Current Opinion A Singular Suggestion. It is a little singula.- that several na­ tions who have agreed to refer certain differences to the Hague arbitration tribunal for adjustment should quite Ignore the existence of such a body aod its purpose, and suggest arbitration by an executive or a nation that would avoid meddling in other nation’s affairs. To sidestep io that fashion would sug­ gest several purposes on the part of tbe claimant powers. A number of the powers which signed the Hague conven­ tion did so because they were ashamed to refuse after al! their protestations of good feeling aod good intentions. Few of them seem to regard the tribunal as anything practical. Some would prob­ ably be glad to see It pushed into the background by seeking some other ar­ bitration. If President Roosevelt would accept the preferred office he would be a party to the plan, whether Intentionally or not, and then the other powers having differences for adjudica­ tion would seek outside references until the Hagu? commission might sink out of sight in neglect. Detroit Tribune. A Reflection on the Hague Tribunal. ■ esta of the eaak the convention affords the utmost satisfaction, bat to those who represent agricultural conatisaenoies it is the occasion of worry and anxiety. Following the usual custom of bls party, Secretary Hay has secured the most signal advantages for the man­ ufacturing and other vested interests, to tbe disadvantage of tbe agricultur­ ists. , The p. ospects for the ratification of the treaty are not as rosy as the admin­ istration organs represent. Senator Burrows, after examining tbe treaty, has said jthat he will form no opinion as to its worth until after tbe national beet sugar convention, to take place in Washington next week. The Califor­ nia delegation is strongly opposed to tbe treaty and is attempting to form an alliance with the New England delega­ tion which Is earnestly opposed to tbe Hay-Bond convention, which will per­ mit New Foundland fish and bait to com­ pete with the New England industries, and to tbe Kasson treaty with Franco which win permit French silks and no­ tions to compete with numerous NewEngland manufacturers. In this situa­ tion Senator Lodge finds himself in a serious dilemma. His friendship for the president prompts him to vote for the Cuban treaty, but his seat in the senate woul,d be imperilled by the neg­ lect of any opportunity to defeat the French and New Foundland treaties. Under these circumstances the senator is doing a great deal of thinking but is not talking for publication. It has remained for Germany and Great Britain to force the republicans to declare their position in regard to the Philippines. When the treaty of Paris was negotiated it bad not entered tbe mind of any republican that the United States was acquiring territory with a view of its submission and per­ manent control. At the most, it was as­ sumed that a protectorate was to be formed over the Philippines, which were in other respects to enjoy the privileges of self government. This be­ ing the case the "open door policy” was guaranteed in Philippine customs legis­ lation. Tbe United States was to seek no advantage in the Philippine market not guaranteed to other nations. Later, however, the Philippine Commission imposed an export duty of 87 50 per ton on Manila hemp and fiber. This dm.5 was rebated when tbe goods were sent to the United States and accordingly the powers have entered a protest. Tbe administration refuses to see tbe justice of the protest and states its position as follows: it says that it is impossible to maintain the door to the Philippines ‘‘as wide open” as the door to China, for instance, as tbe Philippines are a possession of this country and must be regarded as in the same relation with tbe United States as are tbe British Colonies to tbe parent nation. The president has shown excellent good sense in refusing to be drawn into .•controversy that might easily embroil the United States should there be the least intention of bad faith on the part of any of the principals to the Venezue­ lan controversy. It. is as difficult as ever to comprehend why Germany and England desired the president of tbe United States to act as arbiter.

Tbe young man spoken of could not help hearing the remark, and he blush­ ed deeply as he kindly bade his play­ mates of past years good morning and a happy new year. He was medium sized, blond and boyish, with a budding mustache. He was attired In tbe height of fashion. “Goin’ callin'?” asked Ike Maddox, with a grin. The young man stopped politely to answer that he was. "Mam know it ?' asked another of the gang. Conscious of the intention to offend, young Mr. Deery blushed again to the roots of bis hair before he answered: "1 have no secrets from my mother, of course.'' Tbe corner gang roared, and Jim Smith, the first to recover from the general spasm of merriment, asked the greatly embarrassed Mr. Deery, honor bright now, if he was not going over to Oliver street to call on tbe Misses Wilson. The questioned one felt as keenly as any honor jealous knight of old could have felt It that thia was an outra­ geous trespass on forbidden ground, but he remembered hla mother’s pre­ cepts, and he replied, scorning alike evasion and resentment: "I am going to cal) on Miss Mary Wilson.” The laughter had hardly had time to begin again when Bill Evans raised his hand to check it HJs face was very grave. "Look a-here, Percy,” he said. "We’re friends of yours If we do guy you once In awhile Now, don't go to Wilson's today on any such business.

"Perhaps he’ll take a smoke, though," sneered Dick, bent on making Percy ridiculous. “Offer him the box, Mr. Wilson." Percy took a cigar. He held it In bls left hand while be sipped his lemonade and chatted with courteous Mrs. Wil­ son. He began to grow brilliant and bold. Mary’s eyes brightened. She was getting proud of him. Presently Mr. Wilson said something about politics to Holloway and they differed. Hollo­ way grew loud in his disputation. Turn­ ing suddenly to him, Percy said: “Mr. Holloway, stop! You are quite mistaken.” Even Dick was silent in his astonish­ ment Mary grew fairly radiant “Will you have just a little wine, Mr. Decry?’ asked Mr. Wilson, rising with a new and joyous inspiration. There might be good stuff in this chap, after all, according *o his views of good stuff. . "From Mary's father I will not re­ fuse to take it" was the astounding reply. Tears stood In Mary’s eyes. She had •been so proud of his sudden show of spirit but now he was going too far. •She shook her head at him secretly. It was enough. As Mr. Wilson poured out the wine for him he arose, took her hand and, raising the glass, de­ clared that be was about to propose a toast “To tbe girl I love, Miss Mary!” he cried, and. putting down tbe wine un­ der the reminder conveyed with pres­ sure of her band, he took up his lem­ onade and quickly gulped it down.

Tbe younger Miss Wilson, by the way, had no sweet- "That’s what I call a down—hie— right Insult to Mr. Wilson !” hiccough­ ed Holloway. “Come, young fellow. I’ll drive you downtown. I guess I'd better take you home before you make any more bad breaks.’’ He lighted his cigar as he' stood up. and his guests went out to tbe shed where the horse was standing attached to tbe buggy. “Mr. Wilson,” said Percy, “give me a match, please, rm going to smoke myi first cigar- I’m going to be just a little bit devilish.

The young man stopped politely to answer that he waa "Mam know it?’ asked another of the gang. Conscious of the Intention to offend, young Mr. Deery blushed again to the roots of his hair before he answered: “I have no secrets from my mother, of course." The comer gang roared, and Jim Smith, the first to recover from the genera) spasm of merriment, asked the greatly embarrassed Mr. Deery, honor bright now, If he was not going over to Oliver street to call on the Misses Wilson. 4 The questioned one felt as keenly os any honor jealous knight of old could have felt It that this was an outra­ geous trespass on forbidden ground, but he remembered his mother’s pre­ cepts, and he replied, scorning alike evasion and resentment: “I am going to call on Miss Mary Wilson."

Could it be pos­ sible? “Perhaps he’ll take a smoke, though," sneered Dick, bent on making Percy ridiculous. "Offer him the box, Mr. Wilson." Percy took a cigar. He held It in his left hand while he sipped his lemonade aod chatted with courteous Mrs, Wil­ son. He began to grow brilliant and bold. Mary's eyes brightened. She was getting proud of him. Presently Mr. Wilson said something about politics to Holloway., and they differed. Hollo­ way grew loud in his disputation. Turn­ ing suddenly to him, Percy said: “Mr. Holloway, stop! You are quite mistaken." Even Dick was silent in his astonish­ ment Mary grew fairly radiant “Will you have just a little wine, Mr. , Deery?” asked Mr. Wilson, rising with a new and joyous inspiration. There might be good stuff In this chap, after all, according to his views of good stuff. . , “From Mary’s father I will not re­ fuse to take it" was the astounding reply. Tears stood in Mary’s eyes. She had •been so proud at his sudden show of spirit but now he was going too far. •She shook her head at him secretly. It was enough. As Mr. Wilson poured out tbe wine for him he arose, took her hand and, raising the glass, de­ clared that be was about to propose a toast “To the girl I love, Miss Mary!" he cried, and. putting down tbe wine un­ der the reminder conveyed with pres­ sure of her hand, he took up his lem­ onade and quickly gulped it down.

Dick, with his broken’ jaw bound In white swathing, was be­ ing assisted into his buggy by Mr. Wil­ son just outside the window, but she had no eyes for him. “The novannovotococcus," replied the doctor, smiling, "is the bacillus of New, Year's vows, as the name implies. Look through the glass. See those squirming creatures? One got into this young man’s system somehow this morning, and be made a vow to re­ form"— “Ob, doctor, he could not. He had no vices. He was an angel until he came to our house today, and then—and then he began to (sob)—began to Improve. Oh. oh, oh!” . “Ah, I see,” said the wise doctor. “Now we force this drop of medicine into his mouth, so, and he begins to revive. Good. Now, miss, the peculiar­ ity of the novannovotococcus is that at first and while it is not numerous in the system it Inspires to good, but sud­ denly changes the bent of tbe person toward the old Adam when Its progeny.' has multiplied sufficiently. You must have seen again and again how good resolutions made on New Year’s day, lead straight to mischief. So this young man drank a little wine per­ haps?” "No, doctor, though he was just about to do it, but in all other ways be grew, all of a sudden so bold and manly and1 grand! Now, will this last—thia tend­ ency to be a little wicked ?” "Oh. yes; the bad effect always lasts; becomes constitutional, as wo say.

She raised her clasp­ ed hands and looked upward devoutly.1 Glancing fondly down on Percy Deery, she was abashed to find him looking' and smiling up at her. "I heard you," he said, stretching his arms to her. She knelt beside the lounge. They, whispered, and there was the sound of a kiss.

Out the Old, Ring in the New. 1 year 1902 (hM gone to join tbe cable past. Whatever of opporIt brought has been used or lost, uve has been run, for weal or woe, in and nations. It is a pleasing Jbt, and we believe, a true one, that last day <rf th* year leaves the .d better and farther advanced than first. For who can doubt that in economy of God’s plan for humanity re Is a constant, even though hardly Mptible, progression towards better higher planes of living. If we aro to hold thto.view we can welcome tbe New Year with feelings of ptoMUre and satisfaction, and It to rea­ sonable to think that this sentiment underlies the universal custom of hail­ ; Ing tbe new year with demonstrations of joy and words of good will. We ’“ring out the old year” because of its 1 pleasant memories, as we give our band and our blessing to a parting friend. We “ring in the new year” because of the opportunitiee and hopes which it brings us. We wish our friends a “hap­ py new year” because the spirit of the season prompts us to happiness and good will. The year 1902 was, generally speak­ ing, a peaceful, prosperous, useful, pro­ gressive year. May it be folfowed by a year that shall have even less of the evil and more of the good, so that the last day of 1903 shall see the whole world nearer the ideal towards which the revolving years are bringing it than it to on this New Year's day. An Honorable Position. , The determination of the parties to the Venezuelan dispute to submit their grievances to the Hague tribunal will meet with very general approval. This august International court, tbe first of it* kind in the world's history, was con­ stituted for the express purpose of meet­ ing such exigencies in international relations as is now presented in the trouble between Venezuela and her European creditors. Tbe international peace convention which met at the Hague In 1899 accomplished little or nothing if the Hague taibunal which it provided for is to be Ignored. But tbe acquiescence of tbe disputing nations in President Roosevelt’s suggestion to re­ fer their difficulties to the Hague tribu­ nal will not only prove a happy solution of a menacing situation but give this courts prestige and an influence which ft sorely needed. Strange to say, tbe great powers of the bld world, which were foremost in advocating such a court, have ignored Ito existence, while the republics of the “ifew world, the United States and Mex­ ico, have been the first and only nations to make use of It. Apd now, the perstetent attitude of the United States has practically forced Europe to recognize the great principle of international ar.Wtratioo. This attitude is certainly highly honorable to the United States, •bowing as it does lhe'good faith of our fwn nAtlon towards the higbeetpoesible hrinciple of action between nations, as Ompared with the cynical indifference nd hollow pretensions of European nvernments. Baron D’Estournelles de Constant, [the French statesman and jurist who is ^1Li“|mberof the Hague tribunal, in a ratulatory letter to President icvelt pays very high compliment to United States for thus saving the jDal from extinction. The followparagraph Is worth quoting: ”■5 Initiative of the United States red with the paralysis of Europe fn of the times which an Euronust have the courage to recogHcnor to your government which Mstood that, amidst the gener­ ation, some one bad to awaken re from their lethargy and lead =====«- • Tariff Revision the Remedy, ducUvenees. w ~ , m legitimate motives and are in fact 1 tbe only just excuse for the existence of any kind of trusts today. Nor can It be truthfully, maintained that the present high tariff is necessary for the success of our industries. These have passed the “infant” stage and are today reaching abroad for larger mar-1 keto. Industries that are invading every market of the old world and com­ peting with the foreigners in their own homes need no protection against the “panpeHabor” of Europe. There is a rapidly growing conviction on the part of all thoughtful Americans that the tariff must be revised, but the republican party Is not in a position to take up this reform. Ito control will fl ret have to bo taken out of the hands of the beneficiaries of the protective policy and this will be a difficult thing to do. For the protected industries and tbe gigantic trusts will spend money lavishly to hold a party in subjection that is serving their mercenary pur­ poses so effectively. Aad yet if tbe democratic party cannot harmonize it* differences, and rise to ito manifest duty so clearly pointed out by tbe trend of events, it will not be surprising to see the republican party ultimately take up this reform. For the old party, once known as the party of a grekt moral principle, is now in the hands of shifty politicians who know how to train their sails to catch the popular breeze. But the high tariff wing will undoubt- . edly control the republican party in 1904. Tariff reform must' come in ’ tbe next campaign from the democratic < party if it come at all, and we believe I with Senator Vest that if the democrats make this the paramount issue they will ' elect a democratic president and a dem­ ocratic house of representatives. Senator Burrows’ Reason. Senator Burrows has recently ex­ plained in an interview at Washington why the Cuban reciprocity measure was killed at the last session. This was a measure of justice towards Cuba; it was a measure of national honor. We had promised the Cubans that we would grant them tariff concessions, and It was a well understood condition of the settlement which we made with the Cuban leaders whereby the new-repub­ lic was to enter upon its career as a na­ tion. President McKinley and Presi­ dent Roosevelt after him, as well as the great mass of the people of this country fully and heartily favored a bill to which the country's honor was bo signally com­ mitted. The bill passed the house, though not with the help of the Michi­ gan delegation. But when it came to the senate it was given the cold shoul­ der. And why was this manifest national duty thus incontinently spurned by the republican senators? Senator Burrows tells why, and the reason will probably be satisfactory u> the practical politic-, ians of the sort that control our public policies, though it will hardly meet the approval of those who regard national honor and justice as a highest and gov­ erning motive. This is what our states­ manlike senator from Kalamazoo is re­ ported to have said: "We were or. the eve of a congressional election and an active and aggressive minority party was ready to offer amendments without end. Tbe democrats in the senate would have forced tbe republicans to a record of voting against tariff revision when they did not desire to make any such record.” . . Thus it was because the noble senator and his partisan colleagues feared that the dreadful democrats in the senate might compel the majority to vote against tariff revision when they did not want to, that they turned down Cuban reciprocity. How brave, how honorable, how high minded! A con­ gressional campaign was coming on and it would not have answered at all to go on record in a way that might give of­ fense to any American interest. The party had to be saved, and what was national honor as compared with party success. Oh, it was a shrewd, a states­ manlike move to lay on tbe shelf a meas­ ure that threatened such dreadful con­ sequences to the republican majority In congress. So it was Because Senator Burrows and his fellow senators thought more of partisan advantage than of the nation’s pledge to Cuba that they defeated this bill. Party expediency demanded its defeat, and what is there under the canopy of the heavens that a politician of the Burrows stripe would not do if party expediency demanded it! or Vest of Missouri ^trikes the 1 of the democratic position on « question when he says that 1 way to attack the trusts sucr y is through a revision of tbe schedules.» The policy of protec-n made trusts possible by shutforeign competition.

Now and then CHILD LABOR A SOCIAL WASTE, A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY By ROBERT HUNTER. Head Worker of tbe University Setfaoeat HILD LABOR 18 SUPERFLUOUS AND WICKED, A SHAME TO OUR CIVILIZATION AND AN INEXPLICA­ BLE CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY. IT IS A SOCIAL WASTE. To shorten childhood in any way is to restrict growth of body and mind so that their full development may never be attained. All true education is based on a prolongation of the period of childhood, so that maturity may come only when the structure of life is prepared. CHILD LABOR MUST BE COUNTED WHERE IT EXISTS AS ONE OF THE IMPORTANT CAUSES OF UNEMPLOY­ MENT AMONG ADULTS. The lower wages at which children can be hired is the greatest inducement for their employment A GREAT FACTOR IN THE ENMITY TOWARD THE JEW W CBABrtS W. ELIOT. President of Harvard GREAT FACTOR IN THE PREJUDICE WHICH EXISTS AGAINST THE JEW IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT HE HAS SEEN A HONEY LENDER. He has lent money to individuals on' mortgage security. When he secured possession of lands and chattels in the collection of his debts, the dispossessed owner felt aggrieved, and enmity toward the Jew has resulted. I THEREFORE SUGGEST TO THE YOUNG JEW WHEN HE BE­ COMES PROSPEROUS THAT HE NO LONGER LEND HI* MONEY TO INDIVIDUALS. LET HIM INVEST HIS MONEY BY LENDING TO MUNICIPALITIES, CITIES, STATES, CORPORATIONS.

THE VERDICT OF JURY MRS. KELLOND TOOK MORPHINE WITH SUICIDAL INTBrfT. Coroner's Inquest and Post-mortem Examination Establish This Beyond Doubt. The inquest upon the death of Mrs. Geo. Kellond was held Friday forenoon by Coroner Lathrop. The testimony of H. W. Keables, Dr. Parker, Frank Barnes. Ida Billington, Herbert Fisher. Sheriff A. G. Cortright, Geo.W. Kellond and Mrs. F. E. Johnson brought out the facts substan­ tially as stated in the Herald last Kellond arrived in thi* city on the evening of Dec. 30 from Grand Rapids; went to the Hastings House, secured a room and left * request not to be called in the morning: on the afternoon of Deo. 31 she was found' in a dying oondion, Dr. Lowry was oaited lmtshe died in a few moments; paper* in the room ■bowed that her name wa* Mr*. Kellond and Grand Rapids her home. The chief of police at Grand Rapids was notified and it was ascertained that her husband wa* staying with her daugh­ ter, Mr*. F. E. Johnson; they were notified and identified the woman. Coroner Lathrop impanelled a jury composed of C. L. Beamer,W. H. Frost, Jos. Barnett, F. C. Brooks, E. W. Mor­ rill and Frank Herrick. After the ’ jury viewed the body, it was given over to the care of Undertaker Renkes. Thursday a post-mortem examination wa* conducted by Drs. C. H. Burton apd C. H. Barber, who testified at the inouest that the deceased’s heart, lungs ana liver were in normal condition, the stomach devoid of food but filled with gaa, and several tablets were found in different stages of digestion. Dr.. Bar­ ber tested pill* taken from stomach and some found In her room, and ascer­ tained they were morphine. " The testimony of Geo. W. Kellond, husband, was to tho effect that ahe had suffered with insomnia for a year or more, also had mental trouble, was contrary and cross, did things against the wishes of himself and child fob, had delusion that they were all against her, had threatened to kill herself and him. He had mad* application to send her to Kalamazoo asylum but it was denied; had known of her taking bromides, sulfonal and other drugs to produce sleep. Mrs. F. E. Johnson testified that she knew that at times her mother wasn’t in her right mind and suffered from loss of sleep, but did know of any rea­ son why ahe ahbuld take her life. In the dead woman’s rdom -at the hotel was an order for personal service from probate court of Kent county, issued Oct. 24. This had evidently worried her a great deal and she had written upon it “The brute beast you are” before the name Geo. W. Kellond, followed by the words “worse than.” Towards tho bottom of the paper she had written “Spare me thy vengeance, Kellond, in quiet let me die. I ask no kindness at thy hand for thou hast none ' to give.”. On a slip of paper was writ­ ten * ‘My husband and two daughters ha* been the cause of my death.” An envelope directed to “Mlfinle” contain­ ing about $4.65, pocket-book and other trinkets were found. The verdict of the jury was that “Mary Kellond came to her death by morphine poison, administered by her , OWn4umd with suicidal intent.” ‘' Mr. and Mrs. Johnson have resided > very much respected. Mr. and Mrs. Kellond have been here several time* visiting their daughter, and a* for as we are informed had lived peaceably together, but loss of sleep had produced .a change in Mrs. Kellond’* mind and she imagined her husband and daugh- ,A private funeral was held Saturday forenoon at 10:00 o’clock, at 'the^home of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson, conducted by Rev.

NEW Twenty-five Birds a Day and a Uni­ form Open Seasion of Ten Weeks. All local sportsmen will be interested in the game bill which Senator Burns of Grand Rapids will introduce early in the session of the legislature. He has adopted the suggestion made at the meeting of the sportsmen a few weeks ago and also incorporated some ideas of his own. One of the unexpected features of the bill is a provision prohibiting the kill­ ing of more than twenty-five birds by any one man in one day, and another prohibite the having in one's possession of more than one hundred birds at one time. The former provision is made to hold down the game hogs who go out and slaughter more birds than they can reasonably use. It is thought that twenty-five birds will be enough for any man in a day and the senator frank­ ly’admits that the limit is decidedly higher than he ever reached in his own hunting experience. The second pro­ vision Is made to reach the market hunters. Complaint has frequently been made about men who go out for the whole season, place their birds in cold storage until after the season's close, and then dispose of them at high prices. 'the bill also allows the sale nf veni­ son, provides a uniform season on all frame of from Oct. 1 to Dec. 15, and sl­ ows rion-residente the privilege of tak­ ing home one deer. The senator be­ lieves that there are many people de­ sirous of eating venison, but who can­ not get it unless they buy it. He says these people help to pay the taxes and the expenses of the game warden de­ partment and they are entitled to at feast this consideration Real Estate Transfers WARRANTY. George F.

It is announced Marconi is about to begin sending lages across the Atlantic st ten ia word and that after a short time 1 rate will be made still lower. If —« new system works as successfully as its inventor anticipates commercial messages as well as government com­ munications between the United States 1 and Canada on the one hand and Eng­ land on the other will soon be as cheap ! M ordinary land telegraphy, and a vast volume of wireless telegraph busihesa will soon be flashing across the AtlanI Tbe Invention of this new and Inax1 pensive process of communication is ■ likely to have momentous consequences. I' It will bring the continents of the world [ lato closer touch than ever before, and the closer the communication between nations and races of men the better 1 they understand and sympathize with ‘ each other. Sympathy and mutual un■ derstanding are great promoters of ' peace. Hence such an achievement as r 'that of Marconi is to be regarded as a signa! triumph for the principle of unii versa! peace and the brotherhood of all | mankind. I- . What the effect of wireless telegT raphy will be upon the present cable companies remains to be seen. Possibly it means their financial ruin and ultiH mate extinction. More likely it will change somewhat the nature of their ! service and compel them to reduce I, their rates without superseding them, so that both kinds of telegraphy will j exist and bo profitable. It may well be r that the cable companies will have an | E experience simular to that of moat of I the railrords and street car lines. A । reduction in fores has been more than I compensated for by the great increase j In business. But speculation upon the conseI quenoe of Marconi's wonderful inven■ tion will soon pass beyond the point of !‘interest.

If the Press wants to do tbe people of western Michigan a real good turn, and advance the highest interest bf public education it can do to by joining with the Hbrald in pushing the claims of Hastings for the new school. For' this city can present the ideal' condi­ tions for such an Institution. Its loca­ tion is in the very center of the part of tiie state to be served by such a school; stUl better when the new electric road is completed; Its sanitary oondltioh cannot be excelled; its water supply Is the purest In the state; its natural drainage is perfect; its water system, fire protection, sewerage, etc., are all that uould be asked for; and it has one of the most beautiful, convenient and appropriate sites to offer that can be found anywhere. These are some os the reasons why our Grand Rapids contemporary can do a good thing, when tho proper time comes, by ceasing to boom a useless proposition and joining us in pushing the claims of Hastings as the best pos­ sible point for the Western Michigan Normal School. .

Hence, we have made a careful study as to the requirements of fence users and we find that a x fence must have the following good features in-order to meet their approval- At A FE]V@E | V * V* ' £ Xt £ X, That will stand ordinary as well as hard .usage. That will not sag in summer's heat nor break in the cold of winter That is made of the best material for fencing purposes. That has stays that will not slip nor cannot be moved ont of place. That will conform to the most uneven ground and can be erected over hills and through valleys as well as on the level ground.

Accordingly, taking with him a couple OT lady friends, he presented himself at the door for ad­ mittance. . "No admission today, sir," said the keeper. "But I must come in.

WE DO NOT WANT'ZION RE-ESTABLISHED IN PALESTINE. OUR MISSION IS SPIRITUAL, NOT POLITICAL. OUR PRINCIPAL PROBLEM IS TO OVERCOME ANTISEMITISM. Zidnism is not feasible. It is based on the false premise that the Jews are a nation. Israel is not a nation, but a religious community. . . ZIONISM IGNORES PATRIOTISM. I LOVE AMER­ ICA MORE THAN I DO PALESTINE. The greatest blessing in- disguise that ever happened to Israel was the overthrow of the Palestinian kingdom and its dispersion throughout the world. It gave to Israel’s religious mission a greater potency and a greater field. It made of the Jew a ‘cosmopolitan and furnished him the world as a home and every man as a brother. ' I believe Israel will continue to assimilate with occidental life and will only find its way back to the orient via the Pacific ocean. ZIONISM IS IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE 10,000,000 OR 12,000,000 JEWS OF THE WORLD DO NOT WISH TO GO BACK TO PALESTINE. ZIONISM IS A THEORY OF DELUDED ENTHUSIASM NOT WORTHY OF EVEN SERIOUS CONSIDERATION. . Some one has summed the situation up by saying, “If the Jews set up a state of their own in Palestine, I will ask to be its ambas­ sador in Paris.” I think about 12,000,000 Jews would apply for such ambassadorships.

VOL. XXIIL, No. B5 ABORIGINES The “cliff dwellers," from the dizzy altitude of their apartments In the old studio building, were on terms of eemlrivalry (veiled of course by the usual billowy courtesies) with the "mound builders," who "burrowed” on the first floor. Tbe former "drew with a pencil," and the latter "did things with a pen,” and there was absolutely do ground for collision In their work, but instinctive­ ly they pretended there was (each se­ cretly wondering if the others guessed facts) merely to disguise the real cause for the friction—a man. as usual, or, rather, three men, who also "bunked” in the studio building. The sum of tbe eltuatlon was tbe cliff dwellers were the poster sort both as to occupation and personality. They dressed smartlj, chatted entertainingly, even wittily, were trammeled by no traditions and were a match in moat ways for any up to date yonng man of their ac­ quaintance. Whereas the mound builders were Dot full fledged Bohemians and far from "smart," they still had ideals and Illusions, also a chaperon, who was the mother of one of them. They bad taken the ground floor apartment be­ cause the rent was lower. When Dal and his churn and "tbe other one" spent an evening either sep­ arately or collectively with the mound builders, they came away feeling de­ cidedly jolly, almost boyishly so, on good terms with themselves and the rest of the world. “A call on the builders leaves a good, wholesome taste In a fellow's mouth," "the other one" bad remarked one night "The little girl's mother’s a brick," Dal chimed In. "She makes one feel like the time when the treetops ‘seemed dose against the aky.’ " Dallas Sinclair had dropped Id thia afternoon just for a word with Vlvacla, she of the cliff dwellers, and had stepped back of tbe screen to examine some of her latest sketches. Vlvacla had paused In the next room to slip on a pretty bouse gown. Somehow she al­ ways liked to look her best when Dal came. So It happened that while Dal was back of the screen they left the eleva­ tor and paused to study the card care­ lessly left In the ground glass door. “ ‘Back at 2.’ It’s ten minutes of. Let’s wait I can never screw my courege up to this point again.” It was the voice of “the little girl," ■he of the mound builders. Then the door was pushed farther open, and the two entered. “Oh, ma male, dear! If our den only looked like this! I wonder people ever come to see us-^-we're so ’sparse.”’ Dallas was In an agony. It would certainly not do to dlscloee his pres­ ence. His soul loathed the role of eaves­ dropper. Yet he did so want to know which one she cared for. himself or “the other one.” “If only my last wee bit story will be • 'go,’” tbe sweet voice went on, “then I can accept Mr. Sinclair's Invitation at last I suppose most of our friends real­ ly believe our ‘no place like home* excusee by this time.’' “Is that the bachelor girl story— TTips?*” the older voice asked. “Why didn't you let Mr. Sinclair have that, 'Dorothy? He told you he was on the Up to Date staff.” “Now, mother mine, you know 1 couldn’t do a thing like that. I would rather never have it printed.” *' "Well, maybe not. You’re a funny . Uttle chick of a daughter, but one can overdo even so desirable a thing as in­ dependence. If Mr. Sinclair wants to even If'he Is merely a casual acquaint­ ance”—the color crept ‘up over the girl’s fair throat—“yon would do the same for him, I jim sure.” “But, anyway, it’s lots more fun. mamale, dear,” the girl began, with an effort at llghtnes*, “to blaze one’s own “And that is why you said ‘No* to Tom Davenport last week and refused Aunt Sageman’s gifts”— “Now. mother, dear, you know Aunt Ba genian treated you atrociously not bo long back. I’m not going io swallow that just because I happen to need "Still it doesn’t do to be too proud, " dearie. Who was it—Elijah—who let himself be cared for by—wasn’t it ‘ra­ vens?” ' “Mamsie. you must read up,” tbe girl exclaimed, laughing. "Ravens are all right, or even English sparrows, for that matter, but 1 draw tbe line at tors and all the usual means of grace but—well, I just couldn’t, that’s all. It would seem nice, though,” reflec­ tively, “not to have to calculate whether my shoes will bang together I’m afraid Provi- las Sinclair was talking to me last night about his home. He has a very lovable nature, Dorothy, such a con­ trast to Mr. Mqrtlmer.” “The oth?r one? Oh, he’s just a nice playfellow. Wbat-what did Mr. Sin­ clair say to you. mother?" There was a clatter of heels In the hall, a momentarily astonished face In the doorway, the glibly false as­ surances of welcome and delight, dur­ ing which Dal silently and unnoticed slipped from screen to open door. He took the first cab for his office tn the Up to Date building to Importune the long suffering manuscript reader as to a story entitled “Tips,*’ which be rep­ resented as having been turned In by himself incog, after a bad quarter of an hour. “But wait till I touch It up, and you'll howl for It," be said. “I believe she'd forgive me If she knew,” he assured his conscience, “and I’ll tell her all about it after­ ward.” . A week later a typewritten note of acceptance, with a double dosed check, which Dorothy Id her inexperience did not stop to scrutinize (it was not from the Up to Date checkbook), made sun­ shine tn a certain dark studio and made possible a certain long deferred outing, from which two people return­ ed tired and happy as the children they really were at heart “The flat seems so stuffy after—to­ day,” Dorothy had said. “Let’s go up on tho roof just for a sen doff"— "Oh, the cliff dwellers staked that off Jong ago ns their claim," Dorothy ob­ jected wistfully. "Nonsenae' What’s that to ‘us-es?’ We'll counterstake." And they laugh­ ed as they entered the cagelike old ele­ vator. Up among the chimneys and under the stars, sitting without dis­ comfort on the edge of the ugly brick cornice— "If I only had space like this to write in,” Dorothy said, "but In my slice of a room—just a pigeonhole”— "Why, that’s all right," the man re­ turned cheerily. "You’re Just a sketch yourself yet Pigeonholes are the places for sneb things. Wait till you get to be a volume and a number of them”— "Then I’ll be laid on the shelf?" , "No; you’ll have a whole library to yourself." "I think I’ll tell you a bit of luck that came my way lately," Dorothy began after a pause, and then she re­ lated all she knew of the Up to Date incident Dallas Sinclair was properly surprised. appreciative and congratu­ latory, and when conscience twinged he repeated, "I’ll tell her the truth— afterward.” It was so good to be there tn the mellow autumn starlight bo free, so still, so—yes, so near together. “To­ getherness" is one of the good things of this dear old earth. For a moment the thought of It all thrilled the girl's sensitive being, the little white hand that was nearest Dal’s trembled and turned ita pink palm half outward, then Its owner drew It back Into her lap and put the other demurely over it The man had seen, and his heart, throbbing joyously, had understood. “Why don't you let it have its way?” he said simply, taking gentle posses­ sion of the little fingers. "How could you know?’ she acqui­ esced happily. A pair of eyes, unnoticed, emerged from the trapdoor and as quickly van­ ished. “No, 1 don't feel like going up on the roof tonight,” their owner said wearily a few minutes later to the other cliff dwellers. “I—I don’t feel— I think I’ll say good night” “Don’t squeal till your hundred dol­ lar ‘Autumn Leaf poster comes out Vlvacla,” somebody called after her. “Oh, I’ll be all right in the morn­ ing.” Women are all alike, whether they make red and green posters or dream dreams on housetops. ▲ ConscleBtl*** M*j». “I am still without a father-in-law,” •aid the drummer, “and I guess a Long Island farmer is more to blame for it than anybody else.

COAL COMPANY INTIMATES IT CANNOT FURNISH COAL. j Richard Marshall Formerly of thia I City Seriously Injured. 1 The City of Hastings is Advised to Use Coal Only for the Water Works. Yesterday Recorder John B. Roberts received a letter from the Saginaw Coal Company, with office and mines at Saginaw, stating that it was crowding them to furnish this city with coal ana advised that the city hang onto all the coal it got and not let any of it slip away. . They also advised the city to use the coal only for the water works and not sell it to any of its citizens. It is queer that all cities that attempt io nell fuel to its citizens meet with about the same difficulty in furnishing the coal. It is not because there is not plenty of it, but because the power be­ hind the throne is making a'mint of money out of It. As we understand it, the coal dealers in the city are not responsible for the price of coal being 86.00 a ton. It is because they are called upon to pay tribute to these coal barons, and, of coarse, if they have to pay a high price for coal, the consumer will have to pay a high price or go without, aod such weather as this it is very inconvenient. We opinc that the coal trust, or what­ ever you may call it, is simply driving □alls in its own coffin, by treating the people in this manner. About a week ago the manager of the company in talking with Recorder Roberts over the telephone informed him that they would furnish the city two carloads a week until further no­ tice. As the situation has not materi­ ally changed since that time, bow does it happen that the company has sud­ denly become bo fearful that it can not carry out its agreement? Nashville’s New School House. Bv the explosion of an 80-hor*e now* er boiler in the sawmill of the J. L. Gibbs’ estate at Mayfield last Thursday morning, Richard Marshall, the engin­ eer, a former employe of the Grand Rapids Bookcase Oo. of this city, was probably fatally injured. The other twenty-five employes, among whom was Wm. H. Paton, alsd a former resident of Hastings, miraculously escaped un­ injured, although the building was a mass of wreckage after the explosion. It was under a huge mass of debris piled where the engineroom had stood that Engineer Marshall was found by fellow workmen. They set resolutely to work digging away the shattered pieces of the mill and boiler. A long timber—fully a foot equare— pressed down upon him with the added weight of a miscellaneous quantity of debris. The timber was pried up with a mighty effort and the engineer released from his terrible position. Mr. Marshall was taken to the store building of Mr. Gibbs, and soon two physicians were in attendance. His left leg was broken io three or four places below the knee, both bones being fractured. The left ankle was also broken arfd a stick bad been thrust through the left knee. The right side of his face was so badly scalded that portions of the skin came off, and the right side aod arm were injured and scalp cut. The lid of his right eye was cut and badly swollen. The cause of the explosion is thought to have been that the valve in the waterpipe connecting the boiler, which exploded, with the other two boilers was shut the night -before and not opened when the engine was started in the morning. The effect of this would be to draw the water from the third boiler in case it had the highest pres­ sure, leaving the water below the dan­ ger line. It is stated that after the ex­ plosion the valve was found closed. Mr. Marshall is a member of the M. W. A. of this city. The latest report from Mayfield is that his leg will prob­ ably have to be amputated. 3 i . 1 3 I E , , . - , Nearly a year ago the Nashville school building was totally destroyed by fire. With commendable spirit the citizens took steps at once to put up a new building and they have just com­ pleted a very handsome, commodious and up-to-date structure which will be dedicated tomorrow night with speech­ es by prominent educators, music and a. reception to the public. On Saturday arrangements have been made for a big teachers' meeting, with the following program: In the morning the following topics will be discussed: “The Relation of the Hiirh School to the Rural Schools,” Commissioner J. C. Ketcham; “Some Present Needs of Our High Schools,” Supt. E. L. Lutber of Eaton Rapids; “How lo Keep Our Boys in School,” Supt. J. G. Burrage, of Middleville; “The Relation of the College to the High Schools,” Supt. Field, of Hast­ ings: Discussion, C. H. Farrell. Com­ missioner J. L. Wagner of Eaton county will lead in the discussion of Commissioner Ketcham's address. In the afternoon Supt. of Public In­ struction. Delos Fall, will deliver an address on“Manual Training in the High School.” Judge Smith of Hast­ ings will speak on ‘The School and Citizenship,” and Supt. Parmelee of Charlotte will give a short talk on "What the New Building Stands For.’’ Arthur Patton, the Cloverdale hust­ ler, has an “ad” in this issue. A meeting of the Farmers' and Fruit Growers’ Union will he held in the court bouse on Saturday, Jan. 17,,at 2:00 p.-m. for the purpose of electing of­ ficers and transacting such other busi­ ness as may come before it.

The progress of invention in subma- te rlne navigation has stimulated effort* to produce oxygen by cheaper and coa­ ler methods. If oxygen, the vital ele­ ment In air. can be supplied as wanted, the length of time that men can remain under water may be indefinitely pro­ longed. A process of making oxygen, invented by George F. Jaubert, A French scientist, promises to answer the requirement His object was to find a solid substance which would produce oxygen as calcium carbide produces acetylene gas. He selected for the purpose a peroxide of sodium or of potassium w’hlch can be cheaply ■ manufactured by electro chemical a means. It is called “oxyllthe" and is made in little cubes and pellets, some j only half an inch in diameter. When decomposed with water, it gives.off . oxygen. Two or three ounces of thia . substance supply enough oxygen to en- . able a diver to remain under water for an hour. By suitable apparatus the ’a carbonic oxide produced by respiration 3 is withdrawn into the oxygen genera­ tor, and fresh oxygen takes its place. ' RAMBLES IN RUSSIA.

The Durbar. Some ides of the magnificence of the £‘ great festival at Delhi, India, which j has just been ended, may be gathered F from the announcement that five mllHpna of dollars were spent upon it. Such gorgeous ceremonies as were used in orft. • der to celebrate in due form the acceet. *ion of a new English monarch would ’ aeem to imply that the teeming millions t of Indi* *re deeply loyal to the great E British empire of which they form a E part. It is said that the durbar was one ! of the greatest spectacles the world | ever saw. And there is certainly an k excusable pride for Americans in the E fact that an American woman, Lady ; Curzon, took a conspicuous part In the / . honors that were conferred by princes ■ and potentates upon the representatives ' <rf British sovereignty. It Is one of the most significant facte * of this interesting event that by these ceremonies three hundred millions of ; human beings signified their submission and allegiance to forty million. The ’ Indian people, with many differing , forms of religious belief, many differ­ ent races and different social and polif tical institutions, having little under­ * standing of, or sympathy with, English standards and institutions, are willing to submit, with lavish demonstrations of delight, to the rule of a far distant E king.' Three hundred million people ' of this ancient seat of civilization, swear ■ allegiance to Edward VII. * There could hardly be a more signal £ • triumph for England’s colonial system F than the durbar. Mr. Miller’s Sad Fate. That was undoubtedly a pathetic in1 cident of the opening of the legislature ■ when the retiring clerk, Lewis M. Mil­ k let, broke down and wept as he bade the members goodbye. Thirty-two years is a long time in which to retain the clerkship of a legislative body, and E during that time Mr. Miller has formed I naturally many strong associations, tbe I breaking away from which proved to be F a serious ordeal. But Mr. Miller has I himself to blame for being thus turned ■ down, or more correctly, turned out. < He ought not to have opposed-the Bliss ? machine last summer. Very likely be E thought, in fkct, knew, for he had every ft •*" opportunity ef knowing, that Mr. Bliss was a very weak man for governor. I But be ought also to have known that the machine was going to re-nomlnate t . and re-elect the Saginaw statesman, I and that any man who should dare to £ ‘ oppose the machine was going to get r hurt. For great and mighty is the g. £ o. p. machine in Michigan and woe to ■. the reckless office holder who dares to interfere. . So it must be admitted that Mr. Mil­ k lerdeserved his punishment. He ought j? not to have shown so much independ| b ence. That is a spirit not to be tolerHeated within the g. o. p. ranks, and so of r course be had to be punished.

That will not sag in summer’s heat nor break in the cold of winter. That is made of the best material for fencing purposes. That has stays that will not slip nor cannot be moved out of place. That will conform to the most uneven ground and can be erected over hills and through valleys as well as on the level ground. That has uo slack wires to spoil the appearance as well as efficiency of the fence. That does not require an expert to erect it. That is LOW IN PRICE. ‘ With all these requirements in mind we have selected, from all the vast number of fences, made today, one that is known as the , Pittsburgh Perfeet Fenee. This fence does meet all the above mentioned requirements. Hence, it is what you want. See the sample at our store.- Buy what you will need for the season of 1903 while the price is low.

To the mind of the general reader tbe term Aztec conveys the Idea of a more or less misty, extinct greatness, the idea oi a great body of aboriginal Americans of mysterious origin who at tbe time of the advent of tbe Span­ ish bad reached the acme of power and native civilization and then unexplalnedly very rapidly and completely van­ ished. • These problems—namely, the origin or derivation, the physical type and physical destiny of the Aztecs, to clear which history alone proves insufficient —have been and remain prominently the subjects of. anthropological investi­ gation. and through these investiga­ tions, In which the anthropological de­ partment of the American Museum of Natural History, New York, Is taking pd Important part, enough has already been achieved to warrant tbe hope that In not a very far future, but a little concerning the Aztecs will be left in obscurity. One result of these investi­ gations Is tbe knowledge that tbe Az­ tecs of the time of the conquest are still represented by numerous pure blood survivors. They are scattered, but still clearly recognizable by a student of tbe people, iD'the suburbs of the city and In prac­ tically all the smaller towns in the val­ ley of Mexico. From tbe valley they can be traced southward. They are nu­ merous in tbe districts of Amecameca. and tfiey occupy, though probably largely mixed with the Nahuan branch of Tlahultecs. entire villages near and in the mountainous country between Cunutla and Cuernavaca, In the state of Morelos. In this last named region •thflre are tn particular two large vil­ lages. Tetelclngo and Cuautepec, in which the Aztec-Nahuan descendants not only speak the pure Aztec language and know but little Spanish, but they also preserve their ancient -dress and ancient way of building their dwrilIngs. In both of these villages the na­ tives are almost free from mixture with whites. To estimate the number of pure blood Aztec-Nahuan descendants still in existence Is very difficult. The Aztec language Is still used by at least a mil­ lion. probably more, of the natives in Mexico.—Harper’s.

Washington, Jan. 12.—It can be au­ thoritatively stated that the president has not upon any occasion expressed the opinion that a Mormon should not be elected to the United States senate. The' president has upon several occa­ sions been asked to give his views on the situation in Utah, but has re­ frained from going any farther than to say that in hta judgment*the inter­ ests of the Mormon church would not be best served by sending one of Its twelve apostles to the senate. Would Cause Antagonism. The president has frankly discussed the matter with whoever sought his opinion, but has always done so from the standpoint of the welfare of the Mormon churdh. The presence of b Mormon apostle in official life under the public eye would, be thinks, pro­ voke antagonism and adverse senti­ ment that would result in no good to the church. The president’s attitude can be well illustrated by saying that, with regard to the Mormon church, it is the came as though he expressed the opinlqn that Episcopalians In electing a United States senator should not select Bishop Potter. Delay Smoot's Election. Dispatches from Salt Lake say that the opposition to Apostle Reed Smoot in the Utah legislature is taking defi­ nite shape and that the Indications are that a strong flght will be made before he Is elected. Hta opponents are seeking delay in the hope that something may develop to prevent hta election, and have so far succeeded in preventing the appointment by the senate of a committee -to arrange a joint caucus with the house*, which Is strongly for Smoot MR. TONGUE 18 DEAD. Expires Suddenly From Gevere Attack of Indigestion. Washington, Jan. 12.—Representa­ tive Tongue of Oregon died here after an illness of only an hour or two. He complained of a slight attack of indi­ gestion, but refused to permit his daughter to summon a physician. The attack grew so severe tLat simple rem­ edies were administered, and before Mr. Tongue realized his serious condi­ tion he was beyond the aid of medical skill. Death,was caused by acute in­ digestion, producing paralysis of the heart. The death of Mr. Tongue will probably keep in public life Binger Hermann, who will at the end of this month retire as commissioner of the general land office. Mr Hermann was defeated for congress by Mr. Tongue several years ago, and has recently been training for the United States senate, but it is understood that "he has given up these aspfratlons, and .will become a candidate to succeed Mr. Tongue. At his bedside when the end came were his daughters. Mrs. Tongue is in Hillsboro, Mr. Tongue's Oregon home, and to that place the remains will be taken for interment A con­ gressional committee will be appoint­ ed to escort the remains.

Savannah, Ga., Jan. 12.—Advices from Berrien and Worth counties, in the southern part of the state, are that a severe windstorm did much damage. At Omega, in Worth county, the hotel was blown down and a num­ ber of houses were unroofed. The wind swept a path 100 yards wide -through the town, damaging every house and uprooting every tree it en countered. At Heartsease the stacks and pipes of a, big lumber plant were knocked over. At Tifton a number oi bouses were damaged. Hotel The hardy Scotch cheviots are popu­ lar for shopping, traveling and walk­ ing costumes. The Louis XV. coat In velvet, lus­ trous silk or handsome satin faced cloth ta one of the most fashionable garments of the season. Costumes of opal gray broadcloth or zibeline trimmed with white panne vel­ vet and collar and bands of Siberian squirrel fur are just now very fashion­ able. The popularity of self colored cloth costumes remains unchanged, which ta not to be wondered at. since these handsome fabrics lend themselves to almost any kind of garniture. Some of the French and English tai­ lors are lining henrletta cloth, cash­ mere, vigogne and the other light wool skirts with plalded silks, not the clan tartans, but patterns showing very npvel and pretty color blendings. Handsome cloth costumes have ap­ peared in more stylish forms than ever, and the shirt waist in one guise or other remains a necessary adjunct to the skirt and jacket style lb which these tailor made models are made up. —New York Post CHATS ABOUT THE SWISS.

Michigan Beet Sugar Men Ara Hostile WIND Washington, Jan. 12.—Representa­ tives of the beet sugar industry of Michigan have been in conference in this city not only among themselves and other beet sugar producers from other states, but also with the Michi­ gan ' delegation in Congress. Senator Burrows, who last spring opposed the Cuban legislation then pending, has been prominent In the conferences. Senator Burrows had a long,inter­ view with President Roosevelt, during which, it 1s understood, he indicated to him that the Cuban reciprocity treaty now pending in the Senate was not satisfactory to the beet sugar Interests of hir. state, and that it was likely to encounter serious opposition unless it could be so amended as to provide that the concessions made to Cubs as to tariff rates should remain in force for five years. After mature con si deration of the treaty the Michigan sugar producers bad concluded that the trfety was open to objection In that it did not Insure stability of tariff rates for any clearly specified period What the producers chiefly desire i> stability of rates, which would enable them to put additional capital In the!: industry and develop It further with some assurance of succeae. r DON’T B MEYERS' -KIL-KOLDi ' TABLETS yOREyou havo stopped experiment* __ „ ..„.h cal aorta of medicines an rosily want io atop that cold or cough o yours, you will send 25 cts. round to th druggist and buy a box of MJCYE.R’3 KIL-KOLD TABLETS They'wilt cure you.

Neither does he He in wait and, pouncing upon a hunter, tear him into bloody shreds in delighted fiendlshnosa, as the old time stories used to tell. The change in the grizzly’s disposition is likened by veteran hunters to the change In the character of the white cousin of the grizzly, the polar bear of ihe arctics. When the stations for the Hudson’s Bay edmpany were established, tbe diaries of tbe men there often referred to the fright of attack by polar bears. Many a navigator in the arctic seas has ^een clawed and chewed to death by polar bears.

SPLENDID SCHOOL BUILDING DEDICATED AT NASHVILLE FRI­ DAY EVENING. Followed Saturday by an InferestIng Teachers’ . Meeting. Pine Address of Judge Smith. ■ The people of Nashville have good reason to be proud ot their new school house which was completed and occuple44ast week for the first time. Dur. log the past year they have bad to utilise the churches for school rooms, putting up with all sorts of inconven­ iences and bow that their handsome new structure was completed It was natural that they should celebrate the event with public ceremonies and festivitles. / Accordingly last Friday evening there were appropriate exercises at the opera house at which Prof. Reed of tho university via the principal speaker. Afterwards a public reception was held at the school building to which the citizens thronged and passed a pleas­ ant hoar In viewing the building. Through the courtesy of Editor Feighner of the Nashville News we are able to present to oar readers a view of this handsome structure. It is up-todate in every respect, furnished with modem furniture, beautifully lighted, well heated and ventilated, equipped with everything needed in the modern school room, all admirably planned for to offer m to any of these fads. They many times, undoubtedly, are effectual and give relief for some of the ills hu­ manity is subject to- So far as I am concerned, I want to be well enough to sit down witfl my family a t the table in the morning before the. cares of the । day come upon ba, and after giving thanks for so great a blessing, 1 want to eat a good breakfast and prepare myself for the cares that are to come, and when noon comes I want to be at the table again, and when the shades ot bight commence to lower, what Is there more helpful than to gather with the family at the supper hour, discuss­ ing the events of the day and partak­ ing of a meal that hard work has made so welcome and so helpful? And so I say, while these fads may do no harm, the healthy, active man is happier when he can work and eat with a relish his three meals a day. And ao also we have fads in our schools, In our educational systems and I have no disposition to criticise them for I know they are many times valu­ able. but the gist of what every school should teach, is a preparation for life’s dntbkk , Thgt Is the end In view. The schools If they turn out good clUxehs. must give them that teaching that will lead them to do right and that will put them in such relations in life that they wUl not only be just, but will ask of those about them no more than justice, and to do this, the schools muct have teachers who teach more than is found in books. .As has well been said, the purpose ofeducation Is to ledkn what to love, and what to hate, what to honor and what to despise, and it •ZT cannot , alone be learned from books, as ,i ant as book education - is. Thatsermons pertinent words: “As living beings we #re part of a universe of life; as intelligent beings we are in connection with a great circle of conscious intelli­ gences; as splritual beings we have our NASHVILLE’S NEW SCHOOLHOUSE. the oomfort, convenience and health of pupils and teachers. Such a building cannot help but prove an inspiration to the cause ot popular education In Nash­ ville. Saturday’s meeting held in the new high school assembly room was attended by many ot the. prominent educators of Barry and Eaton counties, the superin­ tendents of Middleville, Hastings, Woodland, Nashville, Vermontville, ent as well as Superintendent of Pub­. lic Instruction Fall. At the forenoon session Supt. J.G. Burridge of Middleville spoke on how . to keep our boys in school. He was , Rapids along the same line and a gen­ erri and intereoting discussion foltowed. Oommlsrioner Ketcham read a thoughtful paper on the relation of the rarri schools to the high school, and Supt. Field followed with a short paper the colleges. tbs big crowd.

In each of these spheres there is a law, a- duty, an . obligation, a responsi­ bility for us. And our felicity lies in tho discovery and acknowledgement of those ties which fit us and bind us to take our place, to play our pan, to do oar work, to live our life, where we be­ long./’ And so for a brief time, I want to address you, my friends, on some duties of a citizen, and I tell you, and I want to be emphatic about it, that an education is. not complete, yes my friends more than that, is greatly lack­ ing that does UM give us teaching as to our responsibility to a higher power. Lacking that we are too mudh at sea, lacking that, we easily sabecribe to the doctrine of greater numbers, not oaring where Ue selfishness may lead to. The grand old man of England never said truer words than when he said, “there is no such question as capital and labor, it Is simply a question of the gospel of Jesus Christ.” Can we be­ lieve the men who have had the hand­ ling of the coal mlne^during the past fall and winter, however it may be that they are graduates of great institutions of learning, as many of them are, have had the education that makes good citizeui? Men who could see want and cold in the distance and >et practically lock all approach to that which would give warmth and cheer, have not been taught in the principles that underlie goal citizenship, valuable citizenship, and do we not know that that man who called these men to the seat of government and talked to them of the rights and respooribilitiea and sent them away thinking what, their conduct means, has the elements ef an educatlon that is useful always and adds to the great wealth of citizenship. I want to present this matter of the relation of the schools to citizenship to you from the standpoint of a court dealing a 1th all clataes and conditions of society, and feeling from this experience and obeerration something of ibe needs of eiti□ot only the acquiring ot kt but th. training, dwcipilne io ot all the huulUM, phydcal, I resulls education abould be in a certain m is far from educat . out bis strong character, one upon The Library Matter. whom society can depend.

ANNUAL I SOCIAL AND UTERAHY EVENT OF THE SEASON. -------• ' Held Last Friday Evenins at the Parish House and the Attend­ ance vras Large. The annual banquet of the Bastings Women’s Club, held at the parish house ■■ last Friday evening was, as hsual, the social and literary event of the season. *’ The- attendance was limited only by the capacity of the banquet room. ■ ’‘ At six o’clock the members of the< ;• dub and their guests filed into the din-. Ing room,,to the music of Troxel’s orcheetra, and took their place* around the beautifully appointed tables. The ; room was profusely draped with the national colors and the tables adorned . with white carnations and smflax and . lighted by wax candle*, in handsome candelabra, in addition to the -electric . lights. After invocation by Rey.Geo'Bullen an appetizing feast was set before, the * ' company, prepared by our popular ca­ terer, Mrs. Ida Wood, and very nicely . ' served by a bevy of young ladies of the highschool. Muric was played dmrtng . the banquet by the orchestras. * Of course the feast was followed wiu£!|fl a program of toasts and music. No eventof a public kind under the auspices ,;j of the women’s club wonjd.be complete ■*’ without its literary features.’ Mrs. Elizabeth Barber, president of the dub, ” acted as toastmistress, presiding-over the “feast of reason" with good taste ■ and ready wit. ' After a selection by the oMhestra Mrs. Belle Burton was called upon to ••• welcome the guests, a duty whfch'she J gracefully performed. The response was made by C. F. Field Who took for his theme the words of Lamartine: / “ W oman is at the beginning of all great . things." ./ "" . \; After a solo by Mr$. Belle Headerj shott, sung in that lady’s usual charm- .. j ing manner, Mrs. Sadie Cook discussed- J “The Club Woman’s Husband^ And ’Si her discussion of that. individual was '•< witty and entertaining to a high degree.’ She was of the opinion that it migtyt not 7j be detrimental to women’s clubs if club women's husbands were admitted to . some of the privileges of the club, and . . even permitted to vote ru such impor- 1 taut questions as, “I move that we ad­ journ,” or “I move that the bill be al­ lowed.” ’ Dr. C. H. Barber then saqg a baas ~' solo with excellent effect. , > .., “Our Own Fair State” was the theme upon which Mrs. Phyllis Reynolds " based a glowing description of Michl-^t | gan, making her hearers proud that _• they lived in such a fair and prosperous commonwealth. The “end man” on the program was “j the Hon. Clement Smith, whose sub- J Ject was “Our Hostess, The Hastings J Women’s Club,” and barring his audaclous “give away” of the editor of the Herald, who he insinuated had gotten / hold of his notes and made use of them for his own (the editor's) toast, we heart­ ily approve of all he said. Seriously, however, Judge Smith was, as usual, 5 very felicitous in his humor, and equal­ ly Impressive in his argument. He . closed his remarks with an eloquent : 4 and logical plea for the proposed Car­ negie library. .

J. Patterson oi the Man-laud sta­ tion. There are three factors iu the feeding of animals that are as much neglected as any other, and. In fact, many people have come to study tbe needs for mak­ ing a ■'well balanced ration" and have entirely Ignored these essentials. The attention to shelter, comfort and kind­ ness for animals will save many a pound of food and do much toward In­ creasing the products obtained, no mat­ ter whether the returus are to oe work performed, milk and butter or meat products. Winter quarters for animals should be warm and dry and should be furulsbed with plenty of pure air and good sunlight. Stables should be well ventlluted, but without being drafty. There is entirely too little attention paid to having the stable well lighted, especial iy to having such arrangements as to admit of a flood of sunlight. Sunlight Is an effective destroyer of disease germs. v Whatever adds to the comfort of uni mate Increases their ability to properly utilize tbe food and will enable them to give better returus for that which te being consumed. Kindness is an effldent aid In making animate more productive, and it costs nothing.

In feeding for beef very different rules may be used as a guide from feed­ ing for milk. Even with the calf the ' object is to produce as much fat as possible, at tbe same time making growth. If possible, the calf fat with which it is born should never be lost, but continually added to. This means forcing with plenty of mhscle and fat­ making foods. In feeding for beef more attention should be paid to the age of the animal and period of fattening than is commonly practiced.

This certainly, will not be burdensome. To tbe great majority of our taxpayers it would not add 82 a year to their taxes. Looked at as a financial investment, it is prob­ able that a fine public library would add to the attractiveness of Hastings as a residence town enough value in dol­ lars and cents to offset the slight in­ crease in taxation. This is an age of intense oompetition, not only between Individuals, but between communities . as well. The city thst stands back and lets opportunities to Increase its at­ tractiveness slip by is going to be left behind. Our neighbor, Charlotte, Is ■fully alive to the fact and is consequent­ ly forging right to the front. It has no greater—in fact not so great—natural advantages than this city- Shall we allow Charlotte toget tbe start of us in this matter of a public library? The citizens of that town took up the Car­ negie project with characteristic en­ ergy and naw they are expending the 812000 which the multi-millionaire has given them in a magnificent library building, and they have guaranteed to spread upon the tax roll yearly here­ after the sum of 81200 to support the Now Hastings can as easily raise 81,­ 000 a year; in consideration of a 810,000 gift as Charlotte can raise 81,200 for a 812,000 gift. The question is, do the people of this city think this project is worth their while? Is it worth the •light cost which goes with it? Cer­ tainly, if schools are worth supporting, if those things which enlighten, uplift, broaden and give culture to a commun­ ity are worth the ooet, a free public li­ brary and reading room is worth the effort. Certainly if it is worth the' while to improve the mind aod inspire the heart of our youth with something more worthy of their thoughts and am­ bitions than the merest humdrum ca­ reer of narrow, eelf-oeutered existence, it is worth while to put In their posses­ sion the means of culture and rational William Murray died yesterday morning at the home of his daughter, Mrs. John Lahr, in the third ward.

Quite a little excitement prevailed on the street yesterday morning over the report that there were several cases of smallpox in the city. The boerd of health met and decided that the families of Frank Nash, where Mr. Nash is sick, and John Thompson, where Mrs. Thompson is sick, should be quarantined and an effort made to stamp out the disease and prevent its spread. Tbe Herald has been reliably in­ formed that tbe diseases called wood itch, Cuban itch, pustular eruptions, and eruptions following grip are noth­ ing but modified forms of smallpox, and if some effort is not made to prevent the spreading of the diseases, they will sim­ ply spread. . The form of smallpox now in the city is not nearly as serious as an epidemic of measles, as a death very rarely oc­ curs. It is well, however, not to leave the bars down. Dr. H. B.

THE LAST OF AN INTERESTING SERIES OF ARTICLES. Written by Mrs. Fanny M. Tower, Whose Descriptions of the Sights Have Been Well Received. The Arlington National Cemetery is located on the Virginia hills beyond the Potomac. At Arlington sleep 16,000 soldiers, who died in the war of the Union. We took the route through Georgetown across tbe Aqueduct bridge and passed through the reservation of Fort Myer to tbe Fort Myer's gate lead­ ing into the cemetery, the other route takes one across the historical long bridge to the Memorable gates, one of them named for Ord and Weitzel, an­ other for Sheridan; by whatever gate we enter the grounds we come to Ar­ lington bouse. The house is now occu­ pied by the superintendent of tbe grounds. In the room at tbe left of the ball, formerly the main drawing room, a register is kept for all guests and of course we registered our names. On the walls are hung sketched plans of the cemetery, and framed copies of the ad­ dresses and orations becoming the place. There was nothing in the bouse in the way of furniture. There were glrlsselling various souvenirs acd photographs of the grounds, with frames made from tbe old flooring that was taken from tbe mansion, they were polished and looked very pretty and sold for 85 and 86. An old colored woman came in while we stood there with horse-chestnuts in her apron she bad gathered and sold them for five cents a piece. The mansion stands on the brow of the hill, whose slope stretches away a half mile to the Potomac, 200 feet below. Tbe view here opening before one, has been pronounced one of the rarest ever beheld. Below flows the placid Poto­ mac, and from its farther shores rises Georgetown and Washington, and be­ yond, the encircling hills roll away to the horizon. In the far north stands out the white tower of the soldiers’ home; in the south are tbe spires of Alexandria. The view is wide and far reaching, and it has many attractions upon which the eye lingers long, but Washington is ever its central and com­ manding feature. Tbe grounds of Arlington are noble। in adornment. Ths art of the land­ scape gardener has beautified the sur­ roundings; there are flower-beds and lawns and a profusion of ornamental trees and shrubs, but above what the skill of man has done, and beyond it all, one recognizes the majestic beauty of the site itself, with iu slopes and ra­ vines and tbe hillsides crowned with oaks. Disposed here and there about tbe grounds are bronze tablets inscribed with the solemn measures of Col. Theo­ dore O’Hara’s elegiac, “The Bivouac of the Dead.” Tbe most impressive sight at Arling­ ton Is that of the field of the dead on the level plateau, where the headstones stretch away In lines endless to the vision. The stones are set in rows uni­ form in distances one from the other, arrayed in order and marshaled as battalions for review—a silent army of 16,000 strong. The headstones are of tbe simple pattern adopted in the year of 1872, for air the cemeteries. On each marble or granite slab is in­ scribed the name of the soldier whose name it marks with his state and the □umber by which he has been enrolled in the roll of honor. In the garden-plot to tbe south rises the temple o( fame, an open circular colonnade with low domed roof, and □ear by stands the memorial monument of tbe unknown dead. Two thousand one hundred end eleven nameless sol­ diers are gathered here in one common grave, their homes, their friends, all unknown. The Simple story, is told in the letters chiseled\?n the monuments granite face. Beneath this stone repose tbe bones of twdthousand one hundred a(id eleven unknown soldiers gathered after the war from the fields of Bull Run and the route to the Rappahannodks. Their re­ mains could not be identified but their names and deaths are recorded in the archives of their country, and its grate­ ful citizens honor them as of their noble army of martyrs. May they rest in peace. September, A. D. 1866. The slope east of Arlington house has been set apart for the graves of the officers. Near the house is the grave of General Philip H. Sheridan, whose rest­ ing place is marked by a dignified monu­ ment of granite and bronze,, adorned with a medallion portrait and'flag and wreath. Many of those who died in the Span­ ish Mid Philippine wars are buried at Arlington. “Arlington house was built in 1802. The portico with its great Doric columns was modeled after that of the Temple of Theseus at Athena. The builder of Arlington was George Wash­ ington Parke Custis, son of John Parke Custis, whose widowed mother became Mrs. Martha Washington. When Col. John Parke Custis died at the siege of Yorktown, Washington adopted as his own the two children, George Wash­ ington Parke Custis and Eleanor Parke Custis, thenceforward Custis was a member of the Mount Vernon house­ hold until after the death of Mr. Wash­ ington in 1802, when be removed to his Arlington estate, enjoying honored dis­ tinction as the adopted sen of Washing­ ton and entertaining with lavish hospi­ tality. He drew to Arlington annual hosts of visitors and friends. Lafayette was among the distinguished guests. The rooms of the mansion were stored with a rich collection of Washington mementos and memorials, most of them brought from Mount Vernon some of which are now io the national museum and others are in their original places at Mount Vernon. Upon the death of Custis, Arlington passed to the children of his only daughter, Mary Custis Lee, wife of Robert E. Lee, of the U. 8. army, to whom she had been married in 1831 In the drawing room of Arling­ ton house where today visitors register their names. When the civil war came Col. Lee resigned from the fekeral ser­ vice and In 1861 be left Arlington and with his family went tc Richmond, there to take command of the Virginia troops and after to become the commander-inchief of the confederate army. Hardly bad the Lee's gone out when the feder­ al troops took possession and converted the mansion into a headquarters and the grounds into a camp. Then as the war went on the battles were fought a hospital was established here and when available cemetery grounds no longer sufficed for the burial of the dead, the level plateaus and grassy slopes of Ar­ lington were by order of Quartermaster General Meigs devoted to a purpose of a military cemetery. The first grave prepared was for & confederate prisoner who bad died in Lbe hospital. The total number of dead buried at Arling­ ton during the war and since is about 17,000. In the year of 1864 the property was sold for delinquent taxes, and the government bought it, paying $26,000. In 187’ George Washington Custis Lee, heir under the Custis will, established bis legal title to the property and the claim was adjusted to his satisfaction by the payment to him by the United States of tbe sum of 8150,000.” I regret very much that the articles in connection with our trip to Washing­ ton did uot appear from week to week until completed, but it has been im­ possible for me to spare tbe time, al­ though when asked by the Herald to give the account of the trip I anticipat­ ed writing every week. I sincerely hope that what I have written has been interesting to all, and with this I close the description of tbe trip which I will never regret taking. Mrs. Fanny M. Tower. The Hee ALD has received many com­ pliments for the articles written by Mrs. Tower from those who took in the trip as well as others. Those who vis­ ited Wasbington praise her descriptions very highly and we are sure that all our readers have appreciated the arti­ cles.—Editor. PLAlN TALK.

Current Opinion. Monroe Doctrine Not Involved. It is well to remember that the Mon­ roe doctrine has no more to do with the oppression of a South American state than with Lhe oppression of a European state. It was not enunciated for tbe benefit of South America, but for tbe benefit of tbe United States. It is main­ tained to protect tbe Interests of this country alone, and not to protect the interests of anybody else. The “oppres­ sion” of Venezuela by Germany. Great Britain and Italy is of no more concern to the United States than Its oppression by Colombia so long as the territorial and political integrity of tbe country are not impaired. We are not the judge of the justice of any nation’s cause against, a South American republic. The historical position of the United . States has drawn the line only at the Seizure of territory and the acquisition of soverelg n ty. For th e rest, th e Sou th American countries are bn a par with all other states so far as the Monroe doctrine is concerned. They must take care of themselves in their quarrels. It is not the province of the United States to scream whenever a South ’ American republic is kicked.—Detroit Free Press. Great Transportation Plans. The business of this country is grow­ .. ing faster than tbe means of taking care • of It. A great part of this business con­ centrates or congests in the trunk lines which connect New York, Philadelphia and Boston with the west, and the train service on these lines is a marvel of sys­ tem. There is very little holding upmf trains to let others pass. There are multiple tracks, and each one is a sort. of chute upon which trains follow each other at short intervals, all bound in tbe same direction. The New York Cen­ tral has its regular four-track system and tbe tracks of the West Shore in ad­ dition. President Cassatt of the Penn­ sylvania railroad has just approved plans for developing and extending that road. The plans include a six-Arack connection between Philadelphia and New York, at a cost of 810,000,000. Six tracks are also planned for the main line between Philadelphia and Lancas­ ter, and the six-track system may ulti­ mately be extended to Pittsburg. A financial scheme to empower Che man­ agement to raise 8500,000.000 is tbe pre­ liminary step to carrying out the gen-, era! plan.—Detroit Tribune.

It is more than likely that tbe great pressure which ir being brought to bear upon Governor Bliss to induce him to appoint Thomas J. Navin member of the Jackson prison board will be suc­ cessful. The McMillan men are work­ ing for Navin, and these men are in­ fluential. Then, tbe ex-convict has a largo following of political friends In Detroit and Js himself a shrewd aod successful politician of tbe baser sort. V He,has the rather questionable taste of wanting to be trustee over the prison | in which he was himself at one time an Inmate, “doing time” for a very serious .. crime. . The fact that Mr. Navin has at one ;•/. time been a criminal would not of ‘ . course constitute In itself an insuperable objection to his appointment, though it would seem a very good reason why a man of finer sensibility would not de­ i ' sire such an honor. If he has “lived r down” his disgrace and regained the esteem of his fellow men, bls past career may properly be overlooked and his present worth alone recognized. He certainly has shown himself to be a man of strong will and engaging personality to have so far overcome the odium which attaches'to flagrant transgression of the law, as to have reached a leading place In Wayne county politics. But aside from his personal history is t? Tom Navin the right man to appoint to a position that should demand the higheat civic virtues in the incumbent? Can a man who has figured conspicuously in ring polltjfs In a large city, command . the esteem of the people of Michigan? Is there anything whatever in bis career, except the fact that he is person­ ally familiar with the workings of tbe prison, that shows any fitness for the position he asks for? Would a man possessed of any delicacy of sentiment, any refinement or sense of fitness, any .genuine, heartfelt repentence for his past misdeeds, think of asking for this honor, but would he not rather wait un­ til such a compliment came to him un­ . sought If It came at all? It would seem like questions of, this sort would arise io tbe minds of the govK':-'s ernor, and of tbe senators and cause them to hesitate before gratifying the Strange, not to say impudent, request of Mr. Navin. But tbe indications L point to the Detroiter’s appointment. ; The influence of the political bosses is , strong and the governor will yield. Nevertheless It is pretty safe to say that Tom Navin's appointment to the prison board will not be approved by the bet­ . ter sentiment of tbe people of Michigan. A BILL to compel fit’® insurance com­ panles to pay the full amount of their policies in case of Idfe by fire has been introduced in the legislature. Without regarding the express provisions of the £ bill, its purpose appears to be based on (. equity. When a company has issued a larger policy on property than the property is worth, not being at ail scrup­ ulous in getting as large n preumtum as I . possible, it ought to be obliged to live up to tbe letter of its contract. If it is • willing to accept a 82,000 policy on a •1,000 house, it ought also to be willing to pay the 12,000 in case of loss. Such a law as is proposed would make the in­ surance companies careful in assuming risks and prevent much litigation. . . ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Fred L. Heath is on the sick roster.

It was one of tbe bravest deeds ever seen on the plains," be affirmed, “and we’ll greet him properly with a band and a parade and a ball—the ball of tbe season. You must see to that, Jeanne.” The colonel's daughter lifted spar­ kling eyes from the newspaper. “It was glorious,” she breathed, "glori­ ous r She bent over tbe paper, her cheek* glowing. Over and over she had read the account of Lieutenant Welsoll's gallant charge on the Indian stronghold at Checauba gulch.

She loved tbe colonel not so much because he was her father aa because he was her hero. And even the colonel could point to no Detter day’s work than thia of little Lieutenant Weisoll’a.

Like bls girl, be was a hero worshiper. Sud dcnly be remembered something and. after a moment’s frowning, spoke; “Why. Jeanne, there’s a little gossip down In town.

When drunk, be has given out that Lieutenant Welaoll Is hie brother and j baa told a story that may be true.

Lieutenant Wei •Oil never turned aside. Tbe right of way be took, like many short men of pompous mien, as a matter of course. Harvey was not quite pompous, not even tonight when be felt his pride and happiness complete. He knew that be bad won more than glory. He talked gayly of the romance in this frontier town and of how dreary it bad seemed at first “How I want­ ed an exchange!” he cried, then softly. “And now I want a life tenure.” She flushed and smiled. “Well, the old dust certainly has a wonderful, roseate glow." Behind them walked tbe colonel, silent and thoughtful, and several ladies and officers. In the main street before the little frame hotel a crowd of town idlers and soldiers were gathered. Tbe strains of violin music came from tbe center of the group, and there was a hush over the square. For once Lieu­ tenant Welsoll turned aside and cross­ ed tbe street to avoid tbe men. Mis* McDermonfs eyes were intent upon them, but suddenly she glanced up ar her companion with something of anx­ iety aod doubt Some one on the outskirts of the crowd caught sight of tbe lieutenant stant confusion, and the crowd began to break.

The musician, seeing, cried out: "Why. Harvey, Pm John. John—your brother John!” His voice rose to a frightened shriek. “Come!” snapped Welsoll to Jeanne. 'Come, come!” She whispered in pained amazement, “But your brother, John; your brother —your broth erf’ He felt the pain in her voice. His face was crimson. Tbe colonel and the ladles and the officers were close upon them. The man with the violin, weak and dazed, but not drunk now, Htood before them, his hands oatstretched. "I never saw this fellow before. Jeanne.” The lieutenant spoke loudly. “I have no brother. This Is merely a drunken joke. I”— His voice had risen to a shrill pitch. His face had gone from crimson to white, and she knew that he was ly­ ing. She saw the eyes of the fallen and denied brother fill with tears. E? turned away. Jeanne turned on the lieutenant "You coward!” she cried In ringing tones. "You coward”’ He shrank back before her scorn. She turned to the brother and, putting out both her hands, clasped his band that held the bow. "I’m glad to know you. John Wel­ soll.” she said brokenly. “I’m proud to know you.

Lake Odessa Is undergoing an ex­ perience similar to thia city. Dr. Ranney has written a letter to the Lake Odessa authorities most of which ap­ plies with equal force to Hastings. We therefore reproduce from last weeks’ Wave, what this gentleman says: The epidemic of smallpox that ha* t>een prevailing not only in Michigan but in other states of the union ana in Canada has been so mild as to make it a matter of comment by physicians and medical journals, and its very mlldbes* has been one great cause of its spreadlug, people resting under a false sense of security, not recognizing the dimreee until associated with the mild cases a severe form of the disease developee. Here as in other places throughout the state, the disease is seldom found except among the unvaccinated, the exception being among those who are advanced in years who were vaccinated when quite young, in whoee cases the power of protection afforded by vacci­ nation has been weakened by time. Vaccination is an absolute protection of smallpox and the disease could be made to entirely disappear if vaccina­ tion could be carried out as it is in the German army where the disease is un­ known. I would respectfully advise that you recommend and strongly urge vaccina­ tion to all who have not been success­ fully vaccinated within five or six years, quarantine all infected people and houses and discontinue all meetings, except the schools. . The school teachers should report all absentees to the chairman of the board of health, and the cause of such absence should be known, and if found to be on account of smallpox the necessary quarantine established at once. ‘ General vaccination, a prompt and efficient quarantine and thorough dis­ infection as required will soon stamp out the epidemic, prevent * largo amount of sickness, do away with a loathsome disease and prevent a great lore of money which would result in the interruption of business by neglecting these measures.

CAME NEAR UNTO DEATH Letter to Mr. W. Peck, Hastings Mich, CHRISTIANS OP ALL DENOMINA­ TIONS APPEALED TO. Prominent Men of the Country, Min­ isters and Laymen, on Commit­ tee Signing Appeal. Tbe Lenten season has of late years —owing to the special emphasis placed upon it by some branches of the Church, and the resulting temporary staying of the tide of worldliness and.frivolity at that time—proved peculiarly favorable to the promotion of religious interest. Its connection with the death and resurrection of our Lord increasingly recognized in all branches of the church, would seem to make it a most opportune time for the quickening of Christians for spiritual life and service. We therefore respectfully suggest a plan for making the most of this Lenten opportunity this year for the further­ ance of the spiritual advance for which the present crisis so urgently calls. DAY OF HUMILIATION AND PRAYER. Would not every minister or leader receiving this appeal do well to prepare for and Initiate this movement by mak­ ing February 25, 1903, known as "AshWednesday,” a special day of humili­ ation and prayer? Let him invite his people to join in confession and in humiliation in view of past sins and shortcomings and in supplication and intercession before God, on the basis of Luke xi:l-13, for the blessings of which the Churches stand in such perishing need. x That the praying may not be of that general and indefinite kind that never brings answer, the committee enumer­ ates some of the things for which there is pressing call for prayer: 1. For the return to absolute faith in the Bible as the inspired, authorita­ tive Word of God, and as furnishing the Churches tbeik; only credentials and message; and for an immediate revival of earnest and systematic study of that Word in order to learn what God would have us do in the present condition. 2. For a quickened sense of the sin­ fulness of sin. and of man’s lost and hopeless condition without Jeaas Christ. 3. For a new vision of the greatness, sufficiency, efficiency and efficacy of the atonement of Jesu. Christ as the only hope for lost man. 4. For an overwhelming sense of the obligation and responsibility, “bn the part of evdry disciple of Christ, for wit­ nessing to the lost soul—and to all lost souls he can reach—of the saving power of Christ, and urging the Immediate acceptance of salvation through Him. 5: For a mighty outpouring of, and euduement of the Holy Spirit that the Church throughout the entire nation may be equipped to do her God-ap­ pointed work in sharing the mission of the. Master in seeking and saving the lost. . j We think it would be well that on that day. the church doors should be thrown open from morning until the close of the evening service, and that the Christian community be urged to come in silence to the house of God, at any . convenient hour, and there in । genuine travail of soul, pray for a national and universal revival of the revival of the religion of Ohrist.

May we not ask every ministerial as­ sociation, and other similar organiza­ tions of clergymen and laymen, to take this matter energetically in hand at each local point, and let the coming month of March witness, in God’s good pleasure, the greatest evangelistic up­ rising that has ever taken place in the history of the Church of Christ in America?

Freer property on south Broadway for purpoMecrf a pest boose In from Spreading. Since the Herald went to press last week there have .been several new cases of smallpox reported, all of them being mild. To be more accurate, there have been nine new cases eince last Thursday noon—a remarkably small number considering the number of exposures which must have occurred before the presence of the disease was discovered. Of course there is a possi­ bility of more cases, as the time be­ tween exposure and the first stages of the disease has not quite passed in some instances. The physicians have been very vigilant, however, and Health Officer Barber is hopeful that the prog­ ress of the disease has been stayed. Of the nine new cages of the week, only one is in a bouse not previously under quarantine—that ot Mrs. Frank Hams,, which was reported Monday. Besides the twenty-six cases, there are two or three persons under the doctors’ care whose symptoms are such as make it possible that they are in the incipi­ ent stages of smallpox. These cases are under strict surveillance. In fact the possibilities of spreading the dis­ ease are being reduced to a minimum through the prompt and thorough course of the physicians and authorities. One fact worthy of note concerning the present epidemic is that not a sin­ gle case has occurred, if we have been correctly informed, in which the pa­ tient has been vaccinated. In the family of Frank Nash the only one who has escaped thus far at least, was vacci­ nated a year ago. Undoubtedly the situation here as to the prevalence of smallpox has been greatly exaggerated in the surround­ ing country so that many.farmers have been afraid during ^be past week to come to town. This feeling was natur­ al enough, and it is unfortunate that one of our contemporaries greatly in­ tensified it by its sensational and scare­ headed account. So far as the Hebald is concerned, we have tried to tell the facts just as they are, without exaggeration on the one hand or concealment on the other. That the Herald’S course has been appreciated, has been made evident many times during the past week by the commendatory words which its course has elicited. As a final word in this article, the Herald believes that it can say with­ out danger of misrepresentation that there is practically no risk to the farm­ ers iu coming to town to trade or do ocher business. The vigorous measures which have . been taken to stamp out the disease have made fhe ordinary channels of business as safe, ’probably as they usually are. We make this statement after care­ fully investigating the conditions and after consultation with the city physic­ ian, Dr. & A. Barber, who assures us that the possibility of contracting small­ pox while tn the city for the purpose of trading is exceedingly remote. consideration of six hundred and fifty dollars be ratified by the common council and the mayor and recorder authorized to draw dty order In sum of six hundred and fifty dollars for purchase of same provided said C.

He married Miss Kate Geiger, who with four children survives him. The child­ ren are Mrs. B. C. Cortright, George,. Julia and Wilbur. Mr. Polley was universally popular and although the township was strong­ ly against him politically, was elected supervisor year after year, and held that office at the time of his death.

Washington Letter. ■ . . >. Washington, D. C., February 9, 1903. Senator Mark Hanna has Introduced In the senate a bill which because of its bare-faced purpose of catching the ne­ gro vote and the negro ap­ pointments c ent Roosevelt, would be ludicrous were it not capable ol being made the means of defrauding thousands of Ignorant and trusting people. Senator Hanna’s bill proposes to pension every ex-alave and the relatives of such ex-slaves as have elderi members of their families dependent on t hem. The pensions are to vary from 14 per moath for slaves under fifty to 815 per month for slaves seventy and over. Moreover, bonuses are to be paid to Mich m prove eligible tor pensions ranging from 8100 for those aged fifty *• the bill was introduced, Mr. Irankly admitted tbM.be had no he had Introduced it, as to wno were ana wno were aot, paslaves would be practically Hnporaible to procure and the law would be made the excuse for voting thousands of pri­ vate pensions to negroes by legislators anxious to secure the negro vote. While Senator Hanna’s pension bill is obviously a hid for negro support in the next national convention, its worst feature is the end to which it will be put by unscrupulous persons. Senator Mason introduced a similar measure some years ago aud it is estimated that certain “educated negroes” who form­ ed the “Ex-slaves Federation’! coll vot­ ed from the negroes In the South up­ wards of 8200,000 for registry, repre­ senting that registry by the association would insure to them the benefits of the proposed pensions as soon as the law passed- The bill, as do all measures introduced In Congress, bore the legend “Read twice and referred to the committee on, etc.” and it was represented to the negroes that having been read twice it would require but one more reading’ and they must lose no time in becoming enrolled. The “Federation” was finally barred from the use of the -mails. According to the senate leaders, the anti-trust program of this session of congress to completed in so far as the upper chambeivis concerned. The pas­ sage of the Elkins bill is expected In the house. The Littlefield bill, itself UM) mild in Ils provisions to correct any of the trust abuses, was passed by the House on Saturday but will be buried in a senate committee where it will never see the light of day. The senate program 1 Deludes the appropriation of 8500,000 for the employment of expert attorneys In the prosecution of anti­ trust cases; a law making anti-trust cases privileged in the courts; penalties for granting and receiving rebates on transportation charges, provided by the Elkins law; and a wholly inadequate publicity provision attached to the bill creating a department of commerce and labor. Reviewing the “senate program’' a prominent democratic senator, who re­ quested that his name be withheld, sarid to your correspondent today: “Anti-trust legislation by the republi­ can party was bound to be a farce. It is ridiculous to suppose that the repub­ licans are going to enact legislation which would curtail the profits or be otherwise objectionable to the very in­ terests which have sent them here and keep them in congress. Some of the provisions are fairly good. The 8500,­ 000 for the attorney general is all right if properly administered, but that is a larg6 if. If, as Is' probable, it goes to favored attorneys iu the republican party it will be worse than wasted. The law for expediatlng anti-trust cases is excellent. The Elkins bill is all right as far as it goes. It should have been enacted years ago, however, and will now be powerless to effect the numerous trusts which have grown up in the past because of its non-existence. The publicity bill is a farce. Statistics are to be gathered, it is true, but what then? They are not to be published, except as the president may direct. There will be a close relationship between the statistics published and the generosity with which contributions are made to the republican campaign funds. It is merely a great club to be held over the trusts by the republican campaign managers. Incidentally, how do you suppose these north-western republicans who voted the republican ticket on the promise that the tariff would be reformed by its friends now? Representative Payne has announced that there will never be a revision of the tariff by the republican party—well we will see at the next election.

To dress a bouse Is to distribute an audi­ ence all over It so it looks full when it Is, as a matter of fact, far from being so. There are here enough people to fill about the first seven rowfl of the orchestra, but the house Is well dress­ ed. and on looking at It you have th,e Impression that It Is fairly well filled.

Col grove continues to hold a conspicuous place in the ranks of Michigan republicanism. At the Hncorn day banquet at Pontiac last Thurs­ day evening, Mr. Colgrove was among the speakers and the Daily Press of that city compHments'him very highly, as the following extracts from its ac­ count of the affair will indicate: "The masterly speech of P. T. Colgrove of Hastings was pregnant with interest to the greater part of the large audience and his theme, near to the heart and mind of every American in this great industrial age, touched a re­ sponsive chord in his auditors. Mr. Colgrove is a fluent speaker and his subject, ‘Relation of Labor to Politics,’ was bandied in a masterly manner.” “Mr. Colgrove in the course of his speech, voiced a great economic truth, when fie said that wealth was created in only two ways, ‘by the economic cheapening of prices and the increase in incomes. In this day and age, labor has been forced by combinations of cap­ ital to organize in order to look out for their interests.” "Baer and his divine right speech came in for a roasting at the hands of Mr. Colgrove. Said be,’ ‘We cannot permit even the Christian gcntletqen as spoken of by Mr. Baer to hold up the public. The public would willingly nave paid an increased price for coal,' as they did for meat, when Knox inves­ tigated the beef trust. He found that the price of feed bad gone up In the western slates and the public willingly paid the bill. They would pay more for coal, if they tfere assured that the men who slaved to mine the coal were receiving equable pay and that the doors of education were opened to the children of the miners.” ’ Letter to Miller & Wright, Hastings, Mich.

Robert Evans Is undoubtedly the original who suggested Adam Bede. Samuel Evans, the youngest son, was certainly the prototype of Beth Bede. Georgt Eliot (Mary Ann Evans) was tbe daughter of Adam Bede and tbe granddaughter of Thlas and Lisbeth. It will thus occur to the reader that in portraying Adam Bede our author was thinking of her own father and had the very best reasons for the state­ ment concerning her hero that be had a dash of Celtic blood in his veins.—W. Mottram In Leisure Hour. Most girls and some boys have played in their time tbe game of dibs or knucklebones or jackstone*, but few of them know that the game bas existed since the third century B. C. and Is probably still older. How it was played in ancient days no one can tell, but the ankle joint bones of the sheep, ox. deer and pig were used, and the game was called “astragal.’’ from the Latin word for the ankle joint In Bcotlend peb­ bles are often employed, whence the name "chuckles.” Even precious stones and gold and bronze “stones” have been used, and In some countries tbe bones were marked with numbers and colored to represent kings, queens, knaves nnd pawns. Here Is the proper way to pop corn: Put the regular quantity—that Is. a very small quantity—Into the popper and hold It under the cold water fau­ cet long enough to thoroughly saturate the kernels. Shake the popper and place It on the back of the range to al­ low the corn to dry. Then pop. The kernels will be very large, aud there will be no hard center. Tbe red pop­ corn Is thought to be the best. One of the remarkable things about the superstition of the "evil eye” is that It is often attributed to whole peo­ ples by others who dislike or hate them.

The Now Department of Commerce K, Probably the most momentous piece of legislation which has been enacted of late years is the act creating the new . cabinet office of secretary of commerce. . Such constructive legislation Is from , Ito very nature far-reaching, perhaps E epoch making, in its consequences. ! Once established, a cabinet office with ite department bureaus is destined to exert forever after a permanent In­ fluence upon the national life. Generally speaking, the tendency to create new departments of governI ment, Is to be deprecated. Tbe cre­ ation of a new cabinet office carries with it the forming of several new ■ bureaus, the filling of a multitude of Dew offices with political place-seekers, and the enlargement of political patron­ age. It means centralization of power ... Bt Washington and a new step towards that bureaucratic system of govern­ ment that characterizes the French re­ . public and makes it so Inferior to our own more democratic system of local ■ self government. But in spite of all such conalderaI lions, it is possible that tbe tremendous growth of our internal commerce with ' Ito multifarious interests and its need of careful and wise regulations will justify the creation of the department of com­ merce. The internal commerce of the United States has reached the incon­ : eeivable volume of 420,000,000,000 a year, greater than that of the foreign ; • oommerce of the whole world. It may . well be that such mighty financial in­ -. teresta may be protected, advanced and more fairly adjusted by having a spec-. , ■■ lai department in the national govern­ ment to represent them, In the enact­ ment and administration of laws that . affect interstate commerce, the rela­ tions of labor and capital, and all the . intricate problems that bear upon the business life of this great nation. It appears to be an inevitable conseI qnence of the growth of the United | States that the general government £ should be constantly more and more ] magnified aud that greater power g should be constantly centered in it. . For this very reason it behooves the friends of the republic as it was oonB oeived of by tbe fathers to be on their B guard against this centralizing ten■ denoy. Possibly, a department of com­ f meroc has come to be a necessity, but how long will It be before we shall have a cabinet office for labor, and one 5 •_ loraoience, and one for the fine arte? £ Certainly, with the creation of tbe departtnent of commerce with its wide B range of functions, there may well be a , halt in the centralization of executive 1 power, a process which from its very fc .iuuure weakens tbe stability of ourconp " fditutlonal scheme of government. No I true American wants to see the paterba! idea of government adopted in the United States. No Election Reform. It. la evident from the trend ot effaire Letsinsf that there will be no serious tempt to pu, ■ general primary elec» bill thia aeaaloa. Possibly a local •aaure lor Wayne county will go uwugh, though even that la doubtful, be politicians that manipulate ooninUon. do not want any election re­ rm and these poJitleians are all powIW at Lansing thia winter, as indeed iff bare been in other winters. eandldetw lurid- of !ie I campaign, Uxmgh not very entbnaiartieallylt must be admitted, to pri­ mary election reform. Ite platform contained a plank favoring this reform and Ito speakers and newspaper* dur­ ing the campaign pretended at leaet that a primary election law would be enacted attbe next aeealon of tbe legis­ lature. But there seems to have been very little good faith back of it all. The Navins aud Atwoods and Judsons who run the party have no use for a reformlhat would take away their power and the complacent law makers are not going to fall over each other in tt-eir haste to interfere with the existing or­ der of things. And so tbe people of Michigan will have to be content with the present corrupt caucus and convention system of nominating candidates for office. Their wishes don’t count for much at Lansing. They should know that the promises of the republican party made before an election are not made to be kept. The politicians know best what is good for the dear poople and the dear people should not complain if anteelection promises are forgotten. That is to say, so long as the republican party is kept in power in Michigan. Tbe democratic party, in its simple, honest way, acts on th’e theory that its promises are to be kept. The only genuine election reform attempted in Michigan in years was inaugurated by the democrats during tbe Winans ad­ ministration—the present Australian ballot system. If, then, the people of Michigan really want a primary election law, let them put the democrats In power at Lansing, and their wishes will be re­ spected. It is doubtful whether they ever will be before. Hoglo-DIttmar. A unique and pretty weeding occur­ red at tbe hour of two this afternoon when Clair M., daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. Y. Hogle plighted troth to William E. Dlttmar. The ceremony was performed at the bride's paternal home, 415 South Michigan avenue, there being fifty guests comprising rel­ atives and intimate friendk to witness the taking of the vows. Miss Anna Orr at the hour appointed sounded the strains of Mendelssohn’s wedding march to the sweet notes of which the bride accompanied by her father, de­ scended tbe stair from the upper apart­ ments. They passed through the hall­ way to tbe rear parlor and thence to the deception room. As they ap­ proached the latter apartment, curtains of tendrlled smllax which draped the archway between the two rooms were swung inside by petite damsels through which the couple passed, meeting the groom upon tbe threshold. The bridal pair took their station before an altar of palms and ferns, the service being spoken by Rev. W. L. Holmes of Grand Rapids, uncle of the bride, with Rev. C. E. Allen of this city assisting, while Miss Orr called forth the pleading ca­ dence of “Oh Promise Me.” The bride was gowned In peau de sole and carried liberty roses and maiden hair ferns. The ushers, Esther Dittmar and Linda Quinn, nieces of tbe groom, were dressed in white. Throughout, the home was decked with the green of ferns, smllax and palms, effective bank­ ings of tropical plants being every­ where in evidence. Both the young people are known to a large circle of friends. The bride, although her resi­ dence In this city has been for but a short span of years, is universally ad­ mired for her graces and accomplish­ ments. Following a wedding luncheon, the bridal couple left on tbe 4:45 p. m. train for Grand Rapids and other west­ ern points and will be at home after March 1, taking up their temporary residence with the bride’s parents, 415 South Michigan avenue.—Saginaw Evening News, Feb. 1}.' Sandbagged In Allegan. Last Thursday evening, Dr. Marie Horton-Baine was sandbagged. She says sbe was struck put below tbe neck on her beck as sbe was as attempting to enter tbe hallway to her rooms on Locust street. .She went ecross the street to mall some letters and noticed a very suspicious looking man on Dry­ doo's corner, tbe same one that, made her very nervous while waiting lor a train recently at Grand Rapids, the fel­ low following her about until she be­ came greatly alarmed. At various limes abo noticed this loafer here and sbe believes be was hired by her re­ cent husband aa she says he threatened her life before they separated. The doctor says she sullen greatly from nervousness as sbe fears her life. She was oondned to her bed several days as a result ot the sandbagging. The weapon used looked very much like a small sack of sugar. The doctor hss lately suffered greatly from lacerated feelings, due to gossip and her recent troubles, and It is a little too much u> be sandbagged, wbec she IS peaceable and lew other people alone. We would suggest that tba nightwatch pay espec­ ial attention to this aud of town In tbe luiare aud thoa if possible ar old a re- HASTINOS OR Parties From Outside Want to Take PEAS AND ASPARAGUS. It Away Bat Little Effort Will As announced last week, C. G. May­ wood has an option on Ben|ley, Rider A Co.’s plant in this city. He would, much rather keep it here than move it away, but be informs tbe Herald that some inducements must be made or out it goee. There is no doubt in tbe mind of tbe writer but that this plant, which now manufactures telephone boxes and lawn hose reels, can be made one of tbe flourishing institutions of tho city. Bentley, Rider & Co. now have more business offered them than they can handle with the present facilities. " . We understand that If the taxes were remitted for a term of five years and enough money donated so that neces­ sary improvements can be made, the plant will remain here and agree to employ a certain number of hands. At tbe present time we understand that the rate of Insurance is per cent,. If the buildings were covered with sheet-iron, a system of water pipes installed giving better fire pro­ tection, some new floors laid, dry kiln of 75,000 feet ^capacity and other im­ provements made, the rate could be cut to 4 per cent., which would be an addi­ tional inducement to investors. This week parties from outside have been here examining the plant with a view of taking it away from the city. By a little effort it can be induced to remain. Tbere’s no reason why, with tbe required capital, it cannot be placed in a position to employ from 75 to 100 hands and fill all orders that come. Mr. Maywood believes be could in­ duce an Outside party to come here and add the manufacture of sectional book­ cases. At least he has received several very favorable letters Implying such to be the case. Several of our bustlers have signified a willing neas to go down into their pockets and help the thing along. Now if someone will do a little canvassing the job will be completed and several workmen added to tbe dinner pail brigade—tbe life of our city. Three families have been released frvm quarantine this week, and only three new cases of smallpox developed in tbe families of Norton' Smith, Oscar Crook and P. E. Wiseman. The board of health now have tbe disease under control and there is absolutely no danger of being exposed. The families released from quarantine are A. D. Cadwallader’s, Mrs. Watson’s and Henry Wentworth’s. Notice to tire Public. Resolution closing all public meet­ ings and schools Is hereby revoked tak­ ing effect Feb. 22d, 1903.

Anderson, Dr. H. A. Barber, J. B. Roberts, Board of Health. To tbe easterner, ussd to bls garden bed of peas s few feet square, tbeddea of growing this product in beds of 2,600 acres and of harvesting and thrashing peas like so much wheat to a revelation, says tbe Scientific American. Tbe west just dow holds in store many such agri­ cultural surprteee for those from a dis­ tance. In Lcngmont, Colo., the land la pre­ pared for peas just as it is for wheat The regular wheat drills are used in sowing peas. Two rows of peas are sowed and then a space equal to that occupied by two rows is skipped, thus leaving twenty-one inches between tbe double rows for cultivation, and irriga­ tion purposes. When the pea vines be­ come large enough to cultivate, a corn cultivator is psed In throwing earth up to them. When five to six inches in height, a furrow Is made between the rows for water brought to the head of the rows in the,highest part of tbe field by a broad dltcb. At the harvesting .pf peas all are mowed down by a cutter which runs just beneath tbe ground. Then the hayracks arrive and great loads of peas op tbe vines are hauled to tbe nearby canning factory and are ready for the thrashing operation. The thrashing is done by means of machines constructed especially for the purpose. When the peas have been shelled by means of these machines, they next are put through grading machines which sort out the different sizes. Longmont boasts further of the lar­ gest asparagus bed in the wtyld. This bed comprises 120 acres and contains three-fourths of a million plants. The rows are about six feet apart, and the plants are twelve to fifteen Inches apart In the rows. The demand for aspara­ gus today is greater than tbe supply. One more agricultural novelty In Col­ orado is an eighty acre currant patch. Aa far as Is known, this Is the largest currant patch extant It Is situated, like the asparagus bed. at Longmont. In this currant patch there are 135,000 plants set out In rows seven feet apart The plants are three and a half feet apart In the rows. One hundred and fifty hands, old and young, are em­ ployed at picking time. One and onefourth cents per pound Is paid for pick­ ing. which enables expert pickers to make as high as $2.50 per day. A cur­ rant bush tn Colorado will produce at least a gallon of currants. Some pro­ duce ten gallons. Owing to Irrigation It Is claimed that tbe berries are supe­ rior in flavor to those grown under oth­ er conditions. A machine devised by M. Mazza, an Italian engineer, for increasing the amount of oxygen in the air Is de­ scribed by Le Genie Civil, Paris. Ac­ cording to this account of It, the appa­ ratus la essentially a centrifugal seposltor. On passing air Into It the oxygen molecules, being heavier than the nitrogen ones, have a tendency to concentrate at the periphery of thf ma­ chine. Consequently when air la drawn from thia surface It Is found to be rich­ er in oxygen than normal air—In fact, it is claimed that the oxygen content can be brought up to 26 per cent, com­ mon air containing 23.2 parts by weight of oxygen. The machine, however, acts at the same time as a blowing fan by which the oxygenated air Is delivered under a slight pressure, while the Im­ poverished air is drawn off continu­ ously from near Its center. It requires a two horsepower engine to operate a machine that will deliver 18,000 cubic feet of enriched air per hour. Toxic Germs. Toxic germs are the direct cause of Bright* disease of tbe kidneys. Brights disease consists of three forms—acute, sub-acute and chronic—which are tbe different stages of the disease. These germs are so irritable to tbe kidneys as to produce severe inflamstion 'of the kidneys which is characterized by se­ vere pain in the back, chills and fever, severe headache, dimness of vision, pain in back of tbe neck, puffiness of feet and ankles, a desire to'urinate fre­ quently but very scanty and1 highly colored in many cases, causing much pain and suffering if you have to get up many times at night to urinate, or have trouble in voiding tbe urine, tbe above symptoms denotes kidney and bladder trouble. The germs are doing their deadly work. You will find the Bas­ tard Kidney Cure, the great grrm de­ stroyer, destroys these germs in the system and kidneys and removes tbe cause of kidney and bladder trouble.

The next number of the Hastings Women's Club lecture course will be Leonard Garver's lecture on "Jean Valjean” from Victor Hugo's “Les Miserablea.” It will occur at the opera house on Saturday evening, March 7. The following received oy Mrs. F. R. Pancoast from SupL C. G. Wade of the Saginaw school is worthy of confidence, Mr. Wade being known to quite a number of our people: "I had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Leonard Garver Nov. 20. He was a splendid success here. He held the bt eathleaa attention of about 800 people (the best people in Saginaw too) for two and one-half hours. Much of the time you could have heard a pin drop. The Evening News gave him a full column next day.” The following are extracts from the the Saginaw Evening News: 4tIf there were any who stayed, away from the second number in the lecture course of the Knights of Columbus be­ cause Henry Austin Adams was unable to keep bis engagement, they may well regret it, for no finer evening’s pro­ gram could be imagined than last night’s audience’ enioyed. I^ooard Garver, the Californian reader, was the entertainer aud his audience com­ fortably filled the large auditorium at the Masonic temple. The story of Jean Valjean'was told in a way that probably no one present had ever heard it be­ fore. In his discussion of the sociolog­ ical theories in that great novel of Victor Hugo, while not at great length, Mr. Garver exhibited all the powers of the born orator In bis portrayal of the various roles in the narration of the story, Mr. Garver showed the highest histrionic ability. It was a tribute to his power that the large audience seemed, each and every one, to be wrapped up in the subject during the entire time of the lecture, which took two and a half hours. There was not a break in the audience and at times the proverbial pin couid have been heard to drop.” EXPENSIVE VALENTINE FREEPORT LODGE, K.

Not- the least objectionable feature of the late legislative junkenting tour is > the mercenary, not to say dishonest, spirit with which members have taken k advantage of it to raid the state treanary. The trip cost tbe members vir­ tually nothing. The railroads and ■ ’’ sleeping car companies gave them free E transportation, they were feasted and 'carried every where without a cent of K cost to themselves. It might be sup• posed tbat with such a chance to travel all over the northern peninsula, under I', especially pleasant conditions and witb­ out expense to themselves, these law S makers would have been content withK* . cut making their outing a money-mak­ I ing affair. But such is not the nature of your 5 modern legislator. Tbe chance for a / <4graft” was too good to be lost. These |r‘ thrifty gentlemen could not afford to | have such a picnic, even though It were ’ free, without turning an honest penny i •" at tbe expense of tbe state. Hence they made out their little bills for mile­ age, for sleeping car fare, for crossing f‘ the straits, all of which had been withg out a cent of cost to themselves, and 6 added an item of 83 a day for seven E days (including their stop In Chicago), E this last item being in addition to the regular S3 a day allowed them as mem­ bers of the legislature. In this ingenious and modest way the fc : junketers managed to present claims i' ranging from 850 to $62 each, the total & amounting to upwards of 83,000. It may be said in defense of this praclice, that legislators receive very small •- pay for serving the state and that the ineagerness of their compensation justi• ftos them in resorting to such expedentfl |.. to get even. But such reasoning is f specious. Men who accept legislative office know in advance what the compensation is to be and by their willing' new to accept the office virtually agree L tt> the compensation. They have no b moral right, whatever may be said of f. ‘ the legal and technical right, to mulct Sj the treasury by setting up claims foundf od upon merely technical services. Tbe [ WUttcm is certainly belittling to men o' jh. that high sense of honor which legisla{ tors ought to have. L" Navin’s Appointment. werncr Bliss has made a conspicuexhfbition of his unfitneee to be 1 mor by bis appointment at Thoms*1 ffsvin to s place on the Jackson « board. From whatever staod‘ t tbe act U viewed it is Incapable iHd defense. If be conferred the r upon Mr. Navin ** a reward for ■Ml eervices rendered, it shows i»u who has been diweredited in hi* own city and county. If be had cared to strengthen himself in Detroit and Wayne county he certainly would have ascertained the sentiment of that part of the state before sending in Navin’s name. On the contrary, it appears that be did not even consult tbe Wayne coqnty senators, two of the three voting against confirmation. Finally if he had regarded the moral sentiment of the people of Michigan, he would not have outraged it by ap­ pointing to a place on the prison board a man whose whole career ha* made him peculiarly unfit for the place. But not only must the governor be blamed for this unfit appointment. The ring of politicians that pushed the matter through the senate, strengthen­ ing the hands of the governor when he began to waver, making deals with senators, and at the opportune moment having Navin's name sent in and con­ firmed without debate, are equally rep­ rehensible. In fact the whole transac­ tion is discreditable to the republican party of Michigan, and well calculated, if anything could do so, to bring It int-o disrepute with the people. The New Secretary. The selection of George B. Cortelyou to be the first secretary of commerce is a fitting recognition of ability and adaptability, considered without regard to partisan availability. For this rea­ son tbe appointment will be received with perfect satisfaction by the whole country. Mr. Cortelyou has never been active In tbat kind of political life which is led by most men who reach cabinet positions. His public services have been entirely within the sphere of administrative work, first in the post office department io a subordinate ca­ pacity, and later in the executive man­ sion at Washington, where he has nerv-1 ed under three presidents, Cleveland, ' McKinley and Roosevelt. As an as­ sistant secretary and then as private secretary to tbe greatest executive of­ ficer in the world he has developed ad­ ministrative faculty in such a high de-' gree as to have convinced two presi­ dents that he was the best man toplace at the head of a new department of the government. Mr. Cortelyou therefore brings to bls task those qualities of administrative •kill and experience that ougbt'to be of great value in organizing a new and important department of government, with Its wide diversity of interests and intricacy of detail. Whether he can resist the importunities of partisan place hunters and establish the new de­ partment along the lines of civil service reform, remains to be seen. He cer­ tainly will have one great advantage in this respect, In that be owes his ap­ pointment to do partisan influence whatever and will therefore have no political dents to pay. He will be free to shape his policy without any dictat­ ion from tbe politicians of congress. Morgan As An Obstructionist. With all due respect to Senator Mor­ gan as a man of high abilities and pa­ triotic purpose, it Is nevertheless bard to reconcile bls obstructive tactics against the Panama bill with that broad spirit of statesmanship which he is gen­ erally given credit for possessing. Granted tbat his opposition Is founded on the firmest kind of conviction that the government is about to make a mis­ take in deciding upon tbe Panama route, instead of the Nicaraguan, yet ought any one senator to sat up his own opin­ ion against the combined opinion of all his colleagues? Ought be to resort to tbe questionable methods of the filibus­ ter, even to the extent of blocking other pending legislation of tbe highest im­ portance? It looks very ipuch a* if Senator Mor­ gan were actuated quite as much by obstinate pride in carrying bis point as by a desire to save the country from committing what he claims would be a great blunder.. Having championed one route with great persistency and ability for many years, he seems to be utterly unable to see anything good In any other route, and to have carried h!s partiality so far as to regard it a matter of personal honor to have his own way or prevent any canal being built. While not reflecting in the least upon the integrity of the senator, it is not unfair to pronounce his course as narrow and unreasonable. One man ought not to set himself up as wiser than all the rest of his countrymen. Having made a dignified and earnest fight against tbe Panama bill, he can well afford to leave tbe responsibility with the majority and lot tbe future show whether be was right or wrong.

Rev. Joseph W. Bancroft has been In failing health for several years and hence his death last Thursday morning did not come as a surprise to his friends, but his demise was none the lees a source of sadness to this city. For more than forty years his life has been 'an uplifting and helpful force in this community and bis death brought many expressions of regard and affec­ tion from the people among whom he ffiad lived so long. , Mr. Bancroft is survived by his wife, who baa herself been an Invalid as the result of an accident, for the past two years. Her many amiable qualities have won her a host , of warm friends who will doubtless see to it that the re­ clining years of tbe aged widow are made as comfortable as possible. The funeral was held at Emmanuel church Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o’clock and was largely attended. Bishop Gillespie was in charge of the services.' He was assisted by the rector of the church, Rev. S. W. Moran, Rev. J. N. McCormick, Rev. Chas. Donahue and Rev. J. H. Dodshon, of Grand Rap­ ids, and Rov. A. E. Wells of Holland. On,Sunday morning the bishop pro­ nounced a fitting eulogy upon his dead friend st Emmanuel church and as manp readers of the Herald will be interested, we give'hls address in full, as follows; ' Friends, I am here to pay the tribute of long friendship and affection. All official ties yield to. personal. When in 1861, .I came to Michigan, Mr. Ban­ croft was a layman, our first intercourse was, assisting him in the servlcAs he was holding for the few who formed the nucleus of thia Parish. When it pleas­ ed God through hia Church, that I was ’ advanced to tbe Episcopate, the minis­ Roy Matthews, Who Committed Sulclde In the Philippines. try of ten years in tbe Diocese, and the Roy Matthews, who committed sui­ cide in the Philippines, was formerly a resident of this place, hli father, Gould E. Matthews, being part owner of The Hart, Journal with the late Profeosor Edooo. He baa two uncles living here, Clark and Henry Matthews, and an­ other, Scott Matthews, st East Jordan. Boost's daughter Ada received a letter from Roy In Jan nary saying that be was well and that he would leave for home next April. He also has uncles in Ohio and Texas. He has relatives in Fremoot on hk Weiher’s side of the name . respect for him personally, placed him in position which brought us in close touch officially. But far beyond this, I gladly recognized him aa ah adviser in the many problems that new relations and responsibilities Involved. Happy for a new Bishop to have at his side one so calm in his decisions, who would never speak until be .bad given thought, and who had no prejudices nor animosi­ ties for lapses, the irritation, the con­ tacts with rough and unprincipled character, the excitement of our bodily and social conditions it is no light thing to say of a man, who has lived 42 years In a limited community where every one’s life is open, when he is gone, he was “a good man.” But far more, when we think of high­ er relations, when we have before ua the standard of Holy Scripture, when we speak in the Church in the Church’s tongue. Should I single out some of the leading traits of my brother’s character, I would mention, his charity. Firm in his convictions as a Churchman, he was tolerant of views and practices that yet had no following in his Ministry. He could see that his brother Priests, from their temper­ ament, their intellectual bias, their education, their surroundings, would see theological points from their stand .ways, and were not to be accused be­ yond an honest criticism. In the ex­ pression of these sentiments, ho may have been sometimes misunderstood. It may have, been his early affili­ ation, but far more I bhink his kindly spirit, that he bad no fondness for re­ flections on fellow believers who walk not .with us. This is the spirit that should animate us all. It is a * world lying-in wickedness,” God forbid that we should stay the step, or weaken the arm, that would defend the Master’s cause or turn aside from reaching after his salvation those whom he came “to seek and to save.” And there .was in him a grace that bears charity com­ pany, meekness. Meekness in its Integ­ rity, does not approach to the cringing attitude that Robert Hali criticised: the coming on of years; and I have sad­ ly thought, had its connection with the beginning of “the strength wearied in the way, the shortening of bis days.” But there was something more than this, lees easy to bear, more painful to feel. The unchristian, I am almost tempted to say inhuman, discrediting the ministry, because of years that tell in their number1 and the gray head, while the God of our life preserves the mind and heart for His'service—this came to our brother in signs he could not but perceive, that could not but wound. Brethren of th’s parish, those of you to whom our brother whose lips are now closed in death ministered, your hearts are touched in the memory of him as your Pastor. Would you honor his memory? The brass tablet on these walls might well attest his worth and your grateful reverence of his charac­ ter and pastorate.

A citizen walking past a butcher shop In a northern Kansas town saw the butcher and a customer rolling over the sawdust floor In a rough and tum­ ble fashion. He pried them apart, and then learned that the customer nad come to buy some dog meat and that the butcher had nonchalantly asked, “Do you wish to eat It here or shall I .wrap it up F Suitor—Permit me to say. Miss Flash, that in suing tar your hand I am re­ specting the wish of my late father— MIm Flash—Beg your pardon, sir, but la this Instance you have inherited Our reason for believing this is that it belongs to that family of plants known as mH renovators, of which red clover is the chief. It is true that the pen vine is somewhat Incumbent In its nature, and because of th|s tbe-crop is a little bard to handle. At the same time there are a number of methods which may be employed in utilizing the crop. Peas contain more than 20 per cent of pro­ tein and the grain is withal 'palatable to all kinds of stock. For hogs it is generally necessary to soak or grind the grain because of its flinty nature. As a food for fattening hogs pea meal is pos­ sibly superior to any other single grain. However, it Is possibly as a supplemen­ tary food that peas have the greatest value—that is, when fed in conjunction with corn, oats or barley. If feeders of the central west could only- obtain a supply of peas tc feed with their soft corn during this winter it would help solve the problem that is now the great bugbear of the stockman. A ration consisting of three parts com »Dd one Part pea meal would glee splendid results. It would not only be palatable so that it would be eaten in sufficient quantities, but It would be highly nutritions. The fattening quali­ ties would be furnished by corn while the peas, as well as furnishing fatten­ ing constituents, supply flesh forming material. At the price this cereal is commanding in the market it would be utterly impossible to feed it this year at a profit, but the point we wish to make at this time is that it may be worth while to acquire a little more in­ formation concerning the merit of this crop. For Sheep and Ho*a. There is one use to which the pea crop may be put with reasonable ex­ pectation that it will pay a good profit We have in mind pasturing pigs'on the crop either before it has fully matured or after the grain has ripened. The hogs are amply able to do their own shelling and will make splendid gains If allowed u free run over an area of Qcas. 8heep also have a fondness for the vines even after the grain has been eaten out by hogs or after the entire crop has been run through the thrashing machine. We have known many instances where pea vines alone have furnished tbe entire food supply for sheep during the winter, this be­ ing followed by the best results. We would not advise any one to undertake tbe growing of peas extensively at the start, but a small area would undoubt­ edly be grown with profit anywhere in the centra’ west? A HANDY SAWBUCK. Convenient and Steady For Both Croaacvt and Back Sawin*. For sawing limbs and poles light enough to handle and yet too heavy to saw with a bucksaw I btfve’used a sawbuck about four feet leng made upon the plan of connecting two.horses with three cross rods. We had worn oqt two in the last dozen years, and HAWBUCK FOB LONG STICKS. about a month ago I built a combina­ tion buck which was convenient for both crosscut and buck sawing, says a writer in Ohio Farmer. It is shown in the figure. It is made of 2 by 4 oak scantling halved together, and the two nearest -X’s axe only twelve inches apart from outside to outside. Our range takes wood seventeen Inches long, and I put the supports near enough together so that I can saw out­ side the end and not have the saw pinch. This would be inconvenient, and the buck would tip endwise if it were not for the third X, which gives sup­ port to long sticks and makes buck sawing much pleasanter, as much of the Satigue in this kind of work comes from keeping in place the sticks that are being sawed. The buck Is 24 inches high to where the wood rests and 46 inches long. The long legs of the X’s are 48 inches. Such ft buck stays where it is put and is very convenient until time to-store it By having the cross rods held in place by tag screws put in from the underside the X’s can be separated and laid away ‘ In small compass • Take time to live. “We pass this way but once.” If there is any direct way for im­ provement In animal or plant, it la by raltivatton and selection.

J Influence of amount applied is also, > strikingly illustrated. The average* Si gain from the application of 400 pounds ot nitrate per acre was 1,450 heads, and tho gain from the application of 300 pounds per acre was L125, an Increase from the extra 100 pounds of 325—that is, the extra 100 pounds, whilp not cans­ Ing th* same rate of increase tn the number of heads as did each 100 pounds of tbe first 900 applied, did cause a more perfect development of plant In other words, the larger application re­ suited in the most satisfactory crop even though tbe plants did not econom­ ically use the larger amounts applied. Tbe method of application may be partly responsible for the difference to the yields from the different qnantltlee applied—that la,- we find that the method of application, as well as tbe amount applied, exerted an influence upon tbe yield and marketable value of the crop. Averaging the number of marketable beads upon plots 2 and 4, upon which the nitrate was used In two top dress­ ings, we find tbe gain to be 945 heads, while the average gain from plots 8 and 6. upon which tbe amounts ap­ plied were divided into three equal pertlons, we have a gain of L030 heads, or an increase of 685 heads, due to the third application, the distribution of tbe nitrogen In three portions resulting in a greater difference in yield than was obtained from an extra 100 pounds of nitrate. In fact tbe combination of extra quantity and extra application on plot 5 resulted in giving the largest number of marketable beads, the lar­ gest average weight per head and tbe highest selling price.

No class of plays presented in the last decade has appealed more strongly to theatre-goers than those dealing with village and country life. They seem to possess more heart Interest and appeal more strongly to human nature than any other form of drama. One of the best of this class is “A Homespun Heart;” anew pastoral comedy drama from the pen of Hal. Reid, who writes for the masses, and who, perhaps more than any other living Amer­ ican author, has played on the heart­ strings of millions of theatre-goers. “A Homespun Heart” will be pre­ sented at the opera house on Tuesday evening, March 17.

The bridge at North Park, connect­ ing Grand Rapids with Mill creek, was carried from its piers Sunday afternoon by a tremendous ice jam that formed at the bend Jnrt above tbe bridge. The flood of ice was caused by the breaking of a dam at lonhr Saturday, and when it reached this point the ice filled the river tn Ito brinks nearly ten feet above the water. The' steel caiimone of u new bridge being ; constructed at this point by the street ; railway company was also carried away, the damage being about $5,000. A few minutes after the destruction of the North Park bridge the Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee railway bridge was roadbed by the jam but its heavy abutments and ice breakers Wchstood the compact and the ice swept down and over the rapids with­ out doing any more damage. The St Joseph ri/er has flooded the low lands In Niles and vicinity, doing much damage. Many bridges are In peril nnd apprehension is felt about some of the dams. At Buchanan the water is within one inch of the top of the masonry that Shuts out the flood from unfinished work on tbe $250,000 transmission power bouse O. A. OhapLn Is building there. If the water submerges the masonry it will work great damage. Black river went on its annual ram­ page Sunday and for a time threat-ned to do considerable damage to the ship­ ping moored In the river and in­ dustrial enterprises along its banks. Tho usually sluggish stream was turned into a torrent, carry­ ing fields of ice, dotted here and there with logs, uprooted trees and fences which had bten washed away further up the course of the river and along the tributary creeks swollen by the heavy rains and r .aw of the pest several days. Fortuna i ely, however, the apprehended danger at tills point was avoided. --------------------------------------------------HOTICE OF LETTING DRAIN CONTRACT Prosecuting Attorney McArthur, In nMN tbe highway in n w M of n w X,sec27, In township of Rutland, In said coouty of Barry, 10 oMock in tbe forenoon of that day proceed receive blds for tbe construction of a certain te known and designated as “Water* Drain” tad and established In tbe township of Rutd, in said county of Barry, and deecrfbed a* fob VU ft n anS , eZB It; thence * 66 deg. e 107 ft; thence a ,e39ft; thence a 55 deg, c 124 ft; thenep * r, c63 ft; thence s t5« deg. e 437 ft; thence s ,e75ft; thence s5deg,«25ft; tbences5dcg, ; Sbeaot*24detf,e5e7ft; tbencs s 36M dor, thence e 27 ft; thence ■ Mft{ taence • 184 order up stream n now ou flfe with ' paper* pertaining to said drain In the be county train commissioner of the raid Barry, to which refaraace may be tad by K tatfsmted. and bids win be made and Q-^tswHlbe made with 1 respouilMe bidder giving adequate ee­ r the performance <>7 tbe tforkUn * gam I there to be find by me. reservlngtomyight to reject any and all bids.

He would not give the nature of the information in open court, on the ground that to do so, would defeat tbe ends of justice, but be made a state­ ment to Judge Wiest privately. At the time of Holbrook’s arrest, it was expected that other men of promin­ ence would be the subject of similar charges, and It la believed that new complaints may be drawn. Thomas Payne, an Englishman from Three Oaks, was before Judge Coolidge, lu 8t Joseph, Saturday, on the cltarge of thrashing bis wife. Payne insisted tn his own country he bad the right to thrash his wife whenever be chose. ’His wife, who brought the charge against him, pleaded tn his behalf before the Judge in the Circuit Court In order to right himself with bls family and the court.

POUND ACCEPTS DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION FOR JUSTICE SUPREME COURT. His Letter of Acceptance Discusses the Rights of Citizens Against Common Carriers. James H. Pound of Detroit, who was Monday, selected by the democratic state central committee to take the pjace on the state judicial ticket, de­ clined by Judge Yaple, Tuesday sent his letter of acceptance of the nomina-tlon to State Chairman Barkworth as follows; ’ “Your notification of the’ great honor conferred upon me by yourself and con­ freres upon tbe committee Is duly re­ ceived, and the draft is honored and accepted. . “Although I have hitherto been In no sense a candidate for this office, I feel that my years of experience and labor in my chosen profession will war­ rant me in accepting the honor your committee has unanimously placed up­ on my shoulders, and I feel that though 1 have a great undertaking upon my hands, I do not despair of succes, if the people will but understand tbe situa­ tion. “As to the distinguished gentleman, my opponent., who has now occupied this high poet lion for fourteen years, I have nothing personal to *ay, except that I am not in favor of life tenure in office. He has tread the judicial ladder from justice of the peace to chief jus­ tice of this great state, and altogether been in office about one-third of a cen­ tury; and for that reason, in my opinion should give way for another. “But elections for higher offices of the judiciary and regents were never intended by the framers of our state constitution to be the contention of po­ litical parties; and, for this reason, they were separated from the general state ticket elections and placed apart by themselves, so that men and meas­ ures might be considered as pertaining to the state's domestic economy,—an object which designing republican poli­ ticians have for years thwarted by electing regents of our state university and supreme justices upon tbe question of the tariff or money, with which they,neitber, should bare anything to do, and which false system has given us, in at least one aet of those present honor­ able offices) an absconder from justice, and other undesirable personages, as will be conceded by all. Therefore, in this campaign, it will be my desire and aim to enter into personal competition with the chief justice upon official acts alone, which I believe to be fair criti­ cism, and I shall try to reverse the re­ publican ‘system, whereby a man’s party loyalty is looked upon as a first consideration; second, his locality, and third, and last, his legal knowledge. Not but that they have nominated and elected able men, but that was ever but the Incident, not the primary pur­ pose, of the convention.

But it seems jo me that a hackman, who is a common carrier, wbo would take a passenger from a depot to a hotel, and charge him, because be was a stranger. S5, when his legal fare was but twenty-five Cents, and when tbe passenger would not pay tbe 15 de­ manded. and who, perchance, had re­ fused the tender of the legal fare of twenty-five cents—took the passenger by the throat and forcibly dragged him from the hack and beat and wounded him, and threw the passenger, like a dog, into the street—should pay more than nominal damages, although the passenger, in fact, had $5 with him, and could have avoided all difficulty by submitting to the extortion. And 1 be­ lieve that the proper tribunal to assess the damages in such a case is a jury, and tx>t tne judge, and I think this is no more true in tbe case of tbe hack­ man than any other^common carrier.

This is not creditable to our city and ought to be remedied at once. Mana- : ger Todd of the Book Case Company in'; forms the Herald that he must also have houses for his employes. This is an emergency that calls for' • the promptest and most enei — ’ ' itic action possible.

And, first, while I claim to be as con­ servative as any man can be, in guar­ anteeing to any man. men or corpora­ tion, the fruit of bis, their or its in­ dustry, and a conservation of their cap­ ital, I believe tbe proper tribunal to determine facts is tne twelve honeet, conscientious jurors which tbe law places th the jury box to dispatch that business.

I certainly believe that that line of business, whether carried on by private individuals, co-partnerships, or corporations, known as common car­ riers, should be held responsible for the mistakes of their servants, and that the burden of - guarding against mbtakes at the agents of common carriers should be placed where, by the law of England, It has ever been, and that is upon the carrier.

Gor­ man, the democratic leader, when asked to make a statement by your correspon­ dent. “The democrats,” he continued “hold the view th&t an important treaty of this character should not be -treated M a party measure. It should be con­ sidered and perfected according to the best judgment of the senate. A major­ ity in congress, without regard to party, favors the construction of an isthmian canal as is demonstrated by tbe fact that the act authorizing such a canal re­ ceived almost unanimous support from members of both parties. The minority believes that tbe treaty negotiated by Secretary Hay requires several amend­ ments in order to bring It into harmony with the act of congress under which it was negotiated and to safe-guard tbe in­ terests of the United States. Article 23 is in obvious violation of that provision of the Spooner act which provides that the Unifed States shall acquire tbe right to police, protect and govern tbe strip through whldh tbe ca’nal shall pass In a way that obviously implies sovereignty. These facts bare been presented to the republican leaders and some of them appreciate the force of the democratic contentions. What their course will be I am not prepared to predict.” , Just after Mr. Gorman made the above statement, the republican steer­ ing committee held a meeting to con­ sider the program for the remainder of the special session and determined to ratify, if possible, the Panama canal treaty as it stands. They further de­ cided. to accept the amendment offered by Senator Bacon in the committee on foreign relations, apd adopted by that committee, which provides that the Cuban treaty shall not go into effect un­ til it has been “approved by tbe con­ gress.” An amendment has been reached between Jhe leaders of both parties to read the Canal treaty today for amendment, all speeches being lim­ ited to fifteen minutes duration, and to permit two heurs debate, followed by a vote tomorrow. The Cuban treaty will then be taken up In earnest and, as amended, will be ratified and adjourn­ ment taken immediately afterwards. It is deemed probable that the special ses­ sion will adjourn thelatter part of this week, although no definite decision has been reached. The president does not hesitate to say that he regrets the adoption of the Bacon amendment to the Cuban treaty and he has threatened to call both houses of congress in special session to pass the legislation necessary to put tbe terms of the treaty into effect Such a course would meet with no opposition from the majority of the democrats whose only object in securing the adop­ tion of the amendment was to avoid a violation of tbe constitution, but the re­ publican leaders, mjmy of whom are secretly opposed to any form of reciproc­ ity because they fear it means the be­ ginning of tbe end of the protective system, express themselves as emphati­ cally opposed to an extra session before election and it is probable that Mr. Roosevelt will give heed to their wishes and, if he calls an extra session at all, refrain from so doing until next Novem­ ber. He asserts now that be will cer­ tainly do so then if not before. Senator Aldrich is believed to be pre­ paring to urge his financial bill, with possibly some modifications, next win­ ter.. He has obtained the consent of the senate to call his committee in session during the recess and, as it is known that he does not contemplate any tariff AGENTS THE TBTEniRAnV OBSTETRICAL COMPEN­ DIUM, THE HHEATEOT MONEY MAKER FOR THE ABENT OF THE ROth CENTURY th.tMjorhy U ooaeeraeS, * udbIiot*bly opposed u> tor form of flat Currency, which is wbtt the Fowler bills provides for.

No dates have been positively made as it has been impossible to de so without knowing when congress would adjourn, with one exception. The president has promised to be present at tbe dedicatory exercises of the^aint Louis exposition.

Ho longed tor tbe comforts of home, but be bad not mon­ ey enough to go Into business for him­ self in tbe city. After studying tbe matter over for some time he concluded1 to go to farming. He wm brought up on a farm and wanted to get back to the land. He had money enough to make a payment on a farm, and be con­ cluded be did not care for wealth if he could have a home of hte own. He W^b willing to work hard if he could only be with iris wife and family all the time. Looking about, he found a farm In the dairy district of Illinois that could be bought cheaply. Tbe farm was in pretty bad shape, but It was a farm, and our friend had a great deal of fallb in hte ability to dig a living out of that particular piece of land. So be began life over again as a farmer. He liked pigs and began breeding them in a small way. One day he was over at the creamery near lite place and heard some dairy’ farmer yy he didn’t know what to do with hte Bkimnxilk. It did not pay to feed it to calves, for he could, sell them as soon as they were old enough to kill for veal for a good high price', and, besides that, he didn’t want to bother with -a lot of calves. . Now, our friend believed In taking farm papers and keeping up with the times. He had read that sklmmilk Is ibout as good a thing for pigs aa can be' given them, and be asked this man what he would self hte sklmmilk for. The dairyman named-10 cents the hun­ dred as the going price, and a bargain was made. It soon got noised about the vicinity that there was a man there who wanted sklmmilk, and before long our friend was driving over to the creamery to get two barrels of sklm­ milk every day. His pigs thrived so wonderfully on the sklmmilk diet that they sold for more than the market price, and pres­ ently he was breeding pure bred pigs and getting a high price for them. The writer of this article in Dairy and Creamery bought one from him once that was only eleven months old and paid more than $50 for it, and a little mate of this pig sold the same day for $87, for the pig breeder had an auction, and men came from a long distance to buy bis stock, so wide had become its fame. The t was several years ago, and this man is still buying sklmmilk at the creamery and producing prize winning and long priced plga.

How to Prune.—1.’Never ent away more wood than is necessary to obtain the end in view. Err on the side of cut­ ting too little ratlier than too much, for If too much is taken off it cannot be replaced in many years. Large crops of fruit cannot be grown on trees with a few exposed branches. 2. Cut out ail dead wood as soon as It is dis­ covered. (Summer, is a good time to do this, asdead branches can then be seen at a glance.) 3. If two branches rub together so as to Injure one anoth­ er, tbe weakest should be cut aWay. 4. If one branch rests on the top of another, as In Fig. 1, one should be removed. 5. Head back and thin out the top rather than cut off the lower branches to bring the fruit as low as possible on account of thinning, spraying and harvesting (see Fig. 2). fi. Never .remove side branches If it can be avoided. If It must be done, cut as shown at B, Fig. 3, and cover the injured parts with two coats of lin­ seed o|l paint, gas tar or grafting wax. Cover all wounds over half an ineh in diameter with one of the above pre­ servatives. 7. Remove branches that are too low or resting on the ground.

There was a record of one prostrate ancient forest giant of the blue gum variety measuring, with al­ lowances for the lost top, 550 feet Such a giant would have overtopped tbe tall­ est of California’s living sequoias. There are more thrfD 150 kinds of euca­ lyptus which resemble each other, though differing widely In size, height, general outline and in appearance of leaf and bark. This tree is planted for forest cover for naked hillsides as wind­ breaks and hedges. Tbe timber Is val­ uable, tbe wood and leaves make excel­ lent fuel/and from tbe latter is made a drug extensively employed in medicine and surgery. Tbe blossoms supply honey supposed to possess specially hy­ gienic properties. Oricin of the Cat. In Arabian legends the cat Is traced back as far as Noah and the ark It Is one of the animals that came off the ark, but did not go on. When the oth­ er creatures entered for safety during the time when “the doors of heaven were to be opened and the fountains of the deep turned loose,” there was no cat among them. Puss’ origin is ac­ counted for In this way: During the time the ark was floating about over the tall mountains mice and rats became an Intolerable nuisance to the people on the great vessel, and they complained to Noah that everything was being literally devoured by the pesky vermin. That august personage forthwith called the male lion to his side and began to stroke his back, whereupon the great beast sneezed and, 10, a full sized cat was blown from hte nostrils! An Artist’* Privation*. Lough, an English sculptor, tad an Imaginative enthusiasm so vivid that he once said timidly to a friend, as if fearing ridicule. “I fancy myself in the Acropolis sometimes and hear a roar­ ing noise like the tide.” The sculptor's early privations were terrible.^ Bays a writer, "During Lougb’sJirst year In London, when en­ gaged on bis ‘Milo,’ he went without meat for three months, had only one bushel and a half-of coal during tbe whole winter, tore up bls shirts to make rags In which to keep his clay figure motet and slept beside It—when the cold would allow him to sleep—on the groufid.” He Got It. "You have a lovely hand,” remarked the youth as he grasped the fair milden’s hash mixer. “Do you really think so?” she queried in a tone that was calculated to push him over the hurdle. "That’s why,” answered the unsus­ pecting victim of circumstances, "I ad­ mire a beautiful hand, but mine is apt to be mistaken for a ham, I wish I had one like yours.” “Then,” suggested the willing maid, "why not pull yourself together and uk for itr .

LOUISVILLE t NASHVILLE K. LoeMO*. Kv HAII �advertUing STATE. COUNTY. A Good Selection. Stow H. Pound of Detroit has been •elected by the state central committee M candidate for justice of tbe supreme court in place of Qeorge L. Yaple who ■declined the honor. Mr. Pound is one of the leading members of the Wayne county bar. He is a man of sterling integrity, wall read and successful as a lawyer, uncompromising and out­ spoken, fearless and aggressive for the cause which be espouses. Buch a man m Mr. Pound taken from the active pursuit of the law in all its higher phase® in the chief city of the ' state, familiar with the methods of legal procedure before tbe leading courts of the state, and in close touch with the . great numr.Rs of men and women whose Interests it is the chief duty of the judiclary to protect- is undoubtedly well equipped for the responsibilities of the supreme bench. ’ It may well be believed that If such an able and honest lawyer as James Pound is given a place in the highest tribunal of the state, he will infuse a new and wholesome spirit of democracy into that learned but extremely conafirvatiye body chat would prove highly r beneficial. • A Lesson for Future Conventions The declination of Judge Yaple to ac­ cept the nomination for justice of the supreme court is unfortunate. It is al­ ways more satisfactory to a political y^rt.y to have its candidates selected by a nominating convention than by acommittee, however wisely the committee may act. The candidate chosen in the regular manner seems in some way to enjoy a prestige and an advantage that , do not attach to a candidate selected by ■’ ■ a committee. Hence it is a fact to be regretted that the man who was so enthuslastically nominated by the demo­ cratic convention at Detroit for the • head of the state ticket this spring . should have felt constrained to refuse the honor. 1 It would seem as though such contre­ temps as that which has just cast its dampening influence over tbe party at the opening of a campaign might and ought to have been avoided. No man ought to be placed in nomination for a place of leading importance unless it is certain that he will accept it. Nor is it good policy to attempt to force a nomi­ nation upon a fellow citizen who is un­ willing, for private reasons, to assume the responsibility. The democratic party of Michigan met with a disheart­ ening experience last fall by following such a policy, and has again met with : a similar discouragement. It would ' seem that these two lessons ought to be Sufficient to lead future conventions to put no man In nomination whose atti­ tude towards such a proceeding has not ' previously ascertained.

The proposed amendment cuts off al! mileage, all pay for extra sessions, and omitted stationery perquisites. There was Borne sharp discussion of the matter, but It whs passed 76 to 10. The idea of pushing the -bill is to have it sub­ mitted to the people in the April elec­ tion. Practically the same proposi­ tion was submitted in the state elec­ tion of two yeato ago, and It was de­ feated. If this amendment Is .adopt­ ed It will not take effect until 1905. .

The senate has passed the so called Bangham bill, amending the law for orgnlzutlon of corporations, so that concerns may Incorporate with no capi­ tal paid in. All attempts to amend were defeated.

This vlll compel them <0 make public their affairs which at present they are not com­ pelled to do.” The senate did quite a bit of bus­ iness Tuesday afternoon, among tbe bills passed being one which defines criminal anarchy and provides Impris­ onment up to 10 years for agitators of that kind. Favorable action was also given the Sovereign bill provid­ ing for greater precaution and Inves­ tigation before juvenile offenders are sent to penaj institutions. It provides that courts may designate private per­ sons to take charge of such children. The bill making it a felony for male persons to commit nameless offenses against other males was discussed in executive session and afterward was passed. • < ' The Grand Rapids furniture manu­ facturers want the legislature to ap­ propriate $150,000 for a building at the world’s fair, to be held in St. Louis. Tbe delegation of manufacturers who appeared to advocate the appropria­ tion were from Grand Rapids, other parts of the state had no advocates. They claim that they prefer to pay for tbe space they use but want the state to be among the, leaders at the big show. It looks as If the scheme will be favorably reported.. Rep. Vandercook says his proposi­ tion to the house state affairs commit­ tee for the removal of the state capi­ tal to Grand .-Rapids was merely a "josh,” and not intended to be se­ riously considered. \ ; Both houses, under suspension qf the rtxles, passed a large number of bills Thursday afternoon- Mort of the bills were not printed, the members did not know what was In many of them, and they didn’t-seem to care.

Always wind up a watch as nearly as possible at the same time every day and do it as smoothly as possible to avoid sudden Jerks. Most watches are now made toeyteas, but If a key has to be used it should be kept perfectly clean and free from grit or flue, says an exchange. If a watch is hung up, it must have eome support at the back, and if laid borixontally It is well to place some soft substance under it for more general support; otherwise the action of tbe balance will cause a pen­ dulous motion of the watch and cause much variation In time. Tbe watch pocket must be kept as free from -lust and nap as possible. Superintendent C. H.

RALD “WANTS.” All That is Asked, However, is for the Farmers to Furnish the Cream from 300 Cows, * Although no public announcement has been made tbe Herald is informed that a creamery will be established in this city if the farmers will agree at the ox’tset to furnish 300 cows. No bo­ nus has been asked and we understand that none will be required. In talking with farmers who have patronized some of the different cream­ eries located in the county we learn that the creamery is a good thing for them and they realize more from their cows than by making butter them­ selves. Register of Deeds Aaron Sherk, who has patronized tbe creamery at Middle­ ville ever since it started is well pleased. He said he couldn’t help but notice the difference in price of dairy butter and the product of the creamery. When dairy butter was bringing 16c. per pound, ho was getting 26c. for the butter at the creamery. As he paid three cents a pound for making it, his profit was seven cents a pound over the old way. Mr. Mead Brown, who is a practical man in the business, and one of tbe best butter makers in the country, we understand is ready to start in business as soon as the farmers will do their part. He is a resident of Barry county and well and favorably known by many of our citizens and he would like to es­ tablish a creamery at home. He has been connected with a factory in Wis­ consin for three years, at which place he was also the secretary for tbe farm­ ers, keeping their accounts with the creamery, and he is satisfied that If he can only get established that tbe cus­ tomers will Increase Instead of dimin­ ish. All the creameries In the county, so far ns we are able to ascertain, are pay­ ing Investments for the farmers, and we understand that the Freeport creamery made about 200,000 pounds of butter last year. If there are enough farmers In this vicinity who are interested and can now take hold of tbe matter we believe the requirement can be met., A letter to Mr. Brown will suffice to get any in­ formation needed.

NEW COMPANY ORGANIZED TO ACQUIRE AND OPERATE BENT­ LEY RIDER & CO.’S PLANT. Will Increase Capacity SO Per Cent. But Desires Financial Aid from tha Citizens. It may be a source of satisfaction to tbe citizens of Hastings to know that Tuesday evening there was organized In the city of Grand Rapids a company to acquire and operate the Bentley, Rider A Co.’s plant, and the chairman, J. L. Stites, now with one of Grand Rapids' most successful factories, has informed us that there is no thought of removing the factory until an effort has been made to see whether or not the citizens wish to retain it here. In order to place the plant more nearly on a footing with the other factories and give his company a better opportunity to carry out its plans of expansion, Mr. Stites desires a little financial assistance from Hastings. We are pleased to say that a number of our business men, realizing the import­ ance of keeping all we have and get­ ting more if possible, have expressed their willingness to donate something to tbe company in order to have It re­ main with us. Mr. Stites is well and favorably known in Grand Rapids and Mr. Todd, of the bookcase company, says of him, “You couldn’t find a better man in Grand Rapids.” . Mr. Stites will be unable to be here ail the time but will have his foreman, E. T. Stearns, supervise the work un­ der his directions. The company can guarantee to the people of Hastings an increase in capacity of 50 per cent, or more during the coming year. New lines will be added as soon as possible which will work iu with the other factories’ lines, giving to Hastings’ salesmen an opportunity to sell an ex­ tended line of goods—all, with the same finish—an advantage which salesmen of the larger manufacturing places readily recognize. Mr. C. G. May wood of this city will be business manager of the new company. Letter to Mr. John Mate, Hastings, Mich. Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoes and nails; your grandfather, if he was a blacksmith, made ’em. You can’t af­ ford to hammer them out by hand, when you can buy as good, or better perhaps, ready made to your hand, for a little more than the cost of the iron. What do you think of a painter who goes on buying his linseed oil and white* lead, and mixing, and tinting by hand, and charging bis time for work that is far better-done than he can do it; done by machinery; done as your horseshoes and nails are made. Mtotoke isn't it? He is wasting bls chance in the wox-ld. There is no better stuff to do business with than good horseshoes and paint; and nc better work than putting them on. Good horseshoes well put on: It’s tbe putting ’em on that makes you a blacksmith; no matter who makes ’em. Who wants to go back to old times, and make his own horseshoes? f? Between ns t<o, that painter don’t know how to makegood paint—he used to; but paint has run away from him. Fred L. Heath handles De.oe paint. Yoars truly, . F. W. Devoe A Co. SOAKED THE CIH FORM ALLEN JONES OBTAINS DAMAGES FRbM THE CITY. The Total Expenses to- the City Will Foot up to About 8800. The case of Allen Jones vs. the city of Hastings came to a close last Friday morning at 9:00 o’clock when tbe jury returned a verdict of $300 damages for tbe plaintiff. The jury was composed of Daniel Bowerman, Assyria; Wm. McCallum and Milo Hayes, Hope; Emory Cross, Orangeville; O. B. Wilcox, Baltimore; Abner Wilcox, Thornapple; Stephen L. Hicks, Castleton; John Buehler, Irving; W. C. Dunham, Maple Grove; Chas. Cheney, Carlton; Wilber Hynes, Wood­ land; and Frank Cox, Johnstown. Seventeen witnesses were sworn for the plaintiff and ten for tbe defendant. The plaindff alleges that in 1896 the common council changed the natural water course down Jefferson street, cutting it off at. the corner of Jefferson and Court street and throwing all the water down Court street that forzqerly came down Jefferson street; that the council put in a 12-inch tile down Court street which was not large enough to carry the water; further that the man­ hole and tile were neglected and al­ lowed to fill up; that on July 8, 1900, and on July 3, 1901, it rained and the water not finding an outlet went iuto his cellar, tearing away a portinn of the wall, and that the water soaked in and caused tbe walls to settle. Ths city claimed the right to change the water course, aud contended that on tbe dates mentioned the rain was excessive and that they were not obliged to prepare for a flood and should not be held responsible for what tbe weather man did. The proofs showed that on June 16, 1899, a motion was made by the council to have the street commissioner look after the sewerage on Court street, but this was never done until after the floods, This alone was sufficient to show neglect, and was sufficient for a verdict. Nearly four days were consumed in the trial and the jury had the case eight hours before reaching a verdict. The case for the plaintiff was strongly fought by Thos. Sullivan and Colgrove & Potter, while the city’s interests were looked after by City Attorney Nagler and L. E. Knappen of Grand Rapids. The entire cost to the city will be about $800, L. E. Knappen’s bill alone being 8237. Wm. Dooley was in Charlotte, Satur­ day, on business. ’ Mrs. Clara Goodrich has gone to Muskegon to reside.

To guard against such a condition, which would be infinitely the present evils of the conventlon.and caucus system, it will be necessary for the primary election law for the state to provide that separate ballots be print­ ed for each and every party represented and to stipulate that the voter mustpall for his own party ticket and make his choice of candidates from the one ticket which he takes into the booth.

The alleged reason for amending the treaty as above stated is that the pro­ vision It contains for reducing the tariff la in the nature of revenue legislation .which the constitution requires must 'originate in the lower house of congress. ' 'EUnoe, it was claimed that the treaty * must go to the bouse for approval in or­ der to comply with tbe constitution. It la likely that this reason was put forth *■ as an excuse to delay the taking effect the treaty. And yet it must be ac­ knowledged that there is much ground in the language of the constitution to ■ justify this reasoning. The Imposition . or removal of a tariff upon imports is ’ certainly a matter that concerns rov• enue, and the Cuban commercial treaty, M well as all reciprocity conventions provided for in the Dingley law, will • affect the revenues of the government. Hence while It may be matter for re­ gret that the nation’s promise to Cuba 11 not being promptly and generously fulfilled in its original spirit, it will ’ Jtave t# be admitted that a compliance •with tbe letter of the constitution is a pretty valid excuse for delay. It re­ mains to be seen whether the partial victory which Mr. Roosevelt has se­ cured can be made a complete one, by ; Obtaining the approval of the house of representatives to tbe treaty as it comes to that body from tbe senate. The Coal Commission’s Good Work. The great coal strike of last summer which cost a hundred millions dollars Rnd caused wide spread disaster and distress was certainly a heavy price to pay for the establishment of a principle, but tbe results of the eminent commis­ sion’s investigations and the decision reached may well be worth to the coun­ try all that.it has cost. The report of the commissioners which has just been made public shows , that neither the miners nor the operatore have gained or lost all they, were contending for. Like all disputes there were two sides to it, and like most de­ cisions, the report is a compromise. The miners have contended most'earnestly, fcr the recognition of their union, but the commission has not recognized it. Tbe decision goes even farther and stipulates that there must be no die^srimination In wages dr treatment be­ tween union and non-ubion men, a deidsion that is eminently just. EspferertbeleHB the miners have great ^ftinn to feel satisfied with the report. They are given a substantial increase in wages and a sliding scale which in­ sures. to them a fair increase when the Wixereare getting higher prices for end. Their hours of labor are somewha:- shortened and provision is made protect them against unfair loading And weighing of coal. These are but a part of the advanKfaM w^ich the miners gain by the deniian, and one of the most important Nrthr reaching advantages remains to be mentioned, that of the establishment a permanent board of conciliation to whiuh all disputes and mlsunderssandtog* between the miners and employers pfe* to be referred. This in itself U Sure than an adequate compensation •w the failure to obtain recognition of IM untoo. and is likely to prove the AKjfitiun cf the labor troubles in the /JBfeing regions.

On several occasions the secretary has been compelled by the president to act in entire opposition to bls own judgment, notably Id the. case of the awarding of recent contracts for armpuredcruisers. Mr. Moody Uvorod awarding the contract for both vessels to the Cramps of Pbiiadelpbiapmt the president insisted that one vessel should be built by a New York ship building company and this was accordingly done. The president Is now earnestly advocat­ ing a general staff for tbe navy, similar to tbe general staff recently, authorized by congress for the army. Mr. Moody does not approve of the measure, which would materially curtail the importance of the position of secretary of the navy, but the president is insistent and Mr. Moody, so tar as can be learned, Is fol­ lowing out his instructions. Danger of Colds and Grip. Tbe greatest danger from colds and grip is their resulting in pneumonia. If reasonable care is used, however, and Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy taken, all danger will be avoided.- Among tbe tens or thousands who have used this remedy for these diseases we have yet to learn of a single case having resulted in pneumonia, which shows conclusive­ ly that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. It will cure a cold dr an attack of the grip in less time than any other treatment. It is pleasantand safe to take. For sale by Dawson Bros. Red, Estate Transfers. WARRANTY. Jas. W. Farrell to Geo.

TMOB. «. , �Detroit—Cattle: ood to chok-e bu A famous pkysuian, in speaking of health, beauty, and a good figure, said: ' : "In my experience many American women have not the strength to tie up outdoor sports, many lack the inclination for active physical exertion, household cares or office work— they feel languid, tired and wom-out by the weaknesses so common to their sex. Some women have household duties which keep them shut up at home. For all such persons I should advise a few simple daily exercises, with light dumb­ bells, devoting only ten npnutes of the"day to it at first, and gradually increasing it until they find that their whole being is stimulated and strengthened by it If the young girl—or the matron—is troubled at certain periods with irregularity, weakening drains, and backache—perhaps faint and dizzy spells—then she should take something medicinally to cor­ correct these faults. Nothing "could be better than a prescription which Or. R. V,-Pierce used in his large practice for many years, in the diseases of women. Thfe " Favorite Prescription ” of Dr, Pierce has had an immense sale for the past thirty:six years, because of its uniform success in the cure of women’s diseases, and because of the many thousand­ women who have attested to its merit. Being made entirely of extracts of roots and herbs, without alcohol, it is perfectly harmless to the most delicate system, and the best ready-to-hand remedy in the market.” • "To insure perfect health, every tissue, bone, nerve, tendon, or muscle should take from the blood certain materials for its nourishment and growth. Every organ must have its period of activity and of rest, so as to circulate the vital fluid in a proper manner to nourish every part. This is why I believe in advising every woman to take gentle exercise out of doors or indoors. If the functions are not regular or the pains are severe then she should at once use a reliable remedy.” Nn. A. BEL YEA, of BoMvnd, New Brunsmck, said: "I suffered more than a year from nervousness and functional derangement. Had pains in the left side of abdomen all the time. Some days could hardly get around. Kept my bed about half the time. I wrote to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., and got his advice for which I have ever been thankful. I began taking ' Favorite Prescription ’ right away as he advised. It makes me sleep well at night which I never did before, and I feel rested.

W & �I / ’ ’Ccjp Democratic Nominee for the University Successful Lawyers E COURT the Micblof the NOMINEE ■'Son. James H. Pound, the nominee on the Democratic ticket for Justice of tbe Supreme-Courts la not only one of . the ablest lawyers In the state of Michlf»n, but te also one of tbe most loyal I friend# of tbe common people that this state has ever produced. Tbe explanation of Mr. Pound’s strength with the people wbo know him best 1b his rugged and unswerv’ Ing Integrity. -He Is. emphatically a i man of the people. He has no patience 1 with sham and pretense, and is abaoC’ lately unmindful of appearance®. Al­ though be owns a very large amount Of property in Detroit—all earned by HON. JAMES H. POUND his untiring labors In hla profession—be Is plain and unpretentious lu hla dress aud careless of the appearance of hla busy office to an extent which 1b often called eccentricity. He la. In fact, a sort of Michigan Horace Greeley, and, like the great Journalist, he has things of more importance to attend ro than clothing and office fixtures. He is a .. man of strong and .vigorous intellect, and has decided opinions, which he is not afraid to defend. He deals sledge hammer blows at everything he at­ tacks, but Is absolutely sincere in everything he says, and the people ot Detroit have learned to trust in and rely upon "Jim” Pound, as be Is fa­ . ■ mlllarly called. । . HIs success lu bls chosen profession . has been phenomenal. NoJ lawyer in the stale of Michigan ever had such an extensive practice as that which Mr. • Pound has built up by his acknowl­ edged legal ability, and by the success­ ful outcome of the litigation which he . has conducted. He has been entrusted With the care of more than 1,906 cases Id courts of record. and be has been re­ tained la more than 800 cases in ths •. l«preme Court, having argued and briefed 296 Supreme Court cases up to time of his nomination. Conclu­ sive proof of his legal ability will be found scattered through ji hundred volumes of Michigan reports. Mr. ' Pound Is president of tbe Wqyne Coun­ ty Bar Association, and is universally . esteemed by tbe members of bls proHis popularity with the people of Detroit, who . know him belt, te condnslrely shown by the vote which he received lu 1898, when be was the Democratic nominee for congress and ran 5.200 rotes ahead of hla ticket, and also by hte vote at tbe following spring election for circuit Judge. He was elected circuit judge against an ad­ verse Republican majority of over three thousand, but was counted out Ly a pretended plurality of 25 votes. Mr. Pound te a man in the <uli vigor «f perfect health; te 6 feet In height, and weighs more than 225 pounds. He was married some twenty years ago, and has two children, a boy of 17 and a daughter younger. Although ho Is a releu1185* fighter when he engages In any controversy, be te a man of even temper and generoua disposition, and has a best of friends among all classes, parties and creeds. Mr. Pound was born in Detroit. Au*Mt 27, 1852,' and te a product of the British Isles in two generations. In hte rein# the blood of England, Scotl|Xld and Ireland unites, ar I be has by the virility of -til three ?a of hte ancestry.

ONE OF THE lAN^CASES WHICH JUDGE HOOKER DECIDED IN FAVOR OF CORPORATIONS Decision Which Puts tbe Pablle at the Mercy of HaUros<l Kmployeei Among tbe many things which were brought np against JtMgo Hooker at the Republican state convention was his decision In tbq. ease of Brown va. the Rapid Ry. Co., filed May 8th, 1902. Samuel J. Brown, the well-known Detroit real estate man and life-long Republican, was the plaintiff In that case, and he presented to the delegates a pamphlet containing an outline of the facts and correspondence concern­ ing tbe same, which any voter Inter­ ested in can probably obtain by writ­ ing to Mr. Brown at bls office, 27 Hodges block, Detrpit A conductor of tbe Rapid Railway Co. ton* off the wrong coupons from round trip tickets, which Mr. Brojvn had purchased, and on the return trip Mr. Brown and bls family were put off the car, Mr. Brown, himself, being forcibly ejected, and subjected to great humiliation and annoyance. It was .ad­ mitted that the conductor was entirely to blame, and that Mr. Brown proved to the conductor wbo ejected him, by the word of several passengers, that the circumstances were as he claimed. Mr. Brown recovered $500 In tbe Justice court, but when the case final­ ly reached the supreme court. Judge Hooker decided that all he was entitled to was forty cents, which tbe coupons cost him. He held in effect that if a conductor makes an unjust claim upon a passenger, the passenger must pay whatever Is demanded and then re­ cover the amount from the company afterwards. In a published letter to a supporter of Judge Hooker, who Is one of the attorneys of the Michigan Central R. R. Co., Mr. Brown said of the results of this decision: *Tf you were here, you could see men, women and children ejected from the cars for the mistakes of the em­ ployes. The only thing for parties us­ ing this fori" of conveyance to do Is to take n shotgun along to defend themselves, or pay whatever Is de­ manded. Hence, we need njen on tho .supreme bench—even If they are not brilliant lawyers—men of common horse sense.” The best Republicans In Michigan took the same view as that held by Mr. Brown, but the machine dele­ gates, under the lead of Tom Navin, succeeded, after r bitter fight. In re­ nominating Judge Hooker. We .negest that a Croat deal better plan than the "shotgun policy” recom­ mended by Mr. Brown is for tbe intel­ ligent and self-respecting voters of Michigan to administer a warning and rebuke to corruption and corporation control by casting their votes for a fearless and honest man, a leading Michigan lawyer, who will make an upright and Incorruptible judge—tbe Democratic nominee, James H. Pound. “NOW IS THE TIME TO KICK” PAStE THIS ARTICLE IN YOUR HAT ' The corpbrations made Bliss gov­ ernor; Bliss made the notorious Tom Nayla a state officer and Republican boss: and Navin made Judge Hooker tbe Republican nominee for justice of the Supreme Court If you dofi’t like it, now te the time to kick; vote the Democrat ticket State taxes have increased ten times faster than the growth of the state, and after every Republican victory a lot of new offices have been created and the salaries of oM officials have boon raised.

The platform is nbout fi by 12 feet, sufficiently large tp accommodate eight or ten fair steed bogs.

The platform itaelf ia made of two Inch plank twelve feet long. It 1» conoidend best to uae plank on account ot the wear and tear. He had used both the. two Inch* plank and inch boards. The inch stuff will do. but will not last as long. • In framing the platform the planks should be mounted upon 2 by 4‘s set up edgewise. The 2 by 4’s abould be of good pine or oak; either will last well. The planks are-securely nailed to tbe 2 by 4’s. On one side of the platform Is the trough, apd this te a good place for It It gives the hog a good place to stand while drinking and be free fro in mud and slush in very bad wea til­ er. At the other side and end are nailed 2 by 4’s to keep the corn from working off* the platform when the hogs are eating. The opposite end has no cleat, but is left open ta give a place to clean the platform readily after each feeding. When building the platform, let it incline toward the nucleated end, so that in rainy weather the water will wash and clean the platform. .The amount of material required to build this platform is'less than200 feet, and at the. price of hemlock plank In hte market (about $ 17 per thousand) it is so cheap that no fanner should try to get along without it. ^Tbe platform will pay for itself the first year, and it will last many years. rural carriers stall travel are fit At present the department ta rwamp' cd with the complaints of the rural car■ riGrB about tbe condition of the roads IQver thpy *re expected tp carry !1110 saJ8 tb*-* Kaumis City Star.

When the womanly organism is dis­ eased, headache, backache, nervousness and sleeplessness are consequences which are sure to follow.'

In the days of the monarchy the biggest eggs in France used to be sent to the Louvre for tbe king There they were blessed at the iuush <in Easter Hsturday, at which the king and Ins court were present and after the mass his maj­ esty dis'rl but ci! them among the mem­ bers nf his court The Itusjihiu Easter festival lasts four day-*, during which people carry eggs and -■xrt.ni.gr Them with one an­ other whet they meet, with this salu­ tation aud answer. “t'hrist is risen!” “It la so of a truth.” The:, tbe Speakers kiss, whether they Ik» men women or natlj acid woman.

After the conclusion pf an Arabic ser­ mon the body is.borne away to the sepulcher, where It lies till the cere­ mony of resurrection Is performed on Easter morn. . Tbe moat interesting of all the cere­ monies of the week is that of the "holy fit®” celebrated by the Greek church. There Is a curious foundation to this are told, it was customary among the Latins to extinguish all lights tn the church on the evening of the crucifix­ ion, and on the eve of the resurrection a bishop, leading a solemn procession, replaced new fire Ln all tbe lamps. An oM tradition iaya that on one occasion the bishop found the lamps already miraculously lighted before the proees 8ion entered the church.

PASCHAL Copi/rtQh!. ixn, by the S. S. Ifcdurt rompany “Will you look at that?’ Miss Davldsor swung aronnd on her swivel chair and held an open letter toward "Katherine Howard, 1 Editor Woman’s Page,” known in private life as Jack Higgins. He took his feet down from his desk and his cigarette from his mouth, which small IflclvllitTes lose their im­ politeness In tbe good chumship of newspaperdom, even If he had no/ been her cousin and privileged, ’and read aloud: Dear MIm Howard—Will you- pleaae ad­ vise mo through your valuable colujnn— which I read dally with much pleasure— how I can possibly obtain an introduction to a most attractive young lady In the office across tho street from mine? I am sure she is good and bright and lovable from her looks, which I study surrepti­ tiously from my window every day. But seeing through a glass darkly Is most unlatlstactory -ahe is so tapAalbtlngly near other.’ Doot meddle with destiny ” I Which Journallrtle wet blanket how­ ever, seemed not to have the Intended cooling effect upon its recipient for be opened Ids window every afternoon thereafter just the same an< whistled loudly to a newsboy below to “bring up two Arrows.” ; ’ .। Having in due time received them. | he Mt down ou the broad window sill and ostentatiously x>erused the entire woman’s page. Across tbe way tbe assistant editor thereof dimpled and twinkled over her desk an:l her muci­ lage brush, though her head was stu­ diously turned away from the street. Miss Davidson prided herself on her ‘ rigid sense of justice, l-ut sometimes it was sorely tested. It was her duty I to open and*read all letters and the j manuscripts for the dally prize story ! of 500 words. These last she assorted Into three piles—good, possible and im­ I possible. Tbe first were published, the l second turned over for another read­ ing and final .decision to the editor, “Miss Howard." The last were re­ turned to the writers. She came upon one which she un­ hesitatingly pronounced good and was • about to place it on the first pile when the name and address of the author caught her eye. Sbe recognized them as belonging to a woman who was “second rdad er” on a well known magazine and who had only the week before rejected a story which Miss Davidson had sub­ mitted for publication. Her cheeks burned anew as she recalled the curt I 'sentence scrawled across the usual j printed "declined with thanks" slip ; which rouses all the evil passions in . the literary temperament: t Dear Madam—You can surely do better atorles than this. Send u» a really first rate story, and we will be glad to cot. She took a rejection slip from a pigeonhole In her desk. t Chance had put revenge into her own hands. Sbe dlpp'd her pen into 'the violetk Ink and poised it above the slip. Then” she paused. This was the Sumter shot of Lhe war lx*tween “cattlnesa,” which she detested, and Justice. An­ other moment of hesitation, then Vic­ tory perched on the banner of tbe blind goddess. Sbe laid down the dried pen and tossed the casus belli over to tbe desk of the editor, saying briefly: "Better run that one tomorrow." "All right. Whatever you say goes.” “May I see Miss Howard?’ asked a deep voice at tbe door of Their clut­ tered den two days later. Jack Hig­ gins looked up from hts sheaf of proofs aud recognised “Percival IL C.’’ "I am Miss Howard." he said coolly. "What can I do for you?* "Ob—I—I thought"— stammered the visitor; then recovered himself, catch­ ing in his embarrassment at tbe first straw, which happened to be Jack's (Sreek letter fraternity pin. "I say, 1 am an Alpha Omega too." And he gave him the grip. "My name’s Clif­ ford. I have a* message of thanks for you from my sister, Mrs. Smith, whose story took your ten dollar prize y •«terday; also the receipt for . your check.” Jack's eyes twinkled as he sized up this persistent suitor. “Gad, I’ll help him out,” was tbe mental result of his scrutiny. He waved bls hand toward the desk by the window where sat a very red cheeked young woman. • "My cousin, Misa Davidson, attends to that, Mr. Clifford,” be said. And that was the way Fate intro­ duced them. 'Y*_. The way that arbitrary old dame finally disposed of them might be guessed from a pretty scene enacted on the .afterdeck of tbe Etruria as she swung out of tbe North river one hot day last summer. .

Bentl-' J ment might sway him, but a mob never moved him. When jealousies In the1: army bred a popular clamor against General Grant, while tbe latter was winning famous victories in the oouthwest, Lincoln listened to no word ofscandal and by his silence rebuked the1 defamers of tbe general who afterward became the admiration of tbe world. When La the fevered tumult of passion an angry north seemed to voice a genera! demand for tbe infliction of the' death penalty upon Jefferson Davis, Lincoln listened in silence and waffed for reason to resume its sway. He was always looking over the heads of fhe; crowd. He was always listening to the! still small voice that echoed In the dis-j taace, far away from the roar of vehe-' ment denunciation.

Quigley, Honing Bo many stories are afloat concerning Mr. aufirMrs. Levi Gebhardt, respected residents of the second ward of this city, detrimental to them, .that the Herald has taken tbe pains to learn the facta as they are, and will briefly give them to our readers. In 1875 Miss Libbie Goade was mar­ ried to Charles J.rLumley at Aurora, New York. They lived together until 1884, but not happily. To them were born two children, .a son and daughter. Her husband’s conduct became bo un­ bearable that they separated, his par­ ents taking the .boy and her parents the girl. Lumley left the vicinity and was gone for two yean. Returning to the same neighborhood he began liv­ ing with another woman who he claimed was his wife. He also claimed that he had been in Chicago and had obtained a divorce from his first wife. The statement was accepted as truthful and the woman was accepted as his wife, and be has lived with her ever since and to them a child has been born. Mrs. Libbie Lumley, after believing herself to be free, became engaged to and was married to Levi Gebhardt, and thd marriage certificate is evidence that their intentions were strictly hon­ est. They came to Hastings where they have lived ever since. The re­ port that they endeavored to keep their marriage a secret to people fn New York is untrue, for about six years ago they were back home to a reunion of thp Gebhardt family and at that time the newspapers stated that the event was given in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Gebhardt. They also, while there, visited brothers of Charles Lumley and | werp received as husband and wife. Mr. and Mrs. Gebhardt had no idea that anything was wrong until last December when Mrs. Gebhardt was served with a. notice of the pendency of a suit for divorce by said Charles Lum­ ley in New York. Mrs. Gebhardt there­ upon commenced suit in Barry circuit for- divorce against said Lumley and last Thursday the decree was granted upon the bill as confessed. A license to wed was then procured and they were legally married the same day. Thus it can be seen that Mr. and Mrs. Gebhardt took the only course anyone else could have done Jnder like circumstances, and instead of being censured they should be praised.

The Essence of Primary Reform. The scope of the reform must be state wide. It must include those of­ ficials the nomination of whom hasbeen placed fartberest from the in­ fluence of the people by theft at the hands, of the professional politicians. The tpain purpose of the reform is cen­ tered in the state officials. Give tbe state a bill providing for their nom­ inations in the primaries, and the nom­ ination of members of the legislature, congressmen and x local officials will follow easily and as a development out of approval of the experience in nomi­ nating the state ticket by direct vote.

Points 'SOUTHERI Cuba That tbe abundant prosperity which the,country has recently enjoyed will continue is augured from the govern­ ment crop report just issued. It is esti­ mated therein that tbe winter wheat crop will, barring accidents which may occur hereafter, amount to 520,090,000 bushels as compared with 362,672,138 bushels last year. It is usual to expect some deterioration from these figures during this month, but even allowing for that, it will be a monster crop. “It is glorious” said an Iowa politician ye*terday. “We can go out and tell the farmers that those are the kinds of crops they grow under a repuollcau|adminis­ tration and they will believe us and vote a straight ticket.” “Yes, and you may as well tell them that it is all due to my management, of the weather bureau, ’’added Secretary Wilwin dryly.

LOUISVILLE 4 NASHVUXJ- T k �—----E The important part which tbe judlo ■'M department of our government acts , feoer national affairs is .eldom realtMkd except when some decision like that in tbe Northern Securities case [jtartdves vast projects and' affects the money centers of tbe country. It is Ch*n made plain that tbe functions of aba courts are extremely essential to the welfare erf the people. By the decision of the United States cfawuit court'of appeals at St. Louis the Northern Securities company which undertook to merge two trunk lines of . MhUroad into one vast system for the purpose of preventing competition and controlling rates is enjoined from vot5tag the stock of tbe Northern Pacific or Groat Northern Railway companies. . The court views the attempt to com­ bine these great competing lines, op­ erating twenty thousand miles of track, m an attempt in restraint of trade and commerce among the several states, .and therefore a violation of the anti­ trust law. It therefore says in effect that the securities company miist undo all that it has done and abandon the purpose of its existence. t In Its consequences goes without saying. It calls a halt to tbe mighty schemes of J; Pierpont Mbrgan and his fellow con­ spirators to gain I control of tbe trans­ portation business of tbe country. It is believed by some that it will affect all tbe consolidations and combinations now existing in the country. If so its. /.interpretation is little short of revolut-' lonary, but tbe trend of opinion among the best informed lawyers and business men seems to be more reae. soring. It is not likely that tbe spirit of tbe anti-trust law nor of its interpre­ tation at St. Louis is meant to be one of ^hostility to long established business B enterprises of any sort. The law Is ap. patently designed to prevent a contin[- nance of methods that have become so ... gigantic within the last ten or fifteen • years as to threaten tbe very liberty ot the people to control their own businew interests. The formation of the 1 Mbrthern Securities company was a mere subterfuge to avoid a direct violHion of tbe anti-trust law. If the pur£ posse of this company are sustained by the courts, there is nothing to prevent Morgan and the other magnates from ^Carrying out their wicked plan of buy­ lug np all the transportation lines In the country, * thereby holding the r American people entirely at tbeir mercy. Regarding the decision from this standpoint^ will prove of inest. ixnable importance to the industrial future of the nation. Al) a Mistake.

If they had any doubt about the sentiment of the western part of tbe state on this proposition, it must have been dispelled by the show­ ing made before the joint meeting of the educational and normal school com­ mittees by representative citizens of the leading cities interested. The gentlemen that appeared before the committees showed themselves to be very much in earnest in asking for a normal school In this part of the state and they presented an array of argu­ ments In favor of their contention that ought to have been convincing as to the need of such an institution. A signifi­ cant fact connected with thia meeting was tbe presence of Principal Jones of tbe State Normal college at Ypsilanti, and Principal Grawn of the Mt. Pleas­ ant normal, and of the strong argu­ ments which they both advanced in favor of another normal school. There can be no question but that the highest welfare of'the state de­ mands better and more general train­ ing of the army of young teachers that the common schools of the state are annually calling for. It is absurd to expect that young men and women just out of the high school without any special preparation or technical know­ ledge of the • principles of pedagogy whatever, can step into a school room even in the country school, and teach successfully. True, the teaching of the past generation has been largely done by such unprepared young men and women, but the time has come when the requirements of the school room can not be thus easily met. The teacher of the twentieth century must have better preparation than the teach­ er of the nineteenth and the schools of the country districts and of the small villages are coming to demand normally trained teachers as well as those of tbe This increased demand for better trained teachers will have to be met by establishing more normal schools in the state. Other states are meeting this demand and Michigan will have to follow suit or fall behind her sister commonwealths In the educational ad­ vancement of the day. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the legislature will see the necessity and reasonable­ ness of granting to western Michigan tbe new normal school which this sec­ tion of the state is asking for. Detroit's Greatest Need. The Detroit Tribune has for the sec­ ond time within the last few weeks made a strong special plea for a bridge across the Detroit river. We wish that journal success in its commendable ef­ forts to bring about the one thing need­ ful to the commercial greatness of De­ troit. The beautiful river that flows past the doors of the city is as great an obstacle to railroad transportation as it is a mighty vehicle for the commerce of the great lakes. This obstacle must be overcome before Detroit can make much further progress. The, wonder­ ful ferry system upon which the rail­ roads have had to depend to transfer their freight and passengers across the river has practically reached the limit of its efficiency and yet the business of । these roads is constantly increasing. In such an emergency as this It would seem as if the whole city of De­ troit would be united in favoring the bridge project, and yet the council are quibbling about a difference of six inches in the matter of grade crossings and talking about going into the courts over It, thereby postponing indefinite­ ly the bridge project which dependsupon tbe previous settlement of the grade crossing question. It is to be hoped that the vigorous campaign for a bridge which one De­ troit paper is making and In which it would seem all the papers of the city would heartily join, may [soon accomp­ lish its purpose. The agitation for the bridge should be kept red hot until tbe city’s authorities wake up to the neces­ sities of the situation. And. visited her son Clayton.

Kw/att as tar­ rta company.-—Chicago Ttib- ft is many years since the United States government has bothered with the making of roads. Years ago, when Henry Clay lived, be was a great friend of good roads. Through hto In­ tervention the government built the national road from Cumberland, Md., almost to fit Louis. ' SF’'S Since then the building of railroads has caused wagon roods to receive less attention. .Their day. however, is com­ ing, thanks to the automobile and the rural mall delivery system. The trou­ ble Is that while many communities de­ sire good roads few know how to build them. ' _ That was why a good roads train traveled1 from Chicago to San Fran­ cisco, giving lessons in roadbuilding, says a writer in the St Louis Post­ Dispatch. Stops of a week were made at many points and conventions held, jyhich were attended by local and state officials. At the conventions the build­ ing of good roads was emphasized, and associations for tho building of good roads were formed. Much time was devoted to building roads and explain­ ing the manner of buildtag. A section^ of road was taken and drained. Part of it was built with one material and part with another in order that those Interested .might see the way of work­ tag with each. This plan was contin­ ued throughout the trip. In speaking of good roads recently United States Highway Commissioner Richardson said he considered'macad­ am roads the best and told how they should be built, as follows: "First you must have your road rolled and graded so that it to dry and firm. On the foundation you must put a layer of crushed stone about two and one-half inches Ln diameter. This layer must be five inches deep. After it has been spread over the ground it must be tolled. If the\rock used contains no ad­ hesive properties, clay or some other substance must be thrown over it be­ fore it to rolled so that its particles may hold together. When the rolling process to over, rock about two inches to diameter must be spread on top to the depth of four inches. This must be rolled also. Then comes the finishing touch—a layer of hard, durable mate­ rial which will cement and bind as ' floes the icing on a layer cake. “Sixteen feet is wide enough for such a road, and In _ some places they are AX OBJDOT LISSOM ROAD.

Too many time# tho dirt road to a drainage canal. Dirt roads must be well drained and well crowned. Crowning to fixing up |he center of the road so that it slopes gradually to each side.” The National Road association lias several objects in view at tbe present time. One to to make the paying of road tax not only the particular duty of the farmer. All property interests are dependent upon good roads, and all should bear the burden, to the argu­ ment of the association. • Another to to abolish the system of working out road tax. In some states men who do Dot desire to pay road tax are permitted to contribute the labor of themselves and their teams instead. The National Good Roads association favors the building of roads under the direction of practical engineers and men trained Ln the science of road­ building. Tbe association contends that the ap­ propriation for tbe building of roads should be as great as that for the deof pur citiren* obtain do advantage from the rivers and harbors, while they are compelled to uao road* all the that are laud In wtnlor atal float lu bnUfllng ot a brawling tbe talr cut abort ■on by •This lx a test of : quMtlons under discussion were attts aid and national aid to roadbufldlng.

The opinion also prevailed that tbe United States government should be­ come one of the co-operating forces in this great work and should pay some share of the cost required to Improve certain leading highways up to a high standard of excellence. - • In this connection the Brownlow bill, now pending In congress, which pro­ vides for a system of cooperation be­ tween the United States and the dif­ ferent states or subdivisions thereof in roadbulldlng. was under considera­ tion. .- It was considered good policy by the participants in the discussion that the United States should be called upon to contribute a share in this nec­ essary improvement of highways. This idea was Indorsed In a resolution, passed by tho convention. Attention was called to tbe fact that the govern­ ment has already appropriated $1,000.­ 000 for such a purpose to Porto -Rico and another million to tbe Philippines, and the secretary of war has lately recommended to congress, with tbe ap­ proval of tbe president, that $3,000,000 should be immediately appropriated for the use of the Philippine government to be mainly expended in building highways find other public Improve­ ments on the Islands. taking ta during the process several mouthfuls of air. ' . This method does more harm than good, causing violent' coughing fits, which irritate the throat and chest, and making the patient morp susceptible to cold. If, therefore, instead of using tbe jug a common bedroom hot water can is taken, well wanned and carefully filled one-third full with boiling water, to which, say, a teaspoonful of eucalyp­ tus oil or whatever the doctor has or­ dered has been added, a capital inhaler has been made. Make a tube of the stiffest notepaper, place over the spout of the can to serve as a mouthpiece, raise the lid of tbe can tbe least Httle bit, and, placing the mouth to the spout, tbe steam escapes as it to breathed out through the lid. It to most important not to fill the can above the opening of the spout, or a mouthful of the boiling water win be sucked in, with most disastrous results. Avoid going into a cold room after in­ haling. One pound of flour, a teaspoonful of cream of tartar, half a teaspoonful of soda, a pound of sugar, half a pound of butter, the whites of sixteen eggs and a teaspoonful of almond flavoring. Beat butter and sugar to a cream, mix with the stiffened whites of the eggs, add flavoring, then the flour, sifted with the soda and cream of tartar.

National and International Canven­ tion to Be Held. - The National Good Roads association has issued invitations for the national and International good roads conven­ tion to be held In St Louis April 27 to May 2, to promote Interest in scientific road construction, says ^he St Louis Republic. W. H. Moore, president of the Good Roads association, recently made the following statement as to the Objects of the convention: “The convention has for Its purpose the broadening of interest in the good roads question and the Initiative for a greater demonstration during the world’s fair In 1904. “The question of road Improvement to receiving more attention than ever before. This country to behind all oth­ ers in tbe civilized world In rood con­ struction. More than 90 per cent of Its area Is destitute of Improved roads, burdened with' primitive methods of roadmaking and made almost Impassa­ ble from mud in winter and Insuffera­ ble from dust In summer. “Persistent agitation of the- good roads question must be kept up until public sentiment shall demand the Im­ provement of highways that In their present condition are barriers to social and commercial progress. “The chief subject demanding public attention to Industrial Improvements, the most important of which is the betterment of the common roads. The convention will hear discussions upon sdentifle methods of common road con­ struction, including plans for providing for their cost and maintenance, togeth­ er with recommendations for practical public road legislation. The nations of tbe world are commercially and social­ ly interested In this Important ques­ tion. They will be represented in the convention.” ' Good Roads Versus Good Schools. One of the most beneficial results of road improvement to the facility It gives to consolidate country schools and thus concentrate our children Into central buildings, so making graded schools possible in our country dis­ tricts. Where Improved roads exist the children by means of bicycles eas­ ily go long distances to central schools. Thus graded roads make possible grad­ ed schools, the Improved roads work­ tag in. harmony with the state educa­ tion taw, giving the children of the rural districts tbe same advantages as those residing In cities. In one year forty-four Connecticut towns by means of improved roads were enabled to give free transportation to a large number of their pupils, says the New York Tribune. Eighty-four small schools were closed, and 849 children rode to the central schools. The cost of trans­ portation was about $12,000, but a gross amount of some $20,000 was saved, leaving a net saving of some $8,000. This saving was only a smal’. part of the benefit derived, for It re­ sulted In a better attendance and bet­ tor schools. This close co-ordination between improved roads and education cannot be too strongly Impressed upon tbe public attention. How to Open a Lobster.

Father Conners, gave a very successful banquet on the evening of St. Patrick's day, it seemed as If it would be a very difficult thing to re­ peat the function another year with equal eclat. But the event of last Thursday evening at Reed’s opera house proved conclusively that it could be done. . The Easter banquet given by St. Rose’s parish was if possible even a more delightful affair than the St. Patrick’s day festival of a year ago. The walls of the opera house were adorned with American flags, and long tables filled the floor space. These tables were made beautiful with flowers and were set with a taste that made them delightful to look upon. Best of all to the hungry guests, no doubt, was , the profusion of appetizing viands, pre­ pared with all the culinary skill for which Hastings housekeepers are fa­ mous and" served with deftness and grace by a number of charming young ladies. Under such conditions the most critical of epicures must have been en­ tirely satisfied, especially when the feast was accompanied by good music by the opera house orchestra. After about 350" people bad partaken of the banquet Father Conners in a few gracious words of welcome turned over the literary program of the evening to the toastmaster, Hon. Thomas Sullivan, who performed the duties of that func­ tionary with the ready wit for'which he is noted. The Hastings Male Quar­ tet, consisting of Messrs. Horton, Wil­ kinson, Ketcham and Paton, opened the program with a well rendered se­ lection, after which Judge Clement Smith responded to the toast, “Our Country.” After very neatly turning a ; little joke on the Smith family perpe­ trated by the toastmaster, the judge proceeded in his usual earnest and im­ pressive way to note some of the things which make this country of ours great and some of the dangers which threaten its greatness. He paid a high compli­ ment to Roman Catholic Americans for their patriotism. Prof, Neapolitan© of Detroit then fa­ vored the company with a well rendered solo on the violin,, which was encored, after which Judge E. J. Doyle of Grand Rapids' responded to “The Catholic Church in America.” After prefacing his remarks with a good story well told, as a sort of an ap­ petizer to the feast that was to follow, Judge Doyle gave a most entertaining and instructive review of the part which Roman Catholics played in the early history of this country, from the days of Columbus and Isabella to the dark days of the American revolution when Catbolle France came to the rescue of the straggling patriots under Washing­ ton. He called attention to the fact that the principle of religious toleration Which forms one of the cardinal doo-, trines of oar government had its incep­ tion, not in Puritan New England, nor among the followers of William Penn, nor in Virginis, bat in Catholic Mary­ land. Mias Carrie Btebblns then sang a beautiful solo, entitled “Asthore” after which Hon. B. J. Onen of Battle Creek was called upon to speak to the toast “Leo XIII.” Mr. Ones had a sugges­ tive and inspiring theme and showed viewed the career of the venerable and remarkable bead of the Roman Catholic church, paying an eloquent tribute to his wonderful spiritual and intellectual powers. ■- • After Miss Bertha Pflug bad sung in a pleasing manner a solo entitled “The Swallows,” Hon W.

Old Iron Works Property to be Oc­ cupied If Demonstration of Engin© is Successful. .,’1 The prospects for a new industry in' Hastings are very flattering. Frank! Dickinson of Lyons, a practical ma­ chinist end the inventor of a new gat and gasoline engine, was in the city Tuesday forenoon, looking for a loca­ tion, where he could get immediate possession of a plant for the manufaoft-[ ure of engines. For a short time in the morning :__ Mayor'Hams escorted Mr. Dickinson 7] around among the business men, after which the latter met Hon. P. T. Colgrove who, with Syl owns the plant of the located within one block of the bust- ; neas portion of the city. His talk with Mr. Colgrove was satisfactory to him and his opinion of our city was the J best, and from encouragement re- -j ceived he believes the outlook Is good i for the location of the plant here. Mr. Dickinson had drawings of his invention with him, showing the sim­ plicity of the engine. The same is not?. ,] yet patented, but a patent attorney has I the matter in charge and informs hhn that there will be no dlffiiculty in se­ curing the patent. . The Herald understands that if a company is organized here Messrs Colgrove and Greusel will sell the bld iron works plant at a reasonable price and take the full amount in stock and the machinery, which is owned , by the Battle Creek Iron Works, will also be transferred. ’ '** ' The plant consists of six city lots, each 63x132 feet, situated on the Une of the Michigan Central railroad with side track fronting 136 feet. The prop-, , erty extends back to the river 350 feet. ' and runs at right angles with 110 feet fronting on Jefferson street next UK--, water works station. There-are three hydrants and the main line of water ! pipes next to the property, with a line of water pipe to the boiler room, thence to different parts of the shop. The lo­ cation is central and the best in the city. The buildings are wooden, brick [ veneer inside, one story and steel roof.' .: There are ten rooms, exclusive of the j boiler room, as follows: office, 12x30 : feet; three main rooms 40x40 ft., 40x40 ft., and 50x15 ft., and six store room* i ® 20x40 ft.’ 20x40 ft., 16x24 ft., 16x20 ft., 14x30 ft., and 18x30 ft. The boiler ' room is of of brick 12x18 feet with brick smoke stack 45 feet high.. Then is also a driveway for teams around all buildings to the two streets. : The machinery equipment consists of one 25 horse power boiler, 10 horse power engine and all pipes nearly new, ) 100 feet of 2-inqh line shaft and about 20 iron pulleys in position, main drive j belt 38 feet long by 9 inches wide, four steam radiators and colls and pipe for [heating shops and office by live or ex­ haust steam, electric lights in main fooms and offline, telephone wires In position, water pipes and faucets from city water works.

Hotel Barry’ to be Opened. N. K. Riddle of Detroit, owner of the Hotel Barry, was in the city Monday and rented the property to Mrs. Frank Stebbins for one year with the privilege of three. Mrs. Stebblnsj as is well 1 known, has been running a boarding ; house on the corner of Court and Church ।streets for several years. Her patronage has become so large that she has felt warranted in assuming the charge of a I hotel and boarding house on a larger iscale. With her successful experience ■and. business energy and with the in- . ; 'creasing demands for hotel accommoda­ 'tions in this dty there la every reason . to believe that Mrs. Stebbins will make H fa success of-her ambitious venture. The Barry will be opened for buslnees j on 1 the first of May. The rates will be 1•1.25 per day. A free bu* will make ail 'trains. Charles Stebbins, son of the landlady, will act aa clerk.

It rises from the side of the Padfic glader. It first appears like a heavy mist and soon becomes clearer, and one can distinctly see tho specter dty, well defined streets and trees, tall spires and huge and odd shap­ ed buildings which appear to be an­ cient mosques or cathedrals. It is a dty which would seem to contain at least 25,000 or 30,000 inhabitants. As yet no one has been able to iden­ tity although several have claimed to recognize the place. There is no dty like it in Alaska, nor in any country about It for thousands of miles. Some claim It is a dty in Russia, others say it is a dty in England, but none can tell where and what it is. The mirage was given the name of Silent City, as it appears to one like a dead dty. There is nothing that would Indicate that it is inhabited. A farmer’s life may be rather monot-' onous as a rule but it has its momenta of keen excitement. At least that is what William H. Couch, the genial auc­ tioneer, will tell you, since Lbe experi­ ence of his boy drilling in oata the other morning. Tbe team took a notion to liven things up a little and ran away. When they came to the rail fence they cleared it at a bound, taking the drill with them, but not the oats, which wore sowed in a heap. Pursuing £helr play­ ful career they next frightened a team that was plowing in,an adjoining field and the latter joined the race. Final­ ly the teams were captured, the only damage being a broken plow, but things were more lively on that farm for a time than a horse race or a naval battle.

That good roads have a money value to farmers will be granted by all. That the money value of improved highways is alone sufficient to Justify the cost of their construction will be confidently claimed or readily admitted by many farmers, questioned by other* and de-, nled by not a few. In view Of tbe financial and many other advantage* of good roads a ma­ jority of the farmer* would favor their construction as rapidly as practicable under some efficient, economical and equitable system of highway improve­ ment. But there is a considerable pro­ portion of the farmer*, doubtless onefifth and possibly one-fourth, who have little knowledge or appreciation of the benefits of good roads and who there­ fore object on account of the great cost THE FARMER S HANDICAP. •f highway improvement The farm­ ers of this class know that they willhave to bear their full share of the burden of such Improvement They dis­ credit Dot wholly without reason, tho statements and conclusions of many public writers as to the losses and gains to farmers from poor and good roads respectively; hence they view with apprehension the general agita­ tion in favor of improved highways. Ignoring or undervaluing the educa­ tional and social advantages as well as the comfort and enjoyment of good roads, or feeling unable to pay the price of such benefits, these farmers1 regard frith distrust and disfavor meas­ ures for highway improvement, ..and they are likely to oppose efforts for the betterment of our roads unless they can first be convinced that good roads will prove a paying financial investment Speaking, therefore, in behalf of those who for any reason are not influenced by the higher considerations in favor of Improved highways, I raise the ques­ tion, Will it pay the farmers in dollars and cents to improve their public roads? r Before attempting to answer this question let us consider in what ways permanently good roads will prove financially beneficial to 'farmers. All will agree, I think; that a good road will— First —Economise time and force ’in ®'* ”* — «■­ transportation between farm and mar­ ket Second.—Enable the farmer to take advantage of market. fluctuations in buying and selling. Third.—Permit the transportation of farm products and purchased commodi­ ties during times of comparative lei­ sure. ' Fourth.—Reduce the wear and tear on horses, harness and vehicles. Fifth.—Enhance the market' value of real estate. But there is another aide to this question—viz, tbe increased value of land from highway improvement Just here tbe objection may be raised that the improved road* would not increase thq productive capacity of the land, while tbe enhanced commercial value would increase the taxes. Let us, for the sake of argument, grant this planalble but fallacious objection and then find what ■it amounts to. Let us suppose the in­ crease in appraisement for taxation to be H an acre and the tax rate 1% per cent This would mean an annual in­ crease in taxes of ”5. cents an acre, or W a hundred acres. Would not our ob­ jector after enjoying the, benefit of good roads be very willing to give therefor the extra $5 if necessary? Would he keep the money and go back to the tnraldom of mud roads? If so. he has tbe option of selling his farm at an advance, according to the average estimates of his brother farmers, that will more than doubly reimburse him for his expenditure on highway im­ provements, and he can then remove to some native wild whose quiet waters have not been "troubled” by the spirit ter, then wiped with a Owe linen towel. among farmers of Ute necessity and than when It comes in valves, and their eye* are covered by a are further furnished with an arrange­ ment which prevents the water from getting down their own throats when they are bolding large animals under the water to drown them.

C., April 27,1M3. There has been, within tbe past wedq open avowal of the determination on the part of certain influential republi­ cans to defeat Mr. Roosevelt in tbe na­ tional republican convention. This op­ position is based on his alleged erratlctem and the ground that lie te not a “safe man.” It !s an llkwind which blows nobody gopd, however, and tbe same men who are opposing Mr. Roose­ velt are contemplating tbe support of the democratic ticket if a wareful and conservative man should be the nomi­ nee. A prominent New Yorker whi> has been recently, in Washington said, on this subject, “We do.not want a man in the white bouse who is always look­ ing for a new sensation and wbe is witl­ ing to abandon even tbe things of hte, own invention as soon as they Cease to be novel. The enforcement of laws wbicb exist and the advocacy of more effective legislation to a desired end is not to be objected to in a president, but we do not, want a president to whom the sensational appeals and who would do a thipg in tbe wrong way rather than in the right in order to appear in the glare of the lime light.” This te only a sam-* pie of the argument* advabded against Mr. Roosevelt’s candidacy by that ele­ ment of New York business men known as “conservatives” and It is heard so frequently as to occasion serious con­ cern to tbe supporters of the president. The weak and half hearted manner in whichkhe postmaster general has been conducting the investigations ordered by tbe president has produced a start­ ling retra lulu ring tbe past week. Tbe wife of the assistant attorney general for the postoffice department, wijh the assMtance of her sister and a safe ex­ pert, has abstracted from the safe which contained, presumably, the private and confidential papers of the division, all the documents it contained an# refused to surrender them to the postmaster general when a demand was made. The sister of Mr*. Tyner, who accompanied her on the expedition, is the mother of 'Hamilton j. Barrett, late lAw-clerk of the postoffice, whose conduct te now un­ der investigation, because of hte known association with a turf investment com­ pany some of whose officers have been recently sentenced to term* Tn the pen­ itentiary for fraud. It is. alleged in some quarters that the object of the raid was the abstraction of papers which would have incriminated young Barrett. The loose methods pureued by tbe poetmaster general are shown in'that, notwithstanding the fact that this divis­ ion has been under investigation for over a month, by order of the president, there is no record of tbe papers in the Tyner safe and now t^at the case has been turned over to the attorney gen­ eral for prosecution be has no evidence with which to refute the claim of Mrs. Tyner that she removed only private papers belonging to herself and her busband. It is alleged that practically the same thing occurred in the case of Superintendent Machen’s safe which, when examined by the inspectors, was -found to contain very few documents. Another remarkable feature of the Tyner incident te that Assistant and Acting Attorney General Chrlstiancy failed to notify tbe postmaster general of what was going on, although aware of the presence of Mrs. Tyner and her the plants. country by repreculture who will afford them ©very assistance itrseelug the country.

It is learned at the staje department that Mr. Andrew Carnegie has added to.tl^e long list of hte benefactions by donating 81,500,000 for the ejection of a building to accommodate tbe Hague Tribunal. Mr. Carnegie has long been a most earnest advocate of peace and arbitration and bis generous donation is only a concrete expression of bis great gratification at the establishment of an international arbitration tri-, buoal. A rumor to ibis effect was in circulation some time ago but no defl­ nite action had been taken at that time and ooly last week did Mr. Car­ negie put bis offer in writing.

Bick rooms should be ventilated even more conscientiously than the rest of the bouse. Many an amateur nurse forgets that tbe sick require pure air quite as much ns the well and so neg­ lect to secure all the air space that is necessary or available. All draperies, hangings and stuffed pieces of furni­ ture that are not absolutely necessary should be banished from the sick room. To air the room without giving the pa­ tient cold place an extra blanket or, coverlet over the bed. draw the sheet up over the patient's head and face and let a strong draft Now through the room for a few minutes. This will effectually dislodge any layers of foul air that may have collected.

Tbe Taxation of Credits Bl' One of the most important matters to Igfotfaim the attention of the legislature is ^ ' embodied in the Campbell bill which $ • provides for the amendmentof the pres­ ent taxation law so as to exempt mort­ gages and other forms of credits from taxation, his Baid that the members are generally undecided as to tbe best l way to dispose of this bill not knowing r? whether their constituents want such a t’ or not. ro?From an equitable point of view there fc,. ’ are serious objections to the present law taxing mortgagee. While it maj have been designed to place upon the rolls a large amount of wealth in the form of credits that otherwise would R7- escape taxation, in practice tbe law has «. .Operated in such a way as to impose |P"JiOuble taxation on mqrtgaged real B ' ettateand the borrower has had to stand k the brunt of this burden, instead of tbe r:- lender. For instance, a farm assessed at 17,000 may be mortgaged for *3,500. m; The owner pays taxes ou *7,000 and the M holder of tho mortgage pays taxes on bis F ;*3,500 mortgage, thus imposing double £ taxation. And if the mortgagee hapL* pens to live in a different county from B that in which the land Ib situated the taxes he pays upon such land go to the |c\ benefit of a county that bos no juat ip claim upon funds thus raised. If the . law could be so amended us to avoid the p' double taxation feature, reaching the - . - money lender for his just share of the HBttrapD, and if tbe funds thus raised G • could be applied for the benefit of the ESj community ia which the mortgaged E -property is situated, tho most objoccionr.,/ able features of the present system -would be overcome. Whether the remedy proposed by the E Campbell bill would not create a vast S amount of confusion in the tax system <rf the state and by upsetting existing methods, complicate matte'rs in a way ? that would be detrimental to the public P -Interests is also a problem to be consldr; cred. It is evident that so important a K. proposition ought not to be acted upon fcg hastily or without the fullest discussion. lj The Defeat of the Grouse! Bill. Nothing which the legislature has done ibis season shows its attitude to­ , wards home rule so conclusively as the by the house of tbe Greusel bill. This measure was designed to t give the people of Detroit an opportun­ ity to defend their own interests against the greediness of the street? rail way cor'.paration. which now has the city by the throat. The bill provided for the submtatou to the people of citire of the question of municipalownershipof pubItafranchkoB. Under such a law, when tbe prexent franchises of the street rail­ way companies of Detroit expired, the people might vote, if they wished, to •ikMMune control of such franobiscB, and buy and operate or lease the street rail­ way system of the city. • ; The advantage which tbe people ^WCpMLavein dealing with the street pbttway mouopok under such a law is abviwus. It would enable the city to J'.juialse equitable terms with tbe biggest sod most unconscionable corporation it ^biaa todaal with, or it could take over properties and luelf control the transportation of the people through . the streets. The law would have fiime a maass of bringIY octopus to terms. --*ihtng which the I high and mighty lawaly voted no and killed principle of home rule a chance to show what it could accomplish for the good of the great municipalities at the state, especially for Detroit. It may well be believed, however, tEat the time ,wiH soon come when this principle wilV be recognized by tbe legislature. For the people will rise in their might and de­ mand its recognition so imperatively that no legislature will dare to refuse. FUX That Oaaawt Swin.

Robins, 'American robins build plaster and dry grass nests in the crotches of treee, while the little English bird of the same name, only about half aa big as its .cousin in America, makes a soft moss nest on the ground. Its breast in a yellow, red or scarlet, much brighter than the American bird, and It Bings even more sweetly, but it Is of small value as an insect destroyer. The American robin, on the other bp nd, has a much duller, quieter coat, a more extended vocabulary, sounding many distinct notes of warning, fear, joy, etc., but not in so sweet a song, and is an Inveterate worm and Insect hunter. With only occasional lapses into vege­ tarianism. at strawberry and cherry ripe time, tbe American robin is really one of the most industrious allies tbe farmer can have. Of course British critics say that the practice of adulterating silk with tin originated in Germany. At any rate, it Is common enough now. All silk is mixed with more or less foreign matter tc give it weight and stability. Vegetable substances were formerly used for the purpose. In dye­ ing silk the necessary boiling reduces its weight about one-fourth, taking oat the natural gummy substances. The weight is sometimes restored with tan­ nic add. Tin is more common- most of all in cheap black silks. Very soft "wash" silks are apt to be pure. Burn a scrap, and nothing re­ mains but ash. A tin weighted scrap when carefully burned leaves a resi­ duum like excessively fine wire gauze. —New York World.

The young wo- loantas over you are writing ‘Jereeys’ for agricul­ tural papers, won't you try to explain that white markings, tongue and switch are not signs of Impurity? Farmers need this drummed-, into them.” * It is a fact well known among Jersey breeders that our farmer friends’ who are not skilled in our craft and who are acquainted with the-more material history of tbe Jeraeys regard any de­ parture from the grays, fawns, lem­ ons/ etc., of solid-dolors as of impure breeding. But we can scarcely blame these Innocent laymen, however an­ noying It may be to have them come Into our tyrns and call attention to some of our most valuable cows and say, "These spotted ones are not regis­ tered, are they?" We can’t blame them, for they have merely made some logical observation of tbe fool ideas and fads many.prominent breeders of Jerseys, have brought into‘the fore­ ground of the business of breeding. They may have seen us turn down a fine animal because she ticked her meal with a white tongue or chased the flies off her, back with a tail hav­ ing a white or mixed switch. They may never have heard of some of tho early Jersey queens that had as. much white on them as have the Guernseys' and that in breeding away the spots many things of vastly more impor­ tance than color of hair were In many cases bred away also. A)me of these same people may have been at the great Cooper sale last May and seen certainly tbe best working, in­ dividuals in that great collection of magnificent animals sell for a song compared to the prices of some of the dainty peta of pedigrees. I refer espe­ cially to the great "black” cows that 1 am sur£ would eat and turn to profit­ able use more of our cheap American foods in. one day than many of their sensational companions could use in two. 1 -Bo, if we regulation breeders have not .the courage of our convic­ tions and knowledge, how can we ex­ pect our plain farmer friends to be wiser than our folly? They think, as they know we are all eminently sensi­ ble people, that whereas wV discount tho off colors and shades there must be some business reason for it and con­ clude naturally that the spots come from manifest taints of blood and that a ’white tongue may hare a virulent prepotency that qhail contaminate a race.—W. F. McSparran in Stockman and Farmer. The internal revenue department has seized a carload of cotton seed oil made by the Louisville Cotton Oil company for Moxley & Co., oleo manufacturers in Chicago, claiming that this oil bus been artificially colored for Moxley's use in making butterine, thus evading the color tax oleo law. If the charge is correct, Moxley has been able by this subterfuge to sell colored oleo anl escape the government tax of 10 cents per pound Imposed on colored imitation butter.—Breeder’s Gazette. “I presume,’’ said the city boarder, •that you get your buttermilk from that sour looking old cow with tbe crumpled horn and the vicious cast in her eyes?*’ "Oh," interrupted the charming young lady from the efty before the milkmaidecould frame a reply, “I thought they got tbe butter­ milk from the go a fl” Warm bran mashes and warm water to drink the first twenty-four hours after calving will often save a cow from trouble and'start her safely on her period of usefulness. finned that a distinct breed of dairy cows would be the most profitable on Kansas farms.** What is tbe matter with Kansas? asks Hoard’s Dairyman. Are her feeds, her rlimate, her farmers, so terribly lacking that tbe same profit that a special dairy cow brings in Wis­ consin or Ohio cannot be bad there? Some of the good dairy herds of Kan­ sas .ought to send Brother Jepsen some figures. The real dairy cow seems to be In his mind a matter of locality, and still all over the Union she is doing the most profitable work, and a Jot of dual purpose men don't know It. She is not adapted to Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois, etc., so they say. We suppose poor returns at the rrearpe-ry and at least 20 to 80 per cent leas net profit per cow year after year are especially adapted to the farmers of those states. Great argument that I have been breeding Ayrshires since 1873, says C. M. Winslow of Vermont In Rural New Yorker. I began by buy­ ing the best I copld And, always breed­ ing from tbe beat top crosses I could obtain to carry out my formulated plan. I have made a great many'mlatakes and failures, but the average of my stock is, I ttflnk, steadily Improving, and now and then I get a decided im­ provement on the beet I could buy to start with. I have always been on tho lookout to find better female stock toimprove my herd and have bought a good many and found they were no better than mine when placed side by side and have disposed of them and worked away at my original stock. My cows are well cared for, being fed reg­ ularly, and fairly well, though not forced. Being kept for a breeding herd, they are fed that ration which will pro­ duce tbe strongest constitution and the most robust health. This fine Jersey cow.

Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, California and perhaps some other states have much better equipped dairy schools than has Pennsylvania, saya Stockman and Farmer. Tbe authorities of tbe Pennsylranla State college are in nowise to blame for this. It can only be at­ tributed to the indifference of the dai­ rymen of the state. The creamery operators of Pennsyl­ vania are paying the farmers more for their milk than the operators of New York pay, yet sell their butter at do higher price. It does not follow, how­ ever, that the farmers of Pennsylva­ nia are receiving too much for their milk, but that they are failing to Ap­ preciate the advantages -which they are enjoying.

Where did pint very common word ‘‘fudge’’ come from, and what does It realty mean? Tbe appearance of the word In literature is In tbe description of the call of Lady Blarney and Miss Carolina Wilhelmina Amelia Skeggs on tbe vicar of Wakefield's household: "But previously I should have mention­ ed the very impolite behavior of Mr. Burchell, who, during his discourse, sat with his face turned to the fire and at the conclusion of every sentence would, cry out ‘Fudge!’ an expression which displeased us ail and In some measure dampened the rising spirit of the con­ versation." Does the word come from the provincial French "fucLe" or the low German "fut-ch?” Or shall we trace It to the story of 1700 quoted by the eider Disraeli.

By softening shellac with heat it may be drawn out and twisted Into al­ most white sticks and of a fine silky luster. Extreme beauty is given to Chinese works of art by the use of shellac. Some of them are vei? ancient and of great value. They are chiefly chowchow boxes, tea basins or other small objects made of wood or metal.

The plant has been practically idle for about a year, but Monday when representative of the Herald made a call upon Mr. Bowling he and several workmen were found busy clicking up and getting the machinery in good working order. When asked by the Herald if be were going tocontinuetue manufacture . of drees stays, Mr. Bowling said “Yes, crrtainly,” and then he went on to tell us that stays all over the country had bad a rocky road to travel for several yean, but there was still a demand for them. The demand was not sufflcient. however, to warrant the manufacture of that article alone. He also informed us that the Bowling whalebone would also be manufactured, and that be was going th add the manulactnre-of garments for children between three and twelve years of age, Iq/Ti^c’ fin* handkerchief*, dress shields, etc. . Mr. Bowling said be did not want to make any further statements at the present time as to what would be done, he preferred to let the demand regulate tbe number of hands employed, but he spoke with confidence of the success of his undertaking, and the Herald hopes the enterprise will be a fortunate one for our city.

Secured More Than a Thousand Dollars in Cash and Stamps and Escaped. Friday night or Saturday morning one of the most successful poetoffice “ robberies attempted for some time in western Michigan was carried out with complete success at Middleville, the burglars getting away with about 960 in cash and between 11,200 and 91,300 in postage stamps. The robbery was not known until about 7:00 o’clock Sat­ urday morning when the postoffice was opened. _ • The postoffice is located just across the Michigan Central tracks from the Warren Featherbone factory and di­ agonally across from -French’s grist mill. A watchman b employed at the Featherbone factory and two at French's mill, but none of them heard a sound. Entrance to the building was gained by breaking a small bole in the window glass and pulling the stop and raising the window; then the shutters which were fastened with a bolt at the top and bottom were Dried off. A punch and hammer was used to lo­ cate the lock to the safe, after which a half or live-eighth inch drill was used and a hole made in the safe. This was filled with nitroglycerine and dyna­ mite and the lock blown off, after which the robbers got Into the cash and stamp boxes without any trouble. The inside of the safe was gotten into by the use of a jimmy and chisel. The officers in thb city were notified and as soon as possible Sheriff Cortright and Prosecutor Walker were up­ on the scene and commenced and in­ vestigation. In company with Deputy Sheriff Andrus they discovered that the burglars bad stolen a horse and buggy from Frank Pratt’s barn and gone south. A posse followed and when about six miles out the horse was found on its way home. They went about six or eight miles further and found where the rig bad turned around in the road end they also found where two men had started towards Shelby­ ville. They evidently took the G. R. & I. train at this station and made good their escape before the deed was dis­ covered. In the morning after the robbery the postoffice employes swept up a spool box full of red powder which was said to have been giant powder but upon investigation it was found to be plain red pepper. So far as the officers here are concerned they believe the robbery was committed by professionals instead of amateurs. The red pepper was used so that if any attempt were made to trace them it could not be done as this would not give dogs any scent to follow. Then again at Pratt’s barn horse blankets were placed upon the floor so the buggy and horse could be removed noiselessly. In the postoffice this red pepper was placed all over the floor and between the dozen or fifteen mall pouches which were placed upon the safe to deaden the sound. The tools used were stolen from Bris­ tow's blacksmith shop. The loss would have been much greater but for the fact that Postmas­ ter Johnson had remitted nearly all the money en hand to the department at Washington for the quarter ending April 30, keeping only enough on hand to pay money orders. The robbery is Supposed to have been committed between 1:00 and 2:00 o'clock as residents heard a rig going out of town about Ihat time. *1.00 A Permit for a Dam, The Tbornapple Electric company ^as filed with County Clerk Smith a petition addressed to the board of super­ visors. Permission is requested to build a dam on Thornapple river in' section 16, Cascade township, about twenty rods west of the bridge in that section. The height of the dam above water level is to be twenty-two feet. It is to bo constructed of atone, earth, cement, steel and lumber and will have a spillway about the width of the natural channel., The petition is made for the company by Wesley W. Hyde. TLere is a question whether this pe­ tition can be brought up and properly considered by the board at its next aesaion. as the company desires. The May session is regarded by law as a 8)>ecial session and Lt U required by law that any measure which is to be brought up before the board shall be mentioned In the call. This obstacle is not seriously regarded by the company, which is in­ clined to the belief that the board will consider its application anyway' The company takes this step as a precaution­ ary measure, being inclined to the opinion that because the river Is not navigable the consent of the board is not absolutely essential to the carrying out of its project. The purpose of constructing the dam in this place, which is about ten miles from the city, is to secure power for a current which wiH be brought to Grand Rapids. The company has already ap­ plied to the common council for a fran­ chise.- Grand I^apids Press. Michigan Central Excursions.

He has a right to his opinion, but when he places childless­ ness in the same category with- criminal acts he goes too far.

Then the cattle owners be­ gan bidding against each other for the choicest corners of the range, and the aborigine calmly lit a fresh pipe and said that he thought that he must real­ ly charge S3 for each steer. This was willingly paid, and the red man opened his eyes and began to give the matter a litjde serious thought, which resulted in the quiet announcement a few days age that tbe range interested had been pooled ahd that the price would ,bereafter be $5 a steer for pastqrage. The cattle raisers were fairly caught, and many will pay th# advanced price, as they have no time to make other graz­ ing, arrangements.

Is the Popular Will To Be Ignored? <*hw property. It may be assumed that the Mate tax sire to be just to these corporations. No doubt they believed that other property wm assessed too low, although they themselves exercise jurisdiction over the valuation of general property and are therefore themselves responsible for IL But they reasoned that it would be better to treat the railroads fairly in the matter than to give them cause to complain of injustice, and tehee added to the valuation of general property what they thought ought to be added. Byt in taking this arbitrary course it is clear even to the unprofessional mind that they were transcending their legal powers and tbe decision of the supreme court against them was inevitable. The result will be that the commission will have to meet as an assessing board, and fix the rate for railroad property on the basis afforded by the other assess­ ing boards. This will materially in­ crease tbe taxation of the corporations concerned and as President Freemau says, cause the railroads “to put up-the fight of their lives” to break down the present law. Mr. Freeman admits that in trying to act equitably the tax commiseioners have been led into illegal conditions but intimates that there is danger in trying to take too much of losing all. At any rate the decision of the su­ preme court will strengthen tbe purpose of tbe railroads to fight out their case in the federal courts and postpone for some time the colie Jtion of the 11,300,000 extra taxation which the tax commis­ sion imposed upon these corporations the current year. As this money would have gone into the primary school fund, it will be seen that the educational in­ terests of the people are the sufferers from all this litigation. . ;.

Tbe more unMlflsh, charitable aud exalted the life and mission of the in­ dividual, the larger will be the number of instances of Ingratitude that must be met and vanquished. Tbe thirty years of Christ's life was a tragedy of Ingratitudes. Ingratitude is manifest in three degrees of intensity in the world—be knew them all in number­ less bitter instances. The first phase, the simplest and most common, is that of thoughtless thanklessnese, as whs shown in the Case of the ten lepers healed in one day. Nine departed without a word; only one gave thanks. The second phase of ingratitude to denial, a posltiveain, not the,mere ne­ gation Of thanklessness. This was ex­ emplified m Peter, who, in hto selfish desire to stand well with two maids and some bystanders In the hour when he bad the opportunity to be loyal to Ohrtot, forgot hto friendship, lost all thought of .Ills Indebtedness to bis Master and denied him, not once or twice, but three times. The third phase of Ingratitude is treachery, where selfishness grows vin­ dictive, as shown by Judas, the hon­ ored treasurer of the little band of thirteen, whoso jealousy, ingratitude and thirty pieces of silver made possi­ ble the tragedy of Calvary. These three—thanklessness, denial and treachery—run the gamut of in­ gratitude, and the first leads to the second, and the seconl prepares the way for the third. We must ever tower high above de­ pendence on human gratitude, or we can do nothing really great, nothing truly noble. The expectation of grat­ itude is the alloy of an otherwise vir­ tuous act It ever dulls the edge of even our best actions. Most persons look at gratitude as a protective tariff on virtues. The man who to weakened in well doing by the ingratitude of oth­ ers is serving God on a salary basis. He is a hired soldier, not a volunteer. He should be honest enough to see that he to working for a reward. Like a child, he is being good for a bonus. He to really regarding hto kindness as moral stock he is willing to bold only ao long ns it pays dividends. There to In such living always a touch of the pose; it to waiting for the ap­ plause of the gallery.

World’s Dispensary Medical Association, Prop’s, Buffalo, N. Y. *■. THE REASON.-—There is uo medicine equal-to Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery, for the purifying of the blood. It carries off the poisens which contaminate the life Raid. It increases the activity of the blood-making glands * and gives the body an increased supply of pure, body-build• ing blood. It builds up the body with sound, healthy flesh instead of flabby fatf-promotes the appetite, feed* the nerves, and so gives to weak nervous people vitality and vigor. Many people wonder how a medicine that can cure indiges­ tion can also cure blood diseases. The reason is that pimples, sores and all skin diseases are the direct result of impure blood. If we,can find some way to purify lhe blood and eradicate the poisons—we can cure the disorder which shows on the skin. The R Discovery " helps the assimilation of food In the stomach—thus the blood takes up from the stomach what it requires to make good rich blood, thereby increasing the red blood-corpuscles. At the same time the liver is forced into activity and the poisons in tbe body are thrown out. "I am nleaaed to tell you that three bottles of Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery has cured my btubatid of liver corn­ plaint and indigestion,*’ writes Mrs. G. Hall, of Novar, Ontario. "He Buffered for a long time with pain tn hi* right aide and had to leave off work several time*. Tned three doctors here but they . did not do any good; also tried several kind* of patent medicine* but received no benefit Then I wrote to you and you advised us to try your ‘ Golden Medical Discovery. ’ We got a bottle at one? and before my husband bad taken all of this one bottle he was -feeling ever so much better and able to work again. He con■ tinned with the ‘ Discovery, ’ until he bad taken three bottlee and . . i* now feeling better than for years. We both thank you, and, if you think by publishing this that it will benefit other sufferers, you are at liberty to do *0. We have got several friends to try your ‘.Golden Medical Discovery ’ for different complaint* and I am pleased to say that it has never failed. We wish you every success." ■This is to certify that I have used Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and think it’s the grandest medicine in the world," write* Mrs. V. M. Young, of Weir, W. Va. "I took down sick in January last (six months age) and called in our physician and be gave me medicine hut I grew worse. He said I had dyspepsia in its wotrt form. I decided to try your medicine and began to im­ prove. I used five bottles, two qf the * Golden Medical Discov­ ery' and three of ’ Favorite Prescription,’ and now am doing my own house work. A number of my lady friends also are using Dr. Pierce’s medicine and they recommend it highly. MayzGoa bless and prosper you in your grand work." "I take pleasure in recommending Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery as a blood purifier," writes L- J. Smithwick, Esq., Accountant, of Norfolk, Va. "For years I was a sufferer from a very obstinate form of skin disease, commonly known as tetter, which, being confined tb tbe palms of my hands and fingers, wa* very annoying. In cold weather the skin would become hard and dry and would break or crack, which was very painful. ■I.wrote to Dr. Pierce stating the case and requesting his advice. He advised me to try his ‘Golden Medical Discovery’ to purify the blood after which be thought the skin trouble would all dis­ appear, and I am grateful to say that after the fourth bottle there was no sign of the disease left. I think Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med­ ical Discovery a wonderful blood purifier and most heartily recommend it to all who may be suffering from any form of skin disease.” To gain knowledge of your own body—in sickness and health—send for the People's Common Sense Med­ ical Adviser.

E fc, HERALD “WANTS.” No advertise- I its Hardbeartedness and Jealousy are Herein Fearlessly Exposed. Our contemporary tbe Banner prob­ ably not having much material for copy in these quiet, uneventful days, hit up­ on a happy theme last week. Why not stir up a little local politics? There was nothing doing in national politics; for some occult reason there is nothing which the Banner can say on the burningquestlon of primary reform; and so what more natural than to turn to local politics, cast a critical and scrutinizing eye over the dpings of tbe democratic mayor and the democratic council, find some dreadful deed that these gentle­ men have committed, and publish it broadcast before an astonished nod out­ raged world. ’ This Is just what the Banner did. It looked over tbe appointments of Mayor Hams until its eagle eye fell upon the ominous name of William F. Hicks. It was unnecessary to go any further. Hare was inspiration and suggestion enough to fill nearly two columns, with How Is This, Mr Cook? a triple heading. Forthwith the mas­ sive thought-works of our contemporary Tbe following Item appeared in the were set in motion.

Why, simply this: Mr. Hicks tention last summer in the Barry county convention because of bls stand against happens to hold several local offices at boodie methods, brings up Km inter­ the name time. He Is one of that some­ esting politics. It is recalled that of what rare class of citizens who is not late the Hastings man has been very only well qualified to discharge certain quiet about primary reform and has tak­ en no hand in tbe fight.

The Banner charges him with olutions. Just whether Mr. Cook has had a bolding six different offices. He is ‘‘one change of heart is not known, butlit Is of th® board of canvassers. ” The board said that he has political ambitions and of superv isors appointed him and no one there are reasons to believe that he has made an alliance with Phil Colgrove, can say that he is not an efficient mem­ also of Hastings, and an anti-reformer. ber.

Further, “Wm. F. Hicks is president of the council, and in Mayor Hirns' absence, will be may­ or.” This is Indeed a serious offence. >er aettlagof 15. Eo.

Is it* so selfish and office hungry as to be jealous of one lone democrat who happens to be a fa­ vorite of his fellow citizens? If, with­ in the Michigan desert of republican­ ism the city of Hastings presents a bright oasis of happy, triumphant de­ mocracy, can not the Banner refrain from disturbing that harmony with its unfeeling wit and Its withering sar­ casm? Does It Imagine that the success with which it introduced discord Into the ranks of Barry county republican­ ism will warrant it in'trying the same game on the democracy of this city? We demand that It honestly answer these heart-searching questions or Iforever hereafter hold its peace andl let Bill Hicks alone. Again'Mr. Hicks is “chairman of the street committee” and also street com­ missioner, “by virtue of the appoint­ ment of Mayor Hams.” This is, in the eye* of the Banner, the moot unkindly cutof alL To be a member of tbe board of canvassers might have been excused; to be an alderman might have been en­ dured; but to be chairman of the street committee and at the same time street commissioner is too. much. Our per­ turbed contemporary goes into connip­ tions over the dread possibilities of the situation, harrowing up its soul with tbe thought of wbat might happen if Street Commissioner Hicks and Aider­ man Hicks should happen to enter into a horrid conspiracy to run the city into inextricable debt. Vfe are onl^ too thankful that the Banner did not sug­ gest by iu base insinuations that the Our state secretary^ Miss Caroline Parsonr, of Kalamazoo sends greetings and urges Barry county to send a good delegation to the twenty-first interna­ tional convention of the society of Christian Endeavor at Denver July 9-13,1903.

IRepresents_ live Gaines, whois In Washington, gave an explanation of tbe situation to your j correspopdent. Mr. Gaines said there was no denying that the southern peo­ ple objected to colored mail carriers be­ cause they were colored, but that the objection rose from fear. In tbe rural districts the heads of the family and all grown males were obliged to go out In­ to the fields to work and leave the wom­ en at home defenseless. Because of the nameless crimes of the negroes they could not but regard with apprehension the prospect of negro mail carriers com­ ing to their homes in their absence, es­ pecially since the policy of the present administration bad stirred up the bit­ terest animosity between the races and Mr. Roosevelt’sattitude had encouraged many negroes to cherish hopes of social equalit^and miscegenation. Mr. Gaines said the southern people were taxing themselves to the utmost-limit to edu­ cate the negro but their work was be­ ing nullified by people who, for partisan reasons, misrepresented the facts while they were utterly ignorant of thetrue conditions, The only hope which Crum can enter­ tain of receiving pay for the time he has Mirved Is through a special act of con­ gress which is regarded as most remote.

Call 167. I MARPLE 8 VESTER With deepest feelings of regret, the bar of Barry county records tbe death of the Hon. James B. Mills, late an honorable and respected member of this bar; Born In Washington county, Nd., Feb, 8th, 1830, and dying at Hastings, Mich., on Friday, April 24, 1903, Ms life covered a period of time filled with stirring events and wonderful progress in both the political and industrial life of the nation. Married in 1859 to Louisa M. Smith, be became the father of five children, two sons and three daughters, all of whom he reared to mandood and womanhood, and all of whom survive him. Admitted to the bar of this county on February 5th, 1883, he exemplified in the practice of his profession, honesty of purpose, fidelity to bis clients' in­ terests, and an uprighteduess of char­ acter, that enabled him to win and re­ tain the respect and esteem of all who knew him. Holding the office of justice of'the pence for many years, ne used his in­ fluence that cases might be compro­ mised and settled, rather than litifated. Ill feeling was assuaged, riends and neighbors continued as such, the peace and good order of his neighborhood increased thereby. Elected judge of probate in 18% and re-elected in 1900, he proved himself a competent, painstaking and honest public official. As a husband, father, citizen and public official, he represented a type of American manhood and z\merican cit­ izenship well worthy of emulation. Therefore be it resolved: That in the death of the Hon. James B. Mills, the Barry County Bar has lost an hon-, est, upright and esteemed member, and the people of this county a most worthy citizen, and a fearless Impartial and upright public servant. Be it further resolved: That the heartfelt sympathy of this bar be ex­ tended to the family of tbe deceased and that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the widow of the deceased, and leave of tbe court be bad, that they may be spread upon the journal at length as a memorial to perpetuate his memory. • Thomas Sullivan, Hartley E. Hendrick, Edwin D. Mallory. 4®-*'^* firet Place» let 08 W tbat American college life and work as now carried on, are of themselves a better training for journalism in the technical, sense than they are for any other call­ ing, except teaching. This is in part because the work of journalism is at many pointe so closely related to the work of education; and also because the best college work nowadays is in such close sympathy and touch with the best social, ethical and economic progress of the community at large, such progress being the material with which-journal­ ism most concerns itself. Another reason is that the skillful and correct use of language, whether to state a fact or convey an idea, is of the very essence of good journalism; and our college work more and more recog­ nizes the importance of training all students in the art of direct and lucid expression. In college, one ought to acquire the habit of seeking the truth and liking it for Its own sake, in a disinterested way. One’s logical faculties ought to get good training, in order that fallacious rea­ soning may be easily analyzed and dis­ posed of. Scientific study should have as its great object the training of the powers of exact observation and accur­ ate analysis.- From “Journalism,” by Albert. Shaw, Ph. D., in the June Cos­ mopolitan. THE LARGER HOPE Name of a Sect Organized at Battle Creek Fifteen years ago Charlee I. Clapp of Battle Creek, who preaches quite regu­ larly in /Assyria, was a society young man. AU at once, greatly to the sur­ prise of his young friends, he began to study the bible, became converted, and studied for the ministry, expecting to enter the Methodist church. After years of study of the bible he advanced the doctrine that there was no eternal punishment, but that in time God would save all men. He accepted the orthodox faith with this exception, and began to preach his new doctrine. Ho now has a large following, preaching in 'various school bouses in Calhoun and adjoining counties. He is now erect­ ing a church building near the Grand Trunk shops in Battle £"reek and in the midst of the largest manufacturing district. It is a two-story block with a store in a corner room, the other room to be a commodious lecture ball for the bolding of religious meetings. He has his family residence in the second story. He does pot believe in begging money for religious work, but expect* that the rent of the store room will sup­ port his church work. He is getting a surprisingly large following. He has christened his new faith “The Larger Hope. Opening of June Term of Court.

Th© Lawyers and Their Ladles En­ joy a Feast at Emmanuel Par­ ish Monday Night It is. nut wise for men to neglect the social side of life entirely and to spend tbeir whole time and energies in professional or business pursuits. This is a truism which the lawyers of Barry county found out several years ago and since that discovery they have held an annual banquet. Monday night the sixth function of this kind was held in the parish house of Emmanuel church and when it is added that the gastro­ nomic part of the affair was in charge of the ladies of the parish it is unneces­ sary to state that this feature of the oc­ casion was an unqualified success. Just as the hour set for the ban­ quet approached a very severe electric storm came up, interfering somewhat with the attendance. And yet the rain failed to keep many away, there being a goodly number present in spite of it. Besides the legal gentlemen of this city, the county officials and the editors of the local papers, together with their better halves, there were lawyers present from Middleville, Nashville, Woodland and Lansing. When at the word of Toastmaster Smith the company marched into the dining hall, to the music of the or­ chestra, they found a handsome and well appointed banquet table prepared for them. The table which ran the whole length of the.room, was hand­ somely set and adorned with flowers while numerous candelabra furnished the light which the electric plant failed to do. After the dainty and well served sup­ per had been thoroughly discussed Judge Smith took charge of the oratori­ cal part of the program which, as a matter of course among lawyers, fol­ lowed. At the outset Judge Smith spoke feelingly of the late Judge Mills, after which be read a letter from Philip T. Colgrove, who had been obliged to start for New York that morning on business. He then introduced the Hon. Russell O. Ostrander of Lansing, who responded to the theme, “Legal Educa­ tion and Admission to the Bar.” Mr. Ostrander is a member of the board appointed to examine candidates for admission to the bar and was therefore peculiarly qualified to handle this topic in an interesting nanner, especially from the professional standpoint. He' reviewed the history of legal training and requirements, from the establish­ ment of Temple Bar and Lincoln’s Inn courts in London down to the present time. Coming down to our own country and the present policy in this state Mr. Ostrander said that the more rigid requirements of admission to the bar today were raising the standard of the legal profession. He said that the character of the applicants was looked into as well as the other legal attainments and he favored the train­ ing to be obtained in the best colleges and law schools as being generally bet­ ter than that acquired ip law offices. Aaron Clark of Middleville was the second speaker, his topic being the broad one of “Something.” Mr. Clark is always at home as an after dinner speaker and, as was to be expected, proved equal to his subject and the oc­ casion. In his pleasant manner he dwelt upon the thought that law is su­ preme in every department of life. In the absence of Wm. F. McKnight of Grand Rapids, Thomas Sullivan of this city, always ready to respond to the emergency of the hour, very ac­ ceptably filled up the breach. His themb was “This, That and the Other,” and it afforded the speaker the chance to make a witty and entertaining repl». The Imi toast to be announced was “The Supreme Court of the State,” and thia was moat fittingly aeslfcned to an honored member of that court, Justice Wm. Ij. Carpenter. Judge Carpenter paid a high tribute to his predecessors upon the supreme bench of the state, the men who by tbeir learning and ability and by their clearly expressed and convincing opinions gave to the supreme court of Michigan a very high reputation, the four first justices, Campbell, Cooley, Christianey and In My ria Kelly, MoClure,s has found another writer about children to main* tain the high prestige the magazine baa always held In this field. The youngsters Miss Kelley writes about perform in a certain primary room of a New' York East school, and, naturally, most of them are Jewish. It is a fear* ful and wonderful jargem that they speak, and the author reproduces it with a faculty and reliyh that vouch for its authenticity. “A Little Matter of Real Estate,” is the title of Miss Kelly’s story In the June number, re­ counting the bitter feud between Eva and Sarah Gonorowsky, cousin*, over a Greece. This concluded the formalitlie of the quarrsl of their fathers about a loan. It la the best story of it* kind McClure evening.

It is announced that forty-six Ger­ man agriculturists are coming to this country to study American meth­ ods of farming and stock raising. They propose to stay two months and to travel 10.000 miles over tbe country in pursuance of their studies. They will doubtless see much that will be of in­ terest and profit to them. They will find some-essential differences between the farms of the fatherland and those of this country, particularly in point of acreage and implements. Farms are larger in this country, and machinery can be used with better advantage than in Europe. Taxes are lighter, transportation rates for long distances are probably lower and the business la carried on In a more ex- ■ tensive way. There is nothing Ln Ger , many to compare with tbe great wheat regions and stock farms to be found in this countryIt is gratifying to have our foreign competitors come here and learn for themselves the sources of our superior­ ity. They feel American competition, and they want to see the basis of it Probably some of the Germans will go back home and decry our methods, but that will not hurt our feelings any. The competition, however, will go on. and hundreds of thousands of Germans will continue to abandon the small and worn out farms Ln the fatherland, which few tiljers of the soil can ever hope to own, for the broader and more productive acres in America of which they can by thrift and economy ac­ quire full and complete ownership. The delegation of investigators will be cordially welcomed and given every advantage to see aud learn our meth­ ods. What they may say about us upon their return will be quite immaterlaL The National Association of Manu­ facturers, In session at New Orleans, adopted a resolution recognizing the right of laboring men to organize, but denying their right to take concerted action on the question of wages and other conditions of labor. This wonld appear to be something like the atti­ tude taken by the good woman wbc did not object to her daughter going in to swim and advised her to hang her Clothes on a hickory Limb, bu^nsisted that she most not go near the water. When the New York farmers pause to consider what a slight proportion of their products is to be found in a Haines ■law sandwich, the proposed boycott of the metropolitan saloon keepers upon “up state” products will not be found particularly alarming. A Marlboro (Conn.) man won a prize of 850 by sawing seventeen cords of hard wood in five hours.

POSTOFFICE ROBBERS AGAIN Postoffice robberies have been fash­ ionable lately and the local poetoffice came very near being up-to-date last Saturday morning. The attempts to get into the safe, which contained about 81500 in money and stamps, was frustrat­ ed, as the robbers were frightened away, no one seeming to know by whom or how. The robbers undoubtedly came into the city from the south about 11 o’clock Friday night as some parties going home from an entertainment at the Star school house passed a rig containing three persons and some of them thought the horse looked like one owned by Harry Johnson, who lives at Whiskey Run, seven miles sout h of here. One of Mr. Johnson’s horses and a buggy were stolen, with which the robbers drove in­ to town. After making an attempt co get into the safe at the postoffice, they stole one of Wm. Hitchcock's horses and left Johnson’s horse at Robert RU ven’s place near the southern limits of the city. Bliven is an uncle of Johnson but the robbers probably didn’t know it. Mr. Hitchcock, who delivers express and also carries mail from the C., K. A S. depot, is an early riser. Saturday morning he was out before 4:00 o’clock and discovered the loss of his horse. Sheriff Cortright was notified and im­ mediately he and Deputy Lichty were out looking for the animal and before 5:00 o’clock discovered that the horse had been hitched to a buggy and driven south and Johnson's horse was tied at Bl i ven’s. Not until the postoffice employees went to work was it known by the of­ ficers that an attempt baa been make to rob the office, when it was learned that the w^uld-be robbers had gained admit­ tance through a rear window, and with tools stolen from James Radford’s black­ smith shop had knocked off the handle of the safe and soaped the cracks pre­ paratory to putting in a charge of nitro­ glycerine. Then they were apparently frightened away, as nothing was taken except the broken handle. At about noon Saturday it was learned that Hitchcock's horse had been found in the outskirts of Battle Creek and about midnight Deputy Lichty returned with the animal. Chief Farrington of Battle Creek offered all the assistance possible to our officers and four parties were arrested on suspicion, but on being able to prove that they were in Battle Creek all night, were discharged. We understand that George Edwardte who drove in from Battle Creek says he passed a rig between 1:00 and 2:00 o’clock that he believes was the one the robbers had stolen but he could not give a description of the fellows sufficient for officers to work on. Monday the safe handle, bar of soap and some tools were found in a box in the rear of Archie McCoy’s store. Sunday Trains.

Many new bouses are being built and real estate bu taken on a hopeful and promising conditlon. More than all this, there is a reasonable ohance of securing a new state institution that would be of enor; nious valpe to this city, if it were locat­ ed here. I In view of these facts tbe Herald ■, ’Exceedingly regrets to see an element . of discord Injected into the situation. | There seems to be a spirit of personal / bitterness, even of vengefulnes8, in the L attitude of the gentlemen who own the *7 • factories whose assessments have been raised, that is deplorable. They have :a grievance against tbe board of re­ view, because the assessment on tbeir properties has been raised a few thous/ and dollars beyond what they think it j'■ ought to be. And yet the five men / who make up the board of review have r undoubtedly, acted deliberate^ in : good faith, and conscientiously. They were sworn to do their duty faithfully and according to their best judgment, it is, unjust and preposterous to / 'tbtek that they have not kept their they have erred at all. and ; we ars not prepared say that they ; . have, their error bay been one of judgj. • meat, and we believe, in no wise actu,<«ed by prejudice or spite. To think or to claim otherwise would be unjust and unreasonable. Tbe question therefore resolves itself into a difference of judgment. The owners of tbe wool boot, table and car >. • seal factories placed a certain figure upon their properties which they were r/ . willing to accept. The board of re­ view, acting upon their judgment as : . they .were in duty bound to do. raised H these figures by a comparatively small amount. ;y . If these are the facts as we believe g them to be, is it worth while to enter . Upon a policy of “getting even” with K- < the boarebsand of obstructing tbe '. common welfarXof the city? Will it pay indulge in suthapite work? Will :5_- anybody be tbe gainer by it? On the ■ contrary will not everybody be the ; • loser by such a course? *' Tbe Herald asks these questions, not in criticism so much as to call at­ ’ tention to the shortsightedness of ।y adopting a policy of retaliation. The h*'*': gentlemen who own t|ie properties in question, very likely have it within tbeir power to work serious injury to the interests of this city, but until comspelled to change Its opinion, the Her“'v-'ALD will not believe them capable of ,such a revengeful policy. Mr. Chamberlain’s Proposition. Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain has injected a new issue into Eoglish politics by bls proposal to establish i a preferential tariff system with the colonies of the empire. Not that the idea is entirely new among English , statesmen, but that none of them has | had the temerity or the opportunity to fjmih'ihe principle into prominence. , But Mr. Chamberlain is a man of strenui ous methods and he has announced that he will inaugurate a campaign upon : this issue and stand or fall upon the re­ sult. _ ■’ • Mr. Chamberlain proposes to place a L ^preferential duty upon imports of food products, favoring of course British ^ colonies. He seems to think that such ’.a policy will afford protection to the K colonies and to English producers and • at the same time furnish revenues* for i the national treasury. His proposition S involves a radical departure from the policy which England has followed for a . Century and to which most English *men ascribe the commercial and icial supremacy of their country, y members ■ of the conservative y and of the present ministry will agree with the colonial secretary’s B and it Is likely that this almost Intiooary proposition of his will j tbe union party and result in its ' i R.

Reckless expenditure of the public funds seems to be characteristic of tbe department generally and the revela­ tions thus far made show the necessity for prosecuting the inquiries that have been set on foot until the whole depart­ ment has been purged of scandal and gross abuses, And yet it may not be expected that any cleansing of these augean stables will be thorough and lasting without placing the bureau entirely under civil service rules, eliminating politics from all appointments in the service. As long as the positions in the department are the prey of the politicians, and are meted out for partisan purposes, as long as the Paynes and Machens are permitted to administer the affairs of this important bureau, we can not ex­ pect a lasting reform, or that the inter­ ests of the people will be served 'is they ought to be. We shall hardly see the business of any department of our government conducted on business principles until business principles are made to take the place of the old, ex­ pensive and scandal breeding “spoils system.” ADDITIONAL LOCAL Wm.

Barnes’ wife attributed his death to some medicine given him in a drug 'store last night and Dr. F, C. Warnshuls who was In constant attendance at the bedside of the unconscious man from 7:30 this morning is of the belief that morphine or some other narcotic was absorbed by the stomach. Barnes was employed by one? of the transfer companies as a moving van driver. His wife worked in a down­ town restaurant and they roomed in the Hermitage annex. Barnes ate some canned baked beans last evening soon after his wife returned from ber work, and also ate a lunch which she brought. Less than an hour later he complained of cramps and suffering agony, his wife says he went to the drug store. What medicine was given Barnes hr took In the store and he told his wife upon his return to the room that the clerk had cautioned him not to sleep. All night the wife worked to keep him awake and at 5:00 o’clock this morning he called for his sister. She was sent for and while Mrs. Barries left the building to meet her, Barnes sank into unconsciousness from which he could not be aroused. Patrolman Connor was summoned and be called Dr. Warnshuis and the ambulance., Bernes was taken to St. Mary's a>ccompanied by his wife and sister, where the stomach pump was used. It was found that the poison whatever It was had been totally ab­ sorbed and the physician resorted to hypodermic injections.

The Month of Graduation I ' .By the general custom which obtains ■ in the conduct of our educational systern, June is the month of graduation. All grades of schools, from lhe little •Vcountry school to the great university, [ hold commencement exercises and turn W out the finished product of their courses f ofittdy in June. It is the month when , ; an army of young people bid farewell to school Mfe*and turn their attention 4' from tbe lessons of the text-books to .. the problems of the world school which irtifey are about to enter. I It is this thought undoubtedly that invests graduation with a deep person­ al interest to many thousands of people and makes the month of June each year a time of happy activity and ■^friendly personal concern in the young ■ people who are about to receive tbe ^honors of graduation day. £ '! But aside from the persona) features 1 of lhe graduation season, there is f Another and more far reaching oonsequenco of the custom. It is the one ocH casion of the year which attracts * ' public attention to the subject of edu­ b-. cation. For eleven months of tbe year the public mind is so absorbed in other matters that it has no time nor inclina­ tion for the schools. But tbe ceremo> nies of graduation, tbe themes dis­ cussed, the close personal relations of \ the adult people to the boys and girls i'jHeoeiving the honors of tbe occasion, * all conspire to force an otherwise inl different or evep sordid public mind to *.Mtn to the consideration for a time of the noblest cause and the most vital In.-'jittltution of thestate—the public school. Woe td the day when the public mind and heart shall lose interest in the Aebools. And because the cer^oniesof the ..graduation time revive annually people’s interest in education the X month of June stands out pre-eminent­ ly as a beneficent time in the educa­ tional life of our country. Ar® the People Going to About It? •L iTbs inability of tbe legislature to ♦asa a primary eleetlon bill will no doubt be a disappointment to many people. If ever a legislative body waa ‘tamnd by tbe pledges of it* members aud the declarations of party platforms the present aggregation of law makers . wa* so obligated. Tbe people of Mich­ igan were a unit last tall upon that proposition. Tbe state conventions of both parties endorsed the principle of primary reform and re-1 terated it this tspring. The state grange demanded It, the press advocated it, the prom!-• nent men of all partlea agreed on the need ot this reform, and the meases stock it for granted that we should have -ibedeelred legislation : And yet the representatives of tbe> people hare spent five months in Lau-. gtag dllly dallying over the problem,, ■pnonatlnaaing for a long time tbe ooo-, sideraUcm of any primary bill whatever. ««d finally taking U up in a perfnnct-’ .tory OV and doing the measure to' death by a disagreement between tbe’ two houses.

Will this demonstration of contempt of the pop­ ular will leave the republican machine in Michigan as strong as ever? Or will the people at last open their eyes to the fact that they are being trifled with and made the tool of a ruling class of politicians who care less for their wishes than for the corrupt poli­ tical system which keeps them in power? Time will tell. 111 Wiola and Pigeon Shooting. There is a bill before the Illinois leg­ islature which should interest every humane person and every honorable sportsman in the Prairie State. It 1b entitled ‘‘an act to suppress pigeon shooting and similar sport” and is aimed particularly at tbe use of tame live birds in trap shooting. It ought not to be necessary in Illi­ nois or elsewhere to urge the passage Of such n commendable measure. Ev­ ery legislator should vote for it with­ out a moment's hesitation. There are, however, two Influences operating against such a law. It is naturally in the interest of powder and sporting goods makers to have ns much powder burned and as m4ny guns sold as pos­ sible; it is unfortunately in the Inter­ est of certain so called sportsmen to kill birds for fun because It ministers to their brutal instincts and offers on opportunity for a vf>ry ^heap sort of gambling. Aside from these It 1h hard ly conceivable that anybody could op­ pose tbe enactment of a law prohibit­ ing the ruthless and wholesale slaugh­ ter of birds. There is nothing In the nature of le­ gitimate sport about making targets of live birds, especially at trap shoot­ ing. The bird has not half a chance for Its life. The "sportsman” is ready, his gun cocked and pointed, his Anger on the trigger, his distance carefully marked. The bird, half dhzed. is lib­ erated. It flutters a few yards or feet into the air and Is then blown to pieces or maimed and permitted to suf-’ fer for hours. If not for days. This cruel, demoralizing and inde­ fensible sport has been prohibited by law in Massachusetts. New York and some other states, and Illinois should lose no time in placing itself In the humane column.

Il may be from lack of courage, but do that can not be. It 4tust be the fear of sudden death. But Sunday night after 7:00 o'clock a burglar entered Blakeney & Foster's barber shop by opening the west wjndow, tbe fastening evidently not being caught the night previous. Everything was strewn about upon the floor, and the room was in a dilapidated condition the next morning. The party who entered this shop in the nighttime was not an em­ ployee of any institution where great quantities of money are kept, for it is surmised that he was frightened away when his eyes came in contact with the vast quantity of ore always left in the shop over night—17 coppers.

We sell the paint for two-thirds of the cars and stations and bridges and everything else, that railroad men want to keep good looking and sound, all over the country. A man who wants a gallon or two of paint knows nothing about it; buys whatever is handy, or gets some paint­ er to “make” it. A railroad company asks Its chemist: “which Is the best?” The cheapest thing to preserve or beautify anything with is paint. So the whole world is painted; except, of course, the part of it owned by poor slow folks. And the paint they use is people’s in­ telligence meter: or Ignorance meter: tells how much or how little they know. Lead and oil has had its day. Devoe Ready Paint is the paint, because it wears twice as long. Yours truly, F. W. I5evoe tc Co. P. S. Devoe Paint is sold by Fred L. Heath. For Sate.

For many years money matters were settled on a morelS| this was the only route through the solid basin. On tbe afternoon of a summer's day, August 36, 1836, nearly 67 years ago, there might have been seen a covered wagon containing a stalwart man of 34 years, and five children between the ages of 11 and 2 years, driving through tbe then unbroken wilderness of Barry county, in the territory of Michigan. Accompanying this wagon, was a woman on horseback, carefully guiding her grey saddle-horse over the rough roads of the new county. She had In this way performed nearly the whole of the journey, then having started from Weatherafleld, Genesee county, New York, three weeks before, taking Can­ ada in their route, and expecting to set­ tle in Indiana. This party consisted of my father, William Lewis, and Mary Goodwin, his wife, three daughters and a son. Also an adopted daughter, Flavia Stone. We were at this time about to spend the night with an elder brother, Calvin Lewis, who came to Michigan a few weeks In advance of us, and settled at Yankee Springs, but the result was, that we settled there also. I was a child of four years at the time, so the words of my mother will best describe our com­ ing into Michigan: “After leaving De­ troit, the road was mostly through dense woods, Marshall, Battle Creek and Kalamazoo, being marked by little clusters of houses surrounded by forests. After leaving Kalamazoo, we passed through Gull Prairie, now Richland, am! met- Leonard Slater, located there on the Indian Reservation, as mission­ ary lo the Indians of the Pottawatamie tribe. Leaving this place we plunged into tbe wilderness and journeyed 18 miles farther through the woods wtrfiT-' out seeing a single habitation." Tired and travel-worn, weary and hungry, we halted at nightfall in a lovely valley in the wilderness where a log house was in the process of erection. Living springs of cleat cold water were gush­ ing from a bank, and ou a nearby poplar tree someone had fastened a shingle marked 'Yankee Springs." A welcome was given us by our rela­ tives, and the log cabin of two rooms was shared together. A quilt was hnng over tbe door space, and tbe windows were boarded. A supper was served and we settled down for the night. Dis­ mal tales liave come to me of those first nlghw in tbe forest, that the barking of wolves broke the stillness of ihe hours, and that tbe glittering eye-bulls of tbe panther looked down upon us with no friendly eye. Why we settled there, I do not know. Perhaps it was the pure springs of water that attracted us; perhaps it was to avoid the weariness of further journey­ ing. My father located 1000 acres of land there, and it soon grew to be an attrac­ tive place. We endured in common with all the early settlers the trials and privations of pioneer and frontier life, and lived to see tbe wilderness subdued, and surrounded by all that pertains to a later civilization. Io this thick for­ est, the land entirely unclaimed, we settled. The woods were filled with Indians, and our nearest white neigh­ bor, Calvin G. Hill, was eight miles dis­ tant from us, and from Middleville to Ada, the direct route to Grand Rapids, was a dense forest, an unbroken wilder­ ness, without an inhabitant. But we were not long alone. The fur trader woods from Battle Creek and Kalama^ and the speculator, were abroad in the zoo to Grand Rapids, and until other land, and co fill tbe increasing demands roads were opened up, it made very of the weary traveler, our little cottage lively times at the old house.

Many Are Out of Work, While Tbousands Seek Charity. Kansas City, Mo., June 15.—Tbe relief committee of Kansas City, Kas., has given out the following: “In connection with relief for the flood sufferers in Kansas City. Kas., it is very Important that the people of the United States should understand that there are two Kansas Citys— Kansas City In Missouri, with about 280,000 people, and Kansas City in Kansas, with over 60,000 people, ad­ joining the former city on the west, and separated from it by the state line; that each city has a separate organization for the reftef of its flood sufferers, and that in Kansas City, Kas., an area including 23X‘O people by the state census of March, 1903, has been swept by a rushing flood of from ten to thirty feet in depth, which has swept away over one-third of the houses in this district, has almost ruined another third, and that la the entire district the merchandise, house­ hold goods and clothing have been either washed away or almost totally ruined by a ten days* submersion and a deposit in all buildings of from two to four feet of mud. “With the falling of the water em­ ployment to a large number has been given, and the condition thereby much Improved. There remain, howe/er, many thousands dependent on char­ ity for shelter, food, clothing, and the most meager outfit of cooking utensils and furniture. These cannot be sup­ plied without outside aid, and unless it is furnished to a large amount the most dire suffering and widespread sickness and death must result No more worthy or urgent cause can be presented than that of the flood suf­ ferers of Kansas’City, Kas., and we appeal the generous people of the country to aid In supplying these preulDg needs of our strick*u people. Money and supplies should ,e sent to T. B, Gilbert, mayor of Kansas City, Danger at El Paso. El Paso, Tex., June 15.—The flood condition Is regarded as serious here by even the most conservative son*. The . river continues to rise. «nd the water is striking tbe levee with great force. AH available poHoemen have been placed on duty along the river, and the city engineer and street commissioner have been busy with a large number of workmen engaged in fortifying weak spots in the levee with sand bags. Below the city the river tore through *11 obstruction*, iod en­ ured its old channel which waj aban­ doned when the ent-off wa* built three years ago to strengthen the stream to guard against future overflow.

On general principles it may well be ^ doubted whether frequent tinkering with the fundamental law of tbe state ,1S in the least degree desirable. A conEvWdtution should be broad and general £ Id its provisions, laying down only such J wide principles and restrictions as will guide the several departments of govarnment and keep them within their in­ . tended limitations. Upon this fundumental instrument a superstructure of ’■ law and custom, resulting from experE*, ience and the decisions ot the courts is in the course of time built up. Itisinevitable therefore that much changing E of a constitution will result in confusion .nd the unsettling of established cusL- toms and precedents. L Nevertheless a judicious revision of ?,tbe constitution of 1850 is likely to prove ^•. beneficial to the state. Michigan has |>/'ina<le wonderful strides in population, ^.wealth and Culture since this constituI tlon was adopted. Conditions have so greatly changed since 1850 that certain • '.provisions of our basic law are no longer ' . adequate or applicable. Michigan has I’ ’ , become a state of large cities and pross; perous communities which ought to be I* allowed a much larger degree of self government than the present constituK . lion provides for. Then the matter of compensation to members of the legispQ lature, the regulation of the sessions, the obstructive and useless flfty-day L limit for the introduction of bills, and > various other matters would be fit subjecto for reformation. [ . X .• seems reasonable to believe, tbere' xore, that a conservative, judicious and I. - statesmanlike overhauling of tbe con­ '. aUtution by men of broad mind and spoc. W fitness for such a task would be a good thing for the state, and if such a !; treatment of tbe basic law can be assur' ed, we are inclined to support the prop_J mtlon. If on the other band the work .of revision is to be the signal for radi| ; cal changes and experimentation by s k body of ordinary politicians and vision**7 statesmen, it would be better to let ' tbe present constitution alone, in spite . of its imperfections, on the principle that “it is better to endure the ills we $' ’ have than to fly to others we know not R-4” _________ The Lot of Royalty. g.

The assassination ot the king of Ser& via .nd his consort, and the imminent I danger of a similar fate for the king ot Bulgaria, have no doubt filled every ■t-." court in Europe with alarm and caused k- every monarch from St. Petersburg to -.•Madrid to feel uneasy for bls personal £• •nufel.v. And no doubt there is ground », fcrapprebension. Eve-y anarchlstand E ■ ktag-hating fanatic in Europe will be­ ’ ■- «in to plot anew the death of some B&twned bead. fe; Bnch a slate of affairs is no doubt to Fy be deprecated. Many of the reigning £■-monarchs ot Europe are pep^onally men L -V high character, sincerely devoted to welfare of their people. But they • - represent tbe principle of royalty—a jf principle that is fast becoming intoler K *Ue to the world. As intelligence sod £' education are spreading among the P''aeaaaes of the old world, the proposition St that a few men are born to rule while F Oil tbe rest are bound to obey is begin•; ning to give way to the American doe- apd a new government has been set up and a new king proclaimed. The Affair wm certainly enough and shocking to people everywhere. Tb, _ through the darkness of the night from room to room of the royal palace and then to be ruthlessly shot down, as were the king and queen of Servia, must excite something of compassion for the unhappy rulers. But m the lives and character of this immoral prince and his wicked wife become known and m the rottenness of the Servian governing class Is revealed, there will not be a great deal of regret expressed, especially in our own country over an event that promises to bring abetter government to the peo­ ple of this Slavonian country. Servia has an area of 19,000 square miles and a population about equal to that of Michigan. Its government is a Constitutional monarchy, and it is nomi­ nally an Independent nation. In re­ ality however its autonomy depends upon the protection of Russia and Aus­ tria-Hungary. There Is said to be a disposition on tbe part of many Servi­ ans to convert the government into a republic, but it la safe to say that the great powers which surround the little kingdom will prevent such an outcome of the present uprising. The tragedy in the royal palace will simply transfer a blood stained crown from one king to another and perhaps better one. I a the meantime the great nations of the world will give but a passing thought to this little nation. Clarkson’s Poor Advice. The revelations of dishonest practices in the postoffice department are bring­ ing to light such widespread corruption that the republican leaders are becom­ ing alarmed. General James S. Clark­ son, surveyor of the port of New York, and spoilsman politician of the first rank, is reported to have hurried to Washington the other day to expostu­ late with the administration against any further investigation of the postoffice department. He is represented as de­ claring that if the investigation is not stopped the party will be in danger, in consequence, of course, of the wide­ spread public indignation that will re­ sult from a publication of all the incrim­ inating facts. Such advice, if it has been given to the president, is not the kind which Mr. Roosevelt, or any other president, can afford to follow, if dishonesty exists in one of the departments, if the govern­ ment is being systematically plundered in any of the public bureaus, there can be but one honorable course for the president to pursue. That course is to probe the evil to its core and let no guilty man escape, regardless of who that guilty man may be. And if .Mr. Roosevelt possesses the firmness, the courage and the patriotism for which be is given credit he will not allow the arguments of the machine politicians at Washington to swerve him from his manifest duty. Moreover, there could be no greater mistake, politically, than to try td cover up the evils which everybody knows exist. If the republican administration tries to shield evildoers and criminals it will certainly deserve the defeat which Gen. Clarkson and his ilk are holding up before the president as the sure consequence of his doing his duty. Mr. Scripps’ Experience Senator J. E. Scripps of Detroit pub­ lished in Sunday’s Tribune a very in­ teresting account of his experience in the late unlamented legislature. If any one thinks that that body was made up of serious-minded, disinterest­ ed patriots whose sole purpose was to serve the state of Michigan as well as they possibly could, Mr. Scripps’ state­ ments will dispel the illusion. It is amusing and even pathetic to read how after spending two months last fall in preparing several measures of great importance to bis constituents and in thoroughly informing himself upon the questions that were likely to come be­ fore the legislature, he went to Lan­ sing and was snubbed and turned down on every sid/s; how Senator Doherty and the rest of the peanut politicians that made up the “immortal nineteen” of the last session agreed to kill every measure that Senator Scripps tried to put through; and how Impossible it was to get tbe committee on cities and vil­ lages of which he wm a member, to give any serious, conscientious con­ sideration to measures that Mr. Scripps regarded as of great importance. Fi­ nally the aged senator from the third district tells us he has received from I.” This doctrine will ultimately the state “the customary emoluments > away the old order ot thing*, of tbe office, >511.64—not one cent more there will be no more violent and fkomany source,” while his expense© “iociudiBg the cost of the campaign, railroad fares, board bills and inciden­ upon unhappy and blood stained tala, have reached 11400.05, leaving as the net cost of tbe honor of one term in the Michigan state senate the sum of Th.

Judg­ ing from the undertone of bitterness that runs through the Banner’s reply, our well-intentioned purpose seems to have been a failure. And yet it is hard to see wherein the Banner’s last arti­ cle adds anything to tbe strength of its previous statement, or controverts in any way the Herald’s contention that the difference between the owners of the three factories in dispute and the board of review is simply a question of judgment. We do not understand that the Ban­ ner claims that these properties are assessed too high, but simpiy that the assessing officers, or rather one of them (for it ignores the rest) was actuated by a spirit of hostility towards them. This is a mere theory unsupported by evidence and h is pretty near an in­ sult to the other gentlemen on the board to maintain that one man enutrolled their judgment and compelled them to deliberately do a wrong to these factories. For one we refuse to believe any such aspersion. We are not even convinced that Mr^FIicks was actuated by malice or prejudice against these properties. The Herald does not propose to keep up this controversy and what it. says now it intends shall be its final word upon the subject. It deprecates dissension among the business men of the city. We ought to all work togethfor tbe good of our fair little city and all bear without, murmuring our just share of the burden of administering the city's public affairs. We ought afi to rejoice in the prosperity of our fac­ tories and our business men in general. But their very prosperity adds to their valuation upon the tax roils and in­ creases their proportionate burden of taxation. This is certainly just and we are unable to see why there should be any-strenuous objection to the enforce­ ■» ment of such a just principle. Of course if any property has been assessed i. too high the law affords a remedy. We do not understand that in the case of which tbe Banner complains so bitterly * there was any resort made to this remedy. Then what is there to com­ plain of:' Ab for the statement that tbe * board gf review was actuated by preju­ dice and unfairness this seemed to be simply a case of distorted imagination on the part of our worthy contempor­ ary and does not rise to the dign;ty of any argument at all.

Doh’t drink much water at meals, but take a glassful the first thing in the morning and tbe .last thing at night if you want peach blow cheeks. Don’t drink too much coffee or tea unless you want a complexion like leather in color and texture, Don’t drink sparkling waters and unsweetened lemonade if you want to gain flesh. They act directly on fatty tissue. Don’t ent potatoes, peas, macaroni cream, olive oil, pastry and bonbons if you want to lose flesh, Don't go to bed hungry.

Watterson fails to perceive that the boodlers in Missouri want to get rid of Folk as a democratic candidate for governor by dangling the presidency as a bait. Folk has an unfinished task upon bis hands. He has recently said he intended to push the boodle investi­ gations to the end of his term as cir­ cuit attorney, which occurs at tbe be­ ginning of 1905. It is clear that if the boodlers can insert a presidential bee in Folk’s bat they sidetrack him in Missouri, which is their most fervent wish. As governor of Missouri Folk would be in his element. Ho knows the utter corruption of tho present state machine. Consequently, the ringsters want him to go off on a fool­ ish tangent and gallop after tbe pres-** iden jy.

From the earliest discussion of the __ bill providing for three more justices for tbe supreme court, ths governor de­ clared himself opposed to the .measure and be remaioea so until tbe last mo-' ment. He held that the Increase was unnecessary and in this view be was supported by a part of the state bar. Up to the last hour of the time limit he conferred with politicians and others about tbe state by long distance phone, and after wavering until it became necessary to act one way or the other, the governor took up bis pen, com­ plained that the action was against his better judgment, and signed the bill. It must be admitted that the govern­ or showed a woeful lack of determina­ tion and moral courage. If fie was convinced, as he said, that the bill was a bad one, he should have vetoed it, without regard to the political or per­ sonal influences which might have been brought to bear upon him. But to have emphatically declared against the measure and then finally approve it* is an act of vacillation to which the people of the statb are unaccustomed, even on the part of their chief execu­ tive.—Grand Rapids Press. Can the King Control? ' According to a cablegram .'rom___ London, King Edward has told Balfour, as the head of the British government, that th$ Irish land bill must pass. This is stronger language than is ex­ pected from an English monarch in these days and it will be interesting, if possible- to trace the influence of the royal command upon the outcome of the attempt to enact the measure. The reasons for the interference of the king will be made the stronger should It.prove true that he is tbe real au­ thor of tbe bill and intends standing sponsor for it dntil it becomes a law or is defeated in spite of his efforts His earnestness in the matter is ac­ centuated by the alleged fact that in addition to providing for the sale of lands ft specified in tbe bill he seeks the release of all Irishmen now ■ in Prison for political offenses. He is operating in the latter cause while the fate of the measure is in abeyance and this is one of the strongest evidences of his good faith toward the Irish that could be given under the circum­ stances.—Detroit Free Press.

Hls duties begin an hour be­ fore breakfast, by all rights, inasmuch as it should take him that time to brush up hls blue or black uniform, shave, make ids hands neat and shine his 51m>cs. He is supposed to wear a spot­ less and expansive bosom to hls shirt, clean collar and black or white tie. I do not think I ever saw but two stewtrds who had shirts; all the others used I dickey for the sake of economy. Walting on the passengers at table, the care of tables, the care of the silverware and a certain amount of dishwashing and pantry work make up the steward's dining room duties. The other half is work In the state­ rooms, making the beds, straightening up the rooms and doing the general work of a chambermaid, as well as giv­ ing a certain amount of attendance to the occupants of the rooms. The pay is very poor, and the princi­ pal dependence of the steward is on the tips he receives. They are really the poorest paid class that go to sea In one way, and yet I have known men to make £40 in tips on a six weeks' voy­ age.—Leslie’s Monthly. The Horse In Mythology. The Grecians placed in the sun tho god of their Wisdom and intelligence and gave him a chariot and four fiery horses—the chariot* to symbolize doc­ trine and the horses intelligences. So with their god of the sea. Neptune was drawn in his sea chariot by horses —the. sea to symbolize all scientific knowledge In general, the chariot to symbolize doctrine or science and the horses intelligences. They mytholog­ ically descrilied the birth of the sciences by the flying horse Pegasus, which With its hoofs burst open a fountain out of the hard roCk at the moment of bls rising from earth to heaven, at which fountain were seven virgins who were the seven sciences. The flying horse symbolizes an intel­ ligence directed heavenward; the hard rock represents’ hard matter of fact or sensual knowledge; the fountain spring­ ing therefrom represents pure truth, where the virgin sciences delight' to dwell. That was a peculiar case of suicide— a self guillotining. Tbe average sui­ cide shoots or cuts or swallows poison recklessly, frequently botching the job fearfully. - But this fellow? Listen: After sharpening the edge of a spade he fastened the implement, blade down­ ward, to the end of a carpenter’s bench, which he weighted heavily. He then placed a block of wood under the safne end of the bench in such a manner that it could be easily removed, and so let the bench fall, together with the sharp­ ened blade. When the"* preparations were completed he lay down, placed his neck across a thick piece of wood di­ rectly under the spade, knocked away the support and was infmedlately and completely decapitated. — New York Press. .• ’ * Seaweed a. “There is much that is wonderful to be told about seaweeds,” said a naturalist. “Some of them are giants in size.

Scandals in Washington are multi­ plying as time goes on. The postolflce scandal still holds the palm for extent of corruption but one has developed in the administration of the affairs of the Indian Territory which, were ite loca­ tion as accessible to tbe representatives of the press, would almost equal the postal affair. It appears that for years the Indian agents appointed by the suc­ cessive republican aaministration/have been making false returns as to tbe number of Indians in tbe territory in order that they might profit personally by tbe surplus rations issued. When the Dawes commission undertook to divide the,Indian lands it used these padded rolls as a basis for ite work and now that the allotments have been practically completed 4t is discovered that tbe territory has been divided into more parts than zthere are Indians. How the matter can bo adjusted without great additional work and expense it is impossible to foresee but the president has appointed Francis E. Luepp, a prominent Washington newspaper cor­ respondent to make ?,n investigation of the situation and report to him. A scandal has developed in the treas­ ury department where it has been dis­ covered that an immigration official has been selling the private papers of the department, upwards of 4,000 in num­ ber, to private persons, especially the railroads and steamship companies. The department of agriculture is the scene or still another scandal in connec­ tion With tbe distribution of free seeds in which the secretary of agriculture is shown to have appointed a political favorite to the position of inspector of the work of the seed contractor, and Mr. Wilson’s protege to have grossly neglected the duties for whibh be was appointed, even if he did not share in the profits out of which the government was cheated. An investigation of the bureau of American ethnology is also in progress as the result of tbe defalcation of an employe, a Spanish war veteran Who obtained a place on the strength of his having been a soldier. Speaking of the situation in Wash­ ington os it obtains today, a member or congress said: "It is the old story. When a party remains io power too long there is sure to be wholesale cor­ ruption It is‘not the new man that steals from the government but the old office holder who regards himself safe frbm prosecution because of his politi­ cal influence and who has come to be­ lieve that no change of administration, which would reveal his peculations, is likely to occur. History always re­ peats itself in this.respect and tbe abuses finally becqme so serious that the people are compelled to change the administration if only to turn the ras­ cals out. Take the present situation in the postoffiqe department. Roose­ velt may be sincere in his desire to prosecute those who have actually stolen from the government but oven he Is loath to expose the rascality of republican appointees and he h afraid to get rid of Pavne who is a profession­ al politician and whose every effort is bent to tbe saving of his colleague on the republican national committee, Perry Heath,’ and other republican friends, just as be strained every nerve to save Hanna’s friend, Machen. It has been stated in various quarters that Postmaster General Payne intend­ ed to'resign but this Mr, Payne denies. He has been quite ill but is much better now and was' present at the last cabinet meeting before the president left Washington. Mr. Roosevelt left for Oyster Bay where he will spend the remainder of the summer on Satur­ day. Most of the embassies and lega­ tions are closed and Washington has assumed its usual sumnjer quiet.

There had been some anxious mo’nents for O Saya San before her fate was deelded: then'young Burroughs went his way after the manner of the English driftwood that goes up and down tbe Chjna seas and— Welladay! O Saya San bad sorrowed, but that was yes­ terday, and today was today, and, like a wise little woman, she rocked to and fro on her heels, dad In her best kimo­ no and swaying tho huge fan to and fro. From under her long lashes her bright eyes took stock of the six feet of sinuous flesh and blood that swayed >nd swung in tbe hanjmock as the breeze flung down a wonderful snow of pluk and white from the cherry boughs. Totally oblivious of her scrutiny, Royall lay and looked out over the eternal blue of the bay, the straw’ .-oofs and gilded kiosks of Yeddo town, cursing the gods with mighty curses for tbe sake of things existent and most of all for the'sake of things that were—exactly like a scene on a Japa­ nese fam He had u dim; elusive mem­ ory of a prim old parlor In tbe far Kentucky valley, where had buug a silken bnuuer covered with strange flights of bird and beast and a tea house, with an Impossible geisha strumming upon some spurious form of guitar. It had been brought from somewhere oversea, and his mother bad valued It highly. But there came, a day when he could stand the simper­ ing face no longer, and. with Infinite trouble, he had mounted chair and table until he tore It down and vended tbe silk Into ribbons, and then there was an afterward. Before him lay the jame blue of bay and sky and the imxjssible little tea house and, wore! of all, be could not stamp out this piclure. He turned to shut It from his aching eyes and beheld O Saya San peeping at him around her fan. There would be an afterward to this picture also, and again ho cursed the god of folly and almost cursed the memory of Dorothy’s face framed In the gold of the Kentucky sunset He had not deserved It She bad listened all too readily to the half Ue, more deadly than the blackest truth, that Matthews bad taken care sbe should overhear, and be—he hud been too proud to defend himself. ‘ The beat-beat of the "Doris’’ waltz came back to him. He could almost smell the perfume of her hair and see the lovely, laughing face as be had held It close to>bis heart that night—see It grow cold with scorn as she turned away ou her father’s arm. There bad been a certain poor satisfaction the next day when he bad forced Mat­ thews,J>y tbe virtue of his strong right arm, to write tbe letter to her retract­ ing tbe spoken lie. The savage hud rioted w^hln him as he saw Matthews prostrate with the mark of bls band 1 across the abject face. But even that could not efface the tact that Dorothy had believed him guilty. In his madness he had accepted bls uncle's offer to go out to Yeddo as bls representative and take charge of bls Immense interests there. Shrewd old Wallace Royall hud a notion of the trouble through which tbe lad was passing and hurried him into It before Royall knew what he was about Royall & Co. were a power In a small way where tbe army of coolies went up and down from the great warehouses to the sea aud tbe tea chests went In a constant stream from the gray fields, gathered in tbe gray dawns of orient skies, through the blare and light of Yeddo mart and out oversea,to busy, practical America. .It was a small kingdom, a mighty trust for tbe mnu that was yet a boy, but Jim Royall would have parted with the whole of his prospects, would have gone forth the veriest beggar, could Ue have undone the tnnd moment when he bad returned a certain little blue en­ velope unopened and sent back her let­ ters. He had kept her picture; why, be could not have told; but there it was, cased in the big silver heart that she had given him. He never opened it, but it lay close to his heart, insensate, yet pregnant of a thousand fancies. As the last long finger of tbe sun­ set touched the glided railing O Saya Ban crept timidly out Royall looked at tbe little yellow hand, with Its dyed finger tips, that rested upon It and drew a long breath. He looked at O Saya San, and Ue thought long thoughts as the soft velvet of tbe gray gloaming shut out the gold of the Asian sky and wrapped him into tbe arms of tbe old sweet mother, the witching, wonderful cast One by one. tbe stars woke up and. answering the twinkling lights of Yeddo, threw long jeweled banners down the bay.

The Democratic Leadership. ; Much speculation is being indulged Bk\ in by some editorial writers, especially £ .of the independent press, on the quesE&on of the democratic leadership in '1904.

No doubt, au. •ach discussion will have its advantIt will help to some extent in | creating an interest and perhaps form■f ing public opinion, or at least of rous­ Ing it into action. But aside from such resalts, thementton of these names need not bo refcjpwded m especially significant. It F does not necessarily follow that the dis■g:TMttsion of candidates at the present time >111 lead to the choice of any of ■ these gentlemen by the national cone'Tention next year. The party is at ■Lpreeent in a quiescent and ruminating ■ mood, and what it will do in 1904 is beW yend tbe ken of any prophet as yet to L foretell. One thing however is pretty certain. K.

He was cultivating corn on a sidehill and in turning around the cultivator tipped over onto tbe horses and they rolled down tbe hill into the .fence. Strange to say the animals were not injured, and the only damage to the cultivator was a broken handle. Supervisor George W. Abbey was fifty-six years old Friday and he never surmised that anyone knew of tbe event. Fifteen orjwetity of his friends were onto the fact, however, and as George follows the old saying “Early to bed, early co rise, etc.” they arrived at his home none too early as he was almost ready to retire. The evening was pleasantly spent by all, who hope to attend at least fifty more just such gatherings. * At the examination for teachers’ cer­ tificates held Jude 18tb and 19th there were 44 applicants, 18 for second grade and 28 for third grade certificates.

Friday evening the board of educa­ tion met and filled the remaining va­ cancies on the teaching force. Miss Sharlot Brumm under whom music was successfully inaugurated into our schools but who resigned a year ago on account of her mother’s health, was chosen teacher of music and drawing for the coming year.

He had de­ / cided to stay at a farmhouse on ac­ . count of Its privacy. When he found that this exclusiveness did not Include Miss Dorothy Sibley, he had cause to ' bless the genera! fitness of things. • He was sitting on a fence one after­ V noon blessing the fitness and regarding . a goat named Alexander which dis­ ported Itself in an orchard with all the perky mannerisms of its breed. A pair of lawn clad arms were pres­ ently placed on the fence, and two blue eyes looked laughingly into his. “Are you seeking material for a sto­ ry in Alexander?" asked Dorothy. BF: “Not &t alL I was criticising his name.” And Wilfred leaped to the ground. “I suppose that It was given him by . tome facetious summer boarder.” said Dorothy, regarding Alexander, who pirouetted toward them with a look in his eye that was half vicious, half ?■ humorous. “I think Rip Van Winkle would be more in the way of a summer boarder's “ najoe," dissented Wilfred. “Anyway, I’m glad tbe fence is between us and that goat, for I suspect him of being a % > villain.” .: “How have you been spending the Afternoon?” asked Miss Sibley. *“Beadlng a, story." fore be* noticed that the others were not with him.

Mr. Ives exhibited the unexpected agility of stout people. Iiu ten seconds at the most he was seated among the lower branches of an apple tree, and Alexander was dancing arduud Its trunk. • “Call that beast awayl” yelled Ives. ' “Come, Alexander,” Wilfred said gently. Alexander leered mockingly at the joung man, who turned bls attention to Mr. Ivee. “Str,” he said, “I have done you an injustice, and I regret It, but the hap­ piness of two lives Is too great a pen­ alty to pay for such an offense. First I must make my most humble apolo­ gies for wounding your sensibilities. Then I must tell you that I shall wound them more, for If you do not withdraw your objection to my atten­ tions to your niece I shall at once go to the farmhouse and call al! its occu­ pants to witness your present positldh.” ' At the end of this stilted speech Mr. Ives looked down at the capering Alex­ ander and considered. Wilfred started away. . "Hold on!” cried Ives. "Let me think.” As he thought a dormant sense of humor asserted Itself, and at the end of five minutes his features suggested this feeling. \ “Get that Infernal goat away,’’ he said. Wilfred opened the gate. Alexander charged madly and with such speed that he shot into the road. Wilfred stepped into the orchard, again closing the gate and leaving Alexander vainly butting the fence. Then he and Mr. Ives took the short cut to the farm­ house, and when they approached that building they were arm in arm. allows bow a womafi who Is determtatKljto succeed can accomplish her alm and win a place and a name for herself even though she invades the flekte of labor that are supposed to be talents of man. • -.

Pinney, ‘-I Press Supt. of Barry county. The Improved System. ’Mrs. Archie McCoy has completed by long and diligent study, a new system music study, based on modern educa­ tional principles. The study of psy­ chology has started the public to consiaering the processes of the mind in music education. The plea for the new education in music is that It will make possible, for every one to read and write and under­ stand music as he reads and writes and understands English. £he old methods of education made players, not muriclans. Plsyers of this1 class are unable to form any conception of a melody by looking at the notation but must hear It played on some instrument. This is directly contrary to the principles of music education. ‘’ A musical thought Is as well defined as any other mental concept. One of the most satisfactory results is the mar­ velous way in which the ear is trained. This alone means almost the creation of musical ability and Is of Lhe greatest value in after education. There is no way in which one can make easy the road to knowledge but the* way may be shortened and the journey a pleasant one If knowledge be the object of sincere desire. Mrs. McCoy has devoted three years of hard study to perfect herself in this system, and after demonstrating her ability to teach it, was granted a di­ ploma by Emma A. Thomas, who is founder and director of the best normal training school of music in the country. A great educator has said “Mere mustclanship is no longer snffleient for the teacher.” • Mrs. McCoy has sixty pupils taking the work and is giving the best of sauafaction. A brilliant future is predicted for this system. -J . . ' ’ -n . - ?. . .Jj ADDITIONAL LOCAL. A couple of campers at Wall lake have just been taught the lesson in Justice Bishop’s court that it is liable to be pretty expensive business to help yourself to things that don’t belong to ' you when you are out for a little ran. It seems that these men unlocked the door of the schoolhouse in district No. 11, Hope township’ and took away a broom, a pall and a dipper. The direc­ tor, Chauncey Townsend, made com­ plaint of them before Justice Bishop and they appeared before him this morning, plead guilty to larceny, and paid a fine of 84.00 and 67.00 costa, all for articles that they could have bought for 11.75. The two ball games between Hast­ ings and Grand Rapids on the Fourth resulted In an even split. In the morn­ ing the home team had things all their own way and easily won by a score of 19 to 2. Damoth pitched a fine game and had the visitors completely at his mercy at every stage of the game. The afternoon game wm a better game from score of 7 to 6, it wm not an easy victory . as the score in the seventh inning stood ' i 6 to 2 in favor of Hastings.

Hastings, Mkh., May 15, F>o3. H. H. Sxtprk. Current Opinion. Wm Hereafter Plague Him. The refusal of Gov. Bliss to take any action against Tax Commissioners Sayre ana Freeman will hereafter plague him. The usefulness, of these commissioners has been .greatly im­ paired. Their friendliness for the rail­ roads Is ao pronounced and so apparent to the public that confidence In their usefulness as servants of the people will be greatly shaken, and their acts, how­ ever well meant, will be looked*upon with suspicion. And Gov. Bliss will be more generally regarded as the true friend of the railroads.—^Lansing Jour• • . ' ' ■ > ’ . They Have “Queered” Themselves. Probably there is not another official of the elate govervmon^ the erring tax commissioners exeluded, that does not Aee that for the good of the stalo and the good of the party the governor should have removed Commissioners Sayre and Freeman from office within 24 hours after it was known that they had signed affidavits at the request of the railways. The case was perfectly plain. No investigation was needed. The affidavits spoke for themselves and neither Sayre nor Freeman had a shadow of excuse. The obvious fact is that their opportunity for usefulness in behalf of the state is gone. In ches'ang of the day. they have “queered” theraeelves. They have tainted the entire case of the state against the railways.

Patrol­ man Louis N. Massey last Friday, war delivered up to them. The Governor has ordered out the militia. One white boy has been shot, two negroes and one negress have been killed and much greater loss of life is feared .be­ fore the rioting is quelled, The r.enbers of the mob were shouting death to all negroes. Fire on Policeman The steel bars of the jell windows could not withstand the rain of blows from the battering rams of the mob, and a few minutes before 2 o’clock tbe crowd swarmed in and began to eearch for the negro. Polled Captain Brennecke tried to check their ad­ vance by turning the hose upon them. When he apeared at the window a rain of bullets was sent through. He retreated and no further attempt to keep the mob out was made. They searched through the jail, and being unable to find Brown, dispersed, al­ though 200 of them, heavily armed, began marching through the . streets where negroes are likely to Kia found. Mob Is Dlspercod. The trouble commenced early Sun­ day morning, when a mob of 150 meh stormed the jail endeavoring to secure Lee Brown and lynch him. Sheriff Krantz turned in a riot alarm, and sev­ eral policemen who arrived soon after* succeeded in driving the mob from the side inclosure Into which they had broken by using a telephone p^le as a battering ram against the side gate. By 5 o'clock in the morning the mob dispersed, and the prisoner w^s then spirited out of the city and taxen to Vincennes for safe-keeping. Crowd Arpund J»UAll th rough the forenoon and after­ noon there were toutttfiflngk-df lynch­ ings and war on the n. zroo», and early Sunday night the mob b-vgan forming around the jail. I*v 9 o'clock almost 2,000 persons were bur-oun Ing the jail, calling upon the sheriff to open the dodrs or they would tear them down. As the night progressed the mob became more and more ag­ gressive and Increased in niinbcre. Gov. Durbin was communicated with, and he at once ordered Capt. Bl>'m of the militia to get his company ready to act at a moment’s notice. * Negtoto Gather. The cries of the member of the mob after they had recovered from t •frat stroke of terror caused tbe "''greas of the city to gather in in •'O.f r at places. Soon the fights between them and white men became more and more frequent. Almost every hardware store .In the city had been broken into and p^t a man can be seen on the streets who 1* not armed.

No more can the business of the nation L / prosper under such a system. That the spoils system is really in force at Washington, though under the t’ guise of a civil service law, has been made painfully apparent by the exposuree in the postoffice department—ex­ posures which have scandalized the na­ . Hon.' If merit, efficiency, length of ‘ service had been the basis for appolntmeat and promotion Instead of “pull,” 'we should not have seen tbe great post­ office department honeycombed with . corruption, incompetency and fraud. E;'And if Mr. Roosevelt is a true civil f '■ service reformer as he purports to be, be -will see to it that the civil service commission is purged of its spoilsmen ' masquerading as reformers aud that the ; merit system is honestly enforced. He to his country and to himself, than to bring about an honest enforcement of tbe civil service laws. • A Paramount Consideration. It is to be hoped that the state board of education in locating tbe new nor­ mal, realising the far-re$ohlng conse­ quences of U»e!r action, will be govern­ ed by thehlgheet considerations of pub­ lic policy and the future welfare of the state. Indeed, to infer otherwise would be to attribute to these gentleu men motives entirely unworthy of men * to Whom such a delicate responsibility has been committed. Assuming then that the board are seeking for tbe beet possible location for the school, we respectfully urge this new institution in so environment whleh shall make for the highest moral welfare of the young men and women ! . who are to receive their preparation ' for teaching within its walls. For, ■ after all that may be said in reference to other points in the problem, the | most vital consideration to be dealt is the moral ope. Education is a moral work and the • tn our public schools must have above all things else a strong rnuca our own U.U ma > the most eentraHy, conveniently and pleas­ antly located. Hastings contains a law-abiding, home-loving, moral peo­ ple. It is wall supplied with churches and schools and It supports such refin­ ing and uplifting forces as public li­ braries and reading rooms, lecture courses and musical and literary clubs. Io fact this little city presents all the moral agencies that the large dty can offer, without the counteracting evil influences of the large city. Popo Leo XllL The impending death of Pope Leo XIII. will direct the thoughts of all Christendom to Rome and to the ven­ erable head of the great Roman church. Tho pontiff was certainly a man of remarkable abilities and pos­ sessed those strong characteristics that made him one of the gfeat forces of the age. Ascending the papal throne at a time 'when it represented very little of temppral power, he has during this exceptionally long reign, faithfully and effectively stood for what he, as well as his immediate prede­ cessor, maintained to be the rights of the church in temporal as well as spir­ itual affairs, and although no reconcil­ iation has been effected between the Roman hierarchy and the Italian gov­ ernment, there is no doubt that the papacy stands higher in the estimation of the governments of Christendom today than it did when Leo began his reign. . However men may have differed with his holiness in matters of theology all tbe world will unite in homage to the venerable and holy leader of a great church, who showed himself to be a firm and powerful champion of religion, a broad minded and farseeingTeader of men. a zealous defender of the truth as he saw the truth. Pope Leo was a scholar aud a diplomat of rare abilities, a man who grasped the real signifi­ cance of passing events, and though of course zealous for advancing the church of which he was the visible head, interested in the progress of the world in other directions than theology and spiritual things. He is known to have been deeply interested in the trend ol American affairs and to have feltstrong pereonel Mendsblp for the United States. A knowledge of thts feeling will tend to intensify the regret felt in this country by all denominations of Christians over the death of the venerable head of the Roman Catholic church.

Granted that there may be worse evils ' than war, it must also be affirmed that L every act of tbe world's governments &.'• that makes war less possible is a dis. tinct advance in tbe highest welfare J. of the human race. f That Petition to Russia. I. It is generally believed In dlplo-. malic circles that tbe petitions ot the ■- American people to the Russian govern­ ment asking for the amelioration of the condition of the Russian Jews, which . our own government has undertaken to present, will not bo received. Diplo­ mats seem to regard the move as like­ ly to give offense to Russia, being lo - the nature of aq Interference by one nation with the Internal affairs of a friendly power. In other words Russia will have reason to resent such an act and tell us to “mind our own business.” Theore-lcally and practically, it may be that this view of the matter Is correel. Il may be quite beyond the ordinar, rules of international inter­ course for a government to present a I communication, such as tbe Jewish petition, to a government with which w it la on good terras. And yet Is it not possible for a situation to exist In which precedent may well be ignored? When alate at thia atage of the game. . Among the men who are Mid to be not unwilling to sacrifice themselves upon the gubernatorial altar are J. S. Stearns, Fred M. Warner, William Alden Smith, George Horton and Perry F. Powers. There are also others. Some of these gentlemen are of the bet­ ter class of politicians who would make good governors, as governors go. Others are simply.office seekers with no other qualifications than a big wad of money. The worst of it is that the lat­ ter class stand thb best chance of win­ ning. It is said that T, J. Noin and the “machine” are working forJ. 8. Stearns because he has plenty of mone? to spend. This policy of the republican machine to pick out a candidate for the head of tbe state ticket who has plenty of money and an inclination to spend it is a disgrace to the republican party of Michigan and cannot be too strongly condemned. Money has been lavished like water at every campaign of late years In securing the republican nom­ ination for governor, and the evil has so jprowi! that no man can hope to be nominated unless be is rich or has rich friends to come forward with the boodle. Is it not time that the good people of Michigan woke up to the fact that the highest office within their gift is being sold to the highest bidder and that even now the machine leaders are fix­ ing up things for another boodle cam­ paign? Becoming Moro Charitable, One of tbe facts brought out In con­ nection with tbe illness of the pope is that the world is growing charitable and broader -minded. Expressions of sympathy and high regard for the dy­ ing pontiff are being made on .all sides and by men of all lands and creeds. Men who differ widely from him In the­ ology are as eloquent in their praise of his personal character and high ser­ vices to the world as those of his own communion. • All this must be taken as a happy augury for the future advancement of Christian unity. There was a time when all Europe was embroiled in re­ ligious wars and persecutions, when in­ tolerance and bigotry were the curse of the Christian world. That time has happily passed away forever and men of all creeds are able today to subordi­ nate dogma and Inherited religious tendencies to a common love for all Christian men." Perhaps the day may come when the dream of Christian unity shall be fully realized. Tbe uni­ versal demonstrations of good will and love for Leo XIII seem to point to such a thing as at least possible. "that of the osar allows thousands of its subjects to be maltreated and even pat to death in tbe most shocking manner, h it lot time that a feeling of humanity should outweigh the musty traditions jrt diplomacy? Even if tbe Russian ^-government feels that the petition is a reflection upon itself, it is bird to see how it can take very deep offense at a respectfully worded request that it take measures to prevent a recurrence of atrocities that must appeal toiuown right thinking people as well aa to the . rest of the world. At any rate tbe moral effect of the attempt of tbe Unit­ , ed States government to mediate in be- . • Sharia* tea E*TPt. The earliest reference to shaving of the beard is found In Genesis xll, 14, where we read that Joseph on being summoned before the king shaved himself. There are several references as to shaving In Leviticus, and the practice is alluded to in many other parts of the Bible. However, Egypt is the only country mentioned in the Bible where shaving was practiced. In all other countries at that time such ao act would have teas consid­ ered ignominious. Herodotus menkfoas that the Egyptians allowed their beards to grow when they were in mourning. Bo particular were they aa to shaving at all other time* that to have neglected it was to make one­ self the butt of coarse aod ridiculous Even in this day and age when the Egyptian wants to convey the idea of a man of low condition and sloven­ ly habits he always pictures to you a man with a full beard. This notion Is very ancient, a fact attested by works of art found in burial monu­ ments dating back thousands of years. A traveler writes: “1 have often been •truck by the ease with which people in southern Europe are amused. In Parts 100,000 people go .out to LongChamps for thn Grand Prix race, and comeback.

ROUTE MjlRfHINE DECLINES TO RECEIVE NOTE California GREAT ROCK ISLAND ROUTE 1 c ...nM 7.. is-is ?s ■ Patents Handsome E —4 yfeimLA — Hye-No. 3. MU* . Washington, July 12.—It is semi- ] officially announced that when the .• leaders of Jewish organization In this 1 country call on President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay to present their petition ’ for transmittal to the,czar of Russia, " urging that persecutions along the line of the Klshineff massacre cease, aa agreement will be reached whereby ' tbe petition will be withdrawn. The president ir becoming anxious about • this petition. He plunged Into the Klshineff affair on impulse and against ? the earnest advice of Secretary Hay and almost every other member of the cabinet . Might Involve Country. The president suddenly announced one morning that he would accept the Jewish petition and transmit it to St Petersburg. His advisers have felt since that the step was a serious inistake,, which might Involve thia country in an unpleasant tangle with Russia, which haa always been a friendly This feeling has been increased by statements from the Russian embassy in Washington to the effect that the czar did not view the plan of sending him a Jewish petition with the In- . doraement of the. American govern­ ment and would decline to consider such a representation. . May Request Withdrawal. Newspapers gll over ‘.he United States have taken the mat‘er up and strongly criticized the president for his ill-advised action and Mr. Roose­ velt is now becoming alarmed. It Is said he intends to request th* Jews to withdraw their petition. He will plead in support of this request that the Russian government has practical­ ly declined In advance to receive or consider the petition and that there­ fore It would be useless to send it to the czar. His real reason, however, is said to be that be fears the transmit­ tal of the petition will result In a very unfriendly feeling on the part of Rus­ sia towards this country. The feeling now is none too friend­ ly owing to the agitation of the Klshlneff affair and President Roosevelt does not care to have the relations between tbe two governments become more strained, especially as be realizes that the petition will accompany nothing. Will Appeal to Jew*, If there was reasonable assurance that the petition would be favorably received the president would undoubt­ edly accept and transmit it to St Petersburg even though it is admit­ tedly not the province oif this ”?overnment io stand sponsor for private en­ terprise of that character. Under the circumstances the presi­ dent feels that it is the better part of wisdom to withdraw from tbe Klshineff affair and it is not believed-that the 3ews will object strongly to hit proposal. At least that Is what th< administration hopes. LURES A WOMAN TO HER DEATH Jilted Lover Shoot* Mrs. John Mackey and Trie* to Kill Himself. St. Joseph.

There has beeq too little knowl­ edge of that seemingly remote part of the state to conduce to such friendli­ ness and neighborliness as ought to exist between two parts of one great commonwealth. Lower peninsula peo­ ple have regarded the upper peninsula as a cold and desolate region inhabited by miners and lumbermen, with little of the culture and refinement that ob­ tains in the lower part of the state. As a matter of fact there is more wealth, Intelligence and enterprise above the straits than below them. People of the Superior country, on the other hand, have been so deeply absorbed in thtfir own affairs that they have been rather indifferent to the affairs of lower Mich­ igan. They are for the moat part more closely connected in a business way with Milwaukee, Chicago and Minne­ apolis than with Detroit and Grand Rapids. Of course this lack of cordiality and oo-operation between the two penin­ sulas is primarily due to natural causes. Lakes Michigan and Huron have joined hands at the straits and formed a bar­ rier between northern and southern Michigan, while nothing interferes with tne communication between Chi­ cago. or MilwaBbee. or St. Pau) with Marauette und .ibc mining country. But in spite of these facts there ought to be and can tie a better mutual ac­ quaintance and a more intimate rela­ tion, socially., commercially und politi­ cally, between the two sections of the state than at present exist. It is safe to say that Lhe visit of the editors of the lower peninsula to tbe Soo, Mar­ quette, the “copper country," and Menominee will have a tendency to draw these nearer together. We of the visiting party certainly know more of the free nearted hospitality, the pub­ lic spirt led ness, the ‘push” of the peo­ ple who live in the Superior country than we ever did before, and we hope we impressed upon our hosts that we are glad that they belong to the same glonous old state of Michigan as our­ selves. , To the Duluth,South Shore <k Atlan­ tic railway company the editorial party owe heartiest thanks. A special train of three nice coaches and a baggage car was placed at our service from Wednesday evening when we left the Soo until midnight of Friday when we reached Menominee. Everything was done bv the officials to make our trip through the peninsula comfortable and safe. No attempt at record breaking speed was made, but we made good time and entered every stopping point on schedule time, and not tne slightest accident occurred to mar the success of the trip. The D., S. S. A A. runs the whole length of the northern peninsula and passes through the greatest deer region in th§ country, the Mecca of thousands of sportsmen every fail. It is not an uncommon thing, I was told, for deer to stand upon the track at night fas­ cinated by the headlight of the locomo­ tive until struck by tne pilot. West from the Soo through a low, swampy country, without inhabitants and apparently good for nothing, ex­ cept perhaps hunting, our train sped; on tnreugh Newberry without stop­ ping. At Soo Junction a reception committee from Marquette, consisting of General Passenger Agent Geo. W. Hibbard, Pastmaster J. D. Mangum, J. B. Gordon and W. A. Ross, boarded the train and made the acquaintance of the party. Cards were given us show­ ing the hotel to .which we were assigned and when we reached Marquette at 10:30 the entire crowd of tired travelers found their quarters and retired as soon as possible. Thursday was a perfect day, the sun shining brightly and the air eool and "bracing. It seemed as if the hospitable people of Marquette had made special arrangements with the weather man to give us a perfect day. The forenoon was spent by most of the party in a visit to the prison—a new and model institution'of its kind, admirably con­ ducted by Warden James Russell. The prisonei-s are treated with unusual hu­ maneness and given many privileges in return for good conduct A weekly newspaper is published by some of the prisoners, and a band is maintained. Before the party left, Deputy Warden Catlin called in the prison band, and had them play several selections, clos­ ing with “Michigan, My Mlchigah,” In which the whole party joined. As for ourself, we preferred to accept the invitation of an old friend, Mr. Peter Phelps, (son-in-law of President Fitch of the D., 8. a & A.) for a drive about the pity and the forenoon was residence .13 tcU harbor, where beautiful homes bear .12 to 13 witoess to the wealth of Its citizen., we drove out to Presque Island park.

L ’. quickly ---------- ,------------------Isle, where most of the party took a ride by steam launches or on a neat and trim । little steam bpat around the beadland into Lake Superior. The view from the deck of the steamer looking back upon the city and the green clad nills behind it, the long curve of the, shore, the sparkling waters of the bay, was simply perfect and we greatly enjoyed our wat­ er trip of the afternoon. ’ Marquette is a dty of about 12,000 in­ habitants. and may be regarded as the metropolis of the upper peninsula. It has fine churches, schools and other public buildings, among them a public library, the gift of Hon. Peter white, and is the center of the iron ore region. Near it are the hustling iron mining towns of Negaunee and Ishpeming. Back to the hotel for an early dinner and then to the train which awaits to take us our evening ride of ninety-five miles into the copper country. At sixthirty Conductor Vaughan gives the starting signal and we pul’, out of beauti­ ful Marquette, carrying with us pleas­ ant memories of its hospitable people. Westward on the main line through the hustling towns of Negaunee, Ishpeming and Champion to Neatoria; then straight north on the Houghton branch fortynine miles on the copper arm that stretches out Into the lake, known as the Keweenaw peninsula, to Houghton, where we arrive about J1:30 p. m. and are assigned quarters in one of the best hotels in northern Michigan, the Doug­ las house. After an elegant breakfast Friday morning in whicn the ’•plunked white­ fish” for which this house is famous were served and beautiful carnations presented to every guest, we started out on a most interesting trip to the copper mine region of Calumet. We were ta­ ken bv train across the river, where the thriving town of Hancock is situated and then a ride of forty minutes to Lake Linden -a region abounding in stamp mills und smelting furnaces. Here are located the great stamp mills of the Calumet & Hecla company where the copper ore Is crushed into a coarse pow­ der, by machinery of tremendous pow­ er, then passed through a succession of washings by means of which the copper is separated from the dross, much in the same way, I suppose, as gold and silver ore is treated. From the stamp mills the crude copper is taken after it has been dried—for it is full of water from the washings It has received, like coarse, red grave.—to the smelting works, where it is melted and cast into ingots or other forms ready for shipment. These stamp mills and smelting works are situated several miles from the mines, upon the shores of Torch lake. The waters of this lake are tinged a dark red near the mills, resulting from the process of washing the copper ore. The largest pumping machine in the world takes sixty millions of gallions of water per day from the lake into the big stamp mill from whence, after it has served its purpose, it is lifted by enor­ mous wheels, built with buckets on their rims which dip up the w’ater, to flumes which convey it back again into the lake. One of these wheels, 54 feet in diameter, handles 21,000,000 gallons of water'and 2.000 tons of sand per day. Another is still larger, having a diame­ ter 69 feet. A boiler capacity of 14,000 horse power is required to run this plant. As we left the smelting works we were each presented with a little ingot of pure copper as a souvenir of the visit. Having seen how the ore is reduced from its crude state Into marketable form as Ingots of pure metal, we were then taken to the mines where an army of men are engaged in digging the ore from the bowels of the earth. Up a heavy grade for a few miles our train puffed its way, until it came to Calumet, the location of the greatest copper mines in the world. Here are the Calumet and Hecla, the Tamarack, and the Osceola mines, surrounded by a population of about forty thousand peo­ ple. Calumet is made up of three big villages under different local govern­ ments. but really forming one consider­ able city, Our train stopped at Osceola and we walked up through a long street formed of shaft nooses (the entrances to the different mines) and powerhouses. We tramped for a long distance through the Calumet and Hecla property alone, look­ ing into ita numerous power houses with their splendid machinery that hauls up the three-ton cages of ore from thou­ sands of feet below, pumps water out of the mines and forces air into them. Fi­ nally >e came to the upper end of the long street where is the largest power house of $11, containing a 7;000 horse power engine, and where the deepest shaft of the group is located, extending 5,800 -feet downward into the earth. After seeing all this stupendous ma­ chinery and wonderful equipment, it is easy to understand how Houghton county, is estimated on the tax rolls of the state second only to Wayne. Returning to Houghton, tired and warm, for the day was the warmest we had experienced on our trip, we were refreshed with a good lunch at the Douglas. Ae Editor Knbx of the Soo, who had done so much for our comfort while in his town, was to leave us and return home, he was presented, at the close of the lunch, with a handsome lit­ tle memento in the shape of a pair of cuff buttons, as a token of how the edi­ tors felt towards him. The presenta­ tion was made by Perry Powers and our victim fittingly acknowledged the gift.

Machine work and adds make short work of fine clothes. Shirts, colJars* and cuffs should be done up with­ out gloss. Insist on the domestic fluish. Have your poke and wing collars ironed flat not curled. All clothing should be carefully hung up, and if you will study your closet and use the modern appliances, which ye easily procured, you can keep a great deal of clothing in good condi­ tion in a very small space. Tbe cheap twisted wire coat racks are- good enough. On these put the -waistcoat and then over the waistcoat put the coat There are also patent trousers hangers w hich keep the trousers press­ ed In shape, but it is much easier to fold your trousers properly and lay them in the bottom of your closet or In a long drawer. A piece of paper should be put be­ tween each pair of trousers, and it will not hurt them if they have to be folded once. In light weight kuitings, such as homespuns and flannels, It is much better to lay tbe trousers out flat in a drawer than to hang them up. ■ All clothing should be carefully brushed and kept as free from dust as possible. Beat three eggs, add three table­ spoonfuls of orange juice and two tea­ spoonfuls of powdered sugar, pour into a buttered frying pan, cook slowly un­ til a crust is formed, fold In half, turn the omelet on a hot platter, sprinkle thickly with powdered sugar, heat a poker till red hot, score the sugar, serve hot Hon to Cure Colds. Here are five cutes for a cold, says Household: Flrat, bathe the feet in hot water and drink a pint of hot lemon­ ade; then sponge with salt water and remain ‘n a warm room. Second, bathe tbe face in very hot wa^er every five minutes for an hour. Third, snuff up the nostrils hot salt water every three hours. Fourth, inhale ammonia or menthol. Fifth, take four hobrs’ ex­ ercise in the open air. A ten grain dose of quinine will usually break up a cold in the beginning^ Anything that will set the blood actively In cir­ culation will do it; but, better than all, if your cold Is inveterate or serious, consult your family doctor, and at once. Cover tbe tomatoes with boiling wa­ ter for half a minute and then put them in cold water until they become per­ fectly cold. When this has been done tbe skin will then come off quite easily and leave the tomato In an unbroken condition and quite 6rm.

Cut board or pasteboard the shape of your form, cover with cloth, tack cloth over board or sew to pasteboard, and yon will have a very good dummy. A good plan when peeling onions Is to put them into a bowl and pour very hot otf boiling water over them. This not only enables them to peel much quicker, but does not affect the eyes. People who have Jewels should re­ member that if turquoises are wetted they are apt to lose color. Pearls should be exposed to light and air as inueb as possible, but not to damp, says Home Notes. Opals must never be exposed to great heat or they may crack and fall from their .setting. Don't forget. this when near the fire if yod happen to wear an opal ring.

These four veterans are Major-Generals A. R. Chaffee, Jo­ seph Wheeler, W. R. Shafter and John C. Bates. Besides these well known men there were several hundreds of lesser officers, whose services in the Spanish and civil wars has been no less gallant, and finally over 1,000 regular soldiers of the United States army. The feature of the first day of the reunion was the parade, which came as near starting on the minuts as any parade that ever got under way in Detroit One thousand United States soldiers spent the night in camp at Woodward and Monterey avenues. Fully 500 more arrived In the morning, bringing the population of the camp np to 1,500. The sight is highly Instruc­ tive, and something in the nature of a revelation to the people of Michigan, accustomed to the luxuries of the state encampments. Th« Live Wire Killed Him. Earl C.

Dear Sir: There was a time when it paid a painter to paint lead and oil, and flght shy of anything else. That was wnen the market was full of ,poor paints, and zinc was unknown. Now zinc has come in. lead and oil must give way—it Is tooshort lived. There are two ways to use zinc; you can mix it with lead in a tub, or buy Devoe Ready Paint, which is ground by machinery If you mix your own lead and zinc, you gain something: if you buy Devoe you gain more, because machinery does netter work than hand mixing. Experience is worth something. We’ve had 146 years of-it. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co. P. S. Fred L. Heath sells Devoe Paint. LOT OF THOSE & Uases FOR 25c. and 50c. AT Michigan Centra! Excursions.

Resolutions Committee Very Remarkable Cure of Diarrhoea. “About six years ago for the first time in my life I bad a sudden and se­ vere attack of diarrhoea/’says Mrs. Alice Miller of Morgan,Texas. “I got temporary relief, out it came back again and again, and for six long years I nave suffered more misery and agony than I can tell. It was worse than death. My husband spent hundreds of dollars for physicians’ prescriptions and treatment without avail. Finally we moved to Bosque county, our pres­ ent home, and one day I happened to see an advertisement of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with a testimonial of a man who bad been cured by it. The case was so sim­ ilar to my own that I concluded to try the remedy. The result was wonder­ ful I could hardly realize that I was well again, or believe it could be so after having suffered so long, but that one bottle of medicine, costing but a few cents, cured me.” For sale by Dawson Bros., druggists.

A Doubtful Experiment. Tbe project of shelving Governor Cummins of Iowa in the vice-presidency is not lacking in political smartness. Gov. Cummins has been a troublesome man In his party, and there is no posi­ tion where a man is likely to make less trouble for bis party than in the vice­ presidency of the United States—al­ ways provided be can be depended upon to stay there. The latter has become an important consideration in the case. Mr. Roosevelt was as harmless as a dove to ali the purposes of politicians until the assassin laid President McKinley low. Since then be has been the cen­ ter of concern for them throughout the nation He has not proved to be any­ thing like the independent man In tbe presidency thet was feared, buttbere is no disposition, we think, to try an ex­ periment upon a more pronounced in­ dependent such as Governor Cummins is likely to prove to be.—Boston Herald. Only Political Claptrap. In view of this, it must fairly be ad­ mitted that the Iowa Idea means as much as it ever meant, but also that it never meant anything more than a form of words to catch votes, for the re­ publican party of Iowa accepted both the McKinley law and the Dingley law, and they both “afforded a shelter to monopoly," and still continued TO do so. If anybody from Iowa should advocate anv real reduction in the tariff in a re­ publican congress he would simply be voted down, if the question were e'er allowed income to a vote. But there is nothing In tbe declaration promising any reduction of the tariff, and there is no reason for supposing that the Iowa Idea has ever been more than political claptrap. -Jackson Patriot Beyond Reason.

The attention of (Jovernor Bliss is re­ spectfully called to the above section In behalf of Tax Commissioners Freeman and Sayre and he is publicly asked to explain’the incredible chastisement be meted out to those two officials. It is true that they betrayed the state's trust by giving aid and comfort to the rail­ roads and equally true that they vio­ lated Lheir oaths of office, and that Dearly every republican paper in the state, as well as tbe attorney general and auditor general, has demanded their removal from office, but no one has advocated anything more harsh. To be actually reprimanded, and by Gov­ ernor Bliss, is beyond all reason. It is as bad as being slapped upon the wrist. —Grand Rapids Press. The Pope and Temporal Power. The real rights of the papacy in the matter of a restitution of temporal power constitute a matter for the con­ sideration of those who feel themselves aggrieved by the present position of affairs. But looking upon the matter from a disinterested point of view and in the light of results accomplished, tbe out­ side world is likely to agree that tbe visible head of the church is sure to wield greater power for good acd to arouse the greater enthusiastic respect and admiration of nations if his reign shall be like that of Pope Leo XIII.— Grand Rapids Post.

Far sole by Dawson Bro*., drugghte. at W H Goodyear's drug store cruising about oo a government reve­ nue cutter txJt so reatricted are the powers of acting PoMmester General Wynne that Mr. Payne left the signed discharge of Charles Hedges when he went away so that if the result of Four­ th Assistant Postmaster General Bris­ tow’s investigation proved dishonesty on Hedge’s part he could be gotten rid of without awaiting Mr. Payne’s re­ turn. Charles Hedges, superintendent of city delivery, has been summarily dis­ missed for falsifying his pay account. While the charges against Hedges are ample to warrant bis dismissal it is noteworthy that an old case, over three years old, was dug up and made the ground for his dismissal when there were far more serious grounds of re­ cent occurrence on whion his discharge might hare been based. The reason for going back so far and taking up a comparatively insignificant charge is that Hedge’s subsequent irregularities involved H. H. Rand, tbe confidential clerk of the postmaster general, whose pecadllloes it was not desired to reveal. Nevertheless, Mr. Bristow has now taken up the case of Rand and is in­ vestigating the numerous charges against him. Mr. Bristow's position in the matter is a very delicate one and there is some doubt as to whether he will have the courage to make a report recommending the dismissal of the postmaster general’s pet employee. George W. Beavers has, since my last letter, been indicted for accepting com­ missions from the Brandt-Dent Auto matlc Cashier Company but has not yet been arrested. It has long been be­ lieved by the postal officials that Beavers was guilty ef serious delin­ quencies although his tracks were so cleverly covered as to make their proof in court very difficult. Several more indictments by tbe grand jury of the District of Columbia are anticipated within a few days and some new indict­ ments have been returned by the Brooklyn grand jury although it is not positively known against whom they were rendered. President Roosevelt has found him­ self in an extremely delicate position in his relations with organized labor. Public Printer Palmer recently dis­ charged William Mi'.ler, an assistant foreman of the book binding depart­ ment. because he had been expelled by the union. Miller appealed toitbe pres­ ident and to the civil service commis­ sion with tbe result that the latter found his dismissal was unlawful and tbe president ordered his reinstate­ ment, Tbe union promptly held a meeting at which It was determined to file with the president charges against Miller, and to declare that the book­ binders could not work with a non­ union man, but would be compelled to go on strike if Miller resumed his duties. Miller is expected to return to work today and the outcome is awaited with Interest. Tbe local union of bookbinders has a peculiar rule where­ by tbe amount of work which each man is allowed to perform per day is limited. Milier insisted that the men perform more work aud so incurred tbe dis­ pleasure of the union. Mr. Roosevelt has issued a declaration that In the de­ partments of the government there shall be no discrimination between union and non-union labor. In other words, tbe union of tbe states is still su­ preme. The chargee of the union against Miller the president has refus­ ed to consider, shilling all further re­ sponsibility on Public Printer Palmer. A report’ comes from Oyster Bay to the effect that Speaker-to be Cannon, after a conference with the president, agreed to withdraw his opposition to the consideration of all financial legis­ lation at the next session of congress. There is some scepticism regarding this report however. Persons who know Mr. Cannon well declare that he would never have receded from his po­ sition without some very valuable promises from the president. Of course if Mr. Roosevelt was ready to place a considerable amount of patron­ age at the disposal of the prospective speaker he could obtain from the latter a promise to do or not to do anyt hing at all. On the other band, it is pointed out that a promite from the speak­ er to withhold opposition means noth­ ing because tbe speaker does not have to oppose legislation. His mere neg­ lect means its defeat. Mr. Roosevelt’s sudden interest in financial legislation Is taken to indicate bis desire to regain popularity with Wall street and it is interesting to note that his interest and advocacy of such legislation dates entirely from a lone conference at the white house participated in by the pres­ ident, Senator Hanna and G. W. Per­ kins, a partner of J. P. Morgan «5c Co. Tbe news comes from Indiana that the republicans of that state are anxious to have Senator Beveridge made vice-president so as to make room for Governor Durbin whom they wish to send to the senate in place of tbe “boy orator” of whom his col­ leagues have grown very weary and whose usefulness has, therefore, vir­ tually ended. Of course Beveridge will stenuonsly oppose the movement to nominate him for second place but his wishes may not be consulted. Licensed to Wed. Gilbert J.

Tbe Herald wishes to call especial attention to the “mothers' rally,” u>be held in connection with the teachers’ institute next Thursday afternoon, un­ der the conduct of Miss Marsh of De­ troit. Miss Marsh is an enthusiastic believer in the theory that the boys and girls should be given something to do at home, so as to keep them off the streets nights. It is the purpose of the mothers’ rally to call tbe attention of parents to some of the things which can be done to interest and employ tbe boys and girls so as to keep them at home. She and her sister, Miss Harriet Marsh, principal of the Hancock school Detroit, have accomplished much in this philanthropic direction in thier own neighborhood. Undoubtedly the talk next Thursday afternoon at the high school building will be very suggestive and helpful.. It is a subject that should appeal strongly to the hearts of parents and we hope Miss Marsh’s talk will be well attended. Reed’s Lake, Kent Co., Mich. Sept. 22. 1802. John W.

SECRETARY By Katherine M'DooaM Copyright, 1MB, by T. C. McClure The secretary sat in bls office and fumed at the heat He was born in a Hoosier log cabin and had attended a college of the northwest He had gone to housekeeping to a little old mossy cottage for which he found it difficult at times to pay $8 a month rental. Yet at fifty he sat In that noble room whose Jong window’s let in the breeze from the Potomac and framed a view In­ comparable for the mingling of natural and artificial beauty—sat and fumed at the heat Williams, the messenger, entered. He was like most negroes, a fqrt of human barometer, and he never failed to suit his bearing to his mas­ ter’s humor. On this occasion he was obsequious, patient but bored. “That woman's still theah, boss,” be said. "Didn't I tell you to get rid of her?" "Yassah; I been tryin’. but she’s a stayer. Fust time I done like you say— I told her ‘Mr. Bec’tary’s engaged.’ ‘Tell him I’ll wait until he is at liberty,' she say, like she de lady of the lan’ herself. Next time I say, 'Beg yo’ pahdon, madam, for not tellln’ yo' sooner, but Mr. Sec'tary he's out’ and she look up and «ay, ‘Tell him I'll wait untli he comes In.’ Yassah. she say them iden­ tical words.” “What kind of looking woman is she, William—young and saucy?" “No; she gettln’ long t’wa’ds middle life, sab, and she mighty shabby. Still. I ain’t say but she is got a quality eye, and she do ho*’ her head up mightily." "Oh, well,’’ said the secretary, with a sigh of resignation, "I'll see her and The woman William ushered in was shabby. Not only were ber clothes worn and rusty, but they had never been either fine or tasteful. Your lady i in temporary straits always has some bit of faded elegance to prove that she has seen better days. This woman was clearly the habitual patron of bargain counters when she bought at all. Still, us William had said, she carried her head high—a noble head, with bold, clear lines and a mess of soft, well kept hair. The secretary arose, and they faced each other for one silent moment, she surveying him with a calm and friendly air. he dazed by the glimmering apparition of a younger and brighter presence which came between them. , "Can this be Laura Camden?” be asked. Her eyes filled at all his tone implied. For an instant her bearing changed—she lost her courage—then she threw up her head, with a defiant laugh. “This is all that is left of her. And is this Tom Lloyd?" She swept the room with a calculating glance. It was as If she estimated the cost of the massive table and rich chairs. Instantly she turned her eyes back upon the secre­ tary as If to measure him. He flushed and rallied. "Yes; this Is Tom Lloyd, the fellow you wouldn’t have, you know.” "Well!” she laughed Impenitently. then sank Into the chair nearest her and ran a furtive, appreciative finger over the tapestry covering. "You married Tucker Barton?” he asked. "Oh, yes! And he turned out as every one predicted. I look the character, don’t I—a drunkard’s widow who has neither hope nor pride left?" Her voice rang dear—no tremor of self pity, no note of shame or appeal. “By Jove," tbe secretary said to him­ self, “this Is Laura, and she’s got the old spirit In her still!” “Can I do anything for you?" he asked. “Why, yes, if you will. Of course I didn’t come merely to call—nor to re­ call. I want a place to one of the de­ partments.” “What kind of a place?” “I’m not particular,” she said coolly. “You know very well I have neither talent nor training. You will have to treat me as if I were a political hench­ man and find me something which will require neither. I could keep accounts, but I think I should like to be to the library. There is a ladles’ room, you know, as well as women attendants." “But that is such a menial place.” She spread out her hands, brown and knotted and calloused. He drew back in a sort of shame and would have hid­ den his own had he dared. They were too white and soft and prosperous to Be to full sight on the table before her. “The wages are small—not more than $60 or $75 a month.” “Not more!” She looked at him with glittering eyes. Her voice trembled now and seemed to express want and de­ spair and resentment together. “Tom Lloyd! Sixty dollars a month—every month? That would be riches to me!” He shrank back to the chair. “Lau­ ra," be said, “why have you never come before? You live to Washington, and you might have come.

When you have done this tie the loose ends into a smaller loop, which need not be larger than sufficient to admit the point of a pencil. Now place the larger loop over the two pins and. putting the point of your pencil through the smaller loop, stretch tbe string as far as It will go and circle all around the pirx You will find that in moving from one pin to the other the string forms an ever varying triangle and that the figure described in passing all around tbe pins is as per­ fect an oval as the most delicate instru­ ment can produce. ttons about the a hat," said a fashionable hatter. “In fact, they are so whimsical about it that we make tbe bats without a ven­ tilator and try to ault tbe wishes of the customer after be has handed his money to the salesman. Many custom­ ers will not have a hat ventilated at all. Well, they min a great deal of comfort and take long chances for baldness in old age. Tbe English style, and the only one that some buyers will adopt, is a ring of perforated holes in the crown of tbe hat In my opinion it is just as well to have no ventilator at all aa to put it there. The best way is to have two holes, one on each side of the bat, just above the band. Then you get good circulation all the time. There are ways of punching the holes artistically so that they do not detract from the appearance of the hat But you would be surprised at the number of men who will not have them, some because it is not fashionable and oth­ ers because they think the hat will not wear so well.’’—New York Times. A Funoui PuddlM*. There Is no other pudding on earth to which so much honor Is paid as the huge beefsteak pudding served up daily at the most famous tavern in London. Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, in Fleet street. This pudding has been served up every day without break for nearly 200 years. Garrick, Goldsmith and Dr. Johnson used to enjoy it. Every great writer In England makes a point of eating It today. It is inseparably associated with English literature. Every evening after the pudding Is cooked there Is a solemn procession. The proprietor of the tavern, bearing the pudding on a big dish, goes first, followed by the cooks, the waiters and the entire staff. They bear the pud­ ding ail around the tavern, the cus­ tomers doing homage to it Then and not till then it may be cut up and eaten. Why is gold so rare? Simply because it is heavy. There are only two metals that are heavier—namely, platinum and iridium. Remember that at the begin­ ning the earth was a body of gas. By gradual condensation it became liquid, while now the whole of its mass save only an outer crust much thinner in prdportlon to the whole bulk than is the shell of an egg would be a fluid but for the fact that it is held together by tre­ mendous pressure. Naturally in the course of its formation about a center of attraction the weightier particles composing tbe globe gathered about that center. Accordingly we find that the earth as a whole weighs five times as much as water, while the rocks forming tbe crust are only about two and a half times as heavy as water.

Inter- in the last few years 8lble to rear a greater number of suit­ abie market chickens than can be sold with profit Last year there were not sufficient chickens sold in Canada to supply the home markets. As a result of the shortage of chickens the trade with Great Britain w». IcMcned. Thia is nnfortnnuM unfortunate nn on anmnnt account nf of thn the arrest great demand for Canadian chickens in Great Britain and the good prices that are paid. There are also numerous calls for Canadian chickens from Cape Col•yy, Australia and Nqw York. The chief of the poultry division, Mr. F. C. Hare, states that numerous let­ ters have been received from produce merchants, poulterers and commission merchants who desire to learn in what localities chickens can be bought in great numbers and at reasonable prices. From several Canadian cities, and espe­ cially from Montreal, produce firms have asked to be Informed where mar­ ket , chickens suitable for shipping to Great Britain could be obtained in the greatest numbers. British poulterers and commission merchants have re­ peatedly asked for the san^e informa­ tion. The problem of supplying this won­ derfully increased demand for chick­ ens can be solved by the farmers alone. Instead of the farmer rearing fifty or a hundred chickens that receive little at­ tention or feed he should rear .from 200 to 1,000 chickens annually. These should be of a utility type, such as can be found in the popular breeds Plym­ outh Rocks and Wyandottes. The chickens should be hatched and reared by incubators and brooders, and when ready for market the cockerels should be placed in fattening crates and fat­ tened. The equipment required to do this work is not an expensive one; $200 to $250 to the cost of Incubators, brood­ ers, houses and fattening crates for fin­ ishing 1,000 chickens. It Is as necessa­ ry for realizing the greatest profits from the poultry business as thrashing and mowing* machinery is for general farming. The work connected with fin­ ishing 1,000 chickens with the proper appliances to no more than is necessa­ ry for rearing 200 chickens by the nat­ ural means. Poultry farming to a busi­ ness that requires to be developed in the same manner as the butter, cheese and fruit branches. A substantial profit can be made from the poultry business when it is carried on as an adjunct to farming and with the same careful at­ tention and financing. The Dominion department of agricul­ ture is endeavoring to increase the poultry trade of Canada, to encourage the growing of the greatest number of high class chickens and to assist in the marketing of them. urlu luvtv Umu* Uua lot JuUt own use. Now add to this the amount of droppings in litter, which should bo saved, and we have at least 5 cents more, or 80 cento per hen each year. Allowing that it costs $1 to keep a hen a year, our hen has paid us near­ ly one-third of her keep in tbe be'xt fertiliser on earth. What other live stock on the farm will do this? Now aa our hen has paid us 30 cento in fertilizer and it costs us JI to keep I ber, we must get 70 cents from her bej fore we make any money. Let us flgare eggs at 20 cento per dozen, 1 -which - -­ Is a fair average, and we must get three and a half dozen of eggs from each hen before we begin to realize a profit As we are figuring on a basis of eggs, let us say that our hen is a Leghorn. The average Leghorn will lay twelve dozen eggs a year, and after deducting tbe three and a half dozen we have left eight and a half dozen eggs at 20 cents per dozen, or $1.70 as net profit. But wait a minute. Re­ member our hen is a thoroughbred Leghorn (we would keep nothing but thoroughbred birds), so we may sell a dozen of her eggs at $2 for hatching, thus Increasing our profit $1-80, mak­ ing it $3.50, or she might hatch us a brood of ten chicks worth at least $2 and give us tbe same result I know that under ordinary circum­ stances it does not cost a dollar to keep a Leghorn hen a year, and I know that If one Is careful In selecting his breed­ ing stock be can build up a strain of Leghorns that will lay fourteen or fif­ teen doztft eggs a year Instead of twelve and that by catering to a fancy trade he can average 25 or 30 cents per dozen Instead of 20 cents, but I only wished to take a fair average to prove that “biddy" Is a money maker when properly cared for and given due credit for what she produces.—8. E. Smith In Reliable Poultry Journal. Have you silvery white hair of which you are justly proud? The silvery or snowy head Is unusual and should be valued at its proper worth.

After Looking Over the Ground and Careful Consideration He Has . Decided to Stay in Hostings. It is not every day that an appoint­ ment to a position on the federal bench, carrying with it a handsome salary is tendered by the president of the Unit­ ed States to a lawver, however able he may be in his profession, nor can it be said that when such an honor is offered it is usually declined. But Judge Clement Smith of this city has met with this experience. As is well known Judge Smith was named by the president for the vacant position on the federal bench of the territory of New Mexico several month* ago, and he has given the matter care­ ful consideration and investigation be­ fore deciding whether to accept or not. Two weeks ago, accompanied by Mrs. Smith, he went to New Mexico and went over the territory included with­ in the jurisdiction of the fifth district to which he bad been appointed, re­ turning home Monday afternoon. “Everywhere” the judge said to a Her­ ald representative, “we were received most cordially and were most hand­ somely entertained.” But in spite of the flattering offer which, meant a salary of $4500, the judge has decided since returning home, to decline tbe appointment and remain in Hastings, He has been in­ fluenced largely in coming to this de­ cision as he informa tbe Herald, by the probability that the territory of New Mexico is likely to become a state in tbe near future. When that time comes, ail but one or two of the federal judges will be legislated out of offioe, and as tbe other judges have been longest in office they will naturally Jbe entitled to a preference in the re-ad­ justment of the courts, both federal and state supreme court. Among other reasons that influenced tbe judge were the fact that be would have to abandon the good position which he already holds and sever all the ties of business, social and home associations which bold him in this community. The Herald is confident that it ex­ presses tbe common sentiment of the people of Hastings and of the whole fifth judicial circuit when it expresses ?[ratification that Judge Smith and his amilv have decided to remain in Michigan Obituary. Last evening at 10:00 o’clock Mrs. Susiana Blakney passed away, at the age of 67 years.

Most dictionaries, however, led astray probably by tbe ordinary orthography, Have missed tbe true etymology of this phrase. It should be "belter kelte?.” "Helter" is an old word for “bang," probably connected with halter, and "kelter" is used by old writers in tbe sense of "order" or the proper state. Thus Barrow, the divine, says, "If the organa of prayer be out of kelter how can we pray?” "Helter skelter," therefore, is literal­ ly “hang order" and means, “Ob, hang order; let us do It, or let it take its chance.” Ben Jonson In "Every Man In His Humor” writes, "Helter skelter, hang sorrow, care’ll kill a cat," and Shakespeare, using It to express rush and hurry, says, "Helter skelter have to thee.” Mid-Summer Excursion, Saturday, Lomiatticiag at a point 20 rd.

Creek. D. K. Titman, Agent. "Helter skelter” has been suggestive­ ly defined as a jingling expression, vaguely Imitating the hurried clatter of feet rapidly and Irregu’arly moved. Most dictionaries, however, led astray probably by the ordinary orthography, Via vo missed tbe true etymology of this phrase. It should be “belter kelter:” "Helter” is an old word for "hang," probably connected with halter, and "kelter" Is used by old writers in tbe bcdm of "order” or tbe proper state. Thus Barrow, the divine. Bays, “If the organs of prayer be out of kelter bow can we pray?" "Helter skelter,” therefore, la literal­ ly “bang order" and meana. "Oh, hang order: let us do it, or let it take its chance." Ben Jonson in “Every Man In His Humor” write*.

He was a native of Granville and dur­ ing the ’40’® was known as the cham­ pion skunk hunter and trapper of northern New Tork. Deuel hunted the ill-smelling pole­ cats for the value of It® pelt When Deuel proposed marriage to Amanda Delong, a village belle?'the latter re­ luctantly refused "on account of the nauseating nature of Deuel’s business, aggravated by the cruel comment of her friends. Deuel pleaded piteously, but In vain, and In a frenziea moment left Granville, vowing that Miss De­ tong would rue the day of her refusal. He joined the exodus of gold-fevered men for Australia and kept his address and good fortune in mining a secret until his death a few weeks since. Miss'Delong died twenty-five years ago, in Granville, never having mar.tied, because, as she claimed in death, She could love none other than Ia*w1b Deuel. Assailant BOTH HEIRS 10 GERMAN ESTATE Mother InalMs Her ton Waa MurdaraO and Accuse* Neighbor of Commit­ ting Crims, but She is Unable to Bocure Arrest Bottle Creek* Mich., Aug. 8.—The dis­ appearance of Albert Cole from his home in Marshall, a small town near here, and a mysterious attack on his sister, Mrs. May Wood, a resident of this city, are problems that are puz­ zling the authorities in this section. The brother and sister each had re­ ceived an unexpected bequest ot $20,­ 000 from their grandfather in Ger­ many recently, and this circumstance is taken to have soma connection with the two mysteries. Cole’s mother insists, the youth was murdered and she names a neighbor aa her eon’s slayer. She has gone so far aa to ask a warrant for the man’s arrest, but it' was refused, as she had no tangible evidence to sustain her charge. Throw Acid on Woman. The police of this city had been no­ tified of Cole’s disappearance and were working on the case for severa^ days, when the affair was complicated Sat­ urday night by the attack on Mrs Wood. The woman was seized while in the yard at her home by a man who had hidden in the shrubbery and whom she could not recognize in the dark­ ness. When Mrs Wood called for help the man dashed the contents of a bottle of carbolic acid in her face and fled. Efforts to locate the woman's assail­ ant are fruitless. When young Cole, who lived with his parents In Marshall, did not re­ turn to his home on Saturday a week ago, hi® mother at once declared he had been killed, ^he named the man she believed guilty and demanded that his cellar aj)d the fair grounds be searched for tbe youth's body.

Cardinal Sarto Judge Lochren’s Decision. Tbe decision ot Judge Lochren in the merger cases brought against the Nort hern Securities Co. by tbe state of Misnesota is an illustration of the way in which a train of abstract reasoning a* elucidated by a learned judge may be entirely at variance with the oonclusions of non-professiohal minds based upon conditions instead of theories. Tbe state of Minnesota has a law for­ bidding the consolidation of parallel and competing lines of railway. The Great r ] J£ More than Are billion pounds of uuger were imported into tbe United States during the fiscal year just ended, a larger amount than for any preceding year. The domestic fproduct for the same time Is estimated at 600.000,000 pounds or 10.3 per cent, of tbe total supply. These figures ought to be a convinc­ ing reply to tbe beet sugar manufactur­ ers who fought tbe Cuban reciprocity measure so energetically last winter. These highly protected people claimed thpt to lower the duty on Cuban sugar would ruin their business. And yet all tbe sugar which this country produces supplies but a tenth part of tbe demand, over five billion pounds having to be im­ ported in addition to what Is produced at home. Surely there is no danger of losing the home market when all tbe American producers can supply makes but a tithe of what is needed. Nor is it reasonable to maintain that the home producers cannot compete with foreign raised sugar, when to the original cost must be added the trans­ portation charges and cost of refining. American push and improved methods can easily compensate for tbe cheap la­ bor of foreign sugar-produclng coun­ tries. In the light of these facts itcertaiuly Is poor logic to maintain that even a slight reduction of the duty upon the sugar of only one country, Cuba, would ruin the beet sugar Industry in Michi­ gan. A nd yet the beet sugar magnates of Michigan went down to Washington last winter and plead for an act of gross injustice towards Cuba In order to save their own “infant industry!” Northern and the Northern Pacific rail­ ways come under this head, and if they ■attempted to consolidate, directly, no one oould deny that they would be in violation of the law. ’ * But they have indirectly done this I very thing. James J. Hill, controlling a majority of the stock in both roads, organized a new company, called the “Northern Securities Company,” and transferred his stock to it. His oatensible purpose as everybody admits was to evade the spirit ot the anti-merger law, and the state Of Minnesota claimed that Hill had violated this law and asked for an injunction restraining the Northern Securities Company from voting the stock of the two railroad companies, for the control of which it was evidently formed. Judge Lochroa, in his decision refus­ ing to issue the Injunction, says that “the Northern Securities Co. is merely an investor in and owner of stock of each of these two railroad compcnies. It has done no act and made no contract in restraint of trade or commerce.” • • • . * “I am compelled to reject the doctrine that a person can be held to A Travesty Upon Justice. have committed, or to be purposing and about to commit, a highly penal offense, There seems to be a well authenti­ merely because it can be shown tha t cated rumor in circulation to the effect bls peculiar interests will be hereby ad­ that the governor is seriously contem­ vanced, and that he has the power plating the pardon or parole of Frank either directly by himself, or Indirectly C.

From the accounts given in the daily press of the new pope, who will be known hereafter by bls pontlficial title as Pius X, it would appear that His Holiness Is eminently fitted to succeed Leo XIII. Scholarly, broad minded and spiritual, he is said to be in sym­ pathy with the policy of his immediate predecessor, and his record and charac­ ter give ground for tbe belief that his rule will be characterized by tbe satee dignity, ability and broad-mindedness that have caused tbe whole Christian world to do honor to Leo XIII.

Like all the buildings in tbe settlement tbe dwell­ ing was a rude structure of unhewn logs. But the neat appearance of tbe sur­ roundings. a vine-covered entrance, tbe white-washed stones that lined tbe path to tbe door,—all betokened neat and tbriftv occupant*. Entering the low portal one found oneself Ln a Large room which served for kitchen, dining-room and parlor. The large fire place oppo­ site the entrance with it* cranes and its pots, it* shining brass andirons and wide, clean-swept hearth; the cupboard shelves adorned with those quaintly decorated plates and platters, cups and saucers which today are so much ad­ mired by lovers of antique bric-a-brac; the book-shelf filled witn religious vol­ umes and a few master pieces of English literature; a half dozen portraits in oil, preserving the lineaments of grave­ looking ancestors; the clean, white­ washed walls, the old-fashioned musket and powder-horn hanging on the wall, the spinning-wheel in the corner—all these gave evidence to the nature of the room, as the general living room of a pioneer family, poor and humble, In­ deed, but not without an air of comfort and refinement that suggested good breeding and better days in the past. Mrs. Appleton, in fact, had seen beu ter days. She belonged to a well-to-do English family and had been raised in an atmosphere of wealth and refine­ ment. But contrary to the wishes and expectations of her family, she had mar­ ried John Appleton, a man in much lower station than her own, but to whom sbe had been attracted by his sterli sterling s i,e fed character and deeply religious life, so thoroughly In accord with her own re­ ligious nature. Appleton was a mem­ ber ot the society of Friends and soon after their marriage the young Quaker and his bride emigrated to tbe far dis­ tant colony of Pennsylvania and jettied on the extreme borders of civiliza­ tion. After a few years of hardship and struggle, such as we of the twentieth century can hardly Imagine, Mr. Apple­ ton was killed by a falling tree, and Mrs. Appleton was left a widow with her son. Joshua, then eight years of age as her only hope and solace. Through the assistance of her kind neighbors she had managed to supply the simple want* of frontier life until Joshua's growing muscles and natural energy enabled him k> do almost the work of a full-grown man. During these years of bodily growth Mrs. Apple­ ton had not. neglected to cultivate her sons's mental and moral nature, and the study of tbe Bible and of Lhe ele ments of a common education went hand in hand with the duties of wrest­ ing a subsistence from the stump-cover­ ed soil. i To be Continued. 1 I have oome through the woods eight leagues since the moon sank this morn­ AN INDIAN BOY’S WARNING. ing behind tbe western hills.

Any number of boys and girl* may take part in It, but they must be divid­ ed Into two sides. Perhaps the best way to arrange It is to select two lead­ ers aijd let them select the sides. That would prevent confusion. The sides take seats In two rows facing each other, the leaders heading the rows. When everything is ready the leaders decide by lot which shall begin the game. They ajso decide ■what shall be the subject of the game, whether dtfes, towns, mountains, lakes or rivers, for the subject must be some­ thing of a geographical nature. Let us suppose that cities is tbe sub­ ject selected. Then the leader who is to start the game names a dty and be­ gins to count ten slowly. The leader on the opposite aide must give the loca­ tion of that dty before ten has been counted. If he falls to do so or if be gives tbe wrong location he .leaves his chair and drops out of the game. If. on the contrary, he gives the right answer before bls opponent can finish counting ten he In turn then names a dty, and the player sitting opposite to film on the other side has to answer while he counts ten. The game goes on In this way until all the players have dropped out but one, and that one wins the prize, if n prize has been offered. The game may be varied and made more Interesting by changing the sub­ ject after playing It once. If cities be the first subject let rivers be the next and then lakes and mountains, and these changes will keep the play from becoming monotonous.

They also enforce quarantine regula­ tions, examine ships' papers, supply lighthouses and act aa life savers, am­ bulance corps, lire department and mes­ senger boys generally for the govern­ ment at sea. Tbe first revenue cutters were built at tbe order of Alexander Hamilton when he was secretary of the treasury, and except in war time, when they are subject to the authority of the navy, they are still under treasury depart­ ment orders. Strange to say. however, it is in times of peace that revenue cut­ ters fight their hardest battles. They save many lives and property that is es­ timated at many millions yearly. Their name gives little idea of the great and varied service they render the country. The Russian marshal Suvaroff was famous as a Jester and was fond of confusing the men under bis command by asking them unexpected and ab­ surd questions. But occasionally he met his match.

JUST LET US ALONE; THAT IS THE WHOLE STORY. Let wi alone to tettle this mat­ ter ourselves without interference, and the beat interest of the whites and the blacks will be taken care of. BY LETTING US ALONE I MEAN, FOR INSTANCE, THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO APPOINTMENT OF NEGROES TO ANY IMPOR­ TANT FEDERAL POSITION IN WHITE COMMUNITIES. There is no possible objection to the colored man going into subordinate positions in the civil service, like letter carriers. He is fitted for that kind of work, but be is not fitted for the impor­ tant places to which he is appointed by Republican presidents. Remove the fear of legal domination, and the southern states will at once split up on ordinary economic lines, and several of them will surely go Republican.' When the people of the north understand this situation the so called negro question will be dis­ posed of and not before. THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA HAVE AT NO TIME BEEN AFRAID OF AN INTELLIGENT NEGRO VOTE. IT IS THE RULE OF THE IGNORANT AND THE VICIOUS WE FEAR. The best thought of the south, the men who are in the fore­ front of its modem progress, know it is not best to have only one party. Feeling, however, that the negro ques­ tion is the paramount issue, we settle all of our jpolitical fights in the white primary, so that the Points Cuba actual vote cast at an election is but a fraction of that put into the ballot of the primary, and the result is that the white voters of Georgia form a single political party. The negroes know this, and hence they make no attempt to vote. The negro makes an excellent artisan, and by supplying him with work for which he is adapted we are doing the proper thing to solve the so called negro question, which is not a race question so much "!*• Aware MU Rt*di. as one of the adjustment of social differences.

To woman we look for all the virtues of humanity, and we are less liable to disappointment than when we look for them in a man. They are better citizens, as in the larger cities the proportion of arrests is one woman to seven men, and the proportion is still less in the rural districts, and we seldom ever see a female tramp. There is no one gifted with ordinary intelligence and observa­ tion who will deny for a moment that the average woman, given a chance and encouragement, would be as capable of casting an intelligent vote as the average negro, the average foreigner reared among the monarchies of the old world or even the average Amer­ ican, and yet we invite all these to come and take part in our gov­ ernment WHILE WE DENY THAT RIGHT TO OUR MAR­ THA WASHINGTONS, OUR GRACE DARLINGS, OUR CLARA BARTONS AND HELEN GOULDS.

In the universe wherever there is life there is activity- This is true in tbe vegetable, the nntmal and tbe human worlds. This activity is a necessity which runs through all organic life. Tbe life that is not crowned with en­ nobling work of some kind, either for one's own livelihood or for tbe good of others, is an empty life—an abnormal life. Work is natural: Idleness unnatural. Work builds up. and inactivity tears down. Idleness is a violation of our being. Hence it is unmoral. There are manifold reasons why we should work and no reason why we should not Those who are not obliged to labor for their dally bread should choose work of some kind in obedience to the universal law that we see run­ ning all creation.

A certain surgeon bad three leg am­ putation cases in a week. Tbe unusual number of serious and similar opera­ tions naturally caused talk in the sur­ geon’s household, and his little daugh­ ter was greatly Interested. A few days after the last operation the surgeon’s wife and daughter were rummaging in the attic. In a trunk was found a daguerreotype depicting a girl of about eight years of age. The portrait through a peculiarity of pose showed only one leg of the subject, the other being doubled up under her in a man­ ner truly feminine. ’’Whose picture is that, mamma?” asked tbe surgeon's daughter. “Mine. It was taken when* I was a child not much older than you are now.” “Did you know papa then?” “No, dear. Why do you ask?' ”1 thought maybe you did 'cause you’ve only got one leg.” The Macedonian was sent to tbe Brooklyn navy yard to have a new mast put into tier. Old Jack Btady bossed the yard then, and Captain Hudson was commandant. When the job was finished and the ship was about to sail Jack called on tbe com mandant. "Captain,” he said, "I've axed you few favors in my time, but I'm goin' to bother you with one now When old Jack goes to Davy Jones’ locker he wants you to send him below in a box made out of that ol$l mast Will you do It. sir?" Tbe captain promised. Old Jack died n?t long after­ ward. and Hudson was as good as hi: word. Tbe mast was cut down and sawed into boards, and tbe honest sou! was buried in a coffin made of them. Miss Arabella Paxton had long since said goodby to her youth, but nobody had accused her of doing it with resig­ nation. "What wen* you thinking of lo start Cousin Arabella off In that merry go round?” asked Mrs. Jennings at the county fair. She had just received her dizzy and disheveled relative at the end of a trip on the flying horses. “You n**edn't look so severe at me.” said Mr. Jennings reproachfully w^en Cousin Arabella had been deposited on a settee and left to recover her equilib­ rium. “She heard a woman say the machine was enough to scare anybody out of ten years’ growth, and alter that sbe was possessed to ride in It.” An Arabian bride Is arrayed In all her dresses, one over the other Sbe If perched on a high stool, so that they all hang down over it, and one by onr they are taken off with much display, and admiring comment from the guests.

United States or any officer or person author­ ized to make contracts on the part of the United States.” The- evidence, being Littauer's own statement, made In bls own handwrit­ ing, must be regarded as unimpeachable and it proves that Littauer has been guilty of of. the' ’ ’ "’ ' **■ the same ’ violationof the United States statute 1*>r which e^-^ppqgressman Edmund EL < Jriggs has been aaaa.aa.pw wj Ua w»lyD gFaUd jUVV. When the facts in this Case were made public Secretary Root ordered an in­ vestigation but in issuing instructions to the officer charged with the investi­ gation, Mr. Root merely instructed him to ascertain if the contract was award­ ed to the lowest bidder The presi­ dent promised a “full and fair investi­ gation believed to be anything but “full and fair”, not of his own volition but because bis powers were limited by Secretary Root, his superior. Lawyers have appeared before the secretary to plead leniency for Littauer and it is feared that their client’s close associa­ tion with the president will affect the interest, but it cannot avoid reflecting that in the case of Driggs the investi­ gation was conducted by the grand jury and that Mr. Driggs, on less positive evidence, will be compelled to stand trial in a court of justice. A.development in the postoffice in­ vestigation regarded hy tne officials as the most sensational they have as yet unearthed has just come to light through tho indictment by the District of Columbia grand jury, of August W. Machen, former superintendent of free delivery, on several new counts and the simultaneous indictment of seven of his confederates, the evidence presented to the jury showing that Machen and hir partners In crime had entered into four contracts whereby the government was swindled out of a sum estimated at $75,­ 000. In two Instances Machen awarded contracts for carriers* rffchels, or bags. The. specifications called for shoulder straps and tbe price was made to in­ clude them. Machen then purchased the shoulder strape from another source, paid for them with government funds and furnished them to the manufactur­ ers of the satchels, securing from the latter the amount thus sawed them, ap­ proximately 25 cents per strap, which he and his con federates divided between themselves. In another instance, Mach­ en placed a contract for small leather cases used by carriers, without lasking for bids, and caused the government to pay 90 cents each for the cases but se­ cured a refund to himself and his pals of 60 cents on each ease. In the last in­ stance, Machen awarded to the Mayor of Lockhaven, Pa., a contract for paint­ ing mail boxes which the manufactur­ ers were required to paint. In this in­ stance he anti his associates divived pro­ fits of $18,000. In addition to officials and others who had already been in­ dicted the grand jury returned true bills against William C. Long, a Wash­ ing umlan who comes from Ohio and who claims to .bo a protege of Senator Hantja< Maurice Runkle of New York, John T. C'upper, mayor of Lockhaven, Pa., and . william Gordon Crawford, manager of the Postal Device A Lock Company of New York. Crawford hav­ ing been at one time deputy auditor for the poetoffice department artfl being at this time a member of the most exclu­ sive club In Washington. The president has determined to make an investigation into the methods and transactions of the government printing office with a view to ascertain­ ing why the expense of printing and binding in that institution exceeds, by from to 150 per cent, the cost of the same work ■ n private institutions. It is intimated In some quarters that such an investigation will reveal grave scan­ dals but every officer of the administra­ tion who has to do with the government printing office welcomes the prospect of a reform of its methods, even should no corruption be discovered. This Inves­ tigation grows out of the c&ae of Will­ iam Miller who was expelled by the bookbinders’ union and whom Public Printer Palmer discharged on that ac­ count. Miller has been1 reinstated and Palmer is supposed to be Investigating nety charges filed against him by Lhe officers of the union.

Have some way .to keep boys at home and amuse them, and there will be fewer boys going »o the bad.” Friday found a large number of teachers again in the room. Speaking of the way In which boys get the ad­ vantage of teacher?, Mr. Simmons said’: “When I went to school it was always hard work for me to write good compo­ sitions, but there was a girl sat away over in tbe other corner of the room who could correct them for me.'The auestion was to get them over to her. tur teacher was a nervous fellow, and every morning he would call his wan­ ing class and then begin to tramp Up, and down the aisles going the rounds i in regular order. So I wrote my com­ position and put a pin through the top i of it. When he went past my seat I bitched this to his coat tail and he carried it over to the girl who was go­ ing to correct it. When it was correct­ ed, she put tbe pin through it, hitched iton, and sent it back. Mr. Simmons thinks be ought to have the credit of introducing the R. F. D. The whole number of teachers en­ rolled was 105, 89 girls and 16 boys. The average per cent of attendance was 72. As usual, Miss Marsh had the last word, and the institute, which had been so full of good thiugs, was ended. Much praise is due Commissioner Ketcham for securing the excellent in­ structors. Ifany teacher does not do better work next year it is because she did not attend the institute. Mr. Ketcham did splendid work in history. This is his “pet” subject and his knowl­ edge of historic events makes him com­ petent to conduct any class in this sub­ ject. May the future hold many more such institutes as this.

It is safe to say that Woodland har­ bors more dogs to tbe number of free­ holders than any other village in this section of tbe state. Droves of eight to a dozen can be seen on tbe streets most any time. Perhaps that is one reason why Woodland has not been visited by the “light-fingered gentry” for some time.—Woodland News. And yet there are people who would prefer the light-fingered gentry" to the dog nuance. Truly, Nashville is getting to be a town where they have “something do­ ing.” Take last Saturday night for example. There was a circus In town, and tbe circus baud gave a highly en­ joyable concert of about half an hour's duration on Main street.

Andrews,. the Detroit bank wrecker, and then parole the prisoner. He denies that he has reached any de­ cision in the case and even that be is considering the matter. Tbe Tribune hasn't tbe slightest doubt that tbe gov­ ernor speaks Tn entire good faith in en­ tering these denials, but that has no bearing whatsoever on the probabili­ ties concerning Andrew’s release. No one at all acquainted with Michigan politics expects tbe governor to know what he is going to do.—Detroit Tri­ bune. The Slump in Wall Street. A “slump" in Wall Street may be either helpful or harmful to the public weal. Sane reaction from unwarranted topheaviness is always a good thing, but when the reaction becomes as in­ sane as the cause itself, it is a bad th*.ng—a very bad thing, doing injury to thousands of innocent parsons, checking prosperity, and impairing in the minds of millions of American citi­ zens tbe faith they should ever have in the durability of their country's insti­ tutions and methods. Buch a slump we have just experienced upon a greater scale and with less real reason than ever before. That a marked depression must follow in time the wild inflation of values which began five years ago was inevitable and expected, but that it should reach such extremity in a time of good crops, active business, few mercantile failures, and of employment for al! who want work is little short of amazing. Whether it can be attribut­ ed justly in large part to tbe gigantic operations of our richest citizen in furtherance of an insatiable desire to pile yet more millions upon the un­ counted and scarcely comprehensible number already in teis grasp, probably only himself could tell. If such should prove to be the case, however, the fame, while legitimate enough, judg­ ing from Wall Street standards, will surely develop hazard to large ac­ cumulations of wealth within the con­ trol of avarice. Despite the recent ex­ hibition of what seems to be limitless power on the part of one or a few, this Is going to be a free country, and, in one way or another, in their own good time, the people will surely relieve any oligarchy in existence or in process of formation, political, financial, or both, of the management however indirect, of their affairs.—Harper's Weekly. ., End of Bitter Fight. “Two physicians had a long and stub­ born 3ght with an abceee on my right lung” writes J.

Aug. 10,1 Senator Gorman returned from Eu­ rope last week, and, if the senator ha* any presidential aspirations, he must have been much gratified at the situa­ tion as be found it in this country. When Interviewed by the host of news­ papermen who awaited hi* ooming to Wa*hington, the senator waq almost a* noncommittal as usual. He appeared to be In excellent health, and the ruddy complexion gained at sea gave .him a particularly hale and hearty appear­ ance. With his usual affability tbe sen­ ator received the representative* of tbe press, but managed to dodge ail lead­ ing questions with tbe adroitness for which he is famous. He declared that it was too early to talk of candidates but added that tbe fate of the demo­ cratic parly was too important a matter to permit of personal considerations. The next convention must select the man capable of leading the party to vic­ tory and adopt a platform with but a single purpose, success. He defined the issues as tariff reform, economy in pub­ lic administration and honesty in pub­ lic office, although be added that it was impossible to foretell what another ses­ sion of congress would bring forth. Senator Gorman was told that Judge Parker had made a trip south and had proved a disappointment td the Georgi­ ans, at least, in that he had talked law to them rather than politics, but the Senator onlj smiled and said It was too early to discuss men, the right man would appear at the proper time. Washington politicians are taking considerable interest in the Ohio situa­ tion where Tom Johnson, mayor of Cleveland, has announced that he will be a candidate for governor if the party desires. It Is generally believed that Mr. Johnson’s chief object is tbe defeat of Senator Hanna and that he will lend his support to any other candidate if an apparently stronger man appears in the arena. Tbe defeat of Senator Han na Is regarded by eastern democrat* as an ead duvouLlv to be hoped for as it would result in sadly demoralizing the repub­ lican* and would pave tbe way to dem­ ocratic victory, removing the head of a most undesirable element from national politics. It is generally appreciated tn Washington that most of toe corruption in tbe postoffice department was due to tbe Hanna style of politics, be having, as has been already told in tbeee letters, saddled Perry Heath when the latter was first assistant postmaster general, with several thousand political pledges, made to accomplish his own election io the senate and that of the republican candidate for president. On Saturday last, General N- Ison A. Miles, having reached tbe age limit. 64 years, retired from bls position of "general commanding tbe army," and General Samuel B. M. Young was ap­ pointed to .succeed him. This appoint­ ment is regarded by General Miles’ friends as a marked evidence of the vin­ dictiveness of Secretary of War Root and the antipathy in which General Miles was held by tbe president. It was the intention of congress to ounfer on Mlles tbe honor of being tbe last of­ ficer to fill this place, the new staff law, which goes into effect August 15, abol­ ishing tbe positioo General Young is absent from Washington and will not return until the 15th, and no harm would have been done by leaving penera! Miles' former position vacant un­ til the new law went into effect but the discrepancy of dates gave Secretary Root an opportunity to rob tbe retir­ ing general of thi* slight honor and he promptly availed himself of it. It is regarded as somewhat remark-' able that Secretary Hoot should have been tbe designer of the general start law which, it must be admitted, corrects the defects in tbe military system which made General Miles’ position almost un­ tenable, but which also will have tbe effects of robbing tbe secretary of war of all opportunity of making a great name for himself, in the future. Un­ der the existing law tbe secretary of war and the ten beads of staff bureaus have had all power in tbe management of army affairs and the position of “gen­ eral commanding" was an honor with­ out proportionate power. Under tbe new law, the ranking general will be tbe chief of a staff made up of these bureau beads and tbe staff wiH be al mo*t supreme, bo that the power* of the secretary of war will be materially cur­ tailed. One of the virtue* of lb* new law rest* In tbe fact that in the future no adjutant general can, by systemati­ cally seeking the favor of tne seerettury of war and of the politicians, secure the inordinate power and promotion which has been acquired by Adjutant General Corbin. Another benefit will result from tbe direction of tbe army by ex­ perienced officers, Instead of by a civil­ ian secretary of war appointed, usually, for political reasons and largely in­ fluenced by sycophantic subordinates. Secretary Root will be accorded great credit by historians for his organization and promotion of the general staff, but he has burned the bridges behind him and It Is difficult to see now there can ever be another great secretary of war like a Stanton or a Root. In future, that position will be decidedly analog­ ous to that of the “general command­ ing” from which General Miles retires. It Is alec unlikely that under the new law such men m General Leonard Wood will be able to gain rapid promotion over the' heads of men with far more ex­ perience and entitled by long service to tbe highest honora. but this applies only to tbe principle, for by thi* very law General Wood Is scheduled to become lieutenant general and chief of staff, and, because he is now a comparatively young man, will retain that position for twelve years before he reaches the age of sixty-four.

Borelll's twin tailed comet, which for the past four or five weeks has been receiving the attention of astronomers all over the world, is now* visible to the naked eye, although Its long diaphanous tall is not discernible without the aid of a telescope. Scientists are particu­ larly Interested In the remarkable pho­ tographic views of the comet which were obtained by the astronomers at the Yale observatory. The Borelli comet is said by astrono­ mers to be tbe finest that has been seen in recent years. It was discovered by Borelli. after whom it was named, in Marseilles on June 21. Since that time It has Increased In brightness about seventeen times and now has the bril- BOKKLLI'S OOMET AS CAUGHT BY CAMKKAf THS 1 Laney of a star of the tblnl magnitude. The comet is traveling toward the sun at a speed of about five degrees a day. According to the measurements made by the Yale observers, its head is about 500,000 miles In diameter, and its dou­ ble tail is nt least 3,000,000 miles long. The Bonelli comet is the only Impor­ tant one seen since eight years ago, when the Rordame was discovered, and is the brightest since Smith’s comet, which appeared about twelve years ago. It is now in its most bril­ liant phase and will gradually begin to grow dim as it approaches the sun. For several weeks, however, it will still be visible. About Aug. 21 it passes the sun at a distance of about 81,000,000 miles. The photographs taken by tbe Yale observers show a long tall that is not visible to the naked eye. The nega­ tives also show that the tail is forked, really making two tails. Astronomers say that the comet is passing the earth at a distance of about 26,000,000 miles and Is traveling at a speed of twentyfive miles a second. The comet is in the constellation Draco, half way between tbe bowl of tbe little dipper and the handle of the great dipper. At present ft la as con­ spicuous to the naked eye as the bright­ est star In the dippers, but not so sharp and distinct It may be Identified by its hazy look. An opera glass will show it as a faint streak stretching toward the southeast. THE EPISODE IN ROOM 222 •r ARNOLD BENNETT Coprrfcbu lea, hr T. C. McClure Tbe date, was the 5th of November. It was a Friday, and yet there are peo­ ple who affect to believe that Friday Is not a day singled out from its six com­ panions for mystery, strangeness and disaster. The number of the room was 222. The hotel I shall call by the name of the Grand Junction Terminus hotel. The Grand Junction is full every Might in the week except Friday, Sat­ urday and Sunday. Every commercial traveler knows that, except on these nights, if he wishes to secure a room he must write or telegraph for it in ad­ 's nee. And there are 400 bedrooms. It was somewhat late In the evening when I arrived in On the spur* of the moment I decided to stay at the Grand Junction if there was space for me. It is thus that fate works. I walked into the hall, followed by a platform porter with my bag. The place seemed Jfist as usual, the perfec­ tion of the commonplace, the business­ like and the unspirltual. “Have you a room?” I asked the young lady in black whose yellow hair snone gayly at tlfe office window under die electric light. She glanced at the ledgers in the Im­ passive and detached manner which ho­ tel young ladies with yellow hair inva riably affect and ejaculated: "No. 221.” "Pity you couldn’t make it all twos,” [ ventured, with timid jocularity. How rould I guess the Import of what I was laying? , She smiled very slightly with a dis­ tant condescension. ’Name?” she de­ manded. “Edge." lu another moment I was in the ele­ vator. No. 221 was the last door but one at the end of the eastern corridor of the fourth floor. It proved to be a double bedded room, large, exquisitely ugly, but perfectly appointed in all matters sf comfort In short, It was character­ istic of the hotel. I knew that every bedroom In that corridor presented ex­ actly the same aspect. One instinctive­ ly felt the Impossibility of anything weird, anything bizarre, anything terri­ ble. entering the precincts of an abode so solid, cheerful, orderly and middle class. It will be well for me to relate all that I did that evening. I went down to the billiard room aud played a hun­ dred up with the mn-ker. To show that my nerves were at least ns steady as usual that night I may mention that, although the marker gave me fifty and beat me, I made a break of twenty odd which won his generous approval. The game concluded, I went into the hall and asked tbe porter If there were any telegrams for me. There were not. I noticed that tbe porter—it was the night porter, aud he had just come on duty— seemed to have a peculiarly honest and attractive face. Wishing him good night, I retired to bed. At 8 o’clock I awoke, not with a start, but rather gradually. I kfiow it was exactly 3 o’clock because tbe strik­ ing of a notoriously noisy church clock In the neighborhood was the first thing I heard. But the clock bad not awak­ ened me. I felt sure that something else, something far more sinister than a church clock, had been the origin of dis­ turbance. • ' I listened. Then I heard it again. It was the sound of a groan in the next room. to go to sleep again. But I could not sleep. Tbe groans continued and grew more poignant, more fearaotne. At last I jumped out of bed and turned on tbe light. “That man, whoever he la, is dying,” The idea, as it were; sprang at my throat. “Only a man wbo aaw Death by his side and trembled before the ap­ parition could groan like that.” I put on some clothes and went in­ to tbe corridor. It, seemed to stretch away into illimitable distance, and far off a solitary electric light glimmered. My end was a haunt of gloomy shad­ ows, except where the open door al­ lowed the light from my bedroom to illuminate the long, monotonous pat­ tern of the carpet I proceeded to the door next my own —the door of No. 222, and put my ear against the panel. The sound of groans was now much more distinct and more terrifying. I called. No answer. “What’s the matter?’ I Inquired. No answer. Then I tried to open the door, but it was fast “Yes,” I said to myself, “either he’s dying or he’s committed a murder and is feeling sorry for it. I must fetch the night porter.” I was compelled to find my way along endless corridors and dow’n flights of stairs apparently innumera­ ble. Here aud there an electric light sought with its yellow eye to pierce the gloom. At length I reached the hall. “There's a man either dying or very 111 in No. 222,” I said to the night por­ ter. “Is that so, sir?” he replied. "Yes,” I insisted. “I think he’s dy­ ing. Hadn’t you better do something?” “If you think he’s dying, sir. I’ll call np the manager, Mr. Thom.” “Do,” I said. The manager slept on the first floor, and he soon appeared, a youngish man Id a terra cotta dressing gown, bls eyes full of sleep, yet alert and anx­ ious to do his duty. We all three con tlnued our progress to the fourth floor. Arrived in front of No. 222, we listened Intently, but we could only hear a faint occasional groan. “He’s nearly dead.” I said.

At any rate I think it right to inform yoti that on tbe night of the 5th of No­ vember. the year before last, exactly twelve months before your last visit here, a stout man died In room No. 222 at 3 a. m. I forgot the circumstance when you last came to see me In this room.” “It seems queer,” I said coldly, “that you should have forgotten such a cir­ cumstance.” “The fact is,” he replied, “I was not the manager at that time. My prede­ cessor died two days after the disco .’­ cry of the corpse in room 222.” “And the night porter—is he, too, a new man?” "Yes,” said the manager. “The porter who, with the late manager, found the corpse in room 222 is now in Han­ well Lunatic asylum.” “Then you think,” I said, “that I was the victim of a hallucination on my previous visit here?” “On these matters,” said the man­ ager, “I prefer to think nothing.” Q 1 ffi •■•1 Th* Rabbit a» a Gardener.

From the “high authorities* quoted it Is evident that the President himself is at sea in his efforts to serve all interests. Bound by what he regards as a pledge, to urge the consideration of the Cuban treaty legislation in advance of the financial measure now being prepared by Sena­ tor Aldrich and his fellow members' of the sub-committee of the senate com­ mittee on Finance, the president is be­ ing subjected to such strong pressure from the capitalistic classes in the east that he has Been compelled to consider the advisability of calling congress in extra session, even earlier than had been anticipated, November 9. That the president has seriously contem­ plated such a move is proved by an in­ terview Senator Aldrich gave to the press in which he refers to the likeli­ hood that congress will be called to convene in October. No sooner was the possibility of such an early session learned in Washington than it was met with the protests of the practical politicians who say that they will be fully occupied with the various state elections in October and that no member of congress can be spared to attend to national affairs until the No­ vember elections are disposed of. At­ tention is called to the precarious situ­ ation in Ohio, where the democrats give promise of acting as one man to defeat Senator Hanna by electing a legislature hostile to him. The secretary of Ag­ riculture has even promised to go to Ohio and take the stump to save the day for the Ohio leader and it is ap­ preciated that the most energetic meas­ ures must be taken to recoup the polit­ ical fortunes of the patron of Perry Heath. August W. Machen. “Cliff’ long, and other members of the “Ohio gang.” , The situation in Rhode Island is also most alarming to the republicans. The democrats in that state have made un­ precedented gains and bid fair to con­ trol the legislature und all other Importani offices. If they are successful this fall it will entirely disrupt the re­ publican machine and there will be every chance that the legislature elect­ ed a year lat-er will defeat Senator Aid- gh rupee of the meteor which passed over central Michigan and was seen at other points.

At the same time it is the undoubted right of theTurkish govern­ : ment to use its armies in putting down rebellion and it wouid be beyond the k- province of other nations while at peace with, the Ottoman empire to oppose » such ao attempt.

SPECIALS For This Week. ■ Professor Lenbach of Munich paint­ ed Bismarck’s portrait and soon after­ ward was informed that Baron Blelch­ roeder would like to buy It and wanted to know the price. Lenbach sent back word that the price was 25,000 marks, and at that price Blelchroeder declined to become the purchaser. Some time afterward Blelchroeder invited the painter to call on him, and on his ar­ rival he asked him If he would be will­ ing to paint his portrait. Lenbach re­ plied that he would be willing to do the work and that the price of the portrait would be 25,000 marks. "You are ask­ ing only 25,000 marks for a portrait of Bismarck,” said Blelchroeder indigo nantly, "and certainly my portrait ought to be much cheaper." "You are right in one respect," re­ plied Lenbach. “Bismarck and you ar* certainly not to be spoken of in the same breath. Still, the price for the two portraits is the same, for you must re­ member that it gave me very great pleasure to paint the portrait of Prince Bismarck, whereas I cannot honestly say that It would give me the least pleasure to paint your portrait.” Bleichroederis portrait was never painted by Lenbach. A mother and baby entered a closed Broadway car at Fourteenth street and straightaway the little one began to cry. The men in the car—and nearly all tbe passengers were men—pulled their papers up closer to their faces and tried to shut out the noise. The baby cried the more. As the car pulled up with a jerk to avoid running into a blockaded truck at the Grace church corner the chimes began to ring. The first few notes gave no clew to tbe selection. Suddenly the baby ceased crying and crowed. Then it came to tbe passengers that the chimes were ringing out the wed­ ding march from “L-ohengrin.” Tbe baby crowed again. One by one tbe papers dropped, dis­ closing smiling faces. The motorman had a grin, tbe conductor chuckled and the baby kept on crowing. The bridal procession crept out of the church.

I HAVE NO SYMPATHY WITH SO CALLED TRADES UNIONS THAT WILL NOT SUBMIT THEIR GRIEVANCES TO ARBITRATION. I have no sympathy with so called labor unions that will not meet a committee of their employers to adjust their differences after a strike has been declared. THESE BODIES ARE NOT WELL ORGANIZED. BECAUSE ARBITRA­ TION 18 THE FOUNDATION UPON WHICH LABOR ORGANIZATION IS BUILT. There are a great many people who believe that the strike is a relic of a past age. That is not so. THE STRIKE IS REALLY PART AND PARCEL OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HIGHEST CIVILIZATION. There arc no strikes in barbaric countries. No one ever heard of a strike in China, Africa or In­ dia. The inhabitants of those countries are content to accept their condition as fixed. They never protest. America in the greatest * degree represents the advance of civilization, and as a consequence there are more strikes in America than in any country on earth. It must not be inferred, though, that highly civilized nations want strikes. On the contrary, the general desire is to avoid them. WHY DOES THE LABORING MAN STRIKE f TO IN­ SURE: THAT HIS CONDITION SHALL KEEP PACE WITH THE IMPROVEMENT IN CIVILIZATION HE WILL CON­ TINUE TO STRIKE JU8T 80 LONG AS OUR CIVILIZA TION CONTINUES TO IMPROVE UNLESS HE TAKES THE PLACE IN THE NATION’S PROGRESS HE COVETS AND IS ENTITLED TO. People want better things as the nation expands and grows They want better houses to live in ; they want a picture or so upon the walls and a carpet on the floor; they want music; better thing* to eat and wear—in short, they are not content to stand still while everything else is moving. They want to advance with the times. ’ They observe the progress of the world all around them, and they make their demands for a share in its prosperity. It is like asking the world to give up ail tbe grand improve of a century, return to old and obsr them accomplish modern results, to expect labor shall remain always in the same rut. The Training of the Imagination Is Education’s Most Important Part By CHARLES W. ELIOT, President of Harvard University E IMAGINATION IS THE GREATEST OF HUMAN POWERS, NO MATTER IN WHAT FIELD IT WORKS, AND THE TRAINING OF THE CONSTRUCTIVE IMAGINATION IS, THEREFORE, FAR THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF EDUCATION. I use the term constructive imagination because that implies the creation or building of u new thing. The sculptor, for example, imagines or conceives the perfect form of a child ten years of age. He has never seen such a thing, for a child perfect in form is never produced. He has seen in different children the elements of perfection, here one and there another, In his ixnagination he combines these elements of the per­ fect form, which he has only seen separated, and from this picture in his mind he carves the stone and in the execution invariably loses his ideal— that is, falls short of it or fails to express it. Con­ structive imagination is the great power of the poet as well as of the artist, and the nineteenth century has convinced us that it is also the great power of the man of science, the investigator and lhe natural plii' losopher. The educated world needs to recognize the new varieties of CODBtnictive imagination. Zola in “La Bete Humaine’’ contrives tbat ten persons, all connected with the railroad from Paris to Havre, shall be either murderers or murdered, or both, within eighteen months, and he adds two railroad slaughters criminally procured. The conditions of time and place are ingeniously imagined, and no detail is omitted which can heighten the effect of this homicidal fiction. CONTRAST THIS KIND OF CONSTRUCTIVE LM AGINATION WITH THE £IND WHICH CONCEIVED THE GREAT WELLS SUNK IN THE SOLID ROCK BE­ LOW NIAGARA THAT CONTAIN THE TURBINES THAT DRIVE THE DYNAMOS, THAT GENERATE THE ELEC­ TRIC FORCE THAT TURNS THOUSANDS OF WHEELS AND LIGHTS THOUSANDS OF LAMPS OVER HUNDREDS OF SQUARE MILES OF ADJOINING TERRITORY, or with the kind which conceives the sending of human thought across three thousand miles of stormy sea instantaneously on nothing more substantial than ethereal waves. < x m n THERE IS GOING TO BE ROOM IN THE HEARTS OF TWENTIETH CENTURY MEN FOR A HIGH ADMIRATION OF THESE KINDS OF IMAGINATION, AS WEU.

The method of successive thinnings is also applicable to stands of such kinds ■>f hard woods as bear heavy seed, like hickory and oak. because the seed will then be dropped In abundance all over the ground, whereas. If the land Is cut clear, the seed must be brought by animals, and a longer time will be required for reproduction.

Well, it la a peculiar looking bird that has been given its name on account of its military appearance. I shall tell you a story of the adju­ tant bird. He felt so much like a sol­ dier that he began to think that all the birds should become soldiers and go to the bird store and release the birds that were in captivity. Well, he paid a visit to all of his friends and urged them to join In this scheme, but none of them was in favor of it “It is of no use to try any such plan as that,” they said to him. “We will Cuvsetts Rock shoal, on _________ rloUH than the first riou indicated.

Although tbe accident occurred at 8 o clock Monday evening the officials and firemen were unable, until early Tuesday morning to descend into the tunnel owing to the blinding clouds of smoke from the burning train. Fre­ quent attempts to enter the tunnel were made by heroic volunteers, whom it was necessary to rescue, half suffo­ cated, and carry away to the hospitals. The scenes at the mouth of the tunnel where the victims were brought forth were heart-rending, crowds of weep­ ing men. women and children strug* gltng in an effort to recognize their missing relatives and friends.

To have high grade or pure bred cattle does not always in­ spire the man who raises cattle for the feed lota to Improve his stock by pur­ chasing pure bred cattie. One of our best judges of beef cattle, both alive and on the' block. Is quoted as saying, “Our improved breeds of beef cattle were getting to contain so large a per cent of fat that they were not as profit­ able from the butcher's standpoint as a plainer bred steer, and, as far as quali­ ty Is concerned, a plainer bred steer’s carcass would have sufficient quality if the steer has been property fed and rip­ ened.” It would undoubtedly be a better ad­ vertisement to a pure breed to have its llaughtered animals show as nearly the ideal condition as possible on the block. Unfortunately, fat in excess is fre­ quently upheld as the standard of ex­ cellence. In the public sales of today it Is the fat animal that brings the high­ est price even though there is by its side a better framed animal that is in far better breeding condition. For breeding purposes fat is a hlnarnnce rather than a help. Breeding stock fitted for the show ring must have its fat reduced after the show season is over. It taxes the skill of the breeder to the utmost to reduce this fat, as a mistake at this time may ruin an ani­ mal for future usefulness as a breeder. The farmer or amateur breeder visits the fairs and stock shows and sees stock in plump, fat condition, and, as this condition is pleasing to the eye, he holds up these animals as his standard and demands animals in fat condition when he buys. As long as the demand is for fat animals the breeder will sup­ ply this demand even though it Is a det­ riment and useless expense both to the seller and buyer. When we are able to recognize merit without Its being pad­ ded with fnt It will mean a saving of thousands of dollars to breeders of live stock. Utility, not excessive fat, should be our standard of excellence, Fat, or the fnt tendency, that would be condemned by the butchers may have Its place In bulls that are to be crossed upon scrub or common cows that are deficient In the fat element, but all such crosses should be made intelligently by the breeder DENSE STAND OF HARD WOOD. (About forty years old and In need of improvement cuttings.] them cut gradually rather than all at once. After the first thinning a young growth of new seedlings and sprout? from the stumps of tbe old trees will come In. As soon as the ground is well covered with this young growth the remaining trees can be removed in sev­ eral successive cuttings, stretched over a period of ten to fifteen years. This method is particularly applicable to hard wood stands which are relatively even aged, like old sprout woods sixty to eighty years old. The woodsman would make the cut­ tings in the following way; In the first thinning he would take out the dead, dying and defective trees. Defective trees include those having frog stools or canker scars on their trunks, hollow trees, those partly girdled at the base by fire, those whose trunks have been attacked by borers, top dry trees and those badly broken or bent by ice and snow. Suppressed trees and those crowding more thrifty trees are also cut. 'just as in improvement cuttings. Very small trees are cut because they are usually suppressed so badly that they would never recover, and It is therefore better to remove them and make way for a new crop. The largest crowned trees are also cut, because later on they would injure the new seedling undergrowth much more than the trees with smaller crowns. Tbe re­ moval of all these classes of trees would take away about 30 per cent of an average second growth hard wood stand and leave about 125 to 150 trees per acre. The woodsman would make the sec­ ond thinning as soon as the young growth Is well established and begins by retarded height growth to show the need of more light. In the second thin­ ning some small growth would neces­ sarily be broken, but with care the damage would be very slight and un­ doubtedly would be remedied by new growth from seed of the trees stlli standing. The young growth might be so far advanced at the time of the aec■nd thinning out that tbe whole stand eould be cleared. On tbe other hand It might be desirable to make a third thinning before the removal of the last old" trees. The illustration, from New England Homestead, shows a simple, effective and very convenient implement for pull­ ing up stakes when removing an old fence. A stout pry has two round iron arms attached by sta­ ples to Its end, as shown. The iron has its ends turned in and drawn to a point, so that it can be driven into the •take, when the latter can be STAKE PULLER. pulJed up with esse.

The man without had turned the knob and was pressing upon it so that he seemed to fall Into the room. He was my uncle’s butler and was obvious­ ly shaking with alarm. My first thought was that my uncle, whose health was very feeble, might have died in the night. "Mr. Halstead Is worse?” I began. The butler shook his head with a tort of shuddering convulsion that swept down to his toes. "It’s Mr. John,” he replied. "He's dead.’’ The news struck to my heart. Jack Halstead was my cousin and a fine fel- I i T hi; <5 ••SUICIDk!" IUJ HKPDXXD. low In eveiy way. A great grief that he had bad of late bad brought us close together, and I held him to be my best friend. "Dead!" I exclaimed. "An accident?" "Suicide," was the reply. I was conscious of surprise in the midst of my confusion, for this servant had bated Jack with the unforgiving persistence of an Indian since a day long ago when my cousin had exposed him in a tri fling-delinquency. I dressed with ail baste and hurried across to my uncle's bouse, accompa­ nied by tbe trembling servant. When we entered I saw a group at tbe head of the broad stairway. Mr. Halstead was upon the topmost stair and tow­ ered above the others. Upon a lower stair stood Arthur Morrow, son of tbe late Mrs. Halstead by a former marriage. A step or two higher and ascending was Dr. Norton Carr, tbe old physician of the family. As I approached the stairway my uncle extended his long right arm over the heads of the others and shook bls fin­ ger at me. “This is no better than murder!” he cried. “You are responsible for this." “W’bat do you mean?” I demanded. “Come here, and I’ll show you,” he replied in a choking voice. We entered Jack’s bedroom. The poor fellow lay there in his bed, bls mortal part reposing in the final sleep. Mr. Halstead paused by the head of the bed and tapped with bis finger up on a small table. I came forward and looked down. There lay a little vial containing white tablets and beside it a small tube. There was a label on the vial, and I knew what was marked up­ on it—"Morphine. oneJialf grain; Dr. Halstead.” “He got these things of you,” said my uncle. “I call it murder. What pos­ sible excuse? You knew that he was heartbroken for Dora. She Is going away: be has lost ber. You have.seen bow he has been of late.” •T did not give him this,” said I. “How can you imagine that I would do such a thing? He took them out of my office." "And you knew It!” thundered Mr. Halstead. “You knew it, and you didn’t tell me! You made no effort to save him. Why did you suppose be wanted this poison? Had be any prop er need of this drug?’ I shook my bead. “I loved him,” said my uncle,-laying his hand upon the dead man’s breast “He should have had the bulk of my fortuned and you knew It. You ruined his life”— “You are mad to say so!" I exclaimed. He sneered at me. “Why Is that girl going away?” he demanded. "Do yon think I don’t know? Because a penniless rascal baa won her away from my boy here. She couldn't marry you because you hadn't the money to buy her a roof and her bread, But you would have had a Uttie at my death and were content to wait." lone as I have known Dora." said I with sill the eamestneas at my command, T have never spqken one word of love to her. Ito you suppose I would step In and rob Jack? Why. you yourwlf have praised trte for my Joyal (Tied. The tears sprang to my eyes, but it was necessary to control emotion in this crisis. I turned to Dr. Carr. •There can be no doubt as to the cause of death?" I asked. He did not reply In words, but bent forward and tapped the vial with his finger. "Tell me how It happened," I asked. "Who saw him last?” It was Thomas, the butler, who re­ plied. He seemed to have risen through the floor nt my elbow. “He was out during the evening, sir," he said. “We don’t know where he was. It was near midnight when I let him in. Mr. Morrow was writing in the library, and Mr. John went in there. I brought them a glass of wine. It'seem,ed to me. If 1 may make bold to say so, that Mr. Jbhn was In better spirits than usual." “I thought so, too,” said Morrow. "We talked awhile of ordinary topics. I didn’t notice that Jack was depress­ ed. He seemed quite like his old self. We sat together for half an hour, and then he came up here to bed." "Does anybody know." I asked, "why be opened this?” I pointed to an ebony box containing some papers. It was open, and a small hunch of . keys hung in the lock. “Is there any indication that he de­ stroyed anything?" I continued. “Not that I know of,’’ answered Mor­ row. There was a moment’s silence. "It may be, sir, that the poison was In there,” suggested Thomas. "He wouldn't have kept it lying round the room, sir, and where else should he have been likely to put It?" “That is probably the explanation," said I. "I wish I'd thought of it before. When he confessed to me that he had taken this bottle from my office I tried to find it. You will readily understand why, Mr. Halstead.” "I understand thnt you have been criminally negligent." he retorted. “And let me tell you now that I am done with you.” He turned to Arthur and in his char­ acteristic. Impulsive, headlong way went on: "You were never a favorite with me. Arthur, but you're all I’ve got now. You're the only one bound to me by any tie. Dora Melvin shall have something, with a condition." He glanced fiercely at me. "And you’ll have the balance. Arthur. Much good may it do you!” “No money will do any one good that comes in this way,” replied Morrow, with a shudder. “Thomas," said I. addressing the but­ ler, "you let Mr. John Halstead In last night. Did he have anything in bls hand?” “No. sir," he replied. "Not this, for instance?” said I, lay­ ing my hand upon a smsll package that was on the mantelpiece. "No, sir,” said Thomas. "He brought that in day before yesterday. You re­ member it, Mr. Morrow.” he continued. "He took it Into the library where you were writing." "I had forgotten it," answered Mor­ row. "Are yov sure, Thomas?" ’This Is a serious matter." said I, lay­ ing my hand on the butler’s shoulder. “Do not commit the folly of beginning the affair with a falsehood.” T don’t know why I should lie about it, sir,” he replied doggedly. “You saw him take this parcel Into the library.’’ I continued. "By the way. does anybody kuvw what’s in it?" My uncle interrupted to ask angrily what all this was about “Grant mo two minutes,1* said I. And then I repeated my question. There was no reply. "Thomas,” said I. “what did young Mr. Halstead do with this parcel after he took it into the library?” “I saw him untie the string," he an­ swered. ‘Then he took up a pen from the table, but I didn’t see him write any thing." "Did he write anything In the library last evening?” I asked, turning to Mor­ row, who answered me In the negative. "Are you sure?” I insisted. “You were there all the time that he was present” "Yes,” was the answer. “He didn’t write anything while I was there. Why do you ask?” "Because this message on the card Is written with the Ink that is used in the library and not with Jack's stylo­ graphic pen. There is no ink tn this room that I can see.” "What is the purpose of these ques­ tions?” demanded Mr. Halstead. Without answering him I took up the parcel and removed the wrapper. There was a dainty box within, and upon opening that I discovered a small plaque, beautifully painted. The de­ sign was in lilies of the valley, which were Dora’s favorite flower. '•Unless I am greatly in error.” said I, "this farewell message on the card was intended to be put into this box. It was a parting gift to Dora.” “Its purpose is obvious,” said Mr. Halstead. “It lay upon this table, and this bottle of poison was on top of it. It was his last word, poor fellow.” “But why did be buy the plaque?” * Insisted. "Was it for you? For me? For Arthur?" “For her. of course,” said Mr. Hal­ stead. “Then why did not the gift and the message go together?” said I. No one ventured a reply. "I will tell you why," I continued. "This card was put into the parcel and was taken out ngaln, but not by Jack.” "By whom, then?” asked my unele. "By some one who knew of its exist­ ence and perceived that It would an­ swer quite well the purposes of a sui­ cide’s Inst message.” Mr. Hahtead caught me by tbe sboulcan to d actual tnur "By wbomF lai “Let us see/*-I 1 have swallowed t retiring.

Conch $1.00 A Engagement Extraordinary. In these days of absolute up-to-date­ ness in every thing the public will ac­ cept only the best obtainable, which is but right. The new society comedy, entitled “The BiUIonatress, ” comes to us splendidly recommended, and, ac­ cording to all report, should meet the highest requirements of >even the most fastidious of our play-going public. Manager Reed of Reed’s opera house has secured this attraction, which will be presented, complete in every detail of the original production on night of Wednesday, Sept. 9th, only. The organization is headed by Miss Lorraine Buchanan, a young commedienne who gives promise of taking rank among the leading actresses of this country. She is surrounded by an. all­ star cast of metropolitan reputation. The play is said to be built upon entire­ ly new lines, is bright and pleasing in every particular, and is one of the few comedies possessing a plot capable of being followed intelligibly. The dia­ logue is brilliantly written and the story contains touches of real heart in­ terest, only intensified by the spark­ ling effervescence of comedy accom­ panying its development. Remember the attraction and date of Its positive appearance. — — ADDITIONAL “LEGALLY DEAD.” Manager Reed has been fortunate in securing such an excellent attraction as The Shannons and their big company who will appear in “Legally Dead,” a beautiful heart story tn four acts by Eunice Fitch. Ada Lorene Shannon will ap­ pear as Sharley, a young romantic girl. Little Hhrry plays the part of Warren which keeps the audience in roars of laughter when he is on the stage. Little Hazel assumes an emotional role with as much ease and grace as any leading lady. A large and clever company are in support of The Shannons this season. Elegant scenery is carried for the production. Handsome costumes and bright specialties will lend to the charm of the performance. At the opera house one night only, Wednesday, Sept. 2.

Miss Cora Belle Jewell, who has been a faithful and efficient teacher in the city schools for several years, surprised the board at the last regular meeting by sending in her resignation.

The wedding was solemnized last Thursday afternoon, Aug. 20, at 4:00 o’clock at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Jewell in the second ward. The groom was Mr. John H. Doak of Springport, and the ceremotay was performed by the Rev. I. J. Tripp in the presence of the immediate rela­ tives only. The bride was adorned in white silk mull trimmed with lace. The groom wore the usual black dress suit. Miss Jewell is well known and highly esteemed, having been a teacher in the Hastings public school the past ten years. Her work and influence was of a high and lasting character. While all heartily join in congratulations yet there is much regret that she must leave her place among us. Mr. Doak Is an enterprising business man of Springport where be Is well es­ tablished in the drug line. After partaking of a wedding lunch, Mr. and Mrs..Doak took a carriage to Tbornapple whence they left on the evening train for a week’s honeymoon in Hillsdale and at other points.

Before five years have passed there will be practically no timber left standing in Baraga, Houghton and Keweenaw counties large enough to make a log. Sfenomlnee county, which about ten years ago was the largest lumber producing district in the world, has lost its rank and now produces scarcely a tenth of its former amount The mills which were located there have been moved to Louisiana and Washington. Baraga has timber enough to keep its few mills running for a few years more, but like all tie other parts of the state where lum­ bering has been carried on its end is near.

At break of day he was wearily approach­ ing his destination, well nigh spent with his extraordinary night, march. As he came in sight of the camp he saw that the party was already preparing to set out on their day’s march. Not dreaming that his absence had been noticed and ite object suspected, he boldly advanced, bet as soon as the In­ dians discovered him approaching they set up a yell of rage and immediately several shots reverberated through the forest. Tbe boy fell on his face and lay as though dead. Witboutdeigning to investigate and no doubt thinking the firing bad been fatal. the excited horde hastened away, bent on their er­ rand of bloodshed and revenge. Even Pushkatawab, their leader, pitilessly abandoned the body of his own son, whom he looked upon as having brought disgrace upon him, to be de­ voured by wolves. But Nika was not dead, not even hurt. The little testament which his white friends bad given him and which he carried in his oosom bad received the bullet and broken its force/ He was only stunned and soon recovered consciousness. Arising he cautiously' made bis way through tbe woods, net knowing where to turn. For if he re­ turned to bisown race he would be put to death as a traitor, and if be gave himself up to tbe whites, he was in dan­ ger ef being treated as an enemy. He was an outcast from all human kind. In his fatigue and his despair be was wandering along irresolutely when he suddenly found himself surrounded by a large party of English regulars and volunteers on their way to Fort Pitt. , Again he narrowly escaped death, us the soldiers, enraged at the depredwtiona that were desolating the frontier looked upon every Indian as a danger­ ous pest to be immediately extermina­ ted) snd they would haye shot tbe youag hero, had he not been able to speak to them in English and to show them the testament. The little vol­ ume, with a bullet hole through the in­ ner margin of its leaves and bearing Nika’s name on the fly-leaf with a scripture quotation with the name of “Harriet Appleton” beneath, was strong corroborative evidence that tbe boy told the truth and satisfied bis cap­ tors that they had captured a friend rather than a foe. " When Nika told them of tbe medita­ ted attack of the Indians upon the settlements the troops hesitated wheth­ er to go on or to attempt the rescue of tbe settlers. But tbe commander of tbe force, Lietot. Scott, had received express instructions from Col. Bouquet, the officer in command of the Pennsyl­ vania posts, to hasten with all speed to the relief of Fort Pitt. Hence he de­ cided to obey orders, and reluctantly gave the command to advance. Thus Nika found himself among civil­ ized friends, and feeling that all ties of race and kindred had been broken, he cast in his lot with his new found friends. He proceeded with the detachment to Fort Pitt and became a regular inmate of the post, making himself useful as an interpreter between the commandant, Capt. Grant, and the various deputa­ tions of Indians that frequently came to the fort. As the months passed away indica­ tions of renewed hostilities with all the tribes of the northwest increased day by day. Finally, early in the autumn Col. Bouquet himself arrived at the post, in command of a large contingent of regular troops.

A- D. 1903, at tbe line of the drain In tbe township of Baltimore in said county of Barry, "You three may ride upon my back,” the bear in starting said. No sooner were they seated well than up the hill he sped. He traveled till the dark began to make the children cry; Then, lest with grief they melt away, he begged them cease to sigh, "For now to Maple Sugar Land we are quite close, I know. There many friends of mine reside whose hearts with kindness glow.’ They reached the country just at dusk—It is a brownish place. The people—maple sugar, too—they are a brownish race. Some live In tents of sugar made, their food is sugar brown, And when of victuals they are short, they boil some sirup down. Their springs are maple sugar trees just bubbling o’er with sap; Their rivers formed from sirup brooks, fill every sugar gap. The maple sugar cakes are used as table, tile or mop. The Sorghies took a ride on one, a "whirling dervish” top. The motion caused their heads to spin in such a frightful way The bear declared the climate bad and would no longer stay.

It is more sport to chum for fish and catch them with a rod and reel.” 'Then it is really not good forjx to fish for bluefish unless you chtm for them?” “Oh, it is all right to catch one or so for a meal, but It is not the thing to do if one is out for sport” “Well, we are out for sport, aren’t we? At least I think I am,” she added mischievously. “Of course, but your mother wants a fish, and, this Is the only way to get one at present.” “But I do wish that we could chum, Marvin," she said as if entirely uncon­ scious of a double meaning. The poor fellow gasped, for he saw the chance to make the Idea of chumming lead up to a remark Involving their chumming together for life. But the very thought of being so'daring put him In a funk. Leona looked at him innocently, then with a satisfied smile at tbe struggle in his mind that was making Itself so ev­ ident on his bin.-!; . fr.ee sank back contentedly among .ishlons. Again the silence tell, and Marvin kept his eye seaward like an able sea­ man, though not like the host of so pretty a guest. Leona looked at him from time to time and smiled mischie­ vously. for she knew that whenever she liked she could torment him again, as she had often done in the past. He had made at least a dozen futile attempts to propose to her and had been pre­ vented by his bashfulness. On each oc­ casion she could have helped him out and enabled him to speak the momen­ tous words, but it was too much fun to be free, and, though she had always In­ tended accepting him in the end, she could not help putting off tho hour of capitulation aS long an he showed no evidence of trying to escape. Of course he had run away from her after every attempt to propose, but he always came back. He neemed to move around her in much the same way as a comet goes around the sun. He would approach with ever Increasing velocity, just miss embracing and then whirl off in the op­ posite direction on an orbit Of wonder­ ful extent. ■ "After lie has gone around the globe on one of his runaway trips I'll take pity on him and help him out," Leona confessed to her mother. And in aplte of her cruelty she cared for him as much as he did for her and bad no in­ tention of losing him, but it is true she would much prefer having him do all tbe proposing himself. Leona was quite comfortable among her cushions, and It was no small pleas­ ure to her to sit and watch the young giant who kept himself so busy with the sail and tiller. But she made up her mind that slxe would not speak again until he did. They were almost at the fishing grounds before the silence was broken, and then be remarked: "I’m going to throw out a line now. Do you care to do the fishing?" "Anything to pass the time," she said somewhat viciously, for she was tired of the long silence. He unrolled the line, tied one end of It to a hook in tbe gunwale and drop­ ped the squid overboard. She took the line and let it troll through the water, while her fingers felt the alight vibra­ tion that showed that the hook was clear of weeds. But the fish were not “Weil, well, won't you take pity BRIEFLY "I take.pity on yon?

Mrs. Pollock pined because she had not a girl to koep her company and Pol­ lock shared In her wish. Pollock had a habit of stepping to his door every night before going to bed to take a look at bls church, not that he expected to see anything unusual— It was a mere matter of habit. His wife told him that it was a habit and begged him to break It up. He gath­ ered his resolution for an effort to do so. This effort took place one night in November. At 10 o’clock Pollock put out the lights in the house and went to bed. This was only the beginning of it No sleep came to him, and be tossed about struggling with a desire to get up, go to the door and look at tbe church, !^ker which he knew he would go back to bed and to sleep. It was ney 2 o’clock in the morning before he gave way; then, rising, he went to the door, opened it looked at the church and was about to turn when he saw or thought he saw a flash of light at one of the windows. Putting on his clothes and taking bls lantern and the key to a door opening into the vestry, he hurried over to the gloomy pile, now dark within, though lighted dimly without by a waning moon. Opening the door, he entered and, passing through an arch, stood on tbe chancel steps with his lantern be­ hind him, that It might not Interfere with his vision, and peered at the things with peculiar names that go to make up tbe interior of a church. Seen at that hour, by the fainteat glimmer of moonlight shining through the windows, nothing could have been more uninviting. Even a aexton may have feeling, and old Pollock, although he had seen the sight many times be­ fore, remarked to himself that he would rather be opening a grave by daylight than standing there gazing over a sea of emptiness. But, not seeing anything unusual, be was about to take his de­ parture when he heard a fumbling at the great front door lock. Not wishing to be seen, be blew out his light and got Into one of the choir pews, where he could watch any one entering the church. Bure enough, the big door opened and some one came In. Then came the scratch and flash of a match and the lighting of a candle. By Its faint flame Pollock saw a man enter the church, leading a shrinking girl up tbe center aisle, who shuddered at every step. Tbe pair came nearly to the chancel, where tbe man waited, listening for a sound, while the girl aat In a front pew, her face buried In her hands. They were evidently expecting to meet some one. Then the clock In the tower struck 2. A moment later Pollock saw a light moving In the guild rooms, and present­ ly a man dressed In tbe vestments of a clergyman came in, bolding Ln his band a small lamp. The man before the chancel met him at the rail and whis­ pered something to him. Then be turn­ ed to tbe girl. “Grace, dear,” be said, “this la the Bev. Mr. Hartshorne, rector of this church. He will marry us.” From this moment Pollock saw through what was on foot as well as if be were intimately acquainted with the parties. He had served as sexton with Dr. Hartshorne for twenty years and knew full well that the man before him ,waa not Dr. Hartshorne. A young girl was about to be ruined by a mock mar- But what was he to do? He was an old man incapable of overcoming these two rascals and did not think that to appear and accuse them would be of any avail. At any rate he did not dare try it for fear of bodily injury. Tbe girl was almost dragged to the altar. There was light enough for Pollock to tee that the man was well dressed while the girl was in the garb of the poorer classes. Tbe mock clergyman began the service sad had reached tbe The groom and tbe mock clergyman looked at each other with stalled faces. The bride had to be supported. “Go on,” said tbe groom under his teeth with an oath, and, after consider­ able urging, tbe service proceeded. - w ednesday< Sept “Do you, Grace, have thia man”— There was another groan, this time down tn the body of tbe church, for Pollock had slipped around by a side passage and got in among the pews. Tbe pretended clergyman dropped bis book. • “You’ll burn for this!” eame a voice from a still different direction. By this time the groom had lost his nerve as well as the clergyman and, picking up the bride, who had fainted, hurried down the aisle w’ith her. “Drop her!” roared a sepulchral voice. The girl was dropped in the aisle and the men frantically made for the door. Pollock, fearing they might gather cour­ age to -return, picked up the girl and carried her out of the vestry door and to his bouse. Lena Bruce remained with tbe old couple till they died, they belleving that Providence had caused the sexton to take his resolution on that very night and break It after midnight for tbe purpose of saving the girl and giving them a daughter. Lena, who was a good Christian, only yielded to the vil­ lain's solicitation to a clandestine mar­ riage on his promise to take her to a thurch. No church was available ex­ cept at an hour when all tbe world was asleep. But how they got the keys old Pollock never knew. He did not again think of going to bed without his last look at his charge and often got up in tbe night to do so. BELLE ATWOOD.

It therefore appears to the board that Kalamazoo, geographically considered, is the most accessible point for the great­ est number of .teachers and students re­ siding in southwestern Michigan, a sec­ tion of the state embracing the counties of Berrien, Cass, St, Joseph, Branch, Calhoun, Kalamazoo, Van Buren, Alle­ gan, Barry, Eaton, Ottawa, Kent, Ionia, and Muskegon. The only other question remaining to be disposed of then is the suitability of the city of Kalamazoo for such an in­ stitution. , The following are some of the objec­ tions urged against that city: First—It already has one state insti­ tution and is not entitled to another. Second—It already has a college and ladies’ seminary and institutions of learning should be scattered as widely as possible over the state. Third—An institution of this kind should be located in a smaller city. The board sympathizes in a measure with the first objection and concedes that it should be given some weight but that it should be a determining factor in the case would probably not be ser­ iously urged. The board also recog­ nizes merit in the second objection urged and the wisdom of locating the school in a city now sustaining a col­ lege was for a time seriously doubted, but after full discussion and after con­ sultation with professors and officers of the college at Kalamazoo the conclusion was finally reached that the influence of each institution upon the,other would be healthful and stimulating and that the presence of large numbers of young people in the city would tend to create an educational atmosphere and empha­ size in the minds of the people the abso­ lute necessity of maintaining at all times, a clean, moral and wholesome city government. The third objection has provoked more discussion probably than any other point involved in the case and the fact was early discovered that the severol members of the board held widely diverging views on the subject ana were the question considered as an ab­ stract proposition much difficulty would probably have been • experienced in reaching common ground. The city of Kalamazoo, however, seems to be a very fair compromise on this question. In all other respects Kalamazoo's fitness for such an institution cannot be seriously questioned by her sister cities. Her excellent system of public school*, her churches, her Young Men’s and Young Women’s Christian associations, her fine public libraries, her active com­ mercial and social life all will contri­ bute to the education of the teachers of southwestern Michigan and when the personal disappointments of other cities is forgotten, the state board of educa­ tion Is confident that the selection of Kalamazoo as the location for the West­ ern State Normal school will meet the general approval of all parties in inter- . The Signing of the Bin. The Grand Rapids Press baa the fol­ lowing pathetic account of the signing of the new normal school bill which we are sure the readers of the Herald will appreciate: The formal awarding of the new nor­ mal school to Kalamazoo recalls a ten­ der scene in the office of Governor Bliss in Lansing just before the last legisla­ tive session adjourned. After months of unceasing work and worry by Repre­ sentative vandercock, assisted by Sen­ ator Kelly, the bill for the creation of the new normal school for western Michigan had been passed, enrolled and was ready for the final act. Mr. Vandercock had prepared elaborately for the consummation of his efforts. It was 3:36 in the afternoon when the newspaper correspondents were sum­ moned from a debate in the senate by the information that the governor was about to sign the normal bill. Hurry­ ing to the executive office they found Mr. Vandercock with his wife and little daughter. The statesman wore his best Prince Albert and- Senator Kelly was also present and ranged up along­ side the mahogany desk. The final moment had arrived and every heart fluttered with emotion and suspense. The governor turnecLfrom a clerkjwlth whom he had been looking over the bill and picked up a stub pen. “Be you ready?” he said. w • “Just a minute, governor,” said the man from Kent. “We have a special jpea here which I would like to have you use in signing this bill, so that we may keep it and exhibit it in the new building when it is finished. ” He then produced a pretty pearl handled pen in box which was carefully wrapped in pink tissue paper. The governor ex­ amined the pen curiously, moistened it between his lips, wiped it upon his hair and then dipped it in the ink. As he was about to make the first stroke upon the paper, Senator Kelly intervened and asked where be came in, intimat­ ing that he Would like a souvenir of the momentous occasion. There was a brief pause and some little consterna­ tion in the ranks of the Vandercooka but a newspaper man came to the res­ cue with a suggestion that two pens be used, one for each of the statesmen. This was agreed to and the governor decided tv let the Vandercook pen write the “Aaron T.,” and make the Kelly pen responsible for the “Bliss.’’ As he again began operations with the Vandercook pen, the point struck a snag and the ink spluttered over the paper causing a general shudder to go through that little group, but a tighter grasp of the executive hand and anoth­ er dip into the ink resulted in a second and a better start, and the work of the Vandercook pen was finished. Then a new stub pen was obtained from the quartermaster general’s department and in due time the last section of the executive signature was applied. “You can accept them pens with my compliments," said the governor grace­ fully extending one in either hand, “and I hope that they will be handed down to prosperity without never a re­ gret at what they have wrote today." Mr. Vandercook made a little speech of thanks and the ceremony was over. But this is not to be the last of those pens. They cannot be hung upon any walls in Grand Rapids or Muskegon as was hoped, but Mr. Vanderoook must keep bis word nevertheless and turn over at least the “Aaron T." pen to Kalamazoo. Senator Kelly is under no obligation in the matter but common courtesy must prompt him to also let loose of the ‘•Bliss” section of the pens. It is suggested that the city of Muskef on join, with the city of Grand Rapids n making the occasion one long to be remembered. Thb mayor? of the two cities could appoint committees upon arrangements for an immense joint ex­ cursion to Kalamazoo, secure bands of music and a special car in which to carry those famous pens. It is believed that the Michigan Central could be Prevailed upon to donate a drawing car or the occasion. Excursions could be run from other competing cities, too, even including Decatur with its stage line > .nd brick town ball. But the real joys of the occasion must be reserved fcr Grand Rapids and Muskegon, and Representative Vandercook and Sena­ tor Kelly must deliver the eulogies. . Twenty-eight towns competed for the location of the new Western Michigan Normal School, but only three of them were seriously considered and Hastings was one of the three. And that may be some consolation for falling to land a state institution destined to be of great importance to western Michigan. Other compensating facts are that we shall not have to burden ourselves with an indebtedness of 875,000 to help the state pay for it while at the same time its location in our neighboring city will make it very accessible to students from Barry county. Still we believe that if the state board of education had decided upon Hastiugs instead of Kalamazoo the state of Michigan would never have had any cause to regret the decision. Last Friday morning the four mem­ bers of the board, L. L. Wright of Iron­ wood, P. H. Kelley of Detroit, Jas. H. Thompson of Evart, and Supt. Delos Fall of Albion, arrived in this city on the morning train from Grand Rapids. They were met at the station by some of our local committee and escorted to the Hastings house. Here the rest of the committee and several other gentle­ men who have been active in pushing the claims of this city met the visitors, and devoted the forenoon to entertain­ ing them. J. T. Lombard, Chester Messer and P. T. Colgrove took the party in their own private turnout* for a drive about the city. AH the sites were visited and the gentlemen expressed themselves as well pleased with them, especially with (he park south of the school grounds. The party then returned to the hotel [and the board gave a hearing te the committee. Rev. H. H. VanAuken, P. T. Colgrove, J. C. Ketcham, Judge Smith and Dr. Lowry addressed^ the board, and every point that had a bear­ ing upon the question was ably and forcefully presented. In fact the com­ mitted were prepared with an array of statistics and arguments that ought to have convinced the visitors, if they bad been open to conviction, that the school belonged by right of position, hqalthfulness and every other consideration to L.

RAIN COULD NOT STOP IT DID NOT LOSE ENTHUSIASM ON ACCOUNT OF WEATHER. Encampment Programs Thursday and Friday Carried Out Spite of Disagreeable Condition. The rain which began last Wednes­ day night and kept on falling all day Thursday and part of Friday, casting a gloom over everything and making every thing dut of doors disagreeable, seemed to have little effect on the boys in blue down on the fair ground. They kept fairly dry and comfortable in their tents and passed away the time in true soldier fashion, swapping yarns and renewing experiences of the past. In the afternoons and evenings they assembled in the grand stand where, sheltered from the weather the pro­ grams were carried out. Thursday af­ ternoon there was music by the band, and solos by Mrs. Frank Hams, Miss Lettie Garn, Miss Mary Smith and Frank Horton and a reading by Mrs. Jamison. Hon. W. W. Wedemeyer of Ann Arbor was the speaker of the af­ ternoon and it is unnecessary to say that be gave the boys an interesting talk. Thursday evening was so wet, dark and dismal that only a few ventured out. But there was a short program of impromptu talks by Chairman Hicks, Secretary Dennis, Lee Pryor and Phil­ ip T. Colgrove. Friday afternoon brought better weather and the largest crowd of the encampment. There was music by the band and a nice little talk by Mr. Colgrove, who filled in the breach caused by the fail­ ure of Senator Burrows to appear so well that the absence of the silver tongued orator from Celeryville was not seriously felt. Prosecuting Attor­ ney Fred W. Walker and Rev. H. H. VanAuken also spoke, and Mrs. Bessie George-Webb read a selection. An­ other feature of the afternoon’s exer­ cises and one that deserves especial mention, was the effective work of a children's chorus of seventy voices, led by Mrs. A. McCoy. The children gave the salute to the flag, and two choruses with most pleasing effect. At a business meeting of the associ­ ation Friday the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, W. F. Hicks; secretary, Dr. E. H. Lathrop; treasurer, Howell H.

Last Tuesday was the fiftieth anni­ versary of the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Robert BHvens and a number of their relatives and friends took advantage of the occasion to show their esteem and affection for the worthy couple. Mr. and Mrs. BHvens knew that their children and several intimate friends were coming that afternoon but when about sixty of them filed In, it would be putting it mildly to say their surprise was complete. A most enjoyable, social afternoon was spent. Refreshments were served. In the evening a number of their Odd Fellow friends dropped in on them unexpectedly and the evening was spent as had been the afternoon most enjoyably. They recleved many beautiful and useful presents as mementoes of the occasion, among others being a fine chair from the Odd Fellows. Mr. and Mrs. BHvens were married in Athehs, Pa., Sept. 1, 1853 an£ short­ ly afterward moved to Michigan and settled on their farm three miles south of Hastings, then a wild, unsettled tract of forest. Here they cleared the land and built their home and here they lived until about eleven years ago when they moved to this city. To them have been born three chil­ dren: Mrs. Homer Warner of this city, Mrs. Ralph Newton of Hope and Frank BHvens who lives on the old homestead. Wm.

It is the be­ lief of the president and Secretary Hay that the presence of the American fleet will act as a moral deterrent against the violence of fanatics toward the Americans, and will impress on the sultan the necessity of protecting American citizens. The president has executed what Is regarded as a very clever coup la deal­ ing with union labor in the govern­ ment printing office. He has instruct­ ed Public Printer Palmer to adminis­ ter to every employe the oath of al­ legiance, always exacted from em­ ployees of the government other than laborers. When the bookbinders first talked of going on strike because of the reinstatement in the government bindery, of their expelled member, William Miller, it was announced that under the law any man who has taken the oath of office and then conspired by striking would never be able to get his place back. Then it was discovered that the printers, binders, etc. had never taken any oath. The decision in the Miller case is still being delayed and meanwhile the employes of the office are being sworn in, so that it is believed that the president has found no ground in the charges preferred against him by the bookbinders' union for dismissing Miller, aad therefore the union men will be obliged to vio­ late their constitution, or revise it, as they will be forced to work under a non-union foreman. The investigation of the methods prevailing in the,print­ ing office, ordered by the president, has been completed but nothing is yet known of the results. ‘ President Roosevelt has from time to time been subjected to considerable criticism because it was alleged that he had permitted the railroad com­ panies to furnish bim with the specie) train with which he made bls western trip, but the more conservative news­ papers have refraibed from mentioning the subject because they could not as­ certain the facts. Now, however, a “friend” of the president comes for­ ward with an authorized statement in which he admits that Mr. Roosevelt travelled complimentary .but defends that course on the ground that Mr. Roosevelt was merely following the precedent set by Ibis predecessors, Cleveland, Harrison and McKinley. In his statement of tbe case the “friend” is mistaken however. Harrisson and McKinley traveled at the ex­ pense of the railroad companies but Mr. Cleveland always paid his own ex­ penses, including of course, the cost of the special trains on which be travel­ led. Mr. Cleveland, appears to have been the only recent president who hesitated to place himself under obli­ gations to the railroads.

In a discussion of rhe Panama canal matter between President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hay threw courses the administration could pur­ sue were taken up. The first Is to ig­ nore Colombia and proceed to con­ struct the canal under the treaty with New Granada in 1846, to fight Colom­ bia if she objects, and create an Inde­ pendent government of Panama cut of the present state of Panama. Thia would give the United States Ir expecteil to be a short and inexpensive war. but would Insure n permanent settlement of the question of the sov­ ereignty of tbe canal zone across tbe isthmus of Panama.

Troy, Ala., Aug. 81.—The evidence in the case of United States against Marion ^tth’X-ood, a wealthy planter and tu>jc«itine operator, which was heard heie before Federal Commissioner Tutwiler, skcen that poor whites as well as negroes are being held in slavery in Alabama. Brestwood was charged whL hold­ ing Robert English, a whit* x*?^. and his family of ten children In peonage. The evidence showed that Prastwood made a contract with Englib? in 1902 by which the former was to furnish the English family with rations in consideration of the latter working sixty acres on shares. When the crop was made Prestwood ceased to fur­ nish rations and seized the Crop. Forces a Contract. When the English family tried to secure work to save themneives from starving, Prestwood had ' old man six boys arrested, accusing them burning turpentine boxes valued at <46. This charge, Prestwood ad­ mitted to Commissioner Tutwiler, was groundless. After the arrest Prestwood told the men that as he controlled the magistrate ha could send them to the penitentiary, but he said that if the family would sign a contract to work for him -nta 1^05, to repay the <46, he would furnish them what they had to eat. Tte father wpd his sons being frightened, signed the contract and have since been at work for jstwood. The father and his six sons, who were brought before the cnmmicolouer, are pitifully Ignorant, and seemed to know no law above th? rlanter, who to them was all powerful. Witnesses Are Timid. It required the greatest oai'e and skill on the part of the ^tooials to avoid frightening the witnesses into panics of absolute silence.

The Kalamazoo board of education’ comes In for some criticism from lead­ ing citizens on account of tbe condltions attached to awarding tbe western Michigan normal school to Katamnzoo.

I am so cold and wet through!” exclaimed a soft childish voice. People heard the cry and would have knocked at the door, but the rain fell In torrents and the wind shook the windows so that no knocking could be heard. “Poor little chap!” cried the poet when he heard the voice, and, rising as be spoke, he went and opened the door. There stood a liftle boy nearly naked and with long, fair locks, from which the rain dripped. The boy shivered with cold, and, in­ deed, if he had not found shelter the poet thought he must have died. “Poor child," said the good man, tak­ ing him by the hand, “come in and you will soon be warm here, and then you shall have some hot’inulled wine and a roasted apple, for you are a pretty lit­ tle boy." to do with such a bad boy.

And this was quite true, for when be entered the house his eyes sparkled like two bright stars, and as the water dripped from his fair hair it fell into the most beautiful natural curia. He looked, indeed, like a little angel, al­ though he was pale with cold and shiv­ ered like an aspen leaf. In one hand he held a splendid bow, but the rich colors of both the bow and arrows had been quite washed away by the wet. The old poet again seated himself by the stove, on which the sweet mulled wine was being heated, and took the little boy on his knees, squeezed the water from his curls hnd held the child's hands In his own to warm them. After taking a little of the sweet mulled wine and eating a roasted apple the boy seemed rerived, and his cheek* became quite rosy.

Bucklen's Arnica Salve Has world-wide fame for marvellous cut* We were all waving palm lent fans, Young Lacy had reported for duty on tbe staff nnd vzas crazy to see fighting. We who had been In Cuba for months and bad all we could do to survive under tbe heat didn’t care especially tor anything hotter than a broiling sun. Consequently we were irritated at this baby faced boy who had just come down from the cool north and had not yet got heated up. There seems to be a natural law that veterans shall make the service of those newly jokied as bitter as possible. We let Lacy off by merely giving him tbe worst side of the story in words. "Spoiling for a fight, are you?” said Captain Knowles, the brigade ad­ jutant. "You’ll get it, and soon enough, don’t you worry. Perhaps'you'd like to know some of the. blessings of this liappy land. The first is the fevers. There are ail kinds of fevers laid down in the medical books under the com­ mand .of General fellow Jack. When Yellow Jack takes bold be begins with a gentle chill. Then he bits you In tbe small of the back with a club and makes you feel that you must be rubbed with a brick. Then the vomit­ ing begins. If It hasn’t begun already, followed In bad cases by throwing up blood. Then in fatal cases”— "Shut up. Knowles," said Lieutenant Anderson, an aid. "I’m turning yellow at listening to you.” "I don't like getting sick myself,” re­ marked the new man. "1 think I*d rather be killed in battle. Anyway, it's more glorious." "OU, you’d like that sort of death, would you?" snarled Knowles, "Perhaps it won't feel as well as it reads la tbe papers. "It ’ll &o in, ’Lieutenant Francis Lacy was shot through the lungs while gallantly fighting his way up to the enemy’s works.' That’s the romance of It. Do you want to bear the real thing?” “No,” said all the party of fan wavers. "This young man needs it and I’m going to give It to him. This is about the size of it: When the fight opens you try to pull yourself forward when it seems its if twenty strong men had a rope around your body trying to puli you back. Then the bullets begin to sing by your ears and you duck thosp .‘ that come too near. You see men bit beside you and lying down in pools of their own blood. ‘A pool of blood’ sounds very well in a description of the death of a hero, but It's a disgust­ ing, disagreeable sight. Welk now we come to Mr. Lacy. A Mauser bullet goes through bis lung and he knows he’s either got to bleed to death or choke”— “Oh, give us a rest. Knowles, thing's bad enough when it comes without dwelling on it beforehand." “We must all die some time, I sup poce,” said Lacy, but with none of the fire that had been in him when the catalogue of horrors commenced. “Yes: but you go out and stand in front of a Gatling gun and that ‘some time’ ’ll be pretty quick." Lacy got up and went away. "Reck­ on he don’t want to see a fight” said Knowles, “as much as he did.” Tbe next morning we pushed for­ ward to take up a position nearer to Santiago. The general bad us all out at 2 o’clock, sending us off on missions to different commanders whose corps were supporting or touching elbows with us. I was sent back to see to the bringing forward of some ammunition. ■When I rejoined the staff fighting was going on all along the line. As I rode up to the general I saw that moat of the staff except Lacy were with him. His eye wes fixed on a gap that was every minute widening between our extreme left and the extreme right of* the adjoining corps. "Some one go over there and see to it that that gap is closed," be said. He had a way of saying “some one” instead of ordering a special officer to perform a work, and usually his order was obeyed,' but on this occasion the way was not only difficult, but danger­ ous. Not a member of the staff stirred. The genera! looked at them surprised and-with a scowl. "What is It, general?’ said Lacy, who rode up the moment. "I want some one to ride over there and seejthat that gap is ctoaed." "All right” said the new man, and digging his spurs Into his horse's flanks be dashed away. "By thunder!” exclaimed the gen­ eral. "Is that fool boy going right be­ tween the fines? He’ll never get there tn the world.” We all looked after Lacy with mouth and eyes wide open. He shot through the thick fire of both armies, never wavering, never slackening his pace, while every moment we looked to see him go down. His horse itumbled once or twice and we saw him change tbe reins from his left to his right hand, Indicating that the left arm had been hit But be kept on in a bee line, not even picking the easiest path, till we saw him ride up to a general officer, salute, and deliver his message. "The Lord favors greenhorns,” ex­ claimed the general with a sigh of re­ lief. "He deserves to be court martlaled for want of brains, but I’m going to give him a good send off for that. Captain Knowles, as soon as this Is over promulgate an order reciting Mr. Lacy's service, mentioning him for con­ spicuous bravery." "Ye«, general.” said Knowles, salut­ ing respectfully.

MITCHEL. omance I am a man of dignity. It has been asserted that I have a certain pompos­ ity about me. While I am a bachelor of forty-five no man has ever charged me with any softness toward tbe other sex. My position was thus when the courts were closed for the summer season of a certain year and I retired to my usual resort on tbe seashore. It may not strike you as quite con­ sistent when I say that a few days, aft­ er my arrival a woman appeared who caught my attention. She was regis­ tered as "Mrs.,” and it waa understood that her husband would appear later. She was handsome,, well formed, re­ fined—In all outward respects a lady. I did not have speech with her, but I admitted to myself that but for my dig­ nity , and position I might have at­ tempted what is legally known as a mild flirtation. People seemed to understand IntuK tively that a judge of special sessions did not care to hear about trifles, and so no gossip was poured Into my ears. However, I learned later on seven or eight rooms were robbed inside of a week. The robberies occurred by day, and generally at meal times, and the plunder was money and jewelry. In one case the loss amounted to 5500, In another to 5800, In a third to over |1,000. After ti>e first complaint had been made the landlord set a watch, but in the face of that three more rooms were plundered and a confiding guest who kept several hundred dollars in his trunk Instead of the hotel safe found it missing one day after luncheon. Then two detectives were employed, and all the 250 guests felt themselves under espionage, if not suspicion—all but I. How could landlord, detective or any one else suspect the integrity of Judge Coke? Tbe robberies ceased as suddenly as they had begun, but for reasons known to themselves the detectives decided to search tbe baggage of certain guests, one of whom was tbe handsome Mrs. Blank. I heard nothing of this at tbe time, but as I left my room on the day of the search I encountered the lady with a small package Ln her band and she frankly said to me: "Judge Coke. I have not bad tbe honor of an introduction, but I wish to beg a favor of you. As the clerks are busy this morning, and as the porter does not look like a man to be trusted, you would put me under many obliga­ tions by taking this package to the ex­ press office. It is directed to my hus­ band, as you see. and contains papers that he must have soon. I am sorry to thus impose upon your good nature, but”— "Say no more, madam.” I Interrupted, as I took the package from her; "I shall be only too happy to be of service to you.” * I may have smiled as I lifted my hat and bowed, but I contend that I lost none of my dignity, and of course I did not make it an excuse for any extended conversation. I met her on the street, a full block from the hotel, upon my return, but as I handed her over the receipt I merely raised my bat again and spoke of the weather. The search was made quietly and with the consent of the guests, but it proved futile. The next three days passed without excitement, and I took It Into my bead to order a carriage and be driven out It has always been my opinion that a judge looks well as he rides out In a landau with head erect and arms folded. I was being bowled along the boule­ vard conectlng my resort with one five miles away, with my driver fully conscious of my dignity and impor­ tance, when a parasol was waved at me from the sidewalk, and I made out a lady at the end of it More than that I made out Mrs. Blank, who said to me as my carriage baited at the curb: “Judge Coke, were you going to drive over to Surf City?" "I am on my way there, madam.” I replied as my hat came off at tbe proper angle. "Then—then’’— "What is It madam?" "I have a friend over there who Is 111, and there is no train for two hours. I know It is presumption on my part but"— "Not at all, madam. Let me assist you In. I will have you there in threequarters of an hour, and the obligation will be mine." There were no languishing smiles, no googoo eyes on my part. Indeed, I think that most of our conversation during the drive referred to tbe law di­ rectly or Indirectly. I was a bit sur­ prised that she should ask to be set down on tbe public square instead of at her friend’s house, but dignity for­ bade me even to raise my eyebrows. She bowed and returned thanks; I raised my hat and murmured, "Don't mention It,* and we parted. My position demanded that I should forget her as soon as possible or until I met her at breakfast next morning, and I bad fairly succeeded when I re­ turned to the hotel two hours later. Then she rushed back Into my memory at a bound. Tbe landlord and the de­ tectives were looking for her. It had become known that she was an ad­ venturess whose photograph adorned more than one rogues’ gallery and who bad even “done time’’ for theft It was she who had cleaned out the rooms and given me the plunder to express away, and it was she who had robbed the hotel safe of about 52.000 at the noon hour as the clerk left for n mo­ ment. I had driven her over to Surf City that she might take tbe train and M.

Jimmy’s father likes rabbit meat and Jimmy wants to please him, so he thought he would get us in his trap and give us to bls father to eat But Instead of getting in we will wait out here until the farmer comes along and see what happens.” So they hid In the tall grass until they saw the farmer and his son com­ ing across the field. Jimmy thought that by this time there must be some­ thing in his trap, so be said to his fa­ ther: “Pop, I've got something for you over there in the grass. Go over and get It" "What Is it?" asked his father. "Never mind; you go over and see for yourself," said Jimmy, for he wanted to surprise his father. Mr. Jones walk­ ed along through the grass, but he didn't see the trap until the toe of his shoe struck it, and away he went heels over head on his nose on the ground. He scrambled to bis feet, as mad as he could be. and reached out and grabbed Jimmy by the collar. "So you hid an old box in the grass for me to stumble over and hurt my­ self, did you?” be cried angrily. “Well, I’ll teach you a little lesson that you will never forget” And with that be pitched Into Jimmy and gave him such a lambasting that he will never forget as long as be lives to tell the tale.

It has becnXn use for over thirty years, during which time many million bottles have beee sold and used. It has long been the standard and main reliance ip the treatment of croup in thousands of homes, yet during all this time no case has ever been reported to tbe manu­ facturers in which it failed to effect a cure. When given as soon as tbechild becomes hoarse or even as soon as tbe croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack. It is pleasant to take, many children like it. It contains no opium or other harmful substance and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by Dawson Bros., druggists. THE DAIRY COW. Bsttwr Prodnctlon. There is a certain type of,cow ex­ hibiting marks that Indicate dairy ex­ cellence. This is so well established as to make the decisions in tbe show ring and to enter in as an Important factor in the buying and selling of dairy animals. This matter of type is’ iBustrated in our station herd, tbe tend­ ency being for the animals scoring highest in the judging ring to be the largest and most economical producers of milk and butter. The animal scor­ ing highest Id the station herd has made a yield of ten times her weight Id milk and 68 per cent of her weight in butter In one year. Taking the whole herd into consideration the type wll^ not always follow the yield, the tions to the rule belng'sometlmes^qulte marked. Bogdanow, a Gerrr.tin au­ thority, made measurements in eighty cows whereby they were formed into groups of types. From the results, knowing the records of the animals, he concludes that there is an unmistaka­ ble relation between external form and production of milk and butter. Beach, from the results of experiment and ob­ servation, states that the type of the cow is more essential than the breed as Indicating the ability to produce milk and butter economically. The final test of any dairy cow is the amount of milk and butter fat she will yield for the food consumed. The dif­ ference in cows In this respect is quite marked. With the scales and tbe Bab­ cock test It is easy to learn what each individual cow is doing. While some animals in the dairy may be making profits others may be losing to such ah extent as to even wipe out the profits of the better cows. During the year under experiment our best cow gave an amount of milk and butter more than twice that of one of the poorer cows. Tbe difference in the gross receipts for the milk daring the first eight month* following calving was $184.80 In favor of the better cow. Waters and Hews found a difference of $33.10 In the profits of two cows fof 150 days. Be­ tween two others of accepted dairy form the difference was $14.99, and be­ tween two of similar type $12.48. The cow is a creature of habit, and therefore the time and manner of milk­ ing should vary as little as possible from day to day. The yield of milk will sometimes vary* by reason of mat­ ters of such small moment that we fail to reckon them. From our results a change in milkers showed a small aver­ age loss In yield. Some cows were no*, affected at all, while others gave a slightly reduced yield. This will de- -e- OAT ORPHAM. M,9M. [The foundation cow of the Kentucky ex­ periment station herd.] pend, however, upon tbe ability of the milker. Carlyle found no appreciable difference in tbe frequent changing ot milkers. Tracy found by a good milker following a carelese one an increase with five cows of 244 pounds ot milk in twtf weeks. Cows fed at milking time are apt to hold their milk when tbe customary feed is withheld. This may occur even when tbe animals have access to abun­ dant pasture This is ao noticeable With some of tbe station cows that It is advisable to give them a little grain through tbe summer season to induce them to give down their milk. Emery notes that a cow that gave over seven pounds of milk gave only two pounds at milking time.—-D. W, May, K Experiment fttatioo.

Jnst after the ceremony had been per­ formed a ray of sunshine broke through the clouds and shone upon the bridal couple for a moment, which was a sub­ ject of remark and some wondered If it might not be' an omen of good promise. Rev. George Bullen officiated, assisted by the bride’s uncle, Rev. D. Marsh of Charlotte. The bride was beautifully gowned in white and the g^room wore black. The trimmings and decorations were quite elaborate. After the greetings and congratula­ tions the company repaired to tho house where a bountiful repast awaited them. Those who had been Mrs. Lampman’s guests on former occasions were not surprised at the abundance and daintiness of the refreshments. Members of the Birthday Club assisted her in serving. • George B.

Dear Sir: Suppose you are going to paint a house, and ask all the painters there are witbin reach to bid on it— you to furnish materials, they to say what to use, and charge for time and the know-how. How many will use the same paint? .They, generally, will compound their own paints. There will be no two alike. And this Is the end of the notion that paint­ ers know how to make paint. They know how to put paint on; and that is their business. They ought to know what to buy. How many of them know what to buy? A blacksmith buys nails, because I better shoes and nails than be can make are made for less than he can make them for—by machinery. Wagon-makers buy wheels, because better wheels than they can make are made for less than they can make them for—by machinery. Why should a painter make bls own pain t, when he can buy better for less? We take the risk of how it turns out, besides. Devoe Ready Paint is the paint: lasts twice as long as the aver­ age painter’s paint—lead and oil. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co. P. S. Our agent in your city is Fred L. Heath. HuIl-VanAuken. The Harvest Picnic. After having been once postponed on account of inclement weather the Har­ vest Picnic was held Monday at Thorn­ apple lake under most favorable aus­ pices. Although it looked rather threatening in the morning the day turned out to be all that could be asked for and a large crowd was in attend­ ance, between five and six hundred being on the grounds. In the afternoon able addresses were made by P. T. Colgrove and J. C. Ketcham after which came the' races. The wiprfers of these were: 100-yard dash, Horace Palmer; 50-yard dash for boys under 12 years, Ben Brady of Nashville; married ladles’ race, Mrs. Wm. Andrews; young ladies’ race, Miss Jennie Ryan; race for girls under 12 years, Mary Spencer; married men’s race, Mr. Brady of Nashville; bop, skip and jump, Verne Manee; potato: race, Ben Brady of Nashville; 2(M>yard race which was run Instead of the boat race, Claude Pierron. The contest for the best housekeeper was won by Mrs. Mauer of Nashville. But interest was especially centered in the drawing of the horse./ Walter Abbott was lucky enough to bold the winning ticket >No. 26. The ladieo’ suit wus won by George McWha of Nashville, ticket No 74. Witnesses of the drawing were J. C. Ketcham, John Carmody of De­ troit and Mr. Hall of Nashville. Excellent- music was furnished throughout the day by the Hastings New Band. The picnic from a financ­ ial standpoint was a great success and everybody had a good time. Yesterday afternoon al 2:00 o’clock at the home of the bride’s parents, Rev. and Mrs. H. H. VanAuken, occurred the marriage of their daughter, Mary R, to John Hull, of Dimondale. The : ceremony was performed in the pres­ ence only of immediate friends and rel­ atives by the bride's father, Rev. H. H. VanAuken, assisted by her brother, Rev. Howard VanAuken of Middle­ ville. .

Kalamazoo has been selected by the. state board of education as the site of the normal college to be erected in west­ ern Michigan. In view of some of the demands of tbe state board, it is fortu­ nate for other towns that they were not selected. It is well enough for cities desiring state institutions to fprnish a free site and to extend its water and sewer systems to tbe grounds if neces­ sary, but when the state asks for a cssh bonus, of 840,000 from a city, it is carry­ ing the matter too far. The state of Michigan does not have to be in ihat sort of business in the first place, and ; ' secondly, if locations of state institu­ tions are to be determined by tbe amount of cash which the towns can put up, small cities and villages must here­ after be left out of consideration, no matter how advantageously they may be situated.—Lansing Journal. Money and Wall Street. Evidence is cumulative that thisnalion has plenty of money with which to cat'-y on its legitimate business and that the pressure for more is chiefly by the gamoling operators who are getting just such a lesson as they needed. They tempted the banks to loan their immense deposits from tbe west and now that the depositors want to check out for the Earpose of moving their crops there is a owl going up as though the westerners did not own tbeir own money and Wall street were being robbed. It is the reckless dealers who sell what-they do not possess, and buy without any expectatlon of a delivery, betting only on the rise or fall of tbe market, that are calling for more money, and if it be is­ sued they will absorb It, just as they have been doing. The popular setttiment is that the more they are squeezed the better it will be for legitimate busi­ ness and tbe rest of the country. They create the emergencies against which it is proposed to provide and the more the money tbe greater the emergencies. We have more money per capita than we ever bad before under a stable sys­ tem and tbe true problem of reform is to keep it in proper channels, not to . swell those which have caused all tbe trouble —Detroit Free Press. Yes, Very “Questionable.” The methods of securing a state nor­ mal school as recently exemplified in Michigan are somewhat questionable. Tbe junketing over tbe western half of tbe state by tbe committee included scores of towns that were not possibil­ ities. This might have been avoided, , and looks like a desire for recreation ’ rather than results Then the final de­ cision shows that tbe bigbest bidder for such public favors gets them. • • • To permit a wealthy municipality to draw to i tael fan institution of. this kind because of its ability to buy it, does not speak in tbe highest terms of the morals of the state. It is an enoourigementof methods which revert back to tbe days of fine wool sheep and lightning rods, or to coir h nearer, reflects the hues of means and ends that public sentiment is . now making a great effort to overcome and relegate to the rear. The state should be able to pay for its public in­ stitutions without resorting to the ac­ ceptance of bonuses paid for tbe secur­ . i ing of favors.—Charlotte Leader.

The Proper Method. ln propel for the « □ce taxation - Ont of . DeUw.r. A, ta. arisen a cloud which et.ee promlae of becoming a cyclone, causing havoc and disaster to the Roosevelt popularity in that state. Miss Hulda B. Todd, post­ master, or must we say (postmistress, at Greenwood, beiaware, has been re­ moved from office at the behest of Sen­ ator Allee, the Addlcks representative in the senate and tbe consequences of the removal promises to be dire. Ac­ cording to the residents of Greenwood, Miss Todd made a thoroughly efficient postmaster and according to Senator Ball she has been the best postmaster Greenwood ever had. Nevertheless, she was summarily dismissed by Post­ master General Payne. She came to Washington to learn the occasion of her dismissal after a service that covered five years and Mr. Payne told her she was-“person ally obnoxious to Senator Allee.” Since then Postmaster Gen­ eral Payne has explained that by a mu­ tual agreement Senator Ball was to con­ trol the federal patronage for Newcas­ tle county and Senator Allee that for Kent and Sussex counties. Miss Todd was an “anti-Addlcks republican’’ in Sussex county and of course Senator Allee claimed tbe right to name her successor. Tbe anti-Addlcks republi­ cans have now appealed the case to the president, asking it the welfare of the Addlcks machine must be regarded as sufficient reason for dismissing an effic­ ient federal employee. If Mr. Roose­ velt supports the postmaster general he will incur tbe enmity of all the antlAddicks republicans, and of all the re­ spectable element In the community. If he reinstates Miss Todd, he will incur the enmity of Addlcks. In either case bis action will split the Delaware dele­ gation to the next republican national convention. The importance of Delaware to a re­ publican presidential candidate Is con­ siderable and Mr. Roosevelt appreclat es that and has been making every effort to secure tbe support of the state, everr to the extent of treating with the notor­ ious Addlcks. Delaware is sixth on tbe roll-call of states and tbe first, save per­ haps California, where the delegation is likely-to vote other than unanimous­ ly. Unanimous votes during tbe early part of the roll-call are most important to a candidate because they ape likely to stampede the convention in hls favor. Soon after Mr. Payne became post­ master general he announced in an in­ terview published in these letters that, “Hereafter, fourth class postmasters shall be governed by the merit system and none shall be dismissed for politi­ cal reasons.” In view of this fact, the exception just made in Delaware and in favor of an Addlcks senator is most significant. It is also worthy of note, in this connection, that at the election of next fall the legislature which will select a successor to Senator Ball will be voted for. If present plans do not miscarry that election will result in the vote of the state for Roosevelt and for an Addicks legislature. That Is the program,'but it is more than possible that one energetic woman, Miss Huld?. Todd, may once more demonstrate that the “deep laid schemes of mice and men, etc.” New evidences of fraud in tbe Indian Territory are coming to light almost daily, but Secretary Hitchcock, who claims to have been aware of the exist­ ing abuses ever since last May, has not yet found a man whom he deems com­ petent to conduct the investigation or­ dered by the president. The secretary has also claimed that he had been con­ ducting an investigation for months but when asked to verify this statement be has been able to prove only that last July he asked a certain man to under­ take an Investigation and that this man refused. The efforts of the treasury officials to secure from Secretary Hitch­ cock an accounting of tbe funds accru­ ing from the sale of town lots in Hobart, Lawton add Anadarko, Oklahoma, have thus far proved unavailing. The sec­ retary refuses to recognize any authori­ ty an tbe part of the auditors to ask an accounting and, as Comptroller of the Treasury Tracewell is away on bls va­ cation, do further action has been taken in tbe premises. Acting Attorney General McRey­ nolds has announced that be some weeks ago, put In operation an Investigation of all tbe employes of the department of justice in tbe Indian Territory, includ­ ing four United States attorneys, their assistants, marshals and others. Mr. McReynolds also admits that there are grave charges against his subordinates which have not heretofore come to light, including the allegation that they have shared in the profits from illegal liquor selling, have secured a commission on tbe contracts for feeding prisoners and 1 dUtniMal of Miller on charges preferred against him since his reinstatement by the book binders’ union. It is also predicted that the president will adopt the recom­ mendation of bls investigating com­ mittee and Instruct that typesetting ma­ chines be installed in the government printing office. Tbe official^ in charge of the postoffice investigation promise more important indictments in tbe near future. An apparent attempt to let the investiga­ tion die out recently met with -uch a storm of indignant editorials from the republican as well as from the demo­ cratic press, that there seems to be re­ newed energy instilled into tbe situa­ tion, and the promise of “more indict­ ments” is received in good faith. It is not judicious to say against whom these Indictments are to be rendered but it may be said that they concern the legal end of the postoffice department. * Caution! . This is not a gentle word—but when you think how liable you are not to purchase the only remedy universally known and a remedy that has bad the largest sale of any medicine in tbe world since 1868 for the cure and treat­ ment of consumption and throat and lung troubles without losing its great popularity all these years, you will be thankful we called your attention to Boschee’s German Syrup. There are so many ordinary cough remedies made by druggists and others that are cheap and good for light cold perhaps, but for severe coughs, bronchitis., croup— and especially for consumption, where there is difficult expectoration and coughing during tbe nights and morn­ ings, there is nothing like German Syrup.

Listen to the following bit bite humor in ha last Week’s p teie: “Both the Journal and Herald I here been pegging away to have tbe ■ state tax cotnmiasios called 'x>. this city 1 to review aaseumenu. For once they had their way and now we hope they [ are satisfied.” How the readers of our funny con­ E; temporary must have held their sides E . with laughter when they read this bit f of drollery! And as they thought of the columns and pages of pathetic and L. doleful complaints about the iniquity of R the board of review that have appeared g- in the Banner almost every week since | the taxes were assessed, how their mer­ riment must have redoubled! ■ • . Of course the dear, innocent organ of ■ . Barry county republicanism bad noth­ - ing to do with getting tbe tax commis| sion here! Its complaints about wicked [ Bill Hicks and his minions, Tom Sulli| van and Bob Dawson, pitiful and heart * '■ rendering as they were, didn’t count 11 for scent in stirring up strife and dis­ content, and in carrying abroad theimpression that there was something rot­ ten in Denmark (or Hastings) which ■ needed the investigating efforts of the I state tax commission. All those col­ . utnns of eloquence and logic and figures which filled tbe Banner’s pages and . made us all believe that we had an . awfully wicked board of review and that .■ ■ th© whole town was going to the demni­ tion bow-wows unless Boss Hicks could be once and forever squelched, bad nothing at all to do with bringing the tax commission here to review assess­ ments. Does tbe Banner really be­ lieve that Its words have so little in­ fluence? We wouldn’t have thought it ’• could make such a humiliating confesgion. x And not only that, but how compllmentary our contemporary is to its . democratic rivals. The Herald, it , says, and the Journal have been “peg­ ging away” to bring the state tax com­ mission here. Now the Herald has only referred to the commission inci­ dentally by suggesting to the Banner that if it did not feel satisfied why not have that body come here and straight­ en things out. Does the Banner mean to mt that one little suggestion in the Herald has more influence than whole pages in its own columns? Thanks, for the compliment. But to take our contemporary seriously» why should we sot be satisfied to have the tax commission review the .' assessments? Has any fair minded per­ son anything to fear from the presence and investigations of the tax commis­ sioner? Is not the sole purpose of this board to secure justice and equity? Certainly the Herald is satisfied to have the commission come here. Can tbe Banner truthfully say as much? A Spoilsman in His Cabinet? WhU * humlllaliog petition tor * cabinet officer! Wbu »o embarrmsmentnoh it poeUnaaler general mutt be to «icb a civil service reformer m Toddy Booeevelt! Can it be that be will keep snob a spoilsman as Payne In hls cabinet? Mr. Kelley's Reason. In an Interview in Sunday's Free Press, Mr. P. H. Kelley, member of the state board of education, defends tbe action of tbe board in demanding a <40,­ 000 bonus from Kalamazoo on tbe ground that .the appropriation made by tbe legislature was not large enough. The law appropriated <37,000, of which <25,000 ir to be used for tbe building and the rest for equipment and main­ tenance. “With the <40,000 additional that Kalamazoo will give,” says Mr. Kelley, “we shall have enough to erect a fairly respectable building—one that will not be a disgrace to the state.” All very plausible of course, but is it not a greater disgrace to tbe state to go around begging sites for state institu­ tions or putting up their location to the highest bidder? What right has the boart! to mulct the city of Kalamazoo <40,000? If the need of more money was tbe main thing, why did not these high and mighty officials locate the school at Grand Rapids where they might have demanded 8100XXX) just as fairly as they held up Kalamazoo for <40,000. If the law does not provide for os much money as their own ideas call for, why not leave the disgrace and the re­ sponsibility where it belongs, with the legislature? The legislature repre­ sents the will of the people of Michigan, and it is arrogance pure and simple for a board having powers delegated to it by the legislature to go beyond its instructions, putting itself above ita creator.

There Is no American boy or girl who doe® not know of the great poet, Al­ fred Tennyson, and who will not be glad to hear of bhi gentleness to ani­ mals. One day the poet arrived at Hash'mere station carrying a heavy packet of books. Hls own carriage was not to be seen, so be was glad to accept a lift borne. Going up the steep hills to Biackdown, Tennyson, with hls usual thoughtfulness for horses, sug­ gested that two men and their books jrere too heavy a load for one small pony and proposed that be and bls friend should get out and walk. They therefore jumped down and walked for some distance in front of the trap, the little horse following. Suddenly, howeref, they found that the books were gone! They had dropped out on tbe way. The poet was asked to stand by the pony’s head while hls companion went back to look for them. They were not found for some time, and the pony, tired of waiting, grew very rest­ less. When hls master came back, knowing that tbe little fellow bad a great dislike for strangers, he asked how Tennyson had managed to keep him quiet He was astonished to find that the poet had done thi® by holding hls watch from ■ time to time to the pony's ear, as yoq may sometimes see a mother do to amuse her baby —De­ troit Free Pres®. surface ot the nail, bat Don’t visit your manicure too o Too much manicuring Is worse not enough.

Frappe, a French artist, says that ail facial expressions can be reduced to three typical forms—astonishment, joy and sorrow.

Probably If asked offhand In which country of tbe whole world are women employed In largest number* In “gain­ ful occupations” the man in the street would promptly answer, “In tbe United States," and feel sure he was right But It is not so. On the contrary, there is a smaller percentage of women at work In tbe United States than In any other civilized land. Such Is the testi­ mony of tbe statistical year book of the German empire. According to that high authority, only 143 per cent of the total self supporting population of this coun­ try are females, while in Germany tbe •percentage Is 25, in England 27, In Italy 40, in Austria 47. Ralph Waldo Emerson said In substance that the standard of a nation’s civilization and j culture Is fixed by the status of Its wo­ men. If that is true. America, where women toll least and enjoy most, must be leading the march of modern na­ tions.—New York World.

Fineness is not a safe guide either for durability or lasting beauty of ta­ ble linen. Weight is the standard of price, and it is not advisable to buy ta­ ble linen that weighs less than four and a half ounce® per square yard. The comparative merits of bleached and unbleached napery depend upon the use to which it la to be put For common or rough use it Is often well to buy tbe unbleached and also In the country or suburb®, where one can bleach It on the grass or out In the sun. Never buy a mixture of cotton and linen and beware of damask that is stiff and cracky, for it has probably been starched to make It appear of bet­ ter quality than it really is.

Slowly but steadily women are feel­ ing tbeir way toward the attitude men have so long assumed—that gloves are worth while, regarded only from the utilitarian standpoint, as coverings to keep tbe Hands either warm or clean. There is only one occasion when a man puts on gloves In deference to etiquette. That Is when be dances. During warm weather women are only too glad to accept tbe masculine arguments against glove wearing, as many a pair of tanned bands reveals. The first step toward the emancipation of women from gloves was taken when tbe fact was published that small, tight fitting glove® are really Inelegant, Induce red noses and make tbe bands look yellow and wrinkled.

Dear Father, Mother, Sister and Friends: As we have a chance to send mail back to the United States, I will write all I can. As I have only two^beets of paper you will have to excuse the short­ ness of my letter. We are still on the transport Sherman and have not yet reached Manila. We expect, however, to drop anchor tonight. We have had very pleasant trip and very nice weath­ er, although we had a few sudden show­ ers. We passed about five sailboats on our course, the last one being yesterday. It was an English boat and hailed from Shanghai. It had been having bad luck as they had lost their course and the captain was very sick. The sailors said they were sixty-five days out of Shanghai. Our boat stopped and gave them rations and medicine. I saw a great many flying fish all along the way and yesterday we saw a large school of porpoise. We stopped at the island of Guam and unloaded a lot of provisions for the marines. Well, we are now qne day ahead of your time as this is the 26th of July here and it is the 25th there. I sup­ pose we will be kept on the boat until the 29th or 30th. We do not know yet where we will be Bent. There are be­ sides the squadron of the 12th, tbree bataliions of the 17th Infantry. We were a very sick lot of fellows about two days out of ‘Frisco. I was not very sick any of the time but I did not feel well by a long ways. It is a very strange feeling to try to walk en deck and when you take a step you go four or five feet lower than you expected to, or the floor comes up to meet your foot. Frank and I are both well and doing finely. There are only three fellows out of troop D in the hospital—one has the mumps and the others no contagecus disease—so you see we are all O. K. There are about fifty women on board the transport. We are gening good feed. Chester G. Enoelhart, Troop D, 12th Cav. Batangus, Aug. 3, 1903.

There is no issue behind any one of them, except possibly in the case of JustusS. Stearns. The issue is simply the job. Neither Warner nor Diekema suggests single reform. They dare not. It isn't reforms that the politicians want, and it would be fatal to any man’s chances with the wire-pullers to place himself on record as desiring to bring abouv economy In tbe management of state affairs. No candidate wishes to urge the necessity for cutting off some of the grafts that have been fastened upon the state because be would have the grafters after him in short order.

Lack of Unity In the East. The Bulgarians, Macedonians, Ser­ vians, Moulenegrans and other inbabitants of tbe Balkan states seem to be doing pretty well in their endeavor to • stir up a rumpus, but it is very appar­ ent that they would do much better if they would only get together. The same is true of the Armenians. Syrians and all the other oppressed Christian subjects of Turkey. If only tbe various malcontents of the empire could unite, the overthrow of the sultan’s power would be a matter of a very short time. The fact is, however, that the Chris­ tian sects of the east, whose name is ■- legion, bate each other as fiercely as they do the Ottoman oppressor.

Admiral Cotton, . however, has steadfastly resisted tbe pressure brought to bear upon him, and naa to all requests for a guard replied that it was not his province to interfere in a quarrel between Ottoman subjects.

Delaware, and appointed as her successor a henchman of Allee, the Add leks senator. Numerous protests followed this action and Payne explain* ed that be had taken the action because Miss Todd's “term” bad expired and, according to an agreement between Allee and Ball, the Delaware senators, the former had a right to control the federal patronage in that county. Pro­ tests were lhen sent to the presitent and he announced that he had called on Payne for an explanation t>f bls action. To this Payne replies with an inter­ view in which he says that the agree­ ment was made with the knowledge and approval of*the president, that he re­ ported on the case to the president at Oyster Bay before the president called for an explanation and Intimates that in saying be had called for a report the president Is “playing io the galleries.” Mr. Payne b as also sal d th at h« la weary of taking the blame for other people’s mistakes. Just what be means by that no one appears to know but an interest­ ing denoument seems likely to follow. Meanwhile, the press, regardless of party, is refusing to believe that Roose­ velt was party to any such contract with the representative of “the most notor­ ious political corruptionist in the coun­ try," as one republican paper described Addicks, and everyone is demanding Payne’s resignation. Four more persons have been indict­ ed during the past week in connection with the postal frauds, although it is said at the postoffice department that the most sensational cases are yet to come. Last week's indictments reveal three hew cases of “graft” whereby Machen used his place to defraud the government. In one instance be was collecting, by means of a go-between, 63 cents on every package mail box, af­ ter having arbitrarily raised the price to the government 11.25; in another in-, stance be is shown to have been collect­ ing from one-half to one-fourth the net profit on every letter box sold the post­ office department since 1893; and in still another he is shown to have been, with George W. Beavers and James W. Er­ win, an assistant superintendent of free delivery, a stock bolder in a concern which was selling to the government at an exorbitant price a simple little de­ vice which is attached to mail boxes in some cities and which indicates when the next collection will be made. On the letter box contract it is claimed that Machen pocketed not less than $15,000, possibly much more.

URGES INTERVENTION AT ONCE Threatens to Begin Campaign Unless the Powers See Fit to Suppress the Turkish Rising by Legitimate Methods of Warfare. London, Sept. 14.—It is unofficially announced that Bulgaria will go to war with Turkey unless the powers take some radical steps to put a stop to the atrocities now being committed against the Christians in Bulgaria. The Sofia correspondent of the Lon­ don Telegraph sends a dispatch, under Sunday’s date, defending the policy of Bulgaria. He says: "Bulgaria has displayed unexampled moderation.

Section 1. The city rrf Haiuinjrs ordains that The ’general arrangement of the ■ leaves on limbs and stalks of trees and plants secures between each sufficient space to prevent one leaf from Interfer­ ing with another. And not only akv leaves so a rranged as to exist independ­ ently of each other, but in a general way they have taken upon themselves the forms_ best adapted to secure the maxImunTo? sunlight as it is showered upon them in different latitudes. At the equator, where the sun's rays are vertical, we find large flat leaves like those of the banana, plantain and the various species of the cactus. Farther north, where sunlight strikes at an angle, small leaves and pine "nee­ dles" are found. Then again note the peculiarity of the Australian gum tree. Instead of exposing their broad faces to the sun the edges only are so turned. Were It otherwise the sun would rob them of all their moisture, it being a well known fact that the gum tree grows in the driest region pn earth. While Dr. Theobald Smith was a lec­ turer on bacteriology in the medical department of the Columbian universi­ ty a. boy came to him with a message from a relative who was visiting in Washington. When the boy saw the doctor he put the note back In his pock* et, saying, “It's another Dr. Smith the note is for.” "Let me see the name on the envel­ ope," said the doctor curiously. "That Is my* name. The note Is for me.” "But I was told." replied the boy, “to give it to the bald Dr. Smith.” "Oh, you got turned around a little on the name, that's all,” replied the doctor, reaching for the note. And it took considerable argument to convince the boy he was the right man. To become sun drunk Is a condition into which any one may fgJl In the tropics. Exposure to the sun's rays will reduce a man to a condition almost ex­ actly resembling drunkenness. He stag­ gers about and is usually compelled to lie down and “sleep It off.” Sun drunk­ enness Is sometimes accompanied by nausea. Another curious fact In con­ nection with life In the tropics, where the sun rises at the same time all the year round, is that if you do not get up before sunrise you do not feel well all day. You feel heavy, out of sorts and have a tendency to sickness. Every one of us casts a shadow. There hangs about us - sort of penum­ bra—a strange indefinable something which we call personal influence—which has its effect on every other life on which It falls. It goes with us wherev­ er we go. It is not something we can have when we want to have It and then lay aside at will, as we lay aside a garment It Is something that always pours out from our life, like light from a lamp, like heat from ajlaine, like per­ fume from n flower.

Their or­ ganizers have a double object in view, for through the love of flowers they see a means of getting children inter­ ested in municipal work. Seeds are furnished for a mixed garden, and the boys and girls in some. places are asked to write to the Im­ provement league telling tbe kinds of flowers they desire. Asters, panales, mignonette and pinks seem .favorites, and after the children get the seeds they spend part of the "busy hour” In school making little paper boxes ac­ cording to kindergarten methods in which to keep them until planting time comes. Great preparations are made in the school grounds when that time arrives. Usually the boys make beds if neces­ sary, dig the post holes and plant the* poets. The girls plant the seed, and the children together weed the garden and tend the plants, watering them and training them until fall, when the coveted prize Is given for the best school yard. The prize Is frequently a picture for the schoolroom wall, and when it Is presented with a speech made by some distinguished citizen the enthusiasm of the children knows no bounds.

CORNWALUS WEST ! (Formerly Jwilit I E CHIEF CHARACTERISTIC OF THE AMERICAN WO­ MAN I* HER VERSATILITY. THIS IS FOSTERED BY AMBITION. HER ACTIVE MIND SEEMS TO OPEN ALL PATHS TO HER. Beauty and charm in woman and good fellowship in man will take them into fastidious, refined circles in Britain where dull duchesses and rich bores seek en­ trance in vain. Compared with England’s, AMERICAN SOCIETY IS RESTRICTED, NARROW AND ARTIFICIAL, and it take, a long time to break down the barriers.' Americans are often credited with loving titles. In a sense the criticism is true, but only inasmuch as, striving always to'have the best of everything, including society, THEY MAKE THE MIS­ TAKE OF THINKING THAT THE ARISTOCRACY of the country must represent the MOST CULTURED AND REFINED of its inhabitants. Unfortunately this is not always so, but it is obviously unfair to reproach the American woman fof seeking what in every other country in the world BOTH SEXES STRUGGLE FOR—social or material advancement ’ Certainly in the way of book learning SHE IS BETTER READ, and, having generally traveled before she makes her appear­ ance in the world, by the time she is eighteen she is able to assert her views on most things and her independence in all. SHE SELDOM LOSES HER HEART—NEVER HER HEAD, THE COLD­ NESS WITH WHICH SHE IS REPROACHED BEING PERHAPS ONE OF THE SOURCES OF HER POWER. It has often been attributed to American women that they are queens in their own country, caressed and honored from infancy, and that, wielding an immense capricious power in being treated as god­ desses behind the altar, rather than as comrades in the lines' of battle, their confidence in themselves is naturally unbounded. THE CONSENSUS OF OPINION IS THAT THE AMERICAN GIRL IS PERHAPS THE BEST DRESSED WOMAN IN THE WORLD. THE GENTLE ART OF JOLLYING “When I read of folks finding bank notes stuffed in old sofa pillows and pincushions," said a west side dealer in secondhand household furniture to a New York Times man, “It Just makes me ready to cry. Half the stories print­ ed about such finds 1 don’t believe. I’ve been in this business thirty-one years right here In little old New York.

The train rattled on, and as they sat so near togethef, yet so very far apart, the thoughts of each turned to the last time-they had traveled that road to­ gether, on their first visit home after their honeymoon. How happy they had been then! How happy they might have been now if only that little rift within the lute— Through tbe mind of each tbe same questions rang—had there been just and sufficient cause? .A little patience, a little forbearance, a little sacrificing of pride at the beginning— Chatterton looked down at the slight figure beside him. They would not be able to deceive the little mother after all. Happy? With the old sparkle all gone from ber eyes and those pathetic little lines about ber mouth! And he had sworn to love her, to cherish her and protect her through good and 111 till death should part them. Instinc­ tively his hand closed over,hers as it lay listlessly on the seat beside him. At the touch of his fingers she turned, and something shone in her eyes as she drew closer to him. “Dear," she said softly. “I'm so lone­ ly, so tired and so sorry. Will you”— His flrm clasp of tbe hand tightened as the conductor threw open the door and shouted. "Aylwin next station!” “Hush," he whispered. “It was all my fault, little girl. I have been a brute, but all the rest of my life I shall make atonement, for we’ll start all over again, and—we won’t have to act a lie to tbe little mother, will we, Madda ?’’ And. though she answered nothing In words, each understood and was hap­ py. - By LEOLA ALLARD, Northwestern University [1ST think HOW WE WASTE EVENING AFTER EVENING in perfecting ourselves in the gentle art of jollying! It isn’t half bad for those we practice on, but the end is not yet. OF COURSE SOME ARE BORN JOLLIERS, some achieve the art of jollying and some go to college, but there are few if any who have never heard of it.

It is not always to and from the opposite sex that these bouquets are thrown, but the giris carry on among themselves a large trade in artificial flowers. Though we all have an admiration for the genuine, I think not many of us would care to give up our share of these floral distribu­ tions. They may be paper, but they look all right AND WE TAKE THEM IN THE SPIRIT IN WHICH THEY ARE GIVEN, and if they lend any brightness to our short lived, foolish youth WHY DO AWAY WITH THEM for the serious, mind burdening sentiments of maturer years? • Woman's Industrial Emancipation By CARROLL D.

Nature has no inten­ tions and evolution has no limits. TRUE SCIENCE TEACHES THAT THE ELEVATION OF WOMAN IS THE ONLY SURE ROAD TO THE EVOLUi TION OF MAN. As woman has the power given her to support ■ heraelf she will be less inelined to seek MARRIAGE RELATIONS SIMPLY FOR the purpose of securing what may seem to be HOME AND PROTECTION. • ! One of the greatest boons which will result from the industrial emancipation of woman will be the frank admission on the part of the . true and chivalric man that she is the SOLE RIGHTFUL OWNER OF HER OWN BEING in every respect; that whatever com­ panionship may exist between her and man shall be as thoroughly ; honorable to her as to him. | IN CALLING* WHERE MEN SURRA** WOMEN, WOMEN WILL *E OBLIGED TO ABANDON THE FIELD; BUT WHERE SERVICE* ARE PER­ FORMED WITH EQUAL SKILL AND INTEGRITY BY BOTH THERE WILL COME HONEST COMPETITION ANO AN EQUALIZATION OF COM­ PENSATION. | So in her political ambition she must be content to stand Or fall by tbe same rule.

The secretary will be at the county teen to Eighty-nine Per Cent. The management has spared neither pains nor expense to make the first fair in the second half century of the Barry County Agricultural Society the best ever held in the county. Every person who has attended our fair for the last few years knows that our attractions have been first-class. The reputation which has been won in the past will be more than sustained this year. The finest and highest class of specialties has been secured this year and everv interval between the races will be filled in with something bright, inter­ esting and thrilling. All attractions (except balloon ascensions) will take place in front of the grand stand, and whenever opportunity is given the most popular of the events will be re­ peated on the same day. The famous Gregg Brothers, dare devil riders of the world, will give their wonderful Loop the Loop performance each day. Riding on a bicycle from a hight of thirty feet, down an inclined track at an angle of forty-five degrees and going at lightning speed around a perpendicular loop eighteen feet in diameter, and being at one point in the circuit head downward. This thrilling performance is alone worth coming miles to see. Another marvelous cycle nevelty is the original Cycle Whirl in which the skillful wheelmen chase each other around the cycle in a horizontal posi­ tion, with thrilling effect. The “Great LeShe,” marvelous slack wire artist, walks a slack wire fifteen feet in the air without balancing pole and performs many feats of great dex­ terity, such as taking off several suits of clothes, performing with chair, glass of water, etc. Mr. Le She will delight all who attend the fair, giving his wonderful performance twice every day. The Silver Tone Quartette, consist­ ing oi four colored artists, will give programs of songs with megaphones, sketch work, monologue work, songs and dances each day. Their perform­ ance will be high class and very enter­ taining. A ball game between the champion amateur clubs of the state, Ionia vs. will be played at 10 o'clock Wednesday. Don’t miss the game, it will be a hot one. * The track has been put in fine con­ dition and the trotting promises to be up to the usual high standard. Entries are coming in daily, insuring well con­ tested races each day of the fair. Balloon ascensions every afternoon by Prof. Andrews. Remember, there will be special at­ traction* in front of the grand stand in the forenoon as well as in the after­ noon. Firemen’s annual dance Thursday evening, Oct. 1. at the city hall. Music, Troxel’s orchestra of eight pieces. Bill 81.00. In addition to the special attractions above mentioned there will be other excellent shows on the ground. Everybody come and help make Barry county fair not only best in qual­ ity and attractiveness but also best financially in the history of the society. Music will be furnished by the HastCity Band and Troxel’s Trombone Quartette. There will be a school exhibit in Floral ball which everybody should see. Half fare on railroads. 11.00 It will be remembered that when State Tax Commissioner Freeman was here a couple of weeks ago he took the tax rolls of the several townships to Lansing. Yesterday County Treasurer Coleman received them back, contain­ ing the changes made by the commis­ sion. An examination of the rolls shows a general increase for the whole county, varying from 17 per cent, to 89 per oenu Most of this increase is on real estate and so far as it is general In a township it can not affect individual taxes for local purposes. The following table shows the totals for the several townships, and the per cent, approximately of increase, the township of Barry alone being omitted as the roll for that township has not yet been returned: To the Editor of the Herald: Dear Sir: We feel a desire to thank you for telling the people of Hastings about Devoe Ready Paint, iu compari­ son with lead and oil; but are restrain­ ed by the fact that your business is to print news, all the news, especially good news. It concerns every man that owns a i i sssssssasRssswas house; it concerns every painter. Scarcely one of your readers is not con­ cerned with a paint that saves men, on the average, several dollars a year apiece. And a painter, whose work lasts twice as long as the work of other “good painters,” of course, will get all the business as soon as the fact is known. . But people won’t wait for proof, when we authorize our agents to sell it under this guarantee: I E “If you have any fault to find with this paint, either now In putting it on ■ 1 or hereafter in the wear, tell your dealer about it.” “We authorize him to do what Is right at our expense.” • ;Sj? i I The usual painter’s saying is that lead is good for three vears; Devoe •fl sip H Ready Paint is good for six years—yes, for ten or fifteen in favorable circum­ stances, if you mean “Auros water.” Yours truly, The Hastings Table Co. was raised F.

Apropos of the Todd case, th^e'Delaware postmaster or postmistress, who was dismissed from the service to please Allee, the Addicks Senator, Civil Ser­ vice Commissioner Greene has made public a'statement in which be points out that by virtue of the civil service regulation which was signed last March by President Roosevelt And which went into effect on April 15, even fourth class postmasters are included in a measure, In the classified service. By that regu­ lation it became unlawful to dismiss any federal employee for political or relig­ ious reasons. Therefore, according to Commissioner Greene, the dismissal of Miss Todd to please Allee was clearly unlawful. Now it is reported from Oyster Bay that the president is in­ censed at Mr. Greene for thus “annoy­ ing a cabinet officer.” There can be no doubt that Postmaster General Payne was seriously annoyed by Greene’s published interview, but that the president should be annoyed with Greene is incredible as Greene was on­ ly doing the duty with which be is charged, seeking to see that the civil service regulations are respected.. Probably the facts are that the presi­ dent is really annoyed wiih Payne for precipitating the entire Todd matter, but being afraid to quarrel with the postmaster general almost on the eve of an election, he relieved his feelings by saying a few things about Greene. There have been three more indict­ ments, against two persons, returned by the District of Columbia grand jury. One of these is against George W. Bea­ vers, former superintendent of salaries and allowances, the other is supposed to be against a New York politician whose identity is still concealed. It is now predicted that the grand jury will com­ plete Its work by October 5, and that will close the postoffice investigation. It is more than likely that several more indictments will be returned against Beavers as the inspectors seem to have learned his methods and to be tracing bis various conspiracies to defraud to their source. An important decision has just been rendered by United States Commissioner Hitchcock !u New York, whereby Beavers is denied the privilege of learning all of the evidence which the government has against him in ad­ vance of his trial, and is obliged to re­ turn to the Brooklyn jurisdiction from which he precipitately fled as soon as be learned that be was indicted. This same precedent will doubtless stand in the cases of Maurice Runkle, Isaac S. McGieba, George H. Huntington and Beavers himself again, when an attempt is made to bring them to Washington on indictments returned here. This decision is the occasion of great rejoic­ ing by the officials of the postoffice and the department of justice. - in Washington. A Boy’s Wild Ride for Life.

SCARE BRINGS SLIGHT ADVANCE Price Drops to Normal Basis on Con- . fileting Reports and Selling by Coun­ try Holders—Warm Weather la Ex­ pected to Even Up Matters. - Chicago. Sept. 21.—The corn belt • was visited las* week by a cold wave, which brought frosts to all the Impor­ tant surplus states, killing frosts over Nebraska and northwestern Iowa, and light to heavy frosts over parts of Kansas, Missouri, Illinois,. Indiana and ;. Ohio. The market was much excited during the several days when frosts, were predicted for this entire terrl- 1 tory and were impending over It, but for all that it closed at prices fully lo lower than they were before the first hint of frost had been given, having lost all the moderate advance of about 2c and more. It was another case where, so far as the hopes of the bull speculator were concerned, the pleas­ ures of anticipation were greater than those of realization. Walt for Warm Weather. It remains to be seen, with the more accurate knowledge which a week of warm weather and careful investiga- ■ tion will bring, how widespread and disastrous the damage by the cold wave has been. With a good deal of late corn, which the trade has been told so often must have a favorable fall, with frosts deferred two or three weeks later than usual to be saved at all. It seems certain that considerable damage must have been done, but the general opinion in tbe trade is that the damage has not been widespread nor serious enough to justify the long­ er maintenance of prices over 50c, & figure which, considering the general improvement in the crop the last month or two. preceding the cold wave, is now generally considered, "frost” price. . Reports Are Conflicting. Reports from the fields, from Ne­ braska, from Iowa and from this statewere so conflicting during the few days of frost and immediately follow­ ing them—claims of damage offset by positive assertions that no damage or little had been done, and that la fact the corn had been benefited by the light frosts, which would check growth and hasten maturity—that the trade in general assumed not muchharm had been done. It remains to be seen whether this1 view is correct and which contention Is right, the claim that frosts can be In any way or hl any time a help to corn being vigorously scouted and de­ nied by some of the veterans in the trade. That tbe advance in the mar­ ket under conditions which seemed to promise as widespread damage as Se­ vere and general frosts could work vi&8 so slight and so soon lost ently confirms the theory that the>> price had already discounted all the •_ damage the freeze was likely to do. Froat« Save Speculators. Many people have beep buying co®n. in an anticipation of early frosts, and’ elther had or were threatened with considerable losses when the frosts^ finally came. Such holders as a rule were glad to sell at a moderate ad­ vance. and there was not enough naw; ' buying to absorb their offerings and? run away with the market. Tbe May delivery only reached 52’^c, or not within a cent of toe high price reached In July, at a time when the crop was so backward the bull con- • vlction was that not over 1,800.000.000 bushels could possibly be raised. The crop, came on faster than expected, there was undoubted Improvement in spite of conditions which were fre­ quently unfavorable, and a yield of 1,­ 800,000.000 bushels is now probably the minimum which may be expected, even if the damage by frost last week was more serious than the trade is yet willing to believe*. Country Resumes Selling. The country has resumed selling cash corn in a moderate way since the frost, as if the country speculator and dealer, like the city operator, did not consider the damage grei Argentina is still marketing corn lu Europe at a rate to indicate not mu h need of American surplus for <. port, over 4,­ 000,000 bushels being shipped last week.

Both were members of company B, Second regiment, Michigan National Guard, and were returning from rifle practice at Berlin, riding on a Muskegon inter* urban line combination baggage and passenger coach. The soldiers were sitting in the doorway of the baggage compartment, swinging their feet, when the car ran onto the bridge. De­ lator's feet caught in the iron work of the bridge and he was suddenly jerked from the doorway and thrown beneath the wheels of the car. He was decapi­ tated. Ih falling he clutched at Manni and partially dragged him from the car. Manni had one leg broken and received other injuries that will be fatal . Jh| �y. FIELD. r and Proprietor. Chamberlain's Resignation. K * The inability of Mr. Joseph ChamW berlaln to agree with the premier on a E fiscal policy for tbe empire—or it might '. be bAter to say the inability of Mr. j? Balfour to agree with Mr. Chamberf lais- has resulted in the resignation of h the secretary as well as two of hla colF - leagues, Mr. Ritchie, chancellor of tbe exchequer, and Lord George Hamilton, secretary for India. It la quite likely that this action will disrupt the present ministry or at least weaken It so ma| Serially that it will soon be compelled C to appeal to the country. ’ The resignation of Secretary CbamP *berlain from the Balfour cabinet is not F , to be recarded as the permanent retiremeutof this aggressive statesman. » On the contrary he has severed his R connection with the government in orI derot push his plans more vigorously k than he could consistently do when un­ / der obligation to support a ministry 0 with which be was not in full accord. £ • Mr. Chamberlain is undoubtedly one of ' the ablest and most influential men in V England. It was . his strong, vigorous personality and aggressiveness that al• „ most forced the British empire into tbe Boer war. He Is now pursuing tbe . same tactics in trying to force upon the, L' English people a commercial policy r. which is entirely at variance with tbe notions and practice of England for tbe past hundred years. He wants the 1mperlal government to bind tbe colonies . . more firmly to the mother country by K establisuiug a tariff upon imports that shall discriminate against foreign t. 'countries and favor the products of the » colonies. He belie’es tbat in this way the colonial trade can be mainly turned to England, thereby making the moth­ er country independent of tbe United States and other foreign countries for food supplies. At the same time Eng­ ' lish mandf'Acturers would vastly in­ crease their market in the colonies. E ■: Mr. Balfour, the premier, on the other hand, white professing to be a free-trader, is willing to waive bis free trade principles far enough to establish a retaliatory tariff policy. He favors the plan of imposing duties upon the products of those countries which im­ pose duties upon English products and of favoring those countries which favor England. He does not believe in preferential rates for the colonies. With Mr. Balfour’s views Mr. Cham­ berlain has taken issue and now he pro­ poses to force the country 'into a con­ sideration of his own views and if pos­ sible to convert public opinion to his position. He certainly has undertaken to do a remarkable thing and the out­ come will be watched with intense in­ terest throughout the world. He is a resourceful and able leader, full of E fight and ambition, and it may be ex­ ’ pected tbat his struggle for the adop­ tion of protection will stir English poli­ tics to their depths. Certainly his res­ ignation aa colonial secretary does not mean his withdrawal from political life and political influence. ' Mor^ of Cttoeo K its victorious march.” It is also said that all the inhabitants of Panama are in favor of the treaty. Of course the friendliness of Panama to the treaty does not insure its ratifi­ cation by the Colombian congress, but perhaps it may be taken as indicative of a growing feeling on the part of the people of the country that they cannot afford to stand in the road of tbe whole world’s progress; that tholr opposition is sordid, unreasonable and unwise; and that it will be the part ot wisdom for them to recede from the arbitral policy of obstruction which they have thus far pursued. . It certainly is to be hoped that with a little longer exercise of patience and dignified insistence on the part of our own government tbe Colombian opposi­ tion to the canal treaty will cease and tbe last diplomatic obstacle to tbe con­ struction of tbe canal by the United States thereby disappear forever.

C. McOun J If;'- When Bernard Appleby determined gj to devote his life to evangelical mis p Ctonary work in China he was as full H of sanguine enthusiasm as any young V, fellow in the service. “You are exact ; ly the kind of man we want," they told him at the depot in Shanghai., “and wc shall expect to see you do wonders in K the great cause." V. **It won't be for lack of enthusiasm r if I fail," said Bernard. “I am igno T rant and shall be useless for awhile, I • but I hope to work into it by degrees.” L “You'll have plenty of time to learn I the language down at Fuchow,” said : a member of the board, who, catching the eye of another member, smiled n little. A third member sighed, but st! ,• fled the sigh and pretended he bad [», yawned. ■ Bernard scraped acquaintance at the K mission bouse presently with a young girl and walked through tbe town with her. She was a devotee, like himself, who had been In the service a year and K* knew something of It. He would be dull In Fucbow, she said; but, please . God. he would be a successful mission ;ary; he looked like a man. The youth - and the girl looked steadily in one an other's eyea at parting. t “1 hope we shall meet again,” he said. As for her, she smiled back, but when bo had gone she allowed her eyes to be­ . come dimmed Enthusiasm dies hard in people of Bernard Appleby’s stamp. For a year he worked at his Chinese. He was the only European in the place, excepting for an hour or two in each week when the clumsy, noisy steamer would come i ' ■. thundering up or down the yellow riv­ er bound for Wuchang or Yutse. as it happened to be traveling up or down stream. At the end of two years Bernard could stand his solitary life no longer. He went t o to Shanghai pnd bashfully inquired of the chairman for news of the young lady whom he had seen at the depot on his arrival Tbe chair­ man smiled paternally. “She Is still unmarried,” he said, replying to Apple­ . by’s thoughts. “You are finding it dull . and would marry. Is it so?' Bernard biushiDgly confessed that so “Well," said the chairman, “we like our people to intermarry. Miss Tate L° . at Hankow at this moment. You might . see her on your way back.” . ^ Appleby adopted his advice. He . found Chrissle Tate at the missionary n ■ station aX Hankow, and the two wrn Bk not long in fixing up mutt; W?.h:n ' a month Bernard carried oT a t' Fuchow. K . The following year the arrival of a |& daughter added new happiness. The baby girl, who was called Dulcie, grew K and prospered. She was a pretty, curiy r headed, fascinating little person, a L thing of wonder and amusement to many of the natives of the place, an E? object of adoration and love to one, ' “ Shen Ho, the son of a former “con•: vert” of Appleby's, who bad long since relapsed to the religion of his fathers. “Shen Ho," Appleby would svinetimes say, smiling somewhat plaintive­ ly, "is the only real convert we have ever had, Chrissle, and he is Dulcie’s, J* IWOtOurs.” This was perfectly true. From Dul­ cie alone had proceeded the personal magnetism which had been tbe founda­ tion of Shen Ho’s Christian asplraI tlons. Shen Ho lived in the house as ’servant and was as honest and diligent ^TO/tfnsioess as be was devout in his F*- * Dulcie tallght Shen Ho cricket Shen E rio thought the game a foolish one, but would have played it gladly all day and all night to please his friend. Nothing would Induce him, however, to bowl in such a manner that the ball ? . reached the wicket otherwise than dead slow for fear of hurting Miss I Dulcie. When Appleby was playing and bowled a fast ball at his daughter . Shen Ho would groan aloud and hide hh eyes with his hand. In every way Shen Ho was Dulcie's ■ , devoted slave and servant as well as ‘ playmate. He also acted as her escort and protector and her champion if ocThe people of Fuchow were not too j well disposed toward the English mis•touary and hit wife.

So matters would doubtless have re­ mained till this day but tbat when Dnl<!te wm about nine years old and Shen Ho fourteen or fifteen and a Christian of five years' standing tbe country t*to be convulsed by tbe Boxer rlsL toff in Peking and the troubles that ac­ companied the popular upheaval . against foreign residents throughout k -Avtbs land. Rumors of trouble soon I was but a week after this that a ty of half a dosen Boxers came > the town. They inquired first rooment later poor Huan Li’s head was rolling iu the filth in the gutter. Several of those who saw and heard this were not ill affected toward the Ayplebya. Bernard and his wife had visited the sick and fed tbe hungry. When the Boxer bad turned bis back and was on his way to consult with his companions two or three good souk crept cautiously round by another way to warn the missionary of his danger. Appleby was In a fix. This was Tuesday. There would be.no steamer until Thursday. Even If there were he would not probably be allowed to board it What was to be done? Shen came running In excitedly. “Boxer man coming!" he exclaimed. “KUlee Miss Dulcie, klllee all! Come away quick! Shen show way! Comee, inlssy! No stop, not one minute!” Shen quickly explained that be knew of a path through the woods to Tsotse, a village on tbe river ten miles nearer Hankow. Here be had an uncle, Shen Li, a boatman and fisherman, who would take the party down the river to Hankow. Appleby snatched up food and a bot­ tle of water and a blanket or two, and the party made for the nearest point at which the open country could be reached. “Go quickly,” they cried; "the Boxers run fast!” "These people will give us away,” muttered Bernard as he ran, having Dulcie on bis shoulder and his jvlfe panting at his side. "There ’ll be no secre* ns to tbe way we have taken!” But fortunately the Boxers delayed thc^r attack for nearly half an hour, employing that period doubtless in screwing up their courage or their fe­ rocity to the necessary point. But the ground was soft here and there, and it would not be difficult to follow by tracking. This fact gave Bernard anxlety and lent him wlugs and breath and his wife also. Suddenly came the fatal sounds of pursuit -shouts and occasionally a shot fired by way of intimidation. The pursuers were a mile behind, but probably traveling much faster than the Engllsb party. Then Shen Ho spoke: "Me go back, tell Boxer man you gone rlghtee to Woohen, you go leftee to Tsotse: no waltee for Shen Ho; me find you mission house, Hankow; goodby, master, missis; goodby lovee Missee Dulcie!" Shen Ho suddenly went down upon bls little nose and kissed Dulcie’s tiny foot; then, before he could be questioned or prevented, he dashed backward In the way they had come. In a few minutes he met the pursu­ ers. The Boxer leader, hot with the chase, looked by this time, as did each of his followers, an incarnate fiend of savagery. They ran sweating and swearing, brandishing pitchforks and swords "Have you seen the foreign devils?’ shouted the leader. “Speak quickly or the vultures shall sicken over your carcase tonight' "Come; you shall show us which way they went, and If I find that you have lied”"Come, then," said Shen Ho firmly. “They were running toward Woohen, I tell you, where there are three other foreign devils who will protect them." ; Shen Ho led his men three miles out of their way before the savage brutes made up their minds he had deceived them and thrust their swords through his faithful heart and left him. But the time thus gained sufficed for Appleby to bring his wife and Dulcie in safety to Tsotse and to engage a boat hence down river to Hankow. Appleby has declared many times that if ever he returns to bls mission bouse at Fuchow he will adopt “that little brick Shen Ho" for his smnrtneas on the evening of their escape. He does not know and probably he never will how big a thing tbe lad did for him and his that day. In the average home the hall receives but scant attention so far as decoration Is concerned, tasteful ornamentation ;being reserved for the sitting rooms, while the entrance chamber is, compar­ 1atively speaking, neglected in this re­ igard, says an English Journal. It must honestly be admitted, however, that the 1 'ordinary narrow hall does not pennit ]of very much furniture being pht info !it and is difficult to "make anything ‘of" from a picturesque point of view. Nevertheless I maintain that even the 1most commonplace hall can be beauti­ fied at little expense If only the idea 1and taste are there to give instigation to ’ pretty plans. It would be possible to work a won­ derful revolution In a commonplace ' hall by knocking down one of the side walls and throwing the hall and ad- HALL DECOHATION. -joining room into one. but this plan, <charming though It be in result, is not <one likely to be generally followed for jmany and obvious reasons, wherefore ।let us seek for a more generally prac­ ,tical Idea for converting {be common­ {place into the picturesque. We shall find very substantial help jin achieving our ends from the old (fashioned dresser, stained black oak fand set out with willow blue crockery . and quaint Jars and vases and in the (middle a bowl or flpwerpot of beaten tbrass.

Oak stained shelves for books or old ‘china might, in view of economizing ’space, be fixed to the wall against the dresser on the side near tbe front door, ( and at the farther end of the ball cur­ 1 tains should hang against tbe door—if tthere is one thereabouts. An idea for ai hail on these lines is suggested in tbe 1illustration. Many .a housewife is sorely tried by the unsightly spots on her newly pa­ 1 pered wails, caused by thoughtless per­ I fsons tilting their chairs back and lean­ ing tnelr heads against the walls.

IS ACTING “PURELY IMITATIVE T Ah, that is an entirely different question. It is apt to be in part imitative, strive against it as we may. Yet who can say that it is not better so ? I£«it were not so the stage could not profit by the experiences of the past, and the “art” of the stage jyould remain at a standstill until a new “genius” has been born and receives the baptism of recognition. All actors possessed of the virtue of merit, or the ambition to be thus possessed, SEEK ORIGINALITY IN THEIR IMPER­ SONATIONS; but thus seeking, one must of necessity first know the treatment accorded the theme by others or else mayhap he will be credited with being but an imitator after all, albeit an unconscious one. If he seeks knowledge of the “original” conception of his predecessors or contemporaries, in order that he may avoid them, in whatMtYange predicament does he find himself! For the very' concep­ tion he seeks to avoid may constitute the only true advancement made in a decade and perforce a conception far superior to his own. THE REAL TRUTH IS—DENY IT OR SEEK TO DISGUISE IT AS WE MAY—WE ARE, BY THE VERY FORCE OF CIRCUMSTANCES, THOUGH UNINFLUENCED PERHAPS BY OUR OWN DESIRES, ALL MERE IMI­ TATORS, AND THE PROBABILITIES ARE THAT HE WHO DENIES IT MOST LOUDLY AND MOST PERSISTENTLY IS THE GREATEST JMITATOR OF ALL, OR, IF NOT, PERHAPS IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR HIM AND THE PUBLIC IF HE WOULD IMITATE MORE AND ORIGINATE LESS. FROM OLD WORLD TO NEW IN FORTY-FOUR HOURS By Sir ROBERT BOND, Premier of Newfoundland |HE ACTUAL TIME INVOLVED IN A JOUR^NEY BETWEEN NEW YORK AND LONDON, or rice versa, is best proved by the statement of the time occupied in forwarding the mail, which is sub­ ject to no delay. The United States post office de­ partment issued a statement last year showing the average time which actually elapsed between the mails leaving New York post office and reaching the London post office, as follows: Ship. Lu can la . . Teutonic .. Bismarck . New York Havre . .. . Hours to Line. Mail landed. London. CunardQueenstown . .. . White StnrQueenstown . .. .Hamburg-AmericanSouthampton . . AmericanQueenstown . .. North AmericanSouthampton 184.<i FEW WILL FAIL TO NOTICE, THEN, THAT UNDER THE MOST FAVORABLE CIRCUMSTANCES IT REQUIRES SIX DAYS TWELVE HOURS TO MAKE THE JOURNEY FROM NEW YORK TO LONDON. BY WAY OF NEWFOUNDLAND it could bo made in fivd days four hours, or A SAVING OF THIRTY-TWO HOURS in all over the present actual running time, with only about seventy-two hours of ocean travel—viz, sixty-seven and one-half hours between the British isles and Newfoundland, distance 1,650 miles, and two and one-half hours between Port aux Gasque, in Newfoundland, and. Aspey, in North Sydney, distance sixty-five miles. The dme occupied in making the ocean trip is calculated on the Deutschland’s best rec­ ord, attained last year, of 588 miles in twenty-four hours, or twentyfour and one-half miles an hour. If turbine ships could be put on the service with a mean speed of thirty-six miles an hour the time of coming from the British isles to Newfoundland would be forty-four hours. A London dispatch recently published a sketch that the South­ eastern and London, Chatham and Dover Railway company had ordered for delivery next season zl TWENTY-FIVE KNOT TUR­ BINE STEAMER, 300 by 40 feet, to cover the passage. BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FRANCE IN FORTY-FIVE MINUTES. If successful, it is expected the turbine system will be EXTENDED TO ATLANTIC TRAFFIC. lt is within the bounds of possibility, then, by the application of the turbine system TO BRIDGE THE ATLANTIC VIA NEW­ FOUNDLAND so as to bring the old world and the new WITHIN FORTY-FOUR HOURS, OR LESS THAN TWO DAYS’ jour­ ney, of each other, or, by placing on the route such a steamer as the Deutschland, to reduce the journey to sixty-seven and one-half hours.

J beeu purchased from various parts the country, and two expert femak^^ French operatives have been brought to Washington to teach the operation - g of tbe machines. ’ It is Secretary Wilson’s desire io have \ . j the people of tbe south, and especially i. colored persons, learn the bnsIneM because of the comparative cbeapneea ... of that labor. He says that the depart­ ment is prepared to do everything pos­ sible to encourage the Industry and that silkworm eggs as well as young- . J mulberry trees will be supplied Jo per13 sons desiring to engage in the bmdJ nees. The department at present la buying cocoons whenever offered, and reeling centers win be established as • . fast as possible, ana each of these will . , ‘ be a cocoon market. The slik produced is of a very fine ’•)£ quality. The department Is prepared \ at present to turn out about twelve hanks per day. “We hope soon to have enough'to -g make a flag for the president,” said -1 Secretary Wilson. “The United States Imports $75,000,000 worth of silk annu­ ally, and It benooves us to do all we can to establish the Industry.” With Increasing persistency rumors are coming here from foreign capitate, that several Important chaages in the. personnel of the Washington diplomatle corps are contemplated. . 'With one exception these changes will probably not occur until after tbe New Year’s reception. Senor Garcia Meron, minister from, Argentina, who bus fur a long time expected a transfer to Berlin, will pre­ sent h’s letters of recall to tbe state de­ partment this fall, If the present pro­ gramme is carried out, and his suceesttor may reach Washington by Jan. 1. Senor Meron has been accredited to the Washington government since Oc­ tober, 1901, and has won the title of “dean of South American diplomats.” He weis promised tbe Berlin mission months ago and has been diligently studying German. Reports that Count Cassini, Russian ambassador, was not to return to Washington this fall because of the Klshlneff incident and its trying con­ sequences are not credited by those in the confidence of the St. Petersburg foreign office. However, changes among Russian ambassadors are expected, and in the event of such a change it is re­ po rted that Count Cassini will go to Berlin Commerce between the United States und Its noncontiguous territory amounted to over $100,000,000 In the fiscal year just ended. This Includes about $5,000,000 worth of gold bullion produced In Alaska aud brought into the United States. This is the first op- . portunity which has been offered for an accurate measurement and analysis of tbe commerce between the United States and its noncontiguous territory since the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands and Porto Rico ' Of the $30,722,941 worth of merchan­ dise exported from the "United States to the outlying territories $12,240,225 went to Porto Rico, $10340.472 to tbe Ha­ waiian islands, $4,038,900 .to the Phll1 ppi net and $9,497,721 to Alaska. Of the $58,894,717 worth of imports from tbe noncontiguous territory $11,­ 001.105 came from Porto Rico, $26,­ 242,80) from the Hawaiian Islands, $11,872,584 from the Philippines and $10,228,009 from Alaska. It Is notable, as preparations.for tbe work of congress are neariTTg, how adequately the farmer and hla Inter­ eats are represented. The coming speaker of the bouse is from a country district. Mr. Cannon, in fact, takes pride in his farmer phrases, nut! all his illustrations and personal interests savor of a rural bringing up. The chairmanship which Mr. Cannon resigns—perhaps the most Important itf* the bouse- that of the committee on appropriations, falls to James A. Heinen way. who comes from one of the rural districts in Indiana. , It embraces tbe famous county qf ‘Posey, also Pike. Gibson and Spencer. Hemenway himself comes from the village of Boonville. The house com- . mlttee on foreign affjilrs has long been presided over by Rolsirt R. Hitt of ' • i Mount Morris, III. He is a native of . Ogle county and represents dne of the richest farming districts in tfae Mississlppi valley. It transpires that President Roose­ velt’s recent declaration that nonunion men are not to be discriminated against in the government sen-ice applied not § only to tbe printing office, but to ail the departments. An Investigation is now ' being made to ascertain whether or not the spirit of the order Is being com­ plied with.

ATTEMPTS TO TAKE HIS LIFE George Elliott, residing ten miles south-east of this city and one mile south of Highbank in Baltimore town­ ship, attempted suicide Sunday morn­ ing apout 4:Q0 o’clock by cutting his throat on the right side with a razor. Although he made an ugly wound, he failed to sever the jugular vein or trachea, (windpipe). Dr. F. Sheffield of Dowling was called and with the assistance of six men to hold the man succeeded in sewing up the gash, while Elliott protested, saying that it would do no good as he was determined to end his life. Thecause of the rash act is attri­ buted to jealousy, for which we will not attempt to state whether he had any grounds or not. It is stated that one Herman Moore has been staying at Ellidtt's ever since last winter, while Elliott was working out by the month for John Fancher, some three miles from home, attempting to get money enough to pay the balance on a 40-acre farm which he purchased of Mrs. L. Brooks. Some hard stories were circu­ lated concerning this man Moore and Mrs. Elliott. The forty zcres of land were moetly marsh and timber, and not very valua­ ble. Since the establishment of the Lower Bristol lake drain a drain tax of 8198 has been assessed against the place. The difficult task of getting the money to pay this tax, together with his family troubles, bore down so heavily upon his mind that he decided that death would relieve him of his mental sufferings. Saturday, Mrs. Brooks took the farm back, paying him the 8300 which be had paid on the place. This he put in a Nashville bank. We understand that his wife wanted to take 8200 of it and go north and look around and see what she could do. He, however, wished to pur­ chase the Wm. Murray place. It is stated that all Saturday eight the fam­ ily jar was at its height, and at 4:00 o'clock with razor in baud and in pres­ ence of his wife and Moore ne went up stairs and attempted to end bis life. Word received yesterday noon states that Elliott will live. Enforce the Ordinance. Many complaints have been made to us, and perhaps these complaints have been made to the officers whose duty it is to enforce the law, of violations of the ordinance which permits bicyclists to ride upon the sidewalks under cer­ tain restrictions. The ordinance it­ self, except right in the business por­ tion of the city, permits wheelmen to ride upon the sidewalks when the streets are not in a passable condition, but the rider must dismount in passing a pedestrian. Another portion of the ordinance says that no riding will be permitted on walks after early twi­ light, yet it is altogether common to see four or more cyclists riding upon the walks when it is so dark that it is impossible to distinguish who they are. This last fact has been reported to of­ ficers, but there seems to be no inclina­ tion to enforce the ordinance. One of­ ficer even says: ‘‘Why, the people will blame me if I arrest them,” Of course the people will blame him, but what did he seek the office for? What sense is there in holding an office and not do­ ing anything? The majority of the wheelmen in this city consider the ordinance a * great favor to them, and they regret its flag­ rant violation as much as anyone. There is great danger connected with riding on walks after dark and some­ one will be seriously if not fatally in­ jured sometime. It may be tomorrow. No one can tell. Shall the law be en­ forced? Or will those who now violate the law, commence to obey it? Nearly a Centenarian Dead.

Anyone wishing tents for any ’ kind of an exhibition can rent them ... cheap by ordering of the secretary, S. . E. Clark. The fine two-story floral . hall, with its four wings, is an attraotion to the grounds Judging from the entries being made ip all classes, there will be aeea here as large and varied an exhibit aa has been seen anywhere this year. Geo.

All it will cost to offer your fire bred animals to a great congrega­ tion of buyers is to enter them on exhi­ bition at the Tri-County Fair, and have them at the sale ring side promptly at 10 o’clock, Oct. 9th, all consignments addressed to William Briggs, Sept, of Sale Dept., Lake Odessa.

As you will have : received my letters from 'Frisco long . before this, I shall tell you of our movel . meats since July 1. We left camp at F 8:00 o’clock the morning of tbe 1st and \ went immediately aboard the boat, the transport Sherman, a beautiful boat by ; .’the way.’some 400 feet long. Just be­ fore going aboard, the new guard was formed with myself as commander of the guard. When we marched aboard my guard was nearly as large as one of the troops, there being some thirty-six men. Arriving on board I had the cor­ porals post the men at different places and then found*a place at tbe rail and witched tbe shores of “God’s country” • fade from view. We passed out of tbe Golden Gate at a little after 12 o’clock, taking a course almost due north, into the teeth of a pretty stiff gale, and there r ' was some pretty work done by the two . men ina skiff who took our pilot off the boat. Jt was done prettily in spite of L the waves which were even then tossing spray across our decks some thirty feet above the water line. When we came upon deck after dinner the land had faded from sight and in either direction were heaving foam crested waves. Tbe ship rode them beautifully with a long swinging rise and fall. It seemed al­ most as though the ocean was testing the strength of ibis thing made by man, as it rushed and Surged against the : sides. The night came on cold with a stronger wind. Some how I didn't care for supper, and* with but one or two, possibly two, outof the 400 men in our squadron, exceptions, the others had no more appetite than I. Everybody was sick, and they were so sick that they didn’t care who knew it., All I wanted was to “Please be left alone “ All that night it continued and far into tbe next day. My guard relieved themselves, nobody walked poet. The commanding i officer was sick, the officer of tbe day was sick, tbe sergeant of tbe guard (me) ' was sick, tbe oorporals of tbe guard spin sick, and also were all of tbe prip— votes tne goard- I uP°n deck a* midnight and it was blowing furies, |. great waves would sweep over tbe deck.-, and tbe boat shuddered through , and through when her propellers were • tferu.-t out of the water. But I will pass crer that, it makes me feel bad yet, jMpr5' when I think of those first three days. E After them came weeks of beautiful "^ weather, the sun rose and set in tbe wawhich at times was as smooth as a ? .. pane of glass.

We sighted but three boats up until the 20th, when we en­ tered the harbor of Guam. The 180 degrees of longitude which we crossed Sunday, the 12th, afforded an interesting topic of conversation, as that day we skipped a day, and some of the men are figuring upon it yet. We went to bed upon the 12tb, slept some ten hours, and got up upon Tuesday the 14th. Chet says he was eating an apple when the change look place and he no­ ticed how stale it got ail at once. The troop clerk had to write on their morn­ ing reports, '-Nothing doing," for that day but the troop commanders wouldn’t sign them so they pasted them together. •It was the morning of the 21st by the calendar that we sighted land, nineteen days actually out of sight of land. Just a narrow streak of black, low down up­ on the horizon, when we came upon deck that morning, but it was a welcome sight, within a couple of hours we were close in shore. Guam is but asmall Island, mountain­ ous, and thickly covered with tropical vegetation. We ran almost by the is­ land, the water between us and the shore looking as smooth as this paper, circled back along side a great rocky bluff, and into a small bay; then looking ocean ward one could see a great reef that almost crossed the entire entrance of the bay, all but a narrow channel near the shore, which towered above us covered with cocoanut and banana trees, green bills and rugged mountains in the distance. We were almost im­ mediately surrounded by boats filled with dark-skinned natives, who offered bananas, pineapples, cocoanuts and oranges in enormous quantities for small money. There was an American supply ship in the harbor, the only other boat, by the way, that was there, or had been there for three months, and the crew of our boat were busy all day unloading beef and rations for the ma­ rine* stationed there. It was there we had some more weather, as it rained no less than four times during the day, not a vicious rain, no wind; a dark cloud would leisurely drift over and down would come torrents of water, and then in ten or fifteen minutes all would be olear.and bright and the sun scorching hot. Before dark we were at sea again with Guam out of sight in a great dark oloud which gradually overtook us and we went below with the rain flooding the upper deck. Our quarters below decks were very comfortable, with can­ vas bunks three high swung from Iron uprights. It was the next day that we sighted a huge Bailing vessel lying di­ rectly in our course. As we neared her, she began running signal flags up to her mast head and we slowed down within a quarter of a mile of her. Her hull was rusty, her sails dilapidated and she stood well out of the water. A boat, with a white man at the helm and a Malay ersw, put off from her and came alongside us, our gang-way lowered and the white man came aboard. He re­ mained some fifteen or twenty minutes aod then left, taking with him several parcels, which we soon learned was med­ icine, lemons, etc., also chat the boat was an fcnglish sailor some slxty-five days out of Shanghai, China, with the captain sick aboard with a fever, aldo that she was bound back fer Shanghai, haring given up the trip. The third day after leaving Guam we sighted land again, the island of Samar, upon our port (left) bow, and then Luzon upon our starboard side, when we entered the straits of San Bersardino which lies be­ tween these two islands. It was beauti­ ful scenery here. The straits are very narrow in places and the land is moun­ tainous. Passed one volcano upon Lu­ zon island, a gigantic cone with a great cloud of smoke at its peak. A day and night took us out of the straits but we continued all the next day In sight of land. Passing the islands of Masbale and Ml ndore upon our left, and then wo were tn China see.

Il You bet we were up bright and although it wasn’t bright, it rained rained, could net see much of the city, just some low buildings, trees, etc. The harbor was filled with boats of all de­ scription, and io spite of the rain it was bustle all day loog. In the afternoon we were taken on board a lighter and towed across the harbor to a small steam coasting vessel, the Lagoxpi, on board which were loaded the four troops of cavalry. A poor little boat after being on the Sherman, and'at dark we steam­ ed out to sea once more, In spite of the fact that the Manila papers, (which- by the way, we eagerly bought tltat morn­ ing, as It was the first news we had had for days,^ which said that there was a typhoon due there that night. We found out that they knew, too, for after running out to Creagador we were obliged to turn about and run back to Manila, which we did. but never stop­ ped, just made a circle of the shore and at daylight started out again. My, but didn’t that little boat toss and toss. The deck at all times was at an angle*of 45 degrees, the wind blew hurricanes and thankful we were when at noon we en­ tered Batangas bay, some ninety miles south of Manila, and knew that here we were to land. The bay Is V shaped, the land Is level with a gradual rise to the mountains in the distance, but with Mt. | Taul in the center of the view, towering so high that its top Is perpetually in the clouds. There were no tug boats in the harbor and we were' towed ashore on great flat lighters along a huge rope, by a crowd of nearly naked Filipinos. Ob, but it was fine to get upon solid land once more, as then we could fully real­ ize that we were in a foreign country. All the bouses are of bamboo, raised some ten or twelve feet from the ground as upon stilts. Everybody one sees are dusky, ranging from a patent leather shine through all degrees of mahogany, old ivory, russet, etc., to a meerchaum pipe. And clothing, well that don't seem to bother them much. The women all have one shoulder exposed, and a skirt which is just tucked around the waist, sometimes not too securely, which comes a trifle below the knee. A few sport the use-of a sort of sandal which is hooked upon the big toe, but the major­ ity are barefoot, and stockings have not be^n introduced here yet. The town has some 10,000 inhabitants, all living in the bamboo bouses, with a pig and chickens staked out underneath. The only stone buildings are the church and the convent, in which are quarter­ ed A and B troop of the 12lh cavalry. The church is really an enormous build­ ing with a dome visible for miles. My troop is in barraeks which are in course of construction, upon a plateau over­ looking the town, and a half mile from the center thereof. We do not expect to stay here long but think we will move to the town of Balayan. There are so many queer sights that I will but mention a few, leaving the rest for a fu­ ture letter, such as the bamboo rafts upon the Taul river propelled by a cari­ bou or water buffalo bitched on in front and swimming with his nose out of the water; the laundry along the river banks, where the women pound the clothes with a big stick; the market with its vile smells and jabbering crowds^ the American soldiers captur­ ing monkeys in the trees at night; the grinding of their rice in huge wooden and stone mortars by hand. It is all so strange, even so different than what I saw in Cuba that I can’t do it justice at all. I manage to talk with the natives quite well, but their knowledge'of Spanish is more limited than mine, as they all speak Tagalog which sounds al­ most like Chinese.

A congressional investigation of the poetoffice department is being freely discussed by those members of congress who have already arrived in Washing­ ton. This does not mean that there is doubt as to the thoroughness of Fourth Assistant Postmaster.Genera1 Bristow’s investigation, in so far as it has gone, but that, there is grave dissatisfaction because the president did not author­ ise Bristow to probe that portion of the mall service which is believed to har­ bor the greatest fraud, the railway mail service. One member of con­ gress who is familiar'with postofflce af­ fairs told your correspondent one day recently, that in bls judgment tbs United States was paying, through this service, tribute to the railroads and steamship companies amounting to be­ tween from 830,000,000 and 840,000,000 annually, in the shape of excess tolls for the mails. This amount may be serious­ ly exaggerated and yet leave a fraud of sufficient proportions to warrant the most thorough investigation. The im­ pression prevails that Bristow was not allowed to probe this source of corrup­ tion because of the prominence of the men involved, including numerous railway presidents, proprietors of steamship companies, members of con­ gress and others. To stir up such a scandal almost on the eve of a presi­ dents! election would be regarded as bad politics and it is presumed that ar­ gument has been sufficient to induce the president to curb Bristow’s author­ ity to Investigate every section of the postal service. Be this as it may, there is no doubt but that the demo­ crats in congress will make a vigorous effort to air the facts with the hope of shaming the republicans into turning Bristow loose in a field where the frauds will far outweigh the comparitivelv petty peculations of Beavers, Machen et al. Judge Richardson, representative from Alabama, came to Washington last week and when seen by your corres­ pondent expressed himself freely on the race question, which he predicts will be­ come one of the Issues of the next na­ tional campaign. The judge says that Mr. Roosevelt has precipitated the question by his conduct towards the negro and cites as Instances, the Invita­ tion- of Booker Washington to the while house, the appointment of “Dr.” Crum to be collector of the port of Charleston, after he had been twice re­ pudiated by a republican committee of the senate, and the abolition of the postofflce at Indianola, Miss. Judge Richardson does not agree with Senator Carmack and others who are agitating the repeal of the fourteenth and fif­ teenth amendments to the constitution. He sees no good to be gained by that course, and he asserts that under the constitutions of Alabama, Mississippi and other southern states the question of negro suffrage has been satisfactorily settled, the ignorant negro and the ignorant white having been , alike barred from voting. On the other hand, he does not agree with those who advocate the expulsion of the negro from the south, which, even if it were practicable, he says, would mean the distruction of most of those industries which are now flourishing in the south. “The south needs the negro and there is no place where be can be contented and do so well as in the south,” con­ cludes the judge. “There, if he be­ haves himself, he gets along all right and fulfills his mission, while if he mis­ behaves he gets Into troubli, a condi­ tion which prevails everywhere, north as well as south. But the one essential in^be south, where the negroes form jo large a proportion of the population, is to keep them in subjection to law and order.” . Ten young men who have distin­ guished themselves at American mili­ tary schools are soon to start for the Philippines where they will enter che Philippine constabulary. The Philip­ pine civil government hopes, through its constabulary, to soon obviate the necessity of large military garrisons in the islands. In many respects the con­ stabulary is similar to the mounted po­ lice of Canada which, with a small bpt exceptionally effective force, maintain order throng bout the great North-west Territory. Most of the officers of the constabulary have been drawn from military channels, many of them hav­ ing been volunteer officers who pre­ ferred to remain in the Philippines when the time came for their regiments to be postered out of the service. By selecting the honor men from the American military schools, the Philip­ pine government believes it will still further improve the personnel of the constabulary force and thus also in­ crease Its efficiency and dependability. The rapidly increasing price ofsll- of the republicans, passed a sutetltuve m.Mur. which made H.iwd money legal tender io the Philippines, the senate passed • measure which provided for the Philippine peso and made it and United States money legal tender. The bouse was whipped into line during the closing, hours of the Session and the senate bill became a law. Now, the price of silver has ad­ vanced almost 50 per cent and Is quoted at 61.58 cents an ounce. If is reaches 64 cents the pesos will'be worth more than their face value as bullion and will be promptly melted and sold as such. That would leave th6 only legal tender of the United States, as provided by the minority bill. The executive committee of the American Federation of Labor has met and adjourned without taking action regarding the president's announced open door for non-union labor policy or the William Miller case.

Of course the purpose of • : the court officials was to obtain Sutton’s I testimony concerning certain men who . are under indictment for perjury and jury tampering in connection with tbe ’’trial of Sutton for defrauding the state 5$ in which he was acquitted as a result of P. such tampering. It is stated that Sutton gave to Judge I Wiest important Information that will I help in securing the conviction of men B who are guilty of jury-bribing. No £ doubt it is desirable to bring jury-bribere and perjurers'to justice, but was not the price of such evidence as Sut­ ton could give too dearly bought? Sut,. ton himself appears to have been the I arch criminal in the case. He has con­ fessed himself to have been a defrauder •i and perjurer, but he is given immunity ? from prosecution in return for testi­ . mony which his own character must . render of doubtful value. No one would for a moment impugn the Ingham county court and judicial I officials in taking the course they have with Col. Sutton, but it is none the less to be regretted that this rank offender against the law should be permitted to get off by so easy a method as he has been permitted to follow. The Scandals Should Be Probed. ; It is said there is a disposition on the ; * ’ part of .the friends of the administration to close the investigations into the ' government scandals which have been in progress for several months past and which' have brought to light many ras' calities in the poet office-department, because there is danger of harming the political prospects of the republican party if the facta are all exposed. If this is true it will be the duty of the democrats in congress to use every effort to induce that body to action in f the matter. If the post-office depart‘meat and other of the administrative 2 > bureaus of the government are being ' abused by unscrupulous thieves and Kj grafters the facte ought to be fully exK poked, and the guilty punished. The ■ success of our form of government dee-pends very largely«on the integrity of its office-holders. If dishonest men are t permitted to hold public office and I manipulate public affaire in such a way h SS to steal the public funds under the C-. guise of regular official form, as in the ? case of Machen aod bis fellow grafters, there is no safety for the republic. Such abuses if overlooked will be fol­ lowed by others and we shall soon have S • public service as corrupt and shameI’ less as that which has been the curse L aod downfall of Spain. A high standard of honesty and in­ tegrity must therefore be insisted upon E if we would keep our government pure and efficient. This being so, there can be no plainer duty before the adminlstration than to probe the various de­ i’ partmental scandals to the bottom re­ ' gardless of who may be involved and if is- Mr. 'Roosevelt fails to pursue such a &; policy through f political motives, he £ ••will not be quite the heroic leader he u has been supposed to be. And in case . the administration is disposed to shrink 11 from its whole duty in this respect, it h^ to be hoped that congress can be L; /weed into action through the efforts of r. the democratic minority.

However kindly and well meant were Mr. Whitney’s affectionate demonstrations, be ought not to have permitted himself to over­ step the bounds of the strictest decorum towards his young pupils. By doing so he has destroyed his usefulness as a teacher, and the confidence of the patrone of the school in his discretion and integrity.

The question as to why all foam white is not an easy one to under* stand,__ but ___ the ______ fact is that foam is aF ways white, whatever may be the color of the beverage Itself. The froth pro­ duced on a bottle of the blackest Ink Is white and would be perfectly so were it not tinged to a certain extent by particles of the liquid which the bubbles hold in mechanics! suspension. As to the cause of this whiteness, It is sufficient to say that it is due to the i*rge number of reflecting surfaces formed by the foam, for Jt is these sur­ faces whiclL* by reflecting the light, produce upon Our eyes the impression of white. If we remember that all bodies owe their colors to the rays of light, which they cannot absorb, and all bodies svhlch reflect all the light they receive, without absorbing any, appear perfect­ ly white, we shall be prepared to under­ stand how the multitude of reflecting surfaces formed by the foam, and which do not absorb any light, must necessarily give the froth a white ap­ pearance. It is for the same reason that any very fine powder appears white, even the blackest marble, when ground to dust, losing every trace Of its original color. A Pennsylvania farmer named Hans was subject to some kind of fits which rendered him totally unconscious for hours at a time and on several occa­ sions convinced his good wife that she was a widow. It was pretty generally known that she was by no means averse to the widowed state, for she and the doughty Hans did not live In peace and amity. One day Hans was stricken as usual. The good wife applied the usual reme­ dies, but this time they failed to revive the unconscious man. A doctor was called, and after a thorough examina­ tion he shook his head and said sol­ emnly: “Dot iss zu bed. Hiss Iss todt (dead).” The widow pretended to be overcome with grief, and, leaning over the pros­ trate form of her busbrnd, she walled: “Ob, mein Hans iss todt! Mein Hans Iss todt!" But Hans, reviving suddenly, ex­ claimed: ■ S “Neln, nein! Ich ben nit todt!" “Hans,-’ said his wife reprovingly, “lie still. * Der doctor knows best.” Two Chronic Cranes.

He has demon­ strated the old truth that there is no honor among thieves, and men who are hereafter tempted to do an unlawful act in order to help a friend out of a difficulty, will remember, with profit to themselves, what is likely to befall some of the friends of Col. Sutton. While the confession of Col.

The west and south have commenced to draw upon eastern money centers for funds with which to move tbe grain and cotton crops. This demand is normal and will probably be of about the same volume this fall as usual, although the I west is blessed with a larger aggregate of local capital than ever before. Usual­ ly during tbe autumn months there is an inflow of gold from abroad. Indica­ tions this year are that tbe supply of KId from London and the continent will restricted.

The president under the law has no right to discriminate in favor of union men and against non-union men in the government service. Tbe president could notdo what the Washington book­ binders are demanding without violat­ ing* bls oath of office and making citi­ zens privileged who belong to certain organizations. Government salaries are paid from taxes which all help to pay and to shut out certain citizens from the possibility of holding these positions because they do not belong to a labor union cannot be permitted for a mo­ ment. We do not believe the majority of the union laborers of tbe country will stand for any such proportion either, when they understand it. ^In a fight of this kind against, tbe president, citizens irrespective of party will be with the president. —Ann Anbor Argus.

The grand jury of Washington con­ tinues to find indictments against of­ ficials of the postoffioe department. The latest is against W. Scott Towers, head of one of the city substations. He is accused of taking a commission on typewriter books sold by a private com­ pany to the government. It is said that he received 850 on every 8200 paid far each of these, and that his fees amounted to 81800. He .has been dis­ missed by the postmaster general, and is now. awaiting trial. The republi­ cans are afraid of the political effects of the postofflee scandals and their mem­ bers in congress are now clamoring for a congressional investigation of the en­ tire department. They etale opeply that tbeir purpose is to forestall the democrats and prevent their making a political issue out of these evidences of republican mal-administration. It is said that the president wishes to name the investigating committee, which he hopes will bo authorized by congress. Tbe republicans have adopted the same tactics with reference to tbe Indian scandals, as a committee from both bouse and senate will go to tbs Territory to make an official report of the state of affairs. President Roosevelt’s stand on the question of Foreman Miller of tbe government printing office-and on the “open shop” In government employ­ ment, continue* to receive the atten­ tion of politicians and labor men. In spite of the cautious aad conservative statement of the executive council of th* American Federative of Labor, there are to*' ’ ‘ ‘ at the polls. Thei___ nt ... held . a feronoe la*t Tuesday with the labor leaders and manv subjects were dis­ cussed. On tile Miller question, how­ ever,* there seems to have been but slight discussion as the president simply informed tbe leaders of his de­ cision. In the statement issued im­ mediately following the conference the president declared that Miller should remain and that no discrimination should be made between union and* non-union labor in choosing employes of the government He added that tbe law demanded this and tba» the fact of a man's being a membek- of a union could no more be allowed to tell against him than tbe fact that he was a Cath­ olic or Protestant, Jew or Gentile, white or colored. The executive council of the Federation of Labor made no criticism of the president's statement, but the following day they Issued an address to organized labor of the country in which they stated pos­ itively that the unions would contend for the principle of union shops. The radical men in the American Federation, and they are numerous, bitterly oppose the president’s attitude and intend to bring up the question at tbe coming annual convention of tbe Federation in Boston, on November 8. They declare tha£ if President Roose­ velt is a true friend of labor and ex­ pects the laborers’ vote he must make the same discrimination between union and non-union labor as he daily makes between republicans and democrats. They argue that the labor unions must defend tbeir interests against the government the same as against a pri­ vate employer. The labor unions throughout tbe country continue to pass resolutions condemning the ac­ tion of the administration and they seem determined that the president's statement shall not end the contro­ versy. Our government is about to establish trade relations with Abyssinia. Mr. Robert P. Skinner, our consul general at Marseilles, is now in Washington completing preparations for bls coming visit to King Menelik, whom he will invite to the St. Louis exposition, at the same Lime urging him to make a commercial agreement with the United States. Mr. Skinner has seen the president and received from him a message of profound consideration to tbe African monarch. He will be taken to the nearest port in an Ameri­ can warship and will have an escort of United States marines on bls long journey overland before reaching Monelik'a capital. The press of Europe sees in this expedition au attempt on our part to establish a footing in Afri­ ca, but Mr. Skinner has very peaceful and businesslike intentions. Over one third of all the imports of Abyssinia are from this country and every year we sell Menelik's people over 85,000,000 worth of cotton goods; at the aarne time we get from them, ivory, bides, caroet wools and other raw materials. This expedition is ridiculed by some who suggest that instead of going to Africa we should turn our attention to South America where the Germans are making rapid progress against their American and English competitors. His many friends in Washington and elsewhere deeply regret Lbe death of Sir Michael Herbert, tbe British am­ bassador to the United States. He died last Wednesday in Switzerland, where he bad gone hoping to be cured of tuberculpsis, which was the cause of his death. He was ambassador to this country only a few months but was well known in Washington where he for­ merly served as charge d’affairs and as secretary of tbe legation. His wife is an American and he had many per­ sonal friends in this couotrv, among them President Roosevelt whom be had known for many years. He was very fond of telling how tbe president taught him to play baseball. His most important work here was tbe settling of tbo difficulties involved in the attack of Englund and her allies on Ven.'.uela, and tbe negotiations of the treaty by which the present Alaskan boundary commission was created, Tbe foreign office in London has not yet considered who is to succeed him. President Roosevelt is much annoyed at the continued quarrels of the repub­ licans in Delaware. After a confer­ ence with Senators Allee and Ball, the leaders of tbe opposing factions, he made it plain that if they could not agree on questions concerning tbeir state, he would have to take action which would be disagreeable to both of them. The present matter of dispute is the selection of a United States at­ torney to succeed William Michael Bryne.

Peggy opens her eyes, a little dazed. Of course there are other John Car­ ters. Carter is a rather commonplace name after all. So Is John. The high' heels of Peggy’s patent leathers click on the polished floor of the alcove and Peggy’s blue klmonoed figure appears between the curtains of the arch that divided the room. * "Sleepyhead!” is Catherine's scornful welcome. Peggy smiles and trails languidly jover to a low chair by the flre. She *slte down and shakes a veil of soft, red brown hair over her flushed cheeks. Edith passes ber the box of choco­ lates and the conversation goes on. “I wonder which one of us it is,” sighs Louise. "If the corner of tbe conservatory could speak I think it would whisper ‘Catherine,’ ” says Edith. Tbe color that flames up into Cath­ erine’s cheeks matches the red of her crape gown. But Peggy, looking through ber veil of hair, sees that she likes it—likes to be teased about Jack;. Peggy’s Jack­ well. not exactly hers—yet, but he bus proposed to ber every year since she was in pinafores, and If sbe hasn’t said “Yes”— , "A box for Miss Catherine,” states the soft voiced maid at the door. The box is full of red, glowing roses— American Beauties. Catherine takes the card out of the little white envelope and looks nt the girls complacently. “John Carter," she reads. Oil, little Peggy, little Peggy, it is well that your face is hidden by the silken veil, for the blushes are gone. Edith's lips are set in a rather tense line. “What does bC say?" “Red as a rose Is she.” "Rather hackneyed for a clever man," comments Edith. "There is another box for 1Miss Edith,” says the maid, “and onej for Ml88 Louise." "Not a single valentine for you, ba­ by," says Louise to Peggy. "But the men baveh't found you out yet.” She opens her box, gives one glance at the card and leans over to see Edith'^ Then the two girls laugh. "John Carter!” Across Catherine's smooth forehead there flickers Just the shadow of a frown, but «be rallies. "How impartial. What does he say on yours, girls?" Louise has orchids, Edith violets. Each card contains a maudlin valen­ tine sentiment, but Peggy listens to the conventional lines with prejudiced ears. There Is only one consolation Jack Isn’t a Mormon! He can't marry all three of them. But over Catherine’s face there broods something of dissatisfaction, and Edith gathers up ber violets and slips out of the room without a word. After awhile the other girls follow, and Peggy is left alone. She goes and stands by the window, where, through the gray mist, sbe can see ths blurred lights of the big city. Oh, how homesick sbe is! She wants to see Matomy Chloe and Aunt So­ phia, and moat of all she wants to hear the wind alghlng through the pines. Sbe goes over to her trunk and from its very bottom she drags out a big box, and as the darkness comes on she muses sadly over the bits of lace pa­ per and faded ribbons./ The girls find her thns when they come in later. "Valentines?” says Louise. “Old ones?" She picks up a tiny lace paper affair with two red hearts and a Cupid. There Is an envelope, half hidden un­ der the mass of green. Peggy’s hand shute over it; she has-seen the writing. No prying eyes shall read John Carter’s message to—"bls fourth girl," as sbe calls herself bitterly, r “Read it, Peggy." cries Louise. But Peggy stands up deflant, tbe box in ber aims. “Go and dressf’ she commands. "We shall never get ready." “The country lover.” comments Cath­ erine, ns the girls go to tbeir rooms. But wftn the girls are gone Peggy does not Move for a little while. She stands very still, with a pale little face. Then suddenly she buries her face tn the scented green. At last with trem­ bling fingers, sbe tears open the envel­ ope. But no single line of wornout sentiment confronts her. Within Is a sheet of closely written paper: My Dear Peggy—I am In paradise, with the Eve left out. I am in the woods, but the spirit of the pines Is away, and the old, old tree* sigh and sigh and whisper with me, broken heartedly, "Where is our When Mammy Chloe told me that you had joined Louise Dnlton’s house party tbe light went out of the sun. I want you here, and I had traveled • all these miles that I might come to you on St. Valentino’s day and ask you again—for the thirteenth time, dear-tf you wouldn’t. Mammy Chloe says that you are home­ sick. So. dear heart. I send you a bit of home. To the other girls I have sent flowers and verses that mean nothing, but to ray Peggy I send her own pins. I shall get back to New York with this and send It up to you to let you know that I shall dine at the Daltons' tonight. I found a note from Louise and will tele­ phone her. Come down early, and I will meet you at the foot of the stairway. And. Peggy, oh, Peggy. If you mean to Bay "Yes" thin time wear a bit of the pine, and I will know that my Peggy Is ray own--at last. JACK. An hour later a wonderful little fig­ ure in a pnJe green trailing gown, with a rope of penrte around the young neck and a silken bit of pine among the laces at her breast, comes out of the door and glides-down tbe ball. As she renebet, I»uise's room sbe sees through the open door that the rest of the girls are there, but she passes by unheeding. Down the long corridor to the stair­ way. Tbe girls follow ber, and look over the railing as she turns the curve below them. "She Is really beautiful." says Cath­ erine. as tbe light falls on the upturned radiant fare. "Poor Virginia lover," laughs Edith; “if Peggy looks like that all the even­ ing, he will have rivals." Just then a man comes across the broad hall and advances to meet Peg­ gy He Is tall, strong and handsome. “John Carter," breathes Catherine, and starts to descend. Hut Ed 1th holds her back. "Look.” she says. They meet half way up tbe stairway —litt»e Peggy and John Carter. He takes her hand In his. Then there Is a breathless moment and the watchers slip away discreetly. “Jack!" they say, with a light break­ ing In upon them. And then they know—beautiful Cath­ erine, and stately Edith, and gracious Louis*-—that It is little Peggy, after all —little Peggy of the Pines. A tortoise, plodding along, wqh approacbed by a pigeon hawk, which dropped from tbe ether like a bullet and perched upon its shell. “Come; let's race,” be said banterIngly. “On one condition," replied the tor­ toise. “Name it."

The tor­ toise knew that If he gained the victory It must be by great diligence; he must never pause or turn aside; he must strike a bee line and not permit himself to be distracted.

The people of this place turned out in large numbers with exhibits and attend­ ed the fair. All were well pleased with the exhibits and tbe fairness of the awards given; but we heard many ex­ press their opinion against tbe way the officers are elected, saying that one votes almost at random. Another thing that displeased a good many farmers was tbe lateness of the hour in which many events were held. A football game scheduled for one o’clock was held at two aod nearly every other event was correspondingly late. If the peo­ ple living five or six miles away from town wait to see the races, “life slides” and other events through, they get home so late that they do not feel like trying another day.

It is believed that tbe members of tbe president’s cabinet will advocate some such meas­ ure during the next session of congress, as tbe present secret service men are detailed by tbe treasury department without specific authority and are re­ garded as a kind of makeshift. It is pointed out that the insufficiency of tbe president’s guard has been demonstrat­ ed by the fact that the latest armed lunatic arrested had on the previous day shaken bauds with Presidept Roosevelt as the latter came out of church. It has also been discovered that tbe publicity given any such In­ cident at tbe white bouse always brings other crazy men in search of the presi­ dent, and Secretary Losb has now issued orders that henceforth all such incidents are to be withheld ftom tbe public. Last week.marked tbe end of tbe postal Investigations by the Washing­ ton grand jury. Just before adjourn­ ing It brought thirteen new indictments against ten men who stand accused ot defrauding the government. Tbe most remarkable of tbe new indict­ ments was that of James N. Tyner who was until recently assistant atttorney general for tbe postofflce and during Grant’s administration postmaster gen­ eral. This makes in all thirty persons who must stand trial for defrauding the government through tbe postofflce de­ partment. Among them is a former postmester general, an ex-congressman and a state senator from New York, a mayor of Pennsylvania, and six promi­ nent postal officials. Machen has four­ teen indictments and Beavers six: many of the others have several. Fourth Assistaut Bristow is finishing his report and intends to present It on Oct. 20. It is now reported that Rep­ resentative Overstreet of Indiana will be named chairman of the house com­ mittee of post offices and post roads; and this seems to indicate that the re­ publicans expect that politics will play an important part in this committee during tbe coming session and that it will require some one well versed in party politics to control the proposed congressional investigation of tbe post­ office department. Mr. Overstreet is secretary of the national republican congressional committee and is regard­ ed as a skillful politician and party manager. The republicans do not at­ tempt to conceal tbe ’act that they ex­ pect the democrats to make political capital out of the postal scandals. There has been no great outcry from the people since the announcement was made a few days ago that tbe state tax levy in Michigan this year will amount to 44,003,067—by far tbe largest tax levy in the history of the state. '. - This tax levy Is needlessly and ex­ travagantly large. • . . A good deal or this money is filched, in one way or another, from the state. And yet people submit to the extrav­ agance and injustice as a matter of course. The average citizen requires waking up. In the words of Jacob Riis, be needs tbe grace to get mad and stay mad. Indignation at being robbed by dis­ honest officials Is righteous indignation. When Moses became Indignant, he smashed the tablets from Sinai. The people of Michigan should arouse enough indignation to cause them to smash the republican party.—Lansing Journal. Do Not Want It Used For Bullying Purposes. There Is no question but that the people of this nation desire that our citizens be protected everywhere in all their proper rights, but thev do not be­ lieve our big navy should be used for any but legitimate purposes. To say the least, the sending of Admiral Cot­ ton’s squadron to Beirut was overbasty and it never would bavo been sent had a second thought been taken, for it was promptly discovered on second reading of tbe dispatch that some one had blundered in the translation. A navy is unquestionably believed in by pretty nearly all of our people, but they do not want it used for bullying pur­ poses or to manufacture trouble -Add Arbor Argus. Let No Guilty Man Escape. The United States grand jury In Washington, where national corruption is focused, has just brought in thirteen more indictments of persons charged with having been connected with frauds in the postal department. There are now about thirty accused persons await­ ing trial in this matter. • It is stated that the work of the grand jury in this regard is finished. It can­ not be denied that it has done well in bringing so large a grist to the mill of justice—fruits of Hannalsm in tbe gov. eminent—where, we trust, it will be dulv ground between the upper and nether millstones. It is hoped that justice will be meted out In the cases where indictments have already been found, and that no white­ washing will prevail, no favoritism or high political or personal connection permit any guilty officials to escape the fenalties which their actions may merit. f we cannot have honest government through the Integrity of officials, let us get it, so far as possible, through fear of the penitentiary. “Let no guilty'man escape.”—JackThirty son Patriot.

At tbe session yesterday afternoon two petitions were presented to tbs board, each signed by forty-eight resi­ dents of Freeport, one in favor and the other opposed to tbe proposed extention of the village of Freeport. A committee representing the expansion element aj> peered and argued tneircase before the supervisors but in tbe absence of any representation on the other side the board thought that no hasty action should be taken and laid the matter on the table until the January session. It is proposed to enlarge tbe limits of Free­ port so as take in a mile square, instead of a half mile square its present limits. Today the supervisors make their an­ nual inspection of the county farm and are guests of Overseer Lichtyat dinner Garn-Trego.

Tbe parlor was trimmed with Cobaea and smilax and the sitting room In autumn leaves while the dining room was decorated with American Beauties and siailax.

Three children survive her, two tons, Afton and Frank, and one daughter, Mrs. Aaron Shultz. There is an incalculable influence for good in surrounding the children withi the ennobling be nnobllng pictures that are to he in the great art galleries of th® art loan to bn held *t the i areefc l» for ibis wort hy ‘ >r pn»‘r«is of tb« eihito; at iov.iiuc picuirw for o«r opening grow Into the splendid farm of 320 acres; they had seen the old buildsubstantial frame buildings, and they had seem the little burg of Hickory Corners grow from a single log house to a flourishing little inland town. The first place owned by them in this vicinity was the house and lot just north of their present home, now owned by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Blivin. Here Mr. and Mrs. Pennock lived for three years. Mr. Pennock became very much discontented hero owing to the complete change In his mode of life. He had always been accustomed to hard work upon the farm and he could not reconcile himself to the change. So after living here fbr three years he dis­ posed of this property ana purchased the farm in south Hastings, now occu­ pied by W. L. Pennock. Here they lived but one year when Mr. Pennock purchased the place upon which they now live and immadiatcly removed to it. Here they have lived for the past twenty-seven years. No children of their own have come to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Pennock, but they have given a home to other children who are gathered around the home circle today paying their tribute of love to the dear old foster father and mother, who so kindly took them in and cared for them in days gone by. Mrs. Maria Tolles, deceased, Mrs. Ella Rolfe, of Michigan City, Mrs. Etta Barnaby, of this city, and W. L. Pen­ nock, of South Hastings, make up the list of those who have been brought from childhood to manhood and woman­ hood under the care of Mr. and Mrs. Pennock. To write the history of the religious life of Mr. and Mrs. Pennock would reSuire a careful review of practically jelr whole career.s In 1856 they be­ came members of the Wesleyan Metho­ dist church of Barry township and have ever been identified with this denomi­ nation, except for a space of three years, during which they were mem­ bers of the Methodist Episcopal church of Hastings city. The church of their choice has always had their most hearty support and their most loyal service’. Although both are in their eightieth year, yet each returning Sabbath morn­ ing finds them at their place of worship four miles distant, and until within a year or two they have attended a sec­ ond service at the school house in the afternoon where Mrs. Pennock has served long and faithfully in the ca­ pacity of superintendent of the Sunday school. Rev. I. ► Martin, a former pas­ tor of the church, speaking upon the occasion of the golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Pennock, most beautifully de­ scribed their religious life and works in these words: “They have ever been true defend­ ers of the gospel of Christ, and liberal supporters of the church. The weary herald of the cross has always found at their home an open door. In short their home has been tbe Christian’s 1Wayside Inn.’ Both Mr. and Mrs. Pennock attend the annual confer­ ences of their church and take an active part in the deliberations. Thus in a broader sense has tbe light of their re­ ligious life gone abroad throughout tbe state to brighten, and to bless.” The lights and shadows of eighty years cannot be pictured in lifeless words, nor can the record of such lives be made complete in a few short para­ graphs. But enough has been said po give some idea of the adverse con­ ditions under which Mr. and Mrs. Pen­ nock started out in life and of -the steady-progress they have made in both spiritual and material things up to this joyous sixtieth anniversary of their marriage. Early they learned that the measure of a life is the measure of ser­ vice it renders, and today they sit band in hand in life’s sunset and enjoy the fruits of their labors. From neighbors and acquaintances they receive re­ spect ahd esteem for the sterling worth of their lives, and for the strict integ­ rity that has marked all of their deal­ ings. From their co-laborers in the church they receive that fraternal love and confidence that always comes to those who “point to Heaven and lead the way.” From their family circle they receive the filial devotion that comes from grateful hearts that forget not the words and deeds of sympathy and love which oome without let or hinderance during these sixty years of service. May they be spared yet many years to enjoy the comforts they have provid­ ed and (o cheer and bless us all by their uplifting influence. After prayer by Elder Bradley and singing “Sweet Bye and Bye,” the formal part of the day’s program was over. It was now suggested that as this had been such a success, the Pennock fanfily meet together every year. The sug­ gestion was enthusiastically adopted. While no organization was effected, it is proposed to do so in the near future. Shortly after the guests departed wish­ ing Mr. and Mrs. Pennock health and happiness to live and enjoy many more anniversaries. The guests from out of town were: Bailey Pennock, of Harbor Springs; Mr. and Mrs. L. Bedford, of Detroit; Mrs. Ella Rolfe, of Michigan City; Mrs. Kate Williams, Mrs. Frank Norwood, Mr, and Mrs. Ames of Delton; Mr. and Mrs. Edward Pennock and son of Hickory Corners; Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt and daughter, Chloe, Mrs. Beers and daughter Floy and son Rice of Rich­ land; Mrs. Chandler of East Cooper: Mr. and Mrs. Myron Pennock of Nash­ ville.

These gems of proverbial wisdom are strikingly like those of the wise He­ brew monarch, although it must be admltted they received additional luster from bls hand. These are samples of the Egyptian maxims, as translated in the Literary Digest: “Be not proud of your wisdom, but speak to tbe ignorant man as you do to the learned.” "If you must deal with an antagonist while he is In anger and he is more powerful than yon. then bend your neck to him." What is this but the philosophy which warns against the “man wise in his own conceit” and advises the "soft HDiwer that turneth away wrath?" i ; ; I i ; j nomeseekers Tickets West and Northwest Low round-trip rates to points in Wisconsin, Northern Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Wyoming.

The barge was driven ashore near Virginia beach in a gale of seven­ ty-two miles an hour. Capt. George E. Evans of the Georgia and another Bailor were drowned.

Placing both men under the lee of a .cliff, he started back to the station to' give the alarm. when he saw the third sailor in the waves, and for a third time plunged in and brought an unconscious man ashore. Capps did not cease his work until all three men had been carried to the station, and at midnight he resumed bls regular trick at patrolling the storm-swept coast. Passenger* n Panic.

Among the first-class passengers the fear of death in the storm was as great as among those below. Life preservers were worn constantly by nearly everyone, and some women became hysterical and- collapsed. Few on board expect­ ed the Hamilton would survive the blow. Illinois Mine Strike Likely.

Our citizens are to be favored this season, thanks to the Hastings Women’s Club, with a remarkably good course of high class entertain­ ments. The enterprise aud public spirit which the ladies of the club have shown in engaging talent of such high order deserve to be rewarded by a liberal patronage as no doubt they will. Tbe course is to be opened on the 18th of November by Russell H. Con­ well, tbe finest platform speaker in the country. As every body knows, Mr. Conwell is a brilliant preacher and or­ ator, who ranks with such lights of tbe platform as Gough, Beecher and Wen­ dell Phillips. He is pastor of tbe largest Baptist church in the United States, the Temple church io Philadel­ phia, with a capacity of 4200 and when he preaches admission has to be ob­ tained by tickets and thousands are often turned away. Altogether Rev. Russell H. Conwell is a remarkable man and our citizens are to be con­ gratulated on having a chance to hear him again. On the 25th of November the second dumber on the. lecture course will be given by another reverend gentleman, the Rev. George L. McNutt, who is not only a preacher but a working man, who resigned bls charge as pastor of an Indianapolis church to become a tailor, a ditch-digger, a glass-worker among the factory people of tbe Indi ana gas belt region. His lecture will be on “The Dinner Pall Man” for whom he pleads with earnest eloquence born of personal experience. On the 18th of December a new type of entertainment will be given—a picture play, by Albert Armstrong. A picture play is described by tbe lec­ ture bureau as “a play as presented on tbe stage of tbe theatre, except that the various scenes and characters of tbe story are represented by pictures thrown on .the screen, while all tbe words are spoken by one person.” Mr. Armstrong’s subject here will be the “Sky Pilot,”. Ralph Connor’s splendid story of life in Northwestern Canada. This entertainment promises to be both novel and pleasing. Lovers of good music will be given a treat In the next number which comes Jan. 30. This will be a concert by tbe Sherwood Mixed Quartette, consisting of Maude Gaadreaux, soprano, Zoa Pearle Pardc contralto, Frank S. Han­ nah, tenor, abd Brook Croxton, bass. This quartet was organized by Mr. Wm. H. Sherwood, the greatest pianist in America, and we understand that Mr. Sherwood himself will be with this company when they appear In this city.

Dear Sir: A good many people will see your house in the course of the next ten year*. We want it to show what Devoe Rqady Paint will do. We should like you to paint it, and then not painq it again for ten years—unless it needs repainting. We’d like such a sample as that <n every town in the country—with a notice about it in the town paper: “Mr. Hall’s house was painted ten years ago with Devoe Ready Paint and has never been repainted. The color is not so bright as it was; but tbe paint is as perfect as ever, to keep out water.” A good lead and oil job is expected to last three years; it is a good one that lasts three years; It generally does not. Devoe Ready Paint lasts tn ice as long. If not—: “If you have any fault to find’ with this paint, either now in putting it on, or hereafter in the wear, tell your dealer about it.” “We authorize him to do what is right at our expense. ” We want your house as a sample, aud you as a witness. Yours truly, F. W. Devoe & Co. P. S. Our agent in your city is Fred L. Heath. WERE MARRIED IN CHICAGO. Mr. Vemle Young and Miss Hattie Bramble Married Thursday. Mr. Vernie Young, junior partner of the Hotel Elkerton, and Miss Hettie Bramble, of Dowagiac, were married at tbe Oakland Methodist church, Chicago by the Rev. J. H. McDonald on Thursday. Mr. Young has made many friends since coming to Hotel Elkerton and Miss Bramble has lived for several years with Mr. and Mrs. V. A. Young and since coming to Do­ wagiac has made many friends. Mr. and Mrs. Young were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Scott, 193 Oakwood Blvd., while in Chicago. Mr. and Mrs. Young were old schoolmates of Mrs. Scott and their wedding occurred on the 9th anniversary of Mrs. Scott’s marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Young will be at home at Hotel Elkerton.—Do­ wagiac Dally News. Meeting of Women’s Club. . r’ MR. AND MRS. GEO. SHEFFIELD. The golden wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Sheffield was observed by many friends at their home in Johnstown, Saturday, Oct. 10, 1903. The surprise was very cleverly ar­ ranged by their children, who only had been invited by the “bride and groom.” Although the week bad been rainy, that day was a glorious one, and friends began gathering about eleven o'clock a. m. A fine dinner, was served to forty guests from 12:00 to 2:00 o’clock by their sons’ wives, Mesdames Fanny, Myra, Emma and Vidda Sheffield. The tables were gorgeously decorated with yellow dahlias and asparagus fern. One of the good things to be spoken of •in the bill of fare were strawberries, picked that morning from the vines by Mrs. Ella Bird of Bedford. After dinner a fine program was given consisting of old time songs, etc. Their little grandson, eight years.old, officiated at the organ. A paper was read by Mrs. Dr. Shef­ field in which she traced the life of father and mother, during the fifty years of married life. Mrs. Geo. Sheffield, Jr., sang a solo, “The Wedding Ring.” Caleb Moore, of Hastings, gave a very touching speech, in which he spoke of the pleasures and hardships of pioneer life and to close, he very happily presented the gifts. Pleasing, old time stories were told by the gray-haired, early settlers. While they were interesting to uu younger people, the thought came to us of the privations, labor and hard­ ships of the pioneers while they were clearing up the now beautiful country, and that we are now reaping the bene­ fits of their labor. After a few othe- remarks all joined in singing “God Be With You Till We Meet Again.” George Sheffield w*s born in Cayuga county, New York, in 1828; was one of nine children, and is now the only sur­ vivor. He came to this state -in 1853 and settled .in Baltimore near Dowling. Sarah Blanchard was born in 1829 in Canada. From there she with her par­ ents moved to New York. After re­ maining there a few years she came to tbis'ktate and settled in Baltimore township. Here she was engaged to teach the first school in Baltimore township in the year of 1853. “Cupid’s arrow” pierced her heart and she met her fate in tbe marriage with Geo. Sheffield. The ceremony was per­ formed by Justice Striker, in their own home. Here three children were born: Charlie, who died of dyphtheria when but five years old; Frank and Will. They lived on this place nine years, when they moved to Johnstown on the farm where they now reside. r'Tbcre two children were born, John and George. The four boys, their /Ives and three grandsons were present at the anniversary and presented their parent* with a beautiful couch. There were many other gifts, although all understood it to be “no presente.” No gifts of “gold” were brought but that which Is mare appreciated and accept­ able—the high esteem from so many loving heart*. While the guests were at the table Perry Nyklns of Battle Creek took a snap shot of the company, and in the parlor another picture of the family. Mr. Sheffield then said: “Fifty years ago today I burned a brush-heap and I have one to burn today—all come and Tbe second meeting of the Women’s Club last Friday was, like the preced­ ing one, very interesting. In the ab­ sence of the secretary Miss Anna John­ son filled tbe office. Reasons “Why 1 joined tbe club” were given as re­ sponses to roll call and elicited tbe facts almost without exception that it was for mutual improvement. After the business of the afternoon was transacted and a short recess tbe literary program was opened with a most interesting paper by Mrs. E. M. B. Sweezey. The topic “The Prevail­ ing Conditions Preceding tbe Civil War and Acts Leading Up to It,” was treated in a very methodical way, from the long agitation of the slavery queslion which commenced as early as 1808 to the admission of California. The writer of the paper showed much originality of thought in transferring this history of more than a half century into tbe compass of a club paper. Mrs. Margaret Bailey’s paper, “Tbe Family Pocket-book—What Share in It Has the Wife, and How Shall She Best Obtain Her Share?” was as excellent as her topic was long. The whole sub­ ject was viewed carefully, critically, conservatively, and was iisteued to very attentively. This many-aided queetioD provoked a spirited discission by a dozen or more members of tbe club, and tbe time for closing came too soon for the half to be spoken. The next meeting of the club will be on Friday, Oct. 30. - .. in Ran a Ten Penny Nall Through His Hand. And while we hear their hilarity out While opening a box, J. C. Mount of Three Mile Bay, N.

President Roosevelt, General David B. Henderson, General Daniel E. Bickels, General Charles H. Grosvenor and Gen­ eral Thoma* J. Henderson made ad­ dresses. The president appealed for the upbuilding of the army aud navy, condemned dishonesty in public service and said that he hoped to see soon a' proper statue of Lincoln at the natipnal capital. He praised many of the lead­ ers in the civil war and it was noticed that he did not forget McClellan. He ■aid, “As a nation we are greater not only for the valor and devotion to duty displayed by tbe men in blue, who won tbe great struggle for the Union, but also for the valor and loyalty toward what they regarded as right, of the men In gray; for this war, thrice fortunate above all recent wars in its outcome, left to us all the right of brotherhood alike with the valiant victor and the valiant vanquished,” The two American flags which draped tbe statue were drawn aside by Wil­ liam Tecumseh Sherman Thorndyku, the nine year old grandson of the dead chieftain, tbe artillery fired the salute of seventeen guns, the Marine band struck up the Star Spangled Banner and the civil war veterans who sur­ rounded the statue gave a long and hearty cheer. Many members of the diplomatic corps evoked adverse com­ ment by leaving in the middle of the speecbmaking without waiting for the president to depart. Tbe statue stands south of, and facing, tbe treasury build­ ing at tbe head of Pennsylvania Ave­ nue. According to the reports of the agents of the department of justice thousand* of Illegal naturalization papers are be­ ing granted to aliens all over the coun­ try in violation of the provisions of the immigration law which was passed at the last session of congress. The state courts are especially lax in naturaliza­ tion cases and an instance is cited where a Chicago judge admitted 1,800 foreign­ ers to full citizenship in one evening. This would have been physically im­ possible if be bad administered the oath separately in each case as be is pre­ sumed to do by the law. The provision of the law which states that, persons with anarchistic belief, inclinations or tendencies shall not be citizens of the United States has been frequently ig” nored. It is said that President Roose­ velt will recommend to congress the passage of an act which MH give the federal courts jurisdiction in all natural­ ization cases and which will create a special commission to examine and re­ port to tbe judge upon all applications for citizenship papers. Agent*of tbe general staff of the army are to be sent as military attaches to the different South American countries to study military conditions there in view of a possible conflict of the United State* io that part of the world. For this purpose several army officers are now under instruction in the division of military ioformatfou and will start for South American capitals before the end of the month. The constant friction between Latin-American and European government*, of which the late trouble in Venezuela was an instance, has made It possible that this country should be­ come involved in a war to preserve tbe Monroe Doctrine. Furthermore it is known that the European governments have bad military agents in South America for a long time, gathering in­ formation which would be of great value in ca«e of war. It is said at tbe depart­ ment that one nation in particular has been especially active in this respect, and although the name of the country is withheld, it is an open secret that it is Germany. Before long the general staff hopes to have a thorough knowl­ edge of military conditions not only in South and Central America, but in Can­ ada and Mexico a* well. This doe* not indicate that the officers apprehend any trouble in any of the countries named, but It is in pursuance of their policy to be prepared for any emergency.

The road was in a very good con­ dition as ft is made of coral and shells from the beach at Batangas, and as we had quite a heavy rain the night before we were not bothered with dust. The scenery along the road is beyond my description. There are thousands of bananas, oranges and many other kinds of topical fruits growing wild on either side of tbe road. Here and there one sees a small bamboo hut built some six or eight feet above the ground. Some of these huts seem to be very small for tbe comfort of the Inmates who range Ln number from two to fourteen and six­ teen. Generally the side facing the road, and very near to it, has a small bench attached to the window on which are arranged in a very artistic manner a choice selection of cigars, cigarettes, matches and all kinds of fruits. There are a few large stone houses which were formally the homes of some Spanish families. We camo down the main street of the town San Josa, and saw tbe quarters of the Maccabee scouts. Most of tbe houses are made of mud and stone, called “dobey.” There is a very large stone church in San Joea with about eight different toned bells hang­ ing in the belfry tower. We crossed many old stone bridges which seemed to have seen better days as most of them were nearly bidden by tbe luxuriant growth of moss which is very plentiful in this country. We reached this place about noon and after feeding and taking care of our hones we were taken co troop I of the 13th Cav. quarters for our dinner. After we had eaten our fill we were shown to the quarters we were to occupy. Thev are in a very large stone house on the main street and very near the center of the town. We will have a very good place to keep our horses just back of the quarters so you see it will be very con­ venient for us. The troop of the 13tb Cav. men are expecting to move to Ma­ nila in a few days. We have been busy cleaning up the yard and quarters since we arrived here but It will soon be in a very good condition. Frank and I are both well and doing finely. We are expecting some mail from home tomorrow and therefore are In good spirits. One of the 13th Cav. men came over to our quarters this evening and be says this is the best town In the island to soldier. He says he is going to ask for a transfer to our troop so that he will not have to leave this place. Well I guess I will have to bring this to a close for this time hoping it will fl nd* you all well and happy. I remain Your loving son and brother, Chester G. Engelhardt.

Oliver Wendell Holmes once entered the private office of Mr. James T. Fields, the publisher, on an errand. He had a book done up in paper under his arm. As be was going out he suddenly turned and said: “I have here a most wonderful book. It is worth In money value any other book in Boston. In fact, it is worth a whole library. If it could be properly edited and illustrated, as I would do it, it would be worth the whole public library put together." Nodding authoritatively, he shut the door, leaving those In the office looking at one another, too bewildered for con­ jecture. Presently the door opened again quietly, and Dr. Holmes put in his head, his face bubbling over with amusement, and said: "Oh, I forgot to tell you what book this is. It is Nat Thayer’s checkbook." Then he shut tbe door. Mr. Thayer was understood at that time to be tbe richest man in Boston. There are but few ambidexters either In the matter of hands, feet or eyes. It may sound rather queer, but it is a fact nevertheless, that ninety-five out of ev­ ery hundred human beings are right handed, left legged and left eyed. Felix Hement remarked that it is an established fact that we all use one eye more than we do the other, which es­ tablishes as clear a case of "left and right eyedness" as though the same terms were used to denote a preference in the use of hands and feet. If you want to decide as to whether your friends or relatives are right or left eyed give them a small telescope or spyglass to look through or have them take aim with a gun. We all take great interest in ascertaining the color, size, shape and visual powers of our children's eyes, but how many of us slop to consider whether they are right or left eyed?

J. Stevens at 8t Louis. Ths following is from the report: Your committee ire pleased to say that one of the 'diief difficulties they experience in making this report is tbe abundance of material at hand from which to make selection. The forward strides that are being made in attempts to improve tbe sanitation of rural, vil­ lage and urban communities and to beautify them are so great and so nu­ merous that it is impossible to keep trace with tbe movement ? A few yean ago a few dozen at most were all tbe cities and towns that were making systematic, thoughtful, far reaching efforts to realize one ol the great objects for which the American Park and Outdoor Art association is striving—to bring as much as possible of the best of rural life and beauty Into the city. At the present time that community is a back number which does not jealously guard any infringe­ ments Upon Its park areas, which does not try to Increase the number and im­ prove the excellence of its parks. Many are the communities where systematic work Is being done to persuade tbe people that their greatest good and en­ joyment will be secured when every householder, tenant or owner does his best to make and keep bls own prem­ ises clean and beautiful. Your committee were fortunate In having a representative of a small city, a representative of a city of medium size and a representative of a metropo­ lis. They have deemed best to give the methods for local Improvement adopted in these three communities, pointing out what they regard as worthy of adoption in other communities similarly situated. '■ North Billerica, Mass., is a town of large area, with a population of about 3,000. There are really two villages. North Billerica, which Is a manufactur­ ing town, and Billerica Center, which is a residence town. Mr. Warren H. Manning, whose Influence for beautiful surroundings may be seen in many cit­ ies and homes east and west. Interested the citizens in the matter of Improving local conditions. Public meetings were held in each of the villages, and ad­ dresses were made by men well inform­ ed as to the needs of town and city. An organization was formed. The home and school ground committee was one of the most active and did a work that has been appreciated by pu­ pils of the schools and by the public. At a town meeting appropriations were made for relocating the highways, for reservations, snd an increased amount was allowed for the tree warden. The end in view Is the Improvement of the roadsides and the securing of addition­ al reservations. The association will be Incorporated SO as to acquire title to reservations. At present the membership fee is vol­ untary, but many think this will be changed so that there shall be two membership fees, a small one for chib dren and a large one for adults. One large manufacturing company Is­ sued a circular offering prizes for im­ provements around tbe premises of its tenants and is doing a large amount of planting of shrubs and trees in the vil­ lage. It has Issued a catalogue for the use of tbe people in connection with these plantings. The chief features of the work at North Billerica that are worthy of imi­ tation are: First.—Securing the services of an ex­ pert. Specialists who have devoted years of study and observation to tbe matter of exterior adornment of home, highway and park and to comprehen­ sive .plans for city buildings must be employed If the community hopes to have a beautiful entity; The results of such specialists’ work happily will ap­ pear at our national capital as it is re­ built according to tbe splendid plans of tbe senate commission. Second.—The efforts to improve the highways and to increase the park areas may well be made in every com­ munity. * Third.—The active Interest taken by local corporations and enlisting the aid of the children are means of bringing about desirable ends in every commu­ nity. . ‘ . As a sample of local Improvement methods in cities of medium size we cannot do better than to refer to the capital of the Keystone State. Tbe "Harrisburg plan" is too well known to tbe members of this association through the proceedings of last year to make it necessary for your Committee more than to allude to it Liberal sums of money were spent in securing tbe services of experts, who made comprehensive plans for a re­ juvenated and greatly beautified city. The carrying out of these plans will be » matter of civic pride. Increasing as fbe years go by, and tbe community our former alum superfluous. proof. In n soft form a to reorganise on the two lines of great- metallic ring. Betides lx-ln< meeting held in December, 1902, Jan­ uary and February, 1903, it was voted: First—To continue tbe playgrounds and to enlarge their equipment Second.-To repeat tbe prize planting of 1902. Third,—To reorganize In two main committees, playgrounds and planting. For five yean this department main­ tained summer playgrounds and all measures tending toward improvement of home and school grounds. This work has been accelerated bf the sys­ tematic offering of prizes for Improving yards that heretofore had no attempt* at adornment for raising flowers at the homes and some special prizes to tbe boys for vegetable gardens at their homes- The pamphlet issued giving tbe explanations regarding tbe prizes also contains excellent specific direc* tlons for doing the work. FOR CLEAN STREETS. Towns and villages that have trouble in keeping their streets clean may be interested In what is being done in this direction at present in New Orleans. That city has an association called the Progressive union that has done much good work in town improvement In the past few years, and the organization will now undertake a general plan of education to obtain a cleaner city. At a meeting held recently to devise means for making the city cleaner the following recommendations were made by the executive committee of the un­ ion: * ‘ First—That the union provide about 500 metal boxes to be placed in the business sections for the reception of paper and other trash, the boxes to be bolted to the walks. Tbe contents would be removed by the department of public works through the bottom or side. • Second.—Tbe extension of the park and street commission system, by means of which the streets could be made more beautiful. Third.—Greater publicity to ordi­ nances looking to the keeping clean of the streets. Fourth.—That tbe mayor proclaim a date after which all ordinances for the keeping clean of the city shall be rigid­ ly enforced. There are many ordinances already passed which if enforced would cause the streets to be kept clean and free from rubbish and' offensive matter. To protect tbe street paving ordinances exist which prohibit the loading of carts or wagons above a certain weight, depending on tbe material carried. Thus 2,500 feet of lumber shall con­ stitute a load for two horses or mules. Only 500 pounds of granite or marble, etc., shall be carried on a two wheeled cart. IMPROVING THE VILLAGE. Dolaa Good Work. The women of a Nebraska village re cently organized an improvement asso­ ciation tbe business of which will be to keep the streets udy and work for needed public Improvements. An ef­ fort to abate the waste paper nuisance has been the society's first step, and suitable receptacles have been placed in convenient places and notices posted asking people to kindly drop their waste paper in the boxes. In this work the co-operation of the children will be asked. Another step will be an endeavor to Induce every householder to provide n covered garbage can and so do aw« • with the placing of refuse in all tynos of odd and unsightly receptacles. T? •» request will be made that all the cans and tbe covers be pointed green. Other work which It is hoped to un­ dertake later is tbe providing of a pub­ lic fountain. Many of the women are anxious to take up tbe question of clos­ ing the many places in tbe village where liquor is illegally sold, and it ’ probable that something will be done on this line. practically waterproof and may be made entirely so by paint, and it is not;’ affected either by atmospheric Irfitt-, ences or by tbe acids contained in. smoke, which rapidly destroy galvan­ ized iron?

But the writer struck one note of glsdncss at the end of tbe epistle in tbe sentence, "Thank God, the pig had ten \young ones.” The officials once had a letter ad­ dressed to "Uncle John, Hopposite the Church, London, Hingland.” This was -Ji not delivered, but another one was. It was addressed thus: "To My Sister Jean. Up the Canongate, Down a . Close, Edinburgh. She Has a Wooden Leg” This last part of the address a was doubtless the clew. In the telegraph department of the British post office they get curious messages also. One young married man hurried to wire interesting news to his wife’s relatives. In his haste he announced, "Twins today; more tomor- . -TO row.” Stateamaa and Painter. - A distinguished statesman from a South African colony was once asked 1 by a friend to give sittings to a London 1 painter. He said be would give only. 1 three sittings. He was late at,the first, | later at the second and latest at tbe third. When he came in tbe artist remonstrated with him. The statesman ' had taken his place in a chair, and tbe 1 artist asked him to go and take the J seat he bad occupied before. "No.” 1 said the statesman, "1 am quite com-^ fortable here." "But” said the artlstw angrily, "you sat there on tbe previous " occasions. 1 cannot paint you unless you sit there again." "It doesn’t mat-, ter," said tbe statesman. "Besides, you' have made a beast of me." "That la what you are," said the artist and he opened the door and showed the visitor out. He afterward destroyed the painting. Stuffed a Monkey With Money. Ab RxpenNlve Calf. Fourteen years ago John Messcngaleof Macon county. Mo., and Elijah E. Reese of Charlton county went to Ift^r over a thirty dollar calf, and they are still at law- and fighting more fiercely than ever, although tbe calf must have grown into a pretty fair sized steer by this time. He is going finally to prove an expensive one for somebody. The , case has been tried four times In justlce and circuit courts, has been heard' once In the Kansas City court of ap­ peals and Is now pending In tbe Chari-1 ton county circuit court again, having, been remanded by tbe court of appeals. The costs now amount to more than a hundred times tbe amount the steer was worth at Kibe time tbe litigation began. A He* GalUetla*.

Many patriots who desired to serve their country for the *2,000 salary Consul Plumacher enjoys have gone to Mara­ caibo, but none has remained. Plumneber attends to that, according to the Saturday Evening Post At the state* department tn Wash­ ington they say when a ship arrives bringing a consul appointed to Mara­ caibo Plumacher Is on deck with ef­ fusive greetings. “My dear sir,” says Plumacher, “I extend to you the heartiest of wel­ comes. I”— Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, Plumacher withdraws tbe hands he has outstretched and says, “But no, I must not touch you. for I have just returned from officiat­ ing at the last sad rites for two dear friends who died of the yellow fever.” The consul shudders. Later in tbe day, after be has dined with Pluma­ cher. they take a stroll. The newcomer sees a row of graves, each decorated with an American flag. “Do they decorate the graves of sol­ diers here too?’ “Oh. no." replies Plumacher. “Those are not soldiers. There rest the re­ mains of several fellow countrymen, each of whom came here to be consul. They al) died of the yellow fever, and I strive to honor their memories." That is enough. The next ship takes tbe quaking patriot home, and Pluma­ cher Bettles down to the routine of offi­ cial life until another ambitious suc­ cessor arrives. Do you like your thin, rough, short hsir?

Washington Letter. i From Our Reguar Correspondent. Washington, D. C. Oct. 26, 1903. Attorney General Knox has finally in­ formed the war department of his de­ cision in tbe famous Llltauer glove case and it is co tbe effect that Representa­ tive Lucius N. Llltauer of New York cannot be prosecuted for tbe part he is alleged to have taken jn obtaining con­ tracts to furnish gloves to the army, in violation of the statute which forbids members of congress from sharing the benefits of contracts with tbe govern­ ment; because the statutory period of limitation, within which such a prose­ cution could be brought, elapsed more than a year ago. The contract was ob­ tained by E. R. Lyon ou December 7, 1898 and it is claimed that Congressman Llltauer was directly Interested in it and as this was a violation of tbe feder­ al law be was liable to criminal, prose­ cution. However the statute of limita­ tions has made this impossible and tbe attorney general has decided also that as the contract was properly executed and the goods delivered, tbe govern­ ment cannot bring an action against Llltauer to recover tbe money. He adds bis opinion that “no useful purpose would be subserved” by further action. This will probably end tbe case and the republican congressman will go unmo­ lested. Senator Morgan will introduce a reso­ lution at tbe ooming extra session ask­ ing the president for an explanation of his delay in continuing tbe negotiations for the trans-isthmian canal. The sen­ ator claims that tbe Spooner act directs tbe president to treat with Nicaragua as soon as tbe negotiations with Co­ lumbia fall. Instead of doing this as soon as tbe treaty was rejected by Co­ lumbia, tbe president has merely waited for something to turn up, and it is ap­ parently oblivious of the directions of tbe senate. It is said that many sena­ tors will support Senator Morgan and as the Cuban reciprocity legislation will have to originate In the house, it is very likely that while the senate is waiting it will take up tbe trans-istbniian canal question. As many friends of the ad­ ministration will come to tbe president’s support, it may open the session with some very interesting debates. Politicians of both parties here agree in expressing approval of the Alaskan boundary award which was given out last week in London. While it was recognized that this country would never allow Canada to get possession of much of the disputed territory, it was hardly thought that England’s formal consent could be obtained of boundary line which was so little of a compromise as tbe one iust agreed upon by tbe ma­ jority of tbe commission. But Lord Alverstone, the British commissioner, beuame convinced that the American claim was just and be had the moral courage to side with the three Ameri­ can commissioners against the two Ca­ nadian. He thus made the vote four out of six and prevented a dead-lock. TbeCanadiansshowed tbeir resentment by refusing to sign the award, but aside from reflecting the general attitude of tbeir countrymen and disgusting many Englishmen, their action wilt not have tbe slightest effect The line which will beflMtrked on tbe map agreed upon, Mount St. Elias. It gives us the entire Lynn canal as well aa the towns of Dyea and Skagway which’1* at its bead. The Tho Facto Ware With Us. fact that It is the main route into the Klondike region. Tbe Portland canal Is given to Canada, aa are also the two islands at it* mouth, Pearse and Wales; but two other islands lying a little farth­ er out, and In such a position as to com­ mand tbe entrance, are given to tbe United States. Tbe strategic value nf these islands is further enhanced by the fact that they command Port Simpson which is to be tbe Pacific terminus of tbe new trans-continental railroad. The Canadians are very indignant at tbe decision as they doubtless felt that the British government would sustain them right or wrong. They assail the honesty of Lord Alverstone and their attacks are not tempered by the fact that he is tbe lord chief justice of Eng­ land, and that they made a special plea for “distinguished jurists on the com­ mission. They expected a political de­ cision and got a legal and equitable one; yet they declare it to be the price paid by the British governmentforan AngloSaxon friendship. However the bound­ ary k settled, the Americans are satis­ fied, and the equity of the decision is England’s and Canada's quarrel. Another question involved in the case of W. A. Miller, assistant foreman of the bindery of the government print­ ing office, has just been decided by Controller of the Treasury Tracewell. Miller was dismissed by the public printer and remained out sixty-three days when the president ordered bis reinstatement. This action by tbe president was equivalent to a declara­ tion that Miller’s dismissal was unjust, and in the subsequent discussion with tbe labor leaders Mr. Roosevelt voiced tbe same opinion. Miller naturally de­ manded compensation for the time of his forced suspension, and the auditor of the state and other departments de­ nied his claim. Miller appealed to the controller of the treasury who has now issued a decision sustaining tbe auditor in refusing to pay Miller for tbe Lime he was out, declaring that pay cannot be allowed, even if -tbe suspension should be found to be without sufficient cause. It seems to many here that this is an attempt to compromise the Miller case. If bls dismissal was unjust be has tbe same claim co his pay as be bad to reinstatement and if’there was cause for dismissing him, be should not have been reinstated. There seems a con­ tradiction in the two decisions and Miller may take the case to the courts. Persistent rumors of gigantic land frauds in the western country have reached Washington and are being in­ vestigated by tbe interior department. Government officials, senators and rep­ resentatives are said to be Involved in the scheme to defraud the Government. The charges are that several great railroad systems and many members of congress have engaged In a conspiracy by which they obtained title to worth­ less lands, induced the government to make forest reserves out of their hold­ ings, and obtained tbe right under tbe lieu land act to select in lieu thereof valuable lands, not so reserved. In this manner they are said to have ex­ changed practically worthless land for that worth *5 to 86 an acre. This lieu land act never came up for open dis­ cussion in congress as it was intro­ duced by Senator Slewart as an amend­ ment to cn apportionment bill and was so enacted. It will take some days to get at the facts from the mass of start­ ling rumors. consideration of the Alaskan boundary decision appears slowly in tbe Canr adian press. It is now perceived by a few that the decision by tbe oommission rest* upon tbe fair-mindedness of the Pounds in, Thirty Days.

Another “Hiaiory of tandard Oil” hvg appeared in book form lately, but after one has read this one, that of Miss Tarbell remains and burns. It is announced that Miss Tar­ bell will end her series with a char­ acter sketch of John D. Rockefeller— this will be a-great document. Mother Gray’s Sweet Powders for Children.

Hinchman, Hastings, Mich. Dear Sin Consider one point, if vou please,!n painting your work—a point, on which the practice of painters is apt to be wrong—the priming. Tbe usual practice is to use cheap oebre for priming. Don’t do it. Use the same paint you are going to use for the other two coate. The reason for. cheap ochre is: it is cheap—a poor reason. The saving is very small—a few cents on tbe side of a house—and the damage considerable. Cheap ochre is very poor stuff; not fit for foundation paint; not fit for the bond between paint and wood. And priming is both foundation and bond. Devoe is your paint; the same for all coate: lead and zinc; best paint in the world. We bave no monopoly of it. Others can make it; they choose to make Inferior paint. Lead and oil lasts half as long as Devoe. Thia is an absurd condition in the paint business; but It exists. Devoe is your paint.

It proves that tbe r biggest speculators of all, Rockefeller I and Morgan, were not.really worth as ' much as the Inflated value of their stocks indicated. Mr. Rockefeller’s pet | stock, Standard OU, declined $243,­ 750,000, bis Amalgamated Copper $149, 381,000, and his Colorado Fuel and Iron, 9191,000,000; and Mr. Morgan has r lost fully as much.

It bas served r -as a salutary check upon a spirit of I reckless investment and wild speculaI1 tion that seemed co have taken posses­ ' si on of the country and it will bring S the great industrial stocks down to tbeir normal value.

The fact is clearly demonstrated by tbe stock market decllnetbat tbe real V condition of tbe country is substantial. If it bad not been so tbe tremendous losses in Wall street would have brought on a panic.

The great city Is a state within itself and the problems in government it has to deal with are really far more difficult than those which most states have* to settle. The present campaign is between Tammany on the one side and the re­ form element on the other. The for­ mer, while nominally democratic is in reality a purely local organization, whose supreme purpose is to get con­ trol of the municipality of New York with its immense patronage. The lat­ ter element, led by Mayor Low is com­ posed of the better class of men in both parties who are trying to reform the condition of affairs in the city’s gov­ ernment. Mr. Low’s first term as may­ or has been directed along the line of reform, but his opponents are asserting that he has not accomplished his avowed purposes. Looked at by an outsider, with miud divested of political bias, it appears that tbe victory of Tammany will be a triumph of ths vicious element in mu­ nicipal politics and the rtlapse of the city into the hands of “grafters” and corruptionists. If this is true it will be of no possible benefit to tbe democratic party of the country to have Tammany in control of Greater'New York. On the other hand while the Fusioniste may not be able to accomplish tbe com­ plete purification of New York City politics, there can be little doubt that their success will be on tbe side of good government and clean morals, in the country’s metropolis.

Nlckolai. This week we have mailed to each teacher in the oounty a blank to be used for making the required report to tbe directors concerning attendance. Each teacher is required by law to make this report and directors are warranted in withholding the last, month’s pay until said report is handed in. In case a teacher leaves the school at the close of tbe fall term she should also make out and send to this office a classification re­ port. All teachers are required to fill out the classification register for each term. Reading circles will be organized at Freeport on Friday evening of this week, at Nashville, Saturday forenoon and at Middleville, Saturday afternoon. The commissioner desires to meet all teachers and would-be teachers at these meetings. Believing that tbe professional train­ ing of teachers is one of the greatest needs in tbe upbuilding of our schools anb that a proper use of tbe means at band will in a measure supply this need­ ed training, the board of examiners at their meeting held last Saturday, adopu ed the following resolutions: It shall be the duty o( teachers of Barry county: . 1. To make ail required report* promptly, cheer­ fully and carefully. ... 2. To attend all Institutes and associations both local and county. X Tobe a subscriber and reader of at least one ijood educational journal. 4. To do the prescribed reading circle work. 5. To respond promptly and cheerfully to in»itatiotis to prepare papeiw aud discussions for edu­ cational meetings. . Signed D. N. Stowkll, chairman. B. A. Pesky. J. C. Kstcham. • The above interpretation of the word “duty” will be strictly followed in tbe matter of granting certificates and re­ newals; and for persistent disregard of any of the above provisions teachers now bolding certificates will be called to account by the board of examiners. Teachers holding normal or college cer­ tificates will be promptly reported to the state board of education for such neglector disregard. Directors who divide the school year into three terms are requested 10 ar­ range for tbeir winter terms of school to commence Monday, Nov. 16. Below we give the names of the chair­ men of the several boards of school in­ spectors of the county. The law desig­ nates throe men as truant officers for their respective townships, and teach­ ers and school officers are requested to report cases of truancy to them for ac­ tion. ' < ■ AmyrU. C. A.

"It is surely a tough existence, being buffet­ ed about from place to place, often without a bed to sleep in, and tbe wages, outside of the salaries paid to a few stars, are amazingly small. Yet when a man once gets a taste of circus life it’s all up with him. He’s never good for anything else and never wants to be. There must be a germ, bred of pie sawdust, that gets into the blood. Take the canvasers, for instance. They get $20 a month and their board, which usually consists of bad grub and an im­ promptu bed tn a wagon. Often they don't take their clothes off for weeks at a time* There’s one fellow I know who possesses more than the average intelligence. He has a trade, and dur­ ing the winter he makes on an average $20 a week, and yet just as soon as the circus season opens be throws up his job and goes out on the road with a show for $20 a month. In almost every town tbe management is besieged by men and boys who want to go along? and many of them offer their services for their board. It’s a queer state of affairs.”—Philadelphia Record. * Thursday, WRIGHTS’ rjrB Nov. 5th. SALE EXCEPTIONAL VALUES We have just made arrangements with the Wm. H.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT FURS? Going to take chances on them? Going to buy them from strangers in a strange city? Going to take some Jew’s word foi it? Or are you coming here, here to Wrights?—people who cannot afford to deceive you—experts in the Fur question —heavy buyers—close sellers—Fur dealers whose word is backed up by their “money back” guarantee. No one sells you Furs at as small a margin of profit as we do; no one in the city shows half the variety or quantity. Isn’t this argument enough? No? Then here’s another: Any Fur you buy here, and can equal elsewhere, bring ours back and get your cash. That’s fair, isn’t it? We will have a special showing of Profitable Politeness. “The custom house nuisance can be greatly abated by a knowledge of for­ eign manners." says an experienced traveler. "Politeness is not absolutely thrown away even on American cus­ tom house officials, and In France It Is three-quarters of the battle. The whole secret of getting easily and comfortably through the douane lies in the greatest possible politeness and the "least possi­ ble appearance of flurry. ‘Pardon, mon­ sieur; si vous aurez le bonte.’ etc., is a safe prelude to a happy end rapid re­ lease. If you have nothing to declare say so at once and at the same time be­ gin to open your bags and boxes. In nine cases out of ten this will have the effect of making the officer chalk all your boxes without a word. A little joke, too, about the absurdity of im­ porting anything into so perfect a coun­ try as France or some such mild jest will often go far to put you on the best of terms with the douanler. But above all things be polite. Remember that in France you cannot lay it on too thick."

His observations teach him that, although most of the acts of in­ sects can be explained by instinct, there remain what be calls “small plastic Judgments” by which they avoid difficulties and steer tbeir way beyond dangers.

A-, Oh No. No. No. No RAISED Undur a d®d«fon in tbe case or John Harney, of Battle Creek, handed down Juatlce Carpenter, of.tbe Supreme Ooort, the others concurring, many state prisoners will be released at once. Harney Was serving a ten-year sent­ ence for burglary, and he had served •o much .of It that he should have been released some weeks ago by reason of “good time.” The prison officials de­ nied that he was entitled to “good time” as he was a third termer. Hu had served sentences in Ionia for as­ sault and battery. Harney argued that he was illegally sentenced to Ionia, as It was beyond the Jurisdiction of either a Justice of the peace or a circuit Judge to send him to Ionia for such an offense. The Supreme Court coincided In this view, Harney’s case was first submitted to Judge Peck, of the Circuit Court, on a writ of habeas corpus. Attorney­ General Blair, when addressing Judge Peck on the writ said: “The prison officials of this state have been acting under aq opinion of ex-Attorney-General Oren to the effect that a term !n Ionia reformatory was to be considered whether or not the man had been sent there Illegally, the mere fact of hla servitude being enough." A considerable number of prison In­ mates are Id the same position as Har-. ney. A peculiar feature of tbe case under consideratluu was tbe fact that Har­ ney was Illegally sentenced to serve u term In Ionia for assault and battery by no less a person than Judge Hooker, who has since been elevated to a seat on tbe supreme bench. On three other occasions, the same thing was done by Battle Creek Justices. Had Oren’s opinion based on such sentences, held good. Harney would not be set at lib­ erty until Dec. 14, 1904.

When Bishop Satterlee ot Washing­ ton diocese Introduced President : Roosevelt he referrea (o the chief ex­ ecutive as “bls excellency.’’ President Roosevelt turned to Gen. J. W. Wilson, who sat beside him, and remarked, in a tone audible to the bishops who sat around him: “I do not like that I wish he would not say that” Bishop Satterlee, a moment later, in again re­ ferring to Mr. Rcosevelt, said: “The president of the United States ’’ That Is'right.” said the president.

The president spoke In part as fol­ lows : “In what I am about to say to you I wish tu dwell upon certain thoughts suggested by three different quota­ tions In the first place ‘Thou shall serve the Lord with all thy heart, with ail thy soul, and with all thy mind'; the next ’Be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves,' and finally that ’We being ready both in body and soul may therefore ac­ complish these things which thou commandest.' “To an audience such as this I do not have to say anything as to serv­ ing the cause of decency with heart and with houI. i want to dwell, however, upon the fact that we have the right to claim from you not merely that you shall have heart In your work, not merely that you shall put your souls Into h, but that you shall give the best that your minds have got to it also.

Honesty Comes First. ’ "Exactly as In time of war. although you needed in each fighting man far more than courage, yet ail else counts for nothing If there is not that courage upon which to bane It. So In our civil life, although we need that the aver age man in private life, that the aver­ age public servant shall have, fat more than honesty', yet al) other qual­ ities go for nothing or for worse >than nothing unless honesty underlies them —not only the honesty that keeps its skirts technically <’ear. hot the hon­ esty that is such according ter the spirit as well as tbe le^er of the law. “And let us not flatter ourselves, we who live In countries where the people rule, that it is possible ultimately fox the people to cast upon any but them selves the responsibilities for the shape the government and the social and political life of the community assume. • * , Condemn Wrong.

Diplomacy Should Be Nation’s Re­ Hance. Mr. Rockefeller's Comforts. Tbe country will approve tbe naval expansion policy if it be not carried to an extreme. Additions to the navy are needed and desirable and should be made, but reasonable consideration should be observed in carrying out this policy. That heads of departments and committee chairmen should be zealous for the biggest navy on earth is natu­ ral, but their zeal should not be allowed to carry the country into extravagance tn building warships. War even on a small scale is too tremendously expen­ sive for nations to undertake it without grave reasons, and American diplo­ macy rather than gunpowder should be the nation's reliance against trouble.— Grand Rapids Herald. .

If this government has patience aod - can afford to play a waiting game in or­ der to avail iteeif of tbe Panama route for thesbl* canal, there can be but one conclusion. Colombia will come as a beggar, ready to knock off a big slice of the 120,000,000 which .we offered and which tbe South American country de­ clined with thanks. Columbia is making a huge bluff in hopes of raising the ante. But it is a desperate case. Her expenditures last year were 42 per cent greater than her revenues; and this means heavy bur­ dens added to taxpayers already crush­ ed. It will not require many months . of that sort of financiering to put tbe Colombian government out of business, Mid the men who are trying to hold up tlacle Sam will be forced to accept our ■ tarxns or quit the governing business.

The president has allowed himself to be quoted freely by newspaper correspondenu with respect to his feeling on the subject of the Maryland contest. He also spoke to Senator McComas, who aspires to be the republican boss U Maryland, in language that cannot ba mirakec. The intense interest - shown by the president in tbe Mary­ land struggle is proof that he does not believe the republicans are going to have a “walkover” next year. He has plainly said that for the republicans to . lose Marylan• this year would be a damper upon the uatirmal campaign in’ f9M.—■ Richmond Tlmes-Deapatch. Tbe sad news of the untimely death of Mrs. Emma Booth-Tucker, consul in America of the Salvation Army, who was crushed to death in a railroad wreck in Missouri Wednesday night, will be a source of profound regret not only In tbe United Statesand England, but throughout tbe entire civilized world. Wherever the Salvation Army has carried its work tbe name of Booth­ Tucker is familiar. The second daugh­ ter of Gen. William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army, Mrs. Booth­ Tucker was born into tbe work to which her entire life was devoted, and in which she bad met with a success which appeared phenomenal until the excep­ tional ability of the woman was con­ sidered. Poesessed of that rare combi­ nation of qualities—intense enthusi­ asm, coupled with keen judgment and remarkable executive ability—with a devotion to her chosen work that gave her almost superhuman strength; with an optimism and a consummate faith in the righteousness of thecause for which she labored that enabled her to over­ come difficulties and prejudices which would have caused many a stronger person to falter, she was in truth a re­ markable woman. With a sincerity of purpose so apparent that it impressed all with whom she came in contact, she won the respect and admiration even of those who differed with her religious­ ly; and it was tbia strength of charac­ ter which brought her so prominently before the public and aided so materi­ ally in winning for her the success which she achieved.—Detroit Free Preaa.

Daily Globe.] This is the season when tbe woman who knows tbe best remedies for proup is in demand in every neighborhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in tbe middle of tbe nigbt by a whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies are almost as sure to be lost, in case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost In case of burglars. There used to be an old-fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu, but some mod­ ern mothers say that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to ‘‘throw up the phlegm” quicker, and gives relief in a shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as the croupy cough appears and it will prevent tbe attack. It never fails and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Dawson Bros., druggists. Dr. Donald McDonald, THE specialist is coming HOPE CENTER.

Vandiver gives tbe following account in the Swine Breeders* Journal of his experiment with tbe Yorkshire croes: K ‘ I have been crossing Poland-China sow* with pure Large 1 orklhlre boars for four year*, and I get more pigs and better ones than 1 ever got before. They are stronger and more thrifty grower* and fatten on less feed than any bog I ever saw. Now take the In­ creased number and the saving In teed, and we have much larger profits from a given number of sows. Thia is not all. They are hardier and not so Hable to disease as the native breeds. A few years ago I had seventy head of the native hogs and forty-six Yorkshire and Poland-China crosses, and cholera set In among them, and I lost the en­ tire herd of natives and only four of the cross breeds. I fed tbe forty-two crosses awhile and then sold them at 5 cents above the market. They brought 8460. If *the other seventy had been crosses and I had saved the same per cent I would have had 8704 more. •Now, these are facts, and I have good reason to like and recommend the Large Yorkshire to my neighbors. I had twenty-six crosses that averaged 175 pounds nt a little less than five months old. Last spring twelve sows had 100 pigs and saved nicety of them, and they were the thriftiest lot I ever saw.

They should not overtook the fact that he qualifies his condemnation of the western horse by the words “for bleed­ ing purposes.” There are good and bad range*borses just as there are good and bad farm horses. Their usefulness de­ pends somewhat on tbe way they have been bred and the age at which the. farmer buys them, writes a western breeder In Stockman and Farmer. As to their breeding, the worst for farm or other ordinary use Is tbe result of a thoroughbred cross on the wild mares. This horse, when taken young and broken, is unsurpassed for a saddle horse, but let him run wild till ma­ ture and be is hard to handle and often unreliable or bad tempered. The beat western horse for farm pur­ poses has draft blood In him, and the higher grade ’u this respect tbe better. These horses are nearly all useful A high grade draft mare from the range is just as useful as one of correspond­ ing-quality from the farm for breed­ ing. The range breeding doesn’t make any difference in her blood. The ordinary range horse of medium size, say 900 to 1,000 pounds, should be bought and broken when young. Then it is usually not bard to overcome Its wildness and to make a reliable horse oat of it, but a mature range horse Is harder to break and seldom be­ comes a satisfactory horse unless it has been handled on the range.

Other qualities which the training of tbe sea develops in the Japanese boy are presence of mind and readiness In emergencies. To keep pace with her shipbuilding Japan also Instituted nn increase in tbe naval personnel, and officers and men were ready as soon as her new ships were completed. Tbe officers are educated at the Imperial Naval col­ lege at Tokyo, tbe Engineering college at Yoknsuka or tbe general naval schools at Kure and Sassebo. Tbe sys­ tem of^ducation is very similar to that pursued at the United States Naval academy. Indeed, many of the officers were educated in America and Europe. Russia ranks third ns among the naval powers of tbe world and Japan seventh. It is believed, however, that Japan's strength on the sen Is not greatly inferior to that of Russia, be­ cause the navy of the Island empire is practically new and equipped with modern armament, while Russia's list of fighting craft contains many old vessels, which would be of little value In a sea fight of tbe present day. No one man in Japan has.contributed more to her advancement as a power than Field Marshal Viscount Taro Kat­ sura. premier of tbe empire since 1901 and before his advancement to the bead of the cabinet minister of war. Field Marshal Katsura was educated at a German military school and is one of the foremost soldiers of the empire. He entered the Japanese army in 1867 and participated in the war of restoration. After that he was for a time military attache of the Japanese embassy at Berlin. As vice minister of the army from 1886 to 1891 it was he who achieved the great army re­ forms that enabled the soldiers of Ja­ pan to ao readily dispose of tbe Chi­ nese. During tbe war with China he was commander in chief of tbe Third division and after tbe war was made governor general of Formosa. Since 1898 he has been a member of the im­ perial cabinet Viscount Katsura is fifty-six years of age.

All Sainte’ day, to tbe religiously indfined, is a term full of tender memories ct tbe dead, a time when sacrod senti­ ments are uppermost in the heart. Why, therefore. the eve of such a day should be made the occasion, not only for inno­ cent fun but for committing unlawful depredations upon property, and break­ ing the peace in sundry ways that would not be thought of by reputable people at any other time is certainly a strange thing. But, however inappropriate to the spirit of such an anniversary the vari­ oos pranks of Hallowe’en may seem. there could be no serious objection to them if they were always limited to harmless fun. It is a different thing, however, when property is destroyed or interfered with or when jokes are car­ ried bo fares to produce distress. Re­ ports .-were numerous in Monday's pa­ pern of buildings entered and injured, of children frightened into sickness, of fires started and in the suburbs of Chicage, of even a murder committed, all the result of a miserable perversion of Hallowe’en nigbt into an opportunity for mischief and law breaking. It is time that public opl nion set itsul f strong­ ly against these yearly outbreaks of hoodlumism on the last night of Octoher. ■ jmss | L’ r P1 g C" | ; E L K I’ I | ' ; || B president if sincere in his own profes­ sions of a desire to purge the govern­ ment of corruption, would bare to get rid of Mr. Payne in the near future.

The launching of a large vessel at South Chicago, Monday, was signalized by breaking a bottle of spoil! naris water over her bows instead of the usual bot­ tle of wine. Why a christening of this sort is not as efficacious and even more appropriate than tbe usual ceremony of breaking a bottle of wine over tbe bows of a ship as she glides into the water it would be hard to say. Certainly, the South Chicago method will appeal to temperance people more agreeably than the old-fasbioned'way, while as an omen of good luck it will have just as good an effect upon tbe career of tbe vessel as though a whole hogshead of tbe oldest and most expensive wine bad been used.

Instead of laughing at him, as I expected, the doctor entered into the case with the greatest gravity, tapping his patient’s head all over, looking into his throat and ears and sympathizing with him. The patient was at once won over and placed the utmost confidence in the doctor’s assur­ ance that a complete cure would be ef­ fected in a few days, voluntarily ex­ ercising the greatest care in carrying out the medical directions, tt-hicb con­ sisted In elaborate nothings to keep the patient occupied. A day or two afterward the doctor met him with feigned surprise and con­ gratulated him. “On what?” asked the patient “Judge for yourself," replied the doctor, handing him a mirror.

"It seems to be admitted in financial circles, gr usually well Informed, that the recent S decline in prices In Wall street was ' caused by his influence and that It p.cwas the greatest and most profitable BE coup in his wonderful career. There is little doubt that it resulted to hls ad­ vantage in an amount exceeding $250,I , 000,000.” “Twice that amount was lost by spec­ ulators and scared investors,” remarkHQ ed Colonel Monroe, "and it Is no secret Fr that the lion’s share of It was absorbed by what Is known as the Standard Oil crowd. But there is nothing remarka­ ble about this. .Nowhere is the trust idea so thoroughly developed as in P stock gambling. The ‘outsiders,’ by which is meant the fool public, are permltted to guess whether the ‘insiders’ are likely to force the market up or hammer it down. Sln^e these powerful -Interests absolutely control all of the factors which now enter into the estab­ lishment of quotations and do not hesi­ tate to use them they ate sure to win on every movement of prices. This be­ ing the case—and the facts are exactly as I state them—the winnings of ‘In­ siders’ are In proportion to the amount Involved in the purchase or sale of stocks by the Innocent 'outsiders.' If Mr. Rockefeller lives to the allotted years of those who take care of their health there is no reason why he should not leave an estate of four or five bil­ lions of dollars.” "I find that I am changing my views on the subject of these vast accumula­ tions of wealth id the hands of one man," admitted Judge Sawyer. "As an individualist I once held that socie­ ty had no right to interfere with a citi­ zen so long as he conformed to the spir­ it of the laws regulating the acquire­ ment of property. But I am becoming convinced that a billion of dollars in the possession of one man may consti­ tute a menace to the commonwealth. I do not say that this is the case so far as Mr. Rockefeller is concerned. I have the pleasure of hls acquaintance, and while I believe that some of hls methods may be open to criticism I know that he is a conscientious man and a good citizen. But 1 am beginning to doubt if society can exist in its pres­ ent form if one or more of Ils members . are permitted to wield so commanding an advantage as that possessed by Mr. r Rockefeller.” "A man is entitled to all that be can earn," declared Postmaster Jenkins. “Mr. Rockefeller saved bls money when he was young and has been sav. ing It ever since. Let him make all he can, I say. In this glorious republic of ours we all have a chance to become .billionaires. Of course I do not expect to become oue myself, but I am not .... sore because some one else is smarter or more lucky than myself.** “I doubt if the American people take any steps which will interfere with your prospects of becoming a billion­ aire. Jenkins," said Colonel Monroe, lighting a fresh cigar. "At the risk of hurting your feelings I will say that । you and other penniless Rockefellers . constitute tbe stumbling block in tbe way of calm discussion or rational legfalation. When any one speaks of a millionaire you throw yourself on , guard. It is you and Mr. Rockefeller to the defense of society. You have been drilled to say such things, and say them with ‘be accuracy and intelli­ gence of a prtrrot. Some one has as­ sured you that the defense of money or 5g property, no matter bow acquired or . bow used, is nn evidence of your own sturdy independence and of your loy­ alty to our established institutions. You say a man is entitled to all he can earn. What do you mean by that?" “I mean that be is entitled to all that he can get,” stammered the abashed and surprised postmaster. “That's what I supposed you meant, and I congratulate you on expressing your meaning so clearly on your sec­ end attempt.” laughed tbe colonel, re­ covering from bls anger. “Your rogg marks annoy me at times, Jenkins, but 1 know that you mean all right Nev­ er repeat trite sayings unless you know what they mean and unless after hav­ ing given them thought you are con­ vinced that they express a truth better than you can word it. If the Ameri■can people have one fault more glaring than another it is the habit of chorus­ ing a lot of set phrases, some of which mean nothing and others express an untruth. You say that a man is enutw to all that be can get. You do not believe anything of the kind. Jen- "Do yon think that a man can get a "I don’t tasow,” said Jenkins, who r 4* L* UbMMI Colonel "It all depends on what we doaVt but that a mas can go down in history as the greatest man of his century or of his age.” "You surely are not serious,” ex­ claimed Judge Sawyer. "DO you mean to assert thht posterity will rank Mr. Rockefeller with our great inventors, or even with Mr. Carnegie, who is de­ voting his vast fortune to so splendid a purpose?" "I do,"' declared Colonel Monroe. “Edison, Tesla, Marconi and others have performed wonders, but all that they have accomplished is as nothing compared with the demonstrated dis­ covery made by Mr. Rockefeller. Years ago a radical social philosopher enunci­ ated the untruth, 'Private property robbery.’ It has remained for Mr. Rockefeller to make good the prophecy of an opposing economic school and to practically demonstrate the aphorism, ‘Private property for use in production and distribution is an impossibility.' To those who claimed that competition was the life of trade and tbe keystone of the arch of industry lie replied by annihilating competition with the weap­ ons of competition. To those who held that the tendency of great fortunes was to dissipate themselves he respond­ ed by amassing in less than cne gen­ eration n fortune greater than the com­ bined wealth of all of the thirteen col­ onies when they formed tbe United States of America Single handed, he has overturned the traditions and mocked the wise sayings which bad been handed down through the centu­ ries.” "But how about Mr. Carnegie?’ ask­ ed Judge Sawyer. ‘‘He was in a posi­ tion where he could have amassed a billion, but he preferred to retire and to devote his money to the pleasure and education of the people.” "When Mr. Carnegie realized that a human being could pile up a billion of dollars be ceased, and thereby missed greatness,” returned Colonel Monroe. "The sense of humor is strongly de­ veloped in Mr. Carnegie and is almost lacking in Mr. Rockefeller. Having with comparative ease reached a point where a billion was in sight. Mr. Car­ negie decided to apply himself to the more difficult and equally original task of intelligently giving it away. The income on what remains amounts to more than 815,000.000 annually, n mere trifle, of course, compared to tbfc hundred million or mdre which repre sents Mr. Rockefeller's ’earnings.' But the latter has tbe courage and the con­ sistency to play the system to a finish. I have sometimes thought that be Is inspired with a desire to expose the su-, preme folly of a state, of society which has made bls success possible. lie takt^s every advantage which those who would supplant him take. He claims as much and yields ns little ns the enforcement of the laws will per mlt He is the highest living type of business, financiering and organizing genius. He gives the usual percentage of bls income to charities or to endow­ ments. If a millionaire can afford a gift of $10,000 Mr. Rockefeller can equally well afford to give $10,000,000 That is the exact difference between the possibilities of a millionaire and a billionaire. "It requires a high degree of courage to stand in the place taken by Mr. Rockefeller.” continued Colonel Mon­ roe. "He is the target for abuse from those who strove with might and main to drag him down that they could rule in bis stead. He is denounced by those who unsuccessfully imitate him and wifb see nothing wrong in the condi tions that created his absurd fortune. If Industrial and social institutions are right, Mr. Rockefeller is right. It the Interests of the mass of tbe people are best conserved by the massing of wealth in the handd of a few. Mr. Rockefeller is the greatest benefactor of bls time. If it be a good thing that a million men should have nothing, or practically nothing, and that one man should have a million. It is a better thing that one man should have a bil­ lion. He can do more with it, and the million propertyleas ones certainly are no worse off than they were before be amassed his billion, with or without their aid, as the case may be. But hon­ estly, judge. I think that a billion of dollars in the keeping of one person is the most laughable thing in the world.” "I think I should be inclined to laugh If I bad it,” said the judge, wlti a quiet smile. His face grew thought­ ful as he added: "Whenever I think of these monumental fortunes I tremble for the future of our country qnd of society. A billion of dollars! One per­ son a thousand times a millionaire! It is not laughable; It is appalling.” "Say, but that’s an awful lot of mon­ ey,” Interrupted Jenkins.

PLOWING WITH AUTOMOBILE An interesting experiment was re­ cently tried on the Raser estate at Ashtabula, O.. where sparks from a passing train bad set fire to tbe grass in the adjoining meadows. To cope with tbe fire plowing was necessary, and, the horses not being available at that hour, (he owner's automobile was pressed into service. Ropes from the ends of the singletree were attached to the rear axle of the machine. Mr. Baser held the plow handles, and his brother operated the automobile. Furrows were turned, but It was found to be Impossible to operate- the machine slowly enough to get the best results. In order to do this it would be necessary, to gear down tbe ma­ chine to a slower rate of speed. - The tendency of the plow was to skim the ground in places, and it was with dif­ ficulty that tbe man at the plow han­ dle.. could keep up. The automobile, however, served the place of a plow horse sufficiently well for the purpose of breaking up tbe surface of the ground, and the work was done more rapidly than it could have been in any other way. The first test led to another in a few days, when an acre and a half of grass was to be mowed. Here, too, it was found impossible to operate the ma­ chine aw slowly as was desirable. How­ ever, it was proved that a piece of gra^s which would require three hours with horses could be mowed in one hour with an automobile as tbe motive power. The Rnsers* machine, which is of the gasoline type, weighs 1.S00 poundn, and baa a seating capacity for four persons. PROF. Ab In*enloa« Fire Escape.

A land flowing with milk is an an­ cient Idea, but streets paved with It is a notion essentially modern. It is be­ ing seriously proposed to the munici­ pality' of Paris by a contractor of standing. He claims for a pavement of indurated milk tbe advantages of dura­ bility and noiselessness. Perhaps also in times of distress and turbulence it might provide a resource attractive enough to tKrert the populace from barricades and bombardment of the public forces. It is sober truth that at the approaching doll makers’ exhibi­ tion there will be a great variety of objects made from indurated milk. These Include dominos, dice, cigar hold­ ers, canes, umbrella handles, forks and spoons. The latest fire escape contrivance consists of a block of strong metal plates containing several peculiarly arranged pulleys through which the rope passes. The device Is such thai there is a constant friction on the rope, which can be Increased by a slight pressure on the lower part. A person lowering himself can completely con­ trol his descent or actually stop at any point By an ingenious arrangement of tbe pulleys after one person has de­ scended the block and slings can be pulled quickly to tbe top again, ready for use by any number of others.

I- 46th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY n. On Hallowe'en night there was a gathering of fifty-six neighbors and friends at Beef, the home Mr. and Mrs. J. live of ...... N. Burroughs of the first ward. It was a genuine surprise, bouse warming and charivar^. Guns were fired ant every kind of instrument that would make a deafening noise was used. After baud shakings and congratulations a bounte­ ous supper was served at six o’clock, consisting of the old fashioned viands and served in pioneer style. Apples were passed around in a half bushel basket. A fine program was then add­ ed for the entertainment of the com­ pany. Mr. and Mrs. Burroughs had been married just forty-six years and one week, so it was thought to recall old remlnlscenses of their wedded life would be very interesting. After In­ troductory remarks by the toast master, George Nichols, Mr. Burroughs was called on to give what were bis ambiti­ ous expectations ana anticipations when he started out for himself but not feel­ ing well enough to respond be begged to be excused. Mrs. B. was asked to tell her experiences of wedded life and her stories of the funny side were thrill­ ing and amusing, causing much side­ splitting laughter. Boyhood recollec­ tions of his father were given by Adlan Burroughs. Following this there were three excellent readings by Miss Emma Brietmeyer, Mrs. Ida Custer and Mrs. Libbie Fuller. The history of Mr. and Mrs. Burroughs was responded to by Mrs. Bart. Geschwind. She wrote the following sketch just for the occasion not expecting it to come out in print but as It was requested by so many pres­ ent she finally consented lo let it be giv­ en to the Herald for publication. She was dressed in a very comical garb and rendered her paper in a comical manner causing frequent interruptions of ap­ plause and laughter. Fine violin music and dancing completed the evening’s entertainment and the occasion will long be remembered. It is worthy of note that the toast master was married forty-one years ago and bad on his wed­ ding coat which was in good state of Ereservation but a little too small as he as grown some in bis later years. All the company were dressed in old time fashions and one would think there must have been many and varied styles in the old times. John N. Burroughs was united in marriage to Miss Addelaide Winkle­ man at Romulus, Mich., Oct. 25, 1857, thus having lived together 46 years and of the company present at their wed­ ding all are living but ten. In two and a half years a son was born to them and two years later a daughter came, but in seven months its little life passed out. Their first home was built by them in Wayne county and was a little brick house. After a few years, bearing of the possibilities and inducements of the north woods, Mr. Burroughs preceded his little family and located up in An­ trim cou my. He very soon constructed a little log bouse, got it enclosed, then sent for his wife and child, and they lived some little time in it without doors or windows, their only roof being the sunlitsky by day and the starry heavens at 'night. Ic was from this period in life that the real tussle began, but as w* heard Mrs. Burroughs say only yes­ terday “it was the happiest time of all our life.” They enjoyed the blessings of life more than the people of today do; they had but Rule of the world’s goods but their wants were simple and very few. .After remaining here several yegrTtbey moved to a farm a few miles north of ibis city, but after a while Mr. Burroughs began to get tired of hard work and wanted to come to town to rest and to work at bis trade when be wanted. and so thev came. Thev build-' ed a barn and lived in it until the com­ pletion of another new brick house. Ad­ vancing years and very poor health comes creeping along and they feel that they must give up hard work alto­ gether, that they have done their share, and so this past summer they have erect­ ed another Yen' snug, cozy, little bouse where they expect to live their remain­ ing years to enjoy the fruits of their bard labor. It is our purpose to give but a very short and brief history of their lives (and much of this bad to be stolen) for It would seem so very much more interesting to bear the stories told by their own lips of their varied exper­ iences way back in the 50’s. No doubt they would bold ns spellbound until after the dawning of morning. Let us go back again to the time when they lived in the log house, and what would seem tons, living in this present age of advancements and progression, hardships and privations almost unbear­ able but at that time the people knew nothing of the modern life with its tax- I seemed to them as mere trifles. They | had their pleasures and amusements, 1 dancer, bees and surprise parties, yea, and charivaries too, often going for । miles with ox teams and often going on foot cramping through mud or snow. ’ The ladles looked just as pretty and just aa bewitching io the plain caHuod»4«»es and the men were contented with .their home-made ham and Kentucky jeans and no questions were asked as the latest stylo or fashion. We have heard Mrs. B. tell about going to spend an J evening at a neighbor’s house in oom। pany with another mao and bis wife • with whom they were ve^y chummy, walking the distance, and the roads be­ ing very bod or the snow very deep. She and the lady friend would don the t rouaora of each others husband, the ex­ change being a better fit, aod then threw their petticoats up over their arms ami thus plod along through snow up to their wafau They had jolly good ' timet In ttwee daya I must*tel? you about a surprise that was gotten up on a Mr. and Mra. Blskney living some miles distant. Four­ teen or fifteen and some little children all piled into a great big sled drawn by four large animals t’jat were not as nearly feminine looking and appearing or graceful mt even oxen are, their names were Jack, John, Tom and Dan. After they had gone eotne little distance that great old Jack began to show dan­ gerous symptoms of balking. After a little gentle touch of the lash the<old fellow bolted entirely and the driver be­ gan to coax and he tried every persuasloa they could think of but be wouldn’t go. H« began to gee on one side and haw on the other and finally his tail be­ gan to rise, and wjth bis bead lowered he went bur, bur, and then stood stock still. “Well” they said, “never mind old fellow, we’ll go on and you’ll stay here,” and so they took off the yoke, laid it down by the roadside and tied old Jack and John to a tree and they went on. It was a heavy load for one team to pull, so some of the weaker ones and the children rode in the sled while the stronger ones went on foot arriving at Mr. Blakney’s about 11 o’clock mak­ ing the awfulest racket. Mr. B. came to the door and called out “For mercy sake! is the world comiug to an end?” Some one answered, “No, only the stars are falling.” “Who’s out there?” “Open the door and let us in and then you’ll see who’s here.” They all got in and bad a good time until the “weesma” hours. When they got along back where they left Jack and John, there they stood patiently waiting. They were hitched up with the yoke again and re­ turned home willingly and without any further trouble. We can’t relate many of the funny things incidental to their live* but wo do know a “thing or two.” We know that Mr. B. got drunk once io his life, and the funny part of it was he never tasted a drop of the liquor, but got drunk just the same. Iq those times it was not considered a wrong to keep a jug of good whiskey in the house; in fact it was thought to be just as essen­ tial as the country doctor. One day Mr. B. went to town and had the gallon jug filled up which cost only 25 cents. He brought it home and set it on a chair which stood near the stove and be sat down on the other aide of the stove to warm up while Mrs. B. was getting the dinner ready, and in a little while that jug began to throw out a fragrance that Mr. B. thought smelled p/etty good and pleasant. He began snuffing and smelling land finally he jumped up and went and put his nose to the jug and he said, “Why, Mummy, this whis­ key smells awfully good” and in a few minutes he would take another long drought with his nose, “Why Mummy this is so good, I never saw anything like it.” Finally dinner was ready and be got out of his chair, tottering and shuttling along and got seated somehow, and the first thing he did he reached over to a dish of stewed applesauce, which in those times was a rare deli­ cacy, and actually clawed out a hand­ full and began to lick it down. Mrs. B. was terribly shocked for she never saw her John act like that before. She called out to him, “Why John Bur­ roughs what are you doing.” “I’m only eating my supper Mummy.” “You great big bog you needn’t think you can have all this sauce,” and she set it aside. “There, you great big”— she called him a name that begins with an F. “I’m only eating my supper Mummy.” Well, be ate what be could, went to bed with a great big black cal­ dron hanging bottom side up over him, but be came out of bis drunk all right never to put bis nose to the nozzle of a jug again, sad as we all know Mr. B. has ever since been a good, moral citi­ zen, friend and neighbor. People’s appetites vary; some like what others do not. If there is one thing that Mrs. B. likes better than an­ other it’s pie. She has a craving appe­ tite for any kind of pie and never re­ fuses it from a little piece of dried ap­ ples to a great big piece of chicken pie. She only accounts for it that she could not have all she wanted when sbe lived up north in that log bouse. They then very seldom bad pie because there was nothing to make pie of. Dried apples were so scarce that sbe would take up lust a few with her finger tips and mix in pretty plentifully of bread crumbs and added lots of juice to make them last all winter. The first year their tree* bore any cherries there vbs just enough, every one counted, to make one pie. There was herself, John, the Hide son, the hired man and a little girl friend who was staying with them. So sbe cut the pie into five pieces so each one could have just their share and no more. Well, while they were eating their first courses of their din­ ner someone knocked at the door. Lo and behold who was it but the country ask the preacher to sit dowa and eat dinner with them and he had the man­ ners to accept the invitation and sbe bad to give him her piece of pie and go without herself, choking down the dis­ appointment after she had such happy aoticipotions. It looked so good and smelled so good but not one of them of­ fered her a taste, and when that country preacher left the house »be sat right down and cried and cried Mr. B. happened w come in and found her weeping as if her heart was broken and he said “Why Mummy whatever is the matter?” She told him bow sbe did want a piece of that cherry pie. Then he tried to console her by saying he 11.00 A log them well end good health until Attention!

In some manner this draft fell into the bauds of Arthur Smith, of the firm of Smith Brothers, liverymen at Lake Odessa, and It is al­ leged that he placed the name of Smith Bros, on the back of the draft and got it cashed at the City Bank. The draft, of course, went through the channels of trade and it was some little time before the forgery was dis­ covered. Saturday, Mr. Anderson made complaint against said Arthur Smith, before Justice Bishop, charging him.with falsely and feloniously forg­ ing the endorsement to the paper. Sunday, Deputy O. B.

Hastings Defeats Galesburg. Hastings defeated Galesburg high school eleven Saturday afternoon at the fair grounds in a close and well contested game by a score of 16 to 0. Both teams played good, clean, snappy ball throughout. Th^ first touchdown was made by Hastings in the first few minutes of play, being made on a long run on a trick play. After that Hast­ ings made one more touchdown during the first half. The teams were well matched, the bail changing hands often. Only once did Galesburg threaten Hastings’ goal during this half when she tried-for a goal from the field which fell short. Afier this Hastings re­ gained possession of the bail and by a series of end runs ana line plunges worked the ball down the field and over the goal for a touchdown. Michael failed to kick goal. Score 11 to 0. The recond half started out as brisk as the first one bad been but Hastings seemed to have the better of the argu­ ment, Hastings making the only touch­ down during this half. The story of how they made it, is only a repetition of the former ones. Only a few min­ utes more of play remained and Gales­ burg realizing this played desperately to score and very nearly did. They worked the ball gradually into Hast­ ings’ territory, every inch of ground being stubbornly contested. It looked as if they were bound to score but a fumble on the five yard line lost them this opportunity and Hastings soon worked the ball out of immediate dang­ er. After this, however, Galesburg tried twice for a goal from the field but in each case the ball was not lifted from the ground. Time was called shortly after, the final score being 16 to 0. This makes the second time that Hastings has defeated Galesburg this *' year. ,FnI1,c<?ni? U£<S’ J.1-®! ■«?«»“. «•«: single admission, 50c.; single admis­ sion for students, 35c.

This famous lecturer, preacher and author, is believed to nave addressed more people than any other man/Hving. He has been on the lecture platform forty years and averaged two hundred lectures a year, besides preaching to the thousands that throng his church. His biographer, Rev. Albert H. Smith, says of him: “Churches have been established, magazines founded, invention/ made, business enterprises undertaken, the discouraged have taken heart, the poor have become rich, teachers have adopt­ ed methods more in harmony with psy­ chological laws, real estate has been advanced, hotel-keepers have become more thoughtful of the comfort of their guests, hundreds of young men have entered the ministry, thousands have secured an education, hundreds of thousands of characters have been en­ nobled, and heaven will be the richer, ip consequence of Conwell's lectures.” The citizens of Hastings will have a chance to hear this famous man next Wednesday evening at Reed’s opera house, when he will open the women’s club lecture course with bis lecture on “Heroism of a Private Life.” Michigan Central Excursions.

Her interests are with the canal, not with Colombia, and she has quite as good a reason for de­ manding independence as the Ameri­ can colonies had for demanding their independence. What is more to the point, the United States have far bet­ ter reasons for assisting her to maintain thia independence than France had for assisting the American colonies. If this independence can be assured through official recognition of the new government by the United States, so much the bette^.—Detroit Free Preet. No Moro Thon He Deserved. Entitled to Little Sympathy. After doing everything in its power to help Low and injure McClellan, the New York World sums up the lesson of the New York city campaign by saying: “The next Fusion candidate for mayor must be a democrat.” That was what Mr. Jerome said at the outset. And the Fusion organs ridb culed him. That was what other observ. ing, far-sighted democrats who desired purity of municipal government said when the campaign for nominations be­ gan. But the Fusion leaders and or­ gans would listen to nothing of the sort. New York is a democratic city. The democracy has a right to be represent­ ed in the office of the chief executive of the municipality.—Grand Rapids Post. Stepped Against a Hot Stove. A child of Mrs. Geo. T.

Congress meets, here today and after a short time spent in organizing the new bouse, the fifty-eighth congress will be in complete working order. The president's message for the extra ses­ sion will be a short one and will deal exclusively with the question of Cuban reciprocity, which is the special bust nesa before Congress. On Saturday the party caucuses were held and both parties chose their leaders, In what promises to be an intensely Interesting and politically important session. The Cuban reciprocity legislation must originate as a bill In the house, and when it gets to the senate there will be much tariff talk, which the republicans will encourage, believing that the country is with them, and furthermore that in this way they can prevent a discussion of the scandals in the differ­ ent departments. In fact they seem to have chosen the tariff discussion as the lesser of the two evils. The condition of affairs in Colombia may be con­ sidered in the senate and there is a chance that an attempt will be made to ratify the Chinese treaty at once, In order to forestall Russia’s action in Manchuria. Those politicians who believe that the labor vote will be a large factor in the campaign next fall, will watch with interest the proceedings of the conven­ tion of the American Federation of La­ bor which meets today in Boston and where the question of the “open shop” will be discussed by the.delegates from the entire oountrfr. President Roose­ velt has always posed as a friend of la­ bor and be wishes the laboring men to take his view of the decision in the Miller case. It is hardly by mere chance that at the very time when this question will come before the feder­ ation, Secretary Loeb, on behalf of the president has sent invitations to six members of labor unions in Butte, Montana to come to Washington to dine with the president at the white house. The date has been fixed as No­ vember 18th. Perhaps the president believes that the laborers will be as flattered by this attention as the ne­ groes were by his dinner to. Booker Washington. Viewed lo the light of their effect upon the presidential campaign, the recent elections are regarded by the democrats here as a great victory for citizens of Charlotte did not call dl to learn which was without sin The *npreoae ooun of Michigan has I among them so that he might with best S0med the judgment of the lower | grace heat the tar for Clerk Copeland otwrt tn the case of Fm-msr CUy Au land put on the feathers.

In New York Qty the republicans were unable to continue in L. « la*. power under •the name of Fusionisu. Th* democratic member* of the present fusion government were re-elected on the Tammany ticket which was headed by Representative McClellan, a demo­ cratic member of congress. Represent­ ative William Randolph Hearst played an important part in this campaign, as his papers were the'only ones which op­ posed the fusion candidate. This will probably insure Hearst of the New York delegation at the next national convention, and bls great influence with the labor leaders as well as the support of his powerful papers in New York, Chicago and San Francisco, will make him a strong candidate for the democratic nomination. As the politi­ cal situation now stands he and Gor­ man are the most likely candidates. The democrats lost in Ohio, where the republican success is regarded as a per­ sonal victory for Senator Hanns, who is now being boomed for the republi­ can nomination, apparently in spite of himself. Hanna is popular with the party In Ohio and in the east and many powerful friends, who unless he posi­ tively prohibits it, will continue to boom nim for the nomination. The f(resident Is popular in the west aud his rlends are equally determined that he shall be the choice of the national con­ vention. It is certain that President Roosevelt fears Hanna as much as he does 'Gorman. The Roose veil-Hanna question may yet completely destroy the republican harmony. Owing to its influence upon the ca­ nal, the revolution in Panama Is given far more attention than is usually paid to such disturbances in the South American countries. Ever since the Colombian government rejected the canal treaty there has been talk of se­ cession in Panama, and of then treat­ ing directly with the United States, so that the waterway could be construct­ ed at once. Panama has now declared ber independence, adopted a red white and blue flag, entrusted the govern­ ment to a triumvirate representing the different political parties driven out, without bloodshed, all the Colombian troops who did not join the revolution, and is now asking recognition by the United States government. The name of the small republic, with its popula­ tion of about 250,000 la Republics del Ismo, (Republic of the Isthmus). Unit­ ed States warehips are now at Colon and Panama ana marines bare been landed to see that there is no interfer­ ence with traffic on the isthmus. In fact the navy department bad the ships ready and so near the scene of trouble as to arouse a suspicion that it was wel! informed of the plans of the revolution­ ists. The European press accuses this country of being directly responsible for the secession of Panama but as they are anxious for the completion of the canal they seem to make little objec­ tion. There is no doubt that we could come to terms, more quickly and more satisfactorily with Panama than with Colombia, aud Senator Cullom of the foreign relation committee of the sen­ ate expresses a general opinion when be says he hopes the revolution will succeed in establishing a government so that we may get to work and build the canal. The rights of the United States on the isthmus are defined in a treaty signed with New Granada, a state of which Colombia is the remain­ ing fraction, in 1846. In this treaty we guarantee the suzerainty and property on the isthmus to New Granada (now Colombia) aod accept the obligation to maintain at all times an open Pana­ ma, we should have to consider it as the part of New Granada to which the treaty applied and to guarantee it in possession of the isthmus. This would be virtually establishing a protectorate over the little republic. Many people regard the order sent to our consular officers to recognize the de facto govern­ ment as the first step in this direction. Disastrous Wrecks. Ralph R. Ciamer, Hotting*.........

Daily Globe.] This is the season when the woman who knows the best remedies for croup is in demand in every neighborhood. One of the most terrible things in the world is to be awakened in the middle of the night by a whoop from one of the children. The croup remedies are almost as sure to be lost, In case of croup, as a revolver is sure to be lost in case of burglars. There used to be an old-fashioned remedy for croup, known as hive syrup and tolu, but some mod­ ern mothers say. that Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy is better, and does not cost so much. It causes the patient to “throw up the phlegm’’ quicker, and gives relief in a shorter time. Give this remedy as soon as the eroupy cough appears and it will prevent the attack. It never falls and is pleasant and safe to take. For sale by Dawson Bros., druggists. Real Estate Transfers. yUIT CLAIMS. Clara Mosher to John E. Shaft, par­ cel sec 30 Baltimore, 850.

Sold by all drurgiat Hall’s Family PUta Letter from Philippines. Lipa, Batangas, Philippine Islands I September 24th. 1903. f Dear Father, Mother and sisters: I will once more try to write you a few lines although I hardly know what to write about as there has nothing hap­ pened io speak of since I last wrote you a few days ago. I suppose you have be­ gun lo receive our letters all right by this time. Therefore it will not be such a long time to wait to hear from us as it was frorr the time of our sailing from Frisco till you received our first letter. I will try to continue to write a few lines each week so that it will noi be more than two or three weeks between your receiving of my letters. We are still in the town, Lipa, and hxpect to remain here quite a while—I hope so anyway as I have begun to like the place very much. I am at present quartered In a small room on the ground floor of wbat was once a very large Spanish convent. The floor of my room is inlaid with white and granite marble slabs some eight lo ten Juchen square. The walls of this room are built of stone and adobe and are Id the thinnest places a good four feet thick. There are at least fifty such rooms in this building besides the main church room and the very large dungeon underneath It. There is an adobe wall all around the building which Is about eight feet high and between three and four feet thick with only two openings, one at the side of the church and one at the rear of the same. The church has a large belfry in which are at least ten different toneo bells in sight and nearly as many more that are hidden by the large bells bang­ ing in front of them. I must say they sound very pretty when all are in mo­ tion. I can tell you it is a sight worth see­ ing on a Sunday morning to watch the natives in their queer dresses and cos­ tumes, coming and going to and from the church. They t>eem to have no set time In which todothelr worshipping as the long line continues from early morn to late in the afternoon. One queer thing about them is that after they have been to church and have finished their part of the worship, they all go to the market place aou do what trading is absolutely needful. Therefore Sunday besides being a day of worship is also their marketing day. There are gen­ erally twqgBjasses of people that can be seen on the streets at nearly any lime. One is the class that goes to church and then to the market, and the other the one that goes to church and then to the cock pit. The cock pit is a small place about two rods square, enclosed by a bamboo lattice work about three feet tall. On all sides are seats of bamboo built off the ground some thing like a chicken roost as there is seldom more than one bamboo pole to sit on. On one side is a long cable at which are seated two or three hundred with a big pile of Paseoe stacked In front of them Anyone wish­ ing to place a bet on either side has on­ ly to say so and bis money is immediate­ ly covered. Then two “humbre*” each with a big game cock enter the ring and Lake the scabbard off of the sharp steel gaffs, as they are called, which are about two inches long and as sharp as a razor on either edge. First one of the “humbres” holds his chicken's head around and lets the other chicken peck bis neck and then the other does the same. This Is to make them fight each other. The combat generally lasts about one and one-half minutes by which time one aod sometimes both chickens are bleeding freely. The one which looses strength first is whipped and is generally dead when he is picked up. Then the bets are paid and others are made on anew match. It looks very cruel to an outsider to see them allow their pets to be killed but it seems to be their greatest sport. I will now tell you a little of our com­ ing events. One day of each week is set aside for a field day. We have all kinds of sport* from a sack race to a baseball game. The captain has put aside thirty dollars a month for prizes for the best contestants. So you see we will not be altogether withoot our sports. We have a troop canteen in which we can buy nearly everything except in­ toxicating liquor*. I still have great times playing on the mandolin for the fellows. Well I guess I will have to bring this to a close, hoping you are all well aod happy. My best regards to enquiring friends. I remain Your loving son and brother, Chester G. Engelhardt.

SMAOUK A DON. $5 Reward. ^ES|S2r^v}URING the last twenty years the leading American J' ambition has changed from MONEY GETTING to MONEY GIVING. Our millionaires are studying the art of giving. Getting has become so easy, wealth rollfl in upon bo many, that u vaat fortune is no longer a great achievement TO GIVE GENEROUSLY •AND USEFULLY HAS BECOME AN AMBITION. Oilr men of wealth give freely, gladly. There is no need to squeeze money out of them; just touch them, and, like a full honey­ « ( comb, they freely pour forth a golden stream. They do not even wait to be asked. They build libraries, hospitals, gymnasiums, colleges, schools, churches. Every paper we pick up contains accounts of vast charities and benefactions. Never before in the history of the world has there been such an outpouring of wealth. The only thing at all comparable with it was the giving of fortunes for the building^of cathedrals in the middle ages. , The fact that our men of wealth are devoting themselves more to THE ART OF GIVING than to the art of gutting is due to the growth of our sense of social responsibility. There is a public sentiment which declares that tho man who gets without giving has not realized the responsibilities of his position. He is condemned for having fallen short of his duty. An experienced horseman, writing In the Detroit Free Pre**, says: “A horse will leave musty hay un­ touched In his bln, however hungry. He will not drink water objectionable to his questioning sniff or from a buck­ et which some odor makes offensive, however thirsty. His Intelligent nos­ tril will widen, quiver and query over the daintiest bit offered by the direst of bands with coaxing that woulAnake a mortal shut his eyes and swallow a mouthful at a gulp. A mare is never satisfied by either sight or whinny that her colt is really her own until she has a certified nasal proof of the fact A' blind horse, now living, will not allow the approach of any stranger without showing signs of anger not safely to be disregarded. The distinction is evi­ dently made by the sense of smell and it a considerable distance. Blind horses, as a rule, will gallop wildly about a pasture without striking the surround­ ing fence. The sense of smell Informs them qf its proximity. Others will, when loosened from the stable, go di­ rect to the gate or bars opened to their accustomed feeding grounds and when dealring to return after hours of care­ less wandering will distinguish one out­ let and patiently await its opening." * THE AMERICAN HIS REGULAR ARMY By SPRECKELS WILSON, British Military Expert T seems next to certain that in building up a great army America must take into consideration the na1 tional guard, a HUGE, AMBITIOUS, DILET ORGANIZATION, 5 TANTE, WIRE PULLING C about as warlike, scientific and efficient as the inv perial guard of China, Americans always show themselves to be large pedants—that is the inevitable result of their rigid constitution—but never does this pedantry appear so ridiculous as in the discussions over the legal status of'the national guard. Is the force a national or a local one. Must it as a unit obey the president or is it a congeries of atoms, each obeying its state governor ? Fancy the destruction of prestige and authority implied in such a fantastic dispute! One group roundly declares that the organization is subject only to the orders of the governors of the respective states and that no call from the president is legally competent to put a single member into active operation before an enemy not on state soil. Another fac­ tion, while acknowledging the authority of the president, asserts that his order must come through the governor and that no call through other channels need be listened to. Another class believes in the fundamental authority of the national government and an­ nounces itself always ready to respond to any orders received from Washington regardless of the Channel through which such mandate may come. y f ON THE WHOLE, IT IB MANIFEST THAT THE AVERAGE AMER ICAN STILL TAKES LITTLE INTEREST IN HIS REGULAR ARMY. He still reserves all his enthusiasm for the volunteers, who are often men of means and social position. The Englishman knows that the backbone of his defense and defiance consists of the regu­ lar army. THE AMERICAN, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAS YET TO APPRAISE THE TRAINED PROFESSIONAL SOLDIER AT HIS REAL VALUE. A DEFENSE OF PARTISANSHIP By TRANK S. BLACK. Ex-Governor of New York -'11" "Partisanship ia nothing but conviction, while nonpartisanship is the disguise which ambition always wean when it travels under an assumed name. A nonpartisan is an UNBELIEVER. He goes l****1where the wind goes. He ifl ready to agree with those who oppone, and the first word upon his tongue is compromise. He removefl opposition only by SURRENDER. No nonpartisan was ever found upon a summit unlesa partisans had raised him there. Destitute of strong beliefs, he is destitute of great courage. P The spirit which I profoundly admire' it nowhere more exem­ plified than in Chicago. Thia wonderful settlement has proclaimed for many rears the ralne of a consistent partisan purpose.

No objection is J to be offered to their affiliation with labor unions, but each employe will have to sign a separate contract, agreeing to treat with his employer as an individual in matters relating to w^ges, hours of work and the like. In other words, be must agree not to* . Invoke union aid in any matter amnectod with his employment On their part the manufacturers agree to hear and redress al! grievances and to pay tor one year the wage stipulated in * the agreement. Many of the union employes of the Reeves company have signed the agreement, but soma have refused, saying it is contrary to the spirit of trades unionism. w COAL STRIKE IS MORE GENERALI Chief Cobarn, F. D. Coburn, whose portrait Is here reproduced, is chief of the live stock OUR MONEYED MEN KNOW THIS AND IN THE MAJORITY OF CASES ARE QUITE READY TO FULFILL THEIR SOCIAL OBLIGA­ TIONS. There has been within the last twenty years a new realization of human unity. It strongly manifests itself in these generous gifts. It is the arising of a new ambition, and surely a NOBLE one. * We hear much of the “money grabbing” of the present age, but those of us who have watched the progress of the nation during the lifetime of two generations know that the nobler ambitions are rapidly taking the place of the merely COMMERCIAL ones that formerly ruled us. Indiana Manufacturers Refuse fa y Treat With Men Through Labor Organizations. . ------ i Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 9.—-As a rs- | | ■ ’ j In Trinidad, Colo., District 7,000 Men Are Now Out. Denver, Nov. 9.—The coal strike In the southern fields has become more general than the most ardent union men predicted. In the Trinidad dis­ trict there are 7.000 men out, and the situation with the railroads Is reportod rather critical, ay they had been hopeful of a settlement and had not laid in stocks of coal. The eastern lines are In good condition In this re­ spect, as they have been piling up fuel for the last three months. In the northern district the strike is not gen­ eral, as many of the mines have con­ ceded the demands. Nevertheless 1,­ 600 men are out of work on account of tho refusals. In Garfield county, where the mines ship largely to the coast and Utah, besides supplying coke ovens, the men have been allowed by their leaders to continue the contract system, thus preventing a fuel fam­ ine on the western slope. MOB LYNCHES A WHITE SLAYER F. D. OOBUBN. department of the Louisiana Purchase exposition to be held In St Louis in 1904. Fat a Hindrance to All Vital Action. A superabundance of adipose tissue fat Is a detriment rather than a benefit to all vital actions. Fat horses, like fat men. are handicapped tor active, bard work, and fat is a decided detriment to all breeding animals, says Stockman and Farmer. Many an otherwise valu­ able sire or dam has been ctterly ruined for breeding purposes by being fitted for the stock shows. It is an old maxim that "fat covers up a multitude of defects." but it seems to be the uni­ versal opinion among stock exhibitors that their show animals must be load­ ed down with fat to win prizes. Noth­ ing could be farther from the true sci­ ence of successful reproduction than the excessive fattening of breeding stock. Small Mares and Large Stalliona. A great deal has recently been said for and against breeding small mares to heavy draft stallions. Some of the best results 1 have ever obtained have been iu this direction, and bow other­ wise are we to improve the size of our mares? asks T. B. Idvingston in Breed­ er’s Gazette. If we breed small mares to small horses we cannot get large colts. Our little 1.000 to 1.200 pound mares of thirty years ago were the grandams of our best and greatest of today. I have bred 1.200 pound horses from a 550 pound mare, and they have worn well in all kinds of service since as street car horses prior to the use of electricity and as livery horses. One of them has been In the latter business for fourteen years and Is still in it as sound ns a dollar. Some of our very best wearers now. none Less than twen­ ty-seven years old and still on deck and useful, are grandsons and grand­ daughters of old Louis Napoleon, whose blood still shows up prominently in our best Range Horae*. Range horses have of late been sell­ ing to very good advantage In the riv­ er markets. The supply of natives has not been large enough to meet the de­ mands of the traders, says Breeder's Gazette. As high as $80 per head has been paid for good draft grades from the west unbroken, and the profession­ al fitters have eagerly grabbed up all of that sort on which they have been able to lay hands. As a rule, however, the western horses have not been ei­ ther good or in good shape and flesh this season, and It is very doubtful If this trade Is long to continue. It is true that the breeders of range horses have been able this season to sell them in very large numbers right in the range country, and this has been more profitable for them than to ship to east era points and there sell either at auc­ tion or private treaty, but even with this in their favor these breeders seem to grow fewer each year. Some well posted men seem to think that it will not be long before the range horse is a thing of the past The foUovrtag la a favorite mixture among some of the Urge hog ralaera of the central west It la thought to aid digestion, assist bone building and help expel bowel worms.

Indeed, ■ if the opponents of Cuban reciprocity can have their way, the seaaion will be devoid of any action whatever. True, / tho preliminary work of a new congross, consequent upon the induction of f a dow speaker into office and the organlsation of the house will be accom­ plished at the special session, thereby saving some of the time of the regular session, but this in Itself will not be a , sufficient showing for an extraordinary E * session. And if the session should fail to real* ire the purpose for which the president has Called it, (hauls to say the ratifica­ tion of the treaty with Cuba, the failure may justly be regarded as a humillating failure of the Roosevelt adminis­ tration to accomplish a measure to which it stands pledged. The meafore, in fact, is one which the nation is sol­ emnly obligated by the promises of con­ gress to carry into effect, and if it is defeated, the responsibility for its de­ feat will rest upon the administration and subject it to the condemnation of the country. And if the reports from Washington are to be relied upon, the treaty Is in serious danger. The adminibtrationists appear to be keenly alive to this danger and are bringing every Influence possi­ ble to bear upon the recalcitrant mem­ bers in order to save the measure. It will be especially Interesting to note the attitude of the Michigan republican delegation in this emergency. They persistently and unitedly fought Cuban reciprocity in the last congress and if they are consistent they will still pre­ sent 'a united front against a proposi­ tion which they allege is so inimical to the beet sugar industry in Mighigan. In view of the strenuous efforts of the administration to put through the treaty at the special session, whose only justification Is the passage of this measure, and in view of the fact that the sugar trust has recently gained con­ trol of nine Michigan factories, it will be interesting to see what William Alden Smith and his faithful colleagues will do. Will they fight the treaty as strongly as they did last winter, there­ by endangering the prospects of the ad­ ministration or will they meekly fall into line, under the Ikshlngs Qf the party whip? Whatever the Michigan republican congressmen may do in this matter, there is consolation in knowing that the sole democratic member of the dele­ gation, Alfred Lucking of Detroit, will vote in favor of the treaty, thereby arraying himself on the side of natlonal honor and justice towards the Cuban republic. ment for some time and that in reality the action of tbe president in recogniz­ Ing the new government wm not so precipitate as it looked. At the same time such action can not fail to be offensive to Colombia and may lead to serious difficulties with the republic. There is little reason, however, to doubt that the judgment of tbe world at Urge will approve the position which the United States has taken in tbe mat­ ter. For more than half a century the project of building an inter-oceanic ca­ nal aftoas the isthmus has been hoped for and discussed and even attempted. It is recognised by *11 the world that such a waterway would be a great .benefit not only to the United States but to all nations. At last, when all obstacles of a diplomatic character were supposed to have been settled by a treaty designed to be not only fair but eminently liberal towards the na­ tion through whose territory the canal must be constructed, when the people of Panama were both willing and eager to have the work proceed, and when the best interests of commerce were demandiog the speedy completion of the great work, tbe Colombian senate, actuated by narrow, selfish and merce­ nary motives, has tried to thwart the whole enterprise. This arbitrary course of the Colombian government has exasperated the people of the state of Panama beyond further endurance and furnished them with abundant justification for revolt­ ing and setting up an independent government. At the same time the logic of the situation makes ft natural and proper for this government to take such a course as w.’ll result in a speedy realization of a mighty plan of improvement which this country has undertaken to accomplish, not only for the benefit of tbe United States but for the convenience of the whole world. ’ .

Roll call. All members present. Minutes of yesterday’s meeting read, approved and signed. Supervisor Spencer submitted a partial minority report on equaliza­ tion as follows: A minority of your Committee up­ on Equalization beg leave to report as follows:. j First. We regard the Supervisors of Barry county as a highly capa­ ble, conscientious and honest body o( men, possessing judgment and dis­ cretion far more valuable to Bafry county and the State of Michigan than the judgment of any body of men less familiar with the property assessed. . * Second. We feel that, either on ac­ count of a lack of knowledge of the value of property of Barry county or for some other reason, the State Tax Commissioners in theirSrecent review of .the assessment of thisVounty have vastly overvalued the prooerty, and in their so-called eqflahzatmn. of as­ sessments have created greft errors in relative valuations of the respec­ tive townships and wards, thus mak­ ing a hitherto fairly good assess­ ment vastly out of proportion, unjust and unfair. We would, therefore, recommend that the.respective town­ ships and wards be equ?lized by this Board at the respective sums as­ sessed and fixed .by the- Supervisors and local Boards of Review. * O.

All they ask is a fair and reasonable trial of their means of cure. Their fihandfl responsibility is well known to every newspaper publisher and druggist in the United States, with most of whom they have done business for over a third of a century. From this fact it will readily be seen how utterly foolish it would be for them to make the above unprecedented and remarkable offer if they were not baring their offer on curative means having an un­ paralleled record. No other medicine than Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription could possibly "win out,” as the saying goes, on such a proposition. But they know whereof they speak. They have the most remarkable record of cures made by this world-famed remedy ever placed to the credit of any preparation especially de­ , signed for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments, This wonderful remedy, therefore, stands absolutely alone as the only one possessed of such remarkable curative prop­ erties as would warrant its makers in publishing such a marvelous offer as is above made in the utmost good faith.

About sixty went down from Hastings and thirty or more from Caledonia. Of course we refer to the members of the Eastern Star. They were invited to Middleville by Chapter No. 17 of that village, to attend a re­ ception given by Middleville chapter in honor of Mrs. A. A. Matteson, who was recently re-elected grand secretary of Michigan Chapter, O. E. S. The visitors were met at the train by the reception committee and escorted to Masonic hall where a very pleasant hour was spent in getting acquainted. A very fine banquet followed which showed that the Middleville sisters knew bow to shine Ip the kitchen as well as in the drawing room After full justice to the feast nod been done by one hundred and fifty people, a short programme of music and speak­ ing was indulged in, Brother Aaron Clark acting as toastmaster. Then followed the conferring of the degrees oftbeerder upon two candidates, the work being exemplified by Hastings Chapter in a very Impressive manner. Mrs. Matteson was made the recipient during the evening of some beautiful floral tributes and was treated in every way as an honored guest. �J WE! 4, LOW FUEL BILLS tre what make genuine DETROIT STOVE WORKS fuel saving Jewel Stoves and Ranges the cheapest stoves in the world, no matter' what you pay.

Guarantee and Reserve Funds to protect our contracts are now more than $6,000,060.00. The average cost for death losses and expenses, per $1,000 past twenty-four years at age 40 has not reached $10.00 per annum Over $5,000,000.00 deposited with state of Iowa, The law requires this. Our Reserve Fund now exceeds $2,350,000.00. This is pledged for payment of losses in excess of ten deaths to the thousand per annum. Calls become due quarterly each year, payable at your local bank, making it convenient and easy to carrj. Preferred risks only are written for small amounts, Our limit is sht thousand dollars ($6,000). There are many other good features in The Bankers Life that can best be explained by our agents.

Not a National Victory. *I*be victory in New,York City can hardly be regarded as a national one, not duly because of the local issues in­ volved, but also because tbe democratic candidate for mayor this year received a lew majority than the democratic can­ didate for governor received in New York City last fall.

Joseph Warren Fordney is entitled to whatever honor attaches to Michigan’s failure to obtain a place on the ways and means committee- Mr. Fordney represents the eighth district of Michigan in the house of representa­ tives, and this is his most notable achievement. Tbe appointment be longed to William Alden Smith of the fifth district b<- reason of his long ser­ vice in the bouse and bis position in tbe delegation. Mr. Snpith has long been an avowed candidate for lhe place and if his colleagues bad recommended bis appointment, there Is do doubt but Speaker Cannon would have made it. Mr. Fordney, however, decided to be­ come a candidate himself. He knew that he oould not be made a member of the committee, but he could prevent William A. Smith’s obtaining the covet­ ed honor. This would wound Smith and exalt Fbrdoey; so Fordney was ex­ alted and Michigan lost another oppor­ tunity to exercise a little influence in the house of representatives. The Michigan delegation seems to be com­ posed largely of what Mark Twain’s friend, Jim Baker, called “cur’ous crit­ ters.”—Detroit Free Press. To Be Bollt Anyway. Colombia having held up the canal treaty, It is the purpose of the Wash­ ington government to build tbe canal anyway and the necessary steps are be­ ing taken to bring about the desired •nd. Tbe canal ia to be built anyway. Of course the people of Panama, as of all Sooth American countries, are al­ ways ready for revolution or any other old thing, and they did not need to guess twicw to know bow Uncle Sam would stand on this project.

Tbe president has often urged that national honor and national interest, as well as justice to Cuba demand that reciprocity which is essential to the prosperity and well being of the people who have helped to found their own government. It is to be hoped that tbe opposition will be overcome and reciprocity granted without delay.— Jackson Pr.trlot. Reform Needed The next great reform in the service must apply to the charges of the qpilroads for tbe carriage of mails. It is very well known that the roads are im­ posing upon tbe government a rate for mall transportation which is about what it was twenty years ago, while ordinary railroad rates have been re­ duced heavily. This extortionate treatment of the government is made possible bv virtue’of the fact that con­ gress, and particularly the senate, is full of railroad attorneys more watch­ ful for the Interests of their corporation clients and patrons than for tbe inter­ ests of tbe’.r constituents, the people. —Springfield Republican He Controls Votes.

What might be termed the “Roose­ velt Doctrine” has just been announced from the white house in that part of tbe president’s message which referred to the canal negotiations and was written before ohe revolution broke out in Pan­ ama. It had to be cut out of the com­ ing message, but tbe president took care that Lt should cot be lost to the ‘public and gave it out for publication. He says very plainly, if Colombia will not coroe to a satisfactory argument with us let us build the canal in spite of her. The following quotations give tbe rubstance of the remarkable statement. “High authorities on international law bold that tbe canal can be dug as an in­ cident to exercising toe power to pre­ vent the obstruction of traffic across tbe isthmus.” “Io my judgment it is time to declare that the beginning of tbe caoa! cannot be much longer delayed. This cation does not desire to be un­ reasonable or impatient, but it cannot and will not permit any body of men permanently toobstructone of the great world highways of traffic.” “It seems evident in a matter such as this we should finally decide which is the best route, and if the advantages of this or any other possible route are sufliciently marked, we should then give notice that we can no longer submit to trifling or insincere dealing on tbe part of those whom the accident of position has placed in temporary control of the ground through which the ropte must pass; that if they will come to agree with us io straightforward fashion we shall in re­ turn act not only with justice but with generosity; and that if they fail to come to such agreement with us, we mint forwitb take tbe maMer into our own hands.

Despite the efforts of President Roosevelt Amer­ icans will never have negro equality. American women should wear American gowns and not patron­ ize the Parisian makers. If some leading woman of the United States, like the president’s wife, would set the fashion and wear American creations, which are just as pretty and costly, most of the women would follow suit. There will never be equality even among the WHITE PEO­ PLE GF THE UNITED STATES. There will of necessity be two classes, aristocrats and the common people.

GATES HE fear of a general panic is nonsensical. The coun­ try was NEVER IN BETTER CONDITION financiany. There have been practically no issues of securities in the last year and a half. They were paid for then. Some one owned them. Where is the money now! I tell you this is A RICH MAN’S PANIC. It’s your big speculator who has been dumping his stock on- the market, not your small investor. The big fellows have been, pinched by bad investments like the big underwriting schemes, such as the International Mercantile Marine and the United States Shi{»\ building company, and THEY HAVE HAD TO SELL OFF THEIR GOOD HOLDINGS TO PROTECT THE POOR VEN­ TURES. Why, I know men who went into United States Steel with 40,000 shares. They haven’t got 100 left t6day. They simply had ’ to let go. Stocks were nonsensically high awhile ago; now they are nonsensically low. But this is a good time to buy for those who select good stocks and HOLD ON TO THEM. One cause of the uneasiness has been the foreign distrust of American securities. United States Steel has been the barometer of the American market abroad. But the bond issue of $250,000,­ 000 and the retirement of $200,000,000 preferred stock caused dis­ trust of-the judgment of. the Steel directors. Another cause of the shrinkage has been the fear that we would get no CURRENCY legislation from the next congress. We ought to have a more elastic currency. I favor a $500,000,000 increase, with provisions that it could be called in if need be.

I then sat down and wrote to you for advice, some five or six months ago, and have since been taking your‘Golden Medical Discovery.’ Can now say that I am wel! and able to do all my work, besides doing lots of weaving. ■ In the last two months I have proven about four hundred yards of carpet and feel now that I will keep on with it as I like the weaving business so well.

COUNTRY IN THROES OF WAR Revolution Follow* the Exposure of the Depletion of the Treasury by Ruler After Americans Gave Founds to Pay National Debt. Santo Domingo, Nov. 16.—Harassed on all sides by revolutionists who have been bombarding the capital, the Do­ minican government has granted the demands of the United States made through Minister Powell. It did not' agree to arbitrate the Issues arising over the Santo Domingo Improvement Company, however, until the Ameri­ can cruiser Baltimore steamed into the harbor of the beleaguered city. The claim Involved is the national debts of the republic, amounting to . >30,000,000. more than two-thirds of which Is held by the improvement । company, an American corporation. Mr. Powell’s work is regarded as a great victory for the Americans. The United States had taken up the Im­ provement company’s case and sought payment of Its claims. Repud1*' • Protocol. President Wos y OH and his advisers resisted payment on the ground that a former president contracted the debt and stale the mon v. Finally, how­ ever. tbe United States and Santo Do­ mingo signed a protocol whereby the claim was to be submitted to arbitra­ tion. But after tb«* erent the Wos y Gil government declln* 4 to carry out the provisions of tbe protocol. Mr. Powell made several demands that the government fulfill Its obliga­ tions. While the rebels were burling shell and shot Into the city and its forts last Thursday President Wos y Oil notified Mr. Powell that it would carry out the protocol and appoint arbitrators as therein provided. This act. It is said, will bind the revolu­ tionists to the compact should they overthrow the present regime of the republic. Claim Is Old. Practically the whole of the claim was contracted by Ulysses Heureaux, the Nero of Santo Domingo, who came Into power In 1882 and was president, congress, constitution, law and tne courts for eighteen years, or until he was assassinated by Ramon Caceres, whose father had been poisoned fif­ teen years earlier by Heureaux’ or­ ders. Heureaux involved tbe coun­ try in debt and in 1897 the Santo Do­ mingo Improvement co’-ipany was or­ ganized by Americans to r.jsis’. him. The company loaned him vast B’*ms and wan showered with presidential favors and given a monopoly of the nation's business. All the improvements In the island were made by this company, which, to Insure repayment of loans made u> Heureaux, was allowed to administer the nation's finances, collect the rev enues and provide the budget of $60 000 a month. Robs the T reasury. Jiminez came Into power after Heureaux and the robberies of the public treasury by the republic's Nero come to light. They caused a revolu­ tion, Jiminez was exiled and Horatio Vasquez became president From that time until now rhe government has been trying to repudiate the claims of the American syndicate. United States Minister Powell’s vic­ tory Is doubly disheartening to many stanch supporters of tbe government Because of other straits in which it finds Itself. Jiminez has regained in­ fluence. though absent, and bis forces beset the capital. 8HOOT3 WIFE; KILLS HIM8ELF The U. S. battleship Maine has a*rived at Colon. Gen*. Reyes.

NEW TURBINE STEAMER. Perhaps the oldest ferry in the world is the cross channel service from Ca­ lais to Dover. It has been In existence for more than twenty centuries, and the vessels which have t»een engaged I In It inc lude every variety of shipping, from Cirsar's high peaked galleys, pro­ pelled by banks of oars, to the new turbine steamer, the Queen, described In h report to the state department by J B. Milner. United States consul at Calais. The new vessel is 310 feet long, with ' a molded breadth of forty feet and a depth of twenty-five feet, and has a complete awning deck. The main engines In the Queen condst of three separate turbines, each driving Its own line of shafting, the center turbine being high pressure and the two side ones being low pressure. When going ahead In ordinary work tbe steam is admitted to the high pres- , sure turbine ami after expansion there passes to the low pressure turbines and then to the condensers, the total ratio of expansion being about n hundred and twenty-five fold ns compared with eight or sixteen fold In triple expansion . reciprocating engines. At the ordinary steaming speed of the Queen the revolutions of the center shaft are about 700 and of the two side shafts about 500 per minute. This high rotative velocity implies the adoption of propellers of small diameter, and the utmost care Is exercised lu balanc­ ing them so as to obtain tbe full ad­ vantage of the absence of vibration ob­ tained by tbe adoption of tbe turbine principle. Even Id the immediate vicinity of the turbines there Is little or no vibra­ tion, but one is conscious of being in close proximity to great power. From amidships forwaru on tbe promenade decks there Is no noise or vibration whatever, and when the vessel Is mak­ ing twenty-three knots per hour Id good weather passengers are reminded of being on shipboard only by noting that they are gliding rapidly over the After a month's trial tbe Queen has made the voyage from pier bead to pier head In fifty minutes. Genoan papers report the discover} by Edward Mollard, a Frenchman, of a new metal, called selldm. It is stated that tbe discoverer claims that sellum costs about one-twelfth as much as al­ uminium and is lighter and stronger. It does not rust and is therefore suit­ able for use in shipbuilding, for the manufacture of pipes and for railroad construction. On account of its cheap­ ness and as it is capable of a tine pol­ ish. resembling nickel. It would be de- j sirable for the manufacture of cooking | utensils. Its hardness is said to bo al- i most equal to that of iron, while its power of resistance Is greater than Iron, but less than that of steel. The melting point is 1.000 degrees C.

All this is expensive, and consequently Only the comparatively wealthy can afeford to make the necessary outlay to Install tbe equipment But here comes the Inventor with a substitute for all this apparatus and witbin easy reach of even the poor men. In even the poorest and cheapest of the city bouses there is a water faucet from which more or less pure liquid can be drawn, and tbe majority of tenements have some means of beating the water be­ fore It leaves the faucet.

Your "Favorite Prescript!?n ” is a boon to sick and tired women, for it cures them when other medicines fail. I know whereof I speak, for I have had experience with it. For four­ teen months I had constant headaches ; seemed too weak to perform my daily duties, and when the day was over I was too tired to sleep well. I suffered from nervousness and indigestion, and everything I ate distressed me. Doctored vnth different physicians but received no relief. After read­ ing one of your books I decided to give your "Favorite Pre­ scription ” a trial. Am very glad I did, for I found it was just what I wanted. I com­ menced to improve at once and kept getting better until, after seven weeks, I was entirely cured.

If noth­ ing better is available the bather can stand In a wash tub and open tbe fau­ cet just wide enough to feed tbe water to the brush and keep the bristles mois­ tened without throwing the spray from the tubing with too much force, obtain Ing practically the same result as though a shower outfit were provided. SOLIDIFIED PETROLEUM. Attempts to solidify petroleum have 'been numerous, but up to the present have not been by any means success­ ful In a new method introduced by Mr. Helbing. a London chemist, how­ ever, a medium has been discovered which will hold from IX) to 95 per cent of petroleum. The process Is a very simple one, and the Inventor is able to I transform as much ns 90 to 95 per cent of petroleum of any description, light or heavy oil, crude or refined. Into a solid mnss. The discovery of Mr. Helbing is the outcome of prolonged work and pro­ vides a product which, while possess­ ing all the advantages common to pe­ troleum. has not its disadvantages of easy inflammability of Its vapors and difficulty of transport and storage. Moreover, the solid petroleum when lighted burns with an absolute quiet and uniform flame, does not run and Is consumed practically to tbe last atom, only a minute trace of ash being left. It has already been produced on a large scale and hart received the ap­ preciation of various high authorities. The rapidity with which tbe process can be worked Is proved by tbe fact that tons of petroleum can be solidified in about half an hour. suffer in silence rather than subject themselves to the abhorrent and hu­ miliating - examinations and local treatment so uniformly insisted upon bv nhvsiciaua. ly. speedily — without ex; •light expense—without 1 owabotne.

If the point ot no quorum should be raled, it would be impossible to act on a qoncurrent resolution, providing for an adjournment, even should one be brought over from the senate.

John a recent m The cattie feeding problem is now befilCV a great many farmers wbo have produced a crop of corn. They bad a bard experience last year with high priced feeders, dear corn and an over­ supply of Mt cattie. They hesitate tb embark, again In a business that la fraught with such risks. It la bad ■ ' ona matter to risk losing two. Bbeep feeding paid better last year, and the price of grain Is attractive. In the face ot all this, will It pay to feed cattle? That I* a question tu which do direct answer can be given, but certainly the outlook is much better than It was Last year, says Stockman and Farmer. FeedeA are cheaper by at least 31JB0 per hundredweight an important differ­ ence. Last year they were entirely too j high: this year they can be bad a reaaonable price. And this ta a cardinal ' point Ln the matter—If feeders cannot be bought right It Is seldom wise to feed. The price of corn Is high, but there Is no reason to expect It to be higher than It was last year, because a good many people expect to sell It . fittll, others may be forced to sell It Lnstead of feeding It. Money is very tight now, and banks are not lending any more than they can help, a fact that may tend to restrict feeding opera­ tions and at the same time to enlarge selling of corn. But perhaps the most hopeful sign of all to the prospective cattle feeder to tbe fact that the crowd is not running his way. A year ago ev­ erybody wanted to feed cattle. -Many were burned and dread the fire now. Today sheep seem to be very popular, but there Is no great rush Into cattie. All of these things are more favorable for the beef producer (han tbe clrcumstances of last year, but still it is ln> possible to say that cattle feeding is to be a oayiug business. Signs favor it however. Hydrophobia In Cattle. Recently there have been heavy losses tn the west among cattle from hydfopbobla. and this in spite of. the fact that some eminent physicians and many cranks have proclaimed to tbe wqrld that there is no such disease as hydrophobia: that what is called by that name is merely a child of tbe im­ ' agination To admit that what to called hydrophobia is a child of the Im­ agination is to admit that It exists and that It kills. Then wby deny its ex­ istence? asks Farm and Ranch. To claim that animals, domestic or wild, are sufficiently Imaginative to produce ; fatal results Is a little too absurd for* discussion. That there Is a condition, characterized by certain, and uniform symptoms, capable of Intelligent diag­ nosis and prognosis, and thnt this con­ dition Is fatal, is not denied. What more is required to constitute a dis­ ease. and If it is uniformly denominat­ ed hydrophobia Is It not Billy to say is no such disease ns hydropbobia? «ew transcontinental.railwa' WILL OPEN RICH WHEAT LANDS.' It is worthy of note that the recent announcement of an outbreak of foot and mouth disease on a Massachusetts farm was a- sad error. Tbe facts as officially determined are that some of the professors of the Harvard, medical school were experimenting on that farm with a cowpox lymph of unusual virulence, and the appearance of the ulcers on the cows: mouths which sug­ gested foot and mouth disease was found to be due to the inoculation with this virulent lymph.

Not a pound of the 1903 dip of domestic mohair went begging for « market the entire product of the coun­ try without regardSo quality or condi­ tion being readily taken by the manu­ facturers at unusually good prices. The most encouraging feature of the situa­ tion is the fact that twice as large a clip was really needed to supply the demands of our mills and factories. New channels are constantly opening for the multiplying varieties of new mohair fabrics, and it ta quite likely that the home demand for home grown hair will continue largely In excess of the supply for a long time to come. There Is a growing demand for fat goats and kids for packing bouse uses, and with an ever widening call for goats for brush clearing and not half enough to supply this demand ft is In­ evitable that the so called . Angora boom shall continue to grow with In­ creasing momentum for a good many years to come. r io Heart Michigan (Tentraj. Pickled Siberian Beef. An Interestlug item In connection with the German trade In Imported meats is that a few weeks ago the first shipment of pickled beef arrived in Berlin from Siberia. When It became apparent that changes were to be made in the tariff on meats some enterpris­ ing German butchers went to Siberia and there established slaughter houses to supply tbe German trade. A plenti­ ful supply of cattle is available, it is said, and the cost of tbe meat laid down in Berlin is given at a trifle less than 5 cents a pound. Some people seem to have the idea that breeding good stock can be car-jried on successfully only by those who are. wealthy. It Is true that ample cap• ital Is a great factor in tbe success of most enterprises, but It Is not absolute­ ly essential to success In producing good stock. The richest man In the world cannot make a herd or flock and keep it up without skill, and a poor man may develop an much skill as any­ body. says an exchange. Live stock Is not bred with money, but with brains. Recently an English tenant farmer sold out his herd of Shorthorns for an , average of nearly $350 per head, fifteen bulls averaging over $015. His farm is , described az having only fifty acres of Arabic kind, and the pastures face the keen winds of tbe German ocean.

Tbe congress has created the department : of comtneure and labor, including tbe bureau of corporations, with for the first tints authority to secure proper j publicity of such proceedings of these great corporations as tbe public has tbe right to know. It has provided for the expediting of snltrToF the enforce­ ment of tbe federal antitrust law. and by another Jaw If has secured equal treatment to all producers in tbe trans­ portation of their goods, thus taking a long stride forward In making effec­ tive the work of the interstate com­ merce commission. Tbe preliminary work of the bureau of corporations In tbe department of labor has shown the wisdom of its cre­ ation. Publicity in corporate affairs will tend to do away with Ignorance and will afford facts upon which Intel­ ligent action may be taken. Systemat­ ic, intelligent investigation Is already developing facts tbe knowledge of which Is essential to a right under­ standing of tbe needs and duties of tiie business world. The corporation which is honestly and fairly organ­ ized. whose managers in tbe conduct of its business recognize their obliga­ tion to deal squarely with their stock­ holders, their competitors and tbe pub­ lic, has nothing to fear from such su­ pervision. Tbe purp°se of this bureau Is not to embarrass or assail legitimate business, bur to aid In bringing about a better industrial condition—a condi­ tion under which there shall be obedi­ ence to law and recognition of public obligation by all corporations, great or small. The department of commerce and labor will be not only the clearing bouse for information regarding the business transactions of tbe nation, but the executive arm of the government to aid In strengthening our domestic and foreign markets, in perfecting our transportation facilities, in building up our merchant marine, to preventing the entrance of undesirable immigrants, in improving commercial and industrial rondltions and in bringing together on common ground those necessary part­ ners to Industrial progress—capital and tabor. Capital and Labor. The consistent policy of tbe national government, so far as it has the power, is to bold to check the unscrupulous man. whether employer or employee, but to .refuse to weaken Individual Initia­ tive or to hamper or cramp the indus­ trial development of the country. We recognize that this Is an era of federa­ tion and rombinntlon. in which great capitalistic corporations and labor 'un­ ion* have become factors of tremendous importance In all industrial centers. Hwrjr recognition is given tbe far reaching, beneficent work which has been accomplished through both cor­ porations and unions, and the line as between different corporations, as be‘----- m different unions, is drawn as It ii, etween different individuals— that t is drawn on conduct the effort |g to treat both organized capital organized labor alike, asking toXhsave that the Interest of each shall brought fntb harmony with tbe tnter»l of the general public and that S! conduct of each shall conform to the fundamental rules of obedience to law, of Individual freedom and of ju*ticennd fair dea..ng toward ail. Wben, ever either corporation, labor union or Individual disregards the law or acts in t spirit of arbitrary and tyrannous Interference with the rights of others, whether corporations a? individuate, then where the federal government has Jurisdiction it will see to It that tbe misconduct (s stopped, paying not the slightest heed to the position or power of fbe corporation, the union or the in(ttvtdual. but only to one vital fact— is. the question whether or nnt the conduct of tbe individual or aggre- the law of the land.

If every sigh means a drop of blood out of the heart at people say, every cough means some greater or lees pmnprtion of time knocked off one’s JUMP Most people cough as loudly and forcibly as they can. Some ch route cougbers seem a bit proud of the terrible noise they make. But It Is a rather costly noise, for the simple reason that it tears and inflames the lungs. i The lungs consist of an extraordina­ rily delicate spongelike tissue, which sometimes gets Inflamed and choked [ with phlegm. When we try to get rid । of this substance we cough. But, obviouaiy, If wc remove it violently we must necessarily injure the delicate lung tissue. Therefore train yourself to cough as gently as possible. After a ! little practice you will find it quite easy to do so. In that way you will do a minimum of mischief to the lungs and add years to your life. FlRnt Misers.

Without doubt there has been much more complaint of trouble with the eyes during the last half century than ever before While no small amount of this poor sight can be laid to overuse of tbe eyes in reading and work, n large proportion is caused by lack of knowledge a« to how to arrange the light to best advantage and prevent it from shining In the eyes, either di­ rectly or by reflection.

THE REAL HEROISM OE PHYSICIANS By Dr ■lunjuuiu ANDREW WILSON. Physicist i owe so much to the DEVOTION AND SKILL of the medical profession that anything which con­ cerns the relations between doctors and their pa tients—that is to say, the public—must always pos­ trtfrffli sess a deep interest for both sides. Mr. Barrie, in his new play, has thought fit to satirize the physician by his sketch of the local practitioner and the consultant. Various indignant protests have been made against the dramatist’s treatment of his theme. It has often been suggested that in the matter of the consult­ ing physician or surgeon there is represented a kind of SOLEMN FARCE when a meeting is held to determine the fate of a patient. Dr. A., it is asserted, always agrees with Dr. B. The treatment of the latter is duly commended by the former, and the patient and his friends* it is contended, are left none tbe wiser for the additional expense incurred. It is even added by some critics that the errors of one Al doctor are duly COVERED AND CONCEAL- F ED by doctor the second. t ' It may be urged that doctors need no defend- yS ers and that the sensible portion of humanity fully recognizes the skill, unselfishness and often U.. REWARDED de votion of the doctor to his patients. This may be true, but one v* the same time might inquire why periodically the medical profes­ sion should be attacked not only in literature, but EVEN ON THE STAGE. The profession of medicine boasts heroes who face dangers ev­ ery day far more subtle in nature than are represented BY SHOT AND SHELL. I was recently asked by an editor to express my opinion regarding the bravest deed I know of. Without hesitation I quoted the act of the doctor in sucking a tube inserted in the throat of a child stricken with diphtheria to clear it, thus running the risk of rnfect'nn. Doctors have died after performing this act, one of the deepest «elf sacrifice, since literally the medical man in such a case exhibit THAT GREATEST LOVE WHICH LAYS DOWN LIFE FOR A FRIEND.

All the geniuses whom I have made the object of my studies DESPISED THE AVERAGE SENSATIONAL FACULTIES ; flf people. Newton one time was so excited that he would have ; talon the finger from his niece to stop up his pipe. Tucherel for­ got bis own name. Mullet, Goncourt and Flaubert had such keenly developed senses for bearing that the noise of the streets and tho strikings of clocks became unbearable. With Baudelaire the sense of smell was overdeveloped. The painter Francis died of happiness o» the street because he had seen a picture by Raphael M. W. Thayer, who attempts to prove tho longevity, of the men of genius of tho nineteenth century, cannot contradict the fact that THE MAJORITY OF POETS HAVE DIED YOUNG. In sixty-six cases whosp average age was fifty-two nine died between twenty-five and forty years, among them Keats, Shellejr, Byron, Leopardi and Poe. Of thirty-nine painters and sculptors whose average age was sixty-six Fortuny died at the age of thirty-two years. Of thirty musicians whose average age was twenty-six Avber attained twenty-nine years, Verdi eighty, while four others, Bellini, Bizet, Schubert and Mendelssohn, died young. A number of geniuses have preserved their faculties for a remarkably long time, as, for example, Humboldt, to his eightieth year; Verdi, and Goethe, who finished the second part of his “Faust” when eightytwo years old. ’ EARLY DEVELOPMENT is another characteristic of genius. Dante wrote a sonnet to Beatrice when nine years old. Mozart gave a concert when six years' of age. Tasso translated poems at ten; Pascal at thirteen. On tbe other hand, we have gennises who were long in matur­ ing, as, for example, Alfieri, Wren, Humboldt, Linnaeus, Flaubert and Domenichino.

Among modern writers arc Daudet, Darwin, Goethe. Carlyle, who called music tho language of the angels, and Moo who conceived his poems first in music.

LOGAN of New York, Corporation Lawyer HE problems confronting the people of this nation ''-today are fully as great as those with which the people wrestled in 1776 or during the days just pre­ ceding the civil war. ECONOMIC LAWS will do a great deal toward keeping the trusts from op­ pressing the people. That no trust or monopoly can fix prices to suit itself has been seen again and again. When it goes beyond a certain limit and attempts to make big profits Its ▼ery PROSPERITY will cause NEW COMPETITION to en­ ter the field. While this economic law can always be relied upon to check the greed of tho gigantic combinations of capital, yet it frequently fails to work until great suffering has been caused to •ociety. The truth of this can be seen in the cases of several ex­ ploded trusts. THEIR GREED W AS THEIR UNDOING, but they brought misery to thousands of innocent victims. There is clearly a need of other means being employed to secure the integrity of society and the freedom of its members. The first of these is the legisla­ tive power of the people. Society has the right to legislate for its own preservation. Too many of our public men are interested in the big corporations to pass effective laws. We need honest legislators, and then something can be accom­ plished. The corporations capitalized at many millions can be kept in check by taxation, by taking advantage of flio interstate com­ merce act and finally BY THE STAT? ITSELF BECOMING. A COMPETITOR if necessary. Such competition would not be socialism, but would prevent tbe manhood of the nation from being reduced to A STATE OF BONDAGE. The Prevarications of Children By Mrs. ELLA ADAMS MOORE. University flf CMcat* HE creation of invisible companions is a common phe­ nomenon among children.

These are tbe people whom General Leonard Wood has been fighting on tbe Island of Joto, where several thousand warriors under tbe leadership of Pungiima Hassen have been In armed rebellion. It is said that this action -on the part of Pangllma Hassen may have the effect of abrogating the so called Bates treaty. , ' By this treaty, which was arranged by General John C. Bates. U. 8. A., In 1900. tbe sultan became a citizen of tbe United States and was placed on a pen­ sion of about $3,000 a year. It also provided that tbe sovereignty of the United States over the archipelago be acknowledged, that the rights of tbe sultan be respected and that the Moros should not be Interfered with on ac­ count of their religion. Further? the treaty prohibited the introduction of arms and munitions of war Into the islands and guaranteed that the United States would give full protection tq the sultan against foreign Interference. Tbe sultan of the Sulu archipelago claims Jurisdiction not only over that group, but also over northern Borneo. His religious control as representative of the prophet is, however, more wide­ ly recognized than his political and military sway. He has In the Sulu group about 120.000 subjects aud 20.­ 000 fighting men. These have the Mohammedan contempt for death and are of piratical and bloodletting tend­ ency and inclination.

The term used to tbe Hebrew Bible for putting on the bonnet of the high priest Is from a root meaning "to bind round.” The words miter, hood, dia­ dem, a* used to the Old Testament, are only variations df tbe word turban. Jerome tells us that the turban has a place in the most ancient records of history* Tbe variations as adopted by Mohammedans are many. Tbeir own authorities hint at a thousand methods of arranging the turban, which shows not only the tribe and religious dis­ tinction, but even the personal pecul­ iarities of the wearer. An ok! legend traces the turhan to an act of desperate courage recorded of the ancient Levantines. A brave band of warriors are said to have wrapped their winding flheeta round tbeir heads as they devoted themselves to certain death to save their comrades on. the battlefield. It has long been a question , to our minds as to bow the gopher snake caught the gophers on which he lives, but H. C. Heltzer tells how it was done, having witnessed a catch. Mr. Snake coiled his taU. overrthe, gopher hole, set­ ting a snare for him. When the gopher had crawled out of the hole sufficiently to permit the snake’s tall to be drawn about the body of the gopher the coil was fastened about Mr. Gopher as quick as a flash.

There Is a peculiar bird commonly known as the “kiwi," its scientific name being Apteryx mantelli. It is the lowest form of bird which exists, but is so scarce that scientists are happy to get a specimen in any condl&m. It is absolutely without wings or tall Its legs are abort, stubby, but very strong, and are used by this bird for digging. The body covering is a cross between hairADd feathers, a material which is very coarse. They can develop great speed and make a desperate fight when attacked. Breeding them in captivity has utterly failed, ttod only a few mu­ seums can boast of a specimen. They are now very rarely found in the for­ ests and- swamps in. the north of NewZealand.

Nothing could be 'better than a prescription which Dr..R, Dr. R. V. V. Pierce used in his large practice for rnany years, in tbe: diseases of women. This "Favorite Prescription ” of Dr. Pierce has had an immense sale for the past thirty-six years, because of its uniform success in the cure of women's diseases, and because of the many thousand women who have attested to its merit. Being made entirely of extracts of roots and herbs, without alcohol, it is perfectly harmless to the most delicate system, and the best ready-to-hand remedy in the market.” , "To insure perfect health, every tissue, bone, nerve, tendon, or muscle should take from the blood certain materials for its nourishment and growth. Every organ must have its period of activity and of rest, so as to circulate the vital fluid in a proper manner to nourish every part. This is why I believe in advising every woman to take gentle exercise out of doors or indoors.

One of our English friends says she always washes her blankets In dew. This sounds like rather a difficult op­ eration. but is really an easy one. Tbe blankets are put over tbe clotheslln;and thoroughly but gently beaten with a rattan furniture beater until all IoOsmdust is removed. Then, early In ’be morning, they are spread out flat on the wet grass and left there, like Gid eon’s flpei-c. until the grass Is dried, then turned and sunned a bit longer before being folded aud brought In. Tbe process is repeated three or four mornings, ns may be deemed necessary. The great advantage of this is that the blankets never lose tbeir new woolly look. Of course it would not be sat s factory If the blankets were stained and spotted, but from a sanitary point of view tbe prolonged sun bath is ad­ mirable. and our friend's blankets al­ ways look as fresh and clean as though they had passed tbrough several wash tubs.

In making a bow. instead of gather­ ing tbe ribbon after measuring the length of tbe loop you wish to make, take a spool of thread and with the Irone end twist the thread around and around the loop you arc making, draw­ ing It tightly. Then measure tbe next loop and twist tbe thread again. In this way you can make a bow or rosette without sewing, simply meas­ uring the lengths of loops needed, and when the bow Is pulled out a smarter effect Is given than when the loops are ail gathered. Ail milliners use this method, and It Is tbe only way to give a bow or rosette a crisp look.

Those inci­ dental details formed a part of Raffer­ ty's dramatic education. Pat was turned over to the property man by the stage manager with the injunction to "keep him growling and The house was filling up rapidly, which pleased the stage manager so mudi that he sent a super out to get a can of beer to keep the cobwebs out of the Hon’s throat.

There were catcalls from tbe galleries and shrieks of mirth from the women. Then the curtain came down with a rush, and Pat was jerked behind the scenes. Tbe heroine, filled with rage, tried to scratch his eyes out The prompter, struck him with a barrel stave. Still the fipplnu&e from the audience continued. Cries of “We want tbe Irish Hon!" came from al) over the bouse. “Fetch him out!” -“Get out to front of the curtain, you thickhead!” said the stage manager. “They’ll have the bouse down.” Pandemonium broke loose when Pat appeared. "Tell us all about it, l'at,J’ said a wag In the orchestra. “Yes! A speech! A speech!” came from the galleries. And Pat. taking all this for applause, raised his band and said: "Leddies an’ gtotlemen. I’m a plastherer on strike.

Rafferty pulled the string, and tbe animated paint brush smote his sides like a carpet beater, producing a cloud of suffocating dust. Sneezing and choking, the Irish lion gasped: "Take off me bead!

A crowd of dancers in tights and scanty garments pressed around the Hon. screaming with laughter. "Poor fellow!

See the New Game I In a reoent lecture to bls class in 10­ ' ternational law, President Angell of the University of Michigan, made tbe following oom men wi on ’be pre-ent re­ lotion of the new republic of Panama ' to the United States: , I “Usually a new government in not recognised hy other nations until after hostilities have ceased between itself and the mother country; but In this case the circumstances entering Into the question are entirely without pre­ cedent. In 184H the United States made a treaty with Colombia by which tbe construction of the trans-istbmian railway waaprovlded for. Securing as* it did advantages to both countries, the United States was given power to land troops and protect this railway in case of war or revolution. Th*a country has found It necessary to land troops for the protection of the railway nearly every year alnoQ the treaty was made. Now, owing to tbe fact that the ihterooeanlp canal would secure great ad­ vantages to Panama, tbe people of this state were very desirous of having ft built. Almost naturaby then when Columbia refused to ratify the canal < treaty granting to the United States the privilege ofconstructing tbecanal, j tbe people of Panama revolted and pro- j clatm-d their independence. The new republic was at once rec gnized by this I country, and also by France and Ger- ' many. Owing to the qlau-e of the treaty of 1846 the United States refuses to allow the Columbian troops to be landed In Panama because a war will | of necessity interfere with the isthmian I railway; while on ihe other hand Co-1 lombia is unable to march iroop* over­ land to Panama because of the physical character of the country. It is hardly possible, therefore, that Colombia can force .Panama back into tbe former re­ lation'with her; and this seems likely to be a successful revolution without bloodshed.

Interest 1c the case is in­ tense and rivals that of a similar case when Brigham H. Roberts.was expelled from the house of representatives a few years ago, on proof that he was a poligamist. A mass of petitions, calling for Senator Smoot’s expulsion has been're­ ceived from 40 different states. Tbe charges against tbe senator are two-fold. First that be*is a poligamlsl. This charge is not well founded, and it is generally believed that be can dis­ prove it. Tbe other is tbavas an apos­ tle of tbe Mormon church be has taken an oath of allegiance to it as tbe high­ est civil as well us military authority, and that such oath is incompatible with his oath of allegiance to the United States. The senate committee will ex­ amine thoroughly tbe position of the Mormon church and if these charges are substantiated, the Utah senator will be unseated. It is believed, however, that these charges will not be-proved. The proceedings of tbe committee will be followed with interest.

It was just a flurry that didn't last long?’ Governor Cummins long ago deserted )t in practical politics, although, he preached it in a recent academic discus­ sion in Boston.

When a “co’n shuckin’ ” was decid­ ed upon notices were sent out to the slaves of ail adjoining plantations stat­ ing that on a certain night Judge S. or'Squire B. would give a corn shuck­ ing of so many thousand bushels and that all colored people, male and fe­ rule. were invited to ottend. Great preparations were made by “ole mas­ ts” and “ole missus” for this event, for. whlk they expected a good night’s work In the shape of wagon loads of /allow corn, pleasure was to be the main part of tbe programme. Supper was always provided on a large scale and generally consisted of two or three roasted pigs, turkeys and chickens, with side dishes of vege­ tables, in equal proportion. Bushels of sweet potatoes were baked, boiled and fried, and hundreds of rich, golden pumpxin pies were turned out of tbe ovens, done to a mouth watering urowu. A band of musicians was engaged, for no "co’n shuckin’ ” would be com­ plete without it On those nights ne­ groes worked not happily save to tbe twanglug of tbe banjo and walling of tbe fiddle. A corn shucking always lasted three qlgbts continuously on one plantation, and then the negroes moved on to tbe next, where three more were devoted to the com of tbe owner, and so on until ail tbe maize of tbe neighborhood bad been busked. About twilight tbe darkles began to arrive from all over tbe country, tbe “boys” clad In their suits of jeans.

The female portion of the gathering was coquettlshly dressed In llnsey C wooteej frocks, with their beads tied up In flaming red bandanna iiandkerchiefs, the redder the better, and with a white handkerchief crossed upon their breasts. They came in groups, and each party of buskers from a neighboring planta­ tion was announced long before It ar­ rived by the well known tunes preva­ lent in those days floating down the road and over the fields as the happy boys and women hastened to tbe gath­ ering. A favorite tune was this: Yea we’s gwlne to de shuckin', . Yes, are's gwine to de shuckin', We's gwinc to de shuckin' of de co*n.

Directions are hero given which may serve to guide the feeder in his practice. For horses which are out of the stable during the day and worked hard all grain, with the possi­ ble exception of oats, should be ground. For those at extremely hard work nil grain should be ground and mixed with chaffed hay. For Idle horses oats or com should not be ground, uor need the hay or straw be chaffed. A cow yielding a large flow of milk should be regarded as a hard working animal and her feed prepared accordingly. Fattening steers and pigs may be crowded more rapidly with meal than with whole grain, though there Is more danger attendant upon its use. "Sheep worth feeding can always grind their own grain. In general idle animate and those having ample time for mastication, rumination and diges­ tion do not need their grain or rough­ age prepared us carefully as do those with only limited time for these es­ sential operations. Experiments quite generally show Increased gains from grinding graiu. but In many coses they are not sufficient to pay the cost of grinding.” . Alfalfa For Plffs.

It is said that'Christmas was at one time quite a movable feast and kept when the weather and circumstances permitted and that one of the early popes fixed on Dec. 25. Gradually the custom of singing canticles and carols was Introduced by tbe church In re­ membrance of those songs ot tbe heav­ enly host that amazed the shepherds on the Galilean hills acd sent them off in hot baste to find the wondrous babe. Tbe holly and mistletoe decorations, of course, descended from the Druids, and a pretty fancy reigned which suggest­ ed that the sylvan spirits would be in­ duced to follow tbe evergreen branches into bouse and church and remain there, sheltered from the utmost rigor of winter frosts and snows. Then the Yule log was lit on Christmas eve and the fire never allowed to go out before Candlemas, a device for securing warmth during the coldest weeks, while people sat around the hearth and amused themselves with hot cookies and snapdragon, conjuring and for­ feits and quaffed spiced ale and punch, much as tbelr descendants crack jokes "over the walnuts and the wine” of these days between Christmas and the new year, when business Is at a stand­ still and the children clamor for par­ ties and pantomimes.

Tbe lighting of Christmas candles and the burning of tbe “Christmas block” were tbe sure heralds of the season in old England, and tbe cus­ toms still survive in certain parts of tbe country. In some counties a piece of the Yule log is kept from one year to the next, in order to light the next year’s log. In ancient times this frag­ ment was supposed to be a protection against fire and thunder. Its ashes were given to animals for certain sick­ ness and were scattered over tbe land to keep tbe corn from blight In Devonshire what is known as the “Ashton fagot” is burned on Gbrlatmas eve, and a company watches the failing apart of the hoops with which the fagot Is bound as they burst with the beat In some parts of England, after the church service, tbe people express their joy by crying out In chorus: “Yule!

W. O. McAdoo, president of tbe two corporations which are building tbe trolley tunnels, stated recently that barring accidents, it would be possible to walk under the Hudson from New York to Jersey City early In 1904. At the present rate- of progress the north tube should be finished by the end of February. The south tube, which will be about a mile distant from the one now nearing completion. It is believed will be constructed with much greater rapidity than tbe first, and, if the hopes of Mr. .McAdoo are realised, electric cars, either singly or in trains, will be running under the Hudson In two years. Tbe reasons for believing that the work op the south tube will go forward more rapidly than the work on Its pred­ ecessor are that greater Improvements have been made in tbe shield with which tbe work of tunneling under wa­ ter is accomplished. Tbe shield used at present Is a cylinder thirteen feet long and twenty feet In diameter, fur­ nished with a hardened steel cutting edge. A few feet behind the cutting edge is a steel head in which are nine doors, and around tbe edge of tbe shield are sixteen hydraulic jacks which force tbe shield ahead in tbe mud. When rock was encountered, soon aft­ er the present company began work, the old shield bad to be altered in order to render it suitable for drilling and blasting outside tbe chamber used for advancing tbe shield tunnel Id tbe mud prevlouslv encountered.

Two new shields bare been built expres^Jy for excavating tbe south tube and equipped with every device that ■ experience In dlggiug the north tube । has suggested, and tbe work will be ad­ vanced from both aides of tbe river. In front of tbe shield are drills oper­ ated by compressed air, and hydraulic and pneumatic power are used to ad­ vance it Tbe tunnel and tbe working cbomberv in tbe shield and In front oi It are lighted by electricity. The work at al) stages <s performed In compress­ ed air at a pressure just sufficient to counterbalance the pressure of the wa­ ter above. This pressure varies accord­ ing to tbe depth of the water to be kept back, tbe maximum being thirty-six pounds to the square inch above tbe normal air pressure at sea level. Tbe method of excavating and lining the tunnel is very simple. Tbe doors of the compartments of tbe shield having been opened. It is pushed forward Into tbe comparatively soft mud twenty-five Inches, tbe displaced material entering Its compartments. Tbe men within tbe air lock then remove tbe material, and w,hen the interior* of tbe shield is qtear a number of the arc shaped sections of vast steel wbkb form tbe skin of the tunnel are bolted into connection with the previously constructed tube In tbe form of a ring of a width equal to tbe length of tbe shove. Thus every advancement of the shield, with tbe structural work that fol­ lows, adds about two feet to tbe com­ pleted tunnel. When working In rock, however, drilling, blasting and clearing away the debris in front of the shield necessarily precede the shove. The men while at this work are protected by the rocky wall all around them and by tbe projecting peak of tbe shield abore.

HE apartment house marks the present stage in the evolution of the residence into heaven knows what final form of dwelling place. IT IS A CHANGE . FOR THE WORSE, this supplanting of tbe house by the ***** flat, but it is a condition ****** that we uhave to J wuv "'u face and make the best of, for a return to the old order of things is manifestly impossible*. In my opinion the altered condition, and not the people them­ eelves, is to blanje for the unsatisfactory results that I have ob­ served in my work among the flat dwellers. There appears to be a restless, nomadic influence about an apartment house that com­ municates itself to the people living there, IMPELLING THEM iTO STRIKE THEIR FOLDING BEDS and move on every Tew months. Flat dwellers, as a rule, don’t stay long enough in one spot to become interested in the neighborhood. They are what I call roving floaters and are an INCUBUS on society. I find the same objectionable features, to a lesser degree per­ haps, in the larger flats where the family has its own servants and dining room and which bear a greater resemblance to a real borne, but the people living in the tenement, the boarding bouse, tho small flat or the large suit of apartments are generally alike in not regarding their abodes AS PERMANENT HOMES. They al) expect sooner of later to move on and bo do not trouble to affil­ iate with the church or society in their neighborhood except in the most superficial and unavailing .way. It is so hard to get in touch with these nomads that I feel sometimes tempted to regard them aa “airy nothings,” to whom it is impossible to give a local habita­ tion or a name. ANOTHER DISCOURAGING FEATURE OF THE SITUATION IS pTHAT IT DRIVES SO MANY MEN WHO ARE NOT SATISFIED TO ;CALL SOME SPECIAL DRAWER IN THE BIG SAFETY DEPOSIT {BUILDING OF AN APARTMENT HOUSE “HOME” OUTSIDE THE CITY Ito live. ! There are thousands of young men doing business here, bright, (honorable, industrious young fellows, college bred most of them, .who spend two hours 'morning and home at night who could give that time and would }be giad to do it in helping on the good work being done in this laity. I need, and every minister in New York needs, the services of JUST SUCH MEN AS THESE, not in sectarian or religious matters, but in educational and pbilanthro} ic work among the poor .and ignorant classes. THE EDUCATION CF THE NEGRO aUfejrifeylHE race question is merely whether the negro shall re8al^e<^ “ fl maD- THE QUESTION IS WHETHER HE BELONGS TO THE HUMAN a RACE. If be be a man all tbe rights which belong . WniisiMv to a man should be given him; if he be a man all the duties which belong to a man should be given to him to do. | Therefore the question is a question not of tbe south, not of the north, or of the United States, or of Africa. IT IS A QUES­ TION OF HUMANITY, of the perfectibility of man, of the suffi­ ciency of God to save man, of the capacity of man to be saved. Therefore the-question is a question of and for tbe race, but it is also a question of and for the INDIVIDUAL. I In making himself the best character, in making himself the best doer, education is for man tbe PRIMARY force. Education ia the only force which the state formally uses for its security and perpetuity, for education represents the love of the family, tho value of the infinite, which is the essence of religion, the book and the '-whole power of personality. Education is comprehensive,, vital, VI­ TALIZING. ’ ’­ I At this point emerges the inquiry about the KIND of educa­ tion to be used in securing these great results. The answer is as clear as are the principles whence ia derived the answer. Tbe an,*wer is ALL KINDS of education. Shall the hand say to the foot,“I have no need of thee!” ; . THE KIND IS DETERMINED BY THE CAPACITY OF THE INDI YIDUAL, BY THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND BY TH* CAREER THE INDIVIDUAL IS TO PURSUE.

Is It not? The back country farmers can raise such stuff cheaper than I can. What would be the cost of keeping a breeding sow a year on a back country farm? Most any farmer would keep one for $15. 1 think, if there Is an average of fifteen young pigs a year, which are now Bell­ ing for $3 each, that would be $45, which would-show about as good profit as an average cow. If 1 can sell to farmer* in New Hampshire and else­ where to be grown and fattened they could certainly raise them at a good profit themselves.

In tbe wet condition and fresh from the factory or stored in the silo It is a most excellent feed for cattle and sheep, says Breeder’s . Gazette. Tbe factories, being unable to find u*e for all of the fresh, moist material, have adopted the practice of drying the pulp, and some have added molasses to the dried mass in order to render it more palatable and to furnish additional nu­ triment as well. From tbe character of tbe basic material, beet pulp, it will be seen that it is hardly a substance to be fed pigs in any large quantity. If tbe molasses used is beet sugar factory residue, then this material has a more or Jew purging effect, somewhat neu­ tralized. however, by the beet pulp. Dried molasses pulp will doubtless prove a good feed for animals that ru­ minate. For the pig, with its small stomach and digestive apparatus, the substance possesses too much bulk and woody^natter to be used in any consid­ erable quantity. It is a carbohydrate rather than a protein food. This is obviated by running tbe beads through a feed cutter.

Bat in spite of this the season of Christmas has a bright side that in the \ eyes of most people greatly exceeds the it-'- shadow. If people do not attach as muqh importance to the religious natore of the festival as they ought, there . is abroad in tbe hearts of all a spirit of unusual kindness and thoughtfulness for others—the spirit of peace aod good B . will towards men which the angels her­ . ■ elded to the shepherds of Bethlehem on \ tbe night when the Christ child was ». *, born.

It is a time of the sancti­ fication of childhood with its innocence, and artlessness and faith; of tbe renew­ al of the most sacred ties of home and affection; of the breaking down of the bonds of selfishness and cynicism and indifference which contact with life’s hard problems has thrown around us and the revival of the tender, inspir­ ing and wholesome sentiments that the Babe of Bethlehem brought to man­ kind. I . I Gorman’s Criticism of the President. Tbe course of Senator Gorman, who seems to have been constituted leader of the democratic minority, is likely to have an important bearing on tbe for­ tunes of the party. Mr. Gorman made a sharp attack on tbe president’s Pan­ am a policy last Thursday in which he intimated that tbe president was acting • for political effect and endangering the peace of lhe country for merely selfish k . purposes. He furthermore intimated that tbe president was exceeding his rights and trespassing upon the powers at the senate in his recent course relal tlve to Panama and Colombia. If the senator intends to make the Colombian incident a party issue he to making a deplorable mistake. Tbe rela­ tions of our national government with uthergovernmentsoughtnottobo made a subject for partisan consideration. Whatever differences©! opinion AmeriE.‘ cans may have concerning internal af­ fairs they ought to present a united and harmonious front before other nations. E If we should get into a war with Colombta It would be very short sighted if not ' unpatriotic, for the democratic party, • as an organization, to stand opposed to the government in the conduct of the war. Happily the democratic party assumed no such narrow policy in the Spanish-American war although it did A> not approve of all that, was done by tbe republican administration. And if we | should now become involved with Cofombia it would be wise and patriotic E?for the party to take tbe same broad, C patriotic stand us in 1898. But if it to tbe purpose of the senator from Maryland and bis democratic col­ leagues simply to keep in check a presi­ dent whose “strenuosity” is apt to lead him into a false and untenable position, I whose self-confidence is likely to carry tbe government beyond the bounds of . • law and consistency and whose self assertiveness to threatening to encroach . upon the rights of the senate, then he ’ is to be commended for simply doing hto duty m s United States senator. . For there to little doubt that Presi| den> Roosevelt needs to be held some­ what In check. However well-intenJK. tkmed he may be in his bundling of the , ‘ Panama problem, it to evident that not e <mly firmness and courage of which tbe president to generally acknowledged to ■’ have a super abundance, are needed, <•' but also wisdom and tact and patience. * If therefore the democratic leader in •'' ■ the senate succeeds by hia criticism of • the president in aciding the executive ’ within tbe bounds of such moderation and wise statesmanship in dealing with > a delicate and dangerous complication . as will serve the highest interests of tbe country with honor, ne has done a patriotic and high minded thing. If he to actuated simply by a desire to make political capital be has made a sad mteL?.- take for which bto party ought not to £ . stand. qnals U to o other bodj ciauoa, represents such great and far reaching possibilities or bas such mo­ mentous responsibilities entrusted to It. And yet this great convention of teach­ ers will hardly attract as much attention from the people at large as a state pollt leal convention. Ils program to replete with subjects that intimately concern society, good morals and good govern­ ment but It to doubtful whether this fact to mor£ than half realized by the people at large or Aven by the majority of teachers themselves. However thto may be, there to reason to believe that the true Importance ot the teaching profession to coming to be recognized more fully today than ever before and If thto to so such organiza­ tions as the state teachers’ association of Michigan have been mainly inetru mental in bringing about such a reali­ zation. The great work of education is in reality a profession and should rank in the general estimation fully as high as the so-called learned professions of the law, of medicine and the pulpit, and it to the work of the state association to uplift the-teachers’ work to its proper level. As a result of such influence the time is near at band when entrance into the profession of teaching will be as rigidly guarded as is that of law or medicine at the present time. And what'will come as a necessary consequence, compensa­ tion to the teacher will be made some­ what nearly proportional to the high dignity and worth of his calling. This important result, it can hardly be doubted, is the chief mission of the great association of educators that will meet in Ann Arbur next week. And though tbe influence of thto .organiza­ tion is destined to increase the cost of maintaining our public school system by raising the standard of qualifications, this fact will not really work to the detriment of tbe public purse. For bet­ ter teaching means better results, greater intelligence, and youth better equipped for the work of life. So if more money to expended in teachers’ salaries, these more valuable results will more than give adequate compen­ sation. Tbe taxpayers of the state may there­ fore look upon the work of the teachers’ association with perfect complacency. CLARA BARTON, FOUNDER OF THE RED CRO88 IN AMERICA Throush Her Efforts the United States Slamod tke International r- laatlnn For the Belief o< Bafforta*. The fourth annual meeting of the American National Red Crow at Wash­ ington, perhaps the most important to Its history, recalls the controversy aroused last winter over the proposed reorganization of the society, which re­ sulted to much ill feeling apd the sus­ pension of a number of members. The controversy, precipitated by a memorial sent to the last session of the Fifty-seventh congress, had its incep­ tion in a belief that the organization should be conducted on business prin­ ciples. The Red Cross had always boon to popular favor and its head and founder to this country, Clara Barton, held In affectionate esteem for ber de­ voted labors in connection with It But some at the members felt that unless there was a radical change in business methods the Red Gross would lose pub­ lic confidence and support and its use­ fulness be destroyed. By some it was felt that Miss Barton was too old for the task of managing the organization. The Red Cross society originated in the mind of Henri Dunant of Switzer­ land, and through bls efforts an Inter­ national conference was held at Gene­ va In October, 1863, to which repre­ sentatives from all countries were In­ vited. This conference resulted In what Is known to the world as the Geneva treaty, upon which the Red Cross soci­ ety was founded. One of the first steps deemed neces­ sary by the International committee was the Indorsement by the several states of Europe of a treaty which should recognize the neutrality of the hospitals established, of the wounded and of all persons and effeefe connect­ ed with the Red Cross work. The adoption of a uniform protective badge was also urged. This convention was signed by twelve European nations in ' | K if/allham Thk death of Mrs. Sarah Caswell Angell will call out the sincere sorrow of Michigan’s alumni over the loss of au exemplary, cultured woman, whose life has been so closely associated with that of the venerable president of that insti­ tution, as well as their warmest sympa­ thies for Dr. Angell In his great be­ reavement.

J. Brown, who recently return­ ; ed from a trip»xbroad, where be made a study of the question. “Breaches of promise are averted in Hungary by an express declaration of the civil marriage act that the relations created by a betrothal do not give the right to command the conclusion of a marriage, but If either party with­ draws’from an engagement without Just reasons be or sbe Is bound to grant compensation to the extent of tfce outlay Incurred. Divorce in the English sense does not exist, but the •courts can decree the personal separa­ tion of a married couple without dis­ solving the bonds of matrimony. “A curious law prevailing in France gravities that before being married Children of a family, although over age. shall seuk In respectful and form­ al terms the advice of their father and mother. It makes no difference, how<ver, whether the consent of parents Is given, for tbe couple can be married a month after under any circumstances. This is also the case in tbe Nether­ lands. A divorce further entitles the innocent party to recover all the pres­ ents he or she may have made. “According to the constitution of tbe Netherlands, the civil marriage must always precede the religious ceremony. The latter. Indeed, is left entirely to the conscience of the parties concern­ ed. There is also a law providing that no man or woman under thirty can marry without tbe consent of parents. If tbe consent be refused, the couple have to appear before a Judge, who advisee them as be thinks best. "Many countries have now abolished all marriage fees.

Tbe square on the southern side of Pennsylvania avenue, now occupied by Center market, was then used as a ■bow ground for circuses and other peripatetic exhibitions. About this time P. T. Barnum was beginning his ca­ reer as a showman, and as Colonel Ben­ ton was walking down Pennsylvania avenue opposite this show ground he was attracted by the words “John C. Premont” uttered In a loud voice by a •bowman standing at tbe door of a ■nmll tent. In front of which was n garish caricature of a nondescript ani­ mal supposed to represent the “woolly horre” discovered by Fremont tn the' recesses of the Rocky mountains. Benton stalked across tbe avenue and listened with -great disgust to tbe state­ ment by Barnum. who was his own doorkeeper and solicitor, that inside the tent could be found tbe greatest natural curiosity in tbe world, “the mc<nt and now on exhibition'.’’ Benton denounced Barnum as un impootor and denied that his son-in-law had discovered any soch animal.
