need frequent sharpening. The powdered cork is very light, re। mains in the air for a long time,'and when in this condition is extremely ex­ plosive. One who has handled it states that dynamite is much safer to handle in bulk than ground cork. IN VARIOUS PLACES As winter passes away it leaves many ft people feelind weak, depressed and easily v tired. This means that the blood needs C5 attention and sensible people always take z' a tonic at this time of year. Purgatives are not the right medicine — they weaken instead^ of strengthening. . , X Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People are W the best tonic medicine in the world and do not act on the bowels. They stimulate the the appetite, enrich the blood, strengthen stren^t nerves and make people feel brigh m< _ it, active and strong. ‘ .

She was very thin, her checks were pale her eyes sunken and dull. She was troubled with nervousness and general debility. ’T had been sick some during my life,” she said,- “but not qpy more than the average girl, and was considered strong and healthy. I had prepared to teach •ehpoi, but became so run down that I did not feel like lemming, and gave it up. I disliked to do this, but my mother and physician urged it. I licgan to grow pale, weak, lost several pounds of flesh, was stupid, and had no ambition. My appetite failed. My blood wns in a bad condition, having become tinn and waterv. After several months’ treatment from the family physician we saw he could do me no good. I was discouraged and did not know what to do. . ‘•One day I read an item in a paper of the wonderful curative qualities of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. Shortly afterwards a neighbor came m and told me about her experience, and how they cured her. I finally tried the medicine, and when nearly through with the second box noticed a change for the better. After I had taken eight boxes I was cured, and have had no occasion to take any kind of medicine since.

If tbe lost prop­ erty was identified to hiw satisfaction he would meet—at a specified place, and on a certain day and hour—a person accredited by the firm, and would personally restore the diamonds, without claiming a reward. The conditions being complied with, this remarkable interview took place; tbe writ­ er of the letter, described aa an infirm old man very poorly dressed, fulfilled his en­ gagement. took his receipt, and walked away without even waiting to be thanked. It is only an act of justice to add that the diamonds were afterward counted, and not one of them was missing.” Miserable, deservedly miserable, mar­ ried pair! The stolen fortune, on which they had counted, had slipped through their fingers. The berths in the steamer for New York had been taken and paid for. James had married a woman, with nothing besides herself to bestow on him, except an incumbrance in the shape of a boy. By a refinement of cruelty, not one word had been said to prepare little Syd for the dreary change that was now close at hand In her young life. The poor child had seen the preparations for departure,'and tried to imitate her mother in packing up. She had collected her few morsels of darned and ragged clothing, and bad gone up­ stairs to put them into one of the dilapi­ dated old trunks in tfie great playground, when the servant was sent to bring her back to the sitting room. There, enthron­ ed in an easy chair, sat a strange lady; and there, hiding behind the chair in un­ disguised dislike of the visitor, was her little brother Roderick.. 8yd looked timid­ ly at her. mother and her mother said: “Here' is your aunt.” “Make your courtesy, child,” said Miss Wigger. Nature had so toned her voice as to make it worthy of the terrors of her face. But for her petticoats, it would hove been certainly taken for the voice of a man. The child obeyed, trembling. “You are to go away with me,” the school mistress proceeded, “and to be taught to make yourself useful under my roof.” Syd seemed to be incapable of under­ standing the fate that was in store for her. She sheltered herself behind her merciless mother. "I'm going away with you, mamma,” she said—“with you and Rick.” s Her mother took her by the shoulders and pushed her across the room to her aunt. “You belong to me,” said MIm Wigger, “and I have come to take you away.” At those dreadful words, terror thook little Syd from head to foot She fell op her knees with a cry of misery that might have melted the heart of a savage. “Oh, mamma, mamma, don't leave me behind! What have I done to deserve it? Ob. pray, pray, pray hare some pity on me!” Her mother was as selfish »and as cruel a woman as ever lived. But even her hard heart felt faintly the influence of the most intimate and most sacred of all hu­ man relationships. Her florid cheeks* turned pale. She hesitated. Miss Wigger marked that moment of maternal indecision—and saw that it was time to assert her experience as an in­ structress of youth. “Leave it to me,” she said to her sister. “You never did know, and you never will know, how ‘o manage children.” She advanced. The child threw herself shrieking on the floor. Miss Wigger's long arms caught hea up—held her—ebook her. "Bo quiet, you Imp!” It was needless to tell her to be quiet Syd's little curly head sank on the school mistress’ shoul­ der. She was carried into exile without a word or a cry—she bad fainted. CHAPTER VI. f Time’s march moves slowly where weary lives languish in dull places. Dat­ ing from one unkept and unacknowledged birthday to another, Sydney Westerfield had attained the sixth year of her mar­ tyrdom at school. In that long Interval no news of her mother, her brother, or her stepfather had-reached England. Roder­ ick Westerfield’s daughter was, in the sad­ dest sense of the word, alone in the world. The hands of the ugly old clock in the school room were approaching the time when the studies in the morning would come to nn«nd. Wearily waiting for their release, tbe scholars saw an event happen which was a novelty in their domestic ex­ perience. The maid-of-all-work put her head in at the door, and interrupted Miss Wigger conducting the education of the first class. “If you please, miss, there's a gentle­ man in the drawing room,” she said. “And here’s his card.” Being a mortal creature, the school mis­ tress was accessible to the. promptings of curiosity. She snatched the card out of the girl's hand. Mr. Herbert Linley, Mount Morven, Perthshire. “I don’t know this person,’’ Miss Wigger declared. “You wretch, hare you let a thief into the house?” "A gentleman, if ever I see one yet,” the servant retorted. Miss Wigger referred to the card again, and discovered (faintly traced in pend!) these words: ‘To see Miss 8. W.” The school mistress instantly looked at Miss Westerfield. Mira Westerfield rose from her place at the head of her class. At a loss to understand the audacity of her teacher In rising before the class was dismissed. Miss Wigger began by assert­ ing her authority. She did in twp words: “Sit down!’’ “I wish to explain, ma’am.” “Sydney Westerfield, you are setting the worst possible example to your class. I shall bee this man myself. Will you sit down?” Pale already, Sydney turned paler still. She obeyed the word of command—to the high delight of the girls of her class. Miss Wigger entered her drawing room. With the slightest possible inclination of her head, she eyed the stranger through her green spectacles. Tbe servant’s esti­ mate of him was beyond dispute. Mr. Herbert Linley's good breeding was even capable ot suppressing all outward expres­ sion of tbe dismay that he felt on finding himself face to face with the formidable person who had received him. "What is your business, if you pleaser Miss Wigger becan. In the education of * little girl. Poaaa**ing but few accomplishments. snd haring been only a junior teacher at a school, she offers b-r service* on trial, leaving it to her employer to pay whatever salary ahe may be considered to deserve." . “Moat impertinent!” said Mira Wigger. Mr. Linky looked astonished. “I say, most impertinent!” Mira Wigger repeated. “One ot my teachers has Issued an advertisement, and has referred to my address, without first consulting me. Have I made myself understood, sir?" She looked at the carriage when she call­ ed him "str." But just here the door was opened; a young lady entered the room. Waa this the writer of the advertise­ ment? He felt sure of It, for no better reason than this: Tbe moment he looked at her she interested him. "What do you mean by coming here?” Mias Wigger inquired. “I wish to know,” she said, “if this gen­ tleman desires to see me, on the subject of my advertisement?" “Your advertisement?' Mira Wigger re­ peated. “Miss Westerfield, how dare you beg for employment in a newspaper, with­ out asking my leave ?’ "I only waited to tell you what I bad done, till I knew whether my advertise­ ment would be answered or not” She spoke as calmly as before, still sub­ mitting to the insolent authority of the school mistress with a steady fortitude, very remarkable in any girl—and espe­ cially In a girl whose face revealed a sensitive nature. Linley approached her, and said his few kind words before Mira Wigger could assert herself for tbe third time. • "I am afraid I have taken a liberty in answering you personally, when I ought to have answered by letter. My only ex­ cuse is that I have no time to arrange for an interview, in London, by correspon­ dence. I live in Scotland, and I am oblig­ ed to return by the mail to-night.” He paused. She was -looking at him. Did she understand him? . She understood him only too well. For the first time, poor soul, in the miserable years of her school life, she saw eyes that rested ou her1 with the sympathy that is too truly felt to be uttered in words. Her head sank; her wasted figure trem­ bled; a few tears dropped slowly on the bosom of her shabby dress. She tried, desperately tried, to control herself. “I beg your pardon, sir,” was all she could say; “I am not very welt” (To be continued.) Sold Ticket* on Him. It is good to be a celebrity, and it la sometimes profitable merely to recog­ nize one. While Chauncey M. Depew was at the Omaha exposition, says the New Y’ork Times, he and President Cal­ laway of the New York Central chanced to go Into a booth on the Mid­ way Plaisance. It was a tame entertainment and there was only a meagre attendance when Mr. Depew and Mr. Callaway en­ tered. Their stay would have been very brief except for the fact that they bad scarcely taken' their seats before there begun a steady Inpouring of peo­ ple, which continued until the small au­ ditorium was crowded. Taking this exifraordlnary Increase of spectators os an Indication that some­ thing of an interesting nature was about to be disclosed, the two NewYorkers concluded to sit it out Half an hour’s waiting failed to reward their patient expectancy, however, and Mr. Callawa’- suggested that they move on. Just then ex-Secretary of Agriculture J. Sterling Morton pushed his way through the crowd, and extending his hand to Mr. Depew exclaimed: “Well, Doctor Depew, so you are real­ ly here! I thought that ‘barker* w’as lying.” "What do you mean?’ inquired Mr. Depew. “Why, the ‘barker’ for this show is standing outside and inviting the crowd to ‘step up lively’ and pay ten cents for the privilege of seeing the 'great and only Chauncey M. Depew.’ ” Ingenuity. In physics and natural history there are opportunities to direct and control the out-of-school activities of young people of which the enthusiastic teach­ er of science is not slow to avail him­ self. In describing the ingenuity of boys, a writer in the Atlantic Monthly gives the following: One of the most astonishing facts of the time is the ingenuity of boys In constructing electrical apparatus, with but a few hints and out of the most meagre material. I know boys who have belt-lines of electric tramways circulating In their garrets; and a boy who, last year, was the despair of his teachers, now deserv­ ed recognition in the manual training exhibit as the clever Inventor of a most ingenious electrical boat. An invitation to boys to bring to school products of their own ingenuity or the natural history specimens that they have collected will result In an ex­ hibition which, in variety and quality, will be a revelation to one who is not used to following them In these inter­ ests. Device for bmokinir Meat. Recent illustrated articles in tbe Ohio Farmer on this subject, says a correspondent of that journal, gener­ ally provide for locating the fire di­ rectly under the meat in tbe smoke­ house. The accompanying sketch il­ lustrates a far better method, ns the smoke is cooled before reaching the meat Tbe illustration explains itself. All that is required is a few joints of stove-pipe and an elbow, a barrel with a loose cover into which the pipe is fitted and connected with tbe smoke­ house as shown. A few Inches of ashes !n the bottom of the barrel, hol­ lowed out to receive the fire, and tbe outfit is complete. It is almost impos­ sible to smoke meat with the fire di­ rectly under it without heating it more or less, and these partial cookings and SMOKIXO MAT. sweatings Impart an unsavory taste. Another advantage of this method is that all danger of/fire Is avoided. Having Brna^ for Kindling. In pruning orchards the branches cut out are often piled in heaps, and when dried are burned, often Injuring *the trees in their vicinity. There Is a much better way than this. Apple, pear or peach wood makes when dried a very hot fire, and should be saved for the stove when tbe branches are too large to cut readily. Even the twigs have their value. They make the very best of kindlings when dried, and If they are somewhat crooked they are all the better,, because they will not pack closely together as t|>e straight sticks are pretty sure to do. An old story Is told of a farmer who once boasted among bls companions what a good, patient wife he had. She never com­ plained of anything be did. One of them suggested that the next time he drew up wood for the house he should make a load of tbe crookedest sticks he could find. He did so, and as he drew up the load to the house his wife came out smiling to meet him. “Mary, how do you like this load of wood?" was the inquiry, while the farmer’s companions stood by expecting a storm of abuse. Instead, the reply was given In the sweetest tones, "Oh, John, that Is capi­ tal wood. We always used it at home when I was a girl, and mother used to say that the crooked pieces made the hottest fire because they fitted so nicely around the kettles.’’—American Culti­ vator. .

And he went out to look for another physician. Teaching Calves to Drink. Nature teaches tbe calf to turn ita mouth upward to get Its food. The unwillingness of the calf to put Its head down into a pall Is the result of Instinct. Some have thought to offset this instinct by never aUowlng the calf to suck Its dam even once. But we think this Injures tbe calf. It needs stimulation when first born, and should be allowed to get It In the way most natural to it In sucking, the teat the milk comes slowly, and a good deal of saliva is mixed with It. But after once socking Its dam the calf should be taught to drink out of a pail, and to put its head down when eating. It will need to be pretty hungry to do this readily, and tbe finger should be used, placing ft first in the calf’s mouth, and then putting the finger into tbe milk. So soon as the calf gets fairly to drink­ ing. the finger should be withdrawn.— Exchange. Bllkins—"Who was it wrote ‘Actions speak louder than words?

That woman tried to beat me down on the price of quinine.” "What did Bhe say?” "She said I ought to make It 10 cents cheaper because she had to pay her lit­ tle boy to take it” Weik-Growlst Apple Tress. There 18 a great difference in varie­ ties of apple trees as to .their habit ot growth, and judgment is needed tn portioning out the manure to be used on each. Tbe strong-growing varieties like Northern Spy will need very little stable manure until they begin to fail from old age. But there are other kinds of slow and feeble growth that even while young can bear some stim­ ulation with stable manure, especially If it Is composted, and Itto deficiencies of potash and phosphate are supplied. Coarse manure ought never to be ap­ plied to apple trees at any age. It is tbe fermentation of manure in tbe soil that Is the prolific cause of the fungus growths that Injure foliage and fruit more than the manure can help • the tree. The only fertilizers that can be always used with safety are the miner­ als potash and phosphate. . • Severe Root Prnnin-r Favorod. Although the horticulturist of the Georgia experiment station declines to make any positive statement concern­ ing tbe advisability of severe root pruning when planting young trees, he says that be Is fairly satisfied that peach trees from which the roots have been largely cut off will live and flour­ ish In Georgia even In stiff clay and under adverse weather conditions. The same statement may also be made of apple and cherry trees. In some expenknents made the last two yearn he found that the root-pruned trees made fewer, deeper, larger and more robust roots. These roots penetrated 17% Inches, against 9% inches for'the roots of unpruned trees. Black Rot in Grapes. The black rot of the grape was the subject of experiments conducted last year tn France. A solution of Bordeaux mixture containing not less than 2 per cent of copper sulphate was found to give the best results. The first appli­ cation should be made when tbe shoots are quite short The efficiency of the subsequent sprayings depends upon,the time of their application. For ordi­ nary black rot four or five sprayings will be sufficient Brood Ben*. If broody hens are properly treated nine out of ten will begin to lay again within two weeks after being removed from the nest But if they are half drowned, starved a week, or bruised and abused. It is more than likely they will get even with their owners by de­ clining to lay a single egg until they have fully recovered from their Illtreatment and acquired their custom­ ary tranquility.

Baveral Villases Are Destroyed and a Large Number of NaUvw Killed and Injured-Three British Bailors and an American Sentry Killed by the Rebels During a Fierce Attack—Ger­ man Consul Refuses to Aid the Other Powers. l!he startling news from Samoa, cabled to this country from Auckland, whither tbe Intelligence had been sent by the usu­ al mail advices, Indicates that "a mrious dash has taken place between the official representatives of Great Britain and the United States and the native adherents of Mataafa. The followers of Mataafa, af­ ter having refused to disperse in accord­ ance with the demands of the English and American officials, attempted to make a demonstration against the British and American consulate*. From the fact that the commanders of the British and the American warships, the Porpoise and the Philadelphia, felt justified In shelling the natives who engaged in the demonstra­ tion, it is to be assumed that the provo­ cation offered by. Mataafa'* followers was extreme. ’ According to the Auckland dispatches, the chief* supporting King Mataafa hav­ ing refused to abide by the terms of the tripartite'treaty, and continuing to defy them despite the representations of the agents of the United States and Great Britain, Admiral Kautz, the American naval commander, convened a meeting of the cuusuls and the senior naval officers on board his flagship, the cruiser Pbiladcl-1 phis. After discussing the question in all its bearings it was resolved to dismiss the i provisional government. Admiral Kautz . therefore issued a proclamation ordering the adherents of Mataafa to return to their homes. When the proclamation was published Mataafa evacuated Mulinuu and went inland. Herr Rose, the Ger­ man consul, then issued a proclamation upholding the provisional government, whereupon the Mataafans assembled and surrounded the town. Tbe British cruiser'Royalist had mean­ while brought a number of Malietoan pris­ oners from the other islands, where they had been confined by the Mataafans. The Americans fortified Mulinuu, nnd 2,000 of tbe Malietoans took refuge there. The Mataafans barricaded the roads within the municipality and seized a number of houses belonging to British subjects. An ultimatum was sent to their leaders, warning them If they did not evacuate the municipality by. 1 .o’clock, March 15, the place woul0 l>e bombarded by the American and British warships. To this ultimatum tbe Mataafans paid not the ■lightest attention, but, on the eonttary, began an attack on the Malietoans. Bombardment Is Began. American Consul Osborn and British Consul Maxse consulted, and at their in­ stance. a half hour before the ultimatum expired, tbe Philadelphia and the British warships Royalist and Porpoise opened fire on some distant villages. The Yankee ■nd British gunners had great difficulty in locating the enemy, owing to the dense forests in which they were concealed. The fire from the warships, however, soon set fire to Rome of the shore villages aod caus­ ed much damage. A defective shell from the Philadelphia exploded near the American consulate, and the marine* who were standing guard outride had a very narrow escape. A piece of the shell went through the Ger­ man consulate, causing great destruction. The Germans became alarmed and board- tempted, with the aid of the German con­ sul and Dr. Faffel, the German president of the council, to oust Chief Justice Chambers from office. This attempt fail­ ed through the activity of the American and British consuls aud Commander Sturde of the British cruiser Porpoise. Affairs continued in an unsettled state, the government of Mataafa being tyran­ nical. The gravest aspect of the matter, of course, is involved In the possibility of further complications in tbe relations of the three powers which hold the joint pro­ tectorate of Samoa. It has been known from the first that Germany's representa­ tive* in the islands arc favorable to Ma­ taafa.1 while the British and American representatives have stood together In de­ claring Matnafa ineligible for the king­ ship. It was because the American who hold* the position of chief justice had de­ cided that Mataafa was ineligible, while and 200 Wounded-Many Natives Div. —Filipino* Retreat to Their Capital.

The rebels could not withstand the impetuous onset of our men and were driven back like sheep, after tiring a single volley. Gen. Wheaton's brigade, after a sharp engage­ ment, took Malinta, but could not follow up this advantage at once, owing to the destruction of a bridge by the rebels and the impossibility of fording tbe river. An incident of Gen. Wheaton’* advance was the evacuation of the city of Malnbon and Its burning by the rebels, which Gen. Wheaton was unable to prevent owing to the natural obstacles in his front. It is a grateful feature of the day's op­ erations that our casualties were light, so far as the number of killed is concern­ ed. Among these was Col.

NEARLY IOO PERSONS DROWN. Efgkinh Excursion Steamer Stella Sinks in tbe Caaqueta. The steamer Stella, with tourists for the ialand* of Jersey and Guernsey, struck od the Casquets, a few miles off the French coast, and sank in eight minutes, her boilers exploding with a tremendous report as she went down. There were 176 passengers on board, only eighty of whom are reported saved. Captain Reek* went down with the ship. The Stella was crowded with Easter holiday excursion­ ists from London and Southampton. A thick fog prevailed and the Stella got out of her course. When the vessel struck the Caaquets tbe people on board became greatly excited. The officers of tbe vessel, aided by a few cool heads, made their way among the frightened ex­ cursionists and checked a threatened panic. The people were crowded iato small boats as fast as possible, the women aud children taking precedence. Tbe steamers Lynx and Vera, which happened to be in tbe vicinity, rescued several boat loads of the shipwrecked people. All available boats at Guernsey, the nearest point, went to the scene of the wreck. Despite the efforts of the ship's officers the incredibly short time in which the steamer settled caused great confu­ sion, and there was not time to distribute life preservers to all the passengers. Some of these did not wait for the boats, but jumped into the water. Several of them were picked up clinging to pieces of wreckage. The rescued passengers are unapimyijs in their praise of the conduct of Vie crew. ______________ Otis' Shrewd Hcbcms.

A German scientist claims that the memory is stronger in summer than in winter. He says that among the worse foes of the memory are too much food, too much physical exercise, and too much education. Nicola Tesla thinks that a man has just so many hours to.be awake, aud the fewer be uses up each day the more days will they last. “I believe," he adds, “that a man who slept most of the time might live 200 Chose * * * fiandsomc Suits And not even Nature would allow the flowers to grow and blossom to perfection without good soil.

Clarriaaa E. Hagerman, dnceaaed. Many women suffer untold agony and misery because the nature of their disease is not correctly understood. They have been led to believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for the many ills that beset woman-kind. Neuralgia, nervousness, headache, puffy or dark circles under the eyes, rheumatism, a dragging pain or dull ache in the back, weakness or bearing­ down sensation, profuse or scanty supply of urine with strong odor, fre­ quent desire to pass it with scalding or burning sensation, sediment in it after standing in a bottle or common glass for twenty-four hours, are signs of kidney and bladder trouble. The above symptons are often attrib­ uted by the patient herself or by her physican to female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain relief, because they are treating, not the disease itself, but a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact, women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and blad­ der trouble and both need the same remedy. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is the great discovery of the eminent kidney and.bladder specialist, and is easy to get kt any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar. To prove its wonderful merits you may have a sample bottle and book telling all about it, both sent absolute- < ly free by mail.

Ana if there is a soul on earth that has suffered as I have, they are certainly deserving of much pity. Nearly two years ago I began to be troubled with Indigestion. Soon my bowels began bothering me. Occasion­ ally I would have sever^ Headache and Dizzy spells. My appetite grad­ ually left me so that nothing seemed to relish. Doctors said I had inflam­ mation of the mucous Tnembrane of the Stomach. My condition was such that it affected my' Heart, and frequently I would fall helpless to the ground. About a year ago I was obliged to quit work of any kind and was at times unable to even walk across the street, or stoop over on account of my heart trouble and dizziness. I bought various prepartions recommended for my troubles, but continued to grow worse. Four weeks ago I heard what Drake’s Dyspepsia Cure and Nerve Restorer was doing for cases similar to my own; I immediately procured a package from John J. Orr of Tecum­ seh; after using It three weeks 1 began doing some work, and last week, which was the fourth week I had taken the treatment, I built fence nearly every ‘ day. Wordsean not express my grat­ itude for what this treatment has done for me, and I wish every sufferer in the world knew of its wonderful cura­ tive power. Yours very truly, £ C. M.

Sydney respectfully obeyed. “I had the worst possible opinion of you,” Mrs. Presty resumed, “before I hgd the pleasure of listening on the other side of the curtain. If I had been ashamed to listen behind those curtains, there is no injury that my stupid prejudices might not have inflicted on this unfortunate girl. As it in, I have heard her story, and I do ber justice. Count on me, Sydney, as your friend." “Now we are alone, Catherine," she add­ ed, when the door had closed on the gov­ erness, “I have a word of advice for your private ear. We have much to anticipate from Miss Westerfield that is pleasant and encouraging. But I don’t conceal It from myself or from you, we have also .something to fear." “To fear?" Mrs. Linley repeated. “I don’t understand you." “First obstacle In the, way of her moral development, her father—tried, found guilty, and dying In prison.

You don't know her, ns I know her. So pa­ tient, so forgiving, so grateful to Her­ bert." "So grateful to Herbert." Mrs. Presty looked at her daughter in silent surprise. There could be no doubt about it; Mrs. Linley failed entirely to see any possibil­ ities of future danger, in the grateful feel­ ing of her sensitive governess toward her handsome husband. At this exhibition of simplicity, the old lady’s last reserves of endurance gave way; she rose to go.’"You have an excellent heart, Catherine," she remarked; "but ns for your head----- ” "Well, and what of my head?” “It’s always beautifully dressed, my dear, by your maid." Wltly that parting shot, Mrs. Presty took her departure by way of the library. Almost at the same moment, the door of the breakfast room was opened. A young man advanced and shook hands cordially with Mrs. Linley. CHAPTER IX.'

Randal answered that be had seen Miss Westerfield. The in­ evitable question followed. What did be think of her? •Til tell yon in a week or two more," he replied. “No! tell me at once.” “I don't like trusting my first Impres­ sions; I have a bad habit of jumping to conclusions.” “Jump to a conclusion now, to please me." Randal smiled and gave way. “Your governess," he replied, "looks out of health, and strikes me as being insignifi­ cant and ugly. Let us see what our fine air and our easy life will do for her. He went into the library and returned with his letters. "This will amuse Kitty," be said, banding to his sister-in-law a New York newspaper, to which she had already referred in speaking to her hus­ band. Mrs. Linley examined the engravings— and turned back again to look once more at an illustration which had interested her. A paragraph on the same page caught her attention. She had hardly glanced at the first words before a cry of alarm escaped her. "Dreadful news for Miss Westerfield!" she exclaimed. “Bead It, Randal." He read these words: "The week's list of insolvent traders includes an Englishman named James Bellbridge, formerly connected with a dis­ reputable saloon In thia dty. Bellbridge is under suspicion of having caused the death of bls wife, in a fit of delirium tre­ mens. The unfortunate woman had been married, for the first time, to one of the English aristocracy—the Honorable Rod­ erick Westerfield—whose trial for casting away a ship under his command excited considerable interest in London some years since. The melancholy circum­ stances of the case are complicated by the disappearance, on the day of the mur­ der, of the woman's young son by her first husband. The poor boy is supposed to hare run away in terror from his misera­ ble home, and the police are endeavoring to discover some trace of him. It Is re­ ported that another child of the first mar­ riage is living in England. But nothing is known about ber." “Serious news for Miss Westerfield, as yon say.” Randal resumed. “And, as I think, serious news for us. Here is a swered. “in that poor ill-used gori. AU resolution to control herself; and yet I should like to encourage her If I can. Her chief sorrow must be—not for the mother who has so shamefully neglected her—but for the .poor little brother, a castaway, lost in a strange land. Can we do noth­ ing to relieve her anxiety?" “I can write," Randal said, “to a man whom I know in New York, a lawyer in large practice." ‘ “The very person we want! Write— pray write by to-day's post!” The letter was dispatched. It was de­ cided—and wisely decided, as the result showed—to say nothing to Sydney until the answer was received. Randal’s cor­ respondent wrote back with as. little delay as possible. He had made every inquiry, without success. Not a trace of the boy ,had been found. The one event that had happened, since the appearance of the paragraph in a New York newspaper, was the confinement of James Bellbridge in an asylum as a madman under restraint, without hope of recovery.

Much has already been written con­ cerning the women of the Philippines, for the subject is engaging. For all their dark faces they have figures the grace of.which is accentuated by the very garments they wear. They have lustrous dark eyes and luxuriant black hair. In which thej4 take great prkle; It Is long, thick, and glossy, anointed with cocoanut oil, cleaned and washed with lime juice, and usually worn In a coll or knot held bygs golden comb or orna­ mented pins. Hats and bonnets are uuknowh among the Filipinos, so no doubt many an American husband wishes he lived here. The native wom­ en have finely shaped feet that never knew a stocking; they wear low slip­ pers of an Oriental pattern, sometimes wooden shoes. The dress of a Filipino woman usually consists of a single gar­ ment with wide sleeves; a pina-cloth handkerchief is generally worn around the neck, and every one wears a rosary or a crucifix. Housekeeping in the na­ tive section Is quite primitive in its de­ tails. Lovemaking, courtship and mar­ riage arc here conducted in the manner common in Oriental lands, the lover serving the father of his future wife. Fifteen years is the customary age for marriage here in the Philippines.— Manila letter to Collier's Weekly. Wotnen Workers in Efagland. The prevalent idea has been for some time that the typical English woman is, above all things, domestic, and R has been mentioned that the pushing, bust­ ling, fine de slecle American girl might profitably study the shrinking, cringing femininity of her English cousins. The American woman has also proudly claimed that she was the pioneer in women’s occupations, and that there are more trades and professions open to women in America than anywhere else on the globe. A book just pub­ lished In England, upon perusal, will soon take this conceit out of her. Among the numerous occupations may be noted the following: Feminine archi­ tects, fanners, plumbers, bankers, chemists, contract ore and gardeners. Women drivers, cab drivers, pilots and letter carriers figure conspicuously. The Harp of Brian Born.

A Vermont farmer, recently showed to a wool dealer in that State wool from one of bis Cotswold sheep from which a thread was taken that when brought out to full length measured almost eight feet It is probable that Cotswold sheep give wool with the longest threads of any, though all wool, being curly, is much longer than It looks to be on the bodies of the sheep. The growth of wool continues from one shearing till the next and any sickness or Indigestion of the sheep daring this period results In Injury to the woolgrown at that time. t The old farms in Canada that com­ mand the highest prices are said to be those on which sheep have been kept from the time they were first occupied. The pastures on them arc compara­ tively free from bushes and weeds, while the soil is firm and productive of the l>est sort of grasses. A farm on which a large number of sheep have been kept for many years is very desir­ able for dairy and other purposes. The lesson of the value of sheep is one that farmers seem to learn bnt slowly.

The dry matter of most, if not nil, crops is relatively richer In protein Id the early stages of Its growth, and In carbo­ hydrates in the liter stages. Late-cut hay Ib not an Ideal food for dairy stock, owing to the large Increase of Indigest­ ible woody fiber which occurs as the crop approaches maturity. The early crops are quickly destroy­ ed If neglected. Onions require careful watching, as the early weeds may get ahead of them in forty-eight hours should the weather be warm for a few days, which doubles the work of the farmer. The best time to destroy weeds Is when they are germinating. Whenever the wheel hoe runs between the rows it not only admits warmth and causes the seeds of weeds to ger­ minate, but kills those that are Just starting. But few farmers would consider hay ns a suitable food for hogs, but the Kansas Experiment Station reports better results from a mixture of alfalfa hay and Kaffir corn than from Kaffir only. The hay was fed dry in forkfuls, and the pigs were given an abundance.

The proclamation is signed by Jacob Gould Schurmnnn. George Dewey. Elwell 8. Otis, Charles Denby and Dean C. Wor­ cester. .

REBELLION 13 WANING, Commissioners, in a Lonir Telecram to McKinley, Confirm Otis’ Advices President McKinley received a long tel­ egram from the Philippine commissioners Tuesday confirming the encouraging ad­ vices telegraphed by Gen. Otis and an­ nouncing that they Ipd taken advantage of the favorable opportunity to issue a proclamation to the people. They stated that in their opinion the rebellion was practically over. The troops will hold positions alrcadyBcnptured and scouting parties will be sent out to look after the scattered 'bands of insurgents that have fled in different directions. The commission reports that the people are coming back to their homes and that the local governments are being reorgan­ ized. They state that most of the local governm-nts were forced into the rebel­ lion by Aguinaldo, who, while the treifty of peace was being negotiated with Spain, sent detachments of from fifty to 200 of his adherents from Luxon to each of the other provinces "to seise the governments as robbers hold up traius.” This is a new piece of information.

The grand total of votes cast for all mayoral candidates was 299,709. It was one of the quietest election days in the history of Chicago. There was no occasion for brawling or fighting or in­ timidation of voters, even if anybody had been no inclined. Complaints of infrac­ tion of the election laws were singularly few. Intense interest in the election, sup­ plemented by the finest election day weather imaginaBie. brought out the heaviest vote ever cast in a Chicago dty electiod.

COLD, BACKWARD SPRING THE CAUSE. 18 Favorable Wheat Crop Advices Also Have •* Bad Effect-Price* Con­ tinue Stroag-CTricken-SteaHng Waa Fatal Work for Oae Mao. The trade situation is thus discussed by Bradstreet's: "Tbe quieter tone of distrib­ utive trade is even more marked this week than last, testifying to the unfavorable effect upon retail trade and indirectly up­ on jobbing distribution of the cold, back­ ward spring and less favorable wheat crop advices. Other feature* of the week are a further quieting down of the excitement In iron and steel, though here lack of sup­ plies slid not lack of consumptive demand is assigned as the chief reason. Lumber is feeling the influence of expanding • spring demand at many markets, and prices are very strong. The situation in textiles is little changed. Cotton is slight­ ly lower on fuller crop movement, but manufactured goods are firm. Wool and woolens are rather quiet. The situation as regards prices is still a very favorable one, tbe list of staples advancing or re­ maining steady, being by far the most numerous, while bank clearings, statistics, railroad earnings and all other obtainable measures of trade -progress point to an immense business, speculative and other­ wise, having been done during the first quarter of the year 18£>0.

The fire In the Adams house was put out after causing *10,000 damage. When the firemen searched the building they found Mrs. "Mary Loughlin, 60 years old, burned to death in her bed on an up­ per floor. The police, after a thorough investiga­ tion of the ruins of the Andrews mansion, concluded that the fire started through a gas explosion, which occurred in the base­ ment of the bouse. Nearly every soul in that splendid but ill-fated mansion per­ ished. Two servants saved their lives for a time by jumping, but the injuries they received from their awful leap will prob­ ably prove fatal. The Andrews mansion was completely* gutted, and it was three hours of more be­ fore the firemen and police could begin the search for the dead. Body after body was carrietrout, laid on the sidewalk and then . carried to a near-by police station. The first to be identified was that of Mrs. George St., John, daughter of Wallace p. Andrews. With her husband and children she lived in her father's house. Her hus­ band, C. G. St. John, happened to be away in Delaware ou a business trip, and thus saved his life. BIG DROP IN STOCKS. Wildly Exciting Scene* Witnessed on the Exchange*. There was a panic on the stock ex­ changes Friday. It was a “black Friday” on all of the bourses. Millions were lost on Wall street, and LaSalle street, Chi­ cago, has not bad such a shaking up since the memorable days in *96, when the Moore campaign iu Diamond Match and Biscuit shares ended in disaster. It was a case of everybody trying to sell at once. Stocks poured out of the commission houses in enormous volume, and with them came the most vigorous hammering of the market by the profes­ sional bear element that has been seen in several months. All efforts of the .bull Interests to stem the tide were unavail­ ing, and after the first few minutes of the session all efforts in this direction were apparently withdrawn. The market in Wall street was in a thoroughly demoral­ ized condition. Sensational does not be­ gin to express the state of affairs that pre­ vailed. The decline in the industrials quickly spread to th? genera) list, and for a time the bottom appeared*to have drop­ ped out* of the whole market. Not only the industrial, but the railroad shares, good and bad, as well, were thrown over­ board in the wild scramble of traders to get out from under. It was not a question of taking remaining paper*profits, but of minimizhig losses. The main idea seemed to be to get out of the market as quickly as possible. TO PROTECT AMERICANS Cruiser Detroit Harried to Blu?6eid*. Nicaragua. The cruiser Detroit was ordered post haste to Bluefields, Nicaragua, for the protection of American interests in that quarter. Its dispatch under hurry order* was at the urgent request of the State Department, to which American residents both nt Bluefields aud iu Costa Rica ap­ pealed for protection of American inter­ ests. The arbitrary and extortionate policy adopted by Gen. Torres at Bluefieida, who on more than one occasion has made himself persona non grata to this Govern­ ment, and whose restoration to power has been followed' by acts which American residents resent and protest against, was the main cause of the vessel's dispatch. The State Department at the same time cabled instructions to the United States diplomatic representatives at Bluefield* to lodge an energetic protest with the Nic­ araguan Government against the action of Gen. Torres. In Costa Rica the American business interests and residents are in trouble as a result of an insurrectionary movement, it is understood that the in­ surgents are levying forced loans on them, besides collecting exorbitant and double duties on imports. FARES ARE LOWERED. Indianapolis Finally Win* It> Street Railway Fight, Indianapolis has won its fight for cheap­ er street car fare*—six tickets for 25 cents, twenty-five ticket* for *1, with transfer privilege*, making the fare really 4 cents. Single fare*, however, will re­ main at 5 cents as at present. The street car company also agrees to bear the cost of paving between the track* and for eighteen inches on each side. These, in brief, are the terms of the 34-year fran­ chise of the Indianapoli* Street Railway Company, which has been signed and ac­ cepted. In addition to reducing the fare and doing the paving, the company agree* to pay the city of Indianapolis *1,160,090 in cash, in regular installments.

Ited tbe plantation near Bmedes to Ma Maagaa’a Experience May Revo­ lutionise th a Cotton Industry ia Our Booths™ States-Monkey Sieve* to • Be Imported from African Forest*. CHIGAN the monkeys at tbeir wort. On tbe plantation Lhs rows were filled -with monkeys, each with her. little cotton, sack about her neck, picking away quietly and orderly and without any rush or confusion. As fast as the monkeys got their sacks full they would run to tbe end of the row, where a man was stationed to empty tbe contents of the sacks into baskets. Then the monkeys would scamper back along the row and would Immediately resume their work. The monkeys seemed actually to enjoy pick­ ing. Each monkey was protected from the rays of the sun while picking by a cotton cap, which was tied- under ' its chin with a piece of string. Mr. Mangum Is enthusiastic over the success of his experiment "The in­ troduction of monkeys as cotton pickers means more to the South," said be, not long ago, “than a cotton picking ma­ chine; for the monkeys are a success ns pickers, while the machines, so far, have been failures. Tbe monkeys are in every way superior to. negroes as pickers. In the first place, the cost of picking Is about one-third. Then they are far more careful than negroes and pick a finer grade of cotton. Even dur­ ing the rainy fall, when all other cotton was of a low grade, that picked by the monkeys of my plantation was all mid­ dling. And that cdtton sold for more than one-half a cent more than that which was picked by the negroes. In fact, I believe that the discovery that monkeys can be' taught to pick cotton is the greatest that has been made for the cotton planter since Whitney discover­ ed the cotton gin. “People around here laughed at me when I first tried to teach monkeys to pick cotton, as they always do when a man tries anything new. But now that my experiment has proved to be a suc­ cess, my neighbors are wild about It The negroes around the plantation have sworn that they would kill the mon­ keys. They haven’t done so yet how­ ever, and I apprehend no great danger In that direction.” Mr. Mangum intends to Import more monkeys from Africa, and he desires other planters to join with him In Importing a lot of them. ’ Monkeys are developing intelligence rapidly along some lines of human en­ deavor and soon.may become such a factor that labor unions will have to recognise In them a formidable element In tbe aphere of manual labor. The tan­ gled forests of Darkest Africa, which. In the early days of the nation, supplied the Southern planter with slaves to cul­ tivate bls cotton fields and to gather bls crops, have again, been drawn upon by the farmer, whose Ingenuity Is equally great, whether he devotes his energies to tbe manufacture of.wooden nutmegs in Northern States or of liquid moon­ shine In tbe South. This time tbe demand Is for monkeys —good, able-bodied monkeys, who shall be equal to a heavy day’s work in tbe cotton fields. For that Is tbe scheme which the wily Southerner has planned, and which be has found to be practica­ ble. He will set monkeys at work pick­ ing bls cotton crop, according to our veracious correspondent In Vicksburg. And why not? Monkeys have been used in some parts of Asia to fetch and carry, and they learn rapidly all that Is required of them. Scores of them have Jteen working on the plantation of W. W. Mangum In Mississippi since the fall of 1897. Man­ gum attended tbe Vicksburg fair, in 1896 with Prof. 8. M. Tracey, and watched the antics of a-number of trained monkeys who were performing various-tricks, under the supervision of tbeir trainer. “As sure ns ycu’re alive, Mangum,” said Prof. Tracey, “those monkeys earn be taught to pick cotton better and far more cheaply than our negroes do, and perpetual fame will be the part of the man who tries the experiment and finds it a success.” . Magnum laughed at the suggestion, but the more his friend talked to him about the matter the more Inclined he was to try the experiment. In Septem­ ber, 1897, he hunted up the owner and Ballet Dancer* .Are Long-Lived. trainer of twenty trained monkeys in A statistician has been devoting him­ New York City and made arrangements both to buy the monkeys and to get the self to a study of ballet dancers, and services of their trainer, who assured bls Investigation seems to.establish the him that It would be tbe simplest thing fact that they are an unusually long- night and go oat next morning and haul It up. ahd you'*’e got a box full of lobsters.

The males weigh about 110 pounds and the females average 90 pounds each In weight Bags were made for each monkey that would bold twenty-five pounds of cotton, and a bag was placed over each monkey’s shoulder. It was surprising how fast tbe monkeys learn­ ed to pick cotton. Baskets to hold the cotton were placed at each end of the rows, and one man besides the trainer was necessary to take tbe cotton out of the sacks and put It In the baskets pro­ vided. The female monkeys proved much better pickers than the males. For they not only picked cleaner cotton, but they also picked more of It in a day than did tbe males. In less than a month after the twenty monkeys were started they could pick 800 pounds of seed cot­ ton a day. They picked In weather when negroes would not have picked, and always a cleaner grade of cotton. Tbe cost of picking was, of course; in­ finitely less. This first experiment proved to Mr. Mangum that monkeys could be used with great success as cotton pickers. So, In June, 1898, he gave an order for 500 monkeys of the same breed to an exporter of monkeys from Africa, with the understanding that the greater part Of there were to be females. About tbe first of September of this year tbe new batch of monkeys arrived, and tbe ser­ vices of the old trainer were again en­ gaged to train the new lot But this was not such an easy task as was at first Imagined, for many of the mon­ keys were wild and untamable at first Finally, with the aid of tbe twenty old monkeys, who were of great assistance, and a great deal of harsh punishment and of reward, tbe new gang of mon­ lived lot Tbe famous Carlotta Grlsl is send abroad in such a manner that they living now at tbe age of 77, aud one of are not likely to be injured, no matter tbe ballet dancers at die Operg In Paris how rough the handling may be to Is TO; but be Is a man.

Ana if there is a soul on earth that has suffered as I have, they are certainly deserving of much pity. Nearly two years ago I began to be troubled with Indigestion. Soon my bowels began bothering me. Occasion­ ally I would have severe Headache and Dizzy spells. My appetite grad­ ually left me so that nothing seemed to relish. Doctors said I had inflam­ mation of the mucous membrane of the Stomach. My condition wa* such that it affected my Heart, and frequently I would fall helpless to' the ground. About a year ago I was obliged to quit work of any kind and was at times unable to even walk across the street, or stoop over on account of my heart trouble and dizziness. I bought various prepartions recommended for my troubles, but continued to grow worse. Four weeks ago I heard what Drake’s Dyspepsia Cure and Nerve A Restorer was doing for cases similar to my own: I immediately procured a package from John J. Orr of Tecum­ seh; after using it three weeks 1 began doing some work, and last week, which was the fourth week I had taken _ the treatment, I built fence nearly every day. Wordscan not express my grat_ itude for what this treatment has done for me, and I wish every sufferer in the world knew of its wonderful cura­ tive power. Yours very truly, C. M.

Ratifications exchanged..April 11 The formal exchange ot ratifications-of the peace treaty took place at the White House Tuesday afternoon. Ambassador Cambon of France acting for Spain. This formal recognition that the war is ended and that the United States and Spain are again on terms of peace, occurred just one year from the day when I'residcnt Mc­ Kinley recugnized that diplomatic consid­ eration of*the Cuban question had failed aud that war was inevitable. It was on April 11;, 1898, that President McKinley sent his war message to CongresH. saying that he had exhausted diplo­ matic efforts and asking Oongress to clothe him with the war power. War was not declared until April 21, but the end of peaceful relations between the United States qnd Spain was on April 11, 1898. and the return to a recognition of peacefu) relations occurred on the first anniversary of that day, making the break between the two nations just one year. At ,3:28 o’clock Secretary Hay attached his signature to the Spanish copy of the treaty and M. Cambon his to the copy for the United States. The official seals were affixed at 3:35 o’clock, completing the cer­ emony. The President’s proclamation an­ nouncing the exchange of ratification*, omitting the text of the treaty, which is quoted In full, is as follows: Whereas. A treaty of peace between the United States of America ami her iuaje«y the Queen Regent of Sputa. In the name of her august son, Don Alfonso XU!., was con­ cluded and signed by the respective plenipo­ tentiaries a< Paris on the 10th day of De­ cember, 1888, the original of which conven­ tion, belhg tn the English and Spanish lan­ guages, Is word for word as follows: • • • “Whereas, The said convention has been duly ratified on both parts, aud the ratifi­ cation of the two governments were ex'changed tn the city of Washington on the eleventh day of April, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine. Now, therefore, be it known tlmt , I, William McKiuleyf President of the United States of America, have caused the said convention to be made public, to the end that the same and every article aud clause thereof may be observed and fulfilled with good faith by the United States and the citizens thereof. x , in witness whereof 1 have hereufrto.set my ham! and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed* Done at the city of Washington the eleventh day of April, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred aud ninety-nine, and the Independence of the United States the one hundred ami twen­ ty-third. WILLIAM M’KINLEY. By the I’residcnt: JOHN HAY, Secretary^of State. The ceremony of exchanging the copies of the treaty took place in the President’* office, which is the room between the cab­ inet nnd the "war room” on the south front of the executive mansion. There were no formal apccches, the President merely remarking to Ambassador Cambon that the prodnmation of peace would now be issued. The Secretary-of State nnd most of the memliers of the cabinet were present, but the only representative of Spanish interwere Ambassador Cambon and First Secretary Thiebault of the French emhr- -y. Spain has informed this Govcrnmi.it that she will speedily resume diplo­ matic relations with’ the United States, and we shall return the compliment. After one year of a condition of war, in xvhieh the actual hostilities were con­ fined to 112 days, the United States is again nt jieace with Spain, ami the mur­ der of the Maine’s crew has been avenged.

The trouble, according to a presa dispatch, was precipitated by a drunken colored miner, who shut another mmer and then ran wildly thrown the streets discharging hi* revolver in ail direction*.

One hundred drpnty aheriffs were called into the Floe­ ham anti Penwell mining district* to pro­ tect several families cf negroeOwbo were endeavoring td load their household effect* preparatory to leaving for Iowa and were Seiag prevented by negro guards armed with rifles. The armed men claimed goods the negroes were moving were com­ pany property. The deputies guarded the » uegrqe» while they loaded their good* in wagons, conveyed them to railroad care, and packed them for shipment. The negroes, their wives and children, were then marched to Union Miners’ hall, where they were fed and cared for by white union miners and giveh ample pro­ tection by a guard of fifty deputy sheriffs, it being feared that negroes who did not wish them to leave Pana would interfere aud attempt forcibly to prevent their de­ parture. During the night, while deputies were guarding the negroes in the Penwell dis­ trict, they were fired upon by unknown persons, supposed to have been negroes and private guards at the Penwell mine, and fully 200 shot* were exchanged. The firing greatly terrorized the residents of that wetion of the dty, who appealed to Chief Deputy Cbeeney for protection. Deputy Cbeeney thereupon sent a special detail of deputies armed with Springfield rifles, who patrolled all street* nnd *ood succeeded in restoring qtxiet.

Forai&F Justice Too Feeble to Fight Off Disease. In the death of Stephen J. Field, for­ merly a justice of the United States Su­ preme Court the country loses theiaat of the great jurist* of a previous genera­ tion and another of the four brothers who became famous, each In his own way. Justice Field’s death had been looked for for two years or more, but It came to Washington as a surprise, because it was not known that his condition bad reached a critical JUSTICE FIELD. stage. He had been living a quiet life ut his home since quitting the bench Dec. 4, 1897. His retirement from that high po­ sition was due to old age and feebleness, and even before leaving ti»e Supreme Court his condition bad been alarming, but after his return to private life he drop­ ped out of public notice. His constitution, already impaired by old age and kidney troubles, was still fur­ ther weakened by an attack of grip some months ago. He took another slight cold about two week* ago, and he gradually became worse. His vitality had been sapped by* his former sickness, and he steadily grew weaker until the end came. During his term of more than a third of a century Mr. Field was concerned In some of the most important cases ever passed upon by the Supreme Court. Among the prominent decisions was the famous test oath case, in which he gave the casting vote and wrote the opinion of the court annulling the validity of the “ironclad” oath. His dissenting opinions in the confiscation cases, the legal tender cases, and in the New Orleans slaughter house case attracted the widest attention. BANQUET. Gov. Koo*cvclt and Others Make Stir­ ring Speeches. Three thousand fierson* greeted and cheered the speakers nt the Hamilton Club's Apisnnuttox day banquet in Chi­ cago, but Gov. Roosevelt was the star. He. Postmaster General Smith. Congress­ man Settle of Kentucky and Gem John C. Black of Illinois were the speakers. Gov. Roosevelt's practical patriotism brought applause again aud again. His plea was for active Americanism nnd not the "doctrine of the love of ignoble peace.” He aroused enthusiasm by de­ claring that “a great nation can no more lead a cloistered life than can a great map,” and then,’in stirring senteue»*x, he proceeded to au advocacy of wide-awake nationalism. The audience was keyed up to a high pitch by the si>eeehes of Gov. Roosevelt and Postmaster General Smith, who spoke .on •'The Union," nud by Geu. John Black, who began the oratory with a tribute to Grant. This was followed by a eulogy of Boln-rt E. Iah - by Congress­ man Settle. , " THINK HE SUICIDED.

When Fern was found dead in his store, a mask in one hand, a Imuch of hair in the other, hU pockejh turned inside out, the empty money drawer, pistol, cane and Fern’s battered hat lying on the floor, the police saw nothing in the ease but mur­ der and robbery.

But when people tfre separated. some being to the easCor the west of others, the simplicity of the answer to the ques­ tion, What time Is It? is by no means so apparent. Indeed. confusion has so often arisen ■in consequence of the difference be­ tween clocks, say, at New York and Chicago, that it Ims heen found decid­ edly advantageous to divide the United States into time districts, each district differing from the adjoining one by just one hour of time. Thus In the United States* to-day there are Eastern time tcoaresiKindlug to the seventy-fifth mer­ idian of longitude west from Green­ wich). Central time (corresponding to the ninetieth meridian west from Greenwich). Mountain time correspond­ ing to the one hundred and fifth merid­ ian west from Greenwich), nnd West­ ern time (corresponding to the one hun­ dred aud twentieth meridian west from Greenwich). . Owing to this simple arrangement It therefore follows that when it is high noon in Eastern time at New York, for instance it is 11 o’clock in Central time at Chicago. 10 o'clock in Mountain time at Denver, nnd 9 o'clock In Western time nt San Francisco. This division of time, though not astronomically cor­ rect. is sufficiently so for all practical purposes. Since the adoption of Stand­ ard time, as these times into which the mainland of the United States is divid­ ed are called.- the dominion of the coun­ try has been extended. It now com­ prises islands tn the Atlantic ocean aud islands in the Pacific ocean. Havana, most people have the Idea, lies to the eastward and southward of New York. Instead, it Is situated nearly south of Key West, about midway between Eastern aud Central times. Undoubt­ edly Eastern time will be the time to which Cuban clocks will eventually be San Juan is situated In longitude GO degrees 7 minutes 28 seconds west This reduced from arc to time by divid­ ing by 15 gives four hours 24 minutes and 30 seconds. Here again, perhaps. Eastern time will be adopted when trade between these West India Isl­ ands and the ports along the Atlantic seaboard has increased to the great volume which is sure to come with peace ami prosperity.

In order that the civil day may have the same number or date the world around the leading na­ tions have agreed to use the date of the days as-they begin on the one hundred and eightieth meridian. Thus with every place its dates are counted. from midnight to midnight, and each day takes the same date as that given to the latest new day on the one hundred and eightieth merid­ ian. We may think of the new date as traveling westward with the midnight The date Is given to each place as soon as the midnight reaches it When midnight again occurs in the one hun­ dred nnd eightieth meridian another date begins its journey around the earth. . When vessels cross the one hundred ami eightieth meridian they either drop a day or add one to the calendar. As the new date begins on that line, a vessel sailing eastward across the line goes out of the area baring the new (date and must therefore go back a day. Sailing westward the vessel enters the area having a new day and must there­ fore add a day to the calendar. Thus, The other night about 10 o’clock James BIG MORTARS FOR DEFENSE.

In the autumn holiday time friends in the south, who happened to be visiting Scotland, were Inylted to stop at Mount Morven on their way to the Highlands; and were accustomed to meet the neigh­ bors of the Linleys at dinner on their ar­ rival. The time for this yearly festival had now come round again: the guests •were in the house: nnd Mr. and Mra. Lin­ ley w'ere occupied in making their ar­ rangements for the dinner party. Sydney’s agitation nt the prospect of meeting the ladies In the drawing room added a charm of its own to the flush on her face. Shyly following, instead of •leading her little companion into the room, she presented such a charming- appear­ ance of youth and beauty that the 'ladles paused in their talk to look at her. Some few admired Kitty's governess with gen•erous interest: the greater number doubt­ ed Mrs. Linley's prudence in engaging a girl so very pretty abd so very young. Wheu the gentlemen came in from the dinner table, Sydney was composed ■enough to admire tbe brilliant scene, and to wonder again, as she had wondered al­ ready, what Mr. .Linley would say to her •new dress. He looked at her with a momentary Cer-▼or of interest and admiration which -made Sydney gratefully and guiltlessly at­ tached to him, tremble1 with pleasure; he even stepped forward, as if to approach her. checked himself, and went back again among his guests. The one neglected per­ son whom he never even locked at again, was tha poor girl to whom his approval -was tbe‘breath, of her life. Friendly Mrs. MacEdwin touched her arm. "My dear, you are losing your pret­ ty color. Are you overcome by the heat? .■Shall I take you into the next room?” Sydney expressed her sincere sense of the lady’s kindness. Her commonplace excuse was a true excuse—she had a head­ ache; and she asked leave to retire to her ■room. Approaching the door, there she found herself face to face with Mr. Linley. He had just been giving directions to one of the servants, nnd was re-entering the ■drawing room. She stopped, trembling and cold; but, in the very intensity of her wretchedness, she found courage enough 'to speak to him. “You seem to avoid me, Mr. Linley," she began, speaking with an air of formal respect, nnd keeping her eyes on the ground. "I hope—" she hesitated, and desperately looked at him—"I hope I ■haven’t done anything to offend you?" In her knowledge of him, up to that miserable eveqdng, he constantly spoke to her with a smile. She had never yet seen him so serious and so inattentive as he was now. His eyes, wandering round the room, rested on Mrs. Linley—brilliant and beautiful, and laughing gayly. Why was he looking at his wife with plain signs of embarrassment in his fa.ee? Sydney pite­ ously’persisted in repeating her innocent question: "I hope I haven’t done anything to offend you?" “My dear child, it is impossible that you should offend me: you have misunderstood and mistaken me. Don’t suppose—pray don't suppose that I am changed or can ever be changed toward you.” He cm.phasised the kind Intention which these words revealed by giving her his hand. But the next moment he drew back. There was no disguising it, be drew back’ as if he wished to get away from her. She noticed that bis lips were firmly clos­ ed and his eyebrows-knit ted in a frown; he looked like a man who was forcing himself to submit to some hard necessity that he hated or feared. Sydney left tbe room in despair. He had denied in the. plainest and kindest terms that he was changed toward her, Was that not enough? It was nothing •like enough. The facts were there to speak for themselves: he was an altered man: anxiety, sorrow, remorse—one or the other seemed to have got possession of him. .Judging by Mrs. Linley's gayety of manner, his wife cOuld not possibly have been taken into his confidence. What did it menu? Oh, tbe useless, hopeless question! And yet. again and -again she asked herself: What did it mean? The dinner party came to an end; the neighbors had taker their departure; and the ladies at Mount Morven had retired for the night. On the way to her room Mrs. Presty knocked at her daughter’s door.

I mentioned it to Herbert to the course of the evening. He was excessively rude. He said. Tell Mrs. MacEdwin to mind her own business." "What has Mrs. MacEdwin to do with dt?" asked Mrf. Linley. “If you will only let me speak, Cath•erine, I shall be happy to explain myself. You saw Mrs. MacEdwin talking to me at the party.

Think over it;-I strongly advise you to think over 1L" Even Mrs. Linley’s good nature declin­ ed to submit to this. “I shall certainly not think over wbat cannot possibly happen,’' she said. "Good night, mamma." Mrs. Presty passed through the dress­ ing room on her way out. The way to her own bed chamber led her by the door of Sydney's room. She suddenly stopped; the door was not shut. This wss in itself « suspicions circumstance. A strict sense ■of duty conducted Mrs. Presty next into the room; and even encouraged her to ap­ proach the bed on tiptoe. The bed was empty: the clothes had not been disturbed sdoce it had been made in the morning! If the, house bad not beep full of guests, Mrs. Presty would have raised an alarm. As things were, the-fear of a possible scandal, which the family might have rea­ son to regret, forced her to act with cau­ tion. Meditating in the retirement of her own room, she arrived at a wise and wa'ry decision. Opening the door, by a few inches she placed a chair behind the opening in a position which commanded a view of Sydney’s room. Wherever the gdverness might be, her return to her bed chamber, before the servants were astir in the morning, was a chance to lie counted on. One man in the smoking room appeared to be thoroughly weary of talking poli­ tics. That man was the master of the house. He was the last to retire—fevered by the combined influences of smoke and noise. His mind, oppressed all through the evening, was as ill at ease as ever. Lingering, wakeful, and irritable in the corridor, he stopped at the open door, and admired the peaceful beauty of the garden. Tbe sleepy servant, appointed to attend in the smoking room, asked if he should dose the door. Linley answered: "Go to bed and leave it to me.v Still lingering at the top of the steps, he was tempted by the refreshing coolness of the air. He took the key out of the lock: secured the door after he had passed through it; put tfle key In bis pocket, and went down into the garden. CHAPTER XI. Witt slow steps Linley crossed the lawn: bis mind gloomily absorbed In thoughts which had never before troubled his easy nature; thoughts heavily laden with a burden of self-reproach. Linley entered the shrubbery, because1t happen­ ed to be nearest to him. The instant afterward be was startled by the appearance of a figure emerging into the moonlight from the further end of the shrubbery, and rapidly approach­ ing him. "Who is out so late?" ha asked. A rtry of alarm answered him. The fig­ ure stood still for a moment, nnd then turned back as if to escape him by flight. “Don’t be frightened," he said, ’purely you know my voice?” The figure stood still again. He showed himself in the moonlight, and discovered —Sydney Westerfield. • "You!" be exclaimed. She trembled; the words In which she answered him were words in fragments. “The garden was so quiet and pretty— I thought there would be no harm—please let me go back—I’m afraid I shall be shut out----- ’’ She tried to pass him. “My poor child,” he said, "what is there to be frlghtemd about? I have been tempted out by the, lovely night, like you. Take my arm. It is so close in here among the trees. If we go back to the lawn, the air will come to you freely." She took his arm; he could 'feel her heart throbbing against 1L Kindly silent, he led her back to the open space. Some garden chairs were placed here and there; he suggested that she should rest for awhile. "I'm afrnld I shall be shut out," she repeated. "Pray let me go back.” He yielded at once to tije wish that she expressed. "You must let me take you back,” he explained. "They are all asleep at the house by this time. No! no! don’t be frightened again. I have got tbe key of the door. The moment I have opened it, you shall go in by yourself.” She looked at him gratefully. "You are not offended with me now, Mr. Linley,” she said. "You are like your kind self again.” They ascended tbe steps which led to the door. Linley took the key from his pocket. It acted perfectly in drawing back the lock: but the door, when he push­ ed it, resisted him. He put his shoulder against it, nnd exerted his strength help­ ed by his weight. The door remained im­ movable. Had one of the servants—sitting up later than .usual after the party, and not aware that Mr. lanley bad gone into the garden—noticed the door, and carefully fastened the bolts on the inner side? That was exactly what had happened. “Can't we make them ht-arxos?". asked Sydney. -^ * s*S “Quite impossible. Besides—” He was about to remind her of the evil construc­ tion which might be placed on their ap­ pearance together, returning from the gnrden nt an advanced hour of the night; out her innocence pleaded with him to be si­ lent. He only said, "You forget that we all sleep at the top of our old castle. There is no knocker to the door, and no bell that rings upstairs. Come to the summer house. In an hour or two more we shall see the sun rise.” ■ As a mark of respect on her part, she offered the armchai*, to him; it was the one comfortable seat in the neglected place. He insisted that she should take it; and searching the summer house, found a wooden, stool for himself. “What should I have done,” she wondered, "if I had been shut out of tbe house by myself?” Her eyes rested on him timidly; there was some thought in her which she shrank from expressing. She only said: “I wish I knew bow to be worthy of your kind­ ness.” Her voice warned him that she was struggling with strong emotion. Linley treated her like a child: he smiled, and patted her on the shoulder. "Nonsense!" he sai«l gayly. "There is no merit in be­ ing kind to my good little governess." She took that comforting hand—It was n harmless impulse that she was unable to resist—she bent over It, and kissed it gratefully. He drew hia band away from her as if the soft touch of her lips had been fire that burned it. "Oh,” she cried, “have I done wrongT* “No, my dear—no, no." There was an embarrassment In bis manner, the inevitable result of his fear ot himself if he faltered In the resolute exercise of self-restraint, which was per­ fectly Incomprehensible to Sydney. Com­ pletely misunderstanding him, she thought he was reminding her of the dis­ tance that separated them in social rank. A fit of hysterical sobbing burst its way she started to her feet, and ran out ot tbe summer houae. Alarmed aud distrpsaed, he followed her Instantly. She was leaning against the pedestal of a statue in the garden, panting, shudder­ ing,^ sight to touch the heart of a far less sensitive man than the man who now approached her. “Sydney!” he said. “Dear Uttle Sydney?" She tried to speak to trim in return. Breath and strength failed her together: she would have fallen if he had npt caught her in hia arms. Her bead sank faintly backward on his breast. He looked at the poor little tortured face, turned up toward him in tbe lovely moon­ light. Again and again he bad honorably restrained himself—he was human; be was a man—in Tine mad moment It was done, hotly, passionately done—he kissed her. For the first time In her maiden life a man’s lips touched her lips. All that had been perplexing nnd strange, all that bad been innocently wonderful to herself in tbe feeling that bound Sydney to her first friend, was a mystery no more. Love lift­ ed its veil, nature revealed its secrets, in the one supreme monfent of that kiss. She threw her arms round his neck with a low cry of delight—and returned his kiss.' “Sydney," he whispered, "I love you!" She heard him in rapturous silence. Her kiss had answered for her. At this crisis in their lives they were saved by an acci­ dent; a poor little common accident that happens every day. The spring in the bracelet that Sydney wore gave way as she held him to her; the bright trinket fell on the grass at their feet. The man never noticed it. The woman saw her pretty or­ nament as it dropped from her arm—saw, and remembered Mrs. Linley’s gift. Cold and pale—with horror of herself confessed In tlje action, simple as it was— she drew.back from him to dead silence. He was astounded. In tones that trem­ bled with agitation, he said to her: “Are you ill?" “Shameless and wicked,*' she answered. "Not ill.” She pointed to the bracelet on the grass. ‘Take it up; I am not fit to touch it Look on the inner side.” He "remembered the inscription: “To Sydney Westerfield, with Catherine Lin­ ley's love’” ’His head sank on his breast: he understood her at last. -“Yon despise me,’’ he saids "and I deserve it." "No; I. despise myself. I have lived among vile people; and I am vile like them.” She moved away a few. steps with u heavy sigh. "Kitty,” she said to herself. "Poor Tittle Kitty!” He followed her. “Why are you think­ ing of the child,” he asked, “at such a tinio as this?" She replied without returning or look­ ing round; distrust of herself had Inspired her with terror of Linley from the time when the bracelet bad dropped on the grass. . “I cat? make but one atonement,” she said. “We must see each other no more. I must say good-by to Kitty—I must go. Help me to submit to my bardlet—I must KO." “I must ask you to submit to a sacrifice of your own feelings," he began. "When I kept* away from you in the drawing room last night—when my strange conduct made you fear that you had offended me —I was trying to remember what I owed to my good wife. I have been thinking of her again. We must spare her a dis­ covery too terrible to be endured, while her attention is claimed by the guests who are now in the house, in a week’s time they will leave us. Will you consent to keep up appearances? Will you live with us ns usual, until we are left by our­ selves?” “It shall be done, Mr. Linley. I only ask one favor of you. My worst enemy is my own miserable, wicked heart. Oh, don't you understand me? 1 am ashamed to look at you.” Not a won! more passed between them until the unbarring of doors was heard in the stillness of the morning, and the smdee began to rise from the kitchen chimney. Then he returned and sj»oke to her. "You can get back into the bouse." he said. “Go up by the front stairs, nnd you will not meet tbe servants nt this early hour. If they do see you, you have your cloak on; they will think you have been in the garden earlier than usual. As you piu« the upper door draw back the bolts quietly, nnd I can let myself in." . She bent her head in silence. lie looked after her as sbe hastened away from him over the lawn: conscious of admiring her, conscious of more than he dared realize to himself. With his^ense of the duty he ow.“d to his wife penitently present to his miqd, the memory of that fatal kiss still left its vivid impression on him. “What a scoundrel I am!" he said to himself ns •he stood alone in tbe summer house, look­ ing at the chair which she had just left, CHAPTER XII. On the evening of Monday in the new week, the last of the visitor* had left Mount Morven. The next day was Kitty’s birthday, and while they were all in the breakfast room prerenting their gifts to the child Linley toox occasion to whisper to Sydney: “Meet me in the shrubbery in half an hour." Incapable of bearing what passed be­ twren them, Mrs. Presty could see that a secret understanding united her son-in­ law and the governess. She beckoned Randal to join her at the further end of the room. "I want you to do me a favor," she be­ gan. “Observe Alisa Westerfield and your brother. Look at them now." Randal obeyed. “What is there to look at?” he inquired. “They are talking confidentially; talk­ ing so that Mrs. Linley can't hear them. Look again. Randal fixed bis eyes on Mrs. Presty, with an expression which showed his dis­ like of that lady a little too plainly. A few moments later all except Mrs. Presty and Randal went into the gnrdeu. “My daughter’s married life is a wreck," she burst out. pointing theatrically to the door by which Linley and Sydney Wester­ field had retired. “And Catherine has the vile creature whom your brother pick­ ed up to London to thank for it! Now do yon understand me?" “Less than ever," Randal answered, “nnless you have taken leave of your senses." They were both now sitting with their backs turned to the entrance from the li­ brary to the drawing room. “I won’t trouble you with my own im­ pressions,” Mrs. Presty went on: “I will be careful only to mention what I have seen and beard. If you refuse to believe me I refer you to the guilty persons them­ selves." She had just got to the end of those in­ troductory words, when Mrs. Linley re­ turned, by way of the library, to fetch a forgotten parasol. She advanced a step and took tbe parasol from tbe table. Hear­ ing what Rands! »aid, she paused, won­ dering at the strange allusion to her bus­ band. ■ • NUMEROUS LETTERS ON EVERY LAWTON’S FORCES TAKE AN“Yes.” said Mrs. Presty to Randal: "I CONCEIVABLE SUBJECT.

A friend whom good fortune has taken to Cairo for the season writes to tell me of the curious occurrence that accompanied the arrival of the great Mohammedan fast of Ramadan u few weeks ago. The pious Moslem starts to afflict himselt when the new moon appears. While awaiting the exact moment the grand kadi holds a big re­ ception and men are sent to the highest minarets of the mosques to announce tbe appearance of the moon and com­ mencement of the fast. This year the new moon was first seen from Asslout, and the news was sent to Cairo over the telegraph wires. Thereupon the fast was Inaugurated by tbe beating of drums, the firing of salutes from the citadel and the dispatch of further role­ grams all over the country to announce the tidings. It is very curious that so conservative a faith as Mohammedanisb should accept the good services of a modern invention like electricity. Are Pennies Unlucky? A New Orleans paper the other day gave an account of a conductor on one of tbe street cars who refused to accept five coppers as fare from a passenger. Why are conductors so averse to Re­ ceiving pennies? The. principal reason is that pennies will not be taken from the men nt the auditor's office. Con­ ductors cannot turn them in as part of their receipts. Many colored persons consider pen­ nies unlucky.

Poets are the most voluminous of the contributors to the White House. They break loose without much provocation and flood the executive mansion with their effusions. The sinking of the Maine was a favorite theme with the sentimental. The battie of San Juan Hill, the sinking of Cervera's fleet. Dewey's achievements in the Philippines, in fact, nearly every incident of the war with Spain and the events which have followed have supplied subjects for barrels of rhyme. The news­ paper offices cannot be induced to publish these supposed gems, and they are prompt­ ly worked off on the White House, the would-be poet receiving a formal note say­ ing that his production has been received. The note reads something like this: “The President directs me to say your poem has been received, etc.” This is fuel to the fire, as the poet supposes the President has really seen his masterpiece. He ex­ hibits the letter to bis friends as an evi­ dence of the appreciation felt in high quarters for his work and immediotely composes more poetry for White House edification. Next to the poets come the cranks; then the importuner for money or recognition; then school children whose teachers sug­ gest that they write compositions on cer­ tain subjects and send them to the White House. Included in the crtfnk list are the men and women who knew exactly bow Spain could be whipped; Mil about the proper medical attention for our troojis; what our foreign policy should be, etc.; those who have boons which will benefit all mankind, and the person who hears that the President is sick and sends a decoction which, he guarantees will bring about a speedy cure. Several Western papers some time ago published a story that the President would have to give up smoking cigars aud turn to the pipe. In consequence a total of 400 or 500 different kinds of pipes were sent to the White House. The corncob was hewn into many pipe shapes and sent to the President to enjoy. A man in Eu­ rope who heard the story sent a box of curious clay pipes. The variety of pipes received was w'onderful. These things all go into the storeroom of the executive mansion. Ignorant, white and colore<L people ad­ dress Uncle Sam at the White House. They believe such a man really exists and that he presides at the White House and over the destinies of the nation.

Twelve persons are known to have been Victims of the overflow caused by the ice in the Yellowstone river below Glendive, Mont., Friday night. The Yellowstone above brok? up last week, and great ice floes have been passing down. When they reached Glendive Friday afternoon, tbe Ice there had not broken up, and they were piled up against the bridge. The water rose thirty feet in one hour, nnd the Ice piled up against the bridge mountain, before the first and second spans gave way, and were carried down the stream on the surface of the ice. The two spans were GOO feet long, 18 feet wide and 40 feet to the crown, and not until the bend in the river was reached, two miles below be city, did they break up and sink. The recent Chinook has made raging torrents out of most of the rivers to Mon­ tana, in many cases breaking all records. The Yellowstone has caused the greatest loss to life and property. Ice jams have backed the water up and great damage has been done. At Miles City the ice jam­ med nt the mouth of Tongue river, forcing the water back until the entire south side of the city was under water. Seventy-five houses had to be abandoned, the people having to be rescued to boats, so quick had been the rise of water. Later in the afternoon the water broke over the track into Main street, which ran a torrent Hundreds of head of Jive stock have been swept away. tl Z- i '■ Bullock County, Ala., may be said to be strongly Democratic.

Few realise the amount of heat that goes down Into a well of water through the platform that surrounds the pump. It can be partially realized by going up Into a close attic under tbe roof some hot day. As a matter of fact closed air spaces beneath Ward­ ing that is exposed to the bright sun become fearfully heated, and In tbe case of wells this heat is soon transmit­ ted to the water. A double platform with an air space between will help greatly, but best of all fs a summer bouse, or regular closed well house, built over the platform, and this in turn covered with vines. Not only will such i Utile bouse serve an excellent pur­ BWUSS OVKR THE WELL. pose in keeping the well cool, but it will be nn ornament to the place as well, and. as a “summer house,” may be a most agreeable place to spend an hour on a hot day. Woodbine is one of the best vines to use in covering such a house, as It provides abundant shade very quickly and is hardy even Irt the coldest climates. A few little things like this done aliout the farm each year will soon greatly Improve the looks of the farm surroundings, and will decid­ edly increase the comforts of farm life. A suggestion-for such a house is given herewith.’ Woodchoppinsr in Sprinjr. It is too hard work to do much chop­ ping after warm weather comes, while In zero weather the exercise of swing­ ing the ax and bringing down the tree is rather a delight than otherwise. But after the sap starts in the trees it Is easier to chop or split them than in midwinter. A very knotty and tough tree may therefore be left standing un­ til nature has filled It full of sap, though the wood will dry out slowly. If beech wood is cut while full of sap it must be kept under shelter, for if ex­ posed to rains water will soak In as fast as tbe sap dries out. Spring is the worst time of year.to cut wood and have it kept wet, and the abundance of sap It contains is probably the rea­ son. Most timber will keep best if cut in July or August while the tree is In leaf. The leaves continue to evaporate moisture, after the tree is down, and this soon makes the wood dry. Cutting Potatoes Made Easy. The preparation of no farm seed causes more trouble than that of the potato crop. It is a slow, tedious task and must be done by band. This is usually done by placing the potato upon a board and cutting it in the size desired. Now this task may be great­ ly alleviated by the use of a device that Js not new.

It sometimes happens that the farmer finds even before hte orchard gets to bearing that a large part of the trees ary of varieties that will not give him much profit Regrafting to better sorts is a very laborious and expensive proc­ ess if the trees have grown to nearly bearing size, because so many grafts must be set to make an even bead. A few sprouts may be left below tbe grafts to draw the sap, but they must be cut away as soon as the grafts get to growing. A better way is to take a few years to do the grafting, putting in two or three grafts each spring, un­ til the entire bead is changed.

It might have been distrust, or it might have been unreason­ ing fear—she hesitated on tbe point of ap­ proaching him. “I have something to say, Catherine, which I am afraid will distress you.” His voice faltered, bis eyes rested on her—then looked away again.

She instantly controlled her­ self and signed to him to keep back. “Don't touch me!" she said. “You come ■from Miss Westerfield!"

Miss Westerfield offers the one atonement in her power, while she is still innocent of baring wronged you—except in thought." "Is that all?" Mrs. Linley asked. “It rests with you," he replied, “to say if there is any other sacrifice of herself which will be more acceptable to you." "Let me understand first what the sac­ rifice means. Does she make any condi­ tions?" "She has positively forbidden me to make conditions." “And goes out into tbe world, helpless and friendless?" Even under the terrible trial that wrung her, the nobility of the woman’s nature spoke in the next words. "Give me time to think of what you have said." she pleaded. “I have led a happy life; I am not used to suffer oh I am suffering now." In the minute that followed, her changing color revealed a struggle with herself. “Miss Westerfield is innocent of having wronged me, except In thought," Mrs. Linley resumed. "She might have deceiv­ ed me—she had not deceived me. I owe it to her to remember that She shall go, but not helpless, and not friendless. Oh, my husband, has she taken your love from me?" “Judge for yourself, Catherine, if there is no proof of my love for you in what I have resisted, and no remembrance of all that I owe to you In what I have con­ fessed." .

Then plant such seeds, and if the soil Is warm the plants will be up as quickly as the weeds. Onion seed may be treated the same way. Some kinds of plants which come up very small and are not con­ spicuous can be cultivated quite near to the rows by dropping a few radish seed In the row where the more valu­ able crop Is grown. The radish will show sooner than almost any other gar­ den plant, and what radish are thus grown can be pulled out and used by the time the other crop can be seen to hoe closely to It There are many jobs that a farmer can do for himself, If. ho only makes, the attempt One of these, says tbe American Agriculturist, Is the setting of the tires on the wheels of his ve­ hicles. The usual charges at a shop for one wheel will exceed the cost to the farmer of setting all four, and the time spent In hauling them to’and from the shop, to say nothing of the trouble and vexation of unsatisfactory work or ruined wheels. Is far greater than it would be to do the work himself. To do this,. It requires an, outlay of only the cost of a metal trough and linseed oil, about half a gallon to a set of There is much difference in the wheels, though more than enough to breadth, else and color of leaf in young grain as it comes up. It is partly de­ pendent on the character of the seed, as the plant sends up Its first leaves mainly from the starchy matter which encloses the germ and which the germ uses until It Is able to put .forth roots Into the soil Barley being larger and heavier than oats has always a brtKder leaf, though If oats are sown on rich land and somewhat late they will come up with a leaf that looks like barley. But this rank growth early Is not re­ garded favorably by the cultivator, for he knows that It Is liable to be follow­ ed by rust of stalk or gralp later In the season. Harrowing grain that comes up with too small and thin a leaf bruis­ es these first leaves, and as It also stimulates root growth It causes the plant to send up new shoots with much WHEEL IN POSITION m BETTING. broader leaves. This dries out the soil, do the work will be needed, as tbe thus preventing the excessive growth later that Invites rust trough, while boiling, must be filled so as to cover the felloes. This trough (a) can be made of gal­ vanised Iron, by a tinner. Set .It on brick or stone In such a why that a fire can be built and kept up under It. Put in enough oil to cover the felloes, and let come to a bolt You are now ready to put In the wheels. The way this Is done Is shown so plainly In the illus­ tration that description Is unnecessary. ,To prepare the wheels, let them soak in water until the tires are tight, wash­ ing out all the mud and dirt possible. After being placed In the oil, the wheel should be slowly turned to prevent charring. The length of time required to boll a wheel depends on Its condi­ tion, as does the amount of oil It takes for a set Two sets of wheels can be easily set In half a day. This job will prove far more satisfactory than one performed by a blacksmith, who, often on account of the dry wood swelling after he has shrunk the tire, ruins wheel by dishing It Breeding Turkeys. The best results In growing turkeys are from yearling bens bred to a gob­ bler two years old, and three would be still better. Tbe young hen will lay more eggs the first year than she will In any year after, and If she mates with a gobble- two years or over the young turks will be active and vigor­ ous. Watch tbe hen turkey carefully, and remove her first eggs as soon as laid, lest they become chilled. Two and sometimes three settings of turkey eggs must be taken from the young turkeys and set under common bens before the hen turkey will sit steadily herself. Tbe hen turkey must be con­ fined mornings when she bas young chicks, pr she will draggle them through the wet grass and thus kill them. I send sketch of barn bent.

Thirty thousand enthusiastic people stood along the water front at North.riv­ er, at New York, and wildly greeted {be returned cruiser Ra­ leigh; tbe United States battleship of Dewey's fleet which has the distinction of haring fired the first shot on the morning of May 1 in Manila harbor. The hero ship was accompancapt. hl ax. led.by the two cap­ tured Spanish prizes, the Sandoval and the Alvarado. New York forgot church and defied a rainstorm to honor the vanguard of Dewey's fighting ships and men. Salvos brwtbrwed wU»Un ott.en SU­ er that earned steam on water 6F land, ponderous salutes from ahote guns and field batteries along the Hudson, mingled with cheers from thousands upon thou­ sands of Americans, attended tbe cruiser from the time she weighed anchor till the end of her triumphal trip to and from Grant's tomb. Grim in her was paint and bristling with her gun*, the cruiser which tossed the first shell of the battle of Ma­ nila bay last May day was bombarded by patriotic welcomes. Flags fluttered In the rain from every flagstaff in the city and thousands waited dinnerless beneath um­ brellas in Riverside park for a chance to cheer the fighting Raleigh and Dewey's heroes. Overdue twenty-four hours, -the welcome was none the less hearty—so OFFERS SON AS SACRIFICE. Farmer Emulates Patriarch Abra­ ham. Golaa Kwn Farther. With mind erased by constant medita­ tion upon the Lord's awful command to Abraham to sacrifice hi* sou Isaac, Abel Dykstra, a fanner living two miles east of $onth Holland, III., on Wednesday killed his 5-year-old boy, Peter, by nearly severing bis head with a corn knife. The terrible deed was committed in the pres­ ence of his wife, Mrs. Sophie Dykstra, who war standing in the door of tbe Dyk­ stra home with her baby in her arms. As the boy fell dead in the freshly plowed field, Mrs. Dykstra fled to tbe borne of Jitr father, Cornelius Van Drunnen, near­ ly a wile away. 'Dykstra, believing that bls duty toward his God had been performed, and fearing tbe wrath of bis fellow'men. mounted a horse and rode to tbe home of John Meeter, five miles distant. He had worked for Meeter twelve years ago. Dykstra told him what be bad done and berged to be forgiven. Meeter realised that the Wan yag inyqe gpd took him, jo Bogtji Hol­ land, where he "was”turne5 over to Peter De Young, justice of the peace. Later Dykstra was* lodged in tbe Cook County jail. The news of tbe crime spread rap­ idly in the sparsely settled neighborhood about South. Holland, and intense excite­ ment’ prevailed. South Holland is about twenty miles from Chicago, on the Chicago and East­ ern Illinois Railroad, and is inhabited by a colony of industrious Hollanders. Dyk­ stra had always borne a good reputation in the community,, and bad lived for some years upon his farm. Dykstra read the Bible constantly, and kept reading over and over the chapter relating to the com­ mand of the Lord to Abraham to offer up Isaac os a sacrifice. On Sunday night Dykstra told his wife that he was called upon to make n sacrifice for God, Mrs. Dykstra was frightened and on Tuesday evening went to the howc of her mother. Wednesday morning Mrs. Dykstra re­ turn home with tbe children and was met at the door by her husband. * "I must do it this morning," the man called out ns they approached him. "God bas ordered me to do It.’’ Without saying another word. Dykstra made n rush for the boy and seized him by the shoulder. He dragged tbe little fellow to a shed near by and took up the corn knife. "Papa, please don’t hurt me." cried the boy. and he struggle*] to free himself from the man's grasp. Mrs. Dykstra also pleaded with her bushand to spare the child's life, but their entreaties had no effect upon the maniac. Holding tbe boy with his left hand, the crazed man drew the corn knife across the lad's throat. Little Peter ran nearly 100 feet before he fell. He was found lying face downward upon the soft earth, where he had bled to death. w THE V. I. CnribEB BALEIGH. hearty that modest Cnpt. Cogblan and his officers protested against honors they de­ clared should be reserved for Admiral Dewey and proffered to none other. The vessels arrived off Sandy Hook from the east Saturday at midnight, and anchored in the harbor. Although the rain poured in torrents all day Sunday, atrerms of people could be seen hurrying to the river front to witness the triumphal entry of tbe small but distinguished fleet. After passing Grant’s tomb the vessels proceeded slowly down the river and drop­ ped anchor off Thirty-seventh street. Then tbe public was tendered a royal welcome aboard the Raleigh. Between 4,000 and 5,000 people availed themselves of the op­ portunity to board the ship and admire tbe big guns which had done such effec­ tive work in far-off Manila harbor. The warship was uncomfortably crowded, but everybody received a cordial welcome. The crew apparently took great pride in showing visitors over the ship and partic­ ularly In pointing out tbe 5-ioch gun which fired the first shot in the battle of Manila bay. In the forecastle of the cruiser Raleigh are many relics of the battle of Manila bay. One of these Is the head of a Span­ ish sailor, shot clean from the body. Be­ tween the teeth is a small stiletto clinched Id the grip of death. The bead and knife were found floating in the water, and one of tbe Raleigh's sailors dived over the side for It. The ghastly remnant of the battle was hermetically sealed in a big glass of alcohol. . PLANNING TO CRUSH REBELS. General Lawton’. Command Bctnrna to Aid General McArthur. Gen. Lawton's expedition returned tc Manila Monday morning pursuant to or­ ders from Maj. Gen. Otis. Lawton aban­ doned a number of towns and twenty miles of territory along the lake which bad been cleared of Filipinos. The withdrawal of Gen. Lawton from the Laguna de Bay country was not un­ expected by officers of the War Depart­ ment Gen. Scbwan, acting adjutant general, said: “Gen. Otis sent this expe­ dition to southern Luzon for the purpose of destroying any insurgent forces that might be found there, to make a careful reconnoissance and to spread broadcast the recent proclamation of the Philippine commission, setting forth the purposes of this Government with respect to the isl­ ands. I understand that he will release all the prisoners he bas taken, and they will be sent to their homes. By this action ft is hoped that he will prove to the Fili­ pinos that the Americans are not as bar­ barous as the insurgents pretend we are, and that we propose to treat the Fili­ pinos humanely.*’ Dispatches from Manila say that Gen. Lawton thinks It would be necessary for the United States to send 100,000 troops to the Philippine Islands If the natives continued hostile. He said that It was essential to garrison all the cities cap­ tured or that are to be captured In the future operations if the insurrection was to be put down. Gen. Lawton's opinion is given a great deal pf weight among the officers in Washington. They say his wide experience with guerrilla warfare makes him a most capable judge of the situation. _ ____________________ In the embers of a small house at Mine Rock, near Somerville, N.

Liebhauser, druggist A MOTHER S HOPE. Still Think* of Finding Her Box, Who Wo* Stolen Fifteen Year* Ago. The finding of Gerald Lapiner, the kid­ naped Chicago boy, has kindled anew the fires of hope in the breast of Mrs. Lizzie Dickinson of Houghton, Mich. Mrs. Dick­ inson believes that she may yet find her boy. now grown tu manhood, who was stolen fifteen years ago. In 1884 the Dickinsuns were living at Florence, Wia., where Mr. Dickitfson was a mining engineer and superintendent of the mines. One day the boy, Willie, was stolen. He was then '0 years old. The theory was advanced first that the boy had been kidnaped in a spirit of revenge by some of the miners who were identified with a strike. This theory was abandon­ ed later, a search having been made in the meantime of.all the abandoned shafts in the vicinity in which the boy might hare fallen. Almost u year passed before the aid of a detective was called, and then a thorough and organized search for the little fellow was made. The little fortune owned .by the parents was spent in the hum for tho boy by the Baron Fava, the Italian ambassador, Pinkerton detectives.

April 22nd,-ranged from 2 to 4 degrees above the normal, while the average precipitation 0.36 of an inch, was 0.16 below th© normal. The sunshine ’average 50 per* cent of the possible amount. This weather was favorable for wheat, rye and grass; wheat has greened up consider­ ably and now shows plainer than last week that the hard winter and poor snow covering caused much damage. Considerable wheat was winter-killed and in the southern counties farmers are sowing oats on such wheat land, while others are plowing it up for dther crops. In the four southern tiers of counties warm rains are much needed to brighten up and improve wheat, grass and clover seeding. In many of the northern counties the soil is so wet that it prevents plowing and field work. Sqow has disappeared in nearly all portions of the state, although some remains In the woodand in sheltered places In portions ot the upper peninsula and in some of the interior northern counties. Rye is in generally good condition and ho>suffered little during the winter. Pas­ tures are affording fodder in the ex­ treme southern part of the state.1’ ‘ ‘Clover seeding is progressing quite rapidly. Plowing is well advanced in the southern half of the state and has been quite generally started in the northern counties and in portions of the upper peninsula. Oat seeding is well advanced in the southern counties and will become general in the central and northern counties under favorable conditions during the coming week. In the southern counties early potato planting and garden work has Begun. A-large majority of correspondents unite in saying that tbe maple sugar yields have been very light.” HISTORY OFXiTaP YEARS. The year 1900 will not be counted among the leap years. The year is 365 days, five hours and forty-nine minutes long; eleven minulCe are taken every year to make the year 3654 days long, and every fourth year we have an extra day. This was Julius Caesar’s arrange­ ment. Where do these eleven minutes come from? They come from the future, and are paid *by omitting a leap year every one hundred years. But if leap ^ear is omitted regularly every one hundred year*, in tbccourae of four hundred years it is found that the eleven minutes taken each year will not only £ave been paid back, but a whole day will have been given up., So Pope Gregory III.,who improved on Caesar’s calendar in 1582, decreed that every fourth centurial year should be a leap year after all. So we bor­ row eleven minutes every year, more than paying our borrowing back by omitting three leap years in three «?euturial years, and square matters by William'*' Pink cured by them. curative powers, he is justified it* giving asffering tarnn vnriou* eomptainte, and i’cau —1...

ARREST Mrs. George smiles with the rest. When the sad features of the case are touched upon she is moved to tears, that trickle down her pale cheeks, but are not ob­ servable to the great mass of spectators. Only once bus her nerve deserted her. That was when the blood and powderstained waistcoat worn by Saxton on the night of the murder was introduced as evi­ dence. . Mrs. George is apparently the leqjt con­ cerned person In the court room. She know* that the penalty upon conviction in tbe first degree is a sent in tbe awful new death chair at Columbus. Tbe thought of it has probably come to her many times during her Jong incarceration, but she is so confident of acquittal that tbe visions of the death chair do not appal her. While the jurors were being examined prior to their acceptance and asked if they had any objection to capital punishment, par­ ticularly where a woman is the victim, stun,- of the spectators turned pityingly to t lie stylish prisoner, but she gave no evidence of a thought that this question concerned ber. According to a correspondent, the people of Canton have made a heroine of Mrs. George. They have paid for her meals during her long imprisonment, which have consisted of the best foods that the best restaurants in town could furnish. In addition there have come fruits and flow­ ers. A local florist -received a letter from a far-off State tbe other day, inclosing money for a bouquet for Mra. George. The prisoner has been visited frequently by some of the society ladies of Canton, who hare encouraged her to look hopeful­ ly into the future. Letters of sympathy have come to her from afar, from stran­ gers who had read of ber case in the pa­ pers. Mra. George has really been a boarder, and not a prisoner, in Sheriff Zaiser's care. Ordinarily Mrs. George is bright and cheerful and in a happy conver­ sational mood. Nearly every day, before and after court, she receives callers and her merry laugh may be heard in the jail corridor*. The prosecuting attorney, Atlee Pomerene, a young man of marked individual­ ity, conducts the case relentlessly end he is ably seconded by his assistant, James J. Grant, who was Saxton’s most Intimate friend. In his opening address Pomerene called Mrs. George an adventuress and in­ timated that her relations with Saxton were not the only black spots in her life. He said the crime could be broughtliome to her and it could also be show n that she had forfeited all confidence that Saxton might have reposed in her. Mrs. George's attorney, John C. Welty —who, assisted by James S. Sterling, is making as good an array of legal talent as could be found in the vicinity—outlined her defense. He said that she was not guilty, but dwelt mainly on her relations with Saxton, indicating that the defense would rely upon the plea of justifiable homicide or emotional insanity. While Mr. Welty drew a pathetic picture of her unhappy past Mrs. George sat with eyes closed and averted and face inclined to­ ward the table in front of her. With drooping countenance ahe heard the his­ tory of her girlhood, her happy home, ber removal to Canton, and her relations with Saxton. Sale of the Monon System.

The most important arrest by secret ser­ vice men for years bos been made, in the capture of the makers of the famous <100 counterfeit bank note, which has puzzled the authorities for more than a year. Offi­ cers under the direction of Chief John Wilkie procured the arrest of «he coun­ terfeiter. He was a well-known news­ paper man in Washington city. When the "Monroe notes.” as they are called, made their appearance about fif­ teen months ago, the work was so per­ fect as to be accepted at the subtreas­ uries, and Secretary Gage decided to call in the issue which had been counterfeited. Twenty-three million was then in circu­ lation, and <6,000,000 is still out. The men arrested are: William M. Jacobs and W. L. Kendig, wholesale cigar manufac­ turers of Lancaster, Pa.; Arthur Taylor and Baldwin B. Bredell, engravers of Philadelphia, and James Burns, an em­ ploye of Jacobs. A clew was found and since that time officers of the secret service have been eating, drinking and sleeping with tbe men who were suspected. Not until they were sure of their ground did these men place the counterfeiters under arrest. Mr. Wilkie and a number of his men went over tp Philadelphia to be present when the arrest was made. The Philadelphians were taken into custody, but the greatest .secrecy maintained for fear ot frightening away the culprits at Lancaster. After placing the men at Philadelphia under lock and key, Mr. Wilkie left for Lancaster and paid a visit to’the men who were in league with those in the City of Brotherly Love. About one year ago the first clew wa* obtained that has led np to the capture of th% gang. How that clew was secured, bow it was followed up, and the details of the secret service operations during the last twelve months will likely remain bid­ den in the secret archives of the bureau. The success of the bureau’s operation* lies in the fact that its method of work is never made public. As the Secretary of the Treasury said, results are what count, and the arrest of these men, with the tell­ tale plates in their possession. Is all that the public need know of the twelve months' hard and secret work of Chief Wilkie and his assistant*. TROOPS TO GO TO M AN I LA Fourteen thousand regulars are to be sent to re-enforce Gen. Otis at Manila as soon as the necessary marine transporta­ tion can be provided. It is not expected that the bulk of tbe large body of re-en­ forcements can reach Manila until the end of the rainy season, which has just be­ gun, but they will closely follow the de­ parture of the volunteers from the Phil­ ippines. . With the regular troops already ordered and on the way to Manila, Otis will have an effective force of 21,729 men. in addi­ tion to the recruits being sent every few days for the regiments already in the Philippines. This force is to be raised to 35,000 men by the time aggressive op­ erations can be pressed in the early au­ tumn. The volunteers to be returned to this country from Manila number 12,000, so the determination to send 14,000 able­ bodied regular* to take their places is cal­ culated to show the rebel leaden that the United State* is terribly in earnest about meeting it* responsibilities for preserving order and commanding respect through the archipelago. It la stated that the army in the Philip­ pines will be Increased to 35,000 men, whether the rebels abandon tbe field or not. If Aguinaldo gives np his hopeless fight as a result of the negotiations now in progress between his followers and the President’s commissioners, 35.000 men are deemed the right numb r to garrison the forts in tbe outlying islands and es­ tablish lawful government in them.

A recent fire In Philadelphia nearly destroyed the first mint used by the Government of the United States. By hard work the historic building, situ­ ated at 87 and 39 North'Seventh street, was saved, to remain a splendid object lesson of the growth of the reifabllc. It seems almost Incredible that so short a time ago this plain old struc­ ture represented the entire personal holdings and real estate of our national government. The history of tbe first mint of the United States began with the passage by Congress of an act looking to the formation of such a necessary Institu­ tion. Tbe Initial step to put this act in operation was naturally the appoint­ ment of the officers of the Institution who should have charge of the estab­ lishment For director of the mint Washington selected David Ritten­ house, the astronomer, who received bls appointment and accepted the posi­ tion on July 1, 1792. Henry Voight a watchmaker, was appointed chief coiner, and Tristram Dalton was made treasurer. In the suc­ ceeding year Albion Cox was appointed chief assayer, and Robert Scott en­ graver. • July 31, 1792. -the corner stone of the new mint was laid by Washing­ ton, a distinguished gathering of the leading men of the day being present The foundation stone In place, work was commenced on the building at once. So rapidly for that period was the work pushed that tbe foundation was ready for tbe superstructure on Aug. 25. The framework was raised on the afternoon of that day. A few days later, on Sept 10. six pounds.of old copper were bought for tbe mint by Rlteahouse, at the rate of 1 shilling 3 pence per pound, this metal being the first ever purchased for the coinage of the United States. Three coinage presses Imported from England arrived od Sept. 25. aud were put In operation about Oct. 1. In h!» message to Congress Nor. 6, FIB8T VX1TED STATES MHtT. 1792, President Washington made tbe gratifying statement that a small coin­ age of half dimes bad been completed, the “want of small coins In circulation calling the first attention to them."

The House on Monday advanced to third reading bills abolishing all election primaries lo Wayne County and provid­ ing that all Dominations be made by direct vote of tbe people; requiring that makers of promissory notes be given notice of the date when said notes become due, and requiring women In the medical staffs* of all State inatltutiona baring woman in­ mate*. * The Gillam homestead bill waa passed by the House in committee of the whole on Tuesday with several minor amend­ ments. It provides that land* delinquent for taxes for any five years, where such lands’ have been sold and bid off to the State for the taxes of one or more of said years, shall be deemed to be abandoned lands. If the lands are abandoned and no suits are pending, the State Is then deemed to have absolute title to the landM, and the same are deeded over to the land commisaioner by the Au­ ditor General, and are offered for home­ stead entry. But before the land* are thus deeded further opportunity Is to be given to the person having tbe record title to aave hi* lands and remove the cloud resting upon them by beginning proceed­ ings within six months to vacate, or ret aside tbe determination of the State with reference to the land*. No suits can be commenced after the period of six months has elapsed. Representative Waterbury trotted out his'salary bill for county offi­ cers in the House, and it met an early death. The bill for the registratibn of physicians caused all sorts of troubles In the House. It bad been amended by {he committee so as to exempt Croatian Sci­ entists and Representative Fleischhauer declared that the bill bad no value what­ ever If it did not protect the public against quacks, and ho placed Christian Scientists at the head of the list. Representative Scully objected to giving the registration board power to decide what medical col­ leges shall be considered reputable, but his amendment was voted down. It took two hours to dispose* of the bill, but it finally passed without being materially altered. Among the bills considered fav­ orably was Representative Hammond’s, giving the panfbn board authority to rec­ ommend pardons; EikhofTs constitutional amendment against prison contract work; Aldrich, preventing marriages in certain cases; Whitney, amending net for the In­ corporation of villages relative to the col­ lection of back taxes. The House on Wednesday passed bills abolishing party caucuses in Wayne Coun­ ty and prohibiting the manufacture or sale of colored oleomargarine, except in the upper peninsula. Both bouses have passed the bills providing for tbe taxation of inheritances and for placing women on the medical staff of each State institution having female inmates. The Senate ad­ vanced to third reading a bill Increasing the standing appropriation for the uni­ versity from. 1-6 to W of a mill on the equalized valuation of the State. Tbe present tax yields $186,000 annually. Gov. Pingree has signed tho bill repealing the law prohibiting the spring shooting of tn(; gratory ducks. The joint resolution proposing a consti­ tutional amendment providing for tbe in­ itiative and referendum in all matters of legislation was killed in the House Thurs­ day. . The Senate on Friday advanced to third reading a bill providing for the adoption of the Torrens system of registering land t’tles. The bill makes it optional with counties to adopt the' system. A sensa­ tion was crehted in legislative circles by the discovery that the McLeod law pro­ viding for tho municipal ownership of street railways in Detroit was tdtnpered with after it passed both bouses and be­ fore it was signiti by the Governor. The change consists of the elimination of tbe provision that tbe net shall not in any manner affect the power of the Common Council under other laws to grant or ex­ tend franchises. Neither the committee in charge of the bill nor cither house made the amendment, and officials are endeav­ oring to find out who made tbe erasure. FIND QUAY NOT GUILTY. Trial of the Penn*ylv*ni*n Basalts in Acquittal. The Jury In the cime of former United States Senator Quay, ou trial for conspir­ ing to use for’his own unlawful gain and profit tbe funds of the State of Pennsyl­ vania deposited in the People’* Bank of Philadelphia, returned a verdict of *^ot guilty.” Following quickly upon the ver­ dirt of the Jury came the news that Gov. Stone had appointed Mr. Quay to be Unit­ ed States Senator to fill the vacancy caus­ ed by failure of the Legislature to name a successor to Mr. Quay. The Legislature failed )o elect a Sen­ ator before it adjourned on account of a deadlock. This left Pennsylvania with bnt one- Senator unless an appointment wa* made or an extra session of the Leg[islature was called and elected a Senator. MATTHEW S. QCAT. The appointment is supposed to be a sec­ ond verdict in Senator Quay’s favor in his trial. * When the verdict was announced there was an attempt at a demonstration, but thj* was sternly repressed by the court officers, whose loud shouts of "Order.” “Order," “Silence” were effective in si­ lencing those Jubilant spirits who wished to give vent to their satisfaction by cheer­ ing. The officers were unable, however, to keep back those who struggled to get to Mr. Quay and congratulate him. Chairs were upset, tables were brushed aside and hats were smashed by the on-rushing crowd. Mr. Quay, with a broad smile on bis face. resi>onded pleasantly to the greetings and congratulations of those who crowded around. A number of his political friends were there, and these men were loud aud sincere in their ex­ pressions. The jury took but three ballots in. the case. On two of these ballots they stood ten to two for acquittal. The latter two men wore not won over until a few min­ utes before the jury entered .he court room. BRANDED AS COWARDS, ~ x~ s Officer* of Seventyfirat New York Re* ccive a Severe Sentence. As a result of the court of inquiry which investigated the conduct of the Seventyfirst New York regiment in the Santiago campaign, the fact is developed that Maj. Smith, who was lieutenant colonel of the volunteer regiment; Capt. Whittle, who was major in that command, and Maj. Austin^of the staff of Brig. Gen. Smith, who commanded a company in tbe regi­ ment. were all suilty of cowardice when tbe ordc-r came to move to the front. It will be remembered that the refusal of the Seventy-first’s officers to more for­ ward under fire from the Spanish intrenchments was a signal for the rough riders, who charged through the New York regiment and on toward the muzzles of the enemy's guns. While the report of • the court is severe on the officers named, it exonerates the soldiers, every man of whom was ready to move on the enemy. TOM The Senate has recently passed the fol­ lowing bills: Mr. Colby—Additional circuit judge for Wayne County, which was amended so that Governor appoint until fall election of 1900.

Considerable hard work on the ,part _ of the officers has resulted in the ar­ rest of James and John Sligh oL, Chi­ cago, who are positively two of the three outlaws that assaulted and rob­ bed John Haberstrah of Assyria a short time ago. Under Sheriff Ham­ ilton of Baltic Creek has been keep­ ing his eyes open and after securing the well known Frank Jones of Battle Creek and others, he decided that the men for whom he was looking were in Chicago. Consequently Hamilton left for the city and with the assistance of Sheriff Williams of Marshall, who succeeded iu making the warrants valid, and detectives of Chicago sOon located the objects of their pursuit and brought them back to Battle Creek, where they waived’exainination and in default of furnishing bonds to the amount of S5.000 were taken to •Marshall to await trial, which was set f“r the June term of circuit com t. Sheriff Ritchie of ‘Hastings was at Battle Creek this week to confer with Officer Hamilton in regard to the place where the prisoners are to be tried, us l.e claims that they rightfully should be punished in his county, as' the offense was eommited there.. Hamil­ ton stated to him that the 'Calhoun county authorities would be willing to turn the men over to him, if his county would pay the costs already incurred in trucking and arresting the respon­ dents. Ritchie will not agree to this and the matter is still undecided. The three hoboes who were arrested at Charlotte by Deputy Sheriff Appelmaa of Jliis place, were known not to have been connected with the crime, but were taken before . Justice Riker of Hastings and each one was given fifteen days in the county jail for vagrancy. WEDDING BELLS, SPRAGUE— FEIGHNER. At the home of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. J.

Marcus Ward’s seminary for young women was a couple of hundred yards east of tbe storm’s path. A hptel building close to it was demol­ ished. j A score of guests stood upon the porti­ coes and at the dining room windows of the Still Hotel, half a mile west of the storm’s path, and saw it sweep through the town. Roofs blew ahead of the blast like leaves, seemingly far in front of the revolving snout a full hundred yards in tbe sky. One horse was blown out of the shafts of a road wagon, which lodged against the front of a bouse in the edge of the wind’s track. No one knows what became of the animal. Members of households disap­ peared with a partial demolition of homes, while others remained unhurt among the debris. Along the edge of the storm’s path holes are seen through frame bouses gs if punctured by cannon ball*. A second edition of the cyclone followed the first in about twenty minutes. It came as an ink-black cloud widely distrib­ uted and covered the whole town. Many sought refuge in cellars. The tail end of the cyclone did not break upon Kirksville, however, seeming to go by overhead. It is ix-lieved generally that the second cy­ clonic wave dropped to the ground before traveHng much further on itsjourney. Tbe heavens became black for .fifteen minutes, after which a heavy rait/fell for an hour and a half. By 8. o’clock tbe sky was clear and starry. Mayor Noonan telegraphed to every sta­ tion between Bloomfield, Iowa, and Mo­ berly. Mo., for surgical assistance. Un­ dertakers wired St. l/ouis and Chicago i rush orders for coffins. Scores of fami-1 lies will be rendered absolutely destitute fa addition to losses by injury and death. The reports from country districts indi­ cated that many lives were/lost in tbe surrounding farming districts. Henry Lowe and three children, living three miles north of Kirksville, were crushed beneath the timbers of their wrecked home. Several other members of the fam­ ily escaped injury. Other fatalities are reported from the country, but it is not likely that an accurate death list will be available for several days. Tbe tornado destroyed telephone and telegraph wires out of Kirksville and not until 9:30 o'clock Friday mornipg was communication with the outside resumed, and then only Id an unsatisfactory son of way. Deadly Volley Scatter* Aguinaldo’a Troops in Every Direction. Gen. MacArthur’s division crossed the Rio Grande Thursday and advanced on Apaiit. completely routing the flower of the Filipino army. Tbe Filipinos were very strongly in­ trenched on the river bank, near both sides of the railroad bridge. Gen. Wheaton sent Col. Funston across, with two com­ panies of the Twentieth Kaunas regiment, a couple of privates swimming the swift stream with a rope, under a galling fire, for the purpose of guiding the raft. Tbe men crossed in squads of twenty and at­ tacked the left flank of the natives, who scuttled like rabbits into covered ways and trenches. The rest of the regiment was compelled to cross the bridge in single file along the stringers. All the woodwork and much of the ironwork had been re­ moved. The First Montana regiment fol­ lowed the Kansans across the bridge. The First Nebraska regiment, acting as a reserve, attacked the natives in three lines of trenches, driving them out, killing sixteen and wounding many. In the meantime a large body of Fili­ pinos, estimated at no fewer than 3,000, led by Gen. Antonio Luna on a black charger, evidently coming to re-enforce the insurgents who were engaged with the Nebraskans, appeared in the open field about two miles to the left. Emerging from the jangle, the natives formed an open skirmish line nearly two miles in length, with very thick reserves behind. They then advanced at double quick until they were about 2,000 yards from the American line, when Gen. Wheaton or­ dered his troops to fire. The natives, who were evidently un­ aware that the Americana had crossed the river, broke and ran in the direction of Macabele. The other Filipinos tied to­ ward Apaiit station. The beat in the early part of the after­ noon was terrific, but a drenching thun­ derstorm, which came "later, greatly re­ freshed -the Americans. Most of the natives fled to Apaiit sta­ tion, where two trains were awaiting them. They left hurr'edly, presumably for Ban Fernando. The towns of San Vincente and Apaiit were simultaneously burned and evacuated by the natives. Twenty prisoners were captured, includ­ ing a Spaniard. The fighting lasted from noon until 4 o’clock. The American loss fa one man of the Montana regiment killed and three officers and six men wounded. �MICHIG ITEMS OF INTEREST TO MICHI' GANDERS 200 or better are the result. At the same time.

By sowing the clover In the above mentioned way I never fall to get two crops the year it Is sowed, and the same number each year thereafter. To make good hay, clover must be cut when tbe dew is off. After cutting, put It Immediately into heaps, and in two days fork it over and let the air get to it; then heap or shock as be­ fore. Id two days open it again, alid again put It into heaps. After two or three days it is ready for the barn. I have had it come out In the winter looking as green as it did before being cut . •»* Improved Corn Marker. There are but' few farmers who now plant corn by hand, but I know of some who do so. For those the improved marker shown herewith will be help­ ful. ‘ The Illustration explains the manner of construction. The materials needed are one piece of wood, a, 2x4, about 9 feet long; one piece, b, 2x4, about 4 feet long; two pieces, d d, each 2 feet long: two pieces of scantling, •c c. about four feet long; two old plow bandies, an old pair of buggy shafts and three or four old cultivator shov­ els. Set the shovels at proper distance apart, to make row of tbe required width.—J. G. Alshouse, in Orange Judd Farmer. Keep Fmall Tools Sharp. All the hoes and other small tools used In cultivating soil, Including culti­ vator teeth, should be sharpened at the ^beginning of tbe season and kept sharp thereafter; In stony ground, a hoe will need a little touch of the grind­ stone nearly every day. This may seem a small matter, but the time used in keeping small tools sharp Is not wasted, as It enables the workman to work more effectively for a day thereafter. Lay Two Hundred Egg*. How can we produce hens that will lay 200 eggs per annum? By scientific breeding, as for a good butter cow or a cow milker, as for a good trotter or high Jumping horse. Experiments have been made to increase the number of rows of com on tbe cob with success. The same method is applicable to poultry breeding. We will start with a ben that lays 120 eggs. Some of her chicks will lay 150 per year. From these we Will pick out layers, and so on until As spring advances the outlook for peaches grows brighter. One of tbe most' prominent South Haven growers is so confident of .n fair crop that be has made a bet of (100 that be will harvest 18.W0 baskets this season. His usual crop. is about 30jb00 baskets. Tbe trees which looked very badly a month ago are put­ ting on a far more healthful look, tbe wood Is losing some of the dark color which frightened them so much at first, and live buds on many of tbe varieties are plentiful. Some say they will have to thin their peaches, but a large crop is not looked for by most growers. , Joe Travis, the boy who so mysterious­ ly disappeared from Oxford some time ago, has returned home and tells a queer story. He says that while in Lapeer he fell down and struck his bead, rendering him unconscious. When he regained con­ sciousness be had forgotten where he lived and what his name was. Since- then be has been In Flint. Buttle Creek, South Bend, Ind., and Chicago. While at Battle Creek he saw his name in n patter afid his memory instantly returned to him. Hard Blow for 6a loon keeper*. The Supreme Court has dealt the sa­ loonkeepers of the State a hard blow, In an opinion in a case brought to test the validity of the ordinance of the city of Holland, which imposes a license fee of (300 on retail liquor dealers above the (500 State tax. The court bffids that it is entirely within the province of cities and villages to exact an additional license. This opinion opens a very wide channel for cities and villages of tbe State desiring to crush out saloons. Violators of the Fish Laws. Deputy Gam? and Fish Warden Brew­ ster of’Grand Rapids went to Gun lake and arrested five violators qf the fish and game laws. They had about two bushels of fish that they bad speared. They were taken to Hastings and pleaded guilty and were each fined (25 and costs, amounting to’(7. Two brothers by the name of Otis, in default of payment, went to jail for .sixty days. Escape by Pealing Walls. Raymond Morgan of Milwaukee and Thomas O'Keefe of Grand Rapids escap­ ed from the Detroit House of Correction by scaling the walls. They were in the sick ward, and from there got into the prison yard and mounted the wall. Both were serving time for postofflcc robberies, and had been in the house of correction for about two yeras.

Col. Manuel Aguelles and Lieut. Bernal, in behalf of Aguinaldo, proposed a cessation of hostilities until the Filipino congress could be assembled to decide whether tbe people wanted peace. Gen. Otis, in reply, declared he had no authority to recognize the exist­ ence of the so-called Filipino congress. Tbe Filipino officers scid it wan impossibie for Aguinaldo to negotiate for peace without the sanction of his congress. To this Gen. Otis replied if Aguinaldo could make war without his congress he could stop it without reference to that body. The Filipino officers then withdrew pending another conference. Instructions were cabled to Otis approving his refusal to rec­ ognize the Filipino government as such. The news caused rejoicings in every quarter, and particularly at the War De­ partment, where there has been much real uneattness over the desperate resistance exhibited by Aguinaldo and the evident Tuesday reported a substitute eval bills providing for the repc milted by the Governor to a special of the Legislature or to tbe best regular session.

The law prorides that the sate shall be the average rate of all taxes throughout tbe State for the previous year, and treats the tax as specific. The opinion of the court, which is unanimous, declares the law to be unconstitutional. The tax is held to be not specific, but ad valorem, and as such cannot be abstained because it violates the constitutional provision that the Legisla­ ture shall provide a uniform rule of taxa­ tion, except on property paying specific taxes. . The Dudley bill, directing the Secretary of State, Treasurer and Railroad Commis­ sioner to negotiate with the Michigan Cen­ tral and Lake Shore and Michigan South­ ern Railway companies for the surrender of their special charters, was passed by tbe House on Thursday by a vote of 53 to 39. It is favored by a majority of the Senate. Speaker Adams addressed the House on the necessity for enacting a law under which all property will be assessed on an equal basis. He advocated the ap­ pointment of a joint committee to ascer­ tain the market value of all railroad prop­ erty in the State, the market and assessed value of all other taxable property, real •■a personal, and the total amount of taxes it pays.

It is taken for granted, -though the contrary is sometimes the case, that the teacher has a definite object in view in each recitation, and hits been so thorough in the preparation of each subject to be presented that the pupils also shall be led tn each recita­ tion to aim at something definite. The following suggestion^ mav help teachers to attain this defitnleness of purpose and result: 1. -If you exneel to have lessons learned at all, make them short enough to bring them with­ in the grasp of the pupil and his time for preparation. 2; Assign few or no lessons to be learned at home: children must have time to work, read on general topics and books that are suitable, play, eat, sleep and grow. 3. Keep your explanations down to the level of your pupils’ minds. A great deal of teaching Hies over the heads of pupils in general. Use house­ hold Anglo-Saxon, such as men and women use in business and in the home. 4. Your chief business Is to make pupils think, not to think for them, (we see so much of the latter;) to make them talk, not to talk for them: to draw out their powers, not to display your own. 5. Keep your voice down to the conversational key. A clear, quiet tone of voice, but dis­ tinct, is music in the school room. 6. Train your pupils to recite in good English, but do not worry them by interruptions while they are speaking. Make a note of incorrect or inelegant expressions and have them corrected afterwards^ 7. Seldom repeat aouestion. Form your pupils to a habit of attention so that they can understand what you say the first time. 8. Excite self-activity in the pupils and lead each to discover truth. Show the pupils how to study. 9.. In each les­ son let a halt be made and then have pupils fix points already made, die conclusions reached, and the premises upon which die conclusion is based. 10. Your teaching should touch the whole nature of the child and stimu­ late to higher action, and more indus­ trious haulis of wbrk, of silence and obedience, of honesty andtruthfulness. FIELD DAY.

Business men often express the opinion ’that there is one thing which ' will prevent women from completely filling man’s place in the business world — they can’t be' de­ ified upon because they ten are sick too ___ . It is true that many.. women are compelled to look forward to times when they are unable to attend to social or business duties. Their appearance plainly in­ dicates their condition and they are reluctant to be seen, even by their friends. Read what a business woman says to such sufferers: Mtn. C. W. Mansfield, of 58 Farrar St., Detroit, Mich., sayn: “ A complication of female ailments' kept me awake nights and wore me out. I could get no relief from medicine and hope was slipping away from me. A young lady in tny employ gave me a box of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale Pep£le. I took them and was able to rest st night fur the first time in months. I aught more and took.them and they pared me as they also cured several other people to my knowledge. I think that if you should ask any of the druggists of Detroit,.wbo'are the best buyers of'Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills they would say tbe young women. These pills certainly build up the nervous system and many a young women owes her life to them. <'■ ' ■’ As a business woman I am pleased to recommend them as they did more for ne.than any physician and I can give Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People credit for my general good health to-day.

A chemical kiujwledge that tells just how .the dangerous compound is create^ is unnecessary to an avoid­ ance of the peril. The rule to follow is never to make lemonade or other acidulated drinks in a tin bucket-, nor allow them to stand in a vessel of tin: und in the ease of canned fruits or fish, immediately upon opening the can .urn the contents out upqp an earthenware plate, or into a dish that is made of earthenware or glass. Fruits in hermetically sealed cans, if properly prepared, generate no poison. As soon as opened, the action of the acid on tin, with the aid of the atmos­ phere. begins, und in a short time the result is a deadly poison. This brief treatment of the question should be remembered by every one, and its in­ structions followed. The general press also should aid in disseminating this simple knowledge.—Popular Science. f ■ 3W. ALE EOPLE--#^ Look for the seven celebrated words. Mtnn I»nu After dinner smoke 119.

Even if her motive in writing to the con­ vent had remained unchanged, the allu­ sions to tbe priest would still have decid­ ed her on taking this step. The bare Idea of opening ber inmost heart, and telling her saddest- secrets to a man, and that man a stranger, was too repellent to be entertained for a'moment. In a few lines of reply, gratefully and respectfully writ­ ten. she ftHmked the mother superior, and withdrew from the correspondence. _ The letter having been dosed, and post­ ed in the hotel box. she returned to the Hitting room; free from the one doubt that had troubled'her: eager to show Herbert how truly she believed in him, how hope­ fully she looked to the future. With a happy smile on her lips she open­ ed the door. She was on the point of ask­ ing him playfully if he had felt surprised at her long absence, when the sight that met-her eyes turned her cold with terror in an instant. His arms were stretched out on the table; bis bead was laid on them; despair confessed Itself in his attitude; grief spoke in the deep sobbing breaths that,shook him. Love and compassion restored Syd­ ney’s courage; she advanced to raise him in her arms—and stopped once more. The book on the table caught ber eye. He was still unconscious of her presence; ahe ventured to open It. She read the inscrip­ tion— looked at him—looked back at the writing—and knew tbe truth at last. The rigor ot the torture that she suf­ fered paralyzed all outward expression of pain. Quietly she put the book back on the table. Quietly she touched him, and called him by name. He started and looked up: he madfe an attempt to speak to her in bls customary tones. “I didn't hear you come in." he She pointed to the book, without the slightest, change in her face or ber man­ ner. "I have read the inscription to your wife," she answered; "I have seen you while you thought you were alone; the mercy which has so long kept the truth from me is mercy wasted now. Your bonds are broken, Herbert. Yon are a free man.” He affected not to have understood her. She let him try to persuade bey of it, and made no reply. He declared, honestly de­ clared, that what she had said distressed him. She listened in submissive silence. He took her hand and kissed it. She let him kiss it and let him drop it at ber aide. She frightened him; he began to fear for her reason. There was silence—long, hor­ rid. hopeless silence. She had left the door of the room open. One of tbe servants of the hotel appeared outside in tbe passage. He spoke to some person behind him. “Perhaps the book has been left in here.” he suggested. A gentle voice answered: "I hope the lady and gentleman will effuse me if I ask leave to look for my book." She stepped Into the room to make her apologies. (To be continued.) The Peculiar Cuban Dance. The Cuban dance is a peculiar one -when viewed through American eyes, for It Is so totally different from any of our dances. There Is only the one step, and that one is a sort of mixture of Jcdian. Turkish and Chinese. The couple rarely use more than three or four square feet of space, and dance continually, with little short Intermis­ sions of possibly fifteen seconds, dur­ ing which they merely stand In their places and rest. Two orchestras play continuously, one taking up the music as tbe other ceases. Tbe music is al­ most Identical with some that I have heard at the dances of our Indian tribes in Arizona and New Mexico, except that there Is tbe continual blare of a cornet. They use tomtoms, kettle­ drums .and some weird, gourd-llke af­ fair that they beat most vigorously, emitting a sound quite as musical as a boy would make with p barrel-stave as be ran along a picket fence.—Leslie’s Weekly. ’ His Greatest Blunder. “What do you consider the greatest mistake of your life?" asked tbe good man who was trying to turn tbe wicked to tbe path of righteousness. “Well,” replied tbe convict, thought­ fully, “of course I have made a great many mistakes in my day, but I think the most serious and far-reaching in its results was the mistake I made in steal­ ing from a private concern Instead of going Into polities and stealing from tbe state, like most of tbe wise ones.” It’s well to begin at the top of the ladder and go down—In case of fire.

'Once he shook in her face the revolver With which ahe was said to have shot Saxton and dangled tbe bloody coat of the dead man in the other. She sat unmoved and showed no emotion, even when he turned to her. his face ablaze with wrath, and called her a mur­ deress. But at night, when she reached her cell, she broke down and had to have medical aid. Prosecutor PoAcrene closed his argument in the case shortly before noon Thursday. It was one of the ora­ torical and logical efforts of the trial. He claimed that the defendant was simply a designing woman, who had played for high was too dark to distinguish even at short distance the features of a person, and that the neighbors who hurried to the scene of the tragedy could not identify even the murdered man until they struck a match and held it to his face. * It had rained on the day of the murder, and the woman-seen walking away after Saxton's shooting was obliged* to travel over muddy roads. • Yet Mrs. George when arrested at 7:30 o’clock had on slip­ pers that were unsoiled, her clothing was free from mud, and clone examination of her apparel in the house failed to reveal mud-stained articles. When taken to the police station several burs were found on her dress, and the State offered those as evidence, ns the ground around the scene of the murder was thick with the plants bearing them. The defense demolished this evidence by showing thtri the route over which Mrs. George walked to the po­ lice station was In one place thick with the same plants. A revolver also figured in the case. It was found concealed some distance from the scene of the shooting, with three dis­ charged cartridges in it. The prosecu­ tion offered it in evidence as the weapon used by Mrs. George, but had no evidence to show that she ever owned it or that it had been in her possession. Mrs. George when arrested was calm and self-possessed. She maintained the same bearing during her trial. When ar­ rested the fingers and nails of one hand had dark stains on them. These, .the pros­ ecution daimed. were powder stains, land it had her nails scraped and the scrapings submitted to analysis. When a chemical expert appeared during the trial to testify as to the result of this analysis the de­ fense objected to the introduction of his testimony, and the court sustained the ob­ jection. The prosecution added little Information on tbe most vital point, the murder itself, to that given the day after the commission of the crime.

He made a junction by swimming the river, taking guns aud mules. Gen. Wheaton’s command, the Kansas and Montana volunteers, during tbe night had repaired the bridge over the Bagbag river. The volun­ teers then crossed and attacked the the Filipinos in trenches, and after a short but sharp fight forced the enemy ia, to Cpkimpit. Here AguinaMo’a army fobght desperately. For the first time tbe Filipinos em­ ployed artillery. They brought two guns into action in the trenches before Calumpit, firing modern shrapnel, which burst over the heads of Gen. Wheaton's men without effect- The American loss in the morning’s fight was three killed and three wounded. The FHipjno loss was small, but they were well protected by their earthworks. The Filipinos adopted the same tactics as at Malolos, contesting the American ad­ vance on their headquarters and then abandoning them when the capture of the place was inevitable. The advance of the Americans Tuesday was marked by a stubborn resistance by the Filipinos and occasional severe fight­ ing. Gen. MacArthur’s advance* began at 9 o’clock in the morning. Gen. Wheaton, commanding the Kansas aud Montana regiments, with three guns of the Utah battery aud two troops of cavalry, marched along the railroad, bis line on the right the Bagbng river, the other side of river was Gen.

Then the enemy’s trenches, run­ ning across the Americans’ front, were en­ countered, and the train was moved for­ ward and shelled the insurgent position. The Filipinos responded in lively fashion. Gen. Hale’s brigade made a brilliant ad­ vance over open ground to the Chico river. They were exposed to a galling fire from the enemy's trenches at the junction of the Bagbag and Chico rivers. The Iowa regiment made a detour to the right to flank the trenches, and when this movement was executed the Nebraskans and South Dakotans swam tbe river, drove the enemy from their positions, and pursued them for half a mile before they were recalled. Before this was aecotdplished, however, Maj. Young, with the guns of the Utah artillery, dashed through a village that had been burned and pro­ tected the NebraskanR and South Dako­ tans as they made their way across the river. The artillery lost one killed and three wounded in making their dash. The Filipinos had the advantage of the fighting by the Chico, as they bad cleared the country of everything that would ap­ pear a protection to the Americans.

Watchmen, armed with shotguns, were kept guarding at the Locust street dyke, at the south end of Cutoff lake, with the intention of shoot­ ing any person or persons they might catch trying to cut through the dyke iu order to permit the escape of the flood of water that Is overspreading East Omaha From the upper river country come alarming reports of the Missouri** rav­ ages.

ONE SHORT YEAR AGO THE SPAN­ ISH'WAR BEGAN. Flni.h, Whole Waghlngt u correspondence: It baa been a year ainee tbe war with Spain began, a war which lasted just 113 day*. In that time, however, the United States land and nea forces destroyed two Spanish fleet*, received the surrender of more than 35.000 soldier*, took by con­ quest the fortified citie* of Santiago de Cuba, in Cuba; Ponce, in Porto Rico, and 'Manila, on tbe bland of Luzon, in the Philippines, and secured control, pending negotiation* for peace, of the entire Span­ lab poMeMion* in the West Indies, tbe Philippines and of Guam, of the Ladrone Islands. ' In this conflict the American* suffered no loss of ships or territory, and but 279 killed and 1,465 wounded in bat­ tle, whi|f tbe cost to Spain, aside from I prisoners, ships and lost territoiy, was 2,199 killed and 2.948 wounded. The.formal declaration of war by Con­ gress was made April 25. but the resolu­ tion embodying it stated that war had ex­ isted since April 21, whenlhe Nashville, a gunboat of tbe American navy, com­ manded by Lieut Washburn, captured a Spanish ship, the Buena Ventura. ' On the same day, April 21. President Mc­ Kinley ordered the North Atlantic squad­ ron, commanded by Acting Rear Admiral Sampson, to sail from Key West and blockade certglp pocta ?f Cuba. April 2S President McKinley issued a. call for 125,000 volunteers, to re-enforce the regu­ lar standing army, and sent orders to the then Commodore George Dewey, com­ manding the Asiatic squadron ■ of t^e American navy, to “find and destroy the Spanish fleet” Immediately th® work- of mobilizing an army of dtiseu soldiers of the United.States began. Spain declared war April 24. and within twa days after camps of soldiers were forming in every State. April 27, three of Admiral Samp- | son’s shipg shelled Matan^as, and op. next day CicDfuegos w'*’ sbclled\ 5n the same day Admiral Cervera of the Spanish nav^, with a fleet of warships, left Spain for West Indian waters. Sunday, May 1, the first and greatest sea battle of tbe war was fought. Com­ modore George Dewey made himself Rear Admiral Dewey and won undying glory for the navy by leading his fleet in to the mined harbor of Manila aud destroying the entire Asiatic fleet of Spain. Tbe Olympia was bis flagship nnd his remain­ ing vessels were the Baltimore, the Bos­ ton and the Raleigh, protected cruisers; the Concord and Petrel, gunboats, and tbe McCullagh. With this force he sunk, burned or blew up eight Spanish cruisers, six gunboats and. three transports. In tbe engagement not an American life was lost, while in 'killed and drowned the Spanish loss has been placed between 500 and 900. In the §rxt week in May the definite di­ vision of the ships of the American navy in Atlantic und Cuban waters into squad: tons and fleets was made. The flying squadron. Commodore Schley in com­ mand, was formed at Hampton Roads, the vessels being the Brooklyn, flagship; the Massachusetts, the Texas, tbe Co­ lumbia and the Minneapolis. Admiral Sampson, in the blockade line at Havana, had with him besides his flagship, the New York.' the battleships Iowa and In­ diana, the cruisers Cincinnati and Mar­ blehead. and a dozen torpedo craft aud gunl>oa’.6. Matanzas was shelled for the second time on May 7. Admiral Sampson appeared before San Juan, Porto Rico. May 12, and bombard­ ed the forts for three hours. Morro was partly reduced. Sampson was in search of Cervera’a fleet when hi- bore down upon San Juan. On the following day the flying squadron put to sea to aid in finding Cervera. The two fleets cut off Cervera and. May 18, it was reported that the Spanish admiral had taken refuge in San­ tiago bay. Commodore Schley, with the flying squadron, reached Santiago just in time to prevent a dash by Cervera for Cicnfuegos or Havana. Later Admiral Sampson arrived and the combined fleets began their long wait fdr their prey.. The invasion of the army to co-operate with the fleet at Santiago was planned as soon as Cervera’s whereabouts was known. President McKinley issued a sec­ end call for 75,000 ralunteers May 25. The demand was instantly met by the men who had failed to secure a place on the first call. Tbe first expedition to re-enforce Dewey at Manila sailed also on May 25. It num­ bered 6,000 men Dally bombardments of the forts on Santiago bay continued. The order was given. June 8, to prepare a landing tor the army of invasion and on June 10, Col. Huntington, with a force of marines, landed at Guantanamo and established Camp McCalla. The fleet, with the aid of the marines, demolished Fort Caimanera aud captured Baiquiri, which was to be the landing place for Gen. Shafter’s army, which left Tampa on transports June 14. Shafter appeared off Baiquiri June 22, and two days were occupied in landing. Juragua was captured June 24, and the advance toward Santiago began. Tbe Spaniards resisted and Roosevelt’s rough riders and the Tenth United States cav­ alry, in the van of tbe American army, found themselves engaged with a supe­ rior body of Spaniards. The enemy was driven back by the furious charge, but tbe loss was 13 killed and 60 wounded. Sa­ ville was occupied June 26, and on the last day of June 13,000 American troops were before Santiago, 5,000 more on their way from the coast, with 3,000 Cuban* near at hand. The general assault began July 1, El Caney being captured at severe cost The last of the outworks was not in the pos­ session of the American army until tbe evening of July 2, while the heights of San Juan were still untaken. Gen. Law­ ton's division assaulted San Juan July 3, and carried the heights in the greatest Charge ot a great battle. Santiago was surrounded and Gen. Shafter demanded 1ta surrender. The American low in the three days* battle was 231 killed, 1,283 wounded and 81 missing. Tbe Madrid authorities ordered Admiral Cervera, July 2, to make a dash from the harbor of Santiago. He carried out his orders on the morning of July 3. Ad­ miral Sampson, with the New York, had gone to consult with Gen. Shafter when the Spanish ships were seen coming out of the harbor, but Commodore Schley, •ritb the Brooklyn.

One American sailor oh the Brooklyn was killed, while of the Spanish 000 were killed and 1,100 taken prisoners, including Admiral Cea? wera. The entire Spanish fleet was de­ stroyed. . ’ The bombardment of Santiago was then begun, and on July 14 Gen. Total, recognixlpg the hopelessness of further resist­ ance, surrendered the entire province of Santiago and all its garrisons of 23,000 soldiers, the United States agreeing to send them back to Spain. Gen. Miles, who arrived at Santiago before the surrender, -prepared, immediately to lead an army . against Porto Rfco. It landed near Ponce July 25, the day that the rumor went abroad that Spain was ready to cry "Enough.” Gen. Merritt reached Manila on that day also. The landing in Porto Rico was without loss and with no en­ gagements other than a skirpish at Guanica, ending in the hoitrllng of the American flag over the town. Spain made Its direct appeal for peace through Ambassador Cambon of France on July 26, but suggested no terms. July 27 Ponce surrendered to Gen. Miles. Pres­ ident McKinley sent terms of peace to Spain July 2). The second battle of Manila was fought July 31,'on a Sunday, as was the first. The'Anierican loss was nine killed and 45 wounded. The Spanish loss In killed and wounded was 600. . Spain sent an evasive answer to the United States Ang. 5, and it was received Aug. 9. President McKinley responded with an imperative reiteration of the orig­ inal terms, and with .bad grace Spain, Aug. 11. gave permission to Ambassador Cambon £o accept them. The terms of the protocol demanded the evacuation of Cuba, the cession'of Porto Rico and tbe appointment of commission­ ers by each country to agree as to the dis­ position of the Philippines.

What to Buy Just so evil in the blood comes oat in shape of scrof­ ula, pimples, etc., in children and young people. Taken in time it can be eradicated by using Hood's Sarsaparilla. In older people, the aftermath of irregular Irving shows it­ self in bilious conditions, a heavy head, a foul mouth, a general bad feeling. Is the question which arises when people look over our large stock, of clothing. They see so many different patterns which suit them that they are at a lorfs to know what to decide-on. We have clothing in all -• sizes. ut all prices, in all fashionable colors and-in the latest styles. Our . line of foot­ wear is equally as complete as is our stock of clothing. You can get a pair of shoes of us that fit and always hold their shapi. They are made right and are guaranteed to give oatisfaction. We also have a fine lot of shirts, neckwear, hats, bathing suite, bicycle suits,sweaters, golf hose, hammocks, trunks, telescopes and everything thatone can find iu a first-class clothing store: Don’t mfts our store if you are looking for .a nice, nobby-spring outfit. It is the blood, the impure blood, friends, which is the real cause. Purify that with Hood’s Sarsaparilla and happiness will reign in your family.

The hollow cheeks, the sjinkeii eyes, ,he sallow parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. s A physician would ask If you had rheumatism, a dull pain nr ache in the back or over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often. <»r a burning or scalding in passing it: if after pass­ ing there ft an unsatisfied feeling as if it must be repeated, of if the urine has a brick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptons are present, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of tbe'oladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and soinetjmes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may run into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trou­ ble.

Dr. Horton said recently in an article on the Stomach anff ite-most prevailing disease—dyspeptrffc, “Tlfat very few people today possess a healthy, sound stomach. And this class requires no aid to digestion: while the other portion, which figures fully 8<> per cent, ought not to force diges­ tion in a diseased stomach, as blood produced in such conditions will eventually contaminate the whole system. Medicine has been compara­ tively at a standstill as to a reliable treatment for stomach diseases in all of their manifold forms, although many preparations are offered tu sufferers, yet thetf us< is usually more perilous than delay.” [ But the saying that ‘ ‘necessity is the mother of invention" seems evidently verified in Prof. Drake’* production of his marvelous treatment known as Drake’s Dyspepsia Cure and Nerve Kestorer. Tnls well-spring of life is flowing into thousand of homes today; many who have tried nearly everthing with little or no relief, are now rejoic­ ing over the results of this new method treatment, for In this treatment the idea of tying sufferers down to an endless doping of drugs and nostrums is entirely lost sight of, as results from its use in bad complicated cases show that all that is required is a little persistency in following out the plain instructions which accompany each treatment‘when a speedy ana per­ manent cure will invariably be the result.

Upon its, arrival at the shipping point two derks turned tbe box brer, several times in weighing It, but failed to detect its contents. Ten min-utes later one cf the clerks noticed, a man clad in a pair of trousers and an under­ shirt, with his cap in- his band, running toward the rear door. The open box told the story.

WINTER WHEAT OUTLOOK FAIR. Thia Government will not permit Nica­ ragua to carry out its threat to confiscate the property of the Americans who re­ fused to pay double duty on jb>ods import­ ed. It appears the Americans paid the duty in good faith to the Insurrectionist*, who were In revolt, and when the revo­ lution was put down a second payment was demanded by the recognised Govern­ ment. under threat of confiscation. Tbe Americans appealed to .the State Depart­ ment, and they were adrioed to pay the duty a second time under protest, which would give them grounds Jtor claim# against the Nicaraguan Government. Whether this was done is not known by the Bute Department officials, but the business of tbe Americans has been sus­ pended. They put a seal upon their doors, nud hoisted the American flag over their places of business. 1 When the officials de­ manded the duty, and in the event of a re­ fusal of payment threatened to confiacate the property, the Americans pointed' to the flag and told those who wanted to de­ spoil them ‘that they would have to tear • down tbe flag before the threats could be executed. According to the last advices the flag was still flying, and the property was in possession of its rightful owners.

There must be provided Gov­ ernments for Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippines; preparations must be made to turn Cuba over to the natives: the pre­ liminary legislation on the Nicaragua Canal must be started; the war revenue act will need curtailment; and a currency plan is necessary to form the basis of tbe Republican pintform for 1900. As a new Speaker will be elected, necessitating a long wait for th^committees, It is felt an early start will be*necessary to get all the work done by the time the national con­ ventions meet. Official objections to married men in the enlisted force of the army have been re­ newed by the War Department in an order sent out to recruiting officers and regi­ mental and other commanding officers. There always has been a natural objec­ tion to thifl.Xar tbe reason that the accom­ modations at military posts do not admit of many families. Another reason is found id the fact that men make better fighters and can be ordered here and there easier when they are free of family responsibili­ ties. There is now better reason than ever before to limit the enlistments to un­ married men with the constant changes being made in stations of troops nud tbe hard work in tbe field which many of the commands will be called on to perform.

These gates should always be in good repair, but such Is not always the case. It Is a neat, tidy farmer,- Indeed, that never allows a gate to sag. so that It has to be lifted In opening, or has a broken hinge. There are many plans of making good gates, but the best we have ever tried is constructed as fol­ lows: Take two pine or poplar boards, six Inches wide, an inch and a half ' thick and as long as you want your gate. Have pickets one by four inches and as long ns you want your gate high. Then a brace one by four Inches, long enough to reach from the lower corner of gate on hinge end to top cor­ ner? where the latch Is to be placed. Lay tbe two rails down on barn floor or trestles. If you have them, the proper distance apart, and nail on your pick- Saw brace to fit in between rails with­ out notching, and nail'pickets to this. Bolt on hinges,-having holes In same, so tbe bolts will pass through both picket and rail. At the other end bolt a pallng'on each side of tbe rail. Have a common latch made out of an old wagon tire or any old plede of bar Iron and when this is properly secured your gate Is complete. Always use dressed lumber, so you can paint gate any de­ sired color, red being usually prefer­ red. A gate made in this manner will last for twenty years, If kept painted, and It will never sag a particle, and Is good and strong. It Is the easiest gate made, and the best we have eve? tried. —New England Homestead. Tbe Porch In Summer. To live as much as possible out of doors is always desirable lu summer, and If one has not a wide veranda they may have a'nice tree-or cluster of large shrubs, or a framework and covered vines. A few comfortable lounging places are to be desired. Old pieces of furniture may be renovated, painted and upholstered and made to. stand the exposure and changes of the weather. Tbe Illustration shows a chair. The framework consists of a box. two up­ right sticks and a board to form a back. Tbe box should be 16 Inches wide and long, and 10 Inches high, with a hinged cover so the Interior may be a recept­ acle for odds and ends.

There Is a slight tonic bitter- to the dandelion greens which makes them liked by almost every­ body. and those who do not entirely like tbe flavor eat the greens because tbey are-healthful. Some gardeners claim that they have originated new varieties with larger, thicker leaves than'those on dandelions .that grow wild. It Is possible, however, that It Is the garden culture rather than dif­ ferences in variety that makes the new sorts preferable. A Monster Hog. The largest hog ever raised In Butler County, Olilo, was slaughtered on March 0, weighing 1,275 pounds. .It was three years and ten days old. and was of Poland-China stock. His measurement .from nose to rump (tall) was 7 feet and 4 inches; across the back when standing up was 2 feet 0 inches; around the neck close to his ears 5 feet 4 inches; girth around the heart near ttie forelegs 7 feet 7 inches; around the flank 7 feet 8 Inches. After be was hung up and split through-the back I measured the thickness at the shoulders and along the back; at the shoulders, 12 Inches; along the back, 10 inches; there was 6 Inches of fat and 4 Inches of lean meat On November 24 this hog weighed 830 pounds, making a gain of 445 pounds In 105 days, or 4V* pounds per day, the largest gain per day on rec­ ord. During this period he ate forty ears of corn per day, and. as It takes about 100 average ears for a bushel, thb total corn fed during the 105 days was forty-two bushels, making an*ayerage gain of 10 3-5 pounds gross weight per bushel of corn. Having ex­ perimented several years In feeding hogs to learn the gain in live weight per bushel of corn, with the choicest selected hogs and under the most fa­ vorable conditions the gain was ten pounds per bushel. The net weight of this hog was 1.100 pounds, the loss being a traction less than 14 per cent.; the general average loss from live to net weight ranges from 15 to 18 per cent, on large and well fattened hogs.—Cincinnati Price Current 4 Cleaning the Cellar. The first house cleaning In spring should be done In the cellar, removing whatever Is left of the vegetables and fruits, put up for winter use, and after clearing away mould from the walls I giving them a coat of fresh whitewash. Into which a weak solution of carbolic I acid has been put In making it This will destroy latent genus, which more often originate lu the cellar than any­ where else. After the cellar Is cleaned and whitewashed place a few lumps of unslacked lime In any places that seem to be somewhat moist. Keep tbe cellar windows closed on warm, sun­ shiny days and open them at night especially if rather cool. It Is the warm air from outside Ln the cellar coming In contact with the cold stone walls and metal which it contains that deposits moisture and soon forms a mould on all such surfaces. Most peo­ ple think It Is cool air which Is respon­ sible for damp walls. On the contrary, It Is the warm and apparently dry air from the outside which does it when this Is brought In contact with any cool surface. Profit from Garden Herb*.

Berry Culture. Every farmer should ralhe enough berries to supply the family all the year. There Is nothing more delicious and healthful than strawberries, rasp­ berries and blackberries, and no other crop on tbe farm pays as well for the small outlay and the laud they require. September Is the month to plant them, and when this Is properly done a good crop can be grown the first year. A northern slope that will drain well Is l>est. A great many make the mis­ take of getting the soil too rich for strawberries, and get a big crop of vines with very little fruit Land that •will grow a good crop of corn Is just right, and when property planted and cultivated will always produce plenty of fine berries.- The soil should be cleared of all weeds and rubbish, well pulverised with disk or cultivator and barrow. and then plowed deep and thoroughly pulverized after plowing. Mark rows three feet apart and set the plants In deep, putting a half pint of water with each plant and packing the dirt firmly around the roots. Late Ln the fall they should be mulched with clean straw, marsh hay or corn stalks. In the spring hoe or cultivate shallow, but not after the plants begin bloom­ ing. as It win cause them to rust.—Fruit Grower. Dandelions for the Garden. The stand-by for early greens In many country place® Is tbe dandelion, which grows spontaneously in tbe pas­ tures, showing Its location by bright yellow flowers. But wbeu tos dande- There are certain kinds of vegeta­ bles which have a good sale when dried that are far too little grown. We allude to such herbs as sage, thyme, fennel, coriander and the like. More money is often made from a sage bed than from the same area of land plant­ ed In anything else. There Is always a good demand for It to use for stuffing whep pork, turkey or chicken are to be roasted, and If the herb has to be bought at the grocer’s or drug store several times what the farmer could well afford to sell it for has to be paid. There would be more profit In farming if farmers' paid more attention to the small items which they now neglect, because they seem too unimportant to be worthy of notice. eolid FIoofh for StabTe*. ~~" Wherever there is a crack In a stable floor where horses or cows are kept, fertility, which Is really money.

There are under many old stables several feet depth of soil filled with this excrement, which If drawn out on tbe fields makes the richest kind of manure.

MICHIGAN SOLONS. ANTl-IMPERI ALIST MEETING. Great AaAienca AsplsnAs Denwaclatian of Expansion. A great crowd gathered at Central Mu­ sic Hall in Chicago Sunday to discuss ex­ pansion. Dr. Henry Wade Roger* was chairman. He announced at the opening of the meeting that the topic of discussion was not to be on the administration of na­ tional affairs In general, but only opposi­ tion to tbe Philippine ^policy. Tbe speak- ' ers were: Henry Wade Rogers, president of'Northwestern University; Bishop'J. L. Spaulding of the Catholic diocese of Pe­ oria, Prof. J. Laurence Laughlin of the University of Chicago, the Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones, Edwin Burritt SmUh, Jane Addama and Sigmund Zeisler. ' The protest* from people ta the audience began in a spontaneous burst. Boon the words “traitor’’ and “treason” were beard above the din. They were yelled at "the speaker. The interruptions caused a great commotion. Finally Chairman Rogers ap­ pealed/o the loyalists to assist. In the meantime three or four of those who were . loudest tn their -disapproval of criticism of the President were led to the door and asked to leave. Resolutions denouncing tbe. policy of imperialism ss hostile to liberty and tend­ ing to militarism, an evil from which It has been our glory to be free, were adopt­ ed. They condemned the policy of the administration in the Philippine affair and decplored and resented the “needless loss of life." They protested against exten­ sion of American empire- by “Spanish methods” and* demanded immediate ces­ sation of war. TORNADO OF FIRE. Flames Sweep Nebraska Prairies with Breath of Death. A prairie fire burning in the hay flats along the northern tier of counties of Ne­ braska passed into the track ot a tornado and was swept with the speed of the wind for many miles, destroying everything in its path. The property damage is known to reach into the thousands, though the only lives lest, so •'far as known, were those of Mrs. Rolla Livingston and her 5-year-old boy. The woman saw the fire coming and ran to a pasture to release the family stock. The boy followed her and both were knocked down by the terrified animal*. The fire passed over them be­ fore they could get out of the way. -The body of the boy wa* almost consumed, and Mrs. Livingston lived but a few hours. A number of large bunches of cattle were overtaken and consumed in the path of the seething mass carried along in the teeth of tbe tornado. A large number of (arm houses were utterly destroyed and the families escaped only by racing be­ yond the limits ot the track of the storm. The storm ot fire is considered.the most extraordinary thing that ever visited that section, and it passed through the wealthi­ est agricultural part of Nebraska. ILLINOIS FOR HOPKINS. Republicans of the State Name a Can­ didate for Speaker. Congressman A. J. Hopkins has the pledged KUpporUofthe Republican Con­ gressmen from Illinois in his candidacy for Speaker of the National House cf Representatives. At a caucus of the Illi­ nois delegation held in Chicago it was unanimously voted to back up Mr. Hop­ kins. Walter Reeves of the Eleventh dis­ trict was chairman and was delegated to “give out the news.” He did it as fol­ lows: “After consultation,* a majority of the delegation appearing to be tor Mr. Hop­ kins, Mr. Cannon, on being informed, sug­ gested that the will of the majority be made the action of the delegation, and that that action be made unanimous, which accordingly was done.” The Lynching in Georgia. It is difficult to conceive any other pun­ ishment that would fit the crime.—Denver Times. Neither the law nor the wildest mobs can adequately punish the perpetrator of the crime against tbe Cranfords.—Louis­ ville Post. How Georgia expects its rising genera­ tion to respect law and order after the ter­ rible tragedies is hard to understand.—In­ dianapolis News. There will be more lynchings of this character whenever negro brutes are con­ victed of crimes against women in the South-—Milwaukee Journal. Let the Southern people make what. • laws they will, impose what penalty they will, for this crime, but leave It to tbe courts to enforce them.—Washington Post. For crimes like this death by the rope or at the stake will continue to be meted out at the South, whatever the opinion of the rest of the world.—New Orleans States. The crime to be punished was brutal in the extreme. There was no excuse for the display of devilish rage, of calculating cruelty, of savage glory in human suffer­ ing.—Washington Star. It is true that the crime for which this negro was tortured was unspeakable, but the punishment meted out to him is a blot on civilization and would disgrace a band of bloodthirsty savages.—Chattanooga Times. Whatever influence the lynching exerted upon its victim perished with his breath, but its influence upon all the thousands ’ who participated as actual spectators or in sympathy survive*. Is It for good or evil?—Boston Globe. The crimes for which this is the punish­ ment continue with an unpleasant regu­ larity. One cruelty suggests another. The sensibilities of men are deadened by such scenes. The more wolfish the lynchers, the more beastly the criminal.—Milwau­ kee Journal. What happened at Palmetto on Sunday will happen anywhere else io, th’* country when a similar crime is to be avenged.

The lynchings which have occurred ia this and other States daring the last few years do not seem to have had tbe effect intended.

In features, they were identical. One Sholograph would dofor both. Often, uring the earlier period oftheirlives, did their mother exchange their cloth­ ing for tbe mystifleationof her visitors. It is even related that, upon an oc­ casion of this sort, Mrs. Mackie fraa herself compelled to acknowledge the maternal instinct at fault, and was un­ able to determine whether' or not eaah was in the habilamente suited to the sex. These twins were born on Christ­ mas day, hence the pretty conceit of naming them in honor of the beautiful holly-berries. James Mackie, in the earlier days of his married life, was a prosperous and respected man. But when the twins were about fifteen years old, he had contracted the habit of gambling.

Herbert Linley end Sydney Westerfield ■l*oked‘at the woman whom they had out* raged. The woman whom they had out­ raged paused and looked back at them. The hotel servant was surprised at their •ot speaking to each other. He was a •tupld man: he thought..the gentlefolks were strangely unlike gentlefolks in gen­ eral; they seemed not to know what to aay. Herbert happened to be standing nearest to him: he thought it would be •uiy civil to the gentleman to offer a word •f explanation. •'The lady had these rooms, air. She has come, back from the station to look ■for a book that has been left behind-." Herbert signed to him to go. As the •man turned to obey, he drew back. Syd­ ney had moved to the door before him, to leave the room. Herbert refused to per­ mit it. "Stay here,” he said gently; “this room is yours." Sydney hesitated. Herbert addressed her again. He pointed to bis divorced wife. "You see bow that lady is looking at you," he said; "I forbid you to submit to Insult fpom anybody." Sydney returned into the room. Catherine’s voice was beard for the first time. She addressed herself to Sydney with a quiet dignity—far removed from anger, further removed still from con­ tempt. . * "I do you justice," she said. "You can still feel a sense- of shame." Herbert snatched up the book.- It was only a momentary outbreak of auger. The next moment he matched Catherine’s self­ control; he spoke to her with scrupulous •respect.' "Here is your book, madame." • She still kept her eyes fixed on Sydney —still gpoke to Sydney. 'Tell him." the said, "that I refuse to see the book." % Sydney attempted to obey. At the first words she uttered,. Herbert checked her -once more. "I-have begged you already not to sub■mlt to insult." He turned to Catherine. "The book is yours, madame. Why do you refuse to take It?” , She looked at him for tbe first time. A .proud sense of wrong flashed at him its : keenly felt indignation in her first glance. ’Did his worn face, bis wasted figure, plead with her? Those eyes that bad so often looked love at him, softened with sorrow. She signed to him to lay the book down. "No," she said; "not from your -bands, nnd not from hers. I leave the book; I leave you." She moved to the door and looked back at Sydney. "Poor creature!” she murmured to herself.

It was a. moment when he was bound to assure her of his sympathy, and even of his respect. He felt for her. In bls inmost heart be ’felt for her. As he drew nearer, be saw tears in her eyes; but-they seemed to have risen without her knowledge. Hardly con­ scious of his presence, dhe stood before him—lost in thought. He endeavored to rouse her. "Did I protect you-from insult?" be asked. She said absently: "Yes!" ■"Will you do as I do, dear? Will you try to forget?" She said: “I am trying"—still, as it ap­ peared. thinking of something else. "Would you like to lie down, Sydney, aud rest?" "Yes." She took his arm. He led her to the door of her room. “Is-there anything else I can do for you?" he asked. "Nothing, thank you." "She closed the door—and abruptly open­ ed it ayain. "One thing more," she said. “Kiss me.” He kissed her tenderly. Returning to the sitting room, he looked back across the pass. Her door was shut. His head was heavy, his mind felt con­ fused. He threw himself on the sofa, ut­ terly exhausted by the ordeal through ■which he had passed. In grief, in fear, in pain, the time still comes when Nature claims her rights. The wretched, worncut man fell into a restless sleep. He was awakened by the servant, laying the cloth Cor dinner. "It’s just ready, sir," the man announced; "shall I knock at the lady’s door?” Herbert got up and. went to her room. He entered softly, fearing to disturb her if she slept. No sign of her was to be seen. She had evidently not rested on her bed. A morsel of paper lay on the •smooth coverlet. There was only a line ■written on It: "You may yet be happy— and it may perhaps be my doing.” Gone! CHAPTER XVIII. The garden of the hotel at Sydenham ’had originally belonged to a private house. Of great extent, it bad been laid out in excellent taste. Flower beds and lawns, a handsome fountain, seats shaded by groups of fine trees at their full growth, completed the pastoral charm of the place. Catherine was alone in the garden. She ■quietly seated herself under the trees and watched in solitude the decline of the sun tn a cloudless sky. The memory of the •happy years of her marriage had never ■been so sadly and persistently present to tier mind as at this time. Suddenly she -observed some one approaching her—a woman. In the dim light and at the distance be­ tween them recognition of the woman was Impossible, Strained to the utmost point ©f tension, Catherine’s nerves quivered at the sight of that shadowy, silent figure. In tones that trembled she said: “Who are you? What do you want?" The voice that answered was, like her •zswn voice, faint with fear.

The Filipinos are .strengthening their lines wherever possible. . This and the persistency with which Aguiualdo and Luna have sent in tbe same proposition for an armistice leads to the belief that the Filipino leaders have been simply working for time in which to collect their forces and to permit their soldiers to recover from the state of demoralization in which the repeated victories of the Americans had. thrown them. The offensive opera­ tions tM’gun by Gens. Lawton and Hale show? that Gen. Otis shares this belief. The news from Manila regarding the failure of peace negotiations came as a surprise to the War Department. The campaign will be pursued with the utmost . vigor, nnd it is not likely that the rainyseason will offer any perceptible check to the aggressive movements of the Ameri­ cans, if aggressive action shall again be­ come necessary. * . Although the Secretary of War and Adjutant General had hoped for a speedy, peacetve solution their eyes have from tbe beginning of tbe negotiations been on the other prospect as well, as evidenced by the disposition to hurry more troops to the Philippines as re-enforcements for oen. M*ARTHUR’S HEADQUARTERS, CALOOCAlf Otis. Tbe latter, it was firmly believed, would not allow himself to be led into any trap, nnd tbe ruse to gain time, if such was the case, seems to have failed. Rout the Rebels. Advices have been received from Manila that Gen. Wheaton captured Santo Toma* after a severe fight with the insurgents. The insurgents were routed. The town was nearly destroyed by fire. Lawton’s brigade has advanced toward Mnasand, crossed the river and charged the enemy in strong intrenchnients, driving him north­ ward and inflicting considerable loss. Both Wheaton and Hale of MacAr­ thur’s division found the enemy in force, strongly intrenched nnd commanded by Commander-In-Chief Luna, about four miies south of San Fernando. Hale on the right, dislodged the enemy; and Wheaton, on the left, lending in person, made a brilliant charge, scattering Luna’s forces and inflicting great punishment Several officers and enlisted men were se­ riously wounded. WAR NEWS iN BRIEF. I Gen. Lawton in his flanking expedition to the northeast met some difficulties. The chief of these is the inaccurate map, many roads on it not lieing in existence. Gen. Otis finds it impossible to maintain telegraphic communication with Gen. Lawton. Small bands of the enemy ent the wires as fast as the signal corps can erect them. Gen. Joe Wheeler will not go to the Philippines. That has been definitely de­ cided. He will probably be placed in com­ mand of the department of Texas, which is to be revived. A Spanish prisoner brought into the American lines states that Gen. Hale’s brigade inflicted terrible losses on the Fili­ pinos during the fight at Qtiingua. He says that more than 200 Filipinos were killed in the fight. The three brigadier generals who will go to the Philippines are Gen. Fred Grant, who is'now on his way from Porto Rico; Gen. Bates, recently military gov­ ernor of Santa Clarn province, Cuba, and Gen. 8. M. B. Young. Official dispatches from Manila say that the Spanish garrison nt Baler continues to hold out against the insurgents. Gen. Otis declined to accept the proposal of Gen. Rios to send Spanish droops to the relief of the beleaguered garrison. He decided to send an American force to res­ cue the Spaniards. At Pulilau, a few miles east of Calumpit. Wheeler’s troop of the Fourth cav­ alry. while reconnoitering, encountered'a small body of insurgents, who failed to re­ turn the fire of our soldiers. Instead they raised a white flag, and in the parley which followed explained that they had strict orders to stop fighting pending the negotiations for an armistice.

The following article from the Mich­ igan Farmer will give our farmers some idea of sugar beet raising: “The cost of an acre of beets must, of course, vary with varying conditions. It ought not to exceed *35 and rarely does, where the owner himself super­ vises the work. The returns from an acre also vary within wide limits. They should not fall below $48, and may go up indefinitely above that. A yield of 12 tonF-t*vu''J»2< acre is to be expected unless uhe season is very adverse. Yields of 15 aud even20»oos are. not uncommon. Few beets sell as low as $4 per ton; many sell as high as $5. The farmer can ralsfcJblSefe ^t these figures and make a lafge profit?

"Hush, Mab!" said Dick, emerging from the shelter of a curtained recess In the. old-fashiobed sitting room. “The pater is just outlfide with Uncle John, an4» if they get hold of me.

The libraryf* echoed Mab, ruefully. "Well. I will try to slip In. But listen! Father is coming out of the library now. and Uncle John with him. I shall get the Jbook after all!” The girl whispered the last sentence -while the voices of two gentlemen were : plainly audible outside in the corridor— the voices of Mab'u father, and ot her -unde. She hesitated no longer, but went swiftly and lightly by a side door whence she could gain access to the library. Mab lost not a moment in locating her story book. • She had hastily clutched her treasure, and was about to fly back again, ■when the door was reopened, and, to her Jiffright, her father, followed by Uncle John, came back. A few words, however, . from the former reassured her, making ’her decide th remain behiad'-the shelter of the curtain, and not to betray her pres“Yes,” so id her father, “here it ta.

"We shall hardly be back before seven -o’clock." “No," said Mab’s father; then, lowering Sils toice cautiously, he added another ' sentence which made Mab feel uncom­ fortable. “Shut the door, John; I want to say another word to you before we start. This letter ta on my mind., After all, as you say, it is risky to carry such a secret abbut with one, and we must read it (through together before we destroy it" "I should think so!" interrupted Uncle .'John. “So I will put it In here," continued Mab’s father, opening a tiny drawer in Ibis large writing table. ’That will be safer,” remarked his ‘’brother. "But where are your keys? Yon would surely never leave such a paper in a drawer which was not locked, even for a moment!” T must have left them on the toilet table," was the reply, as the speaker has­ tily closed the narrow drawer after throw­ ing the letter inside. “Well. I will fetch the keys at once, just to case your mind; but I can assure you that neither the girls nor Dick would venture to open any of the drawers in my writing table. They, stand in too much awe of me; and it is •well that it is so—the faintest suspicion of what this letter contains would raise a hornet's nest about your ears aud mine, and Dick would have no mercy! No, no: that secret must be forever hidden. You call me a careless man, but I think I have kept it well concealed all these “Great heavens, the merest whisper -would be destruction!’’ cried Uncle John. ;ln horror. "Well, you know what care I have al•ways used, and that lately I have insisted that any communication shall be in Ger­ man. That puts me at ease about this letter. None of the servants would be likely to decipher It, even if it were drop­ ped; but we will read it over together, and then destroy it But hark! That is sure­ ly Lord Fallerton’s voice! The footman -has shown him Into the drawing room. I must go and see him.” Just then the door of the library opened, and a footman announced to his master that Lord Fallcrton was in the drawing room, or else perhaps Mr. Charlford might have thrust the paper into his pocket. As it was. he allowed the servant to hold •open the door for his exit and that ;>f his brother, after which the trembling Mab was left alone. She was by this time wrought up to a high pitch of excitement. She was de­ voted to her elder brother Dick; she was, besides, very young and impulsive, and she fancied that her father and her uncle were plotting sonic thing against Dick. There was a secret, which he was nev■er to know, which, if he knew, he would be angry about* Ah, poor boy! But she ■would dare all fnr his sake! She would read the paper. Yes, it was wrong to do ■so—Mab felt that, even in this moment of excitement, but she was very impulsive. The girl was a good German scholar; it would be easy enough for her to decipher the few lines on the paper hidden within the drawer of her father’s writing table. Without a moment’s pause for consid­ eration, and gaining courage from the be­ lief that her father would be detained at least half an hour by Lord Fallerton. who was a great talker, the girl flew to the table, snatched out the paper and darted back behind the curtain to make herself mistress of its contents. Well might her hands tremble as she was. about to unfold it!—for Mab had nev•er in all her life been guilty of such an ac­ tion before, and but for her love of Dick, •which had blinded her for the time, and •for her father’s sternness, she would not Stave done this thing now. And, as if her ■repentance was to begin immediately, •oven before she was cognizant of that for which she had risked so much, she heard her father’s step, her father's voice: an;! .he entered the library, followed by Lord -Fallerton, his visitor. Half dead with fear, Mab thrust the let­ ter into her pocket, as she cowered behind •the shelter of the curtain. She could not ihave moved for very terror; she stood spellbound, yet she was fully conscious of what was going on in the room a few .paces from her. And then Unde John entered with some keys in his hand, and, going straight to the writing table, locked the drawer wp.ich be supposed held the very paper which aow lay at the bottom of Mab’s Barely bad she power left to creep from the library up to her own pretty cham­ ber, where she sank, exhausted, by her emotions, upon the foot of the bed. Pres­ ently footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by a knock, and then her two younger sisters presented themselves, sug­ gesting, a stroll. Mabe! was too much bewildered to re­ fuse the walk, stay behind, aud possess herself <jf the secret. She not be con­ tent to Walt till evening gave her a few quiet moments to herself, or till she went to bed. When bed time came and she had said good-night to her father, and her door was closed, and every one in the house supposed her to be asleep—then she would read the secret about Dick. Thus ran her thoughts as soon as she and her staters were walking across the fields with Miss Gray, the governess. The fresh air bsd a soothing effect on Mab; the color returned to her cheeks, and some portion of courage came back to her. But all the while her eyes roved over the landscape to see if Dick were any­ where at hand, and her thoughts were oc­ cupied with the letter lying In her pocket. CHAPTER II. A couple of hours had passed; Mab had returned from her walk, tea wa» over, and she was now changing her dress In order to appear in the drawing room for an hour with her sisters, Netta and Bella, before the late dinner. This was the only time in the day when Mr. Charlford bad any intercourse with his younger children, and Mab was still reckoned among them, for she was as yet only sixteen and a half. The girl dreaded this evening hour, when her father exam­ ined her In history and various other sub­ jects, looked at her drawings, eyed her dress critically, and told her of small shortcomings in her behavior. If she bad spoken or laughed too loudly on any occa­ sion, this was the time chosen for repri­ manding her—In fact, no pleasant asso­ ciations were connected wi(th the evening meeting with her father. She had been ready nearly five minutes, she heard the younger ones run down­ stairs, yet she lingered by her open win­ dow, shrinking from what must come, when a sharp ring at the front entrance startled her. What visitor could it be that came so late? She heard her own name called hastily by her eldest sister, Caro­ line. ’ * "Mab!” "Yes," stammered the agitated girl, go­ ing forward. "Where are you? Come downstairs at once!” said Caroline. "Something has happened. Father has had a telegram from a great friend of bis in Frankfort, and he is going to start for Germany this evening, nnd will be absent at least a month. You and I and Dick are to go and stay with Uncle John, while the younger ones will be sent with nurse and Miss Gray to the seaside." Mab did not answer. Her immediate sensation wgs one of intense relief. Her father going away for a month! It almost neutralized her reluctance to go to Uncle John’s. . * The incidents of the two or three hours which succeeded this startling intelligence passed with Mab like an unreal dream. The dinnpr was hastened. Ar soon as the meal was over the brougham drove round to take Mr. Charlford to the station, whither Dick was .to accompany him. “Now I will slip away and learn the secret!” thought Mab, but Caroline touch­ ed her on the shoulder. "Come and help me to move a few of my things, Mab. I must occupy your room to-night, and you cap sleep with Annette, for father had to go off in such haste that he had bis writing table carried into his dressing room, nnd his rooms will be lock­ ed up till his return. Poor Mab! She could not refuse; but this new arrangement meant that she would not be alone for one moment that night, as Annette, a very wakeful girl of ’fifteen, would be with her. The myste­ rious seevet seemed to be weighing her to the eqrth. How Important It must lie, to induce her father to order his writing table to be carried upstairs and his rooms to be locked up during his absence! Oh, for a conference with Dick! The hour for going to bed came too soon for Mab, for Dick had not returned; how­ ever, she could find no pretense for linger­ ing when Caroline said.vJtestil^: "Do go to bed, MabT/You will keep Netta awake; and we have to start early to-morrow.” And now a new difficulty arose for Mab. Where could she hide securely the paper which was in her pocket? What terrible agitation she experienced as her stater prepared for bed! With what tremulous feelings she removed her own dress, seek­ ing for the propitious moment in which to draw the paper from her pocket! But the maid's eyes and Netta’s were upon her, and Mab suffered so much from agi­ tation that she had lost her coolness and courage. v “Let me hang up your dress, Miss,” said the maid, taking the garment from Mab’s unwilling hand. With frightened gate the girl watched her while she was hanging the dress in the wardrobe, wondering all the time how soon she could creep out ot bed in the darkness, secure the terrible paper con­ taining the secret and keep It in her hand, if need be, till day broke. The next instant she was calling out in frantic dismay to the maid, “Jane, Jane, what are you doing?” and she was rush­ ing forward to pick up the paper which had already caused her so many pangs when Jane turned her dress iu hanging It ” Tls nothing, miss—only this bit of pa­ per," said Jane, in order to excuse her­ self, for she had crushed it in her hand in picking it up. In her agitation Mabel bad torn it from the maid, and it was rent almost in two. The girl could no longer contain herself.

The men were brought home for dis­ charge, haring been relieved by the de­ tachment that was carried to Manila last December. On the Buffalo were fortynine seamen who were on Dewey’s flag­ ship when the Spanish ships were destroy­ ed. No ceremonies of any sort marked the arrival of the vessel. As a matter of fact, it was not expected before another week's time. She made a remarkably fast voy­ age, being only forty-five days out from Manila. _____________________ STATE WILL DEFY NATION.

FIND D«cUrt that He Should Here Made Prompt Report— No Chemical* Used ta Preserve Meat — Ex-Commissary Wren* In Buying Untried Hatione. The lonj-drawn-oot inquirie* of th* xallitary court appointed to investigate the chart** made by Gen. Mile*.in retard to the beef eupplied the army during the war with Spain are at an eial and the finding* have been submitted to the Presi­ dent and approved. In its report the court censure* Gen. Miles for not reporting the unfttnesa of the rations at the time that the complaint* reached him. It declares that the refrigerator meat was not chem­ ically treated and bolds that the canned beef was good. . Gen. Eagan is severely scored for buying such immense quantities of an untried ration. The packers, are ex­ onerated, it being shown that they fur­ nished the same goods that they put on the general market. The court recom­ mends that no further action be taken in the matter, while it suggests that several persons have placed themselves liable to prosecution. The report is long and It reviews the conditions under w.hich the army operat­ ed, but it finds no excuse for the charges of Gen. Miles. Briefly stated, the report not only finds that Gen. Miles made false allegations against the War Department and the packers, but that he furnished no evidence to show that he bad any excuse for believing that these allegations were true. The court finds that there was overwhelming testimony to theTa'Ct that the refrigerated beef was not chemically treated, but was preferable in every way to the fresh beef killed in Cuba and Porto Rico: that this beef was not a serious cause of sickness; that the canned roast beef was not furnished under the pretense of an experiment, aud.that it was not beef pulp, from which the nutriment had "been taken for beef extract. It is admitted that canped roast beef wjuj no$ intended for a field radon, and that the' com'mTsiary general committed "a colossal error for which there is no palliation" in making such large purchases of this ration. In answering the questions propounded by the President to the court ar to the character of the rations, and who was re­ sponsible, the report censures only Gen. Miles for allegations which were untrue, and Gen. Eagan for purchasing 7,000,000 pounds of canned roast beef, considering the use that bad been made of it in the regular army. Regarding Eagan,' the court finds no ground for any imputation of any other actuating motive than the earnest desire to procure the best possible food for the troops. The court was un­ able to find any worthy motive for Miles’ mistake in making such allegations or any excuse for bis not reporting at once to the President or Secretary of War, if he be­ lieved his allegations were true. Throughout the fifty printed pages the report is a tempered scotching of the com­ manding general, showing him as an offi­ cer at the head of the army, who, without excuse, bore false testimony against the Government in its conduct of the war. The concluding paragraph in the summing up is in its mild phraseology a severe.cen­ sure upon Gen. Miles. The court says: "It has been developed in the course of the inquiry, as recited in this report, that In some instances certain Individuals fail­ ed to perform the full measure ot duty or to observe the proprieties which dignify high military command, but the court is of opinion that the mere statement in the official report of the facts developed meets the ends of discipline, nnd that the inter­ ests of the service will be best subserved If further proceedings bo not taken."

The start was made promptly at noon, jU>d several hundred people who did not bother with the land office officials made a race for the choice locations. Only 120 lined up at the land office.

Louis Gathmann. tbe Chicago inventor, achieved a remarkable triumph at Sandy Hook. A big cannon loaded with a gun cotton shell, to which was attached one of his special fuses, was fired. The gun was blown to pieces, but the shell remained in­ tact, showing that through tjie device of Mr. Gathmann, gun cotton shell* can be safely used in war as engines of destruc­ tion. The experiment further demon­ strated that gun cotton will not detonate when discharged by means of a high pres­ sure. It was believed the cruiser Vesuvius had made « nqw era in naval warfare when gun cotton shells were discharged by pneu­ matic pressure. In the Sandy Hook ex­ periment tbe gun was purposely exploded in order to demonstrate that gun cotton could be used with the minimum of dan­ ger. The element of safety was introduc­ ed by the Gathmann fuse. It is estimated that England's stock of coal will last 200 years longer, and North America’s GOO years. It is not likely, how­ ever, that these supplies will be needed, as it is probable that before many years have passed, power and heat, more econ­ omical and better, will be secured in other ways.

Many women suffer untold agony and misery because the natufe of their disease is not correctly understood. They have been led to’ believe that womb trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for the many ills that beset woman-kind. Neuralgia, nervoutmess, headache, puffy or dark circles wnder the eyes, rheumatism, a drugging pain or dull ache in the back, weakness or bearing­ down sensation, ju-ofuse or scanty supply* of urine with strong odor, fre­ quent desire to pass it with scalding or burning nrnsation, sediment in it after standing in a bottle or common glass lor twentv-four hours, are signs of kidnqy and bladder trouble. Thg above symptons are often attrib­ uted by the patient herself or. by her physican to female weakness or womb trouble. Hence, so many fail to obtain relief, because they are treating, not the disease itself, but a reflection of the primary cause, which is kidney trouble. In fact, women as well as men are made miserable with kidney and blad­ der trouble and both need the same remedy­ Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, and is easy to get at any drug store for fifty cents or one dollar.

Heavier Volume of Business Reported Poatmaater McLanahlin Ehot by Hi* Friend at Jamestown, Ohio. R. G. Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: "To speak truly of business this week, one must free the mind of stocks. ’ For a severe decline in manufac­ turing stocks has created an impression that it baa some relation to productive in­ dustry, but it has none. There was no change in the money market worth men­ tioning, and the volume of business shown. by payments through the principal clear­ ing bouses was 71.5/per cent larger-than in 1892, the year of greatest prosperity hitherto, which Is more than double the gain anybody considered possible a year ago. Never before reaching 230,000 tons per week, the iron manufacture reports May 1 an output of 250,095 tons weekly. Greater that^ in any previous year by 9.8 per cent, the actual shipments of boots and shoes from the East reflect a heavy business, with n general advance in prices. Hides at Chicago advanced about 1 per cent. Cotton is a shade stronger. Prices of wool arc said to have been gen­ erally advanced, with higher demands from the interior holders. Failures for the week have been 165 In the United - States, against 246 last year, and 20 in Canada, against 24 last year.” At Jamestown, Ohio, Postmaster Geo. A. McLaughlin is dead as tbe outcome of a thoughtless piece of “pleasantry,” killed by his most intimate friend. The Post­ master late the other night, with some boy friends, was putting a “tick-tack" on the window of the home of E. E. 'Ginn. Mr. Ginn, hearing the noise and thinking to frighten the boys, fired a shot through the window, killing Mr. McLaughlin in­ stantly. McLaughlin had been recently appointed postmaster. NINE SINK IN A SHIP. The acbooner Nelson, deeply laden with cargo of coal, foundered in a terrific gale in Lake Superior off Grand Marais, Mich. Nine lives were lost in this, the season's first serious lake disaster. The captain, Andrew Haghney, is the sole survivor, a dispatch from Deer Park announcing that he drifted ashore near that place. The Nelson, which was owned by tbe Mitchell Transportation Company of Bay City, and was fitted up at Toledo, Ohio, this apring, was, with the schooner Mary B. Mitchell, in tow of the steamer A. Fol­ som. The boats were on their first trip of the season, and had taken cargoes of coal at Ashtabula, Ohio. Tbe Folsom and Mitchell turned back aud did not sustain serious damage.

Fifty Persons Are Precipitated Thirty Durinc the performance ot the Buffalo Bill show at Cumminsville, Ohio, the roof of old Turner Hall, which commanded a view of the show from across the'ktreet, was covered with 300 spectators who had paid 5 cents each for the privilege. When the show was half through a portion of the roof, with fifty people on it, went down, a distance of thirty feet. Three are known to be dangerously hurt. All the others were more or less bruised and cut. After a confinement of about six years in a political prison in the republic of Co­ lombia, Archie McCarter, a civil engineer aud contractor prominent in Fort Scott, Kan., until 1891, when he left for Yuca­ tan, has been liberated and returned there. He has made a demand upon the Colom­ bian Government for *150,000 indemnity, and has gone to Washington to enlist the aid ot the Government in collecting it. McCarter bad been absent from his home city about three years before any word wan received from him. and then a letter addressed by him in a Colombian jail was received by a friend. It bore tbe censor mark of the commander of the prison, who, in a postcript, said that no commu­ nication would be allowed to pass to or from, the prisoner touching the cause of his confinement. Supposing him to hpve offended the Government in the promo­ tion of some big enterprise, no serious ef­ fort was made by bis friends to learn the facts in his case, and be being a man of no family, there was no one deeply enough interested to appeal to tbe Government for an explanation. He claims to have been thrown into jail on suspicion of being a filibuster, for which suspicion there was no ground, and declares he was denied a. hearing. . Bis Ohio Plant Burnt." .

Har­ vey’s unde aud grandmother lived a mile north of town. The murderer went there in the evening. He asserts that Pierson, his unde, was quarreling with his grand­ mother and that he interfered; that there­ upon Pierson stabbed and killed the old lady, aged 70, and that he (Harvey) re­ taliated by shooting his' unde. After shooting Pierson Harvey stabbed him three times. Harvey then returned to his' home, two miles southwest of town. Ar­ rived there he shot his wife twice, killing her. He then fired at his 3-months-old baby, the ball going into its arm. Next Harvey entered his father-in-law’s room and shot him twice, inflicting, however, no fatal injury. He then turned tbe re­ volver on himself, shooting himself In the neck. Harvey’s wife, when attacked, was sitting up with the remains of her mother, who died a few. hours before. Harvey was arrested.

Twenty tramps _________ in a drunken fight near the depot at Shelby, Ohio, the other evening aud two of them were bad­ ly shot, one receiving fatal wounds. The man seriously hurt gave -bis name as James O’Brien of 48 Clark street. New York. He waa shot near the heart, in the arm and leg. He says he is a laborer and was once a printer and reporter. The other man waa Laston L. Frady of In­ dianapolis, where he says he has a brother in the English Hotel. Frady was shot in the back. The most sensational acene ever enacted in Bellefontaine, Ohio, .took place on Main street the other day when Miss Minnie Crawford, - a milliner, assaulted Mayor Jchn R. Cassidy aud unmercifully lashed him with a rawhide. Some weeks ago Miss Crawford was subpoenaed as a wit-. Dess in a case in the Mayor’s court Miss Crawford did not testify in the case and afterward threatened to bring suit against those who had subpoenaed her. Mayor Cassidy was asked some time ago to vin­ dicate Miss Crawford, bat refused and, it is said, she has since been on the war­ path. She stationed herself at the Peo­ ple's Bank, and when Mayor Cassidy was about to start up the steps to his law office she rushed at him and. drawing the whip she had concealed in the folds .of-her dress, rained, blow after blow on his head and shoulders. Mayor Cassidy sought refuge in a drug store, but the woman followed and only desisted when caught and held by employes of tbe store. When released she walked out, disheveled and triumphant.

They are tbe City of Pueblo, the Zealandie, the Pennsylvania, the Nelson, the Cleveland and tbe St. Paul. Sick and wounded mefi are being brought home on The Cleveland and the Nelson are freight boats, but the others could, have brought volunteers if it bad been consid­ ered advisable to reduce the effective forces during the negotiations now being conducted with a view of ending further Filipino resistance to the American Gov­ ernment. Tbe Pennsylvania has been sta­ tioned several months at Cebu, and tbe St. Paul has been at Iloilo since fait These vessels will be returned to their owners when they reach San Francisco, aud as rapidly as possible ail the remain­ ing chartered vessels will be released. Gen. Otis cables: “Volunteers under­ stand they will begin to leave for the United States the latter part of the month; know importance of their presence here at this time and accept sacrifice which United States interests make imperative.’’ War Department officials say that the cable regarding the return of the volun­ teers Indicates that the troops are making no clamor to be sent home, but see the necessity of remaining tiatil they can be relieved by the regulars now on their way and to be sent to Mauila as soon as they can be shipped. There have been m.any applications from the West to have the volunteers brought home by the Suez canal route. A Wash­ ington dispatch says investigation show? that it is impracticable. Tlie Suez canal route is a much longer route than that across the Pacific and the men would be kept on the transports from ten to fifteen or twenty days longer than if they came across the Pacific. The distance is -esti­ mated to be about 8,000 miles longer by the Suez canal route than across the Pa­ cific, and at this season of the year it is considered more unsafe, owing to climatic conditions, especially for the troops who have been in the tropical climate of the Philippines. The greater part of the voy­ age would have to be made through the tropical climate even farther south than Manila, as they would have to skirt the southern coast of Asia, where plague spots exist at all times and especially In the summer season. By the ot^er route, the transports can sail north to Japan, and then across tbe Pacific, in a more salubri­ ous climate, which will make the voyage beneficial to the men. The expensive tolls at the Suez canal make the Pacific route the more economical. The War Department has, therefore, been constrained to deny these requests, and to bring the volunteers home by the Pacific route. As a majority of tbe vol­ unteers are from the West, they will also have a shorter railroad journey before them when they land in San Francisco. Gen. Lawton has established a Filipino government at Balinay, a council compos­ ed of Filipinos, and a mayor being elected. Americans are not to be held responsible for remuneration to the officials. To such an extent as the natives conduct their affairs in a manner the Americans consid­ er proper, they will not be interfered with. This has been promised them.

The May returns to the statistician of the Department of Agriculture show the acreage In winter wheat in cultivation on May 1 to have been about* 2."-,900,000 acres. This is about 4,000,000 acres less than the area estimated to have been sown last fall, but it still slightly exceeds the area of winter wheat harvested last year. The reduction in acreage in the principal States, as compared with the area seeded last fall, is as follows: Kansas, 868,000; Illinois, 761,000; In­ diana. 394,000; Missvnri, 345,000; Texas, 227,000; Ohio, 149,000; Nebraska. 144,­ 000; Michigan, 128,000; Wisconsin, 120,­ 000: Tennessee, 105,000. Tbe condition in the principal States, after reducing the acreage as indicated, is as follows: Pennsylvania, 86; Maryland. 83; Vir­ ginia, 78; Texas, 67; Tennessee, 78; Ken­ tucky. 76; Ohio, 82: Michigan, 60, In­ diana, 68; Illinois, 54; Missouri, 65; Kan­ sas, 64; California, 96; Oklahoma. 86. Spring plowing is unusually late in al­ most every part of the country. The work already done is estimated at 57.2 per cent of the total contemplated. The propor­ tion usually done by May 1 is about 75 per cent of the whole. A CONFERENCE ON TRUSTS.

Point* About Growing Potatoes.*1 The quantity of seed potatoes re­ quired for an acre will depend a great deal upon the size of the potatoes and the size of the pieces each seed potato is cut into at planting time. As a gen­ eral rule it requires from ten to twelve bushels planted in rows 3 feet apart and 18 inches apart tn the row. This is supposing that the potatoes are of medium size and are cut so that each piece will have two. or three eyes. The land should De rich. Loam well fer­ tilized with stable manure is as good as any soil that can.be hath If the po­ tatoes can be planted on clover sod, so much the better.

The illustration, from the American Agriculturist, shows a kind of fence panel with which either small or large yards can be made for pasturing pigs out of doors tn summer—a fence that can be taken up and moved to a new location when It is desired to move the occupants of the pen to new ground. The posts of each panel of fence extend about twenty inches below the lowest board, and are sharpened. If desired, hooks and staples can be placed on each end part, so that two panels can be hooked together at tbe corners.

I have a good wind pump on the north side of the house, about four yards away. It is over a good well which seldom, if ever, goes dry. The water is soft. The water Is forced through a two-lnch piping up into the house tank, which is a large galvanized tank In die kitchen. Lt has a box frame over It and a large lid to cover It up’. When tlie tank lacks just a few Inches from running over in the house it be­ gins to flow out at a standing pipe. It flows through piping under the ground to tbe cellar. It goes in at a piping to the milk trough. It flows to the lower end of the cement trough, and then when the trough is so full It begins to run out, but still leaves a certain amount in the trough. After It leaves the cellar It flows through piping under the ground to the lower side of the horse lot, where It comes up tn the large tank. There are two other tanks on the place that this same pump fills. Now. we have everything full of fresh water, and you may be sure that the MANY DIE IN WRECK. MICHIGAN 8OL0N8.

A call at tbe Hoqre ON EASTERN ROAD. was ordered and feet Awful Death ported Kilted and Fifty Injured. A collision of passenger trains occurred on tbe Philadelphia and Reading Railroad at Exeter, about six miles south of Read­ ing, Pa.. Friday night, and the number ot killed was stated- to be twenty-five. Fully fifty others arc injured. ' The regular express train from Potts­ ville to Philadelphia connected at the sta­ tion In Reading with a train from Harris­ burg, which was crowded with excursion­ ists who bad been to the State capita! to witness the ceremonies in connection with the unveiling of the Hartrpnft monument. Many of the Harrisburg passengers at Reading went aboard the Philadelphia ex­ press, but, it being found that ail could not be accommodated, it was decided to send an extra train to Philadelphia to run as the second section of the express. The extra train left twenty minutes later than the express. At Exeter the express stopped for orders, and while standing still the extra train crashed into it while moving at great speed. Three of the rear cars of the express were tele­ scoped and the first car of the extra train was also wrecked. The passenger* in these cars were terribly mangled, many being killed outright, While others had limbs and bodies maimed. W°rd was at once sent to Reading and a special train with physicians and nurses was sent to the scene as quickly ns it could possibly be put in readiness. According to the account of the passen­ gers the engine of the second train plow­ ed through the rear car of the first train, then through the parlor car aud half way through the third car.

ADULTERATION OF FOOD. Startling Testimony Given Before the Senate Investigating Committee. The senatorial pure fowl investigating committee, which has concluded its ses­ sions in Chicago, heard some startling testimony in regard to adulteration of food products. Prof. A. 8. Mitchell, chief chemist of the Wisconsin Dairy and Food Commission, made the sworn statement that nearly every butcher in Illinois used preserving liquids on scraps of meat which they laid aside for the manufacture of hamburger steak. This liquid, known as “freezine.” Dr. Wiley, the Government expert, said he identified as practically the same chemical which was used during his experience at a medical college to pre­ serve cadavers and was now occasionally put to service in disinfecting houses where smallpox patients resided. Pref. Mitchell sold thnt tbe stuff had b?en used exten­ sively by farmers to keep milk and but­ ter. J. J. Berry, manufacturer of jellies, pre­ serves and syrup, testified that fruit was one of the least considerations in the mod­ ern jelly of commerce. Currant jelly, as a rule, has nothing in it that ever saw a currant bush. Jelly, Berry said, is 50 per cent glucose. 10 per cent ^ugar. 10 per cent apple juice and a few drops of color­ ing and acid to make it firm. Prof. C. S. N.

An amendment to-the'garnishee law went through the Hous«> at the evening aesslon, doing sw?y with the present-exemptions. The preeent exemption being $25 a week, while the amendment only exempts men of family up to the sum of $6 a week. The change was sought by a large number of btudnes* men throughout the State, Jnd was bitter­ ly opposed by the labor representatives, who declared that it was Intended to take the bread out of the mouths of poor fami­ lies. The Senate killed the bill providing ’ that supervisors shall be paid salaries In­ stead of fees. The vote bn the bill was reconsidered, so that there may be an­ other effort to pass it. The Senate on Tuesday passed tbe’In­ come tax bill, which applies to both indi­ viduals and corporations. The tax is lev­ ied on the income of corporations, as non­ resident stockholders cannot be reached in any other way. The income from stock insuch corporations is to be deducted from the gross income of resident stockhold­ ers for the purpose of farther taxation. The rates fixed in the bill are of 1 per cent on incomes of from $1,000 to $2,500; • % of 1 per cent on from $2,500 to $5,000, and 1 per cent on all in excess of $5,000. The House advanced to third reading a. bill applying the principles of the Inter­ state commerce law to Michigan with a view to preventing discrimination in rates. The Senate on Wednesday passed the anti-trust bill, which prohibits the organ­ ization in Michigan of any trust or com­ bination designed to prevent competition or control prices. All such combinations are declared to be conspiracies agniflsf trade, and the penalty runs -against any person who, as agent or otherwise, aids in the business, as well as against the prin­ cipal. Violations are punishable by for­ feiture of the right of the corporation to do business in the State, while individuals ara_to be subject to a fine of from $30 to $5,w0, or imprisonment from six months to one year. Each day’s violation is made a separate offense. The Wagar bill for taxing earnings of railroads, which is intended to, In a meas­ ure, take the place of the Pingree-Atkin­ son railroad taxation act, declared un­ constitutional by the Supreme Court, pass­ ed the Senate on Thursday and went to the House. Under Its provisions railroad taxes are graded according to the gross income per mile, increased somewhat from the present rates under the same system. This bill, as variously amended, is far from satisfactory to Gov. Pingree, as. if enacted, it will increase the tax receipts from railroads only in a small degree. The Governor will veto any measure concern­ ing railroad taxation unless a resolution submitting to the people the question of a revision of the State constitution be pass­ ed at the same time. The Governor’s in­ tention is to have the State constitution so amended that a law similar to the At­ kinson act, under which the railroads can. be taxed, will withstand the scrutiny of the Supreme Court. A taxation bill, to meet the Governor's approval, must also provide for a State assessing board. Among the bills recently passed by the Senate are the following: Senator Loomis—To provide that tax on insurance compahies be levied on the net premium instead of on the gross premium, as heretofore. Mr. Goodrich—To specify what authori­ ties shall issue medical diplomas and to kill fake medical colleges. Senator Ward—Providing for the Incor­ poration of Mennonlte churches. Senator A. G.

SITUATION AS VIEWED BY R. Q. DUN & CQ. R. G. Dun & Co-’s weekly review of trade aaya: '’While tbe buying of 200,000 tons of Bessemer pig at Pittsburg gave reason for the advance in price to $10.50, with gray forge quoted at >15 per ton, it is not quite as clear as it might be that the «Otput, which was 255,000 tons weekly, according to the Pittsburg record, and has since been largely increased by tbe addi­ tion of many furnaces, will continue to fall below the demand. For the require­ ment in various departments for manu­ factured products, it must be recognized, la scarcely measurable, and does not seem as much diminished as might be expected by higher prices and long delay in deliv’ ery. The shipments of boots andj»hoe» from the East have been, for two weeks of May. 22 per cent larger than last year and 50.9 per cent larger than in 1802. Leather shows hesitation. Speculators are doing a large business in wool, some foreign and some American. Tbe orders for woolen goods are decidedly better. Cot­ ton declined a small fraction, owing to freer port movement; but there was a re­ covery., of all the decline in middling up­ lands and a net gain in option prices. Failures for the week have been 147 in the United States, against 250 last year, and 17 in Canada, against 29 last year." MOTHER AND SON DIE. The charred remains of Mrs. Rachel Austin and-her sou William were recov­ ered from the ruins of their burned home in Zane township, Ohio, and the youngest son, Ernest, aged 24 years, has a bullet j hole in his breast. ..The family of Wesley j Haines, a farmer, was aroused by some: one knocking at the door. MY. Haines an•wered the call and found Ernest Austin, I faint from a bullet wound in his breast, j He said that about an hour before he had ’ been called to the door by a robber and shot in tbe chest. Austin continued in broken sentences to say that the home was In flames and his mother and brother *ere no doubt dead. With this Austin swoon­ ed away and was carried into tbe house. Mr. Haines then went to the Austin home­ stead. about half a mile distant, and there found the burning timbers and debris or the once comfortable home. The neigh­ borhood was aroused and in the ruins were found the charred bodies of Mrs. Rachel Austin and her son William. DETERMINED TO END HIS LIFE. Henry Christiansen twice attempted to kill himself at the home of his sweetheart, Anna Smith, in Omaha. He had been engaged to tbe young woman, but she de­ cided not to-marry him. When ChristianBen called the other night he found that Miss Smith bad two visitors. • He secured a rope, tied* it around hi* neck and hanged himself to a transom in the hallway. He was cut down by Miss Smith and the two men who had called to see her. Christian­ sen was quiet for a time, but at length he seized the lamp and hurled it at the young woman and set the house on fire. The ““flames were quickly extinguished. Chris­ tiansen then hanged himself to the tran­ som again and was again cut down. He The* standing of the clubs in the Na­ tional" League race is as follows: W. L. W.

A St. Louis policeman found a 9-yearold boy crying and wandering around on the street and took him to the station.

Special dispatches Proni Washington In­ dicate! that there are difference* between the Cubans and American* of a nature so tense that only the greatest tact and abil­ ity, coupled with a compromising dispo­ sition on both sides, will be able to solve them without results of a grave nature. This seems to be the opinion at the War Department, although officials refuse to discuss tbe situation publicly. There is less criticism of Gen. Gome* than there was. It is believed that the old general Is still pro-American, but that the opposi­ tion of the other Cuban generals has dis­ couraged him. Although.tbe course of Gen. Brooke is not approved in all ite details by hi* su­ periors. there is no disposition to criticise him for demanding that the Cubans give up their arms. This measure is approved as a necessary one, and if all difference* of opinion are to be traceable to this order it is quite likely that Brooke will be sus­ tained by the' home Government. Bnt the threat to disarm the former Cuban soldiers by force, if necessaryj is not ap­ prove, the policy being to placate rathej than irritate, nud Gen. Brooke, more than likely, will be advised to keep this policy firmly-in mind. A conflict with the Cubans Is not desir­ ed. and will be avoided, if possible. It is said that President McKinley has been informed of the situation bZGen. Alger, and that the President himself will take a hand in unraveling the knotted skeins. The Cubans must be treated with great patience. They lack stability of purpose and other sterling characteristics. Recog­ nition of this fact is deemed requisite in handling the questions that have arisen. Washington advices say that the Govern­ ment is prepared to establish its author­ ity 1u Cuba at ail hazards, although anx­ ious to avoid conflict. Such conflict, It is generally conceded, would postpone indefi­ nitely the independence of the island. Secretary Alger'cabled Gen. Brooke asking him for a statement as to tht* re­ ported troubles .in Cuba. Of the charges against Gen. Brooke made bj- the Cu­ bans. th«- Secretary said not one of these had yet been made, and added: “People who are put under a necessary restraint are apt to complain of undue restraint." The Cubans sny they are willing to give up their arms to Cuban officials, but under n<> circumstances will they yield them to the Americans. They point to the fact that every move by the Americans tends To Americanize the island. Americans are faveged for government positions; Ameri­ can signn go over the new offices, and the American grip is tightening on everything. Cubans feel that they are being brow­ beaten and forced into tbe background. They are ready to fight again for indepen­ dence if it is necessary. War, they say, is not desired, but unless an honorable proposition is made promptly it cannot be averted. Liter derelopment, Sj, lb. »rr~t ot t»« dangerous gang of counterfeiter* at Phila­ delphia and Lancaster by officer* under lb. diree-aoo Ot Chief Wilkie ot the tmt .erelee ,bow tbet the leok w«« ebect to put into operation-one of the bo.dett and most daring schemes ever contemplated by criminals. Tbe plan was to manofaelure >10.000.000 io 120, $50 »d $100 note*. Jacobs, the leader, worked on th* theory that every man could be purchas­ ed, and it was his intention after making this large amount of money to buy a re­ ceiving teller in a subtreasury, deposit th* counterfeits in sum* of not les* Than $190,­ 000, take a certificate of deposit, and draw against them, receiving genuine money in return. This daring scheme wa* being worked out, and when Mr. WUkle and his assistants interrupted it they found a $50 plate completed which was even better than the plate from which th* $100 counterfeits were printed and which baffled the skill of experts. Three men had the machinery for making paper which is almost an exact counterpart of that used by the Government. It is esti­ mated by the commissioner of internal revenue that the Government lost about $240,000 as a result of the work of Coun­ terfeiter Jacob* and bis gang. Four wornout plates were found In the posses­ sion of these men, each of which is capable of printing 40,000 sheets of ten stamp* each. This made 1,600,000 stamps, each of which could be used for stamping a box containing fifty cigars, making 80,000.000 which have perhaps been sold under-.coun­ terfeit stamps at $1 per thousand less than the market price, thus,, making a tremen­ dous profit since they escaped paying tho revenue tax of $3.65 per thousand. The paytfent of the $20,000,000 to Spain in return for the Philippine* com­ pletes the sixth great land purchase to which the United States has been a party. Just ninety-six years ago President Jef­ ferson began the thrifty practice by pay­ ing $15,000,000 for Louisiana, thus more than doubling the national domain. By assuming claims of American citizens against Spain to the amount of $5,000,000 President Monroe secured Florida, and as a part of the same deal Spain relinquished all claim to territory north of California. President Polk gave $18,250,000 for New Mexico and California.in 1848 and in 1853 President Pieree paid $10,000,000 for that part of Arizona and New Mexico south of the Gila river. President Johnson gwre $7,200,000 for Alaska in 1867. In assum­ ing the national debt of Hawaii the Unit­ ed States has practically paid cash for those Islands. Porto Rico is the ouly pos­ session which has not been directly pur­ chased. The Department of Agriculture has en­ couraging reports as to tbe condition of winter grain in Europe. From some points in Russia there have been com­ plaints of Insufficient rainfall, but on the whole the condition of the wheat crop i* represented as being satisfactory. Ger­ many appears to be the only important country in Europe where .there is a doubt as to the condition of the cereal crops. There considered® damage seems to have been done and the crop may be short. Th* outlook for India is for considerably les* than a normal crop. The harvesting for 1899 is practically concluded in India. The Department of Agriculture testifie* to the apparent authenticity of an esti­ mate of 70,000,090 bushel* of wheat for Argentina, of which between 45,000,000 and 55,000,000 bushels will "be available for export- Up to June 30, 1898, the Government had expended $2,610,921 in printing tho official records of the Unionand Confederste armies, and It is estimated by Pub­ lic Printer Palmer that before the work is completed the total expenditure will probably exceed $3,000,000. Thi* is $1,­ 000,000 more than the total amount ap­ propriated by Congress for the erection AGUINALDO IN HIDING. of a new Government printing office, work on which will begin within a few days.

Men are arriving iu shoals daily and are almost instantly absorbed. All of the new mines are looking for skilled workmen and tho railroad construction which is go­ ing on gives employment to unskilled la­ bor. House room, sleeping room aud standing room are nt a premium. Private houses, halls and skating rinks have been turned into hotels and dormitories, yet the supply .is inadequate and hundreds are sleeping in box cars and stables, under railroad culverts and in shanties thrown together of odds and ends. Victim Was Mr*. W. A. Maine*. The woman who jumped to death from the sixth story veranda of the Battle Creek Sanitarium was Mrs. W. A. Haines of Detroit. She was suffering from nerv­ ous prostration, aud had been stopping at one of the cottages, but slipped away, aud, going to the top of the- veranda, made the fatal jump.

Darrough gave Walker a severe beating. When the men were separated Walker drew a revolver and shut Dar­ rough in tbe back. The wound is uot a serious one. The village of Carrolton has decided to abandon its organization and go back to the old township form .of government. Its sawmills have burned down, and the lum­ ber industry has long been on the wane, and the people in-that vicinity are turning to agricultural pursuits. A terrible loss of life, was narrowly averted on the Northwestern road at La­ throp, when the north-bound passenger train, running nt a speed ot fifty miles an hour, crashed into the end of an ore train that had broken in two while going on to n siding to permit a passenger train to pass. The passenger engineer saw the flagman’s signal too late to bring bis train to a stoj?and it run into the ore train, smashing a caboose and several ore cars and damaging the engine, but fortunately none-of the passengers or train crew were hurt. Forest fires have been raging to the west and south of Iron Mountain. A fire northwest of the dty was started by a wood chopper leaving a camp fire aud the wind, which was blowing a small-sized gale, fanned it into a conflagration. A stretch of half a mile wide and throe miles long was all ablaze. Three farms owned by Edward Harvey, Theodore Jacques and Richard Bennetts were in the path and tbe buildings and stock were saved only by hard work. Another fire started near the compressor works on the Menom­ inee river, south of the city, and burned considerable standing pine and cut hard wood. Five hundred employes of the twentyone miles on the Menominee river and bay shore struck. The strike in .far a 20 per cent increase in wages. In all in­ stances the demands were refused, except by Hardiug Bros., the Menominee River Lumber Company and oue or two other concerns. The foremen of all the mills af­ fected by the strike any they will start up again as soon ns help can be secured. The men on a strike are shingle sawyers, ahinglemakers and knot sawyers. The shin­ gle sawyers receive $2.50 a day and want $3. The shinglcmakers receive 7 cents a thousand and want 8 cents, while the knot sawyers are getting $1.75 a day and ask for $2. The steeple on the First M. E. Church at Battle Creek, the tallest spiro in that city, is being torn down because of its u» safe condition.

Nartea of th© Great Power* PI** a Series of Demonstrations—England Will Aak a^Visit by the Admiral's Flagship Olympia. From prerfsnt appearances the trip of Admiral Dewey from Manila to New York will be a demonstration of enthu­ siasm half way' around the world. The Inherent admiration for a true hero will manifest itself in outburst* of acclaim at every port in which the. nervy little man from Vermont may choose to put his flag­ ship. By the time he reaches New York City to receive the greatest ovation ever tendered to anybody he will have been the recipient of the tribute of nation*. The Sues canal,, by which Admiral Dewey will come home, will bring him not only through tbe Asiatic waters, where there are numerous ships of war of other nations, but through the Mediterranean, where extensive squadrons of the navies of Europe are stationed. Already Ambassador Cambon of France has sent official notification from Wash­ ington to Paris that Admiral Dewey Is soon to sail from Manila, and of the prob­ able sailing of the flagship Olympia past the French naval ports in Algiers. The flower of the French navy, which is gath­ ered there, will show Dewey some stretches of enthusiasm that may prepare him for what he is due to get when he comes Ln sight of Sandy Hook. Just opposite the French possessions in Algiers are the British naval stations at the entrance of the Mediterranean—Gib•raltar and Malta—where It Is certain that Admiral Dewey will'put in to coal. What the Johnny Bull sea dogs will do to him I* not a question of doubt Not content with getting the hero to stop at this sta­ tion, the English Government will try to get him to stop at Plymouth, the south­ ern naval depot of England. But the greeting of his foreign friends will not dull the edge of the reception to be accorded Admiral Dewey when he reache* New York. From all part* of the SURGERY’S TBIUMPH8. Patient* Becovering After Loving Oa» of tbe Jugular Vein*. Two operations of an extremely rare and dangerous character were performed during the last fortnight at the New York eye and ear Infirmary, «nd the two pa­ tients, a boy a*d * girl, are ms the road to recovery. The operation was the re­ moval of one of the jugular veins, a sur­ gical feat first attempted three years ago, and one In which more than 90 per cent of the cases have resulted fatally. Madeline Burns, 17 years old, had more than four inches of her left jngalar vein removed nine days ago, and is now certain of recovery, everything in her case work­ ing out favorably. William Jennings, 19 years eld, was taken to the hospital suffer­ ing from necrosis of the bone behind the left ear. Three inches of diseased bone was removed from the patient’s skull and an abscess in tbe brain was ent out. It was then seen that the removal of the left jugular vein was imperative, owing to the formation within It of three dot* of blood, which, unless removed, would inevitably result In death. Daring the operation the patient lost whatever consciousness had remained af­ ter the administration of the 'drugs, and twice hfs pulse disappeared altogether. By mean* of Injections and artificial res­ piration the patient was restored and th* operation concluded, and it is now consid­ ered reasonably certain that he will re­ cover. In both of these cases the right jugu­ lar vein will be compelled to do double duty, and should both survive the patients will Increase the number of those who in the whole world are living with one jug­ ular to fire. According to the medical rec­ ords, only three have survived hitherto. DR. BRIGGS IS ORDAINED. Former Presbyterian Is Admitted to Episcopal Priesthood.

FOOT UP LOSSES IN CUBA. Foreign Resident* Have Claim* Argregntlng Million*. The State Department has been inform­ ally advised that claims aggregating a con­ siderable amount bare been made by the British. French and German residents in Cuba during the recent insurrection, and that these ultimately will be pressed against the United States Government. The French claims aggregate between 12,­ 000,000 and 15,000.000 francs. The Ger­ man claims are understood to be slightly under those of the French, while the Brit­ ish claims are said to be considerably more than either the French pr German. These foreign claims are quite distin t from those of citizens of the United States, originally against Spain, for dam­ ages sustained in Cuba during tbe insur­ rection. The peace treaty specifically pro­ vided for these American claimants, re­ leasing Spain and stating that the United । States would make such settlement as was proper. Under this clause claims ag­ gregating several millions have been filed. No provision, however, was made by the treaty for foreign claimants, and there appears to be much doubt as to who Is lia­ ble since the sovereignty over Cuba has passed out of the hands of Spain. A GIGANTIC RAILWAY TRUST. The Railway* of Five State* to Be Co­ der One Management. In the course of a few weeks it is ex­ pected that a railroad trust will control all the line* between Boston and Chicago. Tbe principal object of the consolidation is to prevent rate cutting, and in this re­ spect the trust will take the place of the Joint Traffic Association which the Su­ preme Court of the United 'States decided last fall was an illegal organization. Tbe Vanderbilt, the Pennsylvania and the Baltimore and Ohio lines each control a great many short lines, aud these giants are now negotiating the trust which will virtually place under one executive man­ agement all the railways in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. While the lines will all be under one ex­ ecutive management each of tbe three big systems will directly control the smaller line* along it* main ar.eriea. CUBANS ADVISED TO KEEP ARMS Oeaeral* A***il United 8t«te* and Paa* Some Resolution*. Two hundred and fifty representatives of the Cuban army, under the leadership of Gen. Mayia Rodrigues, held a meeting in Havana to discuss the question of dis­ armament. Among those present were Gens. Lacret, Leyte, Vidal, Secades and BoleL The speakers were extremely bit­ ter against the United States. Both Gen. Kudriguez and Gen. I-arret declared that it was tbe purpose of the United States to disarm them and then force term*. tion—Dr. Charles A. Briggs, the Union Theological Seminary professor, who has been accused of being a heretic because he doubted certain passages in the Bible. Tbe clergymen who objected to the or­ dination made no protest against Dr. Briggs In the procathedral. They were not there. No one else rose in the church to make any objection. Rev. D. Van Win­ kle of St Clement’s, Rev. F. M. Clendennin of St. Peter’s. Westchester, and Rev. D. B. F. Da Costa, who so rigorous­ ly opposed the reception ot the Presbyte­ rian minister into the field, took no steps toward interfering with the ceremony. The church was crowded. There were many curiosity seekers, who believed that something in the way of a "scene" might occur, but the bulk of those present were parishioners. There were number* of clergymen of different denominations in the congregation. Queer Thing* Th*t Happen. W. V. Smith of Florence, Kan., claims to have the longest whiskers in the world. Falling face downward into a washtub of water, a Sacramento, Cal., baby was drowned. Tattooing resulting in blood poisoning caused the death of Louis M. Forbes of London. Three robins got in the pipes of a Bour­ nemouth church organ and caused discord­ ant music. R. Merrill of Fresno, Cal., sat on a can of dynamite and smoked a cigarette. He is dead now. A 110-acre burial ground for animals and birds has been established at Cox­ sackie, N. Y. Eleven years after burial the body of a Niagara woman was disinterred and found to have been petrified. After sixteen years Harry Frei, an ab­ ducted heir, tamed up in Knoxville and laid claim to a fortune. A silver foxskin was sold In London last week for $1,750 at auction. This is the highest price on record. A little girl of Skippack, Pa., fell on the sharp edge of a teakettle the other day and cut off the end of her nose. As Goliath was slain, so was 8. H. Ruhlen of Marysville, Ohio, who was killed by a pebble from a small boy’s sling. A North Carolina woman dropped dead in ehurcb while she was standing with her child In her arms to have it baptized. A Georgia man struck his funny bone against a wagon wheel the other day and has since been speechless with paralysis. Eight-year-old Lizzie McKenney of Bristol, Pa., tried to outdo her playmates by jumping rope 300 times. She over­ taxed and strained herself and died soon after. A convict just pardoned from the West Virginia penitentiary got out last Decem­ ber, filled an engagement to play the fiddle at * Christmas eve dance and came back to prison next day. What was supposed to be a strange dis­ ease that was killing sheep in Wabash County, Indiana, turns out to be porcu­ pine gras*, which punctured the sheep’* skin* and poisoned them. MICHIGAN SOLONS. The House began the week’s session in * business-like way. Though it was Mon­ day a quorum was secured in the after­ noon without a call of the House, and a lot of badness was disposed of in commit­ tee of tbe whole. The soldiers' home ap­ propriation was agreed to at $287,500. In the bill for a Michigan exhibit at the To­ ledo exposition, 1903, the number of com-' missioners was reduced from 12.to 5. The expense of tbe commission was limited to $1,000, and then Representative ilcKay moved to strike out all after the. enacting clause, which was carried. The bill was tabled for another trial. Whitney’s bill providing for opening highways across railway tracks was agreed to. It provides that railway companies shall be allowed $25 for each opening of that kind. Rep­ resentative Burch had a bill providing that electric railway companies might con­ demn nnd acquire toll bridges in case no agreement could be reached for such cross­ ing, in same manner as railroad" com-, panics condemn rights of way. The bill was killed. Colby’s bill to make chattel mortgage sharks advertise sales of goods in foreclosure proceedings was killed/The Senate killed two bills in the evening on third reading, one to facilitate the iuspeetion and to prevent the removal of town-­ ship, city and county records for the pur­ pose of evidence in. courts, introduced by Representative Keep. The other was Sen­ ator Sayre’s bill for the swearing of prop­ erty owners by assessing officers. The Railroad Committee of the House on Tuesday favorably reported a bill in­ creasing the specific taxes of railroads $119,000 annually. After killing Speaker Adams’ resolution providing for a commis­ sion to investigate and report to the Leg­ islature next January, the House post­ poned action on taxation bills until the following Tuesday. It was officially an­ nounced that if the Governbr’s taxation program were not adopted .he would con­ vene tbe Legislature in special session as soon as It adjourned. Nothing in the shape of specific,,taxation that does not yield nn additional $1,006,000 a year will meet the Governor’s approval. Gov. Pingree sent another special mes­ sage on the taxation question to the Leg­ islature Wednesday afternoon. It was Inspired by the fact that be has been ad"vised by Judges Cahill and Speed that, in their opinion, valid bill taxing railroads and other property cannot be drawn un­ der the present constitution. He recom­ mends the submission of an amendment under which this system of taxation can be provided; the holding of a »i>eciul elec­ tion to decide on a general revision of the constitution; the creation of a perma­ nent State board to review as^ssments and advise the Legislature as to the value of railroad property, etc., and th*.1 passage of an emergency bill increasing the spe­ cific tax rates so that the railroads will pay an additional tax of $1,006,000 annu­ ally, this law to stand until the constitu­ tion is amended. In view of the increas­ ed, appropriations the Governor renews his recommendation that an income tax law .be enacted. . In the House on Thursday the reports of the majority and minority of the com­ mittee which investigated the expenditure of the war fund were read, leading to vig­ orous debates. The majority report ad­ mitted that prices paid tor meat, groceries, blankets, clothing, etc., were higher than those paid by other States, and that no bids were asked for, but it excused this on the ground of hurry aud excitement incident to equipping the troops. The minority report was much more severe, finding no excuse for these shortcomings, and severely criticising the Governor for purchasing needless clothing for the Thir­ ty-fifth regiment and selling Pingree & Smith shoes to the military department. Both reports recommend the appointment of a commissary general to look sifter the subsistence of troops in camp, and the minority recommended that State officials be burred from dealing wflh any State department. The Pingree men made a stubborn but unsuccessful effort to pre­ vent the reading and printing of the mi­ nority report nnd to secure the adoption of the majority report. The motion to adopt was tabled, and the reports will be acted upon later. Bills to abolish contract labor tn prisons, to employ convicts in making binder twine and to label all goods made in prisons were recommefuled in the House. The Ways and Menus Committee of the House on Friday recommended the pas­ sage of a bill providing, extra compensa­ tion a' the rate of 48 cents a day for ev­ ery Michigan soldier below the rank of commissioned officer who served during the Spanish-American war. Each man is to be paid from the date of his enlistment until he was mustered out. It Is estimat­ ed that the men will receive from $75 to $125 each and that the bill will require an appropriation of $775,000. The Governor has signed the following bills: To revise and amend the charter of the city of Flint. To amend an oct regulating the catching of fish in the waters of this State by the use of {Hind or trap nets, gill nets, zeins, or other apparatuses.

Viola Horiocker, the handsome youag stenographer of Hastings, Neb., who is accused of attempting to poison the wit* sf her employer, has been bound over to the District Court in tbe sum of $5.­ 060. The prosecu­ tion claims it has a clear case. It is un­ derstood that it will be argued that the girl was infatuated with her employer MISS nOBLOCKEK. aud sought to re­ move his wife. ’Miss Horlocker’s friends repel with indignation the allegation that she is guilty, or contend that if she be guilty she was insane. This interesting young woman, until her arrest, was one of the social leaders of Hastings. Her at­ torneys sought to have the preliminary hearing at her home,*alleging »hat she was too- ill to appear. Judge Bowen said that if she was tiot produced vylthin the hour die would send tbe sheriff after the young woman and put her in jail. A carriage was at once sent aud the defendant was brought In. - The arrest at Johannesburg of seven English officers indicates that the Boer* have decided uot to give the Uitlanders a chance to organize an­ other J amt-son raid. The plans for that illfated expedition were laid iu the early au­ tumn of 1895. Rifles, Maxim guns aud field pieces were gathered and a military camp established. Dr. Jamesou fully believed that when he appeared with his men thou­ sands would rally to his' aid. He set out on Dec. 29. 1895, with 5<J0 men. On Jan. 2 the invading party were met by th* Boers, who, after thirty-six hours’of fight­ ing. forced them to surrender. Jameson and his band -were arrested. They were received as heroes in London, and, after a trial, were sentenced to a few months’ imprisonment without hard labor. Congressman A. J. Hopkins of Illinois, who is a candidate for Speaker of the next Congress, was born near Cortland, De Kalb County. III.'. His father. C. H. Hopkins, was a well-to-do farmer, having come from Ireland in the early ’20s. The son began life as a farm hand. When 17 he went to col- i lege. He became j a lawyer, then got f elected to Congross, and the ’’ lanky, red-headed HOI-KIN'. young lawyer from Aurora has become one of the most polish­ ed and attractive figures in the House. When Chairman Dingley of the Ways and Means Committed died the Illinois delega­ tion presented Hopkins' name for the place, but by right of seniority It went to Payne. Captain Wilde and Gen. Miller, the navy and army men who have disputed as to which belongs the honor of capturing Iloilo. Admiral Kautz is the commander of the American naval forces in Samoa. His letters to his near relatives iu this coun­ try severely criticis­ ing the German con­ sul general embar­ rassed the Navy De­ partment. Kautz is one of the oldest officeni in the service. Hi* record during the war with the South is exceptionally bril­ liant. He negotiated tbe first exchange of priaoao/s authorized by President Lincoln and his cabinet, and ADMIRAL KAUTZ, it was he who hauled down the Confederate flag from the city hall of New Orleans. He was made a commodore in 1807 and an admiral sine* the outbreak ,of the war with Spain. Frederick W. Schneider, late of th* First South Dakota infantry, has return­ ed to Milwaukee. He says: "It is well kpown to every sol­ dier in the Philip­ pines that the insur­ gents, when they catch an American, inoculate him with the virus of leprosy. It is known definitely that a member of the First California regi­ ment and another one who was attached to me. scum eider. another regiment were taken prisoner* outside the walls of Manila, and while they were in captivity leprosy seeds were pumped into them. The inoculated men were turned loose and allowed to rejoin our forces.” Particulars of the fighting in Samoa show that in the recent battle between the friendly natives and tbe rebels, the latter lost 100 killed and wounded; also, that Ensign Monaghan of tbe Philadelphia was beheaded before he was dead. Frances L. Adair. 20, Boston. Mass., confessed to forged checks to the amount of $200. He earned $3.50 a week and paid $6 board. Ike Armantrout, Hillsboro, Ohio, charg­ ed with murderiug his brother by pushing him into the creek, has been released. �SCHOOL'COL.LMN. ■ BROWN.

The story of Arlington itself is full of historic Interest. It was the property of •George Washington's adopted son, George Washington Parke Custis, and he built the old mansion in 1802. Into this house . he brought his bride, Mary Lee Fitxhugh. ■nd here he spent tbe remainder of hjs life, as a quiet country gentleman without -•ver giving any. evidence of possessing much of the spirit of his honored grand­ sire. He left but one living child, Mary Randolph Custis, who married Robert E. Lee iu 1831, and they lived at Arlington until the outbreak of the war, at which time they left It never to return. During •the war it was used as headquarters for -the commanders of the Union troops that were quartered on the grounds. Wash­ ington was the hospital base of all the -surrounding country, and thousands of wounded soldiers were carried there to die. The cemetery of the Soldiers’ Home became overcrowded, and what to do with the soldier dead became a very serious question. Then it was that Quartermas­ ter General Megis ordered that Arlington should be used as a burying ground for lhe Union soldiers. It is interesting in this connection to mote that the first soldier buried at Ar­ lington was a rebel prisoner of war. In 1867 it was declared a national cemetery, and. a number of years afterwards, the -Government paid to the Lee family the price they agreed uj>on for it. The estate contains' about 1.100 acres and the 200 acres surrounding tbe mansion is used for burial purposed, while all of the rest is a magniuhent park. The house is modeled after the temple Theseus at Athens, aud consists of.a center GO feet long: two wings, and a portico in the front, 25 feet wide, with six massive doric columns, which are CO feet high. The view from this porch is surpassingly beautiful. To the north, lie Fort Meyer and George­ town. Extending away to the east across the Potomac lies the proud city of the na­ tion—Washington—with its legislative * hall of granite and marble, while-just be­ yond it glitters the gilded dome of the Congressional Library building. The mansion is surrounded by n broad drive­ way, and from it the well-kept walks lead in and out among the flower beds. In* a perfect grove of forest and orna­ mental trees, over a level plateau that ex­ tends from the western wall of the ceme­ tery to the mansion, is the general bury­ ing ground where thousands of the private soldiers He. In .this section the head­ stones are all alike, simple marble aloha rising about two feet from the ground, bearing the qames and regiments of those whose graves they mark. Directly south of the house is a most interesting plot of ground. Right in its center is what is known-os the Temple of Fame. It is a circular structure and is composed of eight columns, surmounted by a dome, which rests on an octagonal cornice of stone­ work. Set in this cornice are the names of Washington. Lincoln, Grant and Far­ ragut. There is also carved on each of the pillars oue of the following illustri­ ous names: McPherson. Sedgwick, Rey­ nolds, Humphrey, Garfield, Mansfield, Thomas aud Meade. This temple is seen in the background of the illustration of the Tomb of the Unknown. During the summer months the names of our famous generals api>ear in floral letters In this plot Immediately west of the Temple is the Tomb of the Unknown Dead, and contains'the bodies of 2,111 soldiers who were picked up after tbe battle of Bull Run, and who could not be identified. It Is one of tbe most touching sights. There are four magnificent entrance gates to Arlington, of which, perhaps, tbe one known as the Sheridan is the most interesting. It is of four mam­ moth white marble columns, which were originally in the War Department at Washington, but when it was destroyed by fire in 1879, they were saved, and were placed st Arlington as a gateway, and named io honor of “Little Phil." All the driveways converge to tbe bouse, and ou the eastern slope of tbe bill in front of the mansion lie some of tbe most distin­ guished officers of the war. LONG with the tears shed over the graves of those fallen there is mingled pride in the patriotic deeds and heroic achievements of both the dead and the living. Within the past year Liberty has spoken a new. fiat. The note of the bugle and roar of the cannon have been heard, and tyrannical snackles have been stricken from a people long enslaved. To accomplish this American soldiers volunteered, and from shot, disease and weariness maiy died. Some of them sleep in Arlington and some in the family lot in the little church yard, but there are others who lie buried on barren Cuban hillsides, and still others in the tropical jungles of the Philippines or in the depths of the sea. No matter what differences of opinion may exist as to the war policy of the Government, sevefity-five millions of people are a unit in doing honor to the nation's dead, wherever they lie, and in praising the courage and bravery of American soldiers; whether they "marched with Sherman or with Lee, stormed the blockhouses at El Caney, worked the guns for Dewey or swam the alligatorinfested rivers of Luzon. Sons of the veterans who faced each other on the terrible battlefields of the South have within a twelvemonth fought and fallen side by side. Their blood has effectually wiped out the last vestige of sectional lines, and the stars and stripes now have the same meaning the country over. This year we crown Shildh anew. We commemorate Chickamauga and Cor­ inth, Antietam and Appomatox—all the historic spots where heroes fell and which sacred grief immortalizes. But there are now new graves—graves across two oceans to be decorated. The aged widow of the soldier whose tomb has been a mecca for devotion these thirty odd years, in this month of budding flowers and glorious greenery, shares tears and love with those of a later generation, who have reason to remember Santiago and San Juan, Manila and Malolos with sorrow. America reverently honors the memory of her dead and eulogizes the patri­ otic heriosm of her living. Their deeds will never be forgotten by a gratefjil nation. Heroes ail—the dead and the living; the mingled emotions of sorrow and pride that sway the great popular heart, like the brooding protecting wings of a cherishing presence, hover alike over the peaceful village cemetery and the grave in the island jungle. Garlands wither and flowers lose their fragrance, but the glory of the nation's heroes shall bloom on forever. ONE DECORATION DAY. •OLD ABE." How Its Observance Brought About the Eighth Wisconsin Regiment. “Old Abe” was the live war eagle which accompanied the Eighth Wisconsin regi­ ment during the war of tbe rebellion. Old Abe was a flue specimen uf the bald eagle. Various stories are told of his capture, but the most trustworthy account is that Chief Sky, a Chippewa Indian, took him from the nest while an eaglet. The nest was found on a pine tree in the Chippewa country, about three miles from the mouth of the Flambeau, near some rapids in the river. He and another Indian cut the tree down. and. amid the menaces of the parent birds, secured two young eagles about the size of prairie hens. One of them died. The other, which lived to be­ come historical, was sold to •’ M<Cann for a bushel of corn. McCann car­ ried it tu Eau Claire, aud presented it to a company then being organised as a part of the Eighth Wisconsin infantry. Old Abe was called-by the soldiers the “new recruit from Chippewa," and sworn into the service of the United States by encircling his ueck with red, white aud blue ribbons, and by pladng on his breast a rosette of colors, after which he was carried by the regiment into every engage­ ment in ’ which it participated. i>erched upon a shield in tin- shape of a heart.

There is a melancholy pleasure inCODsidering this .great anniversary, second only in importance to Fourth of July, but overshadowed by a vastly different senti­ ment. Independence Day is the birthday of American freedom. Memorial Day may well be called its day of baptism and con­ secration.

AH good people had been warned to turn out and decorate the graves of the dead brave in our cemetery. It was in the early days after the war, and every one was ready to do his part. The speaker of the day, the town officials, the village fathers were in carriages; the pret­ ty young girls dressed in white represent­ ed the different States and carried flowers in their hands as they rode in the big, old omnibus in the procession. Lumbering af­ ter those came a dray carrying an easy chair in which a sick soldier was half re­ clining. He had been seen day after day sitting at a window by a generous hearted woman. ' She hud entered and asked him about bimselfT^she had noted the poverty in the room, the decrepit old father and mother, and she hud thought this was good missionary work. Sin* went out among her neightmrs, begging food, bed­ ding. everything for the family. He told her his story; how he had enlisted, start­ ed for the front, had falleu ill, suffered for want of care iu the barracks and had final­ ly come home disheartened and crippled for life. Poverty, extreme poverty, bad come to the family. A brother who had a family of his own was the only support of them all. They were actually suffering for food. So Decoration •day came on and the good friend caused the soldier to be token to the cemetery, where the address of the day took Its^^ point from the afflicted man, whoaC^T collection was taken up for. him and a new start given him in life. A little stock of pins nnd needles and the like was furnished him, a string was fastened to the old-fnshioned latch of the outer door, so that he could open it without trou­ ble, and, as he lay upon his conch, he sold trifles to his neighbors and friends. The pension.surgeon took his case in hand, the lawyers pleaded his cause and after a de­ lay of several years a jkonsinn was granted him and a few years farther on back pay was allowed him. Relief from care and anxiety has contributed toward his amendmet in health and he is now much bettet. All this is the fruit of one Decoration day’s work started by n generous, impul­ sive woman.—Exchange. GOVERNOR S SPECIAL MESSAGE. A MONSTER D>M. Gov. Pingree on Wednesday transmit­ ted the following special message to th< Legislature: To the Legiolature: Since I transmitted to your body my spe­ cial message of May 2 last 1 have caused the matter of taxation of railroad, trio graph, telephone and expresa companies t< be carefully examined by competent' attor­ ney*, with tbe view of determining wbetbe: it la possible to frame a faw taxing tbn*4 corporation* on their property according tc its cash value, to be determined by a Stay Board of Asaesaor*. and still devote tbe to* so raised to the primary school fund. For this purpose I engaged the -u-rvlcfi of tbe Hon. Edward Cahill, of Lancing, and the Hou. John J. Speed, of Detroit. J’taese attorney* bare examined the question* In vertred thorongbly and carefully and theit conclusion* have been submitted to me in a communication from Judge Cahill. It appear* from tbe conclusion* contained In this communication that under our pre*- < ent ConaUttrtlon, and because of Its interpretatlon by the Supreme Court In the re­ cent telephone cases. It la impossible to frame a valid law to make railroad* nnd tbe other corporation* referred to pay their just ■hare of taxes, upon the basis of the actual cash value of their property, the Mme as all other property In the State. It is to be regretted that this state of affairs exists. It demonstrate* that not only the Atkinson bill but that any bill which might be drafted, providing for taxation of the property of railroads, and the other cor­ porations referred to, upon It* actual cash value, and directing tbe payment of the taxes Into the primary school fund, would violate the provision* of the Constitution. Tbe unfortunate situation In which the State finds Itself, and the impossibility at present of complying at once with the clear­ ly expressed wish or tbe people of the State, does not relieve you <>f the responsibility and duty of taking whatever steps are neces­ sary to make nil property In the near fu­ ture, if not at tbe present time, bear Its just share of taxes. To this end, I would recommend that your body proceed upon the following plan: 1. Pass a joint resolution providing for an amendment to sections 10. 11 and 13 of arti­ cle 14 of rhe Constitution, so that tbe prop­ erty of railroads and other corporations can । be taxed ujK>n It* actual cash value. 2. Provide for a special election to submit to the propIc tbe q-tCMt.on of a general revis­ ion of the CoDMtitutlun. I understand that there 1s no bill Introduced In Ibis Legisla­ ture under which tbe question of general re­ vision can be submit tel. , Such being the case. 1 will call n special *>-ttslon of tbe Leg­ islature to convene immediately upon your adjournment, for tbe purpose of enacting such a law. ,3. Enact a Inw providing for the appoint­ ment of a State Board <»£ AaseMors primari­ ly for .the purpose of supervising msmm*ments throughout the State, placing prop­ erty on tbe roll* which ha* heretofore es­ caped taxation, raising and lowering assess­ ments. enforcing the pn-s-nt tax law*, and fToviding secondarily for the coUectfag of information relating to the value of railroad and other property, so that specin • taxes can be lucreaaed to n Just amount, pending the amendmeDt or revision of the Constitution. 4. Amend the present Iffw. known as the Merriman Inw. so that at least one million doliun additional taxes be collected from railroads by mean* of an Increase of specific taxes. This i* rendered necesaary because of your inability, under the decision of the Supreme Court, to enact a law taxing prop­ erty of railroad* upon It* value, and «ueh In­ crease should be made <>uly temporarily, un­ til such time ■■ a constkutlonal amendment or revision makes It po^Mlble to tax su--h property upon Its cash value. The peopls have clearly expressed their desire upon this matter. In Trowbridge township is being con­ structed st present a dam which is f*« ahead of anything of the kind elsewhere in the State. By It tbe KaUmasoo rives will be harnessed and jta energy con verted Into electric power for the running of lighting plants and other machinery in that portion of the State, to which it will be conveyed by wires which are now being strung. The spot selected is an ideal one, so the engineer* say, for such a dam. The river is narrow at this point aud on either ride are very high, steep bluffs. Then there is nn exceptionally heavy fall to the river for some miles just above tbe point which makes it the more valuable for water power. In the construction of the dam oser 1,000,000 feet of lumber, 1.400 cords of stone and thirteen carloads of cement will be used. On either end of the dam will be built imjnense stone wings far Into the bluff to prevent the Water getting around the end*. The course of the river has been turned into a narrow channel on the south bank, while the workmen have dredged out the bed of the stream and en­ closed it in a cofferdam, and have dug down through sand and loose boulders to the hardpan below and laid thereon a solid foundation of concrete. Bui’ding from this, they have put in thousands of feet of huge logs, hewed to fit each other in the form of narrow cribs about four feet wide and ten to twelve feet long. The in­ terstices are filled in with concrete from the foundation up to the top, a total depth of almost forty feet. Sloping back from the face of the dam, tbe concrete and logs extend a distance of seventy feet up river, making the dihn as solid as the hills which lock the river iu its bed. Four penstocks with a pair of turbine wheels in each form the driving machinery for tbe plant, locat­ ed on the north bank of the river. These penstocks are nine feet in diameter, and being furnished with a bead of water gained from a pent-up lake of a thousand acres or more in extent, with a Sheer drop of the water through the penstock and over the turbines ot twenty-foot feet, a power equal iu engineering terms to three thousand horses is harnessed and made to turn the thirteen-inch main driving abaft to which is belted the immense dynamo which generates a current of from two to twenty thousand volts. Railroads do not now, under tqteclfle taxes, pay a Just share of taxes. This cannot be disputed. The pres-.-nt need Is not for In­ formation as to the nctnai cash value of rail­ road and other corporate property. It 1* a waste of time to delay such action until such Information la gathered. The people demand that all property, no matter by what corpor­ ation owned, or what It* value, be taxed upon it* actual cash value. It fa Imperative, therefore, to so amend tbe Constitution that a law can l>e passed taxing all property at It* value. It la a matter uf correct principle of taxation, nut of statistics. We do uot have to know the actual value of railroad property In order to provide a law for taxing It properly and Justly. After such u law has been enacted the value of railroad property must then necessarily be determined by tbe assessors provided under such a law. The people have decided upon the correct prin­ ciple of taxation, vlx.: upon value. A law upon that principle sbou'd be enacted as soon a* an amended Constitution trill per­ mit. It will be tbe duty of. the assessor*, provided for by such a law. to determine the value before the.ux«-an Ik* levied. The cost of all railroad property In the Slate, according to their sworn return* In the office of the Railroad Commissioner, Is $295.141,IP5.3P. This doe* not include the value of their franchise*, which are worth many millions more. It is safe to state that aa*A-S9H>rs throughout the State, in violation of their oaths of office, asses* ail property at about 40 per cent, of Its actual cash value. If we apply the same proportion to the sworn cost of railroad property In the State, vlx.. 40 per cent, of 1295,141,195.30, It 1* cer­ tainly fair to estimate that railroad prop­ erty. valued on Ibb same basis u* al! other property, should be a*m‘*sed at least $11S,056,473.23. This should la* accepted by tbe most critical, ns a not unfair awerfBiu.-nt of the property of railroad* for the purpose of taxation. The present average rate paid br ■II other property in the State 1* determined by tbe Auditor General to be 2.08 per cent. If we should tax railroad property upon the above valuation of 311N,<i7»U,47‘<23.' at 2 |»er cent., their tux would ammin: to 32,361,12P.56. This would bo IL278.512.07, more than they pay at present under the Merri­ man law. The Railroad CommiMlouer com­ putes railroad taxes for 1898 at $1.087.616.M>. It will be seen, therefore, that It I* not un­ reasonable to demand that the present spe­ cific rate* be fixed, ro ns to yield nt least one million more taxes than at present paid. 5.

Bewildered. almost petrified, the young girl remained motionless in tbe half gloom. She eould not fly from the spot; she .could only clutch the box that she held in both bauds. There waa a movement in the boat bourn*. and, despite her terror, Mabel was now conscious that there were two figures inaide the rough shelter. Something ter­ rible must lie concealed, she thought, for why should her father, a county gentle­ man, be here when he had given out to everyone that he was going abroad? The affrighted girl could only strain eyes and ears, waiting .for what might cntfir next: and then she beard the man “I tell you what it is. Ch nr) ford," be began, when tbe other interrupted him vehemently. “Are you not mad to address me by that name?” said be. “I am ‘Filton* to you nnd to everybody until 1 take up my ordi­ nary life again.” “Oh," responded bis companion, with a strange laugh, " ’Filton’ or ’Gbariford'— it doesn't matter here—the moon and the beetles are our only listeners, so come along. Capital rendezvous thia place makes—«o quiet and removed from dan­ ger! Good-night, Filton. We part here, X suppose.” “Certainly; and I shall not linger, I promise you. The morning will see me miles away. I will go at once^-you fol­ low.” And without more leave-taking they separated. . Mabel trembled violently and shrank back into the gloom behind tbe boat bpusb when she perceived the figure of her fath­ er emerge from the shelter. A uroadbrimined hat was slouched over bis face, and. creeping out from the shadow of the boat bouse with stealthy step, like a thief in the night, he passed into the meadow, where ho skulked along inWihe darkest parts till he was lost to view. It was some few minutes before the bewildered’girl recollected that she had lost time on her errand, and that even now it might be too late for her to re-enter her uncle’s house without demanding admis­ sion—and this she dared not do. ”1 must sit iu the summer house till morning; I must hide there,” she thought, distressfully. “The maids must be made to think that I went out early, before breakfast, and I must go in with my bands fnil of flowers. Nobody will guess that I have been out all night." But, alas! she had not yet gained the shelter of the summer house. Her heart was struck witb a new pang as she heard a smothered exclamation from the man who had been witb her father in the boat house, aud whose form she now dimly perceived come into view. She had for the instant forgotten him in the intensity of her fear at her father's proximity; now the nearness of this new danger over­ whelmed her. Where could she hide from the man’s eyes? What could she answer If he per­ ceived her and questioned her? To the affrighted girl he appeared to be a des­ perado ready to stab any listener. How frightful to imagine such a man as this her father's friend! She bad dropped down Upon the grass, crouching on one side of a bush—it was the only biding place left her. The man emerged from the boat house, and, standing with his back to Mabel, appeared to look anxiously in the direction of the flower garden. “How long will she keep me waiting?*’ he muttered: aud he was so near to the spot where Mabel was crouching that she heard tbe words distinctly. She? Whom could this man be wait­ ing for? But this Mabel cared not to know—her whole desire was to steal away. Once more within her_, uncle’s grounds, she could iu some measure feel safe. "Ah, here she comes! Now for the proper amount of well-feigned adoration. In exchange for which I shall get help that she little dreams of. Charlford will not quite guess who dur messenger is to be! Ha. ha!” As he concluded his soliloquy, he maved away, and Mabel, stiff with crouching iu a constrained position, overwhelmed witb an agony of terror lest she should be per­ ceived. too blinded by fear to consider the step she was taking—nor indeed had she time—rushed into tbe shelter of the bout house. For there was a door at the side, of which she was well aware, nnd which was now open. By it access could be gained to a small room in which were a chair, a table and a cupboard. Hardly had she reached this when she recognized her mistake. Approaching footsteps and voices sounded on her car— those of a man and a woman; and they were coming into the boat hopse—there, where she herself bad taken shelter! Quickened by terror, she rememberd the long cupboard situated near tbe en­ trance. apd, groping, fortunately took hold of the o|H‘D door with her trembling bands. To step within and to pull it near­ ly close so ns to hide herself from these intruders was the work of a moment. She was none too soon in seeking this place of refuge, for the man and the woman were fairly within the boat house now, aud hie was leading her to the seat close to the cupboard. “My darling, such a moment as this is sweet presence transfigures my life! I dream of you by night, I muse on you by day! Thia alone gives me courage to bear our continued separation." “Ob, Horace," said the womra'i voice, witb fervor, “lielieve that my love for you equAe yours for me!" Mabel almost betrayed herself—nearly cried out that she was there—for the wom­ an who had thus expressed her devotion to thia stranger was no other than her eldest sister Caroline, who waa always so proud and cold, who held herself aloof from her younger sisters and from Dick, and set herself up aa a pattern of perfec­ tion! She to meet a stranger secretly at thia hour, and in this place! Mabel longed to cry out: “Caroline, Car­ oline, what are you doing?" But fear held her spellbound—the cry she attempt­ ed to utter died away on her lipa—and then cold dread entirely overmastered her, and she remained silent, motlotflesa, only “Horace,” murmured Caroline, "you love me too well! Would that for your dear sake 1 waa indeed as perfect as you think me!” “You are more than perfect, my predous Jove!” be interrupted, with well-as­ sumed warmth. “Listen! The time will come when I can'go to your father." "Are.you sure. Horace?" she said, anx­ iously. “For sometimes 1 think your hopes may be deceived, and that it would be bet­ ter lo speak to tpy father now. One must suffer where one really .laves. He will refuse his consent, I know; but after I am one nnd twenty I shall be free to take a decided step for myself.” "Why should you suffer a year’s perse­ cution from your father, my own lo.ve? Even you have no expectation that he would consent to our marriage. I know him only through your description; he has never sei eye» on me, nor have I^on him. But it is plain that, unless I could go to him with my hands full of gold, he would never agree that you should be mine.” “Horace,” said Caroline, earnestly, “if you and I are to be parted until you can go to my father with your hands full of gold, we must look forward to a long sep­ aration.” • "Not no, my darling—the gold will be mine!” he responded, caressing her. "That thought alone supports me, for, my own love, I have sad news for you to-night. I hove to go abroad for a few weeks. Will you undertake something for me?" " “Abroad. Horace?" she faltered. "And I shall not see you for—how many weeks?” "My angel. I will fly back to you! Shall I not count the moments till I hold your dear hands once more in mine?” She answered him through her tears, while be, murmuring words of fondest af­ fection, besought her uot to make their parting more keen than he could bear. Then Caroline recovered herself, declared that she would show him an example of courage and asked what be wished her to do for him. "It is this, my darling,” he said, caress­ ingly. “Take this little package which I leave with you with my name written on it, will you, and, if necessary, go up to London on purpose to leave It for mo nt its destination? Were it not that I shall be abroad, I would not beg this favor from you." , • “Is that all?” said Caroline. ..“Why. Horace, I thought it was some impracti­ cable thing you had to ask of me, and it is . only that I should take this package to London! Why, of course I .will do so! I woulcLdo anything for you. Here, at my uncle's, it will be easy for me to make an excuse that I want to go up to town- for a day—indeed, I should go without saying a won! to him." “Thank you, dear. You have saved me a world of anxiety by your kind promise. When we meet again I will explain all about it to you, but to-night I can think of nothing but this unexpected separa­ tion." It seemed a long time to Mabel before her sister bade her lover adieu—so long that the girl wondered how she would manage to re-enter the bouse. But Caro­ line was in no haste to be gone; she lin­ gered by ber lover's side, aud it was long after midnight before Caroline and her companion quitted the boat house. In a kind of frenzy Mabel fled toward the sunken fence, stood once more in the garden, nnd crept across tbe luwn toward tbe front entrance. Through all Her agi­ tation she had grasped securely the box containing the flies. With one hand she held this, with the other tried to open the hallway. But it was shut nnd fastened! The girl’s heart sank lower. How had Caroline managed to get in? Had she en­ tered by some window? Poor Mab went around softly to the side pf the house, eagerly scanning the casements. But iu>ne was open—all the shutters were "up, and Mabel was alone—outside!' CHAPTER V. . Only twenty-four hours before. __ how_ Mabel would have trembled to find herself in such a position—would have trembled nt the thought that she was barred and bolted out, while all the household slept. But since the previous night she had suf­ fered so much that she was almost calm at tbe prospect of passing the night in the summer house. “I suppose J. can bear that, after what I have just gone through!” said Mab to herself. "Oh, Dick, Dick, if you could but know what I am suffering now!” Tbe next moment she uttered n faint cry. impossible to repress, for, apparently asleep, before her on the grass lay a man. But he was not asleep, for he mor. d. and, springing to his feet, confronted her. “Well, I never!” he cried, injhe accents of a countryman. "Who be yoi^it-fflttin' about here at this time o’ night? Why, 'tis well-nigh two o’clock in the mornin’! Come—tell us your name! You’re one o' the gals as lives in service up at the house, I reckon?” And ns Mabel, too terrified to answer, would have rushed back, he prevented her by stepping before ber. Without pausing to think, and without speaking, she dash­ ed aside, since the path behind was barred, and succeeded in throwing open a small green gate which led into the road. A panic had seized her. Overmastered by her terror, she ran she knew not whither. The countryman pursued, and soon come up witb the startled girl, and ill might it have fared with her if it had not chanced that a pasapr-by, accompanied by a magnificent dog, was at that instant walking along by the green gate. The sight of a terrified young lady pur­ sued by a rough-looking man arrested his steps at once. "Oh, save me—save me!” cried Mabel, driven to extremity, and panting in tbe wildest terror. “fie under no fear.” said the stranger; "my dog would deal with two such men." Then turning to the man, who would fain have slunk away—“How do you dare to follow the lady, you coward!" "No offense, sir—my lord!" stammered the fellow, shaking in every limb. “I just asked the young lady what she was a-, doin’ in the garden at this time o’ tbe mornin', an’ she run off like mad! She’d no call to fear me. I shouldn’t ba’ laid a finger on her.” "Re silent, air, and quit this place, un­ less you wish to be pnniahed for tres­ passing! Yon have no buMiuess here, and you know it!" “I ask your pardon, an’ the young lady’s, too, my lord," said the man, hum­ bly. “Faet is. I’d walked a good bit, an’ I waa tired, ar' had to be early at work a mile or two on, an’ I just turned in an’ Lion's master, turning gravely and defer­ entially to Mabel, who all this time had been leaning half fainting against tbe libtie green gate, quite unable to utter a word or even to move from the excess of her agitation. “I—I live her^” gasped Mabel, in direst confusion and trouble. ‘•You live here," echoed the gentleman— "here, at Mr. John Charlford’s? But he has no daughters—he is uot married." ’•’I am one of his nieces," stammered Mabel, more troubled than ever; “and he would never forgive me If ho knew, if he should ever discover that I was here at thia time of night." “Indeed, I am very sorry.” rejoined the gentleman still more gravely. “Will you pardon me, Miss Charlford. for begging you to ask yourself wither It la right for you to place yourself in such danger as you were in just notf—-whether it la right for you to do what you are so well aware your uncle must gravely object to?’ • “I—I did nothing wrong—nothing!" ex­ claimed Mabel, suddenly bursting into agonizing soba after the long strain that she had undtrgone. Then, vaialy attempting to explain as much as she dared, she stood before this grave, gentl-nianly stranger.battling with her tears until the power of speech should come back. Already she experienced a feeling of regret that she should seem" re­ gardless of rjght-dolng in his eyes, and a great desire to clear herself in bis estima­ tion took instant possession of ber. “It was for Dick’s sake," sobbed Mabel —“for my brother’s! See"—thrusting into view the box to secure which she bad un­ dergone so much—“this is the reason why I came out. Uncle John would never have forgiven Dick if he found put that lie bad been fishing with his flies; but Dick took them; and then, poor boy, he forgot, and left them down by the pool, not knowing that he would have to sleep as well as dine at Lord Bilstone’s, and that my uncle would stay nt home. So just before he started he begged me to run-down to the pool nnd get the box which he had forgot­ ten. nnd I promised. How could Dick foresee that I should not be able to go till after I-bad said good-night to my uncle, and how could I imagine that tbe bouse door would be locked before I could get back? And I dared not ring, so I rescued to stay all night in the summer house; then nobody would know anything about it if I walked in quietly before breakfast, with my hands full of flowers." "I beg your pardon for my suspicions just now." said Lord Wynmore, his grave manner becoming cordial. “I—I imagined —I feared that there was something more serious to occasion you to lie out at thia hour. Pardon me for wronging you, even i. in thought." “Did will tell you how it was,” mur­ mured Mabel, blushing, for she was quick to divine that he had mentally charged her with being there to meet a lover. "I shall not need to ask’ your brother Dick or anyone else; I believe you," re­ sponded Lord Wynmore. Mabel dried her tears and looked up. In. the midst of her sadness nnd trouble this assurance gave her a strange pleasure. She was wholly unconscious of bow fair she looked in his eyes as she stood by the roadside beneath the *aint moonlight, her beauty heightened by the emotion so plainly visible. "Thank you for believing me. Lord Wynmore," she said, softly. “Oh, I am so much indebted to you for saving me from,that dreadful man! Good-night. I will tell my brother how kind you have been.” “You do not imagine, Miss Charlford,” returned he, "that 1 shall leave you here unprotected till dawn? Permit me to con­ stitute myself your guardian for the re­ mainder of the darkness. Then you may rest in perfect safety in tbe , summer house. Here, Lion”—calling softly to the dog—"go with this friend.’’. The animal immediately rose, looked fix­ edly at Mabel, and stood ready to obey. “He will lie at your feet. Miss Charl­ ford," continued I«ord Wynmore; “and bold indeed would lx1 tbe man who would venture to molest you. I will walk about here within call, so you may feel secure.'.’ Poor child—for, despite her queenly height and her sixteen years, she was al­ most a child—she was worn out by her emotions and by the lateness of the hour! Very glad was she to sink upon the rustic seat, the feeling of security from possible harm contributing to bring repose: and soon, with the huge dog lying across the entrance to the arbor, Mabel's eyelids closed, aud she slept. And through the night Lord Wynmore paced up and down outside the little gate, treading softly on the grass which border­ ed tbe road lest be should awaken her who, he trusted, slumbered within the arbor. “She Is hardly grown up. What a beauty she will be: and as yet she is as unconscious as a child!” he mused. “Who vpould have thought that her uncle was such a martinet? Why, she has a mortal dread of him." Wild dreams came to Mabel as she lay on the bench within the arbor. She dream­ ed that she continually encountered her father in different disguises. At on’e time she was at the seaside—gone thither to visit Nett a and Isabel, who were buying seaweed of a tall, dark man on the beach. The man was barefooted ami wore a broad-WicQmed hat; and. though she dar­ ed Dot glance at him a second time, she knew him to be her father. Drawing her sisters away, she ran home witb them, hoping to bide from him, when, lo, her father sat on the doorstep in the guise of a soldier! Caroline, too, mingled with her dreams; she thought that her eldest sister had gone to London to do that stranger’s bidding without telling any of them, and that she did not come back. Then, in her slumber, Lord Wynmore came to her. saying, “I have found your sister;’’ and a smile broke over her face at the thought; but the smile brought with it awakening. She opened her eyes, and perceived Lord Wynmore himself smiling at her. Day had fplly dawned—it was five o’clock in tbe'morning. “I ventured to come for a moment to say farewell," he Mid. “If I stay longer. It may lead to awkward surmises. So Lion and I must steal off. Ask your broth­ er to come and we me. Miss Charlford, and tell him I have capital fishing in the river. Good-by! I trust that you are a little rested." Treading lightly on the grass, devoutly hoping that she would not be seen, pro­ foundly thankful she had a thin cloak on which hid her evening dress. Mabel s-aon reached the house which she bad left so frightened girl. Then at last she reached her own room, where she took off her evening attire and began to arrange her toilet. Now, she could try to think what she must do, also what she must aay to Caroline. Before, it had been impossible; her whole world had been overturned since yesterday. She sat down in an easy chair by her open window, wondering if she might venture to say that she did not fee! well enough to go down to breakfast. . But that would never do. She must keep up the semblance of being ber usual self; otherwise, if she stayed, in ber room, she would lose tbe chance of seeing Dick. The gong sounded loudly at that instant, and Mabel, fearful of being late, steadied her trembling limbs and went downstairs. . (To be continued.) r . ' ■■ii" tv THE FOREIGN SERVANT The Nichols-Shepard TRACTION ENGINE GIRL. Hoi In order to overcome the difficulties of the servant problem tbe German government has Inaugurated a new sys­ tem, claiming It to be beneficial to both mistress and maid. Tbe government provides a book (which the servant can have upon .ap­ plication) and the mistress Is required to place in It each week a 5-cent stamp issued for that purpose. If this availed nothing more. It would prove date and number of weeks of sat­ isfactory service, and be a valuable reference; but It bns a far wldeHntention. When the girl becomes sick- aged, or unable to work, every stamp Is re­ deemable by the government, thus pro­ viding a bank account for ber time of need. It Is a tax Imposed upon the employ­ er, but the benefit derived from reli­ able service Is sufficient compensation. Several years’ continuance seems to prove the plan successful. • ‘ Russian cities have tried a prize sys­ tem, giving a certain sum of money to servants with two years’ record of faithful service In one place, confirmed by written statement In pass book, from employer. This Is really nothing more than a “written reference," subject to the ob­ jections attending all of them—that Is. forgery, and even If genuine, governed by tbe mood and prejudice of the mis­ tress at the time of writing. The suc­ cess of this plan is uncertain and doubtful. There Is one advantage, however, the fact that the servant has remained In one place for two ‘years Is In her favor, even If, because of some difficulty at the time of parting, tne reference Is uot so satisfactory as might be desired by the servant, for even a two years’ stay in one place speaks well for the servant In this day of changes. Military Marches. In military music the march occup es a prominent position, aud has bsen employed not only to stimulate cour­ age. but also, from about the middle of the seventeenth century, to Insure the orderly advance of troops. One of the earliest Instances of rhythmical march Is the Welsh war strain, “The March of the Men of Harlech," which Is supposed to have originated during the siege of Harlech castle in 14(18. In England the military march was of somewhat later development Sir John Hawkins In his "History of Music” tells us that its characteristic was dignity and gravity, in which re­ spect It differed greatly from the French, which was brisk and alert And apropos of this subject, the same author quotes n witty reply of an Eliza­ bethan soldier to the French Marshal Biron’s remark that "the English march, being beaten by the drum, was slow, heavy, and sluggish." “That may be true, he said, “but slow as It is, it has traversed your master’s coun­ try from one end to the other."—Cham­ bers* Journal. Proof Positive. Two men were standing outside 'a jeweler’s window admiring the gor­ geous display of glittering gems that lay before them. Presently one of them, pointing to an object in a red plush tray, said: “Just look at that scarfpin, represent­ ing a fly. Any one can tell that’s not “Well. I should think so,” answered bls friend. “Who ever saw a common fly with such a bright appearance? Why. It makes one weary when I think that the jeweler who produced that fondly hoped that some one would pur­ chase it to deceive his friends. If I saw that on a man’s scarf 1 could tell directly that It was an enameled Imi­ tation.” At that moment the object of their condemnation moved across the tray, flew in the air, and vanished. Tbe two men looked at each other, gasped, and moved away without-a word.—Pear­ son’s Weekly. Coatly Cablegrams. Sixteen thousand dollars is the rec­ ord price paid for a cablegram, that price having been paid for a message sent by Henniker Heaton to Australia In behalf of the British Parliament Reuter’s account of the murderer Deeming’a trial, 4,000 words, cost $8,­ 000. An 1,800-word dispatch from Londoa to Argentina cost 57,500. The most expensive private message so far is that sent by the King of Italy to the Duke of Abruzzi of Rio Janeiro, In­ forming him of the death of his father, the late Duke of Aosta, which cost $2,­ 070.

And so the whole party walked down to the pool—<6 fhe very spot where Mab bad trembled *0 on the pre­ vious night, and where she'trembled anew at.the recollection now, even In the sun­ shine. surrounded by friends. Could it have been that her father had here crept away out of sight like a thief? “Oh. wliat for—what for?" cried Mab’s heart. “Are there many fish in your piece of water, Mr. Chariford?” asked Lord Wynmore, as they waited for Dick’s signal to embark. “Yes. a good many; and fishing is a sport of which I am very fond,” replied Uncle John. Dick would have winced at the mention of fishing had’he been uncertain as to the whereabouts of the box containing the flies, but now he smiled, and sent a grate­ ful glance toward Mab. “Now. then. Uncle, all is ready." he said cheerily, when he espied bis knife, which he had thrown upon the grass after cut­ ting a string which he could not disen­ tangle. . Darting to the spot to pick.it up. lest he should forget it and leave it there, his foot came in contact' with something bard —something under the clump of dock leaves, where he had concealed the flies on the previous day. Heavens! Had Mab left them there after ajl. Dick thrust bls hands hastily among the leaves and drew out a small, box—the identical one which Mab, by a nod. had intimated to him that she had taken back to the house. ’. Poor Dick was momentarily overwhelm­ ed. Mab had ever been true as steel: and had she failed him now? But there was no time to ask the question—his uncle was Impatient to enter the boat—and Dick, se­ creting the box in one of his pockets, while’darting a reproachful look at his sister, was soon rowing them out to a sfaldy: part of the pool, where be rested on bis sculls. Lord Wynmore talked a good deal to Mabel on the water—told her of the for­ eign lakes he had seen, and of how much ar home the Norwegian women are on their fiords; and Mab, interested and be­ guiled, did not at first notice Dick’s trou­ bled brow; but she soon perceired that something had disturbed him. It was not till they were returning Co the house— their uncle walking with Lord Wynmore and Caroline—that the brother and sister could exchange a word in pri- “What did you mean, Mab,” said Dick, "by motioning to me that you hud done cvived me before! How can I trust you what 1 asked you to do. You never de­ sgain?" "I did do what you told me, Dick," said Mai>. with warmth. “I went to the pool and found the box, and took it back with me—at what a cost you little know!” “Took it back with you?" cried Dick. “Why. h^te it is—look!” and he drew the box from his pocket. "Oh. you frighten mel" exclaimed Mab. with wildly staring eyes. "I did find the box under the leaves, and I took it back." "Nonsense! Don’t you see it in my hand? If you took any Lox. it was not this one. and this is the one I hid under the leaves. What have you been at, Mab?” “I don’t know. I took back the one I found. Ob, Dick, who conld have put it there?" “I don’t care who did; but I care to get this in its place before he discovers the loss.” said Dick, indicating Uncle John with a nod. “And 1 thought I had gut so safely out of that pickle! Oh. Mab, bow could you make such a mistake?** "Did I make a mistake. Dick?” said Mab, with a bewildered air. “If so, it was no wonder, for. oh. so many strange things have happened! Wtx?n can I tell you about them? To-night—it must be to-night!" "Come out into the corridor after you are sent up to bed. Mab. and we can have a nice talk in the gallery. That’ll do, won’t it?” "Beautifully, dear Dick," said Mabel, looking so moved that the young fellow wondered what had occurred. But he only said, in a low tone: “You say you found a box under the leaves and took it into Unde John’s room. Mab? Then that must be taken away at once.” “Yes. for I certainly put one there. But" —lingering Behind so that her uncle should uot hear her next words—“but guess where I was nil last night, Dick?” “Last ntgbt? Why. here, 1 should think! Where else could you be?" "I was here, but not in the house." she answered, looking up at him. “The door was fastened when I got back from the pool, and I dared not ring, so I made up rny mind to sit in Jhe summer bouse." “Oh. Mab," Interrupted Dick, quite startled, “how dreadful! You don’t wean to say you stayed out. all night?” “Yes," she said, nodding, “and I should have been terribly frightened and perhaps hurt by a rough sort of man who had turned into the grounds to sleep, but that, in running away from hinnout of the little green gate.

A quarter of an hour later Lord Wyn: more, after a cordial leave-taking of Mr. John Chariford and his nieces and nephew and a renewed invitation to them to come over to the Manor, was riding aloug on his homeward way, and Mabel’s heart was jMiiqatlng quicHy with a new feeling of happiness as she rememl>ered Lord Wyomore's look and pleasant smile at her as he said good-by.

Dick was ail<»at and thoughtful—“very uulikw his usual **elf.“ thought Mab; aod ahe wondered anew what he bad discovered ia the box which she bad fouod by’miatake. Was that to be a fresh ■ouree of trouble? Why did Dick look ao grave, and. what could he have been-doing before dinner? Immediately the n»eal was ended she made an effort to escape Into ^be garden; but that was not to be. .Her uncle asked her to play che^a with him. and she could only manage to get through the game pas­ sably. Dick had disappeared, and only came in late. He had been out to give the dogs a run, he aald. At length, after all her weary hours of waiting, she found herself Once more ia her own room, het door ajar, listening for Dick’s footsteps In the carridor. And in about a quarter of an hour be. came. Quickly and sijently Mab glided out, awaiting him near the large window, where they could both alt in the old-fash­ ioned window seat and talk unobserved. How eagerly she greeted him. She trembled with agitation at the bare idea of what Dick would say and feel. But her brother's manner was very disappointing. “Be as quick as you can, there’s a dear giri." he said, "for I have something to do to-night." “Whatever It is, you must bear what I have to tell, Dick, or I think I shall lose my senset!’’ she cried. "Oh, if you could guess what I have bad to suffer since last night! But, before I say a word to yoo* tell me what you found 4n that box I took in by mistake." • . “Papers," be returned, laconically. "Paixtrs?” interrogated Mab. “Have you looked st any of them? What are they about?" “Well, I can hardly tell you that off­ hand, Mab. I have not read them all; they seem to be letters to a man -named Filtpn, whoever he may be." . “Filton!" she gasped out “Filton!” “Yes, that is the fiame. You don’t know anything of him, surely, Mab? He ap­ pears to be an unscrupulous sort of man.” "Not know him!” ahe echoed, in pathetic tones. "Oh, Dick, Dick, I fear we all know him! I am'afraid he is our father!” And Mab. quite overwhelmed with the vague terrors of the day before, clasped her brother's arm convulsively and burst into, tears. * , The young fellow, who began to -ueed comfort himself, tried by fond words to cairn her grief, beseeching her "to tell him all." Some minutes, however, elapsed be­ fore she had' sufficiently recovered to do so. When at last she was able to speak calmly she imparted her secret briefly. Dick—confused, alarmed, full of trou­ ble as he was—did his best to comfort her. At length, however, when they had talk­ ed on till they dared stay no longer, for Uncle John’s footsteps sounded in the hall below, they settled that Mab should tell Caroline that she bad been in the boat­ house when Caroline met her lover, and beseech her to have nothing more to do with him, since from what Mab bad over­ heard be was deceiving her with a show of affection. Both Mab and Dick were unanimous in deciding that it was best not to tell Caroline anything of the mystery concerning their father; but whether they should broach the subject to Uncle John, who was probably in the secret, Dick could not determine so readily. Unhappy brother and sister! For tha first time in tfceir lives they longed for their father’s home coming. * (To I* Continued.) PROFESSOR HAD "BEEN THERE."

Which the prices‘paid for food and cloth­ ing tor the Michigan'troops were shown States and in which the Governor was and for selling shoe# for one. of the regi­ ments. the Governor Monday cveniux sent a long mestage bearing on this report .to the House. Gov. Pingree questioned the motives which prompted the minority re­ port, taking the ground that the best was none too good for the soldiers and that there was no time to look about ftfr better prices. Speaker Adams refused to re­ ceive the message and ordered it returned to the Governor. . He declared that only mmbers of the Hoose were entitled to wash their linen on the floor, the consti­ tution providing that the Governor’s mes­ sage shall be confined to statements of the condition of the State and the making of recommendations. -The House ou Tuesday refused to con­ cur in the railroad taxation bill passed by the Senate,, increasing railroad taxation under the present law about $32,000 annu­ ally. In the afternoon the House passed a bill by a vote of 72 to 22 which increases the taxes on railroads operated in this 8tatf $500,000 in round figures over last year’s assessment. This renews the fight over the question of railroad taxation and it is not possible that the Legislature can now adjourn on the date fixed in the pend­ ing Senate resolution, May 20. Gov. Pin­ gree expresses himself fairly well pleased with the action of the House and believes the Senate will be forced now to takesome action tending toward a decided in­ crease in .railroad taxation. Bills permitting saloons to be kept open on. the Fourth, of July*and prohibiting the giving of any' manner of entertainment either In or out of doors on Sunday were defeated on Wednesday, the former in the Senate and the latter in the House, The House passed a bill appropriating $50,000 for a Michigan exhibit at the Buffalo ex­ position and increased the standing appro­ priation foe the university by $92,000, making the annual appropriation $278,000. After a long fight the Senate advanced to third reading the House bill making an unlimited appropriatio nfor the payment of beet sugar-bounties. Thia will cost the State at least $500,000 a year. The House on Thursday voted down all resolutions fixing a day for final adjourn­ ment, the determination of the majority being not to take any definite action on this subject until the railroa^ and other laxation bills are passed. Notwithstand­ ing this action the Senate passed another resolution setting June 17 for final ad­ journment. Competent authorities express the opin­ ion that the How* jeopardized the legal­ ity of all legislation that may be enacted during the remainder of the session by de­ ciding on. Friday to adjourn from Sat­ urday until Wednesday afternoon. The point is that the adjournment is for more than three dajs, that being the constitu­ tional limit of time for which one house can adjourn without the consent of the other. The Senate limited its adjourn­ ment from Satutwlay nntil Tuesday night. Gov. Pingree has signed the following bills: Providing that purchasers of tax titles shall notify the owners -of property of such purchase. Amending the law relative to the incor­ poration of mercantile companies. Prohibiting the pollution of the waters of Wolf creek. Amending the charter of the city of Ad­ rian.

The continuous supply of moisture thus af­ forded will have a most noticeable ef­ fect by rendering every particle of plant food within reach capable of as­ similation. Ordinary drain tile may be used In place of sewer pipe. There is great difference In the dura­ bility of different kinds of posts and also in the soil where they are placed. Contrary to the general Impression, a sandy or gravelly soil, which Is usual­ ly dry, is much more liable to rot out posts than one which Is always wet In the dry soil there are frequent changes from wet to dry, by v(h!cb more air iq brought in contact with the wood and this introduces the germs of decay. In an always wet soil the water Is probably stagnant and contains little air. Oxygen Is necessary to all de­ composition. An old farmer who had owned both sandy farms and those that had a clay subsoil once told us that posts on the sand had to be removed more than twice on clay subsoil. Nothing is more beneficial to an old pasture than to harrow It thoroughly every spring. A few roots may be broken off, but the stirring which the surface soil receives opens it to air and to receive the rains which will set them to growing more vigorously than be­ fore. Another good effect of the har­ rowing Is to break up the excrement dropped by the stock the previous year, and scatter It so that It can fertilise a greater number of plants. The farmers of Oregon hare found a ■Vw industry, which at the same time >,lves the problem what the convicts |h the State penitentiary can be set to One of the bad effects of frequenUy plowing and thoroughly cultivating soil Is that this runs out the white clover, which Is one of the most valu­ able pasture plants we have, besides also furnishing the very best pasture} for bees. The plant is a low-running vine, rooting as It spreads through the soli, yet, being a true clover, It rots quickly when plowed under. No one of the grasses, except blue grass and orchard grass, will stand drought so well, and as most of its roots ran near the surface, a moderate rain revives IL and sets It to blossoming again. In wet seasons bees make wSlte etoyer honey even up to September^If there are enough dry days for them to be out White clover Is a prolific seeder, but owing to Its creeping habit of growth the seed Is hard to gather and always sells high. It will pay to sow some on land -designed for pasture, and gather the seed when It occupies the whole land. If sown with red clover or alslke no white clover will be seen. But It is there under the growth of the larger clover, waiting to make a big growth when they dlq^out—American Cultivator. egriy without approaching the froat fine, and there wen- somewhat general xbow-i era over a large part of tbe great central valleys. In spite of a week which for winter wheat would be almost ideal the crop not only failed to make progress, but distinct­ ly went backward over the greater part of the wheat bolt. No new conditions hare arisen which may be looked upon as responsible for this marked failure of tbe crop to respond to favorable surroundign«- When the crop fails to respond, as this oue bits done, to six weeks of almost perfect weather conditions, it may be cepted as a settled fact that there is hope of any recovery before harvest, matter how ideal the season may prove. Wheat harvest has begun in Texas, anu while the general harvest is likely to be a few days layer than usual next week will show the beginning of cutting In more Southern districts of commercial impor­ tance.. Tbe general impression that be­ cause the crop is to.be a very short one there will be little or no movement of grain at the usual time is erroneous. Es­ pecially In the Southwest wheat is a money crop, the main dependence of the farm, and a certain proportion will be Bold from the thrasher jiist ax it always io. Weather conditions remain highly favora­ ble far spring wheat, and with the lux­ uriant st ooh ng which is induced by con­ tinued cool, moist weather, is giving the crop a sturdy vigor which will enable it to withstand the certain vicissitudes of the later season better than usual. The week wax only moderately favora­ ble for corn planting, too much moisture retarding work in some important dis­ tricts of the belt. An enormous acreage is being planted, undoubtedly on area suf­ ficiently large to make the breadth for this crop the largest on record. Prior to this year the largest acreage was in 1895, when 82,000,000 acres was officially re­ ported. Last year nearly 78.000,000 acres was so reported, and a 10.per cent In­ crease. which floes not now seem nt nil im­ probable, would give an area this year in excess 84,000,000 and possibly equaling 85,000,000 acres. MORE TROOPS NEEDED. Philippine*. A dispatch from Manila says that events of the past week have emphasized the need of a much larger army, without which, according to the best authorities in Manila, it would be attempting the im­ possible to expect to establish American supremacy in the Philippine Islands. The inadequacy of the American forces is said to be responsible for the large total loss ia the number of small encounters, with­ out material results as a compensation. Most of the fighting has been in territory which the Americans had swept, but had been compelled to abandon, because they could not spare troops to bold it. Aguinaldo’s peace commissioners, fearing im­ prisonment at Luna's hands, returned to Calumpit and proceeded up the river on a United States gunboat. The President and the War Department have about derided to support Gen. Otis’ view of the Philippine situation, and there will be no more parleys with Aguinaldo's envoys unless they indicate, before enter­ ing the American lines, that they are pre­ pared for unconditional surrender. The administration is informed that the opti­ mistic views of Chairman Bchurman and other- members of the American commis­ sion at Manila are without foundation, and that the Filipinos will have to be whipped into submission. Conquered ter­ ritory is being reoccupied, and the Ameri­ can troops are being harassed daily. To end this, more troops will be sent to Gen. Otis, and preparation* made to deliver a crushing blow. * CHINA SHOWS EIGHT. Orders have been issued direct from Pekin, China, directing the viceroys and governors of the neighboring provinces to put all their forces in readiness for war. on account of the arrival of six Italian warships in San-Mun harbor. It is be­ lieved that the Chinese will also attempt to drive the Germans from Shang-Tung peninsula. The Italian Government made a demand early in March for u lease of San-Mun bay. The lease, which provided for a coaling statoiQ,and naval base, also included a demand for the cession of three islands off the coast of Che-Kiang, with the right to construct rfrailroad from SanMun bay to Po-Yanfi lake, and to prefer­ ential mining and railroad privileges, cov­ ering the southern two-thirds of the Che­ Kiang province. The move on the part of •Italy is decidedly the most aggressive that has so far been made toward the dismem­ berment of China. . THOMAS BAKER KILLED.

It has been understood that the feud had- been recently settled, but tbe latest reports are that it is about to break out again with new intensity. Nothing will be done by the. War De­ partment to relieve the distress of the des­ titute volunteers in Porto Rico. There is no truth in the story from San Juan which says tbe deplorable condition of these men is due to neglect on the part of the War Department. Gen. Corbin said tbe sol­ diers who are now destitute in the West Indies inaisted on being mustered out there, and received all their pay, commu­ tation of rations, and travel pay to which they are entitled. If they have spent this it is their misfortune. They are now pri­ vate citizens, and so far as money goes have no more claim on the Government than any other private citizens, although they will be given preference when the Government needs employes. It is be­ lieved the reports from Ban Juan have been exaggerated, and that there arc com­ paratively few discharged 'soldiers who are in needy circumstances. After tjje killing of the negro postmas­ ter at Lake City. S, C., the burning of the postoffice, and the wounding of the postmaster's wife and children, the Post­ office Department decided the best thing under the circumstances was to do away with the postoffice at Lake City entirely, and this was done. Now there comes up a wail from the people of that place that they cannot get along without postal fa­ cilities- Lake City has a population of about GOO, and since the postoffice was burned and the postmaster murdered those who formerly tradkacted their postal business there have bad to go a distance of four miles td another postoffice. The Postofflce Department will not even allow the.Lake City people to mail letters on the train, postal clerks having Instructions to close the drop slot on the side of the mail car before reaching that place. The decision to send the Filipino flag captured at Iloilo to the naval academy at Annapolis disposes of a bitter fight be­ tween the army and navy regarding the capture of the capital of Panay. The sailors and marines from the cruiser Bos­ ton went ashore at Iloilo many hours be­ fore Col. Miller landed. They received the surrender of the town and captured tbe flag, but Col. Miller was promoted to be n brigadier general, while the navy people have only the flag. That there may be no mistake about the matter, the flag has been' decorated with an inscrip­ tion, showing it was captured by a land­ ing party commanded by Lieut. Niblack, Feb. 11, 1899. Gen. Shafter at Sau Francisco has been Instructed to establish u model camp at the Presidio for the accommodation of 4.000 volunteers. This is in anticipation of the muster out of volunteer troops soon to be returned from the Philippines. Re­ ports from Gen. Otis indicate that there will be nearly 2,500 sick to leave the isl­ ands. These, as far os possible, will be brought lu.tne in hospital ships. The War Department is making detailed arrange­ ments for the beginning of the homeward movement.

GLASGOW.! “I wrote a letter the day I came to the place where I buy my boys’ clothes,” said Aunt Eleanor. “They came yesterday, and year father brought them when he went to the station. You look just like my Johnny,” she said, kissing him, as ahe looked at him with very tender eyes; “and after awhile you shall eome and see uh all.” Sarah Jane Green took the pattern of the new’suif. and before long nearly every boy within miles around had one ent like it, which Sarah Jane believed looked to exactly like the ready-made on* that they eould not be tr!d apari But noon* else thought and Children.

The postmaster asked what the girl's nathe was. and the child replied, “1 do not know, but it will be on the letter.’’—Woodland Mid. -a . “Oh, I’m pretty hut* to be well by that time. .’"1 keep it in mind, and y.oo’11 be pretty sure to »e* me.” ’ Tony lived on a sheep ranch with hit fa­ ther and hia grandmother and one or two hired men. .Until about a year ago it .had been 20 miles to a post office, and neigh­ bors had been so scarce that weeks would Sometimes pass without their seeing one. But now a railroad came within four miles of them, and a little bit of a village was springing up at the station, ao that Tony mid his friends felt almost like city folks, they sometimes declared. ' The picnic Tony spoke of was for the Sun­ day school at tbe station, which Tony at­ tended, thinking nothing of a Your-mile' walk. • A wefek leased, and Sarah Jane did not come. Tony took to giving a peep at the. brown cloth, which lay ready far hia suit, and then climbing to rtie top of the tallest hitching post outside the door to watch anxiously for her stout figure and jolly, round face. One day he mw a wagon in the far dis­ tance, and hia heart gave a great bound, for there certainly was a woman in it. But, aa. • it drew near, his joy turned to curiosity. The face ’and form of the stranger were not a bit like those of Sarah Jane. But who could it be? “Is this Tony?” she asked. “Yes’ni,” said Tony. • “I am your Aunt EUeanor,” ahe said. “1 have come a long way to see yon.” Aunt Eleanor was hia mother’s sister. Tony found it so pleasant to l>e near her that he spent several hours in the house, al­ most forgetting his suit. She told him all about her boys, and-asked all about whnt he'had learned, seeming sur­ prised to hear that he had read the “Pil­ grim’s Progress,” the “Life of Washington," and half of "Jay’s Lectures,” which wery the only books on the ranch. “But I don’t like *Jay’*;J^ctures' very well.” he admitted to her, at which she laughed, and told him to go out and play. Then Tony climbed on the post again and watched so long and anxiously for Sarah Jane that Aunt Elcanof came out and-asked him about it. And Tony found courage tc tell her all his fears about his new suit. Tony's heart tank lower every day. but be remembered that Sarah Jane could do won­ ders in tbe way of baste with her needle, and ho did not quite despair. But the day befdre the picnic came, and grandmother began baking all aorta of nice things. Tony took a last look nt tbe brown cloth, and then went to her with a swelling heart. “You couldn’t do anything with my old clothes, could you, grandmother?” he said, turning round and round before her. ‘ There were woeful spots on the jacket, but the holes in the sleeves were small, and Tony was thinking hopefull}' of a bottle olbenzine, whi^h had u very bad smell and a wonderful power of sending away the spot* on a boy’s jacket. But the trousers were past all heip—Tony had taken too many climbs on tbe hitching post—and-grandmother shook her head and went on with her bAing. Aunt Eleanor did not lake much notice. So line a lady as she could not be expected to concern herseli about little boys' old clothe*. Tony took a last look down the road, and then went out to pour his griefs, as he always did, into the ears of his pet sheep. He stayed with his fleecy friend- until it was dusky enough to hide his tear-stained face, then ate his bowl of bread and milk and went to bed. . “Here, Tony!” “Quick, Tony!” “Hand that, Tony!" "Carr}- this, Tony!" Such a calling him here and there and everywhere Tony had never heard, as grandmother and Aunt Eleanor filled baskets and packed them in the spring wagon. . And no one could have guessed how1 heavy his heart was as his feet flew nimbly in answer to each de­ mand. “Now run and dress yourself, dear,” said grandmother. Cony looked at her in amazement, with a tear gathering in each eye. “Why, grandmother, don't you know my clothes ain't made?” “Tohy!”cal<ed Aunt Eleanor, “waah your­ self and come up here. You will be late.” Late for what? It could not be that any­ one expected him to go in his old clothes! But Tony always obeyed, and he ot^eysd now, and ran up atairs. What was that which Aunt Eleanor held up before him? Just out of the sunshine which played around the waah bench under the spout, the room seemed almost dark, and it looked as if a boy might be standing there; hut the boy had- neither head nor feet* “Quick!" said Aunt Eleanor, unbuttoning his old jacket. And in ten minutes he stood before her arrayed in a.new suit of soft, iight gray doth, with such buttons and pockets as Tony had never dreamed of. And when he took a peep in the glaaa it looked like some other boy. ' ■ “Where did they come from f^-he managed These are prices on only a few of the new goods I have received this week.

ROUTE WHICH ADMIRAL DEWEY WILL TAKE ON HIS RETURN TRIP FROM MANILA About TiltQua Abroad. DM I HAL DEWEY sailed on his way to the Halted States at 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. Gen. Otis and Ad/A\ mlral Dewey exchanged farewell calls during the morning. All of the warships fired an admiral’s salute and manned <*?■> the sides, the bands playing “Home, Sweet Home** and "Auld Lang Syne” as the .admiral’s flagship sailed away. As Dewey cornea sailing home his voyage through the Indian ocean, Bed sea and Mediterranean will offer to the powers an opportunity to honor the American sailor with naval reviews, parades and banquets on shore. His route takes him first of all to Hong Kong, whence he sailed a trifle over a year ago to smash the don. Dewey yrill sail in the Olympia from Hong Kong to Singapore, thence to Aden and Port Said, Alexandria. Malta, Algiers, Gibraltar Into the. Atlantic. This will enable France, Italy and Great Britain to assemble fleets to act as-escorts or otherwise pay tribute to the American admiral. While It is not known officially that the Olympia will put into any of the ports named. It is certain that If she does the nations in power will see that rhe visits are memorable ones. France has already prepared to make a demonstration in Algiers. The admiral may cruise up the western coast of Europe, as semi-official dispatches indicate that the British wish him to visit the island kingdom. In case he decides to run up to Portsmouth it is probable a fleet will be assembled in the Med­ iterranean under some admiral high In rank to escort the American flagship to her anchorage. The same fleet will also likely attend the Olympia s few leagues to sea on the homeward trip out of Portsmouth. If the admiral sees fit to drop anchor • In any of the porta named he will receive attentions not only from the naval but the civil and military authorities. The Governors of Malta and Gibraltar, while no specific instructions have been made public, will certainly exchange official calls and also extend to Admiral Dewey aqd the officers of his ship the freedom of the port, with a state banquet. Similar courtesies will be extended in the French ports where stops can properly be made. Admiral Dewey will be absolutely free to extend his trip over as much time as he feels will be necessary to respond properly to friendly manifestations. He is not under hurry orders, although he will not delay his return to a home port beyond -a reasonable time. Still, he can exercise his own judgment in the matter. The officers of the bureau of navigation estimate that Admiral Dewey will reach New York about July 30. They figured out that the Olympia will take seventy other stops. These are the. outside figures, STEAMER PARISON THE ROCKS. The American line steamer Paris, for­ merly the United States auxiliary cruiser Yale, .which went ashore while en route from Southampton for New York, strand•d on Lowland point, inside the Manacle rocks, near the scene of the recent fatal wreck of the Atlantic - transport line steamer Mohegan.

In this same dis­ patch Bremen Is taken for the Euro­ pean starting point for the reason that It is reached by steamer from New - York; thence the route Indicated Is from Bremen to St Petersburg in one and a half days; St Petersburg to Vladfivostock, ten days; Vladlvostoek to Ban Francisco by steamer, four and oaoJuilf days; San Francisco to Chi­ cago. three and one-half days; Chicago Bremen, seven days.

But the intense rivalry existing between England"and Russia is to be* taken into account The trans-Siberian road will not be extens­ ively patronized by England—it will be supported by Russian traffic and, in a degree, by German. Time, It is true, is a valuable element in eommefre, but It will be lost sight of by the English while pushing their own interest* in GREAT RAILWAY SYSTEM THAT RUSSIA IS BUILDING. world- is? completed next year It will have been nine years in course of con* structlon. The preliminary plan of“ Its construction was outlined by tip? late Emperor Alexander III. of Russia In hU rescript addressed in May. 1801. to the Csarowltz. Surveys were made for portions of this continuous trans-Sibe­ rian road tn 1887-88. Designed to be­ gin at Chelablnsk, near the boundary between European nud Asiatic Russia, it was to end in Vludivostock ou the Pacific ocean and, together with the system of Russian railroads, was des­ tined for connecting the Baltic Sen with the Pacific. For the sake of facility of construction it was divided into seven Hues under the following names, re­ spectively: The Western Slberinn Rail­ road, 885 miles; the Central Siberian, 1,149 miles; the Baikal Loop Line, 195 miles; the Trans-Baikal Railroad, 689 miles; the Amoor. 1.111 miles; the North Oussouri, 227 miles, and the South Oussouri; 252 miles. So that the total length of the railroad in Asiatic Russia was designed to be 4.507 miles, and the totni distance from St. Peters­ burg to Vludivostock, or from the Bal- tic Sea to the Pacific, was estimated at 6.232 miles. This gigantic work hasbeen prosecuted with marvelous vigor and steadiness and a year ago was de­ clared to be nearing completion. Changes have been necessRatetl in the line by recent events In China— originally only one port ou the Pacific was thought of, Vladlvostoek, and that was to be reached, first, by a northerly and then by a southerly bend entirely through Russian territory. But owing to interests obtained by Russia in Man­ churia It was deemed Inexpedient to follow the line as it was originally sur­ veyed, and accordingly a new line di­ rect from Irkutsk southwest to Vladlvoatoek was adopted. Still more recent events In China have caused another change in the main line to Im* made, and ta consequence not Vladlvostoek but Port Arthur will be the terminus on the Pacific. So tiiat the trans-Siberian Railroad divides Into three prongs as। ■ear approach is made to the Pacific. One prong goes straight oh to Vladl-, voetock, another strikes down through Manchuria and a third bears in a south­ erly direction down to Port Arthur. Either,‘of these latter is a shorter cut to the sea by several hundred miles, the. Fart Arthur route being the shortest: •f the tliree. Vladlvostoek Is not to be abandoued; it "will have Its railroad and be made in consequence a commercial place of Importance, but It has the dis­ advantage of being during oue-balf the fear under snow and Ice. Port Arthur ta open the year round. But this latter port is in China and before Russia de­ cided to extend Its trans-8Iberian RalL. rosd thltber Russia must have come to। ■ satisfactory understanding with। China. Within the present year, then,, BL Petersburg will be connected by sail not only with Vladlvostoek. but: with Port Arthur, and probably within। ■ext year by branch roads with Can­. ton and Pekin. It ts estimated that after the road-Is *-palred after the first few years of traffic the Journey from 8l Petersburg to Pekin wB be made in five days. From London the moat important har­ bor on the Jai«n 8m will be ■eventeen opposition to those of their most, dangcrous rival. England, at any rate until the Nicaraguan canal is construct­ ed. will continue *o support the Cana­ dian Pacific Railroad by her shipments, and at the same time and from, the same source the transcontinental 'lines within the United States will have each a share of benefits. It is for other reasons not to be feared that the course of commerce—of em­ pire—will be changed, turned back on Itself, and made to move toward the east. It has ever been westward go­ ing, and there is every reason to be­ lieve that it will continue in that direc­ tion. Civilization, so far as we know, began in the Euphrates valley, noted to the Nile valley, and then to the east end of the Mediterranean. Rome took It up aud spread it entirely around the Mediterranean, and afterward It drift­ ed out into the Atlantic. There was never any change or shadow of turn­ ing iu the course civilization would pursue in Its march over the world. Meanwhile eastern trade was hud by the advancing nations—first Venice possessed It. then Spain and Portugal, and next Holland aud England. Venice ceased as a world power, and her suc­ cessors to the’ trade of the Orient, while continuing lu the rich traffic, looked ever out toward the west. At length nations surrendered that trade to commercial companies, and them­ selves sought more and more to dis­ cover aud occupy new lands in the dis­ tant west. Exactly three ' centuries ago England'incorporated the East In­ dia company, when England was en­ gaged lu making conquests on the American continent. "Westward the course of empire takes Its way." It was pursuing that course when it left the Atlantic States of this republic and made its way over the Alleghenies and Into the Mississippi valley. Again It was pursuing that course when. In 1549-50, the Pacific'coast was reached, and the Intermediate country began to be occupied by interest lu "empire" Is, recently, limited to States. How far that Interest may ex­ tend and how permanently nobody Just now can say. But it Is absolutely certain that the part the United Stales are to have in the trade aud commerce of the beyond—of all the Asiatic coun­ tries—Is to be Immense and soon to be realized. The completion of the trans­ Siberian railroad Is an event of the greatest significance to* tbip country. It means, first, that Siberia, a country ns large as all North America and about as diversified as respects cli­ mate and soil aud general fertility as large portions of .North America, will be filled up with Industrious people, and that before the twentieth century is half out all Asia will be teeming with new life and sharing modern prosperity. Secondly. It means that the United States will then exchange products on a large scale with Siberia, China and every other country In that quarter of the globe. Then the Pacific Ocean will be white with steam am! sail, as the Atlantic now Is—and our Pacific States will be populated per­ haps not less densely than Japan. The civilization on the Pacific coast will be the best on this continent, and the splendor of its trading and commercial achievements will eclipse anything that has been known Id the past on the eastera side of this continent. Only—the United States hesitates to face about and face the Pacific and the Orient. ent classes and 116.026 settlers. In 1898 on the third section, the Chelabinak., were carried 23,768 passengers and 8.072 settlers. That was thought to be a good beginning, but it Is stated that since T896, the road having been enormously extended and old stations improved and new stations established, the passenger business has largely In­ creased. OfficiaLtables are not at hand, but "it is believe?! that during the last two years not leas than 350,000 emi­ grants ba Ke arrived In Siberia. From all accounts the most of them are con­ tented and doing fairly well. Tim total receipts last year for tran.pot^flon of' passengers end freights were upward of $3,500,000. These figures will serve to change the Ideas many bold of that country. Siberia has ever been re­ garded as a frozen waste, uninhabited except by exiles and quite uninhabit­ able. ' A country that can furnish such an amount of business to a new rail­ road is plainly something very different from that When the road Is completed the pas­ senger business will be largely in­ creased, for the way passenger traffic will Increase, and it 1h certain that thousands every year will prefer’to go all-rail around the world, especially as that way It Is cheaper and quicker. Tickets from Warsaw to Vladivostok cost 120 rubles, or $82.40. From Ix>ndon to Vladlvostoek the cost of a ticket Is $110, first-class; a second-cjass.ticket Is considerably cheaper. A .Chicago person knowing the fare to New York and London can easily calculate the cost of transportation from his city through Europe to Vludivostock. The price of a first-class ticket by the Suez canal to Japan Is $428. Add the price of sleeping berth, twelve nights, by the Siberian routh. and still there is a sav­ ing of $190.. It Is estimated that 1G0,000 first-class passengers will use the new route annually. Expectations equally high are entertained of the freight traffic. Goods going over the road to the east and those coming west will be those that can pay the highest rates,'.such as furs. gold, silver, plat­ inum and tea. As the estimated cost of building and equipping the road Is $160,000,000, the highest earnings It may be capable of will be needed to pay a profit on the investment. But as the road is owned by the Russian Government and as above all._thlngs a military road, pecuniary profits are not what are mainly sought. From almost the first .the activity of the Russians in Siberia has not been confined to building the main line. Branch roads were early contemplated and some of them are completed. The Russian railroad from Ekatrtnburg to the navigable part of the Dwlna is nearly completed and the products of Siberia will thus have nn Important outlet to the White Sea, and hand in hand with the building of the main Siberian water ways connecting with the railroad is progressing. and surreys are preparing for the buildin'g of branch roads to all the more important towns of the various provinces and to the mining districts. Few of these branches will be built, however, until tlie trunk line is completed, for most of the energy and money will be de­ voted to. the main road until the greffT project Is an accomplished fact An enormous part of the country that is tributary to the Siberian Railroad is. amply blessed by nature and is capa­ ble of supporting an enormous popu­ lation. This road will be the main fac­ tor in the next century In the develop­ ment of an important fraction of the earth's surface. We have only to glance over the list of the projected lines connecting the Siberian road with China to get an idea of the immense in­ fluence wblA Russia is certain to wield over all the Interests of Eastern Asia.

Siberian Gentleman's Life. “For live months of the year the Sibe­ rian man of fashion lives in the open air, either at the mining camp or in the hunting field," says Thomas G. Allen, Jr., In Ladles' Home Journal. "He Is an early bird under all circumstances, and Invariably rises between 7 and 8 o'clock, although he may have had but a couple of hours' rest. Nearly every meal Is succeeded by a nap. However, dressing operations do not take very long, for when he retires the Siberian only divests himself of his coat and boots. Shirts are unknown In Siberia, and In many houses beds, also. The samovar Is set on the dining-room table at 8 a. m., together with eggs, black and white bread, sardines.

"Among the plantation negroes In the old times," writes a correspondent, "the naming of a child was a matter of great moment Since they all had the same surname, the distinction had ta be made in some other Way. And since there were 100 or more to be named, the Bible, classics, literature and his­ tory were culled from very freely by the master or some other member of the family to assist the parents in this ipatter. Among the various names I recall this was the most original one: Elijah the Prophet Lucius K. Polk Mars Abberth L---- .

For stopping the growth of horns upon calves this mixture has been suc­ cessfully used In experiments conduct­ ed by the United States- Department of Agriculture Bureau of Animal Indus­ try. Take fifty parts caustic soda, twenty-five parts of kerosene oil, aud twenty-five parts of water. An emul­ sion Is made of the oil jjnd soda by tff-atlng and vigorously*stlrrlDg, and this Is then dissolved lu water. The mixture should be placed In a bottle ■with a solid rubber cork. The calves should not be over three weeks old, from five to twenty days being the proper age. A horn will sometimes be killed that Is even from four to six weeks old, but it can not be depended upon with certainty. In applying the aolution the following directions should be observed: With a pair of scissors dip the hair around the embryo horn so as to expose a spot about the size of a nickel. While an assistant holds the calf securely drop two or three drops of the mixture on the horn, aud with the ends of the rubber cork rub It thor­ oughly In over the bare spot. Apply the fluid first to one born, then the other, until each has received three or four applications. The rubbing should be continued until the caustic has soft­ ened and removed the hair aud surface •kin around the horn. Care should be taken that the fluid does not spread over too large a surface or run down the side of the face.—The Jersey Hus­ tler. Good drainage, natural or artificial, is essential to success. Trees are Im­ patient of wet feet. Good tillage increases the available food supply of the soil' and also con­ serves Its- moisture. Tillage should be begun just as soon as the ground la dry enough in the spring, and should be repeated as often as once In ten days throughout the growing season, which extends fr-im spring until July or August Only cultivated crops should be al­ lowed in orchards early In the season. Grain and hay should never be grown. Even hoed or cultivated crops may rob the trees of molature and fertility if they are allowed to stand above the tree roots. Watch a sod orchard. It will begin to fail before you know It Probably uine-tenths of the hpple or­ chards are In aod. and many of them are meadows. Of course, they are failing. The remedy for these apple failures Is to cut down many of the orchards. For the remainder, the treatment Is cultivation, fertilization, spraying—the trinity of orthodox apple growing. Potash Is the chief fertilizer to be ap­ plied to fruit trees, particularly, after they .come into bearing. . Potash may be had in wood ashes aud muriate of potash. It is most com­ monly used in the latter form. An an­ nual apllcatlon of potash should be made upon, bearing orchards, 500 pounds to the acre. Phosphoric acid is the second im­ portant fertilizer to be applied arti­ ficially to orchards. Of the plain su­ perphosphates from 300 to 500 pounds may be applied to the acre. Nitrogen can be obtained cheapest by means of thorough tillage (to pro­ mote nitrification) and ultrogenoua green manures. Barn manures are generally more economically used when applied to farm ergps than when applied to or­ chards; yet they can be used with good results, particularly when rejuvena­ ting the old orchards. Cultivation may be stopped late In the season, and a crop can then be sown qpoil the land. This crop may serve as a cover or protection to the soil, and as a green manure.—Prof. Bailey, Cornell University. The tomato rot Is caused by a fungus which’ Is blown by the wind from plant to plant or carried by Insects. The itest preventive for this disease is to plant on fresh sod ground that has been fallplowed, and use well-rotted manure mixed with a little phosphate. As soon as the young fruit commences to form, spray the vines with the Bordeaux mixture after the dew is off. The vines should be sprayed once every ten days. The spraying not only, kills the ftmgUR, but It helps the growth of the vines; larger, finer and more perfect fruit can be grown when the vines are thoroughly sprayed. It takes’but one hour to spray thoroughly five hundred vines.

One life la re­ ported lost and several were injured. A tornado swept over the northwest part of Mills County, Iowa, doing consid­ erable damage to farm property and ruin­ ing crops. The house and barn and out­ buildings of John Rohrburg, a prominent farmer living two miles north of Mineola, were totally destroyed, his little girl, aged 11 years, was killed, one of his boys had c leg broken aud tfie balance of the fam­ ily were more or less seriously injured. Barns and corn cribs were destroyed and farm implements scattered. A cyclone formed about three miles southwest of Kingsley, Iowa, and moved north about one mile, where it struck and demolished the large barn and outbuildings on the William Adams farm west of town. From this place it moved north to the farm own­ ed by W. A. Stevens, where it demolished every building on the place. A family by the name of Johnson, who lived at thia place, whs saved by going into the cave. In Routh Dakota the damage was nil confined to the farms. No loss of life is believed to have occurred.

Mab’s face was tearful and pleading when she closed the door of their sitting "Caroline," »he gasped out, “you will be shocked and pained, but ft is my duty to tell you! You have been deceived." "What do you mean?" asked the other, turning somewhat pale. . • “I 'mean—I mean," faltered Mab, "that the night before last Dick asked me to run dqwn to tbe pool and fetch a box of fliro which he bad left there, and which be­ longs to uncle; and, as there was ho op­ portunity to go before bed time, I went after we had nald good nighL-to Uncle John. When I got to the ixjat house I—I •aw— Oh. dear Caroline, you caii guess what is coming, can't you?’ “No, indeed, I can’t, Mab," her sister answered, iu a cool, hard tone. "Pray ex­ plain yourself.” “What—you cannot guess what I saw?’ cried Mabel, in a thrilling tone. “You do not know? I saw a man, Caroline, and I **w you—you!" "Me?’ said Caroline, in a perfectly nat­ ural tone of surprise. "What can you xnean, Mab? I bad gone to bed.” “Caroline, do you suppose I could make a mistake in your identity—that I do qot know your .voice, yoqr figure? Why, I was not two paces from you. Oh. don’t be afraid to trdst me, dear, for I only wish you to Im? happy, and not to be cruelly de­ ceived. And before you came down to the boat house, when I wa* afraid to move out of the fhadow for fear of being seen my­ self by that man, I caught the words he was muttering to himself about you; and tie is oiily pretending to feed adoration for you just for his own end*. He said-----" But here Caroline interrupted her haughtily. “Have you taken leave of your senses, Mabel? Do you understand what you are .accusing me of—me—your elder sister? How dare you say such a thing! Take care, or I shall complain to my undef’ Mab sprang up from her kneeling pos­ ture; facing Caroline with resolution. "Oh, Caroline, you cannot mean to deny itr “To deny what?" asked the elder girl. “That you were in the boat house with that stranger—th’at you talked with him— that you spoke to him ns if you were affi­ anced to him—thjat you promised to take, something to London for him while be was abroad—that be »;wke of coming to ask your hand of father, but not until his own hands were full of gold.” And, out of breath with haste and painful emotion, Mabel paused, looking entreatingly at her «ister. But Caroline drew herself up with a dis­ dainful air. . I “I tell you what it is, Mab," she said, "you will get yourself into trouble some day—real trouble—Ityou go running out at night when you are supposed to be in bed, in order to do.Dick’s errands. What would Unde John say if he knew it? If yon pre­ sume to say another word about me in connection, with this absurd story, I shall tell him what occurred. Be good enough to ascertain the truth, of a matter before you run away -with a ridiculous tale about yonr own sister." "Oh, Caroline. Caroline.'" was all Mab could utter. “You will listen to me now. if- yo* please," said Caroline, with a prond ges­ ture; “I shall not detain you loug, I -promise you. I have no doubt whatever that you did actually see some man and some woman down by the boat house on tbe night before last, and that in your fright and excitement—and you become more and more excitable every day—yon connected the woman with me from some fancied resemblance." . , “Then you deny it,” gasped Mab—"you deny it all?” Caroline gave her a look of supreme dis­ dain. but would not answer, and unhappy Mattel was left alone. Poor Mab! She*was so young, so sur­ rounded by impending troubles, and she had no counselor but Dick. To him she had only time to whisper a sentence or two after the midday meal. "Ob, Dick. Caroline denies it all, and threatens to tell uncle! She Insists that I made a mistake; bn; It is no mistake." Dick had given her a troubled look full of sympathy, but bad not been able to speak, for the others were within hearing; and", a* sbe sat under a thorn tree on the l*wn after they had driven away, she brooded sadly over what had happened. Oblivious of outer impressions, she did Dot notice that a carriage in which were seated an elegantly dressed lady and a tall, handsome man. who wa* driving, had honor. But the noise of tbe house bell sounding over the lawn and the grinding of wheels upon toe gravel caused Mabel to become aware that visitor* had called at ber uncle'*. "What a good thing that I am not ’out* yet,” she thought, "for I have no heart to *ee visitors!” But, lest they should discover her, »be left the shady seat l^eneath the thorn tree, and. sheltered by the bushes, gained the ■sweep of greensward where stood the sum­ mer bouse forever memorable in Mab's •eyes. , "What a hero he would have been lu ■olden times!” said the girl to herself, thinking of Lord Wynmore. while a glow camo to her cheeks and ber eyes bright­ ened, notwithstanding her despondency. “Oh, I hope that I shall hare a little talk to him again before we go home! What a pity that no one but Dick must ever know bow good he wa* to me!" She sat down on a garden seat, waiting till she should hear tbe carnage roll aaray; him anything, but she only said, with a charming blush: . — “I-did not know whose carriage______ _ and sol got out of sight, for my unde and sister, are out." -“And you will pardon me for coming upon you like thia?* be went on, holding her hand for a moment “I am afraid I hare presumed on your informal Intro­ duction in ray anxiety to Introduce you to my slater,.who arrived unexpectedly last night, and threatens to remain with me only eight days, as she is going abroad. We are to hasten our fete; hence thia visit to beg you to grace it with your presence a* yon oromiseu;" and he looked anxiously into Mabel’s eyes for her answer "Oh. I shall be most pleased to come," she exclaimed, “if Unde John permits It!” “We must manage to persuade him. But did he not promise? Without you there I should feel as if I cared nothing for tbe fete;’’‘and Lord Wynmore spoke these last words in a tone which aqy girl so young as Mabel would have been sure to remember. * “But there sits my sister waiting to make your acquaintance," added he. "May I bring her In here?" "Your sister? Has she been waiting all this time? How rude I must seem!" cried Mabel, raising her eye* ..nd perceiving that the carriage had been drawn up at the roadside, and that a groom in faultless Uvery was at the horses' heads. In an­ other moment she was faltering out her excuses to a fashionably attired lady very like Lord Wynmore, but a year or two older. Soon they were all seated in the shade; and in a minute or two a footman brought out tea and strawberries; theu Mabel had to turn hostess for the first time in her life. They were still at their tea when tbe family carriage drove up. .Uncle John approached hia visitors with smiles of welcome on his usually cross face; nor did Caroline allow any trace of her anger against her sister to appear. Indeed, on this occasion Mr. John Charl­ ford was quite gracious. and readily prom­ ised to accompany his nieces and nephew to the garden party. Even when the visitors hud departed Uncle John's good humor did not vanish. He called Mabel to take a turn with him up nnd down the terrace, and asked her questions about their visitors—how long the/ bad been there before his return, how she had managed to entertain them, e>t cetera. Then Mabel told her unde about the program for the fete and tbc'iconcert on the water. Mr. Charlford smiled as he listened, nodded approval once or twice, and then inquired If Mabel wanted a new drera for the garden party. “I think I have all I want, thank you, uncle," replied the girl. But here Caroline interposed. ' "Uncle," she said, “I am sure you would not like Mabel to wear anything but a new dress on such an occasion; and she has nothing but a washing-silk that has been worn a dozen times, which is not at all the thing for a fete at the Manor. When a girl is not ’out’ she has not a new evening costume always ready; so Mabel must get one at once, and I had bet­ ter go to London and choose It for ber." line," replied Mr. Charlford; “and you will know what is suitable. Better go to­ morrow.” “She has made my dress an excuse to go to London to do that man’s bidding!” thought Mabel, trembling, as she heard her Mister’s words. The next day, when Caroline, with tri­ umph in her eyee, had gone up tp-'lown. Mab and her brother felt that, ir Uncle John had to meet his nun of business, which would occupy him a large part of the day, they would have unwonted free­ dom from restraint, and could do what they liked nnd go where they pleased. “Isn't this delightful, Mab?" said Dick, throwing his cap into the ait with boyish pleasure, as he and she watched Uncle John out of sight, aud realized that they could do just as they chose for several hours to come. s’Tt would be heavenly," replied Mab, “if I could forget about Caroline. But, oh! Dick, I am certain that she has gone to London'on that stranger's business! She still denies everything; isn't that terri­ ble?” "Ye*. It's pretjy bad, telling a downright falsehood like that, nnd persisting in it," said Dick. "Dear Dick," said Mab. "Oh. what can we say to Caroline to convince her of the danger she is in?" r .. “I don’t know yet. Mnb;Tll think abdut it,” answered Dick, rising with a sup­ pressed sigh. "Let us go down to the pool now, Mab, and have a row," he added; “there we shall be all to ourselves. Dfl pull you under the old willow tree on the other side of the water, and we will have a few hours* pleasant idleness' at any They walked on through the rich grass down to the pool. “Here we are!’’ exclaimed Dick, as he unmoored the boat, after having arranged the cushions for Ma£. “Oh, Dick, I almost wish we had not come after all!" she remarked, in a trou­ bled tone. “It makes me think ao much of what I saw*here that night!” Discuss the matter as they might, they could not get enlightenment, direction, as they sought. Caroline was the mystery. They derided to make another strong ap­ peal to her upon her return. They were seated with their ancle that next evening, wondering why Caroline bad not returned ou the late afternoon train, when a bell echoed through the house, and immediately afterward Bailey, one of the men servants, entered and pre­ sented to his master an envelops on a sil­ ver tray. “ft is a telegram!

The beau­ tiful scenery, the tresh, invigorating air, the songs of birds and the nodding of wijdwood Howers are entrancing. But in order to enjoy the drive to the fullest pos­ sible extent one must have a rig which is right—good horses, with plenty of life, yet safe; stylish vehicle, strong and easy: good harness, robes, dusters and everything complete. When you want to drive, with that kind of a turnout, and at a reeonable price, you will of course go to SCHEIDT’S LIVERY � https://www.barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/20/581/NashvilleNews_1899-06-16.pdf 052a2a9ead9d6d36914a30f5db07a924 PDF Text Text NASHVILLE.

All were signed "A. Filton.” and all bore marks of being for­ eign letters sent to someone across the •ea. One passage particularly struck D*Ck: "1 inclose the draft of agreement pro poaed. There is no time to lose; you know. how reckless he is. But there Is one comfort; we are all in the same boat! “Is this the agreement spoken of.' thought Dick, unfolding a thicker sheet of paper, on which several items were jotted “Consents to settle in Oregon. Would Bke the climate. Would accept four thou­ sand pounds more. Has evidently no idea •f the real value of the property, or would demand forty thousand. Is intent on amassing capital, and intends to do so by exporting horses. Is impatient to start, and wants the money by the 25th of March. Demands a good gold Efiglish made chronometer, and a case of brandy in addition. We are to be unmolested if we comply with the above, which 1 have roughly thrown into an agreement. On his pert he declares that he shall consider that he has received full payment for all services on pocketing this additional sum. For heaven’s sake come, and get it over!" Startled as Dick was on scanning these lines, lie was yet more so on unfolding a page which contained the names of him­ self and of his sisters, with the dates of their birth and of his own. His mother’s Christian name, “Theodora Ulvina Caro­ line," was addt>d, followed by the date ot her wedding with his father, “Richard James Cbarlford.” .Underneath was trac-. ed, in strangely familiar characters: “There must be no mistake about these." But who -would make a mistake con­ cerning such well-known facts? Not his father certaifaly—not his uncle, who had lived in close intimacy with his brother all his life. « Rising nt length it'i a sort of desperation from his task. Dick replaced the papers, more bewildered than ever, and with an added sense of the certainty that there waa something disgraceful concealed-— something which could not be shown to the world—connected with his family. CHAPTER X. The day of the fete bad dawned,' and •lough nothing outwardly had occurred of a particular nature to mark the flight of the intervening time, yet a very great deal had passed in those inner regions ofthe soul which form in truth the real life. Dick had become more and more con­ vinced that a dark mystery would some day or other disclose itself; and it was the same with Mab, though she struggled against the conviction, though Dick hud avoided going into details concerning the content* of the box, and though her youthful heart was thrilling with that ra­ diant dream of joy which comes with a first and a pure affection. “Father will come back prepared to make Dick and me feel our iniquity," thought Mabel, as she seated herself in the barouche. "But no matter! I shall see Neville Wynmore once again—I shall have sweet recollections of the Manor. There are some things which can never be taken away from us!" That day always seemed like a dream to her. Midnight had sounded before the fete was over. Mabel stood on the terrace, thinking ' that she would soon now have said goodby to Lord Wynmore. “I bare had what I wished so much! I ought now to be content—more than con­ tent." she said, within herself; but yet she felt very s»d. "Miss Charlford. I have been looking for you everywhere!" said Ldrd Wynmore's voice at her elbow. "Won’t you take one turn with me in the grounds?" Mabel’s heart throbbed with wild, un­ reasoning joy. One more walk with him, a few more words exchanged between them, which she would treasure for ever­ more! Silently she put her hand upon ‘his arm, and under bis guidance she soon found herself apart from the throng which filled the flower garden, and in a broad, _green alley overshadowed by trees. "1 could not let you gn away without asking when I am to see you again," he said, lightly clasping the slencler fingers which lay on his arm. She did not withdraw her hand, and he went on— "You are staying some weeks longer at the Court, I hope?” “Oh. no; my father is coming home next week! We shall go back immediately," she answered, faltering a little when she alluded to her father. “And are you not pleased to go home?" he said, quickly. “Pleased?" she cried. “How could we be pleased? Father is so stern; and Dick and 1 have got into trouble! But we shall get through it, aa we hare man;, a time before—only it is worse a good deal this time." “What is worse? Who dares to make you unhappy? Oh, Mabel," be cried, for­ getting hia fears, forgetting all save that he longed to take her tar away from every kind of trouble—"oh, Mabel, don’t you un­ derstand that my lore for you began the moment that I first saw your divinely beautiful face? Teach me how to win your affection, my own beloved!" And then, his heart beating wildly, he paused for an answer. It came in.the shape of n burat of tears which she could notg-estrain; and noon she was sobbing bn his breast, and faltering out Incoherently a response to his p?*s’ronate pleading.

CITY OF PARIS ABANDONED. * ■ | ' [ j | ; • I I American Liner Turned Over 1o the Marine Undertakers. James A. Wright, second vice-president of the International Navigation Company, said in New York Monday that the com­ pany had abandoned the American liner Paris, stranded off the Cornwall coast, to the marine underwriters. The ship La insured for $1,000,000, which is divided among about forty companies, fifteen of which are in New York. The underwriters will make one more effort to drag the ahip off the rocks, and. If they are unsuccessful, they will break her up. The cargo of the Pari*, which has been taken out of her, was insured for $242,­ 000. The salvors will claim about onethird of thia. Mr. Wright says that the American line has received Captain Wat­ kins’ report of the stranding, but that it will not be made- public until the investi­ gation by the Government of the'eause of the accident. Gen. Hall’s campaign against the Phil­ ippine insurgents under Gen. del Pilar st the north of Laguna de Bay continues vigorously. The American lines across the Morong peninsula, extending six miles from Morong on the east to Antipolb and Taytay on the west, began gradually clos­ ing Ln Monday morning, and the advance down the peninsula begun. The operations begun by the Americans Saturday morning with a view to entrap­ ping and erushing Del Piter’s forces about Anti polo were distinguished *t»y heroic marches and brilliant attacks. The plan was to have Gen. Hall attack'the Insur­ gents at Antipolo and drive them oown toward Laguna de Bay, while Col. Whal­ ley, with a strong foree, should advance from Paaig end attack the rebels in front, thus crushing them. The plan as original­ ly conceived could not be carried out ow-. Ing to the adverse conditions*under which Gen. Hall advanced on Antipolo. What he expected to do in two hours took seven. His troops had to swim unfordable rivers and wade through swamps to their waists all under a scorching sun. It was early afternoon before Hall's troops, who had left the pumping station at 5 in the morn­ ing, reached the valley of Antipolo to the northwest and in the rear of the insur­ gents at Taytay and Cainta. Seeing that Hall could not get to his position for a combined attack on the ene-. my on time, Gen. Lawton ordered CoL Whalley to.advance on Cainta and Taytay and engage the enemy moderately until Gen. Hall, coming down the Antipolp val­ ley in the rear, could co-operate. Col. Whalley's advagee on Cainta was brilliant. His troops swept across the four miles of open country at a rapid pace, with a swift mewing skirmiah line in front. The Twelftfrregulars wore on the left or northern flank, and the North Dakotas stretched along between Cainta and the shore of Laguna de Bay. A battery held the central position in the North Dakota line, and began shelling the town at fourmile range. Meanwhile Gen. Hall was coming down the valley toward Tkytay, which is only a few miles cast of Cainta, on the shore. He had had a running fight with Filipinos all day, :he first encounter being at Monte in the San Mateo foothills. The insurgents were driven out of Monte and surrounded on three sides by the Ore­ gon regiment, a sharp fight folio-wing, and before the enemy was repulsed the Oregons last three men killed and six wound­ ed. Gen. Hall entered Taytay meeting little resistance, the insurgents fleeing to Mo­ rong on the southeast. Shortly afterward his forces collected on the shore with the North Dakotas, composing Col. Whalley's right advance line. Gen. Hal! occupied Antipoio, and Col. Whalley's forces came through Cainta and united with them, the combined force then advancing on Mo­ rong, which was captured after a sharp battle. During the night Gen. Lawton had brought troops to Morong by water, and these advanced and connected with Hall’s troops, forming a chain across the penin­ sula. A few Filipinos slipped through the American lines and escaped northward. The heat is terHfic.and frequent showers cause a deadly humidity. Hospital boats returning to Manila Monday morning brought 200 soldiers, who were suffering from heat prostration. The country botween Manila and the field of operations offers insurmountable obstacles to the transportation of supplies, and the wagon communication from Manila through the San Mateo valley has been abandoned. Provisiope and ammunition are being sent via the Pasig river. RETRIAL FOR DREYFUS. Court of Caaaatlon Decides for a Revision of the Case. A retrial by court martial was ordered in the case of Captain Dreyfus by the court of cassation at Paris. President Mnzeau. in announcing that the prisoner's condemnation had been quashed, reviewed the evidence, pointing out that the cap­ tain's innocence was clearly proved. The decision of the court of cassation was greeted with cheers. It is believed to mean acquittal for the exile. The new court martial will sit at Rennis, sixty miles from Nantes.

Recently twenty-seven eowa affected with tuberculosis according to the testa made, were killed nt Wolf* daughter houwe at the Chicago *:ock yard* and dty health authoritie* attended the dissection of these cattle. The cows came from the Loose dairy farm lit Sangamon County, near Bpringfield, which had la-cn furnish­ ing the Governor and other occupants of the executive mansion with milk, butter aud other dairy products. Examination proved that the animals were suffering from tuberculftsht In the most virulent form. Ont of the whole number of cows killed in the presence of the Governor only two were found whose disease was not developed to such'an ex­ tent that their carcasses had to be condetnnod and consigned to the “tanks," th«rc to be turned into tallow. In the two exceptions to the condemnstioa process the freshly killed cattle, it developed, were also infeejed with tubcrculrfr germs, but not in such a pronounced degree as the majority. . - After the post-mortem examination of the tuberculosis rows killed Gov. Tuner said: “I am convinced that tuberculosis bus made a more general invasion of live stock than is generally believed, and I also am confident if not remedied by pro­ per laws and a liberal appropriation by the State will have results more serious than the mere loss of cattle. I shall rec­ ommend at the next meeting of the Legis­ lature that the Blate Board of Live Stock Commiatuoners Ik* given an appropriation of at least (50,000 with which to carry on the work of exterminating tuberculosis cattle. My observations lead me to be­ lieve that it is unsafe to drink milk which is not known positively to be non-tuberculous. The cattle which I have wmhi slaughtered and dissected, and which I saw were saturated with tuberculosis, ten days ago were furnishing milk* to my fam­ ily. I never questioned its purity. I am glad my eyes have been opetiexl. The re­ cent awakening of public interest on the subject will have practical results.” The bureau of milk inspection has been at work for some time preparing state­ ments of the prevalence of tuberculosis in Chicago's milk. I Th* great difference between the price of home-grown pork and store bacon makes It a paying Job for a farmer .to smoke his own meat, at least for home consumption. A smoke­ house Is a fine thing on any farm, but like many fine things, la something of g luxury. There are many farmers who cannot afford a well arranged smokebouae. For the benefit of these we give below the aketch and description of a smoke-box which will supply the farmer's table with bacon at no ex­ peuse and littlg trouble. f It is made of a box about 5x3 feet and 4 feet high. It Is without bottom. The door for putting In and tending the mefit Is put in the side of the-box next the top. This Is about a foot wide, with hinges on the lower side. Staples are driven In the ends of the door (A. Fig. 4) with hooks (B) to slip Into the staples and hold (the door In place when closed. For hanging tin meat bore holes through the top of the box, far enough apart so that the ' pieces win not touch when hung. To hang the meat, take stout cord or plia­ ble wire, fasten one end Into .the meat and run the other through the auger holes after fbrmiug.a loop of 1L Run a stick through the loop and your ham is secure. A fire put In the box would make It too warm for the contents. To guard against this, the fire that furnishes the smoke is some distance from the box, being conducted to it through a cover_ed trench or several joints of old stove­ pipe. For the fireplace, dig a hole a foot or so in depth, a short distance from the box—<1 feet Is far enough— and connect it with the box by a trench BOX 8MOKK-HOU8K. about half ns deep as the hole. If a couple or three Joints of old stovepipe are at hand, place them In the trench with the upper end coming out under the box near the center. An old elbow Joint makes this an easy thing to do. The other end of the pipe is to enter -the hole. Then cover the pipe over with the loose dirt thrown out Also bank up the smoke-box and calk all cracks possible. There will be enough ■moke escape at best to Insure the re­ quired draught When ready for the fire...start one In an old kettle or pan.

Joint As tile are usually laid It is Im­ possible t6 prevent there being a crack wide enough" to admit the fibrous roots of a tree,, which go everywhere in search of moisture. In the. tile the tree 'root expands until the tile Is entirely filled, and the drain is ruined. Almost any large tree will do this, but the worst of all trees arc the willow, elm and locust. All of these love water, and none of them should tie allowed t<? grow near underdrains or- wells. In some parts of the country willows and locusts are planted In dooryards. Rut If near a well, even if the well be roof­ ed over, their roots will find their way to the water, and spoil it for use. How to Irrigate Crops. One of the beat short cuts In water­ ing all crops planted'tn rows is the use of small tubes or boxes made of lath. They are made by sawing common plastering lath in three pieces, sixteen inches long, then rip one piece in the center and nail together with two or three penny nails, so the tubes will be square, the width of a lath, about Inches on the outside, and a little leas than three-quarters of an Inch on the Inside. This will also allow a stream of water sufficiently large*for ordinary soils. These tubes should be placed one at the upper end of each Irrigation •furrow, connecting It with the feed ditch. Have the feed ditch as near level as possible. If the feed ditch has too much fall the wash will fill up the ends of the tubes. It can be remedied by placing) checks or sluice boxes at projier intervals with gates sufficiently high to back the water up far enough to make the water stand nearly still. Occasional cleaning of the tubes with a small switch Is all that is necessary. With this arrangement nil that Is re­ quired to Irrigate a field Is to turn the water Into the feed ditch and let It run until the ground Is thoroughly soaked, which Is a saving of a great deal of time and attention.—F? S. Cal­ kins, In St Louis Globe-Democrat. There Is an Impression among farm* era that hogs In summer at pasture can get enough with the swill from the house and what they can get In the fields. This was all right so long ns sklm-mllk, one of the best foods for growth, was part of the swill, and un­ eaten refuse *rom the table was also thrown lnu_ gjjit In many places the skimmed male Sis now sold in some form, whicmeut (otter use for table re­ fuse is found in giving It to the poul­ try. Bo the pig Is starved In summer, which Is the time he ought to grow the fastest, and Is the poorest prepara­ tion for the heavy corn feeding that will begin in September and continue until the pig Is turned over to the butcher. A half-starved animal loses the power of digesting hearty food, for the stomach, like every other organ of the body, needs to have something to do to keep in good health and strength. Manila advices **y that Gen. Lawton has occupied Parnnaque and the village of .Malibu?, to the north, and I*a» Pinas, to the south, preparatory to moving upon Bacoor, whence the insurgents fled during the night. The natives deaerted Paranaque and the trenches south of Manila, finding the Americans behind them, and escaped along the coast. Only alleged amigos were found in Paranaque. An American fbree, 4.500 strong. Satur­ day drove the insurgents from the entire district between Manila bay and Bay lake, from Ban Pedro NaiatiJto Paranaque. The natives resisted the advance, attack­ ing the United States troops while they were crossing a swamp and fighting from well-built intrencbmrnts, but were routed with heavy loss. lu one trench fifty dead Filipinos were found. The American loss was two officers killed and twenty-one sol­ diers wounded. The cx'reme heat and rough country added to the difficulty of The movement. Many of the United States" soldiers were farced to drop out exhaust­ ed. Four warships, including the monitor Monadnock, shelled the town of- Para­ naque, driving the natives out.

Agents of the Cali­ fornia flg-growers who were sent to Smyrna to study the methods used In that country, where the best and larg­ est supply of figs come from, found that the trees were fertilized by a curi­ ous bee, which carried the pollen from flower to flower.

The steamer Lamade brings news to Seattle from Alaskan ports telling that the deaths of miners through hardship and disease along the Edmonton trail already foot up over 200 out of the 2,000 who started in over that route. Many-of these got out last year, but it Is believed that, many more fatalities will be reported among those who remained behind. Of those still iu the camps, a low estimate of those lying sick of scurvy and similar afflictions places the number at 400. Heartrending details were told at Wraugel by some of the survivors, them­ selves at death’s door, after the terribto sufferings of a year in the interior. Only the most vigorous have been able to make their way to the coast, and several hun­ dred nre still in peril. Those who reached Wrangel arc mere skeletons. They were totally ignorant of the happening* In the outside world for nearly a year before they reached Glenorn and listened open­ mouthed to the details of the war with Spain. After three or four months on the trail the prospectors gave up all hope of reach­ ing the Klondike, and thought only of saving their lives. Some had lived on de­ cayed horse meat, and others on such game as they could kill. They tell, terrible tales of the sufferings at the scurry comps at -Mud river and Dease lake, to which places the Hudson Bay Company and the Northwestern po­ lice are preparing to send assistance. Among the scores of deaths reported are those of Arthur M. Collins, an old British Columbia miner, and C. Richter, a New York business man, who shot themselves in despair. C. I’. Smith of St. Louis and W. I*. Munson of Chicago wore drowned trying to cross Mud river just before the freeze up. I’. Nealy, a prospector from Sault 8te. Marie. Mich., was.found dead in his tent on Laird river. A. M. John­ son, formerly a farm hand near Chicago, is one of those who succeeded in reaching Wrangel. No more volunteer troop* will be called for at present, ss President McKinley and ? his advisers have decided io await further developments in the Philippines. The President is strongly opposed to making another call for volunteers, and as Gen. Otis has within 6,000 of the number of troops needed, the President believes these can be withdrawn from Cuba, Porto Rico and the garrisons of the United States. While there are now only about 12,000 troop* in Cuba, the encouraging repbrta w received from Gen. Wood, the governor of the province of Santiago, lead Presi­ dent McKinley to believe this number can be further reduced. In the event that only about 10,000 troops should be needed thera may not be a call, but the President may •imply appoint a number of commissioned officer* and authorise the recruiting offi­ cers to enlist the number of men needed. There is confusion in the Postoffice De­ partment on account of the non-unlfonnity observed in the spelling of the names of postoffices. In the bonding diviaion the name of a small poitoffice will often be spelled in one way and in the postal guide in another. This is because the fourth assistant Poetmaster General names the fourth-class offices, as they are establiahed, and it is in thia class that nearly all the differences occur, while the postal guide is edited in the office of the chief clerk of the department. Between . the editor of the guide and clerks of the fourth assistant’s division there is little harmony and hence we have in so many instances two set* of postofflee names. ft—:■ Roberts, the alleged polygamist from Utah, ia on the roll of the next House of Representative* in the office of Clerk Mc­ Donald.

THE PUTNArt CASE. ■ . So many of our people-are interested ’ tlie strange death of Lyman Putnam »t Hillsdale last week, that we repro­ duce the following particulars, given "by the Hillsdale Democrat. The in­ quest has been adjourned until to-mor­ row, when it is possible some new light xnat be thrown on the case. . Lyman S. Putnam, a farmer, 59 years of age, whose farm is about five miles ‘ . asouthwest of this city in Cambria township, died at noon Wednesday, after lyingln an unconscious condition einoe the preceding Monday. On Monday he assisted the women of ’ the house, his wife and daughter, aged eighteen years, in getting out the ■washing. At about nine o’clock went to the barn with a horse, which had been grazing in tbeyard. He remained *t the barn until carried into the house al seven o’clock.in the erening’by An□son Baker and Ora Pease, two neighlx>r» who were called by Mrs. Putnam, and who found him lying on the barn ffioor in a dying condition.

Green -ranted to. bor*row*a chalk Hue, and asked Putnam for it. ihitnam told him hecould have :it, and told him where it was. (In the old house,) When Green came out of itbe barn, Mrs. Putnam asked him whether he had seen Putnam, and whether be, Green, thought there was autything the matter with him: After this Mrs Putnam went out to the barn sum! found him lying on the hay—states that she poked his feet with a hand jrake, at which there was some move­ ment on his part. She called him to •dinner, but he did not come or answer. Toward evening she went to tbebarn and peeked into a crack, to see if he1 ' va« stijl there, and found that he hud left the hay-mow. She then went around where she cohid see him lying on .the barn floor, where he was p’eked * up /by Baser and Pease, whom stw called. • Drs.

Putnam had ubadly "bruisedhead. Three bad bruises, were found, and the barn, wh**re he laid showed some very strange and mys­ terious things. Blood was found on •hay, blood in the interior of the barn, blood in a number of places: a fork was fouud besmeared with it, and a, band-rake, which Mrs. Putnam says she .used to poke him up with, aljjo had blood on it. A post-mortem examination was held on ’.Wednesday, when more mystery eaaue in.

Llagsring Ilf new. Congressman Richard P. Bland, better known as "Silver Pick." died Thursday morning on his farm, about three miles from Lebanon. Mr. Bland had been at­ tacked by the grip some time ago and it soon developed into illnew of a serious nature. The direct cause of his demise wra nervous prostration. Richard Barks Bls nd. was born Aug. 19, 1885. near Hartford, Ky. He wrtit to Missouri when about 20 years old. and fire years later went to California and thence to Utah. He practiced law there among the miners, and had ample opportu­ nity to study the mineral interests and the relative output of gold and silver. There he absorbed the doctrine of bimetal­ lism. He returned to Missouri in 1886, locating at Rolla, in Phelps County, and in 1869 removed to Lebanon, his late home. His most noted measure was a bill for the free aud unlimited coinage of silver, restoring 412>*i grains of standard silver as the dollar, and the unit of value. After passing the House it was amended in the Senate by Senator Allison, and was known as the Bland-Allison law. It was vetoed by President Hayes aud passed by both houM-s over his veto. In 1894 Mr. Leland, the Republican can­ didate, defeated him for Congress by a narrow majority, but Jhe silver champion was re-elected two years later aud-again in 1898. Before the Chicago convention no man was named oftener as a presiden­ tial possibility than Bland. Bland never accepted n railroad pass nor any other present for his political work, although he was recognized as rtie lender of the silver wing branch of the House. Early in 1865 while Bland, in the capacity of a schoolmaster on a vacation, was visiting the Young Ladies’ Seminary at Caledonia. Mo., ho met Miss Virginia Mitchel), daughter of Gcn^E. Y. Mitchell, whom he later married. \ By his simple directness and plain, kindly manners, Mr. Bland won a warm place in the hearts of his constituents and colleagues. KIDNAPERS ARE ARRAIGNED.

Testimony before the industrial commis­ sion at Washington alleges that at the time of its formation rhe glucose trust doubled the price of its product. The evi­ dence to this effect was given by Prof. Er­ nest Mas, an expert chemist, who says he was discharged by the trust because he would nut sign certificates saying the im- | hation food products of glucose were not injurious. Prof. Mas said the by-products of corn flour are used for cheapening wheat flour, the spin-h la of the kind ordi­ narily sold ou the market as corn starch, the corn oil is used for making cod liver oil, mixing it with olive oil, and as a sub­ stitute for cotton ws-d oil. In further examination the professor stated that the similarity of linseed oil and corn oil is so close that a chemist caunot distinguish between them. There is a dif­ ference of 40 eenta a gallon be­ tween the two in favor of linseed oil. The wholesale Reniers, to a large extent, mix the two'nils, selling the com­ bination as pure linseed oil.

On account of physical incapacity Vice-; President Hobart will not be a candidate for renomination next year. It is stated that he will soon retire from official life. The positive retirement of Hobart nat­ urally excites interest as to who will sue ceed him. Three names are talked of at present. Gov. Roosevelt, New York, la mentioned.

The supervisors will have charge of the enumerators in their various districts, and just now the bureau is at work gathering data and preparing statements and maps which will show how many enumerators will be needed in each district and how tha districts may best be paid out to be cov­ ered satisfactorily and within the thirty days allowed for taking the census next year.

An order «for 200 coffins receiv­ ed io St. Paul-tells the worst in a .breath. The dead, at the time this is written, are estimated at 100, while the injured are not less than 400. As many of these are fatally injured the death list will be con aiderably increased. Fire following im­ mediately in, the wake of the storm added new terrors to the situation. The total lack of medical assistance and the injury or death of one-half the total population of .the town, with fii;e sweeping the wreck left by the storm, constituted a situation seldom surpassed for horror. A battle with such a list of casualties would stir the nation from Florida to Puget Sound. These deadly storms ar? a yearly occurrence in the Mississippi val­ ley. and though they seldom find so many victims in a single village they are an un­ failing factor in the mortality records- of the country. The storms of the present season have been worse than usual. There is apparently nothing that can be done to prevent or materially lighten these peri­ odic disasters. No human ingenuity ran tell where they are going to strike. Even such salutary precautions as cyclone cvilars are not always effective, as was shown in the New Richmond disaster, where many victims imprisoned under the wreck were roasted to death by the fire that followed. The Wisconsin cyclone exhibited all the iscrpdible freaks that go with the worst of these tw’iating storms, such as carrying . ■way a 3,000-pouud safe, taking the bu*-k off trees, tearing loose Itoardz to splinters, decapitating a man. and carrying others to considerable distances almost uninjur­ ed. The largest brick block in the town, crowded with farmers just returning from the circus, was crushed like an eggshell, and the lighter frame dwellings were whisked away like straw, while the Cath­ olic and Baptist churches were both left standing. The property damage In the en­ tire track ot the storm cannot be less than fl ,000,000. Path of the Cyclone. The origin of the Minnesota tornado, so far as can be ascertained, was in the val­ ley of the Minnesota river in the vicinity of Mankato. It awept eastward to the St. Croix lake, on the border line of the two States, and culminated there about 6 o’clock in the evening in a cyclone, the main tongue of which, leaping and bound­ ing through the gaps in the St. Croix range, followed the line of the North Wis­ consin division of the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railroad to New Richmond. Then it disappeared in the lake region northeast of Clear Lake and Barron. The path of the cyclone was very close to that of the famous one of 1884, which, crossing the St. Croix near Marine Mills, just akirtod the suburbs of New Rich­ mond and then destroyed the town of Clear Lake, about twelve miles northeast. The region is peculiarly susceptible to electrical heat storms of -this character, owing to the existence of a great beat pocket or basin at St. Croix lake, bounded on the eastern and western sides by high bluffs and baring only few* and narrow outlets into the agricultural country aud pine land northeast of the lake. In Minnesota the cities of St. Paul, Min­ neapolis. Mankato, Winona, Faribault ■nd neighboring communities suffered much damage from the tornado and con­ siderable injury through the heavy rains which followed the blow. In Wisconsin, ■side from, the frightful destruction at New Richmond. Hudson. La Crosse, Cam­ eron, Barron. Burkhardt.

Troops from the National Guard of Wisconsin were ordered to New Richmond for the purpose of protecting property and policing the town. Gov.

If you pinch your finger the hurt and the pain arc not quite simultaneous, and if your arm were long enough to reach to the sun it would be 132 year* before you would feel the pain. The curious fact is. noted by M.

The lighting, of a room, says the Pharmaceutical Era, depend*, to a large ’extent upon the color and the material of the walls; in other words, upon the percentage of light reflected by them. Recent experiments have shown the proportion of light reflected to be in percentages as follows: Black velvet, 0.4; black cloth, 1.2; black paper, 4JJ; dark blue, 6.5; dark green. 10.1; light red. 16.2; dark yellow. 20; blue, 30; light yellow, 40; light green, 46.5; light orange. 54.8; white, 70; mirror, 92.3.

Las Pina*, Near Manila, the Fcene of Hard FirhtinK-Native* Offers Stub­ born Rcaiataace-Heavy Ix>a*e4 In­ flicted on Both Bide*. . A terrific battle with the Filipino* was fought at Las Pina* Tuesday morning. Lawton'* entire force of 3,000. men being »ngaged with a large number of strongly intrenched rebel*. The fight continued all day, and toward evening the rebel* had taken up a position but 500 ysrda to the rear of the point where the engage­ ment opened. Tbe insurgent* fought doggedly, and on several occasion* at­ tempted to assume the offensive At one time they tried to turn the American*’ left flank, but failed. The first real artillery engagement since tbe war in the Philippine* began occur­ red during the morning through the in­ surgents opening fire from a masked bat­ tery below Las Pinas. The Filipinos had a smooth ixjre and a number of onepounders. They were answered by six guns from the First artillery, and within a few minutes the gunboat Helena and the monitor Monadnock joined in with all their guns. Tbe second shell fired by tbe Filipino* dropped and burst in the camp of the Fourteenth Infantry. Only one man. n private, was struck by fragments of the shell. He was seriously wounded. General Lawton quickly led a reconnoisance with two companies of the Twen­ ty-first infantry. The Filipino artillery was some distance.back from the beach, and Lawton led his men between it and the water front, lieing hidden by the brush. When tbe detachment had pro­ ceeded about a mile and a half It encoun­ tered an .overwhelming force of Filipino regulars and a hot engagement at close range, directly between the masked bat­ tery and the bay, followed. Ho heavily were General Lawton's men-outnumbered that the/ were forced to retire. They rallied, however, and by a sharp dash succeeded In carrying the enemy’s first position. This left an open space to the left, and a heavy flank fire was poured in on the Americans, compelling them to re­ treat to cover again. The range was so close nnd the accu­ racy of the Filipinos so good that two officers and nineteen men of the detach­ ment were wounded. The American troops dropped back out of range of the Filipino fire and summoned a battalion #f the Ninth Infantry to re-enforce them. At (he same time battalions of the Twelfth and Fourteenth Infantry were rent forward along tbe road. GENERAL LUNA KILLED. Aa*aMi«>ated by Gaard at Avuiaal. do’s Headquarter*. Genera! Antonio Luna, one of tbe bit­ terest foe* of tbe American* in the Philip­ pine*. has tetsa assassinated by order* of General Aguinaldo, the Filipino leader. Luna ha* recently found himself in oppo­ sition to hi* chier* views, and ba* not only duoteyed his order*, but at one time ■topped Aguinaldo’* peace cotnmiwioner* while on their way to,treat with tbe American*. Aguinaldo ordered hi* death and hl* orders were carried out by some of hi* fanatical foHowera. The asoasaination of Gen. Luna occur­ red on June 8. at Kabanatuan, to which •place be had gone to confer withxAgui­ naldo. He had just previously be€n pro­ moted to the rank of major general by tbe Filiptao leader. By a preconcerted plan he was kept waiting at the door of Agui­ naldo’* headquarter* until his patience be­ came exhausted. After demanding .an ad­ mission several times he attempted to force bis way in. He, drew his revolver, but before be could use it he was seised by Aguinaldo’s guards and one of them nam­ ed Noy stabbed him several times, it i* said. Geu.w,una’* aid. who was near him, rushed to tbe general's rescue, but waa seized and disarmed. Luna died a few minutes after being stabbed. It is said that Luna had become so im­ portunate in his demands on Aguinaldo for power and increased authority that the Filipino leader decided that Luna's death was neceasary for hi* personal safety and the Filipino cause. The major general's commission was merely a bait to throw Lunn off his guard nnd render his assassination a comparatively easy matter.

It is claimed by some that potatoes are not wholesome food. Such does not seem to agree with experiments conducted with a special view of de­ termining the food value of the potato. The fact that the potato Is a diet In nearly every household would of Itself seem to be sufficient proof that It Is a nutritious food. The potato, on ac­ count of being composed principally of starchy matter, would. If eaten by It­ self, be a one-sided and badly balanced ration. The constituents necessary tor a balanced diet are protein, fat and carbohydrates. Potatoes uro composed of the latter, and meat, eggs and fish are composed of the former. Since po­ tatoes are usually served together with meat, eggs or fish. It forms a- diet which Is most conducive to health and vigor. ______ Profit iu Ooata.

My strength was giving way—he was aiming to grip my throat. I made a despairing effort and burled him from me; and he fell—fell backward, anti did not rise again." “You had killed him. father!” gasped Mabel. "Rather say that he had .killed himself, Mabel. His own fierce anger had made him refuse to listen to any explanation." "You are guiltless, then, father?" rfaid Mabel, softly, when she could speak. “Guiltless? Yes, my child. The diffi­ culty was to make men think so. I was arraigned.for the murder, as it. was ceiled, and I was weak enough to give a false name in order that the ancient nntae of Churlford should not be dragged into court." • "Oh, father!" murmured Mabel. "It was an error, not a crime,” said Mr. Charlford, with a sigh. "I have lived to understand since then that nil conceal­ ment is wrong. But to you. my child— 1 my noble child—I am confessing- all the truth—the truth I would have spared you. Under the name of Filton I stood my trial. There was a full inquiry, nnd the medi­ cal man called to give evidence expressed his opinion that the violent excitement of the struggle had caused Arthur’.Lane's death, .the man being in an advanced stage of heart disease. My story would hnve been believed, nnd I should have been released, but that a brother of the wretched man who hnd attacked me came forward with, false evidence. He swore that he had witnessed our quarrel, which, he said. I had provoked. This osservntion was fatal to my cause. I was conHemned.” "Poor, dear father!" whispered Mattel, clinging to him. "But yotf were saved!" “Uncle John contrived my escape. I fled, Mabel—fled from what was called justice. No one auspected that the socalled criminal Filton was in reality Rich­ ard Charlford, a wealthy English gentle­ man. for during my trial my poor cousin had died, and I had succeeded to half of hia enormous wealth. I escaped—gold will do much—and I was preparing to em­ bark for England, when Lane's brother traced me, stopped me, and declared he would again denounce me. And your mother meanwhile lay dying without see­ ing me by her side. For a few thousand pounds my false accuser consented to leave me unmolested nnd to settle in the far West. And I yielded." "Poor, poor father!" murmured Mabel, with tender compassion. "Mabel, that man has gone on increas­ ing his demands, till now he asks fifteen thousand pounds more, and ten thousand from your Uncle John, because he. knows that he is wealthy ami loves me ami that he is sensitive sImiuI the family name." Mabel gave a weary sigh. Alas for her hopes! With this accusation hanging over her father, baseless though it was. she could not wed Neville Wynmore. "Neville—oh. my love!” she cried to her­ self. "It is good-by forever in this world!" Her father watched her narrowly. "Mabel," he said, presently, "look up. my dear girl! You. said yourself that I was unfortunate, but not disgraced.” "Yes—yes, father, because you are inno­ cent,” she answered, softly, but in a pa­ thetic tone. "Still do you not see that I cannot consent to. marry Neville? I will be forever silent—silent as the grave—but he and I must not meet again." She rose tremblingly to her feet as she concluded, and her father kissed and blessed her. then led her from the room, watching till her graceful form and woe­ begone face disappeared in the gloom over­ head. "So that danger—ns great a one as I hnve ever encountered—is over!" he mut­ tered. emptying a glass of brandy, and passing his hand over his knitted brow. “I have converted her from a horrorstricken child, silent only from duty, into a warm ally full of compassion and trust. Well done! And now for the future. It will Im* too annoying if yhe sticks to her re­ solve, nnd I lose the position it would give me in the county to have a daughter mar­ ried to a man like Lord Wynmore." CHAPTER XVI. A few days after Mabel's’ agitating in­ terview with her father the county was electrified by the tidings that the marriage between young Lord Wynmore and Mabel Charlford was definitely broken off. The poor bride-elect lay ill ’ and silent through the long days. First the family medical attendant and then & great Lon­ don physician came to prescribe for her; but all in vain. The doctor* ordered im­ mediate change of nlr. At this news Lord Wynmore fled to Charlford House again, but he found thgt his lost love had already been moved from home. "Where hnve you sent her?" he asked, almost fiercely, in his despair. It was her abter Caroli»e who saw him, for Mr. Charlford bad accompanied his suffering child. "My father has taken my sister to a lovely country cottage surrounded by woods and fields, where she can have the complete solitude recommended, together with fresh air. I begged leave to keep her company, Lord Wynmore, but was told not to ask it for'the present. It is very hard to see her as she is—perfectly listless, caring for nothing." "I must see her, Caroline,” was all he said. z Miss Charlford gave him the address, and the next day Neville presented him­ self at Mabel’s new abode. With profound emotion he gazed at the house which in­ closed all that he held most dear; but there were no signs of cheerfulness about the place—no flowers, no open windows; all appeared dull and cold. Another glance showed him that there were iron bars to all the windows. He rang hastily at the door; a neat maid servant quickly answered the sum­ mons. “Take my card to Miss Charlford,” he said, in a voice choked by emotion. “Is Mr. Charlford here?” "Yes, sir—yes, my lord; but Miss Charl­ ford, poor young lady, doesn't see any vis­ itors—she isn't fit for that But I’ll take up your card, my lord." "Bring me an answer from her, and here is n sovereign for you," said Neville, low­ ering his voice. "I'll be sure that Miss Charlford has your card, my lord;’’ and with that the maid ushered him inti i a neatly furnished room looking op to s long garden at the back, when* an old man was mowing the grass. At the end nf five’mlnutes the maid re­ turned with a note in Mabel's handwrit­ ing. Neville tore It open and read: “1 will not reprove you for coming here for tidings of me, for I know well that I should follow you to the ends of the earth if we could change places. But I dare not see you. Wo parted forever when we last said farewell. My heart follows you, but M. C.” do ‘not try to see me again. “Where is she?” said Neville, in a husky voice/ to the waiting servant. "In her own'room, my lord, where she sits night and day. 'Tie a bad case, the doctor* say.” „ “Good heavens, they told me there was no danger! What is the matter?’' exclaim­ ed Lord Wynmore, heart stricken. "Don’t you know, my lord? Then it’ll esme with a shock on you. Miss Cbarlford has lost her reason." He staggered back.' His own bright, lovely Mabel insane! Was thb the mean­ ing of bringing her to the cottage? . He sank down upon a choir, overwhelm­ ed with misery, but was roused by hearing Mr. Charlford’s voice and step, and start­ ed up to meet him. "Why was I not told?" he cried, wring­ ing the elder man’s band. "Why was I not told? But it cannot be true! What did the doctors say? Has she bad every possible advice?" "The very best. You can talk to Dr. Crane yourself,” answered the other. In a low, agitated voice. “I could not bear the idea of sending my darling child to a pri­ vate asylum, so I have taken this place for her, and she has a trained nurse to attend on her. It la not thought desirable to tot her staters come here yet." "-Why was I not told?" repeated Neville, frantically. . "We hoped against hope," said Mr. Charlford, "and even here we meant to have tried every means of recovery before you were tortured with the knowledge of the truth." (To be continued.) It Makes a Difference. tion’s general hard. When the animals reacted under the delicate tuberculin teat they were not slaughtered, but were segregated and studied. They find that the milk from the* row has beeh tested and 'analysed again and again, but thus far no germs have been found In It So that, from a scien­ tific point of view, these cows have produced clean and healthful milk. One criticism of this achievement points out that, although no germs have been found In the milk. It Is notaaafe to say that the milk had uever contained any. The germs may be found In unsuspectcd corners, and In one milking and not In another. 'The testing apparatus, too, is not yet perfected. The general effect of these Investigations, however. Is to make the public much more comfort­ able as to Us dairy milk supply. A correspondent sends spi?clmens of worms that Infest his strawberry, rasp­ berry, and dewberry fields.

"Of course It Is; but after he had sailed we got word that the actual value of his nuggets probably wouldn't exceed three hundred and eighty thou­ sand dollars.” “Still, he could do the handsome thing by you if he wanted to." "No doubt alx>ut that at all; but when he landed' at Seattle the news­ paper reports from there gave his-for­ tune as only one hundred and ten thousand dollars." "Even that Is a good deal of money." "Very true; but the next time we heard from him he was In San Fran­ cisco, and the best they could make of it there was a little* less than fifty thousand dollars." "Pretty good pay for a year’s work, any way." “Unquestionably^ but he reached Chicago this morning with a letter of credit of thirty-five hundred nnd six­ teen dollars, which represented the total value of the gold that be and his partner had brought down and deliv­ ered at the San Francisco mint, and they want me to board them for noth­ ing all winter, so that they can hava that for their expenses when they go ! back.” Magnetic Disturbances In Russia. The Russian produce of Kursk proves to be one of the most remark­ able areas of magnetic disturbances yet know tv Mr. Moureaux reports that the differences between theory and observation are so great that it is not possible to draw Isomagnetlc lines, nnd the qiagnetic force is as great as it would be In the Immediate vicinity of the magnetic poles. The dip of the needle ranges from 4b to .79 degrees. At two points, about 450 yards apart, the declinations are minus eleven degrees and plus forty-five degrees, and the variation at two places about a mile nnd a quarter apart Is from minus thirty-four degrees to plus nluety-alx degrees. Nothing near the surface to cause these anomalies is known to exist. ' 1 1 Latest Form of Dementia. Golflcltls is a permanent addition to English manias nnd is attracting the attention of thinking alienists. It Is designated the fourth dementia by an English physician.

Its symptoms are a loathing for legitimate business, an abnormal disposition to nervous Irritation, a passion for giddy and eccentric garments, a profound contempt for truth, a hatred for domes­ tic restraint, accompanied by flushed j face and a depraved love of out-of­ doors.

In a recent farmers’ institute one farmer said: “Much of your success' depends upon the good health and cheerfulness of your wife, doesn’t It?, Then why don't you take stejis to light­ en her labor nnd preserve her health? Most of you have good wells with windmills, and you have* taken the pains to run pipe* to your barns be­ cause the expense was not great, and it saved you the trouble of either carry­ ing water to the barn or leading your stock to water. But I wonder how many ot you have run water pipes to the house, thus giving your hard­ working wife the convenience of step­ ping to a sink and drawing the fresh water whenever It is needed, without the lal>or of carrying it "I .will tell you, fellow-farmers, we should take better care of our wives.

The bodies of two sol­ diers of the Fourth infantry, who fell in the running tight back of Imus, were left behind by their comrades. The bodies were afterward found with the right ears cut off, throats cut and slashes across the face. An all-day battle between Gen. Whea­ ton’s force and the insurgent army, was fought unit the city of Imus Monday. One battalion of the Fourth infantry, while reconnoitering, was attacked in the rear by a band of supimsed friendly na­ tives. The Americans stood their ground pluckily and were out of ammunition when Wheaton led a strong force to their The insurgents fought well, taking ad­ vantage of the woods, and were driven back with difficulty.

Betts, a Chi­ cago man. The device has been offered to thi United States Government by the in­ ventor. The annihilator is a small can­ non with a weather vane and an air trig­ ger. The weather vane is for the pur­ pose of aiming the cannon, which rests upon a vertical pivot. When a cyclone approaches, the vane turns the cannon so it points directly at the funoel shaped dead. When the wind reaches a velocity ot sixty-five miles an hour it will spring the trigger and fire the cannon. The pro­ jectile fired into the revolving cloud will throw it off its balance*nd it will scatter into a harmless zephyr. Thons-ndx Going to Europe.

Having made a thor­ BEN HARBISON. ough investigation _ of all the claims involved, he has come to tfie conclusion that England has rights only in a narrow strip of land in the eastern ■part of the disputed territory. He will contend for the Venexuelan Government that the proper boundary line should be near the 59th parallel of latitude. Great Britain has claimed It to be westward of the (J8d parallel. Including several exceed­ ingly rich gold mines. s It will be recalled that the United States took no stand os to what wax the true boundary between the two states mention­ ed, but insisted simply that Great Britain submit to Venezuela** demand for arbi­ tration on the subject. Great Britain re­ fused and President Cleveland issued the memorable message which resulted in an American commission of investigation to detepuine the true boundary. The com-­ mission did not- have to finish its work tiecause, after a long correspondence be­ tween Lord Salisbury and Secretary of State Richard Olney, Greet Britain final­ ly consented to arbitration, and by a sjiecial treaty agreed with Venezuela to ac­ cept the decision of a given tribune! on the disputed territory. The land in dispute is over 66,000 square miles in extent, greater than the ureas of New York, Connecticut and Massachu­ setts combined. Venezuela lays claim to all the territory west of the Eskequibo river.

My troubles were indigestion, sour stomach, acid fermentation, pal­ pitation of the heart, sleeplessness and terrible sick-headache, which at times would entirely unfit me for busi­ ness. I have had special tresuneut by seven physicians, and it seems as though I havetried nearlyevery known or supposed remedy, with some little relief, but would soon relapse to the old condition. I commence! using Drake’s Dyspepsia Cure and Nerve Restorer a few weeks ago, have used about two and one-half boxes which have done mu more real good than all the treatment and so-called remedies 1 have ever taken.

WAR DEPARTMENT PLANS TO BEND ^E-ENFOROEMENTS. C**>Minder T*l*«tr*»k* He N«M* BQ»- OQO M«m “in th* Fl*ld” at O«o«Burgeoa McQawtitt TblsUw Rcquira Over IQO.obo Troop*. President McKinley is reported by a Washington correspondent to have com* to a re*11 xadon of the serious situation of the American troops in the Philippines, and, as the result of a telegrsns which is ■aid to have been received at the War Department from Gen. Otis, be is cootemplsting sending ten regiments instead of three, a* was formerly intended. The strongest argument, and the one ti»at Is believed to have turned the balance, is said to have been a dispatch recently re­ ceived from-Gen. Otis, in which the lat­ ter explained that his dispatches had been misunderstood. He does not think that 30,000 men. including sick, wounded, non­ combatants and garrison troops, would be sufficient, but that 30,000 "in the field” over aud above all drains for other ser­ vice would be. When he captures a town he wants men' to gsrrison it without weakening his fighting force. That is to say, ha really wants 50,000 or 60,000 men In all. Preparations are being made for re­ cruiting many more for service at the Philippines. Some have expressed a dread fear that the Americans are being forced back to Manila by the climate, and army officers are said to be In dread of receiving news of some disaster. Anoth­ er cause given for the President’s alleged change of front is the testimony ot Sur­ geon McQuestin, which caused so much excitement at the War Department. Sur­ geon McQuestin declares, like all other returned officers, that- the force of soldiers necessary to subdue and hold tbb islands has been greatly underestimated; that it will require from 100,000 to 150,000 men to accomplish the task. Lsst accounts a few weeks ago tell of the Insurgents forc­ ing their way between McArthur's and Otis’ forces. The enemy was at that time reported to have been repulsed with loss. Since that time no news has been made public of what has happened to McAr­ thur's forces. It is evident that the in­ surgents are not so thoroughly disorgan­ ised as the first dispatches would indi­ cate. • Should the regiments spoken of be re­ cruited, all the regular troops now in the United States might be sent at once to. Manila. This would give Otis about 50,­ 000 men, instead of the 35,000 which will be at his disposal when the volunteers shall have returned. It is suggested that to send all the regulars to tbb Philippines would deplete the forces in the United States dangerously; but the plan proposed at the War Department is to use the 10,­ 1)00 troops of the provisional army for garrison purposes here, nnd to call on the Governors of States for regiments of mF litia for temporary service in case of emergency. This would be strictly in ac­ cordance with the law. nnd at the same time it would give Otis the very best kind of men for his purposes. There an? 9,000 troops now at San Francisco awaiting tnre sporta Lion to,, the Philippines. Of these 9,000 regulars, 8,500 are raw recruits. The troops will not be scot by organizations. A' battalion of seasoned regulars, for instance, will go un the same transport with a lot of un­ trained recruits, so that the time preced­ ing the arrival at Manila may be devoted profitably to putting the new men into shape.

A mob of 5,000 per­ sons attacked the Holmdcn arcane ear barn* of the Cleveland Electric Railway Company aud ni»h?d through the yard, which x-oatained rixty cars, destroying ev­ erything in sight until driven out by the police.. The mob succeeded io wrecking ten care before being compelled to retire. ■ Heavy timbers were driven through wiadows and woodwork, stones and clubs were used until the car* were completely demolished. . ) The mob had a double purpose in vfcw; its intention wa* to injure *»' much as possible property belonging to the Big Consolidated Company, and to do bodily harm to the twenty-five non-union men living at the barns. In the first it was successful, bpt in the second it was not, owing to the arrival of the police. • The first outbreak took place at W’il*on avenue and Quincy street. Obstruc­ tions hod been placed on the trad: and Motorman Webster left his car to remove them. One hundred men then began to stone him and the conductor of the ear, while the passengers rushed out pell-mell. The motorman stood his ground. A riot­ er ran in front of him and threw a. brick, whereupon Webster drew his revolver and fired, but missed his assailant. Other attacks were made on him, but after he had fired several sjiots the crowd retreat­ ed. One man received a bullet in his foot. The police then arrived. Mayor Farley issued a proclamation at noon calling for peace and order, and de­ claring that order would be restored even If he had to resort to desperate methods. The special committee of the City Coun­ cil appointed to bring about a settlement. If possible, convened in the forenooa.

They are greatly'modified .as com­ pared with the original ones, several con­ cessions being made. Four honied employes cf the Cleve­ land Foundry Company struck in the af­ ternoon because the company refused to discharge a man who bad ridden on a Big Consolidated car. The man was a foreman. When it became known that he had ridden on a car the molders went to the officers of the company and demanded his discharge.- The officers refused to comply with rhe demand and all the men walked out of the works. This is the first strike In the nature of a sympathy demonstration that has taken place. DETECT BOLD MAIL THEFT. Wholesale Robbery of Rack* DHcovered by Chicago Authorities. What is regarded by Postoffice Inspec­ tor James Stuart as one of the largest and boldest mail robberies in the history of the Chicago poetoffice was detected Tuesday, and the arrests of Walter Por­ ter and John Newman, drivers of mail wagons at the postoffice, followed. Por­ ter made a full confession of the crime and implicated Newman. After a brief hearing before United States Commis­ sioner Humphrey the men were bound over to the Federal grand jury. Porter's bonds were fixed at $10,090 and New­ man’s at $5,000, and In lieu of bail both men were taken to joil. A large amount of the letters, money orders and packages takbn by the men was found in their lodging house. In the collection were letters, money orders and checks directed to all parts of the coun­ try and Europe. One check found in the pile was for $20,000.

What Happened HIS is what happened to a boy one Fourth of July. 1 was not the boy, because I chanced to be n girl; but I know him very well, and be told me abont It yesterday. He was called Dick, though it was not his real name. Ho and his friend. Bob Shannon, had been having a glorious time all day, on this particular Fourth. They began at 5 o’clock in the morning, with fish horns and torpedoes, then at (1 o'clock came the “Antiques and Horri-1 bles," and the two boys followed them all over town, miles and miles, till their feet were sore, and their voices hoarse with shouting. Such a sight as the “Antiques and Horribles" used to be! I remember that myself. If I was "only a girl." They were dressed in rags and tatters, with their masked fact's grinning horribly under ridiculous old bats. They blew huge tin horns, hooted and yelled, and were surrounded by a crowd of shrieking boys, who tried to out-hoot and out-yell them. What a delightful moment was that, when, after my little heart had stood still with fright at the near approach of an awful monster, with a negro's face nnd billy goat’s horns, the face was suddenly removed, and I saw the smiling, ruddy face of Sam Judkins, the grocer’s boy, erecting me with the customary "Hello, As a Hile, it was an insult to be called Sissy, and I could not abide it; but at that moment it was music in my ears. Well. Bob Shannon and Dick followed the “Horribles’* to the end. and then they went home and bad breakfast. After that they fired off crackers in the back yard, with occasional converts on the fish horn till noon; and then they went and took a swim. Refreshed by the cool water, they felt equal to anything, and gladly joined the party that was going to fire off the old brass cannon in the vacant lot behind the school house. This was a truly martial joy! Dick, who was a boy of lively imagina­ tion. felt like Napoleon (before Waterloo), and Wellington and Grant before Rich­ mond. all rolled into one, and forgot that Alexander and Leonidas, his favorite he­ roes of antiquity, knew nothing about the joys of gunpowder, and had never heard the "crack!" “bang!" the sharp spurt of the match and the soft ’T-a-x-x!" of the powder which make boya’ hearts leap to­ day. By-and-by the old cannon broke, as ev­ eryone supposed it would, and strange to say, no one was hurt. “it’s all nonsense,” said Dick, "about boys getting hurt so much on the Fourth of July. That is, of course boya do get hurt, but it’s only the stupid fellows who don’t know beans. A fellow who knowr what he's about has no need to get hurt. •‘Come along, Bob. and let’s fire off this powder that’s left.” Of course, that would be great fun, and make a fitting link of delight between the day and the crowning joy of the evening fireworks. Where should they go to fire the powder? Why. lhe fiat gravel roof on the eli of Dick’s house would be the very place—of course It would! "Come along 1" It was nice and hot on the roof in the afternoon sun; the boys liked it hot. Care­ fully they poured the remaining powder out of the horn, making a pleasant little heap beside the stout chimney, which was io be their bulwark and place of defense. Then they laid the trail, very scientific­ ally, round the chimney, and then they stood and looked at it a little while, tasting the pure joy of anticipation, and quite sure that there were no boys so happy or so fortunate as they were in the world of Boston. "Shall we touch it off now? Oh, waR just a minute! think what fun it will be, wasn’t it lucky we got this old horn? It holds such a joUy lot. Hi! won’t the folks In the street jump? Come on, Dick, let’s ULY 4th'ta our nation’s birthday 5 anniversary of tbe of the existence of the States as an Independent government. It brings to us all tbc delight which springs from a glad remembrance of past tines when the foundation s of the happy present were laid. It L commemorative and therefore festive. Everybody ia familiar with tbe anniversary idea. No other country makes so much as we do of anni­ versaries. We love to celebrate the birth of things, ot events, of institutions, of dhooveriwt, of aohievemanta and of individuals. So tbe anniversary of our country's birth appeals to every noblest and most natural Instinct jn our Amcrio n human nature. We feel the Fourth of July morn to be auspicious. We would fain congratu­ late our friendsand neighbors on Its nnewed da a fl­ ing. It is for ua “a high day." It Is the greatest birthday we know. It oommemo a ter the nativity of a child that was destined to be ome a giant, and Is one al read'. In whose strength we all are -trong. Tbe Fourth of July Is Indorend- nee day. We cele­ brate not only the ind pendenoe which our forefathers - won from a foreign tyrant, but tbe civil Mbcr.j tint made so precious and essential a p r< of the signal deih trance. Independence <iay stands for internal as well as external freedom, for liberty ot sp ech, liberty of press, liberty of teliglon. As the oak is contained in the acorn, so every equal right which tbe citizens of this happy land enjoy was wrapped up. as to I s get m, Its promise and potency, wipiin the folds of'that now faded and time-worn paper' on which the Declaration of In depen dene • was written. Therefore the* more enthusiagm on the Fou'th of July tbe better. The more we can nave"bf wholesale, hearty, unstinted celebration u>e better. The senti­ ment of loyalty and love for the flag needs constant deepening. The spirit of independence, of robust Americahism. can be strengthened io advantage. Love of one’s country is the very essence of good citizenship —nay, of man y.manhood. ■ J. linn Dick, slow match in hand, got well out of the way, as he thought, and with a sbopt of triumph touched off the fuse. A blinding flash, a hiss, as of fifty wild­ cats tieaby their tails nnd turned into the standing corn of the Philistines, and then a loud cry, as it the Philistines, or some­ body, were having an exceedingly bard time of it. Dick crouched down, with his hands pressed to bia blackened face, and Bob bent over him in genuine concern. "l«»ay, Dick, old man, are you much hurt?" “Dh, I don’t know! It's my eyes I care about, that’s all. I can’t see anytling." “Come along down to the doctor, old man. Shall I take your hand?" "Take your grandmother! Don't I know the'way in the dark? I say, Bob.” ' . "Yes, Dick." "We know what a Fourth of July fool "I reckon we do, nnd It’s worse than an April fool a good deal. Come along!" Fortunately the Injury to Dick’s eyes was slight, and he escaped with a week in a dark room, and a fine array of blistets, the traces of which adorned his face for many a day; but he has learned how not to burn powder on the Fourth of July.- • The Household.

This caused more indignation and one day the matter was brought to a focus when a lot of our Iwys got together and held a square men’s meeting. Among those present were Patrick Henry and George Washington. Pat made a ringing speech and told them that the people ought to rise up out of their lethargy and make this a free country. A declaration of in­ dependence was written out and signed nnd the bell was rung, as we have said. When old George Threetimes heard of this he sent over more soldiers and tried to wipe out the little band pariding under George Washington. But Mr. Threetimes’ gingerbread sol­ diers couldn’t fool our George—nit! Our George let them chase him around New Jersey and Pennsylvania and when they finally did catch him they at once tried to let him go. But George didn’t go—not much! That night our George crossed the Delaware river and made old George Threetimes’ army look like boiled lobsters.

Georae Fhea Corrie* Hi# $10,000 of Plunder Only Fix Hour# George Shea, alias Philip Lambele, a resident of Chicago, is likely to serve many years’ imprisonment’in payment for one half daj's use of $10,000. Shea went into the Metropolitan Na­ tional Bank, Boston, at noon and got away undetected with $10,000. He made for New York, where he was promptly arrested, a good description of the thief having been sent all over the Eastern States within an hour after the robbery. He offered the officer making the arrest the whole $10,000 to set him free. AH of the money was recovered. The story of the robbery, as told by .the bank officials, is that a man came into the bank and made some inquiries as to where he could obtain a money order. He car­ ried on his conversation with Clarence 8. Delfendahl, the receiving teller, who was acting as paying teHor. The teller, after answering the nmn's questions, went on with his work dnd paid no fur­ ther attention to the stranger, meantime going to a telephone. While the official's back was turned toward him, Shea seis­ ed a roll of bills and escaped. A stenog­ rapher saw him take the money and gave the alarm as he was going out, but It was too late to stop the thief. BIG STORM IN NEW ENGLAND. Bain.

There are In most varie­ ties several buds on each lateral branch nearest the main stem that very seldom produce any fruit, often those nearest the main stem remainlug dormant when properly, not severely, pruned. There are also In many'cases several buds on the main stem, just above the highest lateral branch, which have slightly started to grow In the fall, yet did not make lateral branches. These will not produce any fruit. The main stem above the lateral branches should therefore be left long enough to secure some good buds above the worthless ones above mentioned;-if not It may as well be cut back to the upper lateral branch. If the lateral branches are short and stout, with large plump buds clear to the tips, they need very little pruning, except when It is de- the way. Almost every large seedsman propagates sweet potato sets, and for a very small sum of money he will fur­ nish enough sets so that a fanner can grow-several bushels of sweet potatoes In the fall. It Is worth trying. The farmer's table does not have as great a variety of vegetables as It should, and the sweet potato Is so universally liked that It makes an extremely desir­ able addition during the season It can be easily kept.—American Cultivator.

Geeae Are Prepared for Lon« Marche* According to a consular report a reg ular "goose market” takes place at Warsaw during the month of October, through which some 3.000,000 geese pass, some for consumption at War­ saw, but most for export to Germany. One-third of the geese come from the government of Vilna, and many .more have come long distances, which would ruin their feet, to prevent which they are "shod,” as It is called, before set­ ting out on their Journey to Warsaw. That Is, they are driven first through tar poured on the ground, and then through sand. After this operation has been*repeated several times their feet become covered with a hard crust which protects them during their h'ttg march on bard ground. Perpetu it Blackberry Patches. When'a man plants blackberries be has a plantation that with care and spraying with fungicides to prevent blight can be kept for all time. It It very hard to root out a blackberry patch, as any who have planted the wild sorts and who wish to change fot better can testify. But If the best varle ties are secured, this tendency of the blackberry to sprout makes it more valuable. At even a very low price the plants can be sold to neighbors so as to bring in nearly as much as a crop of fruit. ’ * biniuK to Drive Out Insurgent*. Geo.

It is estimated that between $150,000,­ 000 MDd $200,000,000 will be ueed*-d to carry out the project, the greater part of which will be expended in buying off the holders of conccMions.

JiHM Balblrale pointed Slain by ■ DUap* OficwMkar, Who Immed­ iately Afterward Take* Hi*Own Life —Deadly Work of Bnltet and Polson. John W.-Tayer, former director of the city poor, assassinated Mayor James Balbirnle of .Muskegon. Mich., at noon Thursday and then killed himself. In order to make sure of death he swallowed a quantity ot carbolic acid and then shot himself. The shooting took place on the main business street of the city, directly in front of Mayor Balbirnie’s furniture store and undertaking establishment. The Mayor had just descended from, his living room over the store and was about to untie his horse, standing near the walk, when he was accosted by Tayer, who said he wished to speak with him. Tbe Mayor thereupon turned and-seated himself in a chair In front of the store. A mail carrier approached and handed the Mayor a .letter, and while the carrierwas still present- Tayer shot Mr. Balbirnie, the ball entering bis left breast. Tbe murderer then stepped into the doorway of the store, swallowed a quan­ tity of carbolic acid, which he took from a vial in his pocket, and then shot him­ self in almost Identically the same place that the Mayor had been shot. The Slay­ er staggered to his feet and ran upstairs to his residence above the store. William Burnett, a blacksmith, who has his shop across the street, was a witness to the shooting. He ran after the Mayor and reached the top of the stairs just as Mr. Balblrnie fell. In fifteen minutes, almost before aid coiild be summoned, tbe Mayor was dead. After Tayer shot himself he sank to the walk, nnd later was removed to tbe city hall, where he died shortly be­ fore 1 o’clock. The motive for the crime is supposed to have been morbid despondency. Tayer bad been city poormaster. He was re­ moved last spring by Mayor Balbirnie. Tayer asked the Mayor for the position of city sexton, and this was refused him. T^je Mayor's action embittered Tayer, but there was no suspicion that be had been aroused to a murderous state of mind. Martha M.

He robbed Gates and then attempted to conceal the crime by burning his victim’s body. Failing, in this, the murderer threw the corpse into the river, whence it drifted down stream, where it was finally discovered in Salt river. A successful chase for Jester follow­ ed, and he was captured. A. A. Gates, father of the murdered man, hastened from Chicago to the West at that time and was one of a party which searched the house of a sister who was then living eighteen miles north of Wichita.

Caaleada that Wc Must Give Up Home of Alaska—Americans Coaatrue the Meaaia* of the Treaty One Way, and the British Baa Another Way. . Aaide* from tbe Philippine war, the •object engrossing moat public atten­ tion is the dispute between the United States and England over the line which cuts Alaska off Canada. Tbe question, officially. Is in the bands of an AngloAmerican .commIsaioxi, whose report is being withheld by the two govern­ ments because, ns It Is reported, the ■commission could not agree upon terms. Where the matter will end no­ body knows now., for both Uncle Sam and John Bull are anxious to get for their subjects as jnucb of the gold land ■of Alaska and British Columbia as they can. This commission was as­ signed several other matters of arbitra­ tion -or adjustment, but the' boundary ■question la the one which demands tbe quickest settlement, for It Is liable any ■day to create trouble between the two governments. As to tbe Alaska boundary question. It Is unfortunate that the cxpnmlsidon gave the United State* a compact ter­ ritory, and, admitting that Canada and the United States are always to remain separate countries, it Is hut reasonable the former should have its outlet on the Pacific In Brftlsb Columbia. By acquiring Alaska, however, in 1867, tbe British outlet In tbe Pacific now inter­ venes between parts of tbe United States. Curiously but naturally enough. Great Britain, or rather Canada, is now seeking another outlet to the coast, and tbis time through what, since tbe ces­ sion of 'Alaska to the United States thirty-two years ago. has always been considered American territory; What historical or treaty right * has Great Britain or Canada to such an outlet? 'm-question is not an easy one to an­ swer. Great Britain's title to British North- America from the 141st degree of west longitude (meridian of Green­ wich) rests, like that of the United States to Alaska, upon ber treaty with Russia. Russia's right certainly was a vague one, ami amounted e.t best only to a claim in regard to the vast Interior of wLoee extent at the time she bad no conception. Great Britain's title to the Northwest east of 141st de­ gree of longitude has never been seri­ ously questioned. It Is only In regard to the southeastern part of tbe boun­ dary line, which Is formed Irregularly by mountains and a line extending thirty miles from the coast, that, There ten marine leagues, or thirty miles, from the coast. Tbe Canadian and British contention. as now made, turns upon the Portland canal. The British, at least until recently, have claimed FAITHFUL RECOUNTING OF HER LATEST NEWS. .that the words Portland canal or chan­ nel In the convention were a mistake for Behm canal, or Clarence inlet, or else that what Is now called Portland Legislature Finally Adjourns — De­ cision Adverse to Innocent Purchas­ canal was not then so called. MIRROR OF MICHIGAN Construe Treaty Differently. This difference in the respective American nnd Canadian boundary links of the Alaska pan-handle strip arises from wholly different methods of construing the treaty. There are many intricate questions Involved tn tbe methods of construction. For In­ stance, in determining the ten marine leagues from the coast to which. In the absence of a mountain chain, tbe American territory extends, shall sin­ uosities of the shore of the mainland be followed or should the line be run from beadland to headland? Again, shall the line be considered to run ten marine leagues east of the out^r shore of the islands? In that case in many instances.the line Would not reach the mainland, as some of the islands are more than thirty miles across. On the othe'r hand, the Hon. David Mills says that in pursuance-of its method of de­ termining the boundary the United States in many places has drawn its boundary Hue "more than 100 miles ers—Flos ting Island for Life Baring —Suicide ofan Allegan Woman. The legislative session was not formally closed until eight days after bosiness was suspended. The closing was devoid of ceremony; there being less than a dozen legislators present when the gavels fell for the last time. Tbe last business transacted was the entering on the legis­ lative journal of vetoes of bills creating a temporary tax commission, reorganiz­ ing the military forces of the State, mak­ ing an appropriation for the State Horti­ cultural* Society, permitting tbe sale ot all fish caught in iegal-sised nets and making private fishing .grounds of Long lake. The tax commission bill was ve­ toed, because it named ' the commission­ ers. this being considered an invasion of the rights of the executive. The mili­ tary bill was said to entail useless ex­ pense aud the fish bill was objected to on the ground that it nullified all laws fixing the size of fish that may be legally sold. The principle in tbe Long lake bill would permit all lakes in the State to be­ come private property. Tax Title Decision. The innocent purchaser of the title held under a tax deed which subsequently proves to be worthless has no remedy, un­ der a decision by the Supreme Court in the cine of Thomas Thorkildsen vs. George W. Carpenter et al. Carpenter was the owner of a tax title upon certain lands, the original title was the Lake Harbor Co. of Muskegon. In 1897 Car­ penter sold the property to Thorkildsen. giving him a quit claim deed of it. The following January the Auditor General canceled- the sale nnd deed to Carpenter and issued a certificate of error which was duly recorded In the office of the reg­ ister of deeds. Thorkildsen tendered Car­ penter a deed of the land and demanded the return of his money. This was re­ fused and thereupon suit was commenc­ ed to recover, and tbe. Supreme-Court has affirmed this decree. Invents u Floating Island. F. W. Flaudera, inventor of the floating island, has launched on Klinger's lake bis first island. The island is about twenty feet square und can support twenty per­ sons without reaching its capacity. Tests that have been made show when the waves were rolling high the .island re­ mains perfectly stable without any rock­ ing motion. It can be easily moved about with a rowboat and anchored. Experi­ ments show that it is a fine life raft for use on lake or ocean steamers. Wife Grows Tired of Poverty.

Oansrsls Wheeler, Alger and Duf­ field are Quanta of th* Bays is Bias -No Naw Paata Balag Formad-OfiBcars Are Elected. The twenty-first annua! encampment, department of Michigan, G. A. R., began Its session in Petoskey on Tuesday with headquarters at the New Arlington HBtel. Great preparations had been made for the proper reception and Outertainmant of the -visiting veterans.. Every train and boat brought crowds of old sol­ diers with their families and friend*. The meeting of the executive commit­ tee at department headquarters was call­ ed to order at 2 o'clock, and was followed > at 8 o'clock by a secret meeting of ths council of administration.* At 8 o’clock the public reception to the department • commander nnd president and diftinguiahed guests was held at the New Arlington. The proceedings of the encampment were kept strictly secret, a sentry * bayonet guarding the door and only the report of Commander Patrick read Wed­ nesday morning showed that what little money there was left'in the treasury would be taken up In meeting the ex­ pends of the present encampment. Th? report also said that the commander had refused to authorize the formation of any new posts tfnd recommended that the same course be followed by his successor, The reason for this is that the existing posts can hardly hold their own, as their numbers are constantly passing away, with few old soldiers remaining as mem­ bers, and the formation of new posts weakens the old ones. The annual parade was given on Wednesday. Company 0, Thirty-fifth Michigan volunteers, march­ ed with the civil war veterans. Maj. Gen. Joseph Wheeler arrived early in the day from the South and Secretary Alger and his parjy came Ln later from the North. The presence of'Gens. Alger, Wheeler and Duffield was the feature of the en^mpment. The generals were the speakera of the evening nt the campfirs at Bay View. A b’g crowd was in at­ tendance. There was not even standing room in the Bay View auditorium. Jhere was a great deal of interest in Gen, Wheeler's visit because thia was the first time any soldier of the Confederacy had been a guest of the Michigan boys in blue. The next encampment will be held at Grand Rapids. When the matter came up a Flint man wanted the question de­ ferred a day, saying that many Flint men were absent. When this motion was adopted tbe Flint delegate said he would be willing that Grand Rapids should have the honor if Flint could have it in 190L It was then voted that the 1900 encamp­ ment should go to Grand Rapids. Th*' attendance tbis year was not heavy, sup­ posedly because of the long distance of Petoskey from other parts of the State, where most of the veterans live.

Control the Bulk of the Coffee Trade. It is estimated that there are fifty mil­ lion coffee drinkers in America. We have long since passed the umi*k of being the largest coffee consumers in the world, onethird of the entire coffee grown being used In America. This corporation has-been steadily growing since l«*rtl v. lien the total "amount otcoffee imported was yuly 79.000 tons. From Brazil. Peru. Java, and Sumatra. Ceylon. India. Africa, the PhiUiblDes. and the Islands of the tropical was. bats, bales and barrels p*air into New York city every rear r>y the hundreds of thousands. From New York they are distributed to all parts of tbe country". But the greater portlbn of the coffee im­ ported is retained in New.Yortt by the ’unions firm of Arbuckle Bros.—the largest coffee. dealers in the world. They buy more than all o.her dealers combined, aud the name Arbuckle has become,'synony­ mous for immense dealings in the favorite breakfast beverage. This has given them nreat prestige among coffee growers iu every part of the word: and as large buy­ ing always make* for good buying, it Is not surprising that Arbuckle’s has Ireome famous as the standard of coffee values, a .standard no other house has been able tn reach. Millions of homes in every section of the Conutry today use nothing but Arbuckles' coffee. The test of experience has taught tlie careful housewife that her faith not only means money saved, but that she is supplying the best coffee that money can procure for the coffee drinkers of her house­ hold. One Immense advantage jxissessed by Ar­ buckle Bros, is that of being a hie to deliver tbe coffee berry to the consuD’er with all its delightful aroma and flavorlntact. Tbis they do by a process, the patents of which thev exclusively hold. cotwring^Lhe many little pores of the berry thprfiy holding in its goodness. Tbe imrnxlients used iu tiie process are entirely wholesome aud noth­ ing deleterious is used to mar the delicacy of flavor or taste. Part of the success of Arbuckles' coffup has been due to tbe generous aud uniqfie system used to popularize it. In each package of tbe coffee there is a list of articles. With each package iu which the list is found tbe purchaser buys a definite part of some article to be selected by him or Ikt from the list, subject only to the condition that the signature on the pack­ age is to be cut out and returned to Ar­ buckle Bros. Everybody should see this list. J/AYNE HOTEL. DETROIT STOMACH DISEASES. No Matter What You’ve Tried, Thia. The Best Is The kind <•' good# our counters are brimming over with.

It is probable the defence will not put on any witnesses, One of the most important witnesses Wednesday was Ray Snyder, who has been attending the State Normal school,‘at Ypsilanti, and for several years previous made his home with the Putnams. He testified to numerous quarrels between Mr- and Mrs. PtitnamKthe wife in nearly every instance lasing the aggressor. He stated that when in the presence of his wife Mr. Putnato seldom talked much, but when in the fields at work he was cheerful and talkative. Hisdaughter seemed to be influenced much more by her •mother than by her father, and to be in much greater sympathy with her. Snyder stated that he had received a k-tter from Mrs. Putnam, since Mr. Put:iani » de»tb. in which she Mid ot (’snydw) had bSo .0 well^cqualuted to the front of the room to deposit their .ballots, was Carried. This was done to prevent-anyone ‘•stuffing” the ballot hat. The first vote cast resulted in the election of H. R. Dick­ inson a« one.of the trustees and on the third ballot Dr.L. F. .Weaver was also elected. The matter of heating the school building was brought before the meeting and after considerable discus­ sion it was left entirely to the discrelion of the members’ of the board whether they remodel the heating systen\to the best of their knowledge or. whether a special public meeting be called for the purpose of considering the same., A motion was then made to have only nine months school during the year, but owing to- the small qumber of voters who remained to discuss this question the motion was withdrawn after which the meeting was adjourned. -------- t—*-*--*--------OFFLEY HEIRS VS.

In the universities in which courses ; in agriculture nre maintained the gen­ eral tendency is to make this course correspond In scope and thoroughness ' with those given in the other depart. meats, to divide the instruction In agri­ culture among an Increasing number of specialists, and to provide buildings and apparatus and illustrative ma­ terial on a scale In keeping with those In other branches. At the same time ' efforts are making to bring the unl1 verslty in close touch with the masses of farmers through spetlal schools, farmers’ institutes, nature teachings, and other forms of university exten­ sion work. Along with this is the deepening and strengthening of the scientific and practical researches, car­ ried on with a view of widening the world's knowledge of the facts, laws. । and processes required for the im­ provement of agriculture. Thirty I housan 1 Farmer Students. The classes In agriculture in these schools range In enrollment from 200 to 900 students. The total enrollment is 30.000. The full course In agricul­ ture covers four years, and practical farmers who know enough of other matters to make them Intelligent and desirable citizens are being sent out from these colleges at the rate of 8,000 a year, or 80.000 In a decade. That they will assist wonderfully In the de­ velopment of the country need not be doubted.

Their Instruction Is practical, too. for the colleges have farms under cul­ tivation and herds and droves of cattle and swine, and dairies and truck farms and orchards. The instructors are men who are entitled to write. “Bachelors of Science" after their names. They know all about the soils and the sea­ sons, and. what crops are adaptable and what are not, and their science goes so far as to include conditions in foreign countries and to be able to judge from them whether corn, or wheat or barley, or whatever product of the farm will be most In demand for export, and so command (be readi­ est market and the best price. They have reduced farming to a science, and are teaching It as a science. The cousrt ing will enable them to get more out of the earth and themselves than the tens of thousands of other earnest and honest men who have taken up home­ steads and gone to farming without any knowledge of or preparation for the cultivation of the soil. In au article in the Year Book of the Department of Agriculture on "Some Types of American Agricultural Col­ leges," A. C. True, Ph. D., director of the Government’s experiment stations, describes the essential features of some of these institutions of learning. Of the ’’Massachusetts Agricultural Col­ lege, which Is near Amherst, on a farm of 400 acres, situated In a most beau­ tiful part of the Connecticut river val­ ley, be says: “In 1897 the college had permanent endowment funds aggregating $360,­ 000, and its buildings, farms and equip­ ment were valued at about $315,000. The college buildings Include combined dormitory and class room building, chapel and library, laboratory for chemistry and physics, entomological laboratory with insectary, botanic la- ' boralory and museum, drill hall, dormi­ tory. president's bouse, several resi­ dences for professors, farm bouses, boarding house, horticultural plant houses, and barn. Including creamery and dairy laboratory. The experiment nation also has n chemical laboratory, botanical laboratory with plant bouse, and barns. ' 1 xcelleat Equipment. “On the farm 150 acres are under cultivation with a variety of field crops, and the extensive college barn is stocked with 100 bead of tattle ami equipped with the most improved agri­ cultural Implements amF» machinery. The horticultural grounds cover JOO acres, with orchards, vineyards, small fruit and vegetable plantations, nnd groves of forest trees. Much attention Is given to floriculture and landscape gardening, and the ample plant houses are well stocked with numerous varie­ ties of exotics. Some eighty acres are devoted to the work of the experiment station, including numerous plat exper­ iments with varieties of field and hor­ ticultural plants, fertilizers, methods of culture, etc., feeding experiments with animals, soil-Investigations, etc. “The laboratories of the different scientific depHrtments are well equip­ ped with apparatus for experimenta­ tion ami demonstration and with Illus­ trative material, such as spec linens of plants. Insects, aulnyils nnd machines, particularly those of Importance lu their relation to agriculture. The li­ brary of 18,000 volumes has l»een care­ fully collected with reference to the needs of an agricultural college, and is thoroughly catalogued and managed with a view to providing the-students every facility for obtaining the Infor­ mation they desire to gather from book*-. It is one of the most extensive and valuable collections of, l>ooks on the science and practice of agriculture to be found In this country. "The Instruction Is given by a corps of eighteen professors and assistants. The chairs Include botany, chemistry, agriculture, horticulture, zoology*, vet­ erinary science, mental and political science. English and Latin, modern language, mathematics and civil engi­ neering. and military science and tac­ tics. There Is also a lecturer on farm law. The student is required to follow a definitely prescribed curriculum dur­ ing three years, and In the hist year of ' room rent, beat, light, books, laboratory and other fees are estimated at $125. These expenses are often redneedyby receipts for labor performed on the farm or elsewhere about the college. There are thirty or more professors and assistants In the faculty, and lu addi­ tion to the chairs provided by the Mas-' sachusetts College there are professors of - mechanical engineering, domestic economy, and household science. * .NeBroevNat Received. The Mississippi Agricultural and Machanlcal College is conducted on the same general plan, except that women and negroes are not received as stu­ dents. Out of a total of "368 students entered last year 316 elected to take the agricultural course. By farm labor the students may reduce their expenses there to $100 a year. Over 800 students took the farming course last year In the Kansas State Agricultural College. In Manhattan. (MICHIGAN MATTERS. NEWS OF THE WEEK CONCISELY CONDENSED.

Tbe expenses for room rent, board, fuel, washlug and military suit for the college year are estimated to range from $150 to $300. Students performing labor at the col­ lege are paid by the State, and there are small endowment funds for the as­ sistance of needy students. The stu­ dents have their athletic associations and glee clubs and social amusements the same as at Harvard and Yale, and they are required to attend prayers and worship In the college chapel. The- Michigan State Agricultural College Is the oldest In tbe country. It was established by an act of tbe Mich­ igan Legislature in 1855, and for thirty years, like the Massachusetts College, had only an agricultural course. In 1800. under a materially Increased In­ come. a mechanical course was added, and later a woman’s course. Tbe laws of the State prescribe that it shall be a “high seminary of learning, In which the graduateDf the common school can commence, pursue, and finish a course of study terminating in thorough theo­ retic and practical Instruction In those sciences and arts which bear directly upon agriculture aud kindred Indus­ trial pursuits.'1 The college land, comprising G76 acres, Is divided Into the farm of 230 acres, devoted to field crops grown un­ der a system of rotation, forty-five acres of woodland pasture, 114 acres of lawns, gardens and orchards, 240 acres of forest, and 47 acres of experi­ mental fields and plats. Tbe farm is equipped with cattie, sheep and swine of the principal breeds. There are an arboretum of 150 species of trees, a botanic garden containing 1,200 species of native and foreign hardy herbaceous plants, with some shrubs, a grass gar­ den of 200 species of grasses and clov­ ers, and a weed garden of 100 species of the most troublesome weeds.

The college lands, of which 120 acres have been parked as college grounds, are 900 acres In extent "The farm," Mr. True says, “consists of rolling prairie, l>ottom and woodland, nnd is stocked with good representatives of five breeds of horses, six breeds of cattle, seven breeds of sheep, and six breeds of hogs. These animnls nre used In class 11 lus­ trations and for tbe various experi­ ments in breeding and feeding for milk, went, wool, growth, and mainten^muk conducted by the experiment strfflon as a department of the college. All tbe crops of the farm nre grown for some educational purpose: all the animals are fed by rule and system, and the re­ sults of their management reported up­ on and used in glass work. Lalior Is not compulsory, but students Ln the agrecultirral courses are given work that Is parallel with their studies. Some students pay for their board by work .Jn.the mornings and evenings. There Is a practical working creamery nnd cheese factory in oiieration throughout the year. During the summer season from 15,000 to 25,000 pounds of milk are taken in dally and manufactured into butter nnd cheese.

In BuAwn County a party of twentytwo water-bound negro men, women and children were ripened from tree tope, where they had been stationed for two day*. They were in a famished condition. The water ia subsiding along the upper •ource-of the Braaos, but is still rising near the gulf. It is now many feet above the hignest water mark ever known.

Sayers received a telegram signed by a committee of citiMtas of Fulshear, Fort Bend County, saytag that thousands of people in that coun­ ty are starring and appealing for immedi­ ate aid. Twenty-two counties nre submerged to a greater or less extent, and thousands of acres of cotton lands are under water. The loss of cotton yield is estimated at from 15.000 to 30,000 bales in each conn-' ty. entailing n monetary loss of fully $8,­ 000.000.

In'the Brazos river bottom near Brookshire.n station on the Missouri, Kansas nod Texas Railway, thirty-eight nines from Houston, * cornea an appalling account. The meaner dis­ patches received from there state that in the Brazos bottom men. women and chil­ dren are- lodged in trees and are dying from hunger nnd exhaustion. Hundreds of people, mostly negroes, arc the victims. Around Brookshire people are huddled like sheep on little knolls nnd in dthcr places of "temporary safety. A report received at Fort Worth by tel­ ephone from south Texas flood points gives additional appalling accounts of the disaster fraught by the unprecedented flooding of the Brazos river.’ Fully 200 lives have been lost near Sealey, nt a point milt'd The Mound. The spot is a small upland entirely surrounded by the raging waters, extending three or four Rnili-s in all directions. On this spot were congregated 300 negroes. The waters seemed to In* closing in on them, with no avenue of escape. On another small patch of ground, out in the river, near Brookshire, was another bunch of 400 negroes, who wore in danger of being swept away. The situation, the dispatches any. is frightful nnd people are panicstricken and unable to lend the unfortu­ nate ones-suecor of any kind. From indi­ cations the loss of.life will reach 500. un­ less imprisoned negroes are given assist­ ance. Reports received from Calvert nnd Brookshire, 100 miles down the river from Calvert, portray a fearful state of desolation nnd suffering. particularly among the plantation negroes hemmed in by the raging torrents. The river is seven feet higher than ever before, and the lash­ ing, leaping waters cover an expanse of more than live miles. Plantations along the river.’-near Hearne, arc all under wat­ er and crop* practically ^ruined. It ha* rained continuously for eight days throughout the flooded districts, the great­ est rainfall since 1842. when a similar dis­ aster befell, the people along the Brazos river and hundreds were drowned.

The new* wa* brought to Seattle. Wash., by the steamer- City of Topeka that Wind City, on the Wind river, the third south branch of the Peel, wa* a scurvy camp during the winter, and that a score of miner* have perished. It waa late in January when the last report was received from the pest camp by miner* crossing the Rocky Mountain* on the way to Daw*ou. These finally got through with the news. They did not have a list of the dead, bin the following were not expected to live when the mes­ senger left: Dr. J. B. Mason, Chicago; W. U. Cuch, San Francisco; Dr. Martin, 'dentist, Chicago; Edward Harris, ------Mitchell. All were very sick with the dread arc­ tie disease. Harris had to have a leg amputated from freezing, c a nd Mitchell wa* suffering from a broken leg. The miner* were the only one* left in Wind City. They sent out an Indian to secure assistance. He said the men were unable to care for themselves, Snd that none ex­ pected to live. ’ Wind City wak started last September, when about seventy-five miner* who had been trying to reach Dawson over the Edmonton trail gathered there and buflt winter quarter*. A number of substan­ tial cabin* went up. and when winter settled down V.’ind City Ivecame a lively place. The whirl of social affair* wa* varied and interesting. For four months the miners at Wind City had just u* good a time a* the miners in any other part of Alaska. Nothing wont seriously wrung until one morning several of the miner* were struck down with the scurvy. They were followed by several others. The )M*stih*nee secnuyl to strike the catnp all iti once. Soon half of the seventy-five people there were stricken with the dis­ ease. Then came the undoing of. Wiml City. Those of the miner* who rould move loaded their sled* and turned their cabin* over to the les* fortunate. With word* of good cheer all round, parties set off. one by one, over tbe snow and ire. Death helped to depopulate Wind City The scurvy seemed to la- particularly fatal. The medicine which Mr. Mason had was soon exhausted and when he wa* stricken down himself he had noth­ ing left tv. take. There were no vegeta­ bles in the cniap and no source from which fresh one* could be secured. There is a-graveyard at Wind City where the botiies of fifteen or twenty men lie in testimony of tbe terrible price some had to pay for gold. In tbe outlying cabin* several dead men have nothing but frozen blanket* for their coffin*. They died af­ ter all the well men left the camp, and there Is no ohc to bury them. Telcsrapbic Brevitteo.

One hundred frenzied women and twen­ ty men rushed panic-stricken from a three-story building in Chicago to escape being burned to death. Seven women were injured leaping from the windows, arjd many others 'jumped without bring hurt. The budding was ocCnpied by the Western Paper Steck Company. But for the efforts of John Gregson and James Hughes, jt is probable many more of the panic-stricken women would have suffered injuries. These men procured u ladder when they^saw the women leaping from the third-story window to the two-story sb<*d adjoining the building, and placing it against the shed, managed to conduct the women down to the ground with some semblance of order. The building was burned to the bare walls. MINISTER'S HOUSE WRECKED. Dynamite Used in an Attempt to Kill an Indiana Pastor. . . Early <he other morning the residence of Rev. N. C.

Christian Worker, from AH States aud Canada ArePresant-DetroltDida All Hearty Welcome-Old Officers Beelected-Year’a Frogreaa Reviewed. Fifteen thousand Clyl«tian Endeavorera attending the eighteenth annual in­ ternational convention at Detroit march­ ed into Tent Endeavor on the opening night singing, hymns and waving the flags symbolical of their order. .Officials of the society announced from the speakers' stand that this meeting established a new record for a Christian Endeavor conven­ tion, both in numbers and enthusiasm. Fringed about the thousands who were seated within the canvas auditorium wefe other thousands who tiptoed aud pressed over and aghinst their neighbors in their $nxiety to see and to hear. From the moment (he great audience rose and sang the first inspiring song to the last dying strain ot the orchestra that played dur­ ing the reception following the set pro­ gram. through the thousands-of people ran an indescribable exulting flood'of re­ ligious sentiment. At sundown long wavering lint-s of young folks from various directions cross-, ed the green fields about the white-tented city, all converging toward Tent En­ deavor, beneath whose broad, spreading canvas the welcoming rally was held. The crowds poured in through' the four en­ trances on each side and down the six broad sawdust covered aisles, until the great tent’s capacity of 10,000 was filled, after which a crowd of .outsiders obtain­ ed sight and bearing through a dropping of the tent walls at each side. The Christian Endeavor red and white was suspended in hundreds bT broad streamers from the- lofty roofs of the eaves. Flags of all nations, drftped with the Stars and Stripes, hong-overhead at intervals. The coat of arms of tbe States were attached to tbe tent poles. The Christian Endeavor monogram shone from large red and white electric globes over the resonator, suspended above the speaker's platform. Higher up the union jack nnd the Stars and Stripes intermin­ gled. Great Choir Furnishes Music. A thousand white-capped young men and maids composed the choir on the big stage, the front of which was occupied by the officers and clergy. Promptly at 7:30 o'clock arose tbe swelling strains of "The Son of God Goes Forth lo War," followed by "There Shall Be Showers of Blessing," "Onward, Christian Soldiers," etc., inzall of which the groat crowd enthusiastically joined. Devotional vx«-r<-i»es were led by Rev. J. G. Butler of Washington. The welconw of the local committee was extended by William H. Strong, its chairman. Mr. Strong dwelt upon the beauties of Detroit and greeted the dele­ gates not only on behalf of the local Christian Endeavor societies, but also on behalf of tbe young people's religious so­ cieties. allied to special denominations, which had collaborated in all efforts of the general committee. Rev. Charles B. Newman eloquently welcomed the con­ vention in behalf of Detroit pastors, flay­ er Mayberry also welcomed the En­ deavors. ’ Greeting from Foreign Land*. Next on the program came responses in behalf of Endeavorers from foreign lands. As Rev. William Patterson of To­ ronto came forward to speak for Canada some one struck up "God Save the Queen.” The Canadians on the platform took up the strain and In a moment the huge tent was reverberating with the swelling chorus of the British anthem. Th A friendly relations between Canada and the United States, particularly with reference to religious matters, formed the burden of Dr. Patterson’s address. Rev. Dr. H. J. Tressider, secretary of the Izondon council of Christian Endea­ vor. answered the greetings in behalf of Groat Britain. "Perish (he mad dream," said he, "that a conflict should ever cotne between our two countries. It is the work and the duty of the Christian Eudearorors to make impossible such an idea.” For Australia response was made by Rev. Joseph Walker, of Queensland: for China, by Rev. Elwood G. Tewksbury, a missionary in the vicinity of Pekin: for Turkey, by Rev. Lyndon 8. Crawford, for many years a missionary in that coun­ try; for Japan, by Rev. Otis Carey; for Mexico, by Bev. C. Scott Williams, and for tbe United States by Rev. Arthur J_ Smith of Georgia. Trustee* Review the YearAt the meeting of the trustees the busi­ ness before the United Society was quick­ ly transacted. Treasurer Shaw’s rejn>rt showed expenditures during the fiscal year of $9,678, and $352 now in the treas­ ury. The report of George B. Graff of Boston, agent of the publishing depart­ ment. under whose direction the Chris­ tian Endeavor World is published, showmi cash on hand at the beginning uf the fiscal year, June'l. 1898, $1,110; receipts during the year, $67,956; expenditures, $66,628; cash on hand. $2.439., The Western office of the publishing depart­ ment. localtsl nt Chicago, reported expen­ ditures of $12,563, and $664 now In its treasury.

Grave apprehension exists among '’rtny surgeons as a result of rejiort* rei\*ived during the last twenty-four hour* front Santiago. The yrllrfw fever ^epidemic which threatens that province was anti­ cipated some tjmc ago. although tbe dread of th.- doet4h> has been carefully romi-aled and no mention of it ha* been allowed to get into the reports given out al the War Department. Some time ago the de­ partment Was advised that the conditions ar Havana nnd at Santiago wer- not such, even now, a* to assure the troops, nnd |Hs»plc there immunity from conta­ gious diseases. It was said the system of sanitation adopted was inadequate, and, coming as it did after the long period of utter disregard of all the rates of public health, it was not to be exported the yellow fever could be kept out. There have been a number of deaths, most of them so sudden that the day which brings the first news of disability often brings later the notice of death. Throe officer* hnve died of the disease in as many days. The surgeons report that they an- making heroic efforts to stay the spread of the contagion, which has gaiqed a stroiiz. foothold. Rear Admiral Sampson ha* nt-rived a body blow from an unexpected quarter, nnd is to Im- deprived of his admiral’s pay from Aug. 10. when bv was appointed by the President in advance of Schley, to the adjournment of Congress. Acting. Con­ troller <»f the Treasury Mitchell has held that a* the Semite did not confirm the President's appointment he can draw no pay as such, but only since his regular appointment under the naval personnel bill, by which 'he becomes junior to S)-hlvy. The Controller decides hii ad­ vancement in rank is not complete until confirmed by the Senate, and hence n<» pay can accrue until tbe promotion i* legally completed. This decision will tend to stop the Sampson-Schley controversy, for if Sampson is barred out of his extra pay there wuuhl be no advantage in nopeuiug the matter, n* he- is uow a roar admiral,in good standing, and draws pay us such, although still junior to Schley. The revival of the story that the War Department has let army clothing Con­ tracts to sweat shop* in the large cities, uotnbly at Philadelphia, is pronounced by army quartermasters absolutely un­ true.' No large contracts for made uni­ form* have bceu awarded iately, aud all those which are let hnve a provision that the work is to be done in factories. In­ spectors are employed to observe closely the methods uf the contractors, and a rol>urt that a manufacturer is having his "finishing" done outside his plant lead* to a rejection of the material. Under the system adopted by the War Department, the volunteer regiments will be national in character, nnd yet each command will Im- uinde up of men from the same locality, so the regiments will have the necessary local pride in their identity. There will lx* stragglers in all the regiments, but us a rule the men will be near neighbors and there will be goodnatured rivalry in seeing which section of the country i)f first in filling up its regi­ ment. The first regiment to be fully or­ ganized and drilled will stand the best chance of an early call for active duty. . Col. David B. Henderson, the prospec­ tive Speaker, called upon the President the other morning by appointment, and remained at the White House for inorr than an hour. When he left he decline)! to talk nl>out his conference with the President. Col. Henderson still adhere* to hi* belief that there will not be an early session of Congress. Told in a Few Lines.

And there he remained, with eyes down­ cast, for three or four minutes after his companion bad betaken hitnaelf to hla room—remained in deep reverie, hie brow furrowed with care. Pntsentiy a word or two escaped him. "Dick Is on my mind!” he muttered. "Dick will give us trouble. Filton is raah —Very raah. I have lost confidence in him, and he baa lost confidence Ln him•elf. And he ia a bad man—a very bad man! He ia meditating an evil deed bow!” . Then the soliloquizer heaved a aigh—a weary, heavy sigh, aa If hlj schemes for wealth had hardly bcougbt him much to care for. He moved two paces forward, then ratin' to a standstill again, hesitating as a person who had not yet fully made up hia mind about some perplexing thing which he bad decided on. "No one would ever guesg-the truth." he muttered again. "It was all cleverly managed; nnd years have rolled between. Lane would hold his tongue for his own cake. Why should I be so disturbed? Ah. if that letter was safe in my keeping, or If I could satisfy myself that the fire had consumed it, I would defy tbe world!" He raised his head at this juncture, and Mabel, to whom hope bad <-ome back—for .the probability was that, as hls face was turned away* from her hiding place, he would not detect her—saw with renewed torture that be made another stand by tbe hall table. ’ ‘ "He had better have consented to leave Mabel where she IsF,’ be went on, Tn a low tone. "Here she is safe—everybody thinks her insane; w’hy- cannot be let well alone?" He dapped his hand upon his brow, as If distracted with miserable surmises, then in low-breathed words once more gave vent tp his many fears. “With Mabel disposed of in some ob­ scure German village and Dick in South Ameffca, hr. thinks he will be secure. Madman—he will risk too much, and be will not listen to reason! Will Caroline be silenced? Will not even Netta and Miss Gray begin to ask where Mabel is. and why Dick does not come back? And he will come back—nt last!" Another weary sigh, telling* of deep un­ rest within; and then be moved slowly with heavy step from the ball, and Mabel, hardly trusting yet that he would not come back, hoard him ascend the stairs, and a door often and close again. She bad escaped such terrible dangers, such awful peril, that she said to herself success must reward her now. Still she knew well enough-that the least want-of nerve, the slightest noise, might betray her: her hand& were trembling so that she might easily let fall a bar or overshoot a bolt in her efforts to unfasten the house door. Two or three nights, before she had tak­ en tbe precaution to secrete matches and a small piece of candle, but she did not dare to strike a match while her uncle a: least was awake in a room over the porch.: yet, if she delayed. Jane might awalce. discover that she had left the room, and rouse the inmates of the cot­ tage. If so. discovery’was certain. In this agonizing dilemma she felt softly for the lock of the door. Was the key in it? Yes—heaven be praised! Tbe heavy handle of. the htige key touched her fin­ gers. Oh. for a gleam of light to enable her to take down the long bar which was one of the fastenings! But she waa In perfect darkness, with her heart beating almost to suffocation and her limbs shak­ ing. Two solemn strokes boomed out upon the night air. Two o’clock! Dared she hesitate any longer? How many minutes had she remained there in deadly peril? She was about to strike a match, and nt all hazards make a dash for freedom, when she heard a door open above and a footstep—a man’s footstep—descend the stairs. Yes. yes—the footsteps were those of the man who called himself her father! All was Inst then! She was hot to es­ cape! Ah. he was returning to the hall*. Farewell hope so sweet and fleeting! She could not dream of escaping detection this time. With the blind instinct of despair, she groped her way bock to her shelter, and then consciousness left her as she crouch­ ed against the wail. When Mabe! reopened her eyes, the morning light was creeping Into the hall from a window above. Daylight—and she was still where she had fainted, nor waa the household yet astir! Slowly recollection returned to her, and she realized how she bad come there, and bow it was that day was breaking nnd that she was in the ball instead of In ber own chamber. Staggering to her feet, she listened for an instant, her senses sharp­ ened by keenest terror. One thing was clear notwithstanding all her bewilder­ ment. On the next few moments hung her life’s happiness! Dick had in some manner been sent away from her to a dis­ tant land—she herself was to be taken far from England in a few short hours. In the dim light she unbarred and un­ bolted the heavy door and turned tbe key. Tbcfe—it was open—the cruel obstacle which had stood between herself and free­ dom; and Mabe! tottered out into tbe chill air of the Noveml»er dawn. The light was very dim—under the trees it was yet quite dark and the affrighted girl fled to the friendly shelter. Rhe bad almost gained it when a hand waa laid upon ber shoulder and a man In rough country garb stood before her.

I have watched for you all night!” ■be fainted a second time, but he caught ber in his arms. V It was Neville who carried her to a fly which -11 this time had been either driven ■lowly up and down the grassy lane or was drawn up by the roadside, awaiting what the driver believed to be a runaway couple, for Neville had feed him heavily while impressing him with this belief. When Mabel unclosed ber eyes once more she bees me aware of the joyful fact that the vehids 1b which she was seated was traveling swiftly and that Neville was beside ber. "Oh, Neville, am I indeed free? Where are wp going?'’ she asked, hysterically. 'Ts ray sister. Try to Clhn yourself. dearest—no one shall tear you from me. We are going to the village of Ulby, about ten miles on the road to London. There my sister’s carriage will meet us—it la safer than a journey by train." “Ah, Neville, you have saved me!” she ejaculated. "And I have such a tale to 'unfold! But you must not judge.by my words; I will show’you the proof." “And I had been taught to suppose that your reason was unsettled!" he returned, looking at her with deepest, fondest anx­ iety. "For three days I have been watch­ ing the cottage disguised.” At Ulby Lady Eflington's carriage—sent on tbe evening before to the little innreceived the pair, Neville having discard­ ed hb corduroy jacket and donned an overcoat which his foresight > had pro­ vided. Twenty miles further on Lady Effington herself met them; aud by nine o'clock Ma­ bel, exhausted by nil she had endured, was beyond the reach of any immediate dan­ ger. "Th? first thing to be done Is to-give her food and let her sleep." said Lady Efflngton. regarding Mabel's white cheeks with anxiety. ‘ ’ "Food—rest? I must take neither till I have seen our family lawyer!" cried Ma­ bel, now in tears. “Dick is in danger; so are my sisters.” “Do not make her talk any more, Ne­ ville. Cannot you see she is exhausted?" observed Lady Effington. "But I am safe now!" said Mabel, faint­ ly, and then she became unconscious. CHATTER' XX. Seated at his ease in his luxurious li­ brary, the man who for so many years bad usurped a position to which he had no claim and wealth to which he had no right reviewed the crisis through which he bad passed. He had paid off bis enemy, who, satis­ fied that there was uo more to be wrung out of him at present, would leave him in peace tor several years. Dick would not be back just yet from an involuntary voy­ age to South America. Caroline, Netta and Bella, though they mourned their sis­ ter's absence, were perfectly submissive, and in no way reproached him for being the cause of it. As for Mabel herself, she was practically harmless; say what she might, it would be set down to insanity. Had he not Dr. Crane’s opinion to support hifii? But, in truth, after tbe first bewil­ dering terror at news of her flight, he hud experienced a sensation of relief; and. if she ever returned be would hnwlthe morr plausible reason for sending her to a pri­ vate asylum. , No, he did not ranch fear Mabel. Not a whisper had gone forth against him; all hia neighbors vied with each other in re­ spectful sympathy with his grief; he would escape the pitfall which had yawn­ ed to engulf him. Then his thoughts traveled on into the future. “It is like my own possession now," he said within himself, with a sardonic smile, as he glanced round the lofty walls on which hung costly paintings, beneath which marble statues of statesmen and poets and busts of bygone Chari fords were ranged. “It was a bold move, aud it succeeded!" he muttered. "I should net have the hardihood to play the part twice over, but, having played it, I will sustain it to the end. A place like this is surely worth running a risk for.” Miss Gray was still at Charlford House with Netta and Bella, who would have been lon<4y enough without her, for Caro­ line was not much of a companion to ber young sisters, and bad gone to London on a brief visit to a friend.' She felt nstless aud miserable, she had said, and tfould be glad of any change in the anxiety she felt concerning Mabel. And the so-called Mr. Charlford was relieved at her absence, and, in. his then state of mind, offered no opposition to her departure. By Ills neighbors and by the inmates of bis house be was supposed to be sitting brooding by his lonely hearth, mourning for his lost daughter, when in reality he was enjoying bis ense. On this night, however, bis uneasy sense qf possible danger died down. An unex­ pected ring at the hall door, succeeded by the announcement of Mr. John Cbarlforfl, was sufficient to revive his fears in a very uncomfortable manner. He started from bis seat and grew deathly pale when he perceived that his visitor was agitated. , "Why have you come?” he gasped, the moment the servant had closed the door. "Why?" echoed John Charlford. "Be­ cause 1 cannot rest! Because I dread that something may happen! ’’'ikony-it was an ill deed that you forced me to do,'nnd I had better have suffered then than have lived alFtljes? years to suffer now." "Stop this folly!" cried the other, sav­ agely. "Am I safe? You got what yoji sinned for. We must all pay a price for what we get in this world!” “1 can feel the storm brooding in the air before breaking.” moaned John Charlford. "When it does break, who will pity us?" "Pity? Of what use will that be to us? Do stop that moaning and tell me, while you have your senses, whether anything has occurred to cause you to speak like thia." v "Has not enough occurred already?" whispered his miserable listener. "Hush! Was that some one at the door?" and he started from his seat. "You will be your own destruction, and mine, too, if you act in this fool's way!" cried Filton. "If a down people were at the door, how would that endanger you? Your own face is enough to bang you, though, It,is true. I shall tell the ser­ vants you are not well, and you will go to bed and remain there until you have your wits more tinder control. Now hold your tongue while I give orders about your room." And soon the weaker culprit of the two —unable to resist the other’s will, still more ■ slave to It, if that could be, than he had felt himself so many years before, when be bad consented to save himself frojn the consequences of an evil deed at tbe expense of his dead brother** children —was installed in one of tbe visitors' rooms at Charlford House, rhe servants being informed thst he was ■* invalid in very delicate health. When the other man found himself alone again, he paced the room frantically. The fact was, hia nerves were unstrung by hla late continual watching for what might overwhelm him; and this unlooked- for vtrit of John Charlford'*, this coefwS»on of anticipated evil, affected him in a strange manner. In vain he attempted to battle with the feeling: he detected hlmetif Hateaing for noise* and starting without adequate cause. “It. is Dick whom I fear—Dick!" he muttered. “But I must tell him a specious tale. Of course he must be made to beHeve that I have done all that lay in my power to find him—that I have been silent to his slaters in order not to oppress their hearts with too much misery just when they are mourning their sister Mabel's loss. Perhaps I made a mistake In get­ ting him drugged and shipped for Rio; but who does not make some mistakes in this miserable world?" Then, sitting down to brood over his fears and dangers, he watched the twi­ light creeping over the stately cedars in the park atuFthe forest trees, now nearly stripped of their leafy beauty. Meanwhile Neville Wynmore, about to start for the West Indies in search of the missing Dick, a dew to whose abduction he had received, was hurriedly writing some instructions to his steward before hia departure, when a detective he had employed waa ushered in. The man was to accompany him. so that Lord Wynmore Mas not surprised at his ■visit, though he had not expected Mm to call. One glance at his face, however, showed Neville that he came with impor­ tant tidings. . “You bring news!” he exclaimed, rising hastily to meet him. “Yea. my lord; and there is no time to lose. Miss Charlford is to meet her lover to-night. She will arrive at the Padding­ ton Station—presumably on a visit to a friend—about 5 o’clock. To be brief, I bribed the maid, who already had her sus­ picions. To her I am indebted for this news; she managed to read a couple of the young lady’s letters, which informed her of the fact that her young mistress had arranged to meet a gentleman at tbe Paddington Station to-night—I infer the rest. You are well acquainted with Miss Charlford, my lord; disgflise yourself in some way and accompany me without loss of time.” In a moment Neville had darted down­ stairs. “Here, Turner," he said—"lend me your oldest hat and coat for a disguise, and be quick about it. and then call a hansom! Quick!" • "Yes, my lord," answered Turner, dis­ appearing tbe next minute bearing in one hand a wide-brimmed light gray bat and an overcoat, while from the other hand dangled a false brown beard. In a very short time Lord Wynmore was whirling along in a hansom by the aide of the detective, looking very much like a respectable middle-aged farmer who could not afford to wear too new a coat. "Shall we be in time?" he asked, anx­ iously, aa they drove Into the yard of the terminus. "A minute to spare, my lord." answered the detective, springing from the cab. One minute to five! But the train was not in when they hurried on to the arrival platform. They had retailed their cab. in view of having to follow Caroline, and now they took up a position as if waiting —like so many others—for the arrival of a friend. Neville stood behind the detec­ tive. but he was so disguised that even Mabel would not hnve recognized him. Scarcely three minutes had elapsed when the train they were so anxiously looking for steamed slowly in. A moment later he touched his com­ panion's arm. "There she is," he said hurriedly: “and her maid is with her. I^>ok—that young Indy in black velvet! The inaid wears a green costume." At that instant a tall, handsome, evil­ looking man hurried up to them and took Caroline’s hand. . "The carriage is waiting," tjiey heard him say. Caroline, much.agitated, though she en­ deavored to seem at ease, exclaimed, with a forced smile: "Ob, has my friend sent you to meet me?” "Yes," he said, with an answering smile; “she did not like you to drive through the streets alone. Where is your luggage? Let me lead you to the-carriage.” "Gibbons," said Caroline, turning to her maid, “as my friend has sent her brother to meet me, I need not take you such a long drive, and you will be glad to get un­ der shelter this cold evening: so you can take a cab and drive at once to Madame Henriette’s, order the dress and tell her to be ready to fit it on to-morrow, and then go to the lodgings I have engaged for you. As my friend's house is so full, she cannot take you in for a couple of days. Do you understand?" "Yes, miss,” returned the maid, demure­ ly. perfectly comprehending the ruse, for she had read her mistress’ letters and was certain that this tall gentleman who pass­ ed for the brother of Miss Charlford's friend was a secret lover. "I believe jt will be a runaway match this time!” she thought, as she showed a porter her mistress’ luggage, and then pre­ pared to obey her orders. "Am I to come to you the first thing to­ morrow morning, miss?” she asked, as she was about to enter the cab.. "No. not to-morrow—it would only cause confusion when the house is so full!" an­ swered Caroline, with suppressed agita­ tion. “The next day at dinner time—in time to dress me—will be soon enough. Good night.” "Good night, miss,” replied Gibbons, with difficulty repressing a smile. Then she got into the cab nnd drove off, leaving Caroline nnd the tall, evil-looking stranger standing together on the plat­ form. CHAPTER XXL Neville and the detective were dose at hand. Neville’s back toward the couple, while the detective had taken him by the buttonhole, and was apparently pouring some story Into his ear. "Oh, Horace, where are we going?" fal­ tered Caroline. e "Can you ask. dearest?" he replied. “One more night in England, and then a new life begins for me—for us! Then hey for the far West—for love—for youT’ "Oh, Horace," she said .while tears roll­ ed down her cheeks, "can happiness come to us like this?” "Be sjre it will, darling!” he answered. "Come—all is ready for our bridal.” "Is this your luggage, miss?" asked a I>orter, coming up. Caroline nodded—she could not apeak. "Want a four-wheeler, sir?” asked tbe porter. "Yes—be as quick as you can!" answer­ ed Caroline’s companion. > , The luggage was soon put up and tbe trembling girl seated within the cab. “Where to, rirF' asked tbe driver. "Drive to Teviot street. Poplar. I’ll stop yoa at the house—I’ve forgotten the number," said the man who was bearing off the unhappy girl. "Keep that cab within sight,‘and I will give you five pounds!” said Neville to Ms driver; and soon the two cab*—one follow­ ing the otKer—were on their way to tbe East End of London In the twilight. "What a dread fol sight these streets present!" said Caroline, with a shudder. "Horace, all my love for you cannot blind me to the fact that I have done very wrong. Oh, what a sad bridal mine will be—hurried^ late, and among strangers!" "I will make up to you for all,” replied ber companion, taking her hands in his. Caroline trembled without replying, but he drew her head on to bis shoulder with well-simulated affection, and th? cab jolt­ ed slowly on—on through the gas-lighted streets, where miserable women and half­ clad children were to be seen at every turn, and where drunken men thronged the doors of the gin shops. "A pretty place he’s taking the lady to, my lord!" said the detective, ns they drove along. Neville nodded, without averting his gase from the vehicle in front.- If they ■hould lose it for.a moment! How much depended on a successful Issue to their quest! What an endless drive It seemed from Paddington to Poplar! How Nevllle's'eyes ached, and his heart too! A dozen times he thought he had lost sight of the cab he was pursuing; once it stopped in order that the driver might ask his way, once again because of a street accident; but through all mischances Neville never withdrew hia gaze from the cab in front of them. "Good heavens, is this where he is tak­ ing Caroline? Then indeed he must think it wall to keep out of sight!’ he said to himself as he got out and watched from the other ride of the street the ill-assorted couple alight and enter a house. The man had thrown a large dark shawl over Caroline's head and shoulders—per­ haps because he wanted to screen her from the notice of passers-by, perhaps be­ cause he did not jrisb her ,0 t0° n,uch ■hocked by the quarter to which be had taken her. “Now, then, my lord,” said the detec­ tive, crossing the street. Without the loss of a moment Neville put the promised gold into the hands of the delighted cabman. "Wait,” he said, "and you may got a fare back.” Then he hastened after his guide. * •, A man loitering fa-the street exchanged a word or two with the detective as they paused before tbe house which Caroline had entered. “Who is that?" asked Neville, stopping short. "A brother officer—there is another in tbe background. We may want help, my lord," replied tbe detective, ns he knocked . aoftiy at the door. A woman with unkempt hair and sleeves.; turned up presented herself. She stared j at the two men who stood there. "Wo want lodgings—have you a spare ' room?" said the detective, softly ad vane- i Ing along the passage, followed by Ne- ' ville—an entrance must be effected at all i hazards. "My rooms are all took for to-night, gen- | tiemen," responded tbe woman. "It's no j use you stopping'. The day after to-mor­ row you may come, If so be you're in want of rooms then.” "No; we want them to-night," said the 1 detective, listening anxiously to a murmur . of voices above. The woman stepped quickly to the foot of the stairs. “I tell you I’ve no lodging to spare. Be I off or I’ll call my husbAnd." she said, men- ' acingly. “Hush"’ returned the detective, whinpering in her ear. "I am a police officer, nnd there are two more outside. Don't get yourself into Rouble, but let me do my duty.” v The woman turned pale, hesitated, then stood back, while tbe detectire, followed by Neville, went up the wooden staircase three steps at a time, but not before he had unlatched (be house door, admitting his colleagues, who were in readiness to support him. * (To be continued.) not readily P*“ through.

An Ideal Brood Copp. Here is a plan of a good brood coop, one that Is a protection to the little chicks from the weather, cats, rats, hawks and other vermin. It can be made of boxes, one with the top and bottom off for the yard, and. the other with.tbe bottom in and a roof over It, It should set on inch pieces to keep out the water In case It should happen to be set in a low place. The yard should have wire netting across it to keep out the older fowls and keep the hen In, In case she la let out in the run. Move the coop a little each day so as to have fresh grass and ground, aqd cover the Molasse* Cake for Cattle Fsed. At a late session of the French Na­ tional Agricultural Society, Paris, a molasses cake was exhibited which. It is said, had been used for cattie feed with excellent effect. The cake la mads by a Parisian. Mr. A. Vaury, the well--• known maker of'bread for the army. Its manufacture consists in the boiling of molasses and working It briskly with mixture of corn flour and bran, when It 1b pressed into the ordinary form of a cake aud packed in bags fo> sale. Tbe proportions' used are. one-third mo­ lasses, one-third flour, one-third bran. The suburban dairymen claimed that In the use of this molasses cake there are extra yield of milk and an increase in proportion of butter fat.

I win try and.find Mr. Ostrotb, as you suggested, and will be very ►glad to meet him. Yes. I received the sad new* of Mother’s death a year ago last fall. Poor Mother:if only 1 could have beard of her illness I would ha$e come home at once to see her. My mind has been on ber every since, ana 1 think always will be. It seems as though I can hear her calling nt times. Weil Turn more tljan glad to know that you are alive aud well. It must be lonesome for you and Trypbena to be at home alone, after being With so many of us for so many years. I have been fairly lucky, since 1 came (o Alaska. I took two Norwe­ gians as partners, nnd they are verv nice men. We located .a claim cfon last spring, and sold them two weeks ago for ♦51,000, giving'ud ♦G.tJdd each: besides we washed out 62,000 <yac.h last .summer. This looks very easy on 'paper, but we worked very bard and went through a great many hardships, but we started well prepared, with plenty of clothes and provisions for three'years.. Our claims are about 35 miles'from the Tanana divide. A claim-i« (MW feet wide and 1320 feet long. We are going back as soon as the ice goes out, ana expect to pros­ pect in that same vicinity this summer. Our provisions are already in there, and that is a great item. One of my partners killed a moose lust winter: it dressed about 600 pounds. There are no deer in this country: it is too cold for them to live here. Moose, carribou, wolves and ’near constitute the game of the country, and they are very .scarce. - I have had no time to hunt this winter. The Indians are Very good here. They kept us In fish and fresh meal last -ummer. They would come and V.isit us » verv evening. We would try to tetl them bow many whites there are where we came from, but they could not understand how it could be. Well, 1 will look for an answer from you in due time.

The people al Allegan are startled । over a large meteor which fell to the' earth near that place Monday morn­ ing. It weighed oyer one hundred pounds and was imbedded three fuel jn the grouad. Several workmen saw the meteor descend and after it had cooled off they dug it out and took it to unp of the stores where it was left on exhibition. Some unknown patriot gets off the following:"I’ve licked a dozen stamps today for telegrams P sent. I licked and sluck one on a bill with which I paid my rent. I licked a stamp to paste upon a note which I renewed, and then I licked another one to make my mortgage good. I’ve licked those stamps to show that 1 respect my country's will, and now I’d like lo liek the man that introduced the bill.” , "Here,” says anexchange;“issome­ thing that is worth two dollars to aby farmer to know: Sprinkle lime in your stock tank and not a particle of scum .will form on the water. Whenthelime loses its strength and scum begins to form, which may be twice during the season, wash out the tank and repbat the dose. It is cheap, and not only harmless, but wholesome, keeps the water sweet and saves the live stock.” Capt.

Final estimates have been put out by Director Roberts of the United States mint showing the output of precious metals in this country during 18W*. An­ other record of increased production is the result. The total gold outputof America, accord ing to the compilation, was ♦64,463.000, as against ♦57,333,000 in 1897. and of silver 54.438,000 fine ounces, as compared with 53,860,000 in 1987. The commercial value of silver bullion was 59 cents per line ounce, against 60 cents the previous year. Tbe steady growth in gold production is notable', from the fact that 4jo new discoveries of notable moment have been recently made, while in states where it has long been supposed the deposits were becoming .worked out the production holds up, and even con­ tinues toincrease. tteloradomaintains the position of prestige, both in gold ace»: Idaho is crsdiUd Mn gold.and 5..J73JW0 Orejm with ♦I.I77,(WO . 13O.nOf» ounce* silver: igtoir stand* eleventh In ninth in silver, of Grand Ledge 45 days'In the cc a sentence of Sheriff Sbepard Searched - him and found the watch and chain belonging to Brumm, the allege^ murderer of Molly Flager.

His defense trill be insanity. A story i* told of a grocery»nun of a neighitoring town who gathered in a quantity of "fresh” eggs whilemaking his usual dailytripthroughthecountry with his grocery wagon. He set the eggs on the rear of the wagon and was busily dealing out their equivalent in growries for the seller when a weak little "peep” attracted bis attention. Looking over his egg crates he was surprised to see a number ot shells breaking aud lively little chickens making their debut. Theladv assured him the eggs had just been laid that morning. The grocery dealer of course ac*»ptea the theory thatthehotweather was responsible for it all. Eight years ago Annie Payson Call wrote ‘-‘Power Through Reposef a gospel nf relaxation instead of tension. There is need to substitute morality for emotionalism in religion. Prob­ ably, more than any other people in the world, we have suffered from mis­ direction of conscience into emotional channels—into a highly-wrought love affair, instead of a deep-felt but un­ demonstrative adhesion to ideal* of right living. The pro|>ortion of in­ mates of sanitariums due to this cause is so appalling that it behooves, re­ ligious teachers to look-to theddetrine of relaxation, not as to a foe, but as to un ally in the uplifting of humanity to a greater efficiency of moral power. —The Century. Another marvelous invention in the way of a cyclone destroyer has been announced by E. D. Betts of Chicago. The advice has been offered to the United States government by the in­ ventor. The invention is a small can­ non with a weather vane and an air trigger. The weather vane is for the purpose of aiming the cannon, which rests upon a vertical pivot. When a cyclone approaches, the vane turns the cannon so it points directlv al the funnel-shaped cloud. When the wind reaches a velocity of sixty-five miles an hour it will spring the trigger and fire the cannon. The projectile fired into the revolving cloud will throw it off and it will scatter into -----its - . balance ---------- - ----a harmless zephyr. lUbflt you (jot, That ia the imj tantthing.

The lovers linger n moment or two tie­ hind the others, and Neville adds fondly: "This day next week we shall see the stars together on the shores of the Med­ iterranean, and you will be—rapturous thought—my wife!" Something of heavenly beauty irradiates Mab’s face as she responds to his words: “Here or there, what matters it to me now, Neville? . “ ‘For where thou art is home to me.

The house I was then occupying was a bungalow, and. as In the case with many bungalows, the Inner walls were constructed of merely sun-dried bricks, aud in the recesses of one wall a col­ ony of white ants hati established a nest. It was evening; I was commenc­ ing dinner. I heard behind me a buzz­ ing sound; I turned, and from a hole near the bottom of ffhe wall I beheld a fountain of young white ants ascend­ ing. They Reached the celling, and then the descent commenced. They alighted by thousands on the table, and there shook off their wings. In a few minutes the cloth, the plates, the glasses, even the lamp shades, were covered with the little white, feeble, crawling creatures. The fountain of ants continued to piny for nt least ten minutes. When next morning the floor was swept the wings that the ants had shaken off fillet! a large basket What became of the ants themselves I can­ not say.—From "Haunts nnd.

' । A Curious Word Survi' An Instance of the survival of old t।' words In country districts came under i notice at Beaconsfield this week, j In a tender to the urban council for public lighting the contractor quoted terms for "lighting and clouting” the lamps. The word "dout" Is regarded by etymologists as obsolete, although It was In olden times used in the sense io quench,! being a contraction of "do out" in the same way that "doff" nnd "don" are contractions of “do off ’ and "do on.” The word is used In Shakspenre (Hamlet, Act 1, Scene iv.): One dram of base Doth all the noble substance dout. The word Is still in common use In the villages of Buckinghamshire among the tailoring classes, but It Is rather unusual to find It used in connection with a business transaction of a pub­ lic body.—London News. Prot&bly the longest game of chess ever known was that played between a man living in Australia and a friend In Newark. N. Y. Each move was made by letter, one player making uiw? of the Europe and Suez Canal route, nnd the other writing via the Pacific Ocean and San Frhnclsdo. Five years* elapsed before the game was drawn to a close.

Yet really It would be better In most cases If a door or window were opened and the btfeblebee slowed to fly away. Early In spring the bumblebees that are flying around about houses are In search.of places to make their nests. So many are killed, however, that In the long-settled parts of the country the bumblebee Is 'much scarcer than It used to be. They are the only bees that can reach down Into the blossoms of red clover, and their work In honey gathering fertilizes the blossom so that It can produce seed. The bumblebee therefore ought to be encouraged In­ stead of being destroyed. ’ The Modern Milkinc ‘tool. , _ The cow cannot kick over the milk ’ pall where this Invention Is used, says an exchange.

Perfect cocoons which are to be reeled 'off into thread for weaving lire placed in the sun arid steamed to kill the silkwonri inside. Japanese raw silk ranks next to that of France and Italy. A cocoon consists of a single thread from 300 to 425 feet long, and it takes a week to finish. Out of every 100 only about 40 are perfect. The rest, how­ ever, are worked up into coarse floss ■ilk. • The silkworm and the mulberry tree upon which it feeds are natives of East Asia, and silk has been made from time forgotten. Nearly 3,000 years before Christ a Chinese empress is said to have raised silkworms, and from the earliest nges webs of the shimmering substance woven from the cocoons were impor­ tant articles of commerce. The white mulberry upon which silk­ worms feed can be easily raised. In April the leaves appear, and then the silkworm grower takes down his cards of silkworm eggs which he has kept from the preceding summer and hangs them in some airy place. In a few hours the tiny silkworms appear and are fed with chopped mulberry leaves. .They grow for over a month and eat enor­ mous quantities of the big leaves. When ready to spin the worm is 0,000 times as large as when it emerged from the egg and is almost transparent. Michigan Central • rbr Nih'jurh Falla Route.'' GI^AND RAPIDS DIVISION SA'tHVlU.t.

Dun & Co.'# weekly review of trade says: "Because every prospect please# it is the right lime to watch most closely for signs of trouble. But It is not •asy to find them when, the volume of busines* is 63.7 per cent larger than law year, and 73.5 larger than 'in .1892, the beat of all years except the last, or when failures continue the smallest ever known, Pt when the export# of staple# begin to improve materially, or when railroad bus­ iness is by far the beat ever known, or when New York bankers appear In inter­ national operations, listening to a Russian inquiry and undertaking a Mexican loan. Even the industrial disputes incident to the season cause less trouble than usual, the largest of them having been settled by the Tinplate .company. The Bank of England finds It difficult to borrow more from this side and frankly raises its rate, while this country begins to ship fresh crops for which Europe will run into debt. l» striking contrast with offi­ cial and other wheat reports arc the re­ corded receipts at Western ports—8,088,146 bushels in two weeks, against 1.471,­ 739 last year.

New York Youth Ha# u Strange Ex­ perience with Two Robber#. Herman Brunswick Kipper, 17 years old, grandson of Levi L. Brown, presi­ dent of the Windsor Company, paper and doth manufacturers, had an experience with burglars in his grandfather's house in New York., which he is not likely to forget. Tiie only- other person in the place the other nijfht was a maid servant.. Young Kipper awoke soon after 3 o’clock and saw two men. one a smooth-faced white man, the other a masked negro, standing at the open door of his room. Each of the men had a revolver. The burglars compelled him to go through the bouse with them in search of treasures. The robbers then went to the dining room, helped themselves to food and forced the young man to eat a meal with them, chat­ ting with him pleasantly tbe while. Then they marched the lad to the second floor, thrust him into a wardrobe and turned the k'ey. By the time they had reached the street young Kipper had broken out of his prison. He rushed to the window and yelled for the police. The negro was caught after a hard chase and part of the stolen property was recovered. Race for the Pennant.

There is a great opening In Russia for Amerttin capital and for the introduction ot American machinery and methods of doing business.” CATCH WILD MAN IN OKLAHOMA. Apparition that Long FrightenW Housewive# 1# Made Captive. A wild man has been frightening the. people of Coal Creek township, Ok., for two years. Almost daily some women would be frightened by the appearance of the man, wearing no dothing.

The other day officers caught the wild man on Onal creek after a hot fight. He turned out to be Joe Pokorney, a Bohemian. He *ill be tried for insanity.

THE Chief Wilbur of tbe department of vital Statistics of the Secretary of State's of­ fice has prepared some interesting figures from the reports of tbe county clerks of the State in the matter of divorces. The reports show that a total of 1,801 divorces were granted by the Circuit Courts of the State during- the year 1808, and the figores show “a healthy increase." The wife waa the complainant in 1,336 cases and the husband in 472 cases. It is shown that of the whole number of couples 494 were married less than five years, 583 ftyiin five to ten years, 313 from ten to1 fifteen years, 195 from fifteen to twenty' years, and one from forty-five to fifty’ yeare. An indication that outsiders do’ not come to Michigan to secure divorce, it is shown that 1.468 of the marriages’। dissolved were 'contracted in Michigan, 78 In adjacent States, 115 in other States,._ Ill in Canada and 21 in foreign countries. • Of the whole number of couples 890 hadI no children, 412 had -one child, 232-hudI two children, 115 had three children, GO• had four, 34 had five, 17 bad six, 10 hadI seven aud 2 had ten children. The re­‘ ’ turns show that 373 husbands were cruel to their wives and 158 wires were unkind' to their husbands. 245 wives were guilty of dosertiou-and 235 husbands were di­ vorced for this reason.

Botlnew People.of Hitmuu Are Op­ posed to Discontinuance of Present Government.-Bright Buiinew Out­ look Reported by Dun's Review. A cable message stating that Carlos Gania was in Washington for the pur­ pose «f conferring with President McKin­ ley’and others interested in Cuban af­ fairs. and alleging lie had asserted that Cuba's greatest need is the aubstitujiun of civil for military government, has been the subject <>f considerable comment in Havana. On ’Change, where a majority of the large business hounea of Havana are represented, the. feeling is generally that nt present a change is not advisable, as the putting of new men in office would disturb business and the withdrawal rpf the military would mean an increase in brigandage. Among twenty-two promi­ nent merchants of Havana, including Spaniards, Cubans, Americans and other various nationalities, who were asked their views, not a single dissenting voice was raised against the continuation of the military government for at least two or three years, until the country had set­ tled down: s EUROPEAN CROP OUTLOOK POOR. Report* by Foraigu Cer*Mpo»4mtt* at Agricultural D«p*rt*n**L The Agricultural Department's foreign crop report for July state* thkt the com­ mercial authorities estimate the short­ age in the Russian crop of wheat at from 85.006,000 to 120.000.000 bushels as com­ pared with last year. The deficiency is moat serious in the regions most favora­ bly situated for export. The Prussian official report off wheat is a little above “fair,” 2.3 being the technical designa­ tion. ■ The Austrian outlook for wheat and rye Is good in all but one province, that of Bukowlna. Austria, Roumania and Bulgaria are all slightly below the average In wheat, rye and malxe. A French estimate of the wheat crops of Spain and Italy puts it at 34,000.000 bushels below last year, the shortage be­ ing somewhat the heavier in Spain. The wheat crop in France is represented as satisfactory, but th* optimistic estimates made earlier in the season have been scaled down by later crop damage. In Great Britain cable reports of a severe general storm presage considerable dam­ age to a grain crop that otherwise would have ranked as fair. NOTED CHARACTER itf SLAIN.

Tbc Work of Deep*nix* St. Lawraac* Canal* Nearly Completed. The work of deepening the St. Law­ rence canals, which has been going on for many years, is now about completed, and it b announced that by September, at the latest, there will be a channel four­ teen. feet in depth from Lake Ontario to Montreal. Heretofore some of the canals were only nine feet deep, and for this reason the lake.freight steamer* have had to transship at Kingston. With the deeper channel they will bo able to come through, direct from Port Colborne on Lake Erie, the bead of the Welland canal, to Montreal, and there tranaship their cargoes to ocean-going steamships. At Montreal, It is said, the.Government has decided to erect, as a public work, an immense grain elevator. A* the reward for all this capital outlay, running high up into the millions, Canada expects to deflect a large amount of grain from the Erie canal. WAHEHOU8KS IN FLAMES. . MR. ALGER RESIGNS.

President Lincoln had refused to m-cept Sccieiury Chase’s resig­ nation from the cabinet, even after ho knew that Chase was scheming to be a presidential candidate against him. President McKinley said be could not ask Mr. Alger to leave the cabinet be­ cause he had announced his candidacy for United States Senator from Michi­ gan. The members of the cabinet were more open to the argument of the men who wanted Alger out of the way of the success of the administration.They agreed that the Secretary of War mtffit bo sacrificed, and, they expres-ied their views to the President. 4 At this stage in the developments. At­ torney General Grigg* was sent as a mes­ senger to Vice-President Hobart, to ask the Vb’i-Ph’sident to aiivise Alger to re­ sign. Mr. Hobart agreed to undertake the delicate mission of saying to Gen. Alger whnt the Pri>sident and other mem­ bers of the cabinet would not say to him. He telegraphed Secretary .Liger, inviting him to spend a few days with him at his Long Branch cottage. When tho Secre­ tary arrived and the two men had an op­ portunity to talk freely. Mr. Hobart ad­ vised Alger to resigu. saying that the country was against him nnd that he might as well recognize thnt he must be sacrificed. Gcti. Alger asked if the Vice-President spoke only for himself or at the sugges­ tion of others. Mr. Hobart had to tell him the whole story; »that the President wanted bis resignntior. but did not wish to ask for it; that Attorney General Griggs had been the messenger of the President and the cabinet to him, and that he (Hobart) was merely the agent of the.administration in advising Alger to retire. Gen. Alger remarked that he would hand the President his resignation as soon as he returned to Washington. He said he hud supposed thnt he and the President were on terms of friendship justifying frankness regarding this situa­ tion. but all ho desired was to know tfto President’s pleasure. He returned to Washington and handed his resignation to President McKbiley. ALASKAN DISPUTE HOPELESS. Indefinite l’o«tponcmenl of High Joint CpmmiMion Likely. A Washington dispatch asserts that the administration ha* practically aban­ doned hope of a settlement of the Alas­ kan boundary question, nnd the indica­ tions are that the meeting of the joint high commission will In? indefinitely |K>stponed. Definite action on this [taint, however, will nqt Im* taken until after the arrival of Senator Fairbanks. A confer­ ence will then be held by Senator Fair­ banks, Secretory liny. John Foster and John A. Kasson, nnd the boundary ques­ tion discussed at length. Thc best the authorities hope for'now is that there will bo no clash in the remnining few weeks of the mining season. The situation is grave, with the Ameri­ can miners on one side in a state of irri­ tation and the Canadian constabulary on tlie other in n very aggressive mood.' Should the dash come it will not be through the fault of this Government. Everything has been done to prevent ac­ tion which will cause bloodshed. New* of Minor Note. At the State Department It was denied that any official Information had beenyeceived of the intention of the Canadian Government to send mounted police to. the Porcupine region in Alaska. The Canadians would not, of course, officially notify this Government of their intention In the matter, but if the policemen could bare been sent without publicity there is no doubt they would have gone td the dis­ puted region. The intimation received was considered as a threat, and this Gov­ ernment promptly said troops would 'be sent to Pyramid harbor, which undoubt­ edly will cause the Canadians to aban­ don their intention ot ordering armed men into the disputed territory, and force a dental from both governments. There is considerable confusion as ta the loca­ tion of the Porcupine region; and the general impression is that it is in the vi­ cinity of the Porcupine river, near the arctie circle, 1,500 miles from T.yun canal. This is erroneous, for the Porcu­ pine region ip located south of the Klaheena river, cast of the Porcupine creek nnd west of Kiuckwan, au Indian village a few miles from the Lynn canal. The extreme western point of the Porcupine region Is only twelve miles from Lynn canal. This region is rich in gold, and 2,000 American miners have located there. The territory is claimed by and is in the poss4*ssion of this Government, which does not propose to turn it over to the Canadians. It has been found advisable, on account of information received by the Washing­ ton authority, to arm Government transports use* in the carrying of troops to the Philippines. These ships have not carried any means of defense and are at the mercy of the smallest craft equipped with one rapid-fire gun. The tatter would be able to sink the largest of the transports, which is nothing but a ship­ load of people, whose weapons would’ avail nothing In an attack at sea. The authorities decline to confirm the rumor ghat the War Department has had ad­ vices of u plan of the Filipinos to estab­ lish a small navy for depredation pur­ poses, as a menus of getting material* ot war lauded at convenient ports, uud ds a system of attack upon onr army trans­ ports. They admit the transports are to be armed at once, and tlie equipment will be furnished with such promptness that the navy will be called upon to supply the giins and ammunition. It is planned to place one or two six-pounders on each transport, nnd these will serve to resist the attack of anything the Filipinos are likely to bring against the ships. Commissioner Ernns has been vindi­ cated of the charges made against him by the investigation of his bureau by the pension committee of the Grand Army. Everything in the iwiture of a complaint has been inquired into and tlie commit­ tee found that the commissioner bad not only executed the laws relating to his bureau, but had Wn liberal in doing so. While the committee is entirely satisfied with the work of the commissioner, it makes no concealment of the fact that it will endeavor to have the Secretary of the Interior change some of his rulings and amend the rules of practice. All the diplomats are quietly laughing at the State Department and. a ludicrous blunder it made. Ambassador Tower at St. Petersburg notified the department of the death of the Grand Duke George by cable, and it devolved upon the State Department to send a reply in the name of the President of tho United States. This was done, and a cable to “His Im­ perial Highness Alexander III.," instead of Z9k-holas II.. tho reigning sovereign of all the Russias. Alexander III., ns every schoolboy knows, hns been dead several years, and how the State Department came to make such a blunder is beyond the ken of ordinary mortals. President McKinley hns decided to postpone his Western trip until the early part of October, unless Mrs. McKinley's health permits him to leave earlier. The President hns made a [stsitive engage­ ment to visit Chicago to attend the cere­ monies attending the corner stone laying of the public building, which will take place Oct. 9. As his Western trip is postponed until full he will simply extend bis journey from Chicago to St. Paul and Minneapolis, where he will welcome the returning vohinteaenr. If be should be able to leave for the West in August, he might go to the coast, but there is little likelihood he will start during the heat of the summer. An old soldier whose patriotism has not dimmed with age wants to help reim­ burse Uncle Sam for the $20,000,600 paid to Spain on account of the Philippines. He draws a pension of $72 a month and desires to contribute 25 per cent of it forlhat purpose. Secretary Gage receiv­ ed a letter from the old soluier in which was enclosed g check for 25 per cent of his last quarter's pension. The check, was returned to the soldier with a per­ sonal letter of thanks from the Sevtetaryof the Treasury.

The Italian bees swarm more than the native black bees, trad still other varieties are more persistent In this respect.

A writer in Vick’s Monthly says: I have been using potash, or concen­ trated lye, in a new way lately—at least new to me. I have been using it as an Insecticide and have found it most effective, especially for bouse paints. I use the pulverized sort, put up In small tin boxes. I dissolve two tablespoonfuls of this In three gallons of water and spray the plants thor: oughly with the solution. I have never known It to Injure even the most delicate plants, and for- the greater number it could be used much stronger. For the mealy bug, aphis, red spider and’almost all Insects infesting plants It is sure death. The use of the potash also keeps the leaves bright and clean, and Is useful to remove the black scum which sometimes gathers on the leaves of greenhouse plants. It also acts as a fertilizer, making the plants more vigorous and floriferous. As a spray or wash for fruit trees It Is of great value. Trees thoroughly sprayed with a strong solution of potash4 applied before the leaves start, will not be troubled with the San Jose scale. -Killed While C leaniM* a Gon. Two years ago Edward 8.

CHIN AMEN ARE CANNIBALS. SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. Brief Retumenf the Opinions Recent­ ly Handed Down. Fanny E. Doxtater secured a verdict for damages ngainst the Chicago and West Michigan Railroad Co. because she had been deprived of the right to give her husband a Christian burial. Dox­ tater was run over by a train. Both legs were amputated, the fragments being burned at the direction of the company's surgeon, as was the custom nt the hos­ pital. The theory of the plaintiff is that when the railroad company lifted Dox­ tater from the ground, it topk upon its shoulders a duty, which was to care for him while he lived and at his^death de­ liver his remains, and the wjxole of them, over to his widow for burial. The court holds that the physician in charge had no knowledge as to the disposition of the amputated parts and was not at fault in assuming and guarding against an unwar­ ranted disposition of them, and orders a new trial. A large parcel of land in Houghton County came into the pouesaim- of Frank E. Church et al../5h tax titles George Nestor asked to hare the sale set aside because the amount of taxes for which the land was sold was greatly out of proportion to the value of the land.

The child was the daughter of a Mex­ ican section foreman. The affair has incehsed the Mexicans against the Chinese, and the celestials are' flocking into the city for protection.

All are allie* of th* two factions, and the direct cause of the present Is as­ signed to the fact that the Griffins took the side of the Whites, and that the Philpots, the strongest faction in the mountains, n u m b e r I mg 750 votes, sided with the Bakers. “Bob” Philpot was arrest­ ed one morning re­ cently and was shot while giving a bond. A general fusillade followed, in' which five men were killed, and the sixth, Rich­ ard Loren,- was found three miles from town with his head severed from his body. c * Deputies are being hurried from all over the State into Clay County and more shooting i« expected. The-dead on the White side are Hugh Griffin, James Griffin and Edward Fisher. The Baker ollies dead are Robert Philpot, Aaron Morris and Richard Loven’. Besides the dead several members of both factions are seriously wounded.

If the trouble Is not soon straightened out it looks as If Clay County would,-before long, be the Washlagton special: The protest received at Washington by cable via Hong Kong, from .newspaper correspondent* in Manila against the cen­ sorship established by Gen. Otis hia caused a profound sensation in Govern­ ment circles. The protest acts forth that new* has been suppressed and that the newspaper men have been compelled "to participate In misrepresentation" by the action of the censor in "excising or-altering nncontroverted statements of fact." The protest is signed by John P. Dunning. Robert M. Collins and L. Jones of the Associated , Press; E. S. Keene of the Scripps-McRae Association, Oscar K. Daria and P. G. McDonnell of the New York Sun. John F. Baas and Will Dinwlddie of the New York Herald, John T. McCutcheon and Harry Armstrong of the Chicago Record, and Richard ,H. Little of the Chicago Trioone. That the telegraphic reports of Gen. Otis were censored at the War Depart­ ment was well known, but the impression has been that newspaper correspondents were permitted to send about what they wanted to. provided they avoided men­ tioning future military movements. The disclosures of the extent to which Gen. Otis has deprived the country of proper ififormntion have confirmed a quiet belief.thnt the gemeral in command was afraid to have the truth known, and it is believed his official dispatches have been distorted to conceal his mistakes in the belief that the censorship would pre­ vent, the press correspondents from send­ ing the facts. It has been n general maxim among army men that newspaper correspondents ore privileged to give actual results of battles in their own language, the censor­ ship being restricted to the prevention of tlie news of future military movements from reaching the enemy. ■ Otis hopes ihe New*.

Otis made a.mis­ take in nut getting out to the firing line now and then, but as the insurgents were north, south and east of Manila it was supposed thnt he felt he could best direct operations from the city.

The clanging of a bell breaks upon the air—clang! dang! clang! Then the loud shouting of distant voices; and anon the booming of cannon. * The old man starts to his feet, and raises his ■hands towards heaven. He was a handsome man, tall and splen­ didly formed, and the fire that flashed* In bls dark eyes was of the very brightest and warmest. But he could not stahd Jong With a deep sigh he sank back into his chair and pressed his hand upon his •ide. where n sharp pain had seised him. “O, my />ld compatriots will hear that -sound, and gird themselves anew for the tgiorious struggle, while I—while I— O, Is there fio balm, in Gilead for me?

Must I die just as the nation of1 my love Is born!—God’s will be done!” He bowed his head upon his hand, and ras The .flush of the great excitement left ibis face, he became fearfully pale and •wan. He had suffered deeply and long, and was much worn. By aud by he reached out and took a parchment roll from the taMe, that had lain by the side -of the sword. As he opened it and looked upon the magic page, a tear stole from his •eye. It was a commission from the Con­ tinental Congress, ranking him Gerald 'Seaton, n major general in the American army. • . While be held the roll in his hand the -door of the apartment was opened, and a woman entered. She was a stout, healthy looking female, of middle age, plainly dressed, and rather plain of face, though frank and genial, aud bearing the stamp of honest truth in every lineament. She was Patience Angell, from Vermont, and was the servant of the household— -or. more properly speaking, she was the ^housekeeper. “Have you been out. PatienceT' asked •Gen. Seaton, the flush coming back to his face, and the light to his eyes, at sight of his faithful servant “Yes, sir," replied the woman, drawing herself up proudly. "I’ve been to the ■'State House, general, and I’ve beard the bell; and I’ve heard the men shout. My •eyes’ don’t you feel the air better to ;breathe? Ah! they’ve done it, general, 'ffhey’ve done it!" “Thank God! O, they could not help doing it. But. where is Robert?” “He will be here soon, sir; never fear. 1 saw him going into the State House. He will bring you all the particulars. But the grand thing is done, general. There -ean’t be many particulars beyond that.” “Aye, Patience, but how was it done? Was it done grudgingly? Was it done in fear and trembling? Were there dissent­ lug voices and votes?*’. "No! no!" cried the woman, smiting her broad palms together. “I learned all about that. Every State was represent­ ed. and the vote was unsnimpus! O. why wasn’t Vermont entitled to vote? ■She’s as big as New Hampshire." » “But she's not a State yet. Patience, though I think she will be the first to claim admission under the new compact." "Aye," exclaimed the woman, with en­ thusiasm, “you let Ethan Allen alone for that. When be knocks at the door, be •cure he'll come in.” "In the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress," suggested ■Seaton, laughing. “As he did at Ticonderoga.” added Pa-tieuce, joining in the laugh. And then. >aa she had no more information to give, ■•he did what she could to make her mas­ ter comfortable, after which she went to look to other affairs of the household. Half an hour afterwards Robert Sea­ ton entered the presence of his father, ■whom he found impatiently awaiting him. **O, my boy, 1 am glad you have come. You have been to the State Hoose?*’ "And did you see and apeak with any of the representatives?” ‘‘Yes. The son of Gen. Seaton found ready access. 1 spoke with John Hnn«ock of Massachusetts and with Richard ’Henry Lee and Thomas Jefferson of Vir“Good men -whole wide true, my boy.

I doubt if he knows admits that i*e never saw and was attracted to me I resembled some “And that name?*’ . “He bade me announce him as 'Old Ste­ phen Wilson.' ” “Stephen Wilson!” repeated Seaton, with a start.' He was deeply moved, as was to be plainly seen, but he restrained himself. He had experienced too much of the wild turmoil of life to be overcome in an emergency, though the blow might be startling. . “How old is this man?" he asked. “He is as old as you are, father, if not older.” “And how iooka he?" "Tali and strong; heavily framed; with dark features, and a pair of large, very black, and protruding eyes.” “Let me . see him. Robert. Stop, "my son. I would see this man alone. You will show him to my door, and then leave him to me, and see that no one. not even Patience, comes to disturb us. I will ring if I want you.” Robert went, out and found StephenWilson where he hsd found him, in the kitchen with Patience. ■ "My father will see you, sir. You will see for yourself that he is very weak, and I trust you will not tarry longer than.la necessary." . . “My stay shall be as brief as your fathRobert conducted him to the door of the general’s apartment and bade him enter; and when he had gone in, the routh re­ turned to the kitchen to answer the many questions which Patience had to ask. It was between three and four o'clock when ^tephen Wilson entered the room where sat Gerald Seaton. "He is making a long stop," said the housekeeper, as the clock struck four. Shortly after this a messenger from the State-House called on private business, and Robert went out -with him, and was absent half an hour. When he returned home he found Patience just come from his father's room. “Has the man gone?" he asked. “No. I answered your father’s bell, and was directed to bring in wine and biscuit." “My faith! Then the man must have business of importance.” "I should say so, Robert; and I.should judge that it was of importance to your father. His eyes were bright, his face was flushed, and his voice had something of the old ring in It. There were papers on the table, and both of thenf seemed to hare been writing." The clock struck five, and still the strange old man remained closeted with Gerald Seaton. At six o’clock Robert and Patience sat down ’to their supper, and it was not until half an hour later that Stephen Wilson came out from the conference. His head was bowed, and traces of tears were upon his checks. He had taken his hat, and would have depart­ ed without speaking had not Robert inter­ posed. ‘'Will you not take refreshment before "I broke bread with your father, sir, and require no more. I thank you for your kindness." “You have known ray father before*/” “Yes, I have known him. He will tell you that you did right iu bringing me hither. We may meet again, and until then may God preserve and bless you." And with this the old man put on his hjt and departed. Robert found his father iu -hl* easy chair, with his head bent upon bis hands. The papers of which Patience had spok­ en were not in sight, aud even the writ­ ing materials had been put away. "You had n long conference with the stranger, my fattier." The old man looked up, aud motioned his son to a seat. “I found him not a stranger, Robert. He is one whom I knew in my younger days., I will tell you of him to-morrow. Do not ask me now. I must have time for reflection-'bcfore. I tell to you the story. Will you pass me the wine?" The general filled his glass, and as be sipped be asked his son to tell him of the doings st the State House. This was a grand and inspiring theme for the youthful patriot, and he easily put aside his curiosity while he told the wondrous story of the Declaration. ••And," he added, when he tsdjold all h'e had to tel! of the doings erf/the deyr "a messenger has been here from Presi­ dent Hancock. Gen. Washington has sent on from New -York to know if you will be able to command a division in the com­ ing campaign. He fears dissensions among his generals. This is private, of course, and only those to whom the illus­ trious commander-in-chief was forced to communicate the possibilities of the hour are aware of it. With Gates and Schuy­ ler and Arnold, there maj be trouble. Old Putnam is above any petty animosity that enn interfere with the patriot's duty, and Washington wants you^my dear father, to stand by that veteran's side." “God bless our Washington! and God bless Israel Putnam!” uttered Gerald Seaton, devoutly. *But," fee added, after a pause, "I shall never see them again. They have all been true friends of mine thus far, but I know not how long I might count them so. if I were to be par­ ticularly favored, and placed in rank above them. Putnam I should not fear. Schuyler is a true-hearted man; but he has • enemies. He will be worried, and he will worry others. Gates is ambitious and overbearing. He will give trouble to somebody. Arnold is as brave as man can be: but he lacks moral force. He can be a good friend, und a dangerous enemy.” “What do you think of Gen. LeeF ask­ ed Robert. A cloud pasted over the old man’s face. “I know Charles Lee," he said, thoughtfully, “and I knew his father. They were both English officers. Charles is not the man for the place he holds. He does not love America to much as he hates England. He could not sacrifice self for the good of our cons try. I must see Hancock and Adams to-morrow. I "Did you not learn bis name?"

About twenty . years ago there lived a big, brawny, blitheaome joum fellow in on* of the small town* which adjoin St. Louis. He wo* of merry mi^n, witty of speech, aud a great favorite with everybody, young and old. No husking bee or apple paring waa deemed a anccesa if he did not appear. Mora than one village belle, by indication* of the eye, if not of the tongue, had given him to understand that she would' have ho serious objections to joining her lot with his own. But the young man was nice to everybody, with perhaps a slight prejudice in farorof in­ conspicuous and plain-looking young wom­ en, who Were generally neglected. Ha showed not the slightest symptoms of fall­ ing iu love, however. His big kind heart just t*k>k in all the forlorn one*. He gave them the best time that he could. . One fall there can?' to this little town a small, plain-featured little gid, whom the school trustees bad engaged to teach in a white-painted country schoolhouse abeut three miles from the village. She was the daughter of a minister and had' had abso­ lutely no experience in school-teaching. They took her to board at the young man'* home. She was homesick and- forlorn when site came and dincouruged *1 trying to mak* the big boy* behave after she began her lal>ors. She walked1 every morning and night the three mile* to and from school until the worry of teac'.ing and the unusual amount of exercise brought about a *erious illnexa. At length came long week* when she was too feeble to be moved and too discouraged to care whether she lived or died. Then the big-hearted young man showed how tender and how kind* he could be. He fed cracked ice to her when her mouth parched with fever. He brought her the earliest spring violet* from the field*. He rat by her and read aloud to her from the magazines. He lifted her into the old-fashioned chaise for her first venture out of door* one balmy spring morning, and before the fat old sor­ rel drew them slowly back to the lbw, ram­ bling frame house he had1 asked her to marry him and she had timidly consented. Well, they were married, and now that th* line* on hi* face have cut their way in much deeper than on the April morning twenty year* ago, and there is gray about hi* tem­ ple*; now, though the little woman is plain­ er in feature and even less tasteful in dress than she was then, there is no wedded pair of whom people would be M> apt to ray: "They lived happily ever afterward." That showed that the dear public has so power to pierce through externals, und that, as a matter ot fact, people really kdow noth­ ing about it. For several year* they lived in absolute happioeu on her part, and con­ tentment, at least, on his. Children two and three were born to them. The man made stride* in his profession, devoted himself to it, and finally removed to St. Louis, th* larger field for an ambitious law-worker, built a home on what i» now one of th* boulevards, and became a city gentleman io all respect*. He was *ucc<*Mfu] from a business point of view. Hi* children were growing, were Well and*happy, and evinced'decided tenden­ cies to turn out wither fools nor repro­ bate*.

The chief -art in gardening consists In dot allowing our plants tp have their own willful way, but to make them behave as we want them to. Vines generally make-desperate attempts to get to the top of a bush or tree that they twine around, and. the lower por­ tion la nothing but a aeries of naked sterna When' we set them to trellises we want This proceeding reversed. We desire as many branches dose to tbe ground as at the extreme upper, portion of Ike pole or frame on which they are supported. The educated gardener un­ derstands how to do this. The grower of grapes under glass has to know how to do It, as otherwise he would have grapes In the apex of tbe roof and no­ where else. He applies the same prin­ ciple to the growth nf flowering vines out of doors as to bls grapes under glass, or to the grapes In tbe outdoor garden, for that matter, with equal re­ sults. The art Is very simple. It Is simply to pinch out the apex of the strong growing shoots -that want to get up still higher, and leave tbe struggling shoots at the base alone. The growth force,-suddenly checked by the topping of the upper shoots, has to be expended somewhere, just as tbe sudden stop-, page of water being forced through a pipe may burst that pipe. It Is diverted to the lower and weaker shoots, which become, before the season is over, as strong as the upper ones. In the hands of a good gardener a grapevine trellis will have fruit over every part of Its surface—and have as fine fruits at the apex as at tbe base. But how rarely do we see these mas­ ters of tbe art; and how simple the art Is, after all.—Meehan’s Monthly. med bluegrass; A, In the cut.

It is also known now that Gen. Torres was not kllUd by the Indians tn battle, as at first reported, but only wounded. When the treaty of May, 1897, wan signed tbe Government agreed to provide each Yaqui with a portion of land and supply them with corn until their farms were under cultivation. Tbe Indians were also allowed to retain their anna. Since that time tbe Government baa fed the Indians, but they refused to work their farms, and as a consequence the supplies were stopped. This waa the primary motive for the present war. Capt. Moldanado, who as chief totabiate had led the Yaqui forces, bad sworn allegiance to the Government and had been made r captain under Gen. Torres. With an escort he was sent to confer with the Indians. The natives deceived him. On the 21st Moldanado was de­ coyed into the woods by his tribeemen and there surprised und attacked by a large number of th? Yaqui. His escort was routed and^the captain waa murder­ ed by the very men he formerly com­ manded. On the same day the Indiana attacked a detachment of the Twelfth battalion of infantry tn the city af Bacum, but were repulsed. . Gen. Torre* immediately led a column of soldiers Into the district to punish tbe warriors. After a forced march he came up with the Indians, and tbe battle com­ menced. The Indians were routed and driven Into the woods, leaving forty dead on tbe field, .while there were many wounded. Tbe Government lost one kill­ ed and had ten wounded. Gen. Torres followed them up, and in the next en­ gagement killed forty-three, among them four chiefs, Jopo, Skumavanca, Fierros and Dionisco. ■ ■ Philippine islands. Filipino women never wear hats.

The States Ithat have suffered the most are Minneso­ ta, South Dakota. Iowa and Nebraska. In Iowa Monday night a terrific storm of drenching rain, accompanied by a furi­ ous and devastating wind, mowed down the grain, and where the damage did not •ibuunt to a total loss it left the fields in such condition that the farmers in many •ections have practically given up hope of saving half of the crop they planned on. The storm took on frigidity and the accompanying element of disaster ns it apread fcver Minnesota and South Da­ kota. The rain was turned to shan*-' edged hall hr many places and to sleet that cut the grain with almost as evil results in others. ’ "" No accurate figures on the total damage can be made, but it hi conservative enough to say that fully half a million acres of richly fruited crops have been leveled by the storm. Not only one ce­ real, but all of the various kinds that are particularly, easy prey to wind and hail met injury. Corn was crushed or torn up altogether; unharvested wheat was flattened, and wide strips of country cut down tie if by a mighty, all-powerful clipper of an angry god. Dispatches indicate that the storm was central in Iowa, where It seemed to gath­ er and to leap along on its northerly and westerly course. Not only damage to crops is reported, but many farmors have the added loss of barns and sheds that were overturned or unroofed by the furioui gusts of-wind. Northwestern Iowa was among the first sections visited by the gale. Plymouth nnd O’Brien coun­ ties tell of the most serious loss there. Hail fell in pelting showers and. the only comfort the farmers* got from the storm was the subsequent rain, which fell in torrents, over one and one-half Inches of water being precipitated in Sioux City. From Marshalltown, Iowa, is wired in a story of exceptional damage. Thou­ sands of dollars' damage was done to crops by the wind. Com was injured here ga much as grain, and many farm build­ ings were also blown down and windmills of tbe rich men bare been turned upside down.

They proceeded to demonstrate that the aaseaijors who had turned In ■woyu statements were equally deficient as guessera. and raises ranging ail the way from 10 to.3,000 gjr cent tell the story in convincing figures. • In point of aggregate, of increase tbe hardest blow" was- dealt to Marshall Field, who must pay personal property taxes on a full value of $2,500,000, in­ stead of the $1,250,000 at which the asaossors had rated him. This means that the dry goods merchant's assessed valua­ tion for 18141 is $500'000. as against $21,­ 000 last year. .

SAMOA UNDER A NEW RULE. The tripartite commission, representing the United States, Great Britain and Germany, has made pnblic the various recommendations which they suggest re­ garding thp new form of government most suitable for Samoa, The recom­ mendations are based upon the best fea­ tures of the British treaty, and’ include principal features of the treaty as amend­ ed and modified by-the commission. The form of government suggested is a de­ parture from that which has prevailed heretofore, and does away with the tri­ partite administration. It is -proposed to do away with the triangular form of between government and establish a unity by ths and the appointment of a single administratoi chosen by a disinterested power. This official will be assisted by a coun­ cil composed' of delegates representing the United States, Great- Britain' And Germany. The chief official will be em­ powered with a measure of authority which will enable him to end any dis­ putes between the three powers. Should they fail to agree upon the administrator, the King'of Sweden and Norway will appoint him. The commissioners fix the salary of tbe new official at Jd.OOO a year, and ht will execute all laws in force in the Samoan Islands. He will possess pardoning power, and. with consent of a legislative committee of three, may make municipal appointments. The report places the salary of the chief justice of the Supreme Court at $5,­ 000 a jeur. nnd it emphasises the neces­ sity of abolishing kingship and recom­ mends tbe establishment of districts in the islands, each under supervision of a native chief. Copies of the report of the commissioners have been sent to each of the three great powers for approval the agreement upon which the first strike was settled. The men claim the com­ pany did so by refusing to make the non­ union men retained in their employ live up to the same rules to which the union men were subjected, thus putting the union men at a disadvantage in the mat­ ter of runs. The company claims the men broke the agreement by failing to be loyal to the company and the non-union employes. WHERE OUR FLEET IS KEPT.

But the specialist in the detection of drimc, Sheflock Holmes, is a man who reads clues, as the Indian reads a trail. Every step he takes is a step to success. It’s much the same way in the detec­ tion of disease. While the amateur is blundering along over misleading symp­ toms, the specialist goes right to the real cause and puts an arresting hand upon the disease. It is in such a way that Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting phyaician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., succeeds in hunting out and arresting diseases, where tbe leas experienced practitioners fail. More than thirty years of soecial study and experience have enabled Dr. "Pierce to read symptoms as easily and as truly as the Indian reads a trail which is without a hint for a less acute vision than his.

Mich, July 18,18W. Dear Veka: . We-received your card iu due time, but ns I.was sick it was not possible for us to get to Nashville in lime to attend the funeral. ' Poor Clair, lie was scarcely granted a taste of the pleasures of life, hut we do not believe that the sacrifice of his life’s tleisures has been to uo avail. When I first new him he whs ns bright and manly a baby boy as any fond parent could wish for. he-was bounding with healthful vigor. You never knew vour brother, sickness drew a hideous veil over him, which be was ever doomed to U%e under, looking through the meshea of disease he could not see clearly, be could act understand aright, lie could not fulfill the promises of the babe, but we who knew him will surely re­ member him as the bright promising baby boy Clair, and we trust that neuowstands freed from tlie veil, in rich inheritance that filly repays him. for his weary years of cross-bearing here. No. his life was not a failure, his sufferings have not been lost upon humanity, mauy a hardened heart has been warmed and softened by sympa­ thy for him, many a cross-bearer has taxon up’ his cross more gracefully, and a seed of thankfulness has taken root and beautified that soul. A little beauty is much on a barren waste. Life is a school wherein to mould character, seels lodged directly to the advancement of character cannot be counted lost, we may not recognise their fruit, but we know they are fruitful, and a gentle thought must beget its like. Y’our father, your •mother and yourself must have received good from his sufferings, you must have a broader understanding with which to sympathize with tlie trials of others, you must have gained some­ thing of fortitude, to bear up against mis­ fortunes. you must have accustomed your wills to bow in submission. A soul broad­ ened with sympathy, firmer through forti­ tude. rounded by the grace of submission to a higher power must have gained in ac­ ceptability with God. must be of more value to humanity, and tlie possessor must feel some satisfaction from liis broader un­ derstanding. Clair’s sickness has been tlie cause of much physical suffering and a great nervous strain upon your father and mother. They liave long mourned the loss of their son's true self, but we. as mothers, must know that beyond these trials, a higher, more Under cord lias con­ stantly vibrated with more cruel pangs as they watched their little son. lost to his true self, suffering blindly along with his cross. Surely we must all be .thankful that his mission is completed. What a glorious awakening it will be for us all, when the mists of this transient life are cleared away and we stand un trammeled by the weakness of tbe flesh, but possessed of the strength of character gained through conflict with it. Whether we may have trials awaiting us. or whether our time here is nearly run. we do not know, but a cliristian's confldbnre and hope will surely make tbe way brighter and assist In beau­ tifying the soul. We address this letter to yon, Vera, but we mean it for your father and mother as well, if you will please baud it to them that they may be assured of our* sym­ pathy. Affectionately, R.

There Is widespread belief . among farmers that while stable manure in­ creases fertility the application of min­ eral commercial fertilisers tends to.more rapidly exhaust it Really, how­ ever, to the extent that manure Ln any form makes bigger crops than what it supplies plant food for, It tends to ex­ haustion. Applying nothing but stable manure, which is usually deficient Is phosphate and potash, takes those min erals out of the soil faster than they would be drawn .were the manure not used. The loss of the mineral ’Hemeats is not bo easily seen aa tbe waste of vegetable matter In the soil where only tbe commercial mineral fertilizers are used. Besides, the min­ eral manure is generally sold in a form to be quickly, taken up by crops. It Is Impossible to make stable manure so soluble that some of Its elements will not be left In tbe soli for future crops. crops. Kerosene Emnlilon. To make the emulsion, dissolve one half pound of hard soap In one gallon of soft water, and while still boiling hot remove from the fire and add two gallons of kerosene. Btlr the mixture violently by driving through a force pump back into the vessel until it becom.es a creamy maas that will not separate. The emulsion Is then ready to be diluted with water and applied. For the common scale Insects and hard­ bodied Insects like the chinch bug, use one part of the emulsion to eight or ten parts of water. For soft-bodled Insects like plant lice, use one part of emul­ sion to fifteen or twenty parts of water. As the emulsion kills by contact tbe application should be very ' thor­ ough.

MICHIGAN MATTERS. WHAT WAS DONE AT THE HAGUE CONFERENCE. The Foundation of an Arbitration Plan the Only important Achieve* meat—No Specific Propeaition Look­ ing to Dlearmameat Adopted! The Czar’s international peace confer­ ence at The Hague haa concluded its work. A fair estimate of what haa been accomplished cannot be made, until the propositions agreed to have been pub­ lished in full. But no proposition look­ ing to the disarmament of nations was adopted. The signatory powers agreed to use all their effort* to insure a peace­ ful solution in international differences, but It was provided that the good offices or mediation of a third power shall ex­ clusively have tbe bearing of good .coun­ sel without compulsory force. Offer* of mediation in any given case shall not cause the suspension of war preparation* ot the interruption of war. Special forms of znediatiotTare recommended, but only recommended. Differences which may be made the object of local injury, and which. Jo not involve the honor or vital interests of tbe powers concerned, arc to be submitted to international com­ mittees of inquiry, but the report* of these committees are not to have the character of an arbitration award, but are leave the powers concerned at lib­ erty to act aa they feel best. Arbitration I* acknowledged to'be the most efficient and most equitable mode of settling differences, and the signatory powers agree to organize a permanent court of arbitration accessible at all times. It is optional with any power whether it shall take any particular case before the arbitration court or not. Artitfe 27 declares: “The signatory powers consider it.their duty, whenever an acute conflict threatening to peace occurs be­ tween any of them,, to recall to the lat­ ter that the arbitration court is open to them.” The American delegates took exception to this article, and insisted that the language be so modified that the United States may in no case be obliged to interfere in European affairs, or Eu­ rope in American disputes. Declarations were adopted prohibiting the use of as­ phyxiating projectile* or expanding bul­ lets, which Great Britain and the Unit­ ed States declined to accept. Nothing has been accomplished as to disarmament, and little more than a dec­ laration favorable to the principle of ar­ bitration has been accepted by all the powers. The questions that relate to a nation's honor have not been legislated upon; and nearly all questions that pre> ripltate war do relate to a nation’s hon­ or. Even if a court of arbitration is es­ tablished on the plan marked out, uo na­ tion is bound to accept tlip plan. Cer­ tainly in tbe United States tbe scheme will have to be approved by the Senate. The proposal to declare the inviolability of private property during war on land and sea, and the proposal regulating the question of tbe bombardment of ports, town* and villages by naval forces, were referred to future conferences. The United States has especial cause for gratification and pride at the outcome of the proceedings at The Hague. Ar­ bitration is a policy that this nation more than any other has been instrumental In inducing the world to adopt. Ln its principles and main provisions, though not in details,‘the plan agreed upon at The Hague is in accord with the proposi­ tions submitted fay the Americans, which called for a permanent tribunal, with voluntary arbitration, the award to be morally binding upon both parties after they have joined in an application for ar­ bitration. In the dominating force of its ideas the United States has won recog­ nition as a world power in the best sense of that term. Sew LIGHT ON A TRAGEDY. ; i j ! ! ; I I । : ; ' ' Woman Supposed to Have Killed Her- , aelf Evidently Was Murdered. Near Libertyville, Ill., the body of Mrs. Bertha Krueger, who was supposed to hare killed her mother on July 1G and then committed sui­ cide, was the other day exhumed and a bullet wound found nt the base of the brain, show­ ing that she was murdered and did not commit suicide. Her busband was arrested on tbe OEorok krueoer. charge of murder and taken to the county jail at Wauke­ gan to await the action Of tbe grand jury. On July 16 Krueger, bleeding from wounds, told his neighbors hls wife had shot and killed her and then shot him. At Cue coroner's in­ quest he swore his wife bad met. him at the door and shut him in the arm as he was about to enter the house. Undertakera discovered the second bullet hole in the back of tbe head, and it was nt Coroner Knight's and State's Attornej the laxly wa* exhumed.

Four men were killed and seven others ware Injured.

Strange Manner in Which • Separ­ ated Conple Were Rennlted. After a separation of six years, Mrs. Ethel Fredler of Louisville found her hus­ band recently through' the agency of a tombstone. About seven year* ago Miss Ethel Treaner of fit. Louin, daughter of E. T. Treaner, fell In love with Charles Fred­ ler. The young^ man was making only a small salary, and for this reason the parent* of the girl objected to the match. A secret marriage resulted. Afterward Fredler told the firm of bls secret, with the result that his compensation was suf­ ficiently increased for the couple to in­ form their parents of their matrimonial venture. When the panic came tbe firm in which Fredler was employed assigned. Fredler suddenly left St. Louis, leaving a note to his wife to the effect that he would hot return until he hnd-acquired wealth. A few weeks ago Mrs. Fredler and her mother were driving in Louisville when they passed a dray containing a tomb­ stone bearing an inscription with the date of the birth and death of Charles Fred­ ler. They learned that the stone wa* to be sent to St. Louis, and found out the name of the co^ignee. Taking the next train for St. Louis, they visited the store, where Mr*. Fredler was confronted by her husband FAILED TO RETAKE CALAMBA. Filipino* Repulsed by American*,Who Lo*e One Killed. The Filipino insurgents Sunday made an attempt to recapture Calamba, which was taken by the American* on Wednes­ day. A force of 2,400 rebels attacked the town simtfltaneously on the north and south. In repulsing the attack the Americans did not even require all their force. Two companies of the Twentyfirst regular*, some cavalry and one gun were sufficient to repulse the attack on the north, while 400 men from the Wash­ ington Volunteers drove the enemy back on the south. The American loss was one killed and seven -wounded. Though the late Robert Ingersoll had many oratorical triumphs he is charged with at least one disastrous failure. It occurred at an evening meeting of the delegates to the Republican National con­ vention in 1888. Before the convention met there had been much favorable men­ tion of tbe name of Walter Q. Gresham a* a candidate. Indiana had, however. Instructed for Harrikbn. Ingersoll fav­ ored Gresham and be took the first op­ portunity to make a speech in his favor. The delegates who sat and listened to the famous orator had no idea what bls ob­ ject was. They heard him describe in eloquent terms the qualities to be de­ sired in a candidate. They were spell­ bound as be glorified the history of the party. Finally, he came to the climax. As he named Walter Q. Gresham a chill seemed to fall on the audience. Inger­ soll stood with a smile on his face to watch the effect of his words. Gradu­ ally it faded away. The entire Indiana delegation got up and left the bouse in a body. There was no applause. In some way the great orator had entirely spoiled tbe chances of his favorite. Final­ ly be put on his hat and went out, a thoroughly disappointed man. It seems a little strange that yellow fever should make it* appearance at Hampton. Vt, while no cases are report­ ed from the Gulf State*. Once during the '50* Norfolk and Portsmouth were visited severely by yellow feVer, both place* being then in filthy condition. Since then Virginia has been free from the disease. It is not agreeable to learn that in spite of all the precautions which have been taken yellow fever ha* found its way into this country. But it is much better the disease should break out at a place like Hampton, off tbe highways of trade, than In New Orleans or Charles­ ton. In the great amount of matter which has been printed in regard to tbe trans­ Siberian railroad which Russia is build­ ing. the fact has been almost overlooked that *he is also constructing one of the greatest ship canal* in the world.

In a band, hp a disapproving eyeupon his advertising expenditure and begins to figure out how he may cut down the vital force of his.business: he wants his engineto get there, only be doesn’t want to UMthalf the steam. There is no bus­ iness man anywhere who has not hud this temphtation to combat. He can­ not convince himself that advertising done in dull times is. like bread cast upon the water,—that it will surely come back. Advertising is the breath of life to business. When the' money doesn’t come in fast, when trade g»?ts weak aud weary, it isn't going to get any stronger If you cut off the life­ giving supply. Tt requires nerve to spend money for advertising when there is none coming in, but it is thp only thing to do. Kight advertising is never an expense; it is always an investment. And even poor advertis­ ing is better than none al all. People are like irtwep,—they go where they are led. They follow the most attrac­ tive bait, and the dealer who adver­ tises’most vigorously will get tlie most trade, providing bis stock equals his promises. Advertising is now becom­ ing an art—an established art which has all the permanency of necessity. Never before in the history of the world has there been better advertis­ ing done. The -oldest and the ’most conservative firms have' been driven to it. The future will see a still great­ er amount ol advertising - done, and as in everything else, the best man wins. Don't make the mistake, no matter how tynuH your business'-may be, of treating it badly. A- was said before, it is the breath of life to any business.

This is undoubted­ ly the largest order of merchandise or produce ever shipped out of Nash­ ville in one shipment, except wool. There is no question but this firm does a heavier business in maple sugar than any other firm in Michi­ gan. The average season’s purchase of maple sugar amounts to nearly or quite 100,000 pounds, and they ex­ pect to buy much heavier this season than ever before. They also do the largest business in Barry county in buying and shipping poultry, game and dressed meats. They buy poultry at all seasons of the year, ever/ day, and are always the leaders in the mat­ ter of prices. They have a large and model establishment for their line of work, and during the busy season em­ ploy a large force of hands.

One of the most enjoyable of the pleasures of Spring and Early Summer is a drive through the country or to some of the neighboring villages or cities. The beau­ tiful scenery, the fresh,, invigorating air, the songs of birds and the nodding of wildwood flowers are entrancing. But in . order to enjoy the drive to the fullest pos­ sible extent one must have a rig which is right—good" horses, with plenty of life, yet safe: stylish vehicle, strong Bpd easy; good harness, robes, dusters and everything complete.

TWO BIG STORES NEW AND USEFUL. Bring us your Money, Butter, Eggs and Dried Apples. A portable fumigating deyice for pur­ ifying small rooms has an oil stove iu the bottom of a casing, with the liquid for fumigation contained in a rc«-eptacle at the top, with pipes over the flame to vaporize the liquid. For use in polishing knives a handy device is formed of two Hat pieces of material, having |K)lisiring cushions on their opposing faces, the upper mem­ ber being pivoted on the lower to admit the knife blade between the two. An improvement in dredges for excavalipg in'the bed of streams has the bucket of similar shape to the scrapers usyd in land excavations, the hoisting machine drawing', it along the bottom to take on its-load before being lifted. In a new safety pin designed by a Canadian woman, the pin portion will not pull out. under a strain, having the point formed with a small arrow head, which enters the cloth easily, but will not pull out of the end of the clasp when once closed. Grocers’ scoops are to be made with a weighing scale attached, the upper portion of the handle being cut away for the reception of a spring-containing_ barrel, with a wire bale at the lower end which supports the scoop when suspended on. the scale. A spike extractor has been patented for use on railroads, comprising a post to rest on the rail, with a sliding mem­ ber raised and lowered by a lever piv­ oted on the post, tfie slide haying a pair, of jaws at the lower end for engag­ ing the head of the spike. A Californian has patented an auto­ matic weighing scoop which has the handle formed in two telescopic parts,4 -with a spiral spring inside which ah lows the weight of the contents of the scoop to contract the handle and indi­ cate the weight by graduations on the taper member. Goethe, Byron, Napoleon, Moltke, Talleyrand and Bismarck, while' not dandies, were careful about their at­ tire. Carlyle was not very careful about his persona) appearance; he was too apt to think a genius could wear any­ thing he chose and never bothered about how he looked. He probably got the idea from the fact that two of his heroes—Cromwell and Frederick II.— were both the worst dressed men of their time. M. Lou bet, the newly-elected French president, is the reverse of a decorative person. Coining as he does after M. Faure, who was elegant in regard to clothes, the fact is more pronounced. Previous French presidents—Thiers, wrevy, Carnot and MacMnhon, were always well dressed in public. In hi* young days Thiers was very smart. Grevy was apt to wear slipper* and an did coat at home for comfort. Those in France who grpmble to-day because Loubet is poorly dressed grumbled because Faure dressed too well. They nre like the faxnouii actress who would have nothing to say to Hen­ ri Munger because he was so sliabby. Thereupon he bought a new outfit and. dressed in it, presented himself. "I like him less than ever." protested the Bctresa. “He looks as if he had oome sut of a bandbox in which he was badly THE MARKETS. H. C. EXCURSION RATES. BOTANICAL WONDERS.

Rawlins died within five minutes from the time the first shot was fired and Daniels was pro­ nounced dead about an hour later.

While un­ der the Jnduence of liquor he was about to enter a hack at- Main and Poydras streets, when he espied Daniels sitting in a chair and applied a vile epithet to him. The men exchanged a few words and simultaneously drew their revolvers. Both fired until their pistols were emp­ tied. Rawlins fell dead iji the street and Daniels died an hour later in a drug Store.

Powerful Glaee at the WlHUms Bey OtMkcrvaiory —Briusa the Moon With­ in Maty-four MiUe of the larth ClMe btudy of the Planets. For nearly two years tbe big eye of the Yerkes telescope In the observatory of the University of Chicago, at Will­ iams Bay, WIs., has been spying out the secrets of the stars. It has looked one-fourth further into space than any tartrument devised before It. Night after night the huge, grim Cyclopean •ye swings slowly round In its ponder­ ous frame, crouched in Its big white dome, and keeps a sleepless .watch upon tbe heaveua. The great dome Is open to the sky. The ponderous tube swings •lowly. Imperceptibly, with the turning of the earth from sunset to sunrise •gain. Shut in the black shaft which ■upports the barrel of tbe refractor Is • clock, a wonderful piece of mechagiam, which tells off the motion of the globe on Its axis. Tbe telescop-' shifts, hair breadth by hair breadth, guided by the dock, and making the circuit of the heavens, with tireless eye fixed all night long upon a single star. There Is no escape from the big eye. . As the earth swings In one direction, the eye silently alters Its focus, npver aweary and never asleep. What can the ordinary observer see through the largest and mom perfect telescope In the world?

No oscillation was apparent. Sat­ urn's rings and satellites apparently were of the same yellow color of the planet. Sometimes these rings can be discerned in tbeic colors and form a brilliant rainbow about the planet. From tbe outer rim of tbe planet prop­ er to the outer edge of tbe outside ring, tbe distance, through tbe telescope, looked to be ^bout two Inches. It is, in fact, 172,000 miles! Looking through the huge-refractor, the human eje la able to diycern a space of 172,000 miles as twtrTncbes lu the area of tbe beaveqs! To tbe ordinary observer the shin­ ing violet rings about the planet form a beautiful feature of the view. These rings, however, are due to Imperfec­ tions which exist in every telescope, and which astronomers would be only too glad to dispense with. The telescope was next turned upon Jupiter, the largest planet In tbe solar system, and as big as all of tbe other planets put together. Tbe distance from this earth to Jupiter is a trifle of 400.­ 000,000 miles? and It takes forty-three minutes for its light to reach the earth. Jupiter’s disk looked about as big as a large marble, probably two Inches in diameter. At Its side. In a nearly, straight line to tbe right, appeared four small marbles. Its satellites. Tbe color of the planet was almost white, a very light yellow. Across the planet appear­ ed three faint purple streaks, on the order apparently of the man In tbe moon. While at Lick Observatory Pro­ fessor Barnard discovered the fifth satellite of Jupiter, but was unable to study It to any advantage. The Yerkes telescope brings out * this fifth moon very clearly to' the eye of the astrondkner, and Prof. Barnard has been -— tlgures, however, can property express rhe -sixe, tin* delicacy, tbe almost hu­ man Intelligence of the great machine. The object glass of this telescope Is os delicate as a human eye. A super­ fine silk handkerchief rubbed across Its surface would destroy It And yet, with proper care. It will never wear. The glass for each lens was east in Paris’ by the firm of Mantols, celebrat­ ed for the manufacture of optical glass. Up to tbe time of the Lick’ tele­ scope they had not been able cast a solid, perfectly achromatic block of glass more than thirty inches in diam­ eter. Then came the American order for two lenses thirty-six inches In di­ ameter. The Frenchmen could but try, although they were skeptical as to. the outcome. Nineteen times tbe trial was a failure. For months the mold was allowed to cool Impercepti­ bly each day until ail the heat bad gone out of IL Then came tbe te«LNineteeo times the glass contained flaws too great to be remedied—minute bubbles, unequal densities, various other defects. The twentieth trial produced a magnificent piece of glass, which finally became the property of the Lick Observatory. Encouraged by this success, the firm of Mantols set about tbe manufacture of a glass one-fourth more powerful than tbe one they bad Just madg. Again and again they tried, schooled by the nineteen failures In making the Lick glass. Each trial required several months. At last the patient French makers were rewarded with two disks fortytwo inches In diameter and as nearly colorless and flawless as glass was over made. These blocks of glass were made Into the lenses now in tbe eye of the Yerkes telescope. The glass was ground and finished by the firm YERKES OBSERVATORY AT WILLIAMS BAY. WIS.

It is reached by a ’ iuore wonderful to tbe astronomer flight of marble steps from the main than to the man who looks millions of corridor. Entering tbe building In the evening, all Is quiet and dimly lighted, the main tower quite dark. About midway of tbe round dome Is tbe ris­ ing floor, over which the telescope swings.

Just as Americans have never been able to cast perfect nnd large disks of optical glass*. so the French have not been able to polish the disks per­ fectly after they are- cnsL For four years Mr. Alvan G. Clark worked at the lenses. It may be that another such fierfeet glass will never be made. The secret of the ix>llah|ng has been handed down for three gen­ erations In the Clark family. Previous to the work of the Clarks a German family—the Frnuenhofcrs—bad j>olIshed these glasses. For a century after the death of the last Frauenhofer It seemed that the art of polish­ ing optical glasses was lost. Then Alvan -Clark. a portrait painter In Massachusetts, attracted the attention of English scientists, and he and his family far excelled the German art­ ists In glass. Mr. Alvan G. Clark, the Inst of his family, attended tbe dedi­ cation exercises of the Yerkes glass, returned to bis home, and died within a few days. The eye piece of a telescope, through which the observer looks. Is the part of the instrument which magnifies the objects seen. The number of diame­ ters to which an object can l>e magni­ fied to advantage depends largely upon the perfection of the object glass. In the Yerkes telescope a glass which magnifies 3,700. times has been em­ ployed successfully. Through this the moon would appear as It would to the naked eye at a distance of sixtyfour miles. The eye piece ordinarily used magnifies 400 diameters. Incredible as It seems, the delicate measurements of the movements of the stars are calculated by cobwebs nicely stretched and forming the real measuring apparatus of the microme­ ter. They last for years and are even cleaned of dust with a dellcffte camel’s-halr brush. Taking off the glass covering one evening, Prof. Burnham was examining the webs. He absent­ mindedly breathed Into tbe aperture, breaking one of the filaments, which It took considerable time to replace. ■At the Yerkes telescope a device has been perfected for lighting the threads with electricity and making them a faint red color. A white Hgft on them would be so brilliant as to injure the eye of the observer. In addition to Its micrometer, the big telescope 1b equipped with all other accessories, such as spectroscopes, spectographs, spectro heliographs, photo heliographs, etc. . While Interest centers around the main dome and its sleepless eye, the Yerkes Observatory would be a big Institution If It had only Its minor glasses to depend upon. One of these is a twelve-inch refractor mounted In the north dome. A twenty-four inch reflector will shortly be mounted In tbe south dome.

Throughout all that region the truly patriotic felt that the country bad been fallM to sustain a great Joe*; but some there were who believed that the departed hero had left a sou who would make his place good. Robert bad no opportunity, even had •the Inclination been his. for idle repining, for Immediately following the settlement ■of household matters, tbe duties of his new office demanded hi* attention. But. • in fact, the death of bis father served to inipite rather than to depress him. Only one source of regret was left, and that, at times, afforded food for deepest per­ plexity. Not a tangible point of knowl­ edge had he gained of that strange old ■man. Stephen Wilson. What his father had found breath to speak had served ■only to increase, the base of mystery. He -had -known that Wilson was an English­ man, and since, having learned that Eng­ land had been his farther’s native land, he was convinced that in other years there had been some important relations be­ tween them. And. moreover, there was oome secret, connected with the talismanic sword which Stephen Wilson wasto reveal to him. ' “Oh! if my father-could only have told me the story! If be bad only spoken when he was stronger—before the band of death had-been laid upon him! I lear. aiow, thrft I shall never know. Stephen Wilson is gohe beyond my reach, and I may never see him again. Alas.1 I fear the gates of«the tomb have closed upon 'the secret forever!"* So mourned the youth very often in the 'first days of his disappointment; but his active duties ere long wore off tbe insinu­ ating edges of his perplexity. He had expected that, as soon as his company was full and ready for service, he would ;be' sent to New York to join Gen. Wash­ ington: but such was not the case: and xince it was made to appear to him that his presence was needed in Philadelphia for a time, be was willing to remain near Lillian. • “You are aware.” said Rol»ert Morris, -who hud been one of the leaders in fur­ nishing the horses and equipments. “that wo are not only surrounded by Tories, but that the traitorous wretches lurk in our midst. We know not how nor when they may strike. Up the Schuylkill they are organizing, aud over in Jersey they are already rampant. Yon must drill and discipline your troop, aqd hold yourself in readiness to answer any call that may be made upon you. You will pud work ■ to do ere long, never fear." “I will be ready,” aaid the young cav­ alry leader. < "And one thing further, my young friend," said Benjamin Franklin, who was in company with Morris, "you must be able to keep your.own counsel. There ■are occasions when silence nnd circum­ spection become the chief virtue*. Be sure your every movement will be watch■ed. and that you will be approached In evdry posible way by the enemies of our -cause. Not only have the Tories of the Schuylkill and of Monmouth active and Insinuating spies in our city, but some of the very leaders are here also." Our hero promised that he would be very careful. • • On the evening of that very day he was visited by his old tutor. Dr. Witherspoon, preaident of Princeton College, and one of the congressional delegates from New “My son." said the doctor, after various matter* of general intereat had been di»CUSaed, “Mr. Morris desired me, when I saw you—and I will confess that-1 have exiled this evening for that purpose—to ask you if you know the character of Ja­ cob Eastcourt.” The color deepened on the youth’s face. “I know it very well. Doctor: and I can imagine why Mr. Morris is so anxious. I know that Jacob Eastcourt is a most bitter and uncompromising enemy to our cause, and 1 know, furthermore, that be •suffers my visits to---- " “Go on; my boy. Your love for his daughter is no secret." “Nor would I have It a secret, sir. Mr. .

But 1 am sufficiently forewarned, and it will be my own fault if I am not forearmed. And, Doctor. I ■think I may trust you with a secret.” "You may. Robert, trust me implicitly.” "Then know that both Jacob East■court's wife and daughter are. heart and soul, devoted to the patriot cause.” The young captain arose and took a few turns across tbe room, and finally stopped and laid his baa’d upon his visitor's shoul­ der. “My dear Doctor, there are some things held so closely in the heart that we.do not like to be questioned about them; but I will set yonr mind at rent, and you can give assurance to others who have a right -to know. I realize the responsibility rest­ ing upon me. I fully appreciate the great trust reposed in me——” “Aye." interrupted .Witherspoon, "it is < great trust, for as our cavalry leader— as the one man in direct command of the must be admitted to our most secret coun"I know it, sir; and be sure you may trust me.

Can you ask me more?" "No, my boy; that is enough. Hence­ forth we understand one another."

Without further remonstrance Wither­ spoon gave up his hat and coat, nnd Shortly afterwards Robert Seaton sallied forth, looking for all the world, in the dim starlight. like the well-known presi­ dent of the College«pf New Jersey.

Katie For the past two weeks the time set for the meeting of Eaton Rapids and Nashville bau teams has been looked forward to, and Tuesday when the game was called a large crowd of spectators was over to the grounds, only to see the visiting team retire with a clean-cut victory, giving our boys a taste of what they have done to Eaton Rapids in all previous games. Both sides played good ball Tuesday, with the exception of a wild throw and a couple muffs on lhe part of our boys, which lost the game. C. Stringham, Eaton Rapids' star twirler, struck out five men and let one to first base on balls, while Damouth, the invincible, fanned six men and made all who saw first base earn it. The game started with pur boys in the field, and after one score had been made the Lome team went to bat and Heckathorn crossed the plate before three men had been called out. In the second inning the visiting team made another run and Nashville followed suit. Hall being the,lucky one. In the third came the downfall, when, by errors, the boys let Eaton Rapids run in five scores, and then went to bat and were shut out. In the fourth* our boys braced up and retired t^e side' without a run, one of the men l>eing put out between third and the plate. The home team ended the Inning with another score tQ its credit, made by A. Clemens. In the fifth Eaton Rapids was given another shut-out, while Nashville succeeded in sending, both Townsend .and Dipnouth home before the side was out. In the sixth the visitors made one run and gave our boys a goose egg, and the seventh in­ ning resulted In the same manner. In the eight and. ninth shut-outs were given to both sides. In the latter the Nashville players got at themselves and made a pretty double play from short to second and first. The Eaton Rapids boys are a nice, clean lot of fellows, they play good ball, and much of their success is due to the amount of ginger they keep in a game and every man keeping awake at all times. Owing to a couple vacan­ cies in lhe home team Goodyear and Herbert of Hastings helped the boys out in an admirable manner. >» Following will be found the players, their positions, the batting order and the score by innings: XMHVnXK Heckathorn, e. f.

Not all the clans could get out the crowds the Barnuins and Feighqers, but that is nd reason why an annual picnic can not be made enjoyable, to old and young. A day gjven up occasionally to a pleasant reunion of family and friends does any one good and helps greatly to cheer the weary round of toll and trouble. LOCAL BRIEFS. Smoke the 119. NUMBER2 E. D.

Fall de­ mand is expanding at most markets, par­ ticularly good reports being received from the Northwest nnd that portion of the corn growing country which this year seems likely to be notable for surplus production. Wheat has been quite firm all the vfeek. partly owing to a whittling down of Northwestern estimates, but . also due to steady demand for the cash article alike on foreign and domestlc^accouut. The relative ‘ scarcity of cash corn is responsible for the advance shown this week in the face of a concededly - large production. Condition* of supply and demand seem to be at the bottom of the-recent rise in beef price*. This ad­ vance ha# attracted increased receipts of grass-fed cattle.. and some shading of quotations is noted, but Chicago price* have only been equaled five times. In twenty-two year*.

The British officials, however, would far rather have received a curt, defiant reply Zrom the Boers than the temporiz­ ing and "soft word" answer, which it is feared will require considerable explana­ tion to justify any aggressive action in the eye* of the world and English mi­ nority. which still declare* that war would be an outrage. • It ha* developed that the war office ha* been aware of the nature of the Transvaal’s reply for several daya, hence it is believed that Great Britain will de­ lay the denoumeut as little as possible, and if Mr. Chamberlain ha* hi* way the counter propoaals of President Kruger will meet with scant attention, thus forc­ ing the Boers into a position where the only way to a void war will be by a com­ plete back-down, which h not at all prob­ able. ' t All England is talking war. Even the man in the street who knows nothing of what is going on behind the scenes is confident that an appeal to arms is now the only solution left for the Transvaal problem, which has reached an ugly stage. That the Boer* will yield nil is not believed, and this idea is strength­ ened by the feverish preparations which both sides have been making for hostili­ ties within the last month. The Transvaal dispute has been bang­ ing; fire for fifty years, and now that it bids fair to come to a crisis where it must be settled for all time the govern­ ment seems annoyed at the apparent in­ difference of the public in the question. Throughout the Orange Free State nnd Cape Colony Sunday was observed with prayer nnd humiliation by the populace advocating n peaceful settlement of the Transvaal dispute. A dispatch from Pre­ toria says: "President Kruger, while personally conducting a public church service, prayed that if war was unavoid­ able God might find right nnd truth on the aide of the Afrikanders.” A firm of Birmingham, England, has received an order for 14,000.000 Mauser DEMOCRATS TO ACT EARLY. cartridges for urgent delivery to Sout^i Africa.

J.... _ Fire has destroyed the business por­ tion of the city of Victor, Colo., causing a loss estimated at $2,500,000, Begin­ ning shortly after noon Monday the fire raged until evening, consuming every­ thing in its way. It had its origin, It is thought, in the Merchants cafe, adjoin­ ing the Bank of Victor, 3d street and Victor avenue. A strong wind from the south fanned the flhmre, and In a few minutes all the surrounding houses were afire. . Help was summoned from Cripple Creek, but the town had been built in* the early days of the camp, and was of pine timber,' for the most part, and burn­ ed like paper. Efforts were made to stop the progress of the flame* by blow­ ing up buildings in their path, and all afternoon the hills hare roared with the explosions, but the effort was in vain. The scenes of the great Cripple Crdek fire were duplicated. Hurrying before the roaring flames went men, women and children, carrying what they ^could snatch from the fire, racing for their lives. The crash of buildings torn asun­ der by dynamite and the crackle of the flame* as they consumed the dry timbers hastened their flight, and the pall of ■moke added a terror to the spectacle. The residence portion of the city has suffered little, but the business part is paralyzed, and suffering is bound to fol­ low. The fire claimed the Bank of Victot the postoffice, on the comer opposite, crossed 3d street and followed the row of blocks between 3d and 4tb streets to the north, taking the Victor Banking Company, the Western Union Telegraph Company's office, the office of the Colo­ rado Telephone Company, the Hotel Vic­ tor. on the opposite side of 4tb street, and the three great shaft houses of the Gold Coin Mining Company, and it* ore bin*, among the largest In the Cripple Creek district- Patronise those who advert!**.

They pleaded in vain, but the mother was not to be daunted by red tape. As the fast mail came in sight she sprang on the track, golf cape in hand. She fran­ tically waved the scarlet garment that nullified running rules, and forced the engineer to bring his rushing train to a stop almost at her feet. Mrs. Allen reached Kenosha n little later.

Pests of the cabbage family arc beet controlled by the use of the following insecticide:. Pulverised resin, five pounds; concentrated lye, one pound; fish oil, one pint; water, five gallons. Make this into a stock solution by plac­ ing the oil/ resin and one gallon of hot water in an Iron kettle, beating until tbe resin is softened. After this add the concentrated lye carefully and stir the mixture thoroughly. Add four more gallons of water and boll tbe whole mass until the mixture will unite with cold water, making a clear, am­ ber-colored mixture. This mixture should make five gallons of stock solu­ tion. When this Is used, F. A Slrrlne, of the Geneva experiment station, ad­ vises preparing It by combining one gallon of the stock solution with six­ teen gallons of water, three gallons, milk of lime and one-quarter pound of Paris green. The water, resin and milk of lime are combined’, after which the Paris green Is added. In every case where this mixture is properly applied good results were obtained. Watering Plante. Some plants, to thrive as they should, require much more water than others, and on this account, if the best growth is maintained through the summer, more or less watering will be neces­ sary. “But If watering Is necessary, if any considerable amount of benefit Is secured. It is very essential that it be thorough. One or two thorough soak­ ings of the soli a week around the roots will lx* of much more real benefit to the growing plants than a dally sprinkling on the surface. One of the best plans of watering a larger proportion of plants Is to work the soil into a good tilth, drawing the earth away from the plant to some extent; then put on water sufficient to thoroughly wet the soli and throw over thk» thin layer of fine soil. This acts as a mulch and lessens evaporation, and a large amount of benefit is derived and the work needn’t be repeated so often. In nearly all cases when watering is commenced It will have to be kept up until there is a good rain.—Farmer’s Voice.

He related how he com­ pared a captufed letter conveying treas­ onable documents to the handwriting of Dreyfus, and what a remarkable resem­ blance there was between them. The witness said that beside* the general con­ duct of the.accused was suspicious. M. Demange asked Gen.

When first or­ ga nixed the object was to protect life and property amour, tbe law-abiding clsas from tbe ruthless depredations of tbe out­ laws who infested 'the country. Such was the chaotic condition of affairs In the South following the dose of the civil war that nobody felt secure, so the originators of the klan determined to ad­ minister swift and speedy justice to such criminals as deserved punishment, and the penalty was graduated according to the character of the crime. While at the beginning it undoubtedly exercised a salutary influence in quell­ ing the lawless element, and in the pro­ tection of life and. property, still by de­ grees unscrupulous men took- advantage of the terrible and my«rterious reputation of the Kuklui Klan to avenge themselve* upon those for whom they had conceived ad enmity, and it finally degen­ erated into a gang of desperadoes that were worse than the element which it sought to punish. It was no Infrequeht occurrence dur­ ing the latter days of tbe klan for some peaceful citlxen to be taken from hl* home and maltreated by a gang of ruf­ fians led by some member who had de­ cided that It would be for his personal gain that the citlxen should be made to leave the community. Many were the dark deeds of violence done undea coyer of the night and under the cloak of the Klklux Klan long after the more respec­ table class that originally belonged to It had withdrawn in disgust and had joined in the effort to atone for past errors by assisting In putting down the klan and bringing the perpetrators of such deeds to justice. MERCIER A FORGER. Austrian Military Attache Will Pros­ ecute the Frenchman. Chief among the topics of conversation in Paris is jhe reported action of Col. Schneider, Austrian military attache, who is to prosecute General Mercier for forgery. The case will come before the Paris Court of Assizes. This is the hardest blow yet delivered the military cabal. Tbe anti-Dreyfus journals have been boasting that Schneider falsified. They said he was a tool of the triple alli­ ance. This boast is now an empty one, and their own reputation for veracity is among missing quantities. Mercier’s of­ fense consists in having adduced jt docu­ ment in thq Renne* court purporting to be a report on Dreyfua from Schneider "■—I CASTOR 1A The Kind You Have Always Bought, and which has been in use for over 30 years, has borne the signature of and has been made under his per■ Z/ffi'y-—g. sonal supervision since its infancy. _ajiow no onc to deceive you in this.

He said the accused."exhibited great emotion, as he had also when placed under arrest. Next came Gribelin, recorder of tingeneral staff. He argued that Dreyfus was guilty, and that Col. Picquart’s evi­ dence was manufactured. Capt. Dreyfus then arose, and, speaking calmly, pro­ . ceeded to refute the testimony of Cochefort aud Gribelin. He related the scene of the dictation test. "I remember it per­ fectly," said Dreyfus. “I came in from a cold room, where I had been waiting. The difference between my writing then and my usual.handwriting was alone due to my cold fingers.”. The session wound up with a scribe on account of the extraordinary conduct of Col. Jounust, president of the court, who permitted himself to make an unwarrant­ able display of partiality. M. Bert ulus had been confronted with the last wit­ ness, Capt. Junck, and Gen. Gonso had defended the latter when Col. Plcquart rose and asked to be allowed to refute some of Junck’a remarks. Col. Jouaust made a gesture of impatience ainl ohonted: - "What, again?" An outburst of booing and biasing eame from the audience at such a display of unfairness from the president. Judges and gendarmes quickly suppressed the noise, but Col. Jouauat understood the well-merited rebuke administered him, turned red and adjourned the court ten minutes later. Wm.

Y., writes: “1 can most heartily recommend Dr. A. W. Chase’s Ointment as a positive cure for itching piles. For over 15 years the piles have been a source of constant annoyance to me, and frequently the suffering has been most intense. The benefits derived from the use of Dr. A. W. Chase’s Ointment have been magical and lasting, and I feel it a dnty to my fellow-beings to recommend it and Gm my influence to make its wonderful merits known.” Dr. A. W. Chase’s Ointment, 50c a box, at all dealers, or Dr. A. W. Chase Medicine Co., Buffalo, N. Y. NOTICE.

The acting land commissioner at Wash­ ington haa mailed to the land office In Michigan a circular prescribing rules for the government of all persons concerned in proceedings, arising on reports, of spe­ cial agents affecting the validity of claims to public lands. The object of the changes outlined in the circular is to provide for the serving of .notice upon entrymen by which they will be given an opportunity to be heard in a case if so desired. Hereafter when there is filed In the general land office a report of • special agent alleging that a certain.en­ try, filing, location or claim for a speci­ fied tract of land is fraudulent or illegal, or that the claimant has tailed to comply with the requirements of law, nnd the facts presented are sufficient to warrant a cancellation of an entry or claim, tbe local land officers will be authdrized to serve notice upon said claimant or entry­ man. 'The notice must specify and define the charges adverse to tbe entryman or claimant contained in the special agent’s report. They will be advised that thirty days will be allowed in which to apply for a hearing, and failure to apply within the prescribed time will be taken as an admission of the truth of the charges. The notice must be served personally whenever possible. Heretofore the prac­ tice has been that upon tbe report of a special agent of tbe abandonment of a claim or that an entry hnd been made in­ violation of.law the entry has been held for cancellation. The new departure is expected to result in the expedition of the class of cases affected. Labor Commissioner Cox has gathered interesting statistics with' reference to the fire departments oKf Michigan cities. There are 76 cities in the Slate, of which 67 have paid chiefs of the fire depart­ ment. The aggregate salaries of the 07 chiefs amount to $27,935, the average ^be­ ing $417. Forty-eight cities employ 795 full-time men, an average of 17 men to each city, who are paid an in.-rage monthly wage of $39.97. Sixty-two cities have part-paid men and 14 volunteer fire­ men. Part-paid men receive an average of $77 per year each, and 1.302 are given employment. Six cities pay wages month­ ly at the average raje of $15, and 15 cities pay men by the day at the rate of $1.51. Fourteen cities pay firemen by the hour for actual'service at fires at the rate of 79 cents on an average. The number of'runs made by all the lire de­ partments of the State during the year was 4,192, the average number for each city being 55. . There were 360 false alarms iu GO cities of the State. Sixty cities report the aggregate value of prop­ erty destroyed by tire in ISOS nt S1,83L057, an average of $30,577 for each city. Fifty-five cities estimate the total value of property saved by fire departments at $27,871,720. Two hundred and ninetyfour villages were also canvassed, 164 having organized fire departments and 130 having no organization for firev pro­ tection. Twelve villages have paid de­ partments and 167 villages employ chiefs of the departments. Labor Commissioner Cox has obtained figures relative to the value of the prop­ erty of Michigan villages which is being compiled for his annual report. There are 298 villages in the State, of which four have no village officers, so that the returns are from 294 villages. Of these 172 own village halls and 122 are with­ out such accessories. The value of these balls is given Fy 171 villages nt $410,­ 100, or an average of $2,898 each. For public improvements in 1^»8 25 villages report no expenditures, while 255 are ex­ pending $572,458, an average of $2,245 each. One hundred fifty-three yj.1^ fagei report no public indebtedness, the other 141 having an aggregate debt of $1,732,174, an average of $12,285 to each village. There are no police officers in nine villages, while 285 villages report 415. Night watchmen are employed in 75 villages, while 189 villages have no such officer. The expense "of police in 263 villages is given at $61,771. Accord­ ing to the reports from 221 villages times are better than one year ago, while 75 report times no better. . The average wages paid for day labor is $1.33 per day, and for man and team $2.64. The aggregate amount of money paid chiefs of police and marshals in the 76 cities of the State is $51,250, an average of $674 for each city. Sixty-four cities have regular men on the police force, the aggregate number of policemen being 936, or an average of 15 for each city. The average daily pay for members of the police force is $2.32. In twelve cities there are no regular men employed on the police force. In addition to the regulur police force in 70 of the cities there are 172 sheriff’s deputies and 245 con­ stables actively serving, or an average of six for every city. Only twelve cities in the State report having a regular police matron. Owing to th? rapid growth of the clectrie railway system, the State sailroad crossing board has decided to require a separation of grades at all crossings of steam tracks hereafter made. Thia ’ is a measure of safety to tbe public nnd Is necessary for the making of time, the law requiring a full stop to be made at all grade crossings. State Items of Interest.

They discard ks impracticable the proposition to acquire the necessary lands by purchase, and pre­ sent the following scheme: The utilisation of 800,000 acres of the Indian reserva­ tion in and about Leech and Wlnnibogishish lakes, with the possibility of an extension of the park confines north to the Canadian border at a future time. The town of Walker Is left outside the psrk lines, ss is Deer River on the east. The value of the land to-day as it stands is estimated at about $5,000,000. All the land is Government land. It is a reser­ vation for. the Indians, but uevertheless part of the public domain, and without actiop on the part of Congress may not be made to respond to any other use.

Borne years ago the writer heard an old man say that he had planted and eaten tbe fruit of three different orchards, and that at seventy years of age be bad planted a fourth orchard for others, but ax elghty-*even years of age be •till live* to eat the fruit of hl* own trees. Strawberries bear in abundance the second year after planting; black­ berries, currants, grapes and gooseber­ ries the third year. Peach tree* will often bear full crop* the third year. Early bearing apple, pear and plum tree* will often produce abundantly for the family tbe fourth and fifth years. It la possible for a farmer In the Northern State* to have fresh fruit of hl* own growing upon his table every day in the year. He will begin with •trawberrles the last of May. These will last three or four weeks, and be­ fore they are all gone raspberries will be ripe, and will continue about five weeks. Cherries will begin to ripen during tbe raspberry season. As tbe raspberries go out, blackberrle*. cur­ rants and gooseberries will be ready for the table. As tbe last of these go, tbe early peaches, pears, apples and plums will begin to be ready for the table. During August, September and October he can have a great variety of fruit.

Trapping H-n Hawk*. 1 1 j ' ' ’ , Wherever there is low shrubbery around the bouse hens with broods of chickens will naturally seek that, less for the shade than as protection against depredators who might swoop down and carry off a young chick to be torn to pieces and eaten. The hen hawk usually finds some place where be can watch tbe brood unobserved, and make ills seizure before the hen's warning cry causes her little ones to run for shelter. If a steel trap Is set on top of a pole where It will be convenient for the hawk to alight he will be very quickly caught. The trap should be se­ cured by rope or chain, so that the hawk can not fly off with tbe trap. In this way the worst enemy of the poul­ try grower may be easily and cheaply disposed of. Improvement of Hiuhwav*. Good roads are so popular in Connec­ ticut that the State’s appropriation for helping out the towns will not be large enough to supply the demand.

The school tiiat came up to the “pin-drop1’ or “clock-tick” test was termed ideal rega rd lea» of the quality of the instructed imparted. A little later the clement of instruction came in to command attention and then the ideal school was made up of students who were orderly and who applied themselves diligently to their work. Good order ano application in I study are two very excellent conditions' , but they should not serve as ends.. Indeed these conditions may be secured by 'means that are directly opposed I to the right development of character. Price and reward will sometimes ac­ complish this result, but one could hardly say that such methods inculcate right ideas upon the students’ mind.. The ideal school should train its puplls in self- application and selhcontrol so that they may become good citizens without thinking that the world is under some sjiecial obliga­ tion to them simply .because they are goodcitizens. , " With most schools the responsibility of government is thrown entirely upon the teacher, the patrdns not co-oper­ ating as they should. This being the case the teacher should make his per­ sonality as strong as possible. -On page 10 of the Manual are given ten rules that may be of assistance fh at­ taining this desired end. Last week we spoke of the need of emphasizing rules 3, 5 and 6. A short discussion of each one of them may be benefiticial. • 3. “ BRIDLE THE TONGUE., ’ INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY . On assuming charge of a school for the first time, some teachers are so de­ lighted at the thoiight of having some­ one to exercise authority over that they utilize every possible opportunity for issuing commands. This is quite a common fault-. We use too many “don’ta.” We scold too much if we scold at all. Dr. White says:“No expenditure of energy in a school is more futile than scolding or faultfind­ ing. It is not what is said of a pupil's past conduct that tells, but what he is required to do.” Substitute “do” for “don’t.” WEBSTER S TVEBSTER'S It i$ estimated practical back, and I was obliged to take to my bed.

Students usually repose confidence in a new teacher at nrst. Therefore, if you begin your work as if you knew your business this confi­ dence and respect will be continued. Betray your lack of knowledge but once and the necessity of other means of control is instantly apparent. Strive then to master the subjects you teach so that you may possess this one important element of governing power. -A BRIGHT HOME MAKES A MERRY HEART.” JOY TRAVELS ALONG WITH SAPOLIO 2353482348484853534848234848232323 That the annual trade in Ready-Made Clothing in the United States requires the production of sixty million suit# at an average of eight dollars a suit.

He found Washington alone In’ his pri­ vate room, a small apartment on the eastern side of the house, the deep win­ dow of which overlooked most of the dis­ tant ’amp. The general’s brow was clouded, his lips were compressed, and he had been drumming thoughtfully with bis fingers upon the table'by which hr xatfbut he looked pleasantly up when the young cavalryman entered, and saluted him warmly and . even affectionately. When he had motioned bis visitor to a seat he arose and went to the window, where he lifted the top of the broad, deep sill as he would have lifted tbe cover of a chest, and from the capacious -cavity within be took a paper, with which he returned to his seat. "Captain,” he said. "I have sent for you to give into your charge a mlsaion requiring in its execution courage and seal, and "dear discrimination. Your first lieutenant. I think, is well acquaint­ ed with the highways and byways of the farming districts beyond the bills?” “Yes, sir," answered Seaton. “He un­ derstands tbe topography of the country, and he knows the people.” "Very well. He will be of assistance in guiding you. You arc aware, Cap­ tain. that our troops are suffering from want of meat. They must suffer no more, if I can prevent it. I can beter afford to draw down the enmity of the Tory farmers than to court for my men the enemy of starvation. On this paper are the names of five-and-twenty fann­ ers who own cuttie, and who are known to sympathize with our enemies. You will muster your troops to-morrow morn­ ing and visit these men. It may take you two days—perhaps longer. I want you to bring back two hundred bead of cattle, and you will lay the distraint as evenly ns you can. I-et each be levied upon according to-his means; and In this I trust you to exercise your own judg­ ment. Let no animal be hidden from you. Here are blank forms of acknowl­ edgment. To every man from whom you take cattle you will give one of these, specifying the number and quality tak­ en, with youc attested signature. Per­ haps Lieut. Douglas had beter attest them. You understand?" “Perfectly, General.” “And you are aware of the dangers ugninst which you have to guard?” "I shall move with great caution, sit. And you will remember that 1 shall have a man with me whose superior for this kind of work cannot be found. I mean Roderic Douglas." The chieftain bowed in gracious ac­ knowledgment, and after arranging a few minor items, our hero withdrew. “Harry!—Douglas!" cried Seaton, as he re-entered his hut, “give me joy!—Ah, my Roderic, God is always helping Washington to answer his own prayer! We,are to have two hundred head of cat­ tle in camp within two days." “How?" exclaimed Lee. “Are you sure?” "I am sure that I am commissioned to get them; and, with Roderic’s help, I think you know what that must mean." Seaton then explained, after which he summoned his orderly-sergeant and di­ rected him to have tbe full troop in read­ iness for moving at daybreak. "And now." he said, turning to Lee. after the subject of his raid was fully understood, “you said you had something else to give me. What is it?” "Seaton—and you, Dougins—you will hold this a secret which I now tell to you?" .They both promised. "And. Robert." he pursued, “you will ask me no questions. I have been to-day on duty outside tbe lines on the opposite bank of the Schuylkill, and I have lereived, by private bands, a packet from friends in Philadelphia. Under cover with my missives came this for you, with the request that I would deliver it into your hands, which I now do.”' Seaton took the letter, and by the light of the fire he 'could see that the super­ scription was in the hand of Patience Angell. Having thanked his friend as well as his startled emotions would let r.hlou^e got his candle, and went to the JCrv- and -lighted it. When he turned he found hinuuilf alone. Lee and Douglas had quietly slipped away. He sat down to the rough table, and having drawn the candle to his elbow, he broke the m&I of the packet. It was a letter from Patience, enclosing two oth­ er letters. He read that of the house­ keeper first. It was dated, "Philadel­ phia. Jan. 10, 1778,” and had been a little over a week on its way. First, the writer gave a detailed account of her , management of household affairs. Mr. Morris had gone beyond the Susquehan­ na with Congress, but had left her all the money she needed. She concluded aa follows: "I send you two letters enclosed. 1 was with Mrs. Eastcourt when she wrote. She died on the next day.

While the young lady ^nrprutesting that she bad not sent th* ■candy, one of the guests dropped into a ' chair, deathly sick and pale. Doctors were hurriedly summoned, and their in­ vestigations showed that tbe candy bad been poisoned with arsenic. All tbe ladi<.« who had eaten the candy were mads ill.- ::nd several narrowly escaped death. Suspicion at once fell upon Miss Hotlocker. The purchase of the candy was traced to her and she was arrested. Her mother and sisters protested that she was ill and in no-condition to appear at the trial. At the preliminary hearing she became nervous, broke down and made a scene and had to be taken in a carriage to her home. Tbe bearing was adjourn­ ed. bail being fixed at $5,000. Soon after this she was placed in tbe retreat at Jack­ sonville. Tbe chief Interest in the case lies in the fact that the defense of the young woman will be hypnotism. Miss Horlocker says that the sending of the candy was under tbe influence of a will strong­ er than her own. but she has given no hint as to whom she suspects of exercis­ ing the hypnotic influence over her. There are many who scout the idea of hypnotic influence. They say Miss Horlocker was infatuated with her employer and therefore bad an object in wishing tbe "removal” of Mrs. Morey. Th® agent of Wm.

Attorney General Oren decides that an officer of a school district has no right to write insurance upon school buildings in hie district, and that if be does so he can be prosecuted, as the law makes the offense a misdemeanor.

In a pitched battle between negro and white miners, fought in-the main street of Carterville, II!.. Sunday, seven "of the colored men were killed ami two other* wounded. It was only Monday of the previous week that the State militia., which had la-en vD duty, there for sever*! months, was withdrawn, it being consid­ ered that all danger of trouble was past. After the departure-of the troop*, how. ever, it appears that the bitter feeling be­ tween the races took new life, Sunday’s outbreak proving tbe culmination. Both aides insist that the other was responsi­ ble for tbe deadly combat. Thirteen non-union colored miners left their homes nt Brush's mines, north of the town, shortly before noon and came down to the Illinois Central station in­ tending to take the Paducah express for Marion. it has been tbe custom of Brush's- non-union negro miners for sev­ eral weeks, or a squad '<f twelve of fif­ teen of them, to go to Marion every Sun­ day. remain for the night'services at the culored church and return home on the 11:10 p. m. train. These negroes had been nt the.Cartervfile station only a few minute* when twenty-five or thirty union miners, most of them' armed with rifles, appeared on the scene. When they came up they found several of the negroes in­ side the waiting room, the remainder on tbe platform. The black nieu were immediately or-* dered by the white miners to leave there and to leave at once. The order was soon repeated to tbetn, with another order to lente the town und that quickly. Ac­ cording to unprejudiced witnesses, tbe negroes commenced to obey the orders, going northwest on the railroad- tracks. When they had- proceeded about 1*M) yards to where the main street of the town crosses the .railroad tracks one of the negroes turned, drew his revolver and fired back at the crowd, which was then advancing toward them. This wn* a signal for a general on­ slaught by the white miners. They oi»cned a deadly fire..on the negroes, who scat­ tered like scared sheep. The white min­ ora fired oyer 100 shots nt the fleeing ne­ groes, and it is said that many shots were tired nt them from the windows of liopfces and from barns and outhouse*. Evjery few minute* one of the fleeing men would stagger, throw up his hands and topple to the earth. The pursuers did nut stop, but kept up their rahj of lead until the few survivors had gotten beyond range. There dead negroes fell along the rail­ road track not more Ibnn 200 yards from the station. Tbe infuriated miners followed up their bloody work and those of the unfortunate negroes who were not killed when they first fell were afterward riddled with bul­ lets at short range or clubbed to death with the butts of guns. Two of the wounded managed to get away from the scene of slaughter and walked to within a short distance of the mines, where theix* dead bodies were found later in' the day. This clash is tbe outcome of differences between the operators and union continu­ ing over several years. The strike ha* been more for a recognition of the union than because of wages; Rioting, begin­ ning in June last, resulted in tbe (jailing out of State troops, which were with­ drawn from the town only a week before. Guv. Tanney on receipt of tbe news of the riot, immediately ordered Lieut. Low­ den of Company C of Carbondale to pro­ ceed with his command nt once to Car­ terville. procuring a special train if neeossary. Two companies of the Fourth regiment, under command of Col. Ben­ nett. were also ordered to the scene of the trouble. Admiral Deity’s official welcome b-vme will take place in Washington when the magnificent sword voted to him by Con­ gress will be presented to the hero ot Ma­ nila bay on the. steps of the CapitoL There will be official delegations from the Senate and House, trader tbe leadership uf Senator Proctor of Vermont and Rep­ resentative David B.

At night there will be a general illumination pf the city, and a torchlight parade of troop* and 'civic organizations.

The boundary line is to form a temporary barrier only, and its location will not prejudice the Government case of eitbet country. The modus vivendi provide* for u line run­ ning just northward of Kluckwuu, and it burs out Canada entirely from >he Lynn* canal. Arrangements of a temporary ' character may yet be made, however, to permit the Canadian*.tv get their goods across the border, but The protocol a* now drawn doe* not provide for such a free port. The boundary line under the modus vivendi Is a slight copcession to Canada, but- it i* still far inside of the British claim and is in substance the Ambricau line. • Chinese missionaries, some of them at present at home, are back of a scheme to transplant a modern sawmill from New York State to Wu Hu, China. Amer­ ican, English and Chinese residents of Wu Ho are said to take kindly to the proposition, and Li Hung Chang is quot­ ed as having given his consent, and ulong With it a check for $2,000 for stock in the new enterprise. There is no modern sawmill in all China, and lumber is saw­ ed there by the most antiquated methods. It Is said that the value of the proposed mill as an object lesson for the natives will be important, and Ant for this rea­ son the Government is looking upon the plan with favor. There was more gold in the treasury Thursday than the Government has ever had before at one time. The net .gold and bullion, including $100,000,000 re­ served for redemption of United States notes, as reported at the Treasury De- . partment on that day was $251,615,132. The amount never reached $200.000.00Q until August last year, w.hen it was a little more than ?217,000,000. The actual amountof gold coin in the treasury Thurs­ day was $105,812,840, and of gold bul­ lion $128,004,321, making a total of $324,­ 717,661, against which gold certificates to the value of $*3,099,529 are outstand­ ing. According to official reports at the State Department, steps have been taken to break down the quinine trust, organiz­ ed by German manufacturers.

BERMUDA SWEPT BY STORM. The Island of Bermuda was swept by a hurricane' W,«ducxday night, which, though resulting in no Joss' of life, caus­ ed damages to property that will run well into the thousands. The storm raged pll night and many buildings were wrecked, including the Govenimeut hourc. It was the worst blow since the hurricane of 1880. There was Considerable damage done at the military camp, where the city hall, puldic gardens and hutele were wrecked, and at the dock yards alone the Io** is estimated at £100.000.

One of the most enjoyable of the pleasures of Spring and Early Summer is a drive through the country or to some of the neighboring villages or cities. *The beau­ tiful scenery, the fresh, invigorating air, the songs of birds and the nodding of wildwood flowers are entrancing. But in order to enjoy the drive to the fullest pos­ sible extent one must have a rig which is ' right—good horses, with plenty of life, yet safe: stylish vehicle, strong anil easy; good harness, robes, dust* r> and everything complete. When you want to drive, with (bat kind of a turnout, and at a resonable price, you will of course go to SCHEIDT’S LIVERY I TEAS. 4 There is us much difference in teas as there is in people.

Copyright A Boy's Faith. An account of the life of Judge James B. Brad well, of Chicago, by his daugh­ ter, tells a story of the deeply religious training of bls childhood. He had the old-fashioned faith in the efficacy of prayer, before be was of sufficient age to understand the reasonable limits of such petitions. Once, when James was only eight years old. the wagon ‘was sent to Chi­ cago for provisions. Five days elapsed; the wagon was detained, and the Brad­ well family was without food and with­ out a man to provide It. Little James, as ilkual with even small boys of the time and place, was a good shot Hl* mother loaded the gun for him and he started out to see what he could shoot to supply ‘he table. In due time he saw two prairie chick­ ens not far away. He got his gun ready and then took long enough to pray thus: "Oh. Father, If you will just let me bring down those two chickens. I’ll give ' your minister the choice of the pair." The trigger was pulled and down came tne me two prairie chickens. cnicKens. James believed the shot to b4 a direct answer [ to. his prayer. He took tbe two birds to Elder Snow, the minister, and told him of the circumstances. The good elder took a long time to examine the two chickens. In order to be quite sure that he got the better of the two: because, he said, he thought it best that the boy’s compact should be faithfully carried out. ' .

Even the men most familiar with the oatiou's.law differ in opinion as to whether or not the condemned- man will have to suffer the teu years’ deten­ tion ImjKised by the jadgea. Dreyfus bim** holds that the five years’ solitary impriaonment wHi offset the new sentence and many prominent lawyers bold the same view. . Attorney Demange of counsel for the defence, Col. Jouaust. president of the . court martial, and Clerk Coupoia of the jnUitary tribunal declare that the impris­ onment on DevH’s Island will count for nothing and that the new term must be nerved by the captain. The theory that the sentence was fixed nt ten years by the judges, that the punishment would ex­ actly equal that already undergone, seems baselrMc It was shown that the vote of tike court martial—5 to 2—made such ver­ dict obligatory and the question of the accused man's early release was not contidered by the tribunal. ▲ second degradation will not be possi­ ble, as Dreyfus’ sword was not returned to him and be has no epaulets on the un­ dress uniform which he now wearik.

Prices are being well maintained for the reason that the pro­ duction, great as it has been in the last few months, is still considerably below the demand. Collections are uniformly reported to be good and wholesalers say that the proportion of each transaction is showing a gratifying increase. . In the security markets there has been some uneasiness shown with regard to the Transvaal situation and money rates have tflso shown a tendency to harden. The result of this baa been that during the latter part of the week prices for stocks showed a considerable decline. On ail the recessions, however, good buying has made its appearance in the standard stocks. Trading sentiment at the moment is somewhat mixed, but the best opinion is that as soon as money again eases up tbe stock market will again develop into a bull affair. Meantime, it is expected to continue to have two sides, with fluc­ tuations covering a range of two or three points. Business on tbe Board of Trade suffer­ ed to some extdht from the state of the weather. The volume of speculative transactions was thereby curtailed, nud the lack of activity gave to the markets an appearance of weakness which was more apparent than real. Holders of wheat had to battle with Increasing re­ ceipts, but were sustained in their efforts by the liberal outflow toward foreign ports and the fact that, notwithstanding almost daily claims of no demand from abroad, the weekly shipments from this country to Europe exceeded by about 40 per cent the combined efforts of all tbe other exporting countries of the world. Corn dosed Saturday without any ap­ preciable change in price from that ruling at the dose of the previous week. Reports from the country very generally claimed damage more or less from the extremely dry, hot -weather, but the speculative ap­ preciation of the amount of injury is dis­ played in the immobility of the grain's value, notwithstanding the excellence of the shipping demand. It is true that freight rates are hardening, and that would have a natural tendency to depress prices west, but they «uld not me kept down on that account if there wax any doubt of a large crop being practically as­ sured, although It may not be so over­ whelmingly heavy as promised two weeks The dry term has come to an end, and farm work in preparation for another sea­ son. temporarily suspended by tbe lack of moisture, can now be resumed, so that the flourishing condition of things agricultural cont'nues in undiminished degree. v OTIS PLANS CAMPAIGN.

One of these will operate to the north of Manila and the other to the^west and South. Each division will operate in two military prov­ inces to be defined by Gen.

John Fowler, Kalamo. -The fifty-sixth annual meeting of the Grand Rapids Baptist association met with tbe N ashville church Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. The number of delegates from the other churches was rather small, which is no doubt due to the fact that Nashville is located on the extreme boundary line of the association. The attendance of the pastors, however, was very good. The’ first meeting of the occasion was opened t»- a devotional service, after which tne annual sermon was preached by Rev. Wm.' Templeman of Howard City. Following the sermon tbe association proceeded to the elec­ tion of officers for the-coming yc*r, and resulted as follows: Rev. F. T. Dye of Grand Rapids, moderator; O. C. Flanegan of Grand Rapids clerk; .S. M. Pearsall of Grand Rapids, treasurer. In the afternoon, after devottonal services, the letters from various churches were read. Then the reports of the Women’s Missionary societies and an address upon the subject of “Missionary Work’’ by Mrs. E. G. Wheeler of Detroit, who was formerly in charge of a chapel ckr on tbe Pa­ cific coast, was listened to with much interest. Rev. C. E. Conley of Detroit, Super­ intendent of State Missions, spoke up­ on the subject of “The Issues and Conditions that Today" Confront the Qhureb.” Many stirrinp facte were presented and much interest was taken in the consideration of the subject. During the time allowed to Mr. Conley be took the oppQrtnnity to speak of the interests of the State Missions. After his address some time was spent In an earnest discus­ sion of the matters-presented by him. The'.session of the afternoon was full of interest and was profitable to all present At 7:30 the meeting was begun in the opera house. According to the pro­ gram the evening was to be devoted.to the interest of the B. Y. P. U. work, Rev. Wm. Templeman, acting presi­ dent, presiding. After reports from the various societies in the associa­ tion, Rev. G. P. Mitchell, of Grand Rapids spoke concerning tbe “Chris­ tian Culture Courses.” 1’be pripeipal address of the evening was delivered by Dr. A.

Some interesting figures as to proportion of farmers' l>oys among college students have been gathered by the American Agriculturist. It hns returns from 178 universities and col­ leges. reporting an attendance of <32.­ 000 students, out of a total of 97,000 In . all the higher educational institutions of the country. In its analysis of tbe figures the Agriculturist reduces the number of students considered to a lit­ tle under 52.000, for some unexplained reason excluding. It says, a few city colleges, like Harvard. Pratt Institute. University of Rochester, Fisk Univer­ sity and others. Out of this total of about 52,000 It finds that nearly 21,000 are from the agricultural classes, or a percentage of 40.2 from the farm. This percentage varies largely in different sections of the country. It Is 50.0 tn the South. 45.8 in tbe fat West, 40.1 in the central. West. 29.4 in tbe Middle States and 29.1 in New England. "In no other nation will any such condi­ tion be found," comments the Agricul­ turist. “It Is a-wonderful tribute to the general Intelligence of our Ameri­ can farmers' families, aud to the high "Hopes and deep aspirations ofthelr sons and daughters. This exhibit mightily to the dignity of agriculture, at least In the eyes of the masses In other voca t Io ns. Ex chan ge. For Pre i»Ihk Fowl*. The tilting table here shown is just big enough to hold a fowl firmly be­ tween the side boards, with Its head or neck down through the opening, so that do blood will get upon tile table or the feathers. The latter can thus be kept clean and sold. Even at a low price, tfie feathers from large flocks make not a little addition to the profit side of the account. This method permits the feathers being saved without any soil­ ing whatever, consequently the highest price Is obtained.—American Agricul­ turist. Cnnrceis>ry Fences. In every wooded country the first Im­ pulse of the farmer when he clears the land of timber is to make much use of It for rails aiql posts to fence tbe farm thoroughly. No doubt for those early times plenty of fences to divide the farm into small fields was a conveni­ ence. It enabled the farmer to pasture his stock without a lowing old and young to herd tog. her. There was more labor In plowli.g and cultivating these small fields, but so much of the work of weed killing was done by hand labor that this did not much matter. That era rather than the present was when "The man with the hoe," as de­ scribed in Mr. Markham’s poem, would best apply to American farm workers. The great Improvement in cultivating aud harvesting machinery has enor­ mously lessened the labor of the farm­ er. One of Its best effects Is doing away with all need for most of the fences that were formerly deemed esaent^l to good farming. . _______ When tn Plow no Orchard. The best time to plow an orchard to In the fall, as a heavy application of stable manure can be applied on the laud and l?ft as a mulch to remain dur­ ing tbe winter. The fronts will disin­ tegrate tbe manure and the soluble •matter will be carried down to tbe ‘ xtnctinc Honey. One very essential thing In extracting honey Is a good sharp honey knife, as a dull knife will break and mutilate the combs. Shave off the cappings as even­ ly as possible so as to keep the combs of a uniform thickness. After remov­ ing tbe capping from both sides of tbe comb place it In the basket or reel of the extractor with the top of the frame to­ ward tbe outside of the extractor. When Ixjth frames are put In ibis'way the ma­ chine wKl run evenly without Jolting or jarring. Re careful to put In .dumbs of equal weight, as near as you can judge, as a light comb.on one side and a heavy one on the other will cause the reel to wabble aud sometimes jump out of the socket. Turn the crank slowly at first If the combs $$e very heavy. Only throw out part of the honey from the first side, then reverse the combs and turn fast enough to throw out all the honey from that side, (hen reverse the combs again and*run the machine fast enough to'tbrow out .all* that remains. A little practice will soon enable any one to tell bow fast to turn the crank; If turned too fast the first, time when the combs are heavy irbrenks the cells.—Farm.

Tbe peach can be grown on heavy soil as well as can the plum, and Is utfEiriy-iHi hardy during winter. The hardiness of the plum stock will not save the peach limbs and buds that have been budded on it, so that if a severe winter came the fruit crop would probably Im? lost either way. Fi> rm Notci. Fresh earth gives poultry great pleas­ ure and plenty to do. Poultry that Is kept busy always pays Its way. A good ration for laying hens must contain nitrogen and phosphate of lliue, and these are more cheaply supplied Ln clover than in any other form. Any farmer who may not be posted as to the use of.fertil&ers should write to bls experiment station, that Is, the experiment station of bls State. These stations are maintained for the purpose of giving farmers just such Informa­ tion. A durable screen for concealing cer­ tain pbrtioas of the premises may be made of gas pipe for the framework and Implanting this in wooden blocks which are firmly set In the ground. Along the framework draw poultry net­ ting and secure It by wrapping with small wire. This screen makes an ad­ mirable support for vines of every de­ scription. If tbe strawberry bed has been over­ run by grass and weeds the best thing to do Is to burn the bed over late in the tall, and next spring tbe strawberry plants will get a good start The weeds and grass will render any strawberry bed useless and unprofitable if some­ thing Is not done to give the strawberry plants an opportunity to get ahead Ln the spring. Mulching will also be servfcesb’e on the bed. nnnopnnn n n fW' n p r p Always Prepared Co do Up Co Date Printing �COUNT! I TEAS - § There is as much difference in teas as t^iere is in people.

Love is the cornu-r-stone of a woman's life. She builds all her hopes upon nd around those tehder affections which she cher­ ishes toward the ones who are dear to her, and which she looks to receive from them in return. This is woman's nature; it is the God­ given instinct that makes her a fond and tender sweetheart; a comforting, helpful wife; an ever-loving, solicitous, care-taking mother. When a woman feels that the responsi­ bilities and duties of wifeliood and moth­ erhood*-have become irksome to her—a burden nnd trouble rather than a source of uplifting and inspiration—it allows that there is some deficiency in her physical make-up? some abnormal and unhealthy condition of the delicate and important special structure of womanhood. ■pecialiM in women’s diseases requesting profes­ sional advice— which he is always glad to send without charge—«nd idling him ot the marvel­ ous Itenefits they hari received from his won­ derful “Favorite Prescription’’ in building up their special heatth and physical energy.

The racket Is the place to find tha latest novelties; The managers of the Barry county fair have been in attendance at the State fpir this week, und succeeded in securing some of the best of the state Jufr attractions for the Barry county fair. Most prominent among these is the grand cyclorama of the Battle of Gettysburg, the magnificent painting which has bc*ji in Chicago for so many years. A big side show of freaks and’euriosities has also been booked, besides numerous other at­ tractions. The Barry county fair is going to oe a hummer tills year, and no mistake. In this issue appears a supplement containing, besides other interesting matter, a program ’ in full of the sjs.fi al sports at the Eaton County Fair. The managers say that 1889 must lead all previous fairs, and we are certainly prepared to say that never before has a more comprehen­ sive and ^interesting program Ixjcn sent out by the hustling managers. At no place on earth, probably, can so muph entertainment be had for so small a price, simply because of the immense attendant e ’ which this fair brings. The vocal and instrumental music art superb, the dog driving a horse most unique, the naval drill unn,. dm, and the special sports most excellent. We advise all our sub­ scribers to read the supplement care­ fully and lie sure to go with the whole family to the Charlotte fair next week. Don’t miss it. It will be the event of a life-time. On account of lack of space this week we are coinjxdled to omit un ex­ cellently prepared article on the sub­ ject of "Reading Circle Work.’’writ­ ten by Country School Commissioner John C.

It is especially desired that all the sports advertised by the Eaton Gounty Fair, that is to be held next week at. Charlotte, be contested. It wouldn't be .complimentary to the iiersou offering a prize if such prize should attract no con­ test. For instance take the trick bicycle riding, in which there are five prizes. The general contest will no doubt draw entries, but the modest Eaton County lad under 12 years might conclude that his degree of proficiency is not such as to entitle him to compete. No matter how little you can do, do tluit little well and if no one does better you will earn some money very easily. And what is true of trick riding is true of all thv sports. We want a contest at every point where of­ fers are made for them. Don’t be afraid some one will laugh. Ten to one those who laugh loudest would be glad to get the prize you win. w , To this end the managers iiave planned for a greater change of prognun, from any before Jiad, than has been known'in the liistory of our flourishing society. Of course the fair proper, the agricul­ tural and.general exhibits, will partake of a Huuc-uwft one year with another. So. coo, it goes without saying that such r-ruds of speed as are shown in horse races und bicycle races will be. continued until human nature, as at present constituted, lias a marvelous cluinge.

He had expected this, aud had expected to tell to his beloved comrade the story of hi» meeting with the two noble ehampious of liberty—the marquis and the barou—at the ririeftaln’s headquarters: but he bad almost forgotten that meeting, at least for the present; and, when he had s-at.-’d himself before the fire, he told the ntory'of the two miscreant* he had encountered in the thicket. The lieuten­ ant listened with breathless attention, 4nd hta words of indignation at its con•dusion need n«t be transcribed. They •were to the point, however, and were de­ livered with a True, soldierly heartiness that could unt. under the circumstances, have offended a prelate. “And ‘you have left the bodies where they fell?" lie queried, whdn he had galtted breath. "Yes. Douglas: and 1 have been thinkdug what 1 shall do. At the present mo­ ment you and I are the only two who •know of tl»e matter, and I think we had better, if possible, hold the secret awhile. Let it once get wind, and it would fly through tile camp like wildfire, and then, if there are accomplices within our lines, they will take the alarm." “I understand. Captain: and. I faith, you are right. We will keep this thing hushed fur a day or two, and let the pro­ vost keep watch." "Exactly. Douglas: and thia ta what we will do—you know the path?” “Then. do you call up two of our most trusty men—say. Sergeant Knox and Corporal Blood—and go with them to the •pot. You will find it about midway in the thicket. Wrap tlfe bodlps in horse blanket*, and let our men take them •upon their saddlo-bowa, and bring them directly to the hospital. 1 wilf. meantime, arouse Dr. Rush, and have him ready to receive them. Once in his hands., he •can hold them secret as long as he •pleases." "It shall be done.* Captain: and I supg>o»e we ctfnnot be too expeditious." •"Hurry is’ the word, Douglas." The lieqtonant went to the hut of the non-commissioned officers, where he call­ ed up the two men designated, and ere long the three were mounted and on their way.

Seaton found Dr. Rush up, and when be had told his story, the good man was ready to assist him in any way. “You were wise to come to me," the doctor said. "There may be some deep plot behind all this, aud the only way to get nt it is to keep secret. If these villains had accomplice* in our camp, we may find them if we keep our own coun­ sel.

Dougins and his as­ sistants had found the bodies of the two dead wretches, and. without observation, had wrapped them up for transportation. The commissioned officers of Seaton’s cavalry had unobstructed pass, with the countersign, throughout the camp, by night or day, so our lieutenant had uo difficulty in reaching the surgeon gen­ eral’s quarters with the secret of "hta charge Intact. Dr. Rush led the way to a small oper­ ating room, where the liodies wore placed upon a table, and the door secured. Then candle* were brought, and the faces ex­ posed. They were hard, resolute looking faces, with skin* dark, and the hair black and coarse’and straight. . "There’s Indinn blood in those men,” •aid Douglas, with decision. "Or responded Rush, "before Beatotrlet it out. Yes,” he added.-em­ phatically. "they are two half-breeds, and of the Huron stock.

"What is It* Sergeant?" “CoL Dunning wishes to see you at his quarters, sir, as soon as you can make it convenient.” “Something relating to the prisoners I brought in, I suppose?” “I think ao, Captain." As the station of the provost was full three-quarters of a mile from Seaton’s quarters, he called for Lis horse, and having given hta directions to hta first lieutenant, he started off. He thought, as he rode, that he should kill two birds with one stone. He would answer the provost's call, and at the same time broach the matter of spies in the camp.

Trafalgar, square. I>ondou, *wms the acene Sunday bf a meetiog which will be­ come historic as showing the strong drift of the masses in England toward war. A. peace demonstration had been advertised to be held in the square, where Nelson an the top of hta monument ba* looked | down on many a gathering significant of popular opinion when the tide of. feeling 1 runs high. The leader* of the peace party were to make one list, supreme effort and demonstration to influence public opinion. The radical press during the past week gave conspicuous place to no­ tices of the coming meeting, while the other paper* were- ominously silent, though a suggestion was dropped that a counter demonstration was not unlikely. Acting upon this hint, Britons of both persuasions were present Sunday, but, as events soon showed conclusively, the war party was overwhelming^ in the ascend­ ant. Only one speaker essayed to plead for peace. What he sifld is matter of conjecture, as no sooner had he begun than on the outskirts of the crowd of 50,OOQ people some one started "Rule Brit­ annia." The chorus soon rolled over the square and swallowed up all other sounds. Nevertheless the speaker continued his address with an earnestness and determi­ nation fully as British as that of hia hos­ tile audience, but not long. Soon mis­ sile* of various kinds—decayed apples, aged eggs and whatever else came handy —hurtled through the'air; rushes were made upon the stand, soldier* who hap­ pened to be present were carried on the thoulders of the crowd and only the ap­ pearance aud prompt action of mounted police enabled th’e speaker and hta friends ■ to escape with their live*. What was in­ tended to be a protest against the drift ot events toward war was turned into a demonstration that showed unmistakably that-the tide of English feeling now runs too high in the Transvaal affair to be stayed by public discussion. . Not only from the Trafalgar square meeting, but from the general tone of the English press and of the people, wherever the latter have given expression to their views, It is clear that the nation ta back of Salisbury and Chamberfain and that it is only among scholarly states­ men such as Morley, or writer* such as Frederic Harrison, that peace finds advo­ cate*.

Celebration of the Seventy-fifth < ani­ The diamond jubilee of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows was recently cele­ brated in Detroit. A public welcome was extended at the Detroit Opera House by Mayor Maybury and Michigan Odd Fel­ low officials. Representatives from every State and territory and the Canadian provinces were present. Alfred S. Pink­ erton, grand sire, responded to the wel­ comes, after which the sovereign grand ledge representatives proceeded to Hnrmouie Hall, where the first business ses­ sion was held. It was estiuAted that 10.000 persons connected with the various divisions of Odd Fellows were in the city. The pass­ ing in review of 4,500 Odd Fellows and their sisters of the Rebekah order was the finest and largest procession seen in Detroit since the great G. A. IL parade in 1800. Fully a score of bands furnish­ ed the music. Brig. Gen. Martin, commander of the Michigan department of the Patriarchs Militant, led 1,000 members of the mili­ tary branch of Odd Fellowship, all In full uniform, carrying drawn swords. Ohio sent six cantons of patriarchs, Indiana three, New York three, Pennsylvania three, Massachusetts three, Michigan three and St. Thomas. Ont., one. Lodges vied with each other as to turn­ ing out the greater number of men uni­ formed in some striking manner. The representatives of the sovereign grand lodge occupied respective carriages, de­ signed by shields hung thereon, bearing the names of the States the occupants represented. Propositions to make membership in both the Patriarchs Militapt and grand encampment compulsory for representa­ tives of the sovereign grand lodgtf were defeated In the session of the sovereign grand lodge. A proposition to hold bien­ nial sessions instead of annual was also voted down. Richmond, Va., was chosen as the place of meeting in 1Q00. LAKE CRAFT IN PERIL. Vessels Caught in I he Storm Have Hard Chicago was the center Sunday of a storm area whose strange influences made night of early afternoon and trans­ formed Lake Michigan from Evanston to South Chicago into a sea almost as troubled as the Atlantic off the dreaded Hatteras during the autumn gales. The wind attained a velocity of forty-seven miles an hour and wrought havoc with pleasure craft in the harbor and along the shore. A number of yachts were capsized in the basin. The life-saving rrews were kept busy afternoon and even­ ing answering signals of distress and go­ ing to the assistance of imperiled boat­ men. Two cars on the Brooklyn, N. Y., ele­ vated railroad were burned while on the way to Coney Island. The cars were fill­ ed with passengers. The fuse in the motor blew out, which fired the cars.

WHEFTF The State Board of Education has adopted the following new rules: College certificates: Ail applicants for a renewal of a four-year college certificate shall be required to present such application In person at the regular meetings of the board, held in Ypsilanti an the last Fri­ day of September and April, or at Lan­ sing at the time of the meeting of the State Teacher*’- Association hi December. All application* for renewals should be sent to the secretary at least thirty day* previous to the date of the meeting, and such application should be accompanied by the original certificate and testimo­ nials concerning the applicant'* ability and success a* a teacher, from the county commissioner of schools, the superintend­ ent of schools under whom such applicant has taught, and also by a statement sign­ ed by a majority of each school board where such applicant has taught, that hta work as a teacher was satisfactory. The law requires at least three year* of «DCcessfnl teaching before renewals are granted. Indorsement* of certificate* and diplomas granted in other State*. The above rules for renewals apply with equal force to application* for indoreameats of certificates — - -------and diploma* granfhd in other State*. No appli­ cation will be considered except at the April, September or December meet­ ings, as above. No indorsement of cer­ tificates or diploma* from any State will be made unless the *ame courtesy is ac­ corded the teacher* of Michigan by the proper authority in such State. The Supreme Court’s decision in the sidewalk damage suit of Harriet Jackson against the city of Lansing is of impor­ tance to all cities and villages- in the . State where there are cement or artifi­ cial stone walks. The facts stipulated were that while walk^g on the sidewalk on the principal business street of the city, the woman was injured by stepping into a hole in the artificial stone walk, the hole being caused by the breaking out of the top coating of cement and the wear of the grouting, not, however, going through the grouting, the depression be­ ing from one and one-half to two feet in area. The Supreme Court says that mu­ nicipalities are not required to keep such walks iff a perfectly safe condition, and holds that the defect stipulated in this case was not one that rendered the walk not reasonably safe within the meaning of the statute. The barbers’ license law has become effective, although its enforcement will not be attempted until the expiration of ninety days. The barber will be allowed that time in which to provide himself with a certificate. Charles Rieger, secre­ tary of the State board of examiners, says an effort will be made within the prescribed period to provide every eligi­ ble barber in Michigan with a blank ap-z plication to be filled out and returned with a fee of $1. After that the board will meet at different points in tha State, whenever occasion warrants, to examine candidates for statutory recognition. Such examination, however, will cost $5. To be eligible, the applicant must have served at least two years in the business. The statute creating the State tax com­ mission is silent regarding compensation tor information furnished by county treasurers and registers of deeds, and many officials have refused to furnish such information gratis. The Supreme Court has just passed upon this question in the case of County Clerk Gardner of Newaygo vs. the County Supervisors. He brought in a bill of $40 against the Supervisors for doing work outside of his official duties for the State tax sta­ tistician. The court says there is no law compelling the Supervisors to pay for it and that he cannot be compelled to furnuh such information to State offi­ cials. There is a hitch in the organization of the new State veterinary board, which only Gov. Pingree can straighten out. The law provides that do two member* of the board shall be graduates of the same college, but Gov. Pingree overlooked this provision when he appointed Dr. W. W. Thorburn of Lansing and Clarence W. Stowe of Saginaw, both of whom are graduates of the Toronto veterinary col­ lege. ‘ Until the Governor corrects his error, the board cannot organize for bus­ iness. An opinion handed down by the Su­ preme Court holds that it is not in vio­ lation of the Michigan statutes to color oleomargarine with a perfectly harmless substance. The case was brought into court by State Dairy and Food Commis­ sioner Grosvenor, who contended that the act entitled “An act to prevent adultera­ tion. fraud and deception in the manufac­ ture and sale of oleomargarine" was broad enough to prevent coloring. The court’s decision is a big victory for oleo­ margarine manufacturers. Secretary of State Steam* has com­ menced the distribution of the public act* of 1809 amora official* entitled to them.

Dewey without hta coat tails, which had been shot away: Bnd spontaneously enthusiastic in whole history of human pageantry. _ J was an outpouring of‘the popular heart and affection for the nation’s hero and the world’s greatest naval captain, and throughout the broad domain of the Unit­ ed State*, from his own native rock-rib­ bed New England to the sand* of the Golden Gate, from semi-tropical Gulf,to almost afctic snows, the people of every creed and color joined in tbe spirit of New York’s reception to tbe victor of Manila bay. Admiral George Dewey is worthy that reception.* He proved himself fighter when fighting was to be done and ekeved hia name by tbe side of Farrayut, Barry * and Jones in fame’s eter­ nal temple. Ho proved himself a states­ man, discreet, diplomatic, dignified, dur­ ing the crucial days following the battle of Cavite,, wMn indiscretion might jeop­ ardise what had been won and lead to unknown dangers. And at ajl times and under all circumstances he him proved himself an American gentleman. From that May day, in 1898, when the news of his superb victory over the Span­ ish fleet in Manila harbor electrified the nation, causing many people at first to question its accuracy so astonishingly complete wun it, Dewey’s name has been Oftenest on American lips and-his fame has been enshrined in the national heart. He became the hero, the idol of more than TO.OoO.OUO people, nnd from that moment to the present he has not omitted or committed one act. the omission or commission of which dimmed one ray of his glory. He has mnintaiued bis mod­ est composure even while the world unit­ ed to swell hi* praises. The greetings tendered him at the various visiting ports on hl* return voyage wrought no change in the fine fabric, of the man and he came back to ah almost worshipful people the same in gentlemanly character as he sailed away, free from the infiation of i pomp and pride. It is no wonder that the American people should take and carefully note in memory whatever is illustrative of his character. And thus the -writer turns from the pomp of the great reception in I New York to the antecedents of Dewey, to trace along the lines of his develop­ ment the influences and the characteris­ tics that combined to make the victor of' Manila and the idol of America. COMES OF FIGHTING BLOOD. Popular Idol. Admiral. George Dewey comes from a fighting stock. There have been Dewey fighters In every American war since Thomas Dewey, the founder of the fam­ ily in this country, built his cottage in Dorcester. Moss., in. 1633. This pioneer Dewey of the New World was bora in Sandwich, England. In the revolution- southern Vermont who adjourned church service to fight with the gallant Stark againm the Hessian* at the battle of Bennington, and who then returned nnd completed hia sermon. There was a Corporal Dewey who took part in the first skirmish at Ix*xington. All told, the Deweys furnished twenty-four sol­ diers in the revolutionary war. In the wa- of 1812 there were thirteen Deweys who aided in defense of the flag. . By the time the civil war broke out the Dewey name was widely extended. Two dozen Deweys fought among the boys in blue from old Vermont. One Massachu­ setts regiment contained six Deweys and was commanded by a relative of Admiral Dewey's mother. Admiral Dewey him-, self won l|.igh honor* under Farragut nnd his brother Edward entered the war a private and came out a captain. In Illi­ nois seventy men bearing the Dewey nam^enrrft'd the Union ranks. On the maternal side Admiral Dewey Is related to the Porter family, which gave two naval captains td the nation. In the war with Spain one of the ad­ miral's brothers sent his two sons to the front and the son of the other volunteer­ ed, but got no opportunity to sene, ns Vermont's quota was already filled. And the Vermont regiment, by the way. was commanded by a cousin of the family. Au Early Anecdote. There are many anecdote* toid of George Dewey in those far-off days in Vermont, long ere the future admiral dreamed of the stern realities of life. He had a temper that had a habit of asaerting itself and that caused good Dr. Dewey considerable worry. He was a leader among bis companions in all kinds of childish pranks and was a fighter. In fact hb combativcneaa was always pro­ nounced. Once in his father's buggy he set out with a companion to bring home the cow*. They found tbe ford over tbe Dog river, which enters the Winooski near Montpelier, impassable. Against the ad­ vice of his companion, George drove into the rushing stream. The top of the buggy was carried away and the lads only saved themaatvM by .getting on tbe horse’s back. When George returned home his father was away and the youngster’s innate sense of tactics prompted him to go to bed. The father soon afterward made his appearance in George’s chamber and began chiding him for his rashness. From the dep'bs of the bedclothes came this childish appeal: "You ought to be thank­ ful that uiy life was spared." The good doctor turned away without another word. At 15 young Dewey weut to the Nor­ wich Military Academy, and it waa while there he conceived a taste for military life and expressed a desire to go to An- that institution in the claw of ’54. Young Dewey was graduated in 1S58. tbe Mediterranean on tbe Wabash, with Captain Barron of Virginia, who after ward joined the Confederate navy. In 1860 he returned to Annapolis to be ex­ amined for his commission, and showed hta ability by leading his fellows. IN THE CIVIL WAR. the Dewey was at home in Montpelier when Sumter was fired upon. One week afterward* be secured his commission as a lieutenant and was ordered to the steam sloop Mississippi of the West Gulf squad­ ron, It will be remembered that Farra­ gut rataetLbls flag over this fleet in Feb­ ruary, 1862. The Mississippi was the only side-wheeler of the lot. Command­ er Melancthon Smith was her captain and Dewey was her first lieutenant. Early in April the larger ships, the Mis­ sissippi among them, were unloaded and hauled over the bar. and by the night of tbe 23d the squadron was ready for tin* business of running past the-formidable batteries of St. Philip and Jackson, ready to conquer the Confederate fleet beyond Fprragut divided his ships into'two di­ visions. Captain Cheodorus Bailey had command of. that going first, and the Mississippi was the Jhird in his line. Decks were whitewashed, no lights were showing, and the night was inky black save for the lurid red of an occasional Confederate* fire. The big ship, having ti speed of only eight knot*, hugged the shore to avoid tbe swift current. On, on they steamed, a slow, stately procession that knew no check, until the flames of’ the broadside guns leaped into the very ports of the batteries and the shot struck in midair. So close were they that the pnnners hurled curses at each other across the narrow space of black water. On the high bridge of tbe side-wheeler, in the midst of belching smoke and flame, stood Dewey, guiding the Mississippi as calmly as though he were going up New York bay on a still afternoon in Indian sum­ mer. He was a perfect master of him­ self. "Do you know the channel, Dewey?” Captain Smith asked anxiously and more than once as he paced from port to star­ board. Tbe lieutenant was very young, only 24, and the situation would have tried a veteran. “Yes. sir,” replied Dewey with confi­ dence each time. But he admitted after­ ward that he expected to ground every moment. * This is how Chief Engineer Baird, U. S. N., who was there, remembers him: “I can see him now in the red and yel­ low glare flung from the cannon-mouths. It was like some terrible thunder storm with .almost Incessant lightning. For an instant all would be dark and Dewey un­ seen. Then the forts would belch forth, nnd there he was away up in the midst of it, the flames.from the guns almost touching him and the big shot and shell passing near enough to him to blow him over with their breath, while he held firm­ ly to the bridge rail. Every time the dark came back 1 felt sure that we would never sec Dewey again. • But nt the next flash there he stood. His hat was blown off and his eyes were aflame. But he gave his orders with the air of a man in thorough command of himself. He took in everything. He saw a point of advan­ tage and seised it at once. And when from around the bull of the Pensacola the ram darted, Dewey like a flash saw what was best to be done, and as the ram came up alongside tbe entire starboard broadside plunged a mass of iron shat and shell through her armor and she t>egan to sink. Her crew ran her ashore and escaped. A boat’s crew from our ship went on board, thinking to extinguish the flames which our broadside had start­ ed and capture her. But she was too far gone. Dewey took us all through the fight, and in a manner which won the warmest praise, not only of all on beard, but of Farragut himself. He was cool from first to last, and after we bnd passed tbe fort and reached safety and he came down from the bridge his face was black with smoke, but there wavi’t a drop-of perspiration on his brow.” Things began to go wrong on the river a year later and Faragut once more ran up from tbe gulf to adjust them. Port Hudson shoals. gud currents are among the-most dangerous in the stream, and it was while running the foru here that the Miutasippi was lost. The Hartford and Alabama led, then came tbe Mononga­ hela and Kineo. the Richmond, and Gen­ esee, followed by the Mississippi alone. The Monongahela and her consort both' grounded, though they both managed to get off. But directly opposite the center of Pon Hudson battery the Mississippi stuck hard and fast. Shot after shot wan poured into her until her hull waa rid­ dled and she had to be abandoned. Hhe was bit 230 times in half an hour. The officers who took the first boats never re­ turned. and so the task of getting the. men to safety devolved upon Lieut. Dew­ ey. Twice he went to the Richmond and twice came back until be and Captain Smith stood alone on the deck. Tbe ship was afire in five places.

Secretary of State Stearns has been advised that the census authorities at Washington have pronounced the' Michigan registration system an ad­ mirable one. They -have found by through investigation, after corres­ pondence with all towns of 500 and upwards of population in the state, that the system is applied and admin­ istered by local officers with great uniformity. Michigan has thus at­ tained the rank of a registration state in common with such states as Mass­ achusetts, New York, New Jersey. Connecticut and other leading states of the east. The mortality statistics for Michigan under the census will be compiled from records filed in the state department, under the Michigan law. instead of collecting the data by enumerators as heretofore.

Read the advt. on fourth page. A live grasshopper will ent a dead grasshopper. A Missouri farmer mix­ ed paris green and bran and let a grasshopper eat it. He died. Twenty ate him up.. They died. Four ‘hun­ dred ate those twenty up, and they died. Eight thousand ate those four hundred and they died. A hundred und sixty thousand ate those eight thousand, and died, and the farmer was troubled no more. In its flight from the far west the name of the stat.isticun of this story has become sepa­ rate from hisffigures, but the fact that the incident occurred in Missouri is regarded as evidence of it* possibility. It is a mistake to labor when you are-not in a fit condition to do so. To think that the more a person eats the healthier and stronger he will become. To go to bed at midnight and rise at daybreak und imagine that every hour taken from sleep is an hour gained. To imagine that as a little work or exercise is good, violent or prolonged exercise is better. To conclude that the smallest room in the house is large enough to sleep in. To eat as if you had only a minute to finish the meal in, or to eat without an appetite, or continue after it has been satisfied, merely to gratify the taste. To be­ lieve that the more hours children study the more they learn. A prominent merchant declares that • the money- spent for advertising is the same- as if placed at interest.” says the Philadelphia Record. This is the proper view to be taken of ad­ vertisements placed in a.popular news­ paper like The News. Not only are there valuable returns .resulting from profits in wares which may be specified in the merchant’s announcement-, but tlie additional sales made extend and more firmly establish the advertiser’s trade. Thus this ’ great medium of communication with the public enables the tradesman to enlarge his sphere of operations, and as a natural conse­ quence to assume an important stand­ ing in the commercial world. The re­ turns for a merchant’s outlay in adT vertlsing far exceed in value the in­ terest that would be received on the amount of money so ex]>ended.

I have a fsint recollection of Earing seen some such thing." “Aye, to be sure, my boy.” cried Kuril, excitedly—for he «aw that Seaton had gained important intelligence— “and ■ prodigfbu* *car it was, evidently made by ■ tomahawk. But what hare you found T* ♦ "I have found that the gentleman with the scar over his eye is Sir. Wolf-tooth, a near friend and confidant of Sir Wil­ liam Howe, and that the other .dusky adventurer was Master Wolf-tooth's part­ ner in husines*. In short, my dear Doc­ tor. 1 know all about it. Sit down and I will tell you.” They sat down aud Seaton told the story. whereat the doctor was greatly amazed. and very much pleased. It not only lifted a load from his shoulders, but it removed a greater load from his mind, for he had feared that there might be still further hidden danger to his young and valued friend. Before'noon the attempt upon Capt. Seaton's life became known throughout the camp, ami those who could gain per­ mission went to the provost's quarters to look upon the dead Hurons, the liodies having been turned over to that bBiccr-i department. There was no need that our hero should expose the name of his personal enemy, for reason enough for the dastardly attempt wa* found in the gallant captain's successful raid* among the enemy's friends and supporter*. No one could tell how or when Jhe two skulkers had come into camp. A rigid in­ vestigation was held, but to no further purpose than the pointing out of two or three possible passes which bad not here­ tofore been particularly guarded. Extra -sentinel* were posted, and new and more stringent order* were issued for the gov­ ernment of the officers of the guard. During the next three weeks Captain Seaton, with hi* command, made two more excursions into the country, bring­ ing back to camp needed provisions of various kiipls. On Sunday, the first day of March, a messenger arrived in camp with a mail Ifiag, having come across the country from xrenton. Late in the day an orderly from headquarter* entered Seaton^* hut. “A letter for you. Captain; and one for you, Lieut. Dougins." “So my brother has found post, at length." said the lieutenant, a* he glanc­ ed at the superscription of the mimdve he had received. And then he sat down to read the news from home. Seaton hnd recognized upon his packet the hand of Patience Angell. He turned hi* back to his companions before he broke the seal. A letter from Patience, and, within, one from Lillian! He press­ ed the lattiv missive to his lips, nnd then laid it away next to his heart While he turned to the former. At the first glance a half-smothered exclamation broke from hi* lip*. "Not bad new*. I trust, Captain?” "Not to me. good Douglas, but to the loved ones away. News of my death ha* reached Philadelphia." "Aye,” cried the lieutenant, "and be sure the most profound wish was father to the thought of those who gave the in­ telligence. But never mind. We know what we know. The British cannot bold Philadelphia forever; and when they afe gone, Captain Robert Seaton shall appear to the dear ones, none the worse for the very kind attentions of bi* English friends." Below the address upon the outside of Patience's letter, nnd as a part of the superscription, wa* written: "If Captain-Robert Seaton is dead, will the officer in command of his company burn this without opening it, nnd ask Mr. IsumTj^s to communicate the same to PntHRffTv Angell of Philadelphia, if.he can possibly do *o?" Robert hnd not particularly noticed thi* foot note of the superscription, at first—he had been too anxious to know if there was an inclosurp within from the loved one. The letter was as follows: "Philadelphia, Feb. 12. 1778. "Dear Robert—As 1 write thia I know not whether you nre alive or dead. Our enemies publicly boast that Captain Rob­ ert Seaton, the Rebel cavalry leader, ha* been slain by the king's troops; but I do not wish to believe it. I tell Lillian, whose heart is breaking, that it cannot be. And yet. I ought not to tell her so. Better, perhaps, for her, that she should think you dead. My dear, brave boy, - your country may be all that is left for you to hopefully love. Lillian is en*laved, nnd, I fear, must marry with an Eng­ lish nobleman to please her father. The man ia an earl, aud Jacob Eastcourt has ■worn that Lillian shall become hi* wife. I see flot how it Is to be helped. (Pa­ tience here give* a detail of business matters, and then conclude*:) Your heart will not break. The active duties of your office, and the stirring scenes of a sol­ dier's life, will. I trust, lift your mind above useless repining. Lillian has writ­ ten a line, which I inclose. God grant that this may find you alive and well. If jrou live, let me hear from you as soon as you can. Mr. Pou*, the Quaker preach­ er, ha* a means of forwarding small par­ cel* to Philadelphia. "PATIENCE ANGELL." Seaton next opened Lillian'* letter. It was written in a tremulous band, and there were great stains upon the page where tears bad fallen. It was without ■date, and was a* follows: "My Own—My Darling: Do I call you •o for the last time? Q! my poor heart! They tell me you are dead. I cannot yet believe it. It is too horrible. There ha* been no battle. But—O! -have they mur­ dered you? I have dreamed the awful thing twice. God have mercy, if men hare been so wicked! Darling, I know not what is In the future. If you are no longer living, I wish to die; for if I knew you were dead, I might have strength no more to hold out against those who would fetter me with bonds galling and fearful. Can you not make to me some *ign? Can you not write? O! if you live, let me have the blessed as­ surance! God keep you, dsrling! • • • • "LILLIAN.* Robert Seston read the letrt a Second time, and then folded It. and put it away against bi* painfully throbbing heart. He could not think in that place, with his comrades near him. He knew that he had their keenest sympathies, but he could not expose to them this great ag­ ony. . He armie and put on his bat and cloak nnd went out into the open, frosty him. When fully assured that no human eye was upon him. he convulsively clasp­ ed his hands and raised them toward hearen<"Great God of mercy! hear me in this hour, I humbly beseech Thee! O! let the bitter cup pass from me! Have compas­ sion on my great love! Save me—O! save me from despair!” Then he bowed his bead, and stood for a long time in silent meditation; and when the paroxysm had passed and he could control his emotions, be paced to and fro while he considered. That old dread of the English earl had not been an empty phantasy. If be could not convey to Lillian intelligence of the fact that he*was alive, she might bi- forced into the, marriage upon which her father had set* his heart, aud be lost to him forever! That was the only point—intelligence to Lillian. He could not lose her. She was the one bright star ot his life—tiTe one object In which all his hopes of future earthly joy were cen­ tered. He would not flinch from the Patriot's duty. He could die. If need be. He had no fears of honorable death. But the losing of his dear love seemed worse than death—a life forever shattered, joy­ less, a’nd desolate! He could not bear It —he would not, If It lay in his power to cast the burden off. First, his Country —next, Lillian. For eighteen long months he had heUl his life in his hand—had fought and worked and suffered for hl* country, Might he not now honorably: give one*poor week to Jillian? When he returned to his quarters he trod the frozen earth like a man of Iron. Each step was an emphasis upon his de­ termination, and there was no shadow of faltering upon bls face. He eat his sup­ per. and had arisen for his hat, when Captain Harry Lee entered. The face of the gallant Virginian wps flushed, and his bright eyes glanced. "Where now. Seaton?" •'I am going up to see Mr. Pott*. I must, if possible, send a leter to Phila­ delphia.” “You must put it’ off for a short bit, my dear fellow. 1 have a better thing than letter writing. I am just from head­ quarters with orders. The adjutant gen­ eral sent dowu here half an hour ago, but you wore absent. Hark ye: Our Delaware scouts hare come in, and bring information, reliable and circumstantial, that an immense provision train is on its way from the Lehigh Valley to Philadel­ phia. bearing all sorts of good things for the larders of the British. There are forty heavy wagons, guarded by a com­ pany of English dragoons and n strong detachment of Hessians. Washington wants those wagons, with their precious content*, and he bids you and me go and capture them. We uro to set forth at once. The scouts will guide us, and we can intercept the’ train as early In the morning ns we please. We shall have a right gallant opportunity.” Had a man told him, half an hour be­ fore, that he was to be ordered upon such a mission at the present time, Sea­ ton's heart would have sank within him; but now, under the magic of Harry Lee’s inspiring voice, and with the work clearly before him, he grasped the opportunity. He might have a favor, by and by, to ask of the commander-in-chief. Success on this mission would dot lessen the pros­ pects of a favorable answer. •­ “Dear Harry. I could have wished that thi* call hnd come at another time, but I am with you. Let your bugle sound the summons as soon as you please—my men shall be in their saddles!" “Good! We will be ready in an hour. We’ll find food for our horses on the Robert Seaton had been called in a great many emergencies—bad been called unexpectedly—and had always gone forth, as his comrades knew, cheerfully and dauntlessly, though be went ipto deadly peril every time; but never before had he entered the battle path with just such feelings as now possessed him. The man of iron, who bad walked to the but at close of day, was still present If he was Dot so cheerful as was his wont be was sufficiently eager and fiery to Inspire his men ns he had never inspired them. Deep down in the soul of the youthful chief was a stern resolve that he would do or die. He bad often before entered battle with the same resolve, but never with the triple-tempered steel of despera­ tion shutting out all care for life, and only inviting mortal danger, as was naw the rance to reconnoitre. At a farm house, which came conveniently Id their way. they halted to re«t and feed their horse*. Lee offered to pay for the provender, but the sturdy husbandman, with two son* In the Patriot army, when he knew- the object of the expedition, refused the prof­ fered money. If hi* humble contribution could help the cause of his country, he wa* content. The order had just been given to mount, when the' outriding Delaware came da*hing up with information that the train was coming down the middle road. “Ho!" cried Seaton, springing ipto his saddle, “they hope to reach their line* be­ fore morning. They *erve us well!" Having gained what information th* scout had to give, Lieut. Dougia*, who knew the Country well, very quickly de­ cided upon the point where the enemy could be srtudk most advantageously, and under hi* lead, with Seaton’s troop in advance, the column pushed on. The Delaware reported a full company of dragoons, and more than' * hundred Hewlan infantry, in guard over the train, and he judged from the pacing of the horse*, that they ba'd been rested and fed at midnight. The dragoons were in the van, with the infantry following the wagons when they could not march upon the flank*. * It. wa* three o'dock by our hero's watch when Douglas espied the head of the British column. "Seaton," cried Lse, drawing his sword, “will you attack in front?" "Theh I-will sweep around to the rear and' close the trap. I need not caution you to make your firat blow a-crushing one. Forward!” • Never did .the very perfection of mili­ tary drill and training manifest itself more emphatically than on the present occasion. Like cne man Seaton’s troop dashed upon the English dragoons, while like one other man the troop of Harry Lee swept around to the.rear of the long, lumbering train, striking the surprised Hessian* like a tornado. The conflict was sharp and short. Sea­ ton had by far the most fighting to do. and he was equal to it. As though as­ sured of a charmed life, cased in a body of triple steel,' he plunged forward, shouting in trumpet tones to his men, and cutting down everything that oppos­ ed him. A score ot pistol shot* were dis­ charged in hi* face without wounding him, and the sabre-strokes aimed at his head glanced off harmless upon hl* trenchant Toledo blade'., His devoted men saw and admired, and pressed stanchly to hl* support. In fifteen minutes Lee had overcome and captured the Hessian*, and in five minutes more the dragoons surrendered, the major, in command, faint and bleed­ ing. delivering his .sword to Captain Sea­ ton. The loss of life had not been great. Lee had lost three men, and Beaton had lost only two. A few were wounded. Of the enemy twenty had been killed out­ right, and quite a number wounded. The dead and wounded were placed upon the wagons, and the prisoner*, to the number of a 107, were placed under a sufficient guard, with Lieut. Douglas in Immedi­ ate charge. And thus the victorious Pat­ riot* set out upon their return. At the dwelling of the liberty-loving farmer they halted to let hi* eyes behold the result; and the good man felt himself amply repaid. By the middle of/the forenoon on the day following, the expedition marched into camp: and when the forty great wagons were seen, heavily laden with needed provision*, and when it was also seen that a goodly battalion of British troop* had been captured, the .welkin rang until it seemed ready to split. Even the women who were gathered at head­ quarter*. with Lady Washington at their head, seeing not the dead and the wound­ ed, came out and joined in the jubilation. In the afternoon general order* were published, which gave to the officers con­ cerned most grateful emotion*, and which made the rank and file of the squadron feel doubly repaid for their labor. They were heroes indeed. On the evening of that day Captain Seaton called upon Mr. Pott*, the owner of the house where the chieftain dwelt, and asked if it would be possible to get a letter through to Philadelphia within a few days. • The old Quaker shook hi* head. He had sent letter* through to patriotic fam­ ilies in that city, but the old avenue hnd been closed to him. He knew not when he might find another. • . Our hero then sat down and wrote a note to Gen. Washington, respectfully asking if he could have an Interview with his commander-in-chief on a strictly per­ sonal matter. than half an hour an orderly appeared, and summoned our captain to the chieftain's presence. He found Wash­ ington alone, and wa* received with cor­ dial frankness. "General. I came to crave a boon. Be­ tween me and y6ur august self there I* no intermediate commander, save Harry Lee. He favor* my request. I would like a leave of absence for two weeks." "Is it necessary. Captain?" "To me. General, it Is more than a matter'of life and death. I only ask for two weeks; and I would not ask that, were I not assured that I should leave an officer nt the head of my command in every way worthy and competent.” "Aye, I know Roderic Douglas well. But, Captain, you are going into dan­ ger’?’ "I hare counted carefully the cost, your excellency, and I shall be circumspect.” "And if we should lose you?” “For eighteen hard month*, General, my life has been my country’s, and, aa you know, she has been welcome to it* sacrifice upon the altar of duty at any moment. For two short weeks, I pray you, let it be mine!” "Captain Seaton!” cried Washington, grasping the band of the gallant youth, "I owe you much, and I will not refuse this request. When do you wish to set forth?" "Immediately." “Before morning?*.’ “Yes, General. Every hour bear* upon me a* though freighted with the weal or woe of a lifetime.” “Come to me in half an hour, and your paper* shall be ready." And thereupon Washington dismissed the captain, and" sent for hi* adjutant general. (To be continued.) In truth, our hero was in an abnormal state. He had set his life upon the haz­ ard of a die before the call of this ex­ pedition had come. He had resolved upon a venture as much more fraught with danger than the present, as the present was more dangerbus tljan the quiet sleep of a well-guarded camp. Aye—and in that fearful venture, should his life be sacrificed, it would not be upon the altar of.his country! He had been made to feel, within the last hour, that there were conditions of life far worse than death. At au early hour in the evening the two companies of cavalry were drawn up in column for marching, with two faith­ ful guides in advance. . These guides were Delaware Indians, tried and true, and had been furnished by the chief sa­ chem of that tribe, Koquetbagaeehlon, better known in history as Captain White-Byes. He was a steadfast friend to the Patriots, and an active and ar­ Copyright dent supporter of their cause.

Columbia had overtaken, pass­ ed her, and had rounded the stakeboat two minutes ahead. On the run home. Shamrock, by tine handling and good luck, had overtaken Columbia, had gained the lead, lust it again, and gained and lost it again.

The total number of acres of wheat on the grofind last April, as returned by the supervisors, was 1,914,941. According to reports received from crop correspondents, 77 percent, of these acres or 1,408,131 were harvested. The final estimated vield per acre for the num be" of acres harvested Is eight bushels for the state. This would make the total es­ timated yield 12,001,000 bushels. The Acreage of u heat sown this fall, as compared with an average is 88 per cent. The estimated yield of oats per acre is thirty-three bushels: corn, thirty*onu bushels; potatoes, sixty­ eight bushels, aud beans, twelve bush­ els. The total acreage Of buck­ wheat is 24.5V1. and the average yield per acre is eleven bushels for the state.

According to information from Pre­ toria by way of Ixihdun Wednesday the ■nienttaudiug that a state of war already cxisted was given official confirmation by a proclamation issued by Sir Alfred Mp■er. Tbe proclamation -declares that ail person* aiding or abetting the enemy will be guilty of high treason.

It was taken for granted that Var had begun. It was known that Con­ yngham Greene, the British agent, had left Pretoria. The fir»t act of war was reported in a dispatch to the London Tel­ egraph. It told of tbe Boer* baying seiz­ ed railroad property belonging to the English’colony. The British patrol was ■toned by the burghers between Lady­ smith and the Orange Free State bonier. Intense excitement prevailed in Cape Town • Wednesday a* a result of the Boers' move, which seemed to make war certain. -Orange Free State burgher* were reported to have already entered Natal, crossing the frontier thirty-seven miles below Newcastle, which the Boers, advancing fromjhe north aud west, were expected to occupy. Trnnsraul troops of the commanders north of tbe Buffalo river were report<*d on the move. The British first-class cruiser Powerful, Cap­ tain laimbton, arrived at Cape Town, having 500 infantry on board. Many of the Cap* Dutch left to join the Boers.

Presidential Party Visits Many States and Travels Over 5,000 Miles. President McKinley's visit to Chicago was n halt in*his swing around the circle, which began at Washington on Oct. 4 and which ends there* with his return on OctC 19. The itinerary of this trip ha* taken him over several loops ami through many States, and was arranged for many stops. The- train JeXt Chicago Wednes­ day night. The first stop was at Terre Haute, Ind., then down to Evansville. He returned to Chicago Thursday night nt 8:30 o’clock. -Every halt whs sched­ uled and timed from there to Savannah, 111., and thence to St. Paul, to West Su­ perior. Duluth and Fargo. From the last named city he returned to Minnesota, then back into Dakota and to Sioux City, Iowa. The train crossed Iowa, making Troops of Lawton and MacArthur Are 1‘nnhin?

Official dis­ patches received ai*d not.made public show that both Gen. Lawton aud Gvu."

Eventu­ ally it is intended to-send an expedition by water to Linguyen,’ near the northern terminus of the railway, so as to flauk the enemy. This expedition, however, will not start until additional troops have ar­ rived. Meanwhile the divisions under both Lawton nnd MacArthur will push to tbe north as far as they can.

President McKinley spread a trowelful of gray mortar upon the. foun­ dation stone of the great Federal struc­ ture. He received it from a shovel hand­ ed him by a hod carrier? Workmen more experienced in the art of rearing mighty building* spread other ’mortar upon the base. Th^> corner stone, white and mas­ sive in the sunlight, was lowered from a flag-entwined derrick upon the founda­ tion stone, droppifig upon and hermetical­ ly. sealing the copper box containing doc­ uments and coins which may not see light for another century. Secretary ot the Treasury Gage waved his hands to the multitude. Then, as a band played "The Star-Spangled Banner” and a battery on the lake front boomed the national salute 10,000 persons, stand­ ing witfr uncovered heads, cheered tbe nution’s ruler and Ae nation's anthem. Thousands from tbe windows and tops of the .high buildings about—from the flag-bedecked turret of the Union League Club, the dizzy cornices of the Great Northern, the massive heights of the Mo­ nadnock building—took up the mighty re­ frain.’. These persons numbered fully 15,000. Following the example of those who had points of vaiituge. the teas of thousands who could not see, and had not hearil a word, but held back from the proximity to the Federal building by lines of bluecoats, had patiently held their ground for hours, sent up a hoarse cheer. As tbe stone was falling to its bed, and Inch by inch closing the sunlight from the precious box, /i member of the First ar­ tillery, L N. G., signal service, who stood tn tbe presidential stand, wig-wagged his flag thrice. A man on a sky scraper in the vicinity wig-wagged another flag, and a third man, farther east, waved his flag. And two seconds by the stop watch after the corner stone of the new Federal build­ ing was laid the deep-toned salute o( the cruiser Michigan and Battery D echoed from the lake front and mingled with the acclamations of the populace. When silence reigned again Secretary Gage, white-haired and distinguished, stood over tbe huge block of Illinois lime­ stone and said, with diguified emphasis: co LAYING- Ob'. THE POSTOFFICE CORNER STONE. CHICAGO'S GREAT BUILDING. The ceremonies attending the laying of the corner stone of Chicago's new post­ office building were followed in the after­ noon by a pageant which surpassed all similar civic and military displays in tbe history of the city.

There were no threatening skies to mar or conceal the lavish decorations of the Court of Honor or to dampen the patriotic ardor of the hosts of people.

Animals Mangled to Death on Trans­ port Siam Daring Typhoon. The United States transport Siam, which left Sun Francisco Sept. 9 with apward of 330 valuable mules, tbe coin­ ing of which had been anxiously awaited at Manila, as mules are in great demand far continuing the campaign, arrived Fri­ day morning and reported that all but nineteen of tbe animals had been lost in two severe typhoons under peculiarly distrensing conditions. The Siam, which left Honolulu thirty-one days previous, en­ countered tbe typhoons early laxt week. One lasted forty hours. Most of the for­ age, which wa* on deck, was swept over­ board, all the boats were smashed and the steamer rolk-d tremendously in tbe trough of the sea, although the officers made ev­ ery effort to bring her about. Tbe mules were hurled from side to side and fright­ fully mangled. Their legs and neck* were broken aud the wretched animals fell in such a confused mass that tbe attend­ ants were unable to relieve them. In the meantime tbe deck load was' washed off, tbe ship lightened and the rolling in­ creased. When the storm abated the in­ jured animals were killed and their car­ casses thrown overboard. When the Siam arrived her propeller was .high out of tbe water and the wrecks of her boats were hanging from the davits. The lose of the animals will be greatly felt by Gen. Otis, who needed them for tzamportation of supplies to the cities and towns held by the American troops. Gem Otis recently cabled the War [>epartmerrt that the animals shipped would be sufficient to meet all requirements un­ til the animal transports could return to San Francisco for more, so that it was unnecessary to charter more freight ves­ sels.

At the time of which we are now writ­ ing the main defenses of the British army at Philadelphia, od the north, were a line of intrenchment'a, commencing on the Delaware river, just above Willow street, and running across to the Schuyl­ kill, terminating at the Upper Ferry, tn a "line with that part of Calluwhlll street. This line was composed of ten redoubts, .well, manned, and.connected by strong palisades. The first redoubt was at tbe junction of what‘were then coun­ try roads, one leading tosFrankford. and the other to Kensington, very near to the Delaware, and on the present line of Greene street: it ,wsl occupied by a force of light-horse, called The Queen’s Rang­ ers. under command of Lieut. Col. Sim­ coe. Just at dusk, on the evening of Tues­ day, the third of March, in the midst of a driving snowstorm, a stranger ap­ proached the redoubt by way of the Ken­ sington road, and upon being hailed by the sentinel, he demanded to Bee the officer of the guard. ‘•I am one of the king's scouts," ^he said, “with a pass, but without the coun­ tersign." As the sentinel had no business with any pass but the countersign, he called for the sergeant of the guard. Tbe ser­ geant came, and when he had learned the particulars he went back to the guard house, and-.soon returned, bearing a lan­ tern. and accompanied by a lieutenant. The sergeant held up bis lantern, the light of which revealed a tall, strongly built man, enveloped in a rough, thick horse blanket, beneath which was per­ ceptible the green garb peculiar to the Tory legion. His face 'V15 dark, with a large "piece of surgeon's sticking plaster npou the left cheek, extending from the corner of the mouth almost to the tem­ ple. His hair was black and matted, and worn quite long, being cropped in front to keep it from bis, eyes. “You have a pass?" said tbe lieuten­ ant. "By your leave, yes—and from Sir William.” "Who are you?" “My pass will tell you. if you have the right to look nt at.” "Let me see it." “It> hardly the thing. Lieutenant, in thirfiriving storm. Isn’t Col. Simcoe at the redoubt?" "Give mo your name and 1 will carry it to him." "It’s a name that I guess has been heard of in both camps—John Tremaine.” It mgy have been the Hume, or it may have been the man’s manner, that led the lieutenant to pan him by the sentinel, and .then direct him to follow with the sergeant. A sort of blockhouse had been erected dose by the redoubt, upon the south, in which was a suite of very comfortable apartments, aud in one of the largest of these the lieutenant found his superior, to whom be reported, and who immedi­ ately ordered that the scout should be brought before him. -Lieut. Col. J. Graves Kirncoe, lately promoted from the rank of major, was a middle-aged. struTTgly framed man, bear­ ing the stamp of hard senice upon bis weather beaten face. He looked up from his desk, where he bad been writing In his journal, as the newcomer entered. The scout had laid aside his storm beaten blanket in an ante-room, add be now stood proudly erect in his green uniform, as though conscious that be was of Im­ portance enough to the royal cause to be respected, even by a lieutenant colonel. The patch of plaster gave his dark face a sinister expression, and the long, black hair was like an Indian’s. From an in­ ner pocket he drew a vellum pouch, and from the pouch be.took a paper, which, without speaking, he handed to tbe col­ onel. , Simcoe openedjljgrfpapcr and held it to­ wards the liglfTof his candles; nnd when he had read it, he signed to tbe lieuten­ ant and tbe sergeaut that they might withdraw. "So," he said, when (hey two were alone, “you are John Tremaine?" "Yen, Colonel." "Where are you from?" "From the Chester farms back of Valley Forge—from Gabriel Van Tramp's last." “And you come with information for us?" "For Sir William, yes." "What ia its nature?” “Excuse me. Colonel. My orders are from Sir William Howe, and to him I must first report." “You are right. By what route have you come?” “I crossed tbe Schuylkill below Valley Forge, and came by tbe way of 'White Marsh and Germantown." “A roundabout way, I should Bay.” “Yea, but j safe one. Seaton's cavalry are raiding on tbe other aide.” Simcoe expressed his estimation of Sea­ ton’s cavalry in language rather more profane than polite, and then continued: “And so Captain Seaton is not dead, after all?" “I should think not, air.” "Your chief, Kirk Fagan, sent us word that he was surely done for.” “Aye, sir, and on the very next day after that Fagan was himself captured." “Yes—I heard of that. But, »ay—have Cu seen or beard anything of a provisi train on tbe road since you struck the White Marsh?" “No, air." “It Is strange where Maj. McKenzie can be. He should have been here yes­ terday." “Maybe the storm, air---- " “Bah! He should have been here hours before this storm set in. But I will not detain you. I will send an orderly with you to 81r William's headquarters.""There is no need of that. Colonel.1 If Gen. Howe is st the old place, on High street, I should prefer to find him alone. My mission Is a secret one, and there may be people st bis quarters who ought not to know that I have come in. A man •ent with me might be questioned." Simcoe reflected a few momenta, and having looked over the pass again, he re­ folded it and handed it back. “I think I will trust you, Tremaine. This pass gives you considerable latitude. The countersign is Oxford. How long shall you Ik* in town?" “That depends upon the commnnder-lnchlef?’ “I see. Very well. Don't get lost In the snow. You know the way■r* “Perfectly." "Good-night" * "Good-night Colonel." And then the scout went out. In the ante-room he resumed his blanket, and to the sentinel at the outer door he gave the countersign, and was allowed' to emerge oner more Into the storm. Ah! well was it for Simcoe's orderly that he was not called upon to conduct the wayfarer to Howe's quarters. There is a desolate stretch between the redoubt and High street, which he would certain­ ly never have passed alive! Could the lieutenant colonel have bad his thoughts led in any such direction? Had he been led to mistrust tbe scout? Certain it J*. at all events, that before the man had been gone two minutes he summoned an orderly. "Duston. did you observe the man who just left me?" * "Tbe man with the blanket, sir?" "Blanket?" "Ah. I forgot. He put off his blanket outside. Him with the green coat, sir?" "Yes.” "Yes. Colonel.” "I wish you to follow him, close and sharp. If he stops at Gen. Howe’s an opened a door leading to a room in which a pandle was burning- a room we have seen before—the kitchen of the bouse which had aforetime been the dwelling of Geo. Beaton.

"Robert!—my boy.’—my* blessed mas­ ter! O! God be praised!” . The old housekeeper grasped both his bands and wrung them fervently. Aye, it was Robert Seaton, alive and well! His face was very dark, and disfigured by a patch of lighter hue upon the left cheek; but there was no mistaking ffim now: "Yes, good Patience, it is your boy Robert. But, tell me—am I wholly safe? Arc we alone in the house?” "Tye are alone, Robert—alone for the present—but I know not bow soon the officers, who und quarters here, may re­ turn. O! my dear, dear master, can it be? And we thought you dead!" "It is as xou see, Patience; but. before all else, let me know just how I am sit­ uated. Who are the officers of whom you speak?" • “A captain and two lieutenants of dragoons. They are not bad men. They have treated me with respect. I did not write to you of.them for fear you would worry needlessly. But they must not see you.-" “Where are they ndw?” "I do not know. They went away last Thursday, on some sort of an expedi­ tion.” । « A light broke upon our hero. “Werg they bound upon a foraging ex­ pedition?" “For provisions—yes.” “And to the northward?" “Yes—towards the Lehigh Valley." •"Officers of dragoons, you say?" "Yes." ' “Captain Stanley was one of them?” "Yes." “Then we need not fear their immedi­ ate return, Patience. The captain and both his lieutenants are safely lodged with our provost at Valley Forge.'

Col. Simcoe's orderly had returned to the block house. It was near nine'o’clock when h# came in.

The colonel pushed For Infants and Children. aside his writing, and burned bis 'chair.

If he goes elsewhere; be able to let me know where It is.- Do you understand?" “Yea, sir." "Be careful that he does not observe you. Make haste, now." Graves Simcoe was an old soldier, and had been placed in command of that par­ ticular redoubt because of his watchful­ ness and native shrewdness. He had seen a good many of tbe up-river Tories, but never before one exactly like this one. He bad been the most keenly observant when he had appeared the furthest from It. In the first place, lie knew that the man was thoroughly military—a soldier from top to toe. Not a single posture or point of bearing had he exhibited like a hireling Tory scout. In the next place, he knew the man was disguised. Tbe beating snow bad wet the plaster patch, nnd there was certainly no wound be­ neath it! And. further, tbe lustrous, fullorbed, gray eyes were not In keeping with the coarse, straight, black hair. The man might be all right, but there had been strange doings in ami around the American camp at Valley Forge, slid the colonel certainly had bis doubts. -Meantime, the man with the pase, with his blanket gathered closely about him, made his way to Secund street. He pass­ ed three sentinels before he reached High street, to whom he gave the countersign. At length High street (now Market! was reached, but he did not turn into it. He kept on past that, and also past Chest­ nut. At the corner of Walnut street he stopped, and had he turned he might have seen a man dodge quickly behind a tree; but he seemed to have no thought that he was followed. He moved like one whose mind was wholly preoccupied, and whose thoughts were profoundly and intensely fixed. After a Little seeming hesitation he moved on to Locust street, where be turned to tbe westward, which course he pursued until he had reached a point not far from the Schuylkill, where he slopped. Upon his right was a low gate, hooked upon the Inside, which' fastening be easily loosed. Beyond was a narrow passage, between two garden walks, or fences, running in towards Walnut street, at tbe end of which was, another gate, opening to the small back yard of a wooden dwelling. This latter point gained, the man In tbe blanket looked up at tbe small rear win­ dows, but could see no light. He listen­ ed awhile, and then applied his knuckles to tbe door of the porch. After repeat­ ing his ssmmons twice pnd waiting a long time, a -window was opened above, and a volcve—a woman’s voice—hailed him: "Who's there?” "A sergeant of the guard after desert­ ers. Open tbe dpoc!" “There are no deserters here, good sir.” ’ "There are soldiers In the house?” "No." . “Your roof gives shelter to members of the army of some kind?” . “Not ft present, sir.” "Patience, let me tn!” The sound ot a smothered cry came down with the driving snow; the win­ dow was sbtrtt and ere long afterwards the door of the porch waa opened and the man went In. “Robert!" "Hush! Let ns close and relock the door." That feat being accomplished, tbe wom- “And you are hungry, Robert?" "Yea, Patience, I am hungry as a man can be who has not eaten for twelve hours." * While the woman went for the water, the adventurer went into the room over­ looking the front court, and saw that the shutters were tightly closed and se­ cured, after which he seated himself by the kitchen fire, where he was aroused by his companion. “Ah! Patience!" he cried, starting up “I can'keep back- tbe sigh no longer. If my heart must break, let it be now. aud be done! Is—is—Lillian " “Dear boy." answered Patience, seizing his outstretched hands, and not waiting for him to finish, •"Lillian is alive nnd well, und has not yet surrendered. Oh, Robert, she has been most true to you!" "God bless her! And God bless you, dear woman, for telling me so! I shall see her—you can help me in this, Pa­ tience?" "I will tell you when you have wash­ ed. The water Is getting cold." When our hero had thoroughly cleans­ ed the skin which bad been stained, and had combed out his soft brown, wavy hair, he looked so entirely like bis old self that his green garb would hardly have been noticed by a friend. By this time, Patience had set out a meal, gen­ erous in quantity, if not so very delicate in quality, and as tbe youthful hero sat down, she regarded him with reverent admiratflBL^-— "Now, Patience, 'while I am eating yon can tell me of Lillian. How can I see her?’ "Dear boy, if you see her at all, you will see her here. Of course you would not venture to her fa flier’s house. He is the worst enemy, I think, you have on eart’.i.” “I know he is—ah, I know it! I would not go there if it can be avoided. But I must see Lillian." “And so you shall, Robert; She comes here whenever she can. She has one faithful servant who remains true to her through all, and by exchanging clothes with that girl she manages to escape ob­ servation. She may be here this very night." "How! This night, say you?’ “Easy, my master. She will come as soon as she can, for she is very, very anxious to know if I have heard from you. Her life is one constant strife with her father, and she seeks knowledge of you to give her strength.” “And this strife?" “Wait, Robert. If she comes to-night. It must be ere long. She will tell you the story of her trials. But you have not done your supper?” "Yea, Patience—I have eaten enough. O, if I can see my Lillian, she shall be saved. If she will flee with me, J can take her from the city. I have another pass—I have two passes from Gen. Howe, taken from our Tory prisoners. If she will assume a male disguise, we will away together! She will go! She will go with me, I know! Do you not think so. Patience?" "Yea—yes. Ah! Hark! I hear a sig­ nal at the porch door!" “Is it—can it be—Lillian?” “Go you into the other room, Robert, and I will go and see.” . And with this the housekeeper arose and went out into the porch.

"Have you lost your wedding ring?” she asked the poulterer. The eyes of the jealous wife were fixed upon him. He boldly replied In the affrmatlve.

L*nt year the brokers got hold of ail tbe brush in sight and, storing ft in ware­ houses. spent tbe winter in mretlug <mre a month and. while they ate and drank the best to Im? bad, marked up the price a few cent* on the pound. Tbe bulk «f last year** crop was bought Tor $50 a ton and before the new supply came in it had Iw-en marked up to $180 and Lad been practically “cleaned Out" at a figure near this fabulous price. When the new crop.was put on the market a few weeks ago it started off at $tfo end finally got up to $68 for prime brush. About ten day* ago foreign buyers began to come into the district and tbe farmer with broom corn to sell at once became a man of importance. He raised the price and from $70 to went to $80 in twenty-four hours. Then the buyers took eterythiSg they-could get, regardless of quality, at $8t». Then they offered $90, and finally $100. There is no shortage Jo speak of this season, but the clean-up ot last >e«tfs crop makes broom corn a scarce article in all quarters. FLAMES IN MILL VALLEX.

Tkree Masked Men Blow Opea an Kxpraa* r *fe with Dynamite, Tak* It* Content*, and Make Their K*c*pe~ Operator Bound and Gagged. Three masked men held up the Chicago and Northwestern fast mail train No. 9. bound fop tbe Pacific coast, at Meredith, JUL, forty-*even miles from Chicago, shortly after 11 o'clock Friday night. After they had blown the through safe and wrecked tbe express car they un­ coupled the engine from the mail train and escaped bn ft to Courtland.' Daniel : White, the engineer, was forced to carry them to that point, where they de*erted tbe cab for the darkness of the surroundfcng fields. ‘ Just about 11 o’clock three men entered signal office W of the road, located mid­ way between Elburn and Maple Park, and asked the operator. Clifton James, at what time the mail train -would be due. James tried to avoid a direct reply, but the lights from the windows of the ap­ proaching cars gave them tbe desired in­ formation and they stopped only long enough to bind the operator in his chair with phekskin thongs, set the signals to stop the oncoming train, and render useles« the telegraphic instrument* in the office. The engineer of tbe mail train brought the cars to.a stand in obedience to the semaphore signals and at once was con­ fronted by tbe robbers. They had- ad­ justed handkerchiefs over the lower part of their faces and each carried a brace of long-barreled ominous-looking revolv­ ers. Engineer White made no nttempt.at resistance, but his firemgn, Joseph Jewel, tried to escape from the cab. He was ^topped at the point of a pistol and he and White were led back to the last of the four car* that made up tbe train. One man was left to guard the train crew and the other two attacked the express car and forced Messenger F. A. Hopson to admit them. First he was taken to the rear car and then brought back to open the local safe. He would not do this. The robber retired from the car again while the through safe wax demolished with a charge of dynamite which blew a hole through the bottom of the car and tore great gaps in the roof. Just how much the safe may have con­ tained is not known, iDut it is said that currency and packages of valuables werehurled into the fields. Two shots were tired during the raid, one at James McGrath, a brakeman, who swung his lantern at the head of the leader of the bandits, and a second at Brakeman. Palmer, who crawled beneath the cars, and ran to flag an east-bound fast freight which was almost due. Palmer escaped injury and stopped the freight train with his shirt for a signal. After the. robbers had deserted the engine of the mail train at Courtland En­ gineer ’White posited on kk Dekalb. Brakeman 'Palmer had reached Elburn meanwhile and sent word of the robl>ery to W. E. Morse, Galena division sup­ erintendent at Oak Park. Tbe victims of the robbery unite in de­ claring tbe bandit* a determined group of men. They went about their work quietly and without a sign of nervous^ift-w. One of them' paused to borrow a chew of tobacco from the assistant ex­ press messenger. Elmer E. Painter. The night was exceedingly dark, and this greatly aided the thugs in their escape. CARTER SOARED HIGH. CommonSense Talk WlthWomen If a person is Hl and needs a medi­ cine is it not wise to get one that has stood the test of time and haa hun­ dreds of thousands of cures to iu A great many women who are ill try everything they hear of in the way of medicine, and this experimenting with unknown drugs is a constant menace to their already impaired health. This seems to us very unwise, for there are remedies which are no ex­ periments and have been known years and years to be doing only good. Take for instance Lydia E. Pink­ ham’s Vegetable Cotnpound: for thirty years its record has been one un­ broken chain of success. No medi­ cine for female ills the world has ever known has such a record for cures. It seems so st range that some people -will take medicines about which they really know nothing, some of which might be, and are, really harmful; while on the other hand it is easily proved that' over one million women have been restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. We have published in the news­ papers of the United States more genuine testimonial letters than have ever been published in the interest of any other medicine. All this should, and does, produce a , spirit of confidence in the hearts of women which is difficult to dislodge, and when they are asked to take some thing else they say, “No, we want Lydia E. Pinkhama Vegetable Com­ pound. which has been $jned, and never found wanting, whose reliability is established far beyond the experi­ mental stage.” We have thousands of letters like the following addressed to Mrs. Pinkham, shewing that Monthly Suffering is Always Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, also Back­ ache and Bearing-down PfUns. “ I suffered untold agony every month and could get no relief until I tried your medicine; your letter of ad­ vice and a few bottles of Lydia E.

I shall bless you as long as I live.”—Mibb Joie Saul, Dover, Mich. “-Four years ago I had almost given up hope ot ever being well again.

Tbe female in the kitchen had been dis­ covered by 'those who had broken their way in bv the porch, and the colonel, hearing the challenge, hastened to the spot. At first-he thought of a man in female disguise, but this shrinking figure wa* too slight for the f*l*e scout; and. when he saw her face, be knew her. He had met her in her father’s house. “Mis* Eaaccourt! Why are you here?’ “I came to see my dear friend, sir," she answered, promptly, though with a ferjing of deathly faintness. The colonel was too gallant to press the matter in the presence of the rough aoldlery, though hl* look seemed to indicate that he more than half suspected the truth. He had assured himself that his scout had entered this house, and bad not since departed. Candles were procured and lighted, and lanterns brought into use. and then. In obedience to Simcoe’s orders, the search . wa* commenced. It could not last long.. There we re'a score of men in the house, well used to the work, and no nook or cranny was likely to escape notice. Ere long a sergeant, at the head of six men, came tn a door which was fastened upon the inside. A single planting of a heavy jack boot against the door broke the aimpie fastening, and tbe light of the sergeant’s lantern flashed upon a man, wh» stood in the middle of the chamber, with a sword under hl* arm and a pistol in either band. “Back!" thundered > the man at bay. "The’"first man who places a foot over the threshold dlea!" For a brief space the .Britons hesitated. Tbe man before them looked dangerous. If they advanced, the foremost would be sure to fall. But there wa* no alterna­ tive. There was no mean* of ingress for a flank attack. » "Forward!" shouted the sergeant; and as he pushed ahead, bis comrades quick­ ly followed. They had left their musket* below, and would not turn back from a single man. The one chance in a hundred upon which the sergeant bad counted luckily turned up. Both the ^pistols missed fire, their priming* having probably become dampened in the storm. And then, with n pistol clubbed in his left band, as a sort of shield, Seaton grasped the sword and fought desperately. Blood was shedmuch of it—but it could not avail. The chamber was soon filled with soldiers, and by and by a strong man slipped up from behind, knd held the swordsman's arms fast, nnd in a moment more he was borne to tbe floor, and hi* elbows pinion­ ed nt his back; and thus they bore him down into the ball. Col. Simcoe, when he knew that Rob­ ert Seaton had been secured, rejoined Lillian in. the kitchen, where he found her fainting in the arm* of Patience. It needed no aeer to tell him tbe story. He understood it very well. He summoned a lieutenant and four men. "Lieutenant, you know the dwelling of Jacob Eastcourt, on Spruce street"?’ but I can see- that it is in him to be a CHAPTER XIV.

I eduction of 327,000,OOOHuahelv from Last Year’s World’s Crop. J xpress Official* Fay Bobbecy Pro­ ceed* Were KxaiCKerated. In a bulletin issued by tbe Agricultural Department a careful analysis is given of the wheat crop of the “world for 1809 based upon the psthnajes of recognized conservative authorities. The production was estimate*! by.the Department of Ag­ riculture in 1808 at 2,007,700,000 bushels. Beerbohm estimate^, the production the last season at 2,445,000.000 bushels, the Bulletin des’ Halles at 2,510,000,000 and the Hungarian minister of agriculture at from 21453,000,000 to 2.477.000,000 bush­ els. Id a carefully tabulated statement It is shown that these estimates’ do not corer the same field: that some of them include countries omitted by others. . Setting aside minor differences and taking tbe countries which are included in all four of the estimates the following result is obtained: Estimate of Department of Ag­ riculture, 1808, 2.798.000,000 bushels: es­ timate Beerbohm’s Corn-Trade List, 1899. 2,393,000,000 bushels; estimate Bul­ letin des Halles. 1809, 2.489.000.000 bush­ els: estimate Hungarian ministry, 1899, 2,453,000.000 to 2,477,000.000. It has already been seen by the report of tbe Agricultural Department that sup­ plementing tlie estimates for 1899 by the additions for omitted countries which arc inchided in the estimate of the Depart­ ment of Agriculture for 1898 and then comparing the latter with tbe mean of the three estimates as so modified, we get 327,000.000 bushels a* the quantity by which this year’s wheat crop falls be­ low that of last year. On the whole a reduction of more than 300,000,000 bush­ els is pretty safely Inferred, and it would seem that during the current crop year the fanner should obtain satisfactory prices for hia wheat. .

Jt is not known how the fire started but at alxiut six o’clock a light was noticed iu the eastern pttrt of town and in a short time it illumed the whole village. No alarm was sounded but a general excitement was aroused by the bright light which seemed to be in the direc­ tion of the Lentz table factory, and a large crowd was happily deceived when they saw that tbe fire was in a swamp instead of any building.

Wednesday, the fourth day of March, •pened bright and clear. The storm of the night bad passed, leaving the snow piled in drifts so deep that in many place> in the city horses could not make their way. 4 At the Chestnut street front of the State House men were busy In shoveling away the snow, for in that building high <«ourt.was held. And up Chestnut to Sixth, and thence through Walnut, oxen were wallowing with heavy drag*, making a*path w froni the prison. . At 11 o’clock in the forenoon a court, -consisting of general officers of the Brit­ ish army, wan convened, at the head of which wns Gen. Knyphausen, gentleman­ ly and polite, but with tiger's claws be­ neath the velvet. It was assembled in the half where the Continental Congress had held its, sessions, and many officers not of the court were present, for a case was to be tried which was of more than passing interest. At a given signal lhe prisoner to be tried was led ia by a sergeant, followed by two stout soldiers, nod placed in front of the dais upon which the members of the court were seated. After a few pre­ liminary formalities Knyphauwn address­ ed the prisoner. His accent was strongly Orman, but he ,t»ke EnBll«h rorrecVx. “Prisoner. Is your name Robert Sea­ ton?" ’ What conld it avail the youth to deny hl* name? Why should he deny anything ■ that could be clearly and directly proved against him? It could o»ly be worse than uselcM. So he gnswered: “Are you nn officer*of the. Insurgent -army commanded by George Washing­ ton ?” ‘ "I hold the rank of captain of cavalry In the American army, commanded by Gen. Washington." . The president of the court then signi­ fied to the prisoner that he might sit, af­ ter which Lieut. Col. Simcoe was called ‘ u|>on. » The colonel's story was very direct and ■ concise, as we know it. He knew the man who had claimed the name of John Tremainp, and had borne a pass bearing that name, ns the same who now ncknowledged birnself to be Robert Sea­ ton. mid as the same, also,’whom he had captured at the bouse on the Walnut ■otreet court. Simcoe's orderly. Duston, then gave his testimony; and'he was followed by the sergeant who had discovered the prisoner hiding in nn upper chamber, and who ap­ peared with his head bound up and his right arm in a sling. The trial was not long. After lhe mem­ bers of the court had conferred together, and before their decision had tel :i ren­ dered. the prisoner craved permission to speak, which was granted. •’Gentlemen," he said, with calm dig; ■nity. "I know that I am being tried as a spy, and from the fact that you have asked me no questions concerning toy purpose or motives in visiting this town, I judge that you hold the evidence against me to be conclusive.” . ■"This Lkjhe evidence,” returned Kny■phauseu, with extreme politeness; "you, ■ an officer of the enemy—entrusted by .your chief with the command of armed forces for the purpose of raiding upon peaceful and law-abiding friends of the king-arc found, in time of war, working your way into our camp, disguised aw a loyalist, bearing a false name, and ex­ hibiting a stolen passport. Your Wash­ ington has hung our loyal servants upon Jess provocation." “Tory spies huv* been hanged, I admit, sir; but- only where the proof has been found upon them. As for me, I am no spy. Had I been left to pursue my own course, I should have been ere this far ■distant from your lines, and that, too, Srithont having gained one atom of know!Mi»r-**Msi<le of my own private af­ fairs. *1 um on leave of absence, and no man at Valley Forgo, save one trusted friend, knows whither I have come. I came sir, to fulfill a solemn pledge given to a dying woman. Had my mission suc­ ceeded, no harm could have come from it to the cause of the king, nor did thought of such harm have a place in my mind. I call upon God to witneas that I speak the truth!" "Which means," said Gen. Knypbausen, with a bland smile, “that though half the Insurgent army were found disguised as loyalists, within- our lines, we should not molest them if they solemnly declared that they meant no harm. Young man, you are too much Of a soldier for that. When you ventured hither in that garb, and with .a false passport, you knew full well that you set your life upon the haz­ ard of detection. Can you look me in the face and deny It?” The patriot shrank from the denial of a truth so self-evident. Such denial would hav*.been more than folly. He could only return his questioner's look in silence. Another consultation, very brief, and the president again addressed the prison"The finding of the court i»—That Rob­ ert Seaton, a captain of cavalry in the service of the enemy, being found within our lines, in disguise, and with various papers belonging to true friendi of the king upon his person, is to be considered as a spy from aaid enemy, and shall suffer death! And the court aaya that •aid Robert Seaton shall be hanged by the,neck until be is dead, on Thuraday, the fifth day of March, in the year of our Lord, one thousand seven hundred •nd seventy-right, at nine of the clock in the morning." ‘To-morrow?" ■ “Yes—to-morrow. It will gire the com•mander-ta-chief time to approve, and af­ ford you ample time for preparation.” And at a sign from the president the provost marshal resnmed charge of the prisoner, and conducted him back to the' prison, where the iron door was closed •upon him with a quaking dang, shotting ■him out from the world, end Irsrtag him with hi* own dismai thoughts. * Nor tbr eta«r <»f the day Lillian East­ court was in her <.-hanther. ‘>nd upon her with ter tairird in her hands.

This maid was Mary Darrah, a young woman of four-and-twenty. and iu gen­ eral form and feature not gteatly unlike her mistress—so like, St al! events, that Lillian had often gone out in her dress without detection. She loved the gentle, suffering girl, and, in being true to her, she was not only following her own in­ clination,. but wns keeping her word pledged to the mistrtws that was dead. “Dear Indy." said Mary, advancing and laying her hand upon Lillian's shoulder, "1 nm sorry 1 told you. O. can you not bear up? You will break your .heart if you keep on so." “Ab, Mary, my poor heart can break no more! Even the pow.er of prayer is denied me. I think I am going mad!"

Sinft- When the English steamer Stella was wrecked on the Casquet rocks, on jthe 30th of March last, twelve women were put Into a boat, which the storm whirled away into the waters without a man to steer It, and without an oar which the women could use. All they could do was to sit still in the boat, and let the winds and waves carry them whither they would. They ’ passed a terrible night, not knowing to what fate destiny was con­ ducting them. Cold and wet, they must have been quite, overcome but for the courage, presence sf mind and mu­ sical gifts of one of their number. This oqe was Miss Marguerite Williams, a contralto singer of much ability, well kiiown as a singer In oratorios. At the risk of ruining her voice. Miss Williams began to sing to her compan­ ions. Through the greater part of the night her voice rang over the waters. She sang as much of certain wellknown oratorios as she could, particu­ larly the contralto songs of "The Me» stab" and "Elijah," and several hymns. Her voice and the sacred words inspir­ ed the women In the boat to endure their sufferings. At about four o’clock In the morning* while it was still dark, a small steam craft which had been sent out to try to rescue some of the floating victims of the wreck beard a woman’s strong voice some distance away. It seemed to be lifted In song. The men on the little steam craft listened, and to tbelr astonishment heard the words, “(X rest in the Lord," borne through the dark­ ness. They steered In Its direction, and before tang came in sight of the bogt containing the twelve women, and they were taken aboard. If it had not been for Miss Williams’ singing they would not have been ob­ served. and very likely would have drifted on to death, as so many other victims of the wreck did. The Bu »ler Who Forgot.

The noise continued until 10 o'clock, when Ej^wie left the building by a rear entrance? The mob. armed with clubs, stones and mud. followed, and an exciting chase ensued. Dowie, surround­ ed by his allies, ran three blocks to where an electric, ear was in waiting. He was struck several times, and his clothes were besmeared with mud. The car on which the fugitive took refuge wits biwieged for several minutes, all the windows in it broken and the passengers, in addition to the Dowie party, were thrown'into partie.

The American reading public has found considerable difficulty in pronouncing the Dutch names that come in the cables from.far-off Africa. -The language of the Boers is identical grammatically but nut iu idiom with that of the people of Hol­ land. The Dutch Afrikanders are called Boers because that word describes their class—fanners. The pronunciations giv­ en the letters in these-Dutch words are not like those of lhe English. The dou­ ble "o," for instance, in Dutch ha* the name sound as “o” in Rome, while the diphthong “oe" is pronounced by- the Dutch as we pronounce "oo" in boot. The English pronunciation of these two diph­ thongs is the reverse o^rhat given them by those who speak IJuteli. "Ou” has the sound of “o’w'^in owl. The sound of "tii" is nearly like that of the English "oy" iu boy. The I)ut\.’h double “aa" is die same as the English "a" in war. As there is no "y”' in Dutch, its place' is taken by "ij,” which is sounded as “y" in defy. It one, therefore, would pro­ nounce Oom Paul properly he would say it as if it were spelled “One Powl." The family n»me of Gen. Joubert would, for the same reason, be pronounced as if it were spelled “Yowbert,” The word Boer is pronounced by the Afrikanders as if it were of two syllables; the first long and the second short, thus: “Boo-er.” The plural is not "Boers." It is “Boeren,” and it is pronounced "Bo-ereb,” because the final "n" is starred.

The consideration for the territory sold was W.OOOj} Considerable excitement was caused about town Wednesday night and Thursday morning by the statement of J. Normorosky, the old iron man man who had the trouble with the boys Hollowe’en, that he had been robbed j of $441. He claimed that some of the boys took the money out of his pocket. When the boys got at him about it yesterday morning, however, he ad­ mitted that he had not lost the money, and had told it “youst for fun.’’ As a result of the petition for ti e disbarment of Charles R. Mains, filed in the supreme court by Judge Clem­ ent Smith some time ago,, the former is now prohibited from practicing in any the courts of Michigan. This de­ cision was made by the court last Fri­ day and the oninion was unaminous. The report declared that Judge Smith was*not corrupt and upholds his ac­ tion in the matter, while it also stated that the conduct of Attorney Mains was entirely inexcusable. ' Marshall capitalists are beginning work-in earnest in the oil fields of Assyria. A derrick eighty fdet high has been erected on the farm of Thom­ as Blank and the apparatus for bor­ ing to a depth of from 3,OUO to 3,500 feet is on the grounds. The company has sei'ured a two-year lease of over a thousand acres of land in that vi­ cinity, agreeing to pay the property owners one-eighth of the proceeds. If, during this period, the company finds that the xiilfields are profitable, the contract will be renewed on a basis which will be satisfactory to both the land holders and capitalists. For several years it has been claimed that there was an abundance of oil in Assyria and it is hoped that the ex­ periment now being made will bring valuable, results. Whether or not our schools are re­ quired to qualify the pupils tor agents has been a question in the minds of our people during the past week. Several days ago there was an agent for washing soap in town and made arrangements to* have the , school children sell it from house to house; and as a reward for their ser­ vices each room was to be presented with a statue. The soap was distrib­ uted among the pupils Monday and since that time there has been a swarm of boys and girls running to the dif­ ferent houses in town, and ringing the door bells and rapping on the doors until everybody is thoroughly disgust­ ed. In our opinion the school Boom is not in’ended for a place* to teach our.boys and girls how to sell soap and had a little forethought been exercised in the matter we believe the prevailing uproar would have been avoided.

Robert Seaton was alone in his narrow -cell, with iron* upon his feet and hand*. Mh pockets had been emptied by the . •rovost uiantbal. hi* coat had been token from him, and a ragged, filthy blanket thrown oxer his shoulders in its place. By day a faint ray of light .had pen«rat-sd to- hl* dungeon through a «m*li. fj*1; •d aperture over the door, but that had tiecn long gone, ami utter darkness had shut him in. Supper had been brought to him of bread aud water, of which be hurt eaten. His magnificent physique could not l>e easily crushed ;from its nat­ ural tone of health and strength! And yet the ‘heart within, beating fully its life-pulses, was heavy and sad. A dismal prospect was before him—the ■mo».t dismal In its terrible consummation that can be placed before the brave man ■whose honor is dear to him. From hi*-cell he could hear the tread uf the senincl upon the pavement of the corridor near at hand, and the nentinel had just been relieved for the third time since the utter darkness had fallen. So he know thot it was part ten -o'clock. Only ten more hour* of life, and then, -the death of the gallows! Well was it, he thought. th*at his father had died be­ fore this hour. Beyond this, two subjects ■of thought liorc heavily and painfully up­ on him. The first was of Lillian;’but that was not the one that in*thia hour .gave him the keenest regret. With Lil­ lian he had kept faUh. In her service he >had sacrificed his life_ Hud he sacrificad more than lite? Ah! this brought the sec• ©nd thought— How had he kept faith -with' his dying father? What had be done with that life wjiich he had so sol­ emnly pledged, above all else of earth, to the cause of his country? Had he not foolishly, recklessly thrown it away? To b<' sure, he had given it to Lillian, -but had he not filched it first from the cause of Liberty?' He thought of tbe ■martyrs of Valley Forgo—how he had left them When they needed him most— and how he had thrown away a life that -belonged wholly to the cause of American Independence! Had he kept faith with 'his father? Oh! this was the bitter thought, and he could.not absolve himself. Had he come upon this mission in the service of his country—had he been acting under orders '•f -from his couimander-in-vhlef—he could •hove bowed to the fate more caljnly. and be would have been sustained by the contrnling reflection that his name would, in the coming time, be enrolled with the noble, self-sacrificing martyrs who had laid down their lives before him, and •hould lay down their lives' after him. But now—now, he was to die an ignomin. lous death, and the final hour was to be brightened not at ail by the sacred altar fires! . With a rending groan he bowed his •head upon bls manacled hands, and so -remained until he was aroused by the -unbolting and opening of tbe. door of his -cell. A man entered bearing a lighted lan­ tern, which he placed upon the stone •floor, and immediately the door was clos•cd. by Bonn* one upon the outside.

It is tiresome standing on these uneven stoccs." Seaton sat dow^i upon the narrow bed, wondering what could be the meaning of this visit. Had the man come in hopes Co gain from him information of the Patriot camp and anny? But he was soon to be enlightened.

The .Boers in the meantime kept up their artillery fire, and. In-side* playing havoc with the British troops, stampeded about forty mules used for transporting the heavy guns. The British were so busy using their small arms that they were unable to look after the mules, with the result that eight cannon were lost. Chnrttc Upon Big Gun*. It seems Gen. White’s first purple was to charge tjbr*TffiKftions of the Boer batteries and capture, if possible, the big guns, which played so important a part at Glencoe. The charge was con­ sidered successful at first, but upon their arrival at the point where the Boer guns had been located tbe British found them gone. How Joubert managed to remove the awkward, heavy weapons is a mys­ tery to the British, as they are said to weigh fully four tons each with their carriages. One London newspaper, trying to ac­ count for the British retirement, says that presumably the Boers were driven back until they reached strong positions, which White naturally refused to attack.

REPORT OF THE PHILIPPINE * COMMISSION. the United tween tie The preliminary statement of the Phil­ ippine commission was handed to Presi­ dent McKinley Thursday. An unanim­ ity of opinion favoring the retention of the islands, tbe intimation being made that it will be a long time before the na­ tives can govern themselves, and that govenrment of the islands by the United States ta the archipelago's only salvation, are the maid features of tbe document. No advice, however, ta given aa to the proper course to pursue in the premise*, and the Matementa. made tend to lay all the blame un’Aguinaklo for existing.hos­ tilities. The historical'events leading up to tbe rebellion of AguinaMo against American authority are succinctly ‘recorded, includ­ ing a statement of the grievances that led to tbe uprising of the natives against Spain in 1896 and the responsibility for the existing condition of hostility between the insurgents and the American forces ta dearly ptaecd’on the shoulders of tbe rebel leader, whose aim ta shown to be Dot the advancement of his fellow coun­ trymen, but solely the gratification of bis personal ambitions. In the language of the commiasiojicrB, Instead of being a pat­ riot, a great champion of freedom and a second George Washington. Aguinaldo ta pictured as a miserable, shifting, tricky, treacherous, murderous upstart, whom Gen. Otis and other Americana would be unwilling to even ’associate with. One conclurion the commissioners reach relates to the capability of the Filipinos for self-government. According to their idea the people are not ready for it The report of the commission makes it plain that at no time could the abandonment of the position taken when the American flag was raised orer Manila have been seriously considered as compatible with tbe honor of .the United States or its duty to the rn*J population of tbe arch­ ipelago placed in its hands by the treaty of Paris. The gigt of the report specifics the need tor American Occupancy and urges the necessity for maintaining tbe army. Among the more prominent suggestions embodied in the statement are references regarding the good conduct of the Ameri­ cans now there and the bright future for the island* under the domination of Spain's succcssdr. Condudipg it says: "Our -control means to the inhabitants of the Philippines internal peace and order, a guarantee ngainrt foreign aggression and against the dismemberment of their country, commercial and industrial pros­ perity and as large a share of the affairs of government as <ta-y shall prove fit to take.

That s a practical question 1 Are you paying too much? If you’re paying a high price, you’re-probably paying as much for a name as for the coffee. Arbuckles’ Coffee is a plain, substantial coffee with an excellent aroma and delicate flavor, sold in a substantial way at an honest price. You don’t want better than good coffee, do you ? You can't afford to pay twice the price that's necessary, can you? Then why not get Arbuckles’? Get right down to the coffee question and settle it now. By buying many millions of pounds we buy the best of many large plantations, at a low price. We sell it to you at a lo^ price because-we would rather sell millions of pounds at a low profit than a thousand pounds at a big profit.

Mrs. Sickles did not desire to receive a girl who had been convicted of maliciously setting fire to and burning a building, but she is informed that she must do so. Nor can the superintendent refuse to re­ ceive a girl on tbe ground that she is in­ corrigible, tbe Attorney General stating that it is presumed all girls who Are sent to the Institutions are Gt subjects for the home, or they would not be committed there.

The rose faded from her cheek when it should have bloomed, and her heart grew heavy and sad as the time drew near when she must fulfill the pledge given to I^>rd Wenlock. But she complained not. The life of the dear one had been saved, and she could suffer. Since alio could not avoid the sacrifice, site would make it us bravely as might be. . Towunis the middle of May, Lord Wenlock, entering Lillian's presence one even­ ing. took ber baud aud said to bFr, in n tone of earnest, prayerful entreaty: “Sweet Jove, you know that Gen. Howe ha* been refieved of the command of our armies, and that Sir Henry Clinton is in his place. Sir William is to return in a few days to England. I can go with him if I will. What say you? As I live, Lillian, I do not wish to draw sword again against these suffering, struggling people. They are rTpht. King George is both a tyrant and n fool. Clinton will fight hard. It in for him to overcome the effect* of Howe'« mismanagement, and to wipe out, if possible, the disgrace of this winter's debauch in Philadelphia. I would rather sheath mj sword and return before the coming campaign ia opened. May it not be so? Will you not. as my wife, go with me? It only lacks one short month of the appointed time. You can afford to give me that.’' Lillian was startled—was frightened. This wa* bringing very near the dark fate. When the earl had commenced to •peak she knew but too well what was coming, so that, by the time he had con­ cluded, she ,bad managed to put out of sight her keenest emotion*. •to me.

The term would expire on the seveateenth. Ia his'hopeful mood, with the dear prize so near possession, Wenlock ventured to mention a name which had not before passed his lips in Lillian’s presence since those dread days of March. “Ah, sweet one,” he said, “I told yon I was assuming a fearful responsibility when I set Robert Beaton free. 1 am glad that Howe is gone, and that Sir Henry Clinton knows nothing of the mat­ ter. We are hearing -of Seaton contin­ ually. He has been promoted, by Con­ gress. to the rank of Major, and has commind of a squadron of cavalry that is doing immense damage to the king. He blessed day for him. my lore, when you gave him back to life.” As soon as she could get away, Lillian fled to her chamber, where she sank down upon her knees by the bedside. “O Robert!—my own!—my tore! God Rate mercy!"By and by she wept, and her flooding tears relieved her. On Bunday, June 14. the Earl of Wentack found Sir Henry Clinton alone. Sir Henry waa totally unlike Gen.

The objects ot tbe association are to purchase and preserve the historic building, situated at No. 23U Arch street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in which the first.flag of the United States of America was made by Betsy Ross and subsequently adopted by Congress, June 14. 1777, and to erect a national memorial in honor of this illustrious woman. Tbe importance of preserving this relic of the Revolution is great and by paying the nominal- sum of ten cents you get a beautiful certificate of membership and at the same time are helping to keep the birthplace of our national em­ blem from passing into oblivion. We have heard of some terrible things that happen to people who have to -borrow their neighbor’s paper, but the following article affords an addi­ tion of casualties: A man sent his little boy after the paper taken by his neighbor and in his haste ran over a four dollar stand of bees and in ten minims looked like a warty summer squash. His cries reached his father who ran to his assistance and failing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into that, breaking it down, cutting a hand­ ful of fish bait out of his anatomy aud ruining a 84 pair of pants. The old cow took advantage of the gap iu the fence and got out into the field and killed herself eating green corn. Hearing the racket the wife ran, upset a four gallon churn full of rich cream into a "basket of kittens, drowning the whole flock. -In the burry she dropped a 87 set of false teeth.

After he had been gone a couple of hours, Mrs. Demaray thought it strange that he did not come in the house, so a search was instituted, resulting in finding Mr. Demaray dead, lying on the ground, on top of his lantern, which had become extinguished, but not before burning his face quite bad­ ly. A coroner’s jury was impanelled by Justice Wolf, which rendered a verdict of death from natural causes, in accordance with the above facts. Mr. Demaray had felt usually well during the day, and on his way home had stopped to talk with Charles Whitcomb, who was husking corn in a field which be was crossing. His death undoubtedly resulted from htart disease, he having had a severe at­ tack about a year ago and received at that time a bad fall in the barn, where he was working. He was a man of about sixty, aqd had always been hale and hearty. He leaves a wife and one small child, In comfortable circumstances. The funeral was held yesterday, and the remains were Interred in the Wil­ cox cemetery in Maple Grove. Rev. E. E. Branch officiated. . The examination of J. M. and J. W.

J. Feather of this village officiated. Mrs.Shoup This Place, Nearly Asphyxiated. leaves a large circle of friends and relatives to mourn her departure. After breathing the fumes of escap­ ing coal gas for nearly twenty-four hours, Frederick J. and Dortt Bock, an aged couple, were found in an un­ conscious state in their home at 62 Berlin street about 7:30 o’clock last oight. Two physicians were immed­ iately summoned and, after working over them for several hours, give hopes of their Recovery. Mrs.' Bock, however, is still in a precarious con­ dition. As has been their custom of late wars, the old couple retired early Sunday evening. They lived alone in the little cottage and, before going to bed, Bock built a fire in the new coal stove in the sitting room about fifteen feet from the bedroom. The door and windows were ail closed and from the time they retired until they were dis­ covered last night there were no signs of life about the house. The neighbors noticed the unusual quite of the Bock house, but little at­ tention was paid to the matter yester­ day. Last evening, about 7:30o clock, Robert C. Bock, of 1216 Concord ave­ nue, the son„ came around and at­ tempted an entrance. He knocked and tried the door, but failed to receive a response and decided to make a more complete investigation. John F. Wagner, of 32 Heidelberg street, was with young Bock, and they broke a glass of the window and effected an entrance. The odor of coal ga* almost repulsed them, but they groped about and found the old couple lying side by side in the bed. Window's were quickly thrown open and Drs. W. R. Henderson and John F. Siefcrt. of^JlrGratiot avenue, wore called. Thev worked over the old couple and slowly they showed signs of returning consciousness. Bock and his wife have lived in the house on Berlin street since last July. When the cold weather came they bought new stoves and Sunday was the first time the fire was bult in them. The fires in the stoves were nearly out when the old couple was found last night, but the kitchen fire appeared to be burning, as If cared for only a few hours previous. Detectives Brooks and Monahan were called to the house to mak»» an investigation. They found that the chimneys, which were new. were com­ pletely stuffed up with brick and mor­ tar, making a draught imposibie. This caused the coaTgas^ to escape in the । room. '' "■ Bock and his wife lived in Nash­ ville, Michigan, for the last twentythree years. He is a locksmith by oc­ cupation. They have/lung trouble, and the inhaling of the eoal gas may prove serious. Bock is 71 years of age, and his wife has passed her 65th birthday.—Detroit Free Press of Tuesdav, November 21. Later reports state that Mr. and Mrs. Bock have sufficiently recovered so that their doctor thinks they are out of danger. Mrs. Bock, however, is stiK very ill.

It is a mammoth institution, having the largest stone­ crusher in the world. About two hundred men are employed, all re­ ceiving big wages, and about 700 tons of crushed rock are shipped daily. It is a busy institution and a visit to it is highly interesting. The blasting of the lune rock is carried on continually day and night, and the reverbera­ tions can be beard many miles, while cracked cisterns and cellar wails are a common thing in the village Id prox­ imity to the works. Tuesday evening 850 pounds of dynamite were used in blasting.

The safe was blown to atoms with nitro-glycerine, and the bank completely wrecked. The robbers secured about 42.000 in currency, and left about 41.200 scat­ tered about the bank floor, being too hot pressed by the people of the vil­ lage, who had been awakened by the explosion, to atop for the balance. During the present semi-epidemic of typhoid and malarial fever, it be­ hooves everyone to use every precau* tion to prevent the spread of the dis­ eases. Much can be accomplished by very ordinary precautions, such as cleaning up, disinfecting, boiling drinking water before using, and sim­ ilar common-sense means. The most of the cases of these diseases are caused by impure drinking water, faulty sanitation, bad drainage, or similar causes. The register at the express office called for one more package than could be accounted for Monday, and the next morning the article was found between Charlotte and Chester by the foreman of the section gang. Thpackage contained three boxes of ci­ gars wrapped up in paper with a string tied around them, and when found was in gcod condition, the paejr only being torn off one corner. ow the package ever appeared in that part of the country will always be a mystery. ^rioe President Garrett A. Hobart died at his home in Patterson, N. J., Tuesday morning, after a long lUnessd His death had been expected for se^ eral days, and was quiet and pa,olcss. He was a model man in every way, and the loss to the nation is a great one—more so, we believe, than is gen­ erally recognized. He and Mr. Mc­ Kinley were the warmest of friends, and he was a great help and support to his chief. He was such a man as the nation can ill afford to lose from his place and his duties. His place as vice president will be filled by Secre­ tary of State John Hay. In spite of this warm weather, nearly all of our merchants report an excel­ lent fall business. Large stocks have been put in for the winter trade, and the sharpness of the competition is sufficient to guarantee to all who make their winter purchases in Nashville that they will get good bargains for their money. Nashville has always been one of the best trading points in this section of the state, and It is bet­ ter this fall than ever before. Good prices are always paid for butter, eggs, and all other farm produce, and it will often pay farmers to drive sev­ eral miles farther to get to Nashville If they have much to sell or much to buy.________ Mrs. Frank Cummings of Maple Grove into the village Friday, and as a train was at the station she drove into the driveway at Townsend Jt Brooks’ elevator.

Brown. 38; Massachusetts, 0. As a result of the games settled Sat­ urday three teams—Harvard, Yale and Princeton—may now be regarded as lead­ ing in the East. Pennsylvania’s victory over Michigan was by no means decisive, a 11 to 10 score being practically a tie. Chicago’s defeat of Northwestern was Impressive, but the form displayed by the victors was even more significant of their worth than was the big score. Wis­ consin trounced Illinois, which had al­ ready been beaten by Michigan. Brown’s victory over the Massachusetts Institute of Technology proves little. A comparison of the. relative merits of teams in the West shows that Chicago, Wisconsin nnd Michigan are virtually on a par. Wisconsin and Michigan will settle their standing on Thanksgiving day. After that Chicago’s recent show­ ing against Pennsylvania may be com­ pared with that of Michigan, both against the Quakers and against the Badgers, nnd a conclusion possibly reach­ ed. If Wisconsin and Michigan display about equal ability the Western cham­ pionship will necessarily be still in doubt. of banks are ea;tcciallj instructive. By them it fat shown that during the last tea in number from 8,329 to 3,585 and depos­ itors from J ,650,044 to 2.744.459; savings banks from 849 to 942 and depositors from 3,811.069 to 5,207.658; State and private banks from 2,995 to 4.947 nnd depositors from 1,071.260 to 2,888.326; loan and trust companies from 120 to 260 and depositors from 177,601 to 624,198. The total number of banks of all kinds increased 2,421). or 34 per cent, while the increase in depositors was 79 per cent. Loan and trust companies show the larg­ est increase in point of percentage, and also in percentage of business secured. It is in deposit*, however, that the full extent of the financial growth of the country is best reflected. Deposits in national banks increased from' $1,442,­ 137,979 to $2,522,157,500 in ten years; in savings banks from $1,444,391,325 to $2,­ 182,006,424; State and private banks from $5904168,199 to $L228.9954M4; loan and trust companies from $299,612,899 to $835,499,064; total increase from $3,­ 776,410,402 to $6,768,058,361, or. $2/192,­ 237,959. The total percentage of increase in deposits ifa the ten years was 83. Na­ tional banks increased 8. per cent, sav­ ings banks 51 per cent, State and private banks 109'per cent ami trust companies 178 per cent. Some idea of the difficulties U ofc- Sam a ill encounter when he begins to educate his new Spanish-Americau wards may be obtained from the report of the Commis­ sioner of Education. This shows that the enrollment of scholars ’of all age* In the United States is now 16,687,643, or nearly 20 per cent of the population. In Cuba last year, with a population of 1,­ 4.5,771, the enrollment was only 67,473, or only a trifle over 5 per cent, and in addition it murt be remembered that most of the schools are such in name only. In Porto Rico the figures show-an enrollment of only 27,936, with a popu­ lation of about 890,000, showing that the wretchjrd schools of the island are attendedCby only a little over 3 per cent of the total population. The percentage of illiteracy is about 87 per cent for both whites and colored. Thus far, under military rule, it has been possible only to encourage and protect the native schools. Hereafter it will be necessary to inaugurate an American system in Porto Rico and to lay the foundations at least in Cuba. President McKinley is busy preparing his annual message, and this requires a large share of his time. A great jrnrt of the message consists of the summarizing of official reports, and these portions the President dictates to a stenographer. But whenever.he comes to a place where he wishes to express bis own opinion ‘or ideas, he drops dictation and writes by hand. As soon as,he gets to such a place he leaves his stenographer and goes to Mrs. McKinley’s sitting room. All his writing is done there, so that he may l>e in her company every moment of the time that the monotonous repetition of dictation and correction will not annoy the invalid. It is said that in his mes­ sage the President will urge rutention of Philippines, immediate stable territorial government for Hawaii and Porto Rico. The Cuban question will be left open. Secretary of the Treasury Gage issued an order to purchase $25,000,000 worth of bonds, the primary object of the pur­ chase being the immediate relief of the New York money market. There is a plethora of cash in the treasury, and the Secretary decided it was a good time to give the people an opportunity to soil their bonds back to the Government. The order for the bond purchase indicates two things: That Uncle Sam has plenty of cash in his strong box, and that the business of the country is remarkably large and requires considerable cash in its handling. The bonds that are asked for are those maturing in 1904 and 1907. Secretary Root will a>ik Congress to make a deficiency estimate for caring for and housing the military balloon plant, which at present is neglected. The idea of an army balloon has not been aban­ doned despite the unsatisfactory results of the trial of the apparatus used in the Santiago campaign. The reasons of par­ tial failure are attributed to the anti­ quated outfit which the army used on that occasion. Admiral Dewey to-day is subjected to ns great annoyance by persons .who wish to satisfy their turiosily and’ pay him homage as u hen he first returned to this country after the victory of Manila Bay. For the ten months of 1809, ending Oct. 31. the balance of trade is favor ot the United States was $370,867,157.’This is $89,302,069 less than the balance for the same time last year, due to the fact •that, although exports jumped $41,344,­ 579, the impjjrTs of merchandise also in­ creased by/the large amount of $130,­ '646,648. • It Is proposed to use monster search lights in the military operations around Manila, and a portable device of that character will lie shipped to the signal officers for trial in actual service. The tests with the light at home have wiggested its value in the field, especially in night marches aud operations. CHURCH AND CLERGY.

T was Thanksgiving Day. and thia Is the story as it was told by Miss Pep­ per. the fine needle worker, at the woman’s boarding house on Tenth street: "You see, my dears,” siid Miss Pepper, who was like a sweet faded old rose in the group of eager young women about her, "the trouble wjj,U Jack Brice was thia: He was heelrover head in love with my cousin, Margery Lee, but he was loo poor to marry. “He lived with his uncle, Tom Brice, of the Mansion House—old Squire Brice, as <11 the county called him, though he wasn’t more than 50; nnd naturally when they both came courting Margery, her father favored the squire’s suit moot. But Margery favored Jack’s, and showed it •openly. “A man may be ns rich an Croesus, but when he’s choleric and up in years—none too good in the bargain—he needn’t expect to make much headway with a love aick girt of 20. Long-legged Jack’s good looks outweighed the squire’s gold, but when her father found out which way the wind was blowing he forbade Margy to see him again. She said nothing, for she was not a girl to talk. But every night she wrote him a long letter, that she would hide in a hollow tree stump, and that Jack would come and take away. > “Sometimes, too, in the early morning, hardly daylight, she would jump on her bay mare. Hornet, and dash two miles down the river to the ford, where Jack would be waiting, and would swim his horse over from the other side, just to have five minutes’ talk with her. “Ah, but they were in love, I can tell you! And I never saw a better matched pair—both so good looking; both so full of life! "Whether my uncle'ever heard of their goings .on I don’t know. But he stopped talking against Jack nnd urging the •quire’s suit He only told tin. Margy and me both, for I lived with them, that old Tom had him in his power and could ruin him. and now that she wouldn’t marry him he was going to take his revenge. “Then he fell aick, and seemed likely to die. and my poor cousin waa in a terrible Quandary. “She loved Jack, but she loved her father, too.. And she felt it waa worry that was killing him. “One terrible night, when we were almost expecting my uncle to breathe his last, Margy fell on her knees and promis­ ed she’d marry the squire, and he nt once begtui to get better with astonishing quickness. “She wrote Jack one letter, one curt, cold letter, that she sat two days over; •Ad that he tore io half and sent back H —as women can pray sometimes—for the very daring tiling that did happen. # “That night, I remember, it stormed. The wind howled, nnd al! along the coun­ try road tlie big oaks swung their arms and creaked as if rqjdy to fall on our rumbling old carriage. “It was Thanksgiving nigirt. n festival not in favor in the South in those days, and we were going to the mansion house to a family dinner. The wedding was only three days off now. and the squire had taken a fancy to keep it in honor of his coming happiness. “When we rolled up xo the open door­ way there he was, magnificent—in a rose­ bud satin waistcoat, and with a flower in his buttonhole, for all the world like a bedecked old turkey cock! " ‘Welcome to the Mansion House,’ he said, gayly, as I bundled up the stairs first. "And then to Margy, though quite loud enough for me to hear: Tn three short days!*—meaning, of course, the marriage that was to leave her in his home forever. “She winced as if he had struck her, her face ns white as her muslin frock, nnd I verily believe that if he hadn’t walked her into the dining room on bis arm she would have fallen. “What sort of a dinner diJ. they have? Why. the best in the world, you may be sure! “The Mansion House wns the finest place in’ the county—for that matter in all South Carolina—and the squire knew good living, and tbe big mahogany table fairly groaned under cut glass and silver. “Uncle and I were at each side, and Margy was nt the foot in the place of honor; where, three times a day, she was soon to face bld Tom, until death should mercifully take one nr the other of them out of the* world. None of us talked much; none, even my uncle, who was emptying goblet after goblet of-wine to drown his thoughts. And when the squire stood up suddenly with his champagne glass to toast the bride- a froxen bride that look­ ed ready for the tomb—I almost welcomed the Interruption that followed. “ To the bride!’ repeated the squire, L’P AND AWAY. $ | FEPTO-QIHNINE | O O OO eO 4A O O ♦ ♦ O eyes, bis rage knew no bounds. Tour friend, the devil, gave you money enough to buy a wife,’ he kept saying, shaking the squire as a cat would a mouse; "but by heaven it*s only over my dead body you’ll get her!* “ ‘Defend yourself, you old rascal,’ he yelled, 'defend yourself, for, kin or not, we are one too many on earth.* ••There was a pair of swords crossed on the wall, slender, murderous dueling swords, and,- tearing them down, he flung one to his uncle, and .in a moment they were fighting like mad, parrying, thrust­ ing and feinting, with a dexterity sicken­ ing to see. “For the squire? yob must understand, was an experienced swordsman; he bad pinked his man in his time; but, fired by love and hate, and always a good fencer. Jack was a match for him. One moment it wns he who was doing the parrying. The next it wns the squire. And presently, ns if in a dream, I could see my uncle and Prince, the negro butler, standing on chairs and putting out the candles that were fastened to the antlers of the deer heads against the walls, in the hope that this would stpp them. "But it did nothing of the sort; it only made them all the more determined to kill each other; and directly in the.pitch dark, after a moment’s groping—groping that sent an icy chill to the roots of my hair— their swords clashed, and we knew that the duel was not yet over. "Margy fell tipnt'across my lap and my uncle began ttrpray. **A1I I could think of was to hope that Jack would beat, and with my heart In my mouth I sat staring at the sparks that flew from their swords anfi waiting for the end. “At last, after an eternity of time, a time made up of appalling silence and mad, blind, loomings together—nnd again that hideous groping—there was a cry, a fall, and when the frightened negro made a light again, there was the squire, pinned by Jack's sword, through an ear, to the floor, and there outside the window were Jack nthl Margy clinging to each other on the same horse and ready to dash off into tlie night ‘JWell, my dears,” said little Mias Pep­ per mildly in conclusion of her spirited recital, “of course, they got married and lived happy ever after. "And equally, of course, the squire melt­ ed in time and forgave them, and tore up the notes he held against my uncle. “And to this very day. if any of you should go to Buck Forest, anybody there will tell yon how Jack Brice won his bride on Thanksgiving night”—St Louis Re­ public.

We could get nothing but the ordinary rations, but we had prepared for that by starting a company fund several months before for the purpose of supplying a Thanksgiving dinner. There must have been something like $-10 in the fund, and our cook kept the disposal of this fund a profound se­ cret It seems ridiculous now, but I don't believe that any child ever waited for the coming of Christmas morning | ble day. Thanksgiving had fallen that year on Dec. 25, and the combination of ovaeuatibn day and that festival were long jointly honored in New York. The Thanksgiving day of 181G is tnemorable as the occasion upon which an American theater was first illuminated with gns. This event happened in Phil­ adelphia. The experiment wns a com­ plete success, and the manager of the affair wns Dr. Kingler. During the war, of the battles and skirmishes fought on Thanksgiving, the most notable was that of Lookout mountain (18U3). A few odd and distinctive methods of celebrating 'the great holiday still sur­ vive in different parts of the United States, although the tendency is toward a uniform manner of rejoicing. In sec­ tions of Connecticut, for instance, the "Thanksgiving barrel burning” Is a timehonored institution. For a month before tbe day Connecticut boys diligently col­ lect and store in a place of security all the barrels, old or new. which they can find. All barrels are regarded as the property of whomsoever can carry them away. On Thanksgiving night the bar­ rels are piled In a huge heap and ignited. Boys and girls then dance around the bonfire until the very last barrel has gone up in smoke.

It may interest your readers to hear of the determined efforts of a mother cat to save her kitten from an untimely death. The two had a luxurious bed on the top of some bay In a barn, but one morning, while the old cat waa away, the farm people came. and. not noticing the kitten, burled It under six feet of freshly cut grass. Four hours later I heard of this, and waa told that tbe kitten was dead and buried under, the heap of grass. A friend and myself immediately set to work to see If the kitten could still I* saved, and we dug downward* into the grass and made a king beareh. tbe old cat Intently watch­ ing our proceedings.

The British war office received a cable­ gram from Gen. Buller confirming the report of the loss of 100 men north of Estcourt.

The Natal Advertiser of Durban has n dispatch from Estcourt r,»'.a>un which woicu says: ‘When part of the armored train was overturned by the Boers turning up the rails the British alighted and exchanged volleys with the Boers.

The London story of preparation for war between Russia aud Japan over Corea h pronounced by both the Rus­ sian and Japanese legations in Washing­ ton aa ridiculous. Alexander Paoloff, the Russian minister to Corea, is at pres­ ent the guest of Count Cassini, the Rus­ sian ambassador. Mr. Paoloff said that1 he left Corea only four months ago, go­ ing to St. Petersburg, so that his infor­ mation was direct and official. . "I assure you there is no basis what­ ever for tbV reports of conflict between Russia and Japan over Corea," be said. "On the contrary, the two countries have entered into two formal compalbi by which it is agreed that the independence of Corea shall be maintained. These compacts were concluded at St. Peters­ burg aud Tokio, and they are so explicit that the reports of conflict as to sov­ ereignty over Corean territory show an entire ignorance of the written agrecmeut under which Russia and Japan are acting toward Corea.” MILLIONS IN THE SCHOOLS.

Nature makes an extra effort in tbe spring to rid the blood of its impurities, and the filters of the blood—the kidney* and liver—are called upon to perform an enormoua amount of labor. As a reault, they become tired and ex­ hausted, aud there are backacbea, aideaches, headaches, and paint in the shoulders and limbs. Digestion is de­ ranged, and the languid, exhausted feel­ ices of apring cause misery to tbe body. There is only one means of making the blood pure, and that ia through tbe kidneys and liver—the ’filters of tbe blood. By acting directly on these d>-‘irate organs, Dr. Chase's Kldney’ -r P:lls purify the blood aa no other ■ ualton was ever known to do. Wm. L. Msurey, Scottsville, N. ... writes: ‘‘Liver complaint and im­ pure blood were the bane of my life for yean. My face waa covered with pimples and blbtebes, and I could get nothing to help me until I tried Dr. A. W. Cbaae’a Kidney-Liver Pilla. My akin is now clesr, and I conaider these pills invaluable as a remedy for consti­ pation, liver complaint and impure blood.

A Washington correspondent asserts that there is a very general disapproval of the transfer. Admiral Dewey is se­ verely criticised upon the ground that good taste dictated the house given him THE HOOSE GIVK.X DEWET by the people in grateful acknowledg­ ment of his services to the. country should hare been kept in his own name as long as he lived. Subscribers to the fund are already writing indignant letters pointing out that they gave their money to buy a house for Mr. Dywrjr, not for Mrs. Dewey, who is already- a rich wom­ an. Some of the largest subscribers to the fund have demanded the return of their contributions, and they are quite bitter in their comment.

Tbe nu,mber of employes canvassed- was 1,021, an average of $4 for each road. Tbe average age of all employes was 33% years. Of the whole number canvassed. 754. or about 74 per cent, were native born. The canvass as to the social conditions of the employes shows that 752 were married. 245 single and 24 widowed. Of the ma'rrietl em­ ployes, 575, or 70 p\t cent, have children at home numbering 1.020. The ntiml>er of persons depending upon the employes for support is 3,192, sn average of about P- The 1,021 employes canvassed have worked at their employment an average of five years each, and they receive an average of $1.72 per day. The wa$cs paid to different classes of employes is as follows: Superintendent*, $2.48; as­ sistant superintendents. $2.05; foremen. $1.83: machinists, $1.83: engineers, $2215; assistant engineers, $1. 5; firemen, $1.96; motor inspectors, $1.94; electricians, $2.08; carpenters, $1.79; blacksmiths, $1.83; painters $1450; linemen. $1/12; conductors, $1.76; motor-men, *1.72; trackmen, $1.32; barn men, $1.45. Eight J*r cent-of the employes assert that the work is dangerous to their health. The canvass shows that 85 per cent of the men work by the hour, their wages aver­ aging 18 cents an hour. Only 4 per cent report an increase in wages during -the year. Nearly, 50 per cent report that they can save something from their wage*. Twenty per cent of the men own their homes. Labor Commissioner Cox has coniplet ed a canvass of fifty-fire manufacturers of light and heavy vehicles, sleighs’ and cutters in Michigan. The largest car­ riage uftnufaeturing centers are Pontiac, Flint. Kalamazoo, Detroit and Jaeksm, in the order named. The aggregate amount of capital invested iu the fiftyfive concerns is $3,672,200, the average capital- for each institution being $66, 767. The factories manufactured 371,­ 760 vehicles of all kinds In 1898, an aver­ age of 7.587 to c a ch factory. The aggre­ gate value of the output for 1898 was $9,208,447. the average for each factory being $189,968. The average value of each vehicle manufactured was $25. For­ ty out of the fifty-five firms canvassed re­ port that the output for 1899 will exceed that of 1898, the per cent of the in­ crease being 43. The number of em­ ployes in the fifty-five factories at the time of thp canvass was 4.984. an aver­ age of ninety-one. The average for the year was eighty-seven to each factory. The aggregate weekly pay rolls were $44313, an average of $814.82 for each *factory, —•—-. The average daily pay of each employe . . • was $1.55. Thirty-four of the firms employ graveling salesmen and en twenty-one do not. The number sales­ men employed is 144. The annual report of Michigan mines nnd minerals by Commissioner of Mineral Statistics George A. Newett. just issued, says; “In giving the reader a practical illustration of the Michigan minerals which mother earth has yielded in the year. I will present tbe following homely picture: If all the iron ore produced -for the year in the State of Michigan were cast into a steel rail weighing 50 pounds to the foot, the rail would encircle the globe one and one-belt tftnes. If the re­ fined copper taken from the mines were drawn into a N°- 1 - telephone wire, that wire would reach around the world 29 1-5 times. If the barrels of salt man­ ufactured jn Michigan for the year 1898 were set upon end. they would make an unbroken line 1.300 miles in length. I estimate the marketed value of the min­ erals produced in the State for tbe year at $38,825,000. Of this amount. I credit iron ore with $18,450,847, copper with $16,834,670. aud salt with $2,(»U72.” AVefietoWePrqtaralionforAs- The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature Hess anS BcstContains neither ApcrfectRemcoy forConslipa1 ton, SourS tomach.Diarrhoea, Worms .Convulsions .Feverish­ ness and LOSS of Sleek TacSinile Signature ot KEW YORK. of Use For Over Thirty Years CASTORIA EXACT CO PT OF WRAPPE8 SOMETHING NEW | rtPTO-QUININE| > • • A «• A A * Something new iu the way of a medicine, composed of Pepsin, Quinine, and other entirely harmless ingredients, combined and compounded in such proportions as to form a remedy.

SOME CURIOUS PATENTS A novel idea in the tea and coffete line recently patented consists in • placing enough of the article for one brewing in a smidl porous sack and attaching it to a metal weight, which sinks to the bottom of the pot when dropped in. An Ohio woman has patented a tea­ kettle attachment which willpreventit from swinging around ag&inst the hand when tilted to pour out the water, a piece of wire being secured to the ride of the kettle and extended to the han­ dle. Fish are easily caught by the use of a new spring hook, comprising a single piece of wire bent to’form a spring at the center, with barbed books at the ends, the latter' being crossed when the hook Is set and spreading apart when taken by the fish. A Frenchman has patented a com­ position for closing punctures in pneu­ matic tires, consisting of gutta-percha, a balsam, birdlime, turpentine, a sst.united solution of celluloid and a solv­ ent to prevent the mass from harden­ ing Inside the tire. A Georgian has patented a driving bit which can be used to give medical treatment to the animal, the center of the bit being hollow, with screw-thread­ ed ends, to which flexible bulbs can be attached to contain a medicament, dis­ charging it into the horse’s mouth. Flies and other insicts are exter­ minated by a Missourian’s unique de­ vice. a small lamp being suspended over a tub of water, with vertical screens on opposite sides of the flame against which the inserts strike as they at­ tempt to circleuround the light, falling into the water and drowning. 7uuuuuu*uuuuuu^7Uuuuiuuuuuiuuu^ A POSTMASTER'S VIEW OF IT Al SURE CURE FOR CROUP.

M- on the 22nd of De­ cember by tlie Ideal Entertainment Company, is undoubtedly going to be one of the finest that has ever visited our village. We draw our conclusions from the most flattering press notices that this company are receiving wherever they play. For instance the Daily News of Saginaw, Michigan, recently devot­ ed a third of a column on iu editorial page to describing this entertainment as rendered in that city on the previ­ ous evening; declaring it to be one of the most novel and interesting enter­ tainments that hud visited that city. We have also seen a letter written by one opera house manager to another, in which he refers to this entertain­ ment as follows: “they showed here last night to a full house, and it is the best show of the kind that has ever been here.’’ This same Company went through this part of the state last season,,giv­ ing excellent salisfaction. This sea­ son, however, they are out with an entire change of program and are offering many more instructive and amusing attractions than ever before. It is good for the mental man as well as for the physical man to go out occasionally and have a good laugh. It s a Pleasure REAL WARMTH My son has been troubled for years with chronic diarrhoea.

To ascend to the room which the distracted mother pointed out as the sleeping apartment of. her child by the stairways was an utter impossi­ bility, as they were completely enveloped in flnne. None had the hardihood to atfompt It; but when ladders wore brought nnd placed against the walls, more than twenty intrepid firemen sprang forward to the rescue of the unfortunate little girl; blit when they haj gained*the win­ dows, they found .it impossible to enter, as tbe smoke was gushing in clouds so th’ek, so black, and so sCifluenting. that they deemed it as impossible to exist one moment within the apartment, aa It was to recognize objects through tbe opaque atmosphere. A youth of slender propor­ tion# was seen ascending the ladder, with mi sir of determination that seemed to inspire the crowd with new hope. He leaped into tbe apartment, remaining there but a very short time, aud yet It seemed to those ^plow a long, long while —the pain, the suspense, the hopes, the fears .of an age were crowded in that brief moment. At last he reappeared— hut alone. An exclamation of disappoint­ ment ran through tbe crowd; but before It had died away, another youth of nearly the same.age nud size sprang upon a sec­ ond ladder, nnd commenced ascending to the window. Tbe stranger was Horry Sutherland; he hnd just arrived at the scene of action, nnd was learning the cause of the deep excitement, when a beautiful female, whose dress was dis­ ordered, and whose hair hung disheveled down her back, seized him suddenly by the arm. "Will you rescue my child?" asked the mother; and observing that Harry hesitated, she bounded wildly for­ ward. and seized the rounds with the in­ tention of mounting herself; but the youth caught her as suddenly- and. push­ ing her aside, be rushed up and leaped into the glowing apartment. There succeeded a 'dead silence, and then a tremendous crash announced that some part of the Interior had given way; but the fears of the multitude were iu a moment quieted, on perceiving that the floor of the upper apartments was still entire. Another moment elapsed, nnd then arose onje of the longest, loudest and most exultingj shouts that ever rang upon the ears of created man; again that wild burst of delight reverberated on the night air. and again, and again, until the very city trembled beneath the universal jubi­ lation. The mother, frantic with delight, look her child from the arms of her deliverer, and after gazing fur a moment in its beautiful eyes, she clasped the darling to her bosom,and covered its sweet counte­ nance with kisses. That was the happi­ est moment of Harry Sutherland's life, lie felt then, a# he gazed upon the cherub lie had snatched from destruction, nnd the mother he had saved from misery, that it was not iu the province of man to enjoy raptures of bliss more divine than those that at that moment thrilled in his veins? but few of the millions who have passed from the cradle to the grave ever experienced that exquisite sensation of delight—be was himself a stranger to it forever after. It was not until the transports of (he mother had subsided into a calmer cur­ rent that she once thought of him who had rescued hey clsffd; then, indeed, the thought that be, had been so long neglectcd rushed painfully upon her mind, and. depositing her precious burden in the arms of her household, she took him by the bund, -but;' not finding words to ex­ press her gratitude, she fell upon his neck mid burst into a flood of tears. •’Brave, noble, generous youth!" sobbed she. “it will never be in u-.y power to reward you. but my blessing, a mother’s blessing, shall attend you wherever you go. nnd a moth­ er’s prayer shall nightly l-s* offered up for you to Him who only can recompense the disinterested act you have just perfortn- Harry Sutherland was diktrcMed: and yet he was happy. Tears were in his ejes, but joy was at his heart; and, glaij, at length to escape from observation, he sought his way out of the crowd, and turned toward another and a more silent quarter of »he city. But he.was followed lei- a second person: the strange youth who bad also endeavored to save the child. jFurjHiR* -him through every street and lanrhe traVfcrsed for nearly a quar­ ter of an hour. At length the latter bestetied bis pace, and, touching Harry upon the shoulder, the two were confronted lace to face. The stranger, thougn he had sought an interview, remained silent, as if be had expected the other to address him, and Harry, surprised at length that he spoke not. demanded what he required of him. "Nothing." replied the strange youth. • "Then why have you stopped me?" ask­ ed our hero, somewhat angrily. "To tell you." replied the other, "that M*u have robbed me." “Robbed you! Of what, pray?” "Of the gratification of rescuing that child." "Are yon mad?” “No. sir." ■ "Then what Is your ux-aning? I don’t understand yon. Your language to me is all an enigma." "You have received approbation to­ night which should have been bestowed upon me. I wa* on the very eve of dl*r tinguishing myself, nnd you came and blasted my hope*." “Fool!" exclaimed Harry, nettled at the other's inconsistency, "you had abandon­ ed tbe project in despair before I ottempt- “I would have tried it again; I would hare ultimately succeeded," laid the stranger. "Perhaps so," replied Harry; “but since the child has been saved, what matter* it to you?" "What, matters it to me!" said the oth­ er, repeating bis companion’s words in undisguised astonishment. Tbe stranger spoke not another word, but turning upon hi* heel, he walked off. leaving Harry Sutherland to resume his way and muse in mute astonishment over “that you couW explain away your ofpMity that the inmate# had scarcely time that encounter. - For Cotte and spread, in That’s a practical question!

Every farmer who plana to do a'large season's work cannot overlook the Im­ portance of having his year’s supply of fuel on baud and ready for use not later than April 1. With some It is not a very hard task, for in many lo­ calities where' timber Is scarce coal is largely used for heating and oll for cooking purposes. During the past ten years a number of different kinds of trees have been dying, and the farmer who owns ten or more acres of hard M'ood timber finds that tbe dead trees fiCi-'umulnte In spite of tbe fact that the quantity of fuet ls larger each year ns the quality deteriorates. Some farm­ ers were wise and sold off tbe varieties that were subject to decay and tTvold-. ed a loss from this source. Others, however, were In hoj>es that they would be able to use the diseased trees for fuel before they became worthless. Here is where they made a mistake. And this is wj?y we see so many old dead trees in tha woods.

The Seed Distributiop .Sake. Who gets any real and lasting benefit from the Government free distribution of seeds? Most of our horticulturists will answer. "Nobody but tbe man who gets tbe contract for furnishing tbe seed.” A writer suggests that this money. Instead of being spent in this way.be divided up into generous-sized awards to be given to the men and women who'develop and originate new and valuable varieties of fruity, grains, vegetables and grasses. As a rule, tlie person who has the genius and pa­ tience to develop something valuable has bls product taken away from him by all nurserymen and seedrnen getting it after tbe first year or so. thus enab­ ling him to realise but little for his la­ bor.

The supreme teat of strength bet wee* the Boers and British in western Cape Colony occurred Tuesday, when Gen. Lord Methuen’s column, advancing to re­ lieve Kimlwrley. was opposed by the main Boer force at tbe Modder river,’ I twenty-five miles south of Kimberley. The action commenced with the artillery, ‘ mounted infantry and the guards on the ■ right and the Ninth brigade on the left. Methuen’s force attacked the Boor posi­ tion with a widely extended formation supported by artillery. Gen. Methuen found himself in front of the whole Boer force, comprising 8.000 men, with two large guns, four Krupp* and other pieces. The naval brigade rendered great assist­ ance from tbe railway. After desperate, hard fighting, lasting ten bones, the Brit­ ons, without food or wati*r, under a burn­ ing sun, made the enemy quit his posi­ tion. That the slaughter was enormous cannot be doubted. Gen. MctlfUcn him­ self was wounded and CoL Northcutt and Lieut. Col. Stopford are among the dead. In the short space of seven days Gen. Ix>rd Methuen, with a British force of 7.000 men, marched fifty-three miles nud fought three important battles on the western border of the Orange Free State. In each of these engagements the British were victorious, bat at a cost that is very severe to so-small a body of combatants. From the outset the Boers have coiujiell- face DEAth AT SEA.

Of djuree, -the "syndicate’’ was a barefaced swindle. . There was nothing new in its plan. Scores of like swin­ dles have run their course, milked their w. f. mill kb. victims and been copiously exposed in the newspapers. The only novelty about the New York con­ cern lay in the circumstance that it out­ did all predecessors in the openly fraudu­ lent character of its scheme. In short, it promised depositors a return of 10 per cent a week to be won in stock exchange speculation. It actually paid this rate on deposits fur more than-a year and at the time of its collapse ia said to have had on hand something over $1,000,000. The wonder is where people of so little sense got so much money. One day just be­ fore the collapse Miller claimed to have taken in $80,000 and paid out $30,000 in . interest. . Attention was directed to the .place, bnt, in the absence of complaints, the police and district attorney were unable to act. The banka shut down on the syndicate, however, when depositors be­ gan to grow alarmed, and demanded their money back. Miller announced that he 'would not pay a dollar without a week’s notice.

VIEW OF IT Bloomingdale, Ind., Feb. 30, 1890. Pepsin Syrup Co. Gentlemen:—After having given Dr. Caldweirs Syrup Pepsin a fair trial in my family. I unhesitatingly pronounce it a great boon to all suffering ;from indiges­ tion, constipation and dyspepsia in all their forms with all their train qfevil con­ sequence. I have fought dyspepsia and constipation of a severe character for 25 years, have employed the most skilled physicians that I could reach, hare spent hundreds of dollars and now I find more relief in this pleasant remedy than I have found in anything else. To all persons of sedentary occupations in life. I wish to say, buy it and use it. I -have spent 12 years at the jwatmaster’s desk, averaging 14 hours per day. and know now if I had had this remedy years ’ ago it would have saved me much suffering. Respectfully Yours. W. M. McCoy.

The reason is found in its rich drinking qualities; in its permanent goodness. The quality never changes. Whether you buy^B it of a big coffee dealer or at a little grocery store ■ around the corner, you get the same coffee, the same good- w| F ness, the same value for your money. You can’t beW deceived if you buy . ARBUCKLES’ Roasted Coffee It is prepared by an individual firm who value their reputation too highly to endanger it by lowering the standard of their coffee. It is hermetically sealed and put up in packages by people of many years experience and utmost reliability. It is not ground because ground coffee loses two-thirds of its flavor before reach­ ing the consumer. It is not sold in bulk because of the possibilities of adulteration. It is not sold at a high price because it is better to-sell millions of pounds of coffee at a small profit than hundreds of pounds at a large profit. Every package of Arbuckles’ Roasted Coffee con­ tains infonuation about many valuable articles that the consumer is entitled»to receive. Ask your grocer for Arbuckles’ Roasted Coffee. ARBUCKLE BROS.

NUMBER 16 MOORES ARE FREE EVIDENCE PALPABLY INSUFFI­ CIENT TO MOLD THEM ARE COMPLLTELY VINDICATED After Hearing ail the Evidence on the Prosecution Prosecuting Attorney . Thomas asks Justice Mc­ Laughlin to Dismiss the Case. The examination' of James and Wesley Moore, charged with the rob­ bery of Joseph Normorosky, was con­ tinued ,in Justice McLaughlin’s court Monday morning,and came to asudden and sickly end at noon, when the re­ spondents were dismissed at the re­ quest of the prosecuting attorney. Several witnesses were examined for the,prosecution, but no new light was thrown on the subject. . J. C. Furniss testified.to seeing part of the mix-up in the blacksmith shop. It was in the front end of the shop and heard Mbore say, “That is my son,if my boy can't lick you I can.” Saw MDore and Jew pushing each other. Miss Frieda Zemke beard the noise of the row from her dressmaking rooms across the street but did not see it. She said the men were fooling and scuffling all afternpon. Mrs. Henry Glasner said when Normorosky got the five-dollar bill changed she saw money in his pocket-book, but could not say how much. A penny dropped out of the pocketbook on the floor, and she thought there was more change in the book. She thought he put the change she gave him back in the book. Normorosky had said in his testi­ mony that he never carried any change in the book—nothing but bills. He also said the fuss occurred in the back purl of the shop. He was put back on the stand and said he saw something black on the back steps o! Moore’s house when goinir from Beigh's office to his room. He thought it was his hat, and went to see, and found it was. Also said again that he did not miss his money until after he had gone up­ stairs and had' nearly finished his supper. ) J. S. Beigh was recalled and testi­ fied that the Jew told him when he came from the blacksmith shop that he had been robbed, and that was be­ fore he went up.stairs to get supper. Also testified that it is not possible to see the back steps of Moore’s house from any part of his lot, which Nortnorosky crossed in going from the office to his room. Also said that when Normorosky started to go away he asked him for the balance of his rent money, fifty cents. He claimed he didn’t have it*, but Qeigh insisted on having it, and after much parley Normorosky went down in his pocket und fished out th® money ana paid him. He then gave him another half­ dollar to pay Mrs. Moore for cooking for him. Ben Hecox was the only witness sworn for the defence. He said the Jew came down to his house the next morning after the trouble and asked him what he wanted with him. Told him he didn't want to see him and he started to go-away. Ben then said, ‘‘I hear vou lost some money last night?” ^The Jew said “No, I didn't lose any money.” Asked him’ again if he didn't lose some money, und he said, “No, not a dime.” Normorosky had sworn that be went down to see Ben and asked him to arrest the men for stealing his money, and that Ben told him he would have to go to Hastings. . Attorney Colgrove then addressed the court "for a few moments, giving it as his opinion that Normorosky couldn’t tell the truth at all, under any circumstances, and was followed by Prosecutor Thomas, who was un­ doubtedly of the same opinion, as he promptly asked the justice to dismiss the case, which he accordingly did.

Pink­ ham'S Vegetable Compound, und would like your advice in regard to my case. I have taken medicine, but do not see that it has helped me much. I have such dreadful cramps and pains at time of menstruation that it seems sometimes as though 1 could hardly stand it. I would be so thankful if I could find b cure for my trouble. Please t^ll me what to do;”—Miss Lu.lie M. Collier, Pigeon Run, Ohio, April 9, 1890. “ I received your letter in reply to mine and I followed your kind advice; have taken four bottles of your Veg­ etable Compound.

Pinkham's Vegetable Com­ pound has done for me. For five years I suffered untold agonies at time of menstruation. I have now taken twelve bottles of Compound and used three boxes of Liver Pills and am en­ tirely cured of the dreadful pain 1 used to suffer. I advise all those who suffer with female weakness to write to Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn. Mass."— Miss Lillie M. Collier. Pigeon Run, Ohio, May 10, 1899. Two More Women Who Acknowledge the Help They Have Received from Mrs. Pinkham. •‘Deab Mfis. Pinkham—The doctor says I have congestion of the womb, and cannot help me.

Pinkham—I followed your instructions, and now I want every woman suffering from female trouble to know how good your advice and medicine is. The doctor advised an operation.

Mrs. Pinkham has Fifty Thousand Such Letters as Above—Any Woman Can See the Great Files which Contain Them, at tier Of­ fice—She Makes No State­ ments She Cannot Prove. What will Congress do? is a question to which some thousands of American newspaper* have attempted to reply. Nor is interest In it confined to this country or this continent. What the Fifty-sixth Congress at its first sekalon. which might lawfully lie extended to the first Mon­ day In December next, but which will, in all probability, end, several months before that time, -will do must inevitably । affect, not merely the material interests ; of all our people, but-their political views -and acts. And as no man in any com­ munity “livcth to himself," so no member, and especially uo great member, of the family of nations can avoid some, degree of responsibility toward other members of that family. Recent events have.made our country more influential in Interna­ tional affairs; have made other nations more inclined to study our politics and policies, and have charged us with great­ er responsibilities touching the interests of other countries than would have been deemed possible lx*fore the war of 1898 began. These facts account as well for the intense domestic ns -for the greatly augmented foreign concernment la the doings of the Congress now in session. Plucky Act of Miss Myrtle McAtccr at PittsburK, Pa. Miss Myrtle McAtcer, the tennis play­ er, choked a mad dog to death. The dog was bounding along the street and every­ one was making way for it as Miss Mc­ Atcer came out of the gate nt her home atAVood and Hill streets, Pittsburg. In­ stead of attempting to shun the dug she suddenly clutched it by the throat. She held the beast until she became exhaust­ ed. Then she loosened her grip, but the dog was so weak that there was no dan­ ger. He died later. Miss McAteer's dress was badly torn in the struggle with the animal, but she was not Injured in any way.

Before the House met the Re­ publican and Democratic lenders attempt­ ed to perfect an agreement for the de­ bate on the tinaneinP bill. But the nego­ tiations failed.

It pro­ vides for the consideration of the bill continuing until a date to be decided upon by the Committee on Rules.

In his lecture on "Nerve Vibrations," said that the rate of trans­ mission of nerve impulses could not be more than teh«M*-tw<*lre times a sec­ ond. Prof. Rfchet states that If one tried to think a set of words In suc­ cession he could never pass that speed, and could not receive a more rapid suc­ cession of sensations on vhe same or­ gan. This period, then, might lie called the psychological "unit of time.” If the rapidity were greater, sound, elec­ tricity and light would be- perceived as Ind* pendent undulations, not con­ tinuous sensations; were it slower, one would see tl»<* motion of the hour hand of a watch and the growth of a tree.

There she stood; he beheld her. a dirtaity in beauty, but. for the life of him, he could not advance. A thousand tumult­ uous emotion'; agitated him, nnd hope, the enchatxtress that had buoyed him up fur year*, deserted him at last. A moment more elapsed, and he was still unobtserred. He felt that his.htippiues'. nrited.^-ntireb- upon Ms rec«»tioD. _A smile, a word, a look would1 deride everything, and Captain Sirtlivrlaud, who had braved the wrath of the tempest', .and the terrors of the battle, hesitated before the glance of a woman. Another mumeaTa reflectiou convinced him of his weakness, aud blushing to have felt it, he advanced. She raised her eyes; those hazel eyes, beaming with graeioosuess, met his own: and though they sparkled with pleasure, and though she greeted him with the kindliest attention, there was something in her manner thnt chilled him to the heart. She was easy aud dignified, and. though viva­ ciously courteous, she seemed studiously calm. Scarcely had the first compliments of meeting passed between them before she acquainted him with the gentleman be­ side her; aud. though this was q neces­ sary politeness. Sutherland fotdisbly deemed that, under rhe existing circum­ stances, this ceremony should have been forgotten, or at least for a little while postponed. Another circumstance also contributed to strengthen his unfounded suspicion; she had. previous to his ar-. rival, engaged herself//or every quadrille that she would remain to dance, and though she acknowledged this with pain, he had not the generosity to appreciate her motive*, nor the magnanimity to for­ give them. Jealousy had at that moment made him what ho would have blushed to have thought himself before—a selfish man. The music broke forth, the quad­ rille began, and Captain Sutherland turned away disappointed and miserable. Our hero bad not perceived that he wa* an object of general attention, so wrapped up waa be in communion with hi* own thought*; and the bright glances, the sweet smile*, aud the whispered inqulries that followed his appearance, were all lost to him. "J wander who it i«?” ejaculated Miss Araminta JLxxvealck. "Cousin Harvey, do ascertain something about him, for I am absolutely expiring with curiosity."

SOMETHING NEW Fourteen Mistakes Au English paper gives a list of what it terms “the fourteen mistakes of: life.” While there are undoubtedly! other mistakes than those mentioned, ' the list Is a fairly comprehensive one. j It Is a great mistake to set up our own standard of right and wrong, and judge people accordingly; to measure the enjoyment of others by our own; to expect uniformity of opinion In thia world; to look for judgment nnd experl-1 enee in youth; to endeavor to mold all dispositous alike; to look for perfection in our own actions; to worry ourselves nnd others with what cannot be reme­ died; not to yield in Immaterial mat­ ters; not to alleviate all that needs al­ leviation as far as Ilea In otir power; not to make allowances for the 1 itirmlties of others; to comiider eve;ything impossible that we cannot perform: to believe only what our finite minds enn grasp: to expect to be able to under­ stand everything.

All of our customers know by experience that we carry a clean, fresh and wholesome stock of groceries and if anything does hapjien to be under the usual standard of excellence we are always ready lu make it right. Owing to these reasons people say to their neighbors ‘‘at ,E. B. Townsend & Co.’s is the best place in the county to buy groceries, ‘and don’t you forget it.’ ” 10j Discount !

Mr. Lake is a general hustler and is doing his part to boom the busiaess. A permanent hay market in this place would be a good thing and it is hoped that the farmers will appreciate it enough to support the undertaking. Some few week ago a complaint was made to the board of health about cows owned by Asa Noyes and Frank Price, the complaint alleging that the cows were unhealthy. The board of health notified Dr. R. W. Hooker, V. S., who made an examination of the cows and found the Noyes cow suffer­ ing with tuberculosis and the Price cow tfith paralysis. He recommended that the Noyes cow be killed, but as it was not done the case was reported to the state vetrinarlan and Saturday Dr. G. W. Dunphy and Comfort A. Tyler of the Michigan live stock san­ itary commission came here and drove out to see the cattle, in company with Dr. Hooker. They confirmed the di­ agnosis ui ojuuoie of Dr. .juunvi Hooker uuu and 'ordered xnuc.wi the Noyea cow killed.

Those who attended the lecture on .“The Authenticity of the Bible,” given, by Eiihu Chipman at tire opera house last Sunday evening, beard one of the finest lectures ever given in Nashville. The speaker surprised even hi* roost intimate friends by the very able manner iu which he present­ ed his subject, which gave him full scope for his exceptional talente. The logic was clear, forceful, convincing, and gave the audience many new thoughts abdut a subject which has been discussed until it would seem there was no new ground to thresh over, and still one of the most promi­ nent topics of the present era. No man could listen to this lecture with­ out having a broader understanding of the merits of the scripture*, and of their application to every-day life. Those who missed the lecture missed'a rare treat. The Michigan crop report for De­ cember says the temperature for No­ vember was four degrees above the nor­ mal, while the precipitation was an inch below in the lower peninsula.

"It is indeed—the bitter truth—may God in his mercy protect ua," said his wife. “And how long have you lived in this cosy cottage?" askpd the stranger. “Fifty years, sir. My father built it I married the good wife you see beside me in it. I reared a big family in it. but they’re scattered far away from us now. Rome of them. I'm afrrerd. I'll never see again. Our oldest boy I’ve not heard from In ten years. He was sent into penal servitude for the pan he took in the 'rising' of ’67." “What was his name?" "Redmond O'Hara.

"I am only a small farmer, and cannot afford to pay Lord Leech the heavy taxes that are yearly imposed on my owe time and money without a haporth of help from his lordship.

Having finished his meal he relit hia pipe, drew his chair' near the fire and became more conjniinnlcatlve. "You seem to be a conversable man," said the host, “and I’m proud of your company; if you like to sleep under this I roof to night you are heartily welklm, i and we’ll spend a pleasant Christmas day together.” "You are too kind, sir,” said tbe stranger. "But I accept the invitation.” "Of course," said the farmer, "you’ll have to take pot luck with us; be have no dainties to offer you, but there was a time when a prince* couldn't find (suit with our table on Christmas day. when we could spread before yon turkey, roese, ham, lamb and almost every delicacy un­ der the blessed sun. but them times have passed away like the snow.” "God blew you and your good wife, sir, for the cordial welcome you have.given to the poor stranger. It reminds me of the gay old times when I was a happy boy under tbe roof-tree of my parents, when we loved to pass the Christmas eve by the cheerful fireside, singing the old songs of our persecuted land, and listen­ ing to the ghost stories and the fairy tales until the hour arrived to attend the midnight mass. In an evil hour I was caught with my pike while attending a moonlight drill in the mountain gap. A mock trial took place, and a packed juryfound me guilty of high treason. I was loaded with chains -and hurried off in a conYtct ship to Western Australia. I es­ caped, and after many perils I was re­ ceived with open arms in the land of the Stars and Stripes by my expatriated I soon amassed great countrymen. wealths You would scarcely imagine me. as I appear at present in these tattered garments, to be a rich man, but. to prove the truth of my assertion, here is a bag containing a thousand sovereigns.

I present it to you as a Christmas box.” ‘ "A bag o' sovereigns," cried tbe fann­ er. “Oh, sir, you must br one o’ the good fairies in disguise.” "If this happened in America." said the stranger, “you would undoubtedly call me Santa Claus." "Whoever you are.” cried tbe farmer’s wife, “you must be something not nat­ ural to be tantalizing poor people with the sight of a heap o' gold like that.” “I give you my word I am neither ghost nor hobgoblin, but real flesh and blood." said the stranger, throwing off his white wig and beard and standing erect at his full height. “Now examine my features well and tell me if they bear any resemblance to Redmond O'Hara, your convict son!" "Oh! Redmond! our own gra bawn!" exclaimed hia father and mother simul­ taneously. "Yea, it is," said the mother, caressing him. “he has the same auburn hair." "And the same proud light in his manly blue eyes,” cried his father, grasp­ ing his son's hands. “Ob. Redmond. Redmond, this sodden Joy is almost more than we can bear." "Now, spare me this hugging and kiss­ ing and hand-shaking," cried their son. "if you don’-t wish to kill me with too much kindness. You can both snap your Angers at Lord Leech to-morrow. We’ll have our own home, our own land and our own cattle as well as his lordship. And to-morrow we'll fill the table with turkey, geese, lamb, ham and every lux­ ury in season and out of season that money can purchase.

CHAPTER VI.—{Continued.) “I shall hare pleasure in giving my »erviccjj to Captain Sutherland,” replied the lady, courtrayinrf'most gracefully. "Your kindness, madam, overpowers me with gratitude,” sjild Harry. •‘And now, ray dear captain, having volunteered as your chaperon, it devolves upon me; like the man in the phow, to explain the genus and specie* of the ani­ mals around us, but before I begin you - must do me the favor to -tell me fairly and candidly If that thing you dominate - your heart is perfectly unscathed by the arrows of the little boy with the wings.” Harry Sutherland sighed; for his life he could nut have suppressed that sigh, and for awhile lie was even penaive. “Admirably dune!" exclaimed-the lady; “a more feeling groan could not have em­ anated from an expiring pair of bellows— pray, sir, did you practice with those In­ struments?—a ud the countenance, too—so melancholy—so softly sad—do you 'ever read the ‘Sorrow* of Werter’?” . “Yes, lady, and sometimes feel them.” “No doubt of it—even now I can fancy you. in my imagination, seated upon a rock,- by monlight, whistling ’Love’s Young Dream," and looking most ineffa­ bly forlorn.

I* she still unmarried?” "No; Duchess of Tremaine now—gave her away myself; splendid affair that wedding; nutmegs expended on the occa­ sion came to exactly one thousand pounds sterling.” “How much I regret that our acquaint­ ance bad never commenced earlier!" Theue word* were addressed to Captain Sutherland. The speaker was a young widow of exceeding beauty, and one whose diplomacies in the Court of Love had attached to her person more admir­ ers than sighed nt the feet of any other woman in Washington. Mistress of a large fortune, still beautiful, ami still young, she was the idol of the other sex. But, though she smiled on all, encourag­ ed their advance* and returned their pro­ testations, she withheld her hand, nnd still maintained her influence. She had not met with Captain Suther­ land before this evening, and had resolv­ ed, even before seeing him, to add him to her train. She bad more than one motive for this resolve; she wa* Jealous of the attention lavished upon Anna Hamilton; they were rivals, and Mrs. Trevor was too covetous'of homage to share" It with one even so beautiful as her younger nnd faiiyr companion. ' Sutherland bowed low on receiving her flattering speech. "Think you, Captain Sutherland, that true happiness ha* ever yet existed in the breast of a single representative of tbe human family ?” "Why, to be candid, Air*. Trevor. I do not think it has. Ileal happiness Is a non­ entity; for tbe most contented have still some hope ungratified. some fear unal­ layed; but I believe that there are a few who are more satisfied .with existence than the many, and who’bear the ills of life with more cheerfulness, nnd It* evil* with greater resignation." "True, I grant yon," returned the lady; "but yet I think I can point out one in this assembly who is, or rather who should be, truly happy." “Mrs. Trevor speaks of herself." “Oh, no, sir; accuse me of anything but egotism—I allude to Mias Hamilton." “Mias Hamilton!" resumed Sutherland, somewhat seriously; “she, indeed, de­ serve* all the blessings.of life. If beauty, virtue and innocence prove any security against misfortune, ahe is, and will be always contented; qualities like these could rear a paradise in a desert." "You speak feelingly. Captain Suther­ land. and yet with becoming gallantry." “It is a subject, madam?, that should not be treated with levity, and as to the gn Hun try of my speech, I have only to add that I should be extreuely sorry if the virtue* of my countrywomen were only told by the tinsel-tongue of flattery." “Thank you—thank you a thousand times!” ejaculated Mr*. Trevor, la that soft, thrilling half whisper that .«be nev­ er assumed without effect, and bestowing at the same time a glance upon Suther­ land that intoxicated almost to lore. “Oh, my friend, I owe you much for that kind, that generous sentiment!” And Sutherland took her small white band, and there was a slight pressure, and their eyes again met, nod Anu* Hann ilton was for a niomtot forgotten. Then followed a conversation pursued ia low nnd measured tonre; the gentleman's manner was apparently suaalve and sin­ cere, he seemed to unheed every one in the interest be betrayed in bis compan­ ion. while she at times averted her head, then again turned her large eyes ing with tenderness upoa him, then tijrake for a moment with unwonted anlmsrion. then hesitated, blushed, sighed, smilud, and resumed again. Tbe siren had tri.umpbed; and when«at-last they’ parted,. it wns resolved that Sutherland should see her early on the following day. There was a spectator who felt as much interest in that scene as those more im­ mediately engaged in it. A fair yoong creature, exhausted with the exertion of dancing, had undmugnedly seated herself within a few feet, and upon the nofa oppoalte to that occupied by Mr*. Trevor.' She raised her eyes, she gazed a rooiDent ' in something like wonder; then her coun-1 tenant? became a* pale a* the lily; ahe faltered a few word* to the gent lemon who attended her. and left tbe aaloou for the remainder of the evening. When Sutherland quitted Mrs. Trevvr; ' hi* eyes roamed iu search of Anna, but she was not to be seen. He passed Into another nnd another apartment, but sbe was nowhere visible; and a feeling of loneline** came over him that not even the Itright eyes of the beautiful widow could have dispelled. “The dove ha* flown. Captain Sutlwrland,” rniid Mr*. St. Clair, who guessed, from hi* abstracted manner, the seanat*on* of hia mind. “Nt»r will ahe return with tbe branch of olive." “Asd why not ?" asked be, with a smile. “Ask your bear!, traitor, if it has not l>ent Cor another within the last hour." “Nay. but Mr*, fit. Clair, the needle «otnethne« strays from the star it wor­ ships, and yet i* not distrusted.” “True, air; but in love we make no allowance for variation.” “Then I must infer that Anna is no stranger to my—what shall I name it?" “Faithtesanes*. or something worse— folly, if you like it better." “Well, then, call it folly." “Capsain Sutherland, love may be blind, but jealousy i* Argua-eyed." "But I may be yet forgiven; one error cannot surely exclude me from all favor." “She may excuse your i&eoastancy ; l>ut bow can I ever pardon your bad taste? Oh. sir, to desert, even for one moment, such a one for another one! Fie upon you! 1 thought you an adept!" The lady passed on. and Sutherland sighed, as a txxnp&risoD between Mrs. Trevor and Anna HaflMta* was thu* forced upon hl* mind. The reader can well iusxgine In whore favor h resulted.

On tbe following day he called, but' found Mis* Hamilton not nt home. “Strange!" muttered he, and, in a spirit of piq'ue he turned hi* horse’s head to­ ward the dwelling place of Mra. Trevor. Seated on the sofa. In the voluptnon* light that streamed through the damask curtain* from the half-closed windows, sat the htdy pf tbe mansion? Never be­ fore looked she so enchanting; she had studied to captivate, and her smile, her posture, her array, ’lier voice, were so many irresistible sobservients to her wishes. "Oh! I am so happy,” said she. taking the band of her visitor—"so 'happy that you have not.disappointed we! I wa* indeed afraid that you would have for•gottep to come.” "Then would I have»fooli*hiy depied myself a world of pleasure. But, truly, the society of Mr*.

"Nay, but you know, Captain Suther­ land, that the strongest fears surround our brightest hopes. But sit you down; I Itave niuch to *ay to you, and old Time, when I feel gratified, filches from me halt my trne allotment of momenta.” And then the lady assumed .that confi­ dential and affectionate manner that, in a pretty woman, never fails to enslave. Her voice grew low, soft, and thrilling; her smile sweet* and daxxling; her eyes sparkled with love; nnd her sigh seemed but the breathing of happiness.

It then marched to the old vault, to which the remains of Washington were consigned Dec. 18, 1790, moving by the sum,** path and in the same order as in the funeral procession uf 100 years ago. The places of honor nt tbe vault were given to the representatives of the lodges with which Washington was identified in his lifetime.

Lr-FSW? —trrrrrrrrr There bus never lieen nny affection frittered awny between the Michigan Insurance department aud that of the State of Wisconsin since a disagree­ ment which occurred about ft year ago. and the tyro departments are nqw like­ ly to have another retaliatory war In regard to the taxes upon fire insurance premiums. Wisconsin- has for several years taxed the Michigan companies 5 per cent upon the premiums received in that State—2 per cent being a fire department tax. Insurance Uommls■loner Stevens baa been trying to se­ cure a reduction of the tax to 3 per cent, by requesting that the Michigan companies be allowed to deduct the fire department tax from the retalia­ tory tax, according to the custom in New York ami Illinois. Commissioner Giljohatui of Wisconsin refuses to do this upon the grounds that the fire de­ partment tax of Wisconsin Is not a State tax apd also, that It Is levied against the agents and not the com­ panies. and. therefore, the.Michigan retaliatory law cannot' apply to this kind of a law. However, tbe Michi­ gan commissioner baa again urged the matter upon the Wisconsin depart­ ment, quoting a decision of the Wis­ consin Supreme Court that the tax is a tax levied by the State nnd also de­ ciding that It is a tax. against the com> panics an<l not the agents. There are only abopt. $45,000 of premiums col­ lected by Michigan companies in Wis­ consin. while there are nearly $200,Ooo of premiums collected iu Michigan by Wisconsin companies.

If you’re paying a high price, you’re probably paying as much for a name as for the coffee. Arbuckles1 Coffee is a plain, substantial coffee with an excellent aroma and delicate flavor, sold in a substantial way at an honest price. You don’t want better than good coffee, do you ? You can’t afford to pay twice the price that’s necessary, can you? Then why not get Arbuckles’? Get right down to the coffee many question and settle it now. By ‘buying ' millions of pounds we buy the best of many large plantations at a low price. We sell it to you at a low price because we would rather sell millions of pounds at a low profit than a thousand pounds at a big profit. Arbuckles Roasted Coffee is the daily beverage on millions of tables. Why not on yours? There’s an additional consideration in the many substantial and useful articles that go with the coffee. Ask your grocer for it He’ll tell you all about it. If he endeavors to substitute an imita­ tion, insist .on getting the genuine Arbuckles’—or go elsewhere. ARBUCKLE BROS., New York City, N. Y.

WOES OF BEGINNERS. It la in composition, whether dealing with history oh mere essay subjects, that some of the most entertaining finds are ftnbedded. A sixth-grade English youth, writing upon the difference be­ tween town and country life, observes that “country people are very simple and are held in contempt by the high­ er class of Londoners. London people are rarely so healthy as countrymen, but it ia not thought genteel if a per­ son has a red face." ‘ * The atory is told of a young German who always carried a dictionary in one tail of his coat—the other tall held a note book and a grammar; He wanted to pay a young lady a compliment dur­ ing a walk on the esplanade and got as far as: “You—are—’’ Then he hesi­ tated. “Valt vpn meenit," he said, ex­ citedly. “I vill see."

FINE GOOD STOCK PRICES SAID BY A WOMAN. I hate women who are ’’emancipat­ ed;" I like them born free. For a woman to be much respected often means to be but Uttle loved. Men love women not for what they are, but for what they seem. The wom­ an who is better than she looks never gets -credit for her virtues. I am alwaye sorry to hear of a wom­ an having written a great booif it hr so oftbn the outcome of unhappiness. Happy women feel and do not think. It is woman’s greetert curse that in too many of her moat tragic woew there enters an element of the ridiculous which compel® her to be either silent or absurd. Women are often apparently hard be­ cause they are too spiritual-minded. They do not always comprehend a standard lower than their own. If they were a little more earthly they would be softer if Jess admirable. The number of women in society who are too delicate to do anything they dis­ like is remarkable.

If kidney trouble Is allowed to ad­ vance the kidney-poisoned blood will attack the vital organs, or the kidneys themselves break down and waste away cell by cell.
